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

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.

Stefano and Joy prepare the cake for Alice while Max makes sure that Joy has had some ideas to invite both of the birthday girl's parents. When Max takes Alice to the amusement park, she notices something strange.

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.

In her rush to leave her father's friend's apartment, Joy forgets to take the cake for Alice's party. While trying to figure out what to do with Stefano, Alice's parents arrive.

Finally Max manages to get Alice into the Bistrot where the surprise party had been organized. After the party, Max meets Michelino who explains who the lawyer is and what happened to the cake.

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.
