00:00:38I am the Bastion at your boat right now!

00:00:41One word for me, your interest is poison!

00:00:57Enough!

00:00:58Vic!

00:01:02Mia, Japanese Indigo.

00:01:04Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.

00:01:08Pauline, and Liz Vultures.

00:01:15Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.

00:01:1928 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.

00:01:2327 now.

00:01:25Tick tock.

00:01:26Tick tock.

00:01:27I'll go back to the clock.

00:01:28Tick tock!

00:01:30Tick tock!

00:01:31End them. Crisis averted.

00:01:48I swear to God, you are not human.

00:01:5027 minutes.

00:01:52Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in.

00:01:55This will shatter every record.

00:02:01Bec, are you okay?

00:02:07Just Braxton Hicks, nothing too.

00:02:12Oh my God, your water broke.

00:02:20Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?

00:02:26Multitasking is my superpower, Pumpkin?

00:02:31Dad called. He wanted to know if we should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges and he decided that his assistance then was more comfortable than ours.

00:02:43That's my girl.

00:02:44Well, the company's yours now, Holly.

00:02:55But there's a condition.

00:02:59We need to slash costs.

00:03:01Immediately.

00:03:03Layoffs.

00:03:07Nothing without leave.

00:03:08Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.

00:03:13Well, just remember, we'll ever clean up that Milan disaster and get immunity.

00:03:19In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.

00:03:26No way this Victoria went or saved the company since she's not even there.

00:03:30Boss, the Milan collection crisis, a burden.

00:03:38Pre-orders are pouring in.

00:03:40You saved the entire collection?

00:03:42Impressive.

00:03:43Oh, Ashley.

00:03:45How about I make you the new creative director?

00:03:47Starting today.

00:03:50Oh my God, is this really happening?

00:03:53She's offering Victoria's job?

00:03:55I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?

00:04:03But, Victoria...

00:04:05Don't worry about her.

00:04:06You're not useless.

00:04:07I'm going to set a fire.

00:04:13You know that collection I just rescued, Ab?

00:04:16I hid something in the design.

00:04:19Your initials and no little graces.

00:04:23Who have written the fabric?

00:04:24And that's going to give him a long runaway?

00:04:32Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.

00:04:35Enough for your full tuition and private school.

00:04:38Mom, you may have to.

00:04:40We're going to that private school.

00:04:42No discussion.

00:04:44Your sister and I will manage just fine.

00:04:47This job will keep us afloat.

00:04:49I love you, Mom.

00:04:50Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?

00:05:05After all these years in your shadow, Victoria,

00:05:08I'm finally taking what I deserve.

00:05:10Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.

00:05:27Victoria Wintour is terminated.

00:05:41Effective immediately.

00:05:42You can't just do that.

00:05:45She's in the hospital, him and her baby.

00:05:47They're a loss against this.

00:05:49Vic worked while in labor.

00:05:52She's a creative backbone of his own niveau.

00:05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance.

00:05:57These preggos are bleeding us dry.

00:06:01Everything okay here?

00:06:05Great timing.

00:06:07Victoria Wintour, you're fired.

00:06:09Clear out your desk now.

00:06:20You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?

00:06:23I saved this company three times when your father could have been here.

00:06:27Three times.

00:06:30Well, that's ancient history.

00:06:34The word was fresh blood.

00:06:35And I'm eager to save the entire long duration.

00:06:43What?

00:06:44I'm the one who...

00:06:45Me or you...

00:06:49Feel that curve.

00:06:52That's her signature.

00:06:54That's what makes it me as a mother.

00:07:00How could you?

00:07:01I taught you everything you know.

00:07:05I wish things were different, Vic.

00:07:14I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.

00:07:23What happens to my team?

00:07:25Miranda pulled all of matters for a month straight,

00:07:28working on your father's exclusive collections.

00:07:31Things are so bad, she had to get hair, implants.

00:07:34Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.

00:07:40These jobs are their lifelines.

00:07:42Health insurers, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.

00:07:45You can't just throw them away.

00:07:47Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.

00:07:51No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection today.

00:07:54And that's corporate America for you.

00:07:57Or, we can shift the math.

00:08:00You sign.

00:08:01They stay.

00:08:03The budget works out.

00:08:05Think of it as...

00:08:08Taking one for the team.

00:08:10Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.

00:08:14And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.

00:08:16They can't lose their jobs.

00:08:22Come on, Vic.

00:08:23Because they don't care about them.

00:08:25Prove it.

00:08:26What are they doing?

00:08:41Erik?

00:08:47If it's not...

00:08:48Definitely.

00:08:48It's not that you cough.

00:08:48Or they pause it.

00:08:49But it's...

00:08:50Turn it up.

00:08:50Your father could just...

00:08:51Do it.

00:08:51What if it stops you?

00:08:52And they see him.

00:08:52I'm cold enough to Yin,

00:08:52when they see him.

00:08:52It doesn't keep you alive.

00:08:53Maybe he waits.

00:08:53Of course.

00:08:54This is...

00:08:54Hi Fred, that's my severest package after 15 years, that's what I'm worth to-

00:09:06Careful, I got you.

00:09:24Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?

00:09:32Hi. High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?

00:09:47So, it's true, the great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single handedly saving

00:09:55we saw in the Loyal's Mulan collection.

00:09:59How do you feel about not having to answer to single minded executives anymore?

00:10:07Some of your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.

00:10:11What are you getting at exactly?

00:10:15I'm talking about you and me. Partners, you're genius, my money.

00:10:23No corporate BS, no one holding you back.

00:10:27I found a baby to think about now.

00:10:33And I have an empty corner office with you and an attached nursery.

00:10:37Just saying.

00:10:41Vincent Chevalier, wow.

00:10:43You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin and our corporate nemesis thrown into the office.

00:10:51Got your spider?

00:10:53Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria that you're a soft landing, triple her salary, corner office.

00:11:05You know, before the vultures at Elvie or Chanel swooping.

00:11:09Oh, so you're dumpster diving now, rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas?

00:11:16It's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.

00:11:22I mean the jacket, it's Victoria's spring collection, right?

00:11:27The earrings, it's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.

00:11:30If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.

00:11:36Shit, shit, shit.

00:11:38What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this.

00:11:47Actually, those were my designs.

00:11:53What did you just say?

00:11:54The spring collection.

00:11:56The Cartier pieces.

00:11:58I designed them.

00:12:00Under your supervision of course, but they came from me.

00:12:03Oops, looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.

00:12:08I thought you were better than this, Mia.

00:12:12Let explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.

00:12:17So what, sketches get past her all the time, it doesn't free the squat.

00:12:24Maybe she was in the middle, what did they call it?

00:12:28The dress designer?

00:12:30And the logo?

00:12:32The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.

00:12:37It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.

00:12:40Mommy, explain it.

00:12:42Baby, shut up.

00:12:43It's funny.

00:12:44All those pieces, with the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their world.

00:12:49They all have EW and GW's so good too.

00:12:51Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.

00:12:53Her newborn is Grace Winter.

00:12:55It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.

00:12:58Is there a special EW and GW in your lot too?

00:13:13Well Mia, tell them.

00:13:15Tell them you designed this.

00:13:17Tell them you saved Milan.

00:13:19The logo, it's...

00:13:22It's adapted based on traditional motifs.

00:13:26You lying little bitch!

00:13:28Black Motions are saving the company.

00:13:35Look at the logo again.

00:13:37It's not EW or GW.

00:13:40It's actually two Ms.

00:13:43M.M.

00:13:44For McMichael, my last name.

00:13:49See?

00:13:51One M flipped.

00:13:52One upright.

00:13:53It's not for Grace or Emily.

00:13:56It's mine.

00:13:58That is absolutely ridiculous.

00:14:01Oh my god, she's right.

00:14:03It does look more like two Ms.

00:14:06You manipulate me.

00:14:09She really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.

00:14:12You learned well, Mia.

00:14:15Maybe two up.

00:14:17You'll regret this.

00:14:21Mom, it's very cool.

00:14:23We don't have to say today.

00:14:25Okay.

00:14:26Let me drive you home, okay?

00:14:28I have for hours outside.

00:14:30I got this, you shouldn't be carrying anything.

00:14:33I can't go.

00:14:34I can't go.

00:14:35I can't go.

00:14:36I can't go.

00:14:37Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.

00:14:42Just take care of my honor, Paul.

00:14:44Yeah.

00:14:47That's right, get the hell out of my company.

00:14:50Go lead your 401k somewhere else.

00:14:58Paul and Victoria.

00:15:02VIP invitation, Paris Fashion Week.

00:15:05Front row, I think you'll find it.

00:15:08Enlightening.

00:15:12Every pregnant woman fired.

00:15:19All of us.

00:15:21Just like that.

00:15:23No severance.

00:15:24No warning.

00:15:25Nothing.

00:15:26But a box of insecurity, Esker.

00:15:33Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.

00:15:37For the termination people want to practically pay for your sign.

00:15:40The phone is like wearing a star.

00:15:42Now, I'm out here slashing with you.

00:15:44Your designs are eerily lighted.

00:15:46Oh my god, Mom.

00:15:47This is insane.

00:15:48I can't believe we're actually here.

00:15:49Victoria Winter.

00:15:50The nuclear dick.

00:15:52Your mom's basically a legend.

00:15:53You know that, right?

00:15:54Yeah.

00:15:55We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Marisol Leval.

00:15:56Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.

00:15:57Wait.

00:15:58Maison Leval?

00:15:59Well, well.

00:16:00The Queen of Leval.

00:16:01The Queen of Leval.

00:16:02Well, well.

00:16:03The Queen of Leval.

00:16:04The Queen of Leval.

00:16:05The Queen of Leval.

00:16:06The Queen of Leval.

00:16:07The Queen of Leval.

00:16:08The Queen of Leval.

00:16:09Oh my god, Mom.

00:16:10This is insane.

00:16:11I can't believe we're actually here.

00:16:12Victoria Winter.

00:16:13The nuclear dick.

00:16:14Your mom's basically a legend.

00:16:15You know that, right?

00:16:16Yeah.

00:16:17We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Marisol Leval.

00:16:18Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.

00:16:21Wait.

00:16:22Maison Leval?

00:16:25Well, well.

00:16:26The Queen of Leval.

00:16:27The Crown traces us all of her presents.

00:16:29Great of you to show up here.

00:16:31What's next?

00:16:32Applying for retail jobs at the mall?

00:16:34um...

00:16:35Leaving so soon

00:16:38You haven't introduced me to your princess.

00:16:41She's onega1000 Terra don't deliver a little career update

00:16:44about getting a can for not cutting it anymore.

00:16:49Mom, is that true?

00:16:51Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.

00:16:58Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter. Still pretending she matters.

00:17:07My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.

00:17:10If Ms. Unable is putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe deserves to crush and burn!

00:17:17Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.

00:17:21Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.

00:17:25That's got a sting, huh? Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid and worships you like some kind of hero?

00:17:32Hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.

00:17:37If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.

00:17:41That's enough.

00:17:43That's enough.

00:17:47You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.

00:17:52Look at her. A jobless, single mom still pretending she can afford couture.

00:17:58That dress, it's a cheap knockoff.

00:18:03Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week is not just pathetic.

00:18:07It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.

00:18:13What the hell do you think you're doing?

00:18:16Remove that dress.

00:18:19We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.

00:18:23Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!

00:18:26Let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.

00:18:29Take your hands off her now.

00:18:34Vincent...

00:18:40You're dismissed.

00:18:49You're alright?

00:18:54You're alright?

00:18:55Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chamellier.

00:18:59The reclusive leader who never shows up anywhere?

00:19:02What the hell is he doing with Victoria?

00:19:06That knockoff?

00:19:08That you're so eager to trash her for?

00:19:11It's Chauvenne.

00:19:13But Couture, Winter Collection.

00:19:16Not even released yet.

00:19:18Price tag?

00:19:20300,000.

00:19:21Wow!

00:19:23You gave her that.

00:19:24That's right.

00:19:26I did.

00:19:28I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.

00:19:32Oh my god, everyone missed result.

00:19:35Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy!

00:19:38Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.

00:19:41He's in the walking trust fund.

00:19:44Victoria's leaving her way to the top.

00:19:47It's just so predictably desperate.

00:19:50You really don't understand real talent.

00:19:56Do you?

00:19:58For those of you who don't know me,

00:20:00I'm Vincent Chamellier.

00:20:02CEO of Chamellier.

00:20:03CEO of Chamellier.

00:20:06And yes.

00:20:08I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.

00:20:12I have followed your career from a distance for years.

00:20:15Your brilliance.

00:20:17Your principles.

00:20:19Your passion.

00:20:21Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.

00:20:25Mom, did you know about this?

00:20:26I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.

00:20:31But in the meantime, what I will do is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.

00:20:39She won't let you down, boss.

00:20:40You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier. She's nothing but a has-been.

00:20:48The show's about to start.

00:20:51Your seats are waiting.

00:20:53Okay.

00:20:58Holy shit.

00:21:00The industry, gold boy and the creative powerhouse, together?

00:21:03I'm talking about a power couple.

00:21:05Making all the entire industry.

00:21:08This isn't over, bitch.

00:21:10Wait till we see what I've prepared for.

00:21:11I've been in love with my mom since high school.

00:21:21So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?

00:21:28Some talents.

00:21:30You recognize me.

00:21:33Some people do.

00:21:35Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.

00:21:44This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.

00:21:47She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.

00:21:52It's true.

00:21:54She took my work and passed it off as her own.

00:21:56I slaved away on those designs, day and night.

00:22:00And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.

00:22:09That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?

00:22:12Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.

00:22:16That's enough, Holly.

00:22:19Everyone thinks you're a miscreative genius, but I know who you really are.

00:22:23Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.

00:22:26Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?

00:22:31That's her real design strategy.

00:22:34Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.

00:22:36And those kids she's so proud of, who knows who their real fathers are.

00:22:41How dare you!

00:22:46Miss Jenkins, this is reckless.

00:22:48It's a disaster in there.

00:22:50There's something wrong with the collection.

00:22:51It's the fabric.

00:22:52It's the fabric.

00:22:54Not now.

00:23:00The primary fabrics are disintegrating into the lights.

00:23:03The dresses are literally falling apart.

00:23:06But we've only got 50 minutes lost until showtime.

00:23:09Is this some kind of sick joke made on the wall?

00:23:11Are you canceling the show because you're incompetent?

00:23:14This is completely unprofessional.

00:23:15I have 10 million invested in this collection.

00:23:20This is breach of contract!

00:23:24It's actually fixable.

00:23:27Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.

00:23:33Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.

00:23:35Masonville 4 appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.

00:23:39Sources say the entire collection need to cancel, minutes before showtime.

00:23:43The question on everyone's mind?

00:23:45Is this the end for the once prestigious fashionverse?

00:23:52This show doesn't happen.

00:23:54You're personally liable for the Breach Antis.

00:23:56We're talking building school.

00:23:59Buildings.

00:24:24Now!

00:24:26How?

00:24:27The fiber supplier must have sent us defective materials.

00:24:31I can't magically make redresses in an hour.

00:24:34You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.

00:24:38If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.

00:24:42That's billions of dollars.

00:24:45Then you better figure something out.

00:24:47Because if you don't, I'm already fired.

00:24:50I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.

00:24:56Miss Winter, how do you respond to accusations over design theft?

00:25:07Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?

00:25:11Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.

00:25:14And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.

00:25:18We're gathering evidence as we speak.

00:25:20Excuse me.

00:25:21Excuse me.

00:25:22Excuse me.

00:25:23It's okay.

00:25:24It'll be alright.

00:25:25What do you want in me?

00:25:26What do you want in me?

00:25:28Vic, I really need your help.

00:25:29Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.

00:25:30Look.

00:25:31I know you're furious.

00:25:32I'll make sure you don't get hurt.

00:25:33You don't want to get hurt.

00:25:34I'm sorry.

00:25:35I'm sorry.

00:25:36It's okay, mom.

00:25:37I'll be alright.

00:25:43What do you want in me?

00:25:50Vic, I really need your help.

00:25:52Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.

00:25:55Look, I know you're furious.

00:25:59I would be too. But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.

00:26:04What about them?

00:26:05Their jobs are on the line with this show.

00:26:07If we tank, they're done. Holly will fire them without a second thought.

00:26:12Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just don't hold this out with you.

00:26:18Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.

00:26:21Yes, absolutely. And they're counting on this being a hit.

00:26:25Please, not for me. For that.

00:26:29That's weird.

00:26:30I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.

00:26:35What exactly happened to them, Mia?

00:26:40They... they couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.

00:26:45Is that right?

00:26:47Toria, I know I don't deserve your help.

00:26:52They do.

00:26:54Fine.

00:26:57I'll help.

00:26:58But I'm doing this to Miranda and Pauline.

00:27:00Not for you.

00:27:13Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter.

00:27:15The Nuclear Vic.

00:27:17I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric. Now.

00:27:20I need royal fuchsia for this stitching. Regular fuchsia won't work with this fabric. Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?

00:27:33Do you miss work?

00:27:34Vincent? How did you...?

00:27:35I figured you might need some supplies, so... I had my assistant bring over Javen as an emergency kit.

00:27:39This is perfect, but...

00:27:40The Javen have made some of our competitors. Why would you help them?

00:27:45I'm not helping them.

00:27:46I'm not helping them. I'm helping you.

00:27:47I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return. I have a design I've been saving.

00:27:48Something special I've never shown anyone. It's yours now.

00:27:49It's yours now.

00:27:50I don't want you to do this without giving me something in return.

00:27:52I don't want you to do this without giving me something in return. I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone. It's yours now.

00:27:57but if you're men and Maison Lavo are competitors,

00:28:01why would you help them?

00:28:04I'm not helping them.

00:28:07I'm helping you.

00:28:09I can't ask you to do this

00:28:10without giving me something in return.

00:28:12I have a design I've been saving.

00:28:14Something special I've never shown anyone.

00:28:17It's yours now.

00:28:20I don't want your design, Victoria.

00:28:23Then what do you want?

00:28:26You.

00:28:28What?

00:28:33You're a talent.

00:28:34You're a vision.

00:28:36Come and work as you are.

00:28:39I'm in.

00:28:40I'll work for you.

00:28:42Just like that?

00:28:43Just like that.

00:28:44Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Lavo.

00:28:52I hate it when I'm coming through

00:28:56I wish I was cool.

00:28:58I wish I was cool.

00:28:59Like that it was cool.

00:29:00I regret it.

00:29:01I regret it, so I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get it out

00:29:05I won't be bad, don't let me change

00:29:10I'm gonna be proud of my name

00:29:14She's doing a mince, but would've taken us hours

00:29:19Whoa, no wonder they call it a nuclear bitch

00:29:23It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing

00:29:27The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur

00:29:31Learn how to be myself

00:29:34Five minutes till showtime, we made it

00:29:38Well, do we pull the plug or not?

00:29:54We're good, everything's back on track

00:29:56See?

00:29:58I knew firing Victoria was the right call, you've got twice your talent

00:30:03Yeah, right

00:30:05This is exactly why I promoted you

00:30:08Any big sizes cannot make them

00:30:10To Victoria, the real hero of the night

00:30:21Mom, you're insane, I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour

00:30:36Couldn't have done it without you

00:30:38You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance

00:30:45Well, well, still hanging around

00:30:46I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party

00:30:47Fraud

00:30:48Holly, why didn't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?

00:30:49What are you talking about?

00:30:50Just ask the models, any of them

00:30:52Any of them

00:30:53Oh, and Mia, don't forget about our agreement

00:30:55About Miranda and Pauline

00:30:56I know

00:37:29It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.

00:37:34Got it.

00:37:35Grace is napping for the perfect timing.

00:37:37Thanks, sweetie.

00:37:38I just need to double check with you, brother.

00:37:44Shoulder destruction.

00:37:47Mom, are you okay?

00:37:53Miranda?

00:37:55Vic?

00:38:00Mom, Mom, what's going on?

00:38:03Emilia, I'll call you right back.

00:38:06Miranda, what happened?

00:38:08Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?

00:38:10Bill's don't pay themselves.

00:38:12You met my husband.

00:38:14Old child with no paycheck.

00:38:16And now there's a newborn at home.

00:38:18Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.

00:38:23But isn't the story she's spinning now?

00:38:27Mia?

00:38:28After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.

00:38:33No severance, no copper, nothing.

00:38:36Just gone.

00:38:37That's completely illegal.

00:38:39Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.

00:38:45All at once.

00:38:46All at once.

00:38:47What are the odds, right?

00:38:49And Polly?

00:38:50Parking nine shifts at 24 hours down here.

00:38:54Her sister medical bills keep piling up.

00:38:57And Mia knew about all this.

00:39:04Mia.

00:39:05Front row seat when Hal made an announcement.

00:39:09Didn't blink.

00:39:11To be said by her shiny new creative director title.

00:39:15She's been using you and Polly to manipulate me.

00:39:19Telling me her job depended on me helping her.

00:39:22What?

00:39:23That bitch!

00:39:28This ends now.

00:39:35Damn it!

00:39:40Ms. Cycle, this is a ride from Milan.

00:39:43We need approval lighting for that.

00:39:45Can't you see I'm working on something important?

00:39:52What are you all looking at?

00:39:53Get back to work.

00:39:54Victoria never shoots.

00:39:55I heard that.

00:39:56You think Victoria is so perfect?

00:39:57Then where is she now?

00:39:58Gone.

00:39:59Now I'm in charge.

00:40:00And if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.

00:40:01What is she actually doing?

00:40:02what is she doing?

00:40:03What is she doing?

00:40:04What is she doing?

00:40:05What is she doing?

00:40:06What is she doing?

00:40:07What is her?

00:40:08What the hell is going on here?

00:40:09I'm just a great disagreement.

00:40:11Everything's unruly full.

00:40:12To the Gotham page.

00:40:13Tell me it was something fun.

00:40:14And then there's the other one.

00:40:15What is it?

00:40:17My girl can't go hungry.

00:40:18Oh, that's it.

00:40:19What is this?

00:40:20No.

00:40:21I'm not.

00:40:23I have a go.

00:40:24I feel so good for you.

00:40:25What's wrong here?

00:40:26Just a great disagreement. Everything's in control.

00:40:30The gossip page. Tell me it was something presentable.

00:40:37Of course, I'm just finalizing the details.

00:40:39Show me.

00:40:41It's not quite ready for-

00:40:42Now.

00:40:48This is garbage.

00:40:50Absolute garbage!

00:40:52I just need a little more time.

00:40:54I don't have more time. This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.

00:40:57If she then gets this deal instead of us...

00:41:03What's that?

00:41:09It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.

00:41:14I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil,

00:41:17get me a way to design it tomorrow morning,

00:41:20or pack up your desk by lunch!

00:41:24I still can't believe a mutinous leverage.

00:41:25I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.

00:41:53Right on cue.

00:41:58Meet that sketch ASAP.

00:42:01Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.

00:42:04The absolute nerve of this woman.

00:42:09She'll get her sketch.

00:42:11And that's the one who's putting the trap.

00:42:23You're early.

00:42:25Vic, I really need that sketch.

00:42:32I said I'd help, not hand over my design.

00:42:39Polly's all over me about this.

00:42:41If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.

00:42:46Still lying, Mia.

00:42:48You'd never learn.

00:42:50Guess it's payback time.

00:42:52So, do you want my help or not?

00:42:54I can walk you through it.

00:42:56Your design could be just as good.

00:42:58She's such a snake.

00:43:00Vic, my stomach is killing me.

00:43:04Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?

00:43:07Fine.

00:43:08Don't touch anything.

00:43:11I'm sorry, Mia.

00:43:25Survival of the Bitz.

00:43:39You just let her take your work?

00:43:53She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.

00:43:58You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.

00:44:02Go after the same clients.

00:44:04Show them what real design looks like.

00:44:07We're not out yet.

00:44:09Or there's a revolution room.

00:44:27I figure you can use all the backup you can get.

00:44:32You're welcome, Mom.

00:44:33I want you and your team as your men.

00:44:42Full creative control.

00:44:45I'm Miranda.

00:44:46Your husband's debt.

00:44:48Handled.

00:44:49And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.

00:44:52Mr. Chevalier, I...

00:44:55I'm Pauline.

00:44:57Your sister is in good hands.

00:45:00The best heart surgeon in the country.

00:45:02She's already prepping for her next surgery.

00:45:05Mr. Chevalier!

00:45:07Thank you!

00:45:08Don't thank me.

00:45:10Thank Victoria.

00:45:11I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.

00:45:13Vincent, I...

00:45:16I don't even know what to say.

00:45:20It's about time.

00:45:21You all get what you deserve.

00:45:25I don't know.

00:45:27I don't know.

00:45:28I don't know.

00:45:29I don't know.

00:45:30I don't even know what to say.

00:45:30It's about time.

00:45:32You all get what you deserve.

00:46:34You've got Grace to sleep.

00:46:42Yeah.

00:46:44And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.

00:46:49Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.

00:46:52Remember, it's in my right back to make history.

00:47:03Maison Laveau sets the bar.

00:47:06We don't follow trends, we create them.

00:47:09Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Metcalfe moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.

00:47:23I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.

00:47:26What is that bitch doing here?

00:47:38Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.

00:47:42My company's thriving because of your generosity.

00:47:48Didn't expect to see you here.

00:47:50You thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.

00:47:56I multitask.

00:47:58Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.

00:48:01You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.

00:48:07The office is so empty, it echoes.

00:48:10And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.

00:48:15Proud of the woman in Tokyo, 3X employees and I'm the CEO.

00:48:19I don't know, what's next?

00:48:20The base sale?

00:48:23Laugh all you want, Holly.

00:48:24You're about to see what real T-Mart looks like.

00:48:27And what real loyalty looks like.

00:48:42Sean, glad you could make it.

00:48:44We have something very special to show you.

00:48:49Vic, I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl.

00:48:56You never know.

00:48:57Congratulations.

00:48:58Thank you, Sean.

00:49:00It's good to see you.

00:49:02Let's begin the pitches.

00:49:05You ready to lose?

00:49:06You're out of your league.

00:49:08You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.

00:49:11First up, me and McMichael.

00:49:20Maison Laveau.

00:49:20Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.

00:49:41Beautiful work.

00:49:52Both pools.

00:49:57We'll need a few minutes to discuss.

00:49:59After careful consideration, we're awarding Project 2.

00:50:10Maison Laveau.

00:50:12Oh, shit!

00:50:13Oh, my God.

00:50:15Of course.

00:50:16This is what we planned all along.

00:50:19Was it?

00:50:19What the hell did you people put me in?

00:50:31Are you trying to kill me?

00:50:33Mr. Galsing has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.

00:50:36Who designed this tuxedo?

00:50:37Did you even read the brief?

00:50:39I mean, you must have read the brief.

00:50:44It's not complicated.

00:50:46It says no synthetic blends.

00:50:49I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.

00:50:52Perhaps Mia overlooked something.

00:50:54A mistake?

00:50:55I could have been looking at the emergency room.

00:50:58Victoria, please, tell these amateurs how you pulled your ass.

00:51:09I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.

00:51:15I'd never risk Mr. Galsing's health for a deadline.

00:51:18And that's why Victoria is the best.

00:51:20She actually pays attention.

00:51:22After reviewing all the entries, the committee has reached a decision.

00:51:26The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.

00:51:32Mr. Galsing was just a slip-up.

00:51:35He's designed as a front runner all along.

00:51:38That's why they picked her first.

00:51:43Maybe everyone should see this.

00:51:50Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?

00:51:58Not to me, Lowe.

00:51:59Even for you.

00:52:04Nathan Lowe will be hearing from my ladders.

00:52:08And so you know,

00:52:09I will be supporting Victoria's case for this like that.

00:52:15We thought Lowe's reputation is toast.

00:52:18We're suspending all collaborations.

00:52:21Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.

00:52:34You're blacklisted.

00:52:34Victoria, please.

00:52:48Victoria, please.

00:52:50I'll do anything.

00:52:53Please just help me save the company, the brand you built for 15 years.

00:52:57You made your choices, Holly.

00:52:58You made your choices, Holly.

00:52:59Now you live with them.

00:53:00Now you live with them.

00:53:02Wow, you went too far.

00:53:04Sean Gauzing's look tonight is a game-changer crafted by the trailblazing team of Jo Men.

00:53:16Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.

00:53:20To the best comeback in fashion history, and to the women who made it happen.

00:53:33And to the maternity leave, it actually means something.

00:53:36Mom, you might want to see this.

00:53:42Happy Birthday, Victoria.

00:53:45Happy Birthday to you!

00:53:47Guys, look!

00:53:49Maison Lévoe on the Brink?

00:53:52Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.

00:53:55Oh, I see.

00:53:56Oh, look.

00:53:57I see this.

00:53:58Happy Birthday to you!

00:53:59Happy Birthday to you!

00:54:00Nice!

00:54:01Look!

00:54:02Nice!

00:54:03Look!

00:54:04Maison Lévoe on the Brink?

00:54:08Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.

00:54:11Ouch!

00:54:12I guess karma has a sense of humor.

00:54:15It's strange, isn't it?

00:54:18I gave them everything.

00:54:23Late nights, weekends, all the best years, and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.

00:54:30Now it's all crashing down, I thought I'd feel vindicated.

00:54:34But honestly, it's a weird mix.

00:54:37Relief?

00:54:38Relief?

00:54:39Sure.

00:54:40But also a little bit of grief.

00:54:41Look!

00:54:42Who said that our best years are behind us?

00:54:45Look at this!

00:54:46Jeven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.

00:54:53Victoria, this is you!

00:54:55You did this!

00:54:56Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.

00:55:03Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.

00:55:07Careful, Vincent.

00:55:09You must run out the best part.

00:55:11I...

00:55:12Victoria Winsor...

00:55:21Will you marry me?

00:55:25Yes!

00:55:26A thousand times yes!

00:55:30Yes! A thousand times, yes!

00:55:36Woo!

00:55:56And forever!

00:56:00You came. I thought you'd want to see me leave this.

00:56:17I came because I wanted to hear it from you.

00:56:21When word got out, you left. Clients bailed.

00:56:25The word freaked. Numbers taped. I couldn't stop it.

00:56:30You stood mace on the vote into this storm, Holly.

00:56:34I know. I know. My father. The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore. I destroyed everything.

00:56:49My thoughts slashed any costs and saved us, but instead I gutted the company.

00:56:57I didn't mean to pretend like this.

00:57:00I mean, I don't know if I wasn't dead. I bought it. Last week. The brand, the archives, even the debt. It's part of Jevan now.

00:57:12I mean, why would you do that?

00:57:16To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.

00:57:23You win, Victoria. To help you do better than I did.

00:57:28I'll do it differently. Goodbye, Holly.

00:57:33Miss Winter, I just... I want to thank you. Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave. I can keep working and...

00:58:01I want to thank you. Have a baby. You changed everything.

00:58:07Congratulations. Wishing you and your little one every happiness.

00:58:21Ready?

00:58:25Always.

00:58:31Especially taking a while.

00:58:32Push kind of flifting, Fro else it is Godidi.

00:59:43Happy birthday to you!

00:59:49Nice. Look!

00:59:53Maison Lévois on the brink?

01:00:57You must forgot the best part.

01:00:58Victoria Winter, will you marry me?

01:01:20Yes!

01:01:21A thousand times yes!

01:01:23Woohoo!

01:01:25How old are you?

01:01:27Take my heart, let go for your hands.

01:01:31I'll spend all my days just trying to find

01:01:41Where?

01:01:43Give me love and listen to me.

01:01:43Whatever!

01:01:45Do it for me, David?

01:02:45You made me pretend like this.

01:02:48Maison Lavao isn't dead. I bought it. Last week.

01:02:54The brand. The archives. Even the debt. It's part of Jevan now.

01:02:59If you'd be glad, why would you do that?

01:03:03To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.

01:03:10You and Victoria.

01:03:13They helped me do better than I did.

01:03:16I'll do it differently.
