Lionel and Zoe go to war

In the kitchen, Clotilde asks Lionel to create a traditional but surprising menu. The young man assures that he will get there. Teissier arrives with his counter-Christmas brigade. Each brigade must create a complete menu according to their respective concept. Teissier and Clotilde will taste it at the end of the day, but the winning brigade will be chosen by a selection of students and supervisors for greater impartiality.

At the commissary, Maya and Solal collect the ingredients for their recipe. Solal feels guilty for being the cause of this whole situation: the Laneaus are at war because of him, and Zoë hates him. Maya always encourages her friend to tell the girl the truth about her feelings. But Solal can’t discuss it because she doesn’t want to spoil her story with Gary.

Back in the kitchen, Solal and Maya learn that Lionel wants to revise their original recipe in Scandinavian style: he wants to smoke the beef and add pine needles to the duchess apples. The whole brigade is motivated.

Amy, on the other hand, realizes that she doesn’t have the ingredients for her recipe. Zoe claims she placed the order on Saturday evening. He then realizes that Lionel canceled it behind his back. The latter admits this without remorse, which angers his sister. Amy asks Gary to isolate Zoe while she thinks of a solution.

Enraged by Lionel’s behavior, Solal decides to follow Gary and Zoe to the CDI. While Gary goes to the commissary, Solal offers to help Zoe. He says he didn’t know anything. However, Zoe finds it difficult to understand his behavior these days. Solal still can’t tell him the truth.

Back in the kitchen, Solal criticizes Lionel for his lack of professionalism. At the same time, Maya takes the beef out of the smoker and realizes that it smells very strongly of lemons. Lionel discovers that Zoe has gotten her revenge.

At the same time, Teissier and Clotilde arrive to taste their menu. They quickly discover that they have sabotaged each other. Annoyed, the director of the institute decides to fire everyone…

Alice wants to help Gaspar

During the pastry lesson, Thelma pairs up with Gaspar. After his speech during Golden Spatulas, the young girl hopes that he has changed and tries to be nice to him, but he finds himself facing a wall. Moreover, Gaspard tells Ellis that he prefers to go alone to practice.

A little later, when she is in Getan’s company, Alice admits that she wants to help Gaspar to be kinder to his comrades and stop isolating himself. Gaitan advises him to go and talk.

Back at the institute, Alice meets Stanislas, with whom she is no longer angry. He explains to her that he wants to convince Gaspard to bring his little brother to the Institute Christmas. He thinks that his presence will have a beneficial effect on Gaspar’s behavior. Stanislas points out that Hortense got into Alice by interfering in other people’s lives.

Alice uses her friend’s example to give Gaspar her brother’s invitation card to the institute’s Christmas party and insists until she wins the case. Indeed, Gaspard allows himself to be persuaded.

Karla and Berenice’s separation had consequences

In Teyssiers, Penelope goes to see Berenice to support her after her separation from Carla, but the young girl is absolutely unbearable. Cautiously, Constance admits to Penelope that she can’t take it anymore.

Meanwhile, Carla is cooking with Suleiman in the studio. Coline joins them to get ingredients from the commissary. She’s surprised her cousin doesn’t make a harsh remark about her ugly Christmas sweater, which she purposely wore to get a reaction. Carla is definitely not in good shape. He also announces that he will not go to the institute’s Christmas party this year due to tensions between his adoptive parents and his biological family.

Back at the farm, Coline tells her mother that Carla isn’t in a good mood and that she won’t be going to the institute’s Christmas party. Angel admits that she won’t go either because she doesn’t want to spend this party with Rose. Angel and Coleen both prefer to stay in and want to invite Carla to lunch.

Later, Rose visits Constance to discuss Christmas. Berenice settles into the living room, still as unpleasant as ever. Then he learns that Carla won’t be going to the institute’s Christmas party. He says he won’t go either. Rose is thinking of doing the same. Constance is disappointed to be the only one gone, even though she doesn’t want to at all.
