00:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the system crashed mid-upload.
00:14Half the collection is the wrong season.
00:16We're on everything.
00:18No.
00:21It's 48 hours.
00:23If production starts with these botched designs,
00:26we're all dead.
00:27Not just fired.
00:28We're dead.
00:30Company collapses.
00:31Our careers are over.
00:33Come out here and talk to us.
00:35We have eight million tied up in this collection.
00:37I have a fashion editor from Vogue.
00:39Right now.
00:40One word for me.
00:41You're injured some poison.
00:56Enough.
00:58Vic!
01:01Mia, Japanese indigo.
01:04Miranda, call production emergency protocol seven.
01:07Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:15Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:1828 minutes?
01:19The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2227 now.
01:23Tick tock.
01:24And done.
01:25Crisis averted.
01:27I swear to god.
01:28You're not human.
01:2927 minutes.
01:30Holy shit.
01:31Pre-orders are flooding in.
01:32This will shatter every record.

01:34You're not human.
01:3527 minutes.
01:36I swear to god.
01:37I swear to god.
01:38I swear to god.
01:39You're not human.
01:4027 minutes.

01:44This will shatter every record.
01:47I swear to god.
01:48I swear to god.

01:56I'm different.
01:57I swear to god.
01:58I swear to god.
01:59I swear to god.
02:00In fact, the avoidance becomes a man for their partner.
02:03Third on their lips saysromagnocation.
02:04I swear to god.
02:05I swear to god.
02:06I swear to god Alec.
02:07Any other words are Ian.
02:08I swear to god.
02:09The third on their lips who are inoniap and the Freeman's eyes are каким in Way.
02:10Did I swear again?
02:11Nah?
02:12Holmes, nope.
02:13Maybe.
02:14Dinh.
02:14Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:25Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:30Dad called.
02:31He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges
02:37since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:42That's my girl.
02:44Well, the company's yours now, Holly.
02:55But there's a condition.
02:58We need to slash costs immediately.
03:03Layoffs.
03:06Absent without leave.
03:09Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:12Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:19In fact, they deserve a promotion.
03:22No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:30Boss, the Milan collection crisis, averted.
03:37Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:39Ew, you saved the entire collection?
03:41Impressive.
03:42Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
03:50Oh my God, is this really happening?
03:53She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:55I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:03But, Victoria...
04:04Victoria...
04:04Don't worry about her.
04:06I'm not useless.
04:06I'm going to smell fire.
04:12You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:16I hid something in the design.
04:19Your initials and now little graces.
04:22I'll hold them right into the fabric.
04:24And that's going to give him a long runway?
04:32Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:35Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:38Mom, you may have to.
04:39You're going to that private school.
04:42No discussion.
04:44Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:46This job will keep us afloat.
04:49I love you, Mom.
04:54Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:05After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:24Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:35What the hell?
05:37Listen up, everyone.
05:38Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:41Effective immediately.
05:43You can't just do that.
05:45She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:47They're a loss against this.
05:49Vic worked while in labor.
05:51She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:57These preggos are bleeding us dry.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:05Great timing.
06:07Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:10Clear out your desk now.
06:12You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:23I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:27Three times.
06:30Well, that's ancient history.
06:34The board wants fresh blood.
06:36And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:39I'm the one who...
06:46Mia, you...
06:49Feel that curve?
06:52That's her signature.
06:54That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:00How could you?
07:02I taught you everything you know.
07:03I wish things were different, Vic.
07:15I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:18What happens to my team?
07:26Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight, working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:32Things got so bad, she had to get hair implants.
07:36Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:40These jobs are their lifelines.
07:42Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:45You can't just throw them away.
07:48Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:51No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection.
07:54But hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:57Or we can shift the math.
07:59You sign, they stay, the budget works out, think of it as taking one for the team.
08:11Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:14And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:17They can't lose their jobs.
08:22Come on, Vic.
08:24You say you care about them.
08:26Prove it.
08:29You say you care about them.
08:56You're, you're...
08:57You're...
08:58Five grand.
09:03That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:05That's what I'm worth to them.
09:20Careful.
09:22I got you.
09:28Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:32Hi.
09:35High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:47So, it's true.
09:51Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Mison LeBeau's Milan collection.
09:59How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:07Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:12What are you getting at exactly?
10:15I'm talking about you and me.
10:20Partners.
10:22You're genius.
10:23My money.
10:25No corporate BS.
10:27No one holding you back.
10:33I've got a baby to think about now.
10:36And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:39Just saying.
10:46Vincent Chevalier, wow!
10:48You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:54Got your spy here?
10:58Don't mind me.
10:59I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing.
11:03Triple her salary, corner office.
11:06You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:10Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:13Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:17Wow, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:21I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:28The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:31If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:38Shit, shit, shit.
11:40What are you talking about?
11:41Victoria designed all of this.
11:42Actually, those were my designs.
11:54What did you just say?
11:56The spring collection.
11:58The Cartier pieces.
12:00I designed them.
12:02Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:05Oops.
12:06Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:09I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:13Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:23So what? Sketches get passed around all the time. It doesn't prove squat.
12:27Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:31The dress designer?
12:33And the logo?
12:36The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
12:39It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:43Mom, Mia, explain it and make me shut up.
12:49It's funny.
12:51All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their life.
12:56They all have EW and GW so many, too.
12:59Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:02Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:04It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:10Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:14Well, Mia, tell them.
13:16Tell them you designed this.
13:18Tell them you saved Milan.
13:19The logo, it's, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:27You lying little bitch!
13:30That promotion was for saving the company.
13:33Look at the logo again.
13:38It's not EW or GW.
13:42It's actually two Ms.
13:45MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:49See?
13:51One M flipped, one upright.
13:55It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:57It's mine.
14:00That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:03Oh my god, she's right.
14:04It does look more like two Ms.
14:07You manipulative bitch.
14:08You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:14You learned well, Mia.
14:17Maybe too well.
14:19You'll regret this.
14:21Come on, Vincent.
14:22We don't have to sink to that level.
14:25Okay.
14:27Okay.
14:28Then let me drive you home, Karen.
14:30My Ferrari is outside.
14:32I got this.
14:33You shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
14:40Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:43Just take care of Miranda and Paulie, will you?
14:49That's right! Get the hell out of my company!
14:52Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:55Oh, I'm Victoria.
15:01VIP invitation, Paris Fashion Week.
15:06Front row.
15:08I think you'll find it.
15:10Enlightening.
15:11Every pregnant woman fired.
15:12All of us.
15:13Just like that.
15:14No severance.
15:15No warning.
15:16Nothing.
15:17But a box and a security escort.
15:18Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:19Their termination people weren't practically paid for your sign and bonus my writing star.
15:31Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
15:32Your designs are eagerly awaited.
15:33Should've kept your legs closed.
15:35Oh my god, Mom.
15:36Oh my god, Mom.
15:37Oh my god.
15:38Oh my god.
15:39Oh my god.
15:40This is insane.
15:41I can't believe we're actually here.
15:42Victoria Wintour.
15:43It's a nuclear Vic.
15:44Your mom's basically a legend.
15:45You know that, right?
15:46Yeah.
15:47Yeah.
15:48Yeah.
15:49Yeah.
15:50Yeah.
15:51Yeah.
15:52Oh my god, Mom.
15:53This is insane.
15:54I can't believe we're actually here.
15:55Victoria Wintour.
15:56It's a nuclear Vic.
15:57Your mom's basically a legend.
15:59You know that, right?
16:00Yeah.
16:01Yeah.
16:02Yeah.
16:03Yeah.
16:04Yeah.
16:05Yeah.
16:06Yeah.
16:07Yeah.
16:08Yeah.
16:09Yeah.
16:10Yeah.
16:11Yeah.
16:12Yeah.
16:13Yeah.
16:14Yeah.
16:15We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
16:18Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:23Wait.
16:24Maison Léveau?
16:27Well, well.
16:28The queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
16:31Brave of you to show up here.
16:33What's next?
16:34Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:38Leaving so soon?
16:39You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:42Because Mommy Dearest filled you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore.
16:50Wait.
16:51Mom, is that true?
16:52Don't worry.
16:53She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:00Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
17:03Still pretending she matters.
17:09My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:12If Maison Léveau is putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:19Well, look at that.
17:20It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:23Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:26That's got a sting, huh?
17:28Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero.
17:33But hey, good news.
17:35There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:39If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:43That's enough.
17:44That's enough.
17:48That's enough.
17:50You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:52You never belonged in this world.
17:55Look at her.
17:56A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:00That dress.
18:02It's a cheap knockoff.
18:06Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:09It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:15What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:18Remove that dress.
18:21We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:25Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:28Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:32Take your hands off her now.
18:36Vincent.
18:42You're dismissed.
18:44You all right?
18:45You all right?
18:46I'm sorry.
18:47Jesus Christ.
18:48That's Vincent Chevalier.
18:50The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere.
18:52What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
18:53What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
18:54That knockoff that you're so here to trash her for?
19:00It's Chauvenne.
19:02Votte Couture.
19:03Winter Collection.
19:05Not even released yet.
19:06Price tag?
19:07$300,000.
19:08Wow!
19:09You gave her that.
19:10That's right.
19:11You did.
19:12I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:13Oh my God!
19:14Everyone mystery solved.
19:15Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:17Mr. Billionaire is not a white knight.
19:18He's her walking trust fund.
19:19Oh my God!
19:20I'm sorry.
19:21I'm sorry.
19:22I'm sorry.
19:23I'm sorry.
19:24I'm sorry.
19:25I'm sorry.
19:26I'm sorry.
19:27I'm sorry.
19:28You did.
19:31I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:35Oh my God!
19:36Everyone mystery solved.
19:37Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:41Mr. Billionaire is not a white knight.
19:43He's her walking trust fund.
19:47Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:50It's just so predictably desperate.
19:53You really don't understand real talent.
19:58Do you?
20:00For those of you who don't know me.
20:03I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:05CEO of Joven.
20:08And yes.
20:10I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:14I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:18Your brilliance.
20:20Your principles.
20:21Your passion.
20:22Victoria there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:27Mom?
20:28Did you know about this?
20:30Now I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:34But in the meantime what I will do.
20:37Is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:41She won't let you down boss.
20:46You're making a complete ass of yourself Chevalier.
20:48She's nothing but a has-been.
20:51The show is about to start.
20:53Your seats are waiting.
20:59Holy shit.
21:01The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:05Talk about a power couple.
21:07They could run the entire industry.
21:08The industry.
21:10This isn't over bitch.
21:12Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:13So you've seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:14You've been in love with my mom since high school?
21:18Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:19Some people too.
21:20Ladies and gentlemen.
21:21Before we kick off tonight's show I have an important announcement.
21:23This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:25She's been stealing designs from my creative director for the show.
21:26She's been in love with my mom since high school.
21:28But we have a lot of people who want to be in love with my mom since high school.
21:30So you've seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:31Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:34Some people too.
21:35Some people, too.
21:41Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:46This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:49She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:55It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:59I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
22:03And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:12That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:15Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:19That's enough, Holly.
22:22Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:26Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:29Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:35That's her real design strategy.
22:37Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:39And those kids she's so proud of?
22:41Who knows who their real fathers are.
22:45How dare you!
22:49Miss Jenkins. Missing Michaels.
22:51It's a disaster in there.
22:53There's something wrong with the collection.
22:55It's the fabric.
22:56Not now.
23:02The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:06The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:09We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:12Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Moval?
23:14Are you cancelling the show because of your incompetence?
23:17This is completely unprofessional.
23:19I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:23This is breach of contract!
23:26It's actually fixable.
23:30Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping you backstabbing vultures.
23:36Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:39Maison Moval appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:42Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled minutes before showtime.
23:46The question on everyone's mind, is this the end for the once prestigious fashion house?
23:55This show doesn't happen.
23:57You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
24:00We're talking billions, Holly.
24:02Billions.
24:03Billions.
24:03Billions.
24:16What's this?
24:28Now.
24:30How?
24:30The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:34I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:37You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:40If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:45That's billions of dollars.
24:48Then you better figure something out.
24:50Because if you don't, not only are you fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
24:55Miss Winter, how do you respond to accusations over design theft?
25:11Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:15Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:18And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:21We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:35Excuse me.
25:38Excuse me.
25:39It's okay, punk.
25:41I'll be right back.
25:47What do you want, Mia?
25:51Vic, I really need your help.
25:56Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
26:00Look, I know you're furious.
26:03I would be too.
26:05But think about Miranda and Philippe for a second.
26:08What about them?
26:09Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:12If we tank, they're done.
26:13Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:15Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just put this out here.
26:22Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:25Yes, absolutely.
26:26And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:29Please, Vic, not for me.
26:32For them.
26:33For you.
26:33I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.
26:38What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:44They...
26:44They couldn't make it.
26:46Holly cut the travel budget.
26:49Is that right?
26:50Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
26:56They do.
26:58Fine.
27:00I'll help you.
27:02But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
27:04Not for you.
27:16Oh my God.
27:17It's Victoria Winter.
27:19The Nuclear Vec.
27:20I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric.
27:23Now.
27:30I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:33Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:35Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:41Would this work?
27:42Vincent, how did you...
27:50I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
27:57This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Lavo are competitors.
28:04Why would you help them?
28:07I'm not helping them.
28:10I'm helping you.
28:11I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:15I have a design I've been saving.
28:18Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:21It's yours now.
28:22I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:26Then what do you want?
28:29You.
28:32What?
28:32You're a talent.
28:38You're a vision.
28:40Come and work as Joven.
28:43I'm in.
28:44I'll work for you.
28:46Just like that?
28:47Just like that.
28:49Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Lavo.
28:52I hate it when I'm gone.
29:00I wish I was cool.
29:02Like the new girl at school.
29:05I regret it.
29:06So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get it.
29:09I want me back.
29:12Don't ever change.
29:15I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:20She's doing it in minutes.
29:21What would have taken us hours?
29:24Whoa.
29:25No wonder they call her the nuclear Vick.
29:27It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:31The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:39Five minutes till showtime.
29:41We made it.
29:47Woo!
29:51Well, do we pull the plug or not?
29:57We're good.
29:58Everything's back on track.
30:00See?
30:01I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
30:04You've got twice her talent.
30:07Yeah.
30:08Right.
30:08This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:11You fix this, it's not make them.
30:20To Victoria.
30:23The real hero of the night.
30:24Mom, you're insane.
30:37I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:40I couldn't have done it without you.
30:42You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office bromance.
30:54Well, well, still hanging around.
30:56I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
31:00Fraud.
31:02Holly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:06What are you talking about?
31:07Just ask the models.
31:09Any of them.
31:12Oh, and Mia.
31:13Don't forget about our agreement.
31:15About Miranda and Pauline.
31:17I won't.
31:23Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:32Speaking of new beginnings.
31:33Emily's private school application is to do next month, right?
31:39I want to help.
31:41With her education.
31:42What?
31:44Vincent, that's too much.
31:46We barely know each other.
31:48Victoria.
31:50I've known you since we were 17.
31:53I remember
31:54watching you win that regional competition.
31:58In that silver dress.
32:00The one you made from scratch.
32:02I saw
32:03the way your eyes lit up
32:05when you talked about
32:06changing the fashion world.
32:09You remember that.
32:11I remember everything.
32:14I
32:14have followed your career
32:17all these years,
32:18just
32:19hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:22Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:24We were married.
32:25And then you weren't.
32:29And then you were building your career.
32:32Timing was
32:33never right.
32:36Until now.
32:37I have been waiting
32:4720 years to do this.
32:49I should
33:03probably get this.
33:05Mia.
33:14God, I was so right
33:19about firing Victoria.
33:21That Milan disaster
33:22you turned around,
33:23absolute magic.
33:25And now I have an opportunity
33:26that could put you
33:27on the map for good.
33:29Sean Gosling
33:29needs a tuxedo
33:30for the Oscars' red carpet.
33:34Sean Gosling?
33:36The Sean Gosling?
33:37The very one.
33:39Three-time Oscar winner,
33:40People's Sexiest Man Alive,
33:42and if we play our cards right,
33:44the next face,
33:45the Maison LeBeau is a man's wear.
33:47They're taking pitches now.
33:49If he picks yours,
33:51this changes everything.
33:52For you.
33:53For the brand.
33:54Where it is,
33:55Joven's in the running too.
33:57Lanthus,
33:59Vincent,
33:59and these four Victoria
34:00are done.
34:05Seal the deal?
34:06I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:08I've got this, Holly.
34:10You won't regret it.
34:18God, what am I gonna do?
34:20I can't design menswear.
34:22I barely pulled off
34:23the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:25Miranda and Pauline are gone too.
34:27I'm completely on my own.
34:30If Holly bought
34:32that I saved Milan
34:33and fixed Paris
34:35when it was
34:35all Victoria,
34:37maybe I can squeeze
34:39one more miracle over her.
34:48Ooh.
34:48Thanks for meeting me.
35:03I know things are
35:04complicated between us.
35:05You mentioned Miranda
35:06and Pauline.
35:08Cut to the chase.
35:12We're pitching for Sean's
35:13Oscar tax.
35:14Miranda and Pauline
35:15are also on the team.
35:16Miranda's excellent
35:17with menswear.
35:18She can handle this without me.
35:19Please, wait.
35:19There's more to it.
35:21After Paris,
35:22Holly needed someone
35:23to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:25Miranda and Pauline
35:26are on the chopping block.
35:28I've been fighting for them.
35:30Are you serious?
35:31Pauline's due any day now.
35:33Trust me.
35:34I know.
35:34This project is our only shot.
35:36If we land it,
35:37I can convince Holly
35:38to keep them both.
35:39Have you worked
35:40to Sean before?
35:41No,
35:42but I've heard you have.
35:44Ages ago.
35:46I did a jacket frame
35:47for the Met Gala.
35:49Actually,
35:49I was sketching
35:50a new tuxedo concept
35:51right before I left
35:52Maison L'Hôme.
35:53Really?
35:54What concept?
35:59Well...
35:59Perfect.
36:14She's handing everything over
36:15without even realizing.
36:17I'll use her design
36:18to save my ass
36:19and lay on this project.
36:21Do you still have
36:22any of the sketches somewhere?
36:25I do.
36:27Actually,
36:27I took them with me
36:29when I left Maison L'Hôme.
36:31Wait.
36:33Miranda went on
36:34maternity leave last week.
36:35How exactly
36:36is she part of this project?
36:38Well,
36:39since she's the best
36:40menswear designer we have,
36:42Holly's letting her work
36:43from home.
36:44Is the company
36:45covering her health insurance?
36:47Of course, Vic.
36:49Pauline and Miranda's
36:51jobs are on the line here.
36:55I need to lead body.
36:57Take all the time
36:58you need.
36:59Mia,
36:59don't make me regret
37:02trusting you.
37:03Again.
37:21Pumpkin,
37:22I need a quick favor.
37:24Remember that
37:25tuxedo sketch I was working on
37:26before everything
37:27went sideways?
37:28The Sean Gosselin one
37:29with the black
37:30satin lapels?
37:31That's the one.
37:32Can you check my home office?
37:34It should be
37:34in the portfolio
37:35marked
37:36Men's Formal 2025.
37:38Got it.
37:40Grace is napping.
37:40The perfect timing.
37:42Thanks, sweetie.
37:43I just need to
37:43double check something
37:44about the...
37:45shoulder.
37:49Instruction.
37:50Mom, are you okay?
37:53Mom, are you okay?
37:57Miranda?
37:59Vic?
38:04Mom, mom,
38:05what's going on?
38:08Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:11Miranda, what happened?
38:13Why the hell
38:13are you scrubbing toilets?
38:15Bills don't pay themselves.
38:17You met my husband,
38:19old child with no paycheck,
38:21and now there's
38:22a newborn at home.
38:23Mia said you were
38:24on maternity leave
38:25working remotely
38:26on the gossling project.
38:28What?
38:28Is that the story
38:30she's spinning now?
38:33After you left,
38:35she fired every
38:36pregnant woman
38:37in the company.
38:38No severance,
38:39no copper,
38:39nothing.
38:40Just gone.
38:42That's completely illegal.
38:44Company lawyers
38:46said that we all
38:46suddenly violated
38:47some buried
38:48performance clause.
38:50All at once.
38:51What are the odds, right?
38:53And Polly,
38:55parking night shifts
38:56at 24 hours time here.
38:57her sister
38:59medical bills
39:00keep piling up.
39:06And Mia knew
39:07about all this.
39:09Mia,
39:10front row seat
39:12when Holly
39:12made an announcement.
39:14Didn't even blink.
39:16Too busy admiring
39:16her shiny new
39:18create and direct
39:19in the title.
39:20She's been using
39:21you and Polly
39:22to manipulate me,
39:24telling me her draw
39:25depended on me
39:26helping her.
39:26what?
39:28That bitch!
39:31This ends now.
39:39Damn it!
39:44Miss Michael,
39:46he's just arrived
39:46from Milan.
39:47We need approval
39:48by name for them.
39:50Can't you see
39:50I'm working
39:51on something important?
39:52What are you all
40:02looking at?
40:03Get back to work!
40:05Victoria would never
40:05treat us.
40:08I heard that.
40:10You think Victoria
40:11is so perfect?
40:13Then where is she now?
40:14Gone.
40:15Now I'm in charge
40:16and if anyone
40:17has a problem with that,
40:18there's the door.
40:19Well, at least
40:20she could actually
40:21design her.
40:27What the hell
40:28is going on here?
40:29Just a great
40:31disagreement.
40:32Everything's under control.
40:33The Gosling page.
40:34Tell me you have
40:35something presentable.
40:40Of course,
40:40I'm just finalizing
40:41some details.
40:42Show me.
40:44It's not quite ready.
40:45Now.
40:51This is garbage.
40:54Absolute garbage.
40:55I just need
40:56a little more time.
40:57We don't have more time.
40:58This is Sean Gosling
40:59we're talking about.
41:01If Shoufeng
41:01gets this deal
41:02instead of us.
41:06What's that?
41:07It's just some
41:14inspiration
41:14I recorded
41:15for the design.
41:18I don't care
41:19if you have to
41:19sell your soul
41:20to the devil,
41:21get me it
41:21when you design me
41:22tomorrow morning,
41:23or pack up
41:24your desk by lunch.
41:29Mama.
41:30Mama.
41:30Mama.
41:32Mama.
41:32Mama.
41:32Mama.
41:33Mama.
41:33Mama.
41:34Mama.
41:34Mama.
41:34Mama.
41:34Mama.
41:35Mama.
41:35Mama.
41:35Mama.
41:36Mama.
41:36Mama.
41:37Mama.
41:37Mama.
41:37Mama.
41:49I still can't believe
41:50I'm using this
41:51as leverage.
41:57Right on cue.
42:01Meet that sketch
42:02ASAP.
42:04Miranda and
42:04Pauline's futures
42:06depend on it.
42:07the absolute
42:08nerve of this
42:09woman.
42:12She'll get her
42:13a sketch.
42:14And that's
42:14where we spring
42:15the trap.
42:29You're early.
42:30Vic,
42:30I really need
42:32that sketch.
42:32I said I'd help,
42:41not hand over my design.
42:43Holly's all over me
42:45about this.
42:46If I don't have
42:47something tonight,
42:47Miranda and Pauline
42:49are toast.
42:51Still lying,
42:52Mia.
42:53You never learn.
42:54Guess it's payback time.
42:56So,
42:57do you want my help
42:58or not?
42:59I can walk you through it.
43:00Your design
43:01could be just as good.
43:03She's such a snake.
43:05Ugh!
43:06Vic,
43:07my stomach
43:07is killing me.
43:08Can you run to the
43:09pharmacy and get
43:10something, please?
43:12Fine.
43:13But don't touch
43:14anything.
43:14I don't touch anything.
43:14Sorry,
43:41the survival
43:42of the fittest.
43:43You just let her
43:56take your work?
43:58She walked out
43:58with exactly what
43:59I wanted her to have.
44:03You know,
44:04boss,
44:04we could pitch ourselves,
44:06go after the same clients,
44:09show them what real
44:09design looks like.
44:12We're not out yet.
44:13or there's a revolution room.
44:32I figure you can use
44:33all the backup
44:34you can get.
44:35I want you
44:43and your team
44:44as your van.
44:47Full creative control.
44:50I'm Miranda.
44:51Your husband's debt
44:52handled.
44:54And every casino
44:55in the country
44:56has been told
44:57he's not welcome.
44:57Mr. Chevalier,
45:00I'm Pauline.
45:02Your sister
45:03is in good hands.
45:05The best
45:06heart surgeon
45:06in the country.
45:07It's already prepping
45:08for her next surgery.
45:10Mr. Chevalier,
45:11thank you.
45:14Don't thank me.
45:15Thank Victoria.
45:16I'm just looking out
45:17for the people
45:18she believes in.
45:18Vincent, I...
45:21I don't even know
45:23what to say.
45:25It's about time
45:26you all get
45:27what you deserve.
45:28I don't even
45:29you all get
45:43until you
45:50are
45:52can
45:53tell
45:54you
46:24And you're still here?
46:38Final tweaks.
46:39The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:44You've got Grace to sleep.
46:48Yeah.
46:50And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:54Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:06We're about to make history.
47:10Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:13We don't follow trends.
47:15We create them.
47:16Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:30I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:33What is that bitch doing here?
47:46Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:50My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:55I didn't expect to see you here.
47:58I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:05Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:09You know, Holly, your fresh-blood strategies work in wonders.
48:15The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:18And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:23Pregnant women talk, you know.
48:25Three ex-employees and I'm the CEO.
48:27What's next?
48:28A fake sale?
48:30Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:32Today, you're about to see what real teamwork looks like and what real loyalty looks like.
48:51Sean, glad you could make it.
48:53We have something very special to show you.
48:58Vic.
49:02I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:06Congratulations.
49:07Thank you, Sean.
49:08It's good to see you.
49:10Let's begin the pitches.
49:13You ready to lose?
49:15You're out of your league.
49:17You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:28First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:48Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:51Beautiful work.
50:02Both teams.
50:07We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:08After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...
50:20Maison Laveau.
50:21Oh, my God.
50:24Of course.
50:26This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:29What the hell did you people put me in?
50:42Are you trying to kill me?
50:44Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:47Who designed this tuxedo?
50:48Did you even read the brief?
50:50I mean, you must have read the brief.
50:55It's not complicated.
50:57It says no synthetic blend.
51:00I mean...
51:01It must be some kind of mistake.
51:03Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:05A mistake?
51:06I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:09Victoria, please, tell these amateurs
51:13why you pulled your last design.
51:23I pulled my design
51:24because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:27I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's help for a deadline.
51:30And that's why Victoria's the best.
51:33She actually pays attention.
51:34After reviewing all of the entries,
51:37the committee has reached a decision.
51:38The commission goes to
51:40Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:42It's okay.
51:45Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:48Mia's design was the front runner all along.
51:50That's why they picked her first.
51:55Maybe everyone should see this.
52:03Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:08That's a new low.
52:14Even for you.
52:18Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:23And so you know,
52:24I will be supporting Victoria's case
52:27for design theft.
52:30Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:33We're suspending all collaborations.
52:35Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:48You're blacklisted.
52:54Victoria, please.
52:55Victoria, please.
53:09I'll do anything.
53:10Please just help me save the company,
53:12the brand you built for 15 years.
53:14You made your choices, Holly.
53:17Now you live with them.
53:20You finally went too far.
53:22Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game-changer
53:31crafted by the trailblazing team at JoVen.
53:34Social media is already calling it
53:35the Winter Revolution.
53:37To the best comeback in fashion history
53:52and to the women who made it happen.
53:55And to the maternity leave
53:57that actually means something.
53:58Mom, you might want to see this.
54:14Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:18Happy birthday to you!
54:20Happy birthday to you!
54:24Guys, look!
54:26Maison Laveau on the brink?
54:30The scandal pushes fashion giant
54:32towards bankruptcy.
54:34Ouch!
54:35I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:38It's strange, isn't it?
54:47I gave them everything.
54:49Late nights, weekends,
54:51all the best years,
54:53and they tossed us aside
54:54like we were nothing.
54:55Now it's all crashing down.
54:58I thought I'd feel vindicated.
55:00Honestly, it's a weird mix.
55:03Relief?
55:04Sure, but also a little bit of grief.
55:07Look, who said that our best years
55:09are behind us?
55:11Look at this!
55:12Jevain pushes for paid leave
55:16and parental support
55:17across all industries.
55:19Victoria, this is you!
55:21You did this!
55:23Here's to a future
55:25where women don't have to choose
55:27between their families
55:28and their careers.
55:29Not just for us,
55:30but for every woman
55:31who comes after.
55:33Careful, Vincent.
55:35You almost forgot the best part.
55:37Victoria Winsorer.
55:53Will you marry me?
55:54Yes!
56:05A thousand times, yes!
56:07Woo!
56:07Woo!
56:08Woo!
56:08Woo!
56:08Woo!
56:19Woo!
56:20Woo!
56:20Woo!
56:20Woo!
56:21And I'm glad
56:27It's for the Amber
56:45You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:48I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:52When word got out you left. Clients bailed.
56:56The board freaked. Numbers tanked.
57:00I couldn't stop it. You steered Maison Laveau
57:04into this storm, Holly.
57:08I know. I know.
57:20My father,
57:24the stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:28I destroyed everything.
57:32I thought slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:38What do you mean for it to end like this?
57:40Maison Laveau isn't dead.
57:42I bought it.
57:44Last week.
57:46The brand.
57:48The archives. Even the debt.
57:50It's part of Given now.
57:52You bought it? Why would you do that?
57:56To make sure that no more women
57:58have to suffer because of policies like yours.
58:02You win, Victoria.
58:06To help you do better than I did.
58:08I'll do it differently.
58:12Goodbye, Holly.
58:14Miss Winter.
58:16I just... I wanted to thank you.
58:20Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
58:22I can keep working and have my baby.
58:26You changed everything.
58:28Congratulations.
58:30Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
58:32I can keep working and have my baby.
58:36You changed everything.
58:38Congratulations.
58:40Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
58:42Ready?
58:44I can keep working.
58:46I can keep working and have my baby.
58:48I can keep working and have my baby.
58:50I can keep working and have my baby.
58:52I can keep working and have my baby.
58:54I can keep working and have my baby.
58:56And now, Jorvin's new collection-
