On Thursday, May 9, everything starts here…

Brigades are formed for the Coupe de France

Following the return of Teyssier, who decided to represent the Western region as the coach of Kelly’s brigade for the Coupe de France, Cardone is trying to regain control of the situation. He summons Kelly, Salome and Malik to his office to threaten them: if they participate in the Coupe de France, they will be fired from the institute. Although Kelly and Salome stand by the director, Malik has some reservations and prefers to leave the competition.

Leaving the office, Kelly finds her mother in the park and proudly tells her what happened. But he thinks it’s better to blackmail Cardone. After receiving a request to fire Kelly from her new boss, Antoine also asks the young woman to think carefully about the consequences of her actions. Laetitia insists that she won’t have to look at Chef Rossetti – who dismissed them as rubbish when she was working as a cleaner at his hotel – who is a member of the jury. But Kelly fully intends to participate in the Coupe de France, whatever the cost.

At Double A, while he’s making out with Malik, Maya calls him a coward for letting Kelly and Salome go in front of Cardone. The young man defends himself by saying that he has everything to lose in the first year. After the service, Maya finds Kelly and Salome in the amphitheater to ask to be hired as a clerk to replace Malik. The girls will be happy to receive it. That’s why the whole brigade gathers in Teysier for training.

Meanwhile, while he is in class, Malik receives a message from Maya, who warns him that she has taken his place in Kelly’s brigade. He then overhears Jasmine and Jim discussing their selection of brigade clerks and offers to become them. To convince them, Malik tells them that he has the gift of being able to recognize all the ingredients in a recipe after just tasting it once. After passing the final test, Jasmine accepts him into her brigade.

A little later, Jasmine makes an appointment with Kelly to tell her herself that Malik has joined her brigade. He adds that he is very happy to be back in the competition because he deserves it. As for her, Jasmine promises that she won’t give him a low blow during the competition. Kelly agrees to challenge him fairly: may the best win.

After practicing with Jim and Malik in the studio, Jasmine takes care to put everything away and clean up by herself. At the same time, Cardone comes to see their work. Jasmine hands him a plate: hot oysters with Breton cider confit and shallots. After tasting it, Cardone calls it “conductive”. He puts pressure on Jasmine to win the Coupe de France: if she doesn’t, she can say goodbye to her school diploma…

A new teacher is coming

In the park of the institute, David notices an unfamiliar face: a blonde woman, with a palette in her hand, is walking decisively towards the administrative building. He can’t help but approach her and cracks a few jokes. As the young woman leaves, David mocks her strange behavior. Clotilde corrects him, explaining that it is Alice Wisberg, the pastry teacher who will replace Landiras during the Coupe de France. Chef Armand adds that he taught at the Cardon school in Lille. It was the latter who recruited him.

In class, Carla and David continue to be surprised by Alice’s behavior. Indeed, the latter shows a certain sincerity towards the young man whose humor he does not understand and cannot stand the noise of pottery.

After this first experience with him, Carla talks to Rose about it, describing the professor as a robot. When left alone with Clotilda, Rose offers to help Alice integrate into the study team.

The Armand sisters throw a tea party at Double A and invite Alice to officially welcome them to the institute. Thus, they note that it is special to say the least: this time he shows honesty towards Cardon, whom he characterizes as brilliant but prejudiced.

Antoine contacted Teyssier again

Despite numerous attempts to call, Antoine systematically receives Tacey’s answering machine. If Penelope thinks the ex-principal perfectly understood why Antoine voted for Cardone and thinks he’s moved on, Antoine still feels the need to reassure her on the matter. Encouraged by her lover, she leaves Tessier a voicemail in which she tells him what’s on her heart.

Later, Antoine meets Leroy and takes the opportunity to ask him if he has any news from Taysier. Mark retorts that he knows his best friend well enough to know that it’s better to let him go before he slows down his betrayal. Antoine is embarrassed.

Despite everything, Antoine decides to go to Teissier, who is doing his work in Brittany. The deputy director admits that his message made him very happy. He also reassures Antoine by saying that he fully understands why he voted for Cardone. A relieved Antoine wishes his former colleague to win the Coupe de France de cuisine.
