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.
04:59undersec council Julissa de Aja
05:05holy shit Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company.
05:06after all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve
05:15sir. Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them. What the hell? Listen up, everyone.
05:43Victoria Wintour is terminated. Effective immediately. You can't just do that. She's in the hospital having her baby. They're a loss against this. Vic worked while in labor. She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau. Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggos are bleeding us dry. Everything okay here?
06:07Great timing. Victoria Wintour, you're fired. Clear out your desk now.
06:25You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you? I saved this company three times when your father could have made payroll. Too many times.
06:33Well, that's ancient history. The board wants fresh blood. And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:48What? I'm the one who...
06:53Mia, you...
06:56Feel that curve? That's your signature. That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:01How could you? I taught you everything you know.
07:16I wish things were different, Vic.
07:20I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:23What happens to my team?
07:30Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:37Things got so bad she had to get hair implants.
07:40Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:44These jobs are their lifelines. Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity. You can't just throw them away.
07:52Well, actually, legally speaking, we can. No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection. But hey, that's corporate America for you.
08:01Or, we can shift the math. You sign. They stay. The budget works out. Think of it as taking one for the team.
08:14Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts. And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery. They can't lose their jobs.
08:23They can't lose their jobs.
08:28Come on, Vic. You say you care about them. Prove it.
08:52Five grand.
09:08That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:11That's what I'm worth to them.
09:22Be careful.
09:27I got you.
09:34Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:38Hi.
09:41High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:52So, it's true.
09:57Great 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?
10:13Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:18What are you getting at, exactly?
10:22I'm talking about you and me.
10:26Partners.
10:27You're genius.
10:29My money.
10:31No corporate BS.
10:33No one holding you back.
10:39I've got a baby to think about now.
10:42And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:48Just saying.
10:52Vincent Chevalier.
10:53Wow.
10:54You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
11:00Got your spy here?
11:04Don't mind me.
11:05I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing.
11:09Triple her salary, corner office.
11:11You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:16Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:19Rescuing 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?
11:34The 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.
11:46What are you talking about?
11:47Victoria designed all of this?
11:55Actually, those were my designs.
11:57What did you just say?
12:02The spring collection.
12:04The Cartier pieces.
12:06I designed them.
12:07Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:11Oops.
12:12Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:15I thought you were better than this, ma'am.
12:19Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:28So what? Skitches get passed around all the time, it doesn't prove squat.
12:33Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:36Dress designer?
12:38And the logo?
12:42The EW, woven in.
12:44Victoria's signature mark.
12:46It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:49Well, Leah, explain it and make her shut up.
12:51Shut up.
12:55It's funny.
12:57All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in the world.
13:02They all have EW and GW sewn in, too.
13:05Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:09Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:12It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs.
13:16Nia, is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:21Well, Nia, tell them.
13:23Tell them you designed this.
13:25Tell them you saved Milan.
13:27The logo, it's...
13:30It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:35You lying little bitch!
13:37That promotion was for saving the company.
13:40Look at the logo again.
13:43It's not EW or GW.
13:49It's actually two M's.
13:52MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:58See?
14:00One M flipped, one upright.
14:02It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:05It's mine.
14:06It's mine.
14:08That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:11Oh my god, she's right.
14:12It does look more like two M's.
14:16Human, if you let it be, you really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:22You learned wow, Mia.
14:25Maybe too well.
14:27You'll regret this.
14:30Come on, Vincent.
14:32We don't have to sink to their level.
14:33Okay.
14:35Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:37My Ferrari is outside.
14:39And I got this.
14:40You shouldn't be carrying any more.
14:47Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:50Just take care of your matter of poly, Mia.
14:56That's right, get the hell out of my company.
14:59Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
15:04I'm happy.
15:07You're right.
15:09It's alright.
15:11Paul, Victoria.
15:13VIP invitation, as fashion will.
15:15Front row.
15:16I think you'll find it.
15:18Lightning.
15:19Every pregnant woman fired. All of us. Just like that. No severance. No warning. Nothing.
15:35But a box and a security escort.
15:42Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:46Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign and bonus my writing star.
15:51Now, about Paris fashion movie. Their designs are eagerly awaited.
15:59You should have kept your legs closed.
16:10Oh my god, Mom. This is insane. I can't believe we're actually here.
16:15Victoria Winsworth. The Nuclear Vic.
16:18Your mom's basically a legend. You know that, right?
16:22We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
16:25Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:30Wait. Maison Léveau?
16:32Well, well. The Queen without her crown graces us for her presence.
16:38Brave of you to show up here.
16:40What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:43Let's go.
16:45Leaving so soon?
16:47You 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?
16:54Mom, is that true?
16:58Mom, is 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.
17:11My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:19If Maison Léveau 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.
17:33That's got a sting, huh? Exposed 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.
17:54That's enough.
17:56You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.
18:00Look at her. A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:07That dress, it's a cheap knockoff.
18:13Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:17It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:23What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:26Remove that dress.
18:27We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:33Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:36Now 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 all right?
19:04You all right?
19:06I'm sorry.
19:07Jesus 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 knockoff that you're so eager to trash her for?
19:20It's Chauvin.
19:23Vogue couture.
19:25Winter collection.
19:27Not even released yet.
19:29Price tag?
19:31300,000.
19:32Wow!
19:33You gave her that.
19:35That's right.
19:37You 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.
20:14CEO of Jeven.
20:16And yes,
20:18I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:23I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:27Your brilliance.
20:29Your principles.
20:31Your passion.
20:33Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:37Dom, did you know about this?
20:39Now, I'm not gonna pursue anything until she's ready.
20:43But 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.
21:00The show is about to start.
21:03Your seats are waiting.
21:09Holy shit.
21:10Shit.
21:11The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:15Talk about a power couple.
21:17They could run the entire industry.
21:20This isn't over, bitch.
21:22Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:24You know?
21:34So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:41Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:45Some people, too.
21:47Ladies 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.
22:02It's true.
22:06She took my work and passed it off as her own.
22:09I slaved away on those designs day and night.
22:15And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:23That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:26Your 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.
22:37Your 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.
22:48Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:50And those kids she's so proud of?
22:52Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:53Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:56How dare you!
23:00Mr. James, Mr. Michaels, it's a disaster in there.
23:04There's something wrong with the collection.
23:05It's the fabric.
23:07Not now.
23:13The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:17The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:19It hurts.
23:20But we've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:22Is this some kind of sick joke, Maisel Maval?
23:25Are you cancelling 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.
23:38It's actually fixable.
23:39Well, you can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
23:48Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:50Maisel Maval appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:53Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled minutes before showtime.
23:57The question on everyone's mind, is this the end for the once prestigious fashion groups?
24:02This show doesn't happen.
24:03You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
24:04We're talking billions, Holly.
24:05Billions.
24:06Billions.
24:07Billions.
24:08Billions.
24:09Billions.
24:10Billions.
24:11Billions.
24:12Billions.
24:13Billions.
24:14Billions.
24:38Fix this.
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.
25:11Miss 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.
25:27Please 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.
25:36What?
25:37Excuse me.
25:38Excuse me.
25:39Excuse me.
25:40It's okay, Pop.
25:41Help me right.
25:42What the hell?
25:43What do you want, Mia?
25:44Vic, I really need your help.
25:45Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:46Look.
25:47I know you're furious.
25:48I would be too.
25:49I know you're furious.
25:50I would be too.
25:51I know you're furious.
25:52I would be too.
25:53Excuse me.
25:54Excuse me.
25:55Excuse me.
25:56Excuse me.
25:57Excuse me.
25:58It's okay, Pop.
25:59It's okay, Pop.
26:00I'll be right.
26:01What do you want, Mia?
26:02What 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.
26:12Look.
26:13I know you're furious.
26:15I would be too.
26:16But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
26:19What about them?
26:20Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:23If we tank, they're done.
26:25Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:28Please.
26:29If you care about them keeping their jobs, just don't help us out here.
26:33Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:36Yes, absolutely.
26:38And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:40But, please, Vic, not for me.
26:43For that first word.
26:45I 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?
26:56They...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 do.
27:10Fine.
27:12I'll help you.
27:14But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
27:16Not for you.
27:17Oh, my God.
27:18It's Victoria Winter.
27:19The nuclear veck.
27:20I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric.
27:22Now.
27:23I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:24Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:25Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:26Would this work?
27:27No.
27:28No.
27:29No.
27:30No.
27:31No.
27:32No.
27:33No.
27:34No.
27:35No.
27:36No.
27:37No.
27:38No.
27:39No.
27:40No.
27:41No.
27:42No.
27:43No.
27:44No.
27:45No.
27:46No.
27:47No.
27:48No.
27:49No.
27:50No.
27:51No.
27:52No.
27:53No.
27:54No.
27:55No.
27:56No.
27:57No.
27:58No.
27:59No.
28:00No.
28:01No.
28:02No.
28:03No.
28:04No.
28:05No.
28:06No.
28:07No.
28:08No.
28:09No.
28:10No.
28:11No.
28:12No.
28:13No.
28:14No.
28:15No.
28:16No.
28:17No.
28:18No.
28:19No.
28:20No.
28:21I'm helping you.
28:23I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:27I have a design I've been saving.
28:29Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:32It's yours now.
28:34I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:38Then what do you want?
28:40You.
28:44What?
28:46Your talent. Your vision.
28:52Come and work as you've been.
28:55I'm in. I'll work for you.
28:58Just like that?
29:00Just like that.
29:01Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Labelle.
29:16I regret it.
29:18So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get out.
29:21I want me back.
29:23Don't ever change.
29:27I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:31She'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.
29:43The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:51Five minutes till showtime.
29:53You made it.
30:07Well?
30:08Did we pull the plug or not?
30:09We'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.
30:21This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:24You fix vests, not make them.
30:33To Victoria.
30:35The real hero of the night.
30:37Mom, you're insane.
30:38I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:52Couldn'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.
31:08I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
31:12Fraud.
31:13I didn't.
31:14Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:18What are you talking about?
31:19Just ask the models.
31:21Any of them.
31:22Any of them.
31:24Oh, and Mia, don't forget about our agreement.
31:28About Miranda and Pauline.
31:30I won't.
31:36Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:44Speaking of new beginnings,
31:46Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:52I want to help with their education.
31:55What? Vincent, that's too much.
31:58We barely know each other.
32:00Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
32:06I remember watching you win that regional competition.
32:10In that silver dress, the one you made from scratch.
32:14I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:21You 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?
32:36We were married.
32:40And then you weren't.
32:42And then you were building your career.
32:44The timing was just never right.
32:48Until now.
32:50I have been waiting.
33:00Twenty years to keep going.
33:02I should probably get this.
33:27Mia?
33:27God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:34That Milan disaster you turned around, absolute magic.
33:38And now I have an opportunity that can 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?
33:49The very one.
33:50Three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive, and if we play our cards right,
33:56the next face of Maison Nouveau is a man's wear.
34:00They're taking pitches now.
34:02If he picks yours, this changes everything, for you, for the brand.
34:07Where it is, Joven's in the running too.
34:10Land this, Vincent and his whore Victoria are done.
34:18Seal the deal, I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:21I've got this Holly, you won't regret it.
34:26God, what am I gonna do?
34:32I can't design menswear.
34:34I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:37Miranda and Felina are gone too.
34:40I'm completely on my own.
34:42If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:49maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over it.
34:59Thanks for meeting me, I know things are complicated between us.
35:05You mentioned Miranda and Pauline, cut to the chase.
35:11We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks, Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
35:17Miranda's excellent with menswear, she can handle this without me.
35:21Please wait, there's more to it.
35:25After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:27Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:29I've been fighting for them.
35:31Are you serious?
35:32Holly's due any day now.
35:33Trust me, I know.
35:34This project is our only shot.
35:35If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:37Have you worked with Sean before?
35:38No, but I've heard you have.
35:39Ages ago, I did a jacket framed for the Met Gala.
35:58Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept for him right before I left Maison Louvre.
36:07Really?
36:08concept.
36:13Well...
36:27Perfect, she's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:31I'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.
36:40Actually, I...
36:41I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
36:45Wait.
36:47Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:49How 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.
37:03Colleen and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
37:09You need to leave the body.
37:11Take all the time you need.
37:13Mia.
37:15Don't make me regret trusting you.
37:18Again.
37:19Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:20Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:29The Sean Gosselin one with the black satin lapels?
37:30That's the one.
37:31Can you check my home office?
37:32It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:35Got it.
37:36Grace is napping.
37:37The perfect timing.
37:38Thanks, sweetie.
37:39I just need to double check something about that.
37:40Shoulder.
37:41Instruction.
37:42Mom, are you okay?
38:00Shoulder.
38:02shoulder. Mom are you okay? Miranda? Vic?
38:18Mom! Mom! What's going on? Emily I'll call you right back. Miranda what happened?
38:27Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets? Bills don't pay themselves. You met my husband,
38:33old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home. Mia said you were on maternity
38:39leave working remotely on the gossling project. What? Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:48After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company. No severance, no cover, nothing.
38:54Just gone. That's completely illegal. Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated
39:02some very performance clause. All at once. What are the odds, right? And Polly, parking night
39:10shifts at 24 hours diner. Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:16And Mia knew about all this. Mia, front row seat when Holly made an announcement. Didn't
39:28even blink. Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title. She's been using you and Polly
39:36to manipulate me. Telling me her job depended on me helping her. What? That bitch!
39:46This ends now.
39:53Damn it!
39:59Miss Michael, he's just arrived from Milan. We need approval by naming for that.
40:04Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:06What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
40:19Victoria would never treat us.
40:23I heard that. You think Victoria is so perfect? Then where is she now? Gone. Now I'm in charge
40:31and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door. Well, at least you could actually design it.
40:42What the hell is going on here? Just a creative disagreement. Everything's under control.
40:48The Gosling page, tell me you have something presentable.
40:54Of course, I'm just finalizing some details. Show me.
40:58It's not quite ready. Now!
41:01This is garbage!
41:08Absolute garbage!
41:10I just need a little more time.
41:11We'll have more time. This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:15If Shuf Ben gets this deal instead of us...
41:21What's that?
41:22It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:32I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil, get me when I design me till morning,
41:37or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:50I 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.
42:21The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:27She'll get her a sketch.
42:27And that's when we spring the trap.
42:29You're early, thick. I really need that sketch.
42:47I said I'd help. Not hand over my design.
42:58Polly's all over me about this. If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
43:06Still lying, Mia. You never learn. Guess it's payback time.
43:11So, do you want my help or not? I 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. Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:27Fine. But don't touch anything.
43:40I'm sorry, man. Survival of the fittest.
43:57You just let her take your work?
44:12She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
44:18You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
44:21Go after the same clients. Show them what real design looks like.
44:25We're not out yet.
44:40Oh, there's a revolution, bro.
44:46Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:52You're welcome, mom.
44:55I want you and your team as your then.
45:01Full creative control.
45:04I'm Miranda. Your husband's debt, handled.
45:08And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
45:11Mr. Chevalier. I'm Pauline. Your sister is in good hands. The best heart surgeon in the country is already prepping for her neck surgery.
45:24Mr. Chevalier. Thank you.
45:27Mr. Chevalier. Don't thank me. Thank Victoria. I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:35Vincent, I... I don't even know what to say.
45:39It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:42All right.
45:55Thank you, girl.
45:57...
46:28And you're still here?
46:51Final tweaks.
46:52The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:54You've got Grace to sleep.
47:02Yeah.
47:04And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
47:10Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:12Remember, smile, we're about to make history.
47:24Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:27We don't follow trends, we create them.
47:29Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling'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's 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.
48:24You 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 X and 3s in a live 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.
49:00Sean, 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.
49:28You 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.
50:14We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:25After careful consideration,
50:27we're awarding the project to
50:29Maison Laveau.
50:33Oh, shit!
50:34Oh, my God.
50:36Of course.
50:37This is what you planned all along,
50:40wasn't it?
50:44What 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?
51:03I mean,
51:04you must have read the brief.
51:06It's not complicated.
51:07It says no synthetic blends.
51:11I mean,
51:11it 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,
51:21please,
51:22tell these amateurs
51:23why you pulled your last design.
51:25I pulled my design
51:33because the only fabric left
51:35was synthetic.
51:36I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health
51:38for a deadline.
51:39And that's why Victoria's the best.
51:42She actually pays attention.
51:44After reviewing all of the entries,
51:46the committee has reached a decision.
51:48The commission goes to
51:49Victoria, Miranda,
51:50and Paul Neen.
51:51That's all right.
51:52Mr. Gosling,
51:55it 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,
52:13did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:20Not so near low.
52:21Even for you.
52:26Maison Laveau
52:27will be hearing
52:28from my liars.
52:30So you know,
52:32I will be supporting
52:33Victoria's case
52:35for design theft.
52:37Maison Laveau's reputation
52:39is toast.
52:40We're suspending
52:42all collaborations.
52:43Don't even think
52:53about trying to land
52:54anywhere else.
52:56You're blacklisted.
53:02Victoria, please.
53:11Victoria, please.
53:12I'll do anything.
53:16Please just help me
53:16save the company,
53:17the brand you built
53:18for 15 years.
53:21You made your choices,
53:22Holly.
53:23Now you live with them.
53:26Why don't you
53:27go too far?
53:28Sean Gosling's look tonight
53:35is a game changer
53:36crafted by the trailblazing team
53:38at Joven.
53:39Social media is already calling it
53:41the Winter Revolution.
53:42to the best comeback
53:52in fashion history
53:53and to the women
53:54who made it happen.
53:56And to the maternity leave
53:57that actually means something.
54:02Mom,
54:04you might want to see this.
54:06happy birthday, Victoria.
54:19Happy birthday to you!
54:21Happy birthday to you!
54:21Happy birthday to you!
54:22Guys, look!
54:30Maison Léveau on the brink?
54:32Scandal pushes fashion giant
54:33towards bankruptcy.
54:35Ouch!
54:36I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:38It's strange, isn't it?
54:44We gave them everything.
54:47Late nights,
54:48weekends,
54:49all the best years
54:50and they tossed us aside
54:52like we were nothing.
54:54Now it's all crashing down.
54:56I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:58Honestly,
54:59it's a weird mix.
55:02Relief?
55:02Sure, but
55:03also a little bit of grief.
55:06Look,
55:06who said that our best years
55:08are behind us?
55:09Look at this!
55:12Jeven pushes for
55:13paid leave
55:14and parental support
55:15across
55:16all industries.
55:18Victoria,
55:19this is you!
55:20You did this!
55:22Here's to a future
55:24where women don't have to choose
55:26between their families
55:27and their careers.
55:28Not just for us,
55:30but for every woman
55:31who comes after.
55:33Careful, Vincent.
55:35You almost forgot
55:35the best part.
55:36Victoria Winter.
55:49Will you marry me?
55:58Yes!
56:00A thousand times yes!
56:01Woo!
