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.
04:59Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was undying about myself.
05:05Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company.
05:09After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:17Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:40What the hell?
05:42Listen up, everyone.
05:43Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:45Affected immediately.
05:48You can't just do that.
05:50She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:52There are laws against this.
05:54Vic worked while in labor.
05:57She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
06:00Maternity leave, medical insurance.
06:02These preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:05Everything okay here?
06:10Great timing.
06:12Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:15Clear out your desk now.
06:25You'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.
06:33Well, 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...
06:52Mia, you...
06:54Feel that curve?
06:58That'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.
07:23What happens to my team?
07:31Miranda 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.
07:41Pauline 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.
07:58No 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.
08:10Well, think of it as taking one for the team.
08:16Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:19And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:23They can't lose their jobs.
08:28Come on, babe.
08:29You say you care about them.
08:31Prove it.
08:40Five grand.
09:07That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:11That's what I'm worth to them.
09:25Careful.
09:27I got you.
09:34Vincent?
09:36Vincent Chevalier?
09:37Hi.
09:41High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:54So, it's true.
09:57Great 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.
10:18What are you getting at, exactly?
10:20I'm talking about you and me.
10:25Partners.
10:27You're genius.
10:27My money.
10:31No corporate BS.
10:33No one holding you back.
10:34I'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.
10:48Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:49Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:53Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:54You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
11:00Got your spy here?
11:01Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing.
11:09Triple her salary, corner office.
11:12You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:17Oh, 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.
11:27I 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.
11:44Shit, shit, shit.
11:45What are you talking about?
11:47Victoria designed all of this.
11:54Actually, those were my designs.
11:57What did you just say?
12:02The spring collection.
12:03The Cartier pieces.
12:05I designed them.
12:07Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:11Oops.
12:11Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:15I thought you were better than this, ma'am.
12:19Then explain my signature.
12:20On the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:29So what?
12:30Sketches get passed around all the time.
12:31It doesn't prove squat.
12:33Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:36Dress designer?
12:38And the logo?
12:39The EW woven in Victoria's signature mark.
12:46It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:49Well, Mia, explain it.
12:50Make me shut up.
12:51It's funny.
12:57All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in the world, they all have
13:02EW and GW's so new, too.
13:05Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:08Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:10It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs.
13:16Mia, is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:21Well, Mia, tell them.
13:23Tell them you designed this.
13:25Tell them you saved Milan.
13:28The logo, it's...
13:29It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:34You lying little bitch!
13:37That promotion was for saving the company.
13:40Look at the logo again.
13:45It's not EW or GW.
13:49It's actually two M's.
13:52M-M for McMichael, my last name.
13:58See?
13:59One M flipped, one upright.
14:02It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:05It's mine.
14:08That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:09Oh my god, she's right.
14:12It does look more like two M's.
14:16You manipulative bitch.
14:18You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:22You learned while Mia.
14:25Maybe too well.
14:26You'll regret this.
14:30I'm not going to sleep.
14:31We don't have to sink to their level.
14:34Okay.
14:35Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:37My Ferrari's outside.
14:39And I got this.
14:40You shouldn't be caring anymore.
14:42My Ferrari.
14:42I'm not going to be home.
14:46Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:50Just take care of your matter of Polly.
14:53I'm kidding.
14:56That's right.
14:57Get the hell out of my company.
14:59Go lead your 401k somewhere else.

21:52before we kick off tonight's show
21:54I have an important announcement
21:55this woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief
21:59she's been stealing designs from my creative director for years
22:03it's true
22:06she took my work and passed it off as her own
22:08I've slaved away on those designs
22:12day and night
22:14and Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own
22:18that's just the tip of the iceberg
22:24isn't it Victoria?
22:25your entire career is based on lies and manipulation
22:28that's enough Holly
22:30everyone 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?
22:44that's her real design strategy
22:47stop it Holly
22:48you're embarrassing yourself
22:49and those kids she's so proud of
22:52who knows who their real fathers are
22:54how dare you?
23:00it's a disaster in there
23:03there's something wrong with the collection
23:05it's the fabric
23:06not 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, Maisamovale?
23:24are you cancelling the show because of your incompetence?
23:27this is completely unprofessional
23:29I have 10 million invested in this collection
23:33this is breach of contract
23:35it's actually fixable
23:39well
23:41you can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures
23:45breaking news from Paris Fashion Week
23:50Maisamovale appears to be imploding underneath new leadership
23:53sources say the entire collection may be cancelled
23:55minutes 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
24:10we're talking billions, home

24:28how? the fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials
24:44I can't magically make new dresses in an hour!
24:48you have exactly 30 minutes to make this work
24:51if you don't those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket
24:55that's billions of dollars
24:58then you better figure something out
25:00because if you don't
25:02not only are you fired
25:04I'll make sure you never work in fashion again

30:07well

30:09we're good
30:10everything's back on track
30:12see
30:13see
30:14I knew firing Victoria was the right call
30:16you've got twice her talent
30:19yeah
30:20right
30:22this 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
30:37you're insane
30:38I can't believe you actually picked that disaster in under an hour
30:40couldn't have done it without you
30:43you know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance
30:48you
30:49well
30:50well, well, still hangin' around
30:54I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party
31:03fraud
31:05probably, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight
31:08I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party. Fraud.
31:14Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:18What are you talking about?
31:20Just ask the models. Any of them.
31:24Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement. About Miranda and Pauline.
31:30I won't.
31:32Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:44Speaking of new beginnings...
31:48Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:52I want to help. With her education.
31:55What? This and that. That's too much. We 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.
32:31Just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:35Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:37We were married.
32:39And then you weren't.
32:41And then you were building your career.
32:43Timing was never right.
32:47Until now.
32:49I have been waiting.
32:5120 years to do this.
33:03I should probably get this.
33:05Mia?
33:07God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:11That Milan disaster you turned around? Absolute magic.
33:15And now I have an opportunity that can put you on the map for good.
33:17Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:21Sean Gosling? The magnid?
33:34Sean Gosling? The Sean Gosling?
33:39map for good. Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet. Sean
33:48Gosling? The Sean Gosling? The very one. Three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest
33:54Man Alive, and if you play our cards right, the next face of Maison de Beauvais
33:58handswear. They're taking pitches now. If he picks yours, this changes everything.
34:04For you, for the brand, where it is, Joven's in the running too. Lanthus, Vincent, and
34:12his whore Victoria are done. Seal the deal, I'll bump your pay by 20%. I've got this,
34:22Holly. You won't regret it. God, what am I gonna do? I can't design menswear.
34:34I barely pulled off the woman's of Victoria's help. Miranda and Felina are gone too. I'm
34:41completely on my own. If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all
34:49Victoria, maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over it.
34:54Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us. You mentioned Miranda and Pauline? Cut to the chase.
35:01Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us. You mentioned Miranda and Pauline? Cut to the chase.
35:09We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks. Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
35:16Miranda's excellent with menswear. She can handle this without me. Please wait, there's more to it.
35:18After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster. Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block. I've been fighting for them.
35:25Are you serious?
35:26Are you serious?
35:27Holly's due any day now. Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot. If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:36Have you worked with Sean before? No, but I've heard you have. I've heard you have. I've heard you have.
35:42Ages ago, I did a jacket for him for the Met Gala. Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison Colo.
35:52Really? What concept?
35:54before? No, but I've heard you have. Ages 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
36:07Really? What concept?
36:13Well...
36:27Perfect, she's handing everything over without even realizing. I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:34Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:39I do. Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
36:46Wait. Miranda went on maternity leave last week. How exactly is she part of this project?
36:53Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:58Is the company covering her health insurance?
37:00Of course, Vic. Colleen and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
37:09You need to think about it. Take all the time you need.
37:14Mia, don't make me regret trusting you. Again.
37:28Pumpkin, I need a quick favor. Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:42The Shawn Gosselin one with the black satin lapels?
37:45That's the one. Can you check my home office? It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:53Got it. Grace is napping. The perfect timing.
37:56Thanks, sweetie. I just need to double check something about that.
37:59Mom, are you okay?
38:11Miranda? Vic?
38:14Mom, Mom, what's going on?
38:20Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:25Brenda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:30Bills don't pay themselves. You 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 gossling project.
38:42What? Is 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. Just gone.
38:57That's completely illegal.
38:59Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
39:04All at once. What are the odds, right?
39:08And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours diner.
39:13Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:21And Mia knew about all this.
39:23Mia, front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
39:28Didn't even blink.
39:30Too busy admiring her shiny new create and direct title.
39:35She'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, he's just arrived from Milan. We need approval by naming for that.
40:04Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:16What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
40:19Victoria would never treat us.
40:23I heard that.
40:23You 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.
40:41What the hell is going on here?
40:44Just a creative disagreement.
40:46Everything's under control.
40:47The Gosling page, 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.
41:06This 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?
41:23It'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 or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:39I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
42:01I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
42:12Right 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.
42:29And that's when we spring the trap.
42:30You're early.
42:43Vic.
42:44I really need that sketch.
42:47I said I'd help.
42:56Not hand over my design.
42:58Paulie's all over me about this.
43:00If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
43:04Still lying, Mia.
43:07You never learn.
43:09Guess it's payback time.
43:11So, do you want my help or not?
43:14I can walk you through it.
43:15Your design could be just as good.
43:17She's such a snake.
43:21Vic, my stomach is killing me.
43:23Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:27Fine.
43:28Don't touch anything.
43:53I'm sorry, Vic.
43:56Survival of the fittest.
44:10You just let her take your work?
44:12She 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.
44:40I heard there's a revolution, bro.
44:46Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:50You're welcome, mom.
44:56I want you and your team as your then.
45:01Full creative control.
45:04I'm Miranda.
45:05Your husband's debt, handled.
45:08And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
45:11Mr. Chevalier, I'm Pauline.
45:17Your sister is in good hands.
45:19The best heart surgeon in the country is already prepping for her neck surgery.
45:24Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
45:28Don't thank me.
45:29Thank Victoria.
45:31I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:33Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
45:35Vincent, I...
45:37I don't even know what to say.
45:39It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:43You're welcome.
45:43You're welcome.
46:44We're here.
46:49And you're still here.
46:51Final tweaks.
46:52The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:58You'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.
47:18Remember, smile.
47:19We're about to make history.
47:24Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:27We don't follow trends.
47:28We create them.
47:35Satin black lapels.
47:37Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.
47:40A blend of tradition and boldness.
47:43I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:53What is that bitch doing here?
47:55Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
48:03My company is thriving because of your generosity.
48:09I didn't expect to see you here.
48:11I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:15I multitask.
48:19Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:24You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
48:28The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:31And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:36Pregnant women talk, you know.
48:38Three X and 3s in a minus video.
48:41What's next?
48:41The face sale?
48:42Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:45You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:48And what real loyalty looks like.
49:03Sean, glad you could make it.
49:05We have something very special to show you.
49:11Vic.
49:12I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl.
49:17You'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.
49:32First up, me and McMichael.
49:41Maison Laveau.
49:59Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
50:02Beautiful work.
50:13Both themes.
50:14We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:20After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...
50:31Maison Laveau.
50:33Oh, my God.
50:36Of course.
50:36This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:40Yes.
50:41What 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, you must have read the brief.
51:06It's not complicated.
51:07It says no synthetic blends.
51:10I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
51:13Perhaps Nia 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.
51:32I 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.
51:42She actually pays attention.
51:44After reviewing all of the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
51:48The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Paul Mien.
51:54Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:57Mien's design was the front runner all along.
51:59That's why they picked her first.
52:05Maybe everyone should see this.
52:09Wait, Mien, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:20That's a new low.
52:21Even for you.
52:26Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:29And so you know, I would be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
52:38Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:40We're suspending all collaborations.
52:43Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:56You're blacklisted.
53:02Victoria, please.
53:03Victoria, please.
53:14I'll do anything.
53:16Please just help me save the company, the brand you built for 15 years.
53:21You made your choices, Holly.
53:23Now you live with them.
53:26Why don't you go too far?
53:28Sean 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.
53:42To 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.
54:02Mom, you might want to see this.
54:06Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:20Happy birthday to you!
54:25Guys, look!
54:29Maison Laveau on the brink.
54:31The scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:34Ouch!
54:36I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:39It's strange, isn't it?
54:44We gave them everything.
54:47Late nights, weekends, all the best years.
54:51And 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.
55:00It's relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
55:06Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
55:09Look at this!
55:12Joven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
55:18Victoria, this is you.
55:20You did this.
55:21Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
55:28Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
55:33Careful, Vincent.
55:35You almost forgot the best part.
55:36Victoria Winter.
55:49Victoria Winter.
55:53Will you marry me?
55:58Yes!
56:00A thousand times yes!
56:01Woohoo!
56:02Yeah!
56:02Woohoo!
