Thelma Makes a Bold Sacrifice
At the Institute, Teyssier confronts Olivia about the wave of negative feedback from Click & Collect customers. Defending the First Year students, the chef insists they poured their hearts into the project and need more time to refine their approach. However, Teyssier stubbornly decides to shut it down.
He tells Thelma, Mattéo, and Zoé that Click & Collect will be closing its doors. The trio expresses their concern over how to repay their debt to him. Teyssier coldly informs them that the amount they owe will be deducted from their exam grades.
Meanwhile, Gary crunches the numbers and realizes that Click & Collect’s earnings won’t cover their debt, putting all the First Year students at risk of failing their exams or even facing expulsion.
Frustrated, Zoé points out that she has no backup plan if things go south. Thelma, however, remains hopeful and brainstorms alternative ways to settle the debt. Mattéo suggests she reach out to her father or even use her own savings, which offends Thelma.
Later, Thelma visits Teyssier’s office and presents him with a check that fully clears their debt, claiming the funds came from Click & Collect’s revenue. Teyssier is skeptical and assumes she used her father’s money, but ultimately, he is satisfied with the settled account.
In the park, Gary and Coline notice Zoé’s lingering anger towards Thelma. Zoé confesses her frustration with Thelma’s apparent oblivion to their varying financial situations. Coline counters that Thelma doesn’t look down on them, suggesting she would act similarly if she had the same resources.
As Olivia crosses paths with her partner, she discovers that Thelma has managed to repay Teyssier. Knowing that Click & Collect’s income wasn’t sufficient, she fears Thelma may have resorted to personal funds.
In her room, Thelma hastily prepares to sell her belongings. Just then, she receives a call that leaves her in tears, admitting to the caller that she has found herself in a significant financial predicament and urgently needs help…
Lionel Discovers His True Feelings for Emi
Lionel confides in Billie and Jude that Mehdi suspects him of having a crush on Emi. As he continues to deny it, he realizes that Billie and Jude seem to share Mehdi’s perspective.
While working at the Workshop, Lionel meets Emi, who challenges him to critique her dish. She questions his sudden lack of feedback and inquires about his last-minute cancellation of their planned outing. Lionel brushes it off, claiming he was simply tired.
During the service, Emi reveals that Mehdi has spoken to her as well, acknowledging their friendship is more than professional. She expresses gratitude for Lionel’s support, appreciating their bond.
After the shift, Mehdi finds Lionel outside and thanks him for his professionalism with Emi. Lionel admits he feels conflicted, as Mehdi has forced him to confront his feelings for her, leaving him unsure of how to act around her now.
Carla’s Quest for Academic Excellence
In Teyssier’s class, Bérénice shares with Carla and Souleymane that she overheard their teacher discussing the upcoming competition for the top cooking school in France, set to take place at Castelmont. Teyssier announces that the best students from each class will be selected to represent the Auguste Armand Institute, igniting a competitive fire between Carla and Souleymane.
Aiming to boost her chances, Carla approaches Clotilde for extra training, but the chef declines, prioritizing her personal life instead. Undeterred, Carla turns to Anaïs, who also refuses but suggests she reach out to Enzo for assistance.
