Here it all begins from October 14: Carla goes too far, Bérénice leaves! [SPOILERS]

The October 14, 2025 episode of Here It All Begins promises to be a real turning point for the students of the Auguste Armand Institute. Between betrayals, raw emotions, and unexpected breakups, the tension rises a notch and upsets the already fragile balance. At the center of this storm: Carla , whose impulsive choices will cause an earthquake. Her attitude, as excessive as it is uncontrollable, pushes Bérénice to the limit and leads to a series of irreversible decisions. This new episode reveals a dark side of Carla and places viewers in front of a dilemma: should we still understand her, or finally condemn her?

It all begins in the kitchen, where the atmosphere is electric. The students are preparing for a new culinary challenge under the supervision of Clotilde and Teyssier . But very quickly, professionalism gives way to personal tensions. Bérénice, visibly nervous, tries to concentrate, while Carla, true to herself, can’t help but make numerous cutting remarks. For several days, a gap has grown between the two young women. Their former complicity has transformed into a succession of misunderstandings and hurt feelings. This morning, Carla crosses a new line.

When the group is set to present a shared dish, Carla decides to impose her vision without considering the others. Bérénice tries to stall, but runs into a wall of pride. Words overtake thoughts, gestures become heated, and the atmosphere becomes tense. Teyssier, a lucid spectator, observes the scene without immediately intervening. He knows that this kind of confrontation reveals true temperaments. Yet even he didn’t expect the emotional violence that was about to erupt.

During the tasting, everything collapses. Carla, refusing to take responsibility for her mistakes, blames Bérénice. Her tone is sharp, hurtful, almost cruel. In front of everyone, she humiliates her classmate by insinuating that she was never good enough to be here. An icy silence fills the room. All eyes turn to Bérénice, who takes the blow without responding, her face frozen. Her heart breaks. Clotilde tries to calm things down, but Teyssier cuts in coldly: “Here, we learn rigor, not cruelty.” Her words resonate heavily, and for the first time, Carla seems unsettled.

The day goes on, but nothing is the same. Bérénice isolates herself in the gardens of the Institute, seeking a little air to stifle her anger and pain. Her friend Vic , worried, comes to meet her. The two share a moment of truth: Bérénice admits that she can no longer stand this toxic relationship with Carla, whom she has tried to understand, to forgive, but that she feels drained. She confides that, for some time now, Carla has not looked at her in the same way—with tenderness, yes, but also with a form of jealousy and possessiveness that she can no longer bear.

Meanwhile, Carla, consumed by misplaced pride, tries to justify her behavior. To Souleymane , she claims she just wanted to “provoke a reaction.” But this time, no one defends her. Even the usually kind Souleymane makes her understand that she has gone too far. The young woman finds herself face to face with herself, caught in a spiral of self-destruction. Her inner wounds, often masked by her arrogance, resurface. Behind her mask of toughness, we perceive an immense fear of abandonment.

That evening, an impromptu dinner brings the students together, but the atmosphere remains tense. Bérénice arrives late, quieter than ever. Conversations stop when she announces her decision: she’s leaving the Institute. Shock runs through the room. Vic tries to hold her back, but Bérénice no longer wants to endure humiliations or feel like a stranger in a place that’s supposed to inspire her. Her words, full of tenderness and pain, break the hearts of those who listen to her. Even Teyssier, seemingly impassive, seems affected by this departure.

Carla, however, remains frozen. Her eyes search for Berenice’s, but the latter looks away. “I loved you too much to continue letting myself be destroyed,” she whispers to her, before turning on her heel. These words resonate like a sentence. For the first time, Carla understands that she has lost everything. Her anger, her pride, everything collapses in a second.

In the empty corridors, Carla wanders, unable to hold back her tears. She thinks back to all those shared moments, to that close friendship that has turned into a field of ruins. Her reflection in the window sends back the image of a girl she no longer recognizes. She wants to apologize, but it’s too late. Bérénice has already packed her suitcase.

For her part, Bérénice confides in Vic that she has found a place in another establishment. She wants to start anew, far from the turmoil and pain of the past. Her decision is firm, even if her gaze betrays immense sadness. She doesn’t blame Carla, but she can no longer bear this destructive relationship. “I have to escape before I don’t recognize myself anymore,” she whispers.

The next morning, at sunrise, Bérénice leaves the Institute. No one dares to stop her. Her departure marks the end of a chapter, but also the beginning of a soul-searching for all those she leaves behind. Carla, discreetly posted behind a window, watches her walk away, unable to utter a word. This silence is heavier than any scream.

The episode ends with a poignant scene: Carla, alone in the kitchen, remakes the dish they had imagined together. Her gestures are hesitant, her gaze blank. When she tastes the dish, a tear falls into the sauce. It’s the perfect metaphor for her downfall: the bitter taste of regret.

This October 14th , Here It All Begins marks an episode of rare intensity. Beneath its culinary drama, the drama explores the twists and turns of friendship and emotional pain. Carla, a complex and often provocative character, crosses a line of no return, losing the one who still believed in her. As for Bérénice, she proves that sometimes you have to leave to rebuild yourself.

Fans of the series will be in no doubt: this episode will leave a lasting mark on the heroines’ journey. The glances, the silences, the hurtful words—all contribute to a climate of rupture and catharsis. And in Carla’s blank stare at the end, we read not only the grief of a lost friend, but also the announcement of a coming metamorphosis. The calm before the storm, perhaps…
