00:00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The system crashed mid-upload. Half the collection is the wrong season. Wrong everything.
00:00:19Runway is in 48 hours. If productions start with these botched designs, they're all dead. Not just fire, they're dead.
00:00:31Company collapses, our careers are over. Come out here and talk to us. We have 8 million tied up in this collection.
00:00:39I have a bastard. Right now, one word from me, your industry poison.
00:00:49Enough. Vic!
00:01:03Mia, Japanese indigo. Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those ultras.
00:01:17Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
00:01:2128 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
00:01:2527 now. Tick tock.
00:01:29I'm done. Crisis averted.
00:01:39I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes.
00:01:43Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
00:01:57The vet? Are you okay?
00:02:11Just practice some hacks. Nothing to-
00:02:13What?
00:02:15Oh my god, your water broke.
00:02:17Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
00:02:30Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
00:02:33Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistants said he was more comfortable than ours.
00:02:47That's my girl.
00:02:49Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But there's a condition. We need to slash costs immediately.
00:03:07Layoffs? That's it without leave. Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
00:03:19Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Malayan disaster, they get immunity.
00:03:25In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
00:03:32No way this Victoria went or saved the company since she's not even there.
00:03:40Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
00:03:46You, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
00:03:49Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
00:03:57Oh my god, is this really happening?
00:04:00She's offering me Victoria's job?
00:04:02I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
00:04:10But, Victoria-
00:04:12Don't worry about her.
00:04:13That useless pregnant is not fired.
00:04:20Yeah, that collection I just rescued, Em.
00:04:24I hid something in the design.
00:04:27Your initials and now little graces.
00:04:30Hold them right into the fabric.
00:04:36I hid something back to the Milan runway?
00:04:40Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
00:04:43Enough for your full tuition of private school.
00:04:46Mom, you ain't have to.
00:04:47You're going to that private school.
00:04:50No discussion.
00:04:52Your sister and I will manage just fine.
00:04:55This job will keep us afloat.
00:04:57I love you, mom.
00:04:58Come on.
00:05:09Holy shit, Holly Ashley thought I was the one who saved the company.
00:05:14After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
00:05:18Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
00:05:32What the hell?
00:05:33Listen up, everyone.
00:05:34Victoria Winter is terminated.
00:05:35Affected immediately.
00:05:36You can't just do that.
00:05:37She's in the hospital having her baby.
00:05:38They're a loss against this.
00:05:39Vic worked while in labor.
00:05:40She's the creative backbone of Miss El Naveau.
00:05:41Maternity leave, medical insurance.
00:05:42These preggles are all over the place.
00:05:43What the hell?
00:05:44What the hell?
00:05:45Listen up, everyone.
00:05:46Victoria Winter is terminated.
00:05:47Affected immediately.
00:05:48You can't just do that.
00:05:49She's in the hospital having her baby.
00:05:50You can't just do that.
00:05:51She's in the hospital having her baby.
00:05:52They're a loss against this.
00:05:53Vic worked while in labor.
00:05:54She's the creative backbone of Miss El Naveau.
00:05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance.
00:06:08These preggles are bleeding us dry.
00:06:09Everything okay here?
00:06:12Great timing.
00:06:15Victoria Winter.
00:06:16timing. Victoria Wintour, you're fired. Clear out your desk now.
00:06:31You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you? I saved this company three times when your father
00:06:36could have been here. Three times. Well, that's ancient history. The word wants for
00:06:46fresh blood. And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
00:06:55I'm the one who... Mia, you...
00:07:02Feel that curve. That's some signature. That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
00:07:08How could you? I taught you everything you know.
00:07:22I wish things were different, Vic. I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
00:07:29What happens to my team?
00:07:37Miranda 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. Implants.
00:07:48Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
00:07:52These jobs are their lifelines. Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
00:07:58You can't just throw them away.
00:08:00Well, actually, legally speaking, we can. No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection.
00:08:07But hey, that's corporate America for you.
00:08:10Or we can shift the math.
00:08:12You sign. They stay. The budget works out.
00:08:18Think of it as...
00:08:21Taking one for the team.
00:08:23Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
00:08:27And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
00:08:31They can't lose their jobs.
00:08:32Come on, babe, because they care about them.
00:08:39Prove it.
00:08:40Behind you.
00:08:58Go, Danu.
00:09:02Who takes만들 to your specific house?
00:09:04Don't hesitate to leave.
00:09:05Because of the grace of God that never paired you with.
00:09:07That's my seventh package after 15 years, that's what I'm worth to them.
00:09:36Careful.
00:09:38I got you.
00:09:45Vincent? Vincent Chevalier.
00:09:49Hi.
00:09:52High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
00:10:04So, it's true.
00:10:08Great 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?
00:10:23Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
00:10:27What are you getting at exactly?
00:10:33I'm talking about you and me.
00:10:34I've got a baby to think about now.
00:10:40I've got a baby to think about now.
00:10:53And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
00:10:59Just saying.
00:11:04Vincent Chevalier, wow!
00:11:06You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
00:11:12Got your spy here?
00:11:13Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing, triple her salary, corner office.
00:11:23You know, before the vultures at LB or Chanel swooping.
00:11:28Oh, so you're dumpster-diving now, rescuing the washed-up single mom with outdated ideas.
00:11:34It's an interesting take to have, considering you're wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
00:11:40I 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?
00:12:02Actually, those were my designs.
00:12:14What did you just say?
00:12:15The spring collection.
00:12:17The Cartier pieces.
00:12:19I designed them.
00:12:21Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
00:12:25Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
00:12:29I thought you were better than this, Mia.
00:12:32I explained my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
00:12:43So what?
00:12:43Sketches get past her and all the time.
00:12:45It doesn't prove squat.
00:12:47Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
00:12:50First designer?
00:12:53And the logo?
00:12:56The EW woven in Victoria's signature mark.
00:13:00It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
00:13:04Mommy, explain it. Make me shut up.
00:13:10It's funny.
00:13:11All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's looking for.
00:13:16They all have EW and GW sewn in, too.
00:13:20Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
00:13:22Her newborn is Grace Winter.
00:13:25It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
00:13:32Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
00:13:35Well, Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.
00:13:42The logo, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
00:13:49You lying little bitch.
00:13:51That promotion is for saving the company.
00:13:59Look at the logo again.
00:14:00It's not EW or GW.
00:14:03It's actually two M's.
00:14:07M-M for McMichael, my last name.
00:14:14See?
00:14:14One M flipped, one upright.
00:14:18It's not for Grace or Emily.
00:14:22It's mine.
00:14:23That is absolutely ridiculous.
00:14:27Oh my god, she's right. It does look more like two M's.
00:14:32Human, if you're a little bitch, you really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
00:14:38You learned well, Mia.
00:14:41Maybe too well.
00:14:42You'll regret this.
00:14:44Come on, Vincent.
00:14:48You don't have to sink to that level.
00:14:50Okay.
00:14:52Let me drive you home, okay?
00:14:53My Ferrari is outside.
00:14:56When I got this, you shouldn't be carrying it.
00:15:03Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
00:15:07Just take care of Miranda and Paul being for you.
00:15:10That's right, get the hell out of my company.
00:15:15Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
00:15:24Hold on, Victoria.
00:15:28VIP invitation, Paris Fashion Week.
00:15:31From Rome, I think you'll find it.
00:15:34Lightning.
00:15:40Every pregnant woman fired.
00:15:46All of us.
00:15:48Just like that.
00:15:49No severance.
00:15:51No warning.
00:15:52Nothing.
00:15:52But a box and a security escort.
00:15:55Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
00:16:04For termination, people would practically pay for your sign and bonus made right in Star.
00:16:10Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
00:16:12Your designs are eagerly awaited.
00:16:17You should have kept your legs closed.
00:16:25Oh my god, mom.
00:16:30This is insane.
00:16:31I can't believe we're actually here.
00:16:33Victoria Winter.
00:16:34It's a nuclear vehicle.
00:16:37Your mom's basically a legend.
00:16:38Do you know that, right?
00:16:41We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
00:16:43Well, their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
00:16:50Wait, Miss Oléveau?
00:16:53Well, well.
00:16:54The queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
00:16:57Brave of you to show up here.
00:16:59What's next?
00:17:00Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
00:17:05Leaving so soon.
00:17:06You haven't introduced me to your princess.
00:17:08Does Mommy Dearest build you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
00:17:18Mom, is that true?
00:17:22Don't worry.
00:17:23She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
00:17:27Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
00:17:30Still pretending she matters.
00:17:32My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
00:17:40If Maison Léveau was putting people like you in charge of the business,
00:17:44then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
00:17:46Well, look at that.
00:17:48It seems entitlement runs in the family.
00:17:51Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
00:17:54That's got a sting, huh?
00:17:56Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
00:18:02Hey, good news.
00:18:03There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
00:18:07If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
00:18:11That's enough.
00:18:16That's enough.
00:18:18You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
00:18:21You 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, it's a cheap knockoff.
00:18:34Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
00:18:38It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
00:18:45What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:18:47Remove that dress.
00:18:50We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
00:18:53Hey, stop it!
00:18:55Let go of my mom!
00:18:57And let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
00:19:01Take your hands off her now.
00:19:06Winston.
00:19:12You're dismissed.
00:19:12You all right?
00:19:26You all right?
00:19:28Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
00:19:31The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere.
00:19:34What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
00:19:36That knockoff that you're so eager to trash her for?
00:19:43It's Chauvin.
00:19:46But the tour.
00:19:47Winter collection.
00:19:49Not even released yet.
00:19:51Price tag?
00:19:53300,000.
00:19:54Wow!
00:19:56You gave her that.
00:19:57That's right.
00:19:59You did.
00:20:02I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted.
00:20:04Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
00:20:08Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy.
00:20:12Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
00:20:14He's her walking trust fund.
00:20:18Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
00:20:21It's just so predictably desperate.
00:20:27You really don't understand real talent, do you?
00:20:30For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier.
00:20:37CEO of Jevent.
00:20:40Yes.
00:20:42I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
00:20:46I have followed your career from a distance for years.
00:20:50Your brilliance, your principles, your passion.
00:20:54Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
00:20:59Mom, did you know about this?
00:21:03I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
00:21:06But in the meantime, what I will do is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
00:21:13She won't let you down, boss.
00:21:19You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
00:21:21She's nothing but a has-been.
00:21:24The show is about to start.
00:21:27Your seats are waiting.
00:21:33Holy shit.
00:21:34The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
00:21:38Talk about a power couple.
00:21:40I can run the entire industry.
00:21:43This isn't over, bitch.
00:21:45Wait till we see what I've prepared.
00:21:47I can run the entire industry.
00:21:57Do you seriously have been in love with my mom since high school?
00:22:04Some talents you recognize immediately.
00:22:09Some people do.
00:22:10Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
00:22:20This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
00:22:23She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
00:22:29It's true.
00:22:30She took my work and passed it off as her own.
00:22:33I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
00:22:37And 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.
00:23:04That's enough.
00:23:06Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
00:23:10That's her real design strategy.
00:23:12Stop it, Holly.
00:23:13You'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?
00:23:22It's a disaster in there.
00:23:29There's something wrong with the collection.
00:23:31It's the fabric.
00:23:32Not now.
00:23:38The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
00:23:42The dresses are literally falling apart.
00:23:45We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
00:23:48Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Moval?
00:23:50Are you canceling the show because you're incompetent?
00:23:53This is completely unprofessional.
00:23:56I have 10 million invested in this collection.
00:23:59This is breach of contract.
00:24:03It's actually fixable.
00:24:05You can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
00:24:13Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
00:24:16Maison Moval appears to be putting underneath new leadership.
00:24:19Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
00:24:23I have a question on everyone's mind.
00:24:25Is this the end for the once-prestigious fashion books?
00:24:32This show doesn't happen.
00:24:34You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
00:24:37We're talking buildings, homie.
00:24:40Buildings.
00:24:53What's this?
00:25:06Now.
00:25:08How?
00:25:08The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
00:25:12I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
00:25:15You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
00:25:19If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
00:25:24That's billions of dollars.
00:25:26Then you better figure something out.
00:25:28Because if you don't, I'm running forward.
00:25:31I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
00:25:34Miss 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, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
00:26:00We're gathering evidence as we speak.
00:26:15Excuse me.
00:26:17Excuse me.
00:26:19It's okay, Pop. Put me around.
00:26:28What do you want, Mia?
00:26:30What do you want, Mia?
00:26:32What do you want, Mia?
00:26:33Vic, I really need your help.
00:26:36Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
00:26:40Look, I know you're furious.
00:26:43I would be too.
00:26:45But think about Miranda and Philippe for a second.
00:26:48What about them?
00:26:49Their jobs are on the line with this show.
00:26:52If we tank, they're done.
00:26:54Holly will fire them without a second thought.
00:26:56Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just pull this out with you.
00:27:03Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
00:27:05Yes, absolutely. And they're counting on this being a hit.
00:27:10Please, Vic, not for me.
00:27:12For them.
00:27:13For 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?
00:27:25They... they couldn't make it.
00:27:27Holly cut the travel budget.
00:27:29Is that right?
00:27:33Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
00:27:40Fine.
00:27:42I'll help you.
00:27:43But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
00:27:46Not for you.
00:27:47Oh my god.
00:28:00It's Victoria Winter.
00:28:01A nuclear beck.
00:28:03I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric now.
00:28:13I need royal fuchsia for the stitching.
00:28:15Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
00:28:18Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
00:28:24Would this work?
00:28:30Vincent, how did you...
00:28:34I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven as an emergency kit.
00:28:39I'm not helping them.
00:28:53I'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.
00:29:01Something special I've never shown anyone.
00:29:04It's yours now.
00:29:07I don't want your design, Victoria.
00:29:10Then what do you want?
00:29:13You.
00:29:16What?
00:29:20Your talent.
00:29:22Your vision.
00:29:24Come and work at Joven.
00:29:26I'm in.
00:29:29I'll work for you.
00:29:30Just like that?
00:29:32Just like that.
00:29:33Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Lebel.
00:29:37I hate it when I'm gone.
00:29:45I wish I was cool.
00:29:47Like the new girl at school.
00:29:49I regret it.
00:29:50So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get it.
00:29:53I want me back.
00:29:57Don't ever change.
00:30:00I'm gonna be proud of my name.
00:30:03She's doing it in minutes.
00:30:06What would have taken us hours?
00:30:09Whoa.
00:30:10No wonder they call her the nuclear pack.
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.
00:30:26We made it.
00:30:27Five minutes till showtime.
00:30:40Well, do we pull the plug or not?
00:30:43We're good.
00:30:44Everything's back on track.
00:30:46See?
00:30:47I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
00:30:50You've got twice your talent.
00:30:53Yeah, right.
00:30:55This is exactly why I promoted you.
00:30:58This mess is not Nathan.
00:31:07To Victoria.
00:31:09The real hero of the night.
00:31:22Mom, you're insane.
00:31:23I can't believe you actually picked that disaster in under an hour.
00:31:28Couldn't have done it without you.
00:31:31You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
00:31:41Well, well, still hanging around.
00:31:44I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
00:31:47Fraud.
00:31:48I thought you'd be too bad.
00:31:49Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
00:31:53What are you talking about?
00:31:55Just ask the models.
00:31:57Any of them.
00:31:59Oh, and Mia.
00:32:01Don't forget about our agreement.
00:32:03About Miranda and Pauline.
00:32:04I think I will.
00:32:06Don't forget about our agreement.
00:32:11Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
00:32:20Speaking of new beginnings,
00:32:23Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
00:32:25Victoria, I want to help with your education.
00:32:31What?
00:32:32Vincent, that's too much.
00:32:34We barely know each other.
00:32:36Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
00:32:40I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress, the one you made from scratch.
00:32:51I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
00:32:57You remember that?
00:33:00I remember everything.
00:33:03I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
00:33:11Why didn't you ever reach out?
00:33:14We were married.
00:33:17And then you worked.
00:33:19And then you were building your career.
00:33:21Timing was never right.
00:33:25Until now.
00:33:29I have been waiting 20 years to do that.
00:33:53I should probably get this.
00:33:59I have been waiting 20 years to do that.
00:34:04Mia?
00:34:08God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
00:34:11That Milan disaster you turned around, absolute magic.
00:34:15And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
00:34:19Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
00:34:23Sean Gosling?
00:34:27The Sean Gosling?
00:34:28The very one.
00:34:30Three-time Oscar winner, people's sexiest man alive.
00:34:33And if we play our cards right, the next place remains on the both ends there.
00:34:38They're taking pitches now.
00:34:39If he picks yours, this changes everything.
00:34:43For you, for the brand.
00:34:46Where it is, Joven's in the running too.
00:34:49Land this, Vincent and poor Victoria are done.
00:34:56Seal the deal, I'll bump your pay by 20%.
00:34:59I've got this, Holly.
00:35:02You won't regret it.
00:35:10God, what am I going to do?
00:35:12I can't design menswear.
00:35:14I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
00:35:17Miranda and Felina are gone too.
00:35:20I'm completely on my own.
00:35:22If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
00:35:30maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over it.
00:35:49Thanks for meeting me.
00:35:56I know things are complicated between us.
00:35:59You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
00:36:01Cut to the chase.
00:36:06We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks.
00:36:08Miranda and Pauline are also in the team.
00:36:09Miranda's excellent menswear.
00:36:11She can handle this without me.
00:36:12Please, wait.
00:36:13There's more to it.
00:36:14After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
00:36:18Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
00:36:22I've been fighting for them.
00:36:23Are you serious?
00:36:25Pauline's due any day now.
00:36:27Trust me, I know.
00:36:28This project is our only shot.
00:36:30If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
00:36:33Have you worked with Sean before?
00:36:36No, but I've heard you have.
00:36:38Ages ago, I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
00:36:43Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison Hall.
00:36:47Really?
00:36:48What concept?
00:36:53Well...
00:37:08Perfect.
00:37:08She's handing everything over without even realizing.
00:37:12I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
00:37:16Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
00:37:20I do.
00:37:21Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
00:37:27Wait.
00:37:28Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
00:37:31How exactly is she part of this project?
00:37:33Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have,
00:37:37Holly's letting her work from home.
00:37:39Is the company covering her health insurance?
00:37:43Of course, Vic.
00:37:45Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
00:37:51You need to learn about it.
00:37:53Take all the time you need.
00:37:55Mia, don't make me regret trusting me.
00:37:59Again.
00:38:00Pumpkin, 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?
00:38:30It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
00:38:35Got it.
00:38:36Grace is napping.
00:38:37The perfect timing.
00:38:38Thanks, sweetie.
00:38:39I just need to double check something about that.
00:38:45Shoulder.
00:38:46Instruction.
00:38:49Mom, are you okay?
00:38:54Miranda?
00:38:56Vic?
00:39:01Mom, Mom, what's going on?
00:39:05Emily, I'll call you right back.
00:39:08Miranda, what happened?
00:39:10Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
00:39:13The girls don't pay themselves.
00:39:15You can't like my husband, old child, 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?
00:39:27Is that a story she's spinning?
00:39:31After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
00:39:35No severance, no copper, and nothing.
00:39:38Just done.
00:39:40That's completely illegal.
00:39:43Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
00:39:48All at once.
00:39:49What are the odds, right?
00:39:51And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours diner.
00:39:56Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
00:40:05And Mia knew about all this.
00:40:07Mia, front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
00:40:12Didn't blink.
00:40:14Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
00:40:19She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
00:40:22Telling me her draw depended on me helping her.
00:40:26What?
00:40:27That bitch.
00:40:31This ends now.
00:40:38Damn it.
00:40:42Miss Michael, let's just arrive from Milan.
00:40:47We need approval by you.
00:40:49Didn't you see I'm working on something important?
00:41:01What are you all looking at?
00:41:02Get back to work.
00:41:04Victoria would never turn this place.
00:41:06I heard that.
00:41:09You think Victoria is so perfect?
00:41:13And where is she now?
00:41:14Gone.
00:41:15Now I'm in charge.
00:41:16And if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
00:41:19Well, at least you've got to be designed.
00:41:27What the hell is going on here?
00:41:29Just a creative disagreement.
00:41:32Everything's under control.
00:41:33It's a gossip bitch.
00:41:34Tell me you have something presentable.
00:41:40Of course.
00:41:40I'm just finalizing some details.
00:41:42Show me.
00:41:44It's all quite ready.
00:41:45Now.
00:41:52This is garbage.
00:41:54Absolute garbage.
00:41:55I just need a little more time.
00:41:57You don't have your time.
00:41:59This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
00:42:01If Shufin gets this deal instead of us.
00:42:07What's that?
00:42:13It's just some inspiration.
00:42:15I recorded for the design.
00:42:19I 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.
00:42:27I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
00:42:53Right on cue.
00:43:03Meet that sketch ASAP.
00:43:06Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
00:43:09The absolute nerve of this woman.
00:43:11She'll get her sketch.
00:43:16And that's when we spring the trap.
00:43:31You're early.
00:43:31Vic, I really need that sketch.
00:43:43I said I'd help, not hand over my design.
00:43:46Polly's all over me about this.
00:43:48If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
00:43:53I'm still lying, Mia.
00:43:55You never learn.
00:43:57I guess it's payback time.
00:43:59So, do you want my help or not?
00:44:02I can walk you through it.
00:44:04Your design could be just as good.
00:44:05She's such a snake.
00:44:07Vic, my stomach is killing me.
00:44:11Can you run to the final scene and get something, please?
00:44:14It's fine, but don't touch anything.
00:44:27I'm sorry then, survival of the fiddles.
00:44:51You just let her take your work?
00:45:02She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
00:45:08You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
00:45:11Go after the same clients.
00:45:13Show them what real design looks like.
00:45:17We're not out yet.
00:45:21I heard there's a revolution room.
00:45:37Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
00:45:43You're welcome, mom.
00:45:43I want you and your team as your van.
00:45:52Full creative control.
00:45:55Oh, Miranda, your husband's debt, handled.
00:46:00And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
00:46:04Mr. Seville, I...
00:46:07I'm Pauline.
00:46:08Your sister is in good hands.
00:46:10The best heart surgeon in the country is already prepping for her next surgery.
00:46:16Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
00:46:19Don't thank me.
00:46:21Thank Victoria.
00:46:22I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
00:46:26Vincent, I...
00:46:29I don't even know what to say.
00:46:31It's about time you all get what you deserve.
00:46:40It's about time.
00:46:41I don't...
00:46:44It's about time.
00:46:47My father'ships which...
00:46:49When you're in the country , when it's the lastuf, you're кошните On the country,
00:46:51understanding that you have done all of the people,
00:46:52itacıтуars, and other people.
00:46:54It's about time to go out.
00:46:54What's going to happen?
00:46:55I'm sorry.
00:46:56There's no way to think of yourys.
00:46:58What do you think to the streets are now or fo...
00:47:00will hope they have done all of these.
00:47:01I don't think of any of them.
00:47:03To keep their eyes, I'm sorry I'm sorry.
00:47:05If I do not know what to do,
00:47:05that's going to happen.
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.
00:48:17Maison Laveau sets the bar.
00:48:21We don't follow trends.
00:48:22We create them.
00:48:23Fatten black lapels.
00:48:31Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Metcala moment.
00:48:34A blend of tradition and boldness.
00:48:37I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
00:48:41What is that bitch doing here?
00:48:53Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
00:48:58My company is 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 in waters.
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 woman talk, you know.
00:49:32Three X and 3's and I'm the CEO.
00:49:36What's next?
00:49:37The sale?
00:49:39Laugh all you want, Holly.
00:49:41We're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
00:49:44And what real loyalty looks like.
00:49:59Sean, glad you could make it.
00:50:01We have something very special to show you.
00:50:07Vic.
00:50:11I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd 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.
00:50:31First up, me and McMichael.
00:50:38Maison Laveau.
00:50:38Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
00:51:00Beautiful work.
00:51:11Both themes.
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.
00:51:35This 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 his 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.
00:52:10I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
00:52:12Perhaps Mia 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 last design.
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.
00:52:51Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
00:52:57Mia'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, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
00:53:16That's a new low.
00:53:22Even for you.
00:53:27Maison Laveau
00:53:28will be hearing from my liars.
00:53:31So you know,
00:53:32I will be supporting
00:53:34Victoria's case for design.
00:53:36That's it.
00:53:38Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
00:53:41We're suspending
00:53:42all collaborations.
00:53:54Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
00:53:57You're blacklisted.
00:54:03Victoria, you...
00:54:05Victoria, please.
00:54:16I'll do anything, please.
00:54:17Just help me save the company,
00:54:19the brand you built for 15 years.
00:54:22You made your choices, Holly.
00:54:24Now you live with that.
00:54:26Oh.
00:54:28Wow, you went too far.
00:54:29Sean Gosling's look tonight
00:54:37is a game changer
00:54:38crafted by the trailblazing team at Joben.
00:54:41Social 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.
00:55:05Mom,
00:55:06you might want to see this.
00:55:17Happy birthday, Victoria.
00:55:22Happy birthday to you!
00:55:28Guys, look!
00:55:33Maison Laveau 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,
00:55:52all 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 feel vindicated.
00:56:02Honestly, it's a weird mix.
00:56:05Relief?
00:56:05Sure, 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?
00:56:12Look at this!
00:56:14Jevain pushes for
00:56:17pay, leave,
00:56:18and parental support
00:56:19across
00:56:19all industries.
00:56:21Victoria,
00:56:22this is you!
00:56:23You did this!
00:56:26Here'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 must forgot the best part.
00:56:39Victoria Winter.
00:56:56Will you marry me?
00:57:01Yes!
00:57:03A thousand times yes!
00:57:05Woohoo!
00:57:05Yeah!
00:57:09Take my heart with gold for your hand.
00:57:15I've been spending all my days
00:57:17just trying to find my head.
00:57:23Give me love and listen to me.
00:57:26Best ever!
00:57:26Best ever!
00:57:39You came.
00:57:45I thought you'd 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.
00:57:53Clients bailed.
00:57:56The board freaked.
00:57:57Numbers tanked.
00:57:59I couldn't stop it.
00:58:01You stood me as on the boat
00:58:03into this storm, Holly.
00:58:04I know.
00:58:10I know.
00:58:12My father...
00:58:14The stress gave him a heart attack.
00:58:16He won't even speak to me anymore.
00:58:19I destroyed everything.
00:58:22My thoughts,
00:58:23slashing costs,
00:58:24would save us,
00:58:25but instead I gutted the company.
00:58:29I didn't mean to pretend like this.
00:58:32Maison Lavao isn't dead.
00:58:34I bought it.
00:58:36Last week.
00:58:38The brand.
00:58:39The archives.
00:58:40Even the debt.
00:58:42It's part of Jeven now.
00:58:44You're blind.
00:58:45Why would you do that?
00:58:47To make sure that no more women
00:58:49have to suffer
00:58:50because of policies like yours.
00:58:55You win, Victoria.
00:58:56I hope you do better than I do.
00:59:01I'll do it differently.
00:59:02Goodbye, Holly.
00:59:21Miss Wintour,
00:59:23I just...
00:59:25I want to thank you.
00:59:26Because of your campaign,
00:59:29my company gave me maturity leave.
00:59:32I can keep working
00:59:34and have my baby.
00:59:37You changed everything.
00:59:40Congratulations.
00:59:42Wishing you and your little one
00:59:43every happiness.
