00:00:00Shit! No, 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.
00:00:22Come on runways in 48 hours.
00:00:26If productions start with these batch designs,
00:00:28they're all dead.
00:00:30Not just fire, they'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, you're into poison.
00:00:58Enough.
00:01:02Mick!
00:01:04Mia, Japanese Indigo.
00:01:07Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.
00:01:11Pauline, handle those ultras.
00:01:18Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
00:01:22It's 28 minutes.
00:01:24The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
00:01:2627 now.
00:01:28Tick tock.
00:01:29I'm done.
00:01:30Crisis averted.
00:01:31I swear to god, you're not human.
00:01:3227 minutes.
00:01:33Holy shit.
00:01:34The pre-orders are flooding in.
00:01:36I'm done.
00:01:37I'm done.
00:01:38Crisis averted.
00:01:39I swear to god, you're not human.
00:01:4127 minutes.
00:01:42Holy shit.
00:01:43I'm done. Crisis averted.
00:01:52I swear to God, you're not human.
00:01:5427 minutes.
00:01:56Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in.
00:01:59This will shatter every record.
00:02:07Vic, are you okay?
00:02:09I'm just practicing here because nothing to...
00:02:14Oh my God, your water broke.
00:02:25Mom, we're seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
00:02:31Multitasking is my superpower, pumpkin.
00:02:35Dad called.
00:02:36I wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges
00:02:42since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
00:02:48That's my girl.
00:02:49Well, 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.
00:03:13That'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.
00:03:25In fact, um,
00:03:28they deserve a promotion.
00:03:32No way, Viscuitor, you went or saved the company
00:03:35since she's not even there.
00:03:37Boss, the Milan collection crisis?
00:03:43Averted.
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.
00:03:57Oh my God, is this really happening?
00:04:00She's offering me Victoria's job?
00:04:02I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
00:04:10But, Victoria...
00:04:12Don't worry about her.
00:04:13That useless prego is so fired.
00:04:20You know that collection I just rescued, Ab?
00:04:24I hid something in the design.
00:04:27Your initials and now little graces.
00:04:30Hold them right into the public.
00:04:32And that's going to be a Milan runway?
00:04:40Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
00:04:43Enough for your full tuition of 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.
00:04:57I love you, Mom.
00:04:59I love you, Mom.
00:05:02Holy shit.
00:05:10Holly actually 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 Wintour is terminated.
00:05:50Victoria Wintour is terminated.
00:05:51Effective immediately.
00:05:52You can't just do that.
00:05:55She's in the hospital having her baby.
00:05:58There are laws against this.
00:06:00Vic worked while in labor.
00:06:02She's the creative backbone of Ms. Olenegault.
00:06:05Maternity leave, medical insurance.
00:06:08These preggles are bleeding us dry.
00:06:09Everything okay here?
00:06:15Great timing.
00:06:18Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
00:06:21Clear out your desk now.
00:06:31You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
00:06:33I 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.
00:06:56I'm the one who...
00:06:59Mia, you...
00:07:00Feel that curve.
00:07:04That's some signature.
00:07:06That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
00:07:12How could you?
00:07:14I taught you everything you know.
00:07:22I wish things were different, Vic.
00:07:27I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
00:07:30What happens to my team?
00:07:38Miranda 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.
00:07:48Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
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.
00:08:18Well, think of it as taking one for the team.
00:08:25Miranda'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.
00:08:32Come on, babe.
00:08:38You say you care about them.
00:08:40Prove it.
00:08:40Prove it.
00:08:41Prove it.
00:09:09Prove it.
00:09:09Prove it.
00:09:11That's my severance package after 15 years, that's what I'm worth to them.
00:09:24Careful, I got you.
00:09:39Vincent? Vincent Chevalier.
00:09:49Hi. High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
00:10:04So, it's true. Grey Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Lisanne 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.
00:10:36Pardons.
00:10:38Your genius, my money. No corporate BS. No 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.
00:10:58Just saying.
00:11:00Vincent Chevalier, wow. You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
00:11:12You got your spine here?
00:11:14Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria here. Soft landing. Triple her salary, corner office.
00:11:24You know, before the vultures at LB or Chanel swoop in.
00:11:28Oh, so you're dumpster diving now. Rescuing 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?
00:11:47The 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?
00:12:08Actually, those were my designs.
00:12:14What did you just say?
00:12:15The spring collection. The Cartier pieces.
00:12:19I designed them. Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
00:12:24Oops. Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
00:12:28I thought you were better than this, ma'am.
00:12:32Don't explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
00:12:38So what? Skitches get passed around all the time. It doesn't prove squat.
00:12:46Maybe she was your little...what do they call it?
00:12:50This designer?
00:12:52And 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.
00:13:03Mommy, explain it. Make me shut up.
00:13:06It's funny. All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's using have.
00:13:16They all have EW and GW so they do.
00:13:20Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter. Her newborn is Grace Winter.
00:13:26It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
00:13:32Is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
00:13:36Well, Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.
00:13:42The logo, it's...it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
00:13:49You lying little bitch!
00:13:52I thought promotion was by saving the company.
00:13:59Look at the logo again.
00:14:01It's not EW or GW.
00:14:04It's actually two Ms.
00:14:07MM for McMichael, my last name.
00:14:12See? One M flipped. One upright.
00:14:18It's not for Grace or Emily.
00:14:21It's mine.
00:14:23That is absolutely ridiculous.
00:14:25Oh my god, she's right. It does look more like two Ms.
00:14:30Human, if you're a little bitch, you really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
00:14:37You learned wow me home.
00:14:40Maybe too long.
00:14:42You'll regret this.
00:14:44Not Vincent.
00:14:46We don't have to sink to that level.
00:14:49Okay.
00:14:50I'm not be driving home, okay?
00:14:53Bye for hours outside.
00:14:54When I got this, you shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
00:15:03Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
00:15:06Just take care of the matter of Pauline, will you?
00:15:11That's right, get the hell out of my company.
00:15:15Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
00:15:20Come on, Victoria.
00:15:21A VIP invitation.
00:15:22Paris Fashion Week.
00:15:23Front row.
00:15:24I think you'll find it.
00:15:25Lightning.
00:15:26Lightning.
00:15:27Every pregnant woman fired.
00:15:28All of us.
00:15:29Just like that.
00:15:30No severance.
00:15:31No warning.
00:15:32Nothing.
00:15:33But a box and a security escort.
00:15:39Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
00:15:46The termination people were practically paid for your sign and bonus made right in Star.
00:16:01Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
00:16:02Your designs are eerily weighted.
00:16:05The termination people were practically paid for your sign and bonus made right in Star.
00:16:09Now, about Paris fashion.
00:16:12Your designs are eagerly awaited.
00:16:17You should have kept your legs closed.
00:16:28Oh my god, Mom.
00:16:30This is insane.
00:16:31I can't believe we're actually here.
00:16:33Victoria Wintour.
00:16:34It's a nuclear dick.
00:16:36Your mom's basically a legend.
00:16:38You know that, right?
00:16:41We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison LĂ©veau.
00:16:44Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
00:16:50Wait, Maison LĂ©veau?
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?
00:17:05Leaving so soon?
00:17:06Mm-hmm.
00:17:07You haven't introduced me to your princess.
00:17:10Does Mommy dearest build you in on your little career update
00:17:12about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
00:17:18Mom, is that true?
00:17:19Don't worry.
00:17:20She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
00:17:28Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour.
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 LĂ©veau was putting people like you in charge of the business,
00:17:44then 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,
00:17:52but 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.
00:18:16That's enough.
00:18:18You'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, it's a cheap knockoff.
00:18:34Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
00:18:37It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
00:18:44What 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.
00:18:56Come on!
00:18:58And let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
00:19:01Take your hands off her now.
00:19:06Winston.
00:19:12You're dismissed.
00:19:22You alright?
00:19:26I'm fine.
00:19:27Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
00:19:31The 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 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.
00:19:50Price tag?
00:19:51$300,000.
00:19:53Wow!
00:19:55You 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 bagged 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.
00:20:39Yes.
00:20:41I 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.
00:21:00Mom, 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.
00:21:26Your seats are waiting.
00:21:33Holy shit.
00:21:35The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
00:21:39Talk about a power couple.
00:21:41I can run the entire industry.
00:21:43This isn't over, bitch.
00:21:45Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
00:21:48If you have been in love with my mom since high school.
00:22:00Some talents you recognize immediately.
00:22:06Some people do.
00:22:09Some people do.
00:22:15Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I 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.
00:22:29It's true. She 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.
00:22:47That'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. You're embarrassing yourself.
00:23:14And those kids she's so proud of? Who knows who their real fathers are?
00:23:19How dare you!
00:23:25Listen to me, please. Listen to me, Miles.
00:23:27It's a disaster in there.
00:23:29There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
00:23:33Not now.
00:23:34The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
00:23:42The dresses are literally falling apart.
00:23:46We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
00:23:49Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Moval?
00:23:51Are you cancelling the show because of your incompetence?
00:23:53This is completely unprofessional.
00:23:56I have 10 million invested in this collection.
00:24:00This is breach of contract.
00:24:04It's actually fixable.
00:24:07Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
00:24:11Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
00:24:16Maison Moval appears to be inputting underneath new leadership.
00:24:20Sources say the entire collection needed to cancel minutes before showtime.
00:24:24A question on everyone's mind?
00:24:26Is this the end for one's prestigious fashion books?
00:24:33This show doesn't happen.
00:24:35You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
00:24:37We're talking buildings on.
00:24:40Buildings.
00:24:41BuildingsIGHT
00:25:04Who's this?
00:25:06Now!
00:25:08How? The 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.
00:25:24That's billions of dollars.
00:25:26Then you better figure something out.
00:25:28Because if you don't, now I'm going forward.
00:25:31I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
00:25:38Miss 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.
00:26:01We're gathering evidence as we speak.
00:26:05Oh, no.
00:26:06Excuse me.
00:26:17Excuse me.
00:26:19Okay, Pop.
00:26:20Put me around.
00:26:27What 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.
00:26:43I 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.
00:27:01Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
00:27:05Yes, absolutely.
00:27:07And they're counting on this being a hit.
00:27:10Please.
00:27:11Vic, not for me.
00:27:13For them.
00:27:14For 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?
00:27:21They, they couldn't make it.
00:27:27Holly cut the travel budget.
00:27:30Is that right?
00:27:32Toria, I know I don't deserve your help.
00:27:38Fine.
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.
00:28:01A nuclear beck.
00:28:03I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric.
00:28:05Now.
00:28:08I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
00:28:15Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
00:28:18Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
00:28:23Would this work?
00:28:30Vincent, how did you...
00:28:33I 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.
00:29:06I don't want your design, Victoria.
00:29:10Then what do you want?
00:29:13You.
00:29:13Your 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.
00:29:36She's doing it in minutes.
00:30:06What would have taken us hours?
00:30:09Whoa.
00:30:10No wonder they call it the nuclear pick.
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.
00:30:26You 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.
00:30:52Yeah.
00:30:54Right.
00:30:55This is exactly why I promoted you.
00:30:58Your 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.
00:32:51I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
00:32:57And you 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?
00:33:13Why didn't you ever reach out?
00:33:13You were married.
00:33:16And then you were arts.
00:33:18And then you were building your career.
00:33:21The timing was never right.
00:33:25Until now.
00:33:26I have followed you.
00:33:37I have been working for 20 years to the left.
00:33:39I should probably get this.
00:33:55Mia?
00:34:05God, 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.
00:34:18Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
00:34:23Sean Gosling?
00:34:26The 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.
00:34:40If he picks yours, this changes everything.
00:34:43For you, for the brand.
00:34:45Where it is, Joven's in the running too.
00:34:48Lanthus, Vincent, and poor Victoria are done.
00:34:56Seal the deal?
00:34:57I'll bump your pay by 20%.
00:34:59I've got this, Holly.
00:35:01You won't regret it.
00:35:03God, 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.
00:35:16Miranda and Felina are gone too.
00:35:18I'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 vehicle over it.
00:35:34Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.
00:35:58You mentioned Miranda and Pauline. Cut to the chase.
00:36:02We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks.
00:36:07Miranda and Pauline are also in there.
00:36:09Miranda's excellent at men's wear. She 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?
00:36:24Holly's due any day now.
00:36:26Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot.
00:36:29If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
00:36:33Have you worked with Sean before?
00:36:35No, but I've heard you have.
00:36:37Ages ago.
00:36:39I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
00:36:42Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept right before I left Maison Hall.
00:36:46Really? What concept?
00:36:48What concept?
00:36:53Well...
00:37:08Perfect, he's handing everything over without even realizing.
00:37:11I'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...
00:37:22I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
00:37:26Wait.
00:37:28Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
00:37:30How exactly is she part of this project?
00:37:32Well, 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?
00:37:42Of course, Vic.
00:37:44Colleen and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
00:37:50You need to know how to.
00:37:52Take all the time you need.
00:37:54Mia.
00:37:56Don'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?
00:38:23The Sean Gosselin one with the black item lapels?
00:38:27That's the one.
00:38:28Can you check my home office?
00:38:30It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
00:38:34Got 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.
00:38:44Shoulder.
00:38:46Instruction.
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?
00:39:09Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
00:39:12The girls don't pay themselves.
00:39:14You can make my house as an old child with no paycheck and now there's a newborn at home.
00:39:19Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
00:39:25What?
00:39:27Is that a story she's spinning?
00:39:30After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
00:39:35No severance, 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?
00:39:51And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours diner.
00:39:56Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
00:39:59And Mia knew about all this.
00:40:06Mia.
00:40:08Front 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.
00:40:37Damn it!
00:40:43Name is Miss Michael.
00:40:45It was just arrived from Milan.
00:40:47We need approval by name.
00:40:49Didn't you see I'm working on something important?
00:40:51What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
00:41:03Victoria would never treat us.
00:41:08I heard that.
00:41:10You think Victoria is so perfect?
00:41:12Then where is she now?
00:41:14Gone.
00:41:16Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
00:41:19Well, at least you've got a key designer.
00:41:27What the hell is going on here?
00:41:29Just a creative disagreement. Everything's under control.
00:41:33It's a gossip bitch. Tell me you have something presentable.
00:41:40Of course, I'm just finalizing something.
00:41:42Show me.
00:41:44It's all quite ready.
00:41:45Now.
00:41:49This is garbage.
00:41:53Absolute garbage!
00:41:55I just need a little more time.
00:41:57We don't have more time.
00:41:58This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
00:42:01The truth then gets this deal instead of us.
00:42:06What's that?
00:42:07What's that?
00:42:13It's just some inspiration.
00:42:14I 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 I design my till morning.
00:42:24Or pack up your desk by lunch.
00:42:25I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
00:42:42I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
00:42:59Right on cue.
00:43:00I don't care.
00:43:03Meet that sketch ASAP.
00:43:05Miranda 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.
00:43:17You're early.
00:43:31Bec.
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,
00:43:51Miranda and Pauline are toast.
00:43:54Still lying Mia.
00:43:56You never learn.
00:43:58Guess it's payback time.
00:44:00So, do you want my help or not?
00:44:01I can walk you through it.
00:44:03Your design could be just as good.
00:44:05She's such a snake.
00:44:09Vic, my stomach is killing me.
00:44:11Can you run to the final scene and get something please?
00:44:14Fine.
00:44:16Don't touch anything.
00:44:31What do you want to do?
00:44:32What do you want to do?
00:44:33I can.
00:44:34What do you want to do?
00:44:35I can.
00:44:36Detect that you want to do.
00:44:37I can't believe it.
00:44:38I can't believe it.
00:44:40It's all about you.
00:44:41It's all about you.
00:44:43Sorry, the survival of the fittest.

00:47:42And you're still here.
00:47:45Final tweaks. The 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.
00:48:03Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
00:48:10Remember, smile. We're about to make history.
00:48:17Maison Laveau sets the bar.
00:48:20We don't follow trends. We create them.
00:48:25Satin black lapels. Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Metcala moment.
00:48:34A blend of tradition and boldness.
00:48:37I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
00:48:42What 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.
00:49:04Didn't expect to see you here.
00:49:06I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
00:49:10I multitask. Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
00:49:17You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in waters.
00:49:22The office is so empty, it echoes.
00:49:25And it echoes.
00:49:26And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
00:49:31Pregnant women talk, you know.
00:49:33Three X employees and a rival CEO.
00:49:36What's next? A 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.
00:49:55Sean, 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.
00:50:15Thank you, Sean. It'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 voice.
00:50:36First up, me and McMichael, Maison Laveau.
00:50:55Next is Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:50:57Beautiful work.
00:50:58Both themes.
00:50:59We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
00:51:00After careful consideration, we're awarding Project 2.
00:51:02Maison Laveau.
00:51:03No!
00:51:04No!
00:51:05No!
00:51:06No!
00:51:07No!
00:51:08No!
00:51:09No!
00:51:10No!
00:51:11No!
00:51:12No!
00:51:13No!
00:51:14No!
00:51:15No!
00:51:16No!
00:51:17No!
00:51:18No!
00:51:19No!
00:51:20No!
00:51:21No!
00:51:22No!
00:51:23No!
00:51:24No!
00:51:25No!
00:51:26No!
00:51:27No!
00:51:28No!
00:51:29No!
00:51:30Maison L'Aveau.
00:51:32Oh my god!
00:51:34Of course.
00:51:36This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
00:51:48What the hell did you people put me in?
00:51:52Are you trying to kill me?
00:51:54Sir 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, did you?
00:52:04You must have read the brief. It's not complicated.
00:52:06It says no synthetic blend.
00:52:10I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
00:52:12Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
00:52:14A mistake?
00:52:16I could have ended up in the emergency room.
00:52:18Victoria,
00:52:20please,
00:52:22tell these amateurs why you pulled your glasses off.
00:52:28I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
00:52:36I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
00:52:38And that's why Victoria's the best.
00:52:40She actually pays attention.
00:52:42After reviewing all of the entries,
00:52:44the committee has reached a decision.
00:52:46The commission goes to
00:52:48Victoria,
00:52:50Miranda,
00:52:52and Pauline.
00:52:54Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
00:52:56Mia's design was the front runner all along.
00:52:58That's why they picked her first.
00:53:00Maybe everyone should see this.
00:53:04Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
00:53:08Not so new low. Even for you!
00:53:10Even for you!
00:53:12Maison Lavaux,
00:53:14we'll be hearing from my liars.
00:53:16So you know,
00:53:18I will be supporting Victoria's case
00:53:20for design that.
00:53:22Maison Lavaux's reputation is toast.
00:53:36We're suspending all collaborations.
00:53:40We're suspending all collaborations.
00:53:44Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
00:53:57You're blacklisted.
00:54:03Victoria, please.
00:54:04I'll do anything, please.
00:54:17Just help me save the company, the 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?
00:54:34Sean Gosling's look tonight is a dame changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
00:54:41Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
00:54:52To the best comeback in fashion history and to the women who made it happen.
00:54:58And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
00:55:04Mom, you might want to see this.
00:55:17Happy birthday, Victoria.
00:55:22Happy birthday to you!
00:55:28Guys, look!
00:55:30Maison LĂ©vois on the brink?
00:55:34Scandal pushes fashion giant towards 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, all the best years.
00:55:54And they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
00:55:57Now it's all crashing down.
00:55:59I thought I feel vindicated.
00:56:02Honestly, it's a weird mix.
00:56:04Relief, sure.
00:56:06But also a little bit of grief.
00:56:09Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
00:56:12Look at this!
00:56:13Joven pushes for pay, leave, and parental support across all industries.
00:56:21Victoria, this is you!
00:56:23You did this!
00:56:25Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
00:56:31Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
00:56:36Careful, Vincent.
00:56:38I almost forgot the best part.
00:56:39Victoria Winsor.
00:56:56Will you marry me?
00:57:01Yes!
00:57:03A thousand times yes!
00:57:05Woohoo!
00:57:05Yeah!
00:57:09Take my heart with over your hands
00:57:13I've spent all my days
00:57:17Just trying to cut my hands
00:57:19Give me love and listen
00:57:25Last time ever!
00:57:27Perfect.
00:57:31Bye!
00:57:31Bye!
00:57:37Bye!
00:57:37Bye!
00:57:37Bye!
00:57:39You came. I 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. Clients failed.
00:57:55The board freaked. Numbers taped.
00:57:58I couldn't stop it.
00:58:01You stood me as on the boat into this storm, Holly.
00:58:04I know. I know.
00:58:12My father, the stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
00:58:19I destroyed everything.
00:58:22My thoughts, slashing costs, would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
00:58:29I didn't mean to pretend like this.
00:58:32Maison Lavao isn't dead.
00:58:34I bought it. Last week.
00:58:38The brand, the archives, even the debt.
00:58:42It's part of Geven now.
00:58:44You've lied. 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.
00:58:56I hope you do better than I did.
00:59:00I'll do it differently.
00:59:02Goodbye, Holly.
00:59:05Miss Wintour, I just, I want to thank you.
00:59:26Because of your campaign, my company gave me maturity leave.
00:59:32I can keep working and have my baby.
00:59:37You changed everything.
00:59:40Congratulations.
00:59:42Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
00:59:44Ready?
00:59:55Ready?
00:59:59Always.
00:59:59And now, Jovan's new collection
