Penelope Suffers a Heart Attack

At the Marsh House, Penelope has yet to hear from her sister since their argument the previous day. She fears meeting her in the afternoon with Gary for their cooking session as the exams approach. Gary, on his side, hasn’t heard from her either.

At the Institute, Penelope runs into Olivia and asks her to keep what she revealed the day before to herself, explaining she has never told anyone else before. Olivia agrees to keep the secret, but she suggests that Penelope should discuss it with Gaëtan.

Gaëtan joins the conversation at that moment. Penelope then takes the opportunity to confide in him that she has previously experienced a pregnancy but lost the baby. However, she asserts that she is ready to try IVF with him.

Following this, Penelope meets Gary at the Workshop. Ninon eventually joins them. With no desire to talk to them, she insists they focus on their work. The atmosphere is tense among the trio. When Penelope tastes a preparation made by her sister, she hesitates to tell her it’s a failure. However, Ninon senses it and reproaches her for always beating around the bush instead of being straightforward.

Ninon leaves the Workshop abruptly, while Penelope and Gary follow her trying to catch up. They desperately want to clear the air, but Ninon asks them to leave her alone. Suddenly, Penelope experiences a severe chest pain and collapses. Ninon suspects a heart attack. Gary calls for emergency services…

Malik Questions Himself

In the kitchen, Loup and Milan suggest Malik reclaim his position as head chef within their trio and follow his recipe card to the letter. After preparing it, Malik tastes it and is reluctant to admit his disappointment.

Later, Malik overhears a conversation between Ferdinand and Thelma. She wants to make changes to their nine-course sweet-savory menu concept, but the young man asserts his authority. Malik realizes he does not want to follow his lead. Instead, he aspires to be a chef who is both liked and respected.

In the park, Malik meets up with Loup and Milan. He acknowledges his mistakes and agrees to consider their suggestions. The two boys indeed wish to keep him as their chef, provided he focuses on teamwork.

Lionel Has a Crush on Fleur

Fleur and Lionel are planning a soccer tournament in the institute’s park for the weekend. Their planning is interrupted by Anaïs, who announces she will be filling in for Teyssier during his absence, and forbids them from organizing the tournament.

Fleur agrees to reschedule the tournament for another time and leaves to study with her trio for the exams. Once she’s gone, Lionel confesses to Enzo and Tom that he has a crush on her. However, he believes he stands no chance since she is in love with Loup.
