00:13Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, the system crashed mid-upload. Half the collection is the wrong season.
00:20We're on everything.
00:21No. We're on runways in 48 hours. If productions start with these botched designs, we're all dead. Not just fire,
00:32we're dead. Company collapses, our careers are over. Come out here and talk to us. We have 8 million tied
00:39up in this collection.
00:41I have a fashion editor, Poe, right now. One word for me, your industry toys in.
00:59Enough.
01:01Vic!
01:04Mia, Japanese indigo. Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:18Tell the boss to hold all calls. I need 28 minutes.
01:2228 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2627 now. Tick-tock.
01:48I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:51I swear to God, you're not human. 27 minutes.
01:55Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
02:06Vic, are you okay?
02:10Just Rax and Hicks, nothing to-
02:15Oh my God, your water broke.
02:24Mom, you're seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:29Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:33Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges
02:41since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:46That's my girl.
02:56Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But there's a condition. We need to slash costs immediately.
03:06Layoffs?
03:10That's it without leave.
03:13Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:16Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:22In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:29No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:37Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:43Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:47Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director? Starting today.
03:54Oh my God, is this really happening? She's offering me Victoria's job? I can finally get rid of that bitch
04:01hanging over my head?
04:07But, Victoria- Don't worry about her. I'm not useless. I'm going to smell fire.
04:16You know that collection I just rescued, Em? I hid something in the design. Your initials and now little graces.
04:26Hold them right into the fabric.
04:32And that's going to give him a long runway?
04:36Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial. Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:42Mom, you ain't have to.
04:43You're going to that private school. No discussion. Your sister and I will manage just fine. This job will keep
04:51us afloat.
04:53I love you, Mom.
05:04God save me, Mom.
05:05Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company.
05:07Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:09After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:28Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:39What the hell?
05:41Listen up, everyone.
05:42Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:45Effective immediately.
05:47You can't just do that.
05:49She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:52They're a loss against this.
05:53Vic worked while in labor.
05:56She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:59Maternity leave, medical insurance.
06:01These preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:05Everything okay here?
06:09Great timing.
06:11Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:14Clear out your desk now.
06:24You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:27I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:31Too many times.
06:35Well, that's ancient history.
06:38The board wants fresh blood.
06:40And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:47What?
06:47I'm the one who...
06:52Mia, you...
06:54Feel that curve?
06:56That's your signature.
06:58That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:04How could you?
07:05I taught you everything you know.
07:14I wish things were different, Vic.
07:19I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:27What happens to my team?
07:30Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:35Things got so bad she had to get hair, implants.
07:40Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:44These jobs are their lifelines, health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:49You can't just throw them away.
07:52Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:55No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
08:01Or, we can shift the math.
08:04You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:09Think of it as...
08:11Is...
08:11Taking one for the team.
08:15Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:17And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:21They can't lose their jobs.
08:26Come on, Vic.
08:28You say you care about them.
08:29Prove it.
08:36Come on, Vic.
09:055 grand.
09:07That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:10That's what I'm worth to them.
09:13Miiing!
09:15Miiing!
09:23Be careful.
09:26I got you.
09:32Vincent?
09:34Vincent Chevalier?
09:36Hi.
09:39High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:52So, it's true.
09:56Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Misan Laveau's Milan collection.
10:05How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:11Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:16What are you getting at, exactly?
10:20I'm not talking about you and me.
10:23Partners.
10:25Your genius, my money.
10:29No corporate BS.
10:31No one holding you back.
10:37I've got a baby to think about now.
10:40And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:46Just saying.
10:51Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:52Oh, you didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
10:58Got your spine here?
11:02Don't mind me.
11:03I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing.
11:07Triple her salary, corner office.
11:11You know, before the vultures at LB or Chanel swoop in.
11:14Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:17Rescuing a washed-up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:21Wow, that's an interesting take to have, considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:27I mean, the jacket, it's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:32The earrings, it's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:35If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:42Shit, shit, shit.
11:44What are you talking about?
11:45Victoria designed all of this.
11:53Actually, those were my designs.
11:59What did you just say?
12:00The spring collection.
12:02The Cartier pieces.
12:04I designed them.
12:06Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:09Oops.
12:10Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:13I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:17Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:27So what?
12:29Sketches get passed around all the time.
12:30It doesn't prove squat.
12:32Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:35Guest designer?
12:37And the logo?
12:40The EW woven in Victoria's signature mark.
12:44It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:48Well, Mia, explain it.
12:49Make me shut up.
12:54It's funny.
12:55All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their life.
13:00They all have EW and GW so many, too.
13:04Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:07Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:10It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:15Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:18Well, Mia, tell them.
13:21Tell them you designed this.
13:23Tell them you saved Milan.
13:25The logo, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:32You lying little bitch!
13:35That promotion was for saving the company.
13:41Look at the logo again.
13:43It's not EW or GW.
13:47It's actually two M's.
13:50M-M for McMichael, my last name.
13:56See?
13:57One M flipped, one upright.
14:00It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:03It's mine.
14:06That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:09Oh my god, she's right.
14:10It does look more like two M's.
14:14You manipulated bitch.
14:16You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:20You learned well, Mia.
14:23Maybe too well.
14:24You'll regret this.
14:28Mark, it's okay.
14:29We don't have to sink to that level.
14:32Okay.
14:33Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:35And my Ferrari's outside.
14:37And I got this.
14:38You shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
14:45Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:48Just take care of my daughter and Paulie, Mia.
14:54That's right.
14:55Get the hell out of my company.
14:56Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
15:00Okay.
15:05Oh, I'm Victoria.
15:09VIP invitation.
15:10Paris Fashion Week.
15:12Front row.
15:13I think you'll find it.
15:15Enlightening.
15:23Every pregnant woman fired.
15:26All of us.
15:28Just like that.
15:30No severance.
15:31No warning.
15:32Nothing.
15:32But a box and a security escort.
15:40Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:44Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign and bonus my writing star.
15:50Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
15:52Their designs are eagerly awaited.
15:57You should have kept your legs closed.
16:08Oh, my God, Mom.
16:10This is insane.
16:11I can't believe we're actually here.
16:13Victoria Wintour.
16:14The Nuclear Vic.
16:16Your mom's basically a legend.
16:17You know that, right?
16:20We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
16:24Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:29Wait.
16:30Maison Léveau?
16:32Well, well.
16:33The Queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
16:36Brave of you to show up here.
16:38What's next?
16:39Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:43Leaving so soon.
16:45You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:48Has Mommy dearest filled you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:56Mom, is that true?
17:01Don't worry.
17:02She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:06Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour.
17:08Still pretending she matters.
17:14My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:18If Maison Léveau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and
17:24burn.
17:25Well, look at that.
17:26It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:28Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:32That's got a sting, huh?
17:34Exposes unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero.
17:39But hey, good news.
17:40There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:45If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:49That's enough.
17:53That's enough.
17:55You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:57You never belonged in this world.
18:00Look at her.
18:01A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:05That dress.
18:07It's a cheap knockoff.
18:11Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:14It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:21What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:24Remove that dress.
18:26We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:30Hey, stop it.
18:31Let go of my mom.
18:33Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:37Take your hands off her now.
18:47You're dismissed.
18:57You're right.
19:01You're right.
19:03I'm fine.
19:03Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:05Hey, the reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:09What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:13That knockoff that you're so eager to trash her for?
19:18It's Chauvin.
19:21Haute couture.
19:22Winter collection.
19:23Not even released yet.
19:26Price tag?
19:28$300,000.
19:29$300,000.
19:29Wow!
19:31You gave her that.
19:32That's right.
19:33You did.
19:36I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:40Oh my God, everyone mystery solved.
19:42Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:46Mr. Billionaire is not a white knight.
19:48He's your walking trust fund.
19:52Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:54It's just so predictably desperate.
20:01You really don't understand real talent, do you?
20:06For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier, CEO of Jeuven.
20:14And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:20I've followed your career from a distance for years.
20:23Your brilliance, your principles, your passion.
20:30Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:33Mom, did you know about this?
20:36Now, I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:39But in the meantime, what I will do
20:42is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:47She won't let you down, boss.
20:51You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:54She's nothing but a has-been.
20:57The show is about to start.
20:59Your seats are waiting.
21:06Holy shit.
21:07The industry Golden Boy and the Creative Powerhouse together?
21:10Talk about a power couple.
21:12They could run the entire industry.
21:15This isn't over, bitch.
21:17Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:29So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:36Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:41Some people too.
21:46Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:52This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:55She's been stealing designs for my creative director for years.
22:00It's true.
22:01She took my work and passed it off as her own.
22:04I slaved away on those designs, day and night.
22:10And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:17That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:20Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:24That's enough, Holly.
22:27Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:31Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:35Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:40That's her real design strategy.
22:42Stop it, Holly.
22:43You're embarrassing yourself.
22:44And those kids she's so proud of?
22:47Who knows who their real fathers are.
22:50How dare you!
22:54Miss Jenkins, Missing Michaels, it's a disaster in there.
22:58There's something wrong with the collection.
23:00It's the fabric.
23:01Not now.
23:07The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:11The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:14We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:17Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Moval?
23:19Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
23:22This is completely unprofessional.
23:24I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:28This is breach of contract.
23:32It's actually fixable.
23:35Well, you can't seriously be thinking about helping you back-stabbing vultures.
23:41Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:44Maison Moval appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:47Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
23:51The question on everyone's mind, is this the end for the once-prestigious fashion house?
24:00This show doesn't happen.
24:02You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
24:05We're talking billions, Holly.
24:07Billions.
24:31What's this?
24:32Now.
24:35How?
24:35The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:39I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:42You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:46If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:50That's billions of dollars.
24:53Then you better figure something out.
24:55Because if you don't, not only are you fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
25:10Miss Winter, how do you respond to the accusations over design theft?
25:16Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:19Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:23And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:27We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:52What do you want, Mia?
25:58Vic, I really need your help.
26:01Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
26:06Look, I know you're furious.
26:08I would be too.
26:09But think about Miranda and Philippe for a second.
26:12What about them?
26:14Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:16If we tank, they're done.
26:18Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:22Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out with you.
26:27Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:30Yes, absolutely.
26:31And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:34Please, Vic, not for me.
26:36For them.
26:38For it's weird.
26:39I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.
26:43What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:48They, they couldn't make it.
26:51Holly cut the travel budget.
26:54Is that right?
26:56Toria, I know I don't deserve your help.
27:01They do.
27:03Fine.
27:05I'll help.
27:06But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
27:09Not for you.
27:11Okay.
27:21Oh, my God.
27:22It's Victoria Winter.
27:24The nuclear beck.
27:26I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric now.
27:35I need royal fuchsia for the stitching.
27:38Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:40Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:46Would this work?
27:53Vincent, how did you...
27:56I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
28:04This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors.
28:09Why would you help them?
28:12I'm not helping them.
28:15I'm helping you.
28:17I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:20I have a design I've been saving.
28:23Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:25It's yours now.
28:28I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:31Then what do you want?
28:34You.
28:37What?
28:41You're a talent.
28:43You're a vision.
28:45Come and work as Joven.
28:47I'm in.
28:49I'll work for you.
28:51Just like that?
28:52Just like that.
28:53Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
29:01I hate it when I'm gone.
29:05I wish I was cool.
29:07Like the new girl at school.
29:09I regret it.
29:11So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get it.
29:14I won't get back.
29:16Don't ever change.
29:20I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:24She's doing it in minutes.
29:26What would have taken us hours.
29:28Whoa.
29:29No wonder they call her the nuclear Vick.
29:32It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:36The woman I replace making me look like an amateur.
29:44Five minutes till showtime.
29:46We made it.
29:51Woo!
29:59Well, do we pull the plug or not?
30:02We're good.
30:03Everything's back on track.
30:05See?
30:06I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
30:09You've got twice her talent.
30:11Yeah.
30:12Right.
30:13This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:16You fixed us, it's not make them.
30:25To Victoria.
30:27The real hero of the night.
30:39Mom, you're insane.
30:41I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:45Couldn't have done it without you.
30:48You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
30:58Well, well, still hanging around.
31:01I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
31:05Fraud.
31:06Holly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:10What are you talking about?
31:12Just ask the models.
31:14Any of them.
31:16Oh, and Mia.
31:18Don't forget about our agreement.
31:20About Miranda and Pauline.
31:22I won't.
31:28Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:37Speaking of new beginnings.
31:39Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:44I want to help.
31:45With her education.
31:47What?
31:49Vincent, that's too much.
31:50We barely know each other.
31:53Victoria.
31:54I've known you since we were 17.
31:58I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress, the one you made from scratch.
32:07I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:13Do you remember that?
32:15Do you remember that?
32:16I remember everything.
32:19I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:26Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:29You were married.
32:31And then you were.
32:33And then you were building your career.
32:35And the timing just was never right.
32:40Until now.
32:50I've been waiting 20 years to do this.
33:06I should probably get this.
33:18Mia.
33:22God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:25That Milan disaster you turned around, absolute magic.
33:29And now I have an opportunity that can put you on the map for good.
33:33Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:39Sean Gosling, the Sean Gosling, the very one, three-time Oscar winner, people's sexiest man alive, and if you play
33:47our cards right, the next face of the maze only goes anywhere.
33:51They're taking pitches now.
33:54If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:57For you, for the brand.
33:59Where it is, Joven's in the running too.
34:02Land this, Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:09Sealed the deal?
34:11I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:13I've got this, Holly.
34:15You won't regret it.
34:23God, what am I gonna do?
34:24I can't design menswear.
34:27I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:30Miranda and Paulina are gone too.
34:32I'm completely on my own.
34:34If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria, maybe I can squeeze one
34:44more miracle over it.
35:07Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.
35:10You mentioned Miranda and Pauline. Cut to the chase.
35:17We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks. Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
35:21Miranda's excellent with menswear. She can handle this without me.
35:24Please, wait. There's more to it.
35:26After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:30Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:32I've been fighting for them.
35:34Are you serious? Pauline's due any day now.
35:38Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot.
35:41If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:44Have you worked with Sean before?
35:46No, but I've heard you have.
35:49Ages ago. I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
35:53Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison Valor.
35:58Really? What concept?
36:05Well...
36:18Perfect. She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:22I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:26Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:30I do. Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
36:36Wait.
36:38Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:40How exactly is she part of this project?
36:43Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have,
36:47Holly's letting her work from home.
36:48Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:52Of course, Vic.
36:54Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
37:00You need to think about it.
37:02Take all the time you need.
37:04Mia.
37:05Don't make me regret trusting you.
37:08Again.
37:26Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:29Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:33The Sean Gosselin one with the black hat and lapels?
37:36That's the one.
37:37Can you check my home office?
37:38It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:43Got it.
37:44Grace is napping.
37:45The perfect timing.
37:46Thanks, sweetie.
37:47I just need to double check something about the...
37:53Shoulder.
37:55Mom, are you okay?
38:02Miranda?
38:04Vic?
38:09Mom! Mom! What's going on?
38:12Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:16Miranda, what happened?
38:17Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:20Bills don't feed themselves.
38:22You've made my husband an old child with no paycheck,
38:25and now there's a newborn at home.
38:28Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
38:32What?
38:34Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:38After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:42No severance, no cover, nothing.
38:45Just gone.
38:46That's completely illegal.
38:49Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
38:54All at once.
38:56What are the odds, right?
38:58And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours down here.
39:02Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:10And Mia knew about all this.
39:13Mia.
39:15Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
39:18Didn't even blink.
39:20Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
39:24She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
39:28Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:30What?
39:32That bitch!
39:36This ends now.
39:43Damn it!
39:48Miss Michael.
39:50He's just arrived from Milan.
39:52We need approval by noon.
39:54Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:09What are y'all looking at? Get back to work!
40:12Victoria would never treat us like this.
40:16I heard that.
40:17You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:20Then where is she now?
40:22Gone.
40:23Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:27Well, at least you can actually design that.
40:34What the hell is going on here?
40:37Just a great disagreement. Everything's under control.
40:41The Gosling page. Tell me you have something presentable.
40:47Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:49Show me.
40:51It's not quite ready.
40:53Now.
40:58This is garbage.
41:01Absolute garbage!
41:03I just need a little more time.
41:05We don't have more time. This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:07If Shufin gets this deal instead of us.
41:14What's that?
41:20It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:25I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil,
41:28get me a winning designer tomorrow morning,
41:30or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:56I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
42:04Right on cue.
42:08Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:11Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:14The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:19She'll get her a sketch.
42:21And that's when we spin the trap.
42:35You're early.
42:36Vic.
42:37I really need that sketch.
42:47I said I'd help.
42:48Not hand over my design.
42:50Holly's all over me about this.
42:53If I don't have something tonight,
42:54Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:58Still lying, Mia.
43:00You never learn.
43:01Guess it's payback time.
43:03So, do you want my help or not?
43:06I can walk you through it.
43:07Your design could be just as good.
43:09She's such a snake.
43:13Vic, my stomach is killing me.
43:15Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:18Fine.
43:20But don't touch anything.
43:47I'm sorry, though.
43:48Survival of the fittest.

51:09emergency room victoria please tell these amateurs why you pulled your last design

55:37Victoria Winter.
55:42Will you marry me?
55:47Yes. A thousand times yes.
55:51Woo!
55:54Woo!
56:10Best birthday ever!
56:28You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:32I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:36When word got out you left. Clients bailed. The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.
56:45You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
56:52I know. I know.
56:56My father. The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:03I destroyed everything.
57:06My thought slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:12I didn't mean for it to end like this.
57:16Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it.
57:19Last week. The brand. The archives. Even the debt. It's part of Given now.
57:28You bought it. Why would you do that?
57:30To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:38You win, Victoria.
57:40I hope you do better than I did.
57:44I'll do it differently.
57:47Goodbye, Holly.
58:04Miss Wintour, I just... I wanted to thank you.
58:10Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
58:15I can keep working and have my baby.
58:19You changed everything.
58:23Congratulations.
58:25Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
58:36Ready?
58:40Always.
58:52And now, Jovan's new collection designed by Victoria Wintour and your team.
58:58See you next week.
