00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:12The system crashed mid-upload.
00:14Half the collection was the wrong season.
00:16Wrong everything.
00:2248 hours.
00:24If productions start with these botched designs,
00:26we're all dead.
00:28Not just fired, but his head.
00:30Company collapses, our careers are over.
00:32Come out here and talk to us.
00:34We have eight million tied up in this collection.
00:37I have a fashion editor from Mo.
00:39Right now, one word for me,
00:41your industry poison.
00:43Enough.
00:58Vic!
01:00Mia, Japanese indigo.
01:04Miranda, call production emergency protocol seven.
01:08Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:15Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:1928 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2327 now.
01:25Tick tock.
01:45I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:47I swear to god, you're not human.
01:5027 minutes.
01:52Holy shit.
01:53Pre-orders are flooding in.
01:54This will shatter every record.
02:03Vic!
02:04Are you okay?
02:07Just Brax and Hicks, nothing to-
02:09Oh my god, your water broke.
02:12Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:26Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:28Dad called.
02:31He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:43That's my girl.
02:44Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
02:59We need to slash costs immediately.
03:03Layoffs?
03:07Absent without leave.
03:10Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:12Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:19In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:26No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:34Boss, the Milan collection crisis, a burden.
03:38Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:39You, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:43Oh, actually.
03:45How about I make you the new creative director?
03:48Starting today.
03:50Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:53She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:56I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
03:58But, Victoria...
03:59Don't worry about her. I'm not useless. I'm going to smack fire.
04:09You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:14I hid something in the design.
04:19Your initials and now little graces.
04:23Hold them right into the fabric.
04:29And that's going to be a Milan runway?
04:32Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:35Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:38Mom, you can't have to.
04:40We're going to that private school.
04:42No discussion.
04:44Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:47This job will keep us afloat.
04:49I love you, Mom.
04:50Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:05After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:20Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:36What the hell?
05:38Listen up, everyone.
05:40Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:42Effective immediately.
05:44You can't just do that.
05:46She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:47They're a loss against this.
05:50Vic worked while in labor.
05:52She's the creative backbone of Maison Nouveau.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:58These preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:06Great timing.
06:08Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:11Clear out your desk now.
06:18You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:23I saved this company three times when your father could have made payroll.
06:27How many times?
06:31Well...
06:33That's ancient history.
06:35The board wants fresh blood.
06:37And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:40What?
06:45I'm the one who...
06:48Mia, you...
06:51Feel that curve?
06:53That's her signature.
06:55That's what makes it Maison Nouveau.
07:01How could you?
07:03I taught you everything you know.
07:04I wish things were different, Vic.
07:13I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:18What happens to my team?
07:24Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:32Things got so bad she had to get hair.
07:35Implants.
07:37Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the loo.
07:40These jobs are their lifelines.
07:43Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:46You can't just throw them away.
07:48Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:51No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:58Or, we can shift the math.
08:01You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:05Think of it as...
08:08Taking one for the team.
08:11Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:14And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:17They can't lose their jobs.
08:23Come on, Vic.
08:24You say you care about them.
08:26Prove it.
08:35You say now?
08:36What if I have sex with a woman?
08:38No.
08:39No.
08:40No.
08:42No, no.
08:44No.
08:46No, no, no.
08:49No, no.
08:50No, no.
08:52No, no, no, no.
08:54No, no, no.
08:56No, no, no.
08:58No, no, no, no, no.
09:00And then, again, we will get back to the bed for the program.
09:02Five grand.
09:03That's my severance package after 15 years. That's what I'm worth to them.
09:21Careful. I got you.
09:29Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:33Hi. High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:48So, it's true.
09:52Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Mison LeBeau's Milan collection.
09:58How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:08Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:11What are you getting at exactly?
10:15I'm talking about you and me.
10:20Partners. You're genius. My money.
10:24No corporate BS. No one holding you back.
10:33I've got a baby to think about now.
10:36And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:42Just saying.
10:43Vincent Chevalier. Wow.
10:44I didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
10:54Got your spine here?
10:55Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
11:04Triple her salary, corner office.
11:07You know, before the vultures at LB or Chanel swoop in.
11:11Mom, so you're dumpster diving now?
11:14Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:18Wow, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:24I mean, the jacket, it's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:29The earrings, it's Victoria's collaboration with Picardier.
11:31If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:38Shit, shit, shit.
11:40What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this.
11:49Actually, those were my designs.
11:55What did you just say?
11:57The spring collection. The Cartier pieces.
11:59I designed them. Under your supervision, of course, but they came for me.
12:05Oops. Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:09I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:12Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:23So what? Sketches get past her all the time, it doesn't prove squat.
12:26Maybe she was your little, what do they call it, dress designer?
12:32And the logo?
12:36The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
12:40It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:43Hold me, explain it and make me shut up.
12:45It's funny. All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their life.
12:56They all have EW and GW so many, too.
12:59Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter. Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:04It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:11Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:15Well, Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.
13:20The logo, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:28You lying little bitch!
13:31That promotion was for saving the company!
13:33Look at the logo again. It's not EW or GW. It's actually two M's.
13:46MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:52See? One M flipped, one upright.
13:56It's not for Grace or Emily. It's mine.
14:00That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:04Oh my god, she's right. It does look more like two M's.
14:09You manipulated bitch. You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:15You learned well, Mia. Maybe too well.
14:20You'll regret this.
14:23What? We don't have to sink to that level.
14:26Okay. Then let me drive you home, Mary. My Ferrari's outside.
14:32I got this. You shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
14:39Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:43Just take care of my daughter and Paulie, will you?
14:46That's right. Get the hell out of my company. Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:54Oh, I'm Victoria.
15:04VIP invitation. Paris Fashion Week. Front row. I think you'll find it. Enlightening.
15:11Every pregnant woman fired. All of us. Just like that. No severance. No warning. Nothing. But a box and a security escort.
15:30Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities. Their termination paperwork practically paid for your signing bonus my writing star.
15:44Now, about Paris Fashion Week. Your designs are eagerly weighted.
15:49Should've kept your legs closed.
15:52Oh my god, mom. This is insane. I can't believe we're actually here.
16:09Victoria Wintour. It's a nuclear vic. Your mom's basically a legend. You know that, right?
16:13We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau. Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:24Wait. Maison Léveau?
16:27Well, well. The queen without her crown graces us for her presence. Brave of you to show up here.
16:34What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:39Leaving so soon? You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:43Has mommy dearest filled you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:51Mom, is that true?
16:56Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:01Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour. Still pretending she matters.
17:05My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room. If Maison Léveau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn!
17:19Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:23Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:27That's got a sting, huh? Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
17:32But hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hard-working children. If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:42That's enough.
17:48That's enough.
17:50You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.
17:55Look at her. A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:00That dress, it's a cheap knockoff.
18:06Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:09It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:16What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:19Remove that dress.
18:21We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:25Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:27Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:32Take your hands off her now.
18:37Vincent.
18:43You're dismissed.
18:52You alright?
18:57I'm sorry.
18:58Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:02The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:05What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:09That knockoff that you're so here to trash her for?
19:14It's Chevenne.
19:16Bout Couture. Winter Collection.
19:19Not even released yet.
19:21Price tag?
19:23$300,000.
19:24Wow!
19:26You gave her that.
19:27That's right.
19:29I did.
19:31I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:35Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:38Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy!
19:41Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
19:44He's her walking trust fund.
19:48Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:50It's just so predictably desperate.
19:53You really don't understand real talent.
19:59Do you?
20:01For those of you who don't know me.
20:03I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:06CEO of Jevenne.
20:08And yes.
20:10I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:14I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:18Your brilliance.
20:20Your principles.
20:22Your passion.
20:24Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:28Mom, did you know about this?
20:30I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:34But in the meantime, what I will do
20:37is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:42She won't let you down, boss.
20:47You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:50She's nothing but a has-been.
20:52The show is about to start.
20:54Your seats are waiting.
21:01Holy shit.
21:02The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:06Talk about a power couple.
21:08They could run the entire industry.
21:11This isn't over, bitch.
21:13Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:24So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:27What?
21:31Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:36Some people, too.
21:42Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:47This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:50She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:55It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:58I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
22:04And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:08That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:09Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:10That's enough, Holly.
22:11Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:13Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:17Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:19That's her real design strategy.
22:21Stop it, Holly.
22:22You're embarrassing yourself.
22:23And those kids she's so proud of?
22:25Who knows who they're real?
22:26Who knows who they're real?
22:27Who knows who they're real?
22:28That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:29That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:30Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:33That's enough, Holly.
22:34The industry?
22:35That's her real design strategy.
22:37Stop it, Holly.
22:38You're embarrassing yourself.
22:40And those kids she's so proud of?
22:42Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:46How dare you!
22:50Miss Jenkins, nothing, Michaels.
22:52It's a disaster in there.
22:54There's something wrong with the collection.
22:55It's the fabric.
22:57Not now.
22:58The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:07The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:10We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:13Is this some kind of sick joke, Maisa Mova?
23:15Are you cancelling the show because of your incompetence?
23:18This is completely unprofessional.
23:20I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:24This is breach of contract.
23:25It's actually fixable.
23:31Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping you backstabbing vultures.
23:37Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:40Maisa Mova appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:43Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled minutes before showtime.
23:47The question on everyone's mind?
23:49Is this the end for the once prestigious fashion books?
23:55If this show doesn't happen, you're personally liable for the breach penalties.
24:00We're talking billions, Holly.
24:03Billions.
24:25Fix this.
24:27Fix this.
24:29Now.
24:31How? The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:35I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:38You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:41If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:44That's billions of dollars.
24:46Then you better figure something out.
24:48Because if you don't, not only are you fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
24:54Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
25:11Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:14Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:18And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:22We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:24Excuse me.
25:38Excuse me.
25:40It's okay, Pumpkin. I'll be right back.
25:48What do you want, Mia?
25:49Vic, I really need your help.
25:53Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:59Look, I know you're furious. I would be too.
26:05But think about Miranda and Philippe for a second.
26:08What about them?
26:10Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:12If we tank, they're done. Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:16Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just pull this out.
26:22Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:25Yes, absolutely. And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:29Please, Vic, not for me. For them. Please, Vic.
26:35I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.
26:39What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:41They, they couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.
26:49Is that right?
26:51Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
26:56They do.
26:58Fine.
27:00I'll help you.
27:02But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline. Not for you.
27:05Not for you.
27:17Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter. The nuclear beck.
27:21I need scissors, thread and fresh lining fabric. Now.
27:24I need royal fuchsia for this stitching. Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric. Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:41Will this work?
27:42Vincent, how did you...?
27:43I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven as an emergency kit.
28:00This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Lavo are competitors. Why would you help them?
28:05I'm not helping them. I'm helping you.
28:12I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:16I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone. It's yours now.
28:23I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:27Then what do you want?
28:30You.
28:32What?
28:33You're a talent. You're a vision. Come and work as Joven.
28:43I'm in. I'll work for you.
28:47Just like that?
28:49Just like that. Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Lavo.
28:53I hate it when I'm calling through. I wish I was cool. Like the new girl at school. I regret it. So I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get it. I want me back. Don't ever take you. I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:19She's doing it in minutes. What would have taken us hours.
29:24Whoa. No wonder they call her the Nuclear Vic.
29:27It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing. The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:35Learn how to be myself.
29:40Five minutes till show time. We made it.
29:42Well? Do we pull the plug or not?
29:58We're good. Everything's back on track.
30:01See? I knew firing Victoria was the right call. You've got twice your talent.
30:05Yeah. Right.
30:09This is exactly why I promoted you. You fix this, it's not make them.
30:20To Victoria. The real hero of the night.
30:24Mom, you're insane. I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:41Couldn't have done it without you.
30:45You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
30:49Well, well, still hanging around. I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party. Fraud.
31:02Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:06What are you talking about?
31:08Just ask the models. Any of them.
31:10Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement. About Miranda and Pauline. I-I won't.
31:24Two new beginnings at Jovent.
31:33Speaking of new beginnings, Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:38I want to help with their education.
31:43What? Vincent, that's too much. We barely know each other.
31:48Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
31:53I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress, the one you made from scratch.
32:02I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:10You remember that?
32:12I remember everything.
32:15I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:22Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:24You were married.
32:26And then you weren't.
32:29And then you were building your career.
32:32The timing just...
32:34was never right.
32:36Until now.
32:37I have been waiting for 20 years to do this.
32:50I-I should probably get this.
33:05Mia?
33:06God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:21That Milan disaster you turned around? Absolute magic.
33:25And now I have an opportunity that can put you on the map for good.
33:28Shawn Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:35Shawn Gosling?
33:37The Shawn Gosling?
33:38The very one.
33:40Three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:43And if you play our cards right, the next face of the Maison Levois handswear.
33:48They're taking pitches now.
33:50If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:53For you, for the brand.
33:55Where it is, Joven's in the running too.
33:58Lampus, Vincent, and support Victoria are done.
34:05Seal the deal?
34:07I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:09I've got this, Holly. You won't regret it.
34:19God, what am I gonna do?
34:21I can't design menswear.
34:23I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:25Miranda and Pauline are gone too.
34:28I'm completely on my own.
34:30If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria, maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over.
34:40One more miracle over.
34:41One more miracle over.
34:42For you she needs to explain.
34:43She picks you up for astanden murder.
34:44Who is it?
34:45Oh wait, I'm going to walk off the man too, who is for her.
34:46Heh, thanks for meeting me.
34:48I know things are complicated between us.
34:50You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
34:53Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.
35:06You mentioned Miranda and Pauline. Cut to the chase.
35:12We're pitching for Sean's Oscar text. Miranda and Pauline are also...
35:16Miranda's excellent with menswear. She can handle this without me.
35:19Please, wait. There's more to it.
35:21After Paris, Holly needed someone to play for the fabric disaster.
35:25Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block. I've been fighting for them.
35:30Are you serious? Holly's due any day now.
35:33Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot.
35:36If we land it, I can payment to Holly to keep them both.
35:40Have you worked with Sean before?
35:42No, but I've heard you have.
35:44Ages ago, I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
35:48Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison Valor.
35:53Really? What concept?
35:55Well...
36:00Perfect. She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:17I'll use her design to save my ass and lay on this project.
36:22Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:25I do.
36:27Actually, I...
36:28I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
36:32Wait.
36:34Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:36How exactly is she part of this project?
36:38Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:44Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:47Of course, Vic.
36:50Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:55You need to know how to.
36:57Take all the time you need.
36:59Mia.
37:00Don't make me regret trusting you.
37:03Again.
37:22Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:24Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:27The Sean Gosselin one with the black satin lapels?
37:31That's the one.
37:33Can you check my home office?
37:34It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:38Got it.
37:40Grace is napping.
37:41The perfect timing.
37:42Thanks, sweetie.
37:43I just need to double check something about the...
37:48Shoulder.
37:50Instruction.
37:52Mom, are you okay?
37:57Miranda?
37:59Vic?
38:04Mom, mom, what's going on?
38:08Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:11Miranda, what happened?
38:13Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:15Bills don't pay themselves.
38:18You met my husband, old child, with no paycheck,
38:21and now there's a newborn at home.
38:24Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
38:28What?
38:29Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:33After you left,
38:35she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:38No severance, no copper, nothing.
38:40Just gone.
38:42That's completely illegal.
38:44Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
38:50All at once.
38:52What are the odds, right?
38:54And Polly,
38:55working night shifts at 24 hours diar,
38:58her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:06And Mia knew about all this.
39:09Mia.
39:10Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
39:13It didn't even blink.
39:16Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
39:21She's been using you and Polly to manipulate me.
39:24Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:27What?
39:28That bitch.
39:32This ends now.
39:39Damn it.
39:43Miss Michael.
39:46She's just arrived from Milan.
39:48We need approval by noon for them.
39:50Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:52What are y'all looking at?
40:03Get back to work.
40:05Victoria would never treat us.
40:09I heard that.
40:10You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:13Then where is she now?
40:15Gone.
40:16Now I'm in charge.
40:17If anyone has a problem with that,
40:19there's the door.
40:20Well, at least you can actually design it.
40:27What the hell is going on here?
40:30Just a great disagreement.
40:32Everything's in control.
40:33The gosling page.
40:34Tell me you have something presentable.
40:36Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:42Show me.
40:44It's not quite ready.
40:45Now.
40:51This is garbage.
40:54Absolute garbage.
40:56I just need a little more time.
40:57We don't have more time.
40:58This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:01If Chauvin gets this deal instead of us...
41:03What's that?
41:13It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:18I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil,
41:21get me a winner designed way till morning,
41:24or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:29Mama.
41:30I still can't believe they're using this as leverage.
41:57Right on cue.
41:58Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:04Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:08The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:12She'll get her a sketch.
42:14And that's where we spring the trap.
42:15You're early, Vic.
42:30I really need that sketch.
42:33I said I'd help.
42:42Not hand over my design.
42:44Holly's all over me about this.
42:46If I don't have something tonight,
42:48Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:51Still lying, Mia.
42:53You never learn.
42:55Guess it's payback time.
42:56So, do you want my help or not?
42:59I can walk you through it.
43:01Your design could be just as good.
43:03She's such a snake.
43:06Vic, my stomach is killing me.
43:09Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:12Fine.
43:12Don't touch anything.
43:15Don't touch anything.
43:15Sorry, Vic.
43:42Survival of the fittest.
43:43You just let her take your work?
43:58She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
44:03You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
44:07Go after the same clients.
44:09Show them what real design looks like.
44:12We're not out yet.
44:13Oh, there's a revolution, bro.
44:32I figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:35You're welcome, mom.
44:42I want you and your team as your van.
44:47Full creative control.
44:51I'm Miranda.
44:52Your husband's debt.
44:53Handled.
44:55And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:57Mr. Chevalier, I...
44:59Mr. Chevalier, I...
45:01I'm Pauline.
45:03Your sister is in good hands.
45:05The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:08She's already prepping for her next surgery.
45:10Mr. Chevalier!
45:12Thank you!
45:14Don't thank me.
45:15Thank Victoria.
45:17I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:19Vincent, I...
45:21Vincent, I...
45:22I don't even know what to say.
45:25It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:28I don't know what to say.
46:28And you're still here?
46:38Final tweaks. The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:44You've got Grace to sleep.
46:49Yeah.
46:51And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:54Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:06We're about to make history.
47:11Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:13We don't follow trends, we create them.
47:16Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:30I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:33What is that bitch doing here?
47:46Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:50My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:56I didn't expect to see you here.
47:58I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:06Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:11You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
48:15The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:18And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:23Pregnant women talk, you know.
48:25Three ex-employees and a rival CEO.
48:28What's next?
48:28A fake sale?
48:31Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:32You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:35And what real loyalty looks like.
48:38Sean, I'm glad you could make it.
48:53We have something very special to show you.
48:58Vic.
49:02I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:06Congratulations.
49:07Thank you, Sean.
49:09It's good to see you.
49:11Let's begin the pitches.
49:14You ready to lose?
49:15You're out of your league.
49:17You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:28First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:48Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:51Beautiful work.
50:02Both themes.
50:07We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:09After careful consideration, we're awarding Project 2.
50:20Maison Laveau.
50:21What?
50:22Yes!
50:23Oh my god.
50:24Of course.
50:26This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:29What the hell did you people put me in? Are you trying to kill me?
50:44Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk. Who designed this tuxedo?
50:49Did you even read the brief?
50:53I mean, you must have read the brief. It's not complicated.
50:57It says, no synthetic blend. I mean, it must be some kind of mistake. Perhaps Nia overlooked something.
51:05A mistake? I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:10Victoria, please, tell these amateurs why you pulled your last design.
51:15I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:27I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
51:31And that's why Victoria's the best. She actually pays attention.
51:34After reviewing all of the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
51:39The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:45Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:48Nia's design was the front runner all along.
51:51That's why they picked her first.
51:56Maybe everyone should see this.
51:58Wait, Nia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:12That's a new low. Even for you.
52:19Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:22And so you know, I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
52:30Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:33We're suspending all collaborations.
52:45Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:48You're blacklisted.
52:52Victoria, please.
53:06Victoria, please.
53:09I'll do anything.
53:10Please just help me save the company, the brand you built for 15 years.
53:15You made your choices, Holly.
53:18Now you live with them.
53:19Why didn't we go too far?
53:29Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game-changer crafted by the trailblazing team at JoVen.
53:34Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
53:37To the best comeback in fashion history, and to the women who made it happen.
53:55And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:58Mom, you might want to see this.
54:14Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:18Happy birthday to you!
54:21Guys, look!
54:29Maison Laveau on the brink?
54:31Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:34Ouch!
54:35I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:38It's strange, isn't it?
54:40I gave them everything.
54:49Late nights, weekends, all the best years, and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:56Now it's all crashing down.
54:58I thought I'd feel vindicated.
55:00Honestly, it's a weird mix.
55:02Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
55:07Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
55:11Look at this!
55:14JoVen pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
55:20Victoria, this is you!
55:21You did this!
55:24Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
55:29Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
55:34Careful, Vincent.
55:36You almost forgot the best part.
55:49Victoria Winterer.
55:53Will you marry me?
55:59Will you marry me?
56:29Come on.
56:29Come on.
56:29Come on.
56:45You came.
56:46I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:49I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:52When word got out you left.
56:54Clients bailed.
56:55The board freaked.
56:58Numbers tanked.
57:00I couldn't stop it.
57:02You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
57:05I know.
57:19I know.
57:20My father.
57:20My father.
57:24The stress gave him a heart attack.
57:26He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:28I destroyed everything.
57:31My thoughts, slash, and costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:38I didn't mean for it to end like this.
57:41Maison Laveau isn't dead.
57:43I bought it.
57:44I bought it last week.
57:46The brand.
57:48The archives.
57:49Even the debt.
57:51It's part of Gevin now.
57:53You bought it?
57:54Why would you do that?
57:55To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
58:03You win, Victoria.
58:06I hope you do better than I did.
58:09I'll do it differently.
58:12Goodbye, Holly.
58:25Miss Wintour, I just, I wanted to thank you.
58:39Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
58:44I can keep working and have my baby.
58:49You changed everything.
58:51Congratulations, wishing you and your little one every happiness.
59:05Ready?
59:10Always.
59:21And now, Gevin's new collection.
