Joy finally realizes where Stefano might be and goes looking for him. She finds out what went wrong.

When Joy locks herself in her room, her mother joins her to understand what's happening. At that moment, Max calls to warn that Stefano has run away, and the girl rushes to the park to meet the others and figure out what to do.

In the challenge of the second courses, with a twist, the Jams slip to third place. Only the dessert challenge was left, but the final is not yet compromised if they manage to climb back up the rankings.

Alice asks Joy to try to talk to Stefano since she likes him, but he's not responding to messages anymore. At the contest, the kids are dealing with a second course, and in the end, the Jams will present a meatloaf.

During the lesson on main courses, Joy seems very distracted and Alice thinks it's because of Stefano. The Jams seem to be in real trouble now that even Max hasn't shown up.

Joy received confirmation from Stefano that he no longer wants to participate in the contest. In class, the teacher returns the assignments and compliments all the students. To everyone's great surprise, even Max got a full passing grade.

After Stefano's decision to leave the Jams, there's a risk that the kids might lose the contest final. Alice is agitated, but Max tries to calm her down by telling her that everything will be fine.
