🎬 Here it all begins: “The Jourdain secret is revealed, Clotilde at the heart of the scandal – Teyssier confronted with an unsuspected truth” [SPOILER]

A bombshell has dropped at the Auguste Armand Institute! The upcoming episode of Here It All Begins promises to be one of the most explosive of the season. Between unexpected revelations, old grudges, and family secrets, nothing will ever be the same again. Just when tensions between Teyssier and Clotilde seemed to be reaching a boiling point, an unexpected event will change everything. A truth, long hidden in the shadows, resurfaces and threatens to shake the very foundations of the Institute.

It all begins in a tense atmosphere. Clotilde, visibly nervous, avoids eye contact and seems preoccupied with something serious. Guillaume tries to reassure her, but Headmistress Armand remains distant. For several days, rumors have been circulating in the hallways: a mysterious connection supposedly exists between Clotilde and the Jourdain family. Some students have overheard snippets of conversation, others have seen Clotilde deep in discussion with a certain François Jourdain , a man whose name is coming up with increasing frequency.

Meanwhile, Teyssier , true to form, can no longer tolerate being kept in the dark. His instincts tell him something is afoot. And when he unearths a forgotten file in the Institute’s archives, all hell breaks loose. What he discovers surpasses anything he could have imagined. Ancient documents, letters signed by the founder Auguste Armand… and one name that keeps cropping up: Jourdain . The connection between this family and the Armands is no coincidence.

Teyssier immediately confronts Clotilde, determined to get answers. The scene is tense, electric, almost violent. “How much longer did you intend to lie to me?” he demands, furious. Cornered, Clotilde tries to dodge the question, but her eyes betray her. She knows the moment of truth has arrived. And when she finally speaks, everyone is speechless.

The secret she reveals is as shocking as it is unexpected: the Jourdain and Armand families are linked by a shared past , a long history marked by betrayals and regrets. François Jourdain is none other than Auguste Armand’s former partner, a man dismissed from the Institute years ago under dubious circumstances. But what no one knew was that Clotilde had maintained contact with him. Even worse: she is said to have concealed crucial information concerning the Institute’s succession.

What initially seemed to be merely a professional disagreement then took a much more personal turn. According to letters discovered by Teyssier, François Jourdain had been having an affair with someone very close to the Armand family—a secret liaison that had considerable consequences. And Clotilde had always known about this connection.

The students, indirect witnesses to the tension gripping the Institute, feel the shockwaves. Hortense and Mehdi try to understand the situation, while Anaïs wonders: why would Clotilde have kept such a secret? Meanwhile, Marc Leroy, who learns the truth by chance, advises Teyssier to keep a cool head. But he can no longer ignore what he has just learned. For the headmaster, everything now makes sense: Clotilde’s maneuvers, her strange decisions, her silences… everything was calculated to protect this truth.

In a scene of rare intensity, Teyssier gathers the main protagonists in his office. Around the table: Clotilde, Guillaume, Marc, and a surprise guest… François Jourdain himself. The man, calm and dignified, asserts that he never sought to harm the Institute. But he confirms that secrets were kept to “protect certain people.” These words ignite Teyssier’s anger: “Protect? Or manipulate?”

Clotilde finally breaks down. She confesses that Auguste Armand, before his death, entrusted her with a mission: to preserve the Institute’s stability at all costs, even if it meant concealing certain truths. Among these truths, one in particular stood out: a hidden inheritance belonging to the Jourdain family, which could have given François rights over the school. Teyssier then realizes he has been manipulated, used in a much larger power struggle.

But the biggest shock is yet to come. In the final minutes of the episode, a major revelation is dropped: Clotilde discovers that François Jourdain is not only a former associate of Auguste’s… but the biological father of someone at the Institute . The child’s identity remains a mystery, but everything points to it being one of the current students. Glances are exchanged, theories fly, and the suspense becomes unbearable.

This revelation changes everything. Clotilde, overwhelmed by shame, understands that her silence has only made the situation worse. Teyssier, for his part, sees this as a personal betrayal: “You buried the truth like one buries a dead person, Clotilde. But everything always comes back to the surface.” His icy tone foreshadows open warfare between the two pillars of the Institute.

At the end of the episode, a heavy silence hangs over the grounds. The students watch, perplexed, the tension between their teachers. The Institute’s reputation is at stake, and everyone fears the scandal will erupt publicly. For Teyssier, trust is no longer an option: he wants answers, and this time, nothing will stop him.

💥 This spoiler reveals a major turning point in Here It All Begins . Secrets buried for years resurface, bringing with them betrayals, revelations, and deep rifts. The Institute’s stability is threatened, and alliances risk shattering.

So, what else is Clotilde hiding? And above all, who is the Jourdain child really?
One thing is certain: the truth is only beginning to be revealed, and no one at the Auguste Armand Institute will emerge unscathed from this scandal.
