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!
00:49Mia, Japanese indigo.
01:05Miranda, call production, emergency protocol 7.
01:09Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:16Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:2028 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2527 now.
01:27Tick tock.
01:35I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:50I swear to God, you're not human.
01:5227 minutes?
01:54Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in.
01:57This will shatter every record.
02:05Vic, are you okay?
02:09Just Brax and Hicks, nothing to...
02:13Oh my God, your water broke.
02:23Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:29Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:33Dad called.
02:35I wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges
02:40since he decided that his assistance was more comfortable than ours.
02:46That's my girl.
02:47That's my girl.
02:56Well, the company's yours now, Holly.
02:58But there's a condition.
03:02We need to slash costs.
03:04Immediately.
03:06Layoffs.
03:10Absent without leave.
03:12Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:16Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Malayan disaster,
03:20they get immunity.
03:22In fact, um...
03:24They deserve a promotion.
03:29No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:34Boss, the Milan collection crisis, averted.
03:38The Milan collection crisis, averted.
03:41Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:43Ew, you saved the entire collection?
03:45Impressive.
03:47Oh, actually...
03:49How about I make you the new creative director?
03:51Starting today.
03:52Oh, my God.
03:55Is this really happening?
03:57She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:59I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:03But, Victoria...
04:09Don't worry about her.
04:10I'm not useless.
04:11Here I go.
04:11There's no fire.
04:17You know that collection I just rescued, Eb?
04:20I hid something in the design.
04:23Your initials and now little graces.
04:27Hold them right into the fabric.
04:28And that's going to give him a long runway?
04:36Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:39Enough for your full tuition of 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.
04:58Holy shit.
05:06Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company.
05:10After all these years in your shadow, Victoria,
05:13I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:15Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:40What the hell?
05:41Listen up, everyone.
05:42Victoria 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.
05:57She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
06:00Maternity leave, medical insurance.
06:02These preggos are bleeding us dry.
06:05Everything okay here?
06:09Great timing.
06:11Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:15Clear out your desk now.
06:25You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:28I saved this company three times when your father could have made payroll.
06:32Too many times.
06:33Well, that's ancient history.
06:39The board wants fresh blood.
06:41And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:48What?
06:49I'm the one who...
06:52Mia, you...
06:54Feel that curve?
06:57That's your signature.
06:59That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:05How could you?
07:07I taught you everything you know.
07:09I wish things were different, Vic.
07:20I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:23Miranda 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.
07:59But hey, that's corporate America for you.
08:03Or we can shift the math.
08:06You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:10Think of it as taking one for the team.
08:15Miranda'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, babe.
08:29You say you care about them.
08:31Prove it.
08:45Five grand.
09:07Five grand.
09:07That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:11That's what I'm worth to them.
09:26Careful.
09:27I got you.
09:28Vincent?
09:34Vincent Chevalier?
09:38Hi.
09:41High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:44So, it's true.
09:57Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Mison LeBeau's Milan collection.
10:02How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:13Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:18What are you getting at exactly?
10:20I'm talking about you and me.
10:25Partners.
10:27You're genius.
10:29My money.
10:30No corporate BS.
10:33No one holding you back.
10:39I've got a baby to think about now.
10:41And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:45Just saying.
10:52Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:54You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
11:00Got your spy here?
11:04Don't mind me.
11:05I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
11:09Triple her salary, corner office.
11:11You know, before the vultures at L.B. or Chanel's were big.
11:17Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:19Rescuing a washed-up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:23Wow, 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?
11:34The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:36Hey, if her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:43Shit, shit, shit.
11:45What are you talking about?
11:47Victoria designed all of this.
11:48Actually, those were my designs.
12:00What did you just say?
12:01The spring collection.
12:03The Cartier pieces.
12:05I designed them.
12:07Under your supervision, of course, but they came for me.
12:10Oops.
12:11Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:13I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:16Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:28So what?
12:29Sketches get passed around all the time.
12:31It doesn't prove squat.
12:33Maybe she was her little, what do they call it?
12:36Ghost designer?
12:38And the logo?
12:39The E.W. woven in Victoria's signature mark.
12:46It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:49Well, Mia, explain it.
12:50Make me shut up.
12:55It's funny.
12:56All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in her life,
13:01they all have E.W. and G.W. so many, too.
13:04Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:08Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:12It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs.
13:16Mia, is there a special E.W. and G.W. in your life, too?
13:21Well, Mia, tell them.
13:23Tell them you designed this.
13:25Tell them you saved Milan.
13:26The logo, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:34You lying little bitch!
13:37That promotion was for saving the company!
13:43Look at the logo again.
13:45It's not E.W. or G.W.
13:49It's actually two M's.
13:52M.M.
13:53For McMichael, my last name.
13:55See?
13:59One M flipped.
14:01One upright.
14:02It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:05It's mine.
14:07That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:09Oh my god, she's right.
14:12It does look more like two M's.
14:16You manipulative bitch.
14:17You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:21You learned wild me home.
14:23Maybe too low.
14:26You'll regret this.
14:29I'm not fancy.
14:31We don't have to sink to that level.
14:34Okay.
14:35Then let me drive you home, Karen.
14:37My Ferrari's outside.
14:38I got this.
14:40You shouldn't be caring anymore.
14:47Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:50Just take care of my daughter and Pauline, Mia.
14:53That's right.
14:56Get the hell out of my company.
14:59Go leech your 401k somewhere else.
15:07Pauline, Victoria.
15:08VIP invitation, as fashionally.
15:14Front row.
15:15I didn't even find it.
15:17Lightning.
15:17Every pregnant woman fired.
15:28All of us.
15:30Just like that.
15:31No severance.
15:33No warning.
15:34Nothing.
15:34But a box and a security escort.
15:42Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:46Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign and bonus might write in star.
15:51Now, about Paris fashion week.
15:54Their designs are eagerly awaited.
15:55You should have kept your legs closed.
16:09Oh my god, mom.
16:11This is insane.
16:13I can't believe we're actually here.
16:14Victoria Winter.
16:16It's a nuclear Vick.
16:17Your mom's basically a legend.
16:19You know that, right?
16:21We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Levo.
16:24Well, their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:30Wait.
16:31Maison Levo?
16:34Well, well.
16:35The queen without her crown graces us for her presence.
16:38Brave of you to show up here.
16:40What's next?
16:41Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:44Let's go.
16:45Leaving so soon.
16:46You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:49Miss mommy dearest building you in on her little career update?
16:52About getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:57Mom, is that true?
17:02Don't worry.
17:03She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:07Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
17:10Still pretending she matters.
17:11My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:19If Maison Levo was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves
17:25to crash and burn.
17:26Well, look at that.
17:27It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:30Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:34That's got to sting, huh?
17:36Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
17:39But hey, good news.
17:42There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:46If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:50That's enough.
17:54That's enough.
17:55You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:59You never belonged in this world.
18:02Look at her.
18:03A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:07That dress.
18:09It's a cheap knockoff.
18:13Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:17It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:20What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:26Remove that dress.
18:28We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:33Hey, stop it.
18:34Let go of my mom.
18:36Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:39Take your hands off her now.
18:44Winston.
18:45You're dismissed.
18:59You all right?
19:04You all right?
19:05I'm sorry.
19:06Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:09The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:11What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:15That knockoff that you're so eager to trash her for?
19:21It's Chauvin.
19:23Haute Couture.
19:24Winter collection.
19:26Not even released yet.
19:29Price tag?
19:30300,000.
19:32Wow!
19:33You gave her that.
19:35That's right.
19:36You did.
19:39I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:42Oh my god, everyone, mystery solved.
19:46Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:49Mr. Billionaire's not a white knife.
19:51He's your walking trust fund.
19:56Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:58It's just so predictably desperate.
20:01You really don't understand real talent, do you?
20:09For those of you who don't know me,
20:12I'm Vincent Chevalier,
20:14CEO of Gevin.
20:17And yes,
20:18I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:21You have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:27Your brilliance,
20:28your principles,
20:30your passion.
20:33Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:36Mom, did you know about this?
20:39Now, I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:42But in the meantime,
20:44what I will do
20:45is ensure that her incredible talent
20:48has the platform that it deserves.
20:50She won't let you down, boss.
20:55You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:58She's nothing but a has-been.
21:01The show is about to start.
21:03Your seats are waiting.
21:04Holy shit.
21:11The industry golden boy
21:12and the creative powerhouse together?
21:14Talk about a power couple.
21:16They could run the entire industry.
21:19This isn't over, bitch.
21:22Wait till you see what I've prepared you to do.
21:24So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:40Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:45Some people too.
21:51Ladies and gentlemen,
21:52before we kick off tonight's show,
21:54I have an important announcement.
21:56This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:59She's been stealing designs
22:01from my creative director for years.
22:05It's true.
22:06She took my work and passed it off as her own.
22:09I've slaved away on those designs,
22:12day and night.
22:15And Victoria had the nerve
22:17to pass them off as her own.
22:22That's just the tip of the iceberg,
22:24isn't it, Victoria?
22:25Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:29That's enough, Holly.
22:30Everyone thinks you're this creative genius,
22:35but I know what you really are.
22:36Your personal life is just as fake
22:38as the so-called talent.
22:41Did you know she slept with half the executives
22:43in the industry?
22:45That's her real design strategy.
22:47Stop it, Holly.
22:48You're embarrassing yourself.
22:50And those kids she's so proud of?
22:52Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:53How dare you!
22:59Miss Jenkins!
23:01Miss Michaels!
23:02It's a disaster in there.
23:04There's something wrong with the collection.
23:05It's the fabric.
23:07Not now.
23:12The primary fabrics are disintegrating
23:15under 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, Maison Laveau?
23:24Are you canceling the show
23:25because of your incompetence?
23:27This is completely unprofessional.
23:29I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:34This is breach of contract.
23:37It's actually fixable.
23:41Well, you can't seriously be thinking
23:43about helping with backstabbing vultures.
23:47Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:49Maison Laveau appears to be imploding
23:51underneath new leadership.
23:53Sources say the entire collection
23:54may be canceled minutes before showtime.
23:57The question on everyone's mind,
23:59is this the end for the once-prestigious fashion groups?
24:06This show doesn't happen.
24:08You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
24:11We're talking billions, Holly.
24:13Billions.
24:14What's this?
24:39Now.
24:39How?
24:41How?
24:42The fabric supplier must have sent us
24:43defective materials.
24:45I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:49You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:52If you don't,
24:53those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:56That's billions of dollars.
24:59Then you better figure something out.
25:01Because if you don't,
25:02not only are you fired,
25:03I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
25:17Miss Winter,
25:18how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
25:22Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims
25:25about your personal life?
25:26Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:29And for the record,
25:31you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:34We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:47Excuse me.
25:49Excuse me.
25:51It's okay, Pop.
25:52I'll be right.
25:53I'll be right.
25:53I'll be right.
25:59What do you want, Mia?
26:04Vic,
26:05I really need your help.
26:07Funny way to ask for a favor
26:09after that stunt you just pulled.
26:12Look,
26:13I know you're furious.
26:15I would be too.
26:16But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
26:19What about them?
26:20Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:23If we tank,
26:24they're done.
26:25Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:28Please.
26:29If you care about them keeping their jobs,
26:32just help us out here.
26:34Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:36Yes,
26:37absolutely.
26:38And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:41Please,
26:41Vic,
26:42not for me.
26:43For them.
26:44For it's weird.
26:46I would have expected them to be here in Paris,
26:48you know,
26:48for such a make-or-break show.
26:50What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:55They,
26:56they couldn't make it.
26:58Holly cut the travel budget.
26:59Is that right?
27:03Victoria,
27:04I know I don't deserve your help.
27:08They do.
27:10Fine.
27:12I'll help you.
27:13But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
27:16Not for you.
27:17Oh, my God.
27:29It's Victoria Winter.
27:31The nuclear VEC.
27:32I need scissors, thread,
27:33and fresh lining fabric.
27:35Now.
27:35I need royal fuchsia for the stitching.
27:44Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:47Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:49Vincent.
27:49I need royal fuchsia thread.
27:50I need royal fuchsia thread.
27:51I need royal fuchsia thread.
27:52I need royal fuchsia thread.
27:53Would this work?
27:59Vincent,
28:00how did you...
28:02I figured you might need some supplies,
28:05so
28:05I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
28:08This is perfect,
28:12but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors.
28:15Why would you help them?
28:18I'm not helping them.
28:21I'm helping you.
28:24I can't ask you to do this
28:25without giving me something in return.
28:27I have a design I've been saving.
28:30Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:33It's yours now.
28:35I don't want your design,
28:37Victoria.
28:38Then what do you want?
28:41You.
28:44What?
28:48Your talent.
28:50Your vision.
28:52Come and work
28:53at Joven.
28:54I'm in.
28:56I'll work for you.
28:58Just like that?
28:59Just like that.
29:00Now,
29:02let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
29:04I hate it
29:10when I got
29:11I wish I was cool
29:14like the new girl at school
29:16I regret it
29:18so I'ma get,
29:18I'ma get,
29:19I'ma get,
29:20I'ma get out
29:21I want me back
29:23She's doing it in minutes.
29:34What would have taken us hours?
29:36Whoa.
29:37No wonder they call her the nuclear vic.
29:39It's so fucked up
29:41watching her fix my disaster
29:42like it's nothing.
29:43The woman I replaced
29:45is making me look like an amateur.
29:51Five minutes till showtime.
29:53You made it.
29:54Well,
30:08do we pull the plug or not?
30:09We're good.
30:10Everything's back on track.
30:12See?
30:13I knew firing Victoria
30:15was the right call.
30:16You've got twice her talent.
30:19Yeah.
30:20Right.
30:21This is exactly why
30:22they promoted you.
30:24You need fix this
30:25is to not make them.
30:32To Victoria.
30:35The real hero of the night.
30:47Mom,
30:48you're insane.
30:49I can't believe you actually
30:50fixed that disaster
30:51in under an hour.
30:52I couldn't have done it
30:53without you.
30:56You know,
30:57if you start dating
30:58before you work together,
30:59it doesn't count
31:00as an office romance.
31:06Well, well,
31:07still hanging around.
31:09I thought you'd be too embarrassed
31:10to show your face
31:11at the after party.
31:12Fraud.
31:14Holly,
31:15why don't you ask the models
31:16what happened backstage tonight?
31:18What are you talking about?
31:19just ask the models.
31:21Any of them.
31:24Oh, and Mia.
31:26Don't forget about our agreement.
31:28About Miranda and Pauline.
31:30I think I won't.
31:31two new beginnings
31:37at Chauvin.
31:38Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:44Speaking of new beginnings,
31:46Emily's private school application
31:49is to do next month, right?
31:50I want to help
31:52with her education.
31:54What?
31:56Vincent,
31:57that's too much.
31:58We barely know each other.
32:00Victoria,
32:01I've known you
32:03since we were 17.
32:06I remember
32:07watching you win
32:09that regional competition
32:10in that silver dress,
32:12the one you made
32:13from scratch.
32:15I saw
32:16the way your eyes lit up
32:17when you talked about
32:19changing the fashion world.
32:21Do you remember that?
32:23I remember everything.
32:26I
32:27have followed your career
32:29all these years,
32:31just
32:31hoping that our paths
32:33would cross again.
32:34Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:36We were married.
32:39And then you weren't.
32:41And then you were building
32:42your career.
32:44The timing just
32:45was never right.
32:48Until now.
32:49I
32:51have been waiting
32:5920 years
33:02to get left.
33:14I
33:15should
33:16probably get this.
33:19Mia?
33:30God,
33:31I was so right
33:32about firing Victoria.
33:33That Milan disaster
33:35you turned around,
33:35absolute magic.
33:37And now I have
33:38an opportunity
33:38that could put you
33:39on the map for good.
33:41Sean Gosling
33:42needs a tuxedo
33:43for the Oscars red carpet.
33:45Sean Gosling?
33:49The 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,
33:57the next face of
33:58Maison Lebo is menswear.
33:59They're taking pitches now.
34:02If he picks yours,
34:03this changes everything.
34:05For you,
34:05for the brand.
34:07Where it is,
34:08Joven's in the running too.
34:09Lanthus,
34:11Vincent,
34:12and these poor
34:12Victoria are done.
34:17Seal the deal?
34:18I'll bump your pay
34:19by 20%.
34:20I've got this,
34:22Holly.
34:23You won't regret it.
34:31God,
34:31what am I gonna do?
34:32I can't design menswear.
34:35I barely pulled off
34:36the woman's
34:36with Victoria's help.
34:38Miranda and Felina
34:39are gone too.
34:40I'm completely
34:41on my own.
34:43If Holly bought
34:45that I saved Milan
34:46and fixed Paris
34:47when it was
34:48all Victoria,
34:49maybe I can
34:51squeeze one more
34:52miracle over it.
35:15Thanks for meeting me.
35:16I know things
35:16are complicated
35:17between us.
35:18You mentioned Miranda
35:19and Pauline
35:20and Pauline.
35:20Cut to the chase.
35:25We're pitching
35:25for Sean's Oscar text.
35:27Miranda and Pauline
35:28are also in the...
35:29Miranda's excellent
35:30with menswear.
35:30She can handle
35:31this without me.
35:31Please, wait.
35:32There's more to it.
35:34After Paris,
35:35Holly needed someone
35:36to blame for
35:36the fabric disaster.
35:38Miranda and Pauline
35:39are on the chopping block.
35:41I've been fighting
35:42for them.
35:43Am I serious?
35:44Pauline's due
35:45any day now.
35:46Trust me,
35:47I know.
35:47This project
35:48is our only shot.
35:49If we land it,
35:50I can convince
35:51Kali to keep them both.
35:53Have you worked
35:53to Sean before?
35:55No,
35:55but I've heard
35:56you have.
35:58Ages ago,
35:59I did a jacket
36:00for him for the Met Gala.
36:02Actually,
36:03I was sketching
36:03a new tuxedo concept
36:05for him right before
36:05I left Maison L'Aul.
36:06Really?
36:07What concept?
36:12Well...
36:13Perfect.
36:27She's handing
36:28everything over
36:29without even realizing.
36:31I'll use her design
36:32to save my ass
36:33and land this project.
36:34Do you still have
36:36any of the sketches
36:37somewhere?
36:39I do.
36:40Actually,
36:41I took them with me
36:42when I left Maison L'Aul.
36:45Wait.
36:48Miranda went on
36:48maternity leave
36:49last week.
36:50How exactly
36:50is she part
36:51of this project?
36:52Well,
36:53since she's
36:54the best menswear
36:55designer we have,
36:56Holly's letting her
36:57work from home.
36:58Is the company
36:59covering her
36:59health insurance?
37:00Of course,
37:03Vic.
37:04Colleen and Miranda's
37:05jobs are on the line here.
37:09You need to
37:10think about it.
37:11Take all the time
37:12you need.
37:13Mia,
37:14don't make me
37:16regret trusting you.
37:18Again.
37:18Pumpkin,
37:36I need a quick
37:37favor.
37:38Remember that
37:39tuxedo sketch
37:40I was working on
37:40before everything
37:41went sideways?
37:42The Sean Gosling
37:43one with the
37:44black section
37:44lapels?
37:45That's the one.
37:47Can you check
37:47my home office?
37:48It should be
37:49in the portfolio
37:50marked men's
37:50formal 2025.
37:52Got it.
37:54Grace is napping.
37:55The perfect timing.
37:56Thanks, sweetie.
37:57I just need to
37:58double check something
37:58about that.
38:02Shoulder.
38:04Instruction.
38:06Mom,
38:07are you okay?
38:12Miranda?
38:14Vic?
38:17Mom,
38:19Mom,
38:19what's going on?
38:22Emily,
38:22I'll call you
38:23right back.
38:25Brenda,
38:26what happened?
38:27Why the hell
38:27are you scrubbing
38:28toilets?
38:30Bills don't
38:30feed themselves.
38:32You met my
38:32husband,
38:33old child,
38:34with no paycheck,
38:35and now there's
38:36a newborn at home.
38:38Mia said you
38:38were on maternity

38:40remotely on
38:40the gossling
38:41project.
38:42What?
38:43Is that the story
38:45she's spinning now?
38:47After you left,
38:49she fired every
38:50pregnant woman
38:51in the company.
38:52No severance,
38:53no copper,
38:54nothing.
38:55Just gone.
38:56That's completely
38:57illegal.
38:59Company lawyers
39:00said that we all
39:01suddenly violated
39:02some buried
39:03performance clause.
39:04All at once.
39:06What are the odds,
39:07right?
39:08And Polly,

39:36to manipulate me,
39:38telling me
39:39her job
39:39depended on
39:40me helping her.
39:41What?
39:43That bitch!
39:46This ends now.
39:53Damn it!
39:58Miss Michael,
40:00he's just
40:01arrived from Milan.
40:02We need approval
40:02by naming for that.
40:04Can't you see
40:05I'm working
40:05on something
40:06important?
40:06I'm working
40:06on something
40:06important.
40:06I'm working

40:12What are you
40:16all looking

40:17Get back
40:17to work!
40:19Victoria
40:19would never
40:20treat us
40:20like this.
40:22I heard
40:23that.
40:24You think
40:24Victoria
40:25is so
40:25perfect?
40:27Then where
40:27is she
40:28now?
40:29Gone.

40:42is going
40:42on here?
40:44Just a

40:47under control.
40:47The Gosling page,

40:58It's not
40:58quite ready.
40:59Now.
41:05This is
41:06garbage.
41:08Absolute
41:09garbage.
41:10I just need

41:11We don't have
41:12more time.
41:12This is

41:48I still can't
42:04believe I'm
42:04using this
42:05as leverage.
42:05right on cue.
42:15Meet that
42:16sketch
42:17ASAP.
42:18Miranda and
42:19Pauline's
42:20futures depend
42:21on it.
42:22The absolute
42:23nerve of this
42:23woman.

42:27a sketch
42:28and that's
42:29when we
42:29spring

42:43You're early.
42:44Vic,
42:45I really
42:46need that
42:46sketch.
42:47I said
42:55I'd help,
42:56not hand
42:57over my
42:57design.
42:58Holly's
42:59all over
43:00me about
43:00this.
43:01If I
43:01don't have
43:01something
43:02tonight,
43:02Miranda and
43:03Pauline are
43:04toast.
43:06Still lying,
43:07Mia.
43:07You never
43:08learn.
43:09Guess it's
43:09payback time.
43:11So,
43:12do you want
43:13my help
43:13or not?
43:14I can walk
43:14you through it.
43:15Your design
43:16could be just
43:16as good.
43:17She's such
43:18a snake.
43:21Vic,
43:21my stomach
43:22is killing
43:22me.
43:23Can you run
43:24to the pharmacy
43:24and get
43:25something,
43:25please?
43:26Fine.
43:28Don't touch
43:28anything.
43:29I'm sorry.
43:41Survival of the
43:43finish.
43:43you just let her
43:56take your work?
43:57you just let her
44:10take your work?
44:12She walked out
44:13with exactly what
44:13I wanted her to
44:14have.
44:14You know,
44:18boss,
44:18we could pitch
44:19ourselves.
44:21Go after
44:21the same
44:22clients.
44:23Show them
44:23what real
44:24design looks
44:24like.
44:26We're not out
44:27yet.
44:27or there's a
44:40revolution,
44:41bro.
44:41I figure you
44:47can use
44:47all the
44:47backup
44:48you can get.
44:51You're welcome,
44:52mom.
44:53I want you
44:57and your team
44:58as your
44:59then.
45:01Full
45:02creative
45:02control.
45:04I'm Miranda.
45:05Your husband's
45:06debt
45:06handled.
45:08And every
45:09casino in the
45:09country has been
45:10told he's not
45:11welcome.
45:12Mr.
45:13Chevalier,
45:14I...
45:15I'm Pauline.
45:16Your sister
45:17is in good
45:18hands.
45:19The best
45:20heart surgeon
45:20in the country
45:21is already
45:22prepping for
45:22her next
45:23surgery.
45:24Mr.
45:25Chevalier,
45:26thank you.
45:28Don't thank
45:28me.
45:29Thank Victoria.
45:31I'm just
45:31looking out for
45:32the people she
45:32believes in.
45:35Vincent,
45:35I...
45:36I don't even
45:38know what to
45:38say.
45:39It's about
45:40time you all
45:41get what you
45:42deserve.
45:42the people
46:00and I...
46:01I don't know what to
46:01take a chance of
46:03taking a chance of
46:03having a chance of
46:04getting a chance of
46:04having fun.
46:05The...
46:05I...
47:06It's almost finished with our algebra.
47:09Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:17Remember, 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.
47:37Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.
47:40A blend of tradition and boldness.
47:43I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:53What is that bitch doing here?
47:55Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
48:03My company is thriving because of your generosity.
48:09I didn't expect to see you here.
48:11I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:15I multitask.
48:19Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:23You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
48:28The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:30And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:36Pregnant women talk, you know.
48:37Three exit please and a rival CEO.
48:40What's next?
48:41The bake sale?
48:43Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:45You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:48And what real loyalty looks like.
49:00Sean, glad you could make it.
49:05We have something very special to show you.
49:10Vic.
49:14I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:18Congratulations.
49:19Thank you, Sean.
49:20It's good to see you.
49:22Let's begin the pitches.
49:26You ready to lose?
49:27You're out of your league.
49:28You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:39First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
50:00Next, Victoria, Miranda and Pauline.
50:11Beautiful work.
50:13Both themes.
50:14We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:24After careful consideration,
50:27we're awarding the project to
50:29Maison Laveau.
50:33Oh, shit!
50:34Oh, my God.
50:36Of course.
50:37This is what you planned all along,
50:40wasn't it?
50:40Yeah.
50:40Yeah.
50:40Yeah.
50:40Yeah.
50:44What the hell did you people put me in?
50:52Are you trying to kill me?
50:54Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:57Who designed this tuxedo?
50:59Did you even read the brief?
51:01I mean, you must have read the brief.
51:06It's not complicated.
51:07It says no synthetic blends.
51:10I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
51:13Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:15A mistake?
51:17I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:20Victoria, please,
51:22tell these amateurs
51:23why you pulled your last design.
51:25I pulled my design
51:33because the only fabric left
51:35was synthetic.
51:36I'd never risk
51:37Mr. Gosling's health
51:38for a deadline.
51:39And that's why Victoria's the best.
51:42She actually pays attention.
51:43After reviewing all of the entries,
51:46the committee has reached a decision.
51:48The commission goes to
51:49Victoria, Miranda,
51:50and Paul Neen
51:51to advance.
51:52Mr. Gosling,
51:55it was just a slip-up.
51:57Mia's design
51:57was the front runner
51:58all along.
51:59That's why they picked her first.
52:05Maybe everyone should see this.
52:12Wait, Mia,
52:13did you actually steal
52:15Victoria's design?
52:19Not so near low.
52:21Even for you.
52:26Maison Laveau
52:27will be hearing
52:28from my liars.
52:30And so you know,
52:32I will be supporting
52:33Victoria's case
52:34for design theft.
52:37Maison Laveau's reputation
52:39is toast.
52:40We're suspending
52:41all collaborations.
52:42Don't even think
52:53about trying to land
52:54anywhere else.
52:56You're blacklisted.
53:02Victoria, please.
53:11Victoria, please.
53:12I'll do anything.
53:15Please just help me
53:16save the company,
53:17the brand you built
53:18for 15 years.
53:20You made your choices,
53:22Holly.
53:23Now you live with them.
53:26Why don't you
53:27go too far?
53:27Sean Gosling's look tonight
53:35is a game changer
53:36crafted by the trailblazing team
53:38at Joven.
53:39Social media is already calling it
53:41the Winter Revolution.
53:42to the best comeback
53:52in fashion history
53:53and to the women
53:54who made it happen.
53:56And to the maternity leave
53:57that actually means something.
54:02Mom,
54:03you might want to see this.
54:05happy birthday, Victoria.
54:19Happy birthday to you!
54:21Happy birthday to you!
54:21Guys, look!
54:29Maison Léveau on the brink?
54:31Scandal pushes fashion giant
54:33towards bankruptcy.
54:35Ouch!
54:36I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:38It's strange, isn't it?
54:44I gave them everything.
54:46Late nights,
54:48weekends,
54:49all the best years
54:50and they tossed us aside
54:51like we were nothing.
54:54Now it's all crashing down.
54:56I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:58Honestly, it's a weird mix.
55:01Relief?
55:02Sure, but
55:03also a little bit of grief.
55:06Look,
55:06who said that our best years
55:08are behind us?
55:09Look at this!
55:12Jeven pushes for
55:13paid leave
55:14and parental support
55:15across all industries.
55:18Victoria,
55:18this is you!
55:20You did this!
55:22Here's to a future
55:23where women don't have to choose
55:26between their families
55:26and their careers.
55:28Not just for us,
55:29but for every woman
55:30who comes after.
55:33Careful, Vincent.
55:34You almost forgot
55:35the best part.
55:36Victoria Winter.
55:49Will you marry me?
55:58Yes!
55:59A thousand times yes!
