00:00:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:00:13The system crashed mid-upload.
00:00:16Not that the collection is the wrong season.
00:00:18Wrong everything.
00:00:22The one runway is in 48 hours.
00:00:26If productions start with these batch designs,
00:00:28they're all dead.
00:00:30Not just fire, but eventually.
00:00:32Company collapses, our careers are over.
00:00:35Come out here and talk to us.
00:00:37We have 8 million tied up in this collection.
00:00:40Prepare the bastion at your boat.
00:00:42Right now, one word for me,
00:00:44you're in some poison.
00:00:45Enough.
00:01:01Vic!
00:01:02Mia, Japanese indigo.
00:01:07Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.
00:01:11Pauline, handle those ultras.
00:01:17Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
00:01:22It's 28 minutes?
00:01:23The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
00:01:2627 now.
00:01:28Tick-tock.
00:01:29I'm done.
00:01:50Crisis averted.
00:01:51I swear to God, you're not human.
00:01:5427 minutes.
00:01:56Holy shit.
00:01:57Pre-orders are flooding in.
00:01:59This will shatter every record.
00:02:07Vic, are you okay?
00:02:11Just practice and fix.
00:02:13Nothing to...
00:02:13Oh my God, your water broke.
00:02:25Mom, we're seriously in active labor
00:02:28while saving the entire company?
00:02:31Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
00:02:35Dad called.
00:02:37He wanted to know if he should come,
00:02:39but...
00:02:39I told him that he lost his visiting privileges
00:02:42since he decided that his assistance
00:02:45is more comfortable than ours.
00:02:48That's my girl.
00:02:58Well, the company's yours now, Holly.
00:03:01But there's a condition.
00:03:05We need to slash costs.
00:03:07Immediately.
00:03:07Layoffs?
00:03:13That's it without leave.
00:03:15Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
00:03:19Well, just remember,
00:03:21whoever cleaned up that Malayan disaster,
00:03:23they get immunity.
00:03:25In fact, um...
00:03:28they deserve a promotion.
00:03:32No way, this Victoria Wintour saved the company
00:03:35since she's not even there.
00:03:41Boss,
00:03:41the Milan collection crisis?
00:03:43A burden.
00:03:44Pre-orders are pouring in.
00:03:46You, you saved the entire collection?
00:03:48Impressive.
00:03:49Oh, actually,
00:03:52how about I make you the new creative director
00:03:54starting today?
00:03:57Oh, my God.
00:03:58Is this really happening?
00:04:00She's offering me Victoria's job?
00:04:03I can finally get rid of that bitch
00:04:05hanging over my head?
00:04:06But, Victoria,
00:04:12don't worry about her.
00:04:13I'm not useless.
00:04:14I'm just going to fire her.
00:04:20You know that collection I just rescued, Ab?
00:04:24I hid something in the design.
00:04:27Your initials and now little graces.
00:04:30Hold them right into the public.
00:04:32And that's going to give him a long runway?
00:04:40Plus,
00:04:41the bonus from this collection is substantial.
00:04:43Enough for your full tuition
00:04:44and private school.
00:04:46Mom,
00:04:47you ain't have to.
00:04:48We're going to that private school.
00:04:50No discussion.
00:04:52Your sister and I will manage just fine.
00:04:55This job will keep us afloat.
00:04:57I love you, Mom.
00:04:58I love you, Mom.
00:04:59Holy shit,
00:05:10Holly actually thought I was the one
00:05:12who saved the company.
00:05:14After all these years
00:05:16in your shadow, Victoria,
00:05:17I'm finally taking what I deserve.
00:05:19Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
00:05:45What the hell?
00:05:46Listen up, everyone.
00:05:48Victoria Winter is terminated.
00:05:51Affected immediately.
00:05:53You can't just do that.
00:05:55She's in the hospital having her baby.
00:05:58They're a loss against this.
00:06:00Vic worked while in labor.
00:06:02She's the creative backbone of Maison L'Aveau.
00:06:05Maternity leave, medical insurance.
00:06:08These preggos are bleeding us dry.
00:06:09Everything okay here?
00:06:16Great timing.
00:06:18Victoria Winter, you're fired.
00:06:21Clear out your desk now.
00:06:31You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
00:06:33I saved this company three times
00:06:36when your father could have made payroll.
00:06:38Three times.
00:06:41Well,
00:06:43that's ancient history.
00:06:45The board wants fresh blood.
00:06:48And Mia here just saved
00:06:49the entire Milan collection.
00:06:55What?
00:06:56I'm the one who...
00:06:59Mia, you...
00:07:01feel that curve.
00:07:04That's her signature.
00:07:06That's what makes it Maison L'Aveau.
00:07:12How could you?
00:07:14I taught you everything you know.
00:07:22I wish things were different, Vic.
00:07:24I should have thought about your career
00:07:29before getting pregnant.
00:07:36What happens to my team?
00:07:38Miranda pulled all-nighters
00:07:40for a month straight
00:07:41working on your father's
00:07:42exclusive collections.
00:07:44Things got so bad
00:07:45she had to get hair,
00:07:47implants.
00:07:48Pauline had to cancel
00:07:50her own wedding
00:07:50because of a company meeting
00:07:52at the Louvre.
00:07:53These jobs
00:07:54are their lifelines.
00:07:55Health insurance,
00:07:56paid maternity leave,
00:07:57basic human dignity.
00:07:58You can't just throw them away.
00:08:01Well, actually,
00:08:02legally speaking,
00:08:03we can.
00:08:04No mandated
00:08:05paid maternity leave,
00:08:06no real protection,
00:08:07but hey,
00:08:08that's corporate America for you.
00:08:11Or,
00:08:11we can shift the math.
00:08:14You sign,
00:08:15they stay,
00:08:17the budget works out.
00:08:18think of it as
00:08:20taking one for the team.
00:08:24Miranda's still drowning
00:08:26in her husband's debts.
00:08:28And Pauline's sister
00:08:29still needs another surgery.
00:08:31They can't lose their jobs.
00:08:37Come on, babe,
00:08:38because they care about them.
00:08:40Prove it.
00:08:40Go on, babe.
00:09:10That's my seventh package after 15 years, that's what I'm worth to them.
00:09:23Be careful, I got you.
00:09:38Vincent?
00:09:45Vincent Chevalier.
00:09:48Hi.
00:09:51High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
00:10:03So, it's true.
00:10:07Grey Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Lisanne LeBeau's Milan collection.
00:10:17How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
00:10:23Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
00:10:27What are you getting at exactly?
00:10:31I'm talking about you and me.
00:10:35Harms.
00:10:37You're genius, my money.
00:10:41No corporate BS.
00:10:43No one holding me back.
00:10:45I've got a baby to think about now.
00:10:51And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
00:10:57Just saying.
00:10:58Vincent Chevalier, wow.
00:10:59You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
00:11:09Is that your spy here?
00:11:10Don't mind me.
00:11:11I'm just giving Victoria here.
00:11:12Soft landing.
00:11:13Triple her salary, corner office.
00:11:14You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
00:11:15Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
00:11:16Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas.
00:11:20It's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
00:11:39I mean the jacket, that's Victoria's spring clothing.
00:11:44Victoria's spring collection, right?
00:11:46The earrings, it's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
00:11:49If her work is so far beneath you,
00:11:52maybe you should just...
00:11:54strip.
00:11:56Shit, shit, shit.
00:11:58What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this.
00:12:07Actually, those were my designs.
00:12:10What did you just say?
00:12:14The spring collection.
00:12:16The Cartier pieces.
00:12:18I designed them.
00:12:20Under your supervision, of course,
00:12:22but they came from me.
00:12:24Oops, looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
00:12:28I thought you were better than this, ma'am.
00:12:32Then explain my signature
00:12:34on the original sketch dated six months ago.
00:12:40So what, sketches get passed around all the time,
00:12:44it doesn't prove squat.
00:12:46Maybe she was your little...
00:12:48what do they call it?
00:12:50dress designer?
00:12:52And the logo?
00:12:54The E.W.
00:12:56Woven in.
00:12:58Victoria's signature mark.
00:13:00It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
00:13:02Mommy, explain it.
00:13:04Make her shut up.
00:13:06It's funny.
00:13:10All those pieces
00:13:12from the Milan collection that everyone's using.
00:13:14They all have E.W. and G.W. so they too.
00:13:18Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
00:13:22Her newborn is Grace Winter.
00:13:24It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Neil.
00:13:30Is there a special E.W. and G.W. in your life too?
00:13:34Well, Nia, tell them.
00:13:36Tell them you designed this.
00:13:38Tell them you saved Milan.
00:13:40The logo, it's...
00:13:42It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
00:13:48You lying little bitch!
00:13:50That promotion is by saving the company.
00:13:58Look at the logo again.
00:14:00It's not E.W. or G.W.
00:14:04It's actually two M's.
00:14:06M.M.
00:14:08For McMichael.
00:14:09My last name.
00:14:13See?
00:14:14One M flipped.
00:14:16One upright.
00:14:18It's not for Grace or Emily.
00:14:20It's mine.
00:14:22That is absolutely ridiculous.
00:14:24Oh my god, she's right.
00:14:26It does look more like two M's.
00:14:30You manipulated me and she really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
00:14:36You learned wild M.M.
00:14:40Maybe too well.
00:14:42You'll regret this.
00:14:44Not Vincent.
00:14:46We don't have to sink to their level.
00:14:48Okay.
00:14:50And I'll be driving home, okay?
00:14:52I'll have her hours outside.
00:14:54And I got this.
00:14:56You shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
00:15:02Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
00:15:04Just take care of the matter of Pauline for you.
00:15:12That's right.
00:15:13Get the hell out of my company.
00:15:14Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
00:15:16Hold on, Victoria.
00:15:26A VIP invitation.
00:15:28Paris Fashion Week.
00:15:30Front row.
00:15:31I think you'll find it.
00:15:32Lightning.
00:15:34Every pregnant woman fired.
00:15:44All of us.
00:15:46Just like that.
00:15:48No severance.
00:15:50No warning.
00:15:51Nothing.
00:15:52A box.
00:15:53And a security escort.
00:15:54Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
00:16:02For termination people would practically pay for your sign and bonus made right in Star.
00:16:08Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
00:16:10Your designs are eerily awaited.
00:16:16You should have kept your legs closed.
00:16:28Oh my god, Mom.
00:16:29This is insane.
00:16:30I can't believe we're actually here.
00:16:32Victoria Wintour.
00:16:34The Nuclear Vic.
00:16:36Your mom's basically a legend.
00:16:37You know that, right?
00:16:40We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison LΓ©veau.
00:16:43Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
00:16:49Wait.
00:16:50Maison LΓ©veau?
00:16:52Well, well.
00:16:53The Queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
00:16:56Brave of you to show up here.
00:16:58What's next?
00:16:59Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
00:17:02Let's go.
00:17:04Leaving so soon.
00:17:05You haven't introduced me to your princess.
00:17:09Mommy dearest filled you in on her little career update.
00:17:12About getting canned for not cutting it anymore.
00:17:17Mom, that's true.
00:17:18Don't worry.
00:17:19She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
00:17:27Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour.
00:17:29Still pretending she matters.
00:17:31My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
00:17:40If Maison LΓ©veau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
00:17:46That'll look bad.
00:17:47It seems entitlement runs in the family.
00:17:50Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
00:17:54That's got a sting, huh?
00:17:56Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
00:17:59Hey, good news.
00:18:00There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
00:18:05If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
00:18:09That's enough.
00:18:11That's enough.
00:18:15That's enough.
00:18:17You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
00:18:20You never belonged in this world.
00:18:22Look at her.
00:18:24A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
00:18:28That dress, it's a cheap knockoff.
00:18:34Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
00:18:37It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
00:18:43What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:18:46Remove that dress.
00:18:49We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
00:18:53Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
00:18:56And let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
00:19:00Take your hands off her now.
00:19:05Winston.
00:19:08You're dismissed.
00:19:11You alright?
00:19:12You alright?
00:19:13You alright?
00:19:14I'm full.
00:19:15Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
00:19:16The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
00:19:17What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
00:19:21You alright?
00:19:22You alright?
00:19:23You alright?
00:19:24You alright?
00:19:25I'm full.
00:19:26Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
00:19:28The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
00:19:29What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
00:19:30That knockoff?
00:19:31That knockoff?
00:19:32Are you so here to trash her for?
00:19:33It's Chevenne.
00:19:34But Vitor.
00:19:35Winter collection.
00:19:36Not even released yet.
00:19:37Price tag?
00:19:38300,000.
00:19:39Wow!
00:19:40You gave her that.
00:19:41That's right.
00:19:42You did.
00:19:43You did.
00:19:44I would give her the entire damn collection if you wanted me.
00:19:45Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
00:19:47Victoria's back herself as sugar daddy.
00:19:48Mr. Billionaire is not a white knight, he's her walking trust fund.
00:19:51I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted me.
00:19:52Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
00:20:06Victoria's back herself as sugar daddy.
00:20:10Mr. Billionaire is not a white knight, he's her walking trust fund.
00:20:13He's your walk-in trust fund.
00:20:18Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
00:20:20It's just so predictably desperate.
00:20:26You really don't understand real talent, do you?
00:20:31For those of you who don't know me,
00:20:34I'm Vincent Chevalier, CEO of Jevent.
00:20:40Yes.
00:20:41I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
00:20:46I have followed your career from a distance for years.
00:20:50Your brilliance, your principles, your passion.
00:20:56Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
00:20:59Mom, did you know about this?
00:21:02I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
00:21:06But in the meantime, what I will do
00:21:08is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
00:21:13She won't let you down, boss.
00:21:18You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
00:21:21She's nothing but a has-been.
00:21:24The show is about to start.
00:21:26Your seats are waiting.
00:21:27Holy shit.
00:21:35The industry Boldenboy and the Creative Powerhouse together?
00:21:38Talk about a power couple.
00:21:40They can run the entire industry.
00:21:43This isn't over, bitch.
00:21:45Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
00:21:47So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
00:22:04Some talents you recognize immediately.
00:22:09Some people do.
00:22:10Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show,
00:22:18I have an important announcement.
00:22:20This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
00:22:23She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
00:22:29It's true.
00:22:30She took my work and passed it off as her own.
00:22:33I slaved away on those designs, day and night.
00:22:39And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
00:22:46That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
00:22:50Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
00:22:54That's enough, Holly.
00:22:57Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
00:23:00Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
00:23:05Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
00:23:10That's her real design strategy.
00:23:12Stop it, Holly.
00:23:13You're embarrassing yourself.
00:23:15And those kids she's so proud of?
00:23:17Who knows who their real fathers are?
00:23:20How dare you?
00:23:24Listen, my kids.
00:23:26Listen, my kids.
00:23:27It's a disaster in there.
00:23:28There's something wrong with the collection.
00:23:30It's a fabric.
00:23:32Not now.
00:23:38The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
00:23:42The dresses are literally falling apart.
00:23:45We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
00:23:48Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Moval?
00:23:50Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
00:23:53This is completely unprofessional.
00:23:54I have 10 million invested in this collection.
00:23:59This is breach of contract.
00:24:03It's actually fixable.
00:24:06Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping you backstabbing vultures.
00:24:13Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
00:24:16Maison Moval appears to be inputting underneath new leadership.
00:24:18Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
00:24:23The question on everyone's mind, is this the end for one's prestigious fashion books?
00:24:32This show doesn't happen.
00:24:34You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
00:24:37We're talking billions, all.
00:24:39Billions.
00:24:40What's this?
00:25:06Now.
00:25:06How?
00:25:08The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
00:25:12I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
00:25:16You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
00:25:19If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
00:25:23That's billions of dollars.
00:25:26Then you better figure something out.
00:25:28Because if you don't, now I'm going to be fired.
00:25:31I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
00:25:44Miss Winter.
00:25:46How do you respond to the accusations over design theft?
00:25:50Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
00:25:53Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
00:25:56And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
00:26:02We're gathering evidence as we speak.
00:26:03What do you want, Mia?
00:26:29Wake up.
00:26:34I really need your help.
00:26:36Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
00:26:40Look, I know you're furious.
00:26:43I would be too.
00:26:45But think about Miranda and Philippe for a second.
00:26:48What about them?
00:26:49Their jobs are on the line with this show.
00:26:52If we tank, they're done.
00:26:54Holly will fire them without a second thought.
00:26:57Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out with you.
00:27:03Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
00:27:05Yes, absolutely, and they're counting on this being a hit.
00:27:10Please, not for me. For them. For school.
00:27:15I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.
00:27:19What exactly happened to them, Mia?
00:27:21They, they couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.
00:27:30Is that right?
00:27:32Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
00:27:39Fine.
00:27:42I'll help you.
00:27:43But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline, not for you.
00:27:51Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter. A nuclear beck.
00:28:03I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric. Now.
00:28:13I need royal fuchsia for the stitching.
00:28:15Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
00:28:17Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
00:28:21Do this work?
00:28:30Vincent, how did you...
00:28:33I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
00:28:39This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors. Why would you help them?
00:28:48I'm not helping them.
00:28:53I'm helping you.
00:28:56I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
00:28:59I have a design I've been saving.
00:29:01Something special I've never shown anyone.
00:29:04It's yours now.
00:29:06I don't want your design, Victoria.
00:29:09Then what do you want?
00:29:13You.
00:29:16What?
00:29:20You're a talent.
00:29:22You're a vision.
00:29:24Come and work.
00:29:25How's your vet?
00:29:26I'm in.
00:29:28I'll work for you.
00:29:30Just like that?
00:29:31Just like that.
00:29:33Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
00:29:36I hate it when I'm gone.
00:29:45I wish I was cool.
00:29:47Like the new girl at school.
00:29:49I regret it.
00:29:50So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get.
00:29:53I want me back.
00:29:56Don't let me change.
00:30:00I'm gonna be proud of my name.
00:30:03She's doing it in minutes.
00:30:06What would have taken us hours?
00:30:09Whoa.
00:30:10No wonder they call her the nuclear pick.
00:30:12It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
00:30:16The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
00:30:25Five minutes to show time.
00:30:26We made it.
00:30:28Well, do we pull the plug or not?
00:30:43We're good.
00:30:44Everything's back on track.
00:30:46See?
00:30:47I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
00:30:50You've got twice your talent.
00:30:52Yeah.
00:30:54Right.
00:30:55This is exactly why I promoted you.
00:30:57You need to fix this and it's not Nathan.
00:31:06To Victoria.
00:31:09The real hero of the night.
00:31:21Mom, you're insane.
00:31:23I can't believe you actually picked that disaster in under an hour.
00:31:26I couldn't have done it without you.
00:31:31You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
00:31:36Well, well, still hanging around.
00:31:43I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
00:31:47Fraud.
00:31:48Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
00:31:53What are you talking about?
00:31:55Just ask the models.
00:31:57Any of them.
00:31:59Oh, and Mia.
00:32:01Don't forget about our agreement.
00:32:03About Miranda and Pauline.
00:32:04I think I don't know.
00:32:06Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
00:32:13Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
00:32:20Speaking of new beginnings.
00:32:23Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
00:32:25I want to help with your education.
00:32:31What?
00:32:32Vincent, that's too much.
00:32:34We barely know each other.
00:32:36Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
00:32:40I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress, the one you made from scratch.
00:32:51I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
00:32:58You remember that?
00:33:00I remember everything.
00:33:01I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
00:33:11Why didn't you ever reach out?
00:33:13We were married.
00:33:16And then you were building your career.
00:33:21Timing was never right.
00:33:25Until now.
00:33:31I have been working in 20 years to the ground.
00:33:52I should probably get this.
00:34:01Mia?
00:34:08God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
00:34:11That Milan disaster you turned around?
00:34:13Absolute magic.
00:34:15And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
00:34:19Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
00:34:25Sean Gosling?
00:34:27The Sean Gosling?
00:34:28The very one, three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive.
00:34:33And if we play our cards right, the next face remains on the bulls and ends where they're taking pitches now.
00:34:40If he picks yours, this changes everything.
00:34:43For you, for the brand.
00:34:46Where it is, Joe Ben's in the running too.
00:34:49Lanthus, Vincent, and poor Victoria are done.
00:34:52Seal the deal?
00:34:57I'll bump your pay by 20%.
00:34:59I've got this, Holly.
00:35:02You won't regret it.
00:35:10God, what am I going to do?
00:35:11I can't design menswear.
00:35:14I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
00:35:17Miranda and Felina are gone too.
00:35:19I'm completely on my own.
00:35:22If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
00:35:29maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over it.
00:35:33Thanks for meeting me.
00:35:56I know things are complicated between us.
00:35:58You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
00:36:01Cut to the chase.
00:36:02We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux.
00:36:08Miranda and Pauline are also on the...
00:36:09Miranda's excellent with menswear.
00:36:11She can handle this without me.
00:36:12Please, wait.
00:36:13There's more to it.
00:36:14After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
00:36:18Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
00:36:21I've been fighting for them.
00:36:23Are you serious?
00:36:24Holly's due any day now.
00:36:26Trust me, I know.
00:36:28This project is our only shot.
00:36:30If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
00:36:33Have you worked with Sean before?
00:36:35No, but I've heard you have.
00:36:38Ages ago.
00:36:40I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
00:36:43Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept right before I left Maison.
00:36:46Oh, really?
00:36:48What concept?
00:36:53Well...
00:36:54Perfect, she's handing everything over without even realizing.
00:37:11I'll use our design to save my ass and learn this project.
00:37:16Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
00:37:20I do.
00:37:21Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
00:37:26Wait.
00:37:28Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
00:37:30How exactly is she part of this project?
00:37:33Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have,
00:37:37Holly's letting her work from home.
00:37:38Is the company covering your health insurance?
00:37:42Of course, Vic.
00:37:45Colleen and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
00:37:50You need to know God.
00:37:52Take all the time you need.
00:37:54Mia.
00:37:56Don't make me regret trusting me.
00:37:59Again.
00:38:08Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
00:38:20Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
00:38:24The Sean Gosselin one with the black item lapels?
00:38:27That's the one.
00:38:29Can you check my home office?
00:38:30It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
00:38:33Got it.
00:38:36Grace is napping.
00:38:37The perfect timing.
00:38:38Thanks, sweetie.
00:38:39I just need to double check something about that.
00:38:45Shoulder.
00:38:46Instruction.
00:38:48Mom, are you okay?
00:38:54Miranda?
00:38:56Vic?
00:38:57Mom, Mom, what's going on?
00:39:04Emily, I'll call you right back.
00:39:08Brenda, what happened?
00:39:10Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
00:39:12Those don't pay themselves.
00:39:15You made my husband all tired of your paycheck,
00:39:18and now there's a newborn at home.
00:39:20Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
00:39:25What?
00:39:25But isn't the story she's spinning now?
00:39:31After you left,
00:39:32she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
00:39:35No surveillance, no copper, and nothing.
00:39:38Just gone.
00:39:40That's completely illegal.
00:39:42Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
00:39:47All at once.
00:39:49What are the odds, right?
00:39:50And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours down here.
00:39:55And her sister medical bills keep piling up.
00:40:04And Mia knew about all this.
00:40:07Mia.
00:40:08Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
00:40:12Didn't even blink.
00:40:13Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
00:40:19She's been using you and Polly to manipulate me.
00:40:22Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
00:40:25What?
00:40:27That bitch!
00:40:28This ends now.
00:40:38Damn it!
00:40:43Miss Michael, let's just arrive from Milan.
00:40:47We need approval by name.
00:40:48Didn't you see I'm working on something important?
00:41:01What are you all looking at?
00:41:02Get back to work!
00:41:04Victoria would never turn this off.
00:41:08I heard that.
00:41:09You think Victoria is so perfect?
00:41:12Then where is she now?
00:41:14Gone.
00:41:15Now I'm in charge.
00:41:16And if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
00:41:20Well, at least you've got a key designer.
00:41:27What the hell is going on here?
00:41:29Just a creative disagreement.
00:41:32Everything's under control.
00:41:33You're gauzing bitch.
00:41:34Tell me you have something presentable.
00:41:40Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
00:41:42Show me.
00:41:42It's not quite ready for me.
00:41:45Now.
00:41:51This is garbage.
00:41:54Absolute garbage.
00:41:56I just need a little more time.
00:41:57We don't have more time.
00:41:59This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
00:42:01If she then gets this deal instead of us.
00:42:07What's that?
00:42:08It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
00:42:18I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
00:42:22Get me when you design me till morning.
00:42:24Or pack up your desk by lunch.
00:42:26I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
00:42:53Right on cue.
00:43:03Meet that sketch ASAP.
00:43:06Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
00:43:09The absolute nerve of this woman.
00:43:11She'll get her sketch.
00:43:16And that's when we spin the trap.
00:43:30You're early.
00:43:32Vic.
00:43:33I really need that sketch.
00:43:34I said I'd help.
00:43:44Not hand over my design.
00:43:46Holly's all over me about this.
00:43:49If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
00:43:52Still lying, Mia.
00:43:56You never learn.
00:43:57Guess it's payback time.
00:43:59So, do you want my help or not?
00:44:02I can walk you through it.
00:44:04Your design could be just as good.
00:44:06She's such a snake.
00:44:09Vic, my stomach is killing me.
00:44:12Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
00:44:15Fine.
00:44:16Don't touch anything.
00:44:18I'm sorry then.
00:44:45It's the Bible of the fittest.
00:44:48You just let her take your work?
00:45:02She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
00:45:07You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
00:45:11Go after the same clients.
00:45:13Show them what real design looks like.
00:45:16We're not out yet.
00:45:18Oh, there's a revolution, bro.
00:45:37I figure you can use all the backup you can get.
00:45:39You're welcome, mom.
00:45:47I want you and your team as your then.
00:45:52Full creative control.
00:45:55Oh, Miranda, your husband's debt, handled.
00:45:58And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
00:46:04Mr. Chevalier, I...
00:46:06I'm Pauline.
00:46:08Your sister is in good hands.
00:46:10The best heart surgeon in the country.
00:46:13She's already prepping for her next surgery.
00:46:16Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
00:46:18Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
00:46:19Don't thank me.
00:46:21Thank Victoria.
00:46:22I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
00:46:26Vincent, I...
00:46:27I don't even know what to say.
00:46:31It's about time.
00:46:32You all get what you deserve.
00:47:28We're here.
00:47:42And you're still here.
00:47:44Final tweaks.
00:47:45The pitch goes out tomorrow.
00:47:51You've got Grace to sleep.
00:47:56Yeah.
00:47:56And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
00:48:03Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
00:48:11Remember, smile.
00:48:13We're about to make the sleep.
00:48:17Maison Laveau sets the bar.
00:48:20We don't follow trends.
00:48:22We create them.
00:48:23Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Metcala moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
00:48:37I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
00:48:41What is that bitch doing here?
00:48:53Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
00:48:57My company is thriving because of your generosity.
00:49:02I didn't expect to see you here.
00:49:05I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
00:49:09I multitask.
00:49:13Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
00:49:18You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in letters.
00:49:23The office is so empty, it echoes.
00:49:25And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
00:49:31Pregnant women talk, you know.
00:49:33Three excellent employees and a five of CEOs.
00:49:36What's next?
00:49:36The sales?
00:49:39Laugh all you want, Holly.
00:49:41We're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
00:49:44And what real loyalty looks like.
00:49:46Sean, glad you could make it.
00:50:01We have something very special to show you.
00:50:06Pick.
00:50:10I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
00:50:14Congratulations.
00:50:15Thank you, Sean.
00:50:17It's good to see you.
00:50:19Let's begin the pitches.
00:50:22You ready for news?
00:50:24You're out of your league.
00:50:25You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
00:50:36First up, me and McMichael, Maison Laveau.
00:50:56Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:50:59Beautiful work.
00:51:11Both themes.
00:51:16We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
00:51:18After careful consideration, we're awarding Project 2.
00:51:30Maison Laveau.
00:51:31Oh my God.
00:51:34Of course.
00:51:36This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
00:51:39What the hell did you people put me in?
00:51:51Are you trying to kill me?
00:51:53Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
00:51:56Who designed this tuxedo?
00:51:57Did you even read the brief?
00:52:02I mean, you must have read the brief.
00:52:05It's not complicated.
00:52:06It says no synthetic blend.
00:52:09I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
00:52:12Perhaps Nia overlooked something.
00:52:15A mistake?
00:52:16I could have ended up in the emergency room.
00:52:19Victoria, please, tell these amateurs
00:52:23why you pulled your last design.
00:52:31I pulled my design
00:52:33because the only fabric left was synthetic.
00:52:36I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
00:52:39And that's why Victoria's the best.
00:52:41She actually pays attention.
00:52:43After reviewing all the entries,
00:52:45the committee has reached a decision.
00:52:48The commission goes to
00:52:49Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:52:51Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
00:52:57Nia's design was the front runner all along.
00:53:00That's why they picked her first.
00:53:05Maybe everyone should see this.
00:53:12Wait, Nia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
00:53:16That's a new low.
00:53:22Even for you.
00:53:27Maison Laveau
00:53:28will be hearing from my liars.
00:53:31And so you know,
00:53:32I will be supporting
00:53:34Victoria's case for design that.
00:53:38Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
00:53:40We're suspending all collaborations.
00:53:53Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
00:53:57You're blacklisted.
00:54:03Victoria, please.
00:54:04Victoria, please.
00:54:15I'll do anything.
00:54:17Please just help me save the company,
00:54:19the brand you built for 15 years.
00:54:22You made your choices, Holly.
00:54:24Now you live with them.
00:54:26Yeah.
00:54:28She finally went too far.
00:54:29Sean Gosling's look tonight
00:54:37is a dame junior
00:54:38crafted by the trailblazing team at Joben.
00:54:41Social media is already calling it
00:54:43the Winter Revolution.
00:54:52To the best comeback in fashion history
00:54:55and to the women who made it happen.
00:54:58And to the maternity leave
00:55:00that actually means something.
00:55:05Mom,
00:55:06you might want to see this.
00:55:17Happy birthday, Victoria.
00:55:22Happy birthday to you!
00:55:24Guys, look.
00:55:32Maison Laveau on the brink.
00:55:34Scandal pushes fashion giant
00:55:36towards bankruptcy.
00:55:38Ouch.
00:55:39I guess karma has a sense of humor.
00:55:42It's strange, isn't it?
00:55:48I gave them everything.
00:55:50Late nights, weekends,
00:55:52all the best years,
00:55:54and they tossed us aside
00:55:55like we were nothing.
00:55:57Now it's all crashing down.
00:55:59I thought I feel vindicated.
00:56:02Honestly, it's a weird mix.
00:56:05Relief?
00:56:05Sure, but
00:56:06also a little bit of grief.
00:56:09Look,
00:56:10who said that our best years
00:56:11are behind us?
00:56:12Look at this!
00:56:13She then pushes for paid leave
00:56:18and parental support
00:56:18across all industries.
00:56:21Victoria,
00:56:22this is you.
00:56:22you did this.
00:56:23You did this.
00:56:24Here's to a future
00:56:27where women don't have to choose
00:56:29between their families
00:56:30and their careers.
00:56:31Not just for us,
00:56:33but for every woman
00:56:34who comes after.
00:56:36Careful, Vincent.
00:56:38You almost forgot the best part.
00:56:39Victoria wins her.
00:56:55Will you marry me?
00:56:57Yes!
00:57:02A thousand times yes!
00:57:05Woo!
