00:00I love the instruction now, but not bad.
00:06Shit.
00:07No, no, no, no, no, no...
00:10No, the system crashed and made it upload!
00:12Now the collection is the wrong season.
00:13We want everything!
00:15I'm on runway, it's been 48 hours.
00:19Production starts with these buff designs so they're all dead.
00:25The production starts with these bust designs, they're all dead.
00:28Not just fire, they're dead.
00:30How many collapses our careers are over?
00:33Come out here and talk to us, we have 8 million tied up in this collection.
00:38I am the bastard, Andrew.
00:40Right now, one word for me, your age is poison!
00:55Enough!
00:59Vic!
01:01Mia, Japanese Indigo.
01:04Miranda, call production, emergency protocol 7.
01:08Pauline, and Liz Vultures.
01:15Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:1928 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2327 now.
01:25Tick-tock.
01:45Engine, crisis averted.
01:48I swear to God, you are not human.
01:5027 minutes?
01:52Holy shit, pre-orders are flying in.
01:55This will shatter every record.
02:03Vic?
02:04Are you okay?
02:07Just...
02:08Braxton Hicks.
02:09Nothing too.
02:10Oh my god, your water broke.
02:11Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:25Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:27Dad called.
02:28He wanted to know if we should come, but...
02:29I told him that he lost his visiting privilege since he decided that his assistance man was
02:40more comfortable than ours.
02:42That's my girl.
02:43Well, the company's yours now, Holly.
02:56But there's a condition.
02:59We need to slash costs.
03:00We need to slash costs.
03:01Immediately.
03:02Layoffs?
03:03That's it without leave.
03:04Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:08Well, just remember, we'll ever clean up that Mulan disaster and get immunity.
03:19In fact, they deserve a promotion.
03:23No way this Victoria went or saved the company since she's not even there.
03:34Boss, the Mulan collection crisis?
03:37A burden.
03:38Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:39You saved the entire collection?
03:42Impressive.
03:43Oh, Ashley.
03:45How about I make you the new creative director?
03:47Starting today.
03:48Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:52She's offering Victoria his job?
03:55I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:03But Victoria-
04:04Don't worry about her.
04:05I'm not useless.
04:06I'm gonna snap fire.
04:13You know that collection I just rescued up?
04:15I hid something in the design.
04:18Your initials and no little graces.
04:21Hold them right in the fabric.
04:29And that's going to give a long runway?
04:31Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:34Enough for your full tuition and private school.
04:37Mom, if we have to...
04:39We're going to that private school.
04:41No discussion.
04:42No discussion.
04:43Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:46This job will keep us apart.
04:48I love you, Mom.
04:50I love you, Mom.
05:00Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:05After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:11Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:27What the hell?
05:28Listen up, everyone.
05:29Victoria Winter is terminated.
05:30Effective immediately.
05:31You can't just do that.
05:32She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:33There are laws against this.
05:34Vic worked while in labor.
05:35She's a creative backbone of Misele Nouveau.
05:36Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:37These preggos are bleeding us dry.
05:38Everything okay here?
05:39No.
05:40No.
05:41No.
05:42No.
05:43No.
05:44No.
05:45No.
05:46No.
05:47No.
05:48No.
05:49No.
05:50No.
05:51No.
05:52No.
05:53No.
05:54No.
05:55No.
05:56No.
05:57No.
05:58No.
05:59No.
06:00No.
06:01No.
06:02No.
06:03No.
06:04No.
06:05No.
06:06No.
06:07No.
06:08No.
06:09No.
06:10No.
06:11No.
06:12No.
06:13No.
06:14No.
06:15No.
06:16No.
06:17No.
06:18No.
06:19No.
06:20No.
06:21No.
06:22No.
06:23No.
06:24No.
06:25No.
06:26No.
06:27No.
06:28No.
06:29No.
06:30No.
06:31That's ancient history. The world wants fresh blood. And me eager to save the entire long collection.
06:44I'm the one who...
06:47Me or you...
06:50Feel that curve. That's her signature.
06:54That's what makes it me sound a little.
06:56How could you? I taught you everything you know.
07:10I wish things were different, Vic.
07:14I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:19What happens to my team?
07:25Miranda pulled all managed for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:31Things cost so bad she had to get hair, implants.
07:35Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:40These 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.
07:51No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection today.
07:55That's corporate America for you.
07:57Or, we can shift the math.
08:00You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:05Think of it as...
08:08Taking one for the team.
08:10Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:13Aunt Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:17They can't lose their jobs.
08:22Come on, Vic, because they care about them.
08:25Prove it.
08:26fluently.
08:27Mm.
08:29No, no.
08:30No, no.
08:32You wanna know more.
08:33You're a bitch.
08:34No, no.
08:36No.
08:38No, no, no.
08:40No, no, no, no.
08:42No, no, no, no.
08:44No, no, no.
08:46No, no.
08:47No, no.
08:49No, no, no.
08:51No, no, no, no.
08:52No, you're not nowadays.
08:53That's my severest package after 15 years, that's what I'm worth to-
09:06Be careful. I got you.
09:22I got you.
09:28Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:32Hi. High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:47So, it's true. Great Vittoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving us on the Lowe's Mulan collection.
09:57How do you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:07Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:11What are you getting at exactly?
10:15I'm talking about you and me. Partners. You're genius. My money. No corporate BS. No one holding you back.
10:27I found a baby to think about now.
10:35And I have an empty corner office with you and an attached nursery. Just saying.
10:45Vincent Chevalier, wow. You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin our corporate nemesis thrown into the office.
10:53You got your spine here?
10:55Don't mind me. I'm just getting Victoria here. Soft landing. Triple her salary. Corner office.
11:05You know. Before the vultures at L.B. or Chanel swooping.
11:09I want to see your dumpster diving now. Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:17It's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:23I mean the jacket, it's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:27The earrings, it's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:31If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:37Shit, shit, shit.
11:39What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this.
11:48Actually, those were my designs.
11:53What did you just say?
11:55The spring collection. The Cartier pieces.
11:59I designed them. Under your supervision of course, but they came from me.
12:04Oops. Looks like you've been backing your own horse, Vincent.
12:08I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:12Let explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:18So what, sketches get past her all the time. It doesn't really squat.
12:26Maybe she was in the middle, what did they call it?
12:29Breast designer?
12:31And the logo?
12:34The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
12:38It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:41Mommy, I explained it. Maybe shut up.
12:44It's funny. All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's using over, they all have EW and GW's so they do.
12:57Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter. Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:04It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:09Is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
13:13Well Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.
13:19The logo, it's, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:27You lying little bitch!
13:29Black Promotions are saving the company.
13:36Look at the logo again. It's not EW or GW. It's actually two M's.
13:44M-M for McMichael, my last name.
13:49See? One M flipped. One upright. It's not for Grace or Emily. It's mine.
13:59That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:03Oh my gosh, she's right. It does look more like two M's.
14:08You manipulate me.
14:10She really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:14You learned well, Mia. Maybe too long.
14:18You'll regret this.
14:22Come on, let's see. We don't have to see today.
14:26Okay.
14:27Let me drive you over here.
14:29My furor is outside.
14:31If I got this, you shouldn't be carrying anywhere.
14:35Through.
14:39Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:41I'll just take care of my honor of Paula for you.
14:48That's right. Get the hell out of my company.
14:50Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:53Call of Victoria.
15:03VIP invitation.
15:04Paris fashion week.
15:06Front row.
15:07I feel you'll find it.
15:09Lightning.
15:10Every pregnant woman fired.
15:20All of us.
15:22Just like that.
15:24No severance.
15:25No warning.
15:26Nothing.
15:27My box of insecurity, Esker.
15:29Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:38Their determination.
15:39You won't have to be paid for your sign.
15:41You won't have to be writing a star.
15:44Now, I'm not going to slash you anymore.
15:46Your designs are eagerly lighted.
15:51She'll get your eyes closed.
15:53Oh my god, mom.
16:03This is insane.
16:05I can't believe I'm actually here.
16:07Victoria Wintour.
16:08The nuclear dick.

19:18Price tag?
19:20300,000.
19:22Wow!
19:23You gave her that.
19:25That's right.
19:26We did.
19:28I would give her the entire damn collection if you wanted it.
19:32Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:35Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy.
19:38Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
19:41He's from Hawking Trust Fund.
19:45Victoria's sleeping her way to the top.
19:47It's just so predictably desperate.
19:53You really don't understand real talent, do you?
19:57But those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:03CEO of Jeven.
20:06And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:12I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:15Your brilliance.
20:16Your principles.
20:18Your passion.
20:19Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:25Mom, did you know about this?
20:28I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:31But in the meantime, what I will do is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:39She won't let you down, boss.
20:40You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier. She's nothing but a has-been.
20:45The show's about to start. Your seats are waiting.
20:51Holy shit. The industry gold boy and the creative powerhouse together?
20:54Talk about a power couple. They come in the entire industry.
20:56This isn't over, bitch. Wait till we see what I've prepared for you.
21:21So you seriously didn't love my mom since high school?
21:24Some talents. You recognize me. Some people do.
21:39Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:44This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:47She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:50It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:56I slaved away on those designs. Day and night.
22:01And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:05That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria? Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:16That's enough, Holly.
22:17Everyone thinks you're a creative genius, but I know what you really are. Your 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.
22:37And those kids she's so proud of, who knows who their real fathers are.
22:40How dare you!
22:46Miss Jenkins, Missing Michaels, 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 into the lights.
23:02The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:06We've only got 50 vets lost until showtime.
23:09Is this some kind of sick joke with them all?
23:11You can't send the show because you're incompetent?
23:14This is completely unprofessional.
23:17I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:20This is breach of contract.
23:24It's actually fixable.
23:28You can't seriously be thinking about helping with back-stabbing vultures.
23:33Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:36Mason Villefort appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:39Sources say the entire collection needed to cancel.
23:42Minutes before showtime.
23:44The question on everyone's mind,
23:45is this the end for the once prestigious fashioners?
23:52If this show doesn't happen,
23:54you're personally liable for the Breach Counties.
23:57We're talking villains, Holly.
23:59Villains.
24:02The End
24:15What's this?
24:16Now.

29:27The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:35Five minutes to showtime. We made it.
29:38Well, 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 your talent.
30:02Yeah, right.
30:05This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:08Any big sizes do not make them.
30:16To Victoria.
30:18The real hero of the night.
30:30Mom, you're insane.
30:32I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:36Couldn't have done it without you.
30:39You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't help as an office romance.
30:45Well, well, still hanging around.
30:51I think you're too embarrassed to show your face at the after party. Fraud.
30:56Holly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:01What are you talking about?
31:03Just ask the models. Any of them.
31:06Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement. About Miranda and Holly.
31:12I know.
31:13I know.
31:14I know.
31:15I know.
31:16I know.
31:17I know.
31:19Two new beginnings that should have been.
31:28Speaking of new beginnings, Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:33I want to help with their education.
31:38What?
31:39This and that.
31:40That's too much.
31:41We barely know each other.
31:42Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
31:47I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress.
31:56The one you made from scratch.
31:58I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:05Do you remember that?
32:07I remember everything.
32:10I 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.
32:23And then you worse.
32:25And then you were building your career.
32:28Timing just is never right.
32:32Until now.
32:40I have been away 20 years to do this.
32:59I should probably get this.
33:10Mia?
33:14God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:17That Milan disaster you turned around?
33:19Absolute magic.
33:21And now I have an opportunity that can put you on the map for good.
33:25Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:31Sean Gosling?
33:32The Sean Gosling?
33:34The very one.
33:35Three-time Oscar winner, people's sexiest man alive.
33:38And if you plan our cards right, the next place in the maze only goes anywhere.
33:43They're taking pitches now.
33:45If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:48For you, for the brand.
33:50Where it is, she'll land in the right too.
33:53Land this, Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:01Seal the deal?
34:02I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:05I've got this, Holly.
34:06You won't regret it.
34:08God, what am I going to do?
34:15I can't design menswear.
34:18I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:21Moran and Felina are going too.
34:23I'm completely on my own.
34:26If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:32maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over here.
34:33Maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over here.
34:37Thanks for meeting me.
34:59I know things are complicated between us.
35:01You mentioned Miranda and Pauline?
35:04Cut to the chase.
35:07We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tax.
35:11Miranda and Pauline are also in the game.
35:12Miranda's excellent with Manzor.
35:14She can handle this without me.
35:15Please, wait.
35:16There's more to it.
35:17After Paris, Pauline is someone to blame for the Fabric disaster.
35:21Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:24I've been fighting for them.
35:26Are you serious?
35:27Pauline's due any day now.
35:29Trust me, I know.
35:30This project is our only shot.
35:32If we land it, I can convince Pauline to keep them off.
35:36Have you worked with Sean before?
35:38No, but I've heard you have.
35:40Ages ago.
35:42I did a jacket frame for the Med Gala.
35:45Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept right before I left me on the ball.
35:49Really?
35:50What concept?
35:55Well.
35:56Perfect.
36:10She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:13I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:17Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:20I do.
36:23Actually, I took them with me when I left myself on the ball.
36:28Wait.
36:29Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:32How exactly is she a part of this project?
36:34Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have,
36:38Holly's letting her work from home.
36:39Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:43Of course, Vic.
36:46Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:51Who is going to be?
36:53Take all the time you need.
36:55Mia.
36:57Don't make me regret trusting you.
36:59Again.
37:00Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:20Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:24The Sean Gosselin one with the black sides and lapels?
37:27That's the one.
37:28Can you check my home office?
37:30It should be in the portfolio marked men's formal 2025.
37:34Got it.
37:36Grace is napping.
37:37The perfect timing.
37:38Thanks, sweetie.
37:39I just need to double check something about that.
37:44Shoulder.
37:46Stress.
37:48Mom, are you okay?
37:54Miranda?
37:55Vic?
37:58Mom, mom, what's going on?
38:04Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:07Miranda, what happened?
38:09Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:12Bills don't pay themselves.
38:14You make my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
38:19Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the gossip project.
38:23But, isn't 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.
38:36Just gone.
38:37That's completely illegal.
38:41Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
38:46All at once.
38:47What are the odds, right?
38:50And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:55Her sister, medical bills keep piling up.
38:57And Mia knew about all this.
39:05Mia.
39:07Front row seat when Hal made an announcement.
39:10Didn't blink.
39:12To be said by her in her shiny new creative director title.
39:16She's been using you and Polly to manipulate me.
39:20Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:23What?
39:25That bitch.
39:28This ends now.
39:35Damn it.
39:41Yes, Ms. Michael.
39:42This is right from Milan.
39:44We need approval by human protection.
39:45Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:58What are you all looking at?
40:00Get back to work.
40:02Victoria never treats us.
40:05I heard that.
40:07You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:10Then where is she now?
40:11Gone.
40:12Now I'm in charge.
40:13And if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:17What the hell is going on here?
40:26Just a great disagreement.
40:29Everything is in control.
40:30The gossip is telling you it was something presentable.
40:37Of course, I'm just finalizing the details.
40:39Show me.
40:41It's not quite ready.
40:42Now.
40:48This is garbage.
40:50Absolute garbage.
40:53I just need a little more time.
40:55I don't have more time.
40:56This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
40:58If she then gets this deal instead of us.
41:04What's that?
41:05It's just some inspiration.
41:12I recorded for the design.
41:15I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
41:18Get me when I design it tomorrow morning.
41:21Or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:23I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:48I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:49Right on cue.
41:58Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:01Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:05The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:09She'll get her sketch.
42:11And that's the one who's been in the trial.
42:19You're early.
42:26Vic.
42:27I really need that sketch.
42:33Shh.
42:36I said I'd help.
42:38Not hand over my design.
42:40Polly's all over me about this.
42:42If I don't have something tonight,
42:44Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:46Still lying, Mia.
42:49You'll never learn.
42:50Guess it's payback time.
42:52So, do you want my help or not?
42:55I can walk you through it.
42:56Your design could be just as good.
42:59She's such a snake.
43:02Nick, my stomach is killing me.
43:04Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:08Fine.
43:08But don't touch anything.
43:10Sorry, I survived all the days.
43:38You just let her take your work?
43:53She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
43:58You know, boss,
44:00we could pitch ourselves.
44:02Go after the same clients.
44:04Show them what real design looks like.
44:06We're not out yet.
44:20Or there's a revolution rope.
44:27Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:32You're welcome, Mom.
44:33I want you and your team as your men.
44:42Full creative control.
44:45I'm Miranda.
44:46Your husband's debt.
44:48Handled.
44:49And every casino in the country
44:51has been told he's not welcome.
44:53Mr. Shelley, I...
44:55I'm Pauline.
44:57Your sister is in good hands.
44:59The best heart surgeon in the country
45:02is already prepping for her next surgery.
45:05Mr. Chevalier!
45:07Thank you!
45:08Don't thank me.
45:10Thank Victoria.
45:11I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:15Vincent, I...
45:16I don't even know what to say.
45:20It's about time
45:21you all get what you deserve.
45:22I don't even know what to say.
45:23I don't even know what to say.
45:24I don't even know what to say.
45:24I don't even know what to say.
45:25I don't even know what to say.
45:26I don't even know what to say.
45:27I don't even know what to say.
45:27I don't even know what to say.
45:28I don't even know what to say.
45:28I don't even know what to say.
45:29I don't even know what to say.
45:29I don't even know what to say.
45:30I don't even know what to say.
45:31I don't even know what to say.
45:31I don't even know what to say.
45:32I don't even know what to say.
45:33I don't even know what to say.
45:34I don't even know what to say.
45:35I don't know what to say.
45:36I don't know what to say.
46:07And you're still here.
46:30Final tweaks, the pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:34You've got Grace to sleep.
46:41Yeah.
46:44And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:49Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
46:56Remember, semi, right back to make history.
47:03Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:06We don't follow trends, we create them.
47:10Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Metcalfe moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:22I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:29What is that bitch doing here?
47:36Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:41My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:46I didn't expect to see you here.
47:49I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
47:53I multitask.
47:54Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:00You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategy is working wonders.
48:07The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:10And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:14Pregnant woman in Tokyo, three excellent employees and one of the CEO.
48:19But, like, the base sale?
48:22Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:24You're about to see what real T-Mart looks like.
48:27And what real loyalty looks like.
48:42Sean, glad you could make it.
48:44We have something very special to show you.
48:49Vic.
48:50I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl.
48:55You never know.
48:56Congratulations.
48:57Thank you, Sean.
48:59It's good to see you.
49:00Let's begin the pitches.
49:02You ready to lose?
49:05You're out of your league.
49:07You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:10First up, me and McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:20Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:42Beautiful work.
49:43Both things.
49:44We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
49:46After careful consideration, we're rewarding project two.
49:51Maison Laveau.
49:52Oh, yeah.
49:53Oh, my god!
49:54Of course.
49:55This is what we planned all along.
49:56Wasn't it?
49:57We had a few minutes to discuss.
49:58Both.
49:59Both.
50:00Both.
50:01We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:02We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:03After careful consideration, we're rewarding project two.
50:09Maison Laveau.
50:14Of course.
50:16This is all you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:28What the hell did you people put me in?
50:31Are you trying to kill me?
50:33Mr. Galsing has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:36Who designed this tuxedo?
50:37Did you even read the brief?
50:39I mean...
50:42You must have read the brief. It's not complicated.
50:45It says no synthetic blends.
50:48I mean...
50:49Must be some end mistake.
50:51Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
50:53A mistake?
50:54I could have ended up in the emergency room.
50:57Victoria.
50:59Please, tell these amateurs how you pulled your ass.
51:09I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:14I'd never risk Mr. Galsing's health for a deadline.
51:17And that's why Victoria's the best.
51:19Which actually pays attention.
51:21After reviewing all the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
51:25The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline for that.
51:30Mr. Galsing was just a slip-up.
51:34Mia's design was the front runner all along.
51:37That's why they picked her first.
51:43Maybe everyone should see this.
51:50Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:54Not so new low. Even for you.
52:04Nathan Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:07And so you know...
52:10I will be supporting Victoria's case for this like that.
52:15Nathan Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:18We're suspending all collaborations.
52:24Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:31You're blacklisted.
52:39Victoria, please.
52:49Victoria, please.
52:50I'll do anything.
52:52Please just help me save the company.
52:54The brand you built for 15 years.
52:57You made your choices, Holly.
53:00Now you live with them.
53:03Why didn't we go too far?
53:11Sean Galsing's look tonight is a game changer
53:13crafted by the trailblazing team of Jo Men.
53:15Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
53:20It's the best comeback in fashion history.
53:30And to the women who made it happen.
53:33And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:39Mom, you might want to see this.
53:50Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:52Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:56Happy birthday to you!
54:02Nice.
54:03Look!
54:06Maison Laveau on the brink?
54:08The scandal pushes Tasha and Giant towards bankruptcy.
54:12Ouch!
54:13I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:14It's strange, isn't it?
54:15I gave them everything.
54:16Late nights, weekends, all the best years, and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:30Now it's all crashing down, I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:33Honestly, it's a weird mix.
54:37Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
54:41Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
54:45Look at this!
54:46Jeven pushes for pay, leave, and parental support across all industries.
54:54Victoria, this is you!
54:56You did this!
54:58Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between our families and their careers.
55:04Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
55:08Careful, Vincent.
55:10And what's about the best part?
55:17I...
55:23Victoria Winter.
55:28Will you marry me?
55:33Yes!
55:34A thousand times yes!
55:46I've been spending all my days just trying to find.
55:49Cute!
55:54Give me love when this is not...
55:56Ever than ever!
55:57You came. I thought you'd want to see me leave this.
56:13I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:15When word got out, you left. Clients bailed. The board freed. Members taped. I couldn't stop it.
56:30You, Steward Mace on the vote, into this storm, Holly.
56:33I know. I know. My father. The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
56:48I destroyed everything. My thoughts slashed in costs and saved us, but instead I gutted the company.
56:55I made me pretend like this.
57:00I mean, I don't know if I was in debt. I bought it. Last week.
57:06The brand. The archives. Even the debt. It's part of your van now.
57:13If you wanted, why would you do that?
57:16To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:20You and Victoria. To help you do better than I did.
57:28I'll do it differently.
57:31Goodbye, Holly.
57:33Miss Winter. I just... I want to thank you. Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave. I can keep working and...
58:01Hi, my baby. You changed everything.
58:07Congratulations. Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
58:21Ready?
58:25Always.
58:31Happy Holidays.
58:32Happy Holidays.
58:33Happy Holidays.
58:34Happy Holidays.
58:35Happy Holidays.
58:36For a moment.
58:38And now.
58:39Chauvin's new collection.
58:41Designed by Victoria Ventura and Mercy.
58:44and here's the last trend.
58:46We get the rock.
58:48Marey a spinning on Earth.
58:50You
