00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The system crashed mid-upload. Half the collection is the wrong season. Wrong everything. No.
00:21Runway is in 48 hours. If productions start with these botched designs, we're all dead. Not just fire, we're dead. Company collapses, our careers are over. Come out here and talk to us. We have 8 million tied up in this collection.
00:39I have a fashion editor from Logan. Right now, one word for me, your industry poison.
00:45Enough. Vic!
01:02Mia, Japanese indigo. Miranda, call production, emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:13Tell the boss to hold all calls. I need 28 minutes. 28 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot. 27 now. Tick-tock.
01:28I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:33I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes.
01:39Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
01:46I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:49I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes.
01:53Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
01:58You bet. Are you okay? Just Brax and Hicks. Nothing to...
02:13Oh my god, your water broke.
02:17Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:27Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin.
02:32Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but...
02:36I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance was more comfortable than ours.
02:44That's my girl.
02:45Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But there's a condition.
03:00We need to slash costs. Immediately.
03:04Layoffs.
03:08Absent without leave.
03:11Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:14Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Malan disaster, they get immunity.
03:21In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:25No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:35Boss, the Malan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:41Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:45Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director? Starting today.
03:50Oh, my God, is this really happening? She's offering me Victoria's job? I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:04But, Victoria...
04:05Don't worry about her. I'm not useless for her. I'm gonna just have fire.
04:09You know that collection I just rescued, Em? I hid something in the design.
04:20Your initials and now little graces. Hold them right into the fabric.
04:29And that's gonna give him a long runway?
04:31Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial. Enough for your full tuition at private school.
04:38Mom, you ain't have to.
04:40You're going to that private school. No discussion.
04:44Your sister and I will manage just fine. This job will keep us afloat.
04:49I love you, Mom.
04:51Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:06After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:11Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:36What the hell?
05:37Listen up, everyone. Victoria Wintour is terminated. Effective immediately.
05:44You can't just do that. She's in the hospital having her baby. They're a loss against this.
05:50Vic worked while in labor. She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:02Great timing. Victoria Wintour, you're fired. Clear out your desk now.
06:20You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:22I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:27Three times.
06:30Whoa.
06:32That's ancient history.
06:34The board wants fresh blood.
06:36And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:43What?
06:44I'm the one who...
06:45I'm the one who...
06:47Mia, you...
06:50Feel that curve?
06:52That's your signature.
06:54That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:00How could you?
07:02I taught you everything you know.
07:03I wish things were different, Vic.
07:12I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:22What happens to my team?
07:25Miranda pulled all nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:30Things got so bad she had to get hair implants.
07:35Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:40These jobs are their lifelines.
07:42Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:45You can't just throw them away.
07:46Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:50No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:56Or, we can shift the math.
07:59You sign, they stay, the budget works out, think of it as taking one for the team.
08:08Miranda's still drowning in her husband's deaths.
08:13And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:17They can't lose their jobs.
08:22Come on, Vic. You say you care about them.
08:25Prove it.
08:38Mm.
08:43Mm.
09:01Five grand.
09:02If that's my severance package after 15 years, that's what I'm worth to them?
09:20Careful. I got you.
09:28Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:32Hi.
09:35High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:47So, it's true.
09:51Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Mison LeBeau's Milan collection.
09:57How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:06Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:09What are you getting at exactly?
10:10I'm talking about you and me.
10:11Partners.
10:12You're genius.
10:13My money.
10:14No corporate BS.
10:15No one holding you back.
10:16I've got a baby to think about now.
10:17And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:18Just saying.
10:20Vincent Chevalier.
10:21Vincent Chevalier.
10:22Wow.
10:23You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:24Do I respond to you?
10:25You got your spy here?
10:26No.
10:27You're a corporate BS.
10:28No one holding you back.
10:29I've got a baby to think about now.
10:30And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:34Just saying.
10:35Vincent Chevalier.
10:36Wow.
10:37You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:50Do I respond to you?
10:53Mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
11:02Triple her salary.
11:03Corner office.
11:04Yeah.
11:05Before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:08Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:11Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:15Wow.
11:16That's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:20I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:26The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:29Okay.
11:30If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:36Shit, shit, shit.
11:38What are you talking about?
11:39Victoria designed all of this.
11:41Actually, those were my designs.
11:48What did you just say?
11:49The spring collection.
11:50The Cartier pieces.
11:51I designed them.
11:52Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
11:54Oops.
11:55Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
11:56I thought you were better than this, Mia.
11:57Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:03So what?
12:04Sketches get past her in all the time.
12:06It doesn't prove squat.
12:07Maybe she was your little...what do they call it?
12:10Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:20So what, sketches get passed around all the time, it doesn't prove squat.
12:24Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:27The dress designer?
12:29And the logo?
12:32The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
12:37It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:40Well Mia, explain it and make her shut up.
12:46It's funny, all those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their life,
12:52they all have EW and GW so near too.
12:56Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter, her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:02It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs.
13:06Nia, is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
13:11Well Mia, tell them.
13:13Tell them you designed this.
13:15Tell them you saved Milan.
13:17The logo, it's, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:24You lying little bitch!
13:27That promotion was for saving the company.
13:33Look at the logo again.
13:35It's not EW or GW.
13:39It's actually two Ms, M-M, for McMichael, my last name.
13:45See?
13:46One M flipped.
13:47One upright.
13:48It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:50It's mine.
13:51That is absolutely ridiculous.
13:52Oh my god, she's right.
13:53It does look more like two Ms.
13:58You manipulative bitch, you really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:11You learned well, Mia.
14:13Maybe too well.
14:14Maybe too well.
14:15You'll regret this.
14:17Come on, Vincent.
14:18We don't have to sink to that level.
14:19Okay.
14:20Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:21My Ferrari's outside.
14:22I got this.
14:23You shouldn't be caring anymore.
14:24Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:27Just take care of the matter of Pauline, will you?
14:28That's right.
14:29Get the hell out of my company.
14:30Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:34Pauline.
14:35I'm sorry.
14:36I'm sorry.
14:37My Ferrari's outside.
14:38I got this.
14:39You shouldn't be caring anymore.
14:40I got this.
14:41You shouldn't be caring anymore.
14:42Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:43Just take care of the matter of Pauline, will you?
14:46That's right.
14:47Get the hell out of my company.
14:48Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:51For what do we need?
14:52Can you see?
14:57Owen, Victoria.
14:58V.I.P.
15:01Invitation.
15:02Passface sells.
15:03Front row.
15:04I came up andei saw it.
15:05Lightning.
15:06Every pregnant woman fired.
15:17All of us.
15:19Just like that. No severance, no warning, nothing but a box and a security escort.
15:31Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:35Their termination people weren't practically paid for your sign and bonus made right in Star.
15:40Now, about Paris Fashion Week, your designs are eagerly awaited.
15:45You should have kept your legs closed.
15:58Oh my god, mom. This is insane. I can't believe we're actually here.
16:03Victoria Winsford, the Nuclear Vic. Your mom's basically a legend. You know that, right?
16:10We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Leveau.
16:13Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:19Wait, Maison Leveau?
16:22Well, well, the queen without her crown graces us with her presence. Brave of you to show up here.
16:28What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:32Let's go.
16:33Leaving so soon?
16:35You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:39Does mommy dearest build you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:46Mom, is that true?
16:48Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
16:55Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter. Still pretending she matters.
17:00My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:06If Maison Leveau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:14Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:18Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:21That's got a sting, huh? Exposes unemployed in front of your kid and worships you like some kind of hero.
17:28Hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:34If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:38That's enough.
17:42That's enough.
17:44You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.
17:48Look at her. A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
17:55That dress. It's a cheap knockoff.
18:00Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:04It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:10What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:13Remove that dress.
18:14We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:19Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:22And let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:26Take your hands off her now.
18:30Vincent.
18:36You're dismissed.
18:37You're dismissed.
18:46You alright?
18:50You alright?
18:52Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
18:55The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere.
18:58What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:00That knockoff that you're so eager to trash her for?
19:06It's Chauvin.
19:09Vente Couture.
19:11Winter collection.
19:13Not even released yet.
19:15Price tag?
19:17300,000.
19:18Wow!
19:19You gave her that.
19:21That's right.
19:22You did.
19:25I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:28Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:31Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy!
19:35Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight, he's her walking trust fund.
19:41Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:44It's just so predictably desperate.
19:46That's great.
19:49You really don't understand real talent, do you?
19:54For those of you who don't know me,
19:56I'm Vincent Chevalier.
19:58CEO of Jeven.
20:02And yes,
20:04I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:08I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:10Your brilliance.
20:13Your principles.
20:15Your passion.
20:17Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:21Mom, did you know about this?
20:23I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:26But in the meantime, what I will do is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:34She won't let you down, boss.
20:36You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier. She's nothing but a has-been.
20:39The show is about to start. Your seats are waiting.
20:41Holy shit. The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together? Talk about a power couple. They could run the entire industry.
20:45This isn't over, bitch. Wait till you see what I've prepared you to do.
21:16So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:23Some talents you recognize immediately. Some people too.
21:34Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:39This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:41She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:47It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:51I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
21:56And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:04That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:07Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:11That's enough, Holly.
22:14Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:18Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:22Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:27That's her real design strategy.
22:29Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:31And those kids she's so proud of? Who knows who their real fathers are.
22:37How get you?
22:41Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Michaels, it's a disaster in there. There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
22:47Not now.
22:54The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
22:58The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:00We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:03Is this some kind of sick joke, Maisamovale? Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
23:08This is completely unprofessional.
23:11I have 10 million invested in this collection. This is breach of contract.
23:15It's actually fixable.
23:20Paul, you can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
23:26Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:31Maisamovale appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:34Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
23:38The question on everyone's mind, is this the end for the once prestigious fashion groups?
23:42This show doesn't happen. You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
23:51We're talking billions, Holly. Billions.
24:12What's this?
24:19Now.
24:21How? The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:25I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:29You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:32If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:36That's billions of dollars.
24:38Then you better figure something out.
24:41Because if you don't, not only are you fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
24:45Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
24:49Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
24:51Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
24:52And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
24:54We're gathering evidence as we speak.
24:55I know.
24:58How do you find evidence as we speak?
24:59Accusations over design theft
25:01Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins claims about your personal life?
25:05Please respect
25:06Miss winter's privacy and for the record you'll also see who the real thief is
25:12We're gathering evidence as we speak
25:26Excuse me
25:28Excuse me
25:30It's okay, punk. I'll be right
25:38What do you want Mia
25:42Vic, I really need your help
25:45Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled
25:50Look, I know you're furious. I would be too
25:54But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second
25:57What about them?
25:59Their jobs are on the line with this show
26:01If we tank, they're done. Holly will fire them without a second thought
26:05Please
26:06If you care about them keeping their jobs
26:09Just help us out here
26:11Thank you
26:13Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show
26:15Yes, absolutely, and they're counting on this being a hit
26:19Please, Vic, not for me
26:21For them, for it's weird
26:23I would've expected them to be here in Paris
26:25I would've expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make or break show
26:27What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:31They
26:33They couldn't make it
26:35Holly cut the travel budget
26:37Is that right?
26:39Victoria
26:41I know I don't deserve your help
26:43They do
26:45Fine
26:47I'll help you
26:49I'll help you
26:51But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline
26:53Not for you
26:55Oh my god
27:07It's Victoria Winter
27:09The Nuclear Vec
27:10I need scissors, thread and fresh lining fabric, now
27:20I need royal fuchsia for this stitching
27:22Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric
27:24Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:30Would this work?
27:36Vincent
27:38How did you
27:40I figured you might need some supplies
27:42So I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit
27:48This is perfect, but
27:50Joven and Maison Lavo are competitors
27:52Why would you help them?
27:56I'm not helping them
27:58I'm helping you
28:01I can't ask you to do this without giving you something in return
28:04I have a design I've been saving
28:06Something special I've never shown anyone
28:09It's yours now
28:10I don't want your design, Victoria
28:13I don't want your design, Victoria
28:15Then what do you want?
28:18You
28:20What?
28:25Your talent
28:26Your vision
28:28Come and work
28:29As you've been
28:30I'm in
28:32I'll work for you
28:34Just like that?
28:35Just like that
28:37Now
28:38Let me finish my final job for Maison Lavo
28:40I'm gonna play this on Lavo
28:43I hate it
28:45When I'm gone
28:47I wish I was cool
28:49Like the new girl at school
28:52I regret it
28:53So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get
28:56I'ma get it
28:57I want me back
28:59Don't ever take you
29:01I'm gonna be proud of my name
29:06She's doing in minutes
29:09What would have taken us hours
29:11Whoa
29:12No wonder they call her the nuclear vic
29:14It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing
29:19The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur
29:22Five minutes till showtime
29:28You made it
29:30Well, did we pull the plug or not?
29:44We're good. Everything's back on track
29:46See?
29:48I knew firing Victoria was the right call. You've got twice her talent
29:52Yeah, right
29:55This is exactly why I promoted you
29:58You need to fix this and not make them
30:01To Victoria
30:09The real hero of the night
30:11Mom, you're insane
30:23I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour
30:26Couldn't have done it without you
30:29You know, if you start dating before you work together
30:33It doesn't count as an office romance
30:36Well, well, still hanging around
30:42I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party
30:46Fraud
30:47Pauline
30:49Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight
30:51What are you talking about?
30:53Just ask the models
30:55Any of them
30:57Oh, and Mia
30:59Don't forget about our agreement
31:02About Miranda and Pauline
31:03I won't
31:05I won't
31:06Two new beginnings at Chauvin
31:11Speaking of new beginnings
31:19Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:25I want to help
31:26With her education
31:28What?
31:30Vincent, that's too much
31:32We barely know each other
31:33Victoria
31:35I've known you since we were 17
31:37I remember
31:40Watching you win that regional competition
31:43In that silver dress
31:45The one you made from scratch
31:48I saw
31:49The way your eyes lit up
31:51When you talked about
31:52Changing the fashion world
31:55You remember that?
31:56I remember everything
31:58I
32:00Have followed your career
32:03All these years
32:04Just
32:05Hoping that our paths would cross again
32:07Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:10We were married
32:11And then you weren't
32:14And then you were building your career
32:17Timing was
32:19Was never right
32:20Until now
32:23I've been waiting
32:3320 years
32:35To do this
32:36I should
32:49Probably get this
32:50Mia
33:00God, I was so right about firing Victoria
33:06That Milan disaster you turned around
33:08Absolute magic
33:09And now I have an opportunity
33:11That can put you on the map for good
33:13Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo
33:16For the Oscars red carpet
33:17Sean Gosling
33:21The Sean Gosling
33:23The very one
33:24Three-time Oscar winner
33:25People's Sexiest Man Alive
33:27And if you play our cards right
33:29The next face
33:30Amazing
33:31The both hands wear
33:32They're taking pitches now
33:34If he picks yours
33:36This changes everything
33:37For you
33:38For the brand
33:39Word is
33:41Jobin's in the running too
33:42Lanthus
33:43Vincent
33:44And his poor Victoria
33:46Are done
33:46Seal the deal
33:50I'll bump your pay by 20%
33:52I've got this Holly
33:55You won't regret it
33:56God, what am I gonna do?
34:04I can't design menswear
34:06I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help
34:09Miranda and Pauline are gone too
34:12I'm completely on my own
34:14If Holly bought that
34:17I saved Milan
34:18And fixed Paris
34:19When it was
34:20All Victoria
34:21Maybe
34:22I can squeeze
34:24One more miracle over her
34:25Thanks for meeting me
34:48I know things are complicated between us
34:50You mentioned Miranda and Pauline
34:52You mentioned Miranda and Pauline
34:52Cut to the chase
34:53We're pitching for Sean's Oscar text
34:58Miranda and Pauline are also in the
35:00Miranda's excellent with menswear
35:02She can handle this without me
35:03Please, wait
35:04There's more to it
35:04After Paris
35:06Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster
35:09Miranda and Pauline
35:10Are on the chopping block
35:12I've been fighting for them
35:13Are you serious?
35:15Pauline's due any day now
35:17Trust me, I know
35:18This project is our only shot
35:20If we land it
35:21I can convince Holly to keep them both
35:23Have you worked with Sean before?
35:26No, but I've heard you have
35:27Ages ago
35:29I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala
35:32Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept frame
35:35Right before I left Maison Le Ball
35:37Really?
35:38What concept?
35:42Well
35:43Perfect, she's handing everything over without even realizing
36:00I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project
36:04Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:08I do
36:09Actually, I
36:11I took them with me when I left Maison Le Ball
36:13Wait
36:15Miranda went on maternity leave last week
36:19How exactly is she part of this project?
36:22Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have
36:25Holly's letting her work from home
36:27Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:31Of course, Vic
36:32Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here
36:36You need to think about it
36:39Take all the time you need
36:41Man
36:43Don't make me regret trusting you
36:46Again
36:47Pumpkin, I need a quick favor
36:51Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
36:57The Sean Gosling one with the black hats and lapels?
36:58That's the one
36:59Can you check my home office? It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025
37:05Got it
37:06Grace is napping
37:07The perfect timing
37:08Thanks, sweetie
37:09I just need to double check something about that
37:11Shoulder instruction
37:12Mom, are you okay?
37:33Miranda?
37:34Mom, are you okay?
37:40Miranda?
37:42Vic?
37:46Mom! Mom! What's going on?
37:50Emily, I'll call you right back.
37:53Miranda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
37:57Littles don't pay themselves. You met my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
38:06Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the gossip project.
38:11What? Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:16After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company. No severance, no cover, nothing. Just gone.
38:24That's completely illegal.
38:27Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
38:32All at once. What are the odds, right?
38:36And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:41Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
38:48And Mia knew about all this.
38:50Mia, front row seat when Holly made an announcement. Didn't even blink.
38:57Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
39:02She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
39:06Telling me her draw depended on me helping her.
39:09What? That bitch!
39:13This ends now.
39:14Damn it!
39:16Miss Michael.
39:17He's just arrived from Milan.
39:18We need approval by naming for that.
39:20Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:22Miss Michael.
39:23Miss Michael.
39:24He's just arrived from Milan.
39:25We need approval by naming for that.
39:27Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:28What are y'all looking at? Get back to work.
39:29Victoria would never change it.
39:30I heard that.
39:32You think Victoria is so perfect.
39:34What are you all looking at?
39:43Get back to work.
39:45Victoria would never treat us.
39:49I heard that.
39:50You think Victoria is so perfect?
39:53Then where is she now?
39:55Gone.
39:56Now I'm in charge, and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:01Well, at least you can actually design it.
40:04What the hell is going on here?
40:10Just a creative disagreement.
40:12Everything's under control.
40:14The Gosling page.
40:15Tell me you have something presentable.
40:20Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:22Show me.
40:24It's not quite ready.
40:25Now.
40:31This is garbage.
40:34Absolute garbage.
40:36I just need a little more time.
40:37We don't have more time.
40:38This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
40:41If Chiu-Fan gets this deal instead of us...
40:43What's that?
40:47It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
40:57I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil,
41:00get me a winning design way tomorrow morning,
41:02or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:04I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:30Right on cue.
41:40Meet that sketch ASAP.
41:43Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
41:46The absolute nerve of this woman.
41:48Well, she'll get her a sketch.
41:53And that's when we spring the trap.
42:07You're early.
42:08Vic, I really need that sketch.
42:11I said I'd help, not hand over my design.
42:22Holly's all over me about this.
42:24If I don't have something tonight,
42:26Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:29Still lying, Mia.
42:31You never learn.
42:33Guess it's payback time.
42:34So, do you want my help or not?
42:37I can walk you through it.
42:39Your design could be just as good.
42:41She's such a snake.
42:44Vic, my stomach is killing me.
42:47Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
42:50Fine.
42:51But don't touch anything.
42:53I don't.
42:53I don't.
43:04Sorry, then.
43:19Survival of the fittest.
43:20You just let her take your work?
43:35She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
43:40You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
43:44Go after the same clients.
43:46Show them what real design looks like.
43:49We're not out yet.
43:50Oh, there's a revolution, bro.
44:08Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:14You're welcome, Mom.
44:15I want you and your team as your van.
44:23Full creative control.
44:27I'm Miranda.
44:28Your husband's dead.
44:29Handled.
44:31And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:35I'm so sure, yeah, I...
44:37I'm Pauline.
44:39Your sister is in good hands.
44:41The best heart surgeon in the country.
44:44She's already prepping for her next surgery.
44:47Mr. Chevalier.
44:50Don't thank me.
44:51Thank Victoria.
44:53I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
44:55Vincent, I...
44:58I don't even know what to say.
45:01It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:04I don't know what to say.
45:22I don't know what to say.
45:22I'm a baby.
45:52We're here.
46:10And you're still here.
46:12Final tweaks.
46:14The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:19You've got Grace to sleep.
46:23Yeah.
46:25And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:30Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
46:38Remember, smile.
46:40We're about to make the streets.
46:44Maison Laveau sets the bar.
46:47We don't follow trends.
46:49We create them.
46:55Satin black lapels.
46:57Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.
47:00A blend of tradition and boldness.
47:03I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:07What is that bitch doing here?
47:18Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:23My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:28I didn't expect to see you here.
47:30I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
47:36I multitask.
47:38Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
47:43You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
47:47The office is so empty, it echoes.
47:50And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
47:55Pregnant women talk, you know.
47:57Three ex-employees and a viable CEO.
48:00What's next?
48:01A fake sale?
48:03Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:05You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:08And what real loyalty looks like.
48:20Sean, glad you could make it.
48:24We have something very special to show you.
48:30Vic.
48:34I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
48:37Congratulations.
48:38Thank you, Sean.
48:40It's good to see you.
48:42Let's begin the pitches.
48:45You ready to lose?
48:46You're out of your league.
48:47You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
48:58First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:19Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:30Beautiful work.
49:32Both themes.
49:37We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
49:38After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...
49:49Maison Laveau.
49:51Oh, my God.
49:54Of course.
49:56This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
49:59What the hell did you people put me in?
50:10Are you trying to kill me?
50:13Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:15Who designed his tuxedo?
50:17Did you even read the brief?
50:18I mean, you must have read the brief.
50:24It's not complicated.
50:25It says no synthetic blends.
50:28I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
50:31Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
50:33A mistake?
50:35I could have ended up in the emergency room.
50:38Victoria, please, tell these amateurs
50:41why you pulled your last aside.
50:43I pulled my design
50:51because the only fabric left was synthetic.
50:54I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
50:57And that's why Victoria is the best.
50:59She actually pays attention.
51:01After reviewing all of the entries,
51:03the committee has reached a decision.
51:05The commission goes to
51:06Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:08Beautiful work.
51:09Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:14Mia's design was the frontrunner all along.
51:17That's why they picked her first.
51:22Maybe everyone should see this.
51:29Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:36That's a new low.
51:38Even for you.
51:43Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
51:47So you know,
51:48I will be supporting Victoria's case
51:51for design theft.
51:54Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
51:57We're suspending all collaborations.
51:59Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:12You're blacklisted.
52:18Victoria, please.
52:27Victoria, please.
52:28I'll do anything.
52:31Please just help me save the company,
52:33the brand you've built for 15 years.
52:36You made your choices, Holly.
52:38Now you live with them.
52:42Finally went too far.
52:43Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer
52:52crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
52:55Social media is already calling it
52:56the Winter Revolution.
52:58To the best comeback in fashion history,
53:08and to the women who made it happen.
53:11And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:15Mom, you might want to see this.
53:20Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:34Happy birthday to you!
53:36Guys, look.
53:44Maison Laveau on the brink.
53:46Scandal pushes Dasha and Giant towards bankruptcy.
53:50Ouch.
53:50I guess karma has a sense of humor.
53:53It's strange, isn't it?
53:55I gave them everything.
54:00Late nights, weekends, all the best years,
54:05and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:08Now it's all crashing down.
54:10I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:12Honestly, it's a weird mix.
54:15Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
54:19Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
54:23Look at this!
54:26Joven pushes for paid leave and parental support
54:29across all industries.
54:31Victoria, this is you.
54:33You did this.
54:35Here's to a future where women don't have to choose
54:39between their families and their careers.
54:41Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
54:46Careful, Vincent.
54:47You almost forgot the best part.
55:01Victoria Winter.
55:02Will you marry me?
55:10Yes!
55:11A thousand times yes!
55:13Woo!
55:13Yeah!
55:14All right!
55:14Thank you!
55:14Woo!
55:14Woo!
55:15Woo!
55:24Woo!
55:24Woo!
55:25Woo!
55:26Woo!
55:26Woo!
55:27Woo!
55:27Woo!
55:28Woo!
55:29Woo!
55:30You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
55:55I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
55:57When word got out you left. Clients bailed. The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.
56:08You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
56:14I know. I know. My father, the stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
56:24I destroyed everything. My thoughts slashing costs would say less, but instead I gutted the company.
56:33I don't mean for it to end like this.
56:37Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it. Last week. The brand. The archives. Even the debt. It's part of Given now.
56:49If you want it, why would you do that?
56:52To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:00You win, Victoria. To help you do better than I did.
57:04I'll do it differently. Goodbye, Holly.
57:09Miss Winter. I just... I wanted to thank you. Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave. I can keep working and...
57:37have my baby. You changed everything. Congratulations. Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
57:44Ready?
57:58Always.
58:00Always.
58:01Always.
58:12And now, Jovan's new collection, designed by Victoria, Lintour, and Murtu.
58:18We love you.
58:20Just as I can't. We love you.
58:21We love you.
58:22We love you.
58:23Every last minute on earth.
58:27It's yours.
58:28What?
58:29What?
58:30What?
58:31What?
58:32What?
58:34What?
58:35What?
58:36What?
58:37What?
58:39What?
58:40What?
58:41What?
58:42What?
58:43Harlan,
58:44what?
58:45What?
