06:18Michael? Michael?
06:23You smell like coconut oil.
06:31I love coconuts.
06:41Are... are my pants mad at me?
06:45Oh, oh, oh, stop!
06:53Why?
07:01What the hell did you do?
07:03You're being dramatic. I didn't do anything.
07:19You saw it?
07:20He spiked the drink.
07:24So, did you come back to save me?
07:27What the hell did you do?
07:37Morning, Mr. Ethan White.
07:41Liam?
07:44Surprised? Your next cover is me.
07:51I've wanted this longer than I'd ever dare admit.
07:57But what I really wanted was for you to finally see me.
08:06Let's... get started.
08:17Oh, Ethan.
08:25That's it. Perfect.
08:30You won't believe this. Brody. The Brody. He just said yes to our next cover.
08:35But... what about Liam?
08:37Come on! It's Brody! You're about to shoot a global icon.
08:43But...
08:51Join us for dinner? My treat.
08:54Thanks, but... I've got plans.
09:09Well, well, well. Weren't this cover supposed to be you?
09:14What happened? Did Brody steal your spotlight?
09:17Guess playing Ethan's little lapdog didn't pay off.
09:20Huh.
09:25Pathetic.
09:34Ryan's running his mouth on livestream again.
09:39You guys still think Ethan's straight? Please.
09:41He's just deep in the closet. He's bent like a spiral by now.
09:56We need to talk.
09:58What's going on, Alex?
10:01You guys still think Ethan's straight? Please. He's just deep in the closet.
10:05Is it true Brody wants you as his sugar baby?
10:08Those are just rumors.
10:10Investors don't care if they're rumors.
10:12And it's bleeding into your father's business.
10:17Your dad wants you home for dinner. He's getting remarried.
10:22Wants everyone there.
10:23My father's getting remarried?
10:25Okay. I'll be there.
10:28Liam! Think this through and calm down.
10:31You want to be righteous or employed.
10:33If I stay quiet, guys like him keep getting away with it.
10:40You need to see this.
10:43Ryan, I don't care if you talk shit about me.
10:46But you shouldn't do this to Ethan.
10:55Ethan?
10:56You were too impulsive. It may hurt your career.
11:00I know. But he shouldn't have come after you.
11:03You.
11:08So, everyone's seen that clip of Model Ryan at the V Magazine Gala, right?
11:12Caught sneaking around?
11:14Filming people like a creep?
11:16Guess you really can't judge a book by its cover.
11:18Didn't think he turned out to be that sleazy.
11:21Anyway, let's take a look at the video.
11:34Let's take a look at the video.
11:51Shit.
11:56You're dropping me over gossip?
12:00It's not gossip anymore.
12:02Our advertisers want clean air.
12:12You're joking. He's getting the supplement cover?
12:18What can I say?
12:20Timing.
12:26Doors that way. Try not to chip the paint.
12:34So, where do we begin?
12:50Ethan, you have an insane eye. Working with you, it changed something for me. You pull the best out of
12:57people.
12:59Thanks. And you? You made the work easy.
13:03I wasn't just talking about work.
13:04Liam.
13:05You make me feel seen.
13:07Like, really seen.
13:12I need some air.
13:24Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to push. I just couldn't hold it in anymore.
13:32I know what it's like to want something so much, it scares you.
13:46Sorry, I shouldn't.
14:06Jesus, Mia. Time zones?
14:09Ever heard of them?
14:10Boring.
14:11So, what's the verdict? Dad's fiancé? Monster or mildly insufferable?
14:16She's actually great.
14:19She paints. She listens. Honestly, probably too good for him.
14:24Speaking of your love life.
14:26Spill. Any mysterious figures I should vet?
14:30It's... complicated.
14:32Ooh, that's a yes.
14:34Tell me, hot? Rich? Emotionally unavailable?
14:37Royal blood?
14:40Bye, Mia.
14:43Big tickets, for real soon.
14:46Bye

19:20Heard you were looking for someone who kisses pretty well.
19:30Ethan, thank god.
19:33I'm sorry, I shouldn't have vanished like that.
19:38It just...
19:43Everything...
19:44got messy.
19:46I needed space to think.
19:50And?
19:51Feel any clearer?
19:55A little, Liam.
19:57I never meant to hurt you.
19:58But with this family thing...
20:00I've been trying to be rational.
20:03Maybe we should...
20:04Go back to pretending we're just co-workers?
20:06Or...
20:07Play stepbrothers now.
20:09We're not just some label.
20:11Friend.
20:11Friend.
20:12Partner.
20:13Brother.
20:15Call or whatever.
20:16It still feels like us.
20:20I have no clue where this is going.
20:24But I know one thing...
20:27I don't want to not be around you.
20:38Hmm.
20:42Too bad.
20:43You're stuck with me.
20:44Family, right?
20:46We'll figure it out.
20:47One awkward step at a time.
20:58Michael Green.
20:59You're in luck.
21:01Brody's taking a liking to your golden boy.
21:04Brody.
21:05Hunter.
21:08This Wednesday, 8pm, at Brody's office.
21:11Good luck.
21:12Oh my god!
21:14Brody!
21:15What should I wear?
21:28Mr. Hunter, your guest is here.
21:31Send him in.
21:33Welcome, Michael.
21:35Uh...
21:36Nice outfit.
21:37Evening, Mr. Hunter.
21:39Let's keep this simple.
21:41I've been watching Liam Carter's Rise.
21:43He's electric.
21:44I want him to be in my music video.
21:46That's great to hear.
21:47He's earned it.
21:49No one works harder.
21:50Good.
21:51Now, tell me everything about him.
22:02Michael!
22:03What the hell?
22:04I thought we were at the downtown studio.
22:06Sorry, I sent the wrong info.
22:07I stayed up too late last night.
22:09Shoot started an hour ago.
22:11What's the damage?
22:13They pulled your solo.
22:14Ryan stepped in.
22:16But they'll still use you in the group layout.
22:20Seriously?
22:21Him?
22:30Seriously?
22:31Him?
22:48Nice!
22:48Liam, that energy, lock it in.
22:51Who's that one?
22:52Back row, left.
22:53Liam Carter was supposed to lead today.
22:56But he's late, so we have to choose Ryan.
23:00Hmm.
23:01Wrong choice.
23:04Running fashionably late.
23:05Or just late late.
23:07Haha, look who made it.
23:09Pretty boys are like abs.
23:10Always a new one coming.
23:12You?
23:13You're already glitching.
23:14Then lucky for you, the queue's for pretty boys only.
23:18Might be your last shot.
23:20Oh, please.
23:22At least I didn't sleep my way to a maybe.
23:25No wonder they dropped you.
23:33Liam, great!
23:34You're here!
23:34Come meet someone important.
23:37This is Ms. Grace Blake from Valori's PR Team.
23:42Ms. Blake, pleasure to meet you.
23:45Likewise.
23:46You handled today well, considering the circumstances.
23:52Ms. Blake, I didn't realize you were on site about earlier.
23:56I truly didn't mean...
23:59Just make sure you return the watch to wardrobe.
24:02It's borrowed and not cheap.
24:04Right.
24:06Of course.
24:08I'm sorry.
24:13We value grace under pressure.
24:16I saw that in you today.
24:24You didn't tell me you could cook.
24:26Should I be impressed?
24:28Or concerned?
24:31I contain multitudes.
24:46I don't cook.
24:47I don't cook.
24:47But I'm an excellent assistant.
24:49Give me something to do?
24:51You're making it very hard to focus right now.
25:02I'm so happy you two became good friends so fast.
25:06I love you both.
25:09Love you too, Mum.
25:11Just don't burn down my kitchen.
25:22You are terrible at playing it cool.
25:25Shut up.
25:37Thanks for the ride.
25:38I should...
25:39I should...
25:39Go.
25:41Okay.
25:43You could at least pretend to be bummed.
25:45But I'm not.
25:49You keep looking at me like that, and I'm never getting out of this car.
26:00You keep looking at me like that, and I'm never getting out of this car.
26:04I'm never getting out of this car.
26:28Seriously?
26:30Michael, now?
26:31Really?
26:41We're thrilled to have Valerie on board.
26:44We've put together a proposal we really believe in.
26:47And we're equally excited to have Liam joining us for this feature.
26:52Thank you, Harper.
26:54This is exactly the kind of visibility we're looking for.
26:58And this is our creative director.
27:01She will oversee design coordination and campaign tone.
27:09As for the shoot, any preferred photographers?
27:12We're open to suggestions.
27:16As for the shoot, any preferred photographers?
27:19We're open to suggestions.
27:21If we're talking about the shoot, I'd love to recommend Ethan White.
27:29He's incredible.
27:30Smart.
27:31Fast.
27:31His work is beautiful.
27:33I think he'd be perfect for this.
27:34That won't be happening.
27:35Wait.
27:36I don't get it.
27:38Ethan's one of the best.
27:41What's the issue?
27:43It's not up for discussion.
27:45Valori has certain standards.
27:47Ethan White doesn't meet them.
27:59Let's move on.
28:04What was that?
28:05Why'd Grace shut Ethan down so hard?
28:07Did something happen?
28:10No one knows for sure.
28:11But the Laurie's avoided Ethan for years.
28:15Some kind of fallout.
28:17No one talks about it.
28:19Trust me.
28:21Don't push it.
28:25What was that?
28:26Why'd Grace shut Ethan down so hard?
28:28Did something happen?
28:30What was that?
28:30No one knows for sure.
28:32No one knows for sure.
28:32But the Laurie's avoided Ethan for years.
28:36Some kind of fallout.
28:38No one talks about it.
28:39Trust me.
28:41Don't push it.
29:01You lost?
29:02Or just dramatically loitering?
29:15You gonna tell me what happened in there?
29:17Or am I supposed to guess?
29:19Nothing major.
29:21Just...
29:22A weird day.
29:27Having a brother like you?
29:30Could be worse.
29:49So...
29:49You gonna tell me what's been going on with you?
29:52You are on someone else's schedule lately.
29:55Not yours.
29:57Ahem.
29:58Alright.
29:58I've been working with Brody.
30:00Kind of...
30:01Accidentally at first.
30:03Heh.
30:03You don't accidentally work with Brody Hunter.
30:06He asked about you.
30:07Wanted to know what you were like off camera.
30:10I gave him some thoughts.
30:12He pulled me in.
30:13Why didn't you just say that?
30:14Because I didn't want it to feel weird.
30:16I wasn't hiding it.
30:18Also...
30:19He's planning something.
30:21For you.
30:22Okay.
30:23Next time tell me earlier.
30:25We're supposed to be friends, remember?
30:28Always.
30:29You'll know everything next time.
30:31Promise.
30:49Can we get a photo?
30:51Only if my very handsome stepbrother joins too.
30:55You two could model together.
30:56Seriously.
31:00We're just here for the cake.
31:08Whoa!
31:11Wow!
31:35Can't take it anymore.
31:37Want to duck out for a bit?
31:42Do you dare leave?
31:45With you here, what's there to fear?
31:51Do you dare leave?
31:54With you here, what's there to fear?
32:17I swear, posing for that many group shots is more exhausting than any campaign shoot I've
32:23done.
32:24But I'm glad you were in the frame with me.
32:30I came prepared.
32:44God, we're so bad at this formal thing.
32:49Today was nice though, seeing them like that, vows and all.
32:54Kinda wild how normal we looked out there, like a real family.
33:07I don't want to just be your brother, Liam.
33:20Had enough of looking?
33:48I don't want to see them.
34:56I know you're in there! Door, now!
34:59Oh my god. Mia?
35:01Who the hell is Mia?
35:04My sister.
35:05She must have come back early.
35:13Oops.
35:22Well, well. My dear little brother. You've been hiding this deep? Sneaking around in my room? You've got some nerve.
35:35Yeah, um...
35:36Awkward. Hi, Mia.
35:40We didn't know this was your room. We were just...
35:43I don't need the details. I can imagine enough.
35:47Mia, please. Don't tell Mom and Dad. It's their big day. Don't ruin it.
35:52Please. We... We aren't ready for them to know yet.
35:58Relax. I'm not that bored.
36:01I wouldn't ruin Mom and Dad's wedding.
36:03But you two, next time you sneak around, remember to lock the door.
36:08And pick an empty room. Stop messing up my bed.
36:15Hurry up and fix yourselves up. The guests are looking for you outside. Don't get caught, my two dear brothers.
36:28Thanks.
36:40Mia?
36:42Helen?
36:43This is my daughter.
36:44Mia. She finally made it.
36:46Mia! I've heard so much about you. It's so lovely to meet you.
36:52All good things, I hope.
37:05Ethan's looking... Distracted tonight. Guess someone's caught his eye.
37:10Really? About time. Who's the lucky girl?
37:13Maybe it's not a girl.
37:20Maybe it's not a girl.
37:22Maybe it's not a girl.
37:23Heard you've been sniffing around my business, Uncle Alex. Looking to cash in?
37:29No thanks. I plan to spend my 60s with a clean record and both kidneys.
37:34Just enjoying the night, Uncle Alex. Nothing more.
37:58Still thinking about what Alex said at the wedding?
38:01Screw him.
38:22Oh, God.
38:29Hey, Emily. Great timing.
38:31Seriously? Making out in your office?
38:37Emily, this... it's not...
38:40Relax. You think I didn't already guess?
38:45Brody's contract is here.
38:48And please...
38:49Lock the door next time.
38:51If you break the camera, you're both paying for it.
38:55Looks like besides keeping secrets, we have something else worth celebrating.
39:03Lock the door first. Then, we celebrate.
39:10Lock the door first. Then, we celebrate.
39:21Lock the door first.
39:25What? Stalking me now?
39:28Just making sure my brother gets home safe.
39:32Didn't know I had such a clingy brother.
39:35You also didn't know your brother had bad intentions.
39:38Huh?
39:44Guess I should be scared, then.
40:33I love you.
40:51You know, even Ethan got turned down by them.
40:55At this point, rejection might actually be a badge of honor.
40:59Forget just modeling.
41:01I've been sitting on something bigger.
41:07Film.
41:08A real shot.
41:10You, on screen.
41:12Film?
41:13You serious?
41:15Never been more.
41:38We're excited to confirm full sponsorship for your world tour costumes, digital, after parties, full spread.
41:49Who's the face?
41:51We pivoted to Ryan.
41:54Liam was the original pick, but the team felt...
41:59It wasn't the right look this season.
42:09Not dropped, just redirected.
42:13A fresher aesthetic.
42:17Now that's funny.
42:18I just confirmed Liam as the lead for my next music video.
42:22Guess I'm not on trend either.
42:36Maybe you should go ahead and drop me too.
42:39Wouldn't want to ruin your fresher aesthetic.
42:51The contract was clear.
42:54If Valori replaced Liam last minute, they owe damages.
42:59That's non-negotiable.
43:10Ethan, what are you?
43:12Valori dropped you?
43:14Things shift fast.
43:15There's something there, right?
43:17It's because of me.
43:21What do you mean?
43:26Grace is my ex-fiancée.
43:31We were engaged.
43:33I messed it up.
43:36That was when I started to truly understand myself.
43:39This time, her replacing you isn't about some style adjustment.
43:43It's targeted at me.
43:45I dragged you into this.
43:53First, this isn't your fault.
43:56Grace is just petty.
43:58Second, don't talk about dragging me down.
44:01Those words don't exist between us.
44:04The fact that you're willing to tell me this is enough.
44:10Besides, Brody already stood up for me.
44:13Grace can't turn the tide.
44:15And hey, I'm not some pushover who just takes things lying down.
44:20This isn't over.
44:21I'm sorry.
44:25Thanks.
44:42Jealous?
44:43Jealous?
44:44It's just work.
44:46No, I am not.
44:49Oh?
44:51Then why haven't you let go of that camera since we started?
44:55Babe, if you're jealous, just say it.
44:58Don't be stubborn.
44:59Don't be stubborn.
45:13Admitting you're jealous now?
45:16I hope you kill it.
45:17I really do.
45:20I know, babe.
45:25Next week.
45:26Yes.
45:27Liam's tight, but I'll move a few things around.
45:30Absolutely.
45:35Nope.
45:36He's booked.
45:36Try me in three weeks.
45:38Maybe.
45:49Yeah, this is Liam's agent.
45:51Who's calling?
45:52Liam Carter's breakout music video is being hailed as provocative, intimate, and one of the year's most daring visual statements.
46:02Son of a bitch!
46:10We did it!
46:12You're everywhere.
46:13The video's blowing up.
46:15It's crazy.
46:16Two months ago, I was just another name on a list.
46:24Ah!
46:25Ah!
46:28Ah!
46:29Ah!
46:30Ah!
46:34For Liam Carter, for Mr. Brody Hunter.
46:48Okay.
46:50What the hell is this?
46:54You've got to be kidding me.
47:01You planning on keeping it?
47:04Hell no.
47:05I don't want to feel like I owe anyone.
47:07Even if it's someone who loves you?
47:10Screw you.
47:12Besides, having you is enough.
47:14Who needs a car?
47:15That's so like you.
47:31Cut!
47:33Cut!
47:43Hey!
47:44That last scene?
47:45You nailed it!
47:46You've got real presence.
47:48Thanks.
47:49That's...
47:49Wow.
47:50Appreciate it.
47:52Jason Keller.
47:54I produce films.
47:56Have you considered doing more than just modeling?
47:59I mean, yeah.
48:01I've been hoping to.
48:05Let's grab dinner.
48:07I'd love to talk projects.
48:09Absolutely.
48:10I'm in.
48:22Babe.
48:24I'll be like...
48:24You will not believe what just happened.
48:26Okay.
48:27Okay.
48:27What happened?
48:28Dinner with Keffer Pictures.
48:30They want me in their next movie.
48:32Me!
48:33Lead role!
48:34That's incredible.
48:38I'm so proud of you.
48:40I couldn't have done it without you.
49:08I couldn't have done it without you.
49:10Struggles and plans, but I thought we'll never go away
49:15I never thought that you would be the one
49:18And with you I found a place to call our own
49:23Oh, it's just amazing when you've been facing me
49:27It's like I've got no idea why you need to try to go
49:32I need to tell you I'm sorry
49:44God, if every day felt like this, I'd never leave
49:49Then don't
49:52What?
49:56Move in with me
49:59What did you say?
50:00I said, for all the days to come
50:03I want to wake up and see you every single day
50:10Yeah, yeah, I'd love that
