00:45Mia, Japanese indigo.

00:48Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.

00:50Pauline, handle those vultures.

00:57Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.

01:04It's 28 minutes?

01:05The whole system takes 15 to reboot.

01:1027 now.

01:11Tick tock.

01:15Tick tock.

01:16I'm done.

01:17Crisis averted.

01:18I swear to god, you're done.

01:19I swear to god, you're done.

01:20You're done.

01:21I swear to god, you're done.

01:2227 minutes.

01:23I swear to god, you're not human.

01:2827 minutes.

01:29Holy shit.

01:30Pre-orders are flooding in.

01:31This will shatter every record.

01:33VET!

01:34I swear to god.

01:35What the fuck?

01:36I swear to god, you're not human.

01:3727 minutes.

01:38Holy shit.

01:40Pre-orders are flooding in.

01:42This will shatter every record.

01:43VET!

01:44No.

01:45No.

01:46No.

01:47No.

01:48No.

01:49No.

01:50No.

01:51No.

01:52I don't know.

01:53I don't know.

01:54I don't know.

01:55I don't know.

01:56I don't know.

01:57I don't know.

01:58No.

01:59No.

02:00I don't know.

02:01No.

02:02Are you okay?

02:06Just Rax and Hicks, nothing to...

02:11Oh my god, your water broke.

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

02:24Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?

02:27Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.

02:41That's my girl.

02:43Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.

02:58We need to slash costs immediately.

03:02Layoffs?

03:06Absent without leave.

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

03:11Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.

03:18In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.

03:25No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.

03:29Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.

03:38Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.

03:41Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director? Starting today.

03:49Oh my god, is this really happening?

03:52She's offering me Victoria's job?

03:54I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?

03:57But, Victoria-

03:58Don't worry about her. I'm not useless if I go to smell fire.

04:12You know that collection I just rescued, Em?

04:14I hid something in the design.

04:18Your initials and now little graces.

04:21Hold them right into the fabric.

04:27And that's gonna be a Milan runway?

04:30Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.

04:34Enough for your full tuition at private school.

04:35Mom, you ain't have to.

04:37You're going to that private school.

04:40No discussion.

04:42Your sister and I will manage just fine.

04:45This job will keep us afloat.

04:47I love you, Mom.

04:59Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?

05:02After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.

05:24Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.

05:33What the hell?

05:36Listen up, everyone.

05:38Victoria Wintour is terminated.

05:40Effective 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 Nouveau.

05:54Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggles are bleeding us dry.

06:00Everything okay here?

06:03Great timing.

06:06Victoria Wintour?

06:07You're fired.

06:09Clear out your desk now.

06:19You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?

06:22I saved this company three times when your father could have made payroll.

06:26Too many times.

06:27What?

06:28What?

06:29What?

06:31That's ancient history.

06:33The board wants fresh blood.

06:35And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.

06:42What?

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

06:46Mia, you...

06:47Feel that curve?

06:48That's your signature.

06:49That's what makes it Maison Nouveau.

06:50How could you?

06:51I taught you everything you know.

06:52I wish things were different, Vic.

06:53I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.

06:58What happens to my team?

06:59Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working out.

07:00What happens to my team?

07:01Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working out.

07:04your father's exclusive collections.

07:05Things got so bad she had to get hair.

07:06Implants.

07:07I wish things were different, Vic.

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

07:22What happens to my team?

07:25Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.

07:31Things got so bad she had to get hair implants.

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

07:39These jobs are their lifelines. Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity!

07:44You can't just throw them away!

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

07:50No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.

07:57Or we can shift the math.

07:59You sign. They stay. The budget works out.

08:04Think of it as... taking one for the team.

08:09Miranda's still drowning in her husband's deaths.

08:13And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.

08:16They can't lose their jobs.

08:22Come on, Vic. You say you care about them.

08:24Then, prove it.

08:25Then, prove it.

08:54Five grand.

08:56That's my severance package after 15 years. That's what I'm worth to them.

09:06Be careful. I got you.

09:22I got you.

09:23I got you.

09:28Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?

09:32Hi.

09:35High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?

09:38So, it's true.

09:51Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Mison LeBeau's Milan collection.

09:56How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?

10:06Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.

10:11What are you getting at, exactly?

10:13I'm talking about you and me.

10:19Partners.

10:21You're genius.

10:22My money.

10:24No corporate BS.

10:26No one holding you back.

10:32I've got a baby to think about now.

10:34And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.

10:41Just saying.

10:45Vincent Chevalier, wow.

10:48You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.

10:52Got your spine here?

10:57Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing.

11:02Triple her salary, corner office.

11:05You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.

11:09Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.

11:12Rescuing a washed-up single mom with outdated ideas?

11:16Wow, that's an interesting take to have, considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.

11:20I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?

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

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

11:37Shit, shit, shit.

11:39What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this.

11:45Actually, those were my designs.

11:50What did you just say?

11:52The spring collection.

11:54The Cartier pieces.

11:56I designed them.

11:57Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.

12:01Oops. Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.

12:05I thought you were better than this, Mia.

12:09Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.

12:14So what? Skitches get past her and all the time. It doesn't prove squat.

12:19Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?

12:22Dress designer?

12:24And the logo?

12:26The EW, woven in. Victoria's signature mark.

12:31It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.

12:32Come on, Mia. Explain it. Make her shut up.

12:33It's funny. All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their life, they all have EW and GW so many, too.

12:37Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter. Her newborn is Grace Winter.

12:43It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.

12:48It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.

12:51Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?

12:55Well, Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.

13:01The logo, it's... it's adapted.

13:04It's adapted.

13:06It's adapted.

13:08It's adapted.

13:10It's adapted.

13:12It's adapted.

13:14It's adapted.

13:16It's adapted.

13:18It's adapted based on traditional motifs.

13:24You lying little bitch!

13:26That promotion was for saving the company.

13:33Look at the logo again.

13:35It's not EW or GW.

13:38It's actually two M's.

13:41M-M for McMichael, my last name.

13:44See?

13:48One M flipped.

13:50One upright.

13:51It's not for Grace or Emily.

13:54It's mine.

13:56That is absolutely ridiculous.

13:59Oh my god, she's right. It does look more like two M's.

14:03You manipulative bitch. You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.

14:09You learned well, Mia.

14:13Maybe too well.

14:15You'll regret this.

14:18Come on, Vincent.

14:20We don't have to sink to that level.

14:22Okay.

14:24Then let me drive you home, Karen.

14:26My Ferrari's outside.

14:28I got this you shouldn't be carrying anymore.

14:30Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.

14:38Just take care of my honor and Paulie, will you?

14:42That's right, get the hell out of my company.

14:47Go lead your 401k somewhere else.

14:53Paul and Victoria.

14:56The VIP invitation, Paris Fashion Week.

15:03Front row. I think you'll find it.

15:06Enlightening.

15:15Every pregnant woman fired.

15:18All of us.

15:19Just like that.

15:21No severance.

15:22No warning.

15:23Nothing.

15:24But a box and a security escort.

15:31Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.

15:35Their termination people won't practically pay for your sign and bonus my writing star.

15:40Now, about Paris Fashion Week.

15:43Their designs are eagerly awaited.

15:48You should have kept your legs closed.

15:49You should have kept your legs closed.

15:59Oh my god, mom.

16:01This is insane.

16:02I can't believe we're actually here.

16:04Victoria Wintour.

16:06Nuclear Vic.

16:08Your mom's basically a legend.

16:09You know that, right?

16:11We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Laveau.

16:15Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.

16:20Wait.

16:21Ms. Laveau?

16:23Well, well.

16:24The queen without her crown graces us with her presence.

16:27Brave of you to show up here.

16:29What's next?

16:30Applying for retail jobs at the mall?

16:34Leaving so soon?

16:36You haven't introduced me to your princess.

16:37Has mommy dearest filled you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?

16:46Wait.

16:47Mom, is that true?

16:52Don't worry.

16:53She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.

16:57Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour.

17:00Still pretending she matters.

17:01My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.

17:09If Maison Laveau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.

17:16Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.

17:19Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.

17:23That's got a sting, huh?

17:25Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero.

17:28But hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.

17:35If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.

17:39That's enough.

17:44That's enough.

17:46You've always been a fraud, Victoria.

17:49You never belonged in this world.

17:51Look at her.

17:53A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.

17:56That dress.

17:58It's a cheap knockoff.

18:02Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.

18:05It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.

18:12What the hell do you think you're doing?

18:15Remove that dress.

18:17We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.

18:21Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!

18:23Let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.

18:27Take your hands off her now.

18:32Vincent.

18:38You're dismissed.

18:39You alright?

18:52You alright?

18:54I'm flat.

18:55Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.

18:57The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere.

18:59What the hell is he doing with Victoria?

19:02That knockoff that you're so here to trash her for?

19:08It's Chauven.

19:10Mote couture.

19:12Winter collection.

19:14Not even released yet.

19:16Price tag?

19:18300,000.

19:19Wow!

19:21You gave her that.

19:23That's right.

19:25I did.

19:27I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.

19:30Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.

19:33Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy!

19:35Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.

19:39He's your walking trust fund.

19:43Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.

19:46It's just so predictably desperate.

19:52You really don't understand real talent, do you?

19:56For those of you who don't know me,

19:59I'm Vincent Chevalier.

20:01CEO of Joven.

20:04And yes,

20:06I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.

20:10I have followed your career from a distance for years.

20:14Your brilliance.

20:16Your principles.

20:18Your passion.

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

20:24Mom, did you know about this?

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

20:30But in the meantime, what I will do

20:33is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.

20:37She won't let you down, boss.

20:42You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.

20:45She's nothing but a has-been.

20:47The show is about to start.

20:50Your seats are waiting.

20:51Holy shit.

20:53The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?

20:57Talk about a power couple.

20:59They can run the entire industry.

21:01This isn't over, bitch.

21:03Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.

21:05This isn't over, bitch.

21:06Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.

21:08So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?

21:10Some talents you recognize immediately.

21:16Some people too.

21:17Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.

21:27This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.

21:28She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.

21:33It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.

21:37I've slaved away on the way of my creative director.

21:39I've been stealing designs from my creative director for years.

21:41It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.

21:43I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.

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

22:06That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it Victoria?

22:08That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?

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

22:16That's enough, Holly.

22:19Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.

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

22:27Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?

22:31That's her real design strategy.

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

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

22:41How dare you!

22:45Miss Jenkins, Miss McMichaels, it's a disaster in there.

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

22:53Not now.

22:59The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.

23:03The dresses are literally falling apart.

23:06We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.

23:09Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Leval?

23:11Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?

23:13This is completely unprofessional.

23:16I have 10 million invested in this collection.

23:19This is breach of contract.

23:23It's actually fixable.

23:25Paul, you can't seriously be thinking about helping you backstabbing vultures.

23:33Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.

23:36Maison Leval appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.

23:39Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.

23:42The question on everyone's mind, is this the end for the once prestigious fashion house?

23:51This show doesn't happen.

23:54You're personally liable for the breach penalties.

23:56We're talking billions, Holly.

23:59Billions.

24:00Billions.

24:01Billions.

24:02Billions.

24:03Billions.

24:04Billions.

24:05Billions.

24:06Billions.

24:07Billions.

24:08Billions.

24:09Billions.

24:10Billions.

24:11Billions.

24:23Billions.

24:24Now.

24:25How?

24:26The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials!

24:31I can't magically make new dresses in an hour!

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

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

24:42That's billions of dollars.

24:45Then you better figure something out.

24:47Because if you don't, not only are you fired,

24:49I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.

25:02Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?

25:08Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?

25:11Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.

25:15And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.

25:19We're gathering evidence as we speak.

25:32Excuse me.

25:34Excuse me.

25:36It's okay, punk. I'll be right back.

25:44What do you want, Mia?

25:49Vic, I really need your help.

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

25:56Look, I know you're furious.

26:00I would be too.

26:02But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.

26:04What about them?

26:06Their jobs are on the line with this show.

26:08If we tank, they're done.

26:10Holly will fire them without a second thought.

26:13Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out here.

26:19Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.

26:21Yes, absolutely.

26:23And they're counting on this being a hit.

26:25I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.

26:34What exactly happened to them, Mia?

26:38They...

26:40They couldn't make it.

26:42Holly cut the travel budget.

26:44Is that right?

26:46Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.

26:52They do.

26:54Fine.

26:56I'll help you.

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

27:00Not for you.

27:02Oh my god.

27:14It's Victoria Winter.

27:15The nuclear beck.

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

27:19Now.

27:27I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.

27:29Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.

27:31Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?

27:37Would this work?

27:45Vincent, how did you...

27:47I figured you might need some supplies.

27:49So, I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.

27:53This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Lavo are competitors.

27:59Why would you help them?

28:01I'm not helping them.

28:05I'm helping you.

28:07I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.

28:11I have a design I've been saving.

28:13Something special I've never shown anyone.

28:15It's yours now.

28:17I don't want your design, Victoria.

28:21Then what do you want?

28:23You.

28:25What?

28:27What?

28:33Your talent.

28:35Your vision.

28:37Come and work as Joven.

28:39I'm in.

28:41I'll work for you.

28:43Just like that?

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

28:50She's doing it in minutes.

28:52What would have taken us hours?

28:54Whoa.

28:55No wonder they call her the Nuclear Vic.

28:58It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.

29:02The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.

29:06Oh, no wonder they call her the Nuclear Vic.

29:10It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.

29:14The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.

29:18Five minutes till show time.

29:19You made it.

29:21Woo.

29:22It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.

29:25Woo!

29:26Woo!

29:27Woo!

29:29Woo!

29:30Woo!

29:31Woo!

29:32Woo!

29:33Woo!

29:35Woo!

29:37Woo!

29:38Woo!

29:39Woo!

29:40Woo!

29:41Woo!

29:42Woo!

29:43Woo!

29:44Woo!

29:45Woo!

29:46Woo!

29:47Woo!

29:48Well, do we pull the plug or not?

29:53We're good. Everything's back on track.

29:56See? I knew firing Victoria was the right call. You've got twice her talent.

30:02Yeah, right.

30:05This is exactly why I promoted you. You fix vests, not make them.

30:10To Victoria. The real hero of the night.

30:31Mom, you're insane. I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.

30:36I couldn't have done it without you.

30:40You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office bromance.

30:50Well, well, still hanging around.

30:53I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party. Fraud.

30:58Polly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?

31:02What are you talking about?

31:04Just ask the models. Any of them.

31:08Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement. About Miranda and Pauline.

31:14I won't.

31:16Two new beginnings at Chauvin.

31:24Speaking of new beginnings. Emily's private school application is due next month, right?

31:36I want to help. With our education.

31:38What? Vincent, that's too much. We barely know each other.

31:44Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.

31:48I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress. The one you made from scratch.

31:58I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.

32:04Do you remember that?

32:06I remember everything.

32:08I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.

32:18Why didn't you ever reach out?

32:20You were married. And then you weren't. And then you were building your career.

32:26Timing was never right. Until now.

32:42I have been waiting for 20 years to do this.

32:58I should probably get this.

33:02Mia?

33:12God, I was so right about firing Victoria. That Milan disaster you turned around? Absolute magic.

33:20And now I have an opportunity that can put you on the map for good.

33:24Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.

33:30Sean Gosling? The Sean Gosling?

33:34The very one. Three-time Oscar winner. People's Sexiest Man Alive.

33:38And if we play our cards right, the next face of the Maison LeBeau is a man's wear.

33:43They're taking pitches now.

33:45If he picks yours, this changes everything. For you. For the brand.

33:50Where it is, Joven's in the running too.

33:53Land this, Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.

34:00Seal the deal. I'll bump your pay by 20%.

34:04I've got this, Holly. You won't regret it.

34:08God, what am I gonna do? I can't design menswear.

34:18I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.

34:21Miranda and Pauline are gone too. I'm completely on my own.

34:26If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,

34:33maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over her.

34:45Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.

35:01You mentioned Miranda and Pauline. Cut to the chase.

35:09We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks. Miranda and Pauline are also on the-

35:12Miranda's excellent with menswear. She can handle this without me.

35:15Please, wait. There's more to it.

35:17After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.

35:21Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block. I've been fighting for them.

35:25Are you serious? Pauline's due any day now.

35:29Trust me. I know. This project is our only shot.

35:32If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.

35:35Have you worked with Sean before?

35:37No, but I've heard you have.

35:39Ages ago. I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.

35:44Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison Malone.

35:48Really? What concept?

35:55Well...

35:56Perfect. She's handing everything over without even realizing.

36:12I'll use her design to save my ass and lay on this project.

36:17Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?

36:21I do. Actually, I-I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.

36:28Wait. Miranda went on maternity leave last week. How exactly is she part of this project?

36:34Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.

36:40Is the company covering her health insurance?

36:43Of-of course, Vic.

36:45Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.

36:51You need to think about it. Take all the time you need it.

36:55Mia.

36:57Don't make me regret trusting you.

36:59Again.

37:10Pumpkin, I need a quick favor. Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?

37:24The Sean Gosselin one with the black satin lapels?

37:27That's the one. Can you check my home office? It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.

37:33Got it. Grace is napping. The perfect timing.

37:37Thanks, sweetie. I just need to double check something about the...

37:44Shoulder.

37:45Instruction.

37:48Mom, are you okay?

37:53Miranda?

37:55Vic?

37:56Mom! Mom! What's going on?

38:04Emily, I'll call you right back.

38:07Brenda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?

38:11Bills don't pay themselves.

38:13You met my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.

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

38:24What?

38:26Is that the story she's spinning now?

38:29After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.

38:34No severance, no copper, nothing. Just gone.

38:38That's completely illegal.

38:41Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.

38:45All at once. What are the odds, right?

38:49And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours down here.

38:54Her sister medical bills keep piling up.

39:02And Mia knew about all this.

39:05Mia. Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.

39:09Didn't even blink.

39:12Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director in the title.

39:16She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.

39:20Telling me her draw depended on me helping her.

39:23What?

39:25That bitch!

39:28This ends now.

39:35Damn it!

39:39Miss Michael.

39:42He's just arrived from Milan.

39:44We need approval by noon for them.

39:46Can't you see I'm working on something important?

39:58What are you all looking at? Get back to work!

40:01Victoria would never treat us like this one.

40:04I heard that.

40:06You think Victoria is so perfect?

40:09Then where is she now?

40:11Gone.

40:12Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.

40:16At least you can actually design it.

40:23What the hell is going on here?

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

40:29To the Gosling page. Tell me you have something presentable.

40:35Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.

40:38Show me.

40:40It's not quite ready.

40:41Now.

40:42This is garbage.

40:43Absolute garbage!

40:44I just need a little more time.

40:45We don't have more time.

40:46This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.

40:48If Shofen gets this deal instead of us.

40:50What's that?

40:52It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.

40:57I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.

41:00Get me when you design me till morning or pack up your desk by lunch.

41:06it's just some inspiration I recorded for the design I don't care if you have to sell your

41:16soul to the devil get me when you design me till morning or pack up your desk by lunch

41:36I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage right on cue

42:03the absolute nerve of this woman she'll get her a sketch and that's where we spring the trap

45:33Transcription by CastingWords

46:03And you're still here?

46:34Final tweaks. The pitch goes out tomorrow.

46:41You've got Grace to sleep.

46:45Yeah.

46:47And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.

46:52Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.

46:55We're about to make history.

47:07Maison Laveau sets the bar.

47:10We don't follow trends. We create them.

47:18Satin black lapels.

47:20Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.

47:23A blend of tradition and boldness.

47:26I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.

47:36What is that bitch doing here?

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

47:47My company is thriving because of your generosity.

47:52I didn't expect to see you here.

47:55We thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.

48:02Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.

48:06You know, Holly, your fresh-blood strategies work in wonders.

48:12The office is so empty, it echoes.

48:15And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.

48:19Pregnant women talk, you know.

48:21Three X and 3's on a rival CEO.

48:24What's next?

48:25A fake sale?

48:27Laugh all you want, Holly.

48:29You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.

48:32And what real loyalty looks like.

48:48Sean, glad you could make it.

48:50We have something very special to show you.

48:55Vic.

48:59I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.

49:03Congratulations.

49:04Thank you, Sean.

49:05It's good to see you.

49:07Let's begin the pitches.

49:10You ready to lose?

49:12You're out of your league.

49:13You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.

49:20First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.

49:27Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.

49:47Beautiful work.

49:58Both teams.

50:03We'll need a few minutes to discuss.

50:05After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...

50:16Maison Laveau.

50:17We'll need a few minutes to discuss.

50:19Yes!

50:19Oh, my God.

50:21Of course.

50:23This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?

50:26What the hell did you people put me in?

50:39Are you trying to kill me?

50:41Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.

50:44Who designed this tuxedo?

50:45Did you even read the brief?

50:49I mean...

50:50Did you...

50:51You must have read the brief.

50:52It's not complicated.

50:54It says...

50:54No synthetic...

50:56Blends.

50:57I mean...

50:58Must be some kind of mistake.

50:59Perhaps Mia overlooked something.

51:02A mistake?

51:03I could have ended up in the emergency room.

51:06Victoria.

51:08Please.

51:08Tell these amateurs

51:09why you pulled your last design.

51:15I pulled my design

51:21because the only fabric left was synthetic.

51:24I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.

51:27And that's why Victoria's the best.

51:29She actually pays attention.

51:31After reviewing all of the entries,

51:33the committee has reached a decision.

51:36The commission goes to

51:37Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.

51:39Which are done.

51:42Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.

51:44Mia's design was the front-runner all along.

51:47That's why they picked her first.

51:52Maybe everyone should see this.

52:00Wait, Mia.

52:01Did you actually steal Victoria's design?

52:09Not so near low.

52:10Even for you.

52:12Maison Laveau

52:16will be hearing

52:18from my liars.

52:19So you know,

52:21I will be supporting

52:22Victoria's case

52:23for design theft.

52:26Maison Laveau's reputation

52:28is toast.

52:29We're suspending

52:30all collaborations.

52:32Don't even think about

52:42trying to land anywhere else.

52:45You're blacklisted.

52:51Victoria, please.

52:52Victoria, please.

53:06I'll do anything.

53:07Please just help me

53:08save the company,

53:09the brand you built

53:10for 15 years.

53:12You made your choices, Holly.

53:14Now you live with them.

53:15You finally went too far.

53:25Sean Gosling's look tonight

53:27is a game-changer crafted

53:28by the trailblazing team

53:29at Joven.

53:30Social media is already calling it

53:32the Winter Revolution.

53:33to the best comeback

53:48in fashion history

53:49and to the women

53:50who made it happen.

53:52And to the maternity leave

53:53that actually means something.

53:55Mom,

53:59you might want to see this.

54:10Happy birthday, Victoria.

54:15Happy birthday to you!

54:21Guys, look!

54:25Maison Lévois on the brink.

54:27Scandal pushes fashion giant

54:29towards bankruptcy.

54:31Ouch!

54:32I guess karma has a sense of humor.

54:35It's strange, isn't it?

54:43We gave them everything.

54:46Late nights,

54:47weekends,

54:48all the best years

54:49and they tossed us aside

54:51like we were nothing.

54:53Now it's all crashing down.

54:54I thought I feel vindicated.

54:57Honestly,

54:58it's a weird mix.

55:00Relief, sure,

55:01but also a little bit of grief.

55:04Look,

55:05who said that our best years

55:06are behind us?

55:07Look at this!

55:10Joven pushes for

55:11paid leave

55:12and parental support

55:13across all industries.

55:16Victoria,

55:17this is you!

55:18You did this!

55:19Here's to a future

55:21where women don't have to choose

55:24between their families

55:24and their careers.

55:26Not just for us,

55:27but for every woman

55:28who comes after.

55:31Careful, Vincent.

55:32You almost forgot the best part.

55:33Victoria Winter.

55:46Will you marry me?

55:51Yes!

55:52Yes!

55:53A thousand times, yes!

56:03Woo!

56:04Woo!

56:16Woo!

56:17Woo!

56:18Woo!

56:19Woo!

56:19You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.

56:45I came because I wanted to hear it from you.

56:48When word got out you left. Clients bailed. The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.

56:59You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.

57:03I know. I know. My father...

57:21The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore. I destroyed everything.

57:28I thought slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.

57:34What do you mean for it to end like this?

57:37Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it. Last week. The brand. The archives. Even the debt. It's part of Given now.

57:49You bought it. Why would you do that?

57:52To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.

58:00You win, Victoria. I hope you do better than I did.

58:04I'll do it differently. Goodbye, Holly.

58:10Miss Winter. I just... I wanted to thank you. Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.

58:39I can keep working and have my baby. You changed everything. Congratulations. Wishing you and your little one every happiness.

59:02Ready?

59:06Always.

59:08Morning.

59:10I'm wholeheartedly.

59:11You're looking for laughs.

59:18And now, Jovan's new collection...

59:23...

59:25You.

59:28You.

59:29You.

59:32You.
