Carla Uncovers Shocking Family Secrets
In the bustling kitchen, Bérénice confronts Carla, who is still fuming over recent events. Concerned about Angèle’s influence, Bérénice emphasizes that Carla should remain cautious. Despite Carla’s claims of being able to compartmentalize her feelings, Bérénice’s insistence raises suspicions in Carla’s mind. To further complicate matters, Bérénice chooses to disclose the existence of Rose’s notebook and its revelations.
Meanwhile, Olivia proposes a unique culinary challenge titled ‘From Farm to Table,’ encouraging students to create dishes using ingredients sourced from Angèle’s farm. Eager to include Angèle on the judging panel, Olivia’s idea receives praise from the Institute’s director, while Leroy struggles to find valid objections.
In a separate encounter, Bérénice alerts Rose at the Economat about her confession to Carla. She reassures Rose that Carla’s anger is primarily directed at Angèle, showing empathy for her mother’s past struggles. However, panic sets in for Rose upon learning that Carla is now at Angèle’s place.
At Angèle’s, Carla confronts her, forbidding any contact with her or Rose, claiming knowledge of the notebook. Angèle counters by stating that the notebook contains crucial information beyond Rose’s past decision. Despite Coline’s attempts to intervene, Angèle hands the notebook to Carla.
In the park, Bérénice and Souleymane finally locate Carla, who is secluded, engrossed in reading passages from Rose’s notebook. A particular line catches her attention: ‘I don’t even know if it’s Raphael’s child.’ Although Bérénice and Souleymane urge caution, Carla is convinced that her mother has deceived her about her true father. Overwhelmed by emotions, she finds solace in Bérénice’s embrace.
Meanwhile, Rose arrives at Angèle’s, only to discover that Carla has taken the notebook. Angèle accuses her sister-in-law of perpetually playing the victim and insists that Carla deserves to learn the truth about her father’s identity.
Back at the Institute, Rose frantically searches for Carla. Clotilde notices Rose’s distress and inquires about it, but it’s Carla who ultimately confronts her mother. She returns the notebook and demands to know the identity of her biological father. Rose reluctantly reveals that it could be Antoine…
Enzo Initiates a Fun Sound Challenge
At the CDI, Anaïs engages in a game recommended by her doctor to help her adapt to her hearing aids. While Enzo and Vic attempt to encourage her, Anaïs struggles to see the relevance of this exercise, which involves identifying sounds that aren’t familiar to her kitchen environment.
Later, Enzo discusses Anaïs’ situation with Mattéo and Jude, seeking ways to assist her. Mattéo recalls how his grandmother could identify her favorite songs even after losing her hearing, sparking an idea in Enzo.
Enzo decides to infiltrate the Double A service to record a variety of kitchen sounds with his phone.
At the marshes’ apartment, Enzo organizes an engaging game with Anaïs, Gaëtan, and Vic, where they must guess the sounds he has recorded and jot down their answers on a slate. This fun activity boosts Anaïs’s motivation significantly.
Léonard Becomes a Guiding Light
Léonard visits the Workshop to speak with Quentin about the previous day’s events. He emphasizes the significance of Christmas for Maya and how her brother’s refusal to decorate the tree made her feel neglected. Quentin expresses guilt for not recognizing Maya’s feelings, admitting his desire to reconnect but feeling unsure of how to approach it.
Taking the initiative, Léonard arranges for Quentin and Maya to meet at the Workshop for an open conversation. Quentin suggests they spend the afternoon baking a traditional Japanese Christmas cake together, and Maya eagerly agrees.
As they cook, Quentin shares nostalgic memories from their childhood, particularly Maya’s struggles learning to ride a bike. Maya confides that she still hasn’t mastered it, prompting Quentin to offer his help, scheduling a lesson for the next day.
Léonard confides in Malik about his mixed emotions regarding Maya’s time with her brother. He feels both joy and sadness, knowing that she is truly his only family.
