Here’s a full spoiler of about 900 words , unrelated, written in the dramatic, rhythmic, and emotional tone typical of Here It All Begins :

Here it all begins: Jim is responsible for Carla’s image, she takes revenge for good…

In this intense episode of Here It All Begins , the walls of the Auguste Armand Institute resonate with electric tension. Betrayals erupt, secrets fly, and a long-suppressed vengeance finally explodes. It all begins with a shocking revelation: Jim is behind the scandal surrounding Carla. A rumor, a compromising image, and a destroyed reputation… It didn’t take much more to shake the fragile balance of the Institute.

Carla, hurt and furious, gradually discovers the truth. For days, she’d felt like something was being hidden from her. The shifty glances from her classmates, the whispers in the hallways, the mocking posts on social media… Everything pointed to betrayal. And when Lionel, uncomfortable, finally confesses what he knows, the shock is total: “It’s Jim. He’s the one who circulated the photo.”

This sentence resonates in Carla’s mind like a clap of thunder. Jim, the one she had trusted, the one who had defended her against criticism, had betrayed her? At first, she refuses to believe it. But the evidence piles up. Recovered messages, suspicious exchanges, a doctored video… Everything brings her back to him. Her heart sinks, her anger rises. This is no longer just a public humiliation, it’s a personal betrayal.

Meanwhile, Jim tries to justify his actions. He explains to Ethan that it wasn’t intentional, that he didn’t want the situation to escalate. “It started as a joke… a silly dare,” he says, visibly racked with guilt. But words are no longer enough. His mistake has triggered a storm. The students are divided, the cliques are reforming. Some defend Carla, others take Jim’s side. The Institute becomes a silent battlefield, where everyone chooses sides.

Teyssier, returning from a trip, discovers the affair and flies into a rage. “You think you’re on a reality TV show, not a culinary school!” he yells in front of the assembled students. He threatens to fire those responsible and demands an internal investigation. Antoine, more measured, tries to ease the tension. “We need to understand what happened before condemning,” he pleads. But Carla has already made up her mind: she has no intention of forgiving.

The young woman withdraws into herself. Behind her apparent calm, she prepares her response. With the cold determination of a wounded but formidable student, she decides to strike back. And she intends to serve her revenge cold. With the help of Penelope and Billie, she devises a plan as ingenious as it is cruel.

The next day, everything seems normal. Jim, thinking the storm has passed, returns to the kitchen for a workshop with Claire. But nothing goes as planned. Carla has discreetly altered the preparation of a dish he was supposed to present to the chef. As a result, the dish, a failure, becomes inedible, and Jim makes a fool of himself in front of the entire team. “A chef who can’t taste before serving is a disgrace,” Teyssier says contemptuously. Jim quickly realizes he’s been framed, and he has no doubts about the culprit.

But Carla doesn’t stop there. This was just the beginning. She decides to strike harder, on the ground that matters most at the Institute: reputation. Using the same weapons as Jim, she circulates a video in which he appears denigrating certain students, notably those he calls “Teyssier’s little protégés.” Within hours, the video goes viral among the students. Jim, humiliated in turn, loses all credibility.

Ethan, a helpless witness, tries to intervene. “Carla, stop, you’re becoming like him,” he tells her calmly. But Carla, wounded to the core, replies, “No, Ethan. I’m just making him understand what it feels like to be destroyed by someone you thought was sincere.” These words sum up the pain of a betrayed young woman fighting to regain control of her life.

Meanwhile, the teachers are worried about the turn of events. Claire and Rose plead for dialogue. “This war between students will destroy the cohesion of the Institute,” Rose tells Teyssier. But the latter, true to his competitive logic, responds coldly: “Those who can’t handle the pressure have no place here.”

The episode reaches its climax with an explosive confrontation between Jim and Carla. In the deserted kitchens, tensions rise. Jim tries to apologize, to explain that it was all a misunderstanding. “I never meant to hurt you, Carla. I swear.” But she won’t listen. “You humiliated me, Jim. You sullied my name. And now you’re the one who bears the shame.” The tension is at its peak. Eyes clash, words become weapons.

But suddenly, an unexpected event changes everything. Claire enters the room and overhears the argument. Realizing what’s going on, she immediately summons the two students before Teyssier and Antoine. Carla and Jim must explain themselves in front of them. Jim finally admits the truth: yes, he shared the photo, but without realizing the consequences. “I just wanted to impress others, not hurt her.” Teyssier, furious, orders him to leave the kitchen. Carla, moved, can barely hold back her tears.

The next, more intimate scene shows Carla alone in the Institute’s grounds. Her face expresses a mixture of satisfaction and sadness. She has won her revenge, but at what cost? In a voiceover, she confides: “Revenge soothes for a moment… but afterwards, there’s nothing left but emptiness.”

In the final minutes, a devastated Jim leaves the Institute for a few days. Ethan watches him leave without a word. Billie tries to reason with Carla. “You’ve proven yourself strong, but don’t lose yourself along the way.” Carla remains silent, staring into space, as if finally realizing the magnitude of what she has caused.

The episode ends on a melancholic note. In the kitchen, Teyssier silently observes the students. “The Institute trains leaders, not avengers,” he tells Claire. A meaningful phrase, which suggests that the consequences of this war between Carla and Jim are only just beginning.

Would you like me to write the direct sequel , where we would see how Carla deals with the fallout from her revenge and Teyssier’s reaction?
