Spoilers Alert! What to Expect in Nouveau Jour Episode 21, July 28, 2025

Killian Comes Between Théa and Marin

Théa and Marin plan a romantic picnic to spend some quality time together. However, their plans are disrupted when Killian shows up uninvited and starts helping himself to their food. Théa feels uncomfortable, while Marin appears to be jealous.

Later, in the locker room, Théa encounters the gardener who teases her about her relationship with Marin, suggesting they seem more like old buddies than lovers. He flirts with her, but she quickly shuts him down.

Louise Seeks Forgiveness from Aurèle and Gabriel

Louise checks in on Aurèle through Tarek, as both men work at the gym. The physical therapist advises Louise to apologize and explain herself to her husband if she hopes to mend their relationship.

She follows his advice and apologizes for wrongly suspecting him of being the whistleblower. Without going into details, she mentions being haunted by her painful past with her ex-husband, Clément. Aurèle’s indifferent response to her past hurts Louise.

As for Gabriel, he still resents her for her lies, but now that he knows Clément is not his biological father, he feels no connection to him and considers him dead to him. All he has left is his mother, whom he forgives.

Divisions Form Around Kim and Souad

Souad is shocked that Kim accuses her of pushing her. Her father Tarek and Louise reassure her and pledge their support. However, her aunt warns her that she needs to continue working amicably with Kim, as she has no intention of firing her.

At the Peña Loca, Souad shares her anxiety about returning to work at the hotel with Roméo. He offers to help her at the summer bar. Sofia, visiting her son, fails to understand his stance: how can he be friends with someone who tried to kill his sister? Roméo shares his theory that Kim attempted suicide but is not admitting it.

Sofia visits Audrey, who provided Souad with an alibi to the police. The nurse insists she only told the truth: she was treating Souad’s injury at the hotel at the same time. Sofia wonders if she is trying to protect her niece, but Audrey corrects her: she has cut ties with both Tarek and Louise, and she barely knows Souad.

Showdown by the Pool

Kim can’t bear the sight of Souad at the hotel. Gabriel steps in, explaining that without proof, there’s no reason to fire Souad. However, by the end of the day, Kim has had enough: she demands that Souad leave. She accuses Souad of taking over her deceased father’s bar, her brother, and Robbie, calling her crazy and manipulative.

As Souad prepares to leave, Kim tells her to follow her mother’s example—that is, to disappear and never come back. Overwhelmed, Souad pushes Kim into the pool.
