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!
00:20We're on runways in 48 hours!
00:26If production starts with these botched designs, we're all dead!
00:30Not just fire, we're dead!
00:32Company collapses, our careers are over!
00:35Come out here and talk to us!
00:37We have 8 million tied up in this collection!
00:40I have a fashion that you're from low, but right now!
00:42One word for me, you're 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.
01:27Tick-tock.
01:48I'm done!
01:49Crisis averted!
01:50I swear to god, you're not human!
01:5327 minutes!
01:55Holy 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 superpower pumpkin?
02:33Dad 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 assistants then was more comfortable than ours.
02:45That's my girl.
02:46That's my girl.
02:47Well, the company's yours now, Holly.
03:00But there's a condition.
03:02We need to slash costs immediately.
03:04Layoffs?
03:05Layoffs?
03:06That's it without leave.
03:07Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:17Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:22In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:30No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:34Boss?
03:35The Milan collection crisis?
03:36Averted.
03:37Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:38You saved the entire collection?
03:39Impressive.
03:40Oh, actually.
03:41How about I make you the new creative director?
03:42Starting today.
03:43Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:44She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:45I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
03:51But, Victoria-
03:53Don't worry about her.
03:54I'm not useless.
03:55Pre-going is now fired.
03:56Oh my god.
03:57You saved the entire collection?
03:58Impressive.
03:59Oh, actually.
04:00How about I make you the new creative director?
04:01Starting today.
04:02Oh my god, is this really happening?
04:03She's offering me Victoria's job?
04:04I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:07But, Victoria-
04:09Don't worry about her.
04:10I'm not useless.
04:11Pre-going is now fired.
04:12You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:19I hid something in the design.
04:23Your initials and now little graces.
04:26Hold them right into the fabric.
04:33And 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.
04:42You're going to that private school.
04:43No discussion.
04:44Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:45This job will keep us afloat.
04:46I love you, Mom.
04:47I love you, Mom.
04:48Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company.
04:52After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
04:59Are they taking my PK on theŠ“Š¶ all day?
05:00window, Boston right?
05:01What's their resolving status here?
05:02I'm Badass Tower isn't the ė°-
05:03Because I will forgive you.
05:04I'm terrified of my
05:21on the back side.
05:23Snow sh exit theč Betty lookingmeled on the real estate deal,
05:25Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:40What the hell?
05:41Listen up, everyone.
05:43Victoria 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.
06:02These preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:06Everything okay here?
06:10Great timing.
06:12Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:16Clear out your desk now.
06:24You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:28I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:32So many times.
06:34Well, 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...
06:54Feel 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.
07:21I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:27What happens to my team?
07:29Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:35Things got so bad she had to get hair implants.
07:39Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:44These jobs are their lifelines.
07:46Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:49You can't just throw them away.
07:51Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:55No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
08:01Or we can shift the math.
08:04You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:09Think of it as taking one for the team.
08:14Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:18And 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.
08:32Take care.
08:43Take care.
08:46Bye-bye.
08:54Five grand.
09:08That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:11That's what I'm worth to them.
09:24Be careful.
09:26I got you.
09:32Vincent?
09:34Vincent Chevalier?
09:36Hi.
09:40High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:44So.
09:54It's true.
09:56Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Maison Laveau's Milan collection.
10:06How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:12Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:18What are you getting at exactly?
10:21I'm talking about you and me.
10:25Partners.
10:27Your genius, my money.
10:30No corporate BS.
10:33No one holding you back.
10:39I've got a baby to think about now.
10:41And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:47Just saying.
10:52Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:54You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:59You got your spine here?
11:00Don't mind me. I'm just giving Victoria your...
11:05Soft landing.
11:09Triple her salary.
11:10Corner office.
11:12You know.
11:13Before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:15Anything else would be.
11:16Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:19Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:23Wow, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:28I mean the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:33The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:37If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:42Strip.
11:44Shit, shit, shit.
11:45What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this?
11:54Actually, those were my designs.
12:00What did you just say?
12:01The spring collection.
12:03The Cartier pieces.
12:04I designed them.
12:06Under your supervision, of course.
12:08But 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, Mia.
12:19Then explain my signature.
12:21On the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:29So what?
12:30Sketches get passed around all the time.
12:31It doesn't prove squat.
12:32Maybe she was your little...
12:34What do they call it?
12:36Breast designer?
12:38And the logo?
12:41The EW.
12:42Woven in.
12:44Victoria's signature mark.
12:46It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:49Well, Mia, explain it.
12:50Make her shut up.
12:55It's funny.
12:56All those pieces.
12:58From the Milan collection that everyone's losing it over.
13:00They all have EW and GW so near too.
13:03Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:05Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:10It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs.
13:16Mia.
13:17Is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
13:20Well, Mia, tell them.
13:21Tell them.
13:22Tell them you designed this.
13:24Tell them you saved Milan.
13:27The logo.
13:28It's...
13:30It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:34You lying little bitch!
13:37That promotion was for saving the company.
13:39Look at the logo again.
13:45It's not EW or GW.
13:49It's actually two M's.
13:52MM for McMichael.
13:54My last name.
13:58See?
13:59One M flipped.
14:01One upright.
14:02It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:05It's mine.
14:07That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:10Oh my god, she's right.
14:11It does look more like two M's.
14:15You manipulative bitch.
14:17You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:20You learned well, Mia.
14:24Maybe too well.
14:26You'll regret this.
14:29Come on, Vincent.
14:31We don't have to sink to that level.
14:33Okay.
14:35Then let me drive you home, Karen.
14:37My Ferrari is outside.
14:39And I got this.
14:40You shouldn't be carrying anymore.
14:46Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:48Just take care of Amanda and Pauline, Mia.
14:55That's right.
14:56Get the hell out of my company.
14:58Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
15:06Pauline, Victoria.
15:10VIP invitation.
15:12Fast fashion room.
15:14Front row.
15:15I think you'll find it.
15:17Lightning.
15:19Every 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.
15:46Their termination people weren't practically paid for your sign and bonus my right and star.
15:50Now, about Paris fashion movie.
15:51Your designs are eagerly awaited.
15:59You 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.
16:05The Nuclear Vic.
16:06Your mom's basically a legend.
16:07You know that, right?
16:08Yeah.
16:09Yeah.
16:10Yeah.
16:11Yeah.
16:12Yeah.
16:13Yeah.
16:14We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison LĆ©veau.
16:15Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:16Wait.
16:17Maison LĆ©veau?
16:18Well, well.
16:19The Queen without her crown graces us for her presence.
16:21Brave of you to show up here.
16:22What's next?
16:23Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:24Let's go.
16:25Leaving so soon.
16:26Leaving so soon.
16:27You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:28Does Mommy dearest build you in on her little career update?
16:29About getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:30No.
16:31No.
16:32No.
16:33No.
16:34No.
16:35No.
16:36No.
16:37No.
16:38No.
16:39No.
16:40No.
16:41No.
16:42No.
16:43No.
16:44No.
16:45No.
16:46No.
16:47No.
16:48No.
16:49No.
16:50No.
16:51No.
16:52No.
16:53You're keep writing canned not cutting it anymore?
16:56Mom is that true?
17:02Excuse me?
17:03Don't worry.
17:04She will explain once she's sig figoing out to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:06My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:10If Miss En Livau was putting people like you in charge of what she got into and can arma
17:14My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:19If Ms. Oliveau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe it deserves to crash and burn.
17:26Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:30Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:34That's got to sting, huh?
17:36Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero.
17:39But hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hard-working children.
17:47If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:50That's enough.
17:55That's enough.
17:57You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.
18:02Look at her. A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:07That dress.
18:09It's a cheap knock-off.
18:13Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:17It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:23What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:26Remove that dress.
18:28We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:33Hey, stop it. Let go of my mom.
18:35Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:40Take your hands off her now.
18:44Vincent.
18:50You're dismissed.
18:51You're right.
19:04You're right.
19:06I'm sorry.
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?
19:14That knock-off that you're so eager to trash her for?
19:21It's Chauvin.
19:23Vot Couture.
19:25Winter collection.
19:26Not even released yet.
19:29Price tag?
19:29$300,000.
19:31$300,000.
19:32Wow!
19:33You gave her that.
19:35That's right.
19:36You did.
19:39I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:43Oh my god, everyone.
19:44Mystery solved.
19:46Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:50Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
19:52He's your walking trust fund.
19:56Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:58It's just so predictably desperate.
20:04You really don't understand real talent, do you?
20:09For those of you who don't know me,
20:12I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:14CEO of Jeven.
20:17And yes,
20:18I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:23I've followed your career from a distance for years.
20:26Your brilliance.
20:29Your principles.
20:30Your passion.
20:33Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:37Mom, did you know about this?
20:40Now, I'm not going to 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.
20:50She won't let you down, boss.
20:55You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:58She's nothing but a has-been.
21:01The show is about to start.
21:03Your seats are waiting.
21:04Holy shit.
21:11The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:15Talk about a power couple.
21:17They can run the entire industry.
21:20This isn't over, bitch.
21:22Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:24So you seriously have been in love with my mom since high school?
21:40Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:45Some people, too.
21:46Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show,
21:54I have an important announcement.
21:56This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:59She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
22:05It's true.
22:06She took my work and passed it off as her own.
22:09I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
22:13And 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,
22:35but I know what you really are.
22:36Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:40Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:45That's her real design strategy.
22:47Stop it, Holly.
22:48You're embarrassing yourself.
22:50And those kids she's so proud of?
22:52Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:56How dare you?
23:00It's a disaster in there.
23:04There's something wrong with the collection.
23:05It's the fabric.
23:07Not now.
23:08The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:16The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:19We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:22Is this some kind of sick joke, Maisel Mavale?
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.
23:35This is breach of contract.
23:38It's actually fixable.
23:41Mom, you can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
23:47Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:50Maisel Mavale 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.
24:14Billions.
24:14Fix this.
24:38Billions.
24:39Now.
24:41How?
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, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
25:17Miss 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.
25:50Excuse me.
25:51It's okay, punk.
25:53I'll be right.
25:59What 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.
26:12Look, 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.
26:29If you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out here.
26:34Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:37Yes, absolutely.
26:38And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:40Please, Vic, not for me.
26:43For them.
26:45First food.
26:46I 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.
27:06They do.
27:10Fine.
27:12I'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.
27:35Now.
27:36I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:44Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:47Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:53Would this work?
27:59Vincent.
28:01How did you...
28:02I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
28:11This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors.
28:16Why would you help them?
28:17I'm not helping them.
28:22I'm helping you.
28:24I 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.
28:37Then what do you want?
28:41You.
28:44What?
28:48Your talent.
28:50Your vision.
28:52Come and work as you're in.
28:55I'm in.
28:56I'll work for you.
28:58Just like that?
28:59Just like that.
29:01Now, 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 want me back.
29:24Don't ever change.
29:26I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:32She's doing it in minutes.
29:34What would have taken us hours?
29:36Whoa.
29:37No wonder they call her the nuclear vic.
29:39It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:44The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:52Five minutes till showtime.
29:53You made it.
29:56Well, do we pull the plug or not?
30:10We're good.
30:10Everything's back on track.
30:13See?
30:14I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
30:16You've got twice your talent.
30:19Yeah.
30:20Right.
30:21This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:24You fix vests, not make them.
30:33To 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.
30:56You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
31:01Well, 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.
31:22Any of them.
31:24Oh, and Mia.
31:26Don't forget about our agreement.
31:28About Miranda and Pauline.
31:30I won't.
31:31Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:45Speaking of new beginnings.
31:47Emily's private school application is due 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.
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.
32:15I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:22You remember that?
32:23I remember everything.
32:24I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:35Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:37We were married.
32:38And then you weren't.
32:41And then you were building your career.
32:45Timing just was never right.
32:48Until now.
32:49I have been waiting 20 years to do that.
33:02I should probably get this.
33:18I should probably get this.
33:18God, 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?
33:49The Sean Gosling?
33:50The very one.
33:52Three-time Oscar winner.
33:53People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:55And if you play our cards right, the next face of Maison, the goals and ends where.
34:00They're taking pitches now.
34:02If he picks yours, this changes everything.
34:05For you.
34:06For the brand.
34:07Where it is, Joven's in the running too.
34:10Land this.
34:12Vincent and his whore 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?
34:33I 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,
34:50maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over.
34:54Thanks for meeting me.
35:16I know things are complicated between us.
35:18You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
35:21Cut to the chase.
35:24We'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.
35:32Please, 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.
35:47I know.
35:48This project is our only shot.
35:49If we land it, I can convince Kuali 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.
36:03Actually, I was sketching in your tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison L'Ouble.
36:06Really?
36:08What concept?
36:08What concept?
36:12Well...
36:13Perfect.
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...
36:42I 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?
36:53Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have,
36:56Holly's letting her work from home.
36:58Is the company covering your health insurance?
37:02Of 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.
37:14Mia.
37:15Don't make me regret trusting you.
37:18Again.
37:28Pumpkin, 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 sats and lapels?
37:46That's the one.
37:47Can 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.
38:05Mom, are you okay?
38:12Miranda?
38:14Vic?
38:18Mom, Mom, what's going on?
38:22Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:25Miranda, what happened?
38:27Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:29What?
38:30The bills don't pay for themselves.
38:31You 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 Gosselin project.
38:42What?
38:44Is that a 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 lawyer said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
39:04All at once.
39:06What are the odds, right?
39:08And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours diner.
39:13Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:16And 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!
39:59Miss 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?
40:06What are you all looking at?
40:17Get back to work!
40:19Victoria would never treat us.
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.
40:31And if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:34Well, at least you could actually design it.
40:36What the hell is going on here?
40:44Just a creative disagreement.
40:46Everything's under control.
40:48The Gosling page.
40:49Tell me you have something presentable.
40:54Of course.
40:55I'm just finalizing some details.
40:56Show me.
40:58It's not quite ready.
40:59Now.
41:00This is garbage.
41:08Absolute garbage.
41:10I just need a little more time.
41:12We'll have more time.
41:13This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:15If Shufan gets this deal instead of us...
41:18What'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 when I design me till morning.
41:37Or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:39I 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.
42:29And that's when we spring the trap.
42:43You're early.
42:44Vic.
42:45I really need that sketch.
42:47I said I'd help.
42:56Not hand over my design.
42:58Polly's all over me about this.
43:01If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
43:06Still lying, Mia.
43:08You never learn.
43:09Guess it's payback time.
43:11So, do you want my help or not?
43:13I 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?
43:27Fine.
43:28But don't touch anything.
43:29I don't.
43:43Sorry, man.
43:56Survival of the fittest.
44:10You just let her take your work?
44:11She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
44:17You know, boss, we 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.
44:52You'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 dead.
45:07Handled.
45:08And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
45:12Mr. Chirulia, I...
45:15I'm Pauline.
45:17Your sister is in good hands.
45:18The best heart surgeon in the country is already prepping for her next surgery.
45:24Mr. Chirulia, 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.
45:38It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:42It's about time you all get what you deserve.
46:09No.
46:10No.
46:12No.
46:13No.
46:18No.
46:22No.
46:26No.
46:33No.
46:33We're here.
46:49And you're still here.
46:51Final tweaks.
46:52The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:58You've got Grace to sleep.
46:59Yeah.
47:04And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
47:10Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:18Remember, smile.
47:19We're about to make history.
47:24Maison 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.
47:47What 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.
48:15I multitask.
48:18Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:22You 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.
48:35Pregnant women talk, you know, three ex-employees in a mindless video.
48:41What's next?
48:41The bake sale?
48:44Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:45You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:48And what real loyalty looks like.
48:51Sean, glad you could make it.
49:05We have something very special to show you.
49:11Vic.
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.
49:29You 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.
50:32First up, Mia McMichael, James.
50:34Oh, my God.
50:35First up, Mia McMichael, James.
50:36First up, Mia McMichael, James.
50:37I don't know how to cook on that.
50:38First up, Mia McMichael.
50:39Oh, my God.
50:39Oh, my God.
50:39Of course.
50:40What the hell did you people put me in? Are you trying to kill me?
50:54Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk. Who designed this tuxedo?
50:58Did you even read the brief?
51:01I mean, you must have read the brief. It's not complicated.
51:07It says no synthetic blends. I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
51:13Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:15A mistake? I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:19Victoria, please, tell these amateurs why you pulled your last design.
51:32I 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. She 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.
51:51It's okay.
51:53Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:56Mia's design was the front runner all along. That's why they picked her first.
52:01Maybe everyone should see this.
52:12Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:15That's a new low. Even for you.
52:26Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:29So you know, I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
52:37Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:39We're suspending all collaborations.
52:51Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:55You're blacklisted.
52:56Victoria, please.
53:02Victoria, please.
53:11Victoria, please.
53:14I'll do anything.
53:15Please just help me save the company, the brand you built for 15 years.
53:19Please.
53:20You made your choices, Holly.
53:22Now you live with them.
53:26Why don't you go too far?
53:34Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:39Social 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.
53:55And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
54:02Mom.
54:04You might want to see this.
54:14Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:15Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:19Happy birthday to you.
54:25Guys, look.
54:29Maison Laveau on the brink.
54:31Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:34Ouch.
54:36I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:39It's strange, isn't it?
54:40It's strange, isn't it?
54:41It's strange, isn't it?
54:44We gave them everything.
54:46Late nights.
54:47Weekends.
54:49All the best years.
54:50And they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:53Now it's all crashing down.
54:55I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:57But honestly, it's a weird mix.
55:00Relief, sure.
55:02But also a little bit of grief.
55:04Look.
55:06Who said that our best years are behind us?
55:09Look at this.
55:11Jeven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
55:17Victoria, this is you.
55:19You did this.
55:21Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
55:26Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
55:31Careful, Vincent.
55:33You almost forgot the best part.
55:48Victoria Winter.
55:52Will you marry me?
55:53Will you marry me?
55:58Yes.
55:59A thousand times yes.
56:00Woo!
56:01Woo!
56:02Woo!
56:13Woo!
56:22Best birthday ever!
56:31You came.
56:40I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:43I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:46When word got out you left.
56:49Clients failed.
56:51The board freaked.
56:53Numbers tanked.
56:54I couldn't stop it.
56:56You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
56:59I know.
57:00I know.
57:01I know.
57:03My father.
57:05The stress gave him a heart attack.
57:07He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:09I destroyed everything.
57:11My thoughts slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:13I didn't mean for it to end like this.
57:14I didn't mean for it to end like this.
57:15Maison Laveau isn't dead.
57:17I bought it.
57:18Last week.
57:20The brand.
57:21The archives.
57:22Even the debt.
57:23It's part of Jeven now.
57:24Why would you do that?
57:26To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:29You win, Victoria.
57:30I hope you do better than I did.
57:31I'll do it differently.
57:32Goodbye, Holly.
57:33I'll do it differently.
57:34Goodbye, Holly.
57:35You win, Victoria.
57:36I hope you do better than I did.
57:37I'll do it differently.
57:38Goodbye, Holly.
57:39I'll do it differently.
57:40Goodbye, Holly.
57:41And, I'll do it.
57:58Goodbye, Paul.
58:15Miss Wintour, I just... I wanted to thank you.
58:20Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
58:25I can keep working and...
58:28I have my baby.
58:30You changed everything.
58:33Congratulations.
58:35Wishing you and your little one every happens.
58:47Ready?
58:51Always.
58:58And now, Jovan's new collection, designed by Victoria Wintour and your team.
59:08I will, too.
