Here it all begins: advance summaries of the episodes until November 14, 2025 with Teyssier who drops the masks [SPOILER]
The next few weeks at the Auguste Armand Institute promise to be explosive. Between rivalries, unspoken secrets, and unexpected betrayals, the students and teachers will experience a series of events that will upset the school’s already fragile balance. At the center of it all: Emmanuel Teyssier, more formidable than ever, determined to restore order and reveal the truths everyone is trying to suppress. By November 14, the masks will fall, and no one will emerge unscathed from this emotional and culinary storm.
By the end of October, tensions are rising. After the recent incidents at the Institute—between the mysterious power outage in the kitchens and suspicions of sabotage—Teyssier firmly regains control. He imposes strict new rules and pushes the students to their limits. But behind his apparent coldness, the director seems to be pursuing a very specific goal: to discover who, in the shadows, is trying to destabilize the school. His legendary flair doesn’t deceive him: there’s a mole among them.
At the same time, Carla continues to recover from her illness and memory loss. But as the episodes progress, fragments of her past gradually return, revealing a truth she feared. She understands that her accident may not have been a simple coincidence. Her visions become more precise: a noise, a silhouette, a whispered word. Bérénice, upset, tries to support her, while Billie, worried, grows further and further apart. Their once close-knit trio is fractured. And when Carla confides in Rose that she believes she was the victim of an intentional act, a new internal investigation is launched.
Teyssier, informed, takes this matter very seriously. He summons the students one by one, questioning with his biting frankness those who were present on the day of the tragedy. Some bend under the pressure, others rebel. But as the days pass, it becomes increasingly clear that several members of the Institute are hiding matters far more serious than simple student errors. The director’s authority strengthens, and his reputation as a man capable of anything to obtain the truth is confirmed.
Meanwhile, another intrigue unfolds around Constance and Clotilde. These two women, long accomplices despite their differences, find themselves at odds over a major professional disagreement. A decision made by Clotilde without consultation ignites the powder keg. Antoine attempts to ease tensions, but the incident escalates, reawakening old grudges between the two professors. The Institute becomes the scene of a silent struggle between pedagogy and authority, between modernity and tradition.
Meanwhile, Thibault, recently arrived at the school, attracts everyone’s attention. A brilliant but mysterious student, he hides a troubled past. His unstable behavior and shifty gaze worry several teachers. Meanwhile, Jasmine, still torn between her role as a mother and her culinary ambitions, tries to stay the course. But Thibault’s arrival in her team changes everything: a tension that is both electric and dangerous is created between them. Very quickly, a special bond is formed, mixing attraction, mistrust, and secrets.
In early November, an unexpected event rocks the Institute: a nationwide culinary competition is announced, and Teyssier sees it as the perfect opportunity to once again prove his school’s superiority. The students throw themselves into the competition with enthusiasm, but team spirit quickly gives way to rivalry. Léonard and Malik, who had reconciled, find themselves at odds once again. This time, their clash goes further: betrayal, jealousy, and sabotage mar the competition.
Teyssier, observing everything from the sidelines, understands that this battle of egos could cost the Institute dearly. But true to form, he prefers to let the truth emerge on its own rather than intervene too soon. His goal: to force everyone to reveal themselves. And he won’t be disappointed. As the trials progress, the masks fall: alliances break, couples tear each other apart, and some reveal a much darker side than they let on.
At the same time, the Rose–Antoine couple is experiencing a new crisis. The secrets of the Institute, the tensions between teachers and students, and even the unspoken aspects of their own relationship threaten their stability. Rose, always committed to teaching and protecting the students, clashes with a more rigid and disillusioned Antoine. Their disagreement over the management of the school becomes so profound that it could well separate them for good.
At the same time, Clotilde makes an unexpected discovery: a letter forgotten in the Institute’s archives evokes an old scandal linked to Auguste Armand himself. This historical revelation threatens to tarnish the institution’s prestige. Torn between loyalty and truth, Clotilde must make a difficult choice. Should she bring past mistakes to light, at the risk of destroying the school’s legacy, or remain silent to preserve her image?
In the following days, the noose tightens around the kitchen saboteur. Thanks to Bérénice’s intuition and Teyssier’s sharp eye, the truth finally emerges: the person responsible for the sabotage is none other than a well-adjusted student, driven by a sense of revenge. His motive? Revenge for an injustice committed during a previous test. This revelation shocks everyone. Teyssier, implacable, decides to expel the student immediately. But this act of authority draws new criticism, particularly from Antoine, who accuses him of excessive harshness.
Tensions reach a peak on the eve of November 14th. Teyssier calls a general meeting, determined to set the record straight. Before students and teachers, he unveils one by one the lies, manipulations, and betrayals that have rocked the Institute in recent weeks. His scathing and hard-hitting speech leaves everyone speechless. But just when calm seems to have returned, a final bombshell explodes: Teyssier reveals that he is preparing a major change of direction. A shocking decision, the consequences of which will be felt far beyond the school walls.
The end of the period promises to be decisive. Some will see their careers shattered, others their dreams strengthened. Romantic relationships, meanwhile, will be put to the test: Bérénice will have to choose between loyalty and her feelings, while Jasmine and Thibault will have to face the consequences of their rapprochement.
But one thing is certain: by November 14, Here It All Begins will live up to its promise. Between revelations, betrayals, and twists, Emmanuel Teyssier, true to his reputation, will unmask all those who thought they could deceive him. And when the curtain falls, nothing will be the same at the Auguste Armand Institute.
