00:26:37Hey, Van.
00:26:38Mind grabbing me my other shirt?
00:26:40It's in my wardrobe.
00:26:42Sure.
00:26:45His wife must be out.
00:26:55Where's all his wife's stuff?
00:27:04Why is it like no woman has ever lived here?
00:27:08Alex?
00:27:10I have your shirt.
00:27:11Here.
00:27:21Can you, uh, help me with my back?
00:27:23I have a sore muscle.
00:27:25It's...
00:27:27It's a little bit in pain.
00:27:29Sure.
00:27:32Mm-hmm.
00:27:41It's...
00:27:47Is that a no?
00:27:49Ahh...
00:27:50A little lower.
00:27:55Mm-hmm.
00:27:58I...
00:28:02There.
00:28:11I mean, you've already seen my abs, so it's a little more.
00:28:29Seriously, at least.
00:28:41Is his wife back?
00:28:53If it's his wife, I hope she doesn't get the wrong idea.
00:28:57Sorry, I can never remember the code.
00:29:01Oh, hi.
00:29:03Hi, I'm Alex's new assistant, Vanessa.
00:29:07Van. Charlotte. Nice to meet you.
00:29:10Keeping up your tradition of hiring pretty faces? I see.
00:29:14Is she warning me?
00:29:16Hey, we're starving. Can you make some dinner right away?
00:29:22You just tell her to cook like that?
00:29:24I mean, that's what she's here for.
00:29:26Hey, can you make some fruit for Van too? She hasn't eaten all day.
00:29:30No, no, I'm fine, really. I'm okay.
00:29:32Charlotte, peel the apples.
00:29:34Of course.
00:29:35You shouldn't speak to her like that. She's pregnant.
00:29:38Pregnant? What are you talking about?
00:29:40Oh, honey, I promise. That's not what's happening here.
00:29:46Something's off with them. It's like every comment means something else.
00:29:53Okay, dinner's ready.
00:29:56Okay?
00:30:02Oh, thank you.
00:30:09Alright, dig in.
00:30:17Oh.
00:30:18Hey, Van, you okay?
00:30:20It's fine.
00:30:22It's fine. I think I'm just not very used to the smell of rosemary.
00:30:31Please come join us.
00:30:33No, no, no. She'll eat after we finish.
00:30:37Okay, I can't stand this anymore. She's your wife, not your servant.
00:30:40My what?
00:30:45Charlotte's my housekeeper.
00:30:49Oh, your housekeeper.
00:30:51Charlotte's my housekeeper.
00:30:54Oh, your housekeeper.
00:30:59I'm sorry. I think it's just been a long day and I think I just need some rest.
00:31:04Oh, hey. If something's wrong, you can talk to me.
00:31:16Between the break-in and move-in here, guess it's all hitting her at once.
00:31:23Uh, Charlotte, can you go check on her?
00:31:27Yeah.
00:31:30Man, these pregnancy hormones are no joke.
00:31:37I'm reading into every little thing.
00:31:45Then, um, it's just me.
00:31:47Alex had a knee surgery last year and this was the only thing that helped him to get comfortable.
00:31:54My help was your current situation.
00:31:58What?
00:32:01Oh, I don't need, uh...
00:32:04You almost threw up at the dinner twice.
00:32:07Are you pregnant, right?
00:32:09Um...
00:32:11Does Alex know?
00:32:13He's going to be so happy!
00:32:18What's all this for?
00:32:20That is pregnant!
00:32:22So, when are you two making it official?
00:32:24What?
00:32:27Is it true?
00:32:29He's so excited.
00:32:32Yes.
00:32:34Okay, when were you planning on telling me?
00:32:36Shhh...
00:32:39You've even made me think I was falling for you.
00:32:43I wasn't trying to keep it from you.
00:32:46If I hadn't even walked by, were you even going to tell me?
00:32:48Are you even going to tell me?
00:32:55So tell me.
00:32:57Who's the father?
00:33:00Should I tell him I'm a surrogate?
00:33:02As is in a terrible mood today.
00:33:12Just be careful.
00:33:14You, wait outside.
00:33:15Anything else, Ms. Scott?
00:33:33I already told you I wasn't trying to hide the pregnancy from you.
00:33:36I've heard your excuse.
00:33:44Why don't we talk about who the father is instead?
00:33:48You're under my roof.
00:33:50I should know who might come looking for you.
00:33:53I can't tell him I'm a surrogate.
00:33:57My...ex...
00:34:00He...
00:34:02He disappeared when he found out I was pregnant.
00:34:06What's his name?
00:34:11I'll take care of it.
00:34:15Hey, a guy like that doesn't deserve you.
00:34:20You've had a good heart, Ben.
00:34:23I'm glad you think so.
00:34:27Boss.
00:34:30Uh, what is it?
00:34:32The Baby Clothings Expo.
00:34:34You're 20 minutes late.
00:34:35Right.
00:34:36Okay, uh, bring the car up.
00:34:38You promised to bring a female executive?
00:34:40You're with me.
00:34:53Oh, excuse me.
00:34:55Here for the new class?
00:34:57Class?
00:34:58We're supposed to be at a children's clothing expo?
00:35:00No.
00:35:01No.
00:35:02That...
00:35:03You must be at the wrong place.
00:35:04This is for a new parents' class.
00:35:19Nate, why am I at a new parents' class instead of a children's clothing expo?
00:35:23They got the wrong address.
00:35:24Guys!
00:35:25Come on in.
00:35:26Plenty of seats left.
00:35:27We're not here for the...
00:35:28Everyone's nervous at first, but these are the skills that you need to know if we're
00:35:29newlyweds.
00:35:30Skills are good.
00:35:31Go.
00:35:32Go.
00:35:33I promise you.
00:35:34Come on.
00:35:35Okay.
00:35:36Come on.
00:35:37Come on.
00:35:38Okay.
00:35:39Come on.
00:35:40Come on.
00:35:41Come on.
00:35:42Okay.
00:35:43Come on.
00:35:44Come on.
00:35:53We're here.
00:35:54Might as well learn something.
00:35:57Nate said this teacher's on awards and stuff.
00:36:00Hi.
00:36:01Exciting.
00:36:02Exciting.
00:36:03Exciting.
00:36:04I'm sure.
00:36:05Thank you so much for coming.
00:36:07Amazing.
00:36:08So in love.
00:36:09Very.
00:36:10Let's get started.
00:36:11So we're going to be doing the supportive position for a birthing today.
00:36:16Moms, I want you to go in between dad's legs, backs against his chest.
00:36:21Dad, I want you to hold your wife's hands.
00:36:24This connection is everything.
00:36:26I'm going to show you really quick.
00:36:28So you're here.
00:36:29I want you to turn around, turn around.
00:36:31Hold the hands.
00:36:32And then mom, you're just going to kind of lift up a little bit.
00:36:36Yeah.
00:36:37And we'll just kind of open up there.
00:36:39You slide in.
00:36:40And we'll hold her hands.
00:36:43Yep.
00:36:44Perfect.
00:36:45I guess she must have misunderstood what's going on between us.
00:36:52Doesn't matter.
00:36:54Looking kind of nervous.
00:36:56Not much physical contact with guys.
00:37:00Make it sound like you're some kind of expert.
00:37:03What are you doing?
00:37:06I'm an expert now.
00:37:08Am I?
00:37:09How about you guys demonstrate for the class?
00:37:13Not much physical contact with guys.
00:37:14Um.
00:37:15What are you doing?
00:37:16What are you doing?
00:37:17What are you doing?
00:37:18What are you doing?
00:37:19What are you doing?
00:37:20What are you doing?
00:37:21What are you doing?
00:37:22Oh.
00:37:23Um.
00:37:24See dad.
00:37:25That's how attentive you should be.
00:37:27See that? That's how attentive you should be.
00:37:41I wish this moment could last forever.
00:37:43Look at those protective instincts. They're the perfect couple guys.
00:37:57That's all for today. Thank you guys so much for coming.
00:38:02Thank you so much. It was wonderful. Absolutely. Let's stand up here.
00:38:08Be careful. Watch your bellies.
00:38:16Guess we should leave.
00:38:18Might as well keep up with appearances.
00:38:27They did. That was certainly something.
00:38:34Do you call them?
00:38:36No. No. No. I'm fine. You don't have to.
00:38:39It's all good.
00:38:44Well.
00:38:45There you go.
00:38:46Thank you, Mr. Moore.
00:38:48You know, I wish you'd just call me Alex.
00:38:51People at the offices might get the wrong idea.
00:38:54Yeah, what about the people at home?
00:38:56Even me.
00:38:59Mr. Moore at the office.
00:39:01And...
00:39:03Alex at home.
00:39:05Perfect.
00:39:10One second.
00:39:14We still haven't heard back from your surrogate about the paternity test.
00:39:17Maybe you should talk to her directly.
00:39:20All right. Send me your info.
00:39:23Uh, your phone.
00:39:34Hello?
00:39:35Hey, since we haven't heard back about the paternity test, client wants to handle this directly now.
00:39:40I'm sending you his number.
00:39:41Why does this number look so familiar?
00:39:50Is... something wrong?
00:39:53Uh...
00:39:54Is it the debt collectors again?
00:39:55No, it's just...
00:39:57Just work stuff.
00:39:58Oh god, it's the surrogate client.
00:40:11I can't answer this here.
00:40:14You'll find out what I am.
00:40:19Are you done with your call? Should we head back?
00:40:21You know, that rang for a while. Why didn't you pick up?
00:40:24Oh, it was... it was just a client.
00:40:27Then why did you hang up?
00:40:30Uh, that's not how we treat clients.
00:40:33Well, I...
00:40:34Then.
00:40:35If it's the debt collectors or anything else, you know you can come to me, right?
00:40:39I know.
00:40:40I know.
00:40:42I know.
00:40:43And I really appreciate it.
00:40:47Should we get back to the office?
00:40:49Yeah.
00:40:50Uh, hold on.
00:40:51I gotta...
00:40:52take care of something really quick.
00:40:53Sure.
00:40:54Hey, Ms. Scott.
00:40:55I'm the father of your baby.
00:40:56Let's meet today at Sitmo Cafe.
00:40:582pm.
00:40:59Come along, please.
00:41:00Actually, there's, um, something I have to handle at a... a cafe.
00:41:11Which one?
00:41:13Uh, Sitmo?
00:41:15Sitmo.
00:41:16What are the odds? That's exactly where I'm headed.
00:41:20We should go together.
00:41:22Actually, um, there's just some materials I need to grab from the office first, but, uh, you go ahead.
00:41:28But I'll see you there.
00:41:31Okay.
00:41:46Alex!
00:41:49Doc, uh, why are you here?
00:41:51Because your surrogate wasn't comfortable meeting you one-on-one.
00:41:54She asked if I could be here.
00:41:57Alright, uh...
00:41:58Where is she?
00:41:59Come back from work.
00:42:00Where are you going?
00:42:01Where are you going?
00:42:02You here?
00:42:04Who is this client you're meeting?
00:42:05What?
00:42:06Why are you so nervous?
00:42:07Where is this client?
00:42:08Who is this client you're meeting?
00:42:09Why are you so nervous?
00:42:10Where is this client?
00:42:11Where is this client?
00:42:12Where is this client?
00:42:13Who is this client you're meeting?
00:42:14Why are you so nervous?
00:42:16Where is this client?
00:42:17You're coming back?
00:42:19Your mother's back from France.
00:42:20She wants you and Van at her cocktail party.
00:42:24Why are you so nervous?
00:42:25Who is this client?
00:42:30Client you're meeting.
00:42:31Client.
00:42:32Why are you so nervous?
00:42:35Where is this client?
00:42:43Boss, your mother's back from France.
00:42:45She wants you and Van at her cocktail party, this afternoon.
00:42:48Fine, I got it.
00:42:51Is something wrong?
00:42:53Yeah, my mother's back.
00:42:55Oh, well if you need to go see her,
00:42:56I can stay here and wait for you.
00:42:57She wants to meet you.
00:43:00Hmm.
00:43:06Hey, come with me.
00:43:09His mother, has she heard about us living together?
00:43:12I won't force you if you don't want to.
00:43:15No, no, no, I am, I'll go.
00:43:19Whatever she's after, I'm not letting him face her alone.
00:43:23Hey, if anyone gives you trouble,
00:43:27they answer to me, all right?
00:43:30I know.
00:43:32Ms. Scott!
00:43:33Oh!
00:43:37Um, I'm gonna go wait outside and see if Nate's here.
00:43:40Uh, yeah, you're gonna have to handle this surrogate meeting.
00:43:53After all, I have to go wrangle my mother.
00:43:56Wait, what do you mean?
00:43:57Wasn't that just her?
00:43:59Who?
00:44:00Who?
00:44:05Her?
00:44:06Forget it.
00:44:07Just handle this meeting, all right?
00:44:10Cool.
00:44:11Too many surgeries lately.
00:44:18Mother?
00:44:19This is Vanessa Scott, my assistant.
00:44:22Really nice to meet you.
00:44:24Not much to look at.
00:44:27Why don't you go check out the garden?
00:44:30Mother and I need to have a chat.
00:44:33Of course.
00:44:34Of course.
00:44:35I'll see you later.
00:44:41All right, Mom.
00:44:42Leave her alone or the money train stops.
00:44:45Living with your assistant now?
00:44:48Really?
00:44:49And is this random employee going to be around my future grandchild?
00:44:55Because a child needs breeding.
00:44:58Stability.
00:45:01Not some desperate girl clearly hiding something.
00:45:06That's rich coming from you.
00:45:08You know, you were never much of a mother.
00:45:10So you don't get to decide who's in my life or who's around my child.
00:45:24Bring that girl here.
00:45:25I've been here for three hours and still no sign of your surrogate.
00:45:38She's definitely dodging us.
00:45:40Keep trying to reach her.
00:45:42I am sending you my lawyer's number now.
00:45:45If it comes down to it, loop him in.
00:45:48Boss, Ben's in trouble.
00:45:55Butler's taking her to the garden right now.
00:45:58Ask your mother.
00:45:59She's got that look in her eye.
00:46:01Ah, dammit.
00:46:02All right, let's go.
00:46:08You wanted to see me?
00:46:12Leave my son.
00:46:13Take the money and disappear.
00:46:18I think there's been a mistake.
00:46:21Mr. Moore and I are just colleagues.
00:46:24Just colleagues?
00:46:26Please.
00:46:27You're living under his roof.
00:46:30And you show up as a hostess?
00:46:33Not what you think.
00:46:34I need this job.
00:46:35Three million dollars.
00:46:37Take the money and walk away.
00:46:40Perhaps I should be more direct, Miss Scott.
00:46:44Or would you prefer to be called surrogate?
00:46:48How did you...
00:46:49I had someone look into it.
00:46:51You became a surrogate for someone else.
00:46:54Alex doesn't need some knocked-up schemer complicating his life.
00:47:07You don't know shit about me.
00:47:09I'm just trying to make it and I only take money that I've earned.
00:47:15Leave on your own or I'll make you disappear.
00:47:18One way or another, you're leaving Alex's life, you little bitch.
00:47:23Who exactly are you planning to make disappear?
00:47:27We're done here.
00:47:28You're choosing this gold digger over your own mother?
00:47:32Don't.
00:47:34Alex, baby.
00:47:35You have no idea who she really is.
00:47:38I know exactly who she is.
00:47:40She's...
00:47:41Kind.
00:47:43Talented.
00:47:45And real.
00:47:46You let this little con artist fool you.
00:47:50Fooled.
00:47:51You would know all about that, wouldn't you?
00:47:53What are you talking about?
00:47:54Oh, you don't remember when I was eight years old?
00:47:56You went overseas to get me the best toys in the world.
00:48:00Yeah, truth is you were running off with your boy toy, Frederick,
00:48:03and I haven't trusted you since.
00:48:06Ahem.
00:48:21Thank you for defending me.
00:48:23My baggage.
00:48:25Will you stay with me?
00:48:28For now.
00:48:35Miss Scott, where were you?
00:48:40You didn't show.
00:48:42Um, something came up.
00:48:44Fine.
00:48:45The client's lawyer will be at the cafe in an hour.
00:48:47Don't be late again.
00:48:53Who was that?
00:48:55The client.
00:48:58The way she's avoiding my eyes.
00:49:00That nervous energy.
00:49:02Yeah, something definitely up with her.
00:49:03So, uh, what's with all the secrecy?
00:49:07You know what?
00:49:08I'm gonna come with you to, uh, meet this client.
00:49:11No, no.
00:49:12It's...
00:49:13I've got it handled.
00:49:20I understand Kevin brought you up to speed.
00:49:22I'm here to walk you through the paternity agreement.
00:49:23I'm not signing something that insults my integrity like this.
00:49:35Listen, I get why you're upset.
00:49:37That's why we're offering extra money as part of the agreement.
00:49:42I am sick of people just throwing money at me.
00:49:45I'm sorry, but no paycheck can make treating you like they're okay.
00:49:51Sir, your surrogate is flat out refusing to sign the papers.
00:49:55You've gotta be kidding me.
00:49:57At this point, you might just have to do this one on your own.
00:50:00Whatever. Set it up at my office. Make it sooner.
00:50:15Hey, Van? You here?
00:50:25No.
00:50:26Van?
00:50:27Hey, Van. Are you alright?
00:50:29Should I call a doctor?
00:50:30No, I'm fine.
00:50:31Okay.
00:50:33Lawyer, do you need to...
00:50:38Let me, let me...
00:50:41Alright, being pregnant must be hard.
00:50:42Let me help carry some of the weight.
00:51:03Hey, Nate. What helps with pregnancy sickness?
00:51:05Pregnancy sickness?
00:51:07Boss, don't scare me like that.
00:51:09Just answer the question.
00:51:10I'll send you a recipe, but you gotta tell me.
00:51:17I'm gonna make you some lemon tea.
00:51:20Should help with the nausea.
00:51:26Yeah, good girl. Just wait for me.
00:51:30You're so thoughtful.
00:51:33Your wife must be really lucky.
00:51:35How about being my wife and making me the happiest man?
00:51:41Don't you already have a wife?
00:51:45I, uh...
00:51:47Love my...
00:51:53Here.
00:51:54I got it.
00:51:55Yeah.
00:51:56Just let me, okay?
00:52:05Alex, you're like...
00:52:08The best boss in the world.
00:52:11Boss wouldn't do that.
00:52:14And she heard Nate call me the ice game.
00:52:16You know, after what happened earlier, maybe we should get you checked out.
00:52:31I can't reach your surrogate to set the meeting.
00:52:34She's good at disappearing.
00:52:37Uh, fine. I'll take care of it myself. Just know I'm cutting your fee in half.
00:52:41Dana's right.
00:52:43Total ice king vibe.
00:52:57Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.
00:52:59Are you okay?
00:53:01Oh, my stomach hurts so much.
00:53:04I'm calling you a doctor.
00:53:06Let me help you out.
00:53:10Well, Mr. Moore, your wife and your baby are doing just fine.
00:53:25Oh, I'm not his wife.
00:53:27She's in pain. Can we do anything about that?
00:53:31Massage work.
00:53:33Thoroughly apply it daily, and that should help with the discomfort.
00:53:38I can...
00:53:40I can manage.
00:53:42Bet his wife wouldn't love him giving me a massage.
00:53:45Another person thinking she's my...
00:53:47No wonder she pulled away.
00:53:50Let me help.
00:53:52Alex, what do you...
00:53:55Just...
00:53:57Let me take care of you, okay?
00:54:03Does that hurt?
00:54:04He's being so gentle and attentive.
00:54:07His wife is so lucky.
00:54:12Um...
00:54:14I feel better now.
00:54:17The doctor said to be thorough, alright?
00:54:20I don't want you hurting later.
00:54:22It's fine.
00:54:24Oh...

00:54:35I feel better now.
00:54:36I'm coming with you.
00:54:37Alex!
00:54:38God, I missed you.
00:54:39Hey, hey, hey.
00:54:40Miss Green.
00:54:41In the office, our CEO prefers to be called Mr. Moore.
00:54:42Oh, come on.
00:54:43We're too close for that, right?
00:54:44You're here for the fall kettlebells.
00:54:45You're here for the fall kettlebells.
00:54:46Mm-hmm.
00:54:47Mm-hmm.
00:54:48They're waiting for you down the hall in Studio C.
00:54:49Oh.
00:54:50So...
00:54:51Just stay here and rest.
00:54:52Just stay here and rest.
00:54:53I gotta take care of someone out of the office.
00:54:54Alright?
00:54:55Well, I feel better.
00:54:56I'm coming with you.
00:54:58Alex!
00:54:59God, I missed you.
00:55:00Hey, hey, hey.
00:55:01Miss Green.
00:55:03In the office, our CEO prefers to be called Mr. Moore.
00:55:07Oh, come on.
00:55:08We're too close for that, right?
00:55:10You're here for the fall kettlebells shoot, right?
00:55:12Mm-hmm.
00:55:13They're waiting for you down the hall in Studio C.
00:55:15Oh, Studio C.
00:55:17Just like old times.
00:55:19Well, you're coming to the shoot, right?
00:55:22Actually, Van is coordinating this one.
00:55:27Oh.
00:55:28Van, this is Jenny Green, our lead model.
00:55:31It's nice to meet you.
00:55:32Likewise.
00:55:38So, you're Alex's new secretary.
00:55:41I'm Mr. Moore's executive assistant.
00:55:44Call yourself whatever you want, honey.
00:55:47But don't get any ideas.
00:55:50Alex is mine.
00:55:52Is she Alex's wife?
00:55:54Anyways, I brought you a little welcome gift.
00:55:57You know, to welcome you to New Wave.
00:56:02What's wrong?
00:56:03Are you refusing my gift?
00:56:05No, I put a lot of thought into this.
00:56:09All right.
00:56:10Thanks.
00:56:12Mm-hmm.
00:56:14Oh!
00:56:16Oh, Van, honey.
00:56:17You're so jumpy.
00:56:20Wait, are you pregnant?
00:56:21Hey, what's going on?
00:56:23I gave Van a welcome gift and she just threw it on the floor.
00:56:26Are you feeling sick?
00:56:27Wait, Alex already knows she's pregnant?
00:56:31And the way he's touching his stomach.
00:56:34God, is she carrying his baby?
00:56:41Take your things and get the fuck out of my company.
00:56:44You're kicking me out over her?
00:56:47What about the fall catalog?
00:56:48Oh, you wear clothes, Jenny.
00:56:51A mannequin can do your job.
00:56:54But, Van, she's not just my assist.
00:56:58She's irreplaceable.
00:57:02I'm your fiancé.
00:57:04Fiancé?
00:57:05Is she pregnant too?
00:57:07My mother chose you.
00:57:10That's all you'll ever be.
00:57:12Her choice.
00:57:13And I sent her meddling ass back to France, understand?
00:57:17I don't believe you.
00:57:18Okay, believe whatever you want, but call me your fiancé again.
00:57:22And I'll make sure every agency in this city knows exactly who you are.
00:57:27Are we clear?
00:57:29I'm gonna make sure that you find out who your new secretary really is.
00:57:38Executive assistant.
00:57:50Detective, tell me you found something.
00:57:52Vanessa Scott, pregnant alright.
00:57:54Booth ears the kicker.
00:57:55Off the record.
00:57:56A nurse at her doc's office told Mesh basically a professional baby oven.
00:58:01Getting paid to pop out someone else's kid.
00:58:05Oh, you are worth every penny.
00:58:08I'll send you the money right away.
00:58:15Oh, Van.
00:58:16Meet me at the café downstairs,
00:58:18or I'll tell everyone what kind of mother-to-be you really are.
00:58:22What are you trying to pull?
00:58:28Pack your shit and vanish, or this goes public.
00:58:36Is that it?
00:58:38Mr. Moore knows that I'm pregnant.
00:58:41Oh, but he doesn't know that you're a walking rent-a-womb.
00:58:45A walking what?
00:58:48No, I don't think you'll be so irreplaceable once Alex finds out that you're popping out a baby for money.
00:58:57Prove it.
00:58:59Oh.
00:59:00Awkward.
00:59:01You can't, can you?
00:59:04Fine.
00:59:05Why don't you come to my welcome back party tonight?
00:59:10And then we'll see how tough you really are.
00:59:14No can do.
00:59:16Sorry.
00:59:17Got a full schedule of literally anything else.
00:59:21How's your sister doing?
00:59:23Sophia, right?
00:59:25She's still recovering from her surgery.
00:59:28What are you planning?
00:59:30Looks like anything else.
00:59:33Just got canceled.
00:59:37Fine.
00:59:39We'll go.
00:59:43After tonight, you'll be nothing but a bad memory.
00:59:50Hmm.
00:59:52Enjoying the party?
00:59:54I came.
00:59:55I saw.
00:59:57And I'm leaving.
00:59:58No, no, no.
00:59:59You need to have a drink first.
01:00:01I promise.
01:00:02It's just a regular, baby-friendly orange juice.
01:00:08Darling, look what you did to your dress.
01:00:11Shit.
01:00:12I borrowed this dress.
01:00:14It's ruined.
01:00:15I can't afford to replace it.
01:00:17You know, sweetie, that is never coming out.
01:00:20You could just dye the rest of the dress orange and then you'd look like a fancy parking cone.
01:00:26Don't touch me, you psycho!
01:00:29Yeah, I'm the mentally unwell one here, Miss Assault and Battery.
01:00:36Jenny, this is your last warning. Don't touch her.
01:00:41Don't worry. I'm here.
01:00:46Oh my god, you must be cold in that white dress.
01:00:49Nate, collection?
01:00:57I wanted to surprise you.
01:00:59Pick one.
01:01:00Pick one.
01:01:01Those are Dior one-offs.
01:01:03That red one is seven figures.
01:01:05Who the hell is she to hem?
01:01:11Oh, Alex, darling, you shouldn't have. I'll just-
01:01:15Jenny, know your place.
01:01:17They're all so beautiful. I don't know which-
01:01:20Wow. Like it was made for you.
01:01:44Jenny who?
01:01:45May I have this dance, princess?
01:01:50Enjoy your Cinderella moment. Midnight's coming.
01:01:54Well, and here I thought I had the only surprise tonight. Speaking of which, who's ready for a little adventure?
01:02:16We have something special planned. An escape room challenge. Time to separate the problem solvers from the party goers.
01:02:30Remember the arrangement? Tonight's the night she disappears.
01:02:33Hope we'll be on the same team.
01:02:35Yeah, me too.
01:02:46I'll see you soon. I have a feeling we'll be teammates.
01:02:59Just wait. You'll see.
01:03:10After tonight, you're finished.
01:03:13Great. Everybody to your signed rooms.
01:03:34I wonder who my partner will be.
01:03:41Hi.
01:03:44Looks like we're stuck together.
01:03:48Guess so. Trying to find our way out of here?
01:03:50Yeah, I think there's a clue hidden in this riddle.
01:03:58Do you think that means that there's like a key somewhere in the bookshelf?
01:04:02She's in this one.
01:04:13Who knows what happens?
01:04:15Who knows what happens to you?
01:04:16Who knows what happens to me.
01:04:17Who knows what happens to me.
