00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the system crashed mid-upload! Half the collection is the wrong season! We're on everything!
00:15The long runway is in 48 hours! If production starts with these batch designs, we're all dead! Not just fired, we're dead!
00:27Our company collapses, our careers are over! Come out here and talk to us! We have 8 million tied up in this collection!
00:34I have a fashion that you're floating on right now! One word for me, you're in some poison!
00:54Enough!
00:55Vic!
00:58Mia, Japanese Indigo.
01:01Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.
01:05Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:12Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:1628 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot!
01:2027 now. Tick tock!
01:21I'm done! Crisis averted!
01:33I swear to god, you're not human!
01:3527 minutes!
01:36Holy shit! Pre-orders are flooding in! This will shatter every record!
01:42Vet!
01:43Vet! Are you okay?
01:44Just...
01:45Brax and Hicks, nothing to...
01:46Oh my god, your water broke!
01:47I swear to god, you're not human!
01:4827 minutes!
01:49I swear to god, you're not human!
01:5027 minutes!
01:51Me too!
01:52I swear to god, you're not human.
02:02Oh god!
02:03We've got 15 minutes!
02:04Just Frax and Hicks, nothing to-
02:10Oh my god, your water broke!
02:18Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:23Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:28Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but...
02:32I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistant's been more comfortable than ours.
02:40That's my girl.
02:51Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
02:56We need to slash costs immediately.
03:00Layoffs?
03:05Absent without leave.
03:06Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:10Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:16In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:24No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:28Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:38Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:41Oh, actually...
03:43How about I make you the new creative director?
03:45Starting today.
03:49Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:51She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:54I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
03:57But, Victoria...
03:59Don't worry about her. I'm not useless.
04:01Are I going to set up fire?
04:03You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:07I hid something in the design. Your initials and now little graces. Hold them right into the fabric.
04:23I hid...
04:27And that's going to give him a long runway?
04:29Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:33Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:35Mom, you ain't have to.
04:37You're going to that private school.
04:39No discussion.
04:41Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:43This job will keep us afloat.
04:45I love you, Mom.
04:47I love you, Mom.
04:59Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:05After all these years in your shadow, Victoria,
05:07I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:17Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:35What the hell?
05:36Listen up, everyone.
05:38Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:40Effective immediately.
05:43You can't just do that.
05:45She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:47They're a loss against this.
05:49Vic worked while in labor.
05:51She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:54Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggos are bleeding us dry.
06:00Everything okay here?
06:05Great timing.
06:06Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:10Clear out your desk now.
06:15You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:19I saved this company three times when your father could have made payroll.
06:25Many times.
06:27Well, that's ancient history.
06:33The board wants fresh blood.
06:35And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:39What?
06:40I'm the one who...
06:45Me are you.
06:47Me are you.
06:48Feel that curve?
06:49That's your signature.
06:50That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
06:51How could you?
06:52I taught you everything you know.
06:54I wish things were different, Vic.
06:55I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:04What happens to my team?
07:05Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:18Things got so bad she had to get hair implants.
07:19Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:24These jobs are their lifelines.
07:25Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:27You can't just throw them away.
07:28What happened to my team?
07:29Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:31Things got so bad she had to get hair implants.
07:34Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:39These jobs are their lifelines.
07:41Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:44You can't just throw them away.
07:47Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:50No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:57Or we can shift the math.
08:00You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:05Think of it as taking one for the team.
08:10Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:14And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:17They can't lose their jobs.
08:23Come on, babe, you say you care about them.
08:26Prove it.
08:35Five grand.
08:36That's my seventh package after 50 years.
08:37I'm trying to get married.
08:38I'm trying to get married.
08:39I start to get married.
08:41I'm gonna get married.
08:42Bye, someone.
08:43I'm sorry, Jack?
08:44I'm sorry.
08:45I'm sorry.
08:46Prove it.
08:47I'm gonna get married.
08:49I'm gonna get married.
08:50Prove it.
08:51I'm so tired.
08:52Don't get married.
08:53I'm so tired.
08:54I'm calling my daughter.
08:57I'm so tired.
08:58I'm so tired.
08:59So we're doing all the time as a new time,
09:01and I'm so tired.
09:02And I'm so tired.
09:03That's my severance package after 15 years. That's what I'm worth to them.
09:20Careful. I got you.
09:29Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:33Hi.
09:36High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:48So, it's true.
09:52Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Maison Laveau's Milan collection.
09:57How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:08Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:11Yeah. What are you getting at exactly?
10:16I'm talking about you and me.
10:20Partners.
10:22Your genius, my money.
10:25No corporate BS.
10:28No one holding you back.
10:34I've got a baby to think about now.
10:35And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:42Just saying.
10:43Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:49You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
10:54Got your spy here?
10:55Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
11:04Triple her salary, corner office.
11:07You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swooping.
11:11Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:14Rescuing a washed-up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:18Wow, that's an interesting take to have, considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:24I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:28The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:32If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:38Shit, shit, shit.
11:40What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this?
11:49Actually, those were my designs.
11:55What did you just say?
11:56The spring collection.
11:58The Cartier pieces.
12:00I designed them.
12:02Under your supervision, of course, but they came for me.
12:05Oops, looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:08I thought you were better than this man.
12:13Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:19So what, sketches get passed around all the time.
12:26It doesn't prove squat.
12:28Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:31Guest 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.
12:43Well, Mia, explain it and make her shut up.
12:50It's funny.
12:51All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in the world,
12:56they all have EW and GW so new too.
12:59Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:03Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:07It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs.
13:11Mia, is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
13:15Well, Mia, tell them, tell them you designed this.
13:19Tell them you saved Milan.
13:22The logo, it's, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:29You lying little bitch.
13:32That promotion was for saving the company.
13:34Look at the logo again.
13:40It's not EW or GW.
13:44It's actually two Ms.
13:47MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:53See, one M flipped, one upright.
13:57It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:01It's mine.
14:01It's mine.
14:02That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:06Oh my god, she's right.
14:07It does look more like two Ms.
14:11You manipulative bitch.
14:12You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:17You learned well, Mia.
14:20Maybe too well.
14:21You'll regret this.
14:25I'm not handsome.
14:26We don't have to sink to their level.
14:28Okay.
14:30Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:32My Ferrari is outside.
14:34I got this.
14:35You shouldn't be caring anymore.
14:41Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:45Just take care of my daughter and Pauline, Mia.
14:51That's right, get the hell out of my company.
14:53Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
15:02Pauline, Victoria.
15:05VIP invitation.
15:07Paris Fashion Week.
15:08Front row.
15:09I didn't even find it.
15:12Lightning.
15:12Every pregnant woman fired.
15:23All of us.
15:25Just like that.
15:26No severance.
15:28No warning.
15:28Nothing.
15:29But a box and a security escort.
15:37Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:40Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign and bonus my writing star.
15:46Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
15:49Their designs are eagerly awaited.
15:54You should have kept your legs closed.
15:55Oh my god, mom.
16:05This is insane.
16:07I can't believe we're actually here.
16:09Victoria Winter.
16:10The Nuclear Vic.
16:12Your mom's basically a legend.
16:14You know that, right?
16:16We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison-Levaux.
16:19Well, their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:25Wait, Maison-Levaux?
16:29Well, well.
16:30The queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
16:33Brave of you to show up here.
16:35What's next?
16:35Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:39Let's go.
16:39Leaving so soon?
16:41You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:43Is mommy dearest filled you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:52Mom, is that true?
16:57Don't worry.
16:58She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:02Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
17:05Still pretending she matters.
17:06My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:14If Maison-Levaux was putting people like you in charge of the business,
17:19then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:21Well, look at that.
17:22It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:25Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:28That's got a sting, huh?
17:30Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
17:34But hey, good news.
17:37There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:41If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:45That's enough.
17:49That's enough.
17:51You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:54You never belonged in this world.
17:57Look at her.
17:58A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:02That dress.
18:04It's a cheap knockoff.
18:08Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:11It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:18What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:21Remove that dress.
18:23We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:28Hey, stop it. Let go of my mom.
18:30Let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:34Take your hands off her now.
18:39Vincent.
18:40You're dismissed.
18:55You all right?
18:59You all right?
18:59I'm fine.
19:00I'm fine.
19:01Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:04The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere.
19:07What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:08That knockoff that you're so here to trash her for?
19:16It's Chauvin.
19:18Motivator.
19:19Winter collection.
19:21Not even released yet.
19:23Price tag?
19:24$300,000.
19:26$300,000.
19:27Wow!
19:28You gave her that.
19:29That's right.
19:31You did.
19:34I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:38Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:40Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy.
19:44Mr. Billionaire is not a white knight.
19:46He's your walking trust fund.
19:50Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:53It's just so predictably desperate.
19:59You really don't understand real talent, do you?
20:04For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:09CEO of Jeven.
20:12Yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:18I've followed your career from a distance for years.
20:22You're brilliant.
20:22Your talents, your principles, your passion.
20:28Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:31Mom, did you know about this?
20:35Now, I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:38But in the meantime, what I will do is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:45She won't let you down, boss.
20:50You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:53She's nothing but a has-been.
20:54The show is about to start.
20:56The show is about to start.
20:58Your seats are waiting.
21:04Holy shit.
21:05Shit.
21:05The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:09Talk about a power couple.
21:11They can run the entire industry.
21:13This isn't over, bitch.
21:15This isn't over, bitch.
21:16Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:19So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:31Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:40Some people, too.
21:46Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:51This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:54She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:57She took my work and passed it off as her own.
22:04I've slaved away on those designs day and night.
22:10And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:17That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:20Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:24That's enough, Holly.
22:27Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:31Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:36Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:40That's her real design strategy.
22:42Stop it, Holly.
22:43You're embarrassing yourself.
22:45And those kids she's so proud of?
22:47Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:48How dare you?
22:57It's a disaster in there.
22:58There's something wrong with the collection.
23:00It's the fabric.
23:02Not now.
23:08Primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:11The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:14We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:17Is this some kind of sick joke, Maisamovale?
23:19Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
23:22This is completely unprofessional.
23:24I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:29This is breach of contract.
23:30It's actually fixable.
23:36Paul, you can't seriously be thinking about helping you backstabbing vultures.
23:42Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:45Maisamovale appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:48Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
23:52The question on everyone's mind?
23:54Is this the end for the once prestigious fashion groups?
24:00This show doesn't happen.
24:03You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
24:06We're talking billions, Holly.
24:08Billions.
24:30You have to do it.
24:32Now.
24:34How?
24:35The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:40I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:43You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:46If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:50That's billions of dollars.
24:54Then you better figure something out because if you don't, not only are you fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
25:12Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
25:17Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:21Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:25And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:29We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:42Excuse me.
25:44Excuse me.
25:46It's okay, Pumpkin. I'll be right.
25:51What do you want, Mia?
25:59Vic, I really need your help.
26:02Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
26:05Look, I know you're furious. I would be too. But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
26:15What about them?
26:16Their jobs are on the line with this show. If we tank, they're done. Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:23Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out here.
26:29Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:31Yes, absolutely. And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:36Please, Vic, not for me. For them. For it's weird.
26:40I would've expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make or break show.
26:45What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:47They, they couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.
26:56Is that right?
26:58Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
27:03They do.
27:05Fine.
27:06I'll help. But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline. Not for you.
27:23Oh my God. It's Victoria Winter. The nuclear VEC.
27:27I need scissors, thread and fresh lining fabric. Now.
27:36I need royal fuchsia for this stitching. Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:42Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:47Would this work?
27:54Vincent, how did you...
27:58I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
28:06This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors. Why would you help them?
28:14I'm not helping them.
28:17I'm helping you.
28:19I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:23I have a design I've been saving.
28:25Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:28It's yours now.
28:30I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:32Then what do you want?
28:36You.
28:39What?
28:43You're a talent.
28:45You're a vision.
28:47Come and work at Joven.
28:49I'm in.
28:51I'll work for you.
28:53Just like that?
28:54Just like that.
28:56Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
28:59I hate it when I'm gone.
29:00I wish I was cool.
29:01Like the new girl at school.
29:02I regret it.
29:03So I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get out.
29:05I won't be back.
29:06Don't ever change.
29:07I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:08She's doing it in minutes.
29:16What would have taken us hours.
29:18Woah.
29:20No wonder they call her the Nuclear Vic.
29:23It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:26She's doing it in minutes! What would have taken us hours!
29:31Whoa. No wonder they call her the Nuclear Vic.
29:34It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:38The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:46Five minutes till showtime. You made it.
29:56Well? Do we pull the plug or not?
30:04We're good. Everything's back on track.
30:07See? I knew firing Victoria was the right call. You've got twice her talent.
30:13Yeah. Right.
30:16This is exactly why I promoted you. You fix this, not make them.
30:26To Victoria. The real hero of the night.
30:42Mom, you're insane. I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:47I couldn't have done it without you.
30:50You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
31:00Well, well, still hanging around.
31:03I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party. Fraud.
31:08Holly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:12What are you talking about?
31:14Just ask the models. Any of them.
31:17Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement. About Miranda and Pauline.
31:24I won't.
31:26Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:32Speaking of new beginnings. Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:44I want to help. With their education.
31:49What?
31:51Vincent, that's too much. We barely know each other.
31:54Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
31:59I remember watching you win that regional competition.
32:05And that silver dress. The one you made from scratch.
32:10I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:16Do you remember that?
32:18I remember everything.
32:20I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:28Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:29We were married.
32:30And then you weren't.
32:31And then you were building your career.
32:32Timing was never right.
32:33Until now.
32:34I have been waiting for 20 years to do that.
32:41I have been waiting for 20 years to do that.
33:06I should probably get this.
33:22Mia?
33:25God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:28That Milan disaster you turned around, absolute magic.
33:32And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
33:36Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:41Sean Gosling?
33:43The Sean Gosling?
33:45The very one.
33:46Three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:49And if we play our cards right, the next face of Maison, the Bulls menswear.
33:54They're taking pitches now.
33:56If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:59For you.
34:00For the brand.
34:01Where it is, Jovan's in the running too.
34:04Land this.
34:05Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:08Seal the deal?
34:09I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:10I've got this, Holly.
34:11You won't regret it.
34:12God, what am I gonna do?
34:14I can't design menswear.
34:15I barely pulled off the women's with Victoria's help.
34:17Miranda and Pauline are gone too.
34:19I'm completely on my own.
34:21If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria, maybe I can squeeze
34:46one more vehicle over.
34:47Maybe I can squeeze one more vehicle over.
34:53Thanks for meeting me, I know things are complicated between us.
35:13You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
35:15Cut to the chase.
35:20We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks.
35:22Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
35:24Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:25She can handle this without me.
35:26Please, wait.
35:27There's more to it.
35:28After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:32Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:35I've been fighting for them.
35:37Are you serious?
35:38Pauline's due any day now.
35:40Trust me, I know.
35:42This project is our only shot.
35:44If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:47Have you worked with Sean before?
35:49No, but I've heard you have.
35:51Ages ago, I did a jacket for him for the Met Gala.
35:56Actually, I was sketching in your tuxedo concept for him right before I left Maison Malone.
36:01Really?
36:02What concept?
36:07Well...
36:22Perfect.
36:23She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:25I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:30Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:33I do.
36:35Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
36:39Wait.
36:41Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:44How exactly is she part of this project?
36:47Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:53Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:55Of course, Vic.
36:58Colleen and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
37:01You need to leave the body.
37:05Take all the time you need.
37:07Man.
37:08Don't make me regret trusting you.
37:11Again.
37:12Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:18Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:24The Sean Gosselin one with the black hats and lapels?
37:25That's the one.
37:26Can you check my home office?
37:27It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:31Got it.
37:32Grace is napping.
37:33The perfect timing.
37:34Thanks, sweetie.
37:35I just need to double check something about that.
37:36Shoulder.
37:37Destruction.
37:38Mom, are you okay?
37:39Miranda?
37:40That's the one. Can you check my home office? It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:47Got it. Grace is napping. It's the perfect timing.
37:51Thanks, sweetie. I just need to double check something about that.
37:57Shoulder.
37:59Instruction.
38:01Mom, are you okay?
38:07Miranda?
38:08Big?
38:13Mom! Mom! What's going on?
38:16Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:20Brenda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:24Littles don't pay themselves.
38:26You had met my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
38:32Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the gossling project.
38:36What? Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:41After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:46No surveillance, no cover, nothing. Just gone.
38:51That's completely illegal.
38:52Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
38:59All at once. What are the odds, right?
39:03And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours diner.
39:08Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:10And Mia knew about all this.
39:18Mia. Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
39:23Didn't even blink.
39:25Too busy admiring her shiny new create and direct title.
39:28She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
39:33Telling me her draw depended on me helping her.
39:36What?
39:38That bitch!
39:40This ends now.
39:48Damn it!
39:54Miss Michael, he's just arrived from Milan.
39:57We need approval by name for that.
39:59Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:01What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
40:13Victoria would never treat us like this.
40:18I heard that.
40:20You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:22Then where is she now?
40:24Gone.
40:25Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:28Well at least you can actually design it.
40:36What the hell is going on here?
40:39Just a creative disagreement.
40:41Everything's under control.
40:43The Gosling page, tell me you have something presentable.
40:49Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:51Show me.
40:53It's not quite ready.
40:54Now.
40:58This is garbage.
41:02Absolute garbage.
41:04I just need a little more time.
41:06We don't have your time.
41:07This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:10If Shufan gets this deal instead of us.
41:15What's that?
41:16What's that?
41:22It's just some inspiration.
41:23I recorded for the design.
41:27I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
41:30Get me when you design me tomorrow morning.
41:33Or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:34I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:52I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
42:07Right on cue.
42:11Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:13Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:17The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:22She'll get her a sketch.
42:24And that's when we spring the trap.
42:25You're early.
42:39Thick.
42:41I really need that sketch.
42:42I said I'd help.
42:52Not hand over my design.
42:54Holly's all over me about this.
42:56If I don't have something tonight.
42:58Miranda and Pauline are toast.
43:01Still lying Mia.
43:03You never learn.
43:05Guess it's payback time.
43:07So.
43:08Do you want my help or not?
43:10I can walk you through it.
43:11I'll be just as good.
43:13She's such a snake.
43:16Thick.
43:17My stomach is killing me.
43:19Can you run to the pharmacy and get something please?
43:21Fine.
43:23But don't touch anything.
43:41I'm sorry man.
43:42Survival of the finish.
43:43I'm sorry man.
43:44Survival of the finish.
43:45I'm sorry man.
43:46Survival of the finish.
43:47You just let her take your work?
43:48She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
43:49Sorry then, survival of the fittest.
44:04You just let her take your work?
44:06She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
44:12You know boss, we could pitch ourselves.
44:15Go after the same clients.
44:17Show them what real design looks like.
44:21We're not out yet.
44:35I heard there's a revolution, bro.
44:41I figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:44You're welcome, mom.
44:51I want you and your team as your van.
44:56Full creative control.
44:59I'm Miranda.
45:00Your husband's debt handled.
45:02And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
45:07Mr. Chevalier, I...
45:10I'm Pauline.
45:11Your sister is in good hands.
45:14The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:16Is already prepping for her next surgery.
45:19Mr. Chevalier!
45:21Thank you!
45:23Don't thank me.
45:24Thank Victoria.
45:26I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:30Vincent, I...
45:32I don't even know what to say.
45:33It's about time...
45:35You all get what you deserve.
45:36It's about time...
45:37You all get what you deserve.
45:38Your wife.
45:44Your wife.
45:48We're going to do a catalog of your souls sovereign.
45:50We are trying to separate your soul from heaven,
45:54We need to be warmed for você.
45:55We need to oreAnth Mountain content today.
45:56We want to Liebe.
45:57We need to embrace diversity.
45:58We need to know what we have done.
46:00We need to serve you as good as possible.
46:02We need to spend our money coming out.
46:33You're here.
46:44And you're still here.
46:46Final tweaks.
46:47The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:52You've got Grace to sleep.
46:57Yeah.
46:59And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
47:03Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:12Remember, smile.
47:14We're about to make this week.
47:18Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:21We don't follow trends.
47:23We create them.
47:24Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:38I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:42What is that bitch doing here?
47:54Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:58My company's thriving because of your generosity.
48:03I didn't expect to see you here.
48:06I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:12I multitask.
48:14Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:17You know, Holly, your fresh-blood strategies work in wonders.
48:23The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:26And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:31Pregnant women talk, you know.
48:32Three ex-employees on a line with CEOs.
48:35What's next?
48:36A bake sale?
48:38Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:40Holly, you're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:43And what real loyalty looks like.
48:58Sean, glad you could make it.
49:00We have something very special to show you.
49:05Vic.
49:06I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:13Congratulations.
49:14Thank you, Sean.
49:15It's good to see you.
49:17Let's begin the pitches.
49:20You ready to lose?
49:22You're out of your league.
49:24You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:34First up, Mia McMichael.
49:35Maison Laveau.
49:55Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:57Beautiful work.
50:08Both themes.
50:13We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:15After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...
50:26Maison Laveau.
50:28Oh, my God.
50:30Of course.
50:32This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:35What the hell did you people put me in?
50:47Are you trying to kill me?
50:49Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:52Who designed this tuxedo?
50:54Did you even read the brief?
50:55I mean, you must have read the brief.
51:01It's not complicated.
51:02It says no synthetic blends.
51:05I mean...
51:06It must be some kind of mistake.
51:08Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:10A mistake?
51:12I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:15Victoria, please, tell these amateurs why you pulled your last aside.
51:20I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:31I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
51:34And that's why Victoria is the best.
51:37She actually pays attention.
51:38After reviewing all the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
51:43The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:46It's okay.
51:46Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:52Mia's design was the front runner all along.
51:54That's why they picked her first.
51:59Maybe everyone should see this.
52:07Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:11That's a new low.
52:16Even for you.
52:21Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:25So you know,
52:27I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
52:32Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:35We're suspending all collaborations.
52:47Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:51You're blacklisted.
52:57Victoria, please.
52:58Victoria, please.
53:09I'll do anything.
53:10Please just help me save the company,
53:12the brand you built for 15 years.
53:15You made your choices, Holly.
53:18Now you live with them.
53:20Yes.
53:21She finally went too far.
53:22Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer
53:31crafted by the trailblazing team at JoVen.
53:34Social media is already calling it
53:36the Winter Revolution.
53:45To the best comeback in fashion history
53:48and to the women who made it happen.
53:50And to the maternity leave
53:52that actually means something.
53:57Mom.
53:59You might want to see this.
54:09Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:14Happy birthday to you!
54:16Happy birthday to you!
54:20Guys, look!
54:24Maison Laveau on the brink.
54:26Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:30Ouch!
54:31I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:34It's strange, isn't it?
54:39We gave them everything.
54:41Late nights, weekends,
54:44all the best years,
54:45and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:47Now it's all crashing down.
54:50I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:53Honestly, it's a weird mix.
54:56Relief?
54:57Sure, but also a little bit of grief.
55:01Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
55:04Look at this!
55:07JoVen pushes for paid leave
55:09and parental support across all industries.
55:13Victoria, this is you!
55:15You did this!
55:17Here's to a future
55:18where women don't have to choose
55:21between their families and their careers.
55:23Not just for us,
55:24but for every woman who comes after.
55:28Careful, Vincent.
55:29I almost forgot the best part.
55:31Victoria Winterer.
55:47Will you marry me?
55:53Yes!
55:54A thousand times yes!
55:56Woo!
55:56Woo!
55:57Woo!
55:57Woo!
