Here It All Begins (spoiler): What is Fleur hiding from Josephine? – Episode of November 3

The November 3rd episode of Here It All Begins promises to be explosive and emotionally charged, with a new secret poised to shake the convictions of many characters. At the heart of the plot is Fleur , whose increasingly strange behavior fuels the suspicions of her daughter, Joséphine . As the young woman tries to understand what her mother is hiding from her, family tensions resurface, and long-buried truths threaten to come to light.

For several days, Josephine had noticed a subtle but constant change in Fleur’s behavior. Usually frank and expressive, the chef seemed more distant, preoccupied, almost withdrawn. During classes at the Institute, she lost her train of thought, avoided certain topics, and clammed up as soon as anyone asked about her personal life. Even Clotilde and Antoine were worried: something wasn’t right.

For Josephine, the situation is becoming unbearable. She senses that her mother is lying to her, but doesn’t know why. And the more she tries to talk about it, the more Fleur withdraws. One morning, seeing her slip discreetly away from the Institute with a file under her arm, Josephine decides to follow her. The young woman then discovers that Fleur is going to a law firm in Sète and that she spends over an hour there. When she leaves, she seems distraught.

Back at the Institute, Josephine confronts her mother:
“ You’re hiding something from me, Mom. Why did you go see a lawyer?”
Fleur tries to avoid the question, but her daughter’s gaze never leaves her.
“ It’s nothing important, just an administrative formality.”
But Josephine doesn’t believe her. She has learned to detect meaningful silences, shifty glances. Something serious is afoot.

Meanwhile, Teyssier , ever the watchful observer, notices Fleur’s unusual nervousness. During a conversation in the kitchen, he provokes her:
” You’re losing your edge, Fleur. You should know that a chef doesn’t hide her weaknesses.”
Fleur replies sharply, but it’s clear she’s unsettled.

The mystery deepens when Josephine overhears her mother talking on the phone to someone in the hallway, in a low voice:
” I told you I’d take care of it. But if she finds out the truth, it’ll all be over.”
These chilling words sow doubt in Josephine’s mind. What truth is she talking about? And above all, who is this mysterious caller?

As the hours pass, the tension mounts. Josephine confides in her friend Souleymane , who encourages her to search for answers without rushing. But her curiosity quickly gets the better of her: while rummaging through her mother’s bag, she discovers an old photograph of Fleur, an unknown man… and a baby in her arms. On the back of the photo, an inscription reads: “For you, the day you know.”

The shock is immense. Josephine confronts her mother again, this time directly:
” Who is this man? Why have you never told me about him?”
Fleur, taken aback, hesitates for a long time before answering.
” It’s complicated, Josephine. You wouldn’t understand.”
But the young woman insists, anger simmering on the surface. Fleur finally blurts out:
” This man… he’s your father.”

But this revelation, far from bringing peace, plunges Josephine into a whirlwind of emotions. She thought she knew her story, but discovers that her mother lied to her her whole life. Worse still: Fleur confesses that her biological father isn’t dead, contrary to what she had always led her to believe. He lives nearby, and that’s precisely why she saw a lawyer again: she wanted to settle some legal matters before he tried to get back in touch.

But Fleur is hiding yet another, even heavier secret. This father, Damien , is not unknown to some at the Institute. A former Michelin-starred chef, he reportedly left the scene after a scandal that cost a kitchen assistant his life in a restaurant fire. To prevent this story from resurfacing and tarnishing Josephine’s career, Fleur chose to remain silent.

Meanwhile, the rumor mill is churning. Clotilde overhears a conversation between the students and realizes that something personal of Fleur’s is threatening to tarnish the school’s reputation. She confronts the headmistress:
” You can’t let your private life interfere with your position here. If something comes to light, the entire image of the Institute will be at risk.”
But Fleur, hurt by this lack of support, replies coldly:
” It’s not my past that threatens the Institute, Clotilde, it’s your hypocrisy.”

Meanwhile, Josephine, distraught, decides to meet her father in secret. She obtains his address through a contact and goes to a small seaside restaurant. There, she discovers a tired man, marked by the years, but whose gaze betrays a deep tenderness. The encounter is intense, awkward, but sincere. Damien explains his side of the story:
” I didn’t start the fire. I was wrongly accused. Fleur knows that. She asked me to disappear to protect you.”

These words change everything. Josephine understands that her mother may not have acted out of betrayal, but out of fear. Fear that she would grow up in shame, fear that she would lose her place at the Institute.

Back at school, she confronts Fleur one last time. The two women clash in a scene of rare intensity.
— “You could have trusted me!”
— “I wanted to protect you, Josephine. I knew that if you learned the truth, you would try to see him again, and it would all start over.”
— “It’s not up to you to decide my life!”

The words sting like knife blows. Fleur, in tears, finally admits that Damien was the great love of her life, but that their relationship was destroyed by the lies and pressures of the gastronomic world.

The episode ends with the viewer in suspense: Josephine, distraught, leaves the Institute to get some distance, while Fleur remains alone in the empty kitchen, devastated, clutching the photo of Damien and the baby. In the final shot, she whispers:
” I lied to you for your own good… but I’ve lost everything.”

This cliffhanger sets the stage for an emotionally charged sequel, where secrets from the past will threaten the already fragile balance of the Institute. Fleur will have to face the consequences of her choices, while Josephine, in her quest for truth, may discover that some family wounds never truly heal.
