00:00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The system crashed mid-upload. Half the collection is the wrong season. Wrong everything.
00:00:20One runway is in 48 hours. If productions start with these botched designs, we're all dead. Not just fire, we're dead.
00:00:32Company collapses, our careers are over. Come out here and talk to us. We have 8 million tied up in this collection.
00:00:40I have a fast ninja. Right now, one word for me, your industry poison.
00:00:50Enough. Vic!
00:01:04Mia, Japanese indigo. Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those ultras.
00:01:14Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes. 28 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot. 27 now. Tick tock.
00:01:30I'm done. Crisis averted. I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes. Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in. This will show you.
00:01:48I'm done. Crisis averted. I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes. Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in. This will show you.
00:01:58Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
00:02:08Vic, are you okay?
00:02:12Just practice some picks. Nothing to...
00:02:18Oh my god, your water broke.
00:02:20Mom, we're seriously in active labor while saving the entire company.
00:02:30Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin.
00:02:34Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but...
00:02:40I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since...
00:02:44He decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
00:02:48That's my girl.
00:02:50Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But...
00:03:02There's...
00:03:04A condition.
00:03:05We need to slash costs.
00:03:07Immediately.
00:03:09Layoffs.
00:03:10That's it without leave.
00:03:15Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
00:03:20Well, just remember.
00:03:21Whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster...
00:03:24They get immunity.
00:03:26In fact, um...
00:03:28They deserve a promotion.
00:03:30No way, Miss Victoria went to where saved the company since she's not even there.
00:03:41Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted.
00:03:45Pre-orders are pouring in.
00:03:47Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
00:03:51Oh, actually...
00:03:53How about I make you the new creative director?
00:03:55Starting today.
00:03:56Oh, my God. Is this really happening?
00:04:01She's offering me Victoria's job?
00:04:03I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
00:04:11But, Victoria...
00:04:13Don't worry about her.
00:04:14Look at that useless pregnant.
00:04:15I'm just not fired.
00:04:21You know that collection I just rescued, Ab?
00:04:23I hid something in the design.
00:04:27Your initials and now little graces.
00:04:31Hold them right into the fabric.
00:04:37And that could be a Milan runway?
00:04:40Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
00:04:44Enough for your full tuition at private school.
00:04:47Mom, you ain't have to.
00:04:49We're going to that private school.
00:04:51No discussion.
00:04:53Your sister and I will manage just fine.
00:04:56This job will keep us afloat.
00:04:58I love you, Mom.
00:05:10Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
00:05:15After all these years in your shadow, Victoria,
00:05:18I'm finally taking what I deserve.
00:05:19I'm finally taking what I deserve.
00:05:35Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
00:05:37What the hell?
00:05:47Listen up, everyone.
00:05:49Victoria Wintour is terminated.
00:05:52Effective immediately.
00:05:54You can't just do that.
00:05:56She's in the hospital having her baby.
00:05:58They're a loss against this.
00:06:00Vic worked while in labor.
00:06:03She's the creative backbone of Maison Legault.
00:06:06Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggos are bleeding us dry.
00:06:10Everything okay here?
00:06:16Great timing.
00:06:18Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
00:06:21Clear out your desk now.
00:06:23You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
00:06:34I saved this company three times when your father could have been here.
00:06:38Three times.
00:06:42Whoa.
00:06:44That's ancient history.
00:06:46The board wants fresh blood.
00:06:48And Nia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
00:06:51What?
00:06:56I'm the one who...
00:07:00Nia, you...
00:07:03Feel that curve.
00:07:05That's your signature.
00:07:07That's what makes it Maison Leveaux.
00:07:13How could you?
00:07:15I taught you everything you know.
00:07:21I wish things were different, Vic.
00:07:25I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
00:07:30What happens to my team?
00:07:31Miranda 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 loo.
00:07:54These jobs are their lifelines.
00:07:56Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
00:07:59You can't just throw them away.
00:08:00Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
00:08:05No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection.
00:08:08But hey, that's corporate America for you.
00:08:11Or, we can shift the math.
00:08:14You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
00:08:18Think of it as taking one for the team.
00:08:24Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
00:08:28And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
00:08:32They can't lose their jobs.
00:08:37Come on, babe, because they care about them.
00:08:40Prove it.
00:08:48I don't know.
00:09:16Fine.
00:09:18That's my severed package after 15 years.
00:09:21That's what I'm worth to them.
00:09:36Careful.
00:09:38I got you.
00:09:45Vincent?
00:09:47Vincent Chevalier.
00:09:49Hi.
00:09:52High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
00:09:55Isn't it?
00:10:05So.
00:10:06It's true.
00:10:09Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Rizan 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?
00:10:29I'm talking about you and me.
00:10:30Pardon us.
00:10:31You're genius.
00:10:32My money.
00:10:33No corporate BS.
00:10:34No one holding me back.
00:10:35I've got a baby to think about now.
00:10:36And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
00:10:41Just saying.
00:10:42Vincent Chevalier.
00:10:43Vincent Chevalier.
00:10:44Wow.
00:10:45You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
00:10:48That is Michael Spigman?
00:10:49Don't mind me.
00:10:50I've got a baby to think about now.
00:10:51I've got a baby to think about now.
00:10:53And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
00:10:57Just saying.
00:11:05Vincent Chevalier.
00:11:06Wow!
00:11:07You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
00:11:12That is Michael.
00:11:15Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing, triple her salary, corner office.
00:11:25Before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
00:11:29So 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, it's Victoria's spring collection, right?
00:11:47The earrings, it'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.
00:12:12What 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 for me.
00:12:24Oops, looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
00:12:28I thought you were better than this, Mia.
00:12:31That explained my signature. On the original sketch dated six months ago.
00:12:38So what? Sketches get passed around all the time, it doesn't prove squat.
00:12:43Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
00:12:46dress designer? And the logo?
00:12:55The EW, woven in. Victoria's signature mark. It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
00:13:02Tell me, explain it and make me shut up.
00:13:10It's funny. All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's using for.
00:13:16They all have EW and GW so many, too. Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter. Her newborn is Grace Winter.
00:13:27It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
00:13:31Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
00:13:36Well, Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.
00:13:43The logo, it's... it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
00:13:50You lying little bitch!
00:13:53That promotion is from saving the company.
00:13:55Look at the logo again. It's not EW or GW. It's actually two M's.
00:14:08MM for McMichael, my last name.
00:14:14See? One M flipped, one upright. It's not for Grace or Emily. It's mine.
00:14:24That is absolutely ridiculous.
00:14:27Oh my god, she's right. It does look more like two M's.
00:14:32Human, they've been a little bitch. You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
00:14:38You learned well, Mia. Maybe too well.
00:14:43You'll regret this.
00:14:46Come on, Vincent. We don't have to sink to that level.
00:14:49Okay. And I'll be driving home, okay?
00:14:54Bye for hours outside.
00:14:56When I got this, you should be carrying it.
00:14:59Okay.
00:15:03Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
00:15:07Just take care of the matter of Paulie for you.
00:15:10That's right. Get the hell out of my company. Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
00:15:18Paulie, Victoria.
00:15:25A VIP invitation for Paris Fashion Week.
00:15:31Primero. I think you'll find it.
00:15:34Lightning.
00:15:35Every pregnant woman fired. All of us. Just like that. No severance. No warning. Nothing. But a box and a security escort.
00:15:55What do you ask her?
00:16:01Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
00:16:05Their termination people were practically paid for your sign and bonus made right in Star.
00:16:10Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
00:16:13Your designs are eagerly awaited.
00:16:18You should have kept your legs closed.
00:16:19Oh my god, mom. This is insane. I can't believe we're actually here.
00:16:34Victoria Wintour. It's a nuclear vehicle.
00:16:37Your mom's basically a legend. You know that, right?
00:16:41We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Lavaux.
00:16:45Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
00:16:47Wait. Maison Lavaux?
00:16:50Well, well. The queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
00:16:53Brave of you to show up here.
00:16:55What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
00:16:59Leaving so soon. You haven't introduced me to your princess.
00:17:05Does mommy dearest build you in on her little career update?
00:17:09About getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
00:17:11I don't know.
00:17:13I don't know.
00:17:14Mom, is that true?
00:17:15Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
00:17:28Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour. Still pretending she matters.
00:17:32My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
00:17:39If Maison Lavaux was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
00:17:46That'll look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
00:17:51Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
00:17:55That's got a sting, huh?
00:17:57Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
00:18:01Hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
00:18:06If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
00:18:11That's enough.
00:18:15That's enough.
00:18:18You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
00:18:21You never belonged in this world.
00:18:23Look at her.
00:18:25A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
00:18:28That dress...
00:18:31It's a cheap knockoff.
00:18:34Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week is not just pathetic.
00:18:38It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
00:18:42What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:18:47Remove that dress.
00:18:49We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
00:18:53Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
00:18:56And let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
00:19:01Take your hands off her now.
00:19:06Vincent.
00:19:12You're dismissed.
00:19:22You alright?
00:19:26I'm full.
00:19:28Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
00:19:32The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
00:19:35What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
00:19:39That knockoff?
00:19:41That you're so here to trash her for?
00:19:44It's Chevenne.
00:19:46But the tour.
00:19:47Winter Collection.
00:19:49Not even released yet.
00:19:51Price tag?
00:19:52300,000.
00:19:54Wow!
00:19:56You gave her that.
00:19:58That's right.
00:20:00You did.
00:20:02I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted.
00:20:05Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
00:20:08Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy.
00:20:11Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
00:20:14He's her walking trust fund.
00:20:16Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
00:20:20It's just so predictably desperate.
00:20:22You really don't understand real talent, do you?
00:20:32For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier.
00:20:36CEO of Chevenne.
00:20:39And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
00:20:45I have followed your career from a distance for years.
00:20:50Your brilliance.
00:20:52Your principles.
00:20:54Your passion.
00:20:56Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
00:21:00Mom, did you know about this?
00:21:01I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
00:21:06But 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.
00:21:18You'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.
00:21:27Your seats are waiting.
00:21:28Holy shit.
00:21:30The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
00:21:34Talk about a power couple.
00:21:36They can run the entire industry.
00:21:38This isn't over, bitch.
00:21:40Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
00:21:41You seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
00:21:42What?
00:21:43Some talents you recognize immediately.
00:21:47Some people do.
00:21:58Did you seriously get in love with my mom since high school?
00:22:05Some talents you recognize immediately.
00:22:10Some people do.
00:22:16Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
00:22:21This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
00:22:24She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
00:22:30It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.
00:22:34I slaved away on those designs day and night.
00:22:40And 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.
00:23:06Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
00:23:10That's her real design strategy.
00:23:13Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
00:23:15And those kids she's so proud of, who knows who their real fathers are.
00:23:21How dare you!
00:23:22Stop it, Holly.
00:23:23Listen, Miles. Listen, Miles.
00:23:28It's a disaster in there.
00:23:30There's something wrong with the collection.
00:23:31It's the fabric.
00:23:33Not now.
00:23:34The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
00:23:43The dresses are literally falling apart.
00:23:46We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
00:23:48Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Movado?
00:23:51Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
00:23:54This is completely unprofessional.
00:23:56I have 10 million invested in this collection.
00:24:00This is breach of contract.
00:24:01It's actually fixable.
00:24:07Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
00:24:14Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
00:24:17Maison Movado appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
00:24:20Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
00:24:24The question on everyone's mind?
00:24:26Is this the end for one's prestigious fashion books?
00:24:32This show doesn't happen.
00:24:35You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
00:24:38We're talking billions, Holly.
00:24:40Billions.
00:25:01So, let me outros feet seiships six pieces out of life.
00:25:05What does he do?
00:25:06What is this?
00:25:07Now!
00:25:08How?
00:25:09The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
00:25:13I 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 millions or billions of dollars.
00:25:25billions of dollars.
00:25:27Then you better figure something out.
00:25:29Because if you don't,
00:25:31I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
00:25:45Miss Winter, how do you respond of 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,
00:25:59you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
00:26:02We're gathering evidence as we speak.
00:26:15Excuse me.
00:26:17Excuse me.
00:26:19It's okay, Pop. Put me right.
00:26:24What 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.
00:26:39Look, I know you're furious. I would be too. But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
00:26:48What about them?
00:26:49Their jobs are on the line with this show. If we tank, they're done. Holly will fire them without a second thought.
00:26:56Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out with you.
00:27:02Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
00:27:05Yes, absolutely. And they're counting on this being a hit.
00:27:09Please, Vic, not for me. For them. For school.
00:27:15I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make or break show.
00:27:20What exactly happened to them, Mia?
00:27:22They, they couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.
00:27:31Is that right?
00:27:33Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
00:27:40Fine.
00:27:42I'll help you. But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline. Not for you.
00:27:59Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter. A nuclear beck.
00:28:03I need scissors, thread and fresh lining fabric. Now.
00:28:12I need royal fuchsia for this stitching. Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
00:28:18Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
00:28:24Would this work?
00:28:31Vincent, how did you...
00:28:35I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Jovan as an emergency kit.
00:28:42This is perfect, but Jovan and Maison Laveau are competitors. Why would you help them?
00:28:51I'm not helping them. I'm helping you.
00:28:56I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
00:28:59I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone. It's yours now.
00:29:05I don't want your design, Victoria.
00:29:10Then what do you want?
00:29:13You.
00:29:16What?
00:29:20Your talent. Your vision.
00:29:24Come and work at Jovan.
00:29:26I'm in.
00:29:29I'll work for you.
00:29:31Just like that?
00:29:32Just like that.
00:29:33Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
00:29:37I hate it when I'm gone.
00:29:45I wish I was cool.
00:29:47Like the new girl at school.
00:29:50I regret it.
00:29:51So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get.
00:29:54I don't want me back.
00:29:57Don't ever change.
00:30:00I'm gonna be proud of my name.
00:30:05She's doing it in minutes.
00:30:07What would have taken us hours?
00:30:09Whoa.
00:30:11No wonder they call it the nuclear pick.
00:30:13It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
00:30:17The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
00:30:25Five minutes till showtime. You made it.
00:30:27We made it.
00:30:41Well, do we pull the plug or not?
00:30:44We're good. Everything's back on track.
00:30:46See?
00:30:48I knew firing Victoria was the right call. You've got twice your talent.
00:30:53Yeah, right.
00:30:54Right.
00:30:55This is exactly why I promoted you.
00:30:58You fix this, it's not Nathan.
00:31:07To Victoria.
00:31:09The real hero of the night.
00:31:10Mom, you're insane. I can't believe you actually picked that disaster in under an hour.
00:31:27Couldn't have done it without you.
00:31:28You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
00:31:41Well, well, still hanging around.
00:31:44I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party. Fraud.
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. Any of them.
00:31:58Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement. About Miranda and Pauline.
00:32:04Two new beginnings at Chauvin?
00:32:05Speaking of new beginnings. Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
00:32:10I want to help. With her education.
00:32:13What? Vincent, that's too much. We barely know each other.
00:32:14Victoria...I've known you since we were seventeen.
00:32:16I remember when I was a kid at the car.
00:32:18You were a kid at the car.
00:32:20I don't think I'm a kid. I'm a kid at the car.
00:32:21It's my kid.
00:32:22My kid is a kid.
00:32:23I'm a kid.
00:32:24I'm a kid.
00:32:25I'm a kid at the car.
00:32:26He's a kid.
00:32:27I'm a kid at the car.
00:32:28One of the things that I'm a kid.
00:32:29I said, I'm a kid, man.
00:32:30I know.
00:32:31I'm a kid, man.
00:32:32I can't get that kid.
00:32:33I'm a kid.
00:32:34I'm a kid.
00:32:35Why?
00:32:36I'm a kid.
00:32:37I'm a kid.
00:32:38I'm a kid.
00:32:39I was a kid.
00:32:40was 17. I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver
00:32:48dress, the one you made from scratch. I saw the way your eyes lit up when you
00:32:55talked about changing the fashion world.
00:32:58You remember that?
00:33:00I remember everything. I have followed your career all these years just hoping
00:33:09that our paths would cross again.
00:33:11Why didn't you ever reach out?
00:33:13We were married. And then you worked. And then you were building your career. The timing
00:33:22was never right. Until now.
00:33:27I have been waiting for 20 years to live.
00:33:39I should probably get this.
00:33:55Mia?
00:34:04God, I was so right about firing Victoria. That Milan disaster you turned around? Absolute
00:34:14magic. And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good. Sean Gosling needs
00:34:20a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet. Sean Gosling? The Sean Gosling? The very one, three-time
00:34:30Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive. And if we play our cards right, the next place
00:34:35remains on the both hands where they're taking pitches now. If he picks yours, this changes
00:34:42everything. For you, for the brand. Where it is, Jovan's in the running too. Lanthus, Vincent,
00:34:50and this poor Victoria are done. Seal the deal? I'll bump your pay by 20%. I've got this, Holly.
00:35:01You won't regret it. God, what am I going to do? I can't design menswear. I barely pulled
00:35:14off the woman's with Victoria's help. Miranda and Pauline are gone too. I'm completely on
00:35:20my own. If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria, maybe
00:35:30I can squeeze one more vehicle over it.
00:35:55Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.
00:35:58You mentioned Miranda and Pauline. Cut to the chase.
00:36:05We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks. Miranda and Pauline are also in the...
00:36:09Miranda's excellent menswear. She can handle this without me.
00:36:12Please, wait. There's more to it. After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric
00:36:17disaster. Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block. I've been fighting for them.
00:36:22Are you serious? Pauline's due any day now. Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot. If we land it, I can convince
00:36:31Holly to keep them both. Have you worked with Sean before? No, but I've heard you have. Ages ago. I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala. Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison.
00:36:46Oh, really? What concept?
00:36:53Well...
00:36:54Perfect. She's handing everything over without even realizing. I'll use our design to save my ass and land this project.
00:37:15Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
00:37:18I do. Actually, I... I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
00:37:26Wait. Miranda went on maternity leave last week. How 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.
00:37:38Is the company covering her health insurance?
00:37:42Of course, Vic.
00:37:45Colleen and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
00:37:50You need to know what.
00:37:52Take all the time you need.
00:37:54Mia.
00:37:56Don't make me regret trusting me.
00:37:59Again.
00:38:08Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
00:38:20Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
00:38:24The Sean Gosselin one with the black section lapels?
00:38:27That's the one.
00:38:29Can you check my home office? It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
00:38:33Got it. Grace is napping. The perfect timing.
00:38:38Thanks, sweetie. I just need to go check something about them.
00:38:44Shoulder.
00:38:46Instruction.
00:38:48Mom, are you okay?
00:38:54Miranda?
00:38:56Vic?
00:38:57Mom! Mom! What's going on?
00:39:03Emilia, I'll call you right back.
00:39:07Brenda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
00:39:12The girls don't pay for themselves.
00:39:14You had left my house with an old child with no paycheck.
00:39:18And now there's a newborn at home.
00:39:20Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
00:39:25What? Is that the story she's spinning now?
00:39:29After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
00:39:35No surveillance, no copper and nothing. Just gone.
00:39:39That's completely illegal.
00:39:41Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
00:39:46All at once. What are the odds, right?
00:39:51And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours diner.
00:39:56Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
00:40:04And Mia knew about all this.
00:40:07Mia, front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
00:40:11Didn't even blink.
00:40:13Too 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.
00:40:31Damn it!
00:40:32Miss Michael, let's just arrive from Milan.
00:40:46We need approval by name.
00:40:48Can'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 change.
00:41:08I heard that.
00:41:10You think Victoria is so perfect?
00:41:12And 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.
00:41:20Well, 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.
00:41:33She's a galsing bitch. Tell me you have something presentable.
00:41:39Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
00:41:42Show me.
00:41:44It's not quite ready for me.
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 man gets this deal instead of us.
00:42:06What's that?
00:42:07What's that?
00:42:13It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
00:42:18I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
00:42:22Get me when you design me 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 still can't believe I'm using this as well.
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.
00:43:32Bec.
00:43:33I really need that sketch.
00:43:34I said I'd help.
00:43:44Not hand over my design.
00:43:46Holly'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 funnel scene and get something please?
00:44:14Fine.
00:44:16But don't touch anything.
00:44:31Fine.
00:44:32I'm sorry the survival of the fittest.
00:44:45I want you.
00:44:48It's fun.
00:44:52You just let her take your work.
00:44:53you just let her take your work she walked out with exactly what i wanted her to have
00:45:05you know boss we could pitch ourselves go after the same clients show them what real design looks

00:47:37We're here.
00:47:42And you're still here.
00:47:44Final tweaks.
00:47:46The 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.
00:48:07Remember, smile.
00:48:13We're about to make the sleep.
00:48:18Maison Laveau sets the bar.
00:48:21We don't follow trends.
00:48:22We create them.
00:48:23Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Metcala moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
00:48:37I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
00:48:41What is that bitch doing here?
00:48:53Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
00:48:57My company's thriving because of your generosity.
00:49:03I didn't expect to see you here.
00:49:06I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
00:49:12I multitask.
00:49:14Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
00:49:17You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work you clutters.
00:49:23The office is so empty, it echoes.
00:49:27And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
00:49:31Pregnant women talk, you know.
00:49:33Three excellent reason if I'm the CEO.
00:49:36What's next?
00:49:37The pitch sale?
00:49:38Laugh all you want, Holly.
00:49:41We're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
00:49:44And what real loyalty looks like.
00:49:59Sean, glad you could make it.
00:50:01We have something very special to show you.
00:50:07Pick.
00:50:08I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl.
00:50:13You never know.
00:50:15Congratulations.
00:50:16Thank you, Sean.
00:50:17It's good to see you.
00:50:19Let's begin the pitches.
00:50:22You ready to lose?
00:50:24You're out of your league.
00:50:26You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
00:50:36First up, me and McMichael.
00:50:38Maison Laveau.
00:50:57Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:51:00Beautiful work.
00:51:11Both themes.
00:51:12Thanks.
00:51:16We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
00:51:18After careful consideration, we're awarding Project 2.
00:51:30Maison Laveau.
00:51:31Oh my God.
00:51:34Of course.
00:51:36This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
00:51:39What the hell did you people put me in?
00:51:51Are you trying to kill me?
00:51:53Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
00:51:56Who designed this tuxedo?
00:51:58Did you even read the brief?
00:52:02I mean, you must have read the brief.
00:52:05It's not complicated.
00:52:06It says no synthetic blend.
00:52:09I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
00:52:12Perhaps Nia overlooked something.
00:52:15A mistake?
00:52:16I could have ended up in the emergency room.
00:52:19Victoria, please, tell these amateurs
00:52:23why you pulled your glasses off.
00:52:32I pulled my design
00:52:33because the only fabric left was synthetic.
00:52:36I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
00:52:39And that's why Victoria's the best.
00:52:42She actually pays attention.
00:52:43After reviewing all the entries,
00:52:46the committee has reached a decision.
00:52:48The commission goes to
00:52:49Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:52:52Good luck.
00:52:53Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
00:52:57Nia's design was the front runner all along.
00:53:00That's why they picked her first.
00:53:05Maybe everyone should see this.
00:53:13Wait, Nia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
00:53:20That's a new logo.
00:53:22Even for you.
00:53:27Maison Laveau
00:53:28will be hearing from my liars.
00:53:31And so you know,
00:53:33I will be supporting Victoria's case
00:53:35for design.
00:53:38Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
00:53:41We're suspending all collaborations.
00:53:44Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
00:53:57You're blacklisted.
00:53:58Victoria, please.
00:54:04Victoria, please.
00:54:05Victoria, please.
00:54:05Victoria, please.
00:54:05Victoria, please.
00:54:13Victoria, please.
00:54:16I'll do anything.
00:54:17Please just help me save the company,
00:54:19the brand that you built for 15 years.
00:54:21You made your choices, Holly.
00:54:24Now you live with them.
00:54:28Why don't we go too far?
00:54:36Sean Gosling's look tonight is a dame junior
00:54:38crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
00:54:40Social media is already calling it
00:54:43the Winter Revolution.
00:54:52To the best comeback in fashion history
00:54:55and to the women who made it happen.
00:54:58And to the maternity leave
00:55:00that actually means something.
00:55:02Mom, you might want to see this.
00:55:17Happy birthday, Victoria.
00:55:22Happy birthday to you!
00:55:29Nice.
00:55:30Look.
00:55:32Maison Léveau on the brink.
00:55:35Scandal pushes fashion giant
00:55:36towards bankruptcy.
00:55:38Ouch.
00:55:39I guess karma has a sense of humor.
00:55:42It's strange, isn't it?
00:55:48I gave them everything.
00:55:50Late nights, weekends,
00:55:53all the best years,
00:55:54and they tossed us aside
00:55:55like we were nothing.
00:55:58Now it's all crashing down.
00:55:59I thought I'd feel vindicated.
00:56:02Honestly, it's a weird mix.
00:56:05Relief, sure, but
00:56:06also a little bit of grief.
00:56:09Look,
00:56:10who said that our best years
00:56:11are behind us?
00:56:13Look at this!
00:56:16Joven pushes for
00:56:17pay, leave, and parental support
00:56:19across
00:56:19all industries.
00:56:21Victoria, this is you!
00:56:23You did this!
00:56:24Here's to a future
00:56:27where women don't have to choose
00:56:29between their families
00:56:30and their careers.
00:56:32Not just for us,
00:56:33but for every woman
00:56:34who comes after.
00:56:36Careful, Vincent.
00:56:38You almost forgot the best part.
00:56:39Victoria wins her.
00:56:56Will you marry me?
00:56:57Yes!
00:57:03A thousand times, yes!
00:57:05Woo!
00:57:05Yay!
00:57:05Woooo!
00:57:17Woooo!
00:57:25That's Amber!
00:57:35You came. I thought you didn't want to see me like this.
00:57:47I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
00:57:51One word got out you left. Clients failed.
00:57:55The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.
00:57:59You steered me as on the boat into this storm, Holly.
00:58:07I know. I know.
00:58:11My father...
00:58:14The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
00:58:18I destroyed everything.
00:58:21I thought slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
00:58:26I didn't mean to pretend like this.
00:58:31Maison Laveau isn't dead.
00:58:34I bought it.
00:58:35Last week.
00:58:37The brand.
00:58:39The archives.
00:58:40Even the debt.
00:58:42It's part of Given now.
00:58:44You blind? Why would you do that?
00:58:47To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
00:58:51You win, Victoria.
00:58:53To help you do better than I did.
00:58:55I'll do it differently.
00:58:56Goodbye, Holly.
00:58:57Miss Windsor.
00:58:58Miss Windsor.
00:58:59I just...
00:59:00I want to thank you.
00:59:02To help you do better than I did.
00:59:04I'll do it differently.
00:59:05Goodbye, Holly.
00:59:06Miss Windsor.
00:59:07Miss Windsor.
00:59:08Miss Windsor.
00:59:10I just...
00:59:11I want to thank you.
00:59:12Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
00:59:17Miss Wintour, I just, I want to thank you.
00:59:27Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
00:59:32I can keep working and have my baby.
00:59:37You changed everything.
00:59:41Congratulations.
00:59:42Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
00:59:47Ready?
00:59:58Always.
01:00:10And now, Jovan's new collection, designed by Victoria Wintour and Ruthie.
01:00:17Wishing you and your little one every last minute on earth.
