At the Auguste Armand Institute, things are going wrong. After recent events that have disrupted the daily lives of students and teachers, a new twist is brewing, and this time, it’s Anaïs and Billie who will bear the brunt. The episode on Wednesday, October 23rd, promises to be full of emotions, revelations, and decisions with far-reaching consequences. Between secrets, jealousies, and growing tensions, masks are gradually falling, and alliances are faltering.

For several days, Anaïs has felt that something is wrong around her. In the kitchen, the atmosphere is electric, the looks are heavy with innuendo, and certain confidences exchanged behind the scenes seem to point to a secret being kept from her. True to her curious but always caring nature, the young chef tries to understand what is going on. It is in the company of Billie that she will stumble upon something that will change everything. An unexpected discovery, which will leave them both speechless.

It all begins when Anaïs notices a strange tension between two first-year students. At first subtle, this awkwardness becomes palpable when one of them hurriedly leaves the kitchen after a harmless remark. Billie, for her part, blames it on the stress of upcoming exams. But Anaïs, always perceptive, perceives another truth. Determined to find out more, the two young women embark on a small, unofficial investigation, far from imagining the magnitude of what they are about to discover.

Meanwhile, Teyssier, always on the alert, also seems to suspect that a secret is circulating within the Institute. His presence is becoming increasingly pressing, and he multiplies surprise tests, hoping to catch those responsible for a recent culinary incident that jeopardized the service of a great guest chef. Meanwhile, Carla, still fragile after recent events, confides in Bérénice, but her words suggest that she holds crucial information.

Meanwhile, Anaïs goes to Rose’s office to retrieve a file, and stumbles upon a phone conversation she wasn’t supposed to hear. The director’s serious tone chills her. She realizes that a much bigger problem than expected is threatening the Institute’s reputation. She meets Billie to talk to her about it, and the two decide to investigate a lead: a mysterious video is circulating among the students, seriously compromising one of them…

They stumble upon the file in question in an empty room. When they launch it, they’re in for a total shock. The images they discover are beyond anything they could have imagined. Billie, usually so calm, is left speechless, while Anaïs feels anger and sadness wash over her. What they see challenges the trust they had in someone very close to them. A familiar face appears on the screen, embroiled in a compromising situation, to say the least.

As shock overwhelms them, they realize the video may already have been leaked. If it were to be widely disseminated, the entire Institute would be tarnished by the scandal. Anaïs, torn between her moral compass and her loyalty, hesitates over what to do next. Billie, on the other hand, wants to protect the person concerned, even if it means breaking the rules. The dilemma sets in, and their friendship will be put to the test.

Meanwhile, Lisandro notices Anaïs’s distress. Worried, he tries to talk to her, but she remains evasive, afraid of saying too much. The head teacher, however, understands that something serious is brewing. Tensions are rising at the Institute, and rumors are rife. Some students are already talking about betrayal, others speak of a well-orchestrated revenge. Teyssier, sensing scandal, summons several students, determined to uncover the truth.

In the kitchen, lunch service descends into chaos. Anaïs’s team struggles to concentrate, disturbed by what they’ve just learned. Billie tries to keep up appearances, but her expression betrays her confusion. That’s when Teyssier enters the scene and, in a sharp tone, orders everyone to stop. He’s obtained the famous video, and he intends to confront the culprits in front of everyone.

Tensions are running high. Anaïs and Billie exchange a knowing but worried look. Should they talk before everything collapses? Or is it better to remain silent? In a last moment of lucidity, Anaïs speaks up and tries to calm things down, asserting that not everything is as it seems. But Teyssier, implacable, wants names. That’s when the door opens, and the person at the center of the scandal enters, determined to confess everything.

The revelation leaves everyone stunned. This isn’t who they thought it was. The motives behind the affair are more complex than simple revenge: a mixture of jealousy, ambition, and desperation. Anaïs and Billie realize they’ve been manipulated from the start, and that their discovery, far from being a coincidence, was part of a much larger plan.

At the end of the episode, a heavy silence falls in the corridors of the Institute. Anaïs, distraught, takes refuge in the Double A room, while Billie tries to understand how things could have come to this. Rose, shocked by the events, promises to take exemplary measures. As for Teyssier, he savors his victory: the truth is out, but the price to pay will be high.

This October 23 episode marks a decisive turning point in the season. Trust is shattered, friendships are fragile, and nothing will ever be the same again. Anaïs and Billie, deeply affected by what they have discovered, will have to face the consequences of their choices. A wind of change is blowing through the Institute, and everyone will now have to choose sides…
