00:00Shit! No, no, no, no! The system crashed mid-upload! Half the collection is the wrong season! We're on everything!
00:20No! The Lund Runway is in 48 hours! If production starts with these botched designs, we're all dead! Not just fire, we're dead! Company collapses, our careers are over! Come out here and talk to us! We have 8 million tied up in this collection! I have a fashion editor from Lund Run right now! One word for me, your interest is poison!
00:50Enough! Vic!
01:01Mia, Japanese Indigo. Miranda, call production, emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:13Tell the boss to hold all calls. I need 28 minutes. 28 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot. 27 now. Tick tock.
01:28I'm done. Crisis averted. I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes! Holy shit! Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter everyone.
01:46I'm done. Crisis averted. I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes! Holy shit! Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter everyone.
01:57This will shatter every record.
02:05Vivek, are you okay?
02:09Just racks and hicks. Nothing to-
02:14Oh my god, your water broke.
02:16Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:28Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:31Dad 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.
02:44That's my girl.
02:45Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But there's a condition. We need to slash costs. Immediately.
03:02Layoffs?
03:05Absent without leave. Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:14Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:20In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:28No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:32Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:41Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:45Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director? Starting today.
03:50Oh, my God, is this really happening? She's offering me Victoria's job? I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:05But, Victoria-
04:07Don't worry about her. I'm not useless. I'm going to sell fire.
04:11You know that collection I just rescued, Em? I hid something in the design. Your initials and now little graces.
04:25Hold them right into the fabric.
04:31And that's going to be a Milan runway?
04:34Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial. Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:39Mom, you ain't have to. You're going to that private school.
04:44No discussion. Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:49This job will keep us afloat.
04:51I love you, Mom.
05:03Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:06After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:12Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:25What the hell?
05:26Listen up, everyone. Victoria Wintour is terminated. Effective immediately.
05:27You can't just do that. She's in the hospital having her baby. They're a loss against this.
05:39Vic worked while in labor. She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:42Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggles are bleeding us dry.
05:45Everything okay here?
05:46Great timing. Victoria Wintour, you're fired. Clear out your desk now.
05:48You can't just do that.
05:49You can't just do that. She's in the hospital having her baby. They're a loss against this.
05:52Vic worked while in labor. She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:54Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggles are bleeding us dry.
05:59Everything okay here?
06:00Great timing. Victoria Wintour, you're fired. Clear out your desk now.
06:22You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you? I saved this company three times when your father could have made payroll.
06:28So many times.
06:33Well, that's ancient history. The board wants fresh blood. And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:46What? I'm the one who...
06:50Mia, you...
06:53Feel that curve? That's her signature.
06:56That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:03How could you? I taught you everything you know.
07:13I wish things were different, Vic.
07:15I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:20What happens to my team?
07:27Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:34Things got so bad she had to get hair, implants.
07:37Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:42These jobs are their lifelines. Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:47You can't just throw them away.
07:49Well, actually, legally speaking, we can. No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:59Or, we can shift the math. You 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 deaths. And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery. They can't lose their jobs.
08:25Come on, Vic. You say you care about them. Prove it.
08:28Prove it.
08:58Prove it.
09:035 grand.
09:05That's my severance package after 15 years. That's what I'm worth to them.
09:23Careful. I got you.
09:29Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:35Hi.
09:38High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:50So, it's true.
09:52Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Misan Laveau's Milan collection.
10:03How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:09Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:14What are you getting at, exactly?
10:16I'm talking about you and me.
10:22Partners. You're genius. My money. No corporate BS. No one holding you back.
10:30I've got a baby to think about now.
10:34And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:40Just saying.
10:44Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:45You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:56Got your spine here?
10:57Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
11:05Triple her salary, corner office.
11:08You know, before the vultures at LB or Chanel swoop in.
11:13Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:15Rescuing a washed-up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:18Wow, that's an interesting take to have, considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:25I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:30The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:33If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:39Shit, shit, shit.
11:42What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this?
11:45Actually, those were my designs.
11:53What did you just say?
11:58The spring collection.
12:00The Cartier pieces.
12:02I designed them.
12:04Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:07Oops.
12:08Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:11I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:15Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:25So what? Sketches get passed around all the time. It doesn't prove squat.
12:29Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:33The dress designer?
12:35And the logo?
12:36The EW, woven in Victoria's signature mark. It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:45Well, Mia, explain it and make me shut up.
12:47Shut up.
12:51It's funny. All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their work.
12:57They all have EW and GW so many, too.
13:01Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter. Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:06It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:12Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:16Well, Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.
13:21The logo, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:30You lying little bitch!
13:32That promotion was for saving the company.
13:39Look at the logo again.
13:40It's not EW or GW. It's actually two M's.
13:47MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:51See? One M flipped, one upright.
13:57It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:00It's mine.
14:02That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:05Oh my god, she's right. It does look more like two M's.
14:10You manipulative bitch. You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:17You learned well, Mia.
14:20Maybe too well.
14:22You'll regret this.
14:25Walk and sleep.
14:27We don't have to sink to their level.
14:29Okay.
14:31Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:33My Ferrari's outside.
14:35I got this. You shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
14:39Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:44Just take care of my daughter and Pauline, will you?
14:48That's right! Get the hell out of my company!
14:53Go leech your 401k somewhere else.
14:55Go leech your 401k somewhere else.
14:56Go leech your 401k somewhere else.
15:02Oh, I'm Victoria.
15:06VIP invitation.
15:07Prepares fashion week.
15:09Front row.
15:10I think you'll find it.
15:12Enlightening.
15:13Every pregnant woman fired.
15:23All of us.
15:25Just like that.
15:27No severance.
15:28No warning.
15:29Nothing.
15:30A box and a security S group.
15:37Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:41Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign and bonus my riding star.
15:46Now, about Paris fashion week.
15:49Your designs are eagerly awaited.
15:50Should've kept your legs closed.
15:53Oh my god, mom.
15:55This is insane.
15:56I can't believe we're actually here.
15:57Victoria Wintour.
15:58The Nuclear Vic.
15:59Your mom's basically a legend.
16:00You know that right?
16:01We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Levaux.
16:02Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:07Wait, Maison Levaux?
16:10Well, well, the queen without her craft.
16:13We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Levaux.
16:15We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
16:20Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:24Wait, Maison Léveau?
16:28Well, well, the queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
16:33Brave of you to show up here.
16:35What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:39Leaving so soon? You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:44Has Mommy Dearest filled you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:51Mom, is that true?
16:57Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:02Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter. Still pretending she matters.
17:07My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:14If Maison Léveau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:21Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:24Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:28That's gotta sting, huh?
17:30Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
17:34But hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hard-working children.
17:40If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:43That's enough.
17:49That's enough.
17:51You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.
17:56Look at her. A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:01That dress, it's a cheap knockoff.
18:05Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:10It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:14What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:19Remove 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.
18:34Take your hands off her now.
18:37Vincent.
18:43You're dismissed.
18:53You alright?
18:57You alright?
18:58I'm fine.
18:59Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:01The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:05What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:10That knockoff that you're so here to trash her for?
19:14It's Chevenne.
19:16Haute couture.
19:18Winter collection.
19:20Not even released yet.
19:22Price tag?
19:23300,000.
19:25Wow!
19:26You gave her that.
19:28That's right.
19:29You did.
19:32I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:35Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:38Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:42Mr. Billionaire's not her white knight.
19:44He's her walking trust fund.
19:48Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:51It's just so predictably desperate.
19:54You really don't understand real talent.
19:59Do you?
20:01For those of you who don't know me.
20:04I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:06CEO of Gevenne.
20:08And yes.
20:11I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:15I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:19Your brilliance.
20:21Your principles.
20:23Your passion.
20:25Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:29Mom, did you know about this?
20:31I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:34But in the meantime, what I will do.
20:38Is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:42She won't let you down, boss.
20:47You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:50She's nothing but a has-been.
20:52The show is about to start.
20:55Your seats are waiting.
21:01Holy shit.
21:02The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:06Talk about a power couple.
21:08They could run the entire industry.
21:11This isn't over, bitch.
21:13Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:25So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:27Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:31Some people too.
21:33Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:37This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:39She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:41It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:42I've slaved away on those designs day and night.
21:46And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
21:47That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
21:48Your entire career is based on life.
21:49That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
21:50Your entire career is based on life.
21:51That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
21:52is based onÃveusawish.
21:53That's enough, Holly.
22:02those designs day and night and Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as you're
22:08off that's just the tip of the iceberg isn't it Victoria your entire career is
22:17based on lies and manipulation that's enough Holly everyone thinks you're this
22:24creative genius but I know what you really are your personal life is just as
22:28fake as the so-called talent did you know she slept with half the executives in
22:34the industry that's her real design strategy stop it Holly you're
22:39embarrassing yourself and those kids she's so proud of who knows who their
22:43real fathers are how dare you it's a disaster in there there's something

24:48Then you better figure something out
24:50Because if you don't, not only are you fired
24:53I'll make sure you never work in fashion again
25:04Miss Winter
25:07How do you respond of accusations over design theft?
25:10Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:14Please respect Miss Winter's privacy
25:17And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is
25:21We're gathering evidence as we speak
25:23We're gathering evidence as we speak

25:41I'll be right
25:48What do you want, Mia?
25:53Vic
25:54I really need your help
25:56Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled
25:59Look
26:02I know you're furious
26:03I would be too
26:05But think about Miranda and Pauline 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
26:16Please
26:18If you care about them keeping their jobs
26:20Just help us 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
26:30Not for me
26:32For them
26:34I would have expected them to be here in Paris
26:36You know, for such a make or break show
26:38What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:44They... they couldn't make it
26:46Holly cut the travel budget
26:49Is that right?
26:51Victoria
26:53I know I don't deserve your help
26:54They do
26:56They do
26:58Fine
27:00I'll help
27:02But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline
27:04Not for you
27:17Oh my god
27:18It's Victoria Winter
27:19The Nuclear Vic
27:21I need scissors, thread and fresh lining fabric
27:23Now
27:31I need royal fuchsia for the stitching
27:33Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric
27:35Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:41Would this work?
27:42I'll help you
27:43I'll help you
27:44I'll help you
27:45I'll help you
27:48Vincent
27:49How did you...
27:52I figured you might need some supplies
27:53So, I had my assistant bring over Joven as an emergency kit
27:57This is perfect, but...
28:02Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors
28:03Why would you help them?
28:05I'm not helping them.
28:08I'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.
28:17Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:20It's yours now.
28:22I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:25Then what do you want?
28:28You.
28:31What?
28:35Your talent.
28:38Your vision.
28:40Come and work as you've been.
28:43I'm in.
28:44I'll work for you.
28:46Just like that?
28:47Just like that.
28:48Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Lebel.
29:05So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get it.
29:08I want me back.
29:11Don't ever change.
29:14I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:18She's doing it in minutes.
29:21What would have taken us hours.
29:23Whoa.
29:24No wonder they call her the Nuclear Vic.
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.
29:35And how to be myself.
29:38Five minutes till showtime.
29:40We made it.
29:41We made it.
29:54Well, do we pull the plug or not?
29:56We're good.
29:57Everything's back on track.
29:59See?
30:00I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
30:03You've got twice her talent.
30:06Yeah.
30:07Right.
30:08This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:11You fix best is not make them.
30:20To Victoria.
30:22The real hero of the night.
30:30Mom, you're insane.
30:35I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:40Couldn't have done it without you.
30:43You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
30:53Well, well, still hanging around.
30:55I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
30:59Fraud.
31:01Polly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:05What are you talking about?
31:07Just ask the models.
31:09Any of them.
31:11Oh, and Mia.
31:13Don't forget about our agreement.
31:15About Miranda and Pauline.
31:17I won't.
31:23Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:30Speaking of new beginnings.
31:34Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:38I want to help.
31:40With her education.
31:42What?
31:44Vincent, that's too much.
31:45We barely know each other.
31:47Victoria.
31:48I've known you since we were 17.
31:53I remember watching you win that regional competition.
31:58In that silver dress.
32:00The one you made from scratch.
32:02I saw the way your eyes lit up.
32:05When you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:09You remember that?
32:11I remember everything.
32:14I have followed your career.
32:17All these years.
32:19Just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:22Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:24You were married.
32:27And then you were.
32:29And then you were building your career.
32:30The timing was never right.
32:35Until now.
32:45I have been waiting.
32:4720 years to do this.
33:01I should probably get this.
33:13Mia?
33:17God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:20That Milan disaster you turned around?
33:22Absolute magic.
33:24And now I have an opportunity that can put you on the map for good.
33:27Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:34Sean Gosling?
33:36The Sean Gosling?
33:38The very one.
33:39Three-time Oscar winner.
33:40People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:42And if you play our cards right.
33:44The next face of Maison Nouveau is menswear.
33:47They're taking pitches now.
33:49If he picks yours.
33:51This changes everything.
33:52For you.
33:53For the brand.
33:55Where it is.
33:57Land this.
33:58Vincent and his whore Victoria are done.
34:04Seal the deal.
34:05I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:07I've got this Holly.
34:09You won't regret it.
34:17God, what am I gonna do?
34:19I can't design menswear.
34:20I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:24Miranda and Pauline are gone too.
34:26I'm completely on my own.
34:29If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria.
34:35All Victoria.
34:36Maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over her.
34:37Maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over her.
34:38Maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over her.
34:40Well, I'm gonna get dressed, yeah!
34:48There's a woman you've got a call.
34:50Thanks for meeting me.
34:51I know things are complicated between us.
34:53Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.
35:05You mentioned Miranda and Pauline. Cut to the chase.
35:12We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux. Miranda and Pauline are also in the...
35:16Miranda's excellent with menswear. She can handle this without me.
35:18Please, wait. There's more to it.
35:20After Paris, Pauline needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:24Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block. I've been fighting for them.
35:29Are you serious? Pauline's due any day now.
35:32Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot.
35:36If we land it, I can convince Pauline to keep them both.
35:39Have you worked with Sean before?
35:41No, but I've heard you have.
35:44Ages ago, I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
35:47Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept for him right before I left Maison L'Avon.
35:52Really? What concept?
36:01Well...
36:01Perfect. She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:16I'll use her design to save my ass and lay on this project.
36:21Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:23I do. Actually, I... I took them with me when I left Maison L'Avon.
36:31Wait.
36:33Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:35How exactly is she part of this project?
36:38Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have,
36:41Holly's letting her work from home.
36:43Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:45Of course, Vic.
36:49Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:54You need to think about it.
36:56Take all the time you need it.
36:58Mia.
37:00Don't make me regret trusting you.
37:03Again.
37:03Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:23Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:27The Sean Gosselin one with the black satin lapels?
37:31That's the one.
37:31Can you check my home office?
37:33It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:38Got it.
37:39Grace is napping.
37:40The perfect timing.
37:41Thanks, sweetie.
37:42I just need to double check something about the...
37:47Shoulder.
37:49Instruction.
37:51Mom, are you okay?
37:57Miranda?
37:59Vic?
38:01Mom, mom, what's going on?
38:07Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:10Brenda, what happened?
38:12Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:14Bills don't pay themselves.
38:17You met my husband, an old child with no paycheck,
38:20and now there's a newborn at home.
38:23Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
38:26What?
38:27What?
38:27Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:32After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:37No severance, no cover, nothing.
38:39Just gone.
38:41That's completely illegal.
38:44Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
38:48All at once.
38:50What are the odds, right?
38:53And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:57Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:00And Mia knew about all this.
39:08Mia.
39:09Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
39:13Didn't even blink.
39:15Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
39:18She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
39:23Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:26What?
39:27That bitch.
39:31This ends now.
39:38Damn it.
39:43Miss, Miss Michael.
39:45He's just arrived from Milan.
39:47We need approval by noon for them.
39:49Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:00What are you all looking at?
40:02Get back to work.
40:04Victoria would never treat us.
40:07I heard that.
40:09You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:12Then where is she now?
40:14Gone.
40:14Now I'm in charge.
40:15And if anyone has a problem with that,
40:18there's the door.
40:19Well, at least she could actually design it.
40:26What the hell is going on here?
40:29Just a great disagreement.
40:31Everything's under control.
40:32The girl's name, Paige.
40:33Tell me you have something presentable.
40:39Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:41Show me.
40:41It's not quite ready.
40:44Now.
40:50This is garbage.
40:53Absolute garbage.
40:54I just need a little more time.
40:56We don't have more time.
40:57This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:00If Chauvin gets this deal instead of us...
41:02What's that?
41:11It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:15I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil,
41:20get me a winner, design me tomorrow morning,
41:22or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:24I still can't believe they're using this as leverage.
41:50Right on cue.
42:00Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:03Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:06The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:08She'll get her a sketch.
42:12And that's when we spring the trap.
42:27You're early.
42:28Vic, I really need that sketch.
42:35Shh.
42:36I said I'd help.
42:40Not hand over my design.
42:42Holly's all over me about this.
42:44If I don't have something tonight,
42:46Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:50Still lying, Mia.
42:51You never learn.
42:53Guess it's payback time.
42:55So, do you want my help or not?
42:58I can walk you through it.
42:59Your design could be just as good.
43:01She's such a snake.
43:02Vic, my stomach is killing me.
43:07Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:10Fine.
43:11Don't touch anything.
43:13Sorry, Vic.
43:40Survival of the fittest.
43:41You just let her take your work?
43:56She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
43:58You know, boss.
44:03We could pitch ourselves.
44:05Go after the same clients.
44:07Show them what real design looks like.
44:10We're not out yet.
44:11Oh, there's a revolution, bro.
44:29I figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:33You're welcome, mom.
44:40I want you and your team as your van.
44:45Full creative control.
44:48I'm Miranda.
44:49Your husband's debt.
44:51Handled.
44:52And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:55Mr. Chevalier, I...
44:58I'm Pauline.
45:00Your sister is in good hands.
45:03The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:05She's already prepping for her next surgery.
45:08Mr. Chevalier.
45:11Don't thank me.
45:13Thank Victoria.
45:14I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:17Vincent, I...
45:19I don't even know what to say.
45:23It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:31And...
45:32I don't even know what to say.
45:35You're welcome.
45:41Oh, yeah.
45:41Your sister.
45:44Uh oh.
45:47Oh.
45:48Oh...
45:49Oh...
45:50Oh, yeah.
45:54Oh, yeah.
46:25And you're still here?
46:35Final tweaks. The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:41You've got Grace to sleep.
46:46Yeah.
46:48And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:51Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:02Remember, smile. We're about to make this to you.
47:08Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:11We don't follow trends, we create them.
47:13Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gossling's Met Gala moment,
47:24a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:27I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:30What is that bitch doing here?
47:43Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:48My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:52I didn't expect to see you here.
47:55I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:01I multitask.
48:03Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:08You 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.
48:20Pregnant women talk, you know.
48:22Three ex-employees and a viable CEO.
48:25What's next?
48:26A fake sale?
48:28Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:30You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:33And what real loyalty looks like.
48:45Sean, I'm glad you could make it.
48:51We have something very special to show you.
48:56Vic.
49:00I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:03Congratulations.
49:05Thank you, Sean.
49:06It's good to see you.
49:08Let's begin the pitches.
49:11You ready to lose?
49:13You're out of your league.
49:14You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:25First up, me and McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:46Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:57Beautiful work.
49:59Both teams.
50:04We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:06After careful consideration, we're awarding Project 2.
50:17Maison Laveau.
50:18This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:35What 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?
50:46Did you even read the brief?
50:50I mean, you must have read the brief.
50:53It's not complicated.
50:54It says, no synthetic blend.
50:57I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
51:00Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:02A mistake?
51:03I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:07Victoria, please, tell these amateurs why you pulled your last design.
51:12I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:24I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
51:27And that's why Victoria is the best.
51:30She actually pays attention.
51:31After reviewing all of the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
51:36The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline, which are there.
51:39Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:45Mia'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, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:03That's a new low, even for you.
52:14Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:18So you know, I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
52:25Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:28We're suspending all collaborations.
52:30Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:44You're blacklisted.
52:50Victoria, please.
52:51Victoria, please.
52:51I'll do anything, please.
53:08Just help me save the company, the brand that you built for 15 years.
53:12You made your choices, Holly.
53:14Now you live with them.
53:16Why don't we win too far?
53:25Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:31Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
53:34To the best comeback in fashion history, and to the women who made it happen.
53:51And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:54Mom, you might want to see this.
54:10Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:14Happy birthday to you!
54:17Guys, look!
54:25Maison Laveau on the brink?
54:27The scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:30Ouch!
54:31I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:34It's strange, isn't it?
54:36We gave them everything.
54:45Late nights, weekends, all the best years, and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:53Now it's all crashing down.
54:54I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:57Honestly, it's a weird mix.
55:00Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
55:03Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
55:07Look at this!
55:10Joven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
55:16Victoria, this is you!
55:18You did this!
55:20Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
55:26Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
55:29Careful, Vincent.
55:32You almost forgot the best part.
55:45Victoria Winter.
55:50Will you marry me?
55:51Yes!
55:59Yes!
56:01A thousand times, yes!
56:02Woo!
56:03Woo!
56:03Woo!
56:06Take my heart with hope for your hands.
56:12I've been spending all my days just trying to find a way.
56:17You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:44I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:47When word got out you left. Clients bailed. The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.
56:58You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
57:01I know. I know.
57:14My father. The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:23I destroyed everything.
57:25I thought slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:30I don't mean for it to end like this.
57:34Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it. Last week.
57:39The brand. The archives. Even the debt. It's part of Jeven now.
57:46If you want it, why would you do that?
57:48To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:54You win, Victoria. I hope you do better than I did.
58:03I'll do it differently.
58:06Goodbye, Holly.
58:08Goodbye, Holly.
58:09Goodbye, Holly.
58:10Goodbye, Holly.
58:11Goodbye, Holly.
58:13Goodbye, Holly.
58:15Goodbye, Holly.
58:16Miss Wintour. I just... I wanted to thank you.
58:18Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave. I can keep working and have my baby. You changed everything.
58:43Everything. Congratulations. Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
58:58Ready?
59:02Always.
59:13And now, Jovan's new collection designed by Victoria Wintour and your team.
