Carla can’t think about anything but her diet.

Carla is at her wit’s end: she’s fed up with everything and admits she’s only lost one kilo in a week. Zoé tries to reason with her, reminding her that she doesn’t need to starve herself. But Carla, obsessed with her image, suggests Zoé try a dangerous appetite suppressant to reach their ideal weight. Zoé firmly refuses, fearing the consequences. Carla has received her package of appetite suppressants.

Meanwhile, Julia invites Billie to join her team. A wonderful opportunity that makes everyone jealous: Tom, annoyed, doesn’t hide his disappointment at not having been chosen.

Clotilde gives Bérénice a new offer: a five-day masterclass in Marseille to present a signature dessert. Bérénice hesitates, wondering if it’s really the right time. Josephine thinks it’s a shame to miss something as cool as the masterclass just because Carla has a nervous poop.

Rose is flattered to be part of the Leroys’ project.

Tom, meanwhile, discovers his genealogical test: he has only English blood. Disappointed, he describes himself as “flavorless roast beef.” But Milan tries to motivate him, suggesting he could be a lord!

Here It All Begins: October 14, 2025: Is Leonard still in love with Ismaël?

Tom has British origins.

Léonard confesses to Maya that he can’t seem to break away from Ismaël. Constantly seeing him with Bianca is driving him crazy.
A publisher suggests a project for a culinary collection about the Leroy family: each participant would highlight their own vision of cooking. Thibault would participate with Jim and Marc, and the publisher wants Rose to be part of it.

Carla then decides to apologize to Bérénice: “I started a diet, and seeing your dessert made me irritable.” Bérénice agrees to talk to her that evening at the shared apartment.

For Clotilde’s class, Léonard has to work with Bianca, and he’s disgusted.

Enzo is excited about Tom’s project.

Meanwhile, Carla learns from Jim that the Leroys are going to publish a cookbook… with Rose. The young woman feels excluded and takes this news very hard.
During a class, she has a violent argument with Marc over a recipe modification: she replaces clarified butter with vegetable oil. Marc ends the argument and punishes her by putting her on cleaning duty.

Bianca tells Léonard he’s too nice; he doesn’t dare tell people to go to hell. Bianca, still suspicious, confides in Léonard that she thinks something is going on between Zoé and Ismaël. She is determined to discover the truth about what really happened at Castemmont.

Tom, confident in himself, presents his “British” concept: recipes inspired by his English roots. Jasmine and Milan are worried that Enzo will slam him, but Enzo surprises them by validating his idea. He suggests a few adjustments and promises to put him in charge of the workshop if all goes well.

Léonard is still thinking about Ismael.

Tension explodes when Carla humiliates Joséphine in front of Bérénice: “The drug addict who defends her bottle-addicted mentor.” Bérénice, shocked, tells her, “I don’t recognize you anymore, Carla.”
Joséphine, distraught, realizes that Bérénice has betrayed her secret by revealing it to Carla. And to top it all off, Mattéo heard everything… The awkwardness is complete.
