Are Carla and Berenice’s marriage safe?

At the hospital, Berenia meets with Carla and Rose to get the doctor’s opinion. The latter confirmed that Carla was cured and that she would have no after-effects. He must obviously continue his treatment and never touch Petrovac again. Carla apologizes to her mother and her boyfriend for everything they’ve been through lately. Now he’s about to make a culinary comeback.

Therefore, at the institute, Karla resumes classes as usual. Jimmy takes the opportunity to apologize to her for posting a photo of her as a teenager. Carla forgives him. While Berenice joins them, Chef Leroy explains the course content to the students. Berenice wants to know Carla’s opinion on one of her preparations, but she pretends to taste it.

Later, Carla is surprised by Rose when she looks in the mirror. He admits to his mother that he still does not like what he sees. He also believes that he is a bad person, especially when he thinks about the stupid things he said to his cousin. Rose takes the time to calm him down and put things into perspective.

In turn, Berenia admits to her sister that she does not want to rush things with her marriage to Carla. He prefers to wait until his girlfriend has truly recovered from all that she has been through before bringing the matter up again.

At the end of the day, Carla’s biological family and adoptive parents gather at Leroy’s house to celebrate her recovery. Jim gives him a card signed by all his classmates wishing him a safe return to the Institute. Carla is deeply troubled.

After a while, he came across the boxes of Petrovaki that were left in his bag. Carla throws them in the trash. He then joins Anne and Rose and proves with them that he is not perfect. He confides in them that he has to propose to Bernice the next day and that they have to arrange everything…

Flair surprises three naked guys

At the Comptoir de Jude, Matteo is desperate because he dropped his cell phone in the toilet and it won’t turn on. Jude believes that the day is over and he will have to buy another one. But Mateo explains that he can’t afford it. It is already overloaded. She refuses to lend money to her boyfriend. Next, Judy will suggest another income idea.

Matteo then tells Lionel and Gary what Jude offered him: to be a nude model for art classes. But Mateo admits that he is too modest to do such a thing. Lionel takes her and Gary home to make her feel more comfortable. Two boys decide to strip with her. Just as they are all stripping, Flor suddenly enters the dressing room and surprises them.

At the Comptoir, Fleur tells Jude what happened with great amusement. Mateo, on the other hand, is still as uncomfortable. She plans to find a student job where she won’t be naked. Lionel, on the other hand, is interested in playing models.

Ishmael is under pressure

At the seminar, several couples will be presented to participate in the pre-selection of the application hotel brigade. Among them are Zoe and Leonard, as well as Bianca and Ishmael. Chef Armand explains to them that the pre-selection takes place in two stages. The first test involves choosing a breakfast recipe and cooking it in three hours.

During the trial, Ishmael is troubled. He makes a few mistakes. Zoe takes him aside and admits that things aren’t easy for Leonard either. Ishmael replies that his behavior has nothing to do with it. When he returns to his work surface, he is subjected to remarks from Bianca, who is still jealous of his closeness to Zoe. Ishmael carelessly burns his hand on the pan. Chef Armand insists that he go to the infirmary.

At the scene, Constance notices that he has a superficial burn and bandages it up. He also asks her about going back to school. Ishmael explains that his grandfather died in the summer and he decided to come to the institute to be closer to his family. Indeed, the young man tries to help them as much as possible, because family affairs are at the lowest level. Constance sympathizes. As soon as he heals, Ishmael returns to his ordeal.

At the end of the test, Clotilde chooses the finalists: Bianca and Ishmael, as well as Leonard and Zoe. She states that the second test involves cooking a full gourmet breakfast. Bianca suggests to Ishmael that they go to a romantic restaurant to celebrate the victory. The young man refuses and explains that he needs his parents’ help. He prefers meeting his girlfriend the next day to work. Bianca is upset that he is pushing her aside. Ishmael raises his voice and accuses him of being selfish. Zoe and Leonard, who witness the incident, feel uncomfortable.
