Trigger the footable_expand_first_row event on the table to force the first expandable row to expand: 

$('table').trigger('footable_expand_first_row');

Then make a slight change by binding to the footable_breakpoint event, so that you force the first row to expand when a breakpoint is hit: 

$('table').bind('footable_breakpoint', function() {
    $('table').trigger('footable_expand_first_row');
});
