Joséphine and Bérénice are very disappointed in Carla.

Joséphine confides in Bérénice that she feels like a freak when she arrives at the institute. Everyone now knows she’s an addict.

Carla apologizes to Joséphine for revealing her secret… but she doesn’t put much heart into it. Bérénice, deeply disappointed, tells her that she disappoints her more and more every day.

Claire is stressed about the new recipe during a tasting (at Résonance?): she’s afraid it’s too ambitious. She then receives a text from Alexis, her second-in-command, who tells her he’s sick. Olivia decides to take time off and find a way to replace her in her first-year classes.

Olivia asks Jasmine to replace her, despite her doubts about her abilities. But Olivia is 100% sure of herself. Lionel, for his part, feels a pang of jealousy: why didn’t he offer him the job?

Léonard confides in Zoé that Ismaël did indeed cheat on Bianca. He even reveals that they kissed. Since then, Ismaël has completely ignored him, as if nothing had happened.

Constance understands that Bérénice needs to take a step back.

Bérénice, exhausted, decides to go to Marseille for her masterclass. She confides in Constance that she’s fed up with Carla’s behavior. Can she really put up with her ego attacks for a lifetime? She also admits to Constance that Carla is on a strict diet, which is making her even more on edge right now.

Carla, for her part, is hurt by Bérénice’s message telling her she needs space and is leaving for a week. Angry and confused, Carla shows Zoé that she has bought Petrovac. Zoé warns her: this product is dangerous. Carla doesn’t understand why she did this… especially since she hates injections.

Rose shocked to learn what Carla has done

Here it all begins: October 14, 2025: Ismaël shocks and disappoints Léonard

Léonard tries to ease the tension: he suggests that Ismaël calm things down between Bianca and Zoé and tell the truth. But Ismaël retorts that what happened between them was of no importance. Suddenly, the wine cellar door closes, trapping them inside.

Ismaël finally admits that he didn’t dare push Léonard away. Translation: the kiss was just politeness, as Léonard says.
Ismaël insists that he’s “normal.” Léonard explodes: “You’re such a coward that you’re becoming homophobic.” Ishmael’s response is atrocious: “I was disgusted by kissing you.”

Ismaël doesn’t accept being gay or bisexual

Carla confides in Rose: “I don’t feel like I belong anywhere.” Rose explains that she didn’t want to upset her parents about the name Armand: the tone had become heated on the phone. Carla then says, “I thought you were the one who didn’t accept me.”

Finally, Rose suggests that Carla join the Leroys for the book: she belongs there. Carla is deeply touched.

Meanwhile, Jasmine struggles with her first-year class, despite the technical sheet sent by Olivia. Nothing is going right, the students are struggling… Jasmine hasn’t mastered the recipe; she hasn’t had time to test it.

Marc is very disappointed in Carla, he backs out.

But things are going badly at the Leroys’: Marc learns from Joséphine what Carla did regarding her addiction. Angrily, he tells her that he finds her behavior “disgusting” and refuses to associate his name with hers for the book, even though he’s so sensitive about this subject. Rose is shocked.

Maya confesses to Léonard that she removed the wedge from the cellar to force him to talk to Ismaël. She thought it would end with a big hug, but everything escalated. Léonard is shattered by Ismaël’s words.

And in a moment of absolute distress, Carla has a binge: she gobbles up pasta, immediately feels disgusted with herself… then goes through with it and injects herself with the appetite suppressant shot.

Carla takes the step of injecting the appetite suppressant
