The storyline culminates in a heartfelt farewell as Jasmine prepares to leave with her child and her new love, Louis (played by Fabian Wolfrom), for Bordeaux. This Friday's episode, airing on August 7, 2026, promises to be an emotional rollercoaster for both the characters and viewers alike.

Benjamin Baroche's Sentiments on Zoï Séverin's Departure

In a touching tribute, Tom (Tom Darmon) organizes a farewell gathering for Jasmine, filled with speeches, laughter, and tears. Benjamin Baroche shared his thoughts on Zoï's journey in the series, stating, "Zoï, I’ve seen her grow in the show. She has a really interesting range of emotions and sensitivity. Her character, Jasmine, resonated well with the audience. To young actors around 25, I say: ‘Go for it! Take your chances. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Go, nourish yourselves!’ That’s exactly what the talented Zoï will do. It’s fantastic."

Is Jasmine's Departure Permanent?

While Jasmine's exit raises questions about her future in "Ici tout commence," Zoï Séverin has hinted that she may not be gone for good. Although she acknowledges that Jasmine's storyline is reaching a conclusion, she assures fans that there is still much more to explore. "I understand why people wonder about this, as Jasmine is at the end of a cycle, but she hasn't finished writing her story yet. There are still so many things to tell. However, she won’t be returning for the upcoming season, but that doesn’t rule out her comeback with new challenges that align with her growth as a talented chef at the Institut Auguste Armand," the actress concluded.

The drama of the chefs in "Ici tout commence" will continue on TF1 from Monday to Friday at 6:30 PM, even in Jasmine's absence. Episodes are available in advance or for free replay on the TF1+ platform.
