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.
00:01:20Twenty eight minutes!
00:01:22It's 28 minutes?
00:01:23The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
00:01:2627 now.
00:01:28Tik Tok.
00:01:29I'm done. Crisis averted.
00:01:52I swear to God, you're not human.
00:01:5427 minutes.
00:01:55Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in.
00:01:59This will shatter every record.
00:02:07Vet, are you okay?
00:02:11Just frax and hicks, nothing to...
00:02:14Oh my God, your water broke.
00:02:25Mom, you're seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
00:02:31Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin.
00:02:35Dad called.
00:02:37He wanted to know if he should come, but...
00:02:40I told him that he lost his visiting privileges
00:02:42since he decided that his assistants said he was more comfortable than ours.
00:02:48That's my girl.
00:02:58Well, the company's yours now, Holly.
00:03:01But there's a condition.
00:03:05We need to slash costs.
00:03:07Immediately.
00:03:09Layoffs.
00:03:09That's it without leave.
00:03:15Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
00:03:19Well, just remember,
00:03:21whoever cleaned up that Malayan disaster,
00:03:24they get immunity.
00:03:25In fact, um...
00:03:28They deserve a promotion.
00:03:29No way, Miss Victoria Wintour saved the company
00:03:35since she's not even there.
00:03:41Boss, the Milan collection crisis?
00:03:43A burden.
00:03:44Pre-orders are pouring in.
00:03:46You, you saved the entire collection?
00:03:48Impressive.
00:03:50Oh, actually.
00:03:52How about I make you the new creative director?
00:03:54Starting today.
00:03:55Oh, my God.
00:03:58Is this really happening?
00:04:00She's offering me Victoria's job?
00:04:03I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
00:04:10But, Victoria...
00:04:12Don't worry about her.
00:04:13I'm not useless.
00:04:14I'm just gonna fight her.
00:04:20You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
00:04:22I hid something in the design.
00:04:27Your initials and now little graces.
00:04:30Hold them right into the fabric.
00:04:37And that's the New Milan runway?
00:04:40Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
00:04:43Enough for your full tuition at private school.
00:04:46Mom, you don't have to.
00:04:48We're going to that private school.
00:04:50No discussion.
00:04:52Your sister and I will manage just fine.
00:04:55This job will keep us afloat.
00:04:58I love your mom.
00:05:09Holy shit, Holly Ashley thought I was the one who saved the company.
00:05:14After all these years in your shadow, Victoria,
00:05:17I'm finally taking what I deserve.
00:05:19Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
00:05:37Victoria Winter is terminated.
00:05:49Victoria Winter is terminated.
00:05:51Effective immediately.
00:05:53You can't just do that.
00:05:55She's in the hospital having her baby.
00:05:58There are lots 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, these preggos are bleeding us dry.
00:06:11Everything okay here?
00:06:15Great timing.
00:06:18Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
00:06:21Clear out your desk now.
00:06:23You'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.
00:06:41Well, that's ancient history.
00:06:45The word wants fresh blood.
00:06:48And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
00:06:53I'm the one who
00:06:57Mia, you
00:07:00Feel that curve.
00:07:04That's her signature.
00:07:06That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
00:07:12How 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.
00:07:36What happens to my team?
00:07:38Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
00:07:43Things got so bad she had to get hair, implants.
00:07:49Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the loo.
00:07:53These jobs are their lifelines.
00:07:55Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
00:07:58You can't just throw them away.
00:08:00Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
00:08:04No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection.
00:08:07But hey, that's corporate America for you.
00:08:11Or 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.
00:08:23Miranda'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.
00:08:37Come on, babe.
00:08:38Because they care about them.
00:08:40Prove it.
00:08:53That's my seventh package after 15 years.
00:09:20That's what I'm worth to them.
00:09:21Careful.
00:09:38I got you.
00:09:44Vincent?
00:09:46Vincent Chevalier.
00:09:48Hi.
00:09:51High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
00:10:04So, it's true.
00:10:06Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Rizan Laveau's Milan collection.
00:10:17How 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.
00:10:27What are you getting at, exactly?
00:10:29What are you getting at, exactly?
00:10:32I'm talking about you and me.
00:10:36Pardons.
00:10:38You're...
00:10:39genius.
00:10:40My money.
00:10:42No corporate BS.
00:10:43There's no one holding me back.
00:10:50I've got a baby to think about now.
00:10:53And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
00:10:59Just saying.
00:11:04Vincent Chevalier, wow.
00:11:06Oh, you didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
00:11:12That was my one.
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.
00:11:25Yeah.
00:11:26Before the vultures at LB or Chanel swoop in.
00:11:28Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
00:11:31Rescuing the washed-up single mom with outdated ideas.
00:11:36It's an interesting take to have, considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
00:11:42I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
00:11:46The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
00:11:50If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
00:11:55Shit, shit, shit.
00:11:58What are you talking about?
00:12:00Victoria designed all of this.
00:12:08Actually, those were my designs.
00:12:13What 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.
00:12:24Oops.
00:12:25Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
00:12:28I thought you were better than this, ma'am.
00:12:33Don't explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
00:12:43So what?
00:12:44Sketches get passed around all the time.
00:12:45It doesn't prove squat.
00:12:47Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
00:12:50This designer?
00:12:51I'm the logo.
00:12:53The 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.
00:13:05Make me shut up.
00:13:10It's funny.
00:13:10All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's doing.
00:13:15They all have EW and GW, so they're too.
00:13:20Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
00:13:23Her newborn is Grace Winter.
00:13:25It'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.
00:13:37Tell them you designed this.
00:13:39Tell them you saved Milan.
00:13:41The logo, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
00:13:49You lying little bitch.
00:13:52I thought promotion was by saving the company.
00:13:58Look at the logo again.
00:14:00It's not EW or GW.
00:14:04It's actually two M's.
00:14:07M-M for McMichael, my last name.
00:14:13See?
00:14:15One M flipped.
00:14:16One upright.
00:14:17It's not for Grace or Emily.
00:14:20It'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, maybe a little bitch.
00:14:33You 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.
00:14:48You don't have to sink to that level.
00:14:50Okay.
00:14:52I'm going to be driving home, Karen.
00:14:53My Ferrari's outside.
00:14:55When I got this, you shouldn't be carrying it.
00:15:03Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
00:15:07Just take care of your honor of Paulie, will you?
00:15:12That's right.
00:15:13Get the hell out of my company.
00:15:15Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
00:15:20Come on, Victoria.
00:15:28VIP invitation, Paris Fashion Week.
00:15:31Front row.
00:15:32I think you'll find it.
00:15:34Lightning.
00:15:34Every pregnant woman fired.
00:15:46All of us.
00:15:47Just like that.
00:15:49No severance.
00:15:51No warning.
00:15:52Nothing.
00:15:52But a box and a security escort.
00:15:55Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
00:16:04For termination people work.
00:16:06You paid for your sign and bonus made right in star.
00:16:10Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
00:16:12Your designs are eerily weighted.
00:16:17You should have kept your legs closed.
00:16:19Oh my god, mom.
00:16:30This is insane.
00:16:31I can't believe we're actually here.
00:16:33Victoria Winter.
00:16:35It's a nuclear vehicle.
00:16:37Your mom's basically a legend.
00:16:38You know that, right?
00:16:38We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
00:16:44Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
00:16:49Wait.
00:16:50Maison Léveau?
00:16:53Well, well.
00:16:54The queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
00:16:57Brave of you to show up here.
00:16:59What's next?
00:17:00Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
00:17:04Leaving so soon?
00:17:06You haven't introduced me to your princess.
00:17:08Is mommy dearest filled you in on your little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
00:17:17Mom, is that true?
00:17:22Don't worry.
00:17:23She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
00:17:27Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
00:17:30Still pretending she matters.
00:17:32My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
00:17:40If 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.
00:17:48It seems entitlement runs in the family.
00:17:50Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
00:17:54That's got a sting, huh?
00:17:56Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
00:18:02Hey, good news.
00:18:03There'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.
00:18:11That's enough.
00:18:12You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
00:18:20You never belonged in this world.
00:18:23Look at her.
00:18:24A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
00:18:28That dress.
00:18:30It'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.
00:18:42What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:18:47Remove that dress.
00:18:50We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
00:18:54Hey, stop it. Let go of my mom.
00:18:57And let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
00:19:01Take your hands off her now.
00:19:06Winston.
00:19:06You're dismissed.
00:19:21You all right?
00:19:25You all right?
00:19:27I'm fine.
00:19:28Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
00:19:30The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
00:19:34What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
00:19:38That knockoff?
00:19:40That you're so eager to trash her for?
00:19:43It's Chauvin.
00:19:46Look at the tour.
00:19:47Winter Collection.
00:19:48Not even released yet.
00:19:51Price tag?
00:19:52$300,000.
00:19:54Wow!
00:19:56You gave her that.
00:19:57That's right.
00:19:59You did.
00:20:01I 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 is not a white knight.
00:20:14He's her walking trust fund.
00:20:15Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
00:20:20It's just so predictably desperate.
00:20:27You really don't understand real talent, do you?
00:20:32For those of you who don't know me,
00:20:34I'm Vincent Chevalier, CEO of Jevent.
00:20:40Yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
00:20:45I have followed your career from a distance for years.
00:20:50Your brilliance.
00:20:52Your principles.
00:20:53Your passion.
00:20:56Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
00:20:59Mom, did you know about this?
00:21:02I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
00:21:06But in the meantime, what I will do
00:21:08is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
00:21:14She won't let you down, boss.
00:21:15You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
00:21:21She's nothing but a has-been.
00:21:24The show is about to start.
00:21:26Your seats are waiting.
00:21:33Holy shit.
00:21:35The industry Boldenboy and the creative powerhouse together?
00:21:37Talk about a power couple.
00:21:40I could run the entire industry.
00:21:43This isn't over, bitch.
00:21:45Wait till you see what I've prepared for.
00:21:47Do you think you're sleeping in love with my mom since high school?
00:22:04Some talents you recognize immediately.
00:22:09Some people do.
00:22:10Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show,
00:22:18I have an important announcement.
00:22:20This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
00:22:23She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
00:22:27It's true.
00:22:29It's true.
00:22:30She took my work and passed it off as her own.
00:22:33I slaved away on those designs, day and night.
00:22:39And 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?
00:22:50Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
00:22:54That's enough, Holly.
00:22:57Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
00:23:01Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
00:23:05Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
00:23:10That's her real design strategy.
00:23:12Stop it, Holly.
00:23:13You're embarrassing yourself.
00:23:15And those kids she's so proud of, who knows who their real products are?
00:23:20How dare you!
00:23:25Listen, please.
00:23:26Listen, Michael.
00:23:27It's a disaster in there.
00:23:29There's something wrong with the collection.
00:23:31It's the fabric.
00:23:32Not now.
00:23:38The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the light.
00:23:41The dresses are literally falling apart.
00:23:45We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
00:23:48Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Leval?
00:23:50Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
00:23:53This is completely unprofessional.
00:23:55I have 10 million invested in this collection.
00:23:59This is breach of contract.
00:24:03It's actually fixable.
00:24:06Paul, you can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
00:24:11Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
00:24:15Maison Leval appears to be inputting underneath new leadership.
00:24:19Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
00:24:23A question on everyone's mind?
00:24:25Is this the end for everyone's prestigious fashion books?
00:24:32This show doesn't happen.
00:24:34You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
00:24:37We're talking billions, Holly.
00:24:40Billions.
00:24:40What's this?
00:25:06Now.
00:25:06How?
00:25:08The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
00:25:12I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
00:25:16You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
00:25:19If 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.
00:25:28Because if you don't, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
00:25:33Miss Winter, how do you respond to the accusations over design theft?
00:25:50Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
00:25:54Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
00:25:57And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
00:26:01Miss Winter, we're gathering evidence as we speak.
00:26:15Excuse me.
00:26:17Excuse me.
00:26:18What do you want, Mia?
00:26:33Vic, 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.
00:26:43Yes, I would be too.
00:26:45But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
00:26:48What about them?
00:26:49Their jobs are on the line with the show.
00:26:52If we tank, they're done.
00:26:54Holly will fire them without a second thought.
00:26:57Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just pull this out with your head.
00:27:03Miranda and Pauline are responsible for the show.
00:27:05Yes, absolutely.
00:27:06And they're counting on this being a hit.
00:27:10Please, Vic, not for me.
00:27:13For them.
00:27:14At first, we...
00:27:15I 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...
00:27:25They couldn't make it.
00:27:27Holly cut the travel budget.
00:27:30Is that right?
00:27:31Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
00:27:37They do.
00:27:39Fine.
00:27:42I'll help you.
00:27:43But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
00:27:46Not for you.
00:27:58Oh my God.
00:27:59It's Victoria Winter.
00:28:01It's a nuclear beck.
00:28:03I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric now.
00:28:12I need royal fuchsia for the stitching.
00:28:15Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
00:28:18Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
00:28:23Would this work?
00:28:24Vincent, how did you...
00:28:34I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
00:28:39This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors.
00:28:47Why 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.
00:29:05I don't want your design, Victoria.
00:29:10Then what do you want?
00:29:13You.
00:29:15What?
00:29:16Your 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 hate it when I'm gone.
00:29:45I wish I was cool.
00:29:47Like the new girl is cool.
00:29:49I regret it.
00:29:50So 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.
00:30:04She's doing a minute.
00:30:06What would have taken us hours?
00:30:09Whoa.
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.
00:30:25Five minutes till showtime.
00:30:26We made it.
00:30:36Well, do we pull the plug or not?
00:30:43We're good.
00:30:44Everything's back on track.
00:30:46See?
00:30:47I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
00:30:50You've got twice your talent.
00:30:53Yeah.
00:30:54Right.
00:30:55This is exactly why I promoted you.
00:30:57Your business is not Nathan.
00:30:59To Victoria.
00:31:09The real hero of the night.
00:31:21Mom, you're insane.
00:31:23I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
00:31:27Couldn't have done it without you.
00:31:31You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
00:31:36Well, well, still hanging around.
00:31:44I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
00:31:47Fraud.
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.
00:31:57Any of them.
00:31:59Oh, and Mia.
00:32:01Don't forget about our agreement.
00:32:03About Miranda and Pauline.
00:32:04Two new beginnings at Chauvin?
00:32:20Speaking of new beginnings, Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
00:32:27I want to help with her education.
00:32:31What?
00:32:32Vincent, that's too much.
00:32:34We barely know each other.
00:32:36Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
00:32:42I remember watching you win that regional competition.
00:32:47In that silver dress.
00:32:48The one you made from scratch.
00:32:50I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
00:32:58You remember that?
00:33:00I remember everything.
00:33:03I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
00:33:10Why didn't you ever reach out?
00:33:11Why didn't you ever reach out?
00:33:13You were married.
00:33:16And then you were...
00:33:17And then you were building your career.
00:33:21The timing was never right.
00:33:25Until now.
00:33:26I have been waiting for 20 years to live.
00:33:39I should probably get this.
00:33:55Mia?
00:33:56God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
00:34:11That Milan disaster you turned around?
00:34:13Absolute magic.
00:34:14And 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?
00:34:28The very one, three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive.
00:34:33And if we play our cards right, the 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.
00:34:44For the brand.
00:34:46Where it is, Joe Ben's in the running too.
00:34:49Lanthus, Vincent, and poor Victoria are done.
00:34:52Seal the deal?
00:34:57I'll bump your pay by 20%.
00:34:59I've got this, Holly.
00:35:02You won't regret it.
00:35:10God, what am I going to do?
00:35:12I can't design menswear.
00:35:14I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
00:35:17Miranda and Paulina are gone too.
00:35:19I'm completely on my own.
00:35:21And if Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
00:35:30maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over her.
00:35:33Thanks for meeting me.
00:35:56I know things are complicated between us.
00:35:58You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
00:36:01Cut to the chase.
00:36:05We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks.
00:36:08Miranda and Pauline are also in the...
00:36:09Miranda's excellent at menswear.
00:36:11She can handle this without me.
00:36:12Please, wait.
00:36:13There'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?
00:36:25Pauline'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?
00:36:48What concept?
00:36:49What concept?
00:36:49What concept?
00:36:49What?
00:36:49What?
00:36:49What?
00:36:50What?
00:36:50What?
00:36:50What?
00:36:50What?
00:36:51What?
00:36:51What?
00:36:53Well...
00:37:08Perfect.
00:37:08She'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, Holly'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.
00:37:47Daniela...
00:37:49You need to know her.
00:37:52Take all the time you need.
00:37:55Mia...
00:37:56Don't make me regret trusting me...
00:37:58Again.
00:38:04Not me.
00:38:12Can I have any idea?
00:38:13Pumpkin, I need a quick favor. Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
00:38:24The Sean Gosselin one with the black iron lapels?
00:38:27That's the one. Can you check my home office? It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
00:38:34Got it. Grace is napping. The perfect timing.
00:38:38Thanks, sweetie. I just need to double check something about that.
00:38:43Shoulder.
00:38:48Mom, are you okay?
00:38:54Miranda?
00:38:56Vic?
00:39:01Mom! Mom! What's going on?
00:39:04Emily, I'll call you right back.
00:39:08Miranda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
00:39:12The hells don't pay themselves.
00:39:14You met my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
00:39:21Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
00:39:25What? Is that a story she's spinning now?
00:39:29After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company. No severance, no copper and nothing. Just gone.
00:39:40That's completely illegal.
00:39:42Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause. All at once. What are the odds, right?
00:39:51And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours diner. Her 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. Didn't even blink. Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
00:40:18She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me. Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
00:40:25What? That bitch!
00:40:29This ends now.
00:40:38Damn it!
00:40:44My name is Miss Michael.
00:40:45He's just arrived from Milan. We need approval by name.
00:40:49Can't you see I'm working on something important?
00:40:59What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
00:41:04Victoria would never treat us.
00:41:08I heard that.
00:41:10You think Victoria is so perfect?
00:41:13Then where is she now?
00:41:15Gone.
00:41:16Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
00:41:20Well, at least you've got a key designer.
00:41:22What the hell is going on here?
00:41:30Just a creative disagreement. Everything's under control.
00:41:34The gossip bitch, tell me you have something presentable.
00:41:40Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
00:41:43Show me.
00:41:45It's not quite ready.
00:41:46Now.
00:41:52This is garbage.
00:41:55Absolute garbage!
00:41:57I just need a little more time.
00:41:58We don't have more time.
00:41:59This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
00:42:02If she then gets this deal instead of us.
00:42:08What's that?
00:42:14It's just some inspiration I recorded 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.
00:42:51I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
00:42:56Right on cue.
00:42:59Right 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 when we spin the trap.
00:43:26You're early.
00:43:28Vic.
00:43:29I really need that sketch.
00:43:31I said I'd help.
00:43:32Not hand over my design.
00:43:34Polly's all over me about this.
00:43:36If I don't have something tonight.
00:43:38Miranda and Pauline are toast.
00:43:40Still lying Mia.
00:43:41You never learn.
00:43:42Guess it's payback time.
00:43:43So.
00:43:44Do you want my help or not?
00:43:45I can walk you through it.
00:43:46Your design could be just as good.
00:43:47She's such a snake.
00:43:48Vic.
00:43:49Vic.
00:43:50My stomach is killing me.
00:43:51Can you run to the final scene and get something please?
00:43:52Fine.
00:43:53Don't touch.
00:43:54I don't touch.
00:43:55I don't know.
00:43:56I don't know.
00:43:57I don't know.
00:43:58I don't know.
00:43:59I don't know.
00:44:00I don't know.
00:44:01I don't know.
00:44:02I don't know.
00:44:03I don't know.
00:44:04You haven't even seen that.
00:44:05I don't know.
00:44:06The bed were you?
00:44:07I don't know.
00:44:08I don't know.
00:44:09I don't know.
00:44:10But you're in, you can see.
00:44:11Your design could be just as good.
00:44:12She's such a snake.
00:44:13Vic.
00:44:14My stomach is killing me.
00:44:15Can you run to the final scene and get something please.
00:44:17Fine.
00:44:18But don't touch anything.
00:44:34Sorry, man.
00:44:46Survival of the fiddles.
00:44:59You just let her take you to 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.
00:45:16We're not out yet.
00:45:17Oh, there's a revolution, bro.
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 dead, handled.
00:45:58And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
00:46:03Mr. Chevalier, I...
00:46:06I'm Pauline.
00:46:08Your sister is in good hands.
00:46:10The best heart surgeon in the country.
00:46:13She's already prepping for her neck surgery.
00:46:16Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
00:46:19Don't thank me.
00:46:21Thank Victoria.
00:46:22I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
00:46:24Vince and I, I don't even know what to say.
00:46:31It's about time you all get what you deserve.
00:47:34We'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.
00:47:56Yeah.
00:47:58And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
00:48:00Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
00:48:11Remember, smile.
00:48:13We're about to make history.
00:48:17Maison Laveau sets the bar.
00:48:20We don't follow trends.
00:48:22We create them.
00:48:23Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Metcala moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
00:48:37I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
00:48:41What is that bitch doing here?
00:48:49Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
00:48:57My company's 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.
00:49:14Unlike 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.
00:49:26And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
00:49:30Proud of new women talk, you know.
00:49:33Three X and 3s and a vibe of CEO.
00:49:36What's next?
00:49:36A big 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.
00:49:46Sean, 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.
00:50:15Thank 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.
00:50:45Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:50:59Beautiful work.
00:51:11Both themes.
00:51:16We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
00:51:18After careful consideration, we're awarding Project 2.
00:51:30Maison Laveau.
00:51:31Oh my God.
00:51:34Of course.
00:51:35This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
00:51:47What 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?
00:51:58Did 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.
00:52:09But, I 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 because 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 Victoria, Miranda, and Paul Mee.
00:52:54Mr. 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.
00:53:09Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
00:53:20Not to me, Lowe.
00:53:22Even for you.
00:53:26Maison Laveau.
00:53:28We'll be hearing from my liars.
00:53:31So you know.
00:53:32I will be supporting Victoria's case for design night.
00:53:38Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
00:53:41We're suspending all collaborations.
00:53:53Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
00:53:56Victoria's case, you're blacklisted.
00:54:03Victoria, please.
00:54:13Victoria, please.
00:54:16I'll do anything.
00:54:17Please just help me save the company,
00:54:19the brand you built for 15 years.
00:54:21You made your choices, Holly.
00:54:24Now you live with that.
00:54:28Why don't you go too far?
00:54:36Sean Gosling's look tonight is 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.
00:54:44To 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, you might want to see this.
00:55:08Happy birthday, Victoria.
00:55:22Happy birthday to you!
00:55:24Happy birthday to you!
00:55:28Guys, 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.
00:55:42It's strange, isn't it?
00:55:48I gave them everything.
00:55:50Late nights, weekends,
00:55:52all the best years,
00:55:54and they tossed us aside
00:55:55like we were nothing.
00:55:57Now it's all crashing down.
00:55:59I thought I'd feel vindicated.
00:56:02Honestly, it's a weird mix.
00:56:05Relief, sure, but
00:56:06also a little bit.
00:56:08Great.
00:56:09Look, who said that our best years
00:56:11are behind us?
00:56:12Look at this!
00:56:15Jeven pushes for
00:56:17pay, leave, and parental support
00:56:18across all industries.
00:56:21Victoria, this is you!
00:56:23You did this!
00:56:26Here's to a future
00:56:27where women don't have to choose
00:56:29between their families
00:56:30and their careers.
00:56:31not just for us,
00:56:33but for every woman
00:56:34who comes after.
00:56:36Careful, Vincent.
00:56:38You must forgot the best part.
00:56:41Bye.
00:56:42Victoria Winsor.
00:56:54Will you marry me?
00:57:02Yes!
00:57:03A thousand times yes!
