00:00:09They're coming!
00:00:46Excuse me?
00:00:47What are you looking for?
00:00:58Let's go.
00:01:14I owe you my life.
00:01:25Miss Arya has been waiting for you for a long time.
00:01:49They stripped me of my trust fund, my IP, my identity.
00:01:55I have nothing.
00:02:03I just...
00:02:04I just need a fake engagement for one year.
00:02:08Once the NDA expires, I will never bother you again.
00:02:14I guess it's still not working.
00:02:32I owe you my life.
00:02:37I must be losing my mind.
00:02:41My apologies for wasting your time.
00:02:51Let's get married.
00:03:00What did you just say?
00:03:04Marriage is a legal and financial contract.
00:03:07I don't do fake.
00:03:09Julian Vance does not play make-believe with his marital status.
00:03:14You don't care about my past.
00:03:17I literally just walked out of a...
00:03:20I keep...
00:03:21I keep my promises.
00:03:23You need a titanium shield against your family's conservatorship lawyers.
00:03:26Become my wife and you'll have it.
00:03:28In New York, with the Vance name, you will own the skyline.
00:03:32Own the skyline?
00:03:35I just want my life back, Julian.
00:03:38I'm not King Kong.
00:03:40What exactly did they do to you in that place?
00:03:45Are you serious about this?
00:03:47New York City Clerk's Office.
00:03:49Tomorrow morning, 10am.
00:03:51Don't be late.
00:03:53Fine.
00:03:5510am.
00:03:59This cluster of flowers boasts bright, vivid hues and a delicate, subtle fragrance.
00:04:06Breathtakingly beautiful in every way.
00:04:16You!
00:04:17Who authorized the termination of conservatorship?
00:04:21You deserve to rot in that asylum for the rest of your miserable life!
00:04:25What's wrong, Valerie?
00:04:27Are you disappointed?
00:04:28That I crawled my way back from hell.
00:04:37Aria?
00:04:38Are you having an episode?
00:04:39Did you wander off the facility grounds?
00:04:41Aria, what is the meaning of this?
00:04:43Who signed off on your release?
00:04:44The court-appointed psychiatrist has certified that I am perfectly sane.
00:04:49The conservatorship is dead.
00:04:51Isn't that what you promised me five years ago?
00:04:53Once you're cured, you can come home.
00:04:54And now, I am cured.
00:05:01You...
00:05:02You're supposed to stay in that facility forever!
00:05:07Sister, my point is...
00:05:09I mean, now that you're officially discharged,
00:05:12why haven't you reached out to father?
00:05:14We would have thrown you a welcome home party.
00:05:16Let's skip the family reunion act.
00:05:18I'm here for two things.
00:05:20My irresavable trust and my mother's brand.
00:05:22Sign the papers and I'm gone.
00:05:23Aria, honey, your father has been worried sick about you.
00:05:26The interior designer completely gutted the East Wing so your room just isn't ready yet.
00:05:30Please, don't read anything into it.
00:05:32So tell me, is the room still under renovation?
00:05:35Or did you just renovate the family by deleting me from the zip code?
00:05:39Valerie?
00:05:40Enough! Stop this nonsense!
00:05:42You walk in here and instantly turn this house into a war zone.
00:05:45Aria, my study. Now!
00:05:50I better pray your book's filled heart is strong enough.
00:05:54Because today is just the prelude.
00:06:04Drink some tea, Aria. Warm yourself up.
00:06:06Five years ago, you poisoned my cup, stole my freedom with a conservatorship and buried me alive.
00:06:11So tell me, what's on the agenda today?
00:06:14Another involuntary hold?
00:06:16Ah!
00:06:19It was for your own good. You were facing 20 years for vehicular manslaughter.
00:06:24Let's leave the past in the past. Cut to the chase. What's your price today?
00:06:31I want Maison Aura. I am using my 10% voting shares to initiate a corporate spin-out.
00:06:37I want it entirely removed from the Asta portfolio and transferred solely to my name.
00:06:42Stop being delusional. Maison Aura is a dead asset that's bleeding money.
00:06:47Your 10% could buy it 10 times over.
00:06:50How about this? You return to the Asta Group.
00:06:53Sloane is the creative director now. I can have her carve out a junior designer spot.
00:06:57Shut up!
00:06:58Richard, I need to remind you of something.
00:07:01My medical records label me as severely unhinged.
00:07:12Aren't you terrified that a certified psychopath might just snap?
00:07:17That I might take this to Valerie and Sloane's freshly lifted faces?
00:07:21During those 1,800 days in that hellhole, I wished they were dead.
00:07:30Now, sign.
00:07:34I'll sign. I'll sign it. The knife.
00:07:38Put the knife down first.
00:07:39I'll have my legal team execute this and file the spin-off disclosures with the SEC immediately.
00:07:58I expect Asta.
00:08:01Asta Fashion Group to issue a press release regarding the separation of Masonara by end of day.
00:08:10From this moment on, the Astens are out of my life.
00:08:19For good.
00:08:33Trading 10% of voting power for a dead hood couture label?
00:08:38Looks like she completely lost her mind in that place.
00:08:42Stop right there!
00:08:43What did you just force your father to sign in that steed?
00:08:47You're not taking a single step out of here until you make yourself clear!
00:08:51Back off!
00:08:53Mum!
00:08:56Aria, have you completely lost it?!
00:08:58Do you have any idea what you're doing?!
00:08:59Aria, you... you really have lost your mind!
00:09:03Yes, I am.
00:09:05Officially insane, with paperwork to prove it.
00:09:09Why don't you make the call and have the NYPD come fetch me?
00:09:14Dad!
00:09:16She's having an episode!
00:09:17She's having an episode!
00:09:22Aria!
00:09:23Stop this madness!
00:09:24Immediately!
00:09:25Your mother has a heart condition!
00:09:27You just got out of a facility!
00:09:29Your mental state is unstable!
00:09:31Do not trigger her condition!
00:09:38Five years ago, I locked you into a conservatorship.
00:09:42And now, I could have you committed again!
00:09:44Permanently!
00:09:45No way out!
00:09:46I'll bleed them dry for every ounce of pain they owe me.
00:09:50With compound interest.
00:10:05Why the hell are you still clinging to that crap?
00:10:07Toss it, Aria!
00:10:09It's poison!
00:10:10I can't.
00:10:11It's my all.
00:10:12My shield against every attack.
00:10:15Aster Fashion Group's creative director, Sloan Aster, is marrying real estate heir, Tristan Shaw.
00:10:21Are these media outsets completely brain dead?
00:10:23Treating a plagiarizing fraud and a trust fund frat boy like Manhattan's royal couple?
00:10:29Aria.
00:10:30Tristan is marrying her.
00:10:32Are you?
00:10:33He can marry whoever he wants.
00:10:35It's a free country.
00:10:36Besides, I'm getting married too.
00:10:38Married?
00:10:39Who the hell didn't tell me?
00:10:41Julian Vance?
00:10:46Ten fucking minutes and you're going to marry the Apex predator of Wall Street?!
00:10:51That man doesn't just play dirty.
00:10:53He eats people alive.
00:10:54Harper, my brilliant lawyer.
00:10:56Draft me a bulletproof prenup and an iron-cammed NDA.
00:10:59Who's the fuck?
00:11:09I hope I have to do that.
00:11:10You сп Yes.
00:11:11I am.
00:11:12I'm the one day.
00:11:13I'm the one day before I go to the destiny of the promised land?
00:11:21I'm your friend, guests, where are you?
00:11:21Aisha?
00:11:22Oh my God.
00:11:30Is it really happening?
00:11:32Am I irrevocably binding my life to this man?
00:12:03Wait...
00:12:04Aren't I supposed to keep a copy?
00:12:05I'll keep the paperwork.
00:12:07Think of it as my little way of keeping you close.
00:12:10And keeping those sudden annulment urges in check.
00:12:15Um, if you need to head straight back to Vance Global,
00:12:18you can just have the driver drop me off at my Brooklyn studio.
00:12:20I'll pack my things.
00:12:22I don't do long-distance marriages, Aria.
00:12:24You think those papers we just signed were just a formality?
00:12:28Don't tell me you still don't get it.
00:12:30That was a declaration.
00:12:31Defining you as mine.
00:12:33Forever.
00:12:34I... I understand.
00:12:39No separate living arrangements?
00:12:42Does that mean tonight is the wedding night?
00:13:03Are you running a fever?
00:13:05You're flushed?
00:13:06Uh?
00:13:07No.
00:13:08It's nothing.
00:13:08I swear, the AC, it's just...
00:13:11really hot in here.
00:13:12I swear.
00:13:23Staff doesn't sleep in the main house.
00:13:25They only come during scheduled hours.
00:13:28Follow me.
00:13:31So that explains the chill.
00:13:34It's completely empty.
00:13:36He certainly doesn't look like the type who could share a roof with a stranger.
00:13:40Come with me.
00:13:42You're going to love it here.
00:13:43In the future...
00:13:46theלהcracks...
00:14:11The
00:14:19Julian, wait. Can you promise me one thing?
00:14:25You are my wife. I will agree to whatever it is.
00:14:31Can we keep this marriage quiet for now?
00:14:34On paper, I'm still a clinically unstable manslaughter suspect.
00:14:37I don't want Vance Global stock tanking because of a PR nightmare.
00:14:40Fine. But my mother, Petritz, already knows.
00:14:44That's fine. Just no press releases.
00:14:46Sure. Anything you need, just come to me. The entire PR department is at your disposal.
00:14:52Julian, thanks.
00:14:57Ara, look at me. You are my wife now. You don't need to care what anyone else thinks.
00:15:03If the Aster family tries to step on you, you crush them.
00:15:06You don't endure anything anymore. From anyone.
00:15:16And never say thank you to me.
00:15:22It's just a contract. He's just a guy in a suit.
00:15:25You survived five years in Tranquil Woods. You can survive one night.
00:15:52This.... This is totally cheating!
00:15:56It's huge!

00:21:10She's not worth wrecking your life over!
00:21:21Please accept my deepest apologies, everyone.
00:21:23I take full responsibility.
00:21:23I made the mistake of taking her off her medication.
00:21:25Clearly that was reckless, letting a violently unstable patient roam free like this.
00:21:29Are you kidding me?
00:21:30Who let a psycho out of the psych ward?
00:21:32Shut up! All of you, shut the hell up!
00:21:35Arya is not sick!
00:21:37You Upper East Side hypocrites!
00:21:39Don't know a damn thing, so keep your toxic mouths shut!
00:21:43Wow.
00:21:44A viacular manslaughter suspect, shopping for penthouses.
00:21:49Tell me Arya, did daddy's money make the charges disappear?
00:21:54You literally pancaked Liam Hayes, and now he rots in a freezing cemetery, yet here you are living it up?
00:22:01How do you sleep at night?
00:22:04Don't you ever see him covered in blood?
00:22:06Coming back from hell to drag you down with him?
00:22:10Say that again.
00:22:16I've already contacted the private extraction team at Trink Windy Woods.
00:22:21You're pulling up as we speak.
00:22:23The ECTT room has really missed you.
00:22:29Sister, look at that man over there.
00:22:32Doesn't he look exactly like Liam?
00:22:45It wasn't me! I wasn't the one driving!
00:22:48Somebody help!
00:22:49My sister's having a manic episode! Security, please!
00:22:52Come on!
00:23:01Clear the way!
00:23:03Conservativeship extraction team, step aside!
00:23:09Back the hell off!
00:23:17Put the zip ties on her!
00:23:19Drag her back to that black site!
00:23:23What are you doing?
00:23:25What are you doing?
00:23:28No!
00:23:36Sister, your scarf is crooked.
00:23:38Didn't you just try to-
00:23:40That palette is tragic.
00:23:43Five years as a fashion prodigy, and your taste is still this pathetic.
00:23:47Enough!
00:23:48What are you idiots waiting for?
00:23:50Tie her down and haul her back to the psych ward!
00:23:53I'm curious.
00:23:54After a judge legally dissolved my conservatorship,
00:23:57how much untraceable crypto does it take for two state nurses to cross county lines for a felony kidnapping?
00:24:02Smile for the camera, Manhattan.
00:24:04Renowned designer,
00:24:05Renowned designer,
00:24:05Sclone Astor caught attempting a felony kidnapping of a legally autonomous citizen.
00:24:10Stop recording!
00:24:12Put that down right now!
00:24:19Harper, call the NYPD.
00:24:21With pleasure.
00:24:22Perfect timing to submit my dossier on Tranquility Woods' systematic abuse.
00:24:27It was her!
00:24:28She wired our director offshore crypto!
00:24:31We didn't want to!
00:24:32You're lying!
00:24:33I don't even know you people!
00:24:35A federal subpoena of your bank records will clear that right up.
00:24:43What the hell are you all still making a scene for?
00:24:56Are you that eager to marry me?
00:24:58It's me.
00:24:59I'm the one who's desperate to marry you.
00:25:01I can't fucking wait.
00:25:03Tristan, don't even listen!
00:25:04She just busted out of the psych ward!
00:25:06Off her meds!
00:25:07Totally unhing!
00:25:08Broke as you are,
00:25:09you waltz into the priciest towers on Billionaire's Row,
00:25:12crawl back to whatever hole you came from and quit throwing a tantrum.
00:25:17None of your fucking business.
00:25:19Who gave you the impression Mrs. Van couldn't afford this?
00:25:26Mr. Vance requested you have this.
00:25:33You got married.
00:25:34You spent five years locked up in a literal insane asylum.
00:25:38You get out and you instantly get married?
00:25:40Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:25:42You never loved me, did you?
00:25:47Plot twist, assholes!
00:25:49It's me!
00:25:50I'm the one who got hitched!
00:25:52My husband tossed me this card so I could spoil my best friend.
00:25:57Thank you, my dear bestie.
00:26:01An invite-only, ultra-exclusive black card.
00:26:05Whatever penthouse she wants,
00:26:07the closing wire happens today.
00:26:09We're not window shopping, darling,
00:26:11we're buying the building.
00:26:16Where's Julian?
00:26:18Mr. Vance is waiting outside, ma'am.
00:26:24Harper, handle the contracts.
00:26:31Murderer.
00:26:32Psychopath.
00:26:33How much of that did he hear?
00:26:35And how does he look at a wife covered in this much mud?
00:26:42The things they said in there.
00:26:46Did you hear all of it?
00:26:48If you didn't want me to hear it, then I heard nothing.
00:26:51The noise of pests doesn't reach me.
00:26:54I'm not crazy!
00:26:56And I didn't kill Liam!
00:26:57I was framed!
00:26:59I believe you.
00:27:01You really believe me?
00:27:02You are my wife.
00:27:04If I don't believe you, who the hell would I believe?
00:27:09Signed and sealed.
00:27:11Did the Wall Street predator leave you all alone?
00:27:13What about Tristan running his mouth?
00:27:15Did you explain things to Julian?
00:27:17Explain what?
00:27:18The moment he broke our engagement for Sloan,
00:27:20he became a sunk cost.
00:27:21Why would I waste breath mentioning an irrelevant stranger to my husband?
00:27:25Bill, your wedding night with the billionaire?
00:27:27Did the apex predator finally show his teeth?
00:27:31Mother Nature decided to intervene with bad timing.
00:27:46Five years, Sloan.
00:27:47Still a parasite.
00:27:49This garbage doesn't deserve the label.
00:28:01Oh no!
00:28:04How did this store end up like this?
00:28:08The silk is tolerable.
00:28:09The embroidery, unforgivable.
00:28:13Factory-lined trash masquerading as couture.
00:28:16Your eyes razor sharp.
00:28:18They went with basic one-sided machine stitching,
00:28:20padded it with a heavy lining to hide the ugly bobbin threads.
00:28:23I can do that.
00:28:24A hand-stitched, reversible silk masterpiece,
00:28:28made for you alone.
00:28:30A nod to those who still know the real Masanora.
00:28:34Then I'll trust you this time.
00:28:40I believe we can help each other.
00:28:49Mom, did you hear her?
00:28:51Someone still remembers you.
00:28:54Someone still remembers the real Masanora.
00:29:00There was something undeniably familiar about that girl's eyes.
00:29:04I was so caught up, I completely forgot to ask for her full name.
00:29:08When she delivers the gown next week, you can ask her.
00:29:11Besides, didn't Mr. Julian mention he'd be bringing his new bride to the estate for dinner this weekend?
00:29:18You can wear your new custom gown to formally welcome your daughter-in-law.
00:29:24I honestly thought Julian would end up marrying his hedge fund.
00:29:29I have no idea what kind of angel descended from heaven to make him rush into a city hall wedding.
00:29:36I simply cannot wait to meet her.
00:29:48I simply cannot wait to meet her.
00:29:50It was you! Aria, you killed Liam!
00:29:55She's manic officers.
00:29:57Completely detached from reality.
00:30:00She's a murderer.
00:30:06Aria! Aria, wake up! Don't be afraid!
00:30:09I'm right here by your side.
00:30:10I'm not crazy! No more injections! Get away!
00:30:13Aria, it's over. It's me, Julian. I'm right here.
00:30:16No one will ever dare hurt you again.
00:30:29Mr. Vance.
00:30:30Marcus.
00:30:31Dig.
00:30:32I want every single record, every sealed NDA and every psychiatrist file from her five years in the Tranquil Woods
00:30:38conservatorship,
00:30:39and pull the police reports from Liam Hayes' crash.
00:30:42Understood, boss.
00:30:44Dr. Aris at the estate, first thing tomorrow morning.
00:30:48Sloan.
00:30:49Valerie.
00:30:50Richard.
00:30:51Enjoy your trust funds while you can.
00:30:53I'm taking everything.
00:30:57Talk.
00:31:02After her mother's death, Richard Aston moved his mistress in.
00:31:05Aria was framed for vehicular manslaughter to kill her PR value and stock leverage.
00:31:08Richard rigged a closed-door medical board to get full conservatorship.
00:31:11He locked her in Serenity Pines.
00:31:13It's a black site sale.
00:31:14Medical logs show orderlies used tactical battens for restraint protocols.
00:31:20Three broken ribs, bone fragments nearly punctured her lung.
00:31:24She was left on the concrete floor to suffocate.
00:31:30Julian.
00:31:32I'm so sorry.
00:31:33Last night, I didn't mean to.
00:31:36I just lost control.
00:31:37I'm sorry.
00:31:38Eyes on me, Aria.
00:31:40Apologies are beneath you as my wife.
00:31:42Got it?
00:31:44Now, go get some food.
00:31:48Mr. Vance.
00:31:49Dr. Eris is here.
00:31:51Dr. Eris is here.
00:31:51Are you sick?
00:31:53No.
00:31:54He's here for you.
00:31:55He's a top pulmonologist.
00:31:57Just a quick check on that cough from last night.
00:32:02I'm not sick!
00:32:03I don't need a doctor!
00:32:06Aria!
00:32:07Don't touch me!
00:32:08Aria!
00:32:09Stop!
00:32:10I told you I'm not sick!
00:32:12Why don't you believe me?
00:32:13You aren't sick?
00:32:15Then tell me, who was the one coughing their heart out in bed last night?
00:32:21Mrs. Vance is suffering from chronic pulmonary scarring.
00:32:24It's the aftermath of extreme cold exposure combined with prolonged malnutrition.
00:32:29The underlying tissue damage is severe.
00:32:31It triggers violent spasms and coughing flits in her lungs.
00:32:35Can it be reversed?
00:32:35Absolutely, Mr. Vance.
00:32:37It requires an aggressive cholerial sauroid and regenerative therapy regimen twice a day.
00:32:43If she adheres to it, we can heal the tissue damage over time.
00:32:48Marcus, see the doctor out.
00:32:51Julian, about earlier.
00:32:54I'm sorry.
00:32:55I misunderstood.
00:32:56I thought you...
00:32:56No apologies.
00:32:57Not now.
00:32:58Not ever.
00:32:59Just be my good girl and take your treatment.
00:33:01Can you do it?
00:33:01I promise.
00:33:02I won't miss a single dose.
00:33:03No matter how many pills or treatments, I'll do exactly as he says.
00:33:07Go change and get ready.
00:33:08I'm taking you to meet some people shortly.
00:33:09Who?
00:33:10Is it a formal event?
00:33:10Do I need to dress up?
00:33:12No.
00:33:12Only my closest.
00:33:13A disgraced heiress.
00:33:14Keep it casual.
00:33:15We have a lot of work to do.
00:33:17His inner circle?
00:33:18A disgraced heiress and a contract?
00:33:20Yet he's pulling me right in.
00:33:22And he said,
00:33:23We have a lot of work to do.
00:33:26He's really going to help me take everything back.
00:33:32Read and Weep!
00:33:33Wall Street!
00:33:34I finally took a hand from you absolute vultures!
00:33:40I'm folding.
00:33:42His voice is giving me a migraine.
00:33:49Holy shit!
00:33:50Julian!
00:33:51Do my eyes deceive me?
00:33:52Or is this the elusive Mrs. Vance?
00:33:54Nice to finally meet you.
00:33:56Chase Sterling.
00:33:57Julian's ultimate wingman.
00:33:58Oh, stop.
00:33:59Don't stare at me so intensely.
00:34:00I'm getting shy.
00:34:02She's just staring at that abomination you're wearing.
00:34:05What do you think?
00:34:06The designer said it uses reflective micro sequels for a holographic effect.
00:34:11If I tell the truth, will it ruin the bromance?
00:34:15Tell him.
00:34:16It's garbage.
00:34:21I told you it was a fashion atrocity!
00:34:24Is it really that bad?
00:34:25This is a custom one-of-one piece by Sloane Naster.
00:34:28It seems Sloane has officially run out of the sketches she stole from me.
00:34:32That explains why Astor Fashion's recent lines have been bleeding stock value.
00:34:36Burn it before it infects my retinas.
00:34:39Never wear her garbage again.
00:34:41How was I supposed to know she was a frog?
00:34:45Chase, Silas Young, CEO of Omnibedia.
00:34:48And Natalie, a federal prosecutor.
00:34:51Aria, my wife.
00:34:53Silas and Nat aren't even married yet?
00:34:55You got hitched without making a sound?
00:34:57You move fast.
00:34:58When's the wedding?
00:34:59Keeping it quiet for now.
00:35:01But we will host a massive gala soon.
00:35:04You're legally married.
00:35:05Why throw a lavish coming out party?
00:35:07Aria is launching her independent label, Mason Aria.
00:35:10We're using the gala to hijack the media narrative and pave her runway.
00:35:13Whoa!
00:35:14You have to design my red carpet look.
00:35:16Sloane's out.
00:35:17I need you as my personal go-to designer, like, right now.
00:35:22A red carpet?
00:35:23Are you...
00:35:24A star?
00:35:29You don't know who I am?
00:35:31You're kidding, right?
00:35:32You honestly don't know who I am?
00:35:34I...
00:35:34Haven't exactly been keeping up with pop culture.
00:35:37I was away.
00:35:38In a facility upstate.
00:35:40Completely off the grid.
00:35:41It's a long story.
00:35:42She needs to eat.
00:35:44Bring the next course.
00:35:45Holy shit!
00:35:46Did he just publicly claim her?
00:35:51Eat.
00:35:51What?
00:35:52I'm heading out to take a call.
00:35:57I'm going to the restroom.
00:36:01Finally.
00:36:01It's over.
00:36:02Wow, Aria.
00:36:03You're terrified of him, aren't you?
00:36:05I am not.
00:36:06Aren't you?
00:36:08Julian?
00:36:10Nah.
00:36:11I keep this locked in the vault for emergencies.
00:36:14He looks exactly the same.
00:36:15Well, well, Mr. Vance.
00:36:18Shouldn't you be inside doting on your new bride?
00:36:23I need you to do something for me.
00:36:25Is there anything in this world Julian Vance can't handle with a blank check?
00:36:29It's an old case.
00:36:30Five years ago.
00:36:31M. Hayes fatal crash.
00:36:33I want you to tear the NYPD police report and the Astor family's NDIs apart.
00:36:38We are going to clear her name.
00:36:46See?
00:36:48Exactly the same death glare.
00:36:51I'm sending this to you.
00:36:52We need to exchange numbers anyway for the Met Gala fittings, right?
00:36:58Are we done here?
00:37:00Time to go.
00:37:05You're still awake.
00:37:06Chase actually wants me to design his Met Gass suit.
00:37:08Do you know what this means?
00:37:09If a global icon walks the carpet in Maison Aria,
00:37:13it's the ultimate middle thing to Sloan and the Astro board.
00:37:16Lucky him.
00:37:17You're going to make him look way better than he actually is.
00:37:20Julian, I have to tell you a secret.
00:37:23Oh?
00:37:23Chase told me something highly classified about your time at the Hamptons estate.
00:37:28He said,
00:37:29When you were five, you were so terrified of thunderstorms
00:37:32that you hid in the antique Armage and pewed your pants!
00:37:35Chase, Sterling.
00:37:36You think this is funny, Mrs. Vance?
00:37:38I think you need a reminder of exactly who you belong to.
00:38:00Julian, maybe you should wait in the car. I'm just delivering some clothes. I'll be out in a second.
00:38:08We go together.
00:38:14Mr. Julie?
00:38:16Hello.
00:38:19Hello, I am Aria from Maison Aria. I'm here to deliver Mrs. Vance custom gown.
00:38:33Mrs. Vance, your gown is finished.
00:38:36Certainly make yourself at home, young lady. No announcement, no appointment.
00:38:40Do you make a habit of bypassing estate security to barge into private homes?
00:38:44My apologies, Mrs. Vance. I overstepped.
00:38:47Would you like to try the gown on first, to ensure the fit meets your expectations?
00:38:53Why are you glaring at her? Your daughter-in-law asked you a question.
00:38:58Daughter-in-law?
00:39:02It's a pleasure to officially meet you, Mrs. Vance. I'm Aria.
00:39:05Oh, please, sit down, my dear. I knew you were hiding a brilliant streak at the Etiri.
00:39:09Don't mind Julian. If he ever gives you trouble, just let me know.
00:39:12I have the most ruthless divorce attorneys in Manhattan on speed dial.
00:39:15No, no. He treats me very well.
00:39:23Mom, would you like to try on the gown? We can check the fit and see if the Artidic embroidery
00:39:27meets your expectations.
00:39:32Oh, absolutely.
00:39:36Why didn't you tell me the client was your mother?
00:39:38Do you have any idea how humiliated I felt marching in here?
00:39:41I wanted to give you a surprise.
00:39:45Stop stressing. She likes you.
00:39:47And once she sees that archival stitch work you mastered, she'll worship the ground you walk on.
00:39:56Aria, is it a bit tight around the middle?
00:39:58I haven't been to my Plotty's instructor lately and I worry it shows.
00:40:01It's stunning. The cut is specifically tailored to elongate your silhouette.
00:40:04It hides everything and highlights your elegance.
00:40:06I swear, it looks like it was woven purely for you.
00:40:08Liar. Nobody wears a gown better than you.
00:40:11Aria, come with me to the study.
00:40:13Let's have a private chat. Just the two of us.
00:40:18The blank check from the Burton. And an NDA?
00:40:21She's going to buy me off!
00:40:23Julian, help me!
00:40:24So, did the formidable Beatrix Barron slide a $5 million check across the mahogany table and told you to leave
00:40:29her billionaire son alone? Spill it, babe.
00:40:31No checks, Harper. Julian's mother, she was incredible. She actually recognized the vintage embroidery techniques my mother used for mason
00:40:37aura. She looked at my work like it meant something, not like it was garbage.
00:40:39That's because it is art, Aria. You married the right guy, a Vance who actually shields you. When we finally
00:40:45rip that toxic conservatorship to shreds and expose Sloane for the fraud she is, you'll be standing next to Julian
00:40:49in the spotlight completely untouchable.
00:40:53He is laying his empire at my feet. My ultimate safe haven.
00:41:03Natalie, do we have the legal grounds to rip it wide open?
00:41:22Hello?
00:41:23Aria, it's Chase! Are you free today? We need to lock in the aesthetic for my film festival look!
00:41:30You promise, no bailing?
00:41:33Y-you're seriously letting me design for you?
00:41:35Hell yes! As real as it gets, I'll text you the address of a members club in Soho. Hurry up!
00:41:40I can't wait to shock the world!
00:41:49I'll be right there.
00:41:54What the hell are you doing here? Who let you in?
00:41:56Chase, did you forget? I'm the one personally designing your look for the upcoming Met Gala.
00:42:05Are you delusional, Sloane? Or just deaf?
00:42:11Chase, what do you mean?
00:42:12I mean exactly what I said.
00:42:14Oh, right. I did say I wanted a new designer for the Gala. Do you want to know why?
00:42:19Why?
00:42:19Because your designs are absolute, unmitigated trash. Those so-called masterpieces you've been putting out recently, they look like cheap,
00:42:27fast fashion knockoffs. If I wore that crap on the red carpet, I'd be crucified by every fashion critic on
00:42:33Twitter. I fired you, Sloane. Move on.
00:42:36Thanks, Sterling! I won the CFA Emerging Designer Award! There is no one in this industry who can design better
00:42:43for you than me!
00:42:44I want to see what kind of blind, desperate nobody dares to steal my spot. Fine. Let's see what kind
00:42:50of cheap trash you're hiding behind.
00:43:05What are you doing here?
00:43:08What's wrong, my good sister?
00:43:11Same here.
00:43:13Are you disappointed?
00:43:17Keep your distance, Chase. She's dangerous. She's a straight-up murderer. Ran someone over and got off scammy because the
00:43:23court said she's insane.
00:43:25Ah! What the hell are you doing? Let go of me!
00:43:31You just gave me a reminder of a perfect legal loophole.
00:43:34I'm officially insane on paper.
00:43:37Slept once, and almost anything I do is technically untouchable.
00:43:43Hurry up!
00:43:46Don't you dare!
00:43:49Tell me, if this hand's permanently broken, if you can't trace a single stolen sketch ever again,
00:43:56how long before your precious board realizes you've been faking it the whole time?
00:44:00You wouldn't dare! One wrong move and Tristan will tear you apart!
00:44:04Do you even realize how obsessed he is with me?
00:44:07Oh, really? Let's put that to the test. Turn you into a useless cripple, and see if your precious Tristan
00:44:15tosses you aside like yesterday's trash, just like you did to me.
00:44:26Chase!
00:44:27Chase! Tell me you saw that! She's completely lost it! She just attacked me! Get her out of here, now!
00:44:37The only person who needs to get out is you.
00:44:44Sloney Astor, your entire Girlboss brand is a PR star.
00:44:49Did you honestly think my team didn't know you used ghost designers? Your work is soulless trash.
00:44:54You really thought you could buy your way onto my red carpet with a fake portfolio?
00:44:58Get out. I don't lay hands on trash, it ruins the brand.
00:45:01But I'd be more than happy to have my security team drag you out by those fake extensions.
00:45:10Oh, you better watch out, Arya! I'm telling Tristan every single thing!
00:45:15Let's see you try to spin your crazy stunts to him!
00:45:20Pathetic, washed up lunatic, that's all you are!
00:45:30If you think I'm insane, that's okay. I'm sorry for disturbing you. I'll head out.
00:45:37I'm sorry! Please, I just want you as my designer! No one else!
00:45:42Look, you already committed minor assault today. Don't let taking your anger out on me be your second crime!
00:45:47I promise I'll be the most obedient client ever! Don't be sad, okay?
00:45:51I'll do that stupid viral TikTok dance my publicist explicitly forbade me from doing!
00:45:59Alright, enough. Get up. I'll take the job.
00:46:02Yes! The Queen has spoken!
00:46:08If you think you can take what's mine, you're dead.
00:46:22Pull it together.
00:46:23Check X right now! It's an absolute bloodbath!
00:46:27What happened?
00:46:28You're straight up trending number one all over the internet right now.
00:46:31Sloane did this on purpose. She leaked those photos of you with Chase on purpose to mislead everyone.
00:46:37Harper! Are Chase's stakes always this unhinged?
00:46:39He's Hollywood's golden boy. Any woman caught breathing near him gets ripped to shreds.
00:46:44And Sloane intentionally leaked your conservatorship and manslaughter history.
00:46:47She's trying to drive you to suicide.
00:46:49I need to draft a statement from the Mason Aura official count.
00:46:52I'll leak our DMs proving I'm just designing his red carpet to tax.
00:46:55It won't work! The narrative has already spiraled.
00:46:57Sloane's bot farms are driving the algorithm. Anything you say now is just damage control.
00:47:02Then what do I do?
00:47:03Go to your husband! Learn to weaponize him!
00:47:05If the sky is falling, let Julian hold it up!
00:47:08Julian...
00:47:14Julian!
00:47:15I fucked up!
00:47:17I swear to God on my next Oscar nad, I didn't touch a single hair on Aria's head!
00:47:21Julian, man, say something. This silence is killing me.
00:47:24I've already got my Crisis PDR team working overtime.
00:47:26We'll wipe this mess off the internet.
00:47:28And if that's still not enough, then punch me! Seriously, seriously, just hit me!
00:47:34What?
00:47:35Stand up.
00:47:36Huh?
00:47:37Stop panicking.
00:47:38Spin it.
00:47:40Let PR make the rumors official.
00:47:42Wait, what?
00:47:44You want me to confirm it?
00:47:46You're literally ordering me to play the oblivious billionaire cucklert for the tablades?
00:47:57Call your PR team off. Tell them to stand down. Let it burn.
00:48:02Weaponize the hate. The harder your stands tear her apart now, the higher the vicaricity climbs.
00:48:07When the momentum peaks on the night of the Met Gala, you'll walk that red carpet in front of the
00:48:12world's media and announce area as your exclusive haute couture designer.
00:48:16Damn! Julian, that's sick!
00:48:18Hijacking Sloney's smear campaign.
00:48:20And turning it into the most insane reverse marketing play fashion has ever seen for Mason Aria.
00:48:25Nobody thinks five moves ahead like you.
00:48:37Sloney, you already caught Aria with Chase on camera. Why not destroy her properly?
00:48:43Let his deranged fan base know she's an institutionized killer.
00:48:47Cancel culture will drown her before she even realizes what's happening. Wouldn't that be delicious?
00:48:56Mum, that's amateur thinking. Twitter mobs fade in a week.
00:48:59A few cruel tweets won't destroy Aria.
00:49:02My endgame isn't some cheap online pile-on.
00:49:09Then what is it?
00:49:12Mum, do you remember Maya Hayes? Liam Hayes' sister?
00:49:18Exactly. If Mia finds out that the murderer who ran over her beloved brother is not only out of the
00:49:22psych bash, but rubbing elbows with Hollywood royalty...
00:49:25Tell me, with Mia's volatile addict tendencies, don't you think she'd hunt Aria down and demand blood for blood?
00:49:28We let the junkie do our dirty work. You really are brilliant, Sloney.
00:49:39Aria Astor.
00:49:44You killed my brother! You murdering bitch! How is it fair? Liam is rotting in the ground, and you get
00:49:51to live like a queen!
00:50:02Aria Astor.
00:50:05Holy shit! That antique lace restoration is museum tier! Chase is destroying the carpet!
00:50:11Chase! The blogs say you're bringing your mystery girlfriend tonight! Where is she? Is the psycho too scared to show
00:50:17her face?
00:50:18Let me clear the air right here and now. I am single. The rumors about a secret girlfriend are complete
00:50:24garbage.
00:50:25Not a girlfriend! Then why all the sneak photos? Does she have dirt on you?
00:50:33She's not exactly a newcomer. But I do have immense admiration for her genius.
00:50:40This armor I'm wearing tonight was handcrafted by her. She isn't just my exclusive designer. She is a master of
00:50:47hand embroidery and more importantly the rightful heir to True Orkator.
00:50:50Please welcome my brilliant designer, Miss Aria Astor.
00:51:06Holy shit! Is that actually hand-stitched?
00:51:10She looks like old money. There's no way a killer looks like that.
00:51:14Oh my god! The craftsmanship! It completely obliterates Sloan's entire portfolio!
00:51:22You newbies don't get it. She's the legitimate heiress. Aria Astor.
00:51:27Wait, the heiress?
00:51:31She used to be our actual head designer. We swept international awards back then. True genius.
00:51:46You are literally slaying right now. They're hypnotized. If Julian sees this stream, he's gonna lose his mind.
00:51:57A knife! Someone's got a knife!
00:52:00She killed my brother in a hidden run! She's a murderer!
00:52:06A murderer?
00:52:07Miss Astor, is what she said true? Did you really run someone over?
00:52:12Rumor has it you vanished for five years because you were locked up in Serenity Pines.
00:52:16Were you put under a conservatorship because you killed a man during a psychotic break?
00:52:24I didn't... possibly...
00:52:32You're safe now.
00:52:34Is that the CEO of Vance Global?
00:52:36What is he doing here?
00:52:39Mr. Vance, are you here for Miss Astor?
00:52:43I am.
00:52:45Mr. Vance certainly has a dark sense of humor.
00:52:48I saw an altercation.
00:52:50I handled it.
00:52:51Let's not play games, Mr. Vance.
00:52:53A Wall Street Titan running a multi-billion dollar private equity empire doesn't just stroll onto a red carpet to
00:52:58play White Knight.
00:52:59I'm not here to play hero.
00:53:01I saw you harassing my designer, so I ended it.
00:53:04Miss Astor is under exclusive contract with Vance Global.
00:53:08You believed you could come after her without consequences.
00:53:11You made a very expensive mistake.
00:53:12Mr. Vance, if I may be so bold, what exactly is Miss Astor designing for you?
00:53:20A wedding dress.
00:53:25You're getting married?!
00:53:26Congratulations, Mr. Vance!
00:53:28Can you reveal which lucky heiress won your heart?
00:53:30Is she from an old money dynasty?
00:53:34Don't.
00:53:35Julian, please, they'll ruin Vance Global.
00:53:37She doesn't come from a blue blood dynasty.
00:53:39There's no trust fund padding her bank account.
00:53:46But she is my wife.
00:53:48And she is untouchable.
00:54:03But she is my wife.
00:54:05What are you spiraling about?
00:54:10Didn't you hear what Julian Vance just broadcasted to the entire internet?
00:54:16He said the woman he's marrying doesn't come from a dynasty and has no trust fund.
00:54:24Aria is legally the eldest daughter of the Astor Empire.
00:54:27She has a multi-million dollar trust fund set up by her mother.
00:54:30If Julian was marrying her, why the hell would he say that?
00:54:34Not Aria. As long as it's not Aria.
00:54:38Mum, if the new Mrs. Vance isn't Aria, then it has to be...
00:54:42Harper Quinn!
00:54:44Harper Quinn? That low-life blue-collar trash?
00:54:47Oh, calm down, will you? Did Julian Vance issue a press release naming Harper?
00:54:51You're spiraling over unconfirmed Upper East Side gossip.
00:54:53But Harper Quinn? That slave from the bottom?
00:54:55How in God's name does someone like her marry into the Vances?
00:54:58There's no way this isn't a mistake!
00:55:00Fine. I'll handle it.
00:55:02A loose tongue in that so-called inner circle?
00:55:09Mia Hayes.
00:55:11You truly are the perfect disposable weapon.
00:55:21Sloney, it's a disaster. A total disaster!
00:55:26Mum!
00:55:28What happened? What's a disaster?
00:55:31It's Harper Quinn.
00:55:33The woman that ruthless bastard Julian is actually marrying is Harper Quinn!
00:55:43How is this happening? How?
00:55:49Crazy people are all crazy!
00:55:52Mum, check the comments!
00:55:53We're being cancelled into non-existence!
00:55:56Relax. It's just Aria, that desperate little parasite trying to crawl over our bodies to get a taste of power.
00:56:01She wouldn't survive a day without Harper Quinn holding her hand.
00:56:04Harper Quinn? That walking disaster from the Midwest?
00:56:07She snags Julian Vance while I'm left standing here?
00:56:09Laughable! That spot was mine!
00:56:14Don't panic. Put it on speaker.
00:56:17Dad.
00:56:18Sloney, I leave you in charge of the creative direction.
00:56:22And look at the market today!
00:56:23Wall Street is shorting us into oblivion!
00:56:26You have disappointed me!
00:56:27It's Aria, Dad!
00:56:29She's poaching my VIP clients!
00:56:31She's running a smear campaign on Twitter to ruin us!
00:56:33If she's snatching your clients, Sloane, it's because her work is better.
00:56:37Admit it!
00:56:38Are you really as creatively branked as Dite Petter keeps groaning about?
00:56:41No, I'm just...
00:56:42The pressure from the Spring Cottage Tour show for Fashion Week is just getting to me.
00:56:46Don't screw this up, Sloane.
00:56:47If this runway show tanks, I'll have no choice but to shove your sister back into the CCO chair.
00:56:52And when that happens, you'll have no one to blame but your own incompetence.
00:56:57Mom, if I don't turn this around at the runway show, he's gonna replace me!
00:57:02Get up!
00:57:03You've still got Tristan Shaw in your corner!
00:57:05With Shaw real estate's bailout and his proposal at the runway's end, this PR stunt will send our stock to
00:57:10the moon!
00:57:12You're right.
00:57:14Tristan, I'm going to find him right now.
00:57:19After fashion stops in three-four...
00:57:21Two halts already.
00:57:22Julian is short-sailing to death.
00:57:25He's putting Sloane and Valerie's heads on a silver platter for everyone to see.
00:57:28By the way, you live with a walking Michelangelo sculptor who controls the GDP of a small European nation.
00:57:33Haven't you...sealed the deal yet?
00:57:36Someone's here. Gotta go.
00:57:42Consider this my ultimate retainer fee.
00:57:45Pop the cork, get some liquid courage, and climb him like a tree.
00:57:52Aria, you are drinking.
00:57:54You're home.
00:57:56You better give me a damn good reason.
00:57:57You know what alcohol does with your choristorol lines.
00:58:00Are you going to...punish me, Mr. Vance?
00:58:03Are you sure?
00:58:05Please.
00:58:16Fine. I'll let you cry this once.
00:58:18But mark my words.
00:58:19Never again.
00:58:21Julian, you're all I have left.
00:58:23Having me is enough.
00:58:24I know you're having me.
00:58:41What's wrong?
00:58:43Didn't get a good enough look last night.
00:58:45Want me to take the rest off for you?
00:58:47No.
00:58:49Get up and eat.
00:58:50The doctor warned that the heavy lung medication from the sanatorium has damaged your stomach liner.
00:58:54You can't skip your meals.
00:58:56Also, today we have to go to the pee club.
00:58:58Everyone else is waiting for you.
00:59:02Is that your psycho sister?
00:59:03How did a mental patient get past the board?
00:59:05You need a billionaire's signature just to use the lobby bathroom.
00:59:08Look who brought her here.
00:59:10Harper Quinn.
00:59:11Otherwise, how else could a bottomed Flilla like her even lay eyes on Julian Vance?
00:59:16She must have slept her way into this privilege.
00:59:19Sloan, are you sure?
00:59:21Vance doesn't exactly do working class.
00:59:23And look at the way he's staring at your sister.
00:59:26Constance Vance said it herself.
00:59:28Julian's fiance isn't a socialite.
00:59:30Who else could it be but that peasant Harper?
00:59:34Sloan!
00:59:35You won't believe this!
00:59:37Look!
00:59:38Aria is seducing Harper Quinn's husband!
00:59:40Are you sure about this?
00:59:50Harper Quinn.
00:59:51Do you honestly think a piece of low-life scum like her could ever hold onto the title of Mrs.
00:59:56Vance?
00:59:57You still have the leisure to worry about others?
01:00:00Astra fashion stock keeps plummeting because of your mum's scandal of using her connections to advance a girl.
01:00:06Richard is probably hiding in the corner office taking Auntie Annie's like candy.
01:00:10Have you thought about a PR strategy?
01:00:13I have a fiancé.
01:00:15Tristan's family office can wire a bailout before the opening bell without so much as flinching.
01:00:20That's the kind of confidence only someone truly wanted carries.
01:00:25Discarded trash like you wouldn't even comprehend it.
01:00:30Tristan might throw his trust fund at your deficit.
01:00:34But when your stolen stash of my archives runs out, can he buy you a ghostwriter to save your career?
01:00:41Five years scurrying around using my sketches for your fake awards.
01:00:47You can't sketch a single new collection.
01:00:50Do you really think the board will bow to a fraud?
01:00:53Shut up!
01:00:55Richard only worships a prophet.
01:00:57A useless chief creative officer, do you really think he'd hand you the CEO seat?
01:01:01Remember, little sister, what you steal never truly becomes yours.
01:01:09Aria!
01:01:13Professor Vivian and Clark's Lifetime Achievement Gala used to be her prized prodigy.
01:01:18Don't you want to go?
01:01:19You're a walking PR disaster.
01:01:21A psych-wad alum with a Mansfield record.
01:01:23I think she'd ever acknowledge you now.
01:01:25You're nothing but a stain on her legacy.
01:01:28Right now, her most brilliant prodigy is me.
01:01:55Aria, are you okay?
01:01:59I'm alright.
01:02:00Just a little stumble, don't worry about it.
01:02:03Aria, look at me.
01:02:05Stop staring into the shadows.
01:02:08You won't fall unless I allow it, and I never miss my mark.
01:02:11Now let's get out of this godforslaking place.
01:02:17Look at her, swept the CFDA awards.
01:02:20She's practically Parsons crown jewel now.
01:02:22Obsessed with her new collection, a prodigy in the era of fast fashion.
01:02:30You won't fall.
01:02:33You won't fall.
01:02:35You won't fall.
01:02:38You won't fall.
01:02:38You won't fall.
01:02:39You won't fall.
01:02:40You won't fall.
01:02:40Professor Clark, apologies for the delay.
01:02:43Happy birthday.
01:02:45Happy birthday, Professor.
01:02:47Wishing you endless health and continued inspiration.
01:02:49Thank you, my dear.
01:02:51You're too kind.
01:02:56I prepared this specifically for you.
01:02:58Hundreds of hours hand-stitching every single detail.
01:03:01I hope you love it.
01:03:03Oh, Sloan, you shouldn't have.
01:03:05The crown and the lion, power and wisdom.
01:03:09Presenting this to my fashion godmother, it is destined to create a sensation.
01:03:13Beautiful.
01:03:14Your craftsmanship has surpassed all my expectations.
01:03:17You call that derivative?
01:03:20Machine made of Papel J craftsmanship?
01:03:32How?
01:03:32How could a psycho who spent five years locked in a rehab center still command a room like this?
01:03:38Happy birthday, Professor Clark.
01:03:40A token of my deepest gratitude.
01:03:42Look at you, Aria.
01:03:43Dressed in couture, but even your own mentor thinks you're a monster.
01:03:47Professor Clark,
01:03:49this is something I have painstakingly sewn by hand, stitch by stitch,
01:03:54after countless sleepless nights, for your longevity.
01:03:58Are you telling me you're not going to accept it?
01:04:01Today is my mother's birthday. How dare you address her in that tone?
01:04:04Have you no breeding at all?
01:04:05Aria! You and your classless friend are not welcome here.
01:04:08Security, throw them out immediately.
01:04:11Excuse me, sir.
01:04:12Is this overly biox chihuahua yapping at your side?
01:04:15Your latest sugar baby?
01:04:17Aria, if you utter one more word of trash, I swear I'll rip your mouth off!
01:04:30Oh my god, look at that stitching.
01:04:32It's museum grade. Compared to this, Sloan's peacock dress looks like cheap sheen trash.
01:04:37Using the celestial bestiali, this one piece is worth a fortune.
01:04:40Yet Sloan hasn't touched a sketchbook in half a year. It definitely raises some eyebrows.
01:04:51Mr. Vance! Mr. Young! What an honor!
01:04:56We're not here for you. We are here to see director Leon.
01:05:02Director Leon! I'm Sloan Aster, the creative director of Aster Fashion. I just won a major international award. I would
01:05:10love the opportunity to sketch for your new film.
01:05:14My apologies, Mrs. Aster. Regarding the costume design for the epic, my team is moving forward with Aria.
01:05:22Why?
01:05:23Mr. Vance showed me her portfolio. The collision of antique restoration and modern avant-garde. That is authentic artistry.
01:05:32Professor, are you seeing this? She's not here to honor you. That tapestry was just a prop for a casting
01:05:38cowage.
01:05:39Aria, is what she's saying actually true?
01:05:44Professor, when pride eclipses reality, there's nothing left to say. Keep the tapestry. Think of it as my farewell.
01:05:54Director Leon, since I've outstayed my welcome, coffee somewhere else?
01:06:01When the mother's consumed by tenure, is it any wonder the son can't even read a room?
01:06:06Julian, we need to rethink that $2 billion merger with the Finch Group. It's too risky.
01:06:10Mr. Vance, the deal is dead. Vance Global is pulling all capital from the Finch Group. Effective immediately.
01:06:22You toxic parasite! Get out of my sight! My mother's cutting every last tie with you! You're finished in this
01:06:28town!
01:06:38Arthur. Professor. My apologies for this absolute spectacle.
01:06:47Harper! Wait!
01:06:49Move aside, Sloan. Even the strays know when to keep their mouths shut.
01:06:54You just got humiliated in front of every elite in Manhattan.
01:06:57Shouldn't you be crawling into a hole instead of making a scene here?
01:07:01Don't get too smug. You think Aria is some saint?
01:07:05Let me show you how your best friend really stabs you in the back.
01:07:09Did this bitch replace her frontal mold with lip filler? Touching her own husband is now considered a scandal?
01:07:15See this? Aria is having a secret rendezvous with Julian Vance.
01:07:18She's sleeping with your husband. You treat her like a sister.
01:07:21And you're defending the bitch who's playing house with him behind your back?
01:07:24Impossible! Aria would never do this to me!
01:07:26This is Photoshop. Do you think I'm stupid?
01:07:28Wake up, Harper. She's a social climbing parasite who will do anything to get ahead.
01:07:32She stole my spotlight and now she's stealing your husband.
01:07:35Shut up! Don't try to manipulate me!
01:07:42Once Harper Quinn stops shielding you, you won't last a day in this city, Aria.
01:07:47Leon, I will have the preliminary sketches for the historical epic sent to your office by next week.
01:07:52I look forward to our collaboration.
01:07:54The pleasure is entirely mine, Aria.
01:08:06We got the deal.
01:08:07Ah, I knew it! You are an absolute queen!
01:08:10Babies, I have the most unhinged gossip for you.
01:08:12Sloney, that little toxic bitch actually hired a PII to follow you.
01:08:16She showed me a photo of you and Julian at the coffee shop.
01:08:18Trying to convince me you're a homewrecker sleeping with my husband?
01:08:21Can you believe that?
01:08:22She seriously thinks I'm Mrs. Vance?
01:08:25If she loves catching cheaters so much, then let's give her exactly what she wants.
01:08:30I feel like things are getting more and more interesting.
01:08:42Get your damn hands off me.
01:08:44Stop dragging me around like a reality TV extra.
01:08:47If someone from Page Six sees us, it's a PR nightmare.
01:08:52Whatever.
01:08:53I'll let your little meltdown slide this time.
01:08:56Here's the key.
01:08:57Go inside.
01:08:58See for yourself.
01:08:59The ugly truth is right behind that door.
01:09:02Wait any longer.
01:09:03You might miss the climax.
01:09:06Impossible.
01:09:07Aria would never betray me.
01:09:09She's not that kind of social climber.
01:09:12Harper.
01:09:14Today, I am going to make you see exactly what kind of trash Aria Astor really is!
01:09:37Do you see it now?
01:09:39Right this second, your ride-or-die best friend is in there wrecking your marriage.
01:09:43No.
01:09:44It can't be.
01:09:45Aria wouldn't do this.
01:09:46I can't look.
01:09:47I'm leaving.
01:09:47You shameless, backstaffing bitch!
01:09:49I'll kill you!
01:09:51It's done.
01:09:53Aria is ruined.
01:09:55Shut the fuck up!
01:09:56Get the hell out of my room!
01:10:00Tristan?
01:10:02Slonin?
01:10:02Slonin?
01:10:04What the fuck did you do to me?!
01:10:06I didn't!
01:10:06Tristan, I swear!
01:10:08Sloan, you have to listen to me!
01:10:10Nothing happened!
01:10:10I was set up!
01:10:11Set up?!
01:10:12You dirty slut!
01:10:13I treated you like a sister and you crawled into my fiance's bed?!
01:10:17I'll kill you!
01:10:19I'll ruin you!
01:10:36Dad?
01:10:37You incompetent fool!
01:10:38Every single one of your EDX stunts was broadcasted live!
01:10:41Bass Metal has already launched a mass short attack on our stock!
01:10:42You've made us a laughing stock in front of every top clear investor on the East Coast!
01:10:47No, Dad, please!
01:10:48I can fix this!
01:10:49You're done, Sloan.
01:10:50As of now, you're suspended as creative director.
01:10:53Your trust fund's frozen.
01:10:54Pack up and get out!
01:11:03Tristan, you will marry me, won't you?
01:11:07Dad, please!
01:11:08Give me one more chance!
01:11:09My spring cost your show is ready!
01:11:11The pre-orders will be massive!
01:11:12The market doesn't care about your designs, Sloan.
01:11:15All it cares about is stability.
01:11:16And right now, you're the biggest risk to it.
01:11:21Tristan is going to propose at the finale!
01:11:24He's going to announce it in front of Vogue and WWD!
01:11:27A massive capital insuption from Shaw Real Estate disguised as a matrimonial alliance.
01:11:31It will trigger a massive stock rally!
01:11:33It's true, Richard.
01:11:34Tristan's mother and I have been finalizing the press release.
01:11:36Just let the girl have her moment.
01:11:38Fine.
01:11:39But if this runway crashes and burns Sloan,
01:11:41I'll personally hand your creative director type in to Aria,
01:11:43just to keep the board happy!
01:11:45Aria?
01:11:46You think carrying Julian Vance's black card makes you important?
01:11:49By tonight, I'll be Mrs. Shaw, and you'll be a cancelled joke no one will remember.
01:12:06Slonin, it's time to pay the piper.
01:12:17She's outdone herself.
01:12:19I thought she was facing burnout, but this?
01:12:21This is pure, unadulterated genius.
01:12:27This is my empire.
01:12:29These designs belong to me now.
01:12:34Slonin!
01:12:35Rumor has it Tristan Shaw is proposing today!
01:12:38Is a corporate merger on the horizon?
01:12:43You'll have to ask him yourselves very soon.
01:13:04Security!
01:13:05What are you doing here?
01:13:09I'm here to serve an eviction notice on my intellectual property.
01:13:20Good God, what is this?
01:13:22This is the exact design blueprint for the black lace embroidered gown we just saw in the finale.
01:13:27Look at the timestamps and the watermark.
01:13:30These are from five years ago!
01:13:32And the signature says Aria asks-
01:13:34Don't trust her!
01:13:35She's bipolar!
01:13:36A violent schizophrenic who escaped from a high security facility!
01:13:39Everything she has is a lie!
01:13:40She's killed before!
01:13:49You want to talk about forgery?
01:13:53I was a senior psychiatric nurse at Tranquil Woods.
01:13:56For five years, Sloane Astor forced me to sign iron clot NDAs and blackmailed me.
01:14:01She threatened to frame my son for felony drug possession if I didn't smuggle Aria's design sketches out of her
01:14:06solitary confinement center.
01:14:09Aria Astor never had bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.
01:14:12Sloane and her mother paid off our chief medical officer with offshore crypto to falsify the diagnosis.
01:14:16They abused the conservatorship laws to lock a perfectly sane woman in a black site just to steal her IP.
01:14:22Aria!
01:14:23I falsified the records to save you!
01:14:26You killed Liam Hayes!
01:14:28It was vehicular manslaughter!
01:14:30I put you in Tranquil Woods so you wouldn't rot in Rikers Island!
01:14:34I saved your life!
01:14:37You really think your murder for Hiaplatt was that airtight, Sloanean?
01:14:41Five years ago I underestimated you.
01:14:45But did you honestly believe you cleaned up your hypnons mess?
01:14:56Look.
01:14:58Look who's here to collect his debt.
01:15:13You know.
01:15:16Impossible.
01:15:19You're supposed to be dead!
01:15:29You're right.
01:15:30I came damn close.
01:15:34Sloane, Astor!
01:15:36You psychopathic bitch!
01:15:40You paid me in crypto!
01:15:42You actually hired me for a federal murder for Hyatt!
01:15:46And your brilliant plan?
01:15:47Frame your sister passed out in the driver's seat!
01:15:50I did your dirty work.
01:15:52And you ordered a hit to silence me?
01:15:55You're a fucking monster!
01:16:00I dragged that kid out of the passenger seat.
01:16:03He was begging me to save her.
01:16:05I dumped him in the intersection.
01:16:07And you watched from your car as I drove that Mack truck right over him.
01:16:13I waited at the Brooklyn docks like you said.
01:16:16And your mob fixers took a crowbo straight to my vertebrae.
01:16:19Dumped me in the East River like trash.
01:16:23Why didn't you go to the cops earlier?
01:16:31You think I dared?
01:16:32I was an accessory.
01:16:34On parole.
01:16:35You think the cops would believe a convicted felonman over an Astra?
01:16:38Five years I lived in the sewers.
01:16:41Every time I closed my eyes I saw that kid covered in blood, choking me.
01:16:48Demanding his life back!
01:16:50I can't do this anymore!
01:16:54Federal agents tracked me down anyway!
01:16:57So, I'm taking a plea deal!
01:17:00I'm burning your whole fake empire to the ground you psychopathic bitch!
01:17:08She loves running people over!
01:17:11Put her behind bars and throw away the key!
01:17:14Monster!
01:17:15Monster!
01:17:16Monster!
01:17:26Monster!
01:17:28Monster!
01:17:34Do you see this, Leum?
01:17:36I avenged you.
01:17:45Sloney's psychotic little vanity project just blew up in our faces
01:17:48Murder for hire, framing Arya
01:17:51Tell me right now, did you co-sign this federal suicide pact?
01:17:56I didn't know anything
01:17:58Sloney, she never told me
01:18:00I am innocent, Richard
01:18:05Get off me
01:18:11Oh my god
01:18:21Valerie Astor, you are under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder for hire, wire fraud and severe abuse of a
01:18:27medical consumptorship
01:18:30No, it wasn't me
01:18:32I didn't kill anyone
01:18:39Richard, save me
01:18:41I don't want to rot in federal prison
01:18:43Prosecutor Sterling, I can provide full documentation proving my fidere distance from their illicit activities
01:18:49I was completely be blindsided
01:18:51I need to see Arya, I am her biological father, I want to launch a joint press release to properly
01:18:55make amends
01:18:56Five years ago, you signed the conservorship papers and threw her into tranquil wills just to protect your board seat
01:19:02Arya Astor is now under the full protection of Julian Vance and his empire
01:19:05She doesn't need a late, disgusting father like you anymore
01:19:08You don't even deserve to look at her
01:19:10Defendant Sloan Astor, you engaged in systematic intellectual property theft
01:19:14To conceal your crimes you orchestrated a murder for hire plot in violation of 18CU 1958 and bribe medical professionals
01:19:19On all charges you are hereby remanded to the custody of the federal borough prisons for successive life terms without
01:19:24the possibility of parole
01:19:26Defendant Valerie Astor, found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder, accessory after the fact and wire fraud
01:19:33You are hereby sentenced to life in federal prison without the possibility of parole
01:19:37No, please, no
01:19:40No, let me go
01:19:42I don't want to die
01:19:49Where the hell am I?
01:19:56Welcome to my five-year hell
01:20:04What are you doing to me? Let me go
01:20:09Harper's lawyers filed a psychiatric evaluation with the federal judge
01:20:12Severe schizophrenia, antisocial personality disorder
01:20:15You've been deemed legally unfit to stand trial
01:20:18The judge remanded you to a maximum security facility
01:20:21And since Vance Global just acquired a controlling stake in Tranquil Woods
01:20:26You're going to spend the rest of your lives trapped in this very bed
01:20:29Under my personal supervision
01:20:36No! You can't do this!
01:20:39Tristan's in!
01:20:40Tristan will get me out!
01:20:41I'm the future Mrs. Shaw!
01:20:43Shaw Real Estate issued a press release this morning
01:20:45They condemned your actions
01:20:47Cut all ties with Astor Fashion
01:20:50And officially called off the engagement
01:20:53You're a liability, Sloney
01:20:54You've been dumped
01:20:59Bullshit!
01:21:00You stole him back, didn't you? Slit
01:21:02You'd screw Harper's husband just to climb the ladder
01:21:05You think Harper will let you get away with sleeping with Julian Vance?
01:21:14Read it
01:21:16No, this is a fake!
01:21:18There's no way Julian Vance would marry a psycho like you!
01:21:25Enjoy your stay in hell
01:21:27Oh, and don't worry about being lonely
01:21:29Valerie is in the cell right next to yours
01:21:32Aria, please
01:21:33I was wrong
01:21:34Just kill me, I'm begging you
01:21:36You and your mother need to burn in this hole
01:21:39It's the only way Liam can finally rest
01:21:43You bitch!
01:21:45I'll kill you!
01:21:46You're dead, Aria!
01:21:55It's done now
01:21:56I hate you
01:22:18Holy shit, it's Chase Sterling!
01:22:22Omni Media's CEO and a federal prosecutor?
01:22:25The security protocol makes sense now
01:22:34Julian Vance showed up in person?
01:22:37There's the Queen of the Hour
01:22:59Congratulations, Aria!
01:23:01May Mason Aura conquer the world
01:23:03To reclaiming your throne
01:23:04Thank you
01:23:05Thank you all for being here
01:23:13I took back what was ours
01:23:25She's happy now
01:23:27I'm leaving for Europe tomorrow
01:23:30You can finally rest, Liam
01:23:37Ms. Astra, Mr. Vance vehemently defended you at the Met Gala
01:23:41Is the CEO of Vance Global officially pursuing you?
01:23:45Mr. Vance, are you pursuing Ms. Aston?
01:23:54Oh my God, he's proposing!
01:23:56Aria, we started this in the shadows
01:23:59A contract
01:24:01Now I want it in the light
01:24:03Marry me for real
01:24:04Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes
01:24:10I do
01:24:19Today, under the banner of Mason Eora
01:24:21I make this official
01:24:23This is my wife, Aria Vance
