In the first episode of season 36 of Les  Mystères de l’amour  , broadcast on Sunday, January 26, 2025, on TMC, Bénédicte confides in Hélène ( Hélène Rollès ) over breakfast. She explains that she and Jimmy aren’t having money problems, but the water sports business isn’t bringing in enough money right now. They have to pay back the renovation costs. Hélène offers to help if she wants; Bénédicte thanks her but declines the offer.

Later, Jimmy ( Tom Schacht ) has a date with Sophie, his ex who is still in love with him. He hasn’t told Bénédicte about this date. They compliment each other. When talking about Christian ( Sébastien Roch ) and Fanny ( Elsa Esnoult ), Sophie seems to be referring to herself and Jimmy. She explains that Fanny was unsettled by Adrian, the zoologist.

Sophie and Jimmy: an impossible love story in Les mystères de l’amour?

Sophie ( Charlène François ) then talks about her life. She explains that she lives in the provinces and manages a fast-food restaurant. But she admits that she misses the Parisian atmosphere. She confesses that she misses the people in the water sports world. Jimmy tells her she’s welcome. Later in the conversation, Jimmy mentions that Victor ( Benoît Dubois ) and Aurélie ( Angèle Vivier ) are getting married.

Sophie finally relayed what Olga had said. Olga hadn’t gotten over her breakup with Jimmy for Bénédicte. So, she decided to get revenge by telling Sophie that Jimmy was still in love with her. Sophie eventually confessed to Jimmy that she couldn’t forget him. Jimmy admitted that he thought about her from time to time, but he didn’t want to ruin everything with Bénédicte. Sophie was understanding.

Later, at the water sports center, Olga ( Macha Polikarpova ) chats with Bénédicte, completely unaware of her friend’s Machiavellian plan. During their conversation, she explains that she adores Sylvain and Jimmy. Bénédicte ( Laure Guibert ) reminds everyone that she and Jimmy are no longer together. Olga, still in denial, admits that she hurt Jimmy and thanks Bénédicte for taking care of him. Olga believes Jimmy will come back to her, as she considers him the love of her life.

Bénédicte finally tells her the truth, revealing that she and Jimmy are indeed in a relationship. Olga thinks he’s finding solace with Bénédicte. Bénédicte then announces that she and Jimmy are going to marry her. Olga doesn’t believe it, but Bénédicte explains that she’s no longer his great love. She says she’s relieved to have told him. It takes Olga a while to grasp that she’s no longer Jimmy’s great love. Then, she collapses to the floor! But it’s not a tragic end for Olga; she simply fainted.

The mysteries of love  can be seen every Sunday from 8 p.m. on TMC.
