Bérénice makes the impossible happen for Carla… the last hope? – Here it all begins October 29, 2025 (episode 1295 – full ITC summary)
This new episode of Here It All Begins , broadcast on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, promises to be a life-changing turning point for Carla, Bérénice, and the entire Institut class. Between sacrifices, revelations, and fragile hopes, emotions will run high. This landmark chapter highlights the strength of female friendship, loyalty in the face of adversity, and the desperate quest for redemption in a world where pressure and ambition spare no one.
The episode begins in a climate of palpable tension. For the past few days, Carla seems to be sinking. Her recognition of Jim, her past wounds, and the competition launched by Clotilde have left deep marks. At her wit’s end, the young woman isolates herself, loses confidence, and questions her place at the Institute. Even the kitchen, once her refuge, can no longer soothe her tormented mind. Her gestures are hesitant, her gaze vacant. Everyone who knows her senses that she is teetering dangerously.
Bérénice, witnessing this slow descent, refuses to stand idly by. True to her character, she decides to act, even if it means provoking the impossible. She understands that only a strong emotional shock could bring Carla back to the surface. But how can you help someone who no longer wants to fight? The young woman begins to develop a risky but sincere plan to rekindle her friend’s flame.
Meanwhile, at the Institute, the atmosphere is tense. Clotilde continues her competition relentlessly. The students, exhausted but determined, compete on the theme of “the taste of transmission”: an exercise in which each dish must tell a story, a connection, an emotion. Jim, still prey to his own remorse, also seems disturbed. His silent complicity with Carla becomes the center of all rumors. Some see it as a love story, others a latent conflict. No one knows the truth yet.
In the kitchen, Bérénice puts her crazy idea into action. She decides to provoke a shock that might force Carla to react: she signs up in her place for the semi-final of the competition, without warning her. An act of defiance against the rules, but also a declaration of absolute friendship. She knows that by confronting Clotilde, she risks a serious sanction, even exclusion. Yet her goal is clear: to push Carla to break her silence, to take back her place, and to stand up for what she truly loves.
When Carla discovers the deception, her anger explodes. Hurt, she accuses Bérénice of betrayal, unable to understand her actions. The confrontation between the two friends is of a rare intensity. Between screams, tears, and repressed truths, Bérénice finally blurts out: “I’d rather be punished than see you disappear before our eyes.” These words hit Carla hard. For the first time, she realizes how much she means to Bérénice, how much her distress affects those who love her.
Meanwhile, Clotilde discovers the situation and flies into a cold rage. For her, this breach of the rules is unacceptable. Antoine attempts to intervene, pleading the cause of the two young women. He sees Bérénice’s gesture not as betrayal, but as a cry from the heart. Clotilde, true to her principles, hesitates. Her gaze hardens, but we sense a form of hidden emotion in her.
In the kitchen, the semi-final begins despite everything. Jim, witnessing the chaos, finds himself faced with a dilemma: should he reveal everything about his relationship with Carla to ease the tension, or remain silent to protect her? His hand trembles as he prepares his dish. His unease is palpable, and Teyssier, invited as an observer, doesn’t fail to notice.
Just as everything seems to be falling apart, an unexpected twist occurs. Carla, overwhelmed by Bérénice’s gesture, decides to pick up her apron and take her place. She bursts into the kitchen, her gaze determined, ready to take up the torch. In front of everyone, she thanks Bérénice: “You reminded me why I’m here.” A silence falls in the room. Clotilde, impressed despite herself, authorizes an “exceptional duo” for this challenge: Carla and Bérénice will cook together, but under the threat of immediate disqualification.
Their dish, a bold creation blending sweetness and bitterness, becomes the perfect symbol of their bond. Every gesture seems imbued with emotion. The complicity between the two young women moves even the most demanding judges. As the tasting approaches, the stress mounts, but something unprecedented happens: Carla regains confidence. Her movements are precise, her flavors balanced, and her smile is reborn.
When the verdict came, Teyssier broke the silence: “You’ve cooked up pure emotion.” A simple sentence, but one heavy with meaning. Even Clotilde cracked a smile, a rare thing. The two friends understood that they had just reached a decisive milestone, not only in the competition, but in their personal journeys.
Later, apart, Bérénice and Carla share a moment of peace. Their resentments fade, replaced by a deep gratitude. Carla confesses that she was ready to give up everything, but that Bérénice’s gesture saved her: “You gave me back the will to live.” The two young women embrace, knowing that their friendship has just triumphed over the toughest challenge.
In the shadows, Jim watches the scene, visibly moved. His expression reveals a mixture of regret and relief. He knows the moment of truth is approaching, that his past with Carla will have to be revealed sooner or later.
The episode ends on a note both sweet and disturbing. As the evening light envelops the Institute, Clotilde announces one final challenge, one that will decide the competition’s grand winner. But for Carla and Bérénice, the greatest battle has already been won: that of solidarity, courage, and indestructible friendship.
This Wednesday, October 29, Here It All Begins delivers an episode of rare intensity, where loyalty and self-improvement intertwine in a score full of heart. Bérénice, ready to do anything to save Carla, proves that sometimes, true victory is not measured in stars, but in humanity. Yet, one mystery remains: will this fragile balance, restored, withstand the secrets still lurking in the shadows? What follows promises to be explosive.
