🎬 Here It All Begins, November 7th: Teyssier makes a discovery about the Jourdain family! (episode 1302 – full summary and spoiler in advance)
Thursday ‘s episode of Here It All Begins, airing November 7th, promises to be explosive, marked by a series of revelations that will shake the Institute to its core. Teyssier, as formidable as ever when it comes to uncovering secrets, will stumble upon crucial information concerning the Jourdain family. This discovery, both unsettling and destabilizing, could well disrupt the fragile balance established over the past few weeks between the staff and the students. This new episode will also highlight growing tensions within the teaching staff and difficult choices for several characters, torn between ambition, loyalty, and betrayal.
For some time, Teyssier had noticed inconsistencies in the accounts and projects related to the Jourdain family . True to his instincts, he began to investigate discreetly, without alerting his colleagues. Meanwhile, Constance was worried about her husband’s behavior: she sensed he was up to something and feared his obsession with control might lead him to cross certain lines. But Teyssier, convinced that something was amiss, persisted. And his suspicions were confirmed when he discovered a compromising document in the Institute’s archives.
The revelation is significant: what he learns about the Jourdains could jeopardize a whole aspect of their reputation and their position at the Institute. According to the evidence uncovered, it appears that Milan Jourdain falsified certain files to obtain undue advantages, while Léonard allegedly took advantage of an ambiguous situation to cover up a past wrongdoing. Teyssier, deeply stung by this betrayal, understands that this affair goes beyond mere administrative matters—it is a genuine manipulation orchestrated behind the scenes.
Meanwhile, AnaĂŻs finds herself in the midst of an inner conflict. She must choose between revealing what she knows or protecting her friends. Her relationship with Milan is severely shaken. He, aware that the ground is crumbling beneath his feet, tries to convince her to remain silent, swearing that it’s all just a misunderstanding. But AnaĂŻs isn’t fooled: she senses that something is wrong and can no longer bear having to lie to others. Her doubts intensify when Teyssier questions her indirectly, trying to gauge her reaction.
For her part, Clotilde disapproves of Teyssier’s maneuvers. She accuses him of poking around in matters that don’t concern him, fearing that this clash of egos will escalate once again. However, even she begins to doubt the Jourdains’ integrity. A tense scene erupts between Clotilde and LĂ©onard, where accusations fly and each tries to save face. The Institute, usually so focused on gastronomy, becomes the stage for a real settling of scores.
As tensions escalate at Double A, Penelope tries to calm things down. Always committed to justice, she encourages AnaĂŻs to follow her conscience, even if it means going against her friends. GaĂ«tan, meanwhile, notices Penelope’s growing stress and worries about her. But even their moments of connection are disrupted by the rumors circulating in the hallways: everyone is talking about “Teyssier’s discovery” without knowing exactly what it is.
The rumor soon reaches Marc Leroy , who tries to find out more. Despite being on bad terms with Teyssier, he understands that something serious is afoot. During a heated confrontation between the two leaders, Teyssier lets slip a clue: “If you knew what the Jourdains are hiding, you’d fall off your chair.” This remark doesn’t go unnoticed and piques everyone’s curiosity.
That same evening, a crisis meeting was held at the Institute. Teyssier finally revealed what he had discovered: documents proving that the Jourdains had misappropriated culinary credits, falsified evaluation results, and concealed a major error in a flagship recipe of the training restaurant. It was a bombshell. LĂ©onard tried to defend himself, arguing that it was a simple administrative error, but Teyssier left no room for doubt.
The consequences are expected to be severe. The administration must decide whether to initiate disciplinary proceedings, while some professors are demanding the immediate suspension of the Jourdains. For the first time, Teyssier appears almost vulnerable: his obsession with the truth has isolated him, and even those closest to him are beginning to doubt his intentions. Is he truly driven by justice, or is he using this affair to regain absolute control of the Institute?
Meanwhile, Ethan and Souleymane are trying to understand the repercussions for the students. Some fear that the scandal will implicate everyone and damage the school’s reputation. Others, on the contrary, see this crisis as an opportunity to foster a new generation of more ethical leaders.
The episode concludes with a tense scene: Teyssier, alone in his office, rereads an anonymous letter he received a few days earlier. A wry smile plays on his lips—proof that he’s still one step ahead. The handwritten note at the bottom of the letter leaves room for doubt: “This is only the beginning.”
This cliffhanger promises to completely relaunch the plot, setting up subsequent episodes full of twists, exposed lies, and unexpected alliances.
Thus, in this high-tension November 7th , Here It All Begins proves once again that behind the stoves of the Institute, the competition is not only about recipes… but also about carefully simmered secrets.
