Hector Issues an Ultimatum to Jim and Milan

At the Institute, Jim and Milan are initially thrilled about being selected for the championship brigade. However, their excitement wanes when Louis and Jasmine reveal the underlying motive: to destabilize Jasmine herself.

In the kitchen, Jim and Milan confront Teyssier, who confirms that their selection was influenced by their connection to Jasmine. Feeling they deserve to earn their place based on merit, the duo decides to resign from their positions.

Witnessing the unfolding drama, Hector shares the details with Clotilde and Anouk, who advise him to take control of the brigade rather than allow Teyssier to dictate.

Meanwhile, Jasmine learns from Tom that Bianca orchestrated the brigade's formation, leaving her shocked yet relieved that Jim and Milan have stepped down.

At the boarding school, Bianca confesses to Léonard and Ismaël that her actions were selfish and that she regrets her decision.

Later, Hector overhears a conversation between Milan and Anaïs, where Anaïs reassures Milan about his abilities to be part of the championship brigade. Determined to resolve the situation, Hector arranges a meeting with Bianca, Jim, and Milan in the kitchen later that day.

The trio meets Chef Jourdain, who has recreated the dishes they prepared for their selections. He encourages them to judge their own talents, affirming that they all deserve a place in the brigade. However, Jim and Milan remain uncertain about working harmoniously with Bianca. Hector informs them that they must decide: if they refuse to join the brigade, he will withdraw, and the Institute will not participate in the championship this year...

Alice and Gaëtan Take a Step Back

After spending the night together, Alice and Gaëtan seek a purely platonic activity and opt for a workout in the park with Coline. However, they soon realize that their plan is flawed, as they continue to behave like a couple.

Consequently, they choose to end their relationship definitively, leaving Alice feeling very sad. Angèle and Stanislas are there to support her through this difficult time.

Fleur Struggles to Move On from Lionel

Joséphine and Malik express their happiness for Fleur, who has developed a fondness for Robin. They insist on meeting him to give their approval. Fleur invites them to join her at the Coffee Shop, where she plans to meet Robin for a drink.

Later, while on her way, Fleur accidentally bumps into Lionel, spilling all her preparations. In a moment of camaraderie, she agrees to help him redo everything at the pop-up restaurant. However, when Lionel learns that she had planned to go out with her new boyfriend and his friends, he releases her, claiming to be happy for her.

Fleur arrives late at the Coffee Shop, where Robin goes to fetch drinks. While waiting, she chats with Joséphine and Malik, who believe Robin is a perfect match for her, even suggesting he might be her soulmate. Despite their enthusiasm, Fleur remains less convinced than they are.
