00:00:06Fashionistas and trendsetters polish up your stilettos and bring out your finest couture
00:00:10because Fashion Week is officially four weeks away and we have some tea to spill.
00:00:16Rumor has it, former queen of designer footwear Delaney Diaz is vying to regain her throne.
00:00:22But after Delaney's public stumble from high fashion, she's gonna need to put her best foot forward.
00:00:27It's make or break time. Will Delaney rule the runways again or be destined for the walk of shame? Stay
00:00:33tuned.
00:00:48Wow, Addy, looks like a whole new shoe.
00:00:51Well, Mr. Simmons likes to stand out. Just because he works in construction doesn't mean he can't be stylish.
00:00:57You have so many great designs. I bet if we tried we could make some of these right here in
00:01:01the shop.
00:01:01Oh, we're barely keeping up with repairs. Besides, I doubt Mr. Simmons is in the market for kitten heels.
00:01:08She's down.
00:01:09You sing my little angel to sleep?
00:01:11Oh, your little angel thinks that I need a vocal coach.
00:01:14In five months, her father will be on leave and he can take over the lullaby duties.
00:01:18Well, I have been trying to teach her thumbs down.
00:01:20Oh, thank you so much for that. Yeah, she's really got the spirit of it for sure.
00:01:24By the way, you're gonna be singing my praises pretty soon.
00:01:28I got you a job.
00:01:30Another one?
00:01:31I still have to stuff goodie bags for Ruby's birthday party.
00:01:34No, no, no, no.
00:01:35I met this lady, Janice, at Mommy and Me class.
00:01:37And she works in HR at Delaney Diaz.
00:01:41She said that there's an opening at the front desk.
00:01:43Wait, the Delaney Diaz?
00:01:45I don't get the excitement about her.
00:01:47Dad, she is a pioneer in women's designer footwear.
00:01:51Look at this act.
00:01:55Crystal shoes are practical.
00:01:56That's not the point.
00:01:58It shows that artistry and new ideas can emerge in unexpected places.
00:02:03A Diaz is one of a kind.
00:02:05Apparently, Mrs. Hollingsworth said the same thing when she dropped off her Diaz's.
00:02:10Where?
00:02:11And let me guess, she asked for Addie specifically.
00:02:14She's her number one customer for a reason.
00:02:16I can't believe how much money she makes buying these old designer shoes and having you to restore them.
00:02:22Look at this iconic shoe.
00:02:25Suede insoles creates a luxurious foot pad.
00:02:29She was at the top of her game when these came out.
00:02:31Was is the key word, though.
00:02:33She's traded style for sellability with her new stuff.
00:02:36Too much success can ruin a brand.
00:02:39I still think she's brilliant.
00:02:40I think your designs are better.
00:02:42Listen, it's just a receptionist job for now, but it's also a foot in the door.
00:02:47You know, maybe you could show her your designs.
00:02:49It would be cool to meet her.
00:02:51Now think about it.
00:02:52Mmm, can't.
00:02:53I already told her that you would be perfect for the job, so she wants to interview you tomorrow.
00:02:59Claudia, no.
00:03:00I mean, what about the shop?
00:03:02Dad and I have got the shop.
00:03:04It's Manhattan.
00:03:06It's really far away.
00:03:08Dad, what do you think?
00:03:09I want my daughters to follow their dreams.
00:03:12What are you doing?
00:03:13Get out of here.
00:03:14Get out of here.
00:03:43And another one bites the dust.
00:03:47Picking up or dropping off?
00:03:48I'm here for Janice.
00:03:50I'm interviewing for the receptionist job.
00:03:52Oh, thank the good lord.
00:03:53You're hired.
00:03:54Sit, Thomas.
00:03:55You must be Addie Connors, Claudia's sister?
00:03:57Yes.
00:03:58Well, you came at the perfect time.
00:03:59We have a more pressing position that just opened.
00:04:01Oh, no, she can't.
00:04:03Look at her outfit.
00:04:05She's not ready.
00:04:06Ignore him.
00:04:07Thomas is filling in.
00:04:08He's our floater.
00:04:09Actually, I'm her assistant.
00:04:10Floater's below my pay grade.
00:04:11Thank you for your service.
00:04:12Come on, Addie.
00:04:13Let's go chat.
00:04:17Delaney Diaz, please hold.
00:04:19I'm not going to sugarcoat it, Addie.
00:04:20This place is not for the weak.
00:04:21I hope you know how to juggle.
00:04:22Oh, I'm a good multitasker.
00:04:24I answer the phones at my father's shop while working the register.
00:04:26How are you with people?
00:04:28Delaney is, let's say, particular.
00:04:30Oh, people always say I'm cheerful.
00:04:32Could be worse, I guess.
00:04:34This is our main design area.
00:04:37Wow.
00:04:38This is a dream.
00:04:39I cannot believe I am standing where Delaney Diaz's shoes are made.
00:04:44It used to be made.
00:04:45We don't do couture anymore.
00:04:46I mean, our designers have everything within reach to test fabrics, stitching, color combos.
00:04:51But we send out their designs for samples to be made.
00:04:55This was Delaney's assistant's desk.
00:04:59She didn't even take her personals.
00:05:00The tantrum I saw earlier?
00:05:02Kendra.
00:05:02I knew she wouldn't last long.
00:05:04She cried on day two.
00:05:05How long did she work here?
00:05:06Three weeks.
00:05:07Better than most.
00:05:08It's the fifth assistant we've lost this year.
00:05:10Janice, payroll needs to speak with you ASAP.
00:05:13Kendra's seeking psychological damages.
00:05:15Not another one.
00:05:17Okay, Delaney has a meeting in 15 minutes.
00:05:19Thomas, we need to clear this before she sees it.
00:05:21Can you-
00:05:21Sure.
00:05:22Oh, what's that?
00:05:24I think my phone's ringing and a delivery's here and the lobby's on fire.
00:05:32I'll get it.
00:05:33You are a savior.
00:05:34The kitchen is through there.
00:05:36Come to reception when you're done.
00:05:37But be quick.
00:05:39Delaney will lose her mind if she sees you in those flats.
00:05:58Oh, no.
00:06:00I am so sorry.
00:06:02It's okay.
00:06:03I didn't see you come out.
00:06:05You know what?
00:06:05I can fix this.
00:06:07Come with me.
00:06:12Okay, take your shoes off.
00:06:14Why do I feel like I'm getting mugged?
00:06:16Well, call the fashion police because I'm saving both our jobs.
00:06:20Delaney cannot see copy-stained shoes on the floor.
00:06:22Are you a new designer?
00:06:24Me?
00:06:24Oh, no.
00:06:25I applied for the receptionist job.
00:06:45I made them two-toned so that they'd have a little bit more flair.
00:06:50I like them.
00:06:51I actually love them.
00:06:58Oh.
00:07:00Oh.
00:07:02Sorry.
00:07:03I was just trying to put them over there.
00:07:05Yeah.
00:07:08Um, Addy Connors.
00:07:10Austin Strickland.
00:07:13I'm impressed.
00:07:14You're kind of like a rebel, busting into the design studio like that.
00:07:18I like to think of myself as a creative problem solver.
00:07:21What were you doing over there?
00:07:24Oh, Adelaney's assistant quit.
00:07:25I was helping clean up her stuff.
00:07:27How long have you worked here for?
00:07:29Oh, I've known these offices since I could walk.
00:07:31Well, now you can walk around the offices in custom shoes.
00:07:35Maybe you'll get a raise.
00:07:36Maybe you will.
00:07:38Come with me.
00:07:40Um, I actually have to meet with Janice to finish my interview.
00:07:43Oh, trust me.
00:07:44I have someone you need to meet.
00:07:49It's my best.
00:07:56Is this your office?
00:07:58No.
00:08:00Oh.
00:08:00It's Delaney's.
00:08:02Uh, are you sure we can be in here?
00:08:05Oh, relax. Embrace your rebellious side.
00:08:07It's more fun that way.
00:08:08But she has a meeting right now. What if they catch us?
00:08:10I know. Now it's with me and you.
00:08:15Delaney!
00:08:18You look ravishing today.
00:08:22I don't succumb to flattery, you know that.
00:08:24Yeah.
00:08:25Who is this? Why is she in my office?
00:08:27I would like for you to meet your new assistant, Addie Connors.
00:08:31What happened at Kipper?
00:08:32Uh, Kipper? Kendra!
00:08:34Yeah, no, she left.
00:08:36Weakling.
00:08:36Okay. We have about a month until Fashion Week.
00:08:39You need someone reliable.
00:08:42This is reliable?
00:08:43Mm-hmm.
00:08:44Have you seen her shoes?
00:08:46Have you seen mine?
00:08:49Where did you get those?
00:08:51Five minutes ago, here, thanks to Addie Connors.
00:08:56You smile a lot.
00:08:57Yeah.
00:08:58Well, how could I not?
00:08:59I am standing in front of Delaney freaking Diaz.
00:09:02I mean, come on.
00:09:06Okay, you can go now.
00:09:08Before you call security on me, I just have to say,
00:09:10I think you're a genius, a legend in footwear.
00:09:13Wearing your shoes is like putting your best foot forward.
00:09:19Uh, anyway, that's all.
00:09:21Um, it's been an honor and love your office.
00:09:27It's good.
00:09:30Yeah, listen, hear me out.
00:09:32She's filled with potential.
00:09:39It's not the end of the world.
00:09:41You still have a job here.
00:09:42Uh, I just shouldn't have gone.
00:09:46Delaney Diaz is a star.
00:09:47Light years away from someone like me.
00:09:50I mean, look at my shoes.
00:09:51I don't belong in Manhattan.
00:09:53I just shouldn't have turned into a crazed fangirl
00:09:57and completely embarrassed myself.
00:09:59At least you didn't ask for an autograph.
00:10:01Did you?
00:10:10What?
00:10:12Did they send you a restraining order?
00:10:15I got the job.
00:10:18On a trial basis, but they want me to be Delaney Diaz's assistant.
00:10:40Good morning, new girl.
00:10:42See you dressed for your funeral.
00:10:43Good thinking ahead.
00:10:44Planning ahead would be getting the mouthy floater
00:10:47the best of Claire in Connecticut.
00:10:49I like you.
00:10:51Delaney left this for you.
00:10:52Oh.
00:10:55Um, when does she want all this done?
00:10:58I don't ask questions.
00:10:59Why not?
00:11:00What happens?
00:11:01Do your funeral.
00:11:03I do.
00:11:12Okay.
00:11:13Just breathe.
00:11:14You can do this.
00:11:23Go, go.
00:11:25I had a list?
00:11:26I gave it to Addie this morning.
00:11:39Oh, Delaney.
00:11:41Good morning.
00:11:41How are you today?
00:11:43I don't do small talk, especially not before I've had my iced chai latte.
00:11:47Oh.
00:11:49Well.
00:11:50Oh, you want me to speak?
00:11:52Iced chai latte was on the list.
00:11:54Oh.
00:11:55Right.
00:11:56I put it right on your desk and I watered your orchids.
00:12:06It seems you watered the latte as well.
00:12:09Sorry.
00:12:10I can get you another one.
00:12:11And what pre-till have you accomplished today?
00:12:14Where is my dry cleaning?
00:12:16I thought that was a lower priority.
00:12:17I thought that was a lower priority.
00:12:18I was going to pick that up tomorrow.
00:12:19It was on the list for today.
00:12:22I thought this list was for the week.
00:12:25Well, you thought wrong.
00:12:27Uh, right.
00:12:28Uh, I'm on it.
00:12:31Uh, and for the food for the meeting, uh, did you-
00:12:33expect an iced chai latte 10 minutes ago?
00:12:36Yes, I did.
00:12:37Of course.
00:12:51Ooh, Delaney does not like food on the workspace.
00:12:54Great.
00:12:55Another thing I messed up.
00:12:57I have until Fashion Week to not get fired.
00:12:59I don't think I'm going to make it through this trial period.
00:13:01She already eats me.
00:13:02Just give her a chance.
00:13:04You know, that tough exterior, there's a really good heart.
00:13:06You just gotta keep digging.
00:13:07Oh, yeah?
00:13:08With an excavator?
00:13:09Sometimes.
00:13:10Delaney came up at a business dominated by men.
00:13:13She had to be fierce to succeed.
00:13:15You know, you're really good at public relations.
00:13:17And you really do ooze of positivity and charm.
00:13:21So what's your story?
00:13:22How did you see through her tough exterior?
00:13:25Delaney was my mom's best friend.
00:13:27And when my mom passed away, she stuck around.
00:13:31I'm sorry.
00:13:33I lost my mom too, a few years ago.
00:13:36You really do remember who supports you in that time.
00:13:39So is that why you represent her now?
00:13:42No.
00:13:42My father owns the PR company.
00:13:45And Delaney has been a long time client.
00:13:47Not without challenges.
00:13:49Especially since she got sued for stealing ideas by her assistant.
00:13:54The guy was disgruntled.
00:13:55It was all false.
00:13:56But the headlines and the rumors remain.
00:13:58Which I think is what hardened her a bit.
00:14:00Well, yeah.
00:14:01I can understand why.
00:14:02Yeah, well, I'm trying to get her back to the top.
00:14:04But Fashion Week is make it or break it for all of us.
00:14:07Oh, is she in trouble?
00:14:09Franco Schuster is attempting a hostile buyout.
00:14:11He wants to use her label as his discount brand.
00:14:14If I don't get any buyers on this runway show I'm part of,
00:14:17she's gonna be forced to sell.
00:14:19That would ruin her legacy.
00:14:23You think more like Delaney than you know.
00:14:27I knew sticking my neck out for you would pay off.
00:14:35What?
00:14:36These are supposed to attract buyers?
00:14:38The meeting's in a few minutes.
00:14:40Don't blame me.
00:14:41I'm just a pretty face.
00:14:45You're not quitting on me just yet, are you?
00:14:47No, never.
00:14:48Just give me a few seconds.
00:14:58Perfect.
00:14:59Hurry, Delaney's within striking distance.
00:15:01Here, grab the numbers.
00:15:02Okay.
00:15:04Here we go.
00:15:07Here, here, here.
00:15:08Yeah, that looks great.
00:15:09Okay, perfect.
00:15:12That's great.
00:15:15Everything is ready for the buyer's meeting.
00:15:19Not bad, right?
00:15:22Adequate.
00:15:23Finally.
00:15:27Please.
00:15:28After you have a seat.
00:15:33Thanks, everyone.
00:15:34Shall we get started?
00:15:39Now, as you can see, we've done the pump in a very classic style.
00:15:43This holds a wide appeal, I think, to your clientele.
00:15:46We can do that in a variety of colors.
00:15:48The boot we've done in this beautiful calf skin.
00:15:51Again, a very familiar design to help move volume.
00:15:54The boots?
00:15:55I'll take as many units as the manufacturer can produce before next season.
00:15:59Excellent.
00:16:00I will have the team get on that right away.
00:16:03If I may, Renee, just the boots?
00:16:06At this price, how can I refuse?
00:16:14My apologies.
00:16:15There appears to be a little misprint.
00:16:18I am so sorry.
00:16:20I didn't realize that the numbers corresponded with the prices.
00:16:23Well, Renee, we won't waste any more of your precious time.
00:16:26I will personally see to it that you get the correct price list,
00:16:30and we can reconvene at a later date.
00:16:32We're meeting with Franco Chaussure later this week.
00:16:35Are you sure you want to reschedule?
00:16:38I'm sure that you and I can work something out.
00:16:41Why don't we talk a little more in my office?
00:16:43Austin, would you?
00:16:46Right this way.
00:16:51I am so sorry.
00:16:52I was rushing to get things ready, and I wanted to...
00:16:55Excuses, Addie.
00:16:56They're tools of apathy.
00:16:58All they do is ensure that your life remains the same today as it was yesterday.
00:17:03Now, is that what you want for yourself?
00:17:05No.
00:17:25Hey! What are you doing? I said I would help.
00:17:28Four days ago.
00:17:30I'm sorry.
00:17:31I am so stressed with this new job.
00:17:34Where's Ruby?
00:17:35With Aunt Carla.
00:17:37She got a deal on these Jordan almonds and insisted that I use them in the goodie bags.
00:17:42Oh, well, at least let me help.
00:17:44Oh, how was your first day?
00:17:47Ever heard the saying, never meet your idols?
00:17:50Oh, she that bad?
00:17:51No, it's me.
00:17:53I'm just not cut out for this job.
00:17:55This world.
00:17:56Hey, you are an incredible designer.
00:17:58This world needs to be cut out for you.
00:18:00I just don't know if I can keep up.
00:18:03And why would you stick his neck out for me?
00:18:06He who?
00:18:07Um, Austin. He's the PR guy.
00:18:09I ruined his shoes and then I fixed them and he stood up for me with Delaney and got me
00:18:13the job.
00:18:14Wow.
00:18:15A real Prince Charming.
00:18:17Is he cute?
00:18:23So what's your move tomorrow, huh?
00:18:25You're gonna stain his shirt and then he gets you a raise?
00:18:28Or better yet, he could take it off for you.
00:18:31Claudia!
00:18:33Yeah, because Scott took his shirt off.
00:18:37No, he works for Delaney. It's too risky.
00:18:41But this is my one chance to live out my dream and with my idol no less.
00:18:47I doubt Delaney even wants me back.
00:18:49I'm sure I will get an email from HR any moment.
00:18:55Ah.
00:19:02She wants me to pick up her dry cleaning.
00:19:05See, mean, pretty women are never stupid.
00:19:08She knows she's got a gem.
00:19:11Oh, stop.
00:19:14Oh, I'm so lucky to have you here for me and Ruby while Scott's away.
00:19:17I'll always be here for you.
00:19:19Both of you.
00:19:21Wait, where are you going?
00:19:22I'm going to raid your closet because I need help with a new wardrobe.
00:19:25Not the new one!
00:19:45Oh, that's mine.
00:19:48Oh.
00:19:49I just, maybe you need an extra hand.
00:19:51And then some, thank you.
00:19:53Come have a seat with me.
00:19:54I can't let Delaney's ice melt.
00:19:55Right, yeah.
00:19:56Well, I'm going to show you a trick so it never melts again.
00:19:59Come on.
00:20:03Okay, so what is this trick?
00:20:05Well, all you got to do is grab a batch of fresh ice on your way out.
00:20:09Voila.
00:20:13Oh.
00:20:14That is very clever.
00:20:17I owe you one.
00:20:18I was hoping you'd say that.
00:20:20I'm trying to get Delaney to one of my events.
00:20:22You think you could help me out with that?
00:20:24Me?
00:20:25I can't get her to do anything.
00:20:27You got this.
00:20:30Um, I can try.
00:20:32Oh!
00:20:34No, no, no.
00:20:35Allow me.
00:20:35Oh.
00:20:36Oh, what is this?
00:20:39That's nothing.
00:20:40It's just a notebook.
00:20:41This was a good campaign.
00:20:43Yeah.
00:20:43I would know.
00:20:44I came up with it.
00:20:45Yeah, when I was in college, my dad invited me to go into one of the marketing meetings.
00:20:49I had the audacity to speak up.
00:20:51They loved it.
00:20:52And that was it.
00:20:54I can't believe that.
00:20:55This ad has inspired me so much.
00:20:57And it was you.
00:20:59What are these?
00:21:00Oh, they're nothing.
00:21:02They're just sketches.
00:21:02I like to draw when I'm at my dad's shop.
00:21:05It's just a hobby.
00:21:06I'm not a designer or anything.
00:21:07Well, this notebook says otherwise.
00:21:09I am just trying to survive Delaney's shoe empire.
00:21:12Oh, I get that.
00:21:14For now, you might want to tuck this away.
00:21:16I mean, Delaney has some trust issues.
00:21:18She doesn't discuss anything other than with her design team.
00:21:21You should see their contracts.
00:21:22They're ironclad.
00:21:24Just promise me one thing.
00:21:26Don't pitch her just yet.
00:21:28Because if you do, we might never work in the city ever again.
00:21:33Oh.
00:21:34Yeah.
00:21:35Understood.
00:21:37So what's this event?
00:21:38Technically, it's my dad's event.
00:21:40But I have a few out-of-the-box ideas I want to pitch.
00:21:42Which is why I need Delaney.
00:21:43And if you wanted to come by and maybe be her bumper, huh?
00:21:48Her bumper?
00:21:49Yeah.
00:21:50What is that?
00:21:51You know how much she hates the chit-chat and smiling for cameras?
00:21:55I think I can handle that.
00:21:56Yeah?
00:21:57Yeah.
00:21:57I really see you with a bulletproof vest and some sunglasses.
00:22:01Well, I admire your unwavering faith in me.
00:22:03I know special when I see it.
00:22:07Um, but in all honesty though, earn Delaney Diaz's trust and she'll invite you in.
00:22:13And then she'll have you sign a 50-page contract.
00:22:16Easy.
00:22:16Yeah, she'll just fire me first.
00:22:18We'll make sure that doesn't happen.
00:22:20We'll just get some more ice.
00:22:21Okay.
00:22:29No.
00:22:30Walking on glass would be more comfortable.
00:22:32These all tested very well.
00:22:34With who?
00:22:35Someone with hoops?
00:22:36Yes.
00:22:39Sorry, is this a medical condition?
00:22:41Mm-hmm.
00:22:42Oh, uh, no, no, no.
00:22:44I just...
00:22:45Sentences, my love.
00:22:46Sentences.
00:22:47Well, why not go back to the suede insole?
00:22:52Mrs. Hollingsworth loves the suede insole.
00:22:55She says that it's like walking on air.
00:22:56I'm sorry, who is Mrs. Hollingsworth?
00:22:58Oh, she's a client at my dad's shoe repair shop.
00:23:04What school did you graduate from?
00:23:06Parsons, NYU?
00:23:08Oh, um, none of the above.
00:23:11But I did take courses at community college.
00:23:14I'll let the team go back to the drawing board.
00:23:16Uh, just take out the millennial collection
00:23:18and let's have a look at the suede insole.
00:23:28Maybe you lost your mind.
00:23:31Because of the insoles?
00:23:32You have me attending an art opening hosted by Robert Strickland.
00:23:36They are notoriously boring.
00:23:38Uh, what?
00:23:38Thank God Austin inherited his mother's creativity.
00:23:41Well, he's invited a lot of press.
00:23:43I think it's a great idea.
00:23:46You do.
00:23:47And how many reporters have tried to mortify you for clickbait?
00:23:51Well, Morgan Humphries once took a photo of my skirt tucked into my tights
00:23:55and sent it to the entire 10th grade.
00:23:57I was horrified.
00:23:58I even called my dad to come pick me up.
00:23:59But he told me I had to stay and face it.
00:24:02And then Joey Lieberman ended up calling Coach Thomas' mom
00:24:05and everyone forgot about me for the rest of the day.
00:24:09Okay, good.
00:24:10Uh, next time spare me the details of your painfully tedious memoir.
00:24:15Just cancel.
00:24:17Oh, but Austin would be so disappointed.
00:24:19He has one of his out-of-the-box ideas.
00:24:24His dad's been really hard on him.
00:24:26I know it would mean a lot if you could see it.
00:24:33Austin's father is very hard on him sometimes.
00:24:40All right.
00:24:41I'll make an appearance.
00:24:4215 minutes.
00:24:43No more.
00:24:44But no less.
00:24:45I will let him know.
00:24:46And you will not let any reporters near me.
00:24:49And you will never do that again, please.
00:25:07Addie.
00:25:08What are you doing?
00:25:09Dad was about to call the cops.
00:25:11He thought it was another break-in.
00:25:13I promised I would work on Mrs. Hollingsworth's shoes.
00:25:16I'm so far behind.
00:25:19Well...
00:25:20I can help.
00:25:22No, you're busy enough with Ruby.
00:25:24Exactly.
00:25:25So when I need you to babysit, you're gonna owe me big time.
00:25:29So, I was thinking popcorn and movies at your place for dinner tomorrow.
00:25:34I actually have an art show I have to go to.
00:25:37Oh, an art show.
00:25:39That's great.
00:25:40So, what are you gonna wear?
00:25:42I don't know.
00:25:43Black, I guess.
00:25:46No.
00:25:51You're gonna wear red.
00:25:52I can't.
00:25:53These are Mrs. Hollingsworth's shoes.
00:25:55I bet if you call her and ask, she will let you borrow them.
00:25:58She adores you.
00:26:01Okay, I will call her and ask.
00:26:04Oh, they are pretty.
00:26:07Mm-hmm.
00:26:07Mm-hmm.
00:26:32Should we grab a photo on the carpet?
00:26:34If you have to grab for status, Addie, then you don't have any.
00:26:38Where's Austin?
00:26:39I texted him that we were here.
00:26:40He'll probably come find us.
00:26:43Typical Robert Strickland event.
00:26:45I swear, if in an elevator's more exciting.
00:26:47Man has not changed in 20 years.
00:26:50Well, Austin says he has something out of the box.
00:26:53Well, time is taking.
00:26:54Why don't you go get him before I fall asleep?
00:26:56Of course.
00:27:08Austin!
00:27:08Addie, you made it.
00:27:09Yeah.
00:27:10Have you seen Delaney?
00:27:11Yeah, she's here.
00:27:13Oh, she's over there.
00:27:15Is that a smile?
00:27:16Yeah, that is Betty Badgley from the Broussmore Foundation.
00:27:20That means we have 10 minutes.
00:27:21Come on.
00:27:22I want to show you something.
00:27:23Oh, um.
00:27:24Okay.
00:27:35So, what do you think?
00:27:37This is amazing.
00:27:41The iconic crystal shoe.
00:27:44Yeah, I knew you'd appreciate that.
00:27:46You've created a very cool vibe.
00:27:48The party should be down here.
00:27:50Yeah, it's the only spot my dad let me have.
00:27:52He probably thought I was going to be out of the way.
00:27:55But this is why I need Delaney.
00:27:56Do you think people will follow her down here?
00:27:58I don't know.
00:27:59Do you think your dad would announce there's a party down here?
00:28:02We don't want people to think Delaney's just running off.
00:28:04Hmm.
00:28:08Have you ever heard of a whisper campaign?
00:28:24We've had
00:28:26we're still running off.
00:28:30We made a deep test.
00:28:31We're back downstairs.
00:28:32It was already a good person.
00:28:39I want you guys to go.
00:28:45Right?
00:28:49I need some place.
00:28:51I want you to pick.

00:29:35so beautiful your iconic shoe well not quite but yes there is some beauty
00:29:48oh it looks like your father finally found the party time to face the music
00:29:58how come they don't see eye to eye after Austin's mother died Robert threw himself into his work
00:30:04he just wanted safety and stability and Austin you know is very adventurous and naturally rebellious
00:30:11like his mother so I think that's a bit hard for Robert they clash he's so talented it's a shame

00:34:10the morning to get the buzz in the busiest laneway of the district want to try uh is it legal
00:34:19legal

00:34:26lawyer yes I bet you can't make it to the third line from here over there all right here we
00:34:35go
00:34:38littering citizens arrest you will not catch me
00:34:44I still can't believe you pulled over Armand Alonso the king of handbags himself
00:34:53I know I fully expect a melted chai latte dumped over my head in the morning before security escorts
00:35:00me out not before she asks you to remove her vintage shoes did you know she designed those
00:35:06where'd you get them they're out on loan I just wanted to fit in with the people at the party
00:35:11I mean they're fantastic like urban chic urban chic I like that we should use that in the show
00:35:19give Delaney Diaz her edge
00:35:23hey how come she doesn't design anymore
00:35:27uh well I think she lost confidence the industry doesn't really take her as seriously as they used
00:35:36to she had a few flops lost a lot of sales she had to transition towards you know more basic
00:35:43models
00:35:43for department stores to keep her brand afloat was that her idea it was my dad's actually and it worked
00:35:54I know she wants to go towards high fashion but she's afraid well she's about to get bought out
00:36:02now's the time to take a risk I couldn't agree more but we are outnumbered no one wants to take
00:36:07risks right now
00:36:09well your ideas are great social media is going to be buzzing tomorrow morning about the runway all thanks to
00:36:16you

00:36:35I wish I could practice what I preach but I'm still figuring out how or if I have a voice
00:36:41in this industry
00:36:45I feel kind of lost

00:40:09Oh yeah, it's her latest shoe.
00:40:11Ah, is she making a comeback?
00:40:12That's the idea.
00:40:13She has a show at Fashion Week.
00:40:15Oh, I thought her days of high fashion were over.
00:40:17She's reviving some of her signature style,
00:40:19suede, insoles and everything.
00:40:21Do you work for her?
00:40:22Yeah, I'm her personal assistant.
00:40:24I'm Addie.
00:40:24Are you a fan?
00:40:25I am.
00:40:26Is that a part of her new line?
00:40:28Ah, it's the day-to-night pump.
00:40:31So women can go from the office to a cocktail party
00:40:33without changing shoes?
00:40:35I love it.
00:40:35Am I able to see a little bit more of that?
00:40:37Fashion Week will have everything in our show.
00:40:39I look forward to it.
00:40:41Well, I will let you get back to work.
00:40:43Thanks again.
00:40:44Yeah.
00:40:49What did, uh, Andrea Walker want?
00:40:51Who?
00:40:52The person you were just talking to, Andrea Walker.
00:40:55Oh, I didn't get her name.
00:40:56She's a big fan of Delaney's.
00:40:58A fan?
00:40:59A fan of a hostile takeover.
00:41:01Maybe...
00:41:02She works for Frank O'Shaugh, sir.
00:41:03What?
00:41:04I can't believe they sent a spy.
00:41:05I mean, they do that.
00:41:06They're sneaky.
00:41:07You didn't say anything, did you?
00:41:09Uh, no, no.
00:41:11I just told her about the show, that's all.
00:41:26Dad, you need to give them more air.
00:41:29Well, where's Addie?
00:41:30She's supposed to be helping with Ruby's birthday.
00:41:32You know where.
00:41:33I don't like this.
00:41:35You don't like change.
00:41:36She said she can't even pitch her designs to Delaney's,
00:41:38so what's the point?
00:41:39Well, it's a foot in the door.
00:41:42Plus, I think she has a work crush.
00:41:47Hi.
00:41:48Sorry I'm late.
00:41:50Glad you're here.
00:41:51Claudia hates my balloon technique.
00:41:53Oh, how are things with Mrs. Hollingsworth's shoes?
00:41:56She's coming on Monday.
00:41:57Uh, don't tell me you forgot.
00:42:00No.
00:42:00No, not at all.
00:42:01I'm on it.
00:42:02I'm just, um, prioritizing.
00:42:04I'll be your biggest customer.
00:42:06And what about this morning?
00:42:07Where exactly do we fit on your priority list?
00:42:11It's not like you, Addie.
00:42:12Don't worry, Dad.
00:42:13I'll take care of it.
00:42:14Addie has a lot on her plate.
00:42:16I'm still picking up the cake today.
00:42:23Oh, no.
00:42:24Is something wrong with the cake?
00:42:26No, no.
00:42:27Um, I have to go back into work.
00:42:28There's an emergency meeting.
00:42:30It's Sunday.
00:42:31We have Ruby's party and Sunday dinner.
00:42:33Work and wait.
00:42:35We haven't missed Sunday dinner since Mom died.
00:42:38I am so sorry, but Delaney is having a meltdown about the show.
00:42:43But I promise I will be back for both.
00:42:46And, um, I'll have Aunt Carla pick up the cake, okay?
00:42:49Love you guys.
00:43:01I just need you to look past.
00:43:02No, but they even have the same seams.
00:43:04It's not about the pants.
00:43:05Look at the stitching.
00:43:07I came as fast as I could.
00:43:09What's the big emergency?
00:43:13Franco Chaussiere launches heels to take you from the office to a cocktail party.
00:43:18Yeah, that black pump is exactly like ours.
00:43:20And we were gonna use it for the big finale in the show.
00:43:22We can't use it at all now.
00:43:23Now it's just gone, poof.
00:43:25We are going to figure something out.
00:43:26They are clearly trying to sabotage the show to lock in the buyout.
00:43:30They even have a better tagline than we do.
00:43:32Why didn't we come up with that?
00:43:34Fashion Week is two weeks out.
00:43:35This is a massive disaster.
00:43:37Listen.
00:43:38We've come too far to let them win.
00:43:40Alright?
00:43:44Okay, message Alexander.
00:43:45Tell them to get the design team together to work on a new finale shoe.
00:43:49Adi, will you order us some food?
00:43:50It's gonna be a long night.
00:43:52Oh, um, I kind of have a family commitment.
00:43:56I kind of have a crisis.
00:43:58You wanted a job in fashion.
00:43:59This is the job.
00:44:05I can't.
00:44:07Shut that.
00:44:12No, I see.
00:44:13Why am I supposed to use this?
00:44:15No, I see.
00:44:25Who was tapping?
00:44:26Sorry.
00:44:27So, what do you think?
00:44:30Nothing speaks to me.
00:44:31Everything seems very basic.
00:44:33These are our last sketches.
00:44:34I can have the team start again tomorrow,
00:44:36during work hours.
00:44:38Oh, I'm sorry.
00:44:39Is securing the future of our company
00:44:40a little inconvenient for you, Alexander?
00:44:42Not at all.
00:44:42I'm simply stating the obvious.
00:44:43You've rejected every design we have in the office.
00:44:47Okay.
00:44:49I just need to think.
00:44:51Will you gather all the maybes,
00:44:52and I'll look at them later, okay?
00:44:58Okay.
00:44:58So, we both know that the maybes are not going to cut it.
00:45:02Is there anything that we can send the team?
00:45:04I'm sorry.
00:45:04I can't call and give them homework on a Sunday.
00:45:06Tomorrow we can start right away.
00:45:08Okay.
00:45:09We just need to convince her of that.
00:45:13That will take a miracle.
00:45:20Oh, no.
00:45:22No, no, no.
00:45:22She will not listen to me.
00:45:24She did about the Sweden souls.
00:45:25I give her iced chai lattes,
00:45:27not business advice.
00:45:28Just please go talk to her.
00:45:30See where her head's at.
00:45:41I'm thinking.
00:45:43I know.
00:45:44I just wanted to see if you needed anything.
00:45:48A miracle.
00:45:52So many so-called experts and not one worthy shoe.
00:45:55Not one.
00:45:57I think maybe you're looking for an external solution for an internal problem.
00:46:04So, this is my fault now?
00:46:06No, no, no.
00:46:08That's not what I meant.
00:46:10But the brand is called Delaney Diaz for a reason.
00:46:15It was built from you.
00:46:18So, maybe you just need to look within for the answers.
00:46:23Well, I haven't designed in years.
00:46:25Last time I did it was a total flop.
00:46:27They said I was out of touch.
00:46:30Well, that was then.
00:46:33Truth is, I wasn't even crazy about that black pump.
00:46:36Now, those red shoes that you wore were some of my best work.
00:46:42My favorite collection.
00:46:43Mine too.
00:46:45Where did you find that inspiration?
00:46:48Well, when I was young, I used to sit on the train and sketch.
00:46:52And I would sketch all the people around me from all walks of life.
00:46:56From punks to power brokers.
00:46:59I loved it. I loved all the bold contrasts.
00:47:03Well, maybe that's your answer.
00:47:04The trains, the power, the boldness, the urban chic.
00:47:12No, that's not what our buyers want.
00:47:14Maybe it's what the people want.
00:47:16People want what the buyers tell them to want.
00:47:19That's how it works.
00:47:20We have to stick to what we know.
00:47:23We call the boys in.
00:47:24I think I need to give the design team a clearer direction for tomorrow.
00:47:31I'm sorry, is there something more important on your phone than my current crisis?
00:47:35Um, well...
00:47:38Addie, prosperity is born of difficult choices.
00:47:43Now, I think you have some talent.
00:47:45But do you have what it takes to be a success?
00:47:49Yes, I do.
00:47:52Good.
00:47:53Can I get back to work?
00:47:56Right away.
00:47:58Okay.
00:48:19Oh, Dad, you scared me.
00:48:22Likewise.
00:48:23Where were you today?
00:48:24We had a crisis.
00:48:26A crisis.
00:48:27The stock market crashing is a crisis.
00:48:29A tsunami is a crisis.
00:48:31What was so important that you had to miss Ruby's party and Sunday dinner?
00:48:35That's family tradition.
00:48:36A totally new shoe for Fashion Week.
00:48:40I...
00:48:40Delaney needed me.
00:48:42I'm sorry I missed everything, but...
00:48:45You know, I think I turned a corner with her.
00:48:47She said I have talent.
00:48:49Your sister was very hurt today by your absence.
00:48:53I was hurt.
00:48:56Family comes first in this house.
00:48:59Sunday dinner, it's how we honor your mother.
00:49:02I know.
00:49:04I'm sorry.
00:49:06Life's about balance.
00:49:07This lady, does she even care about you?
00:49:09Having you do menial tasks all day?
00:49:12Addy, remember what matters.
00:49:17Now get some sleep.
00:49:19Talk more about this in the morning.
00:49:53You look like The Walking Dead.
00:49:56Thank you for the compliment.
00:49:58Is this about the crisis?
00:50:00How did you hear about that already?
00:50:06She wants me to go downtown for spices? Come on!
00:50:09Assistant World is a thankless one.
00:50:19Code magma. Major eruption. Evacuate!
00:50:24Okay.
00:50:25You can do this. It's not a big deal.
00:50:27It's just a delight.
00:50:35Addy? Everything okay?
00:50:37You were going to commit career suicide in the lobby.
00:50:39If you need to take a pause, we can work something out.
00:50:42There's no need to involve Delaney.
00:50:44Involve me how?
00:50:47It's ten days to fashion week.
00:50:48Addy just seems a bit overwhelmed.
00:50:50Nothing to be alarmed about.
00:50:52Is that so?
00:50:54You're here early.
00:50:56Oh, I never left.
00:50:58Oh, look.
00:51:00No latte.
00:51:02Your feelings must be hurt.
00:51:05Well, I need to talk to you.
00:51:08I'll just be a phone call away.
00:51:10Certified in mediation.
00:51:16I...
00:51:18You know what? I am exhausted, so another chapter of your memoir will send me to the land of the
00:51:24undead.
00:51:25You slept here?
00:51:28I didn't sleep.
00:51:35These are incredible.
00:51:38These are perfect for the show.
00:51:39Well, unfortunately not.
00:51:41Oh, you're crazy.
00:51:42No, I'm going to go with the design team on this one.
00:51:44We have a target market, and this is not the time to take risks.
00:51:46Well, some risks are worth taking.
00:51:48Your genius is what launched this company.
00:51:50I think that you should...
00:51:51Oh, is this what you wanted to talk to me about?
00:51:53Your expertise and experience in running an international brand?
00:51:56I thought that I was going to be learning more around here.
00:52:00Not someone pushed aside to run errands.
00:52:03Errands are the job, Addy.
00:52:05Was that not made clear?
00:52:06I missed my niece's birthday yesterday and Sunday night dinner.
00:52:10And I haven't missed a dinner since my mom passed.
00:52:13Look, that's a hard choice. I'm sorry, but it happens.
00:52:17This isn't me. I believe in balance.
00:52:19I think I can still be myself and hold on to what counts most.
00:52:22You should go home, Addy.
00:52:27Right now? I mean, I was supposed to...
00:52:29Go home. I will have Janice call you when it's time to come back.
00:52:35Okay, fine. I'll leave.
00:53:06Surprise!
00:53:07What do you think?
00:53:10I'm getting some influencers tomorrow to go take some pictures in it.
00:53:13Just to make a bit more noise on the socials.
00:53:17It's so fun.
00:53:19I love it.
00:53:21You know, you're my inspiration.
00:53:23I am?
00:53:24Yeah. I mean, your red pumps.
00:53:25It's got everyone talking about how fun and provocative Delaney Diaz shoes were.
00:53:29Are.
00:53:31Hey.
00:53:33You wanna try it on?
00:53:35Yeah.
00:53:36You know, the store never really allowed me to have interactive displays, but, you know.
00:53:41You can't be tamed.
00:53:54You're absolutely beautiful.
00:54:02Delaney fired me.
00:54:04What? No.
00:54:07Yeah. I don't really blame her.
00:54:10I mean, I don't really think I'm cut out for this.
00:54:13I don't wanna be ruthless and cold.
00:54:16Well, you're not, and neither's Delaney.
00:54:19Well, she coldly asked me to leave.
00:54:22Uh-huh.
00:54:23So...
00:54:25What are you still doing here?
00:54:29Well, I made you a promise.
00:54:31I don't wanna let down the people around me anymore.
00:54:35That's a good quality to have.
00:54:39Well, it's not a popular one.
00:54:41Most people see it as weak.
00:54:43Well, popular ideas aren't always the right ones.
00:54:51This is excellent.
00:54:54I think it'll go viral.
00:54:56Yeah. Yeah.
00:54:58Yeah, my father, uh, didn't let me do what I wanted to do on the runway, so I figured I'd
00:55:04do this instead.
00:55:05Well, maybe it'll inspire Delaney. She is sketching again.
00:55:08Really?
00:55:10Yeah. And they're amazing.
00:55:12But she refuses to use them for the show.
00:55:15Well, maybe you got to her.
00:55:20She didn't actually utter the words, you're fired, did she?
00:55:23No.
00:55:24But it was implied.
00:55:27There was a tone.
00:55:29I'm just saying.
00:55:31Hang on.
00:55:32Maybe she'll surprise you.
00:55:35This whole journey has been surprising.
00:55:37I don't know if I can take it anymore.
00:55:40I don't know how you handle this circus.
00:55:44Well, that's what's great about it, right?
00:55:46Life. Not knowing.
00:55:48It's...
00:55:53But if you gotta go, you gotta go.
00:55:57But before you do go, I would love it if you made me a clown shoe.
00:56:00You know, just for old time's sake.
00:56:02It'd be the most stylish shoe you own.
00:56:04It would be an honor to wear your clown shoe.
00:56:13I should go.
00:56:15Yeah.
00:56:15I have to catch the train and go to my dad's to see my sister before I go home.
00:56:22Well, Elise, let me give you a ride.
00:56:24Come on.
00:56:29Look at all your gifts.
00:56:32Wow.
00:56:37Hello.
00:56:38I'm here.
00:56:39And I have a friend with me.
00:56:42Addie.
00:56:43Can you believe this?
00:56:44This is incredible.
00:56:47Oh, hi.
00:56:48You must be Austin, right?
00:56:52Austin.
00:56:52The, uh, boy from work shoes.
00:56:54Mm-mm.
00:56:57It's nice to meet you both.
00:56:59Thank you for letting me borrow Addie.
00:57:01She's been a really big help.
00:57:03What is all this?
00:57:05Hmm.
00:57:07Please accept my apologies for keeping your aunt from such a special day.
00:57:10Thank you for sharing.
00:57:12Best wishes, Delaney Diaz.
00:57:14P.S. Enjoy Monday dinner.
00:57:16Are you sure that's from Delaney?
00:57:19I thought I was fired.
00:57:21Also, Addie, if you need the time off, Janice will arrange it.
00:57:24I will be at the office at 8am tomorrow.
00:57:26That doesn't sound like a dismissal.
00:57:29I told you. She cares.
00:57:32Wow.
00:57:33That might be too shocked to eat.
00:57:34Looks like your boss does know how to prioritize.
00:57:36Let's eat and we can get to know Austin a little better.
00:57:39Dad, do not be weird. Please.
00:57:43Let's dig in.
00:57:53You're pretty good with your hands.
00:57:55How are you with the leather?
00:57:56He has a job, Dad.
00:57:58I need an extra set of hands around here now that you're leaving us for Delaney Diaz.
00:58:03I will always need time for you. Life's about balance, right?
00:58:07That's my girl.
00:58:08I'm the best. I should get her to bed.
00:58:11It might take a while. She requires lullabies.
00:58:14Yeah, because Claudia is tone deaf.
00:58:16Oh, thank you.
00:58:18You know what? Allow me. You, uh, you've finished dessert.
00:58:21Oh, wow. Thanks, Austin.
00:58:24You should know, though, that I am also looking for a babysitter.
00:58:28Well, I'm a jack-of-all-trades. I'll send you my resume.
00:58:30Okay.
00:58:33Shh.
00:58:37Yeah.
00:58:39I didn't have it.
00:58:41I know.
00:58:42Um, wow.
00:58:45He's a keeper.
00:58:47Let's see if he can finish this before I start saying I do's.
00:58:51Don't worry, Dad.
00:58:52My professional life has enough drama.
00:58:54I'm not trying for an office romance.
00:58:56Well, the heart wants what the heart wants.
00:58:59These are fantastic, by the way. Are they new?
00:59:02Some of them. I was inspired by Delaney's work.
00:59:04Oh, this shoe would be so perfect in that collection.
00:59:07It would be a dream to see Delaney Diaz's name under one of my sketches.
00:59:12Hmm.
00:59:14You mean, like...
00:59:18Looks right to me.
00:59:19I'll give him a chance one day.
00:59:21Oh, by the way, can I stop by the office tomorrow morning on the way to the doctor just to
00:59:25say thank you to Delaney?
00:59:27Yeah. As long as you don't talk too much.
00:59:29She hates rambling. And not before her morning latte.
00:59:32Um, you ramble, okay? I converse.
00:59:35Of course.
01:00:01Oh, he's singing to her.
01:00:04Lucky girl.
01:00:06Jealous?
01:00:10Is everything okay?
01:00:11Oh, yeah, everything's more than fine.
01:00:13Yeah, yeah, Claudia can take over.
01:00:15You have a long drive.
01:00:17Thank you for everything.
01:00:19Yeah, you're welcome.
01:00:20See you tomorrow.
01:00:22Absolutely.
01:00:25Oh, don't mind me.
01:00:31Have a good night.
01:00:35You too.
01:00:41You can keep fooling yourself.
01:00:52And he said, no, my name is Philippe.
01:00:54Oh, no.
01:00:57Sorry to interrupt.
01:00:59Delaney, I have the final designs all ready for the manufacturer and Austin will pick the best one for the
01:01:03press release.
01:01:03Oh, that's great.
01:01:05Nothing digital.
01:01:06Please, we don't want a repeat of the day-to-night pump.
01:01:08I have printed hard copies for Austin and the manufacturer.
01:01:12Impressive.
01:01:13She really is.
01:01:15Anyway, I'll let you get back to work.
01:01:17Thanks again so much for everything.
01:01:19Ruby loved all of her presents.
01:01:20It was a really special night.
01:01:23I do like to take care of what matters.
01:01:27A latte machine has arrived.
01:01:29And speaking of which...
01:01:30Addie, could you please see to that?
01:01:32Here, would you take this and I'll meet you at my desk?
01:01:35Take care.
01:01:49I'll meet you.
01:01:52So now I'll meet.
01:02:17That thats the
01:02:18Delaney wants you to choose a shoe for the press release.
01:02:21She trusts your opinion.
01:02:22She trusts yours too.
01:02:24See, I told you you weren't fired.
01:02:26I'm glad you're still here.
01:02:27Me too.
01:02:31So, how is the show going?
01:02:32Oh, it is a disaster.
01:02:34My father and I do not agree on wardrobe.
01:02:37I just wanted to make sure that fashion was for everyone.
01:02:39I wanted to make sure that people felt glamorous
01:02:41and powerful when they wore Delaney Diaz, but...
01:02:45Like the crystal shoe on the subway.
01:02:47Exactly.
01:02:48Now I just feel like he's not supporting me,
01:02:50or Delaney for that matter.
01:02:52And if this show doesn't sell, it's all over.
01:02:56Anyway, everything is ready.
01:02:57All I need are the shoes.
01:02:58Well, they should be ready by next week.
01:03:00Good.
01:03:01Make sure you guard this book with your life.
01:03:03Delaney is paranoid something will go wrong again.
01:03:06Sure thing.
01:03:07Are you coming to the party tonight with Delaney?
01:03:09To open Fashion Week? Of course.
01:03:12And Delaney can't wait to go.
01:03:14Oh.
01:03:14Shocking, right?
01:03:15Well, miracles do happen.
01:03:17Mm-hmm.
01:03:19I'll see you tonight.
01:03:21Okay.
01:03:25Hello again.
01:03:27Oh, Andrea Walker from Franco Chassier.
01:03:30Spying again?
01:03:32Want to steal more of our ideas?
01:03:33I happen to live on this block, and this is actually my favorite coffee shop.
01:03:36And for the record, we didn't take your shoe concept.
01:03:39We had one in the works, and we just happened to release it first.
01:03:42You used my words.
01:03:44I told Franco about you.
01:03:47How would you like to come work with us?
01:03:49Tempting, but no.
01:03:50I work for Delaney.
01:03:52If all goes to plan, then Delaney will be under our company.
01:03:55I'm trying to help you out here.
01:03:57Secure you a seat on the lifeboat when her ship inevitably goes down.
01:04:00Well, when our show goes well, the ship will keep sailing.
01:04:02It would take a miracle.
01:04:05Our door is open.
01:04:07Think about it.
01:04:22Hello.
01:04:26Okay, get me a glass of peanut, please, and then we'll slip out the back.
01:04:30Oh, people want to see you.
01:04:31You have to linger a little bit.
01:04:32It's good for the brand.
01:04:34You sound like Austin.
01:04:36Did he send out the press release?
01:04:37Oh, let me check.
01:04:38He said he was going to send it out before the party.
01:04:40You know what?
01:04:41Never mind.
01:04:41Wine first.
01:04:42And can you get me a big glass?
01:04:44I need something I can hide behind.
01:04:45Yes.
01:04:51Glass of bread, please.
01:05:03Delaney, hi.
01:05:05I saw your press release.
01:05:06I'd love to get your take on the old design.
01:05:09It certainly is a departure from the boring, safe designs you've been putting out lately.
01:05:12Has the fashion bloggers in quite the uproar?
01:05:15Well, I didn't design that shoe.
01:05:17Now, a good reporter would know to check his facts.
01:05:20But then again, we're talking about you.
01:05:22Yeah.
01:05:23The science sketch impressed really stating you designed the shoe.
01:05:26Mistakes otherwise.
01:05:28Here's my headline.
01:05:29Aging fashion icon is up to her.
01:05:31Tricks again.
01:05:32Stealing designs and releasing them under her own name.
01:05:35This sad story will surely go viral.
01:05:39Excuse me.
01:05:44Delaney, you're needed for a photo right now.
01:05:46What are you insinuating here?
01:05:47Sorry, Delaney.
01:05:48I'm gonna need this back so I can tweet about my latest scoop if you don't mind.
01:05:51Come on.
01:05:52I don't...
01:05:53Joe.
01:05:53What's he talking about?
01:05:57It's okay.
01:05:58No, it's not okay.
01:05:59This is a disaster, Addy.
01:06:01That crap is probably already all over social media.
01:06:03Hashtag Delaney steals again.
01:06:05But it isn't true.
01:06:06It doesn't matter.
01:06:07The first lie wins.
01:06:08Don't you understand?
01:06:09How did this even happen?
01:06:11I swear, when I find out who did it, I am going to destroy them.
01:06:13Their business, their home, their family.
01:06:16Their family?
01:06:17Yes.
01:06:17I need to hit them where it hurts the most.
01:06:19I'm about to lose everything that matters to me.
01:06:22My reputation.
01:06:23My entire life, Addy.
01:06:26Everything.
01:06:27I want you to gather everyone on the team in the conference room, 7am.
01:06:30Sharp.
01:06:31No exceptions.
01:06:32Yes.
01:06:34I killed it!
01:06:40It's a simple question.
01:06:42Where did this shoe come from?
01:06:45Who designed it?
01:06:48It's new to me, but a very stylish shoe.
01:06:50I wish I could take credit.
01:06:52Have you asked Austin?
01:06:54Yes.
01:06:55He says that it was in the book.
01:06:57He's stopping by the manufacturer today to see if there was some kind of mix-up.
01:07:01What if he put it in there?
01:07:03Not possible.
01:07:05An up and coming PR guy desperate to save your brand and make his mark?
01:07:09Their motto is, all press is good press.
01:07:12No, there's no way.
01:07:14Austin would never put me in this position.
01:07:15Well, if there's a positive, your name is all over social media.
01:07:20Yes, it certainly is.
01:07:22You know they are comparing this beautiful shoe to our safe designs?
01:07:26They are talking about the rest of our line.
01:07:28That's a good thing.
01:07:29It's not a favorable comparison, Alexander.
01:07:31You didn't steal anything, Delaney.
01:07:33I'm sure this will all get cleared up before the show.
01:07:35Just give it a little bit more time.
01:07:37The story is out.
01:07:38I would need a time machine.
01:07:40No, I can't risk another public humiliation.
01:07:46Cancel the show.
01:07:48No, don't do that.
01:07:49You have to keep fighting.
01:07:50The fight is over, Addy, and we lost.
01:07:53If we get any more backlash, our stock is going to plummet.
01:07:57Now, show sewer may want to put me in a bargain basement, but I won't let them purchase us at
01:08:02bottom dollar.
01:08:05No.
01:08:07We're done here.
01:08:09Go home.
01:08:16Okay.
01:08:17Get the team together.
01:08:18Think about anything that could have got the shoe in that package, okay?
01:08:22We cannot cancel the show.
01:08:38There you are.
01:08:40Take care.
01:08:42Connor's true repair.
01:08:44Hey, it's me.
01:08:45Hey, Addy.
01:08:46How's work?
01:08:47You left so early this morning.
01:08:49It's terrible.
01:08:50My sketches got into the final design and Austin used it for the press release because he thought they were
01:08:55Delaney's designs.
01:08:56That's great news.
01:08:57Oh, no, it's not.
01:08:59Delaney was outed by a reporter for stealing it.
01:09:01So, tell her it's yours.
01:09:03How?
01:09:03She'll think I did it on purpose and she's on a warpath.
01:09:07She threatened my career, our family.
01:09:09I can't have Dad's shop getting taken out for this.
01:09:11She'll understand.
01:09:12I know her.
01:09:13You do not know Delaney's wrath.
01:09:16Thing is, I don't even know how the sketches got in there.
01:09:19Mmm.
01:09:21I maybe do.
01:09:23What?
01:09:24No, Claudia.
01:09:25You didn't.
01:09:26I just, I wanted to help you out.
01:09:28You know, you are so talented and people need to see it.
01:09:33You're welcome.
01:09:34No, no.
01:09:35This isn't a good thing.
01:09:36She's going to lose everything.
01:09:37She cancelled the runway show.
01:09:39It was her last chance at keeping Franco Chaussure from buying her out.
01:09:42Wow.
01:09:43I didn't know.
01:09:44I am so sorry.
01:09:46What can I do?
01:09:46Do you want me to call Delaney?
01:09:48No.
01:09:48No, no, no.
01:09:49Absolutely not.
01:09:50Austin is on his way here now and I'll keep you posted, okay?
01:09:54Okay.
01:09:55Bye.
01:10:09Austin Strickland.
01:10:12You have quite the PR disaster on your hands.
01:10:15Thanks for the update.
01:10:16I wasn't aware.
01:10:16You know, when I offered Addie a job, I didn't expect her to make it easier for our acquisition.
01:10:22Franco may promote her before she even starts.
01:10:24What are you talking about?
01:10:25She's not only talented, but ambitious.
01:10:28Slipping in her own design?
01:10:31Tell me, were you in on it too?
01:10:33Because if so, we may have a job offer for you as well.
01:10:36Austin.
01:10:48I have something I have to tell you.
01:10:49Oh, no need.
01:10:50No need.
01:10:51Andrew told me everything.
01:10:52How could you?
01:10:53What?
01:10:54Slipping in your design like that?
01:10:56Backstabbing Delaney, myself, after all that talk about not being cutthroat, you are ruthless.
01:11:00Austin, that's not what happened.
01:11:02It's a beautiful shoe.
01:11:04It's honestly too bad that it won't be a fashion week.
01:11:06Well, you can bring your designs to the office.
01:11:08I know that Franco is very excited to see them.
01:11:10We'll see you then.
01:11:13I see you really found your place.
01:11:16Well played.
01:11:17Austin.
01:11:19Austin.
01:11:40How did you know I was here?
01:11:43Your mom always brought you here and you had a bad day at school.
01:11:45So...
01:11:47Claudia told you.
01:11:54So what happens next?
01:11:58I know Claudia was just trying to help.
01:12:01And I'm sure Austin has told Delaney.
01:12:06You just worked so hard.
01:12:09I can't believe it's going to end like this.
01:12:12And the worst part is, everyone thinks I did it on purpose.
01:12:15Like I'm some malicious traitor.
01:12:19You're not.
01:12:21And you're not a quitter.
01:12:23I don't really have many other options.
01:12:26Yes you do.
01:12:28Get back up and you'll fight.
01:12:29Never give up.
01:12:31You know you belong there.
01:12:32Sure then.
01:12:34You owe it to yourself.
01:12:35No.
01:12:36It's over.
01:12:38The show's cancelled.
01:12:40The show's serious buying the company.
01:12:43Did they buy the company today?
01:12:46No.
01:12:47Soon.
01:12:49The show's been cancelled.
01:12:51Can it be uncancelled?
01:12:54Today, maybe?
01:12:58Well, we do still have the space booked, but...
01:13:02When you were young, you used to build these wonderful towers with your mama's shoes. Remember that?
01:13:07Yeah.
01:13:08Claudia loved knocking them over.
01:13:11Remember what your mother told you?
01:13:14Just because it fell apart doesn't mean it can't be rebuilt.
01:13:17Exactly.
01:13:18You really think I can fix it?
01:13:21I think you can do anything.
01:13:24I think I'm a terrible person.
01:13:27Go show them what you really are.
01:13:47Please don't take that down.
01:13:51You got some guts showing up here, huh?
01:13:54I should call security.
01:13:56I know what you're thinking, but there has been a big misunderstanding.
01:14:00Save it, Addie.
01:14:01I'm really not interested.
01:14:03I am trying to save the company, and I think I know how.
01:14:05What are you, a double agent now?
01:14:07You're gonna bring Chaucer Secrets to me?
01:14:12Yes.
01:14:13They offered me a job, but I turned it down.
01:14:17Although I have questioned myself every step of the way, and you haven't made it very easy.
01:14:24I know I belong here.
01:14:26Well, that is touching.
01:14:27Is that why you submitted your design under my name?
01:14:30I didn't.
01:14:30But how did it get there, Addie?
01:14:31I have a very loving family who thought they were helping me out.
01:14:35Claudia slipped my design into the book.
01:14:38She wanted you to see my work.
01:14:39No one thought that it would escalate like this.
01:14:42It was a very big mistake, but I think something good can come of this.
01:14:46The show's canceled, Addie.
01:14:47It's over.
01:14:49Chaucer is already working on the paperwork for the buyout.
01:14:52I mean, the curtain is falling.
01:14:54But we can do the show.
01:14:55We still have the space.
01:14:58Except we don't have any shoes.
01:15:01I had the manufacturer throw them all out.
01:15:04Why?
01:15:05Because they're insignificant.
01:15:08You know, the hardest part about this is that people were just starting to get excited about me again.
01:15:14Except it wasn't me at all.
01:15:16And when they found out the truth, well, it just confirmed what they already believe.
01:15:21Delaney Diaz is a has-been.
01:15:23I always knew a Delaney Diaz shoe could get you where you needed to go, no matter the circumstance.
01:15:30Well, I appreciate your passion, but you are overlooking one very significant detail.
01:15:35No.
01:15:35No shoes.
01:15:36No shoes.
01:15:37But you do.
01:15:39You have these.
01:15:43These are shoes you can conquer the world, and this is what the people want.
01:15:52Well, that may well be, but no, no.
01:15:55You're wrong.
01:15:56The public won't show up for me.
01:15:57Not anymore.
01:15:58Thanks to Jacob.
01:16:00You are tough.
01:16:02But you are smart.
01:16:04And generous.
01:16:05We can't give up now.
01:16:08Don't lose yourself.
01:16:10You'll win over the public.
01:16:11I know it.
01:16:12How do you propose I do that?
01:16:14You show them who you really are.
01:16:18Except the show is in less than 48 hours, and what am I going to do?
01:16:20I can't make the shoes myself.
01:16:23Nope.
01:16:24But I know someone who can.
01:16:30But I know someone who can.
01:16:32Wow.
01:16:33So you repair all kinds of shoes here.
01:16:34Oh, yes.
01:16:35We don't discriminate.
01:16:36Except Franco's so, sir.
01:16:39Cheaply made, soles thin as paper.
01:16:43Okay.
01:16:44We have 48 hours to make these shoes, but luckily we have all the materials and tools to get this
01:16:49done.
01:16:50Thank you all so much.
01:16:51I can't tell you what it means to me that you're doing this.
01:16:53We really appreciated Ruby's gifts, and you taking our Addie under your wing.
01:16:59She's the one flying now.
01:17:03Let's get to work.
01:17:06We got this.
01:17:44We won't go down without a fight.
01:17:46Come and see your vision walk the runway.
01:17:48P.S.
01:17:49Please accept these as an apology.
01:17:51Addie.
01:18:01And of course, the biggest story in fashion is tonight's highly anticipated comeback show by Delaney Diaz.
01:18:09Already, it's generated a lot of buzz, having initially been cancelled after the revelation of some still unproven allegations.
01:18:17The show is now just moments away, signifying that the normally safe-playing Diaz is ready to face any controversy
01:18:24head-on.
01:18:25Still, people are asking, does she have it in her to win over the fashion world once again?
01:18:47So I need to get in my win over the fashion world.
01:18:48This is my home model balance show, I need to be in the fashion world mode.
01:18:52I have to get into the fashion world a little while I'm in the fashion world.
01:18:54I feel like I'm a brand new one.
01:19:04Okay, we're all set.
01:19:05Oh, not quite yet.
01:19:07I want to add one more.
01:19:08Oh, we don't have an extra model.
01:19:11That's okay, because I want you to walk.
01:19:14Me?
01:19:16So far, we've managed to avoid total disaster.
01:19:19Let's not hit the iceberg direct.
01:19:20No, I really think that this might be the right way to clear up any old headlines.
01:19:24And also, to give credit where credit is due.
01:19:31Oh, I thought you threw these all away.
01:19:34What, are you kidding?
01:19:35Even in a fit of rage, I know better than to throw away a great shoe.
01:19:39And that's a great shoe.
01:19:41Oh, honey, don't cry.
01:19:43I'm not.
01:19:45The compliments from you are few and far between.
01:19:47And I appreciate them.
01:19:49Well, good.
01:19:50Wear them with pride.
01:19:52You're stepping out into a whole new world now.
01:19:54And I think after tonight, everything is going to change.
01:20:02What is it?
01:20:04Austin's not here.
01:20:07Places, everyone.
01:20:09Don't take it personally.
01:20:10He just had to do what was best for his career.
01:20:14Now, why don't you put those puppies on, and we're going to go out there and do what's best for
01:20:19our careers.
01:20:20Okay.
01:20:21All right.
01:20:48I'm loving it.
01:20:52Get ready to be adored.
01:20:54You too.
01:20:55You're coming with me.
01:21:02So this is a runway.
01:21:04We've got to strut like we are conquering the world.
01:21:06Walk with fire.
01:21:24You came.
01:21:25I had to break in these new shoes.
01:21:27Great show.
01:21:29Well, it's not over yet.
01:21:37I have a special surprise for you, gentlemen.
01:21:40A special treat for you.
01:21:42Coming soon, a new men's line designed by our newest designer at Delaney Diaz,
01:21:47Ms. Addie Connors.
01:22:04Are you serious?
01:22:06What about the buyout?
01:22:08What buyout?
01:22:09There's no way Shoser's going to be able to afford us now.
01:22:11Look at all these orders.
01:22:12The show is not even over yet.
01:22:17I knew you'd make a comeback.
01:22:18You're not looking for new representation by any chance,
01:22:21because I happen to know an up-and-coming firm,
01:22:23Austin Lilly PR.
01:22:25You're taking on your clients.
01:22:27Lilly?
01:22:28Yeah, it's my mom's name.
01:22:29You really inspired me to go after what I believe in, so thank you.
01:22:32Oh, honey, I would be so honored to be your first client.
01:22:36And you can use the office next door to my newest designer's office.
01:22:39At least until you're up and running.
01:22:41I get my own office?
01:22:42What?
01:22:43Of course you do.
01:22:44You're my newest designer.
01:22:47What do you say, neighbor?
01:22:49I say, on one condition.
01:22:51What's that?
01:22:52I get to wear your newest men's designs for our first date.
01:22:56I think we can arrange that.
01:22:57All right.
01:22:58Shall we?
01:22:59Yes.
01:23:11Yes.
01:23:13Yes.
01:23:17Yes.
01:23:22Yes.
01:23:23Yes.
01:23:23Yes.
01:23:24Yes.
01:23:31I'll be safe.
