Teyssier Supports Ferdinand in His Examination
With concerns about Ferdinand’s potential failure in his exam for the Master program and the risk of him exposing her role in her father’s demise, Constance considers confessing to the police. Yet, Teyssier intervenes and persuades her to hold off for 24 hours, vowing to ensure Ferdinand’s success in his test to prevent her from taking such drastic action.
At the Institute, Constance expresses her apologies to Rose for dragging her into this dilemma and jeopardizing her relationship. Rose reveals that Marc was taken aback by Constance’s actions for her father. However, she insists that the priority should be Ferdinand’s upcoming test above all else.
Teyssier discusses his plan with Leroy. Realizing that Ferdinand is not adequately prepared and his concept lacks depth, Teyssier’s strategy is to convince Enzo to assess only his starter dish. He hopes to provide support during the tasting to help Ferdinand regain his confidence. However, he soon discovers that Enzo has requested both Rose and Clotilde to ensure fairness during the evaluation.
As everyone assembles in the kitchen, Teyssier adheres to his original approach and persuades his colleagues to evaluate only Ferdinand’s starter. Despite this, Enzo, Rose, and Clotilde choose to remain in the kitchen to observe Ferdinand’s process, adding pressure to Teyssier’s mission. Anticipating the challenge, Teyssier has prepped three sauces himself, cleverly concealed in the sauce warmer for Ferdinand to switch out at the last minute.
To everyone’s surprise, even after observing Ferdinand struggle during the preparation, Clotilde and Enzo are impressed by the taste of his dish. They all agree that the sauces are exceptional, and Ferdinand can’t resist boasting in front of Enzo.
Meanwhile, Bérénice visits her sister in the infirmary to question Teyssier’s decision to have Ferdinand tested for the Master program, knowing about their affair. Constance insists that Teyssier’s hand is forced by Ferdinand’s threat to expose their secret. Bérénice remains skeptical and believes her sister is not telling the whole truth.
Later, Enzo brings Lionel into the kitchen to share the news that Ferdinand has successfully passed his test, expressing surprise at how well he performed. However, while cleaning, Enzo tastes a leftover sauce and realizes it differs from what was sampled during the tasting. He suspects that Ferdinand swapped sauces, possibly prepared by Teyssier in advance. Without concrete proof, Enzo plans to expose Ferdinand’s incompetence to everyone…
Coline Struggles with Living Arrangements
At the farm, Coline enjoys breakfast while Alice tries to teach her about gluten-free flours, a topic currently being covered in class. Coline, however, struggles with the answers and chooses to retreat from the kitchen for some solitude.
During pastry class, Alice expresses gratitude to Coline for inspiring her quiz on gluten-free flours, realizing that her classmates are not well-versed in the subject. Coline worries that her peers will resent her for this.
When Coline returns home for lunch, Stanislas critiques her brie cutting, and Alice disapproves of her savory tart’s puff pastry recipe. Frustrated by their constant feedback, Coline lashes out, asserting her right to do as she pleases at home.
Stanislas and Alice apologize for their teacher-like behavior, and Coline also expresses regret for her outburst. Later, she seeks their assistance in practicing how to properly cut a quail.
Antoine Addresses the Bedbug Rumor
