00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:14The system crashed mid-upload.
00:16Half the collection is the wrong season.
00:18We're on everything.
00:20No.
00:22I'm on runways in 48 hours.
00:26Productions start with these botched designs.
00:28We're all dead.
00:30Not just fire, we're dead.
00:32Company collapses, our careers are over.
00:34Come out here and talk to us.
00:36We have 8 million tied up in this collection.
00:40I have a fashion that you're floating on right now.
00:42One word for me, your industry poison.
00:56Enough.
01:00Vic!
01:02Mia, Japanese indigo.
01:06Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.
01:10Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:14Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:2028 minutes?
01:22The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2527 now.
01:26Tick tock.
01:48And done. Crisis averted.
01:50I swear to god, you're not human.
01:5327 minutes!
01:54Holy shit!
01:56Pre-orders are flooding in.
01:57This will shatter every record.
02:06Vic!
02:07Are you okay?
02:10Just Braxton Hicks, nothing to-
02:16Oh my god, your water broke.
02:20Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:29Multitasking is my super power pumpkin.
02:34Dad called.
02:35He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:45That's my girl.
02:46Well, the company's yours now, Holly.
02:47But there's a condition.
02:48We need to slash costs immediately.
02:50Layoffs.
02:51Layoffs.
02:52Absent without leave.
02:53Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
02:55Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
02:56In fact, they deserve some money for the time.
02:57That's not the time.
02:58That's not the time.
02:59Well, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:00It's not the time.
03:01Not the time.
03:02That's not the time.
03:03Yeah, I know.
03:04Well, I'm sorry.
03:05I'm sorry.
03:06Well, Dad, I'm sorry.
03:07I'm sorry.
03:09Absent without leave.
03:12Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:16Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:23In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:30No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:36Boss, the Milan collection crisis, averted.
03:41Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:43Ew, you saved the entire collection?
03:45Impressive.
03:46Oh, 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?
04:00I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:04But, Victoria...
04:08Don't worry about her.
04:09I'm not useless.
04:10Here I go, I just have fire.
04:13You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:21I hid something in the design.
04:22Your initials and now little graces.
04:27Hold them right into the fabric.
04:32And that's gonna give him a long runway?
04:35Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:39Enough for your full tuition at private school.
04:41Mom, you ain't have to.
04:43We're going to that private school.
04:45No discussion.
04:47Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:50This job will keep us afloat.
04:52I love you, Mom.
04:54Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:10After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:22Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:36What the hell?
05:41Listen up everyone, Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:46Effective immediately.
05:47You 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, these preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:04Everything okay here?
06:11Great timing.
06:12Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:16Clear out your desk, now.
06:25You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:28I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:32Three times.
06:35Well, that's ancient history.
06:39The board wants fresh blood.
06:41And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:49What?
06:50I'm the one who...
06:53Mia, you...
06:56Feel that curve?
06:57That's your signature.
06:59That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:06How 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.
07:29What 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.
08:03Or we can shift the math.
08:06You sign.
08:07They stay.
08:09The budget works out.
08:11Think of it as...
08:13Taking 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, babe.
08:29You say you care about them.
08:31Prove it.
08:36.
08:58Five grand.
09:08That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:11That's what I'm worth to them.
09:25Careful.
09:28I got you.
09:34Vincent?
09:36Vincent Chevalier?
09:38Hi.
09:41High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:54So, it's true.
09:55Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Misan Laveau's Milan collection.
10:03How 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.
10:16What are you getting at exactly?
10:20I'm talking about you and me.
10:23Partners.
10:24Partners.
10:25You're genius.
10:26My money.
10:27No corporate BS.
10:28No one holding you back.
10:31I've got a baby to think about now.
10:32And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:46I'm just saying.
10:47Just saying.
10:52Vincent Chevalier.
10:53Wow.
10:54You didn't expect to see the head of Jovan, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
10:59You got your spy here?
11:01Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing, triple her salary, corner office.
11:11You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:15Oh, so you're dumpster diving now, rescuing 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, maybe you should just...strip.
11:42Shit, shit, shit.
11:44What are you talking about?
11:46Victoria designed all of this?
11:52Actually, those were my designs.
11:57What 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.
12:09Oops.
12:10Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:13I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:16Then 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...what do they call it?
12:35Best designer?
12:37And the logo?
12:39The EW woven in Victoria's signature mark.
12:45It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:48No, Mia.
12:49Explain it.
12:50Make her shut up.
12:51It'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 new too.
13:05Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:08Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:11It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs.
13:15Mia.
13:16Is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
13:20Well, Mia.
13:21Tell them.
13:22Tell them you designed this.
13:24Tell them you saved Milan.
13:26The logo.
13:28It's...
13:29It'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.
13:48It's actually two M's.
13:51M-M for McMichael, my last name.
13:57See?
13:58One M flipped.
14:00One upright.
14:01It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:04It's mine.
14:06That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:09Oh my god, she's right.
14:11It does look more like two M's.
14:14You manipulative bitch.
14:16You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:20You learned wild Mia.
14:23Maybe too wild.
14:25You'll regret this.
14:28I'm not.
14:30We don't have to sink to that level.
14:33Okay.
14:34Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:36My Ferrari is outside.
14:38And I got this.
14:39You shouldn't be caring anymore.
14:41I know.
14:42Congratulations on your promotion Mia.
14:44Just take care of the matter of Pauline, Mia.
14:47That's right.
14:48Get the hell out of my company.
14:49Go leech your 401k somewhere else.
14:54Pauline, Victoria.
14:55A VIP invitation.
14:56As fashion room.
14:57Front row.
14:58I didn't even find it.
14:59Lightning.
15:00Every pregnant woman fired.
15:10V.I.P. invitation as fashionable. Front row. I didn't even find it. Lightning.
15:25Every pregnant woman fired. All of us. Just like that. No severance, no warning, nothing but a box and a security escort.
15:40Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities. Their termination people weren't practically paid for your signing bonus, my writing star.
15:51Now, about Paris Fashion Week. Their designs are eagerly awaited.
15:58You should have kept your legs closed.
16:01Oh my god, mom. This is insane. I can't believe we're actually here.
16:14Victoria Winsford. The Nuclear Vic. Your mom's basically a legend. You know that, right?
16:19We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison L茅veau. Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:30Wait. Maison L茅veau?
16:33Well, well. The Queen without her crown graces us with her presence. Brave of you to show up here.
16:39What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:43Let's go.
16:45Leaving so soon.
16:46You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:49Has mommy dearest filled you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:57Mom, is that true?
16:58Is that true?
17:02Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:07Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter. Still pretending she matters.
17:15My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:19If Maison L茅veau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:25Well, look at that. It 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?
17:40Hey, good news. There'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.
17:51You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.
18:01Look at her. A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:07That dress, it's a cheap knockoff.
18:10Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic. It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:20What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:25Remove that dress.
18:26Remove that dress.
18:28We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:32Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:35Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:39Take your hands off her now.
18:43Vincent.
18:44Vincent.
18:50You're dismissed.
18:59You alright?
19:03You alright?
19:05I'm fine.
19:06Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:09The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:12What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:16That knockoff?
19:18That you're so here to trash her for?
19:21It's Chevenne.
19:23Haute Couture.
19:25Winter Collection.
19:27Not even released yet.
19:28Price tag?
19:29300,000.
19:31Wow!
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.
19:43Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:46Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy!
19:49Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight, he's your walking trust fund.
19:54Victoria sleeping her weight at the top.
19:58It's just so predictably desperate.
20:04You really don't understand real talent, do you?
20:08For those of you who don't know me,
20:11I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:13CEO of Jevenne.
20:16And yes,
20:18I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:21I've followed your career from a distance for years.
20:26Your brilliance.
20:28Your principles.
20:30Your passion.
20:32Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:36Mom, did you know about this?
20:39I'm not gonna pursue anything until she's ready.
20:42But in the meantime, what I will do
20:45is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:49She won't let you down, boss.
20:52You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:56She's nothing but a has-been.
20:59The show is about to start.
21:02Your seats are waiting.
21:03Your seats are waiting.
21:09Holy shit.
21:11The 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.
21:23movie.
21:25The tvs.
21:26The tvs.
21:28The tvs.
21:30The tvs My mom.
21:31The tvs.
21:33It is over, it's over.
21:34The tvs.
21:35The tvs.
21:36The tvs.
21:38The tvs.
21:39Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:45Some people too.
21:51Ladies 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.
21:59She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
22:05It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.
22:09I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
22:15And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:22That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:25Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:29That's enough, Holly.
22:33Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:36Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:41Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:45That's her real design strategy.
22:47Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:50And those kids she's so proud of?
22:52Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:54How dare you!
22:59Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Michaels, it's a disaster in there.
23:04There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
23:07Not now.
23:08The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the light.
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-Movale?
23:24Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
23:27This is completely unprofessional.
23:30I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:34This is breach of contract.
23:35It's actually fixable.
23:41Paul, you can't seriously be thinking about helping me backstabbing vultures.
23:47Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:50Maison-Movale 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,
23:59is this the end for the once prestigious fashion groups?
24:02This 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?
24:42The 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,
25:04I'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.
25:29And for the record, you'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, punk.
25:53I'll be right.
25:53Okay.
25:53What do you want, Mia?
26:04Vic, I really need your help.
26:08Funny 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?
26:21Their 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,
26:32just help us out here.
26:34Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:36Yes, absolutely.
26:38And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:40Please, Vic, not for me.
26:43For them.
26:44First food.
26:46I would have expected them to be here in Paris,
26:48you 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?
27:03Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
27:08They do.
27:10Fine.
27:10I'll help you.
27:13But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
27:16Not for you.
27:28Oh my God.
27:29It's Victoria Winter.
27:31The Nuclear Vec.
27:32I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric now.
27:42I need royal fuchsia for the stitching.
27:44Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:47Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:53Would 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?
28:19I'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.
28:34I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:37Then what do you want?
28:41You.
28:44What?
28:48You're a talent.
28:50You're a vision.
28:52Come and work as Joven.
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.
29:04I hate it when I'm gone.
29:12I wish I was cool.
29:14Like the new girl at school.
29:17I regret it.
29:18So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get at it.
29:21I won't be back.
29:24Don't ever change.
29:27I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:30She's doing it in minutes.
29:34What would have taken us hours?
29:36Whoa.
29:37No wonder they call her the nuclear Vick.
29:40It'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.
29:54Well, do we pull the plug or not?
30:10We're good.
30:10Everything's back on track.
30:12See?
30:14I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
30:16You've got twice her talent.
30:19Yeah.
30:20Right.
30:20This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:24You fix this, it does not make them.
30:32To Victoria.
30:35The real hero of the night.
30:47Mom, you're insane.
30:48I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:53Couldn't have done it without you.
30:56You 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.
31:14Holly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:17What are you talking about?
31:20Just ask the models.
31:22Any of them.
31:24Oh, and Mia.
31:26Don't forget about our agreement.
31:28About Miranda and Pauline.
31:30I think I won't.
31:36Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:38Speaking of new beginnings, Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:52I want to help with her education.
31:55What?
31:56Vincent, that's too much.
31:58We barely know each other.
31:59Victoria, I'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.
32:14I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:22You remember that.
32:23I remember everything.
32:27I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:34Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:37We were married.
32:40And then you weren't.
32:41And then you were building your career.
32:44Timing was never right.
32:48Until now.
32:49I have been waiting for 20 years to get with me.
33:15I should probably get this.
33:19Mia?
33:27Mia?
33:30God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:34That Milan disaster you turned around?
33:36Absolute 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.
33:47Sean Gosling?
33:48The Sean Gosling?
33:50The very one.
33:52Three-time Oscar winner.
33:53People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:55And if we play our cards right, the next face of Maison Nicole is menswear.
33:59They're taking pitches now.
34:02If he picks yours, this changes everything.
34:05For you.
34:05For the brand.
34:07Word is.
34:08Joven's in the running too.
34:10Land this.
34:11Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:17Seal the deal?
34:19I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:20I've got this, Holly.
34:23You won't regret it.
34:24God, what am I going to do?
34:32I can't design menswear.
34:35I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:38Miranda and Pauline 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,
34:50maybe 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.
35:23We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux.
35:27Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
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.
35:43Are you 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.
35:52Have you worked with Sean before?
35:55No, but I've heard you have.
35:58Ages ago, I did a jacket for him for the Met Gala.
36:03Actually, I was sketching in your tuxedo concept for him right before I left Maison Le Ball.
36:07Really?
36:08What concept?
36:08Well...
36:10Perfect.
36:14She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:30I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:35Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:39I do.
36:41Actually, I...
36:41I took them with me when I left Maison Le Ball.
36:45Wait.
36:46Miranda 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?
37:01Of course, Vic.
37:04Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
37:06Take all the time you need.
37:14Mia, don'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.
37:46Can you check my home office?
37:48It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:53Got it.
37:54Grace is napping.
37:55The perfect timing.
37:56Thanks, sweetie.
37:57I just need to double check something about that.
38:03Shoulder.
38:04Instruction.
38:06Mom, are you okay?
38:12Miranda?
38:14Vic?
38:18Mom, mom, 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?
38:28I mean, why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:29Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:29Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:30Littles don't pay themselves.
38:31You've met my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
38:38Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the gossing project.
38:42What?
38:43Is 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.
38:58Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
39:04All at once.
39:06What are the odds, right?
39:08And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours diner, her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:16And Mia knew about all this.
39:23Mia, front row seat when Holly made an announcement, didn't even blink.
39:30Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
39:35She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me, telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:41What?
39:43That bitch!
39:46This ends now.
39:53Damn it!
39:59Miss Michael, he's just arrived from Milan.
40:02We need approval by naming for them.
40:04Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:16What are y'all looking at? Get back to work!
40:19Victoria would never treat us like this.
40:22I heard that.
40:24You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:27Then where is she now?
40:29Gone.
40:30Now I'm in charge, and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:34Well, at least you could actually design it.
40:35What the hell is going on here?
40:44Just a creative disagreement.
40:46Everything's under control.
40:48Mr. Gosling, Paige, tell me you have something presentable.
40:54Of 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.
41:13This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:14If Shufan gets this deal instead of us.
41:21What's that?
41:27It'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 a winning design later tomorrow morning,
41:37or pack up your desk by lunch!
41:39I still can't believe they're using this as leverage.
42:09Right on cue.
42:16Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:18Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:22The absolute nerve of this woman!
42:27She'll get her a sketch.
42:29And that's when we spring the trap.
42:39You're early.
42:44Vic,
42:45I 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,
43:03Miranda 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,
43:21my stomach is killing me.
43:23Can you run to the pharmacy
43:24and get something, please?
43:27Fine.
43:28But don't touch anything.
43:29I'm sorry,
43:55and I'm survival of the fittest.
43:57You 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.
44:27Oh, 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
44:57and your team
44:58as your then.
45:01Full creative control.
45:04I'm Miranda.
45:05Your husband's debt
45:06handled.
45:08And every casino in the country
45:10has been told he's not welcome.
45:12Mr. Chiavelli, I...
45:15I'm Pauline.
45:16Your sister is in good hands.
45:18The best heart surgeon
45:20in the country
45:21who's already prepping
45:22for her next surgery.
45:24Mr. Chiavelli,
45:25thank you.
45:28Don't thank me.
45:29Thank Victoria.
45:31I'm just looking out
45:32for the people she believes in.
45:35Vincent, I...
45:36I don't even know what to say.
45:39It's about time
45:40you all get what you deserve.
45:42It's about what...
45:43That's exactly how I was thinking.
45:47I love you.
45:47I don't even know what to say.
45:50You...
45:51No.
45:52That's exactly what I saw.
45:52I love you.
45:54I love you.
45:57You're welcome.
46:05I love you.
46:06I love you.
46:08I love you.
46:08I love you too.
46:09I love you.
46:09I love you.
46:10I love you.
46:10I love you.
46:11I love you.
46:11I love you.
46:11I love you.
46:42And you're still here.
46:51Final tweaks. The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:57You've got Grace to sleep.
47:02Yeah.
47:04And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
47:07Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:17Remember, smile. We're about to make this week.
47:23Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:26We don't follow trends. We create them.
47:29Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gossling's Met Gala moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:43I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:47What is that bitch doing here?
47:59Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
48:03My company is thriving because of your generosity.
48:08I didn't expect to see you here.
48:11We thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:17I 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.
48:38Three ex employees in a live-less video.
48:41What's next? A 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.
49:21It's good to see you.
49:23Let'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, me and McMichael, Maison Laveau.
50:00Next, Victoria, Miranda and Pauline.
50:11Beautiful work.
50:13Both themes.
50:18We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:20After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...
50:30Maison Laveau.
50:33Oh, yeah!
50:34Oh, my God.
50:36Of course.
50:37This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:40What the hell did you people put me in?
50:52Are you trying to kill me?
50:55Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:58Who 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.
51:11I mean...
51:12It must be some kind of mistake.
51:13Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:16A mistake?
51:17I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:20Victoria, please, tell these amateurs why you pulled your last design.
51:25I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:36I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
51:39And that's why Victoria is the best.
51:42She actually pays attention.
51:43After reviewing all of the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
51:47The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:51Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:57Mia's design was the front runner all along.
51:59That's why they picked her first.
52:05Maybe everyone should see this.
52:12Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:16That's a new low.
52:21Even for you.
52:26Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:30So you know,
52:31I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
52:37Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:40We're suspending all collaborations.
52:46Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:56You're blacklisted.
53:02Victoria, please.
53:11Victoria, please.
53:12I'll do anything.
53:15Please just help me save the company, the brand you built for 15 years.
53:20You made your choices, Holly.
53:23Now you live with them.
53:25Yes.
53:26Why don't you go too far?
53:34Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer
53:36crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:38Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
53:50To the best comeback in fashion history
53:53and to the women who made it happen.
53:56And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:59Mom, you might want to see this.
54:15Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:20Happy birthday to you!
54:21Guys, look!
54:29Maison Laveau on the brink?
54:32The scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:35Ouch!
54:36I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:39It's strange, isn't it?
54:40I gave them everything.
54:47Late nights, weekends, all the best years,
54:50and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:54Now it's all crashing down.
54:56I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:58Honestly, it's a weird mix.
55:02Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
55:05Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
55:09Look at this!
55:12Joven pushes for paid leave and parental support
55:15across all industries.
55:18Victoria, this is you!
55:20You did this!
55:22Here's to a future where women don't have to choose
55:26between their families and their careers.
55:28Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
55:31Careful, Vincent.
55:34You almost forgot the best part.
55:49Victoria Winter.
55:53Will you marry me?
55:58Yes!
56:00A thousand times yes!
56:01Woo!
56:02Woo!
56:02Yeah!
