Cleo reveals the truth to Suleiman

With Jasmine arrested by the police for the murder of Fabien Chevel, Jimmy decides to go to the police station to explain to the police that he is innocent. In fact, he claims he was with her in the woods when they heard the gunshots. But the gendarmes suspect him of covering up his lover and keep him in custody.

Back at the villa, Jimmy informs Berenica, Carla, Suleiman, Rose and Constance of the situation. Everyone is convinced that Jasmine is innocent, but they realize that the police are suspicious of her because she lied to them and told them that she didn’t know Shevelle.

Jimmy then warns Suleiman about Jasmine’s speculations about Cleo: she says the young girl might be part of a cult. Suleiman categorically rejects this idea. The tone rises, alerting Rose and Constance. So Jimmy tells them about his confidence and tells them about Louise, Jasmine’s best friend in society, who was Shevell’s daughter and who died of drowning. He tells them his lover’s theory: Chevelle finally discovered that Louise was alive. Rose then thinks that Louisa and Cleo might be the same person.

Suleiman then takes advantage of a walk on the beach with Cleo to confront her about it. The young girl finally admits that she is really Louise and that the Louvins, her mother’s friends, helped her escape from society because she seemed to have drowned. After that, Cleo never saw her biological father, Fabien Chevelle again. The Louvins protected him by homeschooling him, moving around frequently, and banning him from social media. Cleo asks Suleiman to keep these revelations a secret to keep Jero and Sandrine Louvin out of trouble.

Returning to the villa with Suleiman, Cleo encounters those who have been worried about death in her absence. Rose tries to make things right by inviting them to a barbecue planned for the evening. But the Louvins refuse to stay professional. Jerome points out that Cleo isn’t on vacation: she’s there to work. After that, Suleiman notices how much the young girl’s attitude towards her adoptive father changes, as if she is under the influence. He shares his point of view with Rose.

Finally, Suleiman ends up telling Rose and Constance what Cleo told him on the beach. They in turn repeat this to Paul so he can find the Louvins file in his office. Documents on file confirm that the Louvins move about every 10 months. As for Cleo’s ID, it says “Cléo Louvin” and not “Louise Chevelle”. Suddenly, Suleiman regrets betraying Cleo and confirms that the Louvins are good people who sacrificed themselves to protect her. However, Rose points out that the alternative they offered their adopted daughter isn’t necessarily better. Constance adds, confirming that they are willing to go to great lengths to protect her, assuming they can go as far as murder… Did the Louvins kill Fabien Chevel?

Leroy apologizes to Antoine

The tension in the management office is still palpable between Leroy and Antoine. The boss is still angry with the deputy director for hiding from him all day what happened at Paul Garnier’s villa, where their sons are on vacation. Laetitia, overhearing their argument, reminds them that they are waiting for them in Double A.

In the kitchen, Anais is forced to intervene to prevent things between Leroy and Antoine. The latter argue over cutting mushrooms. The chef tweaks them to gain efficiency.

At the end of the service, Anais congratulates her crew as the feedback from the room is positive. She stops by Leros anyway, noting that he is quite strict with Antoine, who, unlike the others, is not a trained cook. It will prompt him to update the dialog during the dive.

Leroy complies. He apologizes to Antoine when he was just worried about Jim. Antoine admits that he is also very worried about Suleiman. Thus, the two men find themselves surrounded by a sense of powerlessness.

Hortense and Mehdi were caught in a lie

Arriving at the studio, Mehdi and Hortense find that their brigade has left without warning. Malik and Maya went to make love, and Leonard took a break to go eat at a pop-up restaurant.

Annoyed by their frivolity, Mehdi makes them believe that Hortense is pregnant and that they should avoid strong emotions for her. Before the brigade goes back to work, Hortense takes her husband aside to express her reluctance to lie about the pregnancy. Eventually, Mehdi managed to convince him of the beneficial consequences of such a lie.

And for good reason, Malik, Maya and Leonard work hard to prepare a full buffet. Hortense gets so into the game that she pretends to have stomach aches. At the same time, Vicky comes to find her as Maya has informed that she is pregnant. A confused Vic told his mother on the phone.

At the end of the day, Hortense calls her mother to tell her that she is not pregnant. But Eugene Rochemont doesn’t believe him. She thinks her daughter is being cautious and avoids announcing it for up to 3 months. In turn, Mehdi starts receiving many congratulatory letters from his family members. As they pass, Olivia takes turns congratulating them. So it seems their lie has taken on an unexpected dimension…
