00:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the system crashed mid-upload, half the collection is the wrong season, we're on everything, no.
00:20We're on runways in 48 hours, if productions start with these botched designs, we're all dead, not just fired, we're dead, company collapses, our careers are over, come out here and talk to us, we have 8 million tied up in this collection.
00:38I have a fashion editor from Logan, right now, one word for me, your industry poison.
00:50Enough.
00:59Vic!
01:02Mia, Japanese indigo.
01:05Miranda, call production, emergency protocol 7.
01:09Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:15Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:19It's 28 minutes, the whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2427 now.
01:26Tick tock.
01:46I'm done.
01:47Crisis averted.
01:49Nice.
01:49Where to go?
01:50You're not human.
01:5127 minutes.
01:53Holy shit.
01:54Pre-orders are flooding in.
01:56This will shatter every record.
02:04Vic.
02:05Are you okay?
02:08Just Brax and Hicks, nothing to...
02:13Oh my god, your water broke.
02:15Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:25Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:27Mom, dad called.
02:28Mom, dad called.
02:29I wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since
02:37he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:41That's my girl.
02:43Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
02:57We need to slash costs.
02:59We need to slash costs immediately.
03:01Layoffs.
03:06Absent without leave.
03:09Oh, dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:11Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:19In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:26No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:30Boss, the Milan collection crisis, averted.
03:36Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:38Ew, you saved the entire collection?
03:40Impressive.
03:41Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
03:49Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:51She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:54I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
03:58But, Victoria...
04:02Don't worry about her.
04:03I'm not useless.
04:04Prego just have fire.
04:10You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:12I hid something in the design.
04:15Your initials and now little graces.
04:19Hold them right into the fabric.
04:25And that's gonna be a Milan runway?
04:27Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:32Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:34Mom, you ain't have to.
04:36You're going to that private school.
04:38No discussion.
04:40Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:43This job will keep us afloat.
04:45I love you, Mom.
04:58Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:03After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:08Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:31What the hell?
05:32Listen up, everyone.
05:33Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:35Effective immediately.
05:38You can't just do that.
05:40She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:42They're a loss against this.
05:44Vic worked while in labor.
05:46She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:49Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:52These preggles are bleeding us dry.
05:56Everything okay here?
06:00Great timing.
06:02Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:06Clear out your desk now.
06:07You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:17I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:21Three times.
06:25Well, that's ancient history.
06:28The board wants fresh blood.
06:30And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:34What?
06:38What?
06:39I'm the one who...
06:42Mia, you...
06:45Feel that curve?
06:46That's your signature.
06:48That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
06:55How could you?
06:56I taught you everything you know.
06:58I wish things were different, Vic.
07:06I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:18What happens to my team?
07:19Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:24Things got so bad she had to get hair implants.
07:28Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:33These jobs are their lifelines.
07:35Health insurance.
07:36Paid maternity leave.
07:37Basic human dignity.
07:38You can't just throw them away.
07:40Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:43No mandated paid maternity leave.
07:47No real protection.
07:48But hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:51Or we can shift the math.
07:54You sign.
07:56They stay.
07:57The budget works out.
07:59Think of it as...
08:01Taking one for the team.
08:03Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:07And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:11They can't lose their jobs.
08:17Come on, Vic.
08:18You say you care about them.
08:20Prove it.
08:21Probably a lot too.
08:40What are you doing?
08:42Oh, fantastic.
08:46Five grand.
08:57That's my severance package after 15 years.
08:59That's what I'm worth to them.
09:14Careful.
09:16I got you.
09:23Vincent?
09:24Vincent Chevalier?
09:26Hi.
09:30High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:42So, it's true.
09:46Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Misan Laveau's Milan collection.
09:51How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
09:59Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:01Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:07What are you getting at exactly?
10:09I'm talking about you and me.
10:11Partners.
10:15You're genius.
10:17My money.
10:19You know, corporate BS.
10:21No one holding you back.
10:29I've got a baby to think about now.
10:31And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:37Just saying.
10:39Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:40You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
10:49Can I respond to you?
10:50Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
10:59Triple her salary, corner office.
11:01You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:05Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:08Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:12Wow, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:19I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:23The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:26If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:32Shit, shit, shit.
11:35What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this?
11:45Actually, those were my designs.
11:51What did you just say?
11:52The spring collection. The Cartier pieces.
11:56I designed them. Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:01Oops, looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:06I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:10Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:19A lot sketches get passed around all the time. It doesn't prove squat.
12:22Maybe she was your little, what do they call it, dress designer?
12:28And the logo?
12:31The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
12:35It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:38Well, Mia, explain it and make her shut up.
12:40It's funny. All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing it over, they all have EW and GW so near too.
12:54Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter. Her newborn is Grace Winter.
12:59It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:06Is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
13:10Well, Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.
13:16The logo, it's... it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:23You lying little bitch!
13:25That promotion was for saving the company.
13:30Look at the logo again.
13:32It's not EW or GW.
13:36It's actually two Ms.
13:39M-M for McMichael, my last name.
13:45See? One M flipped, one upright.
13:49It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:52It's mine.
13:53That is absolutely ridiculous.
13:57Oh my god, she's right. It does look more like two Ms.
14:02You manipulative bitch. You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:08You learned well, Mia.
14:11Maybe too well.
14:13You'll regret this.
14:16Come on, Vincent.
14:17We don't have to sink to their level.
14:20Okay.
14:22Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:24My Ferrari's outside.
14:26And I got this. You shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
14:33Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:35Just take care of the matter of Polly, will you?
14:42That's right! Get the hell out of my company!
14:45Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:47Paul and Victoria.
14:54A VIP invitation, perhaps fashionable.
15:00Front row. I didn't even find it.
15:03Lightning.
15:04Every pregnant woman fired.
15:14All of us.
15:16Just like that.
15:18No severance.
15:19No warning.
15:20Nothing.
15:21A box in a security S group.
15:28Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:32Their termination paperwork practically paid for your signing bonus right right in Star.
15:37Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
15:40Your designs are eagerly awaited.
15:45You should have kept your legs closed.
15:51Oh my god, Mom.
15:54This is insane.
15:55I can't believe we're actually here.
15:57Victoria Winsford.
15:58The Nuclear Vic.
16:00Your mom's basically a legend.
16:01You know that, right?
16:03We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
16:07Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:10Wait. Maison Léveau?
16:12Well, well.
16:13The Queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
16:16Brave of you to show up here.
16:18What's next?
16:19Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:21Let's go.
16:22Leaving so soon?
16:23You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:25Has Mommy Dearest filled you in on her little career update?
16:26About getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:27Mom, is that true?
16:28Don't worry.
16:29She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
16:31Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
16:32Still pretending she matters.
16:33My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
16:34If Ms. Kester, you haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:36You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:37Does Mommy Dearest filled you in on her little career update?
16:39About getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:44Mom, is that true?
16:46Don't worry.
16:47She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
16:51Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
16:54Still pretending she matters.
16:59My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:02If Ms. Henribeault was putting people like you in charge of the business,
17:07then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:09Well, look at that.
17:10It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:13Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:17That's got a sting, huh?
17:19Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero.
17:23But hey, good news.
17:25There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:28If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:33That's enough.
17:37That's enough.
17:39You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:42You never belonged in this world.
17:44Look at her.
17:45A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
17:50That dress.
17:52It's a cheap knockoff.
17:55Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
17:59It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:02What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:08Remove that dress.
18:10We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:14Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:17And let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:21Take your hands off her now.
18:22Vincent.
18:32You're dismissed.
18:41You alright?
18:45You alright?
18:46I'm fine.
18:47Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
18:50The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
18:53What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
18:57That knockoff?
18:59That you're so eager to trash her for?
19:02It's Chevenne.
19:04Votvator.
19:06Winter Collection.
19:08Not even released yet.
19:10Price tag?
19:12300,000.
19:13Wow!
19:14You gave her that.
19:16That's right.
19:17You did.
19:20I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:23Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:26Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy!
19:30Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight, he's your walking trust fund.
19:36Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:39It's just so predictably desperate.
19:41It's great.
19:43You really don't understand real talent, do you?
19:47For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier, CEO of Jevenne.
19:55Yes.
19:57I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:01I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:05Your brilliance.
20:07Your principles.
20:09Your passion.
20:11Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:15Mom, did you know about this?
20:16I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:21But in the meantime, what I will do is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:29She won't let you down, boss.
20:30You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier. She's nothing but a has-been.
20:39The show is about to start. Your seats are waiting.
20:42Holy shit. The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together? Talk about a power couple. Think about the entire industry.
20:56This isn't over, bitch. Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:09So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:16Some talents you recognize immediately. Some people too.
21:27Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:32This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:35She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:41It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:45I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
21:50And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
21:56That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria? Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:03That's enough, Holly.
22:06Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:10Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:14Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:19That's her real design strategy.
22:20Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:23And those kids she's so proud of, who knows who their real fathers are.
22:29How dare you!
22:33Mr. Jenkins, listen, Michael, it's a disaster in there.
22:37There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
22:40Not now.
22:41The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
22:49The dresses are literally falling apart.
22:52We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
22:55Is this some kind of sick joke, Maisemovale?
22:57Are you cancelling the show because of your incompetence?
23:00This is completely unprofessional.
23:01I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:06This is breach of contract.
23:10It's actually fixable.
23:13Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping me backstabbing vultures.
23:20Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:22Maisemovale appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:25Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled minutes before showtime.
23:28The question on everyone's mind, is this the end for the once prestigious fashion groups?
23:38This show doesn't happen.
23:40You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
23:43We're talking billions, Holly.
23:45Billions.
23:58What's this?
24:10Now.
24:12How? The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:16I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:20You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:22If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:27That's billions of dollars.
24:30Then you better figure something out.
24:32Because if you don't, not only are you fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
24:36Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
24:50Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
24:53Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
24:57And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:01We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:03We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:15Excuse me.
25:17Excuse me.
25:19It's okay, Pop.
25:21I'll be right back.
25:27What do you want, Mia?
25:28Vic.
25:31I really need your help.
25:34Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:38Look.
25:40I know you're furious.
25:42I would be too.
25:44But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
25:46What about them?
25:48Their jobs are on the line with this show.
25:50If we tank, they're done.
25:52Holly will fire them without a second thought.
25:54Please.
25:55If you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out here.
26:00Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:03Yes, absolutely.
26:04And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:07Please, Vic.
26:08Not for me.
26:10For them.
26:12I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make or break show.
26:17What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:19They...
26:20They couldn't make it.
26:22Holly cut the travel budget.
26:23Is that right?
26:26Victoria.
26:28I know I don't deserve your help.
26:31They do.
26:33Fine.
26:36I'll help.
26:38But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
26:40Not for you.
26:41Oh my god.
26:42It's Victoria Winter.
26:43The nuclear beck.
26:44I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric.
26:58Now.
26:59I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:07Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:11Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:13Would this work?
27:14Vincent.
27:15How did you...
27:16I figured you might need some supplies.
27:17So...
27:18I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
27:19This is perfect, but...
27:20Joven and Maison Lavo are competitors.
27:21Why would you help them?
27:22I'm not helping them.
27:23I'm helping you.
27:25I'm helping you.
27:26I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
27:29I have a design I've been saving.
27:33This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors. Why would you help them?
27:40I'm not helping them. I'm helping you.
27:46I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
27:49I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone. It's yours now.
27:56I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:00Then what do you want?
28:03You.
28:05What?
28:10Your talent. Your vision. Come and work as Joven.
28:16I'm in. I'll work for you.
28:19Just like that?
28:21Just like that. Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
28:26I hate it when I call it cool. I wish I was cool. Like the new girl at school. I regret it. So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get it.
28:42I want me back. Don't ever change me. I'm gonna be proud of my name.
28:51She's doing it in minutes. What would have taken us hours.
28:57Whoa. No wonder they call her the nuclear vic. It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:05The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:13Five minutes till showtime. You made it.
29:15Five minutes till showtime.
29:25Well, do we pull the plug or not?
29:28We're good. Everything's back on track.
29:31See?
29:32I knew firing Victoria was the right call. You've got twice her talent.
29:38Yeah. Right.
29:40This is exactly why I promoted you. Your fix best is to not make them.
29:51To Victoria. The real hero of the night.
30:02Mom, you're insane. I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:12Couldn't have done it without you.
30:15You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
30:25Well, well, still hanging around. I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
30:31Fraud.
30:33Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
30:37What are you talking about?
30:38Just ask the models. Any of them.
30:43Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement.
30:46About Miranda and Pauline.
30:48I won't.
30:54Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:00Speaking of new beginnings.
31:05Emily's private school applications.
31:10I want to help.
31:11With her education.
31:13What?
31:13Vincent, that's too much.
31:15We barely know each other.
31:18Victoria.
31:20I've known you since we were 17.
31:24I remember watching you win that regional competition.
31:28In that silver dress.
31:30The one you made from scratch.
31:32I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
31:39Do you remember that?
31:41I remember everything.
31:42I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
31:52Why didn't you ever reach out?
31:54We were married.
31:57And then you weren't.
31:59And then you were building your career.
32:02Timing was never right.
32:06Until now.
32:07I have been waiting for 20 years to do that.
32:31I should probably get this.
32:37Mia.
32:46God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
32:49That Milan disaster you turned around?
32:51Absolute magic.
32:53And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
32:57Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:03Sean Gosling?
33:04The Sean Gosling?
33:06The very one.
33:07Three-time Oscar winner.
33:08People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:10And if we play our cards right.
33:12The next face of Maison Nicole is menswear.
33:15They're taking pitches now.
33:17If he picks yours.
33:19This changes everything.
33:20For you.
33:21For the brand.
33:23Where it is.
33:23Joven's in the running too.
33:26Land this.
33:27Vincent and his poor victory are done.
33:29I've got this Holly.
33:38I've got this Holly.
33:38You won't regret it.
33:43You won't regret it.
33:46God, what am I gonna do?
33:47I can't design menswear.
33:49I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
33:52Miranda and Pauline are gone too.
33:55I'm completely on my own.
33:57If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria.
34:04Maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over.
34:18Thanks for meeting me.
34:31I know things are complicated between us.
34:33You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
34:35Cut to the chase.
34:41We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tax.
34:43Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
34:45Miranda is excellent with menswear.
34:46She can handle this without me.
34:48Please, wait.
34:48There's more to it.
34:50After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
34:54Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
34:57I've been fighting for them.
34:58Are you serious?
35:00Holly's due any day now.
35:02Trust me, I know.
35:03This project is our only shot.
35:05If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:08Have you worked with Sean before?
35:10No, but I've heard you have.
35:12What?
35:13Ages ago.
35:15I did a jacket for him for the Met Gala.
35:17Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept for him right before I left Maison LaValle.
35:22Really?
35:22What concept?
35:23I did a new tuxedo concept for him.
35:29Well?
35:43Perfect, she's handing everything over without even realizing.
35:46I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
35:51Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
35:55I do.
35:56Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison LaValle.
36:01Wait.
36:03Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:05How exactly is she part of this project?
36:07Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:13Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:17Of course, Vic.
36:19Colleen and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:24You need to think about it.
36:26Take all the time you need.
36:28Mia, don't make me regret trusting you.
36:33Again.
36:42Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
36:54Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
36:58The Shawn Gosselin one with the black satin lapels?
37:01That's the one.
37:02Can you check my home office?
37:03It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:08Got it.
37:09Grace is napping.
37:10The perfect timing.
37:11Thanks, sweetie.
37:12I just need to double check something about that.
37:18Shoulder.
37:19Instruction.
37:22Mom, are you okay?
37:27Miranda?
37:29Vic?
37:33Mom, Mom, what's going on?
37:34Emily, I'll call you right back.
37:40Brenda, what happened?
37:41Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
37:44Littles don't pay themselves.
37:46You met my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
37:52Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
37:56What?
37:57Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:02After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:06No subbearance, no cover, and nothing.
38:09Just gone.
38:10That's completely illegal.
38:13Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some third performance clause.
38:18All at once.
38:20What are the odds, right?
38:22And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours diner.
38:27Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
38:29And Mia knew about all this.
38:36Mia.
38:38Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
38:41Didn't even blink.
38:43Too busy admiring her shiny new create and direct title.
38:48She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
38:51Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
38:54What?
38:56That bitch!
38:56This ends now.
39:06Damn it!
39:12Miss Michael, he's just arrived from Milan.
39:15We need approval by him for them.
39:17Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:27What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
39:30Victoria would never treat us.
39:34I heard that.
39:36You think Victoria is so perfect?
39:39Then where is she now?
39:40Gone.
39:41Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
39:45Well at least you could actually design it.
39:47What the hell is going on here?
39:55Just a creative disagreement.
39:57Everything's under control.
39:59The Gosling page, tell me you have something presentable.
40:06Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:08Show me.
40:08It's not quite ready.
40:11Now.
40:17This is garbage.
40:20Absolute garbage.
40:22I just need a little more time.
40:23We don't have your time.
40:24This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
40:27If Shun Finn gets this deal instead of us.
40:33What's that?
40:33It's just some inspiration.
40:39I recorded for the design.
40:43I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
40:46Get me when you design me till morning morning.
40:48Or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:03I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:22Right on cue.
41:26Meet that sketch ASAP.
41:28Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
41:32The absolute nerve of this woman.
41:37She'll get her a sketch.
41:39And that's when we spring the trap.
41:51You're early.
41:52Vic, I really need that sketch.
42:01I said I'd help.
42:04Not hand over my design.
42:06Holly's all over me about this.
42:08If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:14Still lying, Mia.
42:15You never learn.
42:17Guess it's payback time.
42:19So, do you want my help or not?
42:22I can walk you through it.
42:23Your design could be just as good.
42:25She's such a snake.
42:26Vic, my stomach is killing me.
42:31Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
42:34Fine.
42:36Don't touch anything.
42:49I'm sorry, man.
43:05Survival of the fittest.
43:06You just let her take your work?
43:20She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
43:23You know, boss.
43:27We could pitch ourselves.
43:29Go after the same clients.
43:31Show them what real design looks like.
43:35We're not out yet.
43:48I heard there's a revolution, bro.
43:53I figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:00You're welcome, mom.
44:04I want you and your team as your vent.
44:09Full creative control.
44:12Miranda, your husband's debt handled.
44:16And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:19Mr. Chevalier, I'm Pauline.
44:24Your sister is in good hands.
44:27The best heart surgeon in the country.
44:29She's already prepping for her next surgery.
44:32Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
44:35Don't thank me.
44:37Thank Victoria.
44:38I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
44:42Vincent, I don't even know what to say.
44:47It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:17So
45:48We're here.
45:52And you're still here.
45:54Final tweaks.
45:55The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:01You've got Grace to sleep.
46:05Yeah.
46:07And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:12Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
46:18Remember, smile.
46:22We're about to make the street.
46:27Maison Laveau sets the bar.
46:30We don't follow trends.
46:31We create them.
46:37Satin black lapels.
46:39Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.
46:43A blend of tradition and boldness.
46:46I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
46:55What is that bitch doing here?
46:57Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:04My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:10I didn't expect to see you here.
47:12I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
47:15I multitask.
47:20Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
47:24You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
47:29The office is so empty, it echoes.
47:32And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
47:36Pregnant woman talk, you know.
47:38Three excellent fleas in a rival CEO.
47:41What's next?
47:42A fake sale?
47:44Laugh all you want, Holly.
47:46You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
47:49And what real loyalty looks like.
47:51Sean, I'm glad you can make it.
48:09We have something very special to show you.
48:14Vic.
48:18I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
48:21Congratulations.
48:23Thank you, Sean.
48:24It's good to see you.
48:26Let's begin the pitches.
48:29You ready to lose?
48:31You're out of your league.
48:32You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
48:41First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:02Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:14Beautiful work.
49:14Both themes.
49:20We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
49:27After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...
49:33Maison Laveau.
49:34This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
49:50What the hell did you people put me in?
49:53Are you trying to kill me?
49:55Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
49:58Who designed this tuxedo?
49:59Did you even read the brief?
50:03I mean...
50:04You must have read the brief.
50:06It's not complicated.
50:08It says no synthetic blends.
50:11I mean...
50:11It must be some kind of mistake.
50:14Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
50:16A mistake?
50:17I could have ended up in the emergency room.
50:20Victoria, please, tell these amateurs
50:24why you pulled your last design.
50:32I pulled my design
50:33because the only fabric left was synthetic.
50:36I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
50:39And that's why Victoria's the best.
50:41She actually pays attention.
50:43After reviewing all of the entries,
50:45the committee has reached a decision.
50:48The committee goes to
50:49Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
50:51It's okay.
50:54Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
50:57Mia's design was the front runner all along.
50:59That's why they picked her first.
51:04Maybe everyone should see this.
51:12Wait, Mia.
51:13Did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:19Not so near low.
51:21Even for you.
51:24Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
51:30So you know,
51:32I will be supporting Victoria's case
51:34for design theft.
51:37Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
51:40We're suspending all collaborations.
51:42Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
51:55You're blacklisted.
52:02Victoria, please.
52:09Victoria, please.
52:11I'll do anything.
52:14Please, just help me save the company,
52:15the brand you built for 15 years.
52:19You made your choices, Holly.
52:21Now you live with them.
52:25Why don't you go too far?
52:26Shawn Gosling's look tonight is a game-changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
52:37Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
52:40To the best comeback in fashion history and to the women who made it happen.
52:52And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
52:58Mom, you might want to see this.
53:01Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:15Happy birthday to you!
53:17Guys, look!
53:25Maison Laveau on the brink.
53:27Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
53:31Ouch!
53:32I guess karma has a sense of humor.
53:34It's strange, isn't it?
53:36I gave them everything.
53:41Late nights, weekends, all the best years, and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
53:47Now it's all crashing down.
53:50I thought I'd feel vindicated.
53:53Honestly, it's a weird mix.
53:56Relief?
53:56Sure, but also a little bit of grief.
54:00Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
54:03Look at this!
54:06Joven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
54:12Victoria, this is you!
54:14You did this!
54:15Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
54:22Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
54:26Careful, Vincent.
54:28I almost forgot the best part.
54:41Victoria Winter.
54:45Will you marry me?
54:50Yes!
54:51A thousand times yes!
54:53Woo!
54:54Yeah!
54:54Woo!
