00:00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:00:14The system crashed mid-upload.
00:00:16Half the collection was the wrong season.
00:00:18We're on everything.
00:00:20No.
00:00:22We're on runways in 48 hours.
00:00:26If production starts with these batch designs, we're all dead.
00:00:30Not just fire, we're dead.
00:00:32Company collapses, our careers are over.
00:00:35Come out here and talk to us.
00:00:37We have 8 million tied up in this corruption.
00:00:40I have a bastard.
00:00:42Right now, one word for me, your industry poison.
00:00:52Enough.
00:01:01Vic!
00:01:03Mia, Japanese indigo.
00:01:07Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.
00:01:11Pauline, handle those ultras.
00:01:15Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
00:01:21It's 28 minutes?
00:01:23The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
00:01:2627 now.
00:01:28Tick tock.
00:01:49I'm done.
00:01:50Crisis averted.
00:01:51I swear to god, you're not human.
00:01:5427 minutes.
00:01:56Holy shit.
00:01:57Pre-orders are flooding in.
00:01:59This will shatter every record.
00:02:07Vic?
00:02:08Are you okay?
00:02:09Just...frax and hicks, nothing to...
00:02:13Oh my god, your water broke.
00:02:14Mom, you're seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
00:02:31Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
00:02:34No.
00:02:35Dad called.
00:02:36He wanted to know if he should come, but...
00:02:40I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
00:02:47That's my girl.
00:02:48Well, the company's yours now, Holly.
00:02:49But there's a condition.
00:02:50We need to slash costs immediately.
00:02:54Layoffs?
00:02:55Layoffs?
00:02:56That's it without leave.
00:02:57Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
00:03:01Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
00:03:02In fact, they deserve a promotion.
00:03:03They deserve a promotion.
00:03:04Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:03:05No way this Victoria Wintors is going to be a disaster.
00:03:06No way this Victoria Wintors is going to be a disaster.
00:03:07We need to slash costs immediately.
00:03:08Layoffs?
00:03:09That's it without leave.
00:03:10Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
00:03:15Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
00:03:26In fact, they deserve a promotion.
00:03:30No way this Victoria Wintors saved the company since she's not even there.
00:03:37Boss, the Milan collection crisis?
00:03:43Averted.
00:03:44Pre-orders are pouring in.
00:03:46You, you saved the entire collection?
00:03:48Impressive.
00:03:49Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director?
00:03:54Starting today.
00:03:55Oh, my God, is this really happening?
00:03:59She's offering me Victoria's job?
00:04:02I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
00:04:06But, Victoria...
00:04:08Don't worry about her.
00:04:09I'm not useless.
00:04:10I'm gonna just have fire.
00:04:12You know that collection I just rescued, Ab?
00:04:14I hid something in the design.
00:04:15Your initials and now little graces.
00:04:17Hold them right into the fabric.
00:04:19Can't come back to your Milan runway?
00:04:20Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
00:04:22Enough for your full tuition at private school.
00:04:23I hid something in the design. Your initials and now little graces. Hold them right into the fabric.
00:04:37And that's going to give him a long runway?
00:04:40Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial. Enough for your full tuition of private school.
00:04:46Mom, you don't have to.
00:04:48We're going to that private school. No discussion. Your sister and I will manage just fine.
00:04:55This job will keep us afloat. I love you, Mom.
00:05:09Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
00:05:14After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
00:05:21Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
00:05:28What the hell?
00:05:30Listen up, everyone. Victoria Winter is terminated.
00:05:34Effective immediately.
00:05:35You can't just do that. She's in the hospital having her baby. They're a loss against this.
00:05:41Vic worked while in labor. She's the creative backbone of Maisel Nouveau.
00:05:44Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggos are bleeding us dry.
00:05:48What the hell?
00:05:49What the hell?
00:05:50Listen up, everyone.
00:05:51Victoria Winter is terminated.
00:05:52Effective immediately.
00:05:53You can't just do that. She's in the hospital having her baby. They're a loss against this.
00:05:58Vic worked while in labor. She's the creative backbone of Maisel Nouveau.
00:06:04Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggos are bleeding us dry.
00:06:11Everything okay here?
00:06:16Great timing. Victoria Winter, you're fired.
00:06:21Clear out your desk now.
00:06:23You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
00:06:34I saved this company three times when your father could have been payroll.
00:06:38Three times.
00:06:42Well, that's ancient history.
00:06:45The board wants fresh blood.
00:06:47And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
00:06:51What?
00:06:56I'm the one who...
00:06:59Mia, you...
00:07:03Feel that curve.
00:07:04That's her signature.
00:07:06That's what makes it Maisel Nouveau.
00:07:13How could you?
00:07:14I taught you everything you know.
00:07:21I wish things were different, Vic.
00:07:27I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
00:07:36What happens to my team?
00:07:38Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
00:07:43Things got so bad she had to get hair.
00:07:46Implants.
00:07:48Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the loo.
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.
00:08:00Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
00:08:04No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but 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.
00:08:18Think of it as taking one for the team.
00:08:24Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
00:08:28And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
00:08:31They can't lose their jobs.
00:08:37Come on, babe.
00:08:38Cause they don't care about them.
00:08:40Prove it.
00:08:48I love it.
00:08:49I love it.
00:08:50Five quid.
00:09:17That's my seventh package after 15 years, that's what I'm worth to them.
00:09:36Careful. I got you.
00:09:39Vincent? Vincent Chevalier.
00:09:48Hi. High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
00:09:55So, it's true.
00:10:08Grey Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Nisan Laveau's Milan collection.
00:10:14How 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.
00:10:36Carlos, your genius, my 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.
00:11:00Vincent Chevalier, wow!
00:11:06You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
00:11:11Got your spy here?
00:11:13Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria here.
00:11:19Soft landing.
00:11:21Triple her salary, corner office.
00:11:24You know, before the vultures at LB or Chanel swoop in.
00:11:27Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
00:11:31Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas?
00:11:35It's an interesting take to have, considering you 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.
00:11:50If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
00:11:55Strip.
00:11:57Shit, shit, shit.
00:11:59What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this?
00:12:08Actually, those were my designs.
00:12:14What did you just say?
00:12:15The spring collection.
00:12:16The Cartier pieces.
00:12:18I 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.
00:12:30That explained my signature on 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?
00:12:50The dress designer?
00:12:52And the logo?
00:12:56The EW, woven in.
00:12:58Victoria's signature mark.
00:13:00It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
00:13:03Mommy, explain it and make me shut up.
00:13:10It's funny.
00:13:11All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's using.
00:13:16They all have EW and GW so they too.
00:13:20Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
00:13:23Her newborn is Grace Winter.
00:13:27It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Nia.
00:13:32Is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
00:13:36Well, Nia, tell them.
00:13:38Tell them you designed this.
00:13:39Tell them you saved Milan.
00:13:42The logo, it's...
00:13:45It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
00:13:49You lying little bitch!
00:13:52Dr. Ocean is saving the company.
00:13:59Look at the logo again.
00:14:01It's not EW or GW.
00:14:03It's actually two M's.
00:14:07M-M for McMichael, my last name.
00:14:13See?
00:14:15One M flipped.
00:14:16One upright.
00:14:18It's not for Grace or Emily.
00:14:21It's mine.
00:14:22It's mine.
00:14:23That is absolutely ridiculous.
00:14:26Oh my god, she's right.
00:14:27It does look more like two M's.
00:14:32Human, they feel like me.
00:14:33She really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
00:14:37You learned well, Mia.
00:14:40Maybe too long.
00:14:42You'll regret this.
00:14:44You don't have to sink to that level.
00:14:46Okay.
00:14:48And I'll be driving home, okay?
00:14:50Bye for hours outside.
00:14:51When I got this, you shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
00:14:55Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
00:14:58Just take care of your matter of Pauline, will you?
00:15:01That's right, get the hell out of my company.
00:15:03Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
00:15:05Hold on, Victoria.
00:15:06A VIP invitation.
00:15:07Paris Fashion Week.
00:15:08Primero.
00:15:09I think you'll find it.
00:15:10Lightning.
00:15:11Lightning.
00:15:12What?
00:15:13What?
00:15:14What?
00:15:15What?
00:15:16What?
00:15:17What?
00:15:18What?
00:15:19What?
00:15:20What?
00:15:21What?
00:15:22What?
00:15:23What?
00:15:24What?
00:15:25What?
00:15:26What?
00:15:27What?
00:15:28What?
00:15:29What?
00:15:30What?
00:15:31What?
00:15:32What?
00:15:33What?
00:15:34What?
00:15:43Every pregnant woman fired.
00:15:45All of us.
00:15:47Just like that.
00:15:49No severance, no warning, nothing.
00:15:52But a box and a security escort.
00:15:54It's a security escort!
00:16:00Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities!
00:16:04For a termination, people would practically pay for your sign and bonus made right in Star.
00:16:09Now, about Paris fashion. Your designs are eerily awaited.
00:16:17You should have kept your legs closed.
00:16:24Oh my god, mom. This is insane. I can't believe we're actually here.
00:16:33Victoria Wintour, the nuclear vehicle. Your mom's basically a legend. You know that, right?
00:16:40We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Lévois. Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
00:16:49Wait, Maison Lévois?
00:16:52Well, well, the queen without her crown graces us with her presence. Brave of you to show up here.
00:16:59What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
00:17:04Leaving so soon. You haven't introduced me to your princess.
00:17:09Does mommy dearest build you in a good little career update?
00:17:12About getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
00:17:17Mom, is that true?
00:17:19Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
00:17:26Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour. Still pretending she matters.
00:17:31My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
00:17:38If Maison Lévois was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
00:17:47That'll look at that. It seems entitlement runs into the family.
00:17:50Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
00:17:53That's got a sting, huh? Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid and worships you like some kind of hero.
00:18:01Hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
00:18:06If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
00:18:11That's enough.
00:18:16That's enough.
00:18:18You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.
00:18:22Look at her. A jobless, single mom, still pretending she can afford couture.
00:18:29That dress...
00:18:31It's a cheap knockoff.
00:18:34Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
00:18:38It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
00:18:44What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:18:47Remove that dress.
00:18:48We 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.
00:19:00Take your hands off her now.
00:19:05Vincent.
00:19:11You're dismissed.
00:19:12You alright?
00:19:26You alright?
00:19:28Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
00:19:31The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
00:19:34What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
00:19:35That knockoff?
00:19:36That you so eager to trash her for?
00:19:42It's Chauvin.
00:19:45Look at the tour.
00:19:47Winter collection.
00:19:49Not even released yet.
00:19:51Price tag?
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 you wanted me.
00:20:05Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
00:20:08Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy.
00:20:11Mr. Billionaire is not a white knight.
00:20:14He's her walking trust fund.
00:20:18Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
00:20:21It's just so predictably desperate.
00:20:23That's great.
00:20:27You really don't understand real talent.
00:20:30Do you?
00:20:32For those of you who don't know me.
00:20:34I'm Vincent Chevalier.
00:20:37CEO of Gevent.
00:20:40Yes.
00:20:42I 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.
00:20:52Your principles.
00:20:54Your passion.
00:20:56Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
00:21:00Mom, did you know about this?
00:21:02I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
00:21:06But in the meantime, what I will do
00:21:09is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
00:21:14She won't let you down, boss.
00:21:15You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
00:21:21She's nothing but a has-been.
00:21:24The show is about to start.
00:21:26Your seats are waiting.
00:21:33Holy shit.
00:21:35The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
00:21:38Talk about a power couple.
00:21:40They could run the entire industry.
00:21:41The industry.
00:21:43This isn't over, bitch.
00:21:45Wait till we see what I've prepared for you.
00:21:47The industry.
00:21:57Did you seriously get in love with my mom since high school?
00:22:04Some talents you recognize immediately.
00:22:09Some people do.
00:22:10The industry.
00:22:15Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show,
00:22:18I 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.
00:22:30She took my work and passed it off as her own.
00:22:33I 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?
00:22:48Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
00:22:53That's enough, Holly.
00:22:55Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
00:23:00Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
00:23:05Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
00:23:09That's her real design strategy.
00:23:11Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
00:23:14And those kids she's so proud of, who knows who their real fathers are?
00:23:20How dare you?
00:23:26It's a disaster in there.
00:23:29There's something wrong with the collection.
00:23:31It's the fabric.
00:23:33Not now.
00:23:34The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
00:23:42The dresses are literally falling apart.
00:23:45We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
00:23:48Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Moval?
00:23:50Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
00:23:53This is completely unprofessional.
00:23:56I have 10 million invested in this collection.
00:23:59This is breach of contract.
00:24:00It's actually fixable.
00:24:05Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping you backstabbing vultures.
00:24:11Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
00:24:16Maison Moval appears to be inputting underneath new leadership.
00:24:19Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
00:24:23A question on everyone's mind?
00:24:25Is this the end for the once prestigious fashion books?
00:24:28This show doesn't happen.
00:24:30You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
00:24:32We're talking billions, homie.
00:24:34Buildings.
00:24:36Buildings.
00:24:38Buildings.
00:24:40Buildings.
00:24:42Buildings.
00:24:44Buildings.
00:24:46Buildings.
00:24:48Buildings.
00:24:51Buildings.
00:24:53Buildings.
00:24:55Buildings.
00:24:56Buildings.

00:25:01Buildings.
00:25:02Buildings.
00:25:03Buildings.
00:25:04Buildings.
00:25:05Buildings.
00:25:06Now.
00:25:08How?
00:25:09The fabric supplier must have sent us defective 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.
00:25:22That's billions of dollars.
00:25:23Then you better figure something out.
00:25:24Because if you don't, I'm running forward.
00:25:25I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
00:25:29If you don't, I'm running forward.
00:25:31I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
00:25:44Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
00:25:50Is 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.
00:26:02We're gathering evidence as we speak.
00:26:15Excuse me.
00:26:17Excuse me.
00:26:19It's not K-pop.
00:26:20Help me run.
00:26:28What do you want, Mia?
00:26:33Vic, I really need your help.
00:26:36Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
00:26:40Look, I know you're furious.
00:26:43Yes, I would be too.
00:26:45But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
00:26:48What about them?
00:26:50Their jobs are on the line with this show.
00:26:52If we tank, they're done.
00:26:54Holly will fire them without a second thought.
00:26:57Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out with your thing.
00:27:03Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
00:27:05Yes, absolutely.
00:27:06And they're counting on this being a hit.
00:27:09Please, Vic, not for me.
00:27:12For them.
00:27:14I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make or break show.
00:27:19What exactly happened to them, Mia?
00:27:21They, they couldn't make it.
00:27:27Holly cut the travel legend.
00:27:30Is that right?
00:27:32Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
00:27:39Fine.
00:27:42I'll help you.
00:27:44But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
00:27:46Not for you.
00:27:51Oh my god.
00:27:59It's Victoria Winter.
00:28:01A nuclear beck.
00:28:03I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric.
00:28:06Now.
00:28:12I need royal fuchsia for the stitching.
00:28:15Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
00:28:18Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
00:28:22Would this work?
00:28:31Vincent, how did you...
00:28:33I figured you might need some supplies, so...
00:28:37I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
00:28:39This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors. Why would you help them?
00:28:49I'm not helping them.
00:28:52I'm helping you.
00:28:53I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return. I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone. It's yours now.
00:29:05I don't want your design, Victoria.
00:29:07I don't want your design, Victoria.
00:29:10Then what do you want?
00:29:13You.
00:29:16What?
00:29:17You're a talent. You're a vision. Come and work, Joven.
00:29:26I'm in.
00:29:28I'll work for you.
00:29:30Just like that?
00:29:31Just like that.
00:29:32Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
00:29:36I think that's all the известно about.
00:29:39I hate it, when I call it.
00:29:43I wish I was cool.
00:29:45Like the new guy at school.
00:29:49I regret it.
00:29:50So, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get ready.
00:29:55I won't keep that easy.
00:29:58Don't ever change.
00:30:00I'm gonna be proud of my name."
00:30:02She's doing it in minutes.
00:30:06What would have taken us hours?
00:30:09Whoa.
00:30:10No wonder they call her the nuclear pick.
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.
00:30:25Five minutes to show time.
00:30:26We made it.
00:30:32Well, do we pull the plug or not?
00:30:43We're good.
00:30:44Everything's back on track.
00:30:46See?
00:30:47I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
00:30:50You've got twice your talent.
00:30:52Yeah, right.
00:30:55This is exactly why I promoted you.
00:30:57Your fix this is not Nathan.
00:31:02To Victoria.
00:31:09The real hero of the night.
00:31:21Mom, you're insane.
00:31:23I can't believe you actually picked 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.
00:31:40Well, well, still hanging around.
00:31:43I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
00:31:47Fraud.
00:31:48Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
00:31:53What are you talking about?
00:31:55Just ask the models.
00:31:57Any of them.
00:31:59Oh, and Mia.
00:32:01Don't forget about our agreement.
00:32:03About Miranda and Pauline.
00:32:04I think they're both.
00:32:06Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
00:32:20Speaking of new beginnings, Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
00:32:25I want to help with her education.
00:32:31What?
00:32:32Vincent, that's too much.
00:32:34We barely know each other.
00:32:36Victoria, 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.
00:32:51I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
00:32:58You remember that?
00:33:00I remember everything.
00:33:01I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
00:33:11Why didn't you ever reach out?
00:33:13We were married.
00:33:16And then you were building your career.
00:33:21The timing was never right.
00:33:25Until now.
00:33:31I have been working at him 20 years to the ground.
00:33:52I should probably get this.
00:34:01God, I'm so right about firing Victoria.
00:34:11That Milan disaster you turned around?
00:34:13Absolute magic.
00:34:15And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
00:34:19Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars' red carpet.
00:34:25Sean Gosling?
00:34:27The Sean Gosling?
00:34:28The very one, three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive.
00:34:33And if we play our cards right, the next place remains on the both ends where they're taking pitches now.
00:34:40If he picks yours, this changes everything.
00:34:43For you, for the brand.
00:34:46Where it is, is your Ben's in the running too.
00:34:49Lanthus, Vincent, and poor Victoria are done.
00:34:52Seal the deal?
00:34:57I'll bump your pay by 20%.
00:34:59I've got this, Holly.
00:35:02You won't regret it.
00:35:10God, what am I gonna do?
00:35:11I 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.
00:35:19I'm completely on my own.
00:35:22If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
00:35:29maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over it.
00:35:33Thanks for meeting me.
00:35:56I know things are complicated between us.
00:35:58You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
00:36:01Cut to the chase.
00:36:02We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux.
00:36:08Miranda and Pauline are also on the...
00:36:09Miranda's excellent at menswear.
00:36:11She can handle this without me.
00:36:12Please, wait.
00:36:13There'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.
00:36:23Are you serious?
00:36:24Holly's due any day now.
00:36:27Trust me, I know.
00:36:28This project is our only shot.
00:36:30If we land it, I can convince Holly 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.
00:36:43Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept right before I left Maison Hall.
00:36:47Really?
00:36:48What constant?
00:36:53Well...
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?
00:37:20I do.
00:37:21Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
00:37:26Wait.
00:37:28Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
00:37:30How exactly is she part of this project?
00:37:32Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
00:37:39Is the company covering her health insurance?
00:37:42Of course, Vic.
00:37:45Colleen and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
00:37:50You need to know, God.
00:37:52Take all the time you need.
00:37:54Mia, don't make me regret trusting me.
00:37:59Again.
00:37:59Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
00:38:20Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
00:38:24The Sean Gosselin one with the black section lapels?
00:38:27That's the one.
00:38:28Can you check my home office?
00:38:30It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
00:38:35Got it.
00:38:36Grace is napping.
00:38:37The perfect timing.
00:38:38Thanks, sweetie.
00:38:39I just need to go and check something about that.
00:38:45Shoulder.
00:38:46Instruction.
00:38:48Mom, are you okay?
00:38:54Miranda?
00:38:56Vic?
00:38:57Mom, Mom, what's going on?
00:39:04Emily, I'll call you right back.
00:39:08Brenda, what happened?
00:39:10Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
00:39:12Those don't pay themselves.
00:39:15You made my husband, old child, with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
00:39:20Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
00:39:25What?
00:39:25What?
00:39:26Is that a story she's spinning?
00:39:28Tina?
00:39:29Tina?
00:39:29Tina?
00:39:29Tina?
00:39:30After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
00:39:35No surveillance, no copper, and nothing.
00:39:37Just gone.
00:39:39Tina?
00:39:40That's completely illegal.
00:39:41The company lawyer said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
00:39:47Only at once.
00:39:49What are the odds, right?
00:39:50And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours down here.
00:39:56Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
00:39:59And Mia knew about all this.
00:40:06Mia, 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 job depended on me helping her.
00:40:25What?
00:40:27That bitch.
00:40:28This ends now.
00:40:38Damn it.
00:40:43Miss Michael, let's just arrive from Milan.
00:40:47We need approval by name.
00:40:49Didn't you see I'm working on something important?
00:40:58What are you all looking at?
00:41:02Get back to work.
00:41:04Victoria would never turn this over.
00:41:06I heard that.
00:41:09You think Victoria is so perfect?
00:41:12Then where is she now?
00:41:14Gone.
00:41:15Now I'm in charge.
00:41:16And if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
00:41:20Well, at least you've got a key designer.
00:41:27What the hell is going on here?
00:41:29I'm just a creative disagreement.
00:41:32Everything's under control.
00:41:33You're gauzy bitch.
00:41:34Tell me you have something presentable.
00:41:39Of course.
00:41:40I'm just finalizing some details.
00:41:42Show me.
00:41:44It's not quite ready.
00:41:45This is garbage.
00:41:54Absolute garbage.
00:41:56I just need a little more time.
00:41:57We don't have more time.
00:41:59This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
00:42:01If she then gets this deal instead of us.
00:42:04What'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 you design me till morning morning.
00:42:24Or pack up your desk by lunch.
00:42:26I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
00:42:53Right on cue.
00:43:03Meet that sketch ASAP.
00:43:06Miranda 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 where we spin the trap.
00:43:23You're early.
00:43:32Vic.
00:43:33I really need that sketch.
00:43:43I said I'd help.
00:43:44Not hand over my design.
00:43:46Holly's all over me about this.
00:43:48If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
00:43:54Still lying, Mia.
00:43:56You never learn.
00:43:57Guess it's payback time.
00:43:59So, do you want my help or not?
00:44:02I can walk you through it.
00:44:04Your design could be just as good.
00:44:06She's such a snake.
00:44:09Vic, my stomach is killing me.
00:44:12Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
00:44:15Fine.
00:44:16Don't touch anything.
00:44:18Sorry, then.
00:44:45Survival of the fiddles.
00:44:47You just let her take your work?
00:45:02She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
00:45:07You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
00:45:11Go after the same clients.
00:45:13Show them what real design looks like.
00:45:15We're not out yet.
00:45:30Oh, there's a revolution rope.
00:45:32I figure you can use all the backup you can get.
00:45:42You're welcome, Mom.
00:45:43I want you and your team as your men.
00:45:52Full creative control.
00:45:55Oh, Miranda, your husband's debt, handled.
00:45:59And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
00:46:03Mr. Chabelle, yeah, I...
00:46:05I'm Pauline, your sister is in good hands.
00:46:10The best heart surgeon in the country is already prepping for her next surgery.
00:46:16Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
00:46:19Don't thank me.
00:46:21Thank Victoria.
00:46:22I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
00:46:24Vincent, I don't even know what to say.
00:46:31It's about time you all get what you deserve.
00:46:34It's about time you all get what you deserve.
00:47:24And you're still here.
00:47:43Final tweaks.
00:47:45The pitch goes out tomorrow.
00:47:51You've got Grace to sleep.
00:47:52Yeah.
00:47:57And 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 history.
00:48:17Maison Laveau sets the bar.
00:48:19We don't follow trends.
00:48:22We create them.
00:48:29Satin black lapels.
00:48:30Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Metcala moment.
00:48:34A blend of tradition and boldness.
00:48:36I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
00:48:47What is that bitch doing here?
00:48:49Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
00:48:56My 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.
00:49:09I multitask.
00:49:13Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
00:49:18You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in letters.
00:49:23The office is so empty, it echoes.
00:49:26And the only thing growing at Nizon Laveau is the legal risk.
00:49:30Pregnant woman talk, you know.
00:49:33Three excellent reason of I'm the CEO.
00:49:36What's next?
00:49:36The sale?
00:49:37Laugh 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, I'm glad you can make it.
00:50:01We have something very special to show you.
00:50:06Pick.
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.
00:50:25You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
00:50:36First up, me and McMichael, Nizon 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 Project 2.
00:51:29Mets on Laveau.
00:51:30Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
00:51:31Who designed this tuxedo?
00:51:31Did you even read the brief?
00:51:32Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
00:51:36This is what we planned all along, wasn't it?
00:51:48What 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, you must have read the brief.
00:52:04It's not complicated.
00:52:05It says, no synthetic blend.
00:52:08I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
00:52:11Perhaps Nia overlooked something.
00:52:13A mistake?
00:52:14I could have ended up in the emergency room.
00:52:18Victoria, please, tell these amateurs why you pulled your last design.
00:52:23I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
00:52:35I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
00:52:38And that's why Victoria is the best.
00:52:40She actually pays attention.
00:52:42After reviewing all of the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
00:52:46The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:52:50Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip up.
00:52:55Mia's design was the front runner all along.
00:52:58That's why they picked her first.
00:53:04Maybe everyone should see this.
00:53:11Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
00:53:15That's a new low, even for you.
00:53:26Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
00:53:30So you know, I will be supporting Victoria's case for design debt.
00:53:37Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
00:53:40We're suspending all collaborations.
00:53:53Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
00:53:56You're blacklisted.
00:54:02Victoria, please.
00:54:10I'll do anything.
00:54:11Please, just help me save the company, the brand you built for 15 years.
00:54:21You made your choices, Holly.
00:54:23Now you live with them.
00:54:27She finally went too far.
00:54:28Sean Gosling's look tonight is a dame junior crafted by the trailblazing team at Joben.
00:54:40Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
00:54:43To the best comeback in fashion history and to the women who made it happen.
00:54:58And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
00:55:04Mom, you might want to see this.
00:55:07Happy birthday, Victoria.
00:55:22Happy birthday to you!
00:55:28Guys, look!
00:55:32Maison Laveau on the brink?
00:55:33Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
00:55:37Ouch!
00:55:38I guess karma has a sense of humor.
00:55:41It's strange, isn't it?
00:55:46I gave them everything.
00:55:49Late nights, weekends, all the best years, and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
00:55:55Now it's all crashing down.
00:55:58I thought I felt vindicated.
00:56:00Honestly, it's a weird mix.
00:56:03Relief?
00:56:04Sure, but also a little bit of grief.
00:56:08Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
00:56:12Look at this!
00:56:14Joven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
00:56:19Victoria, this is you!
00:56:20Victoria, this is you!
00:56:22You did this!
00:56:25Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
00:56:31Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
00:56:36Careful, Vincent.
00:56:37You almost forgot the best part.
00:56:45Bye.
00:56:46Victoria wins her.
00:56:51Victoria wins her.
00:56:55Will you marry me?
00:57:00Yes!
00:57:02A thousand times yes!
00:57:03Woo!
00:57:04Yeah!
00:57:16Who came.
00:57:17I thought you would wanna see me like this.
00:57:19You came, I thought you'd want to see me like this.
00:57:46I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
00:57:51When word got out you left, clients failed, the board freaked, numbers tanked, I couldn't
00:57:59stop it.
00:58:02You stood me as on the boat into this storm holly.
00:58:06I know, I know, my father, the stress gave him a heart attack, he won't even speak to me
00:58:17anymore.
00:58:18I destroyed everything.
00:58:20I thought slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
00:58:27I didn't mean to pretend like this.
00:58:31Maison Laveau isn't dead.
00:58:33I bought it.
00:58:35Last week.
00:58:36The brand, the archives, even the debt.
00:58:41It's part of Jovan now.
00:58:43You've lied, why would you do that?
00:58:46To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
00:58:54You win, Victoria.
00:58:56I hope you do better than I did.
00:58:59I'll do it differently.
00:59:02Goodbye, Paul.
00:59:21Miss Winter, I just, I wanted to thank you.
00:59:26Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
00:59:31I can keep working and have my baby.
00:59:36You changed everything.
00:59:39Congratulations.
00:59:41Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
00:59:53Ready?
00:59:58Always.
01:00:01And now, Jovan's new collection, designed by Victoria Winsmore and your team.
01:00:15What?
01:00:16We did a bunch.
01:00:17This is different from now, responsabilizing my life.
01:00:18And now, we made a bunch of knows.
01:00:23That's what's up, really!
