Here it all begins on TF1: two episodes will be exceptionally broadcast on Tuesday, October 14, 2025! [SPOILERS]

This is a major event for fans of Here It All Begins : on Tuesday, October 14, 2025 , TF1 has an exceptional evening in store with two new episodes broadcast back-to-back . A rare program, synonymous with major upheavals at the Auguste Armand Institute. And for good reason: the intrigues reach a rarely seen level of intensity, between betrayals, revelations, and unexpected departures. Both students and teachers will experience decisive hours where everything can change. Prepare yourself: this double episode promises to leave a lasting mark on the history of the series.

The first episode opens with a tense atmosphere in the kitchens. For several days, the new recruits’ competition has been in full swing, pitting the excited students against each other in a particularly dreaded challenge: the creation of a complete menu with a free theme. Under the watchful eye of Teyssier , the candidates compete in technique and audacity. But behind the stove, the rivalries become increasingly personal. Carla and Bérénice , once inseparable, find themselves in direct opposition. Their differences, fueled by jealousy and unspoken words, finally come to light. Hurtful words fly, and what was supposed to be a culinary competition turns into an emotional duel.

Meanwhile, Clotilde prepares for the arrival of an honored guest: Emmanuel Armand , a feared food critic and former classmate of Teyssier. His visit puts everyone under pressure. He comes to assess the students’ performance, but also to judge the Institute’s management. Behind his courteous smile, he hides a much more devious goal: to prove that Teyssier has lost his touch. This face-off promises to be explosive, and the first sparks soon fly.

In the kitchen, tensions rise further. Bérénice, exhausted, makes a mistake in her preparation. Carla takes the opportunity to ridicule her in front of everyone, triggering Vic ‘s anger and the indignation of the other students. Even Souleymane , usually diplomatic, can’t help but intervene. Teyssier, observing the scene, cuts it short: “This isn’t a battle of egos, it’s a cooking school!” But despite his remark, the atmosphere is already shattered. Bonds are unraveling, grudges are festering.

The first episode ends on a gripping cliffhanger : after a violent argument with Carla, Bérénice leaves the Institute in tears, leaving behind a letter for Vic and another, more mysterious one for Teyssier. The contents of this letter remain unknown… but it promises to reveal a long-buried secret.

The second part of the evening, broadcast immediately afterward, picks up immediately where everything left off. The tone becomes even more dramatic. Bérénice’s disappearance plunges her classmates into worry. Vic, distraught, tries to find her, while Carla, consumed by remorse, feigns indifference. The audience discovers another side of her character: behind her arrogance, hides a visceral fear of being abandoned.

Meanwhile, Teyssier finally receives Bérénice’s letter. His face freezes as he reads its contents. He understands that the young woman has discovered something compromising, a secret concerning the management of the Institute or perhaps a past he would have preferred to forget. Without saying a word, he summons Clotilde and Antoine for an emergency meeting. A tense scene ensues, where alliances fracture and each suspects the other.

The gala dinner planned for that evening, supposed to crown the competition week, turns into a disaster. The arrival of Emmanuel Armand, the critic, re-escalates the pressure. He makes numerous acerbic remarks, openly attacking Teyssier, but also the students. Carla, under pressure, commits a technical error in the middle of service. The critic humiliates the team in front of the guests, provoking an explosion of anger. Teyssier, in a rare fit of emotion, defends his students: “You can judge our dishes, not our passions!” The audience applauds, but the war is far from over.

It is then that Bérénice reappears , to everyone’s surprise. She returns not to apologize, but to confront Carla one last time. Their exchange is heartbreakingly intense. The two young women finally tell each other their truths. Bérénice admits that she can no longer bear the toxicity of their relationship, while Carla, hurt, half-admits that she is afraid to love. The dialogue, both tender and cruel, ends with a silent farewell.

But that’s not all. In the final minutes of the second episode, an unexpected event shakes the entire Institute: an incident erupts in the kitchen. A gas leak causes a minor explosion, sowing panic. The students urgently evacuate, alarms sound, and Teyssier, heroically, organizes the rescue. No one is seriously injured, but this accident acts as a revelation. Internal tensions, rivalries, secrets—everything comes to the surface. Clotilde accuses Teyssier of negligence, while the director suspects sabotage. What if someone had deliberately wanted to blow up the Institute?

The final images leave room for doubt: a figure walks away into the night, bag in hand, taking one last look at the flames. Was it Carla? Berenice? Or a third party who’s been manipulating everything from the start? The writers masterfully maintain the mystery.

These two special episodes on October 14th are already a highlight of Here It All Begins . They skillfully blend emotional drama, suspense, and themes of self-improvement. The production, more cinematic than ever, highlights the fragility of human bonds in a world where culinary passion rubs shoulders with all-consuming ambition.

TF1 hits hard with this double broadcast: two episodes, two atmospheres, two emotional shocks. Fans will witness not only the definitive breakup between Carla and Bérénice, but also a mysterious event that could redefine the destiny of the Institute. Teyssier, more vulnerable than he lets on, finds himself facing his own demons, while the students, united by fear, must rebuild what the fire—metaphorical or real—has destroyed.

A high-tension double episode, where every minute counts, every look speaks volumes, and where the consequences promise to be dire. On October 14, 2025, Here It All Begins proves that beyond the stove, it’s hearts and consciences that burn most intensely.
