Here everything starts early: Éléonore finally leaves the Institute, Carla argues with Bérénice before her marriage proposal… – The complete summary of episode 1280 of Monday, October 13, 2025

Episode 1280 of Here It All Begins , broadcast on Monday, October 13, 2025 , promises a veritable roller coaster of emotions. As tensions rise at the Institute, several destinies change. Between Éléonore , ready to turn the page after months of doubt, and Carla , about to propose, full of twists and turns, the day promises to be explosive. Choices, arguments, confessions and goodbyes follow one another in a ballet of emotions where love and pride clash mercilessly.

For several days, Éléonore has seemed absent, her mind elsewhere. The corridors of the Institute, once synonymous with culinary passion and stimulating challenges, are now nothing more than a backdrop full of memories for her. Her departure was whispered about, feared by some, hoped for by others. And this Monday, she confirms it: she is finally leaving the Armand Institute for good . The decision was not easy, but it is now irrevocable. In a poignant scene, she confides in her brother Louis , admitting that she no longer has a place here. Too many wounds, too many resentments, too many painful memories.

Louis, touched, tries to hold her back, but he understands that this is a necessary step for his sister. “You deserve to catch your breath, Léo. Here, everything takes you back to the past,” he whispers to her with rare sincerity. This moment between them, sober but charged with emotion, marks an unexpected reconciliation. They, who had often opposed each other, finally find common ground. Éléonore’s departure then becomes more than a simple farewell: it is the conclusion of a long journey towards inner peace.

Before leaving, Éléonore walks through the kitchens one last time. Every corner, every aroma seems to remind her of a stage in her life. The apprentices greet her respectfully, aware of the legacy she leaves behind. “We will miss you,” Kelly murmurs, moved. Éléonore gives a small smile, then walks away. A page is turning , but she leaves behind an indelible mark.

Meanwhile, in a completely different register, Carla is having a much more tormented day. For several weeks, she has been secretly preparing a marriage proposal to Bérénice , her partner. A sincere gesture of love, but also a way to prove to everyone – and to herself – that their relationship is strong despite the storms. Everything seems ready: the decorations, the meal, the perfect moment… but nothing will go as planned.

A few hours before the big surprise, an argument breaks out between the two young women. A trivial misunderstanding at first, but one that quickly takes on unexpected proportions. Bérénice criticizes Carla for her lack of transparency, her need to control everything, while Carla is irritated by her partner’s distant behavior. Words go beyond thoughts. “You don’t even trust me anymore,” Carla says, hurt. “Because you never tell me anything!” Bérénice replies, on the verge of tears.

This argument shatters all of Carla’s meticulous preparation. Emotions are mixed: anger, frustration, fear of ruining everything. In a fit of despair, Carla considers canceling the whole thing. But her friends, especially Souleymane and Ambre , urge her not to give up. “If you love him, tell him, even if it’s imperfect,” Ambre advises. These words resonate with the obvious. Carla takes a deep breath, swallows her pride, and decides to follow her heart.

That evening, as Bérénice finds herself alone in the Institute’s grounds, still shaken by their altercation, Carla appears. She says nothing at first, then steps forward, visibly nervous. “I’m not perfect, but I love you. And I want to prove it to you in another way,” she says, before taking a small box from her pocket. The tension dissipates, replaced by pure emotion. Bérénice, surprised, realizes that Carla had been planning this moment for days. Tears well up, anger fades, and time seems to stand still.

Carla gets down on her knees, her voice trembling: “Bérénice, will you marry me?” Silence. Then a smile, shy but sincere. “Yes,” replies Bérénice, her eyes shining. The scene is both simple and magical, the fruit of a chaotic day that finally finds its sweetness. Around them, a few students watch, moved. The couple embrace to applause, and the entire Institute regains a little of its light.

But as always in Here It All Begins , stories of love and farewell intersect, respond to each other, and complement each other. As Éléonore moves away, pulling her suitcase behind her toward an unknown future, Carla and Bérénice begin a new chapter. Two opposing destinies: one closes a door, the other opens one. And in the midst of it all, life at the Institute continues, filled with passion, challenges, and secrets.

In the background, another plot unfolds: Teyssier , watching all this with a thoughtful eye, seems preoccupied. His authority remains intact, but the departures and upheavals shaking his school make him reflect. “Every year, everything starts again… but nothing is ever the same,” he confides to Constance. These words, almost prophetic, suggest new upheavals to come.

This episode 1280 stands out for its emotional charge , its accuracy and its symbolism. Éléonore, by leaving the Institute, embodies the end of a cycle, that of the elders. Carla and Bérénice, for their part, symbolize the future, imperfect but sincere love, the one that dares despite the wounds. It is a beautiful metaphor for the new breath that runs through the series.

As the credits roll that evening, the viewer will struggle to hold back a tear. Because Here It All Begins is, above all, a story of transmission, passion, and resilience. And if Éléonore closes a chapter, it may be to allow others to be written. An episode full of emotion, between ruptures and rebirths , which reminds us that
