00:00:13Hey.
00:00:15Ah, Nicky, my boy.
00:00:18Mr. Richardson.
00:00:20Call me Dad.
00:00:22Ah, Dad.
00:00:23You know, I can't tell you how happy I am
00:00:26that you decided to go through with this sight unseen,
00:00:29but I promise you, you won't regret it.
00:00:31My daughter is a brilliant woman.
00:00:33She's got an even better head for business than I do.
00:00:36I don't even know how that's even possible.
00:00:38No, no, it's true.
00:00:40And after this wedding, when our businesses merge,
00:00:43the sky will be the limit.
00:00:45Right, and I just want to thank you for your trust
00:00:48and for the match, Dad.
00:00:50Even though I would have loved to have met your daughter
00:00:52before the wedding day, I hear she's beautiful.
00:00:55I hear she's amazing, and I'm really looking forward to it.
00:00:57She is.
00:00:58And I'll just tell you this.
00:01:01She's my favorite daughter.
00:01:04Oh, really?
00:01:05You're a very lucky man.
00:01:06Thank you, sir.
00:01:08All right.
00:01:08Take care, buddy.
00:01:10My God.
00:01:11He's so handsome.
00:01:12I can't believe I'm marrying him today.
00:01:16Congratulations, Nick.
00:01:18Marrying Jack Richardson's daughter,
00:01:19that's like winning the lottery.
00:01:21Wow, yeah.
00:01:21I think the same.
00:01:22Trust me.
00:01:23The moment you see her in the dress, you'll faint.
00:01:24Wow.
00:01:25Okay.
00:01:26Thank you, fellas.
00:01:27I'll see you out there.
00:01:28I really hope he likes what he sees.
00:01:30He's so beautiful and handsome, and I...
00:01:47Please, I'll rise for the bride.
00:02:16That's who I'm marrying you?
00:02:18Oh, my God.
00:02:20Is that the bride?
00:02:22I was sure he was marrying the pretty sister.
00:02:24Why didn't he choose her?
00:02:26She's clearly the hotter sister.
00:02:32Our eyes are so beautiful.
00:02:44Oh, my God.
00:02:47Oh, no.
00:02:48A comet hit Earth.

00:10:14nick it's our wedding night
00:10:20Don't you wanna...
00:10:23What kind of man falls asleep on his wedding night?
00:10:28A man who's unattracted to his wife, that's who.
00:10:32Oh, no.
00:10:41I can't, Claudia. Not yet. I'm sorry.
00:10:52Oh, where are you going?
00:10:54I actually have a big business brunch with some potential investors.
00:10:58Oh, I see. Um, I'll be ready to go and just...
00:11:01So, uh, no, I, uh...
00:11:05So these investors, they don't particularly know that our companies are merging,
00:11:10so I think this one might be better if I just take it alone.
00:11:13My father left the business for me to manage, and we're going to do that together.
00:11:19So we should show that we can do that.
00:11:22That we are a strong couple, and business, and love.
00:11:26Mm-hmm. Strong couple.
00:11:29Nah.
00:11:32Right.
00:11:43Look, just please be polite, and let me do all the talking.
00:11:47We have a lot of investments to secure.
00:11:49And do not dump any champagne onto somebody's head.
00:11:52If it's one time.
00:12:01Here he is, boys.
00:12:04Hello, hello, everyone.
00:12:06I apologize profusely for my tardiness.
00:12:09But it looks like you guys got started, ordered some food.
00:12:11That's great.
00:12:13Dave, I heard you had an amazing Q1.
00:12:15I'd love to enter into the sector that you guys were talking about.
00:12:18Hi.
00:12:19I'm Claudia, Nick's wife and partner in managing the business.
00:12:25Oh, yeah.
00:12:26Claudia, I've heard a lot about you.
00:12:28You're a pretty big deal.
00:12:31You're the heiress that forced Nick kicking and screaming to marry for the merger.
00:12:35Deborah.
00:12:39No, no, just wait a minute, Dave.
00:12:41I don't really care how much money you have.
00:12:44I don't need you to disrespect my wife like that, and I demand you to give her an apology.
00:12:52Yeah?
00:12:53Or else what?
00:12:54Come on, Sterling, you're just a pretender.
00:12:56Without the merger with you and this whale's family, you wouldn't even be invited to this table.
00:13:01So why don't you just sit back and learn from the big boys?
00:13:04Hmm.
00:13:05Pretender, huh?
00:13:07That's rich.
00:13:08Coming from someone wearing a dollar store toupee.
00:13:13I know who you are, Dave.
00:13:15And I know your company's financial situation.
00:13:20What I don't know is what you're doing at this table considering you don't have a dollar left to invest.
00:13:32You had to take out a loan last month for payroll.
00:13:39I'd stay quiet.
00:13:46Taking this.
00:13:53It's for the best that he left anyway.
00:13:57He'd skipped out on the bill.
00:13:58I don't know.
00:14:00Claudia, we talked about keeping a low profile and you're making us a little bit.
00:14:14No.
00:14:30Why is she acting like this?
00:14:32She could block me!
00:14:33this whole deal. Claudia.
00:14:38All right, gentlemen and ladies, now that we're all here, except for Dave, of course,
00:14:45I want to speak about the state of the economy right now. We know it's in a depression,
00:14:49and that's why I think foreign assets is the thing we need to invest in.
00:14:54Before we go on a tangent about foreign companies,
00:14:59we shouldn't write off local businesses so quickly. My company and Nick's are about to go
00:15:05through a massive merger, and when that happens, our stock prices are about to go through the roof.
00:15:12The time to invest is now, before it's too late.
00:15:18I never got pitched by a talking cake before.
00:15:22Oh, if anything is going to explode, it's her.
00:15:31Claudia, sit down and stop talking.
00:15:33And then yourself up, for God's sakes.
00:15:53Good thing she left. I'm not interested in investing in a company
00:15:57run by someone like that.
00:15:59Then don't invest.
00:16:01In fact, none of you should invest, because I don't want to affiliate with any of you small mining fools.
00:16:17Roy, it's me.
00:16:19Can you come pick me up, please?
00:16:21Oh my God, honey.
00:16:23Yes, stay calm. I'll be right there.
00:16:32Claudia.
00:16:35What do you want?
00:16:36I just want to talk to you really quick.
00:16:38About what?
00:16:40Just calm down.
00:16:41I will not calm down, and there is nothing to talk about.
00:16:47You're ashamed of me.
00:16:49You're embarrassed by me.
00:16:52And you'd have already given up on this whole marriage if it wasn't for your precious merger, right?
00:16:58Right?
00:16:59Yes, yes, okay. You embarrass me, all right? You can't just stand up in front of a bunch of business
00:17:05sharks with lemon meringue pie smeared all over your face. Who's going to listen to you? Who's going
00:17:09to take you seriously when you look like a fucking...
00:17:13Like a what, Nick?
00:17:17Like a what, Nick?
00:17:26Nick.
00:17:33Like a fat woman, Nick.
00:17:36Is that all you see in me?
00:17:41You know, you wouldn't be the first.
00:17:44That's what anybody sees when they look at me.
00:17:49But you want to know what really breaks my heart?
00:17:53Is that you will never get a chance to realize that I am so much more than that.
00:18:07Goodbye, Nick.
00:18:08Goodbye? What?
00:18:10Hey, Claudia, just...
00:18:13Claudia, please!
00:18:16Claudia, wait! Please just give me one second!
00:18:19Claudia, please!
00:18:24Claudia, wait! What are you doing?
00:18:30You're really just going to leave?
00:18:38Oh my god, girl. What happened to you?
00:18:41Nick really didn't want me.
00:18:45He thought he was marrying the thin and beautiful of Richardson Dodden.
00:18:52Not the fat and disgusting one.
00:18:55Not me.
00:18:57You just knock it right off with that nonsense.
00:19:01No, Roy! No, I can't!
00:19:04He doesn't want me!
00:19:07I don't know what to do now.
00:19:11You don't need to do anything.
00:19:13You are perfect and a beautiful queen, okay?
00:19:18And if stupid Nick doesn't recognize that, it's his problem.
00:19:25You hear me?
00:19:29Earth to Claudia.
00:19:31I refuse to feel like this anymore.
00:19:35There we go.
00:19:36Yes!
00:19:38You just need to be yourself, okay?
00:19:41So you got some extra weight. Time to throw it around.
00:19:44That's not what I mean.
00:19:47For years, I have barely left the house.
00:19:51The looks, the put downs.
00:19:54It was all too painful.
00:19:56I had hoped that Nick would see beyond the outside and love me for who I am.
00:20:05But how could he?
00:20:07I'm a whale.
00:20:09Why couldn't I have been born with Joy's perfect genetics?
00:20:13A. Joy's a bitch, so she's far from perfect girl.
00:20:18But B. How can he love you as you are when you don't love you as you are?
00:20:28Hey, do you remember that guy you dated? The one who went to the health center?
00:20:34Of course. He came back a different person, Abs, to die for.
00:20:38I want the address.
00:20:40Of the wellness estate?
00:20:42Yeah.
00:20:43What are you planning?
00:20:46I am so sick of not loving what I see in the mirror.
00:20:50But I am even more sick of what others see.
00:20:55Fat.
00:20:57Nothing else.
00:21:00I refuse to be humiliated anymore.
00:21:04I'm going to take my life into my own hands and make everyone who ever laughed at me regret it.
00:21:13I can do this.
00:21:15And when I get back, Nick will beg to be with me.
00:21:35It's time for a change.
00:21:45Oh, God. I can't do this.
00:21:54Oh, my.
00:21:58Nick, it's our wedding night. Don't you wanna...
00:22:06No.
00:22:07I can do this.
00:22:09From today on, old Claudia is dead.
00:22:23You're strong.
00:22:25You can do this.
00:22:28I fell apart before the start, still she said I'd do.
00:22:33Every look, every word, cut deeper than it hurt.
00:22:36She was drowning in the noise, but silence made it worse.
00:22:41Now she's back like a wildfire, dancing on the same old scars.
00:22:47Whoa, yeah, she burned who she was before.
00:22:52Now I don't know who you are.
00:22:57They choose me.
00:22:59I can do it.
00:23:03She came back different.
00:23:07Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:23:12She came back different.
00:23:22Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:23:26Claudia? Is that you?
00:23:36I need to talk to you about the meeting with Gilder Brothers.
00:23:39Gilder Brothers, that sounds fine.
00:23:43Okay, Nick. Snap out of it.
00:23:46You need to pull yourself together and act like a goddamn CEO.
00:23:50Look, I should have just listened to Claudia.
00:23:53She was right about everything, Joy.
00:23:56Everything that she said, that stupid brunch, it all came true.
00:24:00The trend is to invest into local companies with strong mergers.
00:24:04She saw that months ahead of any of us.
00:24:06And I had to be stupid and drive her away and ruin everything.
00:24:10And she was the best thing that happened to this company.
00:24:13She was.
00:24:38What's done is done.
00:24:41You have a business to run.
00:24:43And I am here as your partner to make sure that that happens.
00:24:47So, man up.
00:24:49And let go of your fat ex could have been wife already.
00:24:51How can you speak about her like that?
00:24:53She's your sister.
00:24:55And how can I function knowing that I drove my wife away
00:24:58and I don't even know where she's been for the last three months?
00:25:01Nick?
00:25:01What?
00:25:02Accept it.
00:25:04There is no more Claudia.
00:25:06She disappeared.
00:25:06Ran away.
00:25:07She is not coming back.
00:25:12I'm here.
00:25:17I'm here.
00:25:24Who is that?
00:25:26Wow.
00:25:37I know those eyes.
00:25:44Um.
00:25:45Okay.
00:25:46You're here.
00:25:47But I don't think you should be.
00:25:49I think you're mistaken about the offices.
00:25:52No.
00:25:53I'm not mistaken.
00:25:56I heard this rumor while I was away that you were trying to destroy the company that our father gave
00:26:02to me.
00:26:02So I'm here to save it.
00:26:07Claudia?
00:26:08Claudia?
00:26:10Oh.
00:26:11Oh, right.
00:26:12This is Claudia.
00:26:13Yeah.
00:26:14Maybe one third of her.
00:26:16I don't know who you are or how you got past security, but this is a board meeting and only
00:26:21authorized officers are allowed to participate.
00:26:24Yes.
00:26:24I know that.
00:26:25Because I'm the legal heir and the majority owner of this company.
00:26:29So I am more than authorized to be here and be present for the board meeting.
00:26:35Legal heir?
00:26:36Oh.
00:26:37Oh, nice try.
00:26:39But this is my family's company.
00:26:42And I think I would know a relative if she were standing right in front of me.
00:26:46Now enough is enough.
00:26:47You should leave before I have security drag you out.
00:26:50What's going on here?
00:26:52Have I really changed so much that even my sister doesn't recognize me?
00:26:56I wonder if Nick recognizes me.
00:27:00Something about her feels familiar.
00:27:02Is it her?
00:27:07Security.
00:27:08Hi.
00:27:09Yes.
00:27:09There's an intruder in the conference room.
00:27:11Can you please come and remove her?
00:27:13No need, Carl.
00:27:15I told you there might be drama.
00:27:17Sorry, Mrs. Richardson.
00:27:19What?
00:27:19Ms. Richardson.
00:27:22See?
00:27:23Security will not be kicking me out of the conference room of the business that my dad built and gave
00:27:29to me.
00:27:31I'm not going anywhere.
00:27:34I am Claudia.
00:27:38Oh, that's it.
00:27:40This woman is a lying imposter.
00:27:42Nick, you're the boss for God's sake.
00:27:44Do something.
00:27:46Okay.
00:27:48If you're my wife, then where's our wedding ring?
00:27:54Wow.
00:27:55They really don't recognize me.
00:27:58Nick, you know that our marriage was over before it even started.
00:28:06Remember?
00:28:07You never once looked at me like I was your wife.
00:28:09So why would I wear your ring?
00:28:14I don't understand.
00:28:15Is this really you, Claudia?
00:28:26Yes, it's really me.
00:28:29She has the ring.
00:28:31Maybe it really is her.
00:28:33You know what?
00:28:35It fits just right now.
00:28:45Claudia, I was looking for you this entire time and I'm so sorry.
00:28:51I was worried about you.
00:28:53I really am so sorry.
00:28:58Nick, don't fall for this scam.
00:29:00Do you not think I wouldn't recognize my own sister?
00:29:04This is not Claudia.
00:29:09This is not Claudia.
00:29:12I mean, we all remember what Claudia looked like.
00:29:15She was huge, fat, a whale.
00:29:19There is no chance that this woman is Claudia.
00:29:23Claudia, I swear that I looked for you everywhere ever since you left.
00:29:27I just...
00:29:30Claudia, wait!
00:29:31You're really just gonna leave?
00:29:34It has been months.
00:29:35How is it even possible that no one's found her?
00:29:38Do your job and find her!
00:29:42It really is you.
00:29:45You are so beautiful.
00:29:47This is all I wanted.
00:29:49For him to look at me like this, finally.
00:29:53But it's too late.
00:29:55I will never forgive him for how he made me feel.
00:29:58Thanks.
00:30:01But I don't need this anymore.
00:30:12Oh, it's clear now.
00:30:15Claudia is so ashamed of her weight that she hired some actress to impersonate her.
00:30:22It's pathetic, but it makes sense.
00:30:25You know what's pathetic, Joy?
00:30:28Is you preferring to believe that your own sister would do something so insane instead of believing that I had
00:30:36the willpower and the drive to make a positive change?
00:30:39Please.
00:30:41The only thing Claudia could ever summon the willpower and drive to do was close down a buffet.
00:30:47She couldn't keep her fat mouth shut.
00:30:50Maybe that's something you two have in common.
00:30:53I'm warning you, Joy.
00:30:56You don't get to shit talk me anymore.
00:30:59The days of you speaking to me like this are over.
00:31:02Maybe this is really Claudia standing in front of me.
00:31:05No way.
00:31:07Nick, throw her out.
00:31:13Claudia, where did you go?
00:31:15Enough with the circuses! Throw the bitch out!
00:31:18Claudia?
00:31:19Is that you?
00:31:22Claudia?
00:31:24Is that you?
00:31:26Claudia.
00:31:27I was worried sick!
00:31:30Finally! Where have you been this whole time?
00:31:32I had to take control of my life, Dad.
00:31:34And I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you.
00:31:37Why are you so thin?
00:31:39What happened?
00:31:40Where are these two sweet roles that I love so much?
00:31:44Only you love them, Dad.
00:31:46Dad, don't embarrass yourself.
00:31:48This is not the real Claudia.
00:31:50This is some imposter actress that she is.
00:31:52Ali!
00:31:54Nonsense.
00:31:55Of course, this is Claudia.
00:31:56You think a father would know his own daughter?
00:31:59And here you are, trying to throw her out of her own office?
00:32:02No, there's...
00:32:03There's no chance that...
00:32:05Shush.
00:32:07Nick?
00:32:08Now you have by your side the most brilliant and smart woman that I have ever known.
00:32:14And I hope you keep to your promise, and you run this company with her.
00:32:21Yes.
00:32:23I promise, now that Claudia is back, that...
00:32:26Together, as partners...
00:32:29We can build this company up to an empire.
00:32:33So, Claudia...
00:32:34What do you say?
00:32:36Partners?
00:32:42Why, whenever he looks at me, does my heart skip a beat?
00:32:46No.
00:32:47No, stop it, Claudia.
00:32:49This is not part of the plan.
00:32:51Get a grip.
00:33:04Ahem.
00:33:08So, are we all now familiar with the hierarchy of this company?
00:33:12Fantastic.
00:33:14Then let's get to work, because we have a lot of work to do.
00:33:18You mentioned something about a board meeting.
00:33:20Yes, I did.
00:33:21If everyone wants to turn to page three in their portfolios, we can get started.
00:33:29It's just like the data indicates.
00:33:31Right now, the market is looking for reliability and stability.
00:33:36So, if we can convince them that our company is the solid rock in the middle of a stormy sea,
00:33:41then we can recruit the correct investors.
00:33:45Let's do it.
00:33:57Hey, great job running the meeting earlier.
00:33:59Your dad was spot on when he said that you were sharp, attentive...
00:34:03I don't have time for flattery. I have to go.
00:34:06Uh, go where, exactly?
00:34:11Well, I am your husband and we do live together, did you forget?
00:34:17Come on, Nick.
00:34:20Did you really think I was gonna live in the same house as you?
00:34:23Well, yes, because we are married. Aren't we?
00:34:26On paper, yes.
00:34:29I am your wife for the good of the company and its success.
00:34:37But we're not a real couple.
00:34:39You only married me for the merger.
00:34:42Let's not rewrite history.
00:34:44No, no, no. Hey, that's not how I saw the marriage.
00:34:46Oh, really?
00:34:48So you don't remember ditching me the night of our wedding or the morning after?
00:34:53You looked like you swallowed poison.
00:34:55Claudia, I...
00:34:56You were ashamed of me.
00:34:58Embarrassed.
00:34:59I remember everything.
00:35:03Okay, yes.
00:35:04Maybe I was, but...
00:35:07I...
00:35:08You ready to go home?
00:35:11Oh, so that's how it is.
00:35:14While I was gone, they became a couple.
00:35:17Just like he wanted.
00:35:18And now he's just trying to play the field.
00:35:22Typical pig.
00:35:29Stop.
00:35:31Hey, don't get worked up over Claudia.
00:35:33I mean, she's just being dramatic.
00:35:35Look, I need you to find your own ride.
00:35:37I need some quiet.
00:35:40Claudia's back.
00:35:41That's not good.
00:35:42I have to act before I completely lose the chance to make Nick mine.
00:36:07Oh my God, bro, you should have seen it.
00:36:08I mean, they didn't even recognize me.
00:36:10I mean, except like my dad, of course.
00:36:13I mean, you do look like a whole new person.
00:36:14You can't blame him.
00:36:16And?
00:36:16How about your hot stud of a husband, huh?
00:36:19What did he think?
00:36:20Nick?
00:36:23Nick looked at me like I always dreamt he would.
00:36:27I mean, he couldn't even take his eyes off me.
00:36:29I bet.
00:36:30Look at you.
00:36:32You know, no one's ever looked at me like...
00:36:37Like a woman?
00:36:39Like an attractive, worthy woman?
00:36:43Hell yeah.
00:36:44Get it.
00:36:45Mm-mm.
00:36:46Mm-mm.
00:36:47Mm-mm.
00:36:47No, no, no, no.
00:36:49We are not getting too excited, okay?
00:36:51Because I know exactly who Nick is.
00:36:54And it's like exactly how I thought it was.
00:36:56He's with Joy now, right?
00:36:58And next time I see him, I'm gonna tell him exactly how much I hate him.
00:37:04Mm.
00:37:05How does that feel?
00:37:06So good.
00:37:11Some guy touching my wife?
00:37:13Has she already found someone else?
00:37:15Wait, that's the guy who picked her up when she left me?
00:37:18Has she been with him this whole time?
00:37:20What are you playing here, Claudia?
00:37:29Is Claudia in there?
00:37:30Um, we'll see.
00:37:32I better not find her naked, buddy.
00:37:33I kinda doubt that.
00:37:35Yeah, really?
00:37:44Claudia!
00:37:45There you are.
00:37:46What is going on here?
00:37:48You...
00:37:49I don't owe you an explanation.
00:37:51And by what right are you following me?
00:37:53By the right that we are married.
00:37:55Okay, you've disappeared for three months.
00:37:57You show up at this man's house.
00:37:58What kind of behavior is that?
00:38:00Is it possible he's actually jealous?
00:38:04Listen, I can explain.
00:38:06And you!
00:38:07How dare you seduce another man's woman!
00:38:09I'm gonna teach you a frickin' lesson!
00:38:11I'm gonna teach you a frickin' lesson!
00:38:17Oh my god, what is wrong with you?
00:38:18Do not hurt Roy!
00:38:19I'm not gonna let my wife's lover just walk out without a fuckin' fire!
00:38:22Enough!
00:38:23Enough!
00:38:29Okay.
00:38:32Roy...
00:38:33is not my lover.
00:38:35Roy...
00:38:36is letting me stay here because he is a very, very good friend.
00:38:39Oh sure!
00:38:41The friend that she tells you not to worry about!
00:38:42Is that it?
00:38:43Oh...
00:38:44You know what?
00:38:45Even if she was my lover,
00:38:47it would be none of your business because we are married on paper and I owe you nothing!
00:38:53How do you expect me to believe that this, this, this handsome man over here is just giving you a
00:38:58massage and he isn't your lover?
00:39:00If you couldn't tell, she's not exactly my type.
00:39:03And as for you, while I'm flattered you think I'm handsome, I'm spoken for.
00:39:09Pablo...
00:39:09Pablo...
00:39:10is the jealous type.
00:39:14Pablo...
00:39:17Jesus, um...
00:39:19Look, I'm...
00:39:19I'm sorry, okay?
00:39:21I...
00:39:21I didn't know.
00:39:24It's okay.
00:39:25But look, look, you have to understand me, okay?
00:39:28Look, she was gone and disappeared for months.
00:39:31You had me worried.
00:39:33You show up to the office, you don't say a word to me.
00:39:35And you just show up at this man's house and so...
00:39:39Claudia, would...
00:39:41Would you just come, come back home with me, please?
00:39:46Why does he want me back so badly?
00:39:49Look, think about how this looks, okay?
00:39:51We are married and you can't be staying over at another man's house.
00:39:55That just screams crisis.
00:39:58Alright, and you were the one who said that we needed stability, right?
00:40:02And your father trusts you.
00:40:05Of course, he cares about the company, not me.
00:40:08What was I thinking?
00:40:10So?
00:40:12What do you say?
00:40:13You said that you were coming back to build an empire.
00:40:17He's right.
00:40:19If the two top executives who are supposed to be married look unstable, investors will panic.
00:40:31Fine.
00:40:33But we sleep in separate rooms.
00:40:35We are business partners.
00:40:37That's it.
00:40:40Yes.
00:40:41Yes, that's fine.
00:40:43Just as long as you come back home with me.
00:40:52I don't know.
00:41:06I don't recommend it.
00:41:12Match May haha, for example.

00:48:36i just
00:48:37then what did you mean
00:48:39look i was excited

00:53:19Oh, my God.
00:53:29Tonight was amazing.
00:53:31Maybe I should give him another chance after all.
00:53:34Or was this a terrible mistake?
00:54:06Maybe I should give her a chance after all.
00:54:10I'm coming.
00:54:12Oh my God.
00:54:14What the fuck?
00:54:18I'm coming.
00:54:25Morning, Nikki.
00:54:37Wait.
00:54:41Claudia's hairpin.
00:54:42She was here with him last night.
00:54:46What time is it?
00:54:48What even happened yesterday?
00:54:50How did I get into this room?
00:54:53What the hell?
00:54:54He doesn't remember.
00:54:55He doesn't remember being with Claudia.
00:54:59What do you mean, Nikki,
00:55:01that you don't remember what happened last night?
00:55:04What?
00:55:05What we did.
00:55:12What do you mean?
00:55:15Oh, how could you forget a night like that?
00:55:18Honestly, I'm impressed.
00:55:21Wait, wait.
00:55:22Are you saying that something happened between us?
00:55:26Something.
00:55:28Everything happened.
00:55:30Oh, last night was so amazing.
00:55:32Unimaginable.
00:55:33You were unforgettable.
00:55:36I woke up early this morning,
00:55:38thought I'd surprise you with breakfast.
00:55:41I mean, after all that effort you put in last night,
00:55:44you earned it.
00:55:47Oh, my hairpin.
00:55:49We were so wild last night.
00:55:51Must have just fallen off.
00:55:53Look, look, I don't know what happened last night,
00:55:56but nobody can hear any of this.
00:55:59Why would we hide anything?
00:56:01I'm serious.
00:56:03Look, what do you want?
00:56:06I don't want anything other than to be with you.
00:56:10What are you talking about?
00:56:11I'm married to your sister.
00:56:13I know.
00:56:14Doesn't that make it exciting?
00:56:16No, look, just say whatever you want
00:56:18and just leave now.
00:56:23Fine.
00:56:24I want to be VP of the company.
00:56:26This way, I stay close to you.
00:56:29I hate this, but I'm trapped.
00:56:33Fine.
00:56:35This is how it will be.
00:56:38Now get out of my room.
00:57:04Good morning.
00:57:06Good morning.
00:57:28Nick didn't tell you the good news.
00:57:31He promoted me senior VP.
00:57:33I'll be at all the executive meetings now.
00:57:36Is that true?
00:57:40Yes, I thought that it would be best for the company
00:57:43if the family was united.
00:57:50That's my hairpin she's wearing.
00:57:52What is going on here?
00:57:58Something's wrong.
00:57:59Was Joy in his room after I left?
00:58:02Oh, my God.
00:58:03Did something happen between them?
00:58:07Excuse me.
00:58:08I need to make a really important phone call.
00:58:12What?
00:58:15What have I done?
00:58:17I slept with her sister and ruined everything.
00:58:23Hello?
00:58:25Nick, Mr. Hart of EPS has arrived and is waiting for your meeting.
00:58:30What?
00:58:31Noah Hart is here?
00:58:32Oh, fuck.
00:58:33I forgot that meeting.
00:58:34Um, I need you to go get Claudia.
00:58:36Noah Hart is here.
00:58:37That's the biggest priority for this company right now.
00:58:39Great.
00:58:40Just have them meet us in here.
00:58:42No, no, no.
00:58:43This is an investor meeting.
00:58:44This isn't a board meeting.
00:58:45It's just Claudia and I only.
00:58:46Okay?
00:58:47We have an agreement.
00:58:48I am management now.
00:58:50This is non-negotiable.
00:58:53I need you to go get Claudia now.
00:59:00I can't believe that I let myself fall for him again.
00:59:03And he chooses Joy.
00:59:06I'm so fucking stupid.
00:59:16What do you want?
00:59:18There's an investor here, Noah Hart.
00:59:20He's in the lobby.
00:59:21He says he'll wait for you there.
00:59:23Noah Hart is here?
00:59:24Mm-hmm.
00:59:31You're really going to make it that easy for me?
00:59:34Idiot.
00:59:58Hello?
01:00:08Hello?
01:00:10Can anybody hear me?
01:00:12Can anybody hear me?
01:00:14Help!
01:00:16Hey, can anybody hear me?
01:00:18I'm stuck in here, please.
01:00:26No, no, no.
01:00:27My husband, Hayler.
01:00:29I left it in the office.
01:00:36Help!
01:00:36Somebody, please help me!
01:00:37Please, please!
01:00:56Nick, I was under the impression that your beautiful and brilliant wife would be joining us today.
01:01:02Absolutely.
01:01:04Would you like any more coffee?
01:01:06It's important to me that I do this with the both of you.
01:01:08Mm.
01:01:08You understand?
01:01:10No, no, absolutely.
01:01:11I, uh...
01:01:12Claudia should be here any moment.
01:01:14I just...
01:01:16Oh, she's here right...
01:01:20Now I came here to meet with you and your partner.
01:01:23You promised me the chaos in your company was over with.
01:01:25Look, Mr. Hart, you have nothing to worry about.
01:01:28I'm Joy Burchardson.
01:01:29I'm senior VP and a partner of this company just like my sister.
01:01:33Is that true?
01:01:43Hey, Claudia, where are you?
01:01:45Later.
01:01:46Please help.
01:01:47Help.
01:01:48Wait, what?
01:01:50Wait, where are you?
01:01:51Where are...
01:01:52Hold on, hold on.
01:01:52I'm coming.
01:01:53Don't worry.
01:01:54We're gonna help you.
01:01:54Help us on the way.
01:01:55Stay calm.
01:01:56Hey, hey.
01:01:57Is Claudia in there?
01:01:59Claudia!
01:02:00You in there?
01:02:02Claudia!
01:02:02Claudia, can you hear me?
01:02:04I'm gonna get you out.
01:02:08Please help.
01:02:09I'm coming in.
01:02:10I'm in here.
01:02:11I have an attic.
01:02:12Please help me.
01:02:14Claudia!
01:02:16Claudia, it's okay.
01:02:17I'm gonna get you out.
01:02:25No.
01:02:26No, no, no, no, no!
01:02:27Hey, hey, Claudia.
01:02:29Come on, come on.
01:02:29I got you.
01:02:31Somebody, please.
01:02:32Call the ambulance.
01:02:33Call somebody.
01:02:34You're okay.
01:02:35You're okay, Claudia.
01:02:36Let's go.
01:02:36Claudia.
01:02:37Claudia, you're gonna be fine.
01:02:42There you go.
01:02:43Just breathe.
01:02:45Are you feeling any better?
01:02:47Yeah.
01:02:49I'm just so tired.
01:02:51I'm gonna rest my eyes for a few moments.
01:02:54Of course, yeah.
01:02:55Just take as long as you need.
01:02:59I almost lost her.
01:03:01I don't know what I would have done.
01:03:03My God, I had no idea she was becoming this important to me.
01:03:22Wait, I can't believe it.
01:03:25Were you the one I was with last night?
01:03:27Or am I just imagining it?
01:03:31No, no, no, no.
01:03:32Just close your eyes and rest for now.
01:03:41Hey, investor.
01:03:43Mr. Hart, is he still here?
01:03:44No, no, no, Claudia.
01:03:46It's okay.
01:03:46Don't worry about that.
01:03:47Just rest for now.
01:03:48Oh, we can't afford to lose this investment.
01:03:50No, it's fine.
01:03:51We'll worry about that later, okay?
01:03:55Later.
01:03:57Wait, Claudia, just...
01:03:59This woman.
01:04:00She may actually be crazy, but I'm crazy about her.
01:04:09Wait!
01:04:10Mr. Hart, wait.
01:04:11Please.
01:04:12I'm so sorry that I missed our meeting.
01:04:14It was not on purpose.
01:04:16It was not...
01:04:16Stop right there.
01:04:19I've already made up my mind.
01:04:21Please, just give me a chance.
01:04:23I'm investing in you.
01:04:27I read over your metrics on the way.
01:04:30But then after seeing the way Nick fought for you,
01:04:34I can only say that I'm confident in my investment.
01:04:39My team sent over a contract.
01:04:44Congratulations.
01:04:53Do you hear that?
01:04:54He's going to invest in us.
01:04:55We did it!
01:05:10Claudia, why?
01:05:12I mean, there's something definitely between us, right?
01:05:16I don't know what you're talking about.
01:05:18I'm just happy we succeeded.
01:05:22It was her I was with last night.
01:05:24I know it was her.
01:05:27Hey, hey, hey.
01:05:28I need to ask you something about the party last night.
01:05:31Look, I know that I was very drunk, yes.
01:05:34And I don't remember anything, but I do remember.
01:05:38I remember your scent.
01:05:40And your hair.
01:05:42Tell me I'm not crazy.
01:05:44We were together last night, right?
01:05:46He doesn't remember.
01:05:48Not only that, he was with joy right after.
01:05:52No matter how much weight I lost, he still chose her.
01:06:07Nick was looking forward to the wedding because he was sure that he'd be marrying me.
01:06:16You must be imagining things.
01:06:20Maybe you're with someone else.
01:06:22So I really was with joy.
01:06:24I really did betray my wife, and I'm really not worthy of her.
01:06:31Well, now we have our contract with Noah Hart, so I guess we can stop pretending, right?
01:06:38Yeah, if that's how you want to do things.
01:07:01You going somewhere?
01:07:03This couple arrangement is over.
01:07:06Arrangement?
01:07:08This is a relationship.
01:07:11Claudia.
01:07:13Look.
01:07:15I know that I hurt you, okay?
01:07:17And I know that I failed you, but I'm here now.
01:07:21And I want to try.
01:07:22And I can change.
01:07:24Can you?
01:07:26Because I don't trust you.
01:07:28It's like you want me, and then the next second that changes.
01:07:31I mean, joy walks in the room, and then I no longer even exist.
01:07:36Just tell me this.
01:07:38What happens if I gain weight?
01:07:42If I get pregnant?
01:07:44If I embarrass you?
01:07:46If literally anything changes, then what?
01:07:49What, you just don't even want me anymore?
01:07:51I mean, what kind of a relationship is it if everything is predicted off of me being perfect?
01:07:55I mean, what kind of a relationship is it if everything is predicted off of me being perfect?
01:08:00Hey, hey, hey, look.
01:08:01I don't care about any of that.
01:08:03Look, you asked me if I would take you back, and the answer is yes.
01:08:07Because I finally got to know you.
01:08:10And you are the only person that I want.
01:08:13Look, Claudia.
01:08:15I love you.
01:08:18I do.
01:08:22No.
01:08:23I'm sorry, but I don't believe you.
01:08:31Sign it.
01:08:32What is this?
01:08:39This is a divorce agreement.
01:08:56I can't believe I've gone back to Ben and Jerry's.
01:08:59Oh, a threesome?
01:09:02Spicy.
01:09:04Seriously, you're allowed some comfort without guilt.
01:09:08I'm just so angry at myself.
01:09:10You know, I came back here to make everyone regret how they treated me,
01:09:14and I promised myself that I wasn't going to let anyone make me feel like I was unworthy ever again.
01:09:20But, you know what I think?
01:09:22You made all these changes, but you forgot the big one.
01:09:27Right here.
01:09:28What do you mean?
01:09:31You lost weight.
01:09:32You look incredible.
01:09:34You're strong.
01:09:34You're healthy.
01:09:35But you still don't love yourself enough.
01:09:38No, that's not true.
01:09:39I do.
01:09:40I love myself.
01:09:41No, Nick told you again and again and again how he wanted you.
01:09:46If you loved yourself fully, you would have believed him.
01:09:52He cheated on me with joy.
01:09:54No, you don't really know that.
01:09:56But you do really know that Joy is a liar and a manipulative psycho bitch.
01:10:02So before you throw him away because you think he chose her,
01:10:06maybe at least try to check what actually happened?
01:10:18Hi, um, I'm calling, uh, this is Claudia Richardson.
01:10:23I was the sponsor of the event two nights ago.
01:10:27Yes, uh, something was stolen from my room.
01:10:29It was room, um, 843.
01:10:33Mm-hmm.
01:10:36Yes, I would love to see the security footage.
01:10:50Okay, okay.
01:10:53Fast forward.
01:10:58See, I told you.
01:11:00You slept with her.
01:11:02Patience.
01:11:07Well, that's the fastest affair in history.
01:11:13I mean, she was only there for, like, five minutes.
01:11:16I mean, either he did cheat and he finishes way too fast,
01:11:19which in that case, girl, good riddance.
01:11:21Or he was never with her and she lied.
01:11:24Bitch lied.
01:11:37Uh, Claudia?
01:11:41Look, I haven't signed a divorce agreement yet, but I will.
01:11:45Don't worry about that.
01:11:47But is, is that why you came all the way out here?
01:11:56Claudia, what are you, what are you doing?
01:11:59You tried so many times to tell me how you felt.
01:12:02That you wanted me.
01:12:04That I couldn't believe you.
01:12:06I couldn't believe that you would love someone like me.
01:12:09How could anyone not love someone like you?
01:12:12Look, Claudia, I, I love you.
01:12:16And I am so mad at myself for ruining everything between us.
01:12:21You didn't ruin anything.
01:12:24I did.
01:12:25I, I, I, I'm still an insecure woman.
01:12:32And I didn't let you get close.
01:12:37Look, Claudia, I, um, I cheated on you.
01:12:45With joy.
01:12:48So, um.
01:12:54No, you didn't.
01:12:57You were with me that night.
01:13:01And it was perfect.
01:13:04Wait, so, so I wasn't with joy.
01:13:08So, so you and I?
01:13:14I thought I destroyed everything.
01:13:16I mean, so what are you, what are you saying, Claudia?
01:13:21I'm saying that I'm willing to give you a chance.
01:13:25But I need time.
01:13:27I look different now, but I'm still me.
01:13:31And three months ago, I could barely leave the house.
01:13:35I was so insecure in my own skin.
01:13:37And I'm finally learning how to love myself.
01:13:42Look, you take all the time that you need.
01:13:45I'm gonna be here.
01:13:48Always.
01:13:50Just don't hurt me again.
01:13:53Can I kiss you?
01:13:54Hey.
01:14:03Hey.
01:14:05Hey.
01:14:08If we shift the allocation, then we can accelerate the growth without any increased risk.
01:14:15Right.
01:14:17You know, every time you talk strategy, it drives me wild.
01:14:21Wait, what do you mean?
01:14:22Does it bother you?
01:14:24Bother me?
01:14:25No, no, no.
01:14:27It actually makes me feel kind of crazy.
01:14:34Really?
01:14:34Yeah, it's very strong, bold, powering.
01:14:41It's just hard to resist.
01:14:51I think people are going to lock in here in a second.
01:14:54And I don't even care.
01:15:03What the hell?
01:15:08What the hell?
01:15:13Didn't you get divorced?
01:15:15Well, that's what you wanted all along, isn't it, Troy?
01:15:20To drive a wedge between us?
01:15:22To destroy my confidence?
01:15:24Then why?
01:15:25You are so beautiful and determined.
01:15:29I mean, you could have any job, any man that you wanted.
01:15:32So why?
01:15:33Why do you need to take mine?
01:15:36Because it's yours, Claudia.
01:15:39Dad always preferred you.
01:15:41He always loved you more.
01:15:42Everything was always about you.
01:15:45I mean, you took up all the space in the house.
01:15:47And yes, that was a fat joke, too.
01:15:50Oh, and it was really funny.
01:15:52Hmm.
01:15:53You know what's funnier, though?
01:15:55I was always so jealous of you.
01:15:57And then I stopped comparing myself to you,
01:15:59and I realized that I literally don't have anything to envy.
01:16:07Oh, you think you're better than me.
01:16:10Above me.
01:16:11Well, let's stop pretending.
01:16:13Because your wonderful man here cheated on you with me.
01:16:18Enough!
01:16:20Enough of your lies, okay?
01:16:21We know that you made up everything about that night.
01:16:24You sabotaged the elevator.
01:16:25You put her in harm's way.
01:16:26You could have hurt her, and that's unforgivable.
01:16:29Well, you have no evidence.
01:16:31We're not going to the cops.
01:16:33You're out.
01:16:34You're fired!
01:16:35You can't fire me.
01:16:38This is my father's company.
01:16:40And we are the CEOs.
01:16:43So you're fired.
01:16:48Hmm.
01:16:52You okay?
01:16:54Yeah.
01:17:01I can't believe they fired me!
01:17:03Oh, they're going to pay for this!
01:17:09Hmm.
01:17:10Uh, documents you requested, Mom?
01:17:20Soon, everything will be mine.
01:17:23Claudia, Nick, both of you will pay.
01:17:52Well, well, well, you just shut down this entire room.
01:17:55Everything that you see here, the signing, this evening, the Noah Hart investment is all
01:18:01because of you.
01:18:02Your father would be proud, sweetie.
01:18:06That is very nice to hear.
01:18:09You contributed, too.
01:18:10A little.
01:18:11Ha!
01:18:13Have you seen my father?
01:18:14He needs to be here before the investor arrives.
01:18:17Uh, no.
01:18:17I haven't seen him yet.
01:18:19Huh.
01:18:20That's weird.
01:18:21It's not like him to be late for things like this.
01:18:23I hope nothing but that happens.
01:18:35Hello, Daddy.
01:18:37Joy?
01:18:38What are you doing here?
01:18:40I just thought we'd have a drink before the event tonight.
01:18:43Well, I'm pleasantly surprised, but, uh, you're still coming despite what happened with
01:18:48Claudia and Nick?
01:18:49Oh, Daddy, the company is what matters, and they're my family.
01:18:54I only want what's best for them.
01:18:56That's just great, Joy.
01:18:57I'm really proud of you.
01:18:59But, uh, you know how I hate being late.
01:19:01We have to go soon.
01:19:02Come on, Dad.
01:19:03Just one moment before Claudia soaks up all the attention.
01:19:08I know I'm not your favorite daughter, but I do work hard.
01:19:13Sweetheart, no.
01:19:15You know I love you, sweetheart.
01:19:17You know that.
01:19:19All right, I guess one quick whiskey won't hurt, and then we go.
01:19:55To father-daughter time.
01:19:58To father-daughter time.
01:20:09I don't, uh, I don't, uh, feel well.
01:20:14It's, uh...
01:20:17Dad, what is it?
01:20:19Uh, everything is, uh, spinning, and I can't...
01:20:23Uh, I can't see clearly.
01:20:25It's probably just a dizzy spell.
01:20:28Wait here and rest for a second.
01:20:30Soon, Claudia, you'll finally be out of my way.
01:20:39Listen, Dad, while you're resting, we might as well be fishing and do some paperwork.
01:20:43Sign here.
01:20:44Paperwork?
01:20:45What?
01:20:45Yeah, uh, Claudia asked for some formality thing for tonight.
01:20:50Claudia asked for...
01:20:52Well, if Claudia said to do it, then it's fine, I guess.
01:20:57No.
01:20:58Fine.
01:20:59Should I...
01:21:03Okay.
01:21:09Okay, well, Noah Hart is here, and he hates people being late, so where is my father?
01:21:14No, no, no.
01:21:15Don't worry about it.
01:21:16Just relax.
01:21:16He'll be here any moment.
01:21:18No, I just...
01:21:19I have this bad feeling like something happened.
01:21:22Okay, one second.
01:21:24Hey, Gabby, can you please go to Jack Bridgerton's house, make sure he's okay, check up on him,
01:21:29get here immediately.
01:21:36That's it, Claudia.
01:21:38Now all of Dad's inheritance is mine.
01:21:41I'm the CEO now.
01:21:43I need help.
01:21:44Help, I don't feel well.
01:21:47You should have thought about that before choosing Claudia over me our whole lives.
01:21:53And now?
01:21:55You'll have to die alone.
01:22:09What a nice celebration, huh?
01:22:12What?
01:22:13A little premature, wouldn't you say?
01:22:15We still haven't signed.
01:22:18Speaking of which, shall we?
01:22:20Mr. Hart, I, um, I'm so sorry.
01:22:24I know that you hate to delay things, and trust me, we do too.
01:22:29My father needs to be here.
01:22:33He's waited for this moment his whole life, and he wouldn't miss it for the world.
01:22:41Well, it looks like he is.
01:22:46Hello?
01:22:49Mr. Richardson?
01:22:50You home?
01:22:58I don't mean to be disrespectful to your father, but I have a full schedule ahead.
01:23:03Are we going to sign or what?
01:23:07Um, I think that your father would want us to go through with this and not lose this opportunity.
01:23:13You're right.
01:23:14And we can begin.
01:23:17Perfect.
01:23:18You two are about to sign a contract that's going to change your lives.
01:23:32Stop!
01:23:38Everybody stop.
01:23:40Claudia has no authority to sign.
01:23:42Your signature there means nothing.
01:23:45Dad signed a new agreement today.
01:23:47Claudia is out.
01:23:49I'm the new CEO.
01:23:51My company.
01:23:53I'm the one who signs.
01:23:54Nick, what's going on?
01:23:57There's nothing to worry about, I assure you.
01:24:00Joy has no authority here.
01:24:02She was fired, and now she is desperate for relevance.
01:24:04Thanks.
01:24:05No.
01:24:06Then explain this.
01:24:09Forging your father's signature now?
01:24:11Pretty desperate, even for you.
01:24:14No, Nick, this is...
01:24:15This is real.
01:24:17This is dad's signature.
01:24:18Is it?
01:24:24Joy Richardson, CEO.
01:24:26Shall we continue?
01:24:28No, no, no.
01:24:28This doesn't make any sense, okay?
01:24:30Jack never trusted you with anything.
01:24:32Oh, on the contrary.
01:24:34My dad trusted me with his life.
01:24:37He told me I was the beloved daughter, not the one who disappeared for three months without
01:24:42telling him.
01:24:43So, smile, Nicky.
01:24:46You're finally free of Claudia.
01:24:48You can have me now.
01:24:50Now, we can become the power couple we were always meant to be.
01:24:54Where is dad?
01:24:57Did you do something to him?
01:25:00Relax.
01:25:01Dad is fine.
01:25:02He just finally woke up.
01:25:04And you need to wake up, too.
01:25:06I know you didn't want to marry Claudia.
01:25:08He wanted to marry me.
01:25:11So, now you can.
01:25:12Let's become the most gorgeous and strongest couple in the industry.
01:25:23Sign with me.
01:25:27Come on, Nicky.
01:25:28What are you waiting for?
01:25:29If you don't choose me, then my first act as CEO will be canceling this merger.
01:25:35No, no, you can't do that.
01:25:37Noah has signed with us already.
01:25:39Ooh, but he already signed.
01:25:42See?
01:25:42Now, all it takes is my signature.
01:25:45Come on, Nicky.
01:25:49If you don't sign, then she's going to destroy everything.
01:25:52My wife's work.
01:25:53No, no.
01:25:53You are my wife.
01:25:55The company matters, but you matter more.
01:25:57And I'm not going to lose you again.
01:25:58No matter what.
01:26:02Oh, my God.
01:26:03Both of you are so stupid.
01:26:05But, hey.
01:26:07Better luck next time, liver boy.
01:26:12Stop this immediately.
01:26:17Everything she said is a lie.
01:26:21She drugged me and forced me to sign.
01:26:34Your jealousy has turned you into a monster.
01:26:39I'm ashamed of you.
01:26:41You're no longer my daughter.
01:26:43I can't forgive you for doing this.
01:26:46You're no longer my sister.
01:26:47Oh, boo-fucking-hoo.
01:26:49Since you're no longer family and you're not an employee, you're no longer here.
01:26:56Security!
01:27:01Wait, no, Claudia.
01:27:02What is this?
01:27:03You know, my instincts told me something bad happened to Dad.
01:27:06And I think that maybe you had something to do with it.
01:27:09And I believe her instincts, so that's why I call it security, just in case.
01:27:13You can't!
01:27:14You can't do this!
01:27:15Begin for attempted murder.
01:27:16Oh, you fat bitch!
01:27:18Don't regret this!
01:27:19I'm not finished with you!
01:27:23Oh.
01:27:25Fat bitch.
01:27:26It is a long story.
01:27:28Yes.
01:27:30Right.
01:27:32Well, if the family drama's over, shall we, dare I say, sign?
01:27:38Yes.
01:27:38Yes!
01:27:40Mmm!
01:27:49I do have one more thing to say.
01:27:53Claudia, I know that I ruined our wedding day, but you deserve nothing more than your dream wedding.
01:28:02So?
01:28:03You were born, you were born to be on display.
01:28:07Will you marry me?
01:28:13Yes.
01:28:14Oh my God, yes, yes, yes.
01:28:20Partners.
01:28:22In every way possible.
01:28:39You
