00:11Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! The system crashed mid-upload! Half the collection is the wrong season!
00:18Wrong everything!
00:19No! The London runway is in 48 hours! If production starts with these botched designs, we're all dead! Not just
00:30fired, we're dead! Company collapses, our careers are over!
00:34Come out here and talk to us! We have 8 million tied up in this collection!
00:39I have a passion that you're promoting right now! One word for me, your industry poison!
00:58Enough! Vic!
01:02Mia, Japanese indigo. Miranda, call production, emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:16Tell the boss to hold all calls. I need 28 minutes.
01:2028 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot!
01:2427 now. Tick tock.
01:46I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:49I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes!
01:53Holy shit! Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
02:04Vic! Are you okay?
02:08Just Rax and Hicks, nothing to-
02:13Oh my god, your water broke!
02:22Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:27Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:31Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges
02:39since he decided that his assistance then was more comfortable than ours.
02:44That's my girl.
02:54Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But there's a condition. We need to slash costs. Immediately.
03:04Layoffs.
03:08Absent without leave.
03:10Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:14Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:20In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:27No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:35Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:41Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:45Oh, actually...
03:46How about I make you the new creative director? Starting today.
03:52Oh, my God. Is this really happening?
03:54She's offering me Victoria's job? I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:07But, Victoria...
04:08Don't worry about her. I'm not useless. Prego just got fired.
04:16You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:19I hid something in the design.
04:22Your initials and now little graces.
04:26Hold them right into the fabric.
04:31And that's gonna be a Milan runway?
04:35Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:38Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:41Mom, you ain't have to.
04:43You're going to that private school.
04:45No discussion.
04:47Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:50This job will keep us afloat.
04:52I love you, Mom.
05:03Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:08After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:28Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:41Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:43It's terminated.
05:44Effective immediately.
05:47You can't just do that.
05:49She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:51There are laws against this.
05:53Vic worked while in labor.
05:55She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:59Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:04Everything okay here?
06:09Great timing.
06:11Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:14Clear out your desk now.
06:25You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:27I saved this company three times when your father could have made payroll.
06:31Three times.
06:34Whoa.
06:36That's ancient history.
06:38The board wants fresh blood.
06:41And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:48What?
06:49I'm the one who...
06:53Mia, you...
06:55Feel that curve?
06:57That's your signature.
06:58That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:05How could you?
07:06I taught you everything you know.
07:15I wish things were different, Vic.
07:20I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:28What happens to my team?
07:31Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:36Things got so bad she had to get hair implants.
07:41Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:45These jobs are their lifelines.
07:47Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:50You can't just throw them away.
07:53Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:56No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
08:02Or, we can shift the math.
08:05You sign, they stay, the budget works out, think of it as taking one for the team.
08:16Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:19And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:22They can't lose their jobs.
08:28Come on, Vic. You say you care about them.
08:31Prove it.
08:44Prove it.
09:07Five grand.
09:09That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:11That's what I'm worth to them.
09:24Be careful.
09:28I got you.
09:34Vincent?
09:36Vincent Chevalier?
09:38Hi.
09:41High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:54So, it's true.
09:58Grey Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Misan Laveau's Milan collection.
10:07How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:14Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:18What are you getting at exactly?
10:21I'm talking about you and me.
10:26Partners.
10:27Your genius, my money.
10:31No corporate BS.
10:33No one holding you back.
10:40I've got a baby to think about now.
10:42And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:48Just saying.
10:53Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:55You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
11:00Got your spy here?
11:05Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing.
11:10Triple her salary, corner office.
11:13You know, before the vultures at LB or Chanel swoop in.
11:17Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:20Rescuing a washed-up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:24Wow, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:30I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:35The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:38If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:44Shit, shit, shit.
11:46What are you talking about?
11:48Victoria designed all of this.
11:56Actually, those were my designs.
12:01What did you just say?
12:03The spring collection.
12:04The Cartier pieces.
12:06I designed them.
12:08Under your supervision, of course, but they came for me.
12:12Oops, looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:16I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:19Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:30So what? Sketches get passed around all the time. It doesn't prove squat.
12:34Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:37Ghost designer?
12:39And the logo?
12:42The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark. It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:50Mom, Mia, explain it and make me shut up.
12:56It's funny.
12:57All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing it over.
13:02They all have EW and GW's so new, too.
13:06Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter. Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:13It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:17Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:21Well, Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.
13:28The logo, it's...
13:30It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:34You lying little bitch!
13:37That promotion was for saving the company!
13:44Look at the logo again.
13:46It's not EW or GW.
13:49It's actually two M's.
13:52M-M for McMichael, my last name.
13:58See? One M flipped, one upright.
14:02It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:06It's mine.
14:08That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:11Oh my god, she's right. It does look more like two M's.
14:16Human, if you let it be, you really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:22You learned wild, Mia.
14:25Maybe too well.
14:27You'll regret this.
14:30I'm not missing.
14:32We don't have to sink to that level.
14:34Okay.
14:36Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:37My Ferrari's outside.
14:39I got this. You shouldn't be carrying anything for you.
14:47Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:51Just take care of Miranda and Polly, will you?
14:56That's right! Get the hell out of my company!
14:58Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
15:07Oh, I'm Victoria.
15:11VIP invitation. Paris Fashion Week. Front row. I think you'll find it. Enlightening.
15:26Every pregnant woman fired. All of us. Just like that. No severance. No warning. Nothing. But a box and a
15:37security escort.
15:43Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities. Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign and born as my
15:50writing star.
15:51Now, about Paris Fashion Week. Their designs are eagerly awaited.
15:59Should have kept your legs closed.
16:10Oh my god, mom. This is insane. I can't believe we're actually here.
16:15Victoria Wintour. The Nuclear Vic. Your mom's basically a legend. You know that, right?
16:22We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau. Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:31Wait. Maison Léveau?
16:35Well, well. The Queen without her crown graces us with her presence. Brave of you to show up here.
16:41What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:46Leaving so soon? You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:51Has mommy dearest filled you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:58Mom, is that true?
17:03Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:08Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour. Still pretending she matters.
17:16My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:20If Maison Léveau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and
17:27burn.
17:27Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:31Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:35That's got a sting, huh?
17:37Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
17:42But hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hard-working children.
17:47If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:51That's enough.
17:56That's enough.
17:58You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.
18:03Look at her. A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:08That dress. It's a cheap knock-off.
18:14Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:17It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:24What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:26Remove that dress.
18:29We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:33Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:36Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:40Take your hands off her now.
18:44Vincent.
18:50You're dismissed.
19:00You alright?
19:04You alright?
19:06Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:09The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:12What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:16That knock-off?
19:18That you're so here to trash her for?
19:21It's Chevenne.
19:24Mote Couture. Winter Collection.
19:27Not even released yet.
19:29Price tag?
19:31300,000.
19:32Wow!
19:34You gave her that.
19:35That's right.
19:36You did.
19:39I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:43Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:46Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy!
19:49Mr. Billionaire is not a white knight, he's her walking trust fund.
19:55Victoria sleeping her weight at the top.
19:58It's just so predictably desperate.
20:04You really don't understand real talent, do you?
20:09For those of you who don't know me,
20:11I'm Vincent Chevalier, CEO of Jevenne.
20:17Yes.
20:19I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:23I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:27Your brilliance.
20:28Your principles.
20:30Your passion.
20:33Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:36Tom, did you know about this?
20:39I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:43But in the meantime, what I will do,
20:46is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:50She won't let you down, boss.
20:55You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:57She's nothing but a has-been.
21:00The show is about to start.
21:02Your seats are waiting.
21:09Holy shit.
21:10The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:14Talk about a power couple.
21:16They could run the entire industry.
21:19This isn't over, bitch.
21:21Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:32So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:39Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:44Some people, too.
21:50Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show,
21:53I have an important announcement.
21:55This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:58She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
22:04It's true.
22:05She took my work and passed it off as her own.
22:08I've slaved away on those designs.
22:11Day and night.
22:14And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:21That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:24Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:28That's enough, Holly.
22:31Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:35Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:39Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:44That's her real design strategy.
22:46Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:48And those kids she's so proud of?
22:50Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:54How dare you!
22:58Miss Jenkins. Miss McMichaels.
23:00It's a disaster in there.
23:02There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
23:05Not now.
23:11The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:15The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:18We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:21Is this some kind of sick joke, Maisemovale?
23:23Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
23:26This is completely unprofessional.
23:28I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:32This is breach of contract.
23:36It's actually fixable.
23:39Mom, you can't seriously be thinking about helping you backstabbing vultures.
23:45Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:48Maisemovale appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:51Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled minutes before showtime.
23:55The question on everyone's mind?
23:57Is this the end for the once prestigious fashion groups?
24:04This show doesn't happen.
24:06You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
24:09We're talking billions, homie.
24:11Billions.
24:36What's this?
24:37Now.
24:39How? The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:43I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:47You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:50If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:55That's billions of dollars.
24:57Then you better figure something out.
24:59Because if you don't, not only are you fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
25:15Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
25:20Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:24Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:27And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:32We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:45Excuse me.
25:48Excuse him for that.
25:49It's okay, punk. I'll be right back.
25:57What do you want, Mia?
26:04Vic, I really need your help.
26:06Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
26:11Look, I know you're furious. I would be too.
26:15But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
26:18What about them?
26:19Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:22If we tank, they're done. Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:27Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out here.
26:32Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:35Yes, absolutely. And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:39Please, Vic, not for me. For them. For it's weird.
26:44I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make or break show.
26:49What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:54They, they couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.
26:59Is that right?
27:01Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
27:06They do.
27:08Fine.
27:11I'll help you.
27:12But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
27:15Not for you.
27:26Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter. The nuclear VEC.
27:31I need scissors, thread and fresh lining fabric. Now.
27:41I need royal fuchsia for this stitching. Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric. Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:51Would this work?
27:59Vincent, how did you...?
28:01I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
28:10This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors. Why would you help them?
28:18I'm not helping them.
28:20I'm helping you.
28:23I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:26I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:31It's yours now.
28:33I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:37Then what do you want?
28:40You.
28:42What?
28:47Your talent.
28:48Your vision.
28:50Come and work as Joven.
28:53I'm in.
28:55I'll work for you.
28:57Just like that?
28:58Just like that.
28:59Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
29:06I hate it when I call her.
29:10I wish I was cool.
29:13Like the new girl at school.
29:15I regret it.
29:16So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get out.
29:20I want me back.
29:22Don't ever change.
29:26I'm gonna be proud of my name
29:30She's doing it in minutes
29:32What would have taken us hours
29:33Whoa
29:35No wonder they call her the nuclear vic
29:38It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing
29:41The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur
29:50Five minutes till showtime
29:51We made it
30:05Well, do we pull the plug or not?
30:08We're good. Everything's back on track
30:11See?
30:12I knew firing Victoria was the right call. You've got twice her talent
30:18Yeah, right
30:19This is exactly why I promoted you
30:22You fix this, does not make them
30:31To Victoria
30:33The real hero of the night
30:46Mom, you're insane
30:47I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour
30:52Couldn't have done it without you
30:55You know, if you start dating before you work together
30:58It doesn't count as an office romance
31:04Well, well, still hanging around
31:07I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party
31:11Fraud
31:12Pauline
31:13Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight
31:16What are you talking about?
31:18Just ask the models
31:20Any of them
31:23Oh, and Mia
31:24Don't forget about our agreement
31:26About Miranda and Pauline
31:28I won't
31:34Two new beginnings at Chauvin
31:43Speaking of new beginnings
31:46Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:50I want to help
31:51With her education
31:53What?
31:55Vincent, that's too much
31:56We barely know each other
31:59Victoria
32:01I've known you since we were 17
32:04I remember
32:06Watching you win that regional competition
32:08In that silver dress
32:11The one you made from scratch
32:13I saw
32:14The way your eyes lit up
32:16When you talked about
32:18Changing the fashion world
32:20You remember that?
32:21I remember everything
32:25I
32:26Have followed your career
32:28All these years
32:29Just
32:30Hoping that our paths would cross again
32:33Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:35You were married
32:38And then you weren't
32:40And then you were building your career
32:43Timing just
32:44Was never right
32:47Until now
32:57I've been waiting
32:5820 years to do this
33:13I should
33:15Probably get this
33:25Mia?
33:29God, I was so right about firing Victoria
33:32That Milan disaster you turned around?
33:34Absolute magic
33:36And now I have an opportunity
33:37That can put you on the map for good
33:39Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo
33:42For the Oscars red carpet
33:46Sean Gosling?
33:48The Sean Gosling?
33:49The very one
33:50Three-time Oscar winner
33:52People's Sexiest Man Alive
33:53And if we play our cards right
33:55The next face of Maison Nouveau's menswear
33:58They're taking pitches now
34:00If he picks yours
34:02This changes everything
34:03For you
34:04For the brand
34:06Word is
34:07Joven's in the running too
34:08Land this
34:10Vincent and his poor Victoria
34:12Are done
34:16Seal the deal
34:17I'll bump your pay by 20%
34:20I've got this Holly
34:21You won't regret it
34:29God, what am I gonna do?
34:31I can't design menswear
34:33I barely pulled off the woman's
34:35With Victoria's help
34:36Miranda and Pauline are gone too
34:38I'm completely on my own
34:42If Holly bought that
34:44I saved Milan
34:45And fixed Paris
34:46When it was all Victoria
34:48Maybe I can squeeze
34:51One more miracle over her
35:13Thanks for meeting me
35:15I know things are complicated between us
35:17You mentioned Miranda and Pauline
35:19Cut to the chase
35:24We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux
35:26Miranda and Pauline are also
35:28Miranda's excellent with menswear
35:30She can handle this without me
35:31Please, wait
35:31There's more to it
35:33After Paris
35:34Holly needed someone to blame
35:35For the fabric disaster
35:36Miranda and Pauline
35:38Are on the chopping block
35:39I've been fighting for them
35:41Are you serious?
35:43Pauline's due any day now
35:45Trust me
35:46I know
35:46This project is our only shot
35:48If we land it
35:49I can convince Holly
35:50To keep them both
35:51Have you worked with Sean before?
35:53No
35:54But I've heard you have
35:56Ages ago
35:58I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala
36:01Actually, I was sketching in your tuxedo concept frame
36:03Right before I left Maison alone
36:05Really?
36:06What concept?
36:11Well...
36:25Perfect
36:26She's handing everything over without even realizing
36:29I'll use her design to save my ass and lay on this project
36:33Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:37I do
36:39Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau
36:44Wait
36:45Miranda went on maternity leave last week
36:48How exactly is she part of this project?
36:50Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have
36:54Holly's letting her work from home
36:56Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:59Of course, Vic
37:02Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here
37:07I need to lay the body
37:09Take all the time you need
37:11Mia
37:13Don't make me regret trusting you
37:15Again
37:37Pumpkin, I need a quick favor
37:39Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:43The Sean Gosling one with the black satin lapel?
37:46That's the one
37:47Can you check my home office?
37:49It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025
37:53Got it
37:54Grace is napping
37:56It's the perfect timing
37:57Thanks, sweetie
37:58I just need to double check something about the...
38:04Shoulder
38:04Instruction
38:07Mom, are you okay?
38:13Miranda?
38:14Vic?
38:19Mom!
38:20Mom!
38:21Mom!
38:21What's going on?
38:23Emily, I'll call you right back
38:26Brenda, what happened?
38:28Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:31Bill's don't pay themselves
38:32You met my husband
38:34Old child with no paycheck
38:36And now there's a newborn at home
38:38Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the golfing project
38:43What?
38:44Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:48After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company
38:53No severance, no cover, nothing
38:55Just gone
38:56That's completely illegal
38:59Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause
39:04All at once
39:06What are the odds, right?
39:09And Polly
39:09Working night shifts at 24 hours diner
39:13Her sister medical bills keep piling up
39:21And Mia knew about all this
39:24Mia
39:25Front row seat when Holly made an announcement
39:29Didn't even blink
39:30Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director
39:34To her title
39:36She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me
39:39Telling me her job depended on me helping her
39:42What?
39:44That bitch
39:47This ends now
39:54Damn it
40:00Miss, Miss Michael
40:01He's just arrived from Milan
40:03We need approval by name for them
40:05Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:17What are y'all looking at? Get back to work
40:20Victoria would never treat us
40:24I heard that
40:25You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:28Then where is she now?
40:30Gone
40:30Now I'm in charge
40:32And if anyone has a problem with that
40:34There's the door
40:36Well at least she could actually design it
40:42What the hell is going on here?
40:45Just a great disagreement
40:47Everything's in control
40:48The Gosling Pidge
40:50Tell me you have something presentable
40:55Of course I'm just finalizing some details
40:57Show me
40:59It's not quite ready for me
41:01Now
41:07No
41:07This is garbage
41:10Absolute garbage
41:11I just-
41:12I just need a little more time
41:13We don't have more time
41:14This is Sean Gosling we're talking about
41:16If Shufin gets this deal instead of us
41:22What's that?
41:29It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design
41:34I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil
41:37Get me a wedding design by tomorrow morning
41:39Or pack up your desk by lunch
42:05I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage
42:13Right on cue
42:18Meet that sketch ASAP
42:20Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it
42:23The absolute nerve of this woman
42:28She'll get her a sketch
42:30And that's when we spring the trap
42:44You're early?
42:46Bec
42:47I really need that sketch
42:49I said I'd help
42:58Not hand over my design
43:00Holly's all over me about this
43:02If I don't have something tonight
43:04Miranda and Pauline are toast
43:08Still lying Mia
43:09You never learn
43:10Guess it's payback time
43:12So
43:13Do you want my help or not?
43:15I can walk you through it
43:17Your design could be just as good
43:19She's such a snake
43:22Bec my stomach is killing me
43:24Can you run to the pharmacy
43:26Can you run to the pharmacy and get something please?
43:28Fine
43:29But don't touch anything
43:31You'll never walk you by
43:31You'll never walk you through
43:31You'll never walk you through
43:57Here in the pharmacy
44:00You'll never walk you through
44:12you just let her take your work she walked out with exactly what i wanted her to have

45:52you
46:51And you're still here.
46:53Final tweaks.
46:54The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:59You've got Grace to sleep.
47:04Yeah.
47:06And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
47:11Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:20Remember, smile, we're about to make the street.
47:26Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:28We don't follow trends, we create them.
47:37Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:45I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:55What is that bitch doing here?
48:01Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
48:05My company is thriving because of your generosity.
48:11I didn't expect to see you here.
48:13I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:19I multitask.
48:21Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:25You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
48:30The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:33And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:38Pregnant woman talk, you know.
48:40Three ex-employees and a rival CEO.
48:43What's next?
48:43A fake sale?
48:46Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:47You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:50And what real loyalty looks like.
49:06Sean, glad you could make it.
49:08We have something very special to show you.
49:13Vic.
49:17I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:20Congratulations.
49:21Thank you, Sean.
49:23It's good to see you.
49:25Let's begin the pitches.
49:28You ready to lose?
49:29You're out of your league.
49:31You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:41First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
50:02Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
50:14Beautiful work.
50:15Both teams.
50:20We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:27After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...
50:34Maison Laveau.
50:35Oh, yeah!
50:37Oh, my God.
50:38Of course.
50:40This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:53What the hell did you people put me in?
50:56Are you trying to kill me?
50:58Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
51:01Who designed this tuxedo?
51:02Did you even read the brief?
51:06I mean...
51:08Did you...
51:08You must have read the brief.
51:09It's not complicated.
51:11It says...
51:12No synthetic blends.
51:14I mean...
51:15It must be some kind of mistake.
51:17Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:19A mistake?
51:20I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:23Victoria.
51:25Please.
51:25Tell these amateurs
51:27why you pulled your last design.
51:36I pulled my design
51:37because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:40I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
51:43And that's why Victoria's the best.
51:45She actually pays attention.
51:47After reviewing all of the entries,
51:49the committee has reached a decision.
51:51The commission goes to
51:53Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:55Which are there.
51:58Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
52:01Mia's design was the front runner all along.
52:03That's why they picked her first.
52:08Maybe everyone should see this.
52:16Wait, Mia.
52:17Did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:23Not so near low.
52:25Even for you.
52:30Maison Laveau
52:31will be hearing from my liars.
52:33So you know,
52:36I will be supporting Victoria's case
52:38for design theft.
52:41Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:44We're suspending all collaborations.
52:56Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:59You're blacklisted.
53:04You're blacklisted.
53:05Victoria, please.
53:15Victoria, please.
53:18I'll do anything.
53:19Please just help me save the company,
53:21the brand you built for 15 years.
53:24You made your choices, Holly.
53:26Now you live with them.
53:30Why would you go too far?
53:37Shawn Gosling's look tonight is a game-changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:42And social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
53:53To the best comeback in fashion history.
53:57And to the women who made it happen.
53:59And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
54:06Mom.
54:07You might want to see this.
54:18Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:23Happy birthday to you!
54:29Nice.
54:30Look.
54:32Maison Laveau on the brink.
54:35Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:38Ouch.
54:39I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:42It's strange, isn't it?
54:48I gave them everything.
54:50Late nights, weekends, all the best years.
54:54And they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:57Now it's all crashing down.
54:59I thought I'd feel vindicated.
55:02Honestly, it's a weird mix.
55:04Relief, sure.
55:05But also a little bit of grief.
55:09Look.
55:09Who said that our best years are behind us?
55:12Look at this.
55:15Joven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
55:21Victoria, this is you.
55:22You did this.
55:25Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
55:30Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
55:35Careful, Vincent.
55:37I almost forgot the best part.
55:50Victoria Winter.
55:54Will you marry me?
56:00Yes!
56:01A thousand times yes!
56:03Woooooo!
56:05Yeah!
56:08Woooo!
56:16Woooo!
56:18Woooo!
56:23Happy birthday, Amber!
56:41You came.
56:42I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:45I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:49When word got out, you left.
56:51Clients bailed.
56:53The board freaked.
56:55Numbers tanked.
56:56I couldn't stop it.
56:59You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
57:05I know.
57:07I know.
57:10My father...
57:11The stress gave him a heart attack.
57:14He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:16I destroyed everything.
57:19I thought slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:25I didn't mean for it to end like this.
57:29Maison Laveau isn't dead.
57:31I bought it.
57:32Last week.
57:34The brand.
57:36The archives.
57:37The archives.
57:37Even the dead.
57:39It's part of Javan now.
57:41You've won it.
57:42Why would you do that?
57:44To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:51You win, Victoria.
57:54I hope you do better than I did.
57:56I'll do it differently.
58:00Goodbye, Holly.
58:18Miss Wintour, I just...
58:21I wanted to thank you.
58:22Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
58:28I can keep working and have my baby.
58:33You changed everything.
58:36Congratulations.
58:38Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
58:40I think I did it.
58:50Ready?
58:54Always.
59:05And now, Jovan's new collection, designed by Victoria Wintour and Mertul.
