New Day Ahead: July 2, 2025 Episode 3 Spoilers – Find Out What Happens!

Louise Suspects Théa

Théa is puzzled as to why Louise isn’t talking about the countdown and the fact that someone is targeting the estate. She discusses this with Romane and Marin, who downplay the situation and advise her to mind her own business. They encounter Louise and Gabriel. The director asks her son if Théa could have accessed his computer while cleaning his apartment. Given her arrival coincided with the fire, she instructs Gabriel to keep an eye on her.

At the reception, Jade’s reading is interrupted by Emilia, who wants to extend her stay at the hotel. Joey is persistent about room number 5, which is still occupied by Robbie. She is shocked that her suite was given to another guest.

Magalie begins her rehabilitation with Tarek. She emotionally shares how the fire traumatized her. She also feels guilty about not being able to return to work, feeling like she’s letting her colleagues down.

Jade Strives to Please an Unhappy Guest

Jade heads to suite number 5 just as one of Robbie’s flings leaves the room. She pretends that due to a technical issue, the air conditioning needs to be redone and the hotel is offering Robbie suite number 3. However, the guest realizes it’s a tactic to free up his suite for Joey, who has been pestering him even in the hallways. Robbie not only refuses to leave his suite but is determined to keep it until the end of summer.

In the kitchen, Jade confides in Étienne, the dining room manager, and Loup, the head chef. The couple advises her to be firm with Joey and set boundaries. Meanwhile, suite number 10 becomes available due to a cancellation. This is good news for Jade, who plans to recreate the look of suite number 4 by changing the furniture and decor.

Camille and Pablo discuss on the beach the TikTok that the young woman made to promote her father’s salon, but the video’s views are not taking off. The first comment posted is “sexy daddy, love it”. While Camille is disgusted by this message, Pablo sees it as a way to boost the account.

Jade shows suite number 10 to Joey, who is not at all impressed and criticizes every detail.

A New Threat Emerges

Aurèle surprises Louise with the help of Étienne. Since they can’t go on a honeymoon, Aurèle decides to organize a dinner for two with flavors that remind them of Bali. However, the director’s happiness is short-lived: upon unfolding her napkin, she finds a message in red letters with a smiley, summoning her to room number 1 immediately. She apologizes to her husband and leaves.

Erwan sees the first comment on his TikTok profile. He is flattered, before realizing it’s Audrey, his wife, behind the nickname “belleinconnue34”. She was saddened to see that no one else was reacting to his video. More comments, this time from real users, have since been posted, and it’s clear that the charm of the hairdresser is indeed working.

Louise receives a call from Commissioner Maurier, who officially rules out any criminal leads. She goes to room 1 and finds Théa cleaning. The young woman hands Louise a cryptic message she found on the bed: “you thought you were the queen, but here is the shepherd’s reply to the shepherdess”. The director is convinced Théa is behind everything and asks her to leave the hotel.

Checkmate

But a timer goes off in the room: they have five minutes to decipher the puzzle. Louise notices a painting that doesn’t belong in the room, depicting a duo playing chess. It turns out that ‘the shepherd’ is the name of a move in this strategic game. Both women rush to the garden where there is a giant chess set.

As they turn over the pieces, they find a phone. Just as the timer sounds, the screen displays a red smiley and an arrow indicating that a message has been sent from the phone. Both Louise’s and Théa’s phones receive a notification at the same moment. Kim, nearby, lets out a scream upon seeing the content of the message.
