Here it all begins on October 21: Carla feels unwell, Bérénice gives up on the marriage! (summary + spoiler episode 1289)
In this heartbreaking episode of Here It All Begins , tensions reach a fever pitch at the Auguste Armand Institute. Just as everything seemed ready to celebrate Bérénice and Carla’s union, events take a dramatic turn. Emotions become entangled, truths emerge, and some characters find themselves confronted with their own limits. Nothing goes as planned, and the dream of marriage gradually turns into a nightmare.
For several days, Bérénice has been experiencing a real inner turmoil. While her love for Carla is beyond doubt, the young woman feels overwhelmed by doubt and fear. Between the pressure of marriage, the comments of others, and the wounds of the past resurfacing, Bérénice is beginning to lose her footing. Those around her try to reassure her, but the bride-to-be withdraws into silence, avoiding any direct confrontation. Constance, a privileged witness to this crisis, tries to understand what is really going on behind the young woman’s strained smile.
Meanwhile, Carla, still passionate and sure of her feelings, puts all her energy into the preparations. She wants everything to be perfect, even if it means exhausting herself. Her excitement contrasts sharply with Bérénice’s reserve. But behind her apparent enthusiasm, Carla also hides a great fragility. The last few days have been trying, and fatigue is making itself felt. Despite her body’s warning signals, she refuses to slow down. It’s a mistake for which she will soon pay dearly.
The long-awaited wedding day finally arrives. The Institute is buzzing with excitement. Students are busy, the decorations are lavish, and emotions are running high. Yet, in the shadow of this celebratory day, a dull tension is setting in. Bérénice doesn’t seem at ease, while Carla tries to hide her growing stress. A few minutes before the ceremony, an exchange between the two young women turns sour. Bérénice, overcome by panic, admits that she’s no longer sure she wants to get married. These unexpected and heartbreaking words are like a slap in the face for Carla.
Shocked, the latter tries to reason with her partner, but Bérénice remains firm. The words come out with difficulty, her voice trembles: she says she loves Carla, but admits she’s not ready to take such a big step. She wants time, she wants to understand what she really feels. Carla, devastated, refuses to believe it. Incomprehension gives way to anger and pain. The dream she’s been cherishing for weeks collapses in a matter of seconds.
Then the drama erupts: overcome with emotion, Carla collapses in front of everyone. Panic grips the Institute. The guests rush over, and Constance rushes to help her. The young woman’s condition worries everyone. Constance, an experienced nurse, manages to stabilize the situation, but she immediately realizes that the problem goes beyond simple stress. This discomfort may not be trivial, and Constance decides to talk to Rose about it, fearing that Carla’s condition is hiding something more serious.
Rose, overwhelmed by the situation, tries to remain calm and understand what is happening. She knows how difficult times Carla has been through and how much the pressure of marriage has weighed on her. But the prospect that her condition could be more serious worries her deeply. The relationship between Carla and Bérénice, already fragile, is then put to the test by this unexpected event.
Alongside this emotional tragedy, another conflict erupts at the Institute: Jim, always impulsive and ready to defend his own, violently attacks Ferdinand. The two men almost come to blows, as their classmates look on in shock. This altercation adds fuel to the fire in an already tense atmosphere. The tensions that have been building up for weeks finally explode, revealing buried grudges and poorly healed wounds.
As Carla slowly regains consciousness, Bérénice is overcome with guilt. She feels terrible for having hurt the woman she loves. With tears in her eyes, she tries to explain, but Carla, still weak, cannot listen. The gap between them now seems immense. The love they shared seems to be wavering, shaken by doubts, fears, and unspoken words.
Constance, for her part, wastes no time in alerting Rose. She insists on the importance of conducting tests on Carla, fearing that the malaise is only a symptom of a deeper disorder. Rose, visibly worried, takes stock of the situation. It’s no longer time for celebration, but for vigilance. She promises to keep a close eye on the young woman, even if it means temporarily putting the Institute’s business on hold.
Episode 1289 marks a turning point in the current storylines. The long-awaited wedding, a symbol of pure and sincere love, turns into a moment of pain and revelations. Bérénice, despite her remorse, remains convinced that she made the right decision. She doesn’t want to get married for the wrong reasons, even if it costs her heart. Carla, for her part, finds herself facing an immense void. Her certainties are crumbling, and she must now face a reality she refused to see: their relationship is going through a profound crisis.
Meanwhile, Jim and Ferdinand, though shaken by their confrontation, will also have to face the consequences of their actions. The Institute, a place of passion and learning, becomes more than ever the scene of the most intense emotions, where every choice has a price.
Between romantic disillusionment, unexpected unease, and explosive tensions, this episode promises to leave a lasting impression. Here It All Begins has never been so aptly named: after the chaos, a new phase begins for everyone. For Carla, Bérénice, Jim, Constance, and the others, nothing will ever be the same again.
