Constance Confides in Bérénice
At the shared apartment by the marshes, Carla reveals to Bérénice that she witnessed Constance and Ferdinand together in the greenhouse the previous day. She notes how comfortable they appeared with each other, suggesting a deeper connection.
Determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Bérénice confronts Constance at the Institute. Constance becomes defensive, vehemently denying any inappropriate relationship with Ferdinand.
Meanwhile, Jasmine encounters Ferdinand at the culinary studio. He expresses his surprise about needing to reserve the room and uses the opportunity to seek her feedback on his recipe concept: a sauce bar. Jasmine quickly identifies that one of his sauces is overly sweet. Ferdinand feigns forgetfulness regarding the ingredient he needed to balance it and expresses gratitude for Jasmine’s input.
Later on, Carla overhears Jasmine and Tom criticizing Ferdinand. However, she defends her mother’s decision to include him in the Master, believing in his talent. Jasmine, on her part, points out that Ferdinand lacked the solution to his recipe, which she deems basic.
After classes, Carla visits her girlfriend and shares her observation of Constance’s defensiveness regarding Ferdinand. She speculates that Ferdinand might be Constance’s secret lover, with Rose complicit in keeping it under wraps.
While they talk, the girls stumble upon a message on Constance’s tablet that reads: ‘I cherish our intimate moments together. Looking forward to seeing you soon.‘, signed ‘F’. When Constance returns, Carla allows Bérénice to speak with her. Bérénice tries to probe for answers, but Constance retaliates angrily.
Later, Constance meets Bérénice at their apartment to apologize for her outburst. Bérénice urges her sister to open up, assuring her that she won’t share anything with anyone, including Carla.
Constance finally reveals that she had a brief encounter with Ferdinand during Teyssier’s absence due to his project with Bleupré. She hasn’t heard from Ferdinand since then until last week when he threatened to expose their liaison unless he was included in the Master program. At that moment, Rose stepped in to assist Constance. Unbeknownst to them, Emi is eavesdropping on their conversation as Constance expresses her fears that Emmanuel might leave her if he learns the truth…
Sabri and Thelma’s Night Together
Upon arriving at the Institute, Sabri deliberately avoids Thelma, still embarrassed by the events of the previous night. He confides in Mattéo about almost kissing her while she was pretending to flirt. Mattéo encourages him to be honest with her about his feelings.
Feeling shy about speaking directly, Sabri opts to write a heartfelt letter to Thelma, which he delivers to her in person. She reads it aloud, visibly moved by his sentiments. Sabri makes it clear that he doesn’t expect anything in return, understanding that his feelings may not be mutual. Thelma then admits that her earlier flirtation wasn’t entirely fabricated and kisses him.
Following this, Sabri and Thelma retreat to a room together. Afterward, Thelma insists on keeping their encounter private to prevent any rumors from swirling. When Mattéo inquires, Sabri pretends that nothing significant occurred after Thelma read his letter.
Solal and Zoé Find Common Ground
Solal surprises Zoé with flowers, hoping to apologize for his previous behavior. He suggests a trip to Venice since she is free in two weeks. However, Zoé declines, explaining that she cannot afford such a getaway. Solal insists he would cover the costs, but this makes Zoé uncomfortable, leading her to firmly refuse.
During class, Zoé confides in Gary and Coline, who completely understands her reluctance to accept financial support from her boyfriend.
At the end of the day, while closing the café where she works, Zoé invites Solal for a drink. She takes this opportunity to share her perspective, explaining that she values their time together regardless of the location. Zoé then proposes a road trip through the Cévennes using Lionel’s car as an alternative.
