00:11Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! The system crashed mid-upload! Half the collection is the wrong season!
00:18We're on everything!
00:22I'm on runway is in 48 hours. If production starts with these botched designs, we're all dead. Not just fire,
00:30we're dead! Company collapses, our careers are over!
00:34Come out here and talk to us! We have 8 million tied up in this collection!
00:39I have a fashion editor from Moe, I'm on right now! One word for me, your industry poison!
00:58Enough!
01:00Mick!
01:02Mia, Japanese indigo. Miranda, call production, emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:16Tell the boss to hold all calls. I need 28 minutes.
01:2028 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2427 now. Tick tock.
01:46I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:49I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes!
01:53Holy shit! Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter our lives.
01:57I'll clear every record!
02:04Veck! Are you ok?
02:08Just brax and Hicks. Nothing to do!
02:13Oh my god, your water broke!
02:21Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:26Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:31Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges
02:38since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:43That's my girl.
02:54Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But there's a condition. We need to slash costs immediately.
03:04Layoffs. That's it without leave. Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:14Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:20In fact, they deserve a promotion.
03:27No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:35Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:40Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:44Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
03:51Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:54She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:56I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:04But, Victoria-
04:05Don't worry about her. I'm not useless. Prego, I just got fired.
04:13You know that collection I just rescued, Eb?
04:17I hid something in the design.
04:20Your initials and now little graces.
04:23Hoving right into the fabric.
04:29And that's going to give him a long runway?
04:32Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:35Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:38Mom, you ain't have to.
04:40You're going to that private school.
04:42No discussion.
04:44Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:47This job will keep us afloat.
04:49I love you, Mom.
05:01Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:06After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:25Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:35What the hell?
05:37Listen up, everyone.
05:38Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:41Effective immediately.
05:43You can't just do that.
05:45She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:48There are laws against this.
05:49Vic worked while in labor.
05:52She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:57These preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:05Great timing.
06:07Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:10Clear out your desk now.
06:20You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:22I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:26Three times.
06:30Well, that's my ancient history.
06:33The board wants fresh blood.
06:36And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:44I'm the one who...
06:45I'm the one who...
06:46Mia, you...
06:50Feel that curve?
06:52That's your signature.
06:53That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:00How could you?
07:01I taught you everything you know.
07:09I wish things were different, Vic.
07:14I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:22What happens to my team?
07:25Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight, working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:31Things got so bad, she had to get hair implants.
07:35Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:39These jobs are their lifelines.
07:41Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:44You can't just throw them away.
07:47Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:50No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection.
07:53But hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:56Or we can shift the math.
07:59You sign.
08:01They stay.
08:02The budget works out.
08:04Think of it as...
08:06taking one for the team.
08:10Miranda's still drowning in her husband's deaths.
08:13And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:16They can't lose their jobs.
08:22Come on, Vic.
08:23You say you care about them.
08:25Prove it.
08:59Five grand.
09:01Five grand.
09:18Be careful.
09:20I got you.
09:27Vincent?
09:28Vincent Chevalier?
09:30Hi.
09:34High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:46So, it's true.
09:50Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Maison Laveau's Milan collection.
09:59How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:06Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:11What are you getting at, exactly?
10:14I'm talking about you and me.
10:18Partners.
10:19You're genius.
10:21My money.
10:23No corporate BS.
10:25No one holding you back.
10:31I've got a baby to think about now.
10:34And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:39Just saying.
10:45Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:47You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
10:52Got your spy here?
10:56Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing.
11:01Triple her salary, corner office.
11:04You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:09Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:11Rescuing a washed-up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:15Wow, that's an interesting take to have, considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:21I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:26The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:29If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:36Shit, shit, shit.
11:37What are you talking about?
11:39Victoria designed all of this.
11:46Actually, those were my designs.
11:51What did you just say?
11:53The spring collection.
11:55The Cartier pieces.
11:57I designed them.
11:58Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:02Oops.
12:03Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:06I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:10Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:19So what?
12:21Sketches get passed around all the time.
12:22It doesn't prove squat.
12:24Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:27Ghost designer?
12:29And the logo?
12:32The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
12:36It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:40Mommy, explain it.
12:41Make me shut up.
12:46It's funny.
12:47All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing it over,
12:52they all have EW and GW so near, too.
12:56Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
12:59Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:02It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:07Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:11Well, Mia, tell them.
13:13Tell them you designed this.
13:15Tell them you saved Milan.
13:16The logo, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:24You lying little bitch!
13:27That promotion was for saving the company!
13:33Look at the logo again.
13:35It's not EW or GW.
13:38It's actually two M's.
13:41MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:47See?
13:49One M flipped.
13:50One upright.
13:51It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:55It's mine.
13:57That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:00Oh my god, she's right.
14:02It does look more like two M's.
14:05You manipulative bitch.
14:07You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:11You learned wild, Mia.
14:14Maybe too wild.
14:16You'll regret this.
14:20Markinson, we don't have to sink to that level.
14:23Okay.
14:24Then let me drive you home, Carrie.
14:26My Ferrari's outside.
14:28I got this.
14:29You shouldn't be caring anymore.
14:36Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:40Just take care of Miranda and Pauline, will you?
14:45That's right, get the hell out of my company.
14:48Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:56Owen, Victoria.
14:59VIP invitation.
15:01Paris Fashion Week.
15:02Front row.
15:03I think you'll find it.
15:05Enlightening.
15:14Every pregnant woman fired.
15:17All of us.
15:19Just like that.
15:20No severance.
15:22No warning.
15:23Nothing.
15:23But a box and a security escort.
15:31Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:35Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign and bonus might ride in Star.
15:40Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
15:43Their designs are eagerly awaited.
15:48Should have kept your legs closed.
15:58Oh my god, mom.
16:00This is insane.
16:01I can't believe we're actually here.
16:03Victoria Winter.
16:04The Nuclear Vic.
16:06Your mom's basically a legend.
16:07You know that, right?
16:10We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison-Levaux.
16:13Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:19Wait, there's only vote?
16:22Well, well.
16:23The Queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
16:26Brave of you to show up here.
16:28What's next?
16:29Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:33Leaving so soon?
16:35You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:38Has mommy dearest filled you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting
16:43it anymore?
16:46Mom, is that true?
16:50Don't worry.
16:51She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
16:55Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
16:58Still pretending she matters.
17:03My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:07If Maison-Levaux is putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves
17:13to crash and burn.
17:14Well, look at that.
17:15It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:18Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:21That's got to sting, huh?
17:23Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero.
17:28But hey, good news.
17:30There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:34If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:38That's enough.
17:43You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:46You never belonged in this world.
17:49Look at her.
17:50A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
17:54That dress, it's a cheap knockoff.
18:00Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:03It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:09What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:12Remove that dress.
18:15We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:19Hey, stop it.
18:20Let go of my mom.
18:22And let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:25Take your hands off her now.
18:30Vincent.
18:36You're dismissed.
18:45You all right?
18:49You all right?
18:51I'm fine.
18:52Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
18:55The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
18:57What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:01That knockoff that you're so eager to trash her for?
19:06It's Chauvin.
19:09Montcouture.
19:10Winter collection.
19:11Not even released yet.
19:14Price tag?
19:16300,000.
19:17Wow!
19:19You gave her that.
19:20That's right.
19:21You did.
19:24I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:28Oh my god, everyone.
19:29Mystery solved.
19:31Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy.
19:34Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
19:36He's your walking trust fund.
19:40Victoria sleeping her weight at the top.
19:43It's just so predictably desperate.
19:48You really don't understand real talent, do you?
19:53For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier, CEO of Jevende.
20:01And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:07I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:11Your brilliance.
20:13Your principles.
20:14Your passion.
20:17Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:20Mom, did you know about this?
20:23Now, I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:27But in the meantime, what I will do
20:30is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:33She won't let you down, boss.
20:39You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:42She's nothing but a has-been.
20:44The show is about to start.
20:46Your seats are waiting.
20:53Holy shit.
20:55The industry, Golden Boy and the Creative Powerhouse together?
20:58Talk about a power couple.
21:00They could run the entire industry.
21:03This isn't over, bitch.
21:05Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:16So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:23Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:27Some people, too.
21:33Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:39This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:41She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:47It's true.
21:48She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:51I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
21:57And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:03That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:06Victoria, your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:10That's enough, Holly.
22:13Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:17Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:22Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:26That's her real design strategy.
22:28Stop it, Holly.
22:29You're embarrassing yourself.
22:30And those kids she's so proud of?
22:33Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:36How dare you!
22:40Miss Jenkins.
22:41Miss Michaels.
22:43It's a disaster in there.
22:44There's something wrong with the collection.
22:46It's the fabric.
22:47Not now.
22:53The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the light.
22:57The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:00We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:02Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Moval?
23:05Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
23:07This is completely unprofessional.
23:10I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:13This is breach of contract.
23:17It's actually fixable.
23:20Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping you backstabbing vultures.
23:27Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:29Maison Moval appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:33Sources say the entire collection made it canceled minutes before showtime.
23:37The question on everyone's mind, is this the end for the once prestigious fashion folks?
23:45This show doesn't happen.
23:47You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
23:50We're talking billions, homie.
23:53Billions.
23:54Billions.
24:16What's this?
24:18Now.
24:20How?
24:20The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:24I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:27You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:31If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:35That's billions of dollars.
24:38Then you better figure something out.
24:39Because if you don't, not only are you fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
24:55Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
25:00Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:04Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:07And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:12We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:25Excuse me.
25:27Excuse me.
25:29It's okay, Pumpkin. I'll be right back.
25:37What do you want, Mia?
25:42Vic, I really need your help.
25:45Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:50Look, I know you're furious. I would be too.
25:53But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
25:56What about them?
25:58Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:00If we tank, they're done. Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:06Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out here.
26:11Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:13Yes, absolutely. And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:18Please, Vic, not for me. For them. For its food.
26:23I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make or break show.
26:27What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:32They, they couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.
26:37Is that right?
26:40Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
26:44They do.
26:46Fine.
26:49I'll help you.
26:50But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline. Not for you.
27:04Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter. The Nuclear Vec.
27:09I need scissors, thread and fresh lining fabric. Now.
27:19I need royal fuchsia for this stitching. Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:23Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:29Would this work?
27:36Vincent, how did you...
27:39I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven as emergency kit.
27:47This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors. Why would you help them?
27:55I'm not helping them.
27:58I'm helping you.
28:00I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:03I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:08It's yours now.
28:11I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:13Then what do you want?
28:17You.
28:20What?
28:23Your talent. Your vision.
28:27Come and work as Joven.
28:30I'm in.
28:31I'll work for you.
28:33Just like that.
28:34Just like that.
28:36Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
28:43I hate it when I'm calling you.
28:47I wish I was cool.
28:49Like the new girl at school.
28:52I regret it.
28:53So I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get it.
28:56I want me back.
28:59Don't ever change.
29:02I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:07She's doing it in minutes.
29:09What would have taken us hours.
29:11Whoa.
29:12No wonder they call her the Nuclear Vic.
29:14It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:18The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:26Five minutes till showtime.
29:28We made it.
29:29We made it.
29:30We made it.
29:34Woo!
29:41Well?
29:42Do we pull the plug or not?
29:44We're good.
29:44Everything's back on track.
29:46See?
29:48I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
29:50You've got twice her talent.
29:53Yeah.
29:54Right.
29:55This is exactly why I promoted you.
29:58You need thick spices to not make them.
30:07To Victoria.
30:09The real hero of the night.
30:21Mom, you're insane.
30:22I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:26I couldn't have done it without you.
30:30You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
30:39Well, well, still hanging around.
30:42I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
30:46Fraud.
30:47Holly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight.
30:51What are you talking about?
30:53Just ask the models.
30:55Any.
30:56Of them.
30:58Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement. About Miranda and Pauline.
31:03I won't.
31:09Two new beginnings at Chauvet.
31:17Speaking of new beginnings...
31:20Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:24I want to help with our education.
31:28What? Vincent, that's too much. We barely know each other.
31:34Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
31:39I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress.
31:45The one you made from scratch.
31:47I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
31:54You remember that?
31:56I remember everything.
32:00I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:07Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:09You were married.
32:12And then you weren't.
32:14And then you were building your career.
32:17The timing was never right.
32:21Until now.
32:31I have been waiting for 20 years to do this.
32:47I should probably get this.
32:51What?
32:58Mia?
33:02God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:05That Milan disaster you turned around? Absolute magic.
33:08And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
33:13Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:19Sean Gosling?
33:21The Sean Gosling?
33:22The very one.
33:24Three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive, and if we play our cards right,
33:29the next face of Maison Le Bois menswear.
33:31They're taking pitches now.
33:34If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:36For you, for the brand.
33:39Where it is, Joven's in the running too.
33:42Land this, Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
33:49Seal the deal, I'll bump your pay by 20%.
33:53I've got this Holly, you won't regret it.
34:02God, what am I gonna do?
34:04I can't design menswear.
34:05I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:09Miranda and Pauline are gone too.
34:11I'm completely on my own.
34:14If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:20maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over her.
34:46Maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over her.
34:49You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
34:51You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
34:52Cut to the chase.
34:56We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux.
34:58Miranda and Pauline are also named-
35:00Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:01She can handle this without me.
35:02Please, wait, there's more to it.
35:05After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:08Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:11I've been fighting for them.
35:13What?
35:13Are you serious?
35:14Pauline's due any day now.
35:16Trust me, I know.
35:18This project is our only shot.
35:20If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:23Have you worked with Sean before?
35:25No, but I've heard you have.
35:28Ages ago, I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
35:32Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison LaValle.
35:36Really?
35:37What concept?
35:43Well...
35:56Perfect. She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:00I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:04Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:08I do.
36:09Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison LaValle.
36:14Wait.
36:16Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:18How exactly is she part of this project?
36:21Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have,
36:25Holly's letting her work from home.
36:26Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:30Of course, Vic.
36:32Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:37You need to leave the body.
36:40Take all the time you need it.
36:42Mia.
36:43Don't make me regret trusting you.
36:46Again.
37:04Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:06Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:10The Sean Gosselin one with the black hat and lapels?
37:13That's the one.
37:14Can you check my home office?
37:16Yes, it should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:20Got it.
37:21Grace is napping.
37:23The perfect timing.
37:24Thanks, sweetie.
37:25I just need to double check something about the...
37:30Shoulder.
37:32Instruction.
37:34Mom, are you okay?
37:39Miranda?
37:41Vic?
37:46Mom!
37:46Mom!
37:47What's going on?
37:49Emily, I'll call you right back.
37:52Brenda, what happened?
37:54Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
37:57Bills don't pay themselves.
37:59You've met my husband.
38:00Old Chara with no paycheck.
38:02And now there's a newborn at home.
38:05Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the galsing project.
38:09What?
38:10Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:14After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:19No severance, no cover, nothing.
38:22Just gone.
38:23That's completely illegal.
38:26Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
38:31All at once.
38:32What are the odds, right?
38:34And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours diner.
38:39Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
38:47And Mia knew about all this.
38:50Mia.
38:51Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
38:54Didn't even blink.
38:56Too busy admiring her shiny new create and direct title.
39:01She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
39:04Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:08What?
39:09That bitch!
39:12This ends now.
39:20Damn it!
39:25Miss Michael.
39:26He's just arrived from Milan.
39:28We need approval by noon to them.
39:30Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:41What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
39:45Victoria would never treat us.
39:48I heard that.
39:50You think Victoria is so perfect?
39:53Then where is she now?
39:54Gone.
39:55Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:00Well at least you can actually design it.
40:07What the hell is going on here?
40:09Just a creative disagreement. Everything is in control.
40:13The Gosling page. Tell me you have something presentable.
40:19Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:21Show me.
40:23It's not quite ready.
40:24Now.
40:30This is garbage.
40:33Absolute garbage!
40:34I just need a little more time.
40:36We don't have more time.
40:38This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
40:40If Shufin gets this deal instead of us...
40:46What's that?
40:51It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
40:56I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
40:59Get me a winning designer tomorrow morning.
41:02Or pack up your desk by lunch!
41:27I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:35Right on cue.
41:39Meet that sketch ASAP.
41:42Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
41:46The absolute nerve of this woman is...
41:50She'll get her a sketch.
41:52And that's where we spring the trap.
42:06You're early.
42:07Vic.
42:08I really need that sketch.
42:18I said I'd help.
42:19Not hand over my design.
42:21Holly's all over me about this.
42:24If I don't have something tonight...
42:25Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:29Still lying, Mia.
42:30You never learn.
42:32Guess it's payback time.
42:34So...
42:35Do you want my help or not?
42:36I can walk you through it.
42:38Your design could be just as good.
42:40She's such a snake!
42:43Vic! My stomach is killing me!
42:46Can you run to the pharmacy and get something please?
42:49Fine.
42:50Don't touch anything.
42:52You're good.
42:54I can't.
42:55Yeah, I can't.
42:59I can't.
43:04I can't.
43:08I can't.
43:11I can't.
43:16I can't.
43:19of the fittings.
43:32You just let her take your work?
43:34She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
43:40You know, boss,
43:41we could pitch ourselves.
43:43Go after the same clients.
43:45Show them what real design looks like.
43:48We're not out yet.
44:02Or there's a revolution room.
44:08Figure you can use all the
44:09backup you can get.
44:13You're welcome, mom.
44:17I want you
44:19and your team
44:20as your vent.
44:22Full creative control.
44:26I'm Miranda.
44:27Your husband's debt
44:28handled.
44:30And every casino in the country
44:31has been told he's not welcome.
44:34Mr. Chevalier, I...
44:36I'm Pauline.
44:38Your sister is in good hands.
44:40The best heart surgeon in the country.
44:43It's already prepping for her neck surgery.
44:46Mr. Chevalier.
44:49Don't thank me.
44:50Thank Victoria.
44:52I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
44:56Vincent, I...
44:58I don't even know what to say.
45:00It's about time
45:01you all get what you deserve.
45:11I don't even know what to say.
45:11I don't even know what to say.
45:12So in the coffee checklist,
45:16I don't even know what to say about it.
45:16In the coffee checklist,
45:20there's no husband Nick transport
45:20because I know what's going on.
45:20I know what to say.
45:22what to say.
45:22I'm not too late on like that.
45:23I don't know it.
45:23And I'm sorry.
45:25I don't know if he travies know it.
45:28I'm not too late on like that.
45:31It's because of the hayfall.
46:09And you're still here?
46:12Final tweaks. The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:18You've got Grace to sleep.
46:23Yeah.
46:25And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:30Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
46:37Remember, smile, we're about to make the streak.
46:44Maison Laveau sets the bar.
46:46We don't follow trends, we create them.
46:54Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:03I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:12What is that bitch doing here?
47:18Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:22My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:28I didn't expect to see you here.
47:30I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
47:36I multitask.
47:37Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
47:42You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
47:46The office is so empty, it echoes.
47:50And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
47:54Pregnant woman talk, you know.
47:56Three excellent threes and a viable CEO.
47:59What's next?
48:00A fake sale?
48:02Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:04You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:07And what real loyalty looks like.
48:22Sean, glad you could make it.
48:24We have something very special to show you.
48:29Vic.
48:33I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
48:37Congratulations.
48:38Thank you, Sean.
48:39It's good to see you.
48:41Let's begin the pitches.
48:44You ready to lose?
48:46You're out of your league.
48:47You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
48:57First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:18Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:29Beautiful work.
49:31Both themes.
49:36We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
49:42After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...
49:49Maison Laveau.
49:51Oh, yeah!
49:52Oh, my God.
49:53Of course.
49:55This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:07What the hell did you people put me in?
50:10Are you trying to kill me?
50:12Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:15Who designed this tuxedo?
50:16Did you even read the brief?
50:20I mean, you must have read the brief.
50:23It's not complicated.
50:24It says no synthetic blends.
50:28I mean...
50:28It must be some kind of mistake.
50:30Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
50:32A mistake?
50:34I could have ended up in the emergency room.
50:37Victoria, please, tell these amateurs
50:40why you pulled your last design.
50:49I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
50:53I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
50:56And that's why Victoria is the best.
50:58She actually pays attention.
51:00After reviewing all the entries,
51:02the committee has reached a decision.
51:04The commission goes to
51:05Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:08It's okay.
51:10Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:14Mia's design was the front runner all along.
51:16That's why they picked her first.
51:21Maybe everyone should see this.
51:29Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:36Not so near low.
51:37Even for you.
51:42Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
51:46So you know,
51:48I will be supporting Victoria's case
51:50for design theft.
51:53Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
51:56We're suspending all collaborations.
52:08Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:11You're blacklisted.
52:18Victoria, please.
52:26Victoria, please.
52:29I'll do anything.
52:31Please just help me save the company,
52:32the brand you built for 15 years.
52:35You made your choices, Holly.
52:38Now you live with them.
52:41Finally, we went too far.
52:49Shawn Gosling's look tonight is a game-changer crafted by the trailblazing team at JoVen.
52:54Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
53:04To the best comeback in fashion history and to the women who made it happen.
53:10And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:16Mom, you might want to see this.
53:29Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:33Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:35Happy birthday to you!
53:39Guys, look.
53:43Maison Laveau on the brink.
53:45Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
53:49Ouch.
53:50I guess karma has a sense of humor.
53:53It's strange, isn't it?
53:58I gave them everything.
54:00Late nights, weekends, all the best years.
54:04And they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:07Now it's all crashing down.
54:09I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:11Honestly, it's a weird mix.
54:14Relief, sure.
54:16But also a little bit of grief.
54:19Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
54:22Look at this!
54:25JoVen pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
54:31Victoria, this is you.
54:32You did this.
54:35Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
54:40Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
54:45Careful, Vincent.
54:47You almost forgot the best part.
55:00Victoria Winter.
55:02Hello.
55:04Will you marry me?
55:09Yes.
55:10A thousand times yes.
55:13Woooo!
55:32Best birthday ever!
55:50You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
55:54I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
55:58When word got out you left. Clients bailed.
56:02The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.
56:08You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
56:14I know. I know.
56:18My father...
56:20The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
56:24I destroyed everything.
56:27I thought slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
56:34I didn't mean for it to end like this.
56:37Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it. Last week.
56:42The brand. The archives. Even the debt. It's part of Jeven now.
56:49You bought it? Why would you do that?
56:52To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
56:59You win, Victoria. I hope you do better than I did.
57:05I'll do it differently.
57:06I'll do it differently.
57:08Goodbye, Holly.
57:24Miss Winter. I just... I wanted to thank you. Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave. I
57:35can keep working and have my baby.
57:39You changed everything. Congratulations. Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
57:56Ready?
58:00Always.
58:12And now, Jovan's new collection designed by Victoria Wintour and your two.
