She wants to offer new yakitori recipes the next day. Mehdi (Marvin Pellegrino) accepts enthusiastically, having become accustomed to saying yes to everything, but
he puts himself in a delicate situation. Not only does he have to present his Yule log to Teyssier (Benjamin Baroche) in the afternoon, but he also agreed to cook a tagine for Hortense (Catherine Davydzenka) and her mother for dinner. He will never be able to do everything!
Quentin (Tristan Bowles) advises Mehdi to cancel the dinner with his mother-in-law, but the young man persists. He tries to cook the yakitori, the log and the tagine at the same time, but he forgets steps and reverses certain ingredients. In the end,
he disappoints et Emi, et
Teyssier!
Gaspard gets caught at his own game
In the kitchen, It's time for the final exam for first year students. Teyssier gives them two hours to prepare a dish or dessert from a very limited number of ingredients. Very individualistic, Gaspard rushes to take the ingredients that interest him. The others, who find themselves working with leftovers, decide to help each other by sharing all their ingredients. In the end, it's Gaspard who finds himself lacking ingredients and no one agrees to help him.
At the time of the tasting, Teyssier and Listrac (Virginie Caliari) were very disappointed by Gaspard's pavlova. The young man points out that his classmates refused to give him gelatin, but his teachers did not allow themselves to be coaxed. They clearly saw that Gaspard had played it personally at the start of the event, so he reaped what he sowed.
Carla denounces herself to cover up Bérénice
On the advice of Leonard (Thomas Vilan), Souleymane (Dembo Camilo) expresses his doubts about Gaspard (Maxym Anciaux) to his father. He suspects him of having sabotaged his exam dishwhich earned him a mark of 3 out of 20. Antoine (Frédéric Diefenthal) believes his son's version, but he does not think that Teyssier (Benjamin Baroche) agrees to make him retake the exam. He would have to find proof of what Gaspard did…
To help Souleymane, Antoine will question Carla (Aaricia Lemaire) about sabotage. The young woman, who knows full well that Bérénice (Bérénice Tannenberg) is responsible, claims to know nothing… Not knowing how to save Souleymane's year without throwing Bérénice under the bus,
Carla goes to see Teyssier in his office and denounces herself for sabotaging Souleymane's dish. She claims to have put baking soda in her sauce as revenge for an alleged argument that occurred just before the exam. A little doubtful, Teyssier dismisses Carla.
Teyssier puts Carla, Bérénice and Souleymane up against the wall
A little later, Bérénice goes to see Carla. She learned from Constance (Sabine Perraud) that her ex-girlfriend had denounced herself to Teyssier, and she would like to understand. Carla explains that she wanted to save Souleymane's year without having to denounce Bérénice. She knows she is risking a lot, but she is ready to pay the consequences. She's tired of being selfish.
For her part, Rose (Vanessa Demouy) informs Angèle (Ginnie Watson) and Coline (Talina Boyaci) of what Carla said to Teyssier. Coline finds it odd that Carla sabotaged Souleymane's dish, since she seemed to get along very well with him during the exam. Besides, Bérénice didn't like it at all. Insightful, Rose and Angèle understand that it was Bérénice who sabotaged Souleymane's dish, and that Carla is trying to cover up for her out of guilt.
At the same time, Bérénice goes to see Teyssier and denounces herself for the sabotage of the Souleymane flat. Annoyed, the director summons the young man, as well as Carla. He declares that he has had more than enough of their romance and asks them to come to the kitchen the next morning at eight o'clock. They will have to pass a test together, otherwise they will get a zero and be expelled from the Institute.
