00:00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:00:14The system crashed mid-upload.
00:00:16Half the collection is the wrong season.
00:00:18We're on everything.
00:00:20No.
00:00:22Come on runways in 48 hours.
00:00:26If productions start with these batch designs,
00:00:28they're all dead.
00:00:30Not just fire, they're dead.
00:00:32Company Colossus, our careers are over.
00:00:35Come out here and talk to us.
00:00:37We have 8 million tied up in this collection.
00:00:40I haven't fasted your boat.
00:00:42Right now, one word from me,
00:00:44your industry toys in here.
00:00:58Enough.
00:01:02Mick!
00:01:04Mia, Japanese Indigo.
00:01:07Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.
00:01:11Pauline, handle those ultras.
00:01:18Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
00:01:22It's 28 minutes.
00:01:24The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
00:01:2627 now.
00:01:28Tick tock.
00:01:29off for the clock.
00:01:49I'm done.
00:01:50Crisis averted.
00:01:51I swear to god, you're not human.
00:01:5427 minutes!
00:01:55seven minutes. Holy shit! Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
00:02:07Vet, are you okay?
00:02:11Just practice and pick. It's nothing to...
00:02:17Oh my god, your water broke.
00:02:25Mom, we're seriously in active labor while saving the entire company.
00:02:30Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin.
00:02:35Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting
00:02:42privileges since he decided that his assistants said he was more comfortable than ours.
00:02:48That's my girl.
00:02:55Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
00:03:05We need to slash costs immediately.
00:03:07Layoffs?
00:03:13That's it without leave. Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
00:03:18Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
00:03:25In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
00:03:29No way, Miss Victoria went or saved the company since she's not even there.
00:03:41Boss, the Milan collection crisis? A burden. Pre-orders are pouring in.
00:03:46You, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
00:03:51Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director? Starting today.
00:03:55Oh, my God, is this really happening? She's offering me Victoria's job? I can finally get rid of that
00:04:05fish hanging over my head?
00:04:11But, Victoria...
00:04:12Don't worry about her. I'm that useless thing. I'm gonna just want to buy her.
00:04:15You know that collection I just rescued, Em? I hid something in the design. Your initials,
00:04:28and now little graces. Hold them right into the fabric.
00:04:37And that's your Milan runway?
00:04:40Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
00:04:43Enough for your full tuition of private school.
00:04:46Mom, you ain't have to.
00:04:48We're going to that private school. No discussion.
00:04:52Your sister and I will manage just fine.
00:04:55This job will keep us afloat.
00:04:57I love you, Mom.
00:04:58Holy shit, Holly Ashley thought I was the one who saved the company.
00:05:15After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
00:05:19Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
00:05:37Victoria Winter is terminated.
00:05:51Effective immediately.
00:05:52You can't just do that. She's in the hospital having her baby. There are laws against this.
00:06:00Vic worked while in labor.
00:06:02She's the creative backbone of Ms. Ellen Laveau.
00:06:05Maternity leave, medical insurance. These preggles are bleeding us dry.
00:06:11Everything okay here?
00:06:16Great timing. Victoria Winter, you're fired.
00:06:20Clear out your desk now.
00:06:31You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
00:06:34I saved this company three times when your father could have been here.
00:06:38Three times.
00:06:41Well, that's ancient history.
00:06:45The board wants fresh blood.
00:06:48And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
00:06:56I'm the one who...
00:06:59Mia, you...
00:07:02Feel that curve.
00:07:04That's some signature.
00:07:06That's what makes it mise en lavelle.
00:07:07How could you?
00:07:14I taught you everything you know.
00:07:23I wish things were different, Vic.
00:07:27I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
00:07:30What happens to my team?
00:07:38Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
00:07:44Things got so bad she had to get hair.
00:07:47Implants.
00:07:48Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
00:07:53These jobs are their lifelines.
00:07:55Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
00:07:58You can't just throw them away.
00:08:01Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
00:08:04No mandated, paid maternity leave, no real protection.
00:08:07But hey, that's corporate America for you.
00:08:11Or we can shift the math.
00:08:14You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
00:08:19Think of it as taking one for the team.
00:08:23Miranda's still drowning in her husband's deaths.
00:08:28And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
00:08:31They can't lose their jobs.
00:08:37Come on, babe.
00:08:38Because they don't care about them.
00:08:40Prove it.
00:08:40They can't lose their jobs.
00:08:43What is it, didn't they say?
00:08:45Oh, my God.
00:08:46His death.
00:08:47Please abandon and
00:08:50Sheriff demi.
00:08:55Please don't care.
00:08:56That was my seventh package after 15 years, that's what I'm worth to them.
00:09:26Careful, I got you.
00:09:45Vincent?
00:09:47Vincent Chevalier?
00:09:49Hi.
00:09:52High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
00:10:05So, it's true, Grey Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving
00:10:12the Misan Labo's Milan collection.
00:10:17How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
00:10:24Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
00:10:29What are you getting at, exactly?
00:10:32I'm talking about you and me.
00:10:36Pardons.
00:10:38You're genius.
00:10:40My money.
00:10:42No corporate BS.
00:10:44No one holding me back.
00:10:50I've got a baby to think about now.
00:10:53And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
00:10:59Just saying.
00:11:04Vincent Chevalier, wow!
00:11:06You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
00:11:11Is that your spy here?
00:11:16Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing.
00:11:21Triple her salary, corner office.
00:11:24Before the vultures at LB or Chanel swooping.
00:11:29Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
00:11:31Rescuing the washed-up single mom with outdated ideas?
00:11:36It's an interesting take to have, considering you're wearing Victoria's designs head-to-toe.
00:11:40I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
00:11:46The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
00:11:49If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
00:11:55Shit, shit, shit.
00:11:58What are you talking about?
00:12:00Victoria designed all of this.
00:12:02Actually, those were my designs.
00:12:13What did you just say?
00:12:15The spring collection.
00:12:17The Cartier pieces.
00:12:19I designed them.
00:12:20Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
00:12:24Oops.
00:12:25Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
00:12:28I thought you were better than this, ma'am.
00:12:32Can I explain my signature?
00:12:34On the original sketch dated six months ago.
00:12:43So what?
00:12:44Sketches get passed around all the time.
00:12:45It doesn't prove squat.
00:12:47Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
00:12:50This designer?
00:12:52And the logo?
00:12:56The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
00:12:59It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
00:13:03Mommy, explain it.
00:13:04Make me shut up.
00:13:10It's funny.
00:13:11All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's looking for.
00:13:16They all have EW and GW's so good, too.
00:13:20Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
00:13:22Her newborn is Grace Winter.
00:13:26It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
00:13:32Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
00:13:36Well, Mia, tell them.
00:13:38Tell them you designed this.
00:13:40Tell them you saved Moran.
00:13:42The logo, it's...
00:13:45It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
00:13:49You lying little bitch!
00:13:52That promotion is for saving the company.
00:13:59Look at the logo again.
00:14:00It's not EW or GW.
00:14:04It's actually two M's.
00:14:07M-M.
00:14:09For McMichael.
00:14:10My last name.
00:14:14See?
00:14:15One M flipped.
00:14:16One upright.
00:14:18It's not for Grace or Emily.
00:14:21It's mine.
00:14:23That is absolutely ridiculous.
00:14:26Oh my god, she's right.
00:14:28It does look more like two M's.
00:14:32You meant to be a little bitch.
00:14:33You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
00:14:38You learned well, Mia.
00:14:41Maybe too well.
00:14:43You'll regret this.
00:14:46I'm not going to.
00:14:48You don't have to sink to their level.
00:14:50Okay.
00:14:52I'm not be driving home, okay?
00:14:53My Ferrari's outside.
00:14:56When I got this, she shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
00:15:03Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
00:15:07Just...
00:15:08Take care of my honor of Paulie, will you?
00:15:12That's right!
00:15:13Get the hell out of my company!
00:15:15Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
00:15:24Hold on, Victoria.
00:15:28A VIP invitation for Paris Fashion Week.
00:15:31Front row.
00:15:32I think you'll find it.
00:15:34Lightning.
00:15:43Every pregnant woman fired!
00:15:45All of us.
00:15:47Just like that.
00:15:49No severance.
00:15:51No warning.
00:15:52Nothing.
00:15:53But a box and a security escort.
00:15:54Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
00:16:04For termination, people would practically pay for your sign and bonus made right in Star.
00:16:09Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
00:16:12Your designs are eerily awaited.
00:16:13You should have kept your legs closed.
00:16:17You should have kept your legs closed.
00:16:28Oh my god, Mom.
00:16:30This is insane.
00:16:32I can't believe we're actually here.
00:16:34Victoria Wintour.
00:16:35The Nuclear Vic.
00:16:37Your mom's basically a legend.
00:16:38You know that, right?
00:16:40We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
00:16:44Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
00:16:49Wait.
00:16:51Maison Léveau?
00:16:53Well, well.
00:16:54The Queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
00:16:57Brave of you to show up here.
00:16:59What's next?
00:17:00Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
00:17:04Leaving so soon?
00:17:05You haven't introduced me to your princess.
00:17:09Has Mommy Dearest filled you in on her little career update?
00:17:12About getting canned for not cutting it any more?
00:17:18Mom, that's true.
00:17:22Don't worry.
00:17:23She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
00:17:27Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour.
00:17:30Still pretending she matters.
00:17:32My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
00:17:40If Maison Léveau was putting people like you in charge of the business,
00:17:45then maybe it deserves to crash and burn.
00:17:47Well, look at that.
00:17:48It seems entitlement runs in the family.
00:17:51Say whatever you want about me,
00:17:53and leave my daughter out of it.
00:17:55That's got a stain, huh?
00:17:57Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
00:18:00But hey, good news.
00:18:03There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hard-working children.
00:18:07If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
00:18:10That's enough.
00:18:15That's enough.
00:18:17You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
00:18:20You never belonged in this world.
00:18:21Look at her.
00:18:23A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
00:18:28That dress.
00:18:30It's a cheap knockoff.
00:18:32Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
00:18:37It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
00:18:40What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:18:46Remove that dress.
00:18:49We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
00:18:53Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
00:18:56And let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
00:18:59Take your hands off her now!
00:19:05Vincent.
00:19:11You're dismissed.
00:19:21You alright?
00:19:22I'm full.
00:19:23Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
00:19:25The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
00:19:27What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
00:19:29That knockoff?
00:19:31That you're so here to trash her for?
00:19:34It's Chevenne.
00:19:36But the tour.
00:19:38Winter Collection.
00:19:40Not even released yet.
00:19:42Price tag?
00:19:44No.
00:19:45No.
00:19:46No.
00:19:47No.
00:19:48No.
00:19:50No.
00:19:51No.
00:19:53300,000.
00:19:54Wow!
00:19:56You gave her that.
00:19:57That's right.
00:19:59You did.
00:20:01I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted.
00:20:05Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
00:20:08Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy!
00:20:12Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight, he's her walking trust fund.
00:20:18Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
00:20:20It's just so predictably desperate.
00:20:23It's just so predictably desperate.
00:20:27You really don't understand real talent, do you?
00:20:31For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier.
00:20:35CEO of Jevenne.
00:20:36And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
00:20:46I have followed your career from a distance for years.
00:20:50Your brilliance, your principles, your passion.
00:20:55Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
00:20:58Mom, did you know about this?
00:21:01I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
00:21:05But in the meantime, what I will do is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
00:21:12She won't let you down, boss.
00:21:15You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier. She's nothing but a has-been.
00:21:22The show is about to start. Your seats are waiting.
00:21:33Holy shit. The industry Boldenboy and the creative powerhouse together?
00:21:38Talk about a power couple.
00:21:40They could run the entire industry.
00:21:41This isn't over, bitch.
00:21:45Wait till we see what I've prepared for you.
00:21:57Are you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
00:22:04Some talents you recognize immediately.
00:22:07Some people do.
00:22:09Some people do.
00:22:15Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
00:22:20This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
00:22:23She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
00:22:29It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.
00:22:32I slaved away on those designs, day and night.
00:22:39And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
00:22:46That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
00:22:50Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
00:22:53That's enough, Holly.
00:22:54That's enough, Holly.
00:22:57Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
00:23:01Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
00:23:06Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
00:23:10That's her real design strategy.
00:23:12Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
00:23:15And those kids she's so proud of, who knows who their real fathers are?
00:23:19How dare you!
00:23:24It's a disaster in there.
00:23:29There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
00:23:32Not now.
00:23:38The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
00:23:42The dresses are literally falling apart.
00:23:44We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
00:23:48Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Moval?
00:23:50Are you cancelling the show because of your incompetence?
00:23:53This is completely unprofessional.
00:23:55I have 10 million invested in this collection.
00:23:59This is breach of contract.
00:24:03It's actually fixable.
00:24:07You can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
00:24:10Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
00:24:13Maison Moval appears to be inputting underneath new leadership.
00:24:15Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled minutes before showtime.
00:24:19The question on everyone's mind?
00:24:21Is this the end for the once-prestigious fashion books?
00:24:23This show doesn't happen.
00:24:24You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
00:24:25We're talking buildings all.
00:24:26Billings.
00:24:27Billings.
00:24:28Billings.
00:24:29Billings.
00:24:31Billings.
00:24:33This show doesn't happen.
00:24:34You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
00:24:36We're talking buildings all.
00:24:37Billings.
00:24:39Billings.
00:24:40Billings.
00:24:41Billings.
00:24:42Billings.
00:24:43Steve.
00:24:45Billings.
00:24:49Billings.
00:25:03Billings.
00:25:05Now.
00:25:07How? The fabric supplier must have sent us effective materials!
00:25:12I can't magically make new dresses in an hour!
00:25:16You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
00:25:19If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket!
00:25:23That's billions of dollars!
00:25:26Then you better figure something out!
00:25:28Because if you don't, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again!
00:25:37Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
00:25:49Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
00:25:53Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
00:25:57And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
00:26:01We're gathering evidence as we speak.
00:26:04What?
00:26:15Excuse me.
00:26:17Excuse me.
00:26:19It's okay, Pop. Put me around.
00:26:27What do you want, Mia?
00:26:29I don't really need your help.
00:26:34Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
00:26:40Look, I know you're furious. I would be too.
00:26:44But think about Miranda and Philippe for a second.
00:26:47What about them?
00:26:48Their jobs are on the line with this show.
00:26:50If we tank, they're done. Holly will fire them without a second thought.
00:26:56Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just come put this out with you.
00:27:02Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
00:27:05Yes, absolutely. And they're counting on this being a hit.
00:27:09Please, like, not for me. For them. Thank you.
00:27:13I would've expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.
00:27:19What exactly happened to them, Mia?
00:27:25They... they couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.
00:27:30Is that right?
00:27:31Victoria... I know I don't deserve your help.
00:27:37They do.
00:27:39Fine.
00:27:42I'll help you.
00:27:43But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
00:27:46Not for you.
00:27:47Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter. A nuclear beck.
00:28:03I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric. Now.
00:28:06I need royal fuchsia for this stitching. Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
00:28:18Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
00:28:23Would this work?
00:28:30Vincent...
00:28:32How did you...
00:28:33I figured you might need some supplies, so...
00:28:37I had my assistant bring over Joven as an emergency kit.
00:28:42This is perfect, but...
00:28:45Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors. Why would you help them?
00:28:50I'm not helping them.
00:28:53I'm helping you.
00:28:55I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
00:28:59I have a design I've been saving.
00:29:00Something special I've never shown anyone.
00:29:04It's yours now.
00:29:06I don't want your design, Victoria.
00:29:10Then what do you want?
00:29:13You.
00:29:15What?
00:29:20Your talent.
00:29:22Your vision.
00:29:24Come and work.
00:29:25I should've had.
00:29:27I'm in.
00:29:29I'll work for you.
00:29:31Just like that?
00:29:32Just like that.
00:29:33Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
00:29:36I'm going to get myself a little.
00:29:37I hate it when I'm gone.
00:29:38I wish I was cool.
00:29:39Like the new girl at school.
00:29:40I regret it.
00:29:41So I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get out.
00:29:42I won't be back.
00:29:43Don't ever change.
00:29:44I'm gonna be proud of my name.
00:29:45She's doing it in minutes.
00:29:46What would've taken us hours?
00:29:47Whoa.
00:29:48No wonder they call it the nuclear pack.
00:29:49It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster.
00:29:51I don't know.
00:29:52I wish I was cool.
00:29:53I wish I was cool.
00:29:54I wish I was cool.
00:29:55Like the new girl at school.
00:29:56I regret it.
00:29:57So I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get out.
00:29:59I'm gonna be proud of my name.
00:30:04She's doing it in minutes.
00:30:06What would've taken us hours?
00:30:08Whoa.
00:30:09No wonder they call it the nuclear pack.
00:30:12It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
00:30:16The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
00:30:24Five minutes till showtime.
00:30:26You made it.
00:30:29Well, do we pull the plug or not?
00:30:42We're good.
00:30:43Everything's back on track.
00:30:45See?
00:30:46I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
00:30:49You've got twice your talent.
00:30:51Yeah, right.
00:30:54This is exactly why I promoted you.
00:30:57Your business does not make them.
00:31:06To Victoria.
00:31:08The real hero of the night.
00:31:10Well, you're insane.
00:31:23I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
00:31:27Couldn't have done it without you.
00:31:29You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
00:31:36Well, well, still hanging around.
00:31:43I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
00:31:47Fraud.
00:31:48I'm sorry.
00:31:49Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
00:31:52What are you talking about?
00:31:54Just ask the models.
00:31:56Any of them.
00:31:57Oh, and Mia, don't forget about our agreement.
00:32:02About Miranda and Pauline.
00:32:04I think I will.
00:32:05Two new beginnings at Chauvin?
00:32:07Speaking of new beginnings, Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
00:32:25I want to help with your education.
00:32:30What?
00:32:31Vincent, that's too much.
00:32:33We barely know each other.
00:32:35Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
00:32:40I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress, the one you made from scratch.
00:32:50I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
00:32:57You remember that?
00:32:59I remember everything.
00:33:01I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
00:33:10Why didn't you ever reach out?
00:33:13You were married.
00:33:14And then you worked.
00:33:15And then you were building your career.
00:33:16The timing was never right.
00:33:17Until now.
00:33:18I have been waiting for 20 years to the breath.
00:33:19I have been waiting for 20 years to the breath.
00:33:20I have been waiting for 20 years to the breath.
00:33:43I should probably get this.
00:34:04Mia?
00:34:08God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
00:34:11That Milan disaster you turned around, absolute magic.
00:34:14And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
00:34:18Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
00:34:23Sean Gosling?
00:34:26The Sean Gosling?
00:34:28The very one, three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive, and if we play our cards
00:34:34right, the next face remains on the both hands where they're taking pitches now.
00:34:40If he picks yours, this changes everything.
00:34:43For you, for the brand, where it is, Joven's in the running too.
00:34:49Lanthus, Vincent, and his poor Victoria are done.
00:34:57Seal the deal, I'll bump your pay by 20%.
00:35:00I've got this, Holly.
00:35:02You won't regret it.
00:35:04God, what am I gonna do?
00:35:12I can't design menswear.
00:35:14I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
00:35:17Miranda and Felina are gone too.
00:35:20I'm completely on my own.
00:35:22If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria, maybe I can
00:35:31squeeze one more vehicle over it.
00:35:33Thanks for meeting me, I know things are complicated between us.
00:35:58You mentioned Miranda and Pauline, cut to the chase.
00:36:06We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks, Miranda and Pauline are also in the-
00:36:09Miranda's excellent menswear, she can handle this without me.
00:36:12Please, wait, there's more to it.
00:36:14After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
00:36:18Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
00:36:21I've been fighting for them, but-
00:36:23Are you serious?
00:36:24Pauline's due any day now.
00:36:26Trust me, I know.
00:36:28This project is our only shot.
00:36:30If we land it, I can claim it's quality to keep them both.
00:36:33Have you worked with Sean before?
00:36:35No, but I've heard you have.
00:36:38Ages ago, I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
00:36:42Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison Hall.
00:36:47Really?
00:36:48What concept?
00:36:49Well...
00:36:54Perfect, he's handing everything over without even realizing.
00:37:11I'll use our design to save my ass and land this project.
00:37:15Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
00:37:18I do.
00:37:19Actually, I...
00:37:20I took him with me when I left Maison Laveau.
00:37:21Wait.
00:37:22Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
00:37:23How exactly is she part of this project?
00:37:24Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
00:37:37Is the company covering her health insurance?
00:37:38Of course, Vic.
00:37:39Colleen and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
00:37:40You need to hang out.
00:37:41Take all the time you need.
00:37:42Mia.
00:37:43Mia.
00:37:44Don't make me regret trusting me.
00:37:45Again.
00:37:46I can't.
00:37:47I can't.
00:37:48I can't.
00:37:49I can't.
00:37:50I can't.
00:37:51I can't.
00:37:52I can't.
00:37:53I can't.
00:37:54I can't.
00:37:55I can't.
00:37:56I can't.
00:37:57I can't.
00:37:58I can't.
00:37:59I can't.
00:38:00I can't.
00:38:01I can't.
00:38:02I can't.
00:38:03I can't.
00:38:04Google's eyes are on the outer tape.
00:38:11Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
00:38:20Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
00:38:23The Shawn Gosselin one with the black stitching repels.
00:38:26That's the one.
00:38:28So on. Can you check my home office? It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
00:38:35Got it. Grace is napping. The perfect timing.
00:38:38Thanks, sweetie. I just need to double check something about them.
00:38:45Shoulder.
00:38:46Instruction.
00:38:48Mom, are you okay?
00:38:54Miranda?
00:38:55What?
00:39:01Mom! Mom! What's going on?
00:39:04Emilia, I'll call you right back.
00:39:08Miranda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
00:39:12Girls don't pay themselves.
00:39:14You can make my husband all tired of your paycheck and now there's a newborn at home.
00:39:20Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gaussian project.
00:39:25What?
00:39:27Is that a story she's spinning?
00:39:30After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
00:39:35No severance, no copper and nothing. Just done.
00:39:40That's completely illegal.
00:39:42Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
00:39:48All at once. What are the odds, right?
00:39:50And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours diner.
00:39:56Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
00:40:05And Mia knew about all this.
00:40:07Mia. Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
00:40:11Didn't even blink.
00:40:14Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
00:40:18She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
00:40:22Telling me her draw depended on me helping her.
00:40:25What?
00:40:27That bitch!
00:40:30This ends now.
00:40:31Damn it!
00:40:43My name is Michael.
00:40:45He's just arrived from Milan.
00:40:47We get approval by name for that.
00:40:49Didn't you see I'm working on something important?
00:40:51What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
00:41:05Victoria would never translate.
00:41:08I heard that.
00:41:10You think Victoria is so perfect?
00:41:13Then where is she now?
00:41:15Gone.
00:41:16Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
00:41:19Well at least you've got a new designer.
00:41:27What the hell is going on here?
00:41:29Just a creative disagreement. Everything's under control.
00:41:34The gossip bitch, tell me you have something presentable.
00:41:40Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
00:41:42Show me.
00:41:44It's all quite ready.
00:41:45Now.
00:41:49This is garbage.
00:41:53Absolute garbage!
00:41:55I just need a little more time.
00:41:57We don't have more time.
00:41:58This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
00:42:01The truth then gets this deal instead of us.
00:42:06What's that?
00:42:07What's that?
00:42:13It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
00:42:18I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
00:42:22Get me when I design my tomorrow morning.
00:42:24Or pack up your desk by lunch.
00:42:25I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
00:42:42I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
00:42:59Right on cue.
00:43:00I need that sketch ASAP.
00:43:05Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
00:43:09The absolute nerve of this woman.
00:43:14She'll get her sketch.
00:43:16And that's when we spin the trap.
00:43:17You're early.
00:43:31Bec.
00:43:33I really need that sketch.
00:43:34I said I'd help.
00:43:44Not hand over my design.
00:43:46Holly's all over me about this.
00:43:49If I don't have something tonight.
00:43:51Miranda and Pauline are toast.
00:43:55Still lying Mia.
00:43:57You never learn.
00:43:58Guess it's payback time.
00:44:00So.
00:44:01Do you want my help or not?
00:44:02I can walk you through it.
00:44:03Your design could be just as good.
00:44:06She's such a snake.
00:44:10My stomach is killing me.
00:44:12Can you run to the funnel and see and get something please?
00:44:15Fine.
00:44:17Don't touch anything.
00:44:32Sorry then.
00:44:33Survival of the fittings.
00:44:46Sorry then.

00:47:44Final tweaks.
00:47:45The pitch goes out tomorrow.
00:47:51You've got Grace to sleep.
00:47:53Yeah.
00:47:58And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
00:48:03Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
00:48:11Remember, smile.
00:48:13We're about to make the sleep.
00:48:15Maison Laveau sets the bar.
00:48:20We don't follow trends.
00:48:22We create them.
00:48:28Satin black lapels.
00:48:31Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.
00:48:33A blend of tradition and boldness.
00:48:37I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
00:48:41What is that bitch doing here?
00:48:53Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
00:48:58My company is thriving because of your generosity.
00:49:03I didn't expect to see you here.
00:49:05I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
00:49:12I multitask.
00:49:13Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
00:49:17You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in waters.
00:49:23The office is so empty, it echoes.
00:49:26And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
00:49:30Proud of new women talk, you know.
00:49:33Three excellent employees and a viable CEO.
00:49:36What's next?
00:49:36The sale?
00:49:39Laugh all you want, Holly.
00:49:41We're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
00:49:44And what real loyalty looks like.
00:49:46Sean, glad you could make it.
00:50:01We have something very special to show you.
00:50:06Vic.
00:50:10I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
00:50:14Congratulations.
00:50:15Thank you, Sean.
00:50:17It's good to see you.
00:50:19Let's begin the pitches.
00:50:22You ready to lose?
00:50:24You're out of your league.
00:50:26You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
00:50:36First up, me and McMichael, Maison Laveau.
00:50:56Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:50:59Beautiful work.
00:51:11Both themes.
00:51:16We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
00:51:18After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...
00:51:29Maison Laveau.
00:51:31Oh my God.
00:51:34Of course.
00:51:36This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
00:51:39What the hell did you people put me in?
00:51:51Are you trying to kill me?
00:51:52Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
00:51:56Who designed this tuxedo?
00:51:57Did you even read the brief?
00:52:02I mean, did you?
00:52:04You must have read the brief.
00:52:05It's not complicated.
00:52:06It says no synthetic blend.
00:52:09I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
00:52:12Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
00:52:15A mistake?
00:52:16I could have ended up in the emergency room.
00:52:19Victoria, please, tell these amateurs
00:52:23why you pulled your last design.
00:52:31I pulled my design
00:52:33because the only fabric left was synthetic.
00:52:36I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
00:52:39And that's why Victoria's the best.
00:52:41She actually pays attention.
00:52:43After reviewing all the entries,
00:52:45the committee has reached a decision.
00:52:48The commission goes to
00:52:49Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:52:53Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
00:52:57Mia's design was the front runner all along.
00:53:00That's why they picked her first.
00:53:05Maybe everyone should see this.
00:53:12Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
00:53:16That's a new low.
00:53:22Even for you.
00:53:27Maison Laveau
00:53:28will be hearing from my liars.
00:53:31So you know,
00:53:32I will be supporting
00:53:34Victoria's case
00:53:35for design that.
00:53:38Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
00:53:40We're suspending
00:53:42all collaborations.
00:53:53Don't even think about
00:53:55Toronto land anywhere else.
00:53:57You're blacklisted.
00:54:03Victoria, you...
00:54:04Victoria, please.
00:54:15I'll do anything.
00:54:17Please, just help me save the company,
00:54:19the brand you built for 15 years.
00:54:22You made your choices, Holly.
00:54:24Now you live with them.
00:54:27Yeah.
00:54:28Wow, you went too far.

00:54:41Social media is already calling it
00:54:43the Winter Revolution.
00:54:52To the best comeback
00:54:54in fashion history
00:54:55and to the women
00:54:56who made it happen.
00:54:58and to the maternity leave
00:55:00that actually means something.

00:55:17Happy birthday, Victoria.
00:55:22Happy birthday to you!
00:55:28Guys, look!
00:55:32Maison Laveau on the brink.
00:55:35Scandal pushes fashion giant
00:55:36towards bankruptcy.
00:55:38Ouch!
00:55:39I guess karma has a sense of humor.
00:55:42It's strange, isn't it?
00:55:48I gave them everything.
00:55:50Late nights,
00:55:51weekends,
00:55:52all the best years
00:55:54and they tossed us aside
00:55:55like we were nothing.
00:55:57Now it's all crashing down.
00:55:59I thought I feel vindicated.
00:56:02Honestly,
00:56:02it's a weird mix.
00:56:05Relief, sure,
00:56:06but
00:56:06also a little bit of grief.
00:56:09Look,
00:56:10who said that our best years
00:56:11are behind us?
00:56:12Look at this!

00:56:17paid leave

00:56:19all industries.
00:56:21Victoria,
00:56:22this is you!
00:56:23You did this!
00:56:26Here's to a future
00:56:27where women
00:56:28don't have to choose
00:56:29between their families
00:56:30and their careers.
00:56:31Not just for us,
00:56:33but for every woman
00:56:34who comes after.
00:56:36Careful, Vincent.
00:56:38You must forgot
00:56:38the best part.
