02:10oh my god your water broke
02:14Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:25Multitasking is my superpower, pumpkin?
02:30Dad called.
02:31He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges
02:37since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:43That's my girl.
02:44Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
02:59We need to slash costs immediately.
03:03Layoffs.
03:04Absent without leave.
03:08Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:12Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:19In fact, they deserve a promotion.
03:23No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:31Boss, the Milan collection crisis averted.
03:38Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:40Ew, you saved the entire collection?
03:42Impressive.
03:43Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director starting today?
03:50Oh, my God.
03:51Oh, my God.
03:52Is this really happening?
03:53She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:55I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:01But Victoria...
04:02Don't worry about her.
04:03I'm not useless.
04:04I'm going to set fire.
04:05You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:17I hid something in the design.
04:19Your initials and now little graces.
04:22I'll have them right into the fabric.
04:28And that's gonna be a long runway?
04:31Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:35Enough for your full tuition at private school.
04:38Mom, you ain't have to.
04:40You're going to that private school.
04:42No discussion.
04:44Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:46This job will keep us afloat.
04:49I 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,
05:08I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:19Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:28What the hell?
05:37Listen up, everyone.
05:39Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:41Effective immediately.
05:43You can't just do that.
05:45She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:47There are laws against this.
05:49Vic worked while in labor.
05:52She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:54Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:57These preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:05Great timing.
06:06Victoria Wintour?
06:07Victoria Wintour?
06:08You're fired.
06:09Clear out your desk now.
06:21You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:23I saved this company three times when your father could have made payroll.
06:27Three times.
06:28Well, that's ancient history.
06:34The board wants fresh blood.
06:36And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:43What?
06:44I'm the one who...
06:47Mia, you...
06:51Feel that curve?
06:52That's her signature.
06:54That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
06:58How could you?
07:02I taught you everything you know.
07:11I wish things were different, Vic.
07:15I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:24What happens to my team?
07:25Miranda 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.
07:35Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:39These jobs are their lifelines.
07:42Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:45You can't just throw them away.
07:48Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:51No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection.
07:54But hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:58Or, we can shift the math.
08:01You sign.
08:03They stay.
08:04The budget works out.
08:06Think of it as...
08:08Taking one for the team.
08:11Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:14And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:18They can't lose their jobs.
08:19Come on, Vic.
08:20You say you care about them.
08:21Prove it.
08:23Come on, Vic.
08:24You say you care about them.
08:26Prove it.
08:27You stay.
08:28You stay.
08:29You stay.
08:30It's no such a good thing.
08:31You're not so much.
08:33That's what I'm saying, too.
08:34You're not too busy.
08:36You're not too busy.
08:37You're not too busy.
08:39They're not too busy.
08:47They're all too busy.
08:49You're too busy.
08:51You're too busy.
08:53They're so busy.
08:55I know that you're busy.
08:56$5,000, that's my severance package after 15 years, that's what I'm worth to them.
09:09Careful, I got you.
09:24Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:32Hi. High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:48So, it's true. Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single handedly saving
09:56Maison LeBeau's Milan collection. How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded
10:06executives anymore? Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:12What are you getting at exactly? I'm talking about you and me. Partners. Your genius, my money. No corporate BS. No one holding you back.
10:30I've got a baby to think about now. And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery. Just saying.
10:46Vincent Chevalier, wow. You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:54Got your spine here?
10:56Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing. Triple her salary, corner office. You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:10Oh, so you're dumpster diving now. Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:17Wow, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:22I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right? The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Picardier.
11:31If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip. Shit, shit, shit.
11:40What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this.
11:49Actually, those were my designs.
11:54What did you just say?
11:56The spring collection. The Cartier pieces. I designed them. Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:05Oops. Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:09I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:13Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:19So what? Skitches get past her and Mel all the time. It doesn't prove squat.
12:27Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:31Best designer?
12:33And the logo?
12:36The EW, woven in. Victoria's signature mark.
12:40It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:44Well, Mia, explain it. Make her shut up.
12:46It's funny. All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their life.
12:56They all have EW and GW somewhere, too.
12:59Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter. Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:05It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:11Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:14Hmm. Well, Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.
13:21The logo? It's...
13:24It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:28You lying little bitch!
13:31That promotion was for saving the company!
13:33Look at the logo again. It's not EW or GW. It's actually two M's.
13:46M-M for McMichael, my last name.
13:49See? One M flipped. One upright. It's not for Grace or Emily. It's mine.
14:01That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:03Oh my god, she's right. It does look more like two M's.
14:09You manipulative bitch. You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:15You learned well, Mia. Maybe too well.
14:19You'll regret this.
14:23Markinson, we don't have to sink to that level.
14:27Okay. Then let me drive you home, Carrie. My Ferrari is outside.
14:32And I got this. You shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
14:35Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:42Just take care of the matter of Polly, will you?
14:49That's right! Get the hell out of my company!
14:52Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
15:00Paul and Victoria.
15:01VIP invitation, Paris Fashion Week. Front row. I think you'll find it. Enlightening.
15:19Every pregnant woman fired. All of us. Just like that.
15:25No severance. No warning. Nothing. But a box and a security escort.
15:32Finally purged the company of those walking liabilities.
15:38Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign and bonus my writing star.
15:44Now, about Paris Fashion Week. Your designs are eagerly awaited.
15:48Should've kept your legs closed.
15:49Oh my god, mom. This is insane. I can't believe we're actually here.
15:53Victoria Wintour. The Nuclear Vic. Your mom's basically a legend. You know that, right?
15:58We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Levaux. Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:07Wait, Maison Levaux?
16:08Wait, Maison Levaux?
16:09Well, well. The queen without her crown graces us for her presence. Brave of you to show up here.
16:17What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:20Leaving so soon? You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:23Is mommy dearest to build you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:24Wait, mom, is that true?
16:25Is that true?
16:26No.
16:27No.
16:28No.
16:29No.
16:30No.
16:31No.
16:32No.
16:33No.
16:34No.
16:35No.
16:36No.
16:37No.
16:38No.
16:39No.
16:40No.
16:41No.
16:42No.
16:43No.
16:44No.
16:45No.
16:46No.
16:47No.
16:48No.
16:49No.
16:50No.
16:51No.
16:52No.
16:53No.
16:54No.
16:55No.
16:56No.
16:57No.
16:58No.
16:59No.
17:00No.
17:01No.
17:02No.
17:03No.
17:04No.
17:05No.
17:06No.
17:07No.
17:08My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:13If Ms. Oliveau was putting people like you in charge of the business,
17:17then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:19Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:23Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:27That's got to sting, huh?
17:29Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero.
17:32But hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hard-working children.
17:40If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:43That's enough.
17:48That's enough.
17:50You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.
17:55Look at her. A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:00That dress.
18:02It's a cheap knock-off.
18:06Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:09It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:16What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:19Remove that dress.
18:21We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:25Hey, stop it. Let go of my mom.
18:28Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:31Take your hands off her now.
18:36Vincent.
18:42You're dismissed.
18:51You all right?
18:56You all right?
18:57Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:01The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:04What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:08That knock-off?
19:10That you're so here to trash her for?
19:13It's Chevenne.
19:14But couture, winter collection.
19:18Not even released yet.
19:21Price tag?
19:23300,000.
19:24Wow!
19:25You gave her that.
19:27That's right.
19:28You did.
19:29I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:35Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:37Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:41Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
19:43He's her walking trust fund.
19:44Victoria's sleeping her way to the top.
19:49It's just so predictably desperate.
19:56You really don't understand real talent, do you?
19:59For those of you who don't know me,
20:03I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:05CEO of Jevenne.
20:09And yes,
20:10I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:15I've followed your career from a distance for years.
20:18Your brilliance,
20:20your principles,
20:22your passion.
20:24Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:27Mom, did you know about this?
20:30Now, I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:34But in the meantime,
20:35what I will do
20:36is ensure that her incredible talent
20:39has the platform that it deserves.
20:41She won't let you down, boss.
20:46You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:49She's nothing but a has-been.
20:52The show is about to start.
20:54Your seats are waiting.
20:57Holy shit.
21:02The industry Golden Boy and the Creative Powerhouse together?
21:05Talk about a power couple.
21:07They could run the entire industry.
21:10This isn't over, bitch.
21:12Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:14So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:30Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:35Some people, too.
21:37Ladies and gentlemen,
21:43before we kick off tonight's show,
21:44I have an important announcement.
21:46This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:49She's been stealing designs
21:51from my creative director for years.
21:53It's true.
21:56She took my work
21:57and passed it off as her own.
21:59I've slaved away
22:00on those designs
22:01day and night.
22:05And Victoria had the nerve
22:06to pass them off as her own.
22:12That's just the tip of the iceberg,
22:14isn't it, Victoria?
22:15Your entire career
22:16is based on lies and manipulation.
22:19That's enough, Holly.
22:20Everyone thinks
22:23you're this creative genius,
22:24but I know what you really are.
22:26Your personal life
22:27is just as fake
22:28as the so-called talent.
22:30Did you know she slept
22:32with half the executives
22:33in the industry?
22:35That's her real design strategy.
22:37Stop it, Holly.
22:38You're embarrassing yourself.
22:39And those kids
22:40she's so proud of?
22:41Who knows
22:42who their real fathers are?
22:45How dare you!
22:46Miss Jenkins!
22:50Miss McMichaels!
22:51It's a disaster in there.
22:53There's something wrong
22:54with the collection.
22:55It's the fabric!
22:56Not now!
23:02The primary fabrics
23:04are disintegrating
23:05under the lights!
23:06The dresses
23:07are literally falling apart!
23:09We've only got
23:1050 minutes left
23:11until showtime!
23:12Is this some kind
23:12of sick joke,
23:13Maison Mova?
23:14Are you canceling the show
23:15because of your incompetence?
23:17This is completely
23:18unprofessional!
23:19I have 10 million
23:21invested in this collection!
23:23This is breach of contract!
23:27It's actually fixable.
23:30Oh!
23:31You can't seriously be thinking
23:32about helping
23:33with backstabbing vultures!
23:36Breaking news
23:37from Paris Fashion Week!
23:39Maison Mova appears
23:40to be imploding
23:41underneath new leadership!
23:42Sources say
23:43the entire collection
23:44may be canceled
23:44minutes before showtime!
23:46The question on
23:47everyone's mind
23:48is this the end
23:49for the once-prestigious
23:50fashion books?
23:55This show doesn't happen.
23:57You're personally liable
23:58for the breach penalties.
24:00We're talking
24:00billions, Holly.
24:02Billions.
24:03Billions.
24:03What's this?
24:28Now!
24:28How?
24:30The fabric supplier
24:31must have sent us
24:32defective materials!
24:34I can't magically
24:35make new dresses
24:36in an hour!
24:37You have exactly
24:3930 minutes
24:39to make this work.
24:41If you don't,
24:42those breach penalties
24:43are coming out
24:44of your pocket!
24:45That's billions
24:47of dollars!
24:48Then you better
24:48figure something out!
24:50Because if you don't,
24:51not only are you fired,
24:53I'll make sure
24:53you never work
24:54in fashion again!
25:06Miss Winter,
25:07how do you respond
25:08of accusations
25:09over design theft?
25:11Is there any truth
25:12to Holly Jenkins'
25:13claims about
25:13your personal life?
25:15Please respect
25:16Miss Winter's privacy.
25:18And for the record,
25:20you'll all soon see
25:20who the real thief is.
25:21We're gathering evidence
25:23as we speak.
25:35Excuse me.
25:38Excuse me.
25:39It's okay, punk.
25:41I'll be right back.
25:47What do you want, Mia?
25:51Vic, I really need
25:55your help.
25:56Funny way to ask
25:57for a favor after
25:58that stunt you just pulled.
26:00Look, I know
26:02you're furious.
26:03I would be too.
26:05But think about
26:06Miranda and Pauline
26:06for a second.
26:08What about them?
26:09Their jobs are on
26:10the line with this show.
26:12If we tank,
26:13they're done.
26:13Holly will fire them
26:14without a second thought.
26:16Please, if you care
26:18about them keeping
26:19their jobs,
26:20just put this out of here.
26:22Miranda and Pauline
26:23are responsible
26:24for this show.
26:25Yes, absolutely.
26:26And they're counting
26:27on this being a hit.
26:29Please, Vic.
26:30Not for me.
26:32For them.
26:33It's weird.
26:34I would have expected
26:35them to be here
26:36in Paris, you know,
26:37for such a make-or-break show.
26:38What exactly happened
26:40to them, Mia?
26:44They, they couldn't make it.
26:46Holly cut the travel budget.
26:48Is that right?
26:51Toria,
26:52I know I don't
26:54deserve your help.
26:56They do.
26:58Fine.
27:00I'll help you.
27:02But I'm doing this
27:03for Miranda and Pauline.
27:04Not for you.
27:05Oh, my God.
27:18It's Victoria Winter.
27:19A nuclear beck.
27:21I need scissors, thread,
27:22and fresh lining fabric.
27:23Now.
27:30I need royal fuchsia
27:32for the stitching.
27:33Regular fuchsia
27:34won't work
27:34for this fabric.
27:35Does anyone
27:36have royal fuchsia thread?
27:41Would this work?
27:48Vincent,
27:49how did you...
27:50I figured you might
27:52need some supplies,
27:53so I had my assistant
27:55bring over Joven's
27:56emergency kit.
27:59This is perfect,
28:01but Joven and Maison Lavo
28:03are competitors.
28:04Why would you help them?
28:07I'm not helping them.
28:10I'm helping you.
28:12I can't ask you to do this
28:14without giving you
28:14something in return.
28:16I have a design
28:17I've been saving.
28:17something special
28:19I've never shown anyone.
28:21It's yours now.
28:23I don't want your design,
28:25Victoria.
28:26Then what do you want?
28:29You.
28:32What?
28:36Your talent.
28:38Your vision.
28:40Come and work
28:41as Joven.

29:28watching her fix my disaster
29:30like it's nothing
29:31The woman I replaced

29:37Five minutes till showtime
29:41we made it
29:43well do we pull the plug or not we're good everything's back on track see I
30:01knew firing Victoria was the right call you've got twice her talent yeah this is
30:09exactly why I promoted you to Victoria the real hero of the night
30:26well you're insane I can't believe you actually fix that disaster in under an hour couldn't have done
30:41it without you you know if you start dating before you work together it doesn't count as an office
30:48romance well well still hanging around I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the
30:59after party fraud Pauline why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight

31:47Victoria I've known you since we were 17
31:51I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress the one you made from scratch
32:02I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world
32:09you remember that
32:10I remember everything
32:12I have followed your career all these years just hoping that our paths would cross again
32:21why didn't you ever reach out
32:23we were married
32:25and then you weren't
32:28and then you were building your career
32:31timing was
32:33was never right
32:34until now
32:37I have been waiting
32:4720 years to do this
32:50I should probably get this

38:41that's completely illegal
38:44company lawyers said
38:46that we all suddenly
38:47violated some buried
38:48performance clause
38:49all at once
38:51what are the odds right?

39:22to manipulate me
39:23telling me her job
39:25depended on me helping her
39:26what?
39:27that bitch

40:09you think Victoria is so perfect?
40:13then where is she now?
40:14gone
40:15now I'm in charge
40:16and if anyone has a problem with that
40:18there's the door
40:19well at least you can actually design it
40:22what the hell is going on here?
40:29just a great disagreement
40:31everything's in control
40:33the Gosling page

40:36of course I'm just finalizing some details
40:42show me
40:43it's not quite ready
40:45now
40:45this is garbage
40:52absolute garbage
40:55I just need a little more time
40:57we don't have more time
40:58this is Sean Gosling we're talking about
41:00if your fan gets this deal instead of us
41:03what's that?
41:13it's just some inspiration
41:14I recorded for the design
41:16I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil
41:20get me when you design me tomorrow morning
41:23or pack up your desk by lunch
41:25I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage
41:51right on cue
41:58meet that sketch ASAP
42:03Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it
42:07the absolute nerve of this woman
42:09she'll get her a sketch
42:13and that's when we spring the trap
42:15you're early
42:29Vic
42:30I really need that sketch
42:32I said I'd help
42:41not hand over my design
42:43Holly's all over me about this
42:46if I don't have something tonight
42:47Miranda and Pauline are toast
42:50still lying Mia
42:52you never learn
42:54guess it's payback time
42:56so
42:57do you want my help or not?
42:59I can walk you through it
43:00your design could be just as good
43:02she's such a snake
43:04Vic
43:07my stomach is killing me
43:08can you run to the pharmacy
43:09and get something please?
43:11fine
43:12but don't touch anything
43:14sorry Vic
43:41survival of the fittest
43:43you just let her take your work
43:57she walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have
44:00you know boss
44:04we could pitch ourselves
44:06go after the same clients
44:08show them what real design looks like
44:11we're not out yet
44:13or there's a revolution room
44:27figure you can use all the backup you can get
44:35you're welcome mom
44:39I want you
44:43and your team
44:44as your van
44:46full creative control
44:49I'm Miranda
44:51your husband's debt
44:52handled
44:53and every casino in the country
44:56has been told he's not welcome
44:57Mr. Chevalier
44:59Mr. Chevalier I
45:00I'm Pauline
45:02your sister is in good hands
45:04the best heart surgeon in the country
45:07is already prepping for her next surgery
45:09Mr. Chevalier
45:11thank you
45:13don't thank me
45:14thank Victoria
45:16I'm just looking out for the people she believes in
45:19Vincent
45:21I
45:21I don't even know what to say
45:24it's about time
45:26you all get what you deserve
45:28it's about time you all get what you deserve
46:24And you're still here.
46:38Final tweaks.
46:39The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:44You've got Grace to sleep.
46:49Yeah.
46:51And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:54And maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:06We're about to make history.
47:10Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:13We don't follow trends.
47:15We create them.
47:16Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:30I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:33What is that bitch doing here?
47:46Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:50My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:55I didn't expect to see you here.
47:58I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:06Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:10You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
48:15The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:17And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:23Pregnant women talk, you know.
48:25Three X employees and a rival CEO.
48:27What's next?
48:28A bake sale?
48:30Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:32You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:35And what real loyalty looks like.
48:37Sean, I'm glad you could make it.
48:53We have something very special to show you.
48:58Vic.
49:02I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:06Congratulations.
49:06Thank you, Sean.
49:08It's good to see you.
49:10Let's begin the pitches.
49:13You ready to lose?
49:15You're out of your league.
49:17You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:28First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:48Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:51Beautiful work.
50:02Both themes.
50:03We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:08After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...
50:20Maison Laveau.
50:21Yes!
50:22Oh my god.
50:23Of course.
50:24This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:28What the hell did you people put me in?
50:42Are you trying to kill me?
50:43Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:47Who designed this tuxedo?
50:48Did you even read the brief?
50:50I mean, you must have read the brief.
50:55It's not complicated.
50:56It says no synthetic blends.
51:00I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
51:03Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:05A mistake?
51:06I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:09Victoria, please, tell these amateurs
51:13but you pulled your last design.
51:23I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:27I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
51:30And that's why Victoria is the best.
51:33She actually pays attention.
51:35After reviewing all of the entries,
51:37the committee has reached a decision.
51:39The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline, which are them.
51:45Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:48Mia's design was the front-runner all along.
51:50That's why they picked her first.
51:56Maybe everyone should see this.
52:03Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:09That's a new low, even for you.
52:19Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:23So you know, I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
52:30Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:33We're suspending all collaborations.
52:39We're suspending all the time.
52:45Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:48You're blacklisted.
52:54Victoria, please.
53:06Victoria, please.
53:09I'll do anything.
53:10Please just help me save the company, the brand you built for 15 years.
53:15You made your choices, Holly.
53:17Now you live with them.
53:21Why did we win too far?
53:28Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:32Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
53:34To the best comeback in fashion history and to the women who made it happen.
53:38And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:39Mom.
53:40You might want to see this.
53:44Mom.
53:45You might want to see this.
53:46Mom.
53:47You might want to see this.
53:50Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:51Happy birthday to you.
53:52Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:53Happy birthday to you.
53:54Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:55Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:56Happy birthday to you.
53:57Guys.
53:58Look.
53:59Guys.
54:00Look.
54:02Valerie actually gotaları to the little
54:04mish.
54:05The big two, the big two, the big three and three.
54:06Yes.
54:07The big three.
54:08We are standing in the same place.
54:09The big three.
54:10It's the middle of the stage.
54:11It's the middle of the stage, it's all right.
54:12And that's all right.
54:13That's all right.
54:14The big one is going to be able to get a shoe in theland room.
54:15And then the little, the big one is going to walk away.
54:16Luckily, it's going to take the place and there's a shape.
54:17It's like a little bit, walk away from your feet and a little bit.
54:18I see.
54:19I have to go into the middle of a tree, the little bit.
54:20I look at a little bit.
54:21It's like a little bit.
54:22What if you want to do?
54:24Guys, look! Maison Laveau on the brink? Scandal pushes fashion giant towards
54:33bankruptcy. Ouch! I guess karma has a sense of humor. It's strange, isn't it?
54:46I gave them everything. Late nights, weekends, all the best years and they
54:53tossed us aside like we were nothing. Now it's all crashing down. I thought I'd feel
54:58vindicated. Honestly, it's a weird mix. Relief? Sure, but also a little bit of grief.
55:07Look, who said that our best years are behind us? Look at this!
55:14Jeven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries. Victoria, this is you!
55:21You did this! Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their
55:28careers. Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after. Careful, Vincent. You almost forgot the
55:36best part. Victoria Winter. Will you marry me?
55:54Yes! A thousand times, yes!
56:07Yes! Woooo!
56:27Best birthday ever!
56:29You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this. I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:52When word got out you left. Clients failed. The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.
57:02You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
57:06I know. I know. My father. The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:27I destroyed everything. My thoughts slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:37I didn't mean for it to end like this.
57:40Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it. Last week. The brand, the archives, even the debt. It's part of Jeven now.
57:52You bought it? Why would you do that?
57:55To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
58:03You win, Victoria. I hope you do better than I did.
58:09I'll do it differently. Goodbye, Holly.
58:22Miss Winter, I just... I wanted to thank you.
58:39Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
58:44I can keep working and have my baby.
58:47Miss Winter, you changed everything. Congratulations. Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
59:05Ready?
59:10Always.
59:10And now, Jovan's new collection.
