00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! The system crashed mid-upload! Half the collection is the wrong season! We're on everything!
00:20We're on runways 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!
00:35Come out here and talk to us! We have 8 million tied up in this collection!
00:40I have a passion that you're promoting right now! One word for me, your industry poison!
00:50Enough! Vic!
01:03Mia, Japanese indigo. Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:13Tell the boss to hold all calls. I need 28 minutes.
01:2028 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2527 now. Tick-tock.
01:28I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:35I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes!
01:41Holy shit! Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every day.
01:46I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:49I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes!
01:52Holy shit! Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every day.
01:55Holy shit! Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
02:05Yvette, are you okay?
02:09Just...frax and hicks. Nothing to...
02:14Oh my god, your water broke.
02:16Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:26Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:29Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but...
02:35I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:44That's my girl.
02:46Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But there's a condition.
03:00We need to slash costs. Immediately.
03:03Layoffs.
03:05Absent without leave.
03:09Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:14Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster...
03:18They get immunity.
03:20In fact, um...
03:22They deserve a promotion.
03:24No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:31Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:41Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:45Oh, actually...
03:46How about I make you the new creative director? Starting today.
03:52Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:54She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:57I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:04But...
04:05Victoria...
04:06Don't worry about her.
04:07I'm not useless.
04:08I'm going to sound fire.
04:14You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:18I hid something in the design.
04:20Your initials and now little graces.
04:23I'll have them right into the fabric.
04:27I hid...
04:30And that's going to give them a long runway?
04:33Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:36Enough for your full tuition at private school.
04:39Mom, you ain't have to.
04:41You're going to that private school.
04:43No discussion.
04:45Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:48This job will keep us afloat.
04:50I love you, Mom.
04:51Mom.
05:02Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:07After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:11Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:27What the hell?
05:28Listen up, everyone.
05:29Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:30Effective immediately.
05:31You can't just do that.
05:32She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:33There are laws against this.
05:34Vic worked while in labor.
05:35She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:36Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:37These preggles are bleeding us dry.
05:38I really don't know.
05:39What the hell?
05:40What the hell?
05:41Listen up, everyone.
05:42Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:43Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:44Effective immediately.
05:45You can't just do that.
05:46She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:48There are laws against this.
05:49Vic worked while in labor.
05:52She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:55Who?
05:56Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:58These preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:06Great timing.
06:07Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:11Clear out your desk now.
06:20You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:23I saved this company three times when your father could have made 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...
06:47Mia, you...
06:51Feel that curve?
06:53That's your signature.
06:54That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:01How could you?
07:02I taught you everything you know.
07:10I wish things were different, Vic.
07:15I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:17What happens to my team?
07:18Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:31Things got so bad she had to get hair.
07:34Implants.
07:36Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:39These jobs are their lifelines.
07:41Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:44You can't just throw them away.
07:47Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:51No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:56Or we can shift the math.
08:00You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:05Think 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, babe.
08:23Who say you care about them?
08:25Prove it.
08:38What?
09:01Five grand.
09:03That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:05That's what I'm worth to them.
09:08Careful.
09:21I got you.
09:28Vincent?
09:30Vincent Chevalier?
09:32Hi.
09:35High school feels like another lifetime.
09:38Doesn'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.
09:56How would you feel about not having to answer as single-minded executives anymore?
10:06Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:10What are you getting at exactly?
10:11I'm talking about you and me.
10:12Partners.
10:13You're genius.
10:14My money.
10:15No corporate BS.
10:16No one holding you back.
10:17I've got a baby to think about now.
10:18And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:26Just saying.
10:27Just saying.
10:28Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:29You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:33Got your spy here?
10:34Don't mind me.
10:35Don't mind me.
10:36I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing.
10:37Triple her salary.
10:38Corner office.
10:39I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:42Just saying.
10:43Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:44You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:48Got your spy here?
10:49Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
11:02Triple her salary.
11:03Corner office.
11:04Before the vultures at LB or Chanel swoop in.
11:08So you're dumpster diving now.
11:11Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:15It'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.
11:29If 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?
11:45Actually, those were my designs.
11:52What did you just say?
11:54The spring collection.
11:55The Cartier pieces.
11:57I designed them.
11:59Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:02Oops.
12:03Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:06I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:09Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:20So what?
12:21Sketches get passed around all the time.
12:23It doesn't prove squat.
12:24Maybe she was your little...
12:26What do they call it?
12:27Ghost designer?
12:29And the logo?
12:31The 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.
12:47It's funny.
12:48All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their world.
12:53They all have EW and GW sewn in, too.
12:56Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
12:59Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:02It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:07Is 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.
13:18The logo?
13:19It's...
13:20It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:25You lying little bitch!
13:27That promotion was for saving the company.
13:34Look at the logo again.
13:35It's not EW or GW.
13:39It's actually two M's.
13:42MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:48See?
13:49One M flipped.
13:50One upright.
13:52It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:56It's mine.
13:57That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:01Oh my god, she's right.
14:02It does look more like two M's.
14:04You're manipulative bitch.
14:07You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:12You learned well, Mia.
14:15Maybe too well.
14:16You'll regret this.
14:20Not Vincent.
14:21We don't have to sink to their level.
14:24Okay.
14:25Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:27My Ferrari's outside.
14:29And I got this.
14:30You shouldn't be carrying anymore.
14:34No.
14:37Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:40Just...
14:41Take care of Miranda and Pauline, will you?
14:46That's right! Get the hell out of my company!
14:49Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:51All in Victoria.
15:02A VIP invitation...
15:03As a fashionable.
15:04Front row...
15:05I didn't even find it...
15:06Lightning...
15:07Every pregnant woman fired. All of us. Just like that. No severance. No warning. Nothing. But a box and a security escort.
15:27Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities. Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign and bonus my writing star.
15:40Now, about Paris Fashion Week. Your designs are eagerly awaited.
15:48You should have kept your legs closed.
15:57Oh, my God, Mom. This is insane. I can't believe we're actually here.
16:03Victoria Winter. 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 Léveau. Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:19Wait. Maison Léveau?
16:21Well, well. The Queen without her crown graces us with her presence. Brave of you to show up here.
16:29What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:34Leaving so soon?
16:35You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:38Has Mommy Dearest filled you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:46Mom, is that true?
16:51Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
16:56Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter. Still pretending she matters.
17:04My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:08If Maison Léveau 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.
17:22That's got a sting, huh?
17:24Exposed as 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.
17:37That's enough.
17:40That's enough.
17:42That's enough.
17:44You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:47You never belonged in this world.
17:49Look at her.
17:51A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
17:55That dress.
17:57It's a cheap knockoff.
17:58Wearing 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.
18:15We 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.
18:25Take your hands off her now!
18:31Vincent.
18:37You're dismissed.
18:46You alright?
18:50You alright?
18:51I'm fine.
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?
19:02That knockoff?
19:04That you're so eager to trash her for?
19:07It's Chauvin.
19:09Haute Couture.
19:11Winter Collection.
19:13Not even released yet.
19:15Price tag?
19:17300,000.
19:18Wow!
19:20You gave her that.
19:21That's right.
19:22You did.
19:25I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:29Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:31Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy!
19:35Mr. Billionaire's not her white knight.
19:37He's her walking trust fund.
19:41Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:44It's just so predictably desperate.
19:46You really don't understand real talent, do you?
19:53For those of you who don't know me,
19:56I'm Vincent Chevalier.
19:59CEO of Jeven.
20:00And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:07I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:11Your 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?
20:22I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:27But in the meantime, what I will do
20:30is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:35She won't let you down, boss.
20:39You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:42She's nothing but a has-been.
20:44The show is about to start.
20:47Your seats are waiting.
20:53Holy shit.
20:55The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
20:59Talk about a power couple.
21:01They could run the entire industry.
21:03This isn't over, bitch.
21:05Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:13So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:24Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:28Some 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.
21:46It's true.
21:48She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:51I've slaved away on those designs.
21:55Day and night.
21:57And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:03That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:06Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:11That's enough, Holly.
22:13Everyone 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?
22:26That's her real design strategy.
22:28Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:31And those kids she's so proud of? Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:35How dare you!
22:41Chris Jenkins, listen, Michaels.
22:44It's a disaster in there.
22:45There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
22:48Not now.
22:49Not now.
22:54The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
22:58The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:01We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:04Is this some kind of sick joke, Maisamovale?
23:06Are you cancelling the show because of your incompetence?
23:09This is completely unprofessional.
23:11I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:15This is breach of contract.
23:16It's actually fixable.
23:22Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
23:28Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:31Maisamovale appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:34Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled minutes before showtime.
23:38The question on everyone's mind?
23:40Is this the end for the once prestigious fashion groups?
23:47This show doesn't happen.
23:49You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
23:52We're talking billions, homie.
23:54Billions.
23:55Billions.
23:56Billions.
23:57Billions.
23:58Billions.
24:03Billions.
24:04now how the fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials I can't
24:25magically make new dresses in an hour you have exactly 30 minutes to make this
24:31work if you don't those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket
24:35that's billions of dollars then you better figure something out because if
24:41you don't I'll make sure you never work in fashion again

29:12Whoa. No wonder they call her the Nuclear Vic.
29:15It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:19The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:27Five minutes till showtime. You made it.
29:37Well? Do we pull the plug or not?
29:44We're good. Everything's back on track.
29:47See? I knew firing Victoria was the right call. You've got twice her talent.
29:53Yeah. Right.
29:56This is exactly why I promoted you. You fix vests, not make them.
30:07To Victoria.
30:09The real hero of the night.
30:21Mom, you're insane. I 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, it 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. Fraud.
30:47Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
30:51What are you talking about?
30:53Just ask the models. Any of them.
30:57Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement. About Miranda and Pauline.
31:03Pauline, I won't.
31:09Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:18Speaking of new beginnings...
31:20Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:24I want to help with their education.
31:28What?
31:29Vincent, that's too much. We barely know each other.
31:33Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
31:38I remember watching you win that regional competition.
31:44And that silver dress. The one you made from scratch.
31:48I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
31:55Do you remember that?
31:57I remember everything.
31:59I have followed your career all these years just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:07Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:09You were married.
32:11And then you weren't.
32:14And then you were building your career.
32:17The timing was never right.
32:20Until now.
32:22I have been waiting 20 years to do this.
32:35I should probably get this.
32:59Mia?
33:00God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:05That Milan disaster you turned around? Absolute magic.
33:09And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
33:13Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:20Sean Gosling?
33:21The Sean Gosling?
33:22The very one.
33:23Three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:27And if you play our cards right?
33:29The next face of Maison, the Bulls hands where?
33:32They're taking pitches now.
33:34If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:37For you.
33:38For the brand.
33:39Where it is?
33:40Joven's in the running too.
33:42Land this.
33:43Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
33:50Seal the deal?
33:51You're going to bump your pay by 20%.
33:53I've got this, Holly.
33:54You won't regret it.
34:03God, what am I going to do?
34:04I can't design menswear.
34:06I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:09Miranda and Paulina are gone too.
34:11I'm completely on my own.
34:13If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:21maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over it.
34:47Thanks for meeting me.
34:48I know things are complicated between us.
34:50You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
34:52Cut to the chase.
34:56We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks.
34:58Miranda and Pauline are also...
34:59Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:01She can handle this without me.
35:02Please, wait.
35:03There's more to it.
35:05After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:09Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:12I've been fighting for them.
35:13But...
35:14Are 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, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:24Have you worked with Sean before?
35:26No, but I've heard you have.
35:28Ages ago.
35:30I did a jacket for him for the Met Gala.
35:33Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept for him right before I left Maison La Valle.
35:36Really?
35:37What concept?
35:42Well...
35:43Perfect.
35:44He's handing everything over without even realizing.
35:46I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
35:52Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
35:56I do.
35:57Actually, I...
35:58I took them with me when I left Maison La Valle.
36:00Wait.
36:01Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:02How exactly is she part of this project?
36:03Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:04Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:05No.
36:06I don't know.
36:07No.
36:08No.
36:09No.
36:10No.
36:11No.
36:12No.
36:13No.
36:14No.
36:15No.
36:16No.
36:17No.
36:18No.
36:19No.
36:20No.
36:21No.
36:22No.
36:23No.
36:24No.
36:25No.
36:26No.
36:27No.
36:28No.
36:29No.
36:30No.
36:31No.
36:32No.
36:33No.
36:34What do you got here?
36:35What do you got here?
36:36What?
36:38Is the company covering your health insurance?
36:40Of course, Vic.
36:41Colleen and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:42We need to think about it.
36:45Take all the time you need.
36:52Man.
36:53Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:07Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:11The Sean Gosselin one with the black hats and lapels?
37:14That's the one.
37:15Can you check my home office?
37:17It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:21Got it.
37:22Grace is napping, it's the perfect timing.
37:24Thanks sweetie.
37:25I just need to double check something about that.
37:31Shoulder.
37:32Instruction.
37:34Mom, are you okay?
37:40Miranda?
37:42Vic?
37:46Mom, Mom, what's going on?
37:49Emily, I'll call you right back.
37:53Brenda, what happened?
37:54Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
37:57Girls don't pay themselves.
37:59You met my husband, old charm, no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
38:05Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
38:09What?
38:09What?
38:11Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:15After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:19No severance, no cover, nothing.
38:21Just gone.
38:22That's completely illegal.
38:25Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
38:31All at once.
38:32What are the odds, right?
38:34And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours down here, her sister medical bills keep piling
38:43up.
38:44And Mia knew about all this.
38:49Mia, front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
38:54Didn't even blink.
38:56Too busy admiring her shiny new create and direct title.
39:00She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
39:05Telling me her draw depended on me helping her.
39:08What?
39:10That bitch.
39:13This ends now.
39:20Damn it.
39:26Miss, Miss Michael.
39:27He's just arrived from Milan.
39:29We need approval by name for that.
39:31Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:42What are you all looking at?
39:43Get back to work.
39:45Victoria would never treat us like this.
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.
39:57If anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:01Well at least you could actually design it.
40:08What 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.
40:35I just need a little more time.
40:37We don't have more time.
40:38This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
40:40If Xu Fan gets this deal instead of us.
40:47What's that?
40:52It'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 when I'm designed by 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.
41:42Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
41:45The absolute nerve of this woman.
41:51She'll get her a sketch.
41:52And that's when we spring the trap.
41:54Right.
42:07You're early.
42:08Vic.
42:09I really need that sketch.
42:19I said I'd help.
42:20Not 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.
42:30Still lying Mia.
42:31You never learn.
42:32Guess it's payback time.
42:34So.
42:35Do you want my help or not?
42:37I can walk you through it.
42:38Your design could be just as good.
42:41She's such a snake.
42:44Vic.
42:45My stomach is killing me.
42:46Can you run to the pharmacy and get something please?
42:50Fine.
42:51But don't touch anything.
42:53It's a cute thing.
42:54You look so much.
42:55Well I can.
42:56I'm not going to work it out.
42:57That was a good thing.
42:58I'm not going to do it.
42:59It's a very awesome thing.
43:00I've been working the right one.
43:01I know.
43:02I can't wait.
43:03I can't wait.
43:04I can't wait.
43:05I can't wait.
43:06I'm not going to go.
43:07You really need to go okay.
43:09So you're going to go about this?
43:10I'll talk about this.
43:11Sorry, then. Survival of the face.
43:33You just let her take your work?
43:35She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
43:38You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves, go after the same clients, show them what real design looks like.
43:49We're not out yet.
44:02I heard there's a revolution, bro.
44:08I figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:14You're welcome, Mom.
44:19I want you and your team as your van.
44:24Full creative control.
44:27Oh, Miranda, your husband's debt is handled.
44:30And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:35Mr. Chevalier, I...
44:37I'm Pauline.
44:39Your sister is in good hands.
44:41The best heart surgeon in the country.
44:44It's already prepping for her next surgery.
44:47Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
44:50Don't thank me.
44:51Thank Victoria.
44:52I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
44:57Vincent, I...
44:58I don't even know what to say.
45:01It's about time you all get what you deserve.
46:09You're here.
46:10And you're still here.
46:12Final tweaks. The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:19You've got Grace to sleep.
46:23Yeah.
46:25And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:31Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
46:33Remember, smile. We're about to make this week.
46:44Maison Laveau sets the bar.
46:47We don't follow trends. We create them.
46:50Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:04I 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.
47:27I didn't expect to see you here. I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
47:37I multitask.
47:39Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
47:42You know, Holly, your fresh-blood strategies work in wonders.
47:48The office is so empty, it echoes.
47:51And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
47:55Pregnant women talk, you know.
47:57Three exit please and a rival CEO.
48:00What's next? The cake 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.
48:12Sean, I'm glad you could make it.
48:25We 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.
48:39Thank you, Sean. It's good to see you.
48:42Let's begin the pitches.
48:45You ready to lose?
48:47You're out of your league.
48:48You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
48:51First up, me and McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:18Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:21Beautiful 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?
50:12Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:16Who designed this tuxedo?
50:17Did you even read the brief?
50:21I mean...
50:22You must have read the brief.
50:24It's not complicated.
50:25It says no synthetic blends.
50:28I mean...
50:30It 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 design.
50:50I 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.
51:09Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:14Mia's design was the front runner all along.
51:17That's why they picked her first.
51:22Maybe everyone should see this.
51:29Wait, Mia.
51:31Did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:37That's a new low.
51:38Even for you.
51:43Maison Laveau
51:44will 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.
52:19Victoria, please.
52:30I'll do anything.
52:31Please just help me save the company,
52:33the brand you built for 15 years.
52:36You made your choices, Holly.
52:38Now you look at them.
52:42Why don't you go too far?
52:49Sean Gosling's look tonight
52:51is a game changer
52:52crafted by the trailblazing team
52:54at Joe Bend.
52:55Social media is already calling it
52:57The Winter Revolution.
53:05To the best comeback in fashion history
53:08and to the women who made it happen.
53:11And to the maternity leave
53:13that actually means something.
53:14Mom,
53:18you might want to see this.
53:30Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:34Happy birthday to you!
53:41Nice.
53:42Look.
53:44Maison Laveau on the brink.
53:46Scandal pushes fashion giant
53:48towards bankruptcy.
53:50Ouch.
53:51I guess karma has a sense of humor.
53:54It's strange, isn't it?
53:59We gave them everything.
54:01Late nights,
54:02weekends,
54:03all the best years
54:05and they tossed us aside
54:06like we were nothing.
54:08Now it's all crashing down.
54:10I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:12Honestly,
54:13it's a weird mix.
54:15Relief,
54:16sure,
54:16but
54:17also a little bit of grief.
54:19Look,
54:20who said that our best years
54:21are behind us?
54:23Look at this.
54:26Jeven pushes for
54:27paid leave
54:28and parental support
54:29across
54:29all industries.
54:31Victoria,
54:32this is you.
54:33You did this.
54:36Here's to a future
54:37where women don't have to choose
54:39between their families
54:40and their careers.
54:41not just for us
54:43but for every woman
54:44who comes after.
54:46Careful, Vincent.
54:48You almost forgot the best part.
55:01Victoria Winter.
55:02will you marry me?
55:10Yes!
55:11A thousand times yes!
55:13Woo!
