After Stefano returned with the Jams, things seem to have gone back to normal. Alice reflects on the fact that their age isn't an easy one because there are many changes. Some beautiful, others less so.

At school, Stefano has good news, but the lesson must continue. The teacher asks the students to observe outside and express what they see and feel through drawing. She is particularly struck by a couple of drawings, albeit for different reasons.

For the finale, there will be an exceptional guest, a famous chef, and the kids are beside themselves with excitement. The Jams need to climb up the rankings, and Melissa's team changes their approach on how to manage the contest to win.

Max and Alice are at the amusement park and want to go on a ride, but the place looks deserted. Everything is ready at the bistrot except for the cake, which Joy should be bringing. On the way to the party, she runs into her little friend on his bike.

After Alice's surprise birthday party, she and Max share their monthiversary and want to tell about how they helped Joy.

At school, the teacher talks about bullying and after the lesson Alice tries to talk to Joy about what Max discovered. Joy doesn't react well and leaves her friend alone.

Alice returns home and is sad and very worried about Joy. She tries to tell her mother that Joy was left alone with the lawyer and that the story about the forgotten cake on the street was a lie. The mother then calls Joy's mom.

Joy is not going to school and is not responding to anyone anymore. Melissa seems happy to know that the Jams will be in trouble at the competition, but the kids want to give it their all. Meanwhile, Joy is being helped by her parents.

We are at the final competition, the dessert one, and both the Jams and The Best have a new captain. Joy talks to the doctor about how much she likes cooking but not so much drawing.

Joy begins to open up with the doctor while the kids are dealing with a race against time at the contest. At the end of the competition, the professor starts giving her grades.

New captains, absences, and tensions made the competition quite lively. We're at the dessert voting stage, which will decide who will participate in the final, and the Jams make a video for Joy where they communicate the result.

Alice and her friends know that something serious has happened to Joy, but their parents have only told them to be patient and that their friend will return soon.

The finale is approaching and Alice, Stefano, and Max are recording the video of the recipe they have chosen for the appetizer to send to Joy. The Jams don't want Joy to feel alone and wonder what's the point of participating in the final competition without their friend.

The Jams are four and without Joy the finale makes no sense. Alice, Stefano, and Max go to visit Alice to make her understand how important their friendship is and let her taste the cake they made. All together they decide to run to the finale.

The Jams arrive running at school where the award ceremony is already underway. Chef Borghese has just awarded the cup but asks the winners if they want to win by challenging the Jams. Oscar, as captain, decides to continue the competition and they begin with the appetizer tasting.
