00:00:10They're coming!
00:00:46Excuse me? What are you looking for?
00:00:58Let's go.
00:01:15I owe you my life.
00:01:25Miss Arya has been waiting for you for a long time.
00:01:50They strip me of my trust fund, my IP, my identity. I have nothing.
00:02:03I just... I just need a fake engagement for one year. Once the NDA expires I will never bother you
00:02:11again.
00:02:14I guess it's still not working.
00:02:32I owe you my life.
00:02:38I must be losing my mind.
00:02:42My apologies for wasting your time.
00:02:51Let's get married.
00:03:00What did you just say?
00:03:27What did you do?
00:03:32Own the skyline.
00:03:32Own the skyline?
00:03:36I just want my life back, Julian. I'm not King Kong.
00:03:40What exactly did they do to you in that place?
00:03:45Are you serious about this?
00:03:48New York City Clerk's Office. Tomorrow morning, 10am. Don't be late.
00:03:53Fine.
00:03:5510am.
00:03:59This cluster of flowers boasts bright, vivid hues and a delicate subtle fragrance, breathtakingly beautiful in every way.
00:04:16You? Who authorized the termination of conservatorship?
00:04:21You deserve to rot in that asylum for the rest of your miserable life!
00:04:26What's wrong, Valerie? Are you disappointed? That I crawled my way back from hell.
00:04:37Aria? Are you having an episode? Did you wander off the facility grounds?
00:04:41Aria, what is the meaning of this?
00:04:43Who signed off on your release?
00:04:45The 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? Once you're cured, you can come home?
00:04:55And now, I am cured.
00:05:01You!
00:05:02You're supposed to stay in that facility forever!
00:05:07Sister, my point is, I mean, now that you're officially discharged, why haven't you reached out to father?
00:05:14We would have thrown you a welcome home party.
00:05:17Let's skip the family reunion act.
00:05:18I'm here for two things, my irresavable trust and my mother's brand.
00:05:22Sign the papers and I'm gone.
00:05:24Aria, honey, your father has been worried sick about you.
00:05:27The 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.
00:05:46Aria, my study. Now!
00:05:51I better pray your bulk's filled heart is strong enough.
00:05:55Because today is just the prelude.
00:06:04Take 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? Another involuntary hold?
00:06:16Ah!
00:06:20It 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.
00:06:48Your 10% could buy it 10 times over.
00:06:50How about this? You return to the Asta Group.
00:06:53Sloan 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.
00:07:13Aren't you terrified that a certified psychopath might just snap?
00:07:17That I might take this to Valerie and Sloan's freshly lifted faces?
00:07:21During those 1,800 days in that hellhole, I wished they were dead.
00:07:30I'll sign. I'll sign. I'll sign it. The knife. Put the knife down first.
00:07:40I'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 Masnara 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!
00:08:44What 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!
00:08:54Mum!
00:08:56Arya, have you completely lost it?
00:08:58Do you have any idea what you're doing?
00:09:00Arya...
00:09:00You...
00:09:01You really have lost your mind!
00:09:03Yes, I am.
00:09:06Officially insane, with paperwork to prove it.
00:09:09Why don't you make the call and have the NYPD come fetch me?
00:09:15Dad!
00:09:16She's having an episode!
00:09:22Arya!
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!
00:09:32Do not trigger her condition!
00:09:39Five 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!
00:09:47I'll bleed them dry for every ounce of pain they owe me.
00:09:51With compound interest.
00:10:05Why the hell are you still clinging to that crap?
00:10:08Toss it, Arya!
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?
00:10:24Treating a plagiarizing fraud and a trust fund frat boy like Manhattan's royal couple?
00:10:29Arya, Tristan, is marrying her.
00:10:33Are you?
00:10:33He can marry whoever he wants.
00:10:35It's a free country.
00:10:37Besides, I'm getting married too.
00:10:39Married?
00:10:39Who the hell didn't tell me?
00:10:41Julian Vance?
00:10:46Ten fucking minutes!
00:10:47And 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.
00:11:00No.
00:11:29A design-cammed NDA
00:11:31Is it really happening?
00:11:32Am I irrevocably binding my life to this man?
00:12:03Wait, aren't I supposed to keep a copy?
00:12:06I'll keep the paperwork. Think 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, you can just have the driver drop me off
00:12:19at my Brooklyn studio. I'll pack my things.
00:12:22I don't do long-distance marriages, Aria. You think those papers we just signed were just a formality?
00:12:28Don't tell me you still don't get it. That was a declaration. Defining you as mine. Forever.
00:12:34I... I understand.
00:12:39No separate living arrangements? Does that mean tonight is the wedding night?
00:13:04Are you running a fever? You're flushed?
00:13:06Uh, no. It's nothing. I swear, the A.C. is just really hot in here.
00:13:23Staff doesn't sleep in the main house. They only come during scheduled hours.
00:13:28Follow me.
00:13:31So that explains the chill. It's completely empty.
00:13:36He certainly doesn't look like the type who could share a roof with a stranger.
00:13:41Come with me. You're going to love it here.
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 the PR nightmare.
00:14:41Fine. But my mother, Petritz, already knows.
00:14:44That's fine. Just no press releases.
00:14:47Sure. 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.
00:15:04If the Aster family tries to step on you, you crush them.
00:15:07You 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.
00:15:26He survived five years in Stankful Woods.
00:15:29He can survive one night.
00:15:52This is totally cheating.
00:16:07You look so good in my arms.
00:16:12You look so beautiful.
00:16:20You look so beautiful.
00:16:46Oh, God. Not now.
00:17:01Aria, are you all right?
00:17:02I'm on my period.
00:17:05It came early.
00:17:08Give me a moment.
00:17:10I'll have Marcus make a midnight run to Duane Reaver.
00:17:21Don't abandon me.
00:17:24Don't abandon me.
00:17:28Go to sleep.
00:17:30I've got you.
00:17:38Julia.
00:17:41Drink this.
00:17:47Hold her down.
00:17:49Sedate the killer.
00:17:52Hold her down.
00:17:54Sedate the killer.
00:17:58Look at me.
00:18:00Look at me.
00:18:01Look at me.
00:18:03Aria.
00:18:04It's me.
00:18:06My one has hurt me.
00:18:07You are safe.
00:18:09I'm sorry.
00:18:11I woke you up.
00:18:13I can't keep you off the glass.
00:18:15Go back to sleep.
00:18:17I'm right there.
00:18:18No.
00:18:19Help me.
00:18:20Please help me.
00:18:21I'm not sick.
00:18:26I will hunt them down.
00:18:28And I will kill them.
00:18:36Had to head to Vance Global.
00:18:38Eat breakfast.
00:18:40Call if you need anything.
00:18:41Julian.
00:18:44Aria, babe.
00:18:45Tell me I'm not interrupting the billionaire honeymoon phase.
00:18:47Get to the point, Harper.
00:18:49Great news.
00:18:50I liquidated that old property your grandmother left you and so have.
00:18:52The funds hit the account.
00:18:53I cleared my schedule today.
00:18:54We are going straight to the broker to sign the lease for Mason Aura's new flagship studio.
00:18:58Let's go reclaim your empire.
00:19:00I'll be right there.
00:19:02You have excellent taste, ladies.
00:19:03This two-story retail space borders the highest foot traffic on Spring Street.
00:19:06The ground floor is perfect for a showroom, while the second floor offers absolute privacy
00:19:10for a high-end bespoke atelier.
00:19:11This is it.
00:19:12It's perfect for the rebirth of Mason Aura.
00:19:14Well, well.
00:19:15Look who it is.
00:19:17Aria Aster.
00:19:18Still stuck on Tristan, are we?
00:19:20Did he throw some spare change at you to buy this little dump so you'd stop stalking us?
00:19:24Keep your garbage mouth shut, Sloan.
00:19:26Oh my God, Sloaner.
00:19:28Look at what she's wearing.
00:19:29Is that supposed to be vintage Chanel?
00:19:31Oh wait, it's just thrift store trash.
00:19:34Did they let you keep your rags in the psycho hall?
00:19:37It's literally embarrassing that you're in a luxury real estate office looking like a homeless person.
00:19:42A homeless person?
00:19:43At least homeless people aren't a violent liability.
00:19:46Do you have any idea who you're dealing with?
00:19:47She was just released from a maximum security psychological facility.
00:19:50The court order was barely lit.
00:19:51Careful now.
00:19:52She's not just crazy.
00:19:53She's got a criminal record.
00:19:54She's a murderer.
00:19:55One wrong word and she might snap and kill you too.
00:19:57A murderer?
00:19:58How do you even sleep at night, Aria?
00:20:03You were behind the wheel.
00:20:06You killed Liam Hayes.
00:20:09His blood is literally on your hands, you psychotic murderer.
00:20:36You wanted a psycho?
00:20:39Let me show you crazy.
00:20:52Are you?
00:20:53How do you know?
00:21:02What?
00:21:10Aria, stop! She's not worth wrecking your life over!
00:21:21Please accept my deepest apologies, everyone. I take full responsibility. I made the mistake of taking her off her medication.
00:21:26Clearly that was reckless, letting a violently unstable patient roam free like this.
00:21:29Are you kidding me? Who let a psycho out of the psych ward?
00:21:32Shut up! All of you, shut the hell up! Aria is not sick!
00:21:37You Upper East Side hypocrites don't know a damn thing, so keep your toxic mouths shut!
00:21:43Wow. A viacular manslaughter suspect shopping for penthouses.
00:21:49Tell me, Aria, 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, coming back from hell to drag you down with him?
00:22:10Say that again.
00:22:15Sister, I've already contacted the private extraction team at Tranquility once.
00:22:21You're pulling up as you say.
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?
00:22:46It wasn't me! I wasn't the one driving!
00:22:48Somebody help!
00:22:49My sister's having a manic episode!
00:22:51Security, please!
00:22:52Come on!
00:23:02Clear the way!
00:23:03Conservative extraction team, step aside!
00:23:10Back 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?
00:23:35Sister, your scarf is crooked.
00:23:39Didn'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! What 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, Sclone Astor, caught attempting a felony kidnapping of a legally autonomous citizen.
00:24:11Stop recording! Put that down right now!
00:24:19Harper, call the NYPD.
00:24:22With pleasure.
00:24:22Perfect timing to submit my dossier on Tranquility Woods' systematic abuse.
00:24:27It was her!
00:24:29She wired our director offshore crypto!
00:24:31We didn't want to!
00:24:32You're lying!
00:24:34I 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.
00:25:00I'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, off her meds, totally unhinged!
00:25:08Broke as you are, you waltz into the priciest towers on Billionaire's Row,
00:25:13crawl back to whatever hole you came from and quit throwing a tantrum.
00:25:18None of your fucking business.
00:25:19Who gave you the impression Mrs. Van couldn't afford this?
00:25:26Mr. Van's 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.
00:25:41Are you out of your fucking life?
00:25:43You never loved me, did you?
00:25:47Not twist assholes, it'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, the closing wire happens today.
00:26:09We're not window shopping, darling, we're buying the building.
00:26:17Where's Julian?
00:26:18Mr. Vance is waiting outside, ma'am.
00:26:25Harper, handle the contracts.
00:26:31Murderer.
00:26:33Psychopath.
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.
00:26:55I'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?
00:27:03You 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?
00:27:14What 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, he became a sunk cost.
00:27:22Why 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.
00:27:48Still 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.
00:28:10The embroidery, unforgivable.
00:28:13Factory-lined trash masquerading as couture.
00:28:16Your eyes razor sharp.
00:28:17They went with basic one-sided machine stitching, padded 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?
00:28:52Someone 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.
00:29:12Besides, 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.
00:29:50It was you!
00:29:52Aria, you killed Liam!
00:29:55She's manic officers.
00:29:57Completely detached from reality.
00:30:00She's a murderer.
00:30:06Aria.
00:30:07Aria, wake up.
00:30:08Don't be afraid.
00:30:09I'm right here by your side.
00:30:10I'm not crazy!
00:30:11No more injections!
00:30:12Get away!
00:30:13Aria, it's over.
00:30:14It's me, Julian.
00:30:15I'm right here.
00:30:16No one will ever dare hurt you again.
00:30:30Mr. Vance.
00:30:31Marcus.
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.
00:30:46First thing tomorrow morning.
00:30:48Sloan.
00:30:49Valerie.
00:30:50Richard.
00:30:51Enjoy your trust funds while you can.
00:30:54I'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.
00:31:12He locked her in Serenity Pines.
00:31:13It's a black site site.
00:31:15Medical logs show orderlies use tactical battens for restraint protocols.
00:31:20Three broken ribs.
00:31:21Bone fragments nearly punched her lung.
00:31:24She was left on the concrete floor to suffocate.
00:31:30Julian.
00:31:32I'm so sorry.
00:31:34Last night.
00:31:35I 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.
00:31:43Got it?
00:31:44Now, go get some food.
00:31:48Mr. Vance.
00:31:50Dr. Eris is here.
00:31:52Are 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, stop.
00:32:11I told you I'm not sick.
00:32:12Why don't you believe me?
00:32:14You 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.
00:32:25It's the aftermath of extreme cold exposure combined with prolonged malnutrition.
00:32:29The underlying tissue damage is severe.
00:32:32It triggers violent spasms and coughing flicks in her lungs.
00:32:35Can it be reversed?
00:32:36Absolutely, 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?
00:33:02I promise.
00:33:02I won't miss a single dose.
00:33:04No 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?
00:33:11Do I need to dress up?
00:33:12No.
00:33:13Only my closest.
00:33:14A disgraced heiress.
00:33:15Keep 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?
00:33:21Yet he's pulling me right in.
00:33:22And he said,
00:33:24We 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.
00:33:41I'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?
00:33:55Nice 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 them.
00:34:17It's garbage.
00:34:22I 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 fraud?
00:34:45Chase, Silas Young, CEO of Omnibedia, and 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 a 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?
00:35:33I haven't exactly been keeping up with pop culture.
00:35:37I was away in a facility upstate, completely off the grid.
00:35:41It's a long story.
00:35:43She needs to eat.
00:35:44Bring the next course.
00:35:46Holy shit!
00:35:47Did he just publicly claim her?
00:35:51Eat.
00:35:52I'm heading out to take a call.
00:35:57I'm going to the restroom.
00:36:01Finally.
00:36:02It's over.
00:36:03Wow, Aria.
00:36:04You're terrified of him, aren't you?
00:36:05I am not.
00:36:06Aren't you?
00:36:08Julian?
00:36:11Nah.
00:36:11I keep this locked in the vault for emergencies.
00:36:14He looks exactly the same.
00:36:16Well, 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.
00:36:32The M. 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?
00:37:10If a global icon walks the carpet in Maison Aria, it's the ultimate middle thing to Sloan and the Astro
00:37:16board.
00:37:17Lucky him.
00:37:17You're going to make him look way better than he actually is.
00:37:21Julian, 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 that you hid in the antique armage and pewed your
00:37:35pants.
00:37:35Chase, Sterling, you 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.
00:38:02I'm just delivering some clothes.
00:38:03I'll be out in a second.
00:38:08We go together.
00:38:14Mr. Julie?
00:38:16Hello.
00:38:20Hello, I am Aria from Maison Aria.
00:38:22I'm here to deliver Mrs. Vance's custom gown.
00:38:34Mrs. Vance, your gown is finished.
00:38:36Certainly make yourself at home, young lady.
00:38:38No announcement, no appointment.
00:38:40Do you make it a habit of bypassing estate security to barge into private homes?
00:38:45My apologies, Mrs. Vance.
00:38:46I 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?
00:38:55Your daughter-in-law asked you a question.
00:38:58Daughter-in-law?
00:39:02It's a pleasure to officially meet you, Mrs. Vance.
00:39:05I'm Aria.
00:39:05Oh, please, sit down, my dear.
00:39:07I knew you were hiding a brilliant streak at the Etiri.
00:39:10Don't mind, Julian.
00:39:10If 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.
00:39:16He treats me very well.
00:39:23Mom, would you like to try on the gown?
00:39:25We can check the fit and see if the artetic embroidery meets 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.
00:39:47She 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 Pilates instructor lately, and I worry it shows.
00:40:01It's stunning.
00:40:02The 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.
00:40:09Liar.
00:40:09Nobody wears a gown better than you.
00:40:11Aria, come with me to the study.
00:40:14Let's have a private chat.
00:40:15Just the two of us.
00:40:18The blank check from the Burton.
00:40:20And 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
00:40:29and told you to leave her billionaire son alone?
00:40:30Spill it, babe.
00:40:31No checks, Harper.
00:40:32Julian's mother, she was incredible.
00:40:34She actually recognized the vintage embroidery techniques my mother used for Mason aura.
00:40:37She looked at my work like it meant something, not like it was garbage.
00:40:40Just because it is art, Aria, you marry the right guy, a Vance who actually shields you.
00:40:44When we finally rip that toxic conservatorship to shreds and expose Sloane for the fraud she is,
00:40:48you'll be standing next to Julian in the spotlight, completely untouchable.
00:40:53He is laying his empire at my feet.
00:40:55My ultimate safe haven.
00:41:03Natalie, do we have the legal grounds to rip it wide open?
00:41:24Aria, it's Chase!
00:41:25Are you free today?
00:41:27We need to lock in the aesthetic for my film festival look!
00:41:30You promise, no bailing?
00:41:33You're seriously letting me design for you?
00:41:35Hell yes!
00:41:36As real as it gets, I'll text you the address of a members club in Soho.
00:41:40Hurry up!
00:41:41I can't wait to shock the world!
00:41:49I'll be right there.
00:41:54What the hell are you doing here?
00:41:56Who let you in?
00:41:57Chase, did you forget?
00:41:58I'm the one personally designing your look for the upcoming Met Gala.
00:42:05Are you delusional, Sloane?
00:42:06Or just deaf?
00:42:11Chase, what do you mean?
00:42:13I mean exactly what I said.
00:42:15Oh, right.
00:42:15I did say I wanted a new designer for the gala.
00:42:18Do you want to know why?
00:42:19Why?
00:42:20Because your designs are absolute, unmitigated trash.
00:42:23Those so-called masterpieces you've been putting out recently,
00:42:26they look like cheap, fast fashion knockoffs.
00:42:28If I wore that crap on the red carpet,
00:42:30I'd be crucified by every fashion critic on Twitter.
00:42:33I fired you, Sloane.
00:42:35Move on.
00:42:37Thanks, darling!
00:42:38I won the BFDA Emerging Designer Award!
00:42:41There is no one in this industry who can design better for you than me!
00:42:44I want to see what kind of blind, desperate nobody dares to steal my spot!
00:42:49Fine!
00:42:49Let's see what kind of cheap trash you're hiding behind!
00:43:06What are you doing here?
00:43:09What's wrong, my good sister?
00:43:11See me here.
00:43:13Are you disappointed?
00:43:17Keep your distance, Chase!
00:43:19She's dangerous!
00:43:20She's a straight-up murderer!
00:43:21Ran someone over and got off scammy because the court said she's insane!
00:43:25What the hell are you doing?
00:43:27Let go of me!
00:43:31You just gave me a reminder of a perfect legal loophole.
00:43:34I'm officially insane on paper.
00:43:37Slip once,
00:43:39and almost anything I do is technically untouchable.
00:43:44Hurry up!
00:43:46Don't you dare!
00:43:49Tell me.
00:43:51If this hand's permanently broken,
00:43:53if 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!
00:44:01One wrong move and Tristan will tear you apart!
00:44:04Do you even realize how obsessed he is with me?
00:44:08Oh, really?
00:44:09Let's put that to the test.
00:44:10Turn you into a useless cripple
00:44:13and see if your precious Tristan tosses you aside like yesterday's trash,
00:44:18just like you did to me.
00:44:26Chase!
00:44:28Tell me you saw that!
00:44:29She's completely lost it!
00:44:31She just attacked me!
00:44:33Get her out of here!
00:44:34Now!
00:44:37The only person who needs to get out is you.
00:44:44Sloney Astor,
00:44:46your entire Girlboss brand is a PR star.
00:44:49Did you honestly think my team didn't know you used ghost designers?
00:44:52Your 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.
00:44:59I don't lay hands on trash.
00:45:00It ruins the brand.
00:45:01But I'd be more than happy to have my security team drag you out by those fake extensions.
00:45:11Oh, you better watch out, Arya!
00:45:13I'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!
00:45:22That's all you are!
00:45:30If you think I'm insane, that's okay.
00:45:34I'm sorry for disturbing you.
00:45:36I'll head out.
00:45:37I'm sorry!
00:45:39Please!
00:45:39I just want you as my designer!
00:45:41No one else!
00:45:42Look, you already committed minor assault today.
00:45:45Don't let taking your anger out on me be your second crime!
00:45:48I promise I'll be the most obedient client ever!
00:45:50Don't be sad, okay?
00:45:52I'll do that stupid viral TikTok dance my publicist explicitly forbade me from doing!
00:45:59All right, enough.
00:46:00Get up.
00:46:01I'll take the job.
00:46:02Yes!
00:46:03The Queen has spoken!
00:46:08If you think you can take what's mine,
00:46:12you're dead.
00:46:22Pull it together.
00:46:23Check X right now!
00:46:24It's an absolute bloodbath!
00:46:27What happened?
00:46:28You're straight-up trending number one all over the internet right now.
00:46:32Sloane did this on purpose.
00:46:33She leaked those photos of you with Chase on purpose to mislead everyone.
00:46:37Harper!
00:46:38Are Chase's stakes always this unhinged?
00:46:40He's Hollywood's golden boy.
00:46:41Any woman caught breathing near him gets ripped to shreds.
00:46:44And Sloane intentionally leaked your conservatorship and manslaughter history.
00:46:48She'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 pass.
00:46:55It won't work!
00:46:56The narrative has already spiraled.
00:46:57Sloane's bot farms are driving the algorithm.
00:46:59Anything you say now is just damage control.
00:47:02Then what do I do?
00:47:03Go to your husband!
00:47:04Learn to weaponize him!
00:47:05If the sky is falling, let Julian hold it up!
00:47:08Julian...
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.
00:47:23This silence is killing me.
00:47:24I've already got my crisis PDR team working overtime.
00:47:27We'll wipe this mess off the internet.
00:47:28And if that's still not enough, then punch me.
00:47:31Seriously, seriously, just hit me.
00:47:35Stand up.
00:47:36Huh?
00:47:37Stop panicking.
00:47:39Spin 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.
00:47:59Tell them to stand down.
00:48:00Let it burn.
00:48:02Weaponize the hate.
00:48:03The harder your stands tear her apart now, the higher the vicaricity climbs.
00:48:08When 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 Aria as your exclusive haute couture designer.
00:48:16Damn, Julian, that's sick.
00:48:18Hijacking Sloney's smear campaign and turning it into the most insane reverse marketing play fashion has ever seen for Mason
00:48:24Aria.
00:48:25Nobody thinks five moves ahead like you.
00:48:37Sloan, and you already caught Aria with Chase on camera.
00:48:40Why not destroy her properly?
00:48:44Let his deranged fan base know she's an institutionized killer.
00:48:48Cancel culture will drown her before she even realizes what's happening.
00:48:50Wouldn't that be delicious?
00:48:56Mom, that's amateur thinking.
00:48:58Twitter mobs fade in a week.
00:48:59A few cruel tweets won't destroy Aria.
00:49:03My endgame isn't some cheap online pile-on.
00:49:09Then what is it?
00:49:12Mom, do you remember Maya Hayes?
00:49:15Liam Hayes' sister?
00:49:18Exactly.
00:49:19If Mia finds out that the murderer who ran over her beloved brother is not only out of the psych
00:49:23bash, 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?
00:49:29We let the junkie do our dirty work.
00:49:30You really are brilliant, Sloan.
00:49:40Aria Astor.
00:49:44You killed my brother!
00:49:46You murdering bitch!
00:49:47How is it fair?
00:49:48Liam is rotting in the ground, and you get to live like a queen!
00:50:06Holy shit!
00:50:07That antique lace restoration is museum tier!
00:50:10Chase is destroying the carpet!
00:50:12Chase!
00:50:12The vlogs say you're bringing your mystery girlfriend tonight!
00:50:15Where is she?
00:50:16Is the psycho too scared to show her face?
00:50:19Let me clear the air right here and now.
00:50:21I am single.
00:50:22The rumors about a secret girlfriend are complete garbage.
00:50:25Not a girlfriend!
00:50:27Then why all the sneak photos?
00:50:29Does she have dirt on you?
00:50:33She's not exactly a newcomer.
00:50:36But I do have immense admiration for her genius.
00:50:40This armor I'm wearing tonight was handcrafted by her.
00:50:44She isn't just my exclusive designer.
00:50:46She is a master of hand embroidery, and more importantly, the rightful heir to True Orkator.
00:50:50Please welcome my brilliant designer, Miss Arya Aston.
00:51:05Holy shit!
00:51:08Is that actually her stitch?
00:51:09She looks like old money.
00:51:12There's no way a killer looks like her.
00:51:15Oh my god!
00:51:17The craftsmanship!
00:51:18It completely obliterates Sloan's entire portfolio!
00:51:22You newbies don't get it.
00:51:24She's the legitimate heiress.
00:51:25Aria Aston.
00:51:27Wait, the heiress?
00:51:53The heiress!
00:51:59Someone's got a knife!
00:52:00She killed my brother in a hidden run!
00:52:03She's a murderer!
00:52:06A murderer?
00:52:08Miss Astra, is what she said true?
00:52:10Did 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...
00:52:32You're safe now.
00:52:34Is that the CEO of Vance Global?
00:52:37What is he doing here?
00:52:40Mr. Vance, are you here for Miss Astra?
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.
00:52:52Let'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.
00:53:02I saw you harassing my designer, so I ended it.
00:53:05Miss Astra 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.
00:53:13Mr. Vance, if I may be so bold, what exactly is Miss Astra designing for you?
00:53:21A wedding dress.
00:53:25You're getting married?
00:53:27Congratulations, 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.
00:53:35Don't.
00:53:35Julian, please.
00:53:36They'll ruin Vance Global.
00:53:38She doesn't come from a blue blood dynasty.
00:53:40There's no trust fund padding her bank account.
00:53:47But she is my wife.
00:53:49And she is untouchable.
00:54:05What are you spiraling about?
00:54:11Didn'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.
00:54:25Aria 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.
00:54:35As long as it's not Aria.
00:54:39Mum, if the new Mrs. Vance isn't Aria, then it has to be Harper Quinn.
00:54:44Harper Quinn, that low-life blue-collar trash.
00:54:47Oh, calm down, will you?
00:54:48Did Julian Vance issue a press release naming Harper?
00:54:51You're spiraling over unconfirmed upper east-eyed gossip.
00:54:53But Harper Quinn, that slave from the bottom?
00:54:56How 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.
00:55:00I'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.
00:55:21Floney.
00:55:22It's a disaster.
00:55:24A total disaster.
00:55:26Mum!
00:55:28What happened?
00:55:30What's a disaster?
00:55:30It's Harper Quinn.
00:55:32The woman that ruthless bastard Julian is actually marrying is Harper Quinn!
00:55:43How is this happening?
00:55:45How?
00:55:49Crazy people are all crazy!
00:55:52Mum, check the comments!
00:55:53We're being cancelled into non-existence!
00:55:55Relax, 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?
00:56:05That walking disaster from the Midwest?
00:56:07She snags Julian Vance while I'm left standing here?
00:56:09Laughable!
00:56:10That spot was mine!
00:56:15Don't panic, put it on speaker.
00:56:17Dad.
00:56:19Sloney, 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.
00:56:28It's Aria, Dad.
00:56:29She's coaching my VIP clients.
00:56:31She's running a smear campaign on Twitter to ruin us.
00:56:34If 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 Diet Petter keeps groaning about?
00:56:40No, 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.
00:56:58Mom, 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,
00:57:08this PR stunt will send our stock to the 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-sail-seeing 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
00:57:31who controls the GDP of a small European nation.
00:57:34Haven'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.
00:57:58You know what alcohol does with your caristarol 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, never again.
00:58:22Julian, you're all I have left.
00:58:24Having me is enough.
00:58:24I know you're having me.
00:58:42What'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.
00:58:55You 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?
00:59:04How did a mental patient get past the board?
00:59:05You need a billionaire's signature just to use the lobby bathroom.
00:59:09Look who brought her here.
00:59:10Harper Quinn.
00:59:12Otherwise, how else could a bottom filler like her even lay eyes on Julian Vance?
00:59:16She must have slept her way into this privilege.
00:59:20Slona, 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 fiancé isn't a socialite.
00:59:30Who else could it be but that peasant Harper?
00:59:35Slonin!
00:59:36You 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 on to the title of
00:59:56Mrs. Vance?
00:59:58You still have the leisure to worry about others?
01:00:01Astrofashion's 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?
01:00:42Five 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 profit.
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.
01:01:09Arya!
01:01:13Professor Vivian and Clark's Lifetime Achievement Gala.
01:01:16Used 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 of the Mansfield Record.
01:01:23I think she'd ever acknowledge you now.
01:01:26You're nothing but a stain on her legacy.
01:01:29Right now, her most brilliant protégé is me.
01:01:56Arya, are you okay?
01:01:59I'm all right.
01:02:00Just a little stumble.
01:02:02Don't worry about it.
01:02:04Arya, look at me.
01:02:06Stop 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 godfusslaken 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.
01:02:40Professor Clark, apologies for the delay.
01:02:43Happy birthday.
01:02:45Happy birthday, Professor.
01:02:47Wishing you endless health and continued inspiration.
01:02:50Thank 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, Sloane.
01:03:04You shouldn't have.
01:03:06The crown and the lion.
01:03:07Power 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-apaple-jay craftsmanship?
01:03:22Machine-made-aple-jay craftsmanship?
01:03:26Machine-made-aple-jay craftsmanship?
01:03:29Machine-made-aple-jay craftsmanship?
01:03:32Machine-made-aple-jay craftsmanship?
01:03:32How?
01:03:33How could a psycho who spent five years locked in a rehab center still command a room like
01:03:37this?
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, this 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.
01:04:02How dare you address her in that tone?
01:04:04Have you no breeding at all?
01:04:05Aria!
01:04:06You and your classless friend are not welcome here.
01:04:08Security, throw them out immediately.
01:04:11Excuse me, sir.
01:04:13Is 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.
01:04:33It's museum-grade.
01:04:34Compared to this, Sloane's peacock dress looks like cheap sheen trash.
01:04:37Using the celestial bestiality, this one piece is worth a fortune.
01:04:40Yet Sloane hasn't touched a sketchbook in half a year.
01:04:43It definitely raises some eyebrows.
01:04:52Mr. Vance!
01:04:53Mr. Young!
01:04:54What an honor!
01:04:56We're not here for you.
01:04:57We are here to see Director Leon.
01:05:02Director Leon!
01:05:04I'm Sloane Aster, the creative director of Aster Fashion.
01:05:07I just won a major international award.
01:05:10I would love the opportunity to sketch for your new film.
01:05:14My apologies, Mrs. Aster.
01:05:17Regarding the costume design for the epic, my team is moving forward with Aria.
01:05:23Why?
01:05:24Mr. Vance showed me her portfolio.
01:05:26The collision of antique restoration and modern avant-garde.
01:05:29That is authentic artistry.
01:05:32Professor, are you seeing this?
01:05:34She's not here to honor you.
01:05:36That tapestry was just a prop for a casting cowage.
01:05:39Aria, is what she's saying actually true?
01:05:44Professor, when pride eclipses reality, there's nothing left to say.
01:05:49Keep the tapestry.
01:05:50Think 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.
01:06:09It's too risky.
01:06:10Mr. Vance, the deal is dead.
01:06:13Vance Global is pulling all capital from the Finch Group.
01:06:16Effective immediately.
01:06:22You toxic parasite!
01:06:24Get out of my sight!
01:06:25My mother's cutting every last tie with you!
01:06:28You're finished in this town!
01:06:39Arthur.
01:06:40Professor.
01:06:41My apologies for this absolute spectacle.
01:06:47Harper!
01:06:48Wait!
01:06:50Move aside, Sloane.
01:06:51Even 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.
01:07:03You think Aria's 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?
01:07:12Touching her own husband is now considered a scandal?
01:07:15See this?
01:07:16Aria is having a secret rendezvous with Julian Vance.
01:07:19She's sleeping with your husband.
01:07:20You 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!
01:07:25Aria would never do this to me!
01:07:26This is Photoshopped!
01:07:27Do you think I'm stupid?
01:07:28Wake up, Harper.
01:07:29She's a social climbing parasite who would do anything to get ahead.
01:07:32She stole my spotlight, and now she's stealing your husband.
01:07:35Shut up!
01:07:36Don'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!
01:08:08You 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,
01:08:27then let's give her exactly what she wants.
01:08:29I 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.
01:08:48If 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.
01:09:13Harper, today I am going to make you see
01:09:16exactly what kind of trash Aria Astor really is.
01:09:37Do you see it now?
01:09:39Right this second?
01:09:41Your ride-or-die best friend is in there
01:09:42wrecking your marriage.
01:09:44No.
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!
01:09:50I'll kill you!
01:09:52It's done.
01:09:53Aria is ruined.
01:09:55Shut the fuck up!
01:09:57Get the hell out of my room!
01:10:00Tristan?
01:10:02Sloan it?
01:10:04What the fuck did you do to me?
01:10:06I didn't!
01:10:07Tristan, 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
01:10:15and you crawled into my fiancé's bed!
01:10:17I'll kill you!
01:10:19I'll ruin you!
01:10:36Dad?
01:10:37You incompetent fool!
01:10:39Every single one of your EDX stunts was broadcasted live!
01:10:41Bastard has already launched a mass short attack on our stock!
01:10:43You've made us a laughing stock in front of every top clear investor on the East Coast!
01:10:48No, Dad, please.
01:10:49I can fix this.
01:10:49You're done, Sloan.
01:10:51As of now, you're suspended as creative director.
01:10:53Your trust fund's frozen.
01:10:54Pack up and get out.
01:11:01Please!
01:11:02You 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 the pre-orders will be massive the market doesn't care about your design
01:11:14slow
01:11:14All it cares about the stability right now. You're the biggest risk to it
01:11:21Tristan is going to propose
01:11:24He's going to announce it in front of Vogue and WWD a massive capital in such a real estate
01:11:30Disguised as a matrimonial Alliance, it will trigger a massive stock rally. It's true
01:11:34It's just since mother and I have been finalizing the press release. Just let the girl have a moment fine
01:11:39But if this runway crashes and burns Sloan, I'll personally hand your creative director type in to Aria just to
01:11:44keep the board happy
01:11:45Aria, you 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
01:12:06Sloanen, it's time to pay the piper
01:12:17She's outdone herself. I thought she was facing burnout, but this, this is pure unadulterated genius
01:12:27This is my empire
01:12:30These designs belong to me now
01:12:35Sloanen, rumor has it Tristan Shaw is proposing today. Is a corporate merger on the horizon?
01:12:43You'll have to ask him yourselves very soon
01:13:04Security! What 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?
01:13:23This 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
01:13:34Don't trust her!
01:13:35She's bipolar!
01:13:36A violent schizophrenic escape from a high-security facility!
01:13:39Everything she has is a lie!
01:13:41She's killed before!
01:13:49You want to talk about forgery?
01:13:54I was a senior psychiatric nurse at Tranquil Woods
01:13:56For five years, Sloan Aster 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 Aster never had bipolar disorder or schizophrenia
01:14:12Sloan 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!
01:14:24I falsified the records to save you!
01:14:26You killed Liam Hayes!
01:14:28He was vehicular manslaughter!
01:14:31I put you in Tranquil Woods so you wouldn't rot in Rikers Island!
01:14:35I saved your life!
01:14:37You really think your murder for higher plat was that airtight, Sloan?
01:14:41Five years ago, I underestimated
01:14:43But did you honestly believe you cleaned up your hypnose mess?
01:14:57Look, look who's here to collect his debt
01:15:14No, no, impossible
01:15:20You're supposed to be dead!
01:15:28You're right
01:15:31I came damn close
01:15:34Sloan, Aster, you 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'm dead?
01:16:32I was an accessory!
01:16:34On parole!
01:16:35You think the cops would believe a convicted felonman over an Astra?
01:16:39Five years I lived in the sewers!
01:16:42Every 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!
01:16:55Federal 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!
01:17:09She loves running people over?
01:17:11Put her behind bars and throw away the key!
01:17:15Monster!
01:17:34Do you see this, Liam?
01:17:36I avenged you!
01:17:45Slowly psychotic little vanity project just blew up in our faces!
01:17:49Murder for hire!
01:17:50Framing Aria!
01:17:51Tell me right now!
01:17:52Did you co-sign this federal suicide pact?
01:17:56I didn't know anything!
01:17:58Sloan!
01:17:59She never told me!
01:18:01I 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
01:18:25hire, wire fraud, and severe abuse of a medical consumptorship!
01:18:31No!
01:18:32It wasn't me!
01:18:33I didn't kill anyone!
01:18:39Richard!
01:18:40Save me!
01:18:41I don't want to rot in federal prison!
01:18:43The prosecutor Sterling, I can provide full documentation proving my fidere distance from
01:18:48their illicit activities.
01:18:49I was completely blindsided.
01:18:51I need to see Aria.
01:18:52I am her biological father.
01:18:54I want to launch a joint presidency to properly make amends.
01:18:56Make amends?
01:18:57Five years ago, you signed the conservatorship papers and threw her into tranquil wills just
01:19:01to protect your board seat.
01:19:02Aria 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
01:19:18and bribe medical professionals.
01:19:20On all charges, you are hereby remanded to the custody of the federal borough prisons
01:19:23for successive life terms without the possibility of parole.
01:19:27Defendant Valerie Astor, found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder,
01:19:31accessory 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! I don't want to die!
01:19:49Where the hell am I?
01:19:57Welcome to my five-year hell.
01:20:04What are you doing to me? Let me go!
01:20:07No! No!
01:20:09Harper's lawyers filed a psychiatric evaluation with the federal judge.
01:20:13Severe schizophrenia, antisocial personality disorder.
01:20:16You've been deemed legally unfit to stand trial.
01:20:18The judge remanded you to a maximum security facility.
01:20:22And 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 under my personal supervision.
01:20:37No! 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.
01:20:46They condemned your actions, cut all ties with Astor fashion, and officially pulled off the engagement.
01:20:53You're a liability, Sloney.
01:20:55You've been dumped.
01:20:59Bullshit. You 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?
01:21:15Read it.
01:21:16No, this is a fake!
01:21:18There's no way Julian Vance would marry a psycho like you!
01:21:26Enjoy 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! Just kill me! I'm begging you!
01:21:37You and your mother need to burn in this hole.
01:21:39It's the only way Julian can finally rest.
01:21:44You bitch! I'll kill you!
01:21:46You're dead, Aria!
01:21:55It's done now.
01:22:06You're dead, Aria!
01:22:18Ah! Holy shit! It's Chase Sterling!
01:22:22Omni Media's CEO and a federal prosecutor?
01:22:25The security protocol makes sense now.
01:22:35Julian Vance showed up in person?
01:22:37There's the queen of the hour.
01:22:40There's the queen of the hour.
01:22:41There's the queen of the hour.
01:22:48There's the queen of the hour.
01:22:59There's the queen of the hour.
01:23:00Congratulations, Aria.
01:23:01May Mason Aura conquer the world to reclaiming your throne.
01:23:05Thank you. Thank 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.
01:23:37Miss Astra, Mr. Vance vehemently defended you at the Met Gala.
01:23:42Is the CEO of Vance Global officially pursuing you?
01:23:45Mr. Vance, are you pursuing Miss Astem?
01:23:54Oh my god, he's proposing!
01:23:56Aria.
01:23:57We started this in the shadows.
01:24:00A contract.
01:24:01Now I want it in the light.
01:24:03Marry me for real.
01:24:05Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!
01:24:08Say yes! Say yes!
01:24:09Say yes! Say yes!
01:24:10I do.
01:24:19Today, under the banner of Mason Aura, I make this official.
01:24:23This is my wife, Aria Vance.
01:24:27You wouldn't want to disappoint the price, Mrs. Vance.
01:24:30I love you.
