26:57C'est un peu comme ça.
27:27Claire, she's such a saint, huh?
27:30The Vestal Virgin.
27:32If she's so special,
27:33then why didn't you knock her up instead?
27:36Oh wait, I know why.
27:38Because Claire didn't like you that much.
27:41And now that she's with a guy that she actually likes,
27:44you can't handle it, can you?
27:49I don't think so.
27:51I'm not some meek bitch that's gonna stand for your shit.
27:54I am the only one that's gonna make sure
27:57that Claire doesn't win Top Model from inside the competition.
28:00Don't get too full of yourself, Ava.
28:02You're not the only one.
28:04Who else do you have in your pocket?
28:06What aren't you telling me?
28:08Stick to your plan to sabotage, Claire.
28:11I'll handle mine.
28:13Fine.
28:14You keep your secrets,
28:16and I'll keep mine.
28:23We need to eat.
28:24It's too dangerous.
28:26The usual spot.
28:28We're in 201.
28:29I'll be there.
28:35Hey, no peeking.
28:37Just like a little kid.
28:39It's a surprise.
28:41Just a few more steps.
28:43Shouldn't you be swamped with work?
28:46Well, it can wait.
28:47You are my priority.
28:49Okay.
28:51Okay.
28:59You need the perfect armor for combat.
29:02That's such a guy thing to say.
29:04It's a modeling competition, not war.
29:06Make no mistake, Claire.
29:08It is war.
29:09And I'll be there for you.
29:12Oh, did I forget to mention Pinnacles,
29:15the network televising the event?
29:17You definitely did not mention that, no.
29:21From my wife, Claire.
29:22A witness of the world.
29:36You should choose your words more carefully.
29:39I don't take well to threats.
29:41Well, you should have thought about that
29:43before you failed so miserably.
29:45Let's not forget.
29:48I own you.
29:50I'll admit, Claire being nominated to top model
29:53does put an unexpected wrinkle in...
30:00Choose your words more carefully.
30:03I don't take well to threats.
30:04Well, you should have thought about that
30:06before you failed so miserably.
30:09Let's not forget, I own you.
30:14I'll admit, Claire being nominated to top model
30:17does put an unexpected wrinkle in...
30:21Wrinkle?
30:22You were supposed to end this modeling nonsense,
30:25not launch her into the stratosphere.
30:27Your granddaughter hasn't won yet.
30:31And, if you play your part,
30:34Claire will walk down that runway
30:37and crash and burn.
30:41Start talking.
30:44Here's what we do.
30:54I cannot wait to knock off that old battle axe.
30:58What would fall in the shower?
31:01A mix of medication...
31:03All right, focus, Dylan.
31:05That will happen after you marry Claire.
31:09Now, I need you to go visit Bruno Lundy.
31:12Make sure he knows he won't be a judge this year.
31:17Convince him it's worth his while.
31:20And that old bat, you think she's up for it?
31:22She'll do it.
31:24Grace Winthrop has controlled that family for 50 years.
31:30No one has even stood up to her.
31:33Except Claire.
31:35She doesn't just want Claire back in the fold.
31:38She wants Claire under her thumb.
31:48Just hold tight, Gavin.
31:49I'll let you not try to speak with Claire.
31:54Morning, puppy.
31:57I need you to sit down.
32:00What's wrong, Christian?
32:01You're scaring me.
32:03The head of production at Hennical
32:05noticed a judge change in the competition.
32:07Really an easy way to say this, Claire.
32:09Your grandmother's going to be one of the judges.
32:12What?
32:13That's not possible.
32:15She would never...
32:16There's been a mistake.
32:18She despises modeling.
32:19She hates that I became one.
32:21Why would she do this?
32:34My own grandmother is going to vote against me.
32:37I can't escape her.
32:39This isn't the first time your grandmother's tried to destroy your career, Claire.
32:45I had investigators looking at Dylan and Miranda.
32:47What do they have to do with this?
32:49Two years ago, Maxwell Holdings was on the verge of bankruptcy
32:53from a series of bad investments and poorly timed expansions.
32:57Muse and all of its subsidiaries were on the chopping block.
33:00Then, they received an influx of cash from a new, silent partner.
33:06Winthrop Limited?
33:07Yes.
33:08In terms of the deal, that Dylan and Miranda were going to do everything with power to derail
33:13the future of a promising young mother.
33:19So, all the rumors that I was on drugs, incompetent, unstable, my own grandmother was behind all of it.
33:27You were more stubborn than they calculated.
33:30You never gave up, Claire.
33:31I saw her manage everyone in my family.
33:35My own parents were like sycophantic puppets in her grasp.
33:39But I never thought she'd go to such lengths to control me.
33:42It's like she doesn't see me as a real person, with needs and fears and dreams.
33:47That's her loss, Claire.
33:50I wonder if marrying Dylan was a part of her plan.
33:54I mean, she's tried to marry me off before.
33:57Then you must meet my granddaughter, Claire.
34:02Yes, she is.
34:08Okay, about that.
34:11About that.
34:13As if I'd marry someone she chose.
34:16Have you found anyone special?
34:18Then you must meet my granddaughter, Claire.
34:24I don't believe that your grandmother would consider Dylan for you.
34:28That has Miranda Maxwell written all over it.
34:31Your grandmother never technically disinherited you.
34:33As her sole surviving heir, Dylan stood to come in a billionth after marrying you.
34:38Yeah, but my grandmother's still alive.
34:41Yes, there is that.
34:46I just want a fair competition.
34:47Where I win or lose on my own merits.
34:51Not because the deck is stacked against me.
34:54Your grandmother's just one judge.
34:56There's three others.
35:04Hey, sexy.
35:21Claire, one more.
35:22One more, one more, one more, one more.
35:24Claire, Claire, right here.
35:24Claire, who is taking home the top model title tonight?
35:27You are Amy Bennett.
35:28Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
35:30Claire, there are ten models in this competition who got here through hard work and talent.
35:34This is a night to celebrate all of us.
35:36A time to honor...
35:43I can't escape her.
35:45This isn't the first time your grandmother's tried to destroy your career.
35:50That's all, folks.
35:51Ms. Vaughn has a big night ahead of her.
35:53Thank you.
35:54Claire, one more.
35:54How do you know Christian Grant?
35:56Thank you.
35:59I think I'm going to be sick.
36:01I didn't expect it to be that hard, seeing her like this.
36:04Hey, hang tight, Claire.
36:05Uh, Gavin, help her.
36:06I'll go get her a wet towel.
36:09Do you want to water or something?
36:10Yes.
36:11Thank you.
36:14Try to relax.
