“Here It All Begins”: Advance summaries of episodes from October 27 to 31, 2025
This new week at the Auguste Armand Institute promises to be electric. Tensions, secrets, and betrayals intertwine in an atmosphere where every look, every word can change everything. While some students prepare for a decisive test, others find themselves trapped in a whirlwind of emotions and manipulation. Between thwarted ambitions, burning rivalries, and uncovering truths, nothing will ever be the same again.
Monday, October 27, 2025 – A high-tension return to school
The Institute is buzzing. After several days of calm, Teyssier makes a thunderous return. More determined than ever to regain control, he calls the students together to announce a series of “no safety net” culinary challenges designed to test their creativity. But behind this announcement lies a strategy: to identify those who still have the fire, and those who, in his opinion, no longer deserve their place at the school.
Anaïs , recently weakened by her doubts, finds herself put in the spotlight. Teyssier entrusts her with the leadership of a temporary brigade, composed of Bérénice , Solal and Thibault . While she sees it as a chance to prove herself, she is unaware that the leader has chosen this team precisely to create sparks. Between explosive personalities and persistent grudges, cohesion seems impossible.
Meanwhile, Clotilde is worried about Rose ‘s strange behavior , as she seems increasingly distant and nervous. A disturbing discovery in her office—a file on a secret partnership project outside the Institute—raises doubts: is Rose preparing to leave?
Tuesday, October 28, 2025 – Trial by Fire
Teyssier’s challenge begins, and the tone immediately rises. Anaïs attempts to assert her authority over a provocative Solal, while Bérénice, standing back, lets herself panic. Thibault, meanwhile, watches everything coolly, ready to intervene at the opportune moment. The team falters, and Teyssier is jubilant: this is exactly what he wanted.
In the kitchen, pots and pans clash as much as egos. A cooking error causes a minor fire, fortunately nothing serious, but enough for Teyssier to let out a monumental rant. “You cook like you’re making soup in a circus!” he yells, as the students look on in amazement. Yet, despite the disaster, Anaïs refuses to give up. She transforms their failed dish into an improvised creation, daring and full of personality. Against all odds, Teyssier confirms: “You surprised me. That’s all I ask.”
Meanwhile, Ethan discovers that Jasmine is hiding a dark secret. For several days, she’s been disappearing at odd hours. When he discreetly follows her, he discovers that she’s secretly working at an outside restaurant. But why? And more importantly, for whom?
Wednesday, October 29, 2025 – The masks fall
The atmosphere at the Institute is growing tense. Accumulated tensions are exploding. Bérénice accuses Anaïs of “pulling her down” to shine on her own, while Solal threatens to leave the brigade. At the same time, Clotilde confronts Rose : she wants to know what she’s up to. Rose finally admits that she’s preparing a personal project, a place where the kitchen would be open “to those who are never listened to.” A restaurant-school for young people in reintegration. But this project, financed by a mysterious investor, risks creating a major conflict of interest with the Institute.
Meanwhile, Teyssier catches Jasmine acting ambiguously. He sees her handing an envelope to a stranger outside the school gates. Convinced she’s betraying the Institute, he decides to confront her. But Jasmine, cornered, finally confesses the truth: she’s repaying a debt her mother owed to an unscrupulous lender. A revelation that shocks even Teyssier, who knows all too well the ravages of the family’s past.
Thursday, October 30, 2025 – Doubt and Breakup
Things are going badly for Anaïs. Despite her apparent success, she feels rejected by her team. Solal, upset at having been publicly humiliated, decides to join another team, while Bérénice gradually drifts away. Anaïs finds herself alone facing her choices, torn between her ambition and her need for recognition.
Meanwhile, Ethan confronts Jasmine about her secret. Their already fragile relationship is shattered under the pressure. A hurt Ethan snaps, “You always tell me everything except what really matters.” A tearful Jasmine leaves the stage without a word.
Meanwhile, Teyssier receives an unexpected visit: a former rival, Louis Castel , who offers him an alliance against Rose and her side restaurant project. Teyssier, intrigued, pretends to accept, while preparing his own counterattack. Because if there’s one thing he hates more than betrayal, it’s being double-crossed.
Friday, October 31, 2025 – The truths come out
The last day of the week marks a turning point. Teyssier gathers the entire Institute to announce news that shakes everyone: a surprise inspection by the ministry will take place the following week. The students have one week to prove that the school deserves to maintain its place as a benchmark in French gastronomy. The announcement creates widespread panic.
But that’s not all: Rose, backed into a corner, reveals her plan in front of everyone. Against all odds, several students—including Anaïs and Jasmine—decide to support her. Teyssier, furious, sees it as open mutiny. Alliances are redrawn, loyalties waver.
In a final, emotional confrontation, Rose says to Teyssier: “You think cooking is a war. I think it’s about sharing.” The chef stares at her for a long moment before responding coldly: “And that’s why you’ll lose.”
The tension reaches its peak during the closing dinner, where each student must present a creation symbolizing their vision of cooking. Anaïs surprises everyone with a dish inspired by her own story: a simple dish but one with a rare emotional power. Even Teyssier, initially speechless, finally lets out a rare compliment. “You finally get it. Cooking is about you, not others.”
The episode concludes with a series of quick shots: Jasmine alone in the night, burning the threatening letter she received; Rose receiving a mysterious call that seems to confirm that her project has been sabotaged; and Teyssier, on the balcony of his office, watching the students, an enigmatic smile on his lips.
This week of “Here It All Begins” marks the beginning of a new chapter full of promise and danger. Ambitions collide, masks fall, and the line between success and betrayal becomes thinner than ever. At the heart of the Institute, a silent war is brewing—for power, hearts, and talent. And this time, no one will emerge unscathed.
Would you like me to write the continuation of this plot (episodes from November 3 to 7, 2025) in the same narrative and dramatic tone?
