Ici tout commence: Hector and Anouk face relationship crisis

In the French series ‘Ici tout commence’, the competition for the title of world's best chef intensifies, placing significant strain on the relationship between Hector and Anouk.

During the episodes airing late October 2026, Hector suspects Anouk of having an affair with Matias Solerra after seeing them dancing closely. Although Matias clarifies he spent the night with Alice, the tension leads Anouk to suggest the couple take distance from one another to focus on the competition. Hector faces a dilemma, considering withdrawing from the contest to preserve their romance.

As the culinary competition progresses, Anatole Valon announces the theme for the second challenge: ‘A vision of the future of gastronomy’. Meanwhile, other characters face their own struggles, including Tom, who faces professional tension with Lionel and Mehdi, and Bakary, who finds pursuing Joséphine difficult.
