Here it all begins: major upheaval on TF1
The plot of ” Here It All Begins” takes a dramatic turn this week on TF1, marked by unprecedented tensions, unexpected revelations, and decisions that could redefine the future of several key characters at the Auguste Armand Institute. This new episode, dense and emotionally charged, promises to shake viewers as alliances break, truths are revealed, and hearts are broken.

From the very first scenes, the tone is set: something important is about to happen. In the training kitchen, a heavy atmosphere settles among the students. Glances are exchanged, words are held back, and everyone seems on edge. Antoine, observant and worried, senses that something is eluding him. He questions Claire, who shares his feeling: the Institute has never seemed so fragile, nor so divided. Recent events have left their mark, and some students still haven’t come to terms with the administration’s decisions.
Meanwhile, Constance, usually calm and kind, is going through a period of profound self-doubt. Tensions at home with Emmanuel Teyssier are becoming increasingly apparent. The authority of the Institute’s iconic leader is beginning to waver in the face of criticism from those close to him and his accumulated fatigue. Even his students, accustomed to his strictness, are noticing that something is amiss. Teyssier, for his part, continues to put on a brave face, but behind his facade of unquestionable authority, a sense of unease is growing. An unexpected event will turn everything upside down: an incident during a class calls into question his teaching methods.
Meanwhile, Carla, still reeling from recent emotional wounds, tries to rebuild her life. But her explosive temper resurfaces when Bérénice returns to the Institute. The two young women, once close, come face to face after months of silence. Their reunion is tense, fraught with unspoken resentments and bitterness. Bérénice, determined to move on, didn’t expect to be greeted with such coldness. Carla, for her part, barely conceals her anger and sense of betrayal. This confrontation foreshadows a series of clashes where buried resentments threaten to resurface.
But the real shock of the episode came with an official announcement from the administration. Gathered in the amphitheater, the Institute community listened attentively to Antoine. His usually calm voice betrayed an unusual emotion. He informed the students and teachers that a major change was about to be implemented: an internal reform aimed at redefining the school’s pedagogy. Some teachers would have to revise their teaching methods, some modules would be eliminated, and some positions could be cut. The news hit like a bombshell.
The reactions were immediate. Teyssier exploded, accusing Antoine of betraying the very spirit of the Institute. Claire tried to calm things down, but the tension only escalated. Some students, like Jasmine and Jim, saw this change as an opportunity to learn differently, while others, like Carla and Bérénice, saw it as a threat to their future. The discussions became heated, and factions formed. The unity of the Institute seemed more fragile than ever.
In the corridors, whispers are multiplying. Who supports this reform? Who opposes it? Rumors speak of a deep disagreement between Antoine and Teyssier, to the point that the latter is considering temporarily resigning. Constance, a helpless witness to the deterioration of their relationship, tries to reason with her husband, but Teyssier remains steadfast in his position: for him, this reform is an insult to everything he has built.
Meanwhile, the students are also experiencing a crisis of confidence. Between broken friendships, thwarted ambitions, and new rivalries, everyone is trying to come out on top. Penelope, for example, finds herself caught in a dilemma: remain loyal to her friends or support the reform that could finally allow her to stand out. Lionel, for his part, tries to mediate, but quickly discovers that it’s impossible to please everyone.
Léo and Gaspard, still reeling from recent events, must also contend with this new reality. Their friendship, already severely tested, risks not surviving these upheavals. Léo, true to his principles, supports the idea of a fairer and more transparent Institute, while Gaspard sees this reform as a betrayal of traditional values. Their exchanges become strained, and a rift seems inevitable.
Tensions reach a fever pitch when Teyssier calls an impromptu meeting in the kitchens. Before the students and faculty, he delivers a scathing speech, reminding them that the Armand Institute has never needed reforms to shine. His passion, charisma, and anger captivate the audience. But Antoine, determined to see this through, calmly retorts: the world of gastronomy is evolving, and the Institute must evolve with it. This verbal duel, as symbolic as it is brutal, marks a turning point. For the first time, Teyssier seems to waver in the face of such direct opposition.
As the day draws to a close, a sense of uncertainty hangs in the air. Some students are already thinking of leaving, others of fighting for their place. Constance, meanwhile, fears that this professional crisis will destroy her marriage. And in the shadows, an unexpected figure may well be pulling the strings behind these upheavals: a mysterious investor, whose name is beginning to circulate among the teachers.
This new episode of Here It All Begins offers an explosive mix of drama, emotion, and suspense. Amid rivalries, soul-searching, and power struggles, each character is confronted with their limitations. The Institute, a place of excellence and passion, becomes a battleground where everyone must choose sides. Viewers, however, are in for even more surprises: behind this anticipated upheaval, an even more unexpected revelation could forever redefine Auguste Armand’s future.
