Bérénice prepares everything for the big day with the help of Constance and Joséphine.

Gaspard can’t believe he was so naive: he confides in Maya and Coline that he has to clean up Éléonore’s mess. Gaspard wants to get the cash back first and then take care of Malo’s schooling.

Jim suggests to Marc and Rose that they make a video for the institute using the recipe they prepared the day before. Rose is up for it, especially since it’s been a while since she’s posted anything.

Enzo announces to the master’s students that a selection of projects will take place tomorrow to take charge of the master’s restaurant. Tom and Julia are going to face off. Julia can’t believe Tom’s oversized ego, and tension is already rising between them.

Éléonore wants to talk to Gaspard: she admits she made mistakes and should never have involved Malo. She asks for his help to make amends, but Gaspard, furious, orders her to leave. Malo witnesses their argument and has a violent breakdown at the farm before running away. Panicked, Gaspard goes looking for her.

Malik discovers Malo’s wanted poster

Clotilde and Alice have searched the students’ rooms without finding anything. Marc is convinced that Éléonore has been manipulating them from the start: he reveals to Clotilde the existence of her fake CV and is convinced that she is the culprit.

Meanwhile, Carla feels bad about herself: she looks at her (non) rolls in the mirror, convinced she’s put on weight. She confides her discomfort to Bérénice, but Bérénice tries to reassure her, explaining that she’s just obsessing over things.

Gaspard posts a wanted poster for Malo on the institute’s group. Malik finally finds Malo, who is talking alone to the flowers.
Malo asks Malik not to tell Gaspard that he’s found him. Malik says it’s not cool for his brother… Malo tells him he doesn’t care because he doesn’t like Gaspard anyway (given the argument at the Festival). Malik admits he doesn’t like Gaspard but he tells him that his brother cares about him a lot. Malik is impeccable, he has the right attitude.

Carla has a problem with her body.

Here it all begins. October 10, 2025: Will Éléonore still make it?

Maya reassures Gaspard: the entire institute has mobilized to find Malo. Zoé leaves by car to tour Calvières while Malik finally brings Malo back to Gaspard. The relief is immense…

Éléonore decides to tell everything to Chief Armand. Before leaving, she asks Gaspard to take care of Malo. Malo doesn’t want his mother to be arrested.

Constance finds Bérénice’s wedding ring, an antique piece of jewelry belonging to her grandmother. Bérénice prepares a small picnic to propose.

Tom begins to fear competition from Julia.

Carla is on the verge of tears: she comes across a cooking video of Rose, Jim, and Marc. Seeing this “perfect family” without her is overwhelming. Anaïs tries to take her mind off things and suggests a meditation session. Once alone at the shared apartment, Carla breaks down and eats cake after cake to ease her anxiety.

Malo doesn’t want Eléonore arrested.

Finally, Eléonore goes to Marc and Clotilde’s office, ready to finally tell the truth. But Gaspard arrives and denounces himself in her place: he pours out the bills from the stolen cash register right in front of them. Clotilde and Marc are shocked. Eléonore remains frozen, distraught. Gaspard sacrifices himself to protect Malo, because the latter told him he couldn’t live without his mother…
