00:03:40I didn't know whales could walk.

00:03:56Today's my wedding day, and if you try and ruin it again,
00:04:00you'll be the one that people are whispering about.
00:04:04Okay, I like that.
00:04:18I'm ready.
00:04:21Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Nick and Claudia,
00:04:27who are entering into holy matrimony with the help of God and of their family.
00:04:36Nick, do you take Claudia as your wife?
00:04:45What should I do?
00:04:48Please say yes.
00:04:50I'm so confused.
00:04:53I do.
00:04:57Claudia, do you take Nick as your husband?
00:05:03I've waited for this moment my whole life.
00:05:06I do.
00:05:26Nothing will ruin this day.
00:05:30Nick, you may now kiss your bride.
00:05:44Your lips feel so soft.
00:05:48He's kissing me for real.
00:05:56By the power vested in me, by the state of California, I hereby declare you,
00:06:02husband and wife.
00:06:06I can't believe it.
00:06:08It's official.
00:06:09We're married.
00:06:10Yes, uh...
00:06:13Um...
00:06:14I need to go talk with some guests.
00:06:17Yeah.
00:06:18Yeah.
00:06:32Oh my god, sister!
00:06:35Mazel tom!
00:06:37Aww.
00:06:38Oh, can't believe he's still got an appetite.
00:06:42Oh, by the way, are you okay?
00:06:44Surely that must have been a little embarrassing with the spoon.
00:06:48Sorry if that sounded mean.
00:06:51I just...
00:06:52I'm really worried about you.
00:06:54So...
00:06:55I'm debating whether or not I should tell you this.
00:06:58Tell me what?
00:07:01Cheers.
00:07:01I overheard Nick having a conversation with his friend.
00:07:07Yeah?
00:07:08And what did he say?
00:07:09He said he only married you because...
00:07:12of the merger.
00:07:15Well, yeah, I mean, the whole marriage was...
00:07:18born out of the merger.
00:07:20But that's it, Claudia.
00:07:22Nick was looking forward to the wedding because he thought he was going to marry...
00:07:26me.
00:07:30What?
00:07:32No.
00:07:33No, you're making this up.
00:07:35I know you.
00:07:36No, Claudia.
00:07:38And you saw for yourself how surprised he was.
00:07:42How surprised everybody was.
00:07:45And here you are, on your wedding day, stuffing your face with cream puffs.
00:07:49alone.
00:07:50With a ring that barely fits you.
00:07:54If he didn't know he was going to be marrying me, why did he say I do?
00:08:00Other than the merger?
00:08:02Because...
00:08:03he...
00:08:04pities you.
00:08:06Obviously.
00:08:09You really are...
00:08:11pitiful.
00:08:14And you, Joy, are jealous.
00:08:16And a liar.
00:08:17Oh!
00:08:18You think so?
00:08:20Well...
00:08:20if you don't believe me...
00:08:22then watch this.
00:08:30Chill.
00:08:32Hey.
00:08:35Yes?
00:08:46Hey, there's my beautiful bride.
00:08:50Not now, Roy.
00:08:51I'm too upset.
00:08:52Oh.
00:08:53No.
00:08:54Uh-uh.
00:08:55We are not going to let your basic biatch of a sister ruin your wedding night for you.
00:08:59She already has.
00:09:01Don't forget that tonight, that lusciously handsome man is going to sleep with you.
00:09:07Not her.
00:09:09You're right.
00:09:10He's mine tonight.
00:09:12Amen.
00:09:16Did he really not want to marry me?
00:09:19Was he disappointed when he saw me?
00:09:21Is all he sees in me a fat woman?
00:09:24Claudia!
00:09:25Enough!
00:09:26You've let Joy get into your head your whole life.
00:09:28Don't let her ruin tonight, too.
00:09:33Joy's lying.
00:09:35Nick said yes.
00:09:37He wasn't forced to marry me.
00:09:40He's out there waiting for me to come out there and make love to him all night long.
00:09:51Get it, Claudia!
00:09:53Get it!
00:09:55Get it, Claudia!
00:09:56Get it!
00:10:04Nick!
00:10:13Nick!
00:10:18Nick, it's our wedding night.
00:10:21Don't you wanna...
00:10:24What kind of man falls asleep on his wedding night?
00:10:28A man who's unattracted to his wife, that's who.
00:10:32Oh, no.
00:10:41I can't, Claudia.
00:10:43Not yet.
00:10:44I'm sorry.
00:10:52Oh, where are you going?
00:10:54I actually have a big Mrs. Brunch with some potential investors.
00:10:58Oh, I see.
00:11:00Um, I'll be ready to go and just...
00:11:01So, uh...
00:11:03No, I, uh...
00:11:05So, these investors, they don't particularly know that our companies are emerging.
00:11:10So, I think this one might be better if I just take it alone.
00:11:13My father left the business for me to manage, and we're going to do that together.
00:11:19So, we should show that we can do that.
00:11:22That we are a strong couple.
00:11:24And business and love.
00:11:27Mm-hmm.
00:11:28Strong couple.
00:11:29Nah.
00:11:32Right.
00:11:43Look, just please be polite, and let me do all the talking. We have a lot of investments to secure.
00:11:49And do not dump any champagne onto somebody's head.
00:11:53It was one time.
00:12:02Here he is, boys.
00:12:05Hello, hello, everyone. I apologize profusely for my tardiness. But it looks like you guys got started, ordered some food.
00:12:12That's great. Dave, I heard you had an amazing Q1. I'd love to enter into the sector that you guys
00:12:17were talking about.
00:12:18Hi. I'm Claudia, Nick's wife and partner in managing the business.
00:12:25Oh, yeah. Claudia, I've heard a lot about you. You're a pretty big deal.
00:12:31You're the heiress that forced Nick kicking and screaming to marry for the merger.
00:12:35Deborah.
00:12:39No, just wait a minute, Dave. I don't really care how much money you have. I don't need you to
00:12:45disrespect my wife like that, and I demand you to give her money.
00:12:48I apologize.
00:12:52Yeah? Or else what?
00:12:54Come on, Sterling, you're just a pretender. Without the merger with you and this whale's family, you wouldn't even be
00:13:00invited to this table. So why don't you just sit back and learn from the big boys?
00:13:05Pretender, huh? That's rich. Coming from someone wearing a dollar store toupee.
00:13:11Dave, I know who you are, Dave, and I know your company's financial situation. What I don't know is what
00:13:23you're doing at this table considering you don't have a dollar left to invest.
00:13:32You had to take out a loan last month for payroll.
00:13:39I'd stay quiet.
00:13:47I'm taking this.
00:13:54It's for the best that he left anyway. He'd skipped out on a bill.
00:14:00Claudia, we talked about keeping a low profile, and you're making us a little bit.
00:14:18I'm here.
00:14:19How can I do this?
00:14:20I'm here.
00:14:21How can I do this?
00:14:22I'm there.
00:14:25How can I do this?
00:14:30How can I do this?
00:14:33He's crying.
00:14:33this whole deal claudia all right gentlemen and ladies now that we're all here except for dave of
00:14:42course i want to speak about the state of the economy right now we know it's in a depression
00:14:50and that's why i think foreign assets is the thing we need to invest before we go on a tangent
00:14:55about
00:14:56foreign companies uh we shouldn't write off local businesses so quickly my company and nick's are
00:15:05about to go through a massive merger and when that happens our stock prices are about to go through
00:15:11the roof the time to invest is now before it's too late i never got pitched by a talking cake
00:15:21before
00:15:22oh if anything is going to explode it's her
00:15:31claudia sit down and stop talking and yourself up for god's sakes
00:15:54good thing she left i'm not interested in investing in a company run by someone like that
00:15:59then don't invest in fact none of you should invest because i don't want to affiliate with
00:16:06any of you small-minded fools

00:25:56i heard this rumor while i was away that you were trying to destroy the company that
00:26:01our father gave to me so i'm here to save it
00:26:15i don't know who you are or how you got past security but this is a board meeting and only
00:26:21authorized officers are allowed to participate yes i know that because i'm the legal heir and the
00:26:28majority owner of this company so i am more than authorized to be here and be present for the board
00:26:35meeting legal air oh nice try but this is my family's company and i think i would know a relative
00:26:44if she were standing right in front of me now enough is enough you should leave before i have
00:26:48security drag you out what's going on here have i really changed so much that even my sister doesn't
00:26:56recognize me i wonder if nick recognizes me something about her feels familiar is it her
00:27:07security hi yes there's an intruder in the conference room can you please come and remove
00:27:13her no need carl i told you there might be drama sorry mrs richardson miss richardson
00:27:23see security will not be kicking me out of the conference room of the business that my dad built and
00:27:29gave to me
00:27:31i'm not going anywhere i am claudia
00:27:38oh that's it this woman is a lying imposter nick you're the boss for god's sake do something okay
00:27:48if you're my wife then where's our wedding ring
00:27:54wow they really don't recognize me nick you know that our marriage was over
00:28:03before it even started remember you never once looked at me like i was your wife
00:28:09so why would i wear your ring i i don't understand is it is this really you claudia
00:28:26yes it's really me she has the ring maybe it really is her but you know what
00:28:35if it fits just right now
00:28:46claudia i was looking for you this entire time and i'm so sorry i was worried about you
00:28:54i really am so sorry
00:28:58nick don't fall for this scam do you not think i wouldn't recognize my own
00:29:03sister this is not claudia
00:29:09this is not claudia i mean we all remember what claudia looked like she was huge fat a whale
00:29:18there is no chance that this woman is claudia claudia i swear that i looked for you everywhere ever
00:29:27since you left claudia wait you're really just gonna leave it has been months how is it even
00:29:36possible that no one's found her do your job and find her it really is you
00:29:45you are so beautiful you are so beautiful this is all i wanted for him to look at me like
00:29:51this
00:29:53finally but it's too late i will never forgive him for how he made me feel thanks
00:30:13oh it's clear now claudia is so ashamed of her weight that she hired some
00:30:19actress to impersonate her it's pathetic but makes sense you know what's pathetic joy
00:30:28is you preferring to believe that your own sister would do something so insane instead of
00:30:35believing that i had the willpower and the drive to make a positive change please
00:30:41the only thing claudia could ever summon the willpower and drive to do was close down a buffet
00:30:47she couldn't keep her fat mouth shut maybe that's something you two have in common
00:30:53i'm warning you joy you don't get to talk me anymore the days of you speaking to me like this
00:31:01are over maybe this is really claudia standing in front of me no way nick throw her out
00:31:14claudia is that you claudia is that you claudia i was worried sick finally where have you been this
00:31:31whole time i had to take control of my life dad and i'm sorry i didn't mean to worry you
00:31:37why are you
00:31:37so thin what happened where are these two sweet roles that i love so much only you love them dad
00:31:46dad don't embarrass yourself this is not the real claudia this is some imposter actress that she
00:31:52always nonsense of course this is claudia you think a father would know his own daughter and
00:31:59here you are trying to throw her out of her own office no this there's no chance that shush
00:32:08nick now you have by your side the most brilliant and smart woman that i have ever known
00:32:15i hope you keep to your promise and you run this company with her
00:32:22yes i promise now that claudia is back that together as partners we can build this company up to an
00:32:31empire
00:32:32so claudia what do you say partners
00:32:42why whenever he looks at me does my heart skip a bee
00:32:47no no no stop it claudia this is not part of the plan get a grip
00:33:08so are we all now familiar with the hierarchy of this company
00:33:13fantastic then let's get to work because we have a lot of work
00:33:16to do you mentioned something about a board meeting yes i did if everyone wants to turn to
00:33:23page three in their portfolios we can get started
00:33:29it's just like the data indicates right now the market is looking for reliability and stability so
00:33:37if we can convince them that our company is the solid rock in the middle of a stormy sea
00:33:42then we can recruit the correct investors let's do it
00:33:57hey great job running the meeting earlier your dad was spot on when he said that you were sharp
00:34:02attentive i don't have time for flattery i have to go uh go where exactly
00:34:11well i am your husband and we do live together did you forget

00:40:08what was i thinking so what do you say you said that you were coming back to build an empire
00:40:17he's right if the two top executives who are supposed to be married look unstable investors will panic

00:48:05talk to any of these investors when my own wife won't even talk to me oh my god please the
00:48:10love of
00:48:10god don't do this right now what well then when we could i want to do it right now because
00:48:15you are
00:48:15just constantly avoiding me okay you want to do it right now go our wedding day was supposed to be
00:48:22the happiest day of my life and instead it was the loneliest and all the humiliation and the mockery
00:48:28yeah that really hurt but the thing that hurt the worst was the sheer luck of disappointment that i
00:48:33got from you look like you know i never meant to hurt you or just then what did you mean
00:48:38look i was
00:48:40excited okay and i guess i just got surprised because i was expecting something else i don't know
00:48:46my sister right the beautiful one the thin one and instead you went home with the fat pathetic one
00:48:58claudia stop no i'm not gonna stop i will not stop nick because i can't even blame you
00:49:04but i can't forgive you you can't forgive me i mean i i feel like i deserve a second chance
00:49:13okay and look i know i mishandled the whole wedding but it was bad for me too and and to
00:49:20be honest i am
00:49:21just less attracted to larger women and look maybe that is unfair to say but it is at least the
00:49:27truth
00:49:28and let me point out something else you were the one that ran away not me i stayed for us
00:49:38regardless of
00:49:39all that you left me and we could we could be great together we we could be a true power
00:49:52couple
00:49:53look and i have thought of you every day since you left and not and not because because of all
00:49:59this
00:50:00before all that i was thinking about your strength i was thinking about your mind i was thinking about
00:50:06your heart and to be completely honest now i am just insanely attracted to you so
00:50:17tell me you don't feel anything
00:50:22that's not true well then well then say it okay i'm attracted to you i am but
00:50:35you are so perfect claudia you're so beautiful you're sharper you're smarter than i am
00:50:44and you're just truly incredible how long i waited to hear words like that from a man like him

00:51:04incredible opportunity here and we cannot squander oh come on nick oh my god i just

01:05:49he was with joy right after no matter how much weight i lost he still chose her
01:05:57not only that he was with joy right after no matter how much weight i lost he still chose her
01:06:08nick was looking forward to the wedding because he was sure that he'd be marrying me
01:06:16you must be imagining things maybe you're with someone else so i really was with joy
01:06:24i really did betray my wife and i'm really not worthy of her
01:06:31well now we have our contract with no heart so i guess we can stop pretending right
01:06:38yeah if that's how you want to do things
01:07:02you going somewhere this couple arrangement is over arrangement this is a relationship
01:07:13claudia look i know that i hurt you okay and i know that i failed you but i'm here now
01:07:21and i want to try and i can change can you because i don't trust you

01:07:32and then i no longer even exist just tell me this what happens if i gain
01:07:40if i get pregnant if i embarrass you if literally anything changes then what what you just don't
01:07:50even want me anymore i mean what kind of a relationship is it if everything is predicted
01:07:54off of me being perfect i mean what kind of a relationship is it if everything is predicted off of
01:07:59me being perfect hey hey look i don't care about any of that look you asked me if i would
01:08:05take
01:08:05you back and the answer is yes because i finally got to know you and you are the only person
01:08:12that i
01:08:12want look claudia i love you i'm sorry but i don't believe you
01:08:31sign it what is this

01:09:00a threesome spicy seriously you're allowed some comfort without guilt i'm just so angry at myself
01:09:10you know i came back here to make everyone regret how they treated me and i promised myself that i
01:09:16wasn't gonna let anyone make me feel like i was unworthy ever again know what i think you made all
01:09:23these changes but you forgot the big one right here what do you mean you lost weight you look
01:09:33incredible you're strong you're healthy but you still don't love yourself enough no that's not true
01:09:39i do i love myself i know nick told you again and again and again how he wanted you if
01:09:47you loved
01:09:48yourself fully you would have believed him he cheated on me with joy no you don't really know that
01:09:56but you do really know that joy is a liar and a manipulative psycho so before you throw him away
01:10:04because you think he chose her maybe at least try to check what actually happened

01:20:17Dad, what is it?
01:20:19Everything is spinning and I can't, I can't see clearly.
01:20:26It's probably just a dizzy spell.
01:20:28Wait here and rest for a second.
01:20:30Soon, Claudia, you'll finally be out of my way.
01:20:39Listen, Dad, while you're resting, we might as well be fishing and do some paperwork.
01:20:43Sign here.
01:20:44Paperwork?
01:20:45What?
01:20:46Yeah, Claudia asked for some formality thing for tonight.
01:20:51Claudia asked, well, if Claudia said to do it, then it's fine, I guess.
01:21:09Okay, well, Noah Hart is here and he hates people being late, so where is my father?
01:21:14No, no, no.
01:21:15Don't worry about it.
01:21:16Just relax.
01:21:17He'll be here any moment.
01:21:18No, I just, I have this bad feeling like something happened.
01:21:22Okay, one second.
01:21:25Hey, Gabby, can you please go to Jack Bridgerton's house, make sure he's okay, check up on him.
01:21:29Get here immediately.
01:21:36That's it, Claudia.
01:21:38Now all of Dad's inheritance is mine.
01:21:41I'm the CEO now.
01:21:43I need help.
01:21:44Help.
01:21:45I don't feel well.
01:21:48You should have thought about that before choosing Claudia over me our whole lives.
01:21:53And now?
01:21:55You'll have to die alone.
01:22:09What a nice celebration, huh?
01:22:12What?
01:22:13A little premature, wouldn't you say?
01:22:15We still haven't signed.
01:22:18Speaking of which, shall we?
01:22:20Mr. Hart, I, um, I'm so sorry.
01:22:24I know that you hate to delay things, and trust me, we do too.
01:22:29My father needs to be here.
01:22:33He's waited for this moment his whole life, and he wouldn't miss it for the world.
01:22:41Well, it looks like he is.
01:22:47Hello?
01:22:49Mr. Richardson?
01:22:50You home?
01:22:59I don't mean to be disrespectful to your father, but I have a full schedule ahead.
01:23:03Are we gonna sign or what?
01:23:07Um, I think that your father would want us to go through with this and not lose this opportunity.
01:23:13You're right.
01:23:15We can begin.
01:23:17Perfect.
01:23:18You two are about to sign a contract that's gonna change your lives.
01:23:32Stop!
01:23:36Stop!
01:23:38Everybody stop.
01:23:40Claudia has no authority to sign.
01:23:42Your signature there means nothing.
01:23:45Dad signed a new agreement today.
01:23:47Claudia is out.
01:23:49I'm the new CEO.
01:23:52My company.
01:23:53I'm the one who signs.
01:23:55Nick, what's, what's going on?
01:23:58There's nothing to worry about, I assure you.
01:24:00Joy has no authority here.
01:24:02She was fired, and now she's desperate for relevance.
01:24:05No.
01:24:06Then explain this.
01:24:10Forging your father's signature now?
01:24:12Pretty desperate, even for you.
01:24:14You know, Nick, this is, this is real.
01:24:17This is dad's signature.
01:24:18Is it?
01:24:24Joy Richardson, CEO.
01:24:27Shall we continue?
01:24:28No, no, no.
01:24:29This doesn't make any sense, okay?
01:24:30Jack never trusted you with anything.
01:24:32Oh, on the contrary.
01:24:34My dad trusted me with his life.
01:24:37He told me I was the beloved daughter.
01:24:40Not the one who disappeared for three months without telling him.
01:24:43So, smile, Nicky.
01:24:46You're finally free of Claudia.
01:24:49You can have me now.
01:24:50We can become the power couple we were always meant to be.
01:24:54Where is dad?
01:24:57Did you do something to him?
01:25:00Relax, dad is fine.
01:25:02He just finally woke up.
01:25:04And you need to wake up too.
01:25:06I know you didn't want to marry Claudia.
01:25:08You wanted to marry me.
01:25:11So, now you can.
01:25:13Let's become the most gorgeous and strongest couple in the industry.
01:25:23Sign with me.
01:25:27Come on, Nicky.
01:25:28What are you waiting for?
01:25:30If you don't choose me, then my first act as CEO will be canceling this merger.
01:25:36No, no, you can't do that.
01:25:37Noah has signed with us already.
01:25:39Ooh, but he already signed.
01:25:42See?
01:25:42Now all it takes is my signature.
01:25:45Come on, Nicky.
01:25:49If you don't sign, then she's gonna destroy everything.
01:25:52Life's work.
01:25:53No, no, you are my wife.
01:25:55The company matters, but you matter more.
01:25:57And I'm not gonna lose you again.
01:25:58No matter what.
01:26:02Oh, my God.
01:26:03Both of you are so stupid.
01:26:05But, hey.
01:26:08Better look next time, little boy.
01:26:13Stop this immediately!
01:26:18Everything she said is a lie.
01:26:21She drugged me and forced me to sign...
01:26:25...this.
01:26:25...this.
01:26:34Your jealousy has turned you into a monster!
01:26:39I'm ashamed of you.
01:26:41You're no longer my daughter.
01:26:44I can't forgive you for doing this.
01:26:46You're no longer my sister.
01:26:48Oh, Bill fucking who?
01:26:50Since you're no longer family, and you're not an employee...
01:26:55...you're no longer here.
01:26:56Security!
01:27:00Uh...
01:27:01Wait, no, Claudia, what is this?
01:27:03You know, my instincts told me something bad happened to Dad.
01:27:06And I think that maybe you had something to do with it.
01:27:09And I believe her instincts, so that's why I call it security, just in case.
01:27:13You can't! You can't do this!
01:27:15You can!
01:27:15And for attempted murder.
01:27:16Oh!
01:27:17You fat bitch!
01:27:18Don't regret this!
01:27:19I'm not finished with you!
01:27:24Oh.
01:27:25Fat bitch.
01:27:26It is a long story.
01:27:28Yes.
01:27:30Right.
01:27:32Well.
01:27:33If the family drama's over, shall we, dare I say, sign?
01:27:38Yes.
01:27:38Yes.
01:27:40Mmm.
01:27:49I do have one more thing to say.
01:27:52Claudia, I know that I ruined our wedding day, but you deserve nothing more than your dream wedding.
01:28:02So?
01:28:02You were born, you were born to be on display.
01:28:08Will you marry me?
01:28:13Yes.
01:28:14Oh my God, yes, yes, yes.
01:28:20Partners.
01:28:23In every way possible.
