00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the system crashed mid-upload, not the collection
00:16is the wrong season, wrong everything, no.
00:22The long runway is in 48 hours.
00:25If productions start with these batch designs, we're all dead.
00:29Not just fire, we're dead.
00:31Company collapses, our careers are over.
00:34Come out here and talk to us.
00:36We have 8 million tied up in this collection.
00:39I have a fashion that you're low, right now.
00:42One word for me, you're in some poison.
00:44You're in some poison.
00:45You're in some poison.
00:46You're in some poison.
00:47Enough.
00:48Vic!
00:49Yeah.
00:49Maybe.
00:50Come out here.
00:51Come out here.
00:52Oh, we're gonna do that.
00:54Here, I have a special plan.
00:55We'll be, like, ready to go.
00:56We'll be calling.
00:57Shew, shew, shew, shew.
00:58Enough.
00:59Vic!
01:00Vic!
01:01Mia, Japanese Indigo.
01:03Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.
01:04needs indigo. Miranda, call production, emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:16Tell the boss to hold all calls. I need 28 minutes. 28 minutes? The whole system takes
01:2315 to reboot. 27 now. Tick tock.
01:34I'm done. Crisis averted. I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes. Holy shit. Pre-orders
01:56are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
02:04Vic, are you okay? Just Brax and Hicks, nothing to you. Oh my god, your water broke.
02:23Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company? Multitasking is
02:29my superpower pumpkin. Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that
02:39he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance was more comfortable than
02:44ours. That's my girl.
02:56Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But there's a condition. We need to slash costs. Immediately.
03:05Layoffs. Layoffs. Absent without leave. Oh, dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:16Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity. In fact,
03:23they deserve a promotion.
03:26No way, this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:37Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:43Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:47Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director? Starting today.
03:52Oh my god, is this really happening? She's offering me Victoria's job? I can finally get rid of that
04:01bitch hanging over my head?
04:07But, Victoria- Don't worry about her. I'm not useless.
04:11Here I go, I just got fired.
04:12You know that collection I just rescued, Em? I hid something in the design. Your initials, and now little graces.
04:27Hold them right into the fabric.
04:33And that's going to be a Milan runway?
04:36Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial. Enough for your full tuition at private school.
04:42Mom, you ain't have to.
04:44You're going to that private school.
04:46No discussion.
04:48Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:51This job will keep us afloat.
04:53I love you, Mom.
05:05Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:08After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:29Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:32Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:46Effective immediately.
05:48You can't just do that.
05:50She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:52They're a loss against this.
05:54Vic worked while in labor.
05:56She's the creative backbone of Maison LΓ©vault.
06:00Maternity leave, medical insurance.
06:02These preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:05Everything okay here?
06:09Great timing.
06:12Victoria Wintour?
06:13You're fired.
06:15Clear out your desk now.
06:17You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:28I saved this company three times when your father could have made payroll.
06:32Three times.
06:35Well, that's ancient history.
06:39The board wants fresh blood.
06:41And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:44I'm the one who...
06:51Mia, you...
06:54Feel that curve?
06:57That's your signature.
06:59That's what makes it Maison LΓ©vault.
07:05How could you?
07:07I taught you everything you know.
07:09I taught you everything you know.
07:09I wish things were different, Vic.
07:20I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:23What happens to my team?
07:31Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight, working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:37Things got so bad, she had to get hair implants.
07:41Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:45These jobs are their lifelines.
07:47Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:50You can't just throw them away.
07:53Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:56No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
08:03Or, we can shift the math.
08:05You sign, they stay, the budget works out, think of it as taking one for the team.
08:16Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:19And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:22They can't lose their jobs.
08:28Come on, Vic.
08:29You say you care about them.
08:31Prove it.
08:35You have
08:38Remiable.
08:40Because we get tried to bleed from that up.
08:42Now, who are you saying?
08:44Are you saying that it's flowing through You?
08:45Can you wait?
08:46Is that your other role too?
08:48Who died all the time?
08:51These were her impart corrupted in her life?
08:55Belonged by the outra way?
08:56Well, what happened?
08:58Yes.
08:59Robi Alex?
09:01Yeah.
09:03Me little dab push theicark.
09:03Five grand.
09:08That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:11That's what I'm worth to them.
09:26Careful.
09:27I got you.
09:33Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:37Hi.
09:40High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:53So, it's true.
09:56Grey Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Miseleveau's Milan collection.
10:02How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:12Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:16What are you getting at exactly?
10:18What are you getting at exactly?
10:21I'm talking about you and me.
10:25Partners.
10:26You're genius.
10:28My money.
10:29No corporate BS.
10:32No one holding you back.
10:38I've got a baby to think about now.
10:41And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:44Just saying.
10:45Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:46You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
10:59Got your spy here?
11:00Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
11:08Triple her salary, corner office.
11:11You know, before the vultures at LB or Chanel swooping.
11:15Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:18Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:22Wow, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:29I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:33The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:36If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:43Shit, shit, shit.
11:45What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this.
11:54Actually, those were my designs.
11:59What did you just say?
12:01The spring collection.
12:03The Cartier pieces.
12:04I designed them.
12:06Under your supervision, of course, but they came for me.
12:10Oops.
12:11Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:14I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:18Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:28So what?
12:29Sketches get passed around all the time, it doesn't prove squat.
12:32Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:35Best designer?
12:37And the logo?
12:41The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
12:45It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:48Well, Mia, explain it and make her shut up.
12:50It's funny.
12:51All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing when I heard.
12:53They all have EW and GW so they're too.
12:55Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
12:56Her newborn is Grace Winter.
12:57It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
12:58Is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
13:02Well, Mia, tell them.
13:03Tell them you designed this.
13:05Tell them you saved Milan.
13:07The logo, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:10You lying little bitch.
13:11That promotion was for saving the company.
13:13The logo, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:17Look at the logo again.
13:18It's not EW.
13:19It's not EW.
13:20It's not EW.
13:21It's not EW.
13:22It's not EW.
13:23It's not EW.
13:24It's not EW.
13:25It's not EW.
13:26It's not EW.
13:27Is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
13:28Well, Mia, tell them.
13:29Tell them you designed this.
13:30Tell them you saved Milan.
13:31The logo, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:34You lying little bitch.
13:36That promotion was for saving the company.
13:43Look at the logo again.
13:45It's not EW or GW.
13:48It's actually two Ms.
13:51MM for McMichael.
13:54My last name.
13:58See?
13:59One M flipped.
14:00One upright.
14:01It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:05It's mine.
14:07That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:10Oh my god, she's right.
14:11It does look more like two Ms.
14:15You manipulative bitch.
14:17You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:21You learned well, Mia.
14:24Maybe too well.
14:26You'll regret this.
14:29Come on, Vincent.
14:31We don't have to sink to their level.
14:33Okay.
14:35Then let me drive you home, Karen.
14:36My Ferrari's outside.
14:37I got this.
14:38You shouldn't be caring anymore.
14:43Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:47Just take care of your honor and poly, Mia.
14:51That's right.
14:52Get the hell out of my company.
14:54Go leech your 401k somewhere else.
14:55Paul and Victoria.
14:56VIP invitation.
14:57Paris Fashion Week.
14:58Front row.
14:59I think you'll find it.
15:00Enlightening.
15:01Every pregnant woman fired.
15:02All of us.
15:03Just like that.
15:04Just like that.
15:05No.
15:06No.
15:07No.
15:08No.
15:09No.
15:10No.
15:11No.
15:12No.
15:13No.
15:14No.
15:15No.
15:16No.
15:17No.
15:18No.
15:19No.
15:20No.
15:21No.
15:22No.
15:23No.
15:24No.
15:25No.
15:26No.
15:27No.
15:28No.
15:29No.
15:30No.
15:31No.
15:32No.
15:33No.
15:34No.
15:35No.
15:36No.
15:37No.
15:38No.
15:39No.
15:40No.
15:41No.
15:42No.
15:43No.
15:44No.
15:45No.
15:46No.
15:47No.
15:48No.
15:49No.
15:50No.
15:51No.
15:52No.
15:53No.
15:54No.
15:55why you didn't.
15:59You should have kept your legs closed.
16:09Oh my god, Mom.
16:11This is insane.
16:13I can't believe we're actually here.
16:15Victoria Winter. It's a nuclear Vic.
16:17Your mom's basically a legend.
16:19You know that, right?
16:21We've been taking bets on where you'll land
16:23after my son Leveau.
16:25Their loss is definitely someone else's
16:27jackpot.
16:29Wait.
16:31Maison Leveau?
16:33Well, well, the Queen
16:35without her crown graces us for her presence.
16:37Brave of you to show up here.
16:39What's next? Applying for
16:41retail jobs at the mall?
16:43Let's go.
16:45Leaving so soon, you haven't introduced
16:47me to your princess.
16:49Is Mommy dearest building in
16:51on her little career update about getting
16:53canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:57Mom, is that true?
17:01Don't worry.
17:03She'll explain once she figures out how to keep
17:05paying your tuition bills.
17:07Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
17:09Still pretending she matters.
17:15My mom is one of the most talented
17:17designers in this entire room.
17:19If Miss Leveau is putting people like you
17:21in charge of the business,
17:23then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:25Well, look at that.
17:27It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:29Say whatever you want about me,
17:31but leave my daughter out of it.
17:33That's got a sting, huh?
17:35Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid
17:37who worships you like some kind of hero.
17:39Hey, good news.
17:41There's a factory down the street
17:43that's always looking for hard-working children.
17:45If paying the bills is getting tough,
17:47maybe send her over there.
17:49That's enough.
17:55That's enough.
17:57You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:59You never belonged in this world.
18:01Look at her.
18:03A jobless single mom still pretending
18:05she can afford couture.
18:07That dress...
18:09It's a cheap knockoff.
18:11Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week,
18:13it's not just pathetic.
18:15It's insulting to everyone here
18:17who actually deserves to be here.
18:23What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:25Remove that dress.
18:27We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:31Hey, stop it!
18:33Let go of my mom!
18:35Now let's see what garbage
18:37is really hiding under that dress.
18:39Take your hands off her now.
18:44Vincent...
18:50You're dismissed.
18:59You alright?
19:04You alright?
19:05I'm fine.
19:06Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:09The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:12What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:16That knockoff?
19:17That you're so eager to trash her for?
19:21It's Chauvin.
19:23Mont Couture.
19:24Winter Collection.
19:26Not even released yet.
19:28Price tag?
19:30300,000.
19:31Wow!
19:32You gave her that.
19:33That's right.
19:34You did.
19:35I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:42Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:45Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:49Mr. Billionaire's not a white knife.
19:51He's her walking trust fund.
19:53Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:57It's just so predictably desperate.
20:04You really don't understand real talent, do you?
20:08For those of you who don't know me,
20:10I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:13CEO of Gevin.
20:16And yes,
20:18I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:22I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:26Your brilliance.
20:28Your principles.
20:30Your passion.
20:32Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:35Mom?
20:36Did you know about this?
20:38Now, I'm not gonna pursue anything until she's ready.
20:42But in the meantime, what I will do
20:45is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:50She won't let you down, boss.
20:54You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:57She's nothing but a has-been.
21:00The show is about to start.
21:02Your seats are waiting.
21:03Your seats are waiting.
21:09Holy shit.
21:11The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:14Talk about a power couple.
21:16They could run the entire industry.
21:19This isn't over, bitch.
21:21Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:33So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:40Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:45Some people, too.
21:46Some people, too.
21:47Some people, too.
21:51Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:56This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:59She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
22:03It's true.
22:05She took my work and passed it off as her own.
22:08I've slaved away on those designs.
22:12Day and night.
22:14And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:17That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:18Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:20That's enough, Holly.
22:21Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:23Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:26Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:30That's her real design strategy.
22:31Stop it, Holly.
22:32You're embarrassing yourself.
22:34And those kids she's so proud of?
22:35Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:37Oh, get out of here!
22:39I'm sorry.
22:41I'm sorry.
22:42I'm sorry.
22:43I'm sorry.
22:44I'm sorry.
22:45I'm sorry.
22:46I'm sorry.
22:47I'm sorry.
22:48I'm sorry.
22:49I'm sorry.
22:50I'm sorry.
22:51I'm sorry.
22:52I'm sorry.
22:53I'm sorry.
22:54I'm sorry.
22:55I'm sorry.
22:56I'm sorry.
22:57I'm sorry.
22:58I'm sorry.
22:59I'm sorry.
23:00I'm sorry.
23:01I'm sorry.
23:02It's a disaster in there.
23:03There's something wrong with the collection.
23:05It's the fabric.
23:07Not now.
23:13The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:16The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:19We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:22Is this some kind of sick joke, Mesmova?
23:24Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
23:26This is completely unprofessional.
23:29I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:33This is breach of contract.
23:35It's actually fixable.
23:36Oh.
23:37You can't seriously be thinking about helping me backstabbing vultures.
23:42Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:44Mason's info appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:48Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
23:50The question on everyone's mind.
23:51Is this the end for the once prestigious fashion groups?
23:52This show doesn't happen.
23:53You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
23:54We're talking billions, home.
23:55Billions.
23:56Billions.
23:57Billions.

24:11We're talking billions, homie.
24:13Billions.
24:14Billions.

24:45magically make me dresses in an hour you have exactly 30 minutes to make this

25:38excuse me excuse me it's okay
25:52what do you want
26:00Vic I really need your help funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just
26:10pulled look I know you're furious I would be too but think about Miranda and Pauline for
26:18a second what about them their jobs are on the line with the show if we tank they're done
26:25Holly will fire them without a second thought please if you care about them
26:30keeping their jobs just help us out here Miranda and Pauline responsible for the show
26:36yes absolutely and they're counting on this being a hit please Vic not for me for
26:44them I would have expected them to be here in Paris you know for such a make-or-break
26:49show what exactly happened to them Mia
26:55they they couldn't make it Holly cut the travel budget is that right Toria I know I don't
27:05deserve your help they do fine I'll help but I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline not for you
27:17oh my god it's Victoria winter the nuclear Beck I need scissors thread and fresh lining fabric now I need royal fuchsia for the stitching regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric
27:24does anyone have royal fuchsia thread
27:52would this work
27:59Vincent how did you I figured you might need some supplies so I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit
28:07this is perfect but hmm
28:14Joven and Maison Lavois are competitors why would you help them
28:16I'm not helping them
28:22I'm helping you I can't ask you to do this without
28:26giving you something in return. I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never
28:31shown anyone. It's yours now. I don't want your design, Victoria. Then what do you want? You.
28:44What? Your talent. Your vision. Come and work as you're then. I'm in.
28:56I'll work for you. Just like that? Just like that. Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Labelle.
29:26I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:32She's doing it in minutes. What would have taken us hours? Whoa. No wonder they call her the nuclear
29:38Vic. It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing. The woman I replaced making me
29:45look like an amateur. Five minutes till showtime. You made it.
29:54Well? Do we pull the plug or not?
30:09We're good. Everything's back on track. See? I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
30:16You've got twice her talent. Yeah, right. This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:23You need to fix this, just not make them.
30:32To Victoria. The real hero of the night.
30:36Mom, you're insane. I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:51I couldn't have done it without you. You know, if you start dating before you work together,
30:59it doesn't count as an office romance.
31:01Well, well, still hanging around. I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the
31:11after party. Fraud. Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:18What are you talking about? Just ask the models. Any of them.
31:22Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement. About Miranda and Pauline. I think I won't.
31:36Two new beginnings at Chauvet.
31:44Speaking of new beginnings. Emily's private school application is to do next month, right?
31:50Okay. I want to help with your education.
31:55What? Vincent, that's too much. We barely know each other.
32:00Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
32:06I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress, the one you made from scratch.
32:14I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:21Do you remember that?
32:22I remember everything.
32:26I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:33Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:37You were married.
32:40And then you weren't.
32:41And then you were building your career.
32:44Timing just was never right.
32:48Until now.
32:49I have been waiting 20 years to do that.
33:02I should probably get this.
33:27Mia?
33:27God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:33That Milan disaster you turned around? Absolute magic.
33:37And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
33:41Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:45Sean Gosling?
33:48The Sean Gosling?
33:50The very one.
33:51Three-time Oscar winner.
33:53People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:55And if we play our cards right, the next face of Maison Nicole is menswear.
33:59They're taking pitches now.
34:02If he picks yours, this changes everything.
34:04For you.
34:05For the brand.
34:07Where it is, Joven's in the running too.
34:10Land this.
34:11Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:15Seal the deal.
34:18I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:21I've got this, Holly.
34:23You won't regret it.
34:31God, what am I going to do?
34:32I can't design menswear.
34:34I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:38Miranda and Felina are gone too.
34:40I'm completely on my own.
34:43If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:49maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over here.
35:03Thanks for meeting me.
35:16I know things are complicated between us.
35:18You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
35:20Cut to the chase.
35:25We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux.
35:27Miranda and Pauline are also in the...
35:29Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:30She can handle this without me.
35:31Please wait, there's more to it.
35:34After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:37Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:41I've been fighting for them.
35:43Are you serious?
35:44Pauline's due any day now.
35:46Trust me, I know.
35:47This project is our only shot.
35:49If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:53Have you worked with Sean before?
35:55No, but I've heard you have.
35:58Ages ago, I did a jacket for him for the Met Gala.
36:02Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept for him right before I left Maison L'Ouble.
36:07Really? What concept?
36:10Where do you want to go?
36:12Well...
36:27Perfect. She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:30I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:35Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:38I do. Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison L'Ouble.
36:45Wait. Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:50How exactly is she part of this project?
36:52Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:58Is the company covering her health insurance?
37:00Of course, Vic.
37:04Colleen and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
37:09You need to think about it.
37:11Take all the time you need.
37:12You need to think about it.
37:13Mia, don't make me regret trusting you.
37:18Again.
37:18Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:38Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:42The Shawn Gosselin one with the black satin lapels?
37:45That's the one.
37:46Can you check my home office?
37:48It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:51Got it.
37:53Grace is napping.
37:54It's the perfect timing.
37:56Thanks, sweetie.
37:57I just need to double check something about that.
38:02Shoulder.
38:04Instruction.
38:06Mom, are you okay?
38:12Miranda?
38:14Vic?
38:18Mom, Mom, what's going on?
38:22Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:25Brenda, what happened?
38:27Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:30Mills don't pay themselves.
38:32You met my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
38:38Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
38:42What?
38:44Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:46After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:52No severance, no cover, and nothing.
38:54Just gone.
38:56That's completely illegal.
38:59Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
39:04All at once.
39:06What are the odds, right?
39:08And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours diner.
39:13Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:15And Mia knew about all this.
39:23Mia.
39:25Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
39:28Didn't even blink.
39:30Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
39:33She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
39:38Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:41What?
39:43That bitch!
39:46This ends now.
39:53Damn it!
39:59Miss Michael, he's just arrived from Milan.
40:02We need approval by name for that.
40:04Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:16What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
40:19Victoria would never treat us like this.
40:23I heard that.
40:24You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:27Then where is she now?
40:29Gone.
40:29Now I'm in charge, and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:33Well, at least you can actually design.
40:41What the hell is going on here?
40:43Just a creative disagreement.
40:46Everything's under control.
40:47The Gosling page, tell me you have something presentable.
40:50Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:56Show me.
40:58It's not quite ready.
40:59Now.
40:59This is garbage.
41:08Absolute garbage.
41:10I just need a little more time.
41:11We don't have more time.
41:12This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:14If Shufan gets this deal instead of us.
41:21What's that?
41:27It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:30I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
41:35Get me a winner, design me tomorrow morning.
41:37Or pack up your desk by lunch.
42:00I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
42:11Right on cue.
42:16Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:18Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:22The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:24She'll get her a sketch.
42:28And that's when we spring the trap.
42:43You're early.
42:43Bec, I really need that sketch.
42:54I said I'd help.
42:56Not hand over my design.
42:58Holly's all over me about this.
43:00If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
43:06Still lying, Mia.
43:07You never learn.
43:09Guess it's payback time.
43:11So, do you want my help or not?
43:14I can walk you through it.
43:15Your design could be just as good.
43:17She's such a snake.
43:21Bec, my stomach is killing me.
43:22Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:26Fine.
43:28Don't touch anything.
43:52I'm sorry, Mia.
43:56Survival of the finish.
44:10You just let her take your work?
44:12She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
44:14You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
44:21Go after the same clients.
44:23Show them what real design looks like.
44:26We're not out yet.
44:27I heard there's a revolution room.
44:46Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:48You're welcome, mom.
44:52I want you and your team as your then.
45:01Full creative control.
45:04Miranda, your husband's debt handled.
45:07And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
45:12Mr. Chevalier, I...
45:15I'm Pauline.
45:16Your sister is in good hands.
45:19The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:21It's already prepping for her next surgery.
45:24Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
45:28Don't thank me.
45:29Thank Victoria.
45:31I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:35Vincent, I...
45:37I don't even know what to say.
45:39It's about time you all get what you deserve.
46:01See you again.
46:17Π΄ΡΡΠ³Π°
46:23See you again.
46:23We're here.
46:49And you're still here.
46:50Final tweaks, the pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:58You've got Grace to sleep.
47:03Yeah.
47:05And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
47:10Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:15Remember, smile, we're about to make history.
47:23Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:26We don't follow trends, we create them.
47:34Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.
47:39A blend of tradition and boldness.
47:42I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:46What is that bitch doing here?
47:58Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
48:02My company is thriving because of your generosity.
48:08Didn't expect to see you here.
48:10We thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:14I multitask.
48:17Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:22You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
48:27The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:30And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:34Pregnant women talk, you know.
48:36Three ex-employees and a rival CEO.
48:39What's next? A fake sale?
48:42Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:44You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:47And what real loyalty looks like.
49:00Sean, glad you could make it.
49:04We have something very special to show you.
49:10Vic.
49:14I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:17Congratulations.
49:18Thank you, Sean. It's good to see you.
49:22Let's begin the pitches.
49:25You ready to lose?
49:26You're out of your league.
49:28You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:38First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:59Next, Victoria, Miranda and Pauline.
50:11Beautiful work.
50:12Both themes.
50:13We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:24After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...
50:30Maison Laveau.
50:31Yes!
50:32Oh my God!
50:33Of course.
50:34This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:39What the hell did you people put me in? Are you trying to kill me?
50:54Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk. Who designed this tuxedo?
50:58Did you even read the brief?
51:03I mean...
51:04You must have read the brief.
51:05It's not complicated.
51:07It says no synthetic blends.
51:10I mean...
51:12It must be some kind of mistake.
51:13Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:15A mistake?
51:16I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:19Victoria.
51:21Please, tell these amateurs why you pulled your last design.
51:32I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:36I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
51:39And that's why Victoria is the best.
51:41She actually pays attention.
51:43After reviewing all of the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
51:46The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Paul Neen.
51:53Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:56Mia's design was the front runner all along.
51:59That's why they picked her first.
52:04Maybe everyone should see this.
52:12Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:16What?
52:19That's a new low.
52:21Even for you.
52:25Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:29And so you know,
52:31I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
52:37Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:40We're suspending all collaborations.
52:42Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:55You're blacklisted.
53:01Victoria, please.
53:02Victoria, please.
53:11Victoria, please.
53:13I'll do anything.
53:15Please just help me save the company, the brand you built for 15 years.
53:19You made your choices, Holly.
53:22Now you live with them.
53:26Why don't you go too far?
53:28Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:38Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
53:41To the best comeback in fashion history and to the women who made it happen.
53:55And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:58Mom.
54:02You might want to see this.
54:14Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:19Happy birthday to you!
54:20Guys, look!
54:29Maison Laveau on the brink?
54:31Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:34Ouch!
54:36I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:38It's strange, isn't it?
54:39I gave them everything.
54:45Late nights, weekends, all the best years and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:52Now it's all crashing down, I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:57Honestly, it's a weird mix.
55:00Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
55:05Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
55:08Look at this!
55:09Look at this!
55:11Joven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
55:17Victoria, this is you!
55:19You did this!
55:21Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
55:27Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
55:32Careful, Vincent. You almost forgot the best part.
55:38What?
55:39Victoria Winter.
55:40Will you marry me?
55:41Yes!
55:42A thousand times yes!
55:43Woo!
55:44Woo!
55:45Woo!
55:46Victoria Wintour, will you marry me?
55:58Yes! A thousand times yes!
56:16Best birthday ever!
56:23You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:30I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:35You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:40I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:43When word got out you left. Clients failed.
56:48The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.
56:53You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
56:58I know. I know.
57:02My father...
57:05The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:08I destroyed everything.
57:11My thoughts and costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:16I didn't mean for it to end like this.
57:18Maison Laveau isn't dead.
57:19I bought it. Last week.
57:20The brand. The archives. Even the debt. It's part of Jeven now.
57:25If you want it, why would you do that?
57:27To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:32You win, Victoria. I hope you do better than I did.
57:33I'll do it differently.
57:34Goodbye, Holly.
57:35Goodbye, Holly.
57:36I'll do it differently.
57:37Goodbye, Holly.
57:38I'll do it differently.
57:39Goodbye, Holly.
57:40Bye.
57:41Bye.
57:42Goodbye, Holly.
57:44Bye.
57:45Bye.
57:47Bye.
57:48Bye.
57:49Bye.
58:10Miss Wintour, I just, I wanted to thank you.
58:20Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
58:25I can keep working and have my baby.
58:30You changed everything.
58:34Congratulations.
58:35Wishing you and your little one every happens.
58:40Ready?
58:52Always.
59:03And now, Jovan's new collection, designed by Victoria Wintour and your team.
59:10Congratulations.
59:11Congratulations.
59:12Congratulations.
