Kristen: So, if this is your bakery, can I find you here every day? Gilbert: Almost every day. I also got a side job in the athletic field, but this store is my true passion. I could also give you my number, if you need anything special... Kristen: Kristen, my name is Kristen. And yours is *reads nameplate* Gilbert. I like the sound of that. Gilbert: Well then, see you around, Kristen!

And word spread fast, that a new family had moved to Bluewater. Village people could be so nosy, Jennifer thought, yet it was interesting to meet the local careerists and maybe get some help on the job market. Mr. Landgraab - Malcolm - especially seemed like an interesting acquaintance.

What would come out of this sudden turn of events? Would Gilbert oblige to his mother and get married and do the whole family stuff he actually didn't want. Florence was a nice woman, but he never felt more like a friend for her. She was herself way to busy for a relationship, wasn't she? Find out how this mess continues, next season!

And after getting pretty good at Ikebana over the past month, he decided to make Florence a special gift.

Florence: Oh, what`s this? Gilbert: Just some you know, bouquets I did yesterday. I thought you could sell those in your store Florence: Oh my Gil, this is so nice of you!

Gilbert had no idea how it happened, but suddenly Florence's lips met his. He didn't know what to make out of it. There was that scene when Florence had tried flirting with him, when she was like a little tipsy, but he really had no idea how she felt for him. He hoped she didn't take his gift as a romantic one, he just tried to be nice, he know how hard business could be and he thought the bouquets were quite nice....

Without telling his mother, Gilbert finally decided to get his foot back into sports. Hey, being a mascot was better than being a baker...

Denise: Have you signed the contract with Miss Caliente? I saw her leave your room after waking up from my nap? Gilbert: Well, no. She's looking for something more extravagant. I showed her some of Dad's creations. She would have liked those but I'm afraid neither you nor me or Triana have the skill for things like those. Denise *sigh*: You know I was more involved with the finances of the bakery. I wish your father had taught you more of his skills.

How did Gilbert tell his mother that he never wanted to be a baker like them? He hated flour dust! He hated waking up early. He always wanted to make his soccer talent into a career but his parents always though this was stupid. And now he was too old...

Gilbert: We'll find somebody as good as Dad, I'm sure Maman.

Denise wouldn't tell him how she wished he would be the one as good as his father...

[tamtam-go92]

Gilbert met another great catch at the bakery. Dina, was from Pleasantview and told him she was about to get married soon and still looking for the perfect cake. So Gilbert invited her for a private meeting to talk about everything.

Well long story short, Dina didn't like the cake Gilbert offered to her, but she liked other stuff, he had to offer...

[tamtam-go92]

And in the few time he wasn't dating, he picked up a new hobby. His friend Florence had told him so much about flower arranging that he started to show interest in it too. So he picked up the hobby of Ikebana.

[tamtam-go92]

But he was definitely more interested in Breanna. And it soothed his mother's nerves seeing him with the same girl more than once. She didn't actually like Breanna but she accepted her in her house.

[tamtam-go92]

But actually there never was more than some innocent flirting and dancing. Trina was cute, not a question, but Gilbert wasn't that much into her "nice girl" attitude.

[tamtam-go92]

His mother would snap if she found out that Gilbert even had another iron in the oven. Trina Dalton, the girl that helped him and his mother at the bakery since his father had died. Trina was even younger than Breanna, but things clearly weren't one-sided! Trina would even sometimes call Gilbert to go downtown, clubbing.

[tamtam-go92]

Breanna and Gilbert got along great, on the physical side.

Conversations usually turned out quite short...

[tamtam-go92]

Gilbert on the other side was a plain hedonist. Currently he was seeing a girl called Breanna, 16 years younger than him and the way she dressed, just as bad as Gilbert himself...

Jacquet family

The Jacquets left everything they had behind and tried to build a new life in Bluewater Village. Will they go from rags to riches and create a healthy franchise system that goes public? Or will they fail and watch their dreams crumble like a week old croissant?

With a strong sense of order, Denise likes to know what is going on. Especially in her son's life.

Soon afterwards Florence said her goodbyes. She wouldn't answer any of Gilbert's calls for the next weeks.

[tamtam-go92]

But when Florence took all her courage and tried to attempt Gilbert, he quickly refused her. Shocked by her own behaviour, she tried to flee the situation but Gilbert held her back.

Gilbert: Florence! Wait, you must not run away. I'm sorry okay. I was a little overwhelmed by you approach. That's just not what I know from you. Sorry if I came off rude. Please let us just forget this episode, okay?

Forget? Florence was tipsy but she would never forget how she made a fool out of herself. What was she thinking? Of course Gilbert was into a wallflower like her. A hot, wild one like Chastity would probably be more to his taste...
