Here It All Begins spoiler: Carla makes a shocking revelation (video episode of October 15)

The October 15th episode of Here It All Begins promises to be explosive and emotional. Within the Institute, the atmosphere is more electric than ever. Rivalries intensify, secrets crack, and in the midst of this tumult, Carla finds herself the center of attention. For the past few days, her behavior has been intriguing. More distant, more nervous, she seems to be hiding something important. What no one imagines is that this day will mark a decisive turning point in her life, and in the lives of everyone around her.

It all begins early in the morning in the Institute’s kitchens. The students are busy preparing an exceptional meal supervised by Clotilde and Teyssier. The atmosphere is studious but tense: one mistake, and an entire reputation is ruined. Carla, usually focused, makes a series of clumsy mistakes. She knocks over a pan, forgets a key ingredient, and loses track of the recipe. Her classmates, surprised, exchange worried glances. Billie approaches discreetly and whispers,
” What’s wrong with you, Carla? You’re not like your usual self…”
But Carla immediately closes up, visibly troubled.

A few hours later, the unease worsens. Clotilde summons her to speak with her. In her office, the tone is intended to be benevolent, but the headmistress can’t help but notice her student’s instability. Carla tries to justify herself, mentioning fatigue, stress, and evaluations. Yet, behind her words, we sense a growing tension. Something is eating away at her. Before leaving the room, Clotilde says something that will resonate throughout the episode:
” If you need help, come see me. But don’t keep anything to yourself.”

Meanwhile, in the cafeteria, Jasmine and Thibault are talking quietly. They’ve noticed Carla avoiding certain people, especially Berenice. The latter, hurt by this silence, decides to confront her. Their exchange, initially calm, quickly turns into an argument. Carla, on the defensive, finally blurts out a strange phrase:
” You don’t understand, everything I do is to protect myself.”
Berenice remains speechless, unable to understand the meaning of this statement.

As the day progresses, the atmosphere becomes increasingly tense. Teyssier, true to form, senses that something is brewing and doesn’t hesitate to drive the point home. During the next class, he calls out to Carla in front of everyone:
” When you put on an apron, you leave your personal dramas at the door. Otherwise, you’re not cut out for this job.”
Humiliated, Carla lowers her head. But instead of closing up, she seems about to explode.

Then an unexpected event turns everything upside down. A culinary journalist, invited to the Institute for a report on the new generation of chefs, interviews the students. When he addresses Carla, his question seems innocuous:
” What made you want to cook?”
But this sentence acts as a trigger. Repressed emotions suddenly resurface. Carla freezes, turns pale, and finally whispers:
” Because cooking is all I had left… after him.”

A deathly silence falls over the room. Everyone stares at her, stunned. Teyssier, intrigued, asks her to clarify. That’s when everything goes wrong: Carla, in tears, confesses that her past isn’t what she’d told her. She reveals that she lied about the identity of her biological father, and, more importantly, about the real reasons for her entry into the Institute. What she was looking for here wasn’t just a vocation… but answers.

As her classmates look on in shock, she confesses that her father, a renowned former chef, once worked alongside Teyssier before disappearing under mysterious circumstances. She joined the Institute in the hope of discovering what happened to him, convinced that someone here knows the truth.

The revelation comes as a bombshell. Teyssier, visibly shaken, tries to keep his composure. But his gaze betrays something: he knows. He recognizes the name Carla is saying, that of a man he once knew, and whose disappearance had caused much ink to flow. Doubt sets in: Is Teyssier somehow involved in this troubled past?

Clotilde intervenes to calm the situation, but it’s too late: the rumor spreads at lightning speed. In the hallways, the students comment on the scene, somewhere between compassion and suspicion. A distraught Bérénice tries to find Carla, who has isolated herself in the Institute’s grounds. There, out of sight, she breaks down. For the first time, she confesses everything to her friend: the lies, the fear, the shame. She explains that she had promised her mother never to reveal the truth, but that the pressure was becoming unbearable.

— “I couldn’t go on living as if nothing was happening. I had to speak out.”

This confession marks a turning point. Bérénice, touched, promises her support. But they are unaware that Teyssier is watching them from afar, looking somber. He knows that this revelation risks reopening old wounds, and that everything he’s tried to forget could resurface.

That evening, an emergency board meeting is convened. Antoine, Rose, and Clotilde debate what to do. Should Carla be punished for lying on her admissions file, or should she be protected? Rose pleads for compassion, while Teyssier remains silent. When he finally speaks, his words are sharp:
” What she said today must not leave this place. Otherwise, the entire Institute will pay the price.”

But behind the scenes, someone filmed the revelation. The video is already circulating online, promising to turn a simple episode into a national scandal.

The final sequence of the episode is poignant. Carla, alone in the dormitory, looks at an old, stained recipe book, a relic of her deceased father. She whispers,
” I told the truth, Dad. Now they’ll all know.”

Her face is a mixture of relief and apprehension. For while this truth may set her free, it also risks destroying everything: her position at the Institute, her friendships, and perhaps even the reputations of those she admires.

The curtain falls on a Carla more fragile than ever, but also more courageous. In the corridors of the Auguste Armand Institute, secrets never stay buried for long… and this revelation is only the beginning of a new storm.
