Here is a complete paraphrase (900 words) of the text, reformulated as a detailed spoiler for an episode of Ici tout commence — with the style of TF1’s exclusive revelations, narrative tone, intriguing and dramatic — for the title:

A wind of discord is blowing through the Institute: the arrival of a new family ignites a powder keg between Teyssier and Andréa

The Auguste Armand Institute has never been a peaceful place, but this time, a new arrival is likely to stir things up. In upcoming episodes of Here It All Begins , tensions rise between Emmanuel Teyssier and Andréa , all under the watchful and anxious eyes of those witnessing the beginnings of an explosive conflict.
At the heart of this discord: a new family recently arrived at the Institute, carrying a heavy past and deeply buried secrets.
And according to Marie-Christine Adam , who is joining the cast, “nothing is going to go as planned… especially not between Teyssier and Andréa.”

A new chapter for the Institute: the arrival of the Girards

For several weeks, rumors had been circulating in the halls of France’s most famous culinary school: a new clan was about to arrive.
And now it’s official. The Girards , a family with a discreet charm but a dubious reputation, have come to settle in at the Institute.
At their head is Élise Girard , played by Marie-Christine Adam, an elegant, determined woman with a fiery temperament. A former Michelin-starred chef, her arrival is no accident.

Behind her smiles and distinguished demeanor, Elise hides a past intertwined with rivalries and deep wounds. And when her path crosses Teyssier
‘s , the encounter quickly turns into a confrontation.

Teyssier on a war footing

Since his triumphant return to the helm of the Institute, Emmanuel Teyssier had vowed to maintain order and excellence. But with the Girards, his convictions waver.
From their very first meeting, the tone is set: Élise is not easily intimidated.

“You lead with fear, Emmanuel. I lead with respect,” she says coldly to him, under Andrea’s astonished gaze.

This retort hits like a whip. Teyssier, stung in his pride, has no intention of backing down.
For him, no newcomer has the right to challenge his authority. But this time, his opponent is his equal.

Andrea caught in the crossfire

And this is where the situation becomes complicated: Andréa , a young prodigy and promising student, finds himself at the heart of the conflict.
He admires Teyssier, his mentor, but feels a growing fascination for Élise, this chef who reminds him why he chose cooking: passion, sincerity, instinct.

As the days go by, Andréa begins to distance herself from Teyssier.
The latter, sensing betrayal, reacts with his usual virulence.

“Don’t let yourself be manipulated by a fame-seeking pseudo-leader,” he tells her sharply.

But Andrea doesn’t give up.

“Perhaps you should listen to those who are not afraid to contradict you,” he replies with rare audacity.

This response marks a turning point.
The model student becomes a rebel, and Teyssier, used to reigning supreme, feels the ground give way beneath his feet.

The battle of egos has begun.

The tension between the two figures becomes almost unbearable.
The teaching meetings devolve into verbal sparring. Élise Girard proposes rethinking the Institute’s culinary pedagogy, advocating a more modern cuisine, more open to the world.
Teyssier, for his part, defends excellence, rigor, and the legacy of Auguste Armand.

Their confrontation quickly goes beyond the professional sphere.
The students split into two camps: those who see Elise as a breath of fresh air, and those who remain loyal to Teyssier, even at the risk of incurring the wrath of the new clan.

Andréa, for his part, finds himself in an impossible position: torn between his attachment to Teyssier and his admiration for Élise, he risks losing everything — his place, his credibility, and perhaps even his balance.

Marie-Christine Adam promises a shock

In a behind-the-scenes interview, Marie-Christine Adam, who plays Élise Girard, hinted that the tensions will go far beyond simple professional disagreements:

“Things are going to go very badly between Teyssier and Andréa… Things are going to escalate, and no one will come out unscathed from this clash of egos.”

According to her, the series is entering a new phase: more psychological, more emotional, but also more violent.
Power dynamics will be disrupted, alliances reshaped.

“Teyssier has never met anyone like Elise. And he can’t stand that,” she confides.

The past resurfaces

But what no one suspects yet is that this confrontation hides an older secret.
Elise and Teyssier have known each other for a long time. A very long time.
Back when they were both apprentices in a prestigious Lyon restaurant, a fierce competition pitted them against each other. A story of love, betrayal, and revenge became intertwined with their careers.

Today, Elise returns not only to teach, but above all to settle some scores.
And she fully intends to use Andrea to achieve her goal.

Andrea on the brink of disaster

Caught in a spiral he can no longer control, Andréa is losing himself.
He wants to believe in Élise’s sincerity, but Teyssier keeps giving him warnings.

“You’re playing with fire, and you’re going to get burned,” he told him.

But the young man persists.
He begins to investigate Teyssier’s past, unaware that he is getting closer to an explosive secret: a betrayal dating back years, which could call into question the very legitimacy of the Institute’s director.

A season of high tension

The upcoming episodes promise to be intense, filled with revelations, manipulations, and settling of scores.
Élise Girard emerges as a formidable rival, ready to do anything to dethrone Teyssier.
Andréa, meanwhile, unwittingly becomes the key player in a game that is far beyond his control.

As for Teyssier, wounded in his pride, he has not said his last word.

“They want to bring me down? Let them try. I am Teyssier.”

But this time, the king of the Institute may well discover that even the most powerful eventually fall.

A new lease of life for the series

With this original storyline, Here It All Begins opens a new chapter in its story.
Between generational clashes, ego clashes, and buried secrets, the series promises episodes rich in emotion and plot twists.

And if Marie-Christine Adam says so, one thing is certain:
👉 “Things are going to go very badly between Teyssier and Andréa… and this is only the beginning.”
