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!
00:49Give me a picture.
00:50Come out.
00:54Enough.
00:57Vic!
00:57Mia, Japanese Indigo.
00:58Miranda, call production Emergency Protocol 7.
01:01Pauline, handle those vultures.
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 you.
02:15Oh my God, your water broke.
02:23Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:29Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin.
02:30Dad called.
02:35He 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.
02:47Well, 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.
03:13Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:15Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:23In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:29No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:37Boss, the Milan collection crisis averted.
03:41Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:43Ew, you saved the entire collection.
03:45Impressive.
03:47Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director starting today?
03:54Oh my God, is this really happening?
03:57She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:59I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:07But Victoria...
04:08Victoria...
04:09Don't worry about her.
04:10I'm not useless.
04:11I'm going to set up fire.
04:17You know that collection I just rescued, Eb?
04:19I 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.
04:52I love you, Mom.
05:05Holy shit, Holly 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.
05:15I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:22Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:40What the hell?
05:41Listen up, everyone.
05:43Victoria 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 preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:05Everything okay here?
06:10Great timing.
06:12Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:15Clear out your desk now.
06:22You'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.
06:35Well, that's ancient history.
06:39The board wants fresh blood.
06:41And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:44I'm the one who...
06:50I'm the one who...
06:51I'm the one who...
06:53Mia, 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.
07:28What happens to my team?
07:31Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:36Things 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.
08:02Or we can shift the math.
08:06You sign, they stay, the budget works out, think of it as taking one for the team.
08:16Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:19And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:22They can't lose their jobs.
08:28Come on, Vic.
08:29You say you care about them.
08:31Prove it.
08:32Prove it.
08:36Prove it.
08:39Prove it.
08:44Hi.
08:56Happy birthday.
08:57Five grand.
09:08That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:11That's what I'm worth to them.
09:26Careful.
09:27I got you.
09:34Vincent?
09:35Vincent Chevalier?
09:37Hi.
09:41High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:53So, it's true.
09:57Grey 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 single-minded executives anymore?
10:12Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:16What are you getting at exactly?
10:18I'm talking about you and me.
10:22Partners.
10:24Partners.
10:26You're genius.
10:28My money.
10:30No corporate BS.
10:32No one holding you back.
10:38I've got a baby to think about now.
10:40And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:44Just saying.
10:45Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:46You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:58Got your spy here?
11:00Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
11:08Triple her salary, corner office.
11:11You know, before the vultures at Elby or Chanel's were big.
11:15Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:18Rescuing a washed-up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:22Wow, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:29I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:33The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:36If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:43Shit, shit, shit.
11:45What are you talking about?
11:46Victoria designed all of this?
11:52Actually, those were my designs.
11:59What did you just say?
12:01The spring collection.
12:02The Cartier pieces.
12:04I designed them.
12:06Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:10Oops.
12:11Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:14I thought you were better than this man.
12:18Then explain my signature.
12:20On the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:28So what?
12:29Sketches get passed around all the time.
12:30It doesn't prove squat.
12:32Maybe she was her little...
12:34What do they call it?
12:35The dress designer?
12:38And the logo?
12:39The EW woven in Victoria's signature mark.
12:45It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:48Well, Mia, explain it and make her shut up.
12:55It's funny.
12:56All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in the world.
13:01They all have EW and GW so near, too.
13:05Victoria'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, Mia.
13:16Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:21Well, Mia, tell them.
13:23Tell them you designed this.
13:24Tell them you saved Milan.
13:27The logo, it's...
13:30It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:33You lying little bitch!
13:36That promotion was for saving the company!
13:43Look at the logo again.
13:45It's not EW or GW.
13:49It's actually two Ms.
13:52MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:58See?
13:59One M flipped, one upright.
14:01You look right.
14:02It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:05It's mine.
14:07That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:10Oh my god, she's right.
14:11It does look more like two Ms.
14:16You're manipulative bitch.
14:17You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:21You learned wow, Mia.
14:24Maybe too well.
14:26You'll regret this.
14:27No.
14:29No.
14:31We don't have to sink to their level.
14:33Okay.
14:35Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:37My Ferrari's outside.
14:39I got this.
14:40You shouldn't be caring anymore.
14:46Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:48Just take care of your honor and poly, Mia.
14:55That's right.
14:56Get the hell out of my company.
14:58Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
15:00Paul and Victoria.
15:10VIP invitation.
15:12Paris Fashion Week.
15:14Front row.
15:15I think you'll find it.
15:17Lightning.
15:18Every pregnant woman fired.
15:28All of us.
15:30Just like that.
15:32No severance.
15:33No warning.
15:34Nothing.
15:35But a box and a security escort.
15:37Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:45Their termination people weren't practically paid for your sign and bonus my writing and star.
15:51Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
15:54Their designs are eagerly awaited.
15:58You should have kept your legs closed.
16:00Oh my god, mom.
16:01This is insane.
16:02I can't believe we're actually here.
16:03Victoria Winter.
16:04The Nuclear Vic.
16:05Your mom's basically a legend.
16:06You know that, right?
16:08We've been taking bets on where you'll land after my son Leveau.
16:11Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:14Wait, Ms. Leveau?
16:16Well, well.
16:17The queen without her crown graces us for her presence.
16:20Brave of you to show up here.
16:21What's next?
16:22Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:23I don't know.
16:24I can't believe we're actually here.
16:25Victoria Winter.
16:26It's a nuclear big.
16:27Your mom's basically a legend.
16:28You know that, right?
16:29We've been taking bets on where you'll land after my son Leveau.
16:33Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:36Wait, Ms. Leveau?
16:37Well, well.
16:38The queen without her crown graces us for her presence.
16:39Brave of you to show up here.
16:40What's next?
16:41Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:42Let's go.
16:43Leaving so soon.
16:44You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:45Does mommy dearest build you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting
16:49it anymore?
16:50Mom, is that true?
16:51Don't worry.
16:52She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:07Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
17:09Still pretending she matters.
17:11My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:18If Ms. Leveau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves
17:24to crash and burn.
17:25Well, look at that.
17:26It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:29Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:33That's got a sting, huh?
17:35Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
17:39Hey, good news.
17:40There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:45If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:49That's enough.
17:50That's enough.
17:51You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:56You never belonged in this world.
17:57Look at her.
17:58A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:03That dress?
18:04It's a cheap knockoff.
18:05Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week?
18:06It's not just pathetic.
18:07It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:10What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:11Remove that dress.
18:12We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:17Hey, stop it.
18:18Let go of my mom.
18:19Let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:22Take your hands off.
18:23I'm sorry.
18:24I'm sorry.
18:25I'm sorry.
18:26I'm sorry.
18:27I'm sorry.
18:28I'm sorry.
18:29I'm sorry.
18:30I'm sorry.
18:31I'm sorry.
18:32I'm sorry.
18:33I'm sorry.
18:34I'm sorry.
18:35I'm sorry.
18:36I'm sorry.
18:37I'm sorry.
18:38I'm sorry.
18:39Take your hands off her now.
18:44Vincent.
18:50You're dismissed.
18:59You alright?
19:04You alright?
19:05I'm fine.
19:06Jesus Christ.
19:07That's Vincent Chevalier.
19:09The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:12What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:16That knockoff?
19:17That you're so eager to trash her for?
19:21It's Chauvin.
19:23Mont Couture.
19:24Winter Collection.
19:26Not even released yet.
19:28Price tag?
19:30300,000.
19:31Wow.
19:32You gave her that.
19:34That's right.
19:35You did.
19:36I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:42Oh my god.
19:43Oh my god.
19:44Everyone mystery solved.
19:45Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:49Mr. Billionaire's not a white knife.
19:51He's your walking trust fund.
19:55Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:58It's just so predictably desperate.
20:01You really don't understand real talent.
20:06Do you?
20:08For those of you who don't know me.
20:11I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:13CEO of Gevin.
20:15Yes.
20:18I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:23I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:26Your 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?
20:39I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:42But in the meantime, what I will do
20:46is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:50She won't let you down, boss.
20:55You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:57She's nothing but a has-been.
21:00The show is about to start.
21:03Your seats are waiting.
21:09Holy shit.
21:10The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:14Talk about a power couple.
21:16They could run the entire industry.
21:19This isn't over, bitch.
21:21Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:23You've been in love with my mom since high school.
21:33So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:40Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:45Some people too.
21:46…
21:47The conversation is...
21:50Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:56This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
22:00She's been stealing designs for my creative director for years.
22:02years. It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own. I've slaved away on those
22:11designs day and night. And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:22That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria? Your entire career is based on lies
22:27and manipulation. That's enough, Holly. Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know
22:35what you really are. Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent. Did you know she slept
22:42with half the executives in the industry? That's her real design strategy. Stop it, Holly. You're
22:48embarrassing yourself. And those kids she's so proud of? Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:53It's a disaster in there. There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
23:06Not now.
23:12The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights. The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:19Oh, we've only got 50 minutes left until showtime. Is this some kind of sick joke,
23:23Maison Lava? Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence? This is completely unprofessional.
23:29I have 10 million invested in this collection. This is breach of contract.
23:38It's actually fixable.
23:41Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping me backstabbing vultures.
23:45Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:50Maison Lava appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:53Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
23:57The question on everyone's mind, is 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?
24:41The fabric supplier must have sent us defective 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, those 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, not only are you fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
25:06Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
25:22Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:26Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:30And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:34We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:36Excuse me.
25:48Excuse me.
25:49Excuse me.
25:51It's okay, punk.
25:52I'll be right.
25:53What do you want, Mia?
26:04Vic, I really need your help.
26:07Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
26:10Look, I 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, they're done.
26:25Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:28Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out here.
26:34Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:36Yes, absolutely.
26:37And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:41Please, Vic, not for me.
26:43For them.
26:44I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.
26:50What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:55They, they couldn't make it.
26:58Holly cut the travel budget.
27:01Is that right?
27:03Toria, I know I don't deserve your help.
27:07They, too.
27:09Fine.
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, and 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?
27:52Would this work?
27:53Vincent, how did you...
28:02I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
28:08This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors.
28:15Why would you help them?
28:18I'm not helping them.
28:21I'm helping you.
28:22I can't ask you to do this without 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, Victoria.
28:38Then what do you want?
28:41You.
28:44What?
28:44You're a talent.
28:50You're a vision.
28:52Come and work.
28:53As you're in.
28:54I'm in.
28:56I'll work for you.
28:58Just like that?
28:59Just like that.
29:00Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
29:04Oh.
29:06Oh.
29:14She's doing it in minutes.
29:33What would have taken us hours?
29:36Whoa.
29:37No wonder they call her the nuclear Vick.
29:39It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:43The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:51Five minutes till showtime.
29:53You made it.
30:07Well?
30:08Do we pull the plug or not?
30:09We're good.
30:10Everything's back on track.
30:11See?
30:14I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
30:16You've got twice her talent.
30:19Yeah.
30:20Right.
30:21This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:24You need Vicks vests, not make them.
30:32To Victoria.
30:35The real hero of the night.
30:36Mom, you're insane.
30:49I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:53Couldn't have done it without you.
30:54You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
31:06Well, well, still hanging around.
31:09I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
31:12Fraud.
31:13Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:18What are you talking about?
31:20Just ask the models.
31:21Any of them.
31:24Oh, and Mia.
31:26Don't forget about our agreement.
31:28About Miranda and Pauline.
31:29I think that I won't.
31:36Two new beginnings at Shilvent.
31:44Speaking of new beginnings.
31:47Emily's private school application is to do next month, right?
31:52I want to help.
31:53With her education.
31:55What?
31:56This and that.
31:57That's too much.
31:58We barely know each other.
32:00Victoria.
32:02I've known you since we were 17.
32:06I remember watching you win that regional competition.
32:11In that silver dress.
32:12The one you made from scratch.
32:15I saw the way your eyes lit up.
32:18When you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:22You remember that?
32:23I remember everything.
32:27I have followed your career.
32:29all these years just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:34Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:36We were married.
32:39And then you weren't.
32:40And then you were building your career.
32:43And then you were building your career.
32:44And the timing just was never right.
32:48Until now.
32:49I have been waiting 20 years to get with me.
33:02I have been waiting 20 years to get with me.
33:03I should probably get this.
33:15I should probably get this.
33:18Mia?
33:30God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:33That Milan disaster you turned around, absolute magic.
33:37And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
33:41Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:45Sean Gosling?
33:49The Sean Gosling?
33:50The very one.
33:51Three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:55And if you play your cards right, the next face of Maison Lebo is menswear.
34:00They're taking pitches now.
34:02If he picks yours, this changes everything.
34:05For you, for the brand.
34:07Word is, Joven's in the running too.
34:10Land this, Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:15Seal the deal?
34:18I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:20I've got this, Holly.
34:23You won't regret it.
34:31God, what am I gonna do?
34:32I can't design menswear.
34:35I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:38Miranda and Felina are gone too.
34:40I'm completely on my own.
34:43If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:49maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over it.
34:53Thanks for meeting me.
35:16I know things are complicated between us.
35:18You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
35:20Cut to the chase.
35:25We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks.
35:27Miranda and Pauline are also in the...
35:29Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:30She can handle this without me.
35:31Please, wait.
35:32There's more to it.
35:34After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:38Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:41I've been fighting for them.
35:43Am I serious?
35:44Pauline's due any day now.
35:46Trust me, I know.
35:47This project is our only shot.
35:49If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:53Have you worked with Sean before?
35:55No, but I've heard you have.
35:58Ages ago, I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
36:02Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison L'Ouble.
36:07Really?
36:07What concept?
36:08I don't do it.
36:13Well...
36:13Perfect.
36:27She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:31I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:34Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:39I do.
36:40Actually, I...
36:41I took them with me when I left Maison L'Ouble.
36:45Wait.
36:48Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:50How exactly is she part of this project?
36:52Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have,
36:56Holly's letting her work from home.
36:58Is the company covering her health insurance?
37:00Of course, Vic.
37:04Colleen and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
37:09You need to think about it.
37:11Take all the time you need.
37:13Mia.
37:15Don't make me regret trusting you.
37:18Again.
37:18Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:38Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:42The Sean Gosselin one with the black section lapels?
37:45That's the one.
37:47Can you check my home office?
37:48It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:52Got it.
37:54Grace is napping.
37:55The perfect timing.
37:56Thanks, sweetie.
37:57I just need to double check something about that.
38:02Shoulder.
38:04Instruction.
38:06Mom, are you okay?
38:12Miranda?
38:14Vic?
38:14Mom, mom, what's going on?
38:22Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:25Brenda, what happened?
38:27Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:30Bills don't pay themselves.
38:32You've met my husband, old child with no paycheck,
38:35and now there's a newborn at home.
38:38Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the gosselin project.
38:42What?
38:42God, is that the story she's spinning now?
38:48After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:52No severance, no cover, nothing.
38:55Just gone.
38:57That's completely illegal.
38:59Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
39:04All at once.
39:05What are the odds, right?
39:08And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours time.
39:13Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:15And Mia knew about all this.
39:23Mia.
39:25Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
39:28Didn't even blink.
39:30Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
39:34She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
39:38Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:41What?
39:43That bitch.
39:46This ends now.
39:53Damn it.
39:54Miss Michael.
40:00He's just arrived from Milan.
40:02We need approval by name for that.
40:04Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:16What are you all looking at?
40:17Get back to work.
40:19Victoria would never treat us like this.
40:20I heard that.
40:24You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:27Then where is she now?
40:29Gone.
40:29Now I'm in charge.
40:31And if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:34Well, at least you could actually design her.
40:41What the hell is going on here?
40:44Just a creative disagreement.
40:46Everything's under control.
40:48The Gosling page.
40:48Tell me you have something presentable.
40:50Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:56Show me.
40:58It's not quite ready.
40:59Now.
41:05This is garbage.
41:08Absolute garbage.
41:10I just need a little more time.
41:11We don't have more time.
41:12This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:15If Shou Fan gets this deal instead of us...
41:17It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:32I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
41:35Get me when you design me tomorrow morning.
41:37Or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:39I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
42:05I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
42:05Right on cue.
42:16Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:18Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:22The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:24She'll get her a sketch.
42:28And that's when we spring the trap.
42:42You're early.
42:44Vic.
42:44I really need that sketch.
42:55I said I'd help.
42:56Not hand over my design.
42:58Holly's all over me about this.
43:01If I don't have something tonight...
43:02Miranda and Pauline are toast.
43:04Still lying, Mia.
43:07You never learn.
43:09Guess it's payback time.
43:11So...
43:12Do you want my help or not?
43:14I can walk you through it.
43:15Your design could be just as good.
43:17She's such a snake.
43:21Vic, my stomach is killing me.
43:23Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:26Fine.
43:27But don't touch anything.
43:29Sorry, man.
43:56Survival of the fittest.
43:59You just let her take your work?
44:12She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
44:17You know, boss.
44:19We could pitch ourselves.
44:21Go after the same clients.
44:23Show them what real design looks like.
44:26We're not out yet.
44:29Oh, there's a revolution, bro.
44:46Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:51You're welcome, Mom.
44:53I want you and your team as your van.
45:01Full creative control.
45:04I'm Miranda.
45:05Your husband's debt.
45:07Handled.
45:08And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
45:12Mr. Chevalier, I...
45:15I'm Pauline.
45:16Your sister is in good hands.
45:18The best heart surgeon in the country is already prepping for her next surgery.
45:24Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
45:28Don't thank me.
45:29Thank Victoria.
45:31I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:35Vincent, I...
45:36I don't even know what to say.
45:39It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:42I don't even know what to say.
45:43I don't even know what to say.
45:44I don't even know what to say.
45:45I don't even know what to say.
45:46I don't even know what to say.
45:47I don't even know what to say.
45:48I don't even know what to say.
45:49I don't even know what to say.
45:50I don't even know what to say.
45:51I don't even know what to say.
45:52I don't even know what to say.
45:53I don't even know what to say.
45:54I don't even know what to say.
45:55I don't even know what to say.
45:56I don't even know what to say.
45:57I don't even know what to say.
45:58I don't even know what to say.
45:59I don't even know what to say.
46:00I don't know what to say.
46:01I don't know what to say.
46:32You're here.
46:49And you're still here.
46:51Final tweaks.
46:52The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:57You've got Grace to sleep.
47:02Yeah.
47:04And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
47:09Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:17Remember, smile.
47:19We're about to make the streets.
47:23Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:26We don't follow trends.
47:28We create them.
47:35Satin 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.
48:31And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:35Pregnant woman 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.
48:50Sean, 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.
49:23Let's begin the pitches.
49:26You ready to lose?
49:27You're out of your league.
49:29You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:39First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:41Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
50:02Beautiful work.
50:12Both themes.
50:14We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:20After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to Maison Laveau.
50:32What?
50:33Yes!
50:33Oh my God.
50:35Of course.
50:37This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:40what the hell did you people put me in are you trying to kill me mr. Gosling has a serious
50:56allergy to synthetic silk who designed this tuxedo did you even read the brief
51:00I mean did you you must have read the brief it's not complicated it says no synthetic
51:09blends I mean it must be some kind of mistake perhaps Mia overlooked something a mistake
51:16I could have ended up in the emergency room Victoria please tell these amateurs why you
51:24pulled your last I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic I'd never
51:37risk mr. Gosling's health for a deadline I
51:39and that's why Victoria is the best she actually pays attention after viewing all
51:44the entries the committee has reached a decision the Commission goes to Victoria
51:50Miranda and Pauline mr. Gosling was just a slip-up he is designed with the front
51:58runner all along that's why they picked her first maybe everyone should see this
52:06wait Mia did you actually steal Victoria's design
52:16that's a new low even for you
52:22Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars so you know I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft
52:36Maison Laveau's reputation is toast we're suspending all collaborations
52:43don't even think about trying to land anywhere else you're blacklisted
52:57Victoria please Victoria please I'll do anything please just help me save the company the brand you built for 15 years you made your choices Holly now you look at them
53:20why don't you went too far
