“Here it all begins: what awaits you in episode 1297 on Friday, October 31, 2025 [SPOILERS]”

The October 31, 2025 episode of Here It All Begins promises to be explosive and emotionally charged. After several days of waiting and tension, a major return, secrets revealed, and crucial choices will turn the lives of the students and teachers at the Auguste Armand Institute upside down. While the kitchens buzz with preparations for Halloween, alliances are forged and broken, and some hearts ignite under the pressure.

From the very first minutes, the tone is set: the day begins in an atmosphere of excitement. Bérénice, focused on a practical exercise, struggles to hide her anxiety. Her dessert, an autumnal entremet made with pumpkin and hazelnut, attracts the attention of her classmates. Carla tries to reassure her, but her own worries seem to be haunting her. For the past few days, she’s been hiding something from Bérénice, a secret that could well change the dynamic of their partnership. The friendship that bound them seems fragile, and their legendary bond threatens to crumble.

Meanwhile, in the halls of the Institute, a rumor is spreading: Teyssier is back . Some students don’t dare believe it, while others are already rejoicing. The memory of the charismatic leader, both tyrannical and visionary, remains vivid. His prolonged absence had allowed other figures to emerge, notably Antoine and Claire, but Teyssier’s return promises to shake things up.

Antoine, for his part, is far from out of the woods. Since the previous day, he has received an enigmatic message from Constance announcing “big news.” The deputy director quickly realizes it’s about Emmanuel, but doesn’t know how to react. The chief’s return risks reigniting old tensions and calling into question the decisions made during his absence. Claire, meanwhile, remains cautious. She knows that Teyssier never does anything by chance and that his return surely conceals a specific objective.

The atmosphere becomes even more tense when a group class is interrupted by the sound of sharp heels echoing in the corridor. Everyone freezes. The door opens. And there, like an apparition, Emmanuel Teyssier enters, his eyes shining with irony and self-assurance. Without a word, he observes the group, sizes up the new faces, then utters a cutting remark:

“I see you’ve survived without me… but at what cost?”

There was complete silence until a faint, nervous laugh rippled through the room. The tone was set. Teyssier was well and truly back, and he intended to reclaim the reins of his empire.

The shock of his return triggers a wave of panic. Some students fear his ruthless methods, while others are delighted to see the man who pushes everyone to excel. Hortense, emotional, confides in Mehdi her fear that this new phase will shatter the fragile balance they had regained. But Mehdi, more pragmatic, sees this return as an opportunity for progress: “With Teyssier, you don’t stagnate. You suffer, but you learn.”

Constance, for her part, makes no secret of her joy. Reuniting with her husband after weeks of uncertainty fills her with emotion. Yet, a shadow hangs over them: unspoken words remain between them. The couple, shaken by recent events, will have to learn to trust each other again. And this reconciliation, however sincere, will not be without its challenges.

Amidst this commotion, Bérénice catches Teyssier’s attention. When he tastes her Halloween dessert, the chef, true to his reputation, remains impassive for a few seconds before delivering a curt but fair verdict:

“It’s daring. Too sweet. But you have something… a real sensitivity. Don’t lose it.”

These few words deeply move Bérénice. She, who had doubted her own legitimacy, finally feels acknowledged. Carla, on the other hand, struggles to cope with the scene. Jealous and hurt, she leaves the room without a word. Her behavior catches Jasmine’s attention, who realizes something is wrong.

For his part, Louis never misses an opportunity to sow discord. Teyssier’s return threatens his position and influence at the Institute. He discreetly allies himself with Clotilde to try to maintain control of the most prestigious courses. Their duo, as formidable as it is unstable, is bound to cause sparks to fly.

That evening, an impromptu reception was organized to celebrate the chef’s return. The students decorated the room with a Halloween theme: sugar spiderwebs, carved pumpkins, and flamboyant cocktails. Behind the festive atmosphere, a palpable tension simmered. Teyssier observed everyone, scrutinizing their faces, noting their weaknesses. He was already preparing his next strategy.

During the evening, an unexpected moment changes everything. Constance takes the floor and announces that Emmanuel has not only returned to teach: he is officially resuming his role as head of the Institute. Reactions erupt: Antoine is speechless, Clotilde is furious, and some students applaud enthusiastically. The king has returned, and the throne is his once more.

But this news has immediate consequences. Antoine, wounded in his pride, considers resigning. Clotilde, humiliated, vows not to let it go. Behind the scenes, a new power dynamic is emerging. Teyssier, more clear-sighted than ever, knows he will have to face fierce opposition.

For Bérénice, this day will remain etched in her memory. Between admiration, emotions, and revelations, she understands that she has just reached a turning point. Observing Teyssier, she sees both a role model and a challenge. And what if, ultimately, her future at the Institute now depended on this unpredictable mentor?

As night falls on the school, shadows lengthen and secrets resurface. Isolated, Carla finally confides in Jasmine: she has made a momentous decision, one that will have far-reaching consequences for her future and Bérénice’s. Her confession, which closes the episode, hints at another dramatic turn of events.

And in Teyssier’s eyes, a glint shines: he is ready to take back control, no matter the sacrifices. The leader is back, more formidable than ever, and nothing will ever be the same again at the Auguste Armand Institute.
