00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the system crashed mid-upload! Half the collection is the wrong season! We're on everything!
00:15The long runway is in 48 hours! If production starts with these batch designs, we're all dead! Not just fired, we're dead!
00:27Our company collapses, our careers are over! Come out here and talk to us! We have 8 million tied up in this collection!
00:34I have a fashion that you're floating on right now! One word for me, you're in some poison!
00:54Enough!
00:55Vic!
00:58Mia, Japanese Indigo.
01:01Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.
01:05Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:12Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:1628 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot!
01:2027 now. Tick tock!
01:21I'm done! Crisis averted!
01:33I swear to god, you're not human!
01:3527 minutes!
01:36Holy shit! Pre-orders are flooding in! This will shatter every record!
01:42Vet!
01:43Vet! Are you okay?
01:44Just...
01:45Brax and Hicks, nothing to...
01:46Oh my god, your water broke!
01:47I swear to god, you're not human!
01:4827 minutes!
01:49I swear to god, you're not human!
01:5027 minutes!
01:51The dumbass-
01:5210 minutes left!
01:53Yes!
01:54I swear to god, you're not human!
01:55I swear to god, you're not human being human!
01:56I swear to god, you're not human being human!
01:58Vet, are you okay?
02:03Just Frax and Hicks, nothing to-
02:07Oh my god, your water broke!
02:18Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:23Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:26Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance was more comfortable than ours.
02:41That's my girl.
02:43Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But there's a condition. We need to slash costs immediately.
03:00Layoffs.
03:05Absent without leave. Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:11Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Malayan disaster, they get immunity.
03:17In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:25No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:29Boss, the Milan collection crisis averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:38Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:42Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director? Starting today.
03:47Oh my God, is this really happening? She's offering me Victoria's job? I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
03:58But, Victoria- Don't worry about her. I'm not useless. I'm going to set up fire.
04:11You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:15I hid something in the design.
04:18Your initials and now little graces.
04:22Hold them right into the fabric.
04:23What happened?
04:28And that's going to give him a long runway?
04:31Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:34Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:37Mom, you ain't have to.
04:39You're going to that private school. No discussion.
04:43Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:46This job will keep us afloat.
04:48I love you, Mom.
04:53I love you, Mom.
04:54I love you, Mom.
04:55I love you, Mom.
04:56I love you, Mom.
04:58I love you, Mom.
05:00Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:05After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:10Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:27What the hell?
05:31Listen up, everyone!
05:32Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:33Effective immediately.
05:35You can't just do that.
05:36She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:38They're a loss against this.
05:39Vic worked while in labor.
05:40She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:42Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:44These preggos are bleeding us dry.
05:45She's in the hospital having her baby. They're a loss against this.
05:49Vic worked while in labor. She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggos are bleeding us dry.
06:00Everything okay here?
06:04Great timing.
06:07Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:10Clear out your desk now.
06:15You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:23I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:27Many times.
06:30Well, that's ancient history.
06:34The board wants fresh blood.
06:36And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:43What?
06:45I'm the one who...
06:48Mia, you.
06:51Feel that curve?
06:52That's your signature.
06:54That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:01How could you?
07:02I taught you everything you know.
07:04I wish things were different, Vic.
07:14I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:18Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight, working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:31Things got so bad, she had to get hair implants.
07:34Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:40These jobs are their lifelines.
07:42Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:45You can't just throw them away.
07:47Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:51No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection.
07:54But hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:57Or we can shift the math.
07:59You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:05Think of it as taking one for the team.
08:09Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:14And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:17They can't lose their jobs.
08:23Come on, babe.
08:24You say you care about them.
08:26Prove it.
08:39Five grand.
09:03That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:06That's what I'm worth to them.
09:09Be careful.
09:22I got you.
09:29Vincent?
09:30Vincent Chevalier?
09:33Hi.
09:33High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:48So, it's true.
09:52Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door
09:54after single-handedly saving
09:56Mison LeBeau's Milan collection.
09:57How would you feel
10:02about not having to answer
10:04to single-minded executives anymore?
10:08Someone with your kind of talent
10:09shouldn't be treated like this.
10:13What are you getting at exactly?
10:16I'm talking about you and me.
10:20Partners.
10:21Your genius, my money.
10:25No corporate BS.
10:28No one holding you back.
10:34I've got a baby to think about now.
10:36And I have an empty corner office
10:38with a view and an attached nursery.
10:42Just saying.
10:43Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:49You didn't expect to see the head of Joven,
10:51our corporate nemesis,
10:53strolling into the office.
10:55Got your spy here?
10:59Don't mind me.
11:00I'm just giving Victoria here
11:01a soft landing.
11:04Triple her salary.
11:05Corner office.
11:06Before the vultures at L.D.
11:10or Chanel swooping.
11:11Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:14Rescuing a washed-up single mom
11:16with outdated ideas.
11:18It's an interesting take to have
11:20considering you wearing
11:21Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:24I mean, the jacket,
11:25that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:29The earrings,
11:29that's Victoria's collaboration
11:31with Cartier.
11:32If her work is so far beneath you,
11:34then maybe you should just
11:36strip.
11:38Shit, shit, shit.
11:40What are you talking about?
11:42Victoria designed all of this.
11:49Actually, those were my designs.
11:55What did you just say?
11:56The spring collection.
11:58The Cartier pieces.
12:00I designed them.
12:02Under your supervision, of course,
12:03but they came for me.
12:05Oops.
12:06Looks like you've been backing
12:07the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:09I thought you were better than this man.
12:13Then explain my signature
12:15on the original sketch
12:17dated six months ago.
12:23So what?
12:24Sketches get passed around all the time.
12:26It doesn't prove squat.
12:28Maybe she was your little...
12:29What do they call it?
12:31The dress designer?
12:33And the logo?
12:36The EW woven in
12:38Victoria's signature mark.
12:41It's been on every major piece
12:42she's designed for years.
12:44Well, Mia, explain it.
12:45Make her shut up.
12:50It's funny.
12:51All those pieces
12:52from the Milan collection
12:54that everyone's losing
12:55that everyone's losing
12:55in their life.
12:56They all have EW and GW
12:58so new, too.
13:00Victoria's daughter
13:01is Emily Winter.
13:03Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:07It's just quite a coincidence
13:08that those initials
13:09should appear
13:09in all your designs.
13:11Mia,
13:11is there a special
13:13EW and GW
13:14in your life, too?
13:16Well, Mia,
13:17tell them.
13:18Tell them you designed this.
13:20Tell them you saved Milan.
13:21The logo,
13:23it's...
13:24it's adapted
13:26based on
13:27traditional motifs.
13:29You lying little bitch!
13:32That promotion
13:33was for saving the company!
13:38Look at the logo again.
13:40It's not EW
13:42or GW.
13:44It's actually
13:45two M's
13:46MM
13:47for McMichael,
13:49my last name.
13:51See?
13:54One M flipped,
13:56one upright.
13:57It's not for
13:58Grace or Emily.
14:00It's mine.
14:02That is absolutely
14:03ridiculous.
14:05Oh my god,
14:06she's right.
14:07It does look
14:07more like two M's.
14:11You manipulative bitch.
14:12You really thought
14:13you could steal
14:13the credit
14:14from my star designer.
14:16You learned
14:17well, Mia.
14:19Maybe too well.
14:21You'll regret this.
14:25Come on, Vincent.
14:26We don't have to
14:27sink to their level.
14:29Okay.
14:30Then let me drive you
14:31home, okay?
14:32My Ferrari is outside.
14:34If I got this,
14:35you shouldn't be
14:35caring anymore.
14:37I know.
14:41Congratulations
14:42on your promotion,
14:43Mia.
14:45Just
14:45take care of
14:46the matter of
14:47Paulie.
14:47Fuck you.
14:51That's right.
14:51Get the hell
14:52out of my company.
14:53Go leech your
14:54401k somewhere else.
15:02Paulie,
15:02Victoria.
15:03VIP invitation,
15:07as fashionally.
15:09Front row.
15:10I didn't even find it.
15:12Lightning.
15:20Every pregnant woman
15:22fired.
15:23All of us.
15:25Just like that.
15:26No severance,
15:27no warning,
15:29nothing.
15:29But
15:30a box
15:31and a security
15:31escurt.
15:37Finally
15:37purge the company
15:38of those
15:39walking liabilities.
15:41Their termination
15:42people weren't
15:42practically
15:43paid for your
15:43sign-in bonus
15:44my riding star.

15:48movie.
15:49Your designs
15:49are eagerly
15:50weighted.
15:53You should have

15:55closed.
15:56Oh my god,
16:05mom.
16:06This is insane.
16:07I can't believe
16:08we're actually here.
16:09Victoria Winter.
16:11The nuclear dick.
16:13Your mom's

16:14right?
16:16We've been taking
16:17bets on where
16:18you'll land
16:18after Maison-Levaux.
16:20Their loss
16:21is definitely
16:21someone else's
16:22jackpot.
16:23Wait,
16:26Maison-Levaux?
16:29Well,

16:59once she figures
16:59out how to keep

17:01bills.
17:02Ladies and
17:02gentlemen,
17:03Victoria Winter.
17:05Still pretending
17:05she matters.
17:10My mom
17:11is one of the
17:11most talented
17:12designers
17:13in this entire room.
17:14If Maison-Levaux
17:15was putting people
17:16like you
17:16in charge
17:17of the business,
17:18then maybe
17:19deserves to
17:20crash and burn.
17:21Well,
17:21look at that.
17:22It seems
17:22entitlement

17:25Say whatever
17:25you want
17:26about me,
17:27but leave

17:42tough,
17:43maybe send
17:43her over
17:44there.
17:45That's
17:46enough.

17:52always been

18:08Wearing

18:12It's insulting

18:18What the
18:19hell do you

21:49important
21:49announcement.
21:51This
21:52woman is
21:52nothing but
21:53a fraud
21:53and a
21:53thief.
21:54She's been
21:55stealing
21:55designs
21:56from my
21:56creative
21:56director
21:57for
21:57years.
22:00It's
22:00true.
22:01She
22:01took my
22:01work and
22:02passed it
22:02off as
22:03her own.
22:03I slaved
22:05away on
22:06those
22:06designs
22:07day and
22:08night.
22:10And
22:10Victoria
22:11had the
22:11nerve to
22:12pass
22:12them
22:12off as
22:13her own.
22:17That's
22:18just the
22:18tip of
22:18the iceberg
22:19isn't it
22:19Victoria?
22:20Your
22:21entire
22:21career is
22:22based on
22:22lies and
22:22manipulation.
22:24That's
22:25enough
22:25Holly.
22:27Everyone
22:28thinks you're
22:28this creative
22:29genius but
22:30I know
22:30what you
22:30really are.
22:31Your
22:31personal
22:32life is
22:32just as
22:33fake as
22:33the
22:33so-called
22:34talent.
22:36Did you
22:36know she
22:37slept with
22:37half the
22:38executives in
22:38the industry?
22:40That's her
22:41real design
22:41strategy.
22:42Stop it
22:43Holly.
22:43You're
22:43embarrassing
22:44yourself.
22:45And those
22:45kids she's
22:46so proud
22:46of?
22:47Who
22:47knows who
22:47their
22:47real
22:48fathers
22:48are.
22:50How
22:51dare
22:51you?
22:54Miss
22:55Jenkins.
22:56Miss
22:56Michaels.
22:57It's a
22:57disaster in
22:58there.
22:59There's
22:59something
22:59wrong with
22:59the
23:00collection.
23:00It's
23:00the
23:00fabric.
23:02Not
23:02now.
23:03primary
23:08fabrics are
23:09disintegrating
23:10under the
23:10lights.
23:11The
23:12dresses are
23:12literally
23:13falling apart.
23:14We've only
23:15got 50
23:15minutes left
23:16until showtime.
23:17Is this
23:17some kind
23:18of sick
23:18joke,
23:18Maisamovale?
23:19Are you
23:19canceling the
23:20show because
23:20of your
23:21incompetence?
23:22This is
23:22completely
23:23unprofessional.
23:24I have
23:2510 million
23:27invested in
23:27this collection.
23:28This is
23:29breach of
23:29contract.
23:30it's
23:33actually
23:33fixable.
23:36Well,
23:37you can't
23:37seriously be
23:38thinking about
23:38helping you
23:39backstabbing
23:39vultures.
23:42Breaking
23:43news from
23:43Paris Fashion
23:44Week.
23:45Mason
23:45Laveau appears
23:46to be imploding
23:46underneath new
23:47leadership.
23:48sources say
23:49the entire
23:49collection
23:49may be
23:50canceled
23:50minutes
23:51before
23:51showtime.
23:52The question
23:53on everyone's
23:53mind,
23:54is this
23:54the end
23:55for the
23:55once
23:55prestigious
23:56fashion
23:56groups?
24:01This show
24:02doesn't happen.
24:03You're
24:03personally
24:04liable for
24:04the breach
24:05penalties.
24:06We're talking
24:06billions,
24:07Holly.
24:08Billions.
24:09now.
24:28What is this?
24:34Now.
24:36How?
24:36The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:40I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:43You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:47If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:51That's billions of dollars.
24:54Then you better figure something out.
24:55Because if you don't, not only are you fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
25:12Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
25:17Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:21Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:24And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:29We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:42Excuse me.
25:44Excuse me.
25:46It's okay, punk.
25:47I'll be right back.
25:48What do you want, Mia?
25:59Vic, I really need your help.
26:02Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
26:05Look, I know you're furious.
26:10I would be too.
26:11But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
26:14What about them?
26:15Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:18If we tank, they're done.
26:20Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:23Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out here.
26:29Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:31Yes, absolutely.
26:33And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:36Please, Vic, not for me.
26:38For them.
26:39For it's weird.
26:40I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.
26:45What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:47They, they couldn't make it.
26:53Holly cut the travel budget.
26:56Is that right?
26:58Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
27:03They do.
27:05Fine.
27:07I'll help.
27:08But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
27:11Not for you.
27:12Oh, my God.
27:24It's Victoria Winter.
27:26The nuclear VEC.
27:27I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric.
27:30Now.
27:37I need royal fuchsia for the stitching.
27:39Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:42Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:47Would this work?
27:54Vincent.
27:56How did you...
27:57I figured you might need some supplies, so...
28:01I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
28:06This is perfect, but...
28:08Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors.
28:10Why would you help them?
28:13I'm not helping them.
28:16I'm helping you.
28:19I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:22I have a design I've been saving.
28:24Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:28It's yours now.
28:30I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:32Then what do you want?
28:36You.
28:39What?
28:43You're a talent.
28:45You're a vision.
28:47Come and work at Joven.
28:50I'm in.
28:51I'll work for you.
28:53Just like that?
28:54Just like that.
28:55Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
28:59I hate it when I'm gone.
29:06I wish I was cool.
29:09Like the new girl at school.
29:12I regret it.
29:13So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get.
29:15I want me back.
29:19Don't ever change.
29:21I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:27She's doing in minutes.
29:28What would have taken us hours?
29:31Whoa.
29:32No wonder they call her the nuclear vic.
29:34It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:38The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:46Five minutes till showtime.
29:48You made it.
29:51Well, do we pull the plug or not?
30:04We're good.
30:05Everything's back on track.
30:07See?
30:09I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
30:11You've got twice her talent.
30:14Yeah, right.
30:16This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:18You need to fix this is to not make them.
30:27To Victoria.
30:30The real hero of the night.
30:31Mom, you're insane.
30:44I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:48Couldn't have done it without you.
30:51You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
30:56Well, well, still hanging around.
31:04I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
31:07Fraud.
31:08Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:13What are you talking about?
31:15Just ask the models.
31:16Any of them.
31:19Oh, and Mia.
31:21Don't forget about our agreement.
31:23About Miranda and Pauline.
31:25I will.
31:25I will.
31:25To New Beginnings at Chauvin.
31:39Speaking of New Beginnings.
31:42Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:46I want to help.
31:48With her education.
31:50What?
31:51Vincent, that's too much.
31:53We barely know each other.
31:55Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
32:01I remember watching you win that regional competition.
32:06In that silver dress.
32:07The one you made from scratch.
32:10I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:17You remember that?
32:17I remember everything.
32:21I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:29Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:31We were married.
32:34And then you weren't.
32:36And then you were building your career.
32:39Timing was never right.
32:43Until now.
32:44I have been waiting.
32:5620 years to keep going.
33:10I should probably get this.
33:13Mia?
33:25God, I was so right about firing, Victoria.
33:28That Milan disaster you turned around?
33:30Absolute magic.
33:32And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
33:36Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:40Sean Gosling?
33:43The Sean Gosling?
33:45The very one.
33:46Three-time Oscar winner.
33:48People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:50And if we play our cards right, the next face of Maison Nicole is menswear.
33:54They're taking pitches now.
33:57If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:59For you.
34:00For the brand.
34:02Where it is, Joven's in the running too.
34:04Land this.
34:06Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:12Seal the deal?
34:13I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:15I've got this, Holly.
34:18You won't regret it.
34:25God, what am I gonna do?
34:27I can't design menswear.
34:30I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:33Miranda and Pauline are gone too.
34:35I'm completely on my own.
34:38If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:45maybe I can squeeze one more vehicle over.
34:48Thanks for meeting me.
35:11I know things are complicated between us.
35:13You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
35:15Cut to the chase.
35:16We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux.
35:22Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
35:24Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:25She can handle this without me.
35:26Please, wait.
35:27There's more to it.
35:29After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:33Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:36I've been fighting for them.
35:38Are you serious?
35:39Holly's due any day now.
35:41Trust me, I know.
35:42This project is our only shot.
35:44If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:48Have you worked with Sean before?
35:50No, but I've heard you have.
35:53Ages ago, I did a jacket for him for the Met Gala.
35:57Actually, I was sketching in your tuxedo concept for him right before I left Maison Malone.
36:01Really?
36:02What concept?
36:07Well...
36:08Perfect.
36:08She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:25I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:29Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:34I do.
36:35Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
36:40Wait.
36:42Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:45How exactly is she part of this project?
36:47Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have,
36:51Holly's letting her work from home.
36:52Is the company covering your health insurance?
36:56Of course, Vic.
36:59Colleen and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
37:04You need to leave the body.
37:06Take all the time you need.
37:08Mia.
37:10Don't make me regret trusting you.
37:13Again.
37:13Again.
37:13Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:33Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:37The Sean Gosling one with the black satin lapels?
37:40That's the one.
37:41Can you check my home office?
37:43It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:47Got it.
37:49Grace is napping.
37:50The perfect timing.
37:51Thanks, sweetie.
37:52I just need to double check something about that.
37:57Shoulder.
37:59Instruction.
38:01Mom, are you okay?
38:07Miranda?
38:09Vic?
38:13Mom, mom, mom, what's going on?
38:17Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:20Brenda, what happened?
38:22Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:25Littles don't pay themselves.
38:27You had met my husband, old child, with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
38:33Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the gossling project.
38:36What?
38:37Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:43After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:47No severance, no cover, nothing.
38:50Just gone.
38:51That's completely illegal.
38:53Company lawyer said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
38:59All at once.
39:01What are the odds, right?
39:03And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours diner, her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:10And Mia knew about all this.
39:18Mia, front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
39:23Didn't even blink.
39:25Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
39:29She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
39:33Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:36What?
39:38That bitch!
39:38This ends now.
39:48Damn it!
39:53Miss Michael, he's just arrived from Milan.
39:57We need approval by name for that.
39:59Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:01I'm working on something important.
40:08What are y'all looking at?
40:12Get back to work.
40:14Victoria would never treat us.
40:17I heard that.
40:19You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:22Then where is she now?
40:24Gone.
40:24Now I'm in charge.
40:25And if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:29Well, at least you can actually design it.
40:31What the hell is going on here?
40:39Just a creative disagreement.
40:41Everything's under control.
40:42The Gosling page.
40:43Tell me you have something presentable.
40:48Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:51Show me.
40:52It's not quite ready.
40:54This is garbage.
41:03Absolute garbage.
41:05I just need a little more time.
41:06We don't have more time.
41:07This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:10If your fan gets this deal instead of us...
41:13What's that?
41:21It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:27I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
41:30Get me when you design me tomorrow morning.
41:32Or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:34I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
42:00I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
42:04Right on cue.
42:11Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:13Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:17The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:21She'll get her a sketch.
42:23And that's when we spin the trap.
42:25You're early.
42:39Vic.
42:40I really need that sketch.
42:50I said I'd help.
42:51Not hand over my design.
42:53Holly's all over me about this.
42:55If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
43:01Still lying, Mia.
43:02You never learn.
43:04Guess it's payback time.
43:06So, do you want my help or not?
43:09I can walk you through it.
43:10Your design could be just as good.
43:12She's such a snake.
43:14Vic, my stomach is killing me.
43:18Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:21Fine.
43:22But don't touch anything.
43:24Sorry, man.
43:50Survival of the finish.
43:52You just let her take your work?
44:07She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
44:09You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
44:16Go after the same clients.
44:18Show them what real design looks like.
44:21We're not out yet.
44:22Oh, there's a revolution, bro.
44:41Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:46You're welcome, Mom.
44:47I want you and your team as your van.
44:56Full creative control.
44:59I'm Miranda.
45:00Your husband's debt handled.
45:03And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
45:07Mr. Chiavelli, I...
45:09I'm Pauline.
45:11Your sister is in good hands.
45:14The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:16She's already prepping for her next surgery.
45:19Mr. Chiavelli, thank you.
45:23Don't thank me.
45:24Thank Victoria.
45:26I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:30Vincent, I...
45:30I don't even know what to say.
45:33It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:37It's about time you all get what you deserve.
46:03I don't even know what to say.
46:04I don't even know what to say.
46:05I don't even know what to say.
46:06I don't even know what to say.
46:07I don't even know what to say.
46:08I don't even know what to say.
46:09I don't even know what to say.
46:10I don't even know what to say.
46:11I don't even know what to say.
46:12I don't even know what to say.
46:13I don't even know what to say.
46:14I don't even know what to say.
46:15I don't even know what to say.
46:16I don't even know what to say.
46:17I don't even know what to say.
46:18I don't even know what to say.
46:19I don't even know what to say.
46:20I don't even know what to say.
46:21I don't even know what to say.
46:22I don't even know what to say.
46:23You're here.
46:44And you're still here.
46:46Final tweaks.
46:47The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:48You've got Grace to sleep.
46:57Yeah.
46:59And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
47:04Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:12Remember, smile.
47:14We're about to make the street.
47:18Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:21We don't follow trends.
47:23We create them.
47:30Satin black lapels.
47:32Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.
47:35A blend of tradition and boldness.
47:38I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:42What is that bitch doing here?
47:54Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:58My company is thriving because of your generosity.
48:03I didn't expect to see you here.
48:06I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:12I multitask.
48:14Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:18You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
48:23The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:25And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:31Pregnant women talk, you know.
48:32Three ex employees in a live-in-law studio.
48:35What's next?
48:36A bake sale?
48:38Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:40You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:43And what real loyalty looks like.
48:45Sean, glad you could make it.
49:00We have something very special to show you.
49:05Vic.
49:09I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:13Congratulations.
49:14Thank you, Sean.
49:15It's good to see you.
49:17Let's begin the pitches.
49:20You ready to lose?
49:22You're out of your league.
49:24You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:34First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:36Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:57Beautiful work.
50:07Beautiful work.
50:08Both themes.
50:13We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:15After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to Maison Laveau.
50:27What the hell did you people put me in?
50:32What the hell did you people put me in?
50:34Are you trying to kill me?
50:35Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:52Who designed this tuxedo?
50:54Did you even read the brief?
50:58I mean, you must have read the brief.
51:01It's not complicated.
51:02It says no synthetic blends.
51:05I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
51:08Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:10A mistake?
51:12I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:15Victoria, please, tell these amateurs why you pulled your last design.
51:27I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:31I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
51:34And that's why Victoria's the best.
51:37She actually pays attention.
51:38After reviewing all of the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
51:43The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:49Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:52Mia's design was the front runner all along.
51:54That's why they picked her first.
51:59Maybe everyone should see this.
52:07Wait.
52:08Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:15That's a new low.
52:16Even for you.
52:21Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:25So you know,
52:26I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
52:33Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:35We're suspending all collaborations.
52:47Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:51You're blacklisted.
52:57Victoria, please.
52:58Victoria, please.
53:09I'll do anything.
53:10Please just help me save the company,
53:12the brand you built for 15 years.
53:15You made your choices, Holly.
53:18Now you live with them.
53:20Yes.
53:20Why don't we went too far?
53:29Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:33Social media is already calling it the winter revolution.
53:45To the best comeback in fashion history and to the women who made it happen.
53:50And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:54Mom, you might want to see this.
54:09Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:14Happy birthday to you!
54:16Guys, look!
54:24Maison Laveau on the brink?
54:26Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:30Ouch!
54:31I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:34It's strange, isn't it?
54:35I gave them everything.
54:41Late nights, weekends, all the best years, and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:49Now it's all crashing down.
54:50I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:53Honestly, it's a weird mix.
54:56Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
55:01Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
55:04Look at this!
55:05Joven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
55:13Victoria, this is you!
55:15You did this!
55:17Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
55:23Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
55:28Careful, Vincent.
55:29You almost forgot the best part.
55:35Victoria Winter.
55:44Victoria Winter.
55:47Will you marry me?
55:49Yes!
55:50A thousand times, yes!
55:55Woohoo!
55:56Woohoo!
55:57Best birthday ever!
56:16You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:38I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:42When word got out, you left. Clients bailed.
56:46The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.
56:52You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
56:58I know. I know.
57:03My father, the stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:08I destroyed everything.
57:12My thoughts slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:19I didn't mean for it to end like this.
57:20Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it. Last week.
57:27The brand, the archives, even the debt. It's part of Jeven now.
57:33He's a lad. Why would you do that?
57:37To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:44You win, Victoria.
57:47I hope you do better than I did.
57:50I'll do it differently.
57:53Goodbye, Holly.
57:54Miss Wintour, I just, I wanted to thank you.
58:14Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
58:20I can't keep working and have my baby.
58:25You changed everything.
58:29Congratulations.
58:30Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
58:42Ready?
58:43Always.
58:58And now, Jovan's new collection, designed by Victoria Wintour and your team.
59:04And now, Jovan's new collection, designed by Victoria Wintour and your team.
