Andréa Jourdain changes her mind and accepts the partnership between the Institute and the Hotel in “Here It All Begins” on TF1, this November 2025. Meanwhile, Clotilde confesses and drops a bombshell on Rose and Teyssier…
Coming up soon on TF1’s “Here It All Begins ,” Teyssier ( Benjamin Baroche ) confronts Andréa ( Marie-Christine Adam ) at the hotel after her shocking discovery on Friday. He wants to know why Auguste Armand gave the hotel to Léon and Andréa Jourdain. Andréa then proposes a deal with the director of the Institute.
Andréa agrees to vote for the Institute’s partnership, in exchange for which she asks him to stop digging into their past. Meanwhile, Hector coaches the brigade composed of Léonard ( Thomas Vilan ), Zoé ( Maïa Bringue ), Ismaël ( Morgan Jallu ), and Bianca ( Alexandra Ferreira ). At the same time, Clotilde tries to take her mind off things with Joachim ( Janis Abrikh ), but to no avail. Their conversation is interrupted by… Hector!

The shocking reunion between Clotilde and Hector in Here It All Begins
Clotilde ( Elsa Lunghini ) is shocked to see Hector ( Guillaume Cramoisan ) again. He doesn’t understand why she refused to lead the brigade. He thinks it’s because of her cane. Chief Armand assures him that’s not the case, but Jourdain’s son remains convinced that she’s distanced herself from him since her accident. What if she’s responsible?
Later, Teyssier is frank with Clotilde, knowing she isn’t telling the whole truth. He asks her if the partnership with the Jourdains could jeopardize the Institute. She insists she’s told everything, but remains opposed to the partnership. Emmanuel remains suspicious.
This is where it all begins: the partnership between the Institute and the Hôtel Jourdain is formalized.
Then, Teyssier and Rose ( Vanessa Demouy ) join Andréa, Jeanne ( Aurélie Vaneck ), and Hector at the hotel for the vote. Andréa keeps her promise and finally votes in favor of the partnership, explaining her position to her children. Rose points out that Clotilde, who is not present, is still against it. By majority vote, the partnership between the Institute and the Jourdain family is approved.
Then, Teyssier chats with Hector and compliments him on his cooking. During the conversation, he discovers that Hector often cooked with Auguste Armand ( Francis Huster ). Armand had taken him under his wing and passed on his culinary secrets, which shocks Emmanuel. He tells Rose about his discovery. He confesses that the hotel belonged to his father and that the Jourdains were the guardians of the Institute.
This is where it all begins: What if Clotilde wasn’t Auguste Armand’s daughter?
Facing Clotilde, Teyssier makes a sarcastic remark, suggesting that Hector is yet another of Auguste Armand’s secret sons. He claims Armand had an affair with Andréa. And he’s right! Clotilde drops a bombshell, announcing to her sister and Emmanuel, “I’m not sure of anything, but I think Hector is our brother .” But is that really the case?
Clotilde seems ready to do anything to hide the truth since the Jourdains arrived. She may have said that to avoid suspicion. It would be surprising if, after Louis ( Fabian Wolfrom ) and Axel ( Thomas Da Costa ), Auguste Armand had yet another secret son, despite this major storyline marking the show’s five-year anniversary. Another theory is emerging: Clotilde might not be Auguste’s biological daughter…
Here It All Begins can be seen from Monday to Friday at 6:35 pm on TF1.
