Constance worries about Carla

At the Institute, Josephine calls Carla to warn her of the dangers of Petrovac. But the latter claims to be handling the situation perfectly, then suddenly sends him away. When her hand begins to tremble, Carla picks it up and walks towards Leroy. Mark asks to see the photos that Rose took the other day. He realizes that his SD card is gone. Jimmy immediately accuses Carla of stealing it, but she flatly denies it.

Meanwhile, Carla decides to go to work alone in the institute’s kitchen. But Jimmy follows him to find out where the SD card is. Carla continues to say that she knows nothing about it. Deeply annoyed, Jimmy throws his cooking into the sink.

Later, Carla finds Zoe in the park and catches her eating a chocolate chip cookie. Zoë admits that she no longer wants to take herself away. Carla, on the other hand, is determined to reach her weight goal.

Meanwhile, Josephine goes to the infirmary to question Konstancia about Petrovac. The latter confirms that this is an extremely dangerous product that can have irreversible effects, including stroke. Josephine tries to keep the person who is touching her a secret, but Constance eventually realizes that it is Carla.

So he goes straight to see him to warn him against Petrovak. He also explains that he suspects that he suffers from dysmorphophobia, or a distorted view of his body that becomes an obsession. Carla says it’s none of her business at all and that she just wants to lose a few pounds. At Constance’s insistence, he tells her that he has no lesson from a man who can kill his own father. Witnessing the scene, Jimmy reprimands Carla for her particularly violent and unfair comments, then supports Constance, who takes the hit.

In turn, Carla finds Josephine and accuses her of revealing everything to Constance. At the same time, all eyes turn to him. Indeed, a photo of Karla as a child with the mention of “Big Furian” was recently placed on the institute’s application. Carla suspects that Josephine posted. He leaves the place humiliated and in tears…

Penelope feels out of place

At the park, Matteo asks Penelope and Billy to come with him to the concert that evening. Penelope refuses because she already went out the day before. Mateo and Billy can’t get enough of her age and call her “Mommy Becker”.

During the installation at Double A, Penelope had a similar thought from Gary. This time, it’s the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Penelope replies that it’s not funny, then walks out into the fresh air. Ninon, a witness of the scene, joins him. Penelope admits to her that she often gets the impression that she does not stand up to other students because of her age. Ninon advises him to spend more time on social networks and even offers to teach him trendy dance.

In the end, Penelope realizes that it is not so bad for the new generation not to understand everything. Gary, in turn, comes to apologize to her for what she said to him earlier. He easily forgives her.

Lionel and Flor are speed dating

Flair confides in Lionel that he’s still reeling from the ruck he got from Wolfe. Lionel suggests that she find another lover. Later, overhearing Thelma and Choline talking about their lame dates the day before, Lionel gets the idea to set up a speed dating at the Institute through BDE.

He immediately talks to Fleur and Tom, who confirm his idea. However, Tom finds an excuse to avoid organizing everything. Fleur, on the other hand, is willing, provided that Lionel participates as well.

When informed of the situation, Clotilde wasted no time in demanding an explanation. Then Lionel and Fleur make him believe that this is not speed dating, but a speed kitchen, which will allow students from different classes to work on sweet and savory appetizers. Clotilda thinks the idea is good and allows them to use the workshop.
