On Tuesday, December 17, a more beautiful life, even more beautiful…

Ariane refuses to dwell on the past

At the police station, Zoe visits her mother to ask for some pocket money for a Christmas present. Ariane replies that he does not like this date because, according to him, Christmas is a commercial holiday. But in reality, Ariane has bad childhood memories of Christmas.

A disappointed Zoe still takes advantage of his arrival and opens the box in the Advent calendar. But Ariane doesn’t let him read the message and asks her to go see The Bachelor. Patrick, watching the scene, advises his colleague to play.

The latter listens to his colleague, opens the box on the calendar and finds this message: “He who keeps his childish spirit never grows old.” Surprised, he tells Patrick that he doesn’t know how to celebrate Christmas.

A few minutes later, Ariane finds Zoë in the Mistral. The policeman gives his daughter a Christmas sweater and explains that he is ready to celebrate this magical day. Then she confides in him: “We’re going to create our own little Christmas fever.” Mother and daughter are smiling again.

Ophel receives the most beautiful gift

At Masalia’s residence, Aya offers Ophel a pancake with a birthday candle. He offers to do something special for this special day, but the young woman is not in the mood. Aya tells him: “We’re going to make December 17th a cool date for you.”

Meanwhile, in Marseilles, Vanessa (Agathe de la Boullie) surprises Ulysses (Jérème Charve) in front of their house. The latter informs him that he has come to collect some things for his little sister.

She takes advantage of this quick exchange and informs her mother that she agrees to help Ophel find her biological parents. Vanessa is convinced that this is a very bad idea: “You’re making a serious mistake and it risks costing Ophel dearly.”

A few hours later, Ulises offered Ophel two concert tickets. She is delighted with this gift. He takes advantage of the situation and asks his brother if he has any information about his real parents, but so far, his research has turned up nothing.

Ulysses asks her if she is really sure she wants to meet her biological parents, and Ophel replies: “Of course it’s important for me to know where I’m coming from.” In addition, she is convinced that her mother lied to her that they were violent people.

Later, Aya gives Ophel a surprise gift. This is the key with the number 25. Actually, Ophelia just got a room in the residence. In addition, Aya asks her friend to open the box on the calendar. A young woman finds the following message: “Get 25, that’s the spirit of Christmas.” Both women are surprised by this coincidence.

Thomas leaves Rome

Baptiste meets Emma at the beach to tell her some important news: he got the DNA test results and he’s not Roman’s biological father. She feels relieved, but the young woman is still worried that she lied to him.

Emma said to her companion: “I don’t know if I want to give you a second chance.” He then leaves, ending the conversation, leaving Baptiste alone with his regrets.

On the other hand, Thomas (Laurent Kerussore) and Romy spent the night in a hotel. Thomas still does not know that this is not his grandson. Suddenly, Gabriel arrives to lecture her for running away with the baby.

In Mistral, Killian is having trouble adjusting to his new situation. He asks Aya: “We agree that since Baptiste has returned, it’s a bit silly?” A young woman protects her elder.

Killian confides in his girlfriend and explains that he feels left out: “I feel like I’m a part of this family, kind of a lackey.” In addition, he specifies that his half-brother has not offered to spend time together until the end of the year.

Meanwhile, at the Flower Pavilion, Deborah Larche is anxious to see her daughter again. Blanche tries to calm him down. Eric suddenly joins them and reveals to Deborah that Baptiste is not Rome’s father. The young woman doubted it, though she wished she was.

Arriving at the Flower Pavilion, Thomas comes face to face with Deborah. He gives her rum and then leaves, forced to part with the child so dear to him. The young woman said: “You’re not Rome’s grandfather, but I sure wish it was you.”

Returning home, Thomas burst into tears when he found Roman’s belongings scattered all over the house. Gabrielle tries to comfort her, but the pain is too great.
