🔥 Here It All Begins – Episode of November 14: Hector’s explosive announcement rocks the Institute! (Exclusive spoiler)
Spoiler – Approximately 900 words
The November 14th episode opens in a strange, almost electric atmosphere hanging over the Institute’s corridors. For several days, rumors have been swirling: Hector, whom everyone believed to be focused on his rehabilitation and his uncertain professional future, seems ready to make a major decision. But no one imagines the extent to which his choice will shake the school.
From the very first minutes, the tone is set. Clotilde, overwhelmed with stress, is juggling meetings with her teaching staff. She senses that something is brewing, something that could jeopardize the fragile balance she’s been trying to maintain since Hector’s accident. He carefully avoids all contact with her, which only increases her anxiety. She fears a settling of scores… or worse, a public accusation.
Meanwhile, the students are torn between curiosity and tension. Some have heard rumors that Hector asked to give a speech to the entire Institute. Others claim he simply wants to clarify his professional situation. But Jade, always the first to pick up on subtle signs, confides in Souleymane that she saw Hector the previous evening, very nervous, rehearsing phrases in a low voice as if preparing for a crucial moment.
At the Festival of Flavors, where first-year students are to present their creations, the energy has shifted. While Billal tries to motivate his group, Penelope quickly notices the unease. She tries to find out more from Billie, but Billie remains evasive, as if afraid of fueling further speculation.
It was at this moment that Hector made a striking appearance. His gait was still slightly hesitant, but his gaze was determined. He thanked the students for their warm welcome, was friendly, but clearly focused on something far more important than mere pleasantries. Clotilde saw him from afar, and her face immediately hardened. A confrontation seemed inevitable.
A little later, Teyssier intercepts Hector near the Grand Workshop. In his characteristically direct yet subtle manner, the director asks him if he intends to create “an unnecessary earthquake” or if he can still change his mind. Hector manages a smile: “You know me… when I have something to say, I say it.” Teyssier doesn’t hide his irritation, but he also understands that the former professor is no longer willing to live in the shadows, nor to leave his future shrouded in uncertainty.
As time passes, Clotilde tries to make contact. She finds Hector near the vegetable garden, in a moment of apparent calm. She asks him to talk, to tell her what he intends to do, but Hector politely refuses. She persists, reminding him of the past, the efforts they made together to rebuild his life, but Hector replies that “some truths must be spoken publicly.” For Clotilde, the words are a stab in the back. She fears he will reveal a secret she has been protecting for months.
The students and teachers are finally summoned to the lecture hall. The excitement intensifies. Some expect an administrative announcement, others a professional renewal. Lisandro tries to reassure the students, but even he seems worried.
Hector takes the stage, sits behind the lectern, and thanks the Institute for its support since the accident. He acknowledges the efforts and the solidarity, but states that it is time for him to take back control of his future. There is complete silence as he speaks these words:
“Today, I am making a decision that will change not only my life… but perhaps also the lives of some of those present here.”
Clotilde turned pale. Teyssier crossed his arms, ready to intervene if necessary.
Hector then reveals that he has received an unexpected offer: to join a prestigious culinary establishment in London to lead a new gastronomic innovation program. A prestigious, almost unbelievable opportunity, but that’s not all. He adds that he hasn’t yet given his answer… because he wants, first and foremost, to tell the truth about how he was forced out of the Institute a few months earlier, just before his accident.
The room tensed. Several students exchanged frantic glances.
Hector doesn’t make direct accusations, but he very openly alludes to “internal pressures,” “disguised settling of scores,” and a climate that, according to him, contributed to his exhaustion and marginalization. Even without pointing the finger at anyone, it becomes clear to the audience that Clotilde might be involved.
Clotilde tries to intervene, but Hector continues calmly:
“I’m not here for revenge. I’m here to move forward. And for the Institute to move forward as well.”
He then announced that he was finally accepting the offer from London… but proposed, before his departure, to collaborate with the students for a few weeks on a special project, in order to pass on what he considered his culinary heritage. Reactions were mixed: some students applauded, delighted by the opportunity; others remained stunned by the shock of his revelations.
Clotilde, devastated, leaves the room without a word. Teyssier watches her, aware that his position is becoming dangerously precarious.
The episode ends with a twist: alone in his office, Hector receives an anonymous message telling him:
“You’ve only scratched the surface. You should go deeper.”
The mystery remains unsolved… and the next episodes promise to be explosive.
