Here It All Begins spoiler: Léo surprises Gaspard and… (episode video)
The upcoming episode of Here It All Begins promises to be full of emotion and unexpected revelations. The apparent calm that reigned at the Institute will be shattered when a scene that is both disturbing and far-reaching will put several students at the center of a whirlwind of tension. It all begins with an innocuous moment: Léo, always discreet and observant, is simply looking for a little peace and quiet after a long day of classes. But what he is about to discover will shake up not only his perception of his classmates, but also the fragile balance of relationships within the school.
As he walks through the Institute’s greenhouse, Léo overhears a conversation he wasn’t supposed to hear. Out of sight, Gaspard seems nervous, his voice low, talking to someone whose identity remains unclear at first. Their tone is serious, almost worried. Intrigued, Léo approaches discreetly, thinking it’s a simple argument between friends. But he quickly realizes it’s something else entirely. Gaspard is talking about a secret, a lie he’s been trying to hide for weeks. Léo, frozen behind the aromatic plants, no longer knows whether to leave or continue listening. What he hears is beyond anything he could have imagined.
The young man discovers that Gaspard is involved in a far more complex affair than most of the students suspected. He talks about an incident that occurred in the kitchen, a serious mistake he made that someone is helping him cover up. The words echo in Léo’s head: betrayal, guilt, fear. And the more he listens, the deeper the mystery deepens. Gaspard isn’t alone in this story, and the person he’s trying to protect could well be someone at the Institute everyone believes is beyond reproach.
The next day, a troubled Leo tries to resume his day as if nothing had happened. But his shifty gaze and distant attitude don’t go unnoticed. Penelope, his closest friend, senses his nervousness and tries to understand what’s bothering him. Leo hesitates to speak to her, fearing he might stir up a storm. Finally, he gives in to the temptation to confide, but remains evasive. He speaks of a “betrayal” without naming anyone, leading Penelope to suspect that the truth is heavier than it seems. Worried, she tries to reason with him: at the Institute, secrets always end up coming out.
Meanwhile, Gaspard realizes something is wrong. He catches Léo’s eye several times, and unease grows between them. He quickly realizes he’s been caught at the wrong moment. Panicked, he tries to get a one-on-one conversation with Léo to ensure his silence. But Léo, still in shock, avoids any discussion. Gaspard feels the situation slipping away from him. His fear turns to anger: he can’t allow the truth to come out, as it would endanger far more than his own reputation.
The atmosphere at the Institute is becoming increasingly tense. Rumors are circulating, but no one really knows where they’re coming from. Some students claim to have seen Gaspard acting strangely, while others speak of an incident in the kitchen, the consequences of which the administration is trying to cover up. Antoine and Rose, for their part, have a feeling something is going on. They try to get the information out of the students, without success. Things are left unsaid, the tension rises, and everyone begins to doubt the other.
One evening, Léo decides to confront Gaspard. He can no longer bear this weight on his conscience. In a scene of rare intensity, the two young men find themselves alone in the deserted kitchens. Léo confronts him directly: he knows everything. Gaspard, initially defensive, finally breaks down. He admits, in half-hearted words, to having committed a serious error during a service. A dish was apparently contaminated, and instead of notifying the brigade, he preferred to hide the incident, helped by a trusted person. Léo, outraged, reminds him that this kind of error could have had catastrophic consequences. Gaspard, in tears, begs Léo to keep it a secret, swearing that he only wanted to protect someone.
But Léo refuses to remain silent. He believes that at the Institute, honesty must prevail, even if it costs friendships. This decision places him in a delicate position: if he denounces Gaspard, he betrays his trust; if he remains silent, he becomes an accomplice. Penelope, witnessing his dilemma, tries to support him but understands that he will have to choose alone.
The next morning, an emergency meeting is called at the Institute. Claire Guinot and Teyssier sense that something serious is brewing. Léo, his voice trembling, finally reveals everything to the management. Silence falls in the room. Gaspard, pale, realizes that it’s all over. The sanction falls: immediate suspension pending an internal investigation. But beyond the disciplinary consequences, it’s Léo’s betrayal that hits him right in the heart.
This new episode of Here It All Begins promises to shake up the student dynamic. Léo, once withdrawn, unwittingly becomes the center of all discussions. Some applaud his courage, others judge him harshly. As for Gaspard, his future at the Institute seems compromised. However, one final twist will change everything: the person he was trying to protect could well be someone unexpected… what if the truth isn’t as simple as it seems?
Between betrayed friendship, the weight of guilt, and the quest for justice, this episode explores the gray areas of morality, where every choice has a price. In the corridors of the Institute, nothing will ever be the same again, and Léo may well pay a high price.
