Teissier forces Anais to work with Milan
At her roommate in the swamp, Vicky tells Enzo about the challenge Anais has accepted: in less than two weeks, she has organized a special event at Double A to present her menu to all the great chefs.

In the kitchen, Anais and Vicky brainstorm a recipe for the perfect egg. Teissier comes to see them and decides to release Vicky from the second position. He believes that Anais should step out of her comfort zone and thus avoid working with someone who will lead her in the wrong direction. Instead, Teissier suggests organizing a test in the afternoon, where students will have to volunteer to come up with the perfect egg-based recipe. After the blind tasting, Anais will have to choose the best plate and the student who will make it will be the runner-up.
Later, during service, Anais asks a customer about her perfect egg recipe. She runs into Sam, who offers to go for a drink to discuss her recipe in more detail. Milan, who overhears their conversation, should not interfere. When Anais decides to go back to the kitchen, Milan interrupts her to find out if Sam has been flirting with her. The young woman replies that she has no responsibility to him. Teissier is forced to separate them to avoid a scandal in front of customers.
After which Teissier questions Enzo about the exact nature of Anais and Milan’s relationship. Thus, he realizes that they have a history and that their breakup has led to Anais’ lack of inspiration at Double A these days.
In the afternoon, Teissier oversees the kitchen’s test of the perfect egg. Anais decides to walk carefully to see who the candidates are. When he realizes that Milan is one of them, he asks Teissier to remove him from the race, claiming that he does not work with first years. The boss listens to him, then throws him out.
At the end of the test, the blind person returns to the kitchen for tasting. Both flavor each plate, but one in particular stands out. Anais decides that the student who did this will be her second. When Teissier reveals to her that it is Milan, Anais refuses to cooperate with him. But the director of the institute does not leave him a choice…
