Clotilde is determined to thwart the partnership between Teyssier and the Jourdain hotel in “Here It All Begins” on TF1, this November 2025. Chef Armand will find an unexpected ally…
Coming up soon on TF1’s “Here It All Begins ,” Rose ( Vanessa Demouy ) calls Teyssier ( Benjamin Baroche ) to arrange a meeting, but he claims he doesn’t have time. Cornered, he finally admits he wants to partner with the Jourdain Hotel, despite Clotilde’s objections. Rose is furious at this betrayal but agrees to accompany him to his meeting with Jeanne to prevent him from doing anything foolish.
Meanwhile, Clotilde ( Elsa Lunghini ) overhears a conversation between Ismaël ( Morgan Jallu ), Bianca ( Alexandra Ferreira ), and Zoé ( Maïa Bringue ). She realizes that Teyssier has betrayed her and that he has a meeting with the Jourdains. Later, confronting Joachim ( Janis Abrikh ) and Loup ( Robin Ventura ), she is furious. Chief Armand is shocked to learn that Rose accompanied Teyssier.

The encounter between Teyssier and Hector Jourdain turns into a clash in Here It All Begins
Meanwhile, Jeanne ( Aurélie Vaneck ) shows Teyssier and Rose around the hotel. Rose is persuaded, but remains cautious. Then, Emmanuel is impressed by the hotel brunch prepared by Hector Jourdain ( Guillaume Cramoisan ), Jeanne’s brother. He joins them and is very cold. Teyssier gets straight to the point and proposes a partnership.
The dialogue escalates into a clash, and Hector categorically refuses, despite the Institute director’s arguments. Teyssier eventually catches up with him in the kitchen. He admits to being impressed by Hector’s culinary skills and doesn’t understand why he hadn’t heard of him before. Hector refuses to work with a team of students, but Emmanuel explains that without him, the hotel will close.
This is where it all begins: the shocking alliance between Clotilde and Andréa Jourdain
Then, Andréa ( Marie-Christine Adam ) catches Teyssier and Rose leaving. Jeanne tells her mother about the partnership idea. She assures her that this idea could pay off the hotel’s debts. But Andréa categorically refuses. Hector finally arrives and seems to have changed his mind about the collaboration. Andréa explains to her children that she will never forgive them if the partnership goes through.
At the Institute, Clotilde confronts Rose and Teyssier. They explain that they must leave the past behind and remind everyone that Léon Jourdain is dead. Upon hearing Hector’s name, Chief Armand tenses up. After they leave, Clotilde makes a phone call, asking her contact to prevent this partnership, otherwise they won’t be able to hide the truth much longer.
This is where it all begins: will Clotilde’s secret soon be revealed?
This person is none other than Andrea. Soon, Clotilde will form an alliance with Mother Jourdain to thwart Teyssier’s plan. But Teyssier will eventually discover the truth. Clotilde will be completely devastated. She will look through a family album where she appears with Hector in a photo from 1992. Clotilde will find herself at the heart of the plot.
Thus, several theories are possible: Hector might be Clotilde’s ex, yet another secret son of Auguste Armand, or she might be responsible for his accident. Hector is disabled and walks with a cane. Teyssier even noticed his culinary talent. It’s possible he learned from the best with the Armands, but that his accident disrupted his destiny as a chef. Is Clotilde responsible?
Here It All Begins can be seen from Monday to Friday at 6:35 pm on TF1.
