Here everything starts in advance (TF1): what awaits you the week of October 27 to 31, 2025

The coming week at the Auguste Armand Institute promises to be intense, moving, and rich in revelations. From October 27 to 31, 2025, Here It All Begins plunges its heroes into a whirlwind of emotions, secrets, and truths that come to light. Between betrayals, family revelations, and professional rivalries, nothing will be left to chance. The students, teachers, and administration will all be confronted with their own limits, in an atmosphere charged with tension and passion.

It all begins with a tense atmosphere on Monday morning. The Institute is preparing a major culinary event, a week of competitions dedicated to “culinary origins and heritage.” This theme, chosen by Teyssier, seems innocuous, but it will trigger a series of unexpected rethinks. Each student must propose a recipe inspired by their personal history, an exercise that will quickly expose the wounds and unspoken thoughts of several characters.

Carla, already weakened by recent tensions with her classmates, finds herself at the heart of the intrigue. While searching for inspiration for her dish, she discovers an old photo in the Institute’s archives, featuring a woman who looks strikingly like her. This innocuous detail will become the starting point of a quest for identity that will turn her entire week upside down. For her part, Bérénice notices Carla’s distress and tries to help her, but the young woman refuses to speak, consumed by an anxiety she doesn’t yet fully understand.

Meanwhile, Teyssier, as demanding as ever, puts pressure on the brigades. He wants this event to be perfect, convinced that it’s an opportunity to restore the Institute’s image after several scandals. His authoritarian tone creates new tensions, particularly with Clotilde, who believes he’s going too far. Their disagreements erupt in the middle of the service, in front of the students, causing a scene of rare intensity. Between pride, arrogance, and past grudges, the rivalry between these two emblematic figures has never been so explosive.

On Tuesday, a surprising incident disrupts the school’s routine: a stranger arrives at the reception desk, claiming to want to speak to Carla. The man, visibly nervous, claims to be connected to her family’s past. His arrival sends shockwaves through the air. A distraught Carla initially refuses to meet him, but curiosity eventually wins out. Their conversation, tinged with mystery, suggests that Carla may not be who she thinks she is. Her origins may be very different from the story she’s always been told.

Meanwhile, Hortense discovers that a student cheated during the internal selection process, jeopardizing the competition’s reputation. Determined to shed light on this matter, she conducts a discreet investigation. The clues lead her to suspect someone close to Carla, further complicating the situation. Between friendship, loyalty, and morality, Hortense’s dilemma takes on a powerful emotional dimension.

Wednesday marks a dramatic turning point. While rummaging through her belongings in search of a recipe book, Carla discovers an old letter hidden inside a book. The contents are shocking: she learns that she was adopted, and that her biological mother has a connection to the Institute. The shock is immense. Unable to accept the truth, Carla runs away, leaving everything behind. Her friends, worried by her silence, set out to find her.

Meanwhile, Anaïs finds herself embroiled in another intrigue: she receives an unexpected job offer abroad, which calls into question her future at the Institute. Between professional ambitions and personal life, she will have to make a difficult choice. Her exchanges with Lisandro, laden with emotion and regret, remind us how fragile the line between love and duty can sometimes be.

On Thursday, Carla makes her grand return to the Institute, but she’s not the same. Her hard, determined gaze reflects the inner storm she’s going through. Teyssier, intrigued by her change of attitude, decides to push her to the limit during a cooking workshop. The result is striking: Carla prepares a dish of rare intensity, a true outlet for her anger and pain. The jury remains silent, overwhelmed. Even Teyssier, usually sparing with compliments, acknowledges her sincerity: “You just cooked with your soul.”

In another corner of the Institute, Clotilde discovers that Carla’s administrative file contains inconsistencies. Documents were altered years ago. She alerts Rose, who begins to suspect that a member of management may be involved in covering up the young woman’s past. These revelations add a mysterious dimension to the plot, mixing institutional secrets and long-standing manipulations.

That same day, another narrative thread intensifies: Malik and Ethan compete once again to impress Chef Meyer, who has been invited to judge their dishes. Their rivalries reach a fever pitch, but a kitchen incident—a spectacular burn—forces one of them to reassess his true self. This dramatic event reminds everyone that a passion for food can sometimes turn into an obsession.

On Friday, the tension eases slightly, but emotions remain raw. Carla decides to face the truth once and for all. Accompanied by Bérénice, she visits the woman mentioned in the letter: a former student of the Institute, now ill, who reveals the whole story. This woman is her biological mother, forced to abandon her years earlier because of a scandal that had tarnished the school. Tears, regrets, and confessions mingle in a scene of rare intensity.

Back at the Institute, Carla decides to transform her pain into strength. At the competition’s closing ceremony, she presents her final dish: Origins . Through this creation, she celebrates rediscovered truth and self-acceptance. Her speech deeply moves the students and teachers. She declares: “I no longer know where I come from, but I finally know who I am.”

Teyssier, Clotilde, and Rose exchange a knowing glance. The Institute, often a place of competition, becomes for once a space of reconciliation and rebirth. But in the final minutes of the episode, a new mystery unfolds: an anonymous message appears on the screen of an administrative computer, evoking “the Armands’ true secret.” This heralds an even more explosive plot for the following week.

So, this week of October 27 to 31, 2025 promises to be one of the most memorable of Here It All Begins . Between the quest for identity, family revelations, and power struggles, emotions will be at their peak. The characters, confronted with their deepest truths, will have to choose between flight, confrontation, or reconstruction. One thing is certain: at the Auguste Armand Institute, nothing will ever be the same again.
