00:00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:00:14The system crashed mid-upload.
00:00:16Half the collection is the wrong season.
00:00:18Wrong everything.
00:00:20No.
00:00:22I'm on runways in 48 hours.
00:00:26If productions start with these botched designs, we're all dead.
00:00:30Not just fire, we're dead.
00:00:32Company collapses, our careers are over.
00:00:35Come out here and talk to us.
00:00:37We have 8 million tied up in this collection.
00:00:40I haven't fasted your boat.
00:00:42Right now, one word for me, your industry poison.
00:00:56Enough.
00:01:00Vic!
00:01:02Mia, Japanese indigo.
00:01:06Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.
00:01:10Pauline, handle those ultras.
00:01:14Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
00:01:20It's 28 minutes?
00:01:22The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
00:01:2627 now.
00:01:28Tick tock.
00:01:30I'm done.
00:01:32Crisis averted.
00:01:34I swear to God you're not human.
00:01:3727 minutes.
00:01:38Holy shit!
00:01:40Pre-orders are flooding in.
00:01:41This will shatter everything up.
00:01:43I'm dead.
00:01:45The hour to go.
00:01:46The hour to go.
00:01:47The hour to go, the hour to go.
00:01:48No...
00:01:49The hour to go.
00:01:50I should go, the hour to go.
00:01:51We're a little bit higher.
00:01:52The hour to go.
00:01:53I need some more hours.
00:01:54I'm dead.
00:01:55You're not human.
00:01:56The hour to go.
00:01:57It's very quiet.
00:01:58I'm dead.
00:01:59This will shatter every record.
00:02:08Vic, are you okay?
00:02:12Just frax and hicks, nothing to-
00:02:18Oh my god, your water broke!
00:02:20Mom, you're seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
00:02:31Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
00:02:36Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but...
00:02:40I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistants said he was more comfortable than ours.
00:02:48That's my girl.
00:02:59Well, the company's yours now, Holly.
00:03:02But there's a condition.
00:03:05We need to slash costs immediately.
00:03:09Layoffs?
00:03:13That's it without leave.
00:03:14Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
00:03:19Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster...
00:03:24They get immunity.
00:03:26In fact, um...
00:03:28They deserve a promotion.
00:03:33No way, Miss Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
00:03:37Boss, the Milan collection crisis? A burden.
00:03:41Pre-orders are pouring in.
00:03:43You, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
00:03:46Oh, actually...
00:03:48How about I make you the new creative director?
00:03:50Starting today.
00:03:51Oh, my God, is this really happening?
00:03:52She's offering me Victoria's job? I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
00:04:06Oh, my God?
00:04:11But, Victoria...
00:04:12Don't worry about her.
00:04:13I'm not useless, Greg. I'm just not fired.
00:04:21You know that collection I just rescued, Ab?
00:04:23I hid something in the design.
00:04:27Your initials and now little graces.
00:04:31Hold them right into the fabric.
00:04:37And that's the Milan runway?
00:04:40Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
00:04:44Enough for your full tuition at private school.
00:04:46Mom, you ain't have to.
00:04:48We're going to that private school.
00:04:50No discussion.
00:04:53Your sister and I will manage just fine.
00:04:56This job will keep us afloat.
00:04:58I love you, Mom.
00:05:10Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
00:05:15After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
00:05:20Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
00:05:22Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
00:05:31What the hell?
00:05:35Listen up, everyone.
00:05:36I require every single one of them.
00:05:46What the hell?
00:05:47Listen up, everyone.
00:05:49Victoria Wintour is terminated.
00:05:51Effective immediately.
00:05:54You can't just do that.
00:05:56She's in the hospital having her baby.
00:05:58They're a loss against this.
00:06:00Vic worked while in labor.
00:06:02She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
00:06:05Maternity leave, medical insurance.
00:06:08These preggles are bleeding us dry.
00:06:12Everything okay here?
00:06:16Great timing.
00:06:18Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
00:06:22Clear out your desk now.
00:06:31You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
00:06:34I saved this company three times when your father could have been here.
00:06:38Three times.
00:06:42Well, that's ancient history.
00:06:45The board wants fresh blood.
00:06:47And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
00:06:51What?
00:06:56I'm the one who...
00:07:00Mia, you...
00:07:03Feel that curve.
00:07:04That's her signature.
00:07:06That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
00:07:13How could you?
00:07:14I taught you everything you know.
00:07:23I wish things were different, Vic.
00:07:27I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
00:07:30What happens to my team?
00:07:31Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
00:07:44Things got so bad she had to get hair.
00:07:47Implants.
00:07:49Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
00:07:52These jobs are their lifelines, health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
00:07:58You can't just throw them away.
00:08:01Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
00:08:04No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
00:08:10Or, we can shift the math.
00:08:14You sign.
00:08:16They stay.
00:08:17The budget works out.
00:08:19Think of it as...
00:08:22Taking one for the team.
00:08:24Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
00:08:28And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
00:08:31They can't lose their jobs.
00:08:33Come on, babe.
00:08:34Cause they care about them.
00:08:35Prove it.
00:08:37Come on, babe.
00:08:38Cause they care about them.
00:08:40Prove it.
00:08:41You can't lose my life.
00:08:42Ya.
00:08:46She's left over.
00:08:50Hey, are you okay?
00:08:52You're okay.
00:08:54I wanna go something.
00:08:56I'm sorry.
00:09:00I'm sorry, my friend.
00:09:02Oh, God.
00:09:05Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:09:08That's my seventh package after 15 years, that's what I'm worth to them.
00:09:36Careful.
00:09:38I got you.
00:09:45Vincent?
00:09:47Vincent Chevalier.
00:09:49Hi.
00:09:52High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
00:09:56So, it's true.
00:10:06Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Rizan LeBeau's Milan collection.
00:10:14How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
00:10:24Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
00:10:28What are you getting at exactly?
00:10:32I'm talking about you and me.
00:10:37Harlow's.
00:10:38You're genius.
00:10:40My money.
00:10:42No corporate BS.
00:10:44No one holding me back.
00:10:50I've got a baby to think about now.
00:10:52And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
00:10:57Just saying.
00:11:05Vincent Chevalier, wow!
00:11:07You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
00:11:11You've got your spy here?
00:11:16Don't mind me.
00:11:17I'm just giving Victoria here.
00:11:19Soft landing.
00:11:21Triple her salary.
00:11:23Corner office.
00:11:25You know.
00:11:26Before the vultures at LD or Chanel swoop in.
00:11:29Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
00:11:31Rescuing the washed-up single mom with outdated ideas?
00:11:35It's an interesting take to have, considering you're wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
00:11:42I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
00:11:47The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
00:11:50If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
00:11:57Shit, shit, shit!
00:11:59What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this?
00:12:05Actually, those were my designs.
00:12:14What did you just say?
00:12:15The spring collection.
00:12:17The Cartier pieces.
00:12:19I designed them.
00:12:21Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
00:12:25Oops.
00:12:26Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
00:12:29I thought you were better than this, Mia.
00:12:31Can I explain my signature?
00:12:35On the original sketch dated six months ago.
00:12:43So what? Sketches get passed around all the time, it doesn't prove squat.
00:12:47Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
00:12:51This designer?
00:12:53And the logo?
00:12:54The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
00:13:00It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
00:13:04Mommy, explain it and make me shut up.
00:13:06It's funny.
00:13:07All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's doing is going to have.
00:13:16They all have EW and GW so they too.
00:13:20Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
00:13:23Her newborn is Grace Winter.
00:13:26It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
00:13:31Is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
00:13:36Well, Mia, tell them.
00:13:38Tell them you designed this.
00:13:40Tell them you saved Milan.
00:13:42The logo, it's...
00:13:45It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
00:13:50You lying little bitch!
00:13:52That promotion is by saving the company.
00:13:55Look at the logo again.
00:14:01It's not EW or GW.
00:14:05It's actually two M's.
00:14:08MM for McMichael, my last name.
00:14:14See?
00:14:16One M flipped, one upright.
00:14:18It's not for Grace or Emily.
00:14:22It's mine.
00:14:23That is absolutely ridiculous.
00:14:27Oh my god, she's right.
00:14:28It does look more like two M's.
00:14:32Human, if you're a little prince, you really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
00:14:38You learned well, Mia.
00:14:41Maybe too well.
00:14:43You'll regret this.
00:14:46I'm not Vincent.
00:14:48You don't have to sink to that level.
00:14:50Okay.
00:14:52Let me drive you home, Karen.
00:14:54Bye for hours outside.
00:14:56When I got this, you shouldn't be caring anymore.
00:14:59Okay.
00:15:03Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
00:15:06Just...
00:15:08Take care of your manner of Pauli, will you?
00:15:11That's right, get the hell out of my company.
00:15:16Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
00:15:24Hold on, Victoria.
00:15:28VIP invitation, Paris Fashion Week.
00:15:31Front row.
00:15:32I think you'll find it.
00:15:34Why me?
00:15:44Every pregnant woman fired.
00:15:46All of us.
00:15:48Just like that.
00:15:50No severance.
00:15:52No warning.
00:15:53Nothing.
00:15:54In a security escort.
00:16:00Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
00:16:04For termination, people wouldn't have to be paid for your signing bonus when you're writing a star.
00:16:10Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
00:16:13Your designs are eerily weighted.
00:16:17You should have kept your legs closed.
00:16:25Oh my god, mom.
00:16:30This is insane.
00:16:32I can't believe we're actually here.
00:16:34Victoria Wintour.
00:16:36It's a nuclear vehicle.
00:16:38Your mom's basically a legend.
00:16:39You know that, right?
00:16:41We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
00:16:45Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
00:16:50Wait.
00:16:51Maison Léveau?
00:16:53Well, well.
00:16:55The queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
00:16:58Brave of you to show up here.
00:17:00What's next?
00:17:01Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
00:17:05Leaving so soon?
00:17:07You haven't introduced me to your princess.
00:17:10Did mommy dearest build you in on your little career update?
00:17:13About getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
00:17:18Mom, is that true?
00:17:23Don't worry.
00:17:24She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
00:17:28Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour.
00:17:31Still pretending she matters.
00:17:36My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
00:17:39If Maison Léveau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
00:17:47Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
00:17:51Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
00:17:54That's got a sting, huh?
00:17:57Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
00:18:01Hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
00:18:07If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
00:18:10That's enough.
00:18:12That's enough.
00:18:16That's enough.
00:18:18You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
00:18:21You never belonged in this world.
00:18:23Look at her.
00:18:25A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
00:18:28That dress.
00:18:31It's a cheap knockoff.
00:18:34Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
00:18:38It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
00:18:45What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:18:47Remove that dress.
00:18:49We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
00:18:54Hey, stop it. Let go of my mom.
00:18:56Come on!
00:18:58And let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
00:19:01Take your hands off her now.
00:19:06Vincent.
00:19:12You're dismissed.
00:19:22You alright?
00:19:26I'm fine.
00:19:28Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
00:19:32The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
00:19:34What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
00:19:39That knockoff?
00:19:41Are you so here to trash her for?
00:19:43It's Chevenne.
00:19:45But the tour.
00:19:47Winter Collection.
00:19:49Not even released yet.
00:19:51Price tag?
00:19:53$300,000.
00:19:55Wow!
00:19:56You gave her that.
00:19:58That's right.
00:20:00You did.
00:20:02I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted.
00:20:05Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
00:20:08Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy.
00:20:11Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
00:20:14He's her walking trust fund.
00:20:18Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
00:20:21It's just so predictably desperate.
00:20:23You really don't understand real talent.
00:20:30Do you?
00:20:32For those of you who don't know me.
00:20:34I'm Vincent Chevalier.
00:20:37CEO of Jevenne.
00:20:38CEO of Jevenne.
00:20:40Yes.
00:20:42I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
00:20:47I have followed your career from a distance for years.
00:20:50Your brilliance.
00:20:52Your principles.
00:20:54Your passion.
00:20:56Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
00:21:00Tom, did you know about this?
00:21:03I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
00:21:05But in the meantime, what I will do
00:21:09is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
00:21:14She won't let you down, boss.
00:21:19You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
00:21:22She's nothing but a has-been.
00:21:24The show is about to start.
00:21:27Your seats are waiting.
00:21:33Holy shit.
00:21:35The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
00:21:38Talk about a power couple.
00:21:40I could run the entire industry.
00:21:42This isn't over, bitch.
00:21:45Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
00:21:47You think you're sleeping in love with my mom since high school?
00:22:01What?
00:22:02Some talents you recognize immediately.
00:22:08Some people do.
00:22:11Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
00:22:15This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
00:22:16She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
00:22:29It's true.
00:22:31She took my work and passed it off as her own.
00:22:33I slaved away on those designs day and night.
00:22:38And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
00:22:42That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
00:22:43Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
00:22:44That's enough, Holly.
00:22:45Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
00:22:48Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
00:22:53Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
00:23:10That's her real design strategy.
00:23:13Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
00:23:14yourself it's a disaster in there there's something wrong with the
00:23:30collection it's the fabric no primary fabrics are disintegrating under the
00:23:41lights the dresses are literally falling apart we've only got 50 minutes left until showtime
00:23:48is this some kind of sick joke are you canceling the show because of your incompetence this is
00:23:54completely unprofessional i have 10 million invested in this collection this is breach of
00:24:00contract it's actually fixable
00:24:05you can't seriously be thinking about helping you back-stabbing vultures
00:24:11breaking news from paris fashion week mason gulfo appears to be important underneath new
00:24:18leadership sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime
00:24:23a question on everyone's mind is this the end for one's prestigious fashion books
00:24:28this show doesn't happen you're personally liable for the breach penalties we're talking billions
00:24:39now
00:25:06How? The fabric supplier must have sent us effective materials. I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
00:25:15You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work. If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
00:25:23That's billions of dollars.
00:25:26Then you better figure something out. Because if you don't, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
00:25:36Miss Winter, how do you respond to the accusations over design theft?
00:25:49Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
00:25:53Please respect Miss Winter's privacy. And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is. We're gathering evidence as we speak.
00:26:06Excuse me. Excuse me.
00:26:19It's okay, Pop. Put me around.
00:26:23What do you want, Mia?
00:26:32Vic, I really need your help.
00:26:36Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
00:26:40Look, I know you're furious. I would be too. But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
00:26:47What about them?
00:26:49Their jobs are on the line with the show. If we tank, they're done. Holly will fire them without a second thought.
00:26:56Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out with you.
00:27:02Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
00:27:05Yes, absolutely. And they're counting on this being a hit.
00:27:09Please, Vic, not for me. For them. For school.
00:27:14I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.
00:27:19What exactly happened to them, Mia?
00:27:25They... they couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.
00:27:30Is that right?
00:27:32Toria, I know I don't deserve your help.
00:27:39Fine.
00:27:42I'll help you.
00:27:43But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline. Not for you.
00:27:58Oh, my God. It's Victoria Winter. A nuclear beck.
00:28:02I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric. Now.
00:28:09I need royal fuchsia for this stitching. Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
00:28:17Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
00:28:23Would this work?
00:28:30Vincent, how did you...
00:28:33I figured you might need some supplies, so...
00:28:36I had my assistant bring over Joven as an emergency kit.
00:28:42This is perfect, but...
00:28:44Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors. Why would you help them?
00:28:50I'm not helping them.
00:28:53I'm helping you.
00:28:54I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
00:28:59I have a design I've been saving.
00:29:01Something special I've never shown anyone.
00:29:04It's yours now.
00:29:06I don't want your design, Victoria.
00:29:10Then what do you want?
00:29:13You.
00:29:15What?
00:29:16What?
00:29:20Your talent.
00:29:22Your vision.
00:29:24Come and work as Joven.
00:29:26I'm in.
00:29:28I'll work for you.
00:29:30Just like that?
00:29:31Just like that.
00:29:33Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
00:29:36I'll put myself in the middle.
00:29:40I hate it.
00:29:42When I'm gone.
00:29:44I wish I was cool.
00:29:47Life ain't never going to school.
00:29:49I regret it.
00:29:51So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get.
00:29:53I won't be bad.
00:29:56Don't let it change.
00:30:00I'm gonna be proud of my name.
00:30:03She's doing it in minutes.
00:30:06What would have taken us hours?
00:30:08Whoa.
00:30:10No wonder they call her the nuclear peck.
00:30:12It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
00:30:16The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
00:30:24Five minutes till showtime.
00:30:26We made it.
00:30:32Woo!
00:30:40Well?
00:30:41Do we pull the plug or not?
00:30:43We're good.
00:30:44Everything's back on track.
00:30:46See?
00:30:48I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
00:30:50You've got twice your talent.
00:30:53Yeah.
00:30:54Right.
00:30:56This is exactly why I promoted you.
00:30:58Your business is not Nathan.
00:31:02Your business is not Nathan.
00:31:06To Victoria.
00:31:08The real hero of the night.
00:31:10Mom, you're insane.
00:31:12I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
00:31:14Couldn't have done it without you.
00:31:15You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
00:31:28Well, well, still hanging around.
00:31:29I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face with the after party. Fraud.
00:31:33Holly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
00:31:34What are you talking about?
00:31:35Just ask the models.
00:31:36Any of them.
00:31:37Oh, and Mia.
00:31:38Don't forget about our agreement.
00:31:39About Miranda and Pauline.
00:31:40I won't.
00:31:41I won't.
00:31:42I won't.
00:31:44Two new beginnings such event, though.
00:31:45Show your face at the after party. Fraud.
00:31:49Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
00:31:53What are you talking about?
00:31:55Just ask the models. Any of them.
00:31:59Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement. About Miranda and Pauline.
00:32:11Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
00:32:15Speaking of new beginnings, Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
00:32:27I want to help. With her education.
00:32:30What? Vincent, that's too much. We barely know each other.
00:32:36Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
00:32:40I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress, the one you made from scratch.
00:32:51I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
00:32:58You remember that?
00:32:59I remember everything.
00:33:03I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
00:33:11Why didn't you ever reach out?
00:33:12You were married.
00:33:13And then you worked.
00:33:14And then you were building your career.
00:33:15The timing was never right.
00:33:16Until now.
00:33:17I have been waiting for 20 years to do that.
00:33:18I have been waiting for 20 years to do that.
00:33:22I have been waiting for 20 years to do that for me.
00:33:23I have been waiting for 20 years to do that for me.
00:33:44I should probably get this.
00:34:04Mia?
00:34:08God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
00:34:11That Milan disaster you turned around?
00:34:13Absolute magic.
00:34:15And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
00:34:19Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
00:34:25Sean Gosling?
00:34:27The Sean Gosling?
00:34:29The very one, three-time Oscar winner,
00:34:31People's Sexiest Man Alive,
00:34:33and if we play our cards right,
00:34:35the next face remains on the Bozeman's wear.
00:34:38They're taking pitches now.
00:34:41If he picks yours, this changes everything.
00:34:43For you, for the brand,
00:34:45where it is,
00:34:47Joven's in the running too.
00:34:49Lanthus, Vincent, and poor Victoria are done.
00:34:56Seal the deal, I'll bump your pay by 20%.
00:34:59I've got this, Holly.
00:35:01You won't regret it.
00:35:10God, what am I gonna do?
00:35:11I can't design men's wear.
00:35:13I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
00:35:17Miranda and Felina are gone too.
00:35:19I'm completely on my own.
00:35:21If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
00:35:29maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over it.
00:35:33Thanks for meeting me, I know things are complicated between us.
00:35:46You mentioned Miranda and Pauline, cut to the chase.
00:35:52We're pitching for Shawn's Oscar tux.
00:35:54Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
00:35:55Miranda's excellent at men's wear.
00:35:57She can handle this without me.
00:35:58Please, wait, there's more to it.
00:35:58After Paris, Holly needed someone to play for the fabric disaster.
00:36:00Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
00:36:02We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux.
00:36:08Miranda and Pauline are also in the...
00:36:09Miranda's excellent at men's, right?
00:36:11She can handle this without me.
00:36:12Please, wait, there's more to it.
00:36:14After Paris, Holly needed someone to play for the fabric disaster.
00:36:18Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
00:36:21I've been fighting for them.
00:36:23Are you serious?
00:36:24Pauline's due any day now.
00:36:27Trust me, I know.
00:36:28This project is our only shot.
00:36:30If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
00:36:33Have you worked for Sean before?
00:36:35No, but I've heard you have.
00:36:38Ages ago, I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
00:36:43Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept right before I left Maison to fall.
00:36:47Really? What concept?
00:36:53Well...
00:37:00Perfect, she's handing everything over without even realizing.
00:37:12I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
00:37:16Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
00:37:20I do.
00:37:21Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Lavelle.
00:37:26Wait.
00:37:28Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
00:37:30How exactly is she part of this project?
00:37:33Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have,
00:37:37Holly's letting her work from home.
00:37:39Is the company covering her health insurance?
00:37:43Of course, Vic.
00:37:45Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
00:37:47Take all the time you need.
00:37:55Mia,
00:37:55don't make me regret trusting me.
00:37:59Again.
00:38:17Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
00:38:20Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
00:38:24The Sean Gosselin one with the black item lapels?
00:38:27That's the one.
00:38:29Can you check my home office?
00:38:30It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
00:38:35Got it.
00:38:36Grace is napping.
00:38:37The perfect timing.
00:38:38Thanks, sweetie.
00:38:39I just need to go and check something about that.
00:38:41Mom, are you okay?
00:38:49Mom, are you okay?
00:38:54Miranda?
00:38:56Vic?
00:39:01Mom, Mom, what's going on?
00:39:03Emily, I'll call you right back.
00:39:08Brenda, what happened?
00:39:10Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
00:39:12Girls don't pay themselves.
00:39:15You can make my house an old child with no paycheck,
00:39:18and now there's a newborn at home.
00:39:20Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
00:39:25What?
00:39:26Is that the story she's spinning?
00:39:28After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
00:39:35No subbearance, no copper, and nothing.
00:39:38Just gone.
00:39:40That's completely illegal.
00:39:42Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
00:39:47All at once.
00:39:49What are the odds, right?
00:39:51Napali, working night shifts at 24 hours diaries.
00:39:55Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
00:40:04And Mia knew about all this.
00:40:07Mia, front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
00:40:12Didn't even blink.
00:40:14Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
00:40:18She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
00:40:22Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
00:40:25What?
00:40:27That bitch!
00:40:30This ends now.
00:40:38Damn it!
00:40:39Miss Michael.
00:40:45Miss Michael.
00:40:45Miss just arrived from Milan.
00:40:47We need approval by name.
00:40:49Can't you see I'm working on something important?
00:41:01What are y'all looking at?
00:41:02Get back to work!
00:41:04Victoria would never treat us.
00:41:05I heard that.
00:41:09You think Victoria is so perfect?
00:41:12Then where is she now?
00:41:14Gone.
00:41:15Now I'm in charge.
00:41:16And if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
00:41:20Well, at least you got a key designer.
00:41:27What the hell is going on here?
00:41:29Just a creative disagreement.
00:41:32Everything's under control.
00:41:33The causing bitch.
00:41:34Tell me you have something presentable.
00:41:40Of course.
00:41:40I'm just finalizing some details.
00:41:42Show me.
00:41:44It's all quite ready.
00:41:45Now.
00:41:52This is garbage.
00:41:54Absolute garbage!
00:41:55I just need a little more time.
00:41:58We don't have more time.
00:41:59This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
00:42:01If she then gets this deal instead of us.
00:42:07What's that?
00:42:13It's just some inspiration.
00:42:15I record it for the design.
00:42:18I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
00:42:22Get me when you just want to wait till morning.
00:42:24Or pack up your desk by lunch.
00:42:26I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
00:42:53Right on cue.
00:43:03Meet that sketch ASAP.
00:43:06Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
00:43:09The absolute nerve of this woman.
00:43:14She'll get her sketch.
00:43:16And that's where we spin the trap.
00:43:17You're early.
00:43:32Beck.
00:43:33I really need that sketch.
00:43:34I said I'd help.
00:43:44Not hand over my design.
00:43:46Polly's all over me about this.
00:43:49If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
00:43:54Still lying, Mia.
00:43:56You never learn.
00:43:57Guess it's payback time.
00:43:59So.
00:44:00Do you want my help or not?
00:44:02I can walk you through it.
00:44:04Your design could be just as good.
00:44:06She's such a snake.
00:44:09Beck, my stomach is killing me.
00:44:12Can you run to the funnel and see and get something, please?
00:44:15Fine.
00:44:16But don't touch anything.
00:44:18Sorry, man.
00:44:46Survival of the fiddles.
00:44:47You just let her take your work?
00:45:02She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
00:45:07You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
00:45:11Go after the same clients.
00:45:13Show them what real design looks like.
00:45:15We're not out yet.
00:45:30I heard there's a revolution room.
00:45:37Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
00:45:39You're welcome, mom.
00:45:47I want you and your team as your van.
00:45:52Full creative control.
00:45:55Oh, Miranda, your husband's debt, handled.
00:45:59And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
00:46:02Mr. Chevalier, I'm Pauline.
00:46:07Your sister is in good hands.
00:46:10The best heart surgeon in the country is already prepping for her next surgery.
00:46:16Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
00:46:18Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
00:46:19Don't thank me.
00:46:20Don't thank me.
00:46:21Thank Victoria.
00:46:22I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
00:46:26Vincent, I...
00:46:27I don't even know what to say.
00:46:31It's about time you all get what you deserve.
00:46:34Mr. Chevalier, thank you for coming.
00:47:24We're here.
00:47:42And you're still here.
00:47:44Final tweaks.
00:47:45The pitch goes out tomorrow.
00:47:51You've got Grace to sleep.
00:47:54Yeah.
00:47:58And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
00:48:03Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
00:48:11Remember, smile.
00:48:13We're about to make history.
00:48:14Maison Laveau sets the bar.
00:48:20We don't follow trends.
00:48:22We create them.
00:48:28Satin black lapels.
00:48:31Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Metcala moment.
00:48:34A blend of tradition and boldness.
00:48:36I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
00:48:47What is that bitch doing here?
00:48:49Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
00:48:58My company is thriving because of your generosity.
00:49:03Didn't expect to see you here.
00:49:05I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
00:49:09I multitask.
00:49:13Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
00:49:18You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in waters.
00:49:23The office is so empty, it echoes.
00:49:25And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
00:49:31Proud of new women talk, you know.
00:49:33Three excellent reason if I'm the CEO.
00:49:36What's next?
00:49:36The sale?
00:49:39Laugh all you want, Holly.
00:49:41We're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
00:49:44And what real loyalty looks like.
00:49:55Sean, glad you could make it.
00:50:01We have something very special to show you.
00:50:06Pick.
00:50:11I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
00:50:14Congratulations.
00:50:16Thank you, Sean.
00:50:17It's good to see you.
00:50:19Let's begin the pitches.
00:50:22You ready to lose?
00:50:24You're out of your league.
00:50:25You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
00:50:36First up, me and McMichael, Maison Laveau.
00:50:57Next is Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:51:09Beautiful work.
00:51:11Both themes.
00:51:12We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
00:51:22After careful consideration, we're awarding Project 2.
00:51:30Maison Laveau.
00:51:31Oh, my God.
00:51:34Of course.
00:51:34This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
00:51:39What the hell did you people put me in?
00:51:51Are you trying to kill me?
00:51:52Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
00:51:56Who designed this tuxedo?
00:51:57Did you even read the brief?
00:52:02I mean, you must have read the brief.
00:52:05It's not complicated.
00:52:06It says no synthetic blend.
00:52:09I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
00:52:12Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
00:52:15A mistake?
00:52:16I could have ended up in the emergency room.
00:52:19Victoria, please, tell these amateurs
00:52:23why you pulled your last design.
00:52:31I pulled my design
00:52:33because the only fabric left was synthetic.
00:52:36I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
00:52:39And that's why Victoria's the best.
00:52:41She actually pays attention.
00:52:43After reviewing all the entries,
00:52:45the committee has reached a decision.
00:52:48The commission goes to
00:52:49Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:52:51Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
00:52:57Mia's design was the front runner all along.
00:53:00That's why they picked her first.
00:53:05Maybe everyone should see this.
00:53:13Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
00:53:16That's a new low.
00:53:22Even for you.
00:53:27Maison Laveau
00:53:28will be hearing from my liars.
00:53:31So you know,
00:53:32I will be supporting
00:53:34Victoria's case for design.
00:53:36That.
00:53:38Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
00:53:40We're suspending
00:53:42all collaborations.
00:53:53Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
00:53:57You're blacklisted.
00:54:03Victoria, please.
00:54:04Victoria, please.
00:54:15I'll do anything.
00:54:17Please just help me save the company,
00:54:19the brand you built for 15 years.
00:54:22You made your choices, Holly.
00:54:24Now you live with that.
00:54:28Why don't you go too far?
00:54:29Sean Gosling's look tonight
00:54:37is a dame junior
00:54:38crafted by the trailblazing team at Joben.
00:54:41Social media is already calling it
00:54:43the Winter Revolution.
00:54:52To the best comeback in fashion history
00:54:55and to the women who made it happen.
00:54:58and to the maternity leave
00:55:00that actually means something.
00:55:05Mom,
00:55:06you might want to see this.
00:55:17Happy birthday, Victoria.
00:55:22Happy birthday to you!
00:55:24Oh!
00:55:28You guys, look!
00:55:32Maison Laveau on the brink.
00:55:35Scandal pushes fashion giant
00:55:36towards bankruptcy.
00:55:38Ouch!
00:55:39I guess karma has a sense of humor.
00:55:42Strange, isn't it?
00:55:48I gave them everything.
00:55:49Late nights, weekends, all the best years,
00:55:53and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
00:55:57Now it's all crashing down.
00:55:58I thought I'd feel vindicated.
00:55:59Honestly, it's a weird mix.
00:56:01Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
00:56:03Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
00:56:07Look at this!
00:56:09Jeven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
00:56:19Victoria, this is you!
00:56:19You did this!
00:56:20Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
00:56:32Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
00:56:36Careful, Vincent.
00:56:38You must've forgot the best part.
00:56:46Bye.
00:56:51Victoria Windsor.
00:56:56Will you marry me?
00:56:57Yes!
00:57:02A thousand times, yes!
00:57:04Woo!
00:57:05Yeah!
00:57:05Woo!
00:57:17Woo!
00:57:18Woo!
00:57:25That's my damper!
00:57:27You came.
00:57:44I thought you'd want to see me like this.
00:57:47I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
00:57:51When word got out, you left.
00:57:53Clients failed.
00:57:54The word freaked.
00:57:57Numbers tanked.
00:57:58I couldn't stop it.
00:58:01You stood me as on the bow into this storm, Holly.
00:58:08I know.
00:58:10I know.
00:58:12My father...
00:58:14The stress gave him a heart attack.
00:58:16He won't even speak to me anymore.
00:58:19I destroyed everything.
00:58:20I thought slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
00:58:29I didn't mean to pretend like this.
00:58:32Maison Laveau isn't dead.
00:58:34I bought it.
00:58:36Last week.
00:58:38The brand.
00:58:39The archives.
00:58:40Even the debt.
00:58:42It's part of Jeven now.
00:58:43People, why would you do that?
00:58:47To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
00:58:55You win, Victoria.
00:58:57I hope you do better than I did.
00:59:00I'll do it differently.
00:59:04Goodbye, Holly.
00:59:05Miss Wintour, I just...
00:59:24I want to thank you.
00:59:27Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
00:59:31I can't keep working and have my baby.
00:59:37You changed everything.
00:59:40Congratulations.
00:59:42Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
00:59:54Ready?
00:59:58Always.
00:59:59Always.
01:00:01And now, Jorvin's new collection, designed by Victoria Wintour and Murthy.
