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. No.
00:22We're on runways in 48 hours. If production starts with these botched designs, we're all dead. Not just fired, we're
00:31dead. Company collapses, our careers are over. Come out here and talk to us. We have 8 million tied up
00:38in this collection.
00:39I have a fashion editor from Logan, right now. One word for me, you're in some poison.
00:58Enough. Vic!
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. 28 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2527 now. Tick tock.
01:46And done. Crisis averted.
01:49I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes.
01:54Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
02:05Vic, are you okay?
02:08Just practice some hair, cause nothing to-
02:14Oh my god, your water broke.
02:21Mom, you're seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:27Multitasking 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?
03:08That's it without leave.
03:10Oh, 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, um, 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.
03:41Ew, 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? She's offering me Victoria's job? I can finally get rid of that bitch
03:59hanging over my head?
04:04But, Victoria-
04:05Don't worry about her. I'm not useless.
04:07We're going to set fire.
04:13You know that collection I just rescued, Em? I hid something in the design. Your initials and now little graces.
04:23I'll have them right into the fabric.
04:29And that's going to be a Milan runway?
04:33Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial. Enough for your full tuition at 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.
05:38Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:43You can't just do that. She's in the hospital having her baby. There are laws against this.
05:50Vic worked while in labor. She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance, these 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?
06:23I saved this company three times when your father could have made payroll.
06:27Three times.
06:30Well, that's ancient history.
06:33The board wants fresh blood.
06:36And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:42What?
06:44I'm the one who...
06:48Mia, you...
06:50Feel that curve?
06:52That's her 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.
07:30Things 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.
08:05Think of it as...
08:07Taking one for the team.
08:10Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:13And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:16They can't lose their jobs.
08:17They can't lose their jobs.
08:22Come on, Vic.
08:23You say you care about them.
08:25Prove it.
08:32Hey.
08:59Five grand.
09:01That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:04That's what I'm worth to them.
09:18Careful.
09:20I got you.
09:27Vincent?
09:29Vincent Chevalier?
09:31Hi.
09:34High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:47So...
09:48It's true.
09:50Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Mison Lebeau'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.
10:20Your genius, my 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 Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:51Got your spine here?
10:56Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
11:01Triple her salary, corner office.
11:04You know, before the vultures at LB 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.
11:34Strip.
11:36Shit, shit, shit.
11:37What are you talking about?
11:39Victoria designed all of this.
11:46Actually, those were my designs.
11:52What 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.
12:20So what, sketches get passed around all the time, it doesn't prove squat.
12:24Maybe she was your little, what do they call it, dress 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.
12:40Well, Mia, explain it and make her shut up.
12:46It's funny.
12:47All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in her life.
12:52They all have EW and GW sewn in, 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.
13:17The logo, it's...
13:20It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:25You lying little bitch!
13:27That promotion was for saving the company.
13:33Look at the logo again.
13:34It's not EW or GW.
13:39It's actually two M's.
13:41MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:47See?
13:49One M flipped, one 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.
14:06You manipulated bitch.
14:07You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:11You learned well, Mia.
14:14Maybe too well.
14:16You'll regret this.
14:19Mark, listen.
14:21We don't have to sink to their level.
14:23Okay.
14:25Then let me drive you home, Karen.
14:26My Ferrari's outside.
14:28And I got this.
14:29You shouldn't be carrying anyone like her.
14:36Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:40Just take care of Miranda and Polly, will you?
14:45That's right.
14:46Get the hell out of my company.
14:48Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:56Oh, I'm Victoria.
14:59VIP invitation, Paris Fashion Week.
15:03Front row.
15:04I think you'll find it.
15:06Enlightening.
15:14Every pregnant woman fired.
15:17All of us.
15:18Just 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 my writing star.
15:40Now, about your fashion week.
15:43Your designs are eagerly awaited.
15:48You should 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 Wintour.
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 Lรฉveau.
16:13Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:18Wait, Maison Lรฉveau?
16:22Well, well, the 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?
16:31What?
16:33Leaving so soon?
16:35You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:38Does mommy dearest build you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it 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.
16:54Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour.
16:58Still pretending she matters.
17:03My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:07If Maison Lรฉveau was putting people like you in charge of the business,
17:12then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:14Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:18Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:21That's got a sting, huh?
17:23Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero.
17:29But 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.
17:42That's enough.
17:44You'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...
17:56It'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.
18:10What 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! Let go of my mom!
18:22And let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:26Take your hands off her now.
18:30Wait...
18:36I'm sorry.
18:40Hey!
18:49No!
18:50I'm sorry.
18:51I'm sorry.
18:52I'm sorry.
18:56I'm sorry.
18:57up anywhere? What the hell is he doing with Artoria? That knockoff that you're so eager
19:04to trash her for? It's Chauvenne. Haute couture. Winter collection. Not even released yet.
19:14Price tag? $300,000. Wow! You gave her that. That's right. You did.
19:24I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it. Oh my god, everyone, mystery
19:30solved. Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy. Mr. Billionaire's not her white knight,
19:36he's her walking trust fund. Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top. It's just so predictably
19:45desperate.
19:48You really don't understand real talent, do you? For those of you who don't know me,
19:56I'm Vincent Chevalier, CEO of Chauvenne. Yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since
20:05high school. I've followed your career from a distance for years. Your brilliance, your
20:13principles, your passion. Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:20Mom, did you know about this?
20:23I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready. But in the meantime, what I will do is
20:30ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:34She won't let you down, boss.
20:39You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier. She's nothing but a has-been.
20:44The show is about to start. Your seats are waiting.
20:53Holy shit. The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together? Talk about a power couple.
20:59They could run the entire industry. This isn't over, bitch. Wait 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. Some 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. She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:47It's true. She 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.
22:04That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:07Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:11That's enough, Holly.
22:14Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:18Your 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.
22:29Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:31And those kids she's so proud of? Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:37How get you?
22:40Chris Jenkins, Missing Michaels, it's a disaster in there.
22:45There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
22:48Not now.
22:53The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
22:57The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:00We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:03Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison LeVos?
23:05Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
23:08This is completely unprofessional.
23:10I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:14This is breach of contract.
23:18It's actually fixable.
23:21Bob, you can't seriously be thinking about helping you backstabbing vultures.
23:27Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:30Maison LeVos appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:33Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
23:37The question on everyone's mind?
23:39Is this the end for the once prestigious fashion house?
23:46This show doesn't happen.
23:48You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
23:51We're talking billions, Holly.
23:53Billions.
24:16Fix this.
24:18Now.
24:20How?
24:21The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:24I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:28You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:31If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:36That's billions of dollars.
24:38Then you better figure something out.
24:40Because if you don't, not only are you fired,
24:43I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
24:55Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
25:01Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:04Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:08And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:12We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:25Excuse me.
25:28Excuse me.
25:29It's okay, punk.
25:31I'll be right.
25:37What do you want, Mia?
25:43Vic, 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.
25:52I would be too.
25:54But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
25:57What about them?
25:58Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:01If we tank, they're done.
26:03Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:06Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs,
26:09just put this out here.
26:11Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:14Yes, absolutely.
26:15And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:18Please, Vic, not for me.
26:21For them.
26:22That's for them.
26:23I would have expected them to be here in Paris,
26:26you know, for such a make-or-break show.
26:28What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:32They, they couldn't make it.
26:35Holly cut the travel budget.
26:38Is that right?
26:41Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
26:45They do.
26:47Fine.
26:49I'll help you.
26:50But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
26:53Not for you.
27:05Oh my God.
27:06It's Victoria Winter.
27:08The nuclear VEC.
27:09I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric, now.
27:19I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:22Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:24Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:37Vincent, how did you...
27:39I figured you might need some supplies, so
27:42I had my assistant bring over Jovan's emergency kit.
27:48This is perfect, but Jovaine and Maison Laveau are competitors. Why would you help them?
27:55I'm not helping them. I'm helping you.
28:01I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:04I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone. It's yours now.
28:11I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:15Then what do you want?
28:17You.
28:20What?
28:24Your talent. Your vision. Come and work as Jovaine.
28:30I'm in. I'll work for you.
28:34Just like that?
28:35Just like that. Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
29:07She's doing it in minutes. What would have taken us hours?
29:11Whoa. No wonder they call her the nuclear Vick.
29:15It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:19The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:27Five minutes till showtime. We made it.
29:41Well, do we pull the plug or not?
29:44We're good. Everything's back on track.
29:47See? I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
29:51You've got twice her talent.
29:54Yeah, right.
29:56This is exactly why I promoted you.
29:59Your fix best is not make them.
30:07To Victoria.
30:10The real hero of the night.
30:21Mom, you're insane.
30:23I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:27Couldn't have done it without you.
30:30You know, if you start dating before you work together,
30:33it doesn't count as an office romance.
30:40Well, well, still hanging around.
30:43I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
30:46Fraud.
30:48Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
30:52What are you talking about?
30:54Just ask the models.
30:56Any of them.
30:58Oh, and Mia.
31:00Don't forget about our agreement.
31:02About Miranda and Pauline.
31:04I won't.
31:09Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:13Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:18Speaking of new beginnings.
31:21Emily's private school applications to do next month, right?
31:25I want to help.
31:27With their education.
31:28What?
31:30Vincent, that's too much.
31:31We barely know each other.
31:35Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
31:39I remember watching you win that regional competition.
31:44In that silver dress.
31:46The one you made from scratch.
31:47I saw the way your eyes lit up.
31:51When you talked about changing the fashion world.
31:55You remember that.
31:56I remember everything.
32:00I have followed your career.
32:03All these years.
32:04Just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:08Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:10You were married.
32:13And then you weren't.
32:15And then you were building your career.
32:17The timing was never right.
32:21Until now.
32:31I have been waiting 20 years to do this.
32:47I should probably get this.
32:59Mia?
33:03God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:06That Milan disaster you turned around.
33:08Absolute magic.
33:09And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
33:14Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:20Sean Gosling?
33:21The Sean Gosling?
33:23The very one.
33:24Three time Oscar winner.
33:25People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:27And if we play our cards right.
33:29The next face of Maison Leveaux is menswear.
33:32They're taking pitches now.
33:34If he picks yours.
33:36This changes everything.
33:37For you.
33:38For the brand.
33:39Where it is.
33:41Joven's in the running too.
33:43Land this.
33:44Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
33:49Seal the deal.
33:50I'll bump your pay by 20%.
33:53I've got this Holly.
33:55You won't regret it.
34:02God, what am I gonna do?
34:04I can't design menswear.
34:06I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:10Miranda and Pauline are gone too.
34:12I'm completely on my own.
34:14If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria.
34:22Maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over.
34:46Thanks for meeting me.
34:48I know things are complicated between us.
34:50You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
34:52Cut to the chase.
34:56We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux.
34:58Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
35:00Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:02She can handle this without me.
35:03Please, wait. There's more to it.
35:05After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:09Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:12I've been fighting for them.
35:13Are you serious?
35:15Pauline's due any day now.
35:17Trust 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.
35:30I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
35:33Actually, I was sketching in your tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison alone.
35:37Really? What concept?
35:42Well.
35:56Perfect if she's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:00I'll use her design to save my ass and lay on this project.
36:05Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:08I do.
36:10Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
36:15Wait.
36:16Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:19How 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.
36:27Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:31Of course, Vic.
36:33Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:38You need to think about it.
36:40Take all the time you need it.
36:42Mia.
36:44Don't make me regret trusting you.
36:47Again.
37:04Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:06Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:11The Sean Gosselin one with the black satin lapels?
37:14That's the one.
37:15Can you check my home office?
37:16It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:21Got it.
37:22Grace is napping.
37:23The perfect timing.
37:24Thanks, sweetie.
37:25I just need to double check something about that.
37:31Shoulder.
37:32Instruction.
37:34Mom, are you okay?
37:40Miranda?
37:42Vic?
37:46Mom, mom, mom, what's going on?
37:50Emily, I'll call you right back.
37:53Brenda, what happened?
37:55Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
37:57Bills don't pay themselves.
37:59You met my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
38:05Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
38:09What?
38:11Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:15After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:20No severance, no cover, and nothing.
38:22Just gone.
38:24That's completely illegal.
38:25So, company lawyer said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
38:31All at once.
38:33What are the odds, right?
38:35And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours down here, her sister medical bills keep piling up.
38:47And Mia knew about all this.
38:50Mia.
38:51Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
38:55Didn't even blink.
38:56Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
39:01She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
39:05Telling me her draw depended on me helping her.
39:08What?
39:09That bitch.
39:13This ends now.
39:20Damn it!
39:25Miss, Miss Michael.
39:27He's just arrived from Milan.
39:29We need approval by noon for them.
39:31Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:42What are y'all looking at?
39:43Get back to work.
39:45Victoria would never treat us.
39:49I heard that.
39:50You think Victoria is so perfect?
39:53Then where is she now?
39:55Gone.
39:56Now I'm in charge.
39:57And if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:01Well, at least you could actually design it.
40:08What the hell is going on here?
40:10Just a great disagreement.
40:12Everything's in control.
40:14The Gosling page.
40:15Tell me you have something presentable.
40:19Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:22Show me.
40:24It's not quite ready.
40:31This is garbage.
40:34Absolute garbage.
40:35I just need a little more time.
40:37We don't have more time.
40:38This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
40:41If Shofen gets this deal instead of us...
40:46What's that?
40:52It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
40:57I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
41:00Get me when I design my tomorrow morning.
41:02Or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:08Mama.
41:28I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:36Right on cue.
41:40Meet that sketch ASAP.
41:43Miranta and Pauline's futures depend on it.
41:46The absolute nerve of this woman.
41:51She'll get her a sketch.
41:52And that's where we spring the trap.
42:06You're early.
42:07Vic, I really need that sketch.
42:18I said I'd help.
42:20Not hand over my design.
42:22Holly's all over me about this.
42:24If I don't have something tonight,
42:26Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:29Still lying, Mia.
42:31You never learn.
42:32Guess it's payback time.
42:35So, do you want my help or not?
42:37I can walk you through it.
42:39Your design could be just as good.
42:41She's such a snake.
42:44Vic, my stomach is killing me.
42:46Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
42:50Fine.
42:50Don't touch anything.
43:17Sorry, Vic.
43:19Survival of the fittest.
43:33You just let her take your work?
43:35She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
43:40You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
43:43Go after the same clients.
43:45Show them what real design looks like.
43:49We're not out yet.
43:55Oh, there's a revolution, bro.
44:08Baker, you can use all the backup you can get.
44:14You're welcome, Mom.
44:18I want you and your team as your van.
44:23Full creative control.
44:26I'm Miranda.
44:27Your husband's debt, handled.
44:30And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:34Mr. Chevalier, I...
44:37I'm Pauline.
44:38Your sister is in good hands.
44:41The best heart surgeon in the country.
44:43It's already prepping for her next surgery.
44:46Mr. Chevalier!
44:48Thank you!
44:50Don't thank me.
44:51Thank Victoria.
44:53I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
44:57Vincent, I...
44:58I don't even know what to say.
45:01It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:27I've got to try.
45:27I don't think you've got to be part of it.
45:27Have a great day.
46:10And you're still here.
46:12Final tweaks.
46:13The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:19You'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.
46:38Remember, smile.
46:40We're about to make history.
46:44Maison Laveau sets the bar.
46:47We don't follow trends.
46:48We create them.
46:55Satin 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.
47:13What 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.
47:37I multitask.
47:38Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
47:43You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategy's working wonders.
47:47The office is so empty, it echoes.
47:50And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
47:55Pregnant woman talk, you know.
47:57Three X employees and a viable CEO.
48:00What's next?
48:01A fake sale?
48:03Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:05You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:07And what real loyalty looks like.
48:22Sean, glad you can 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.
48:42Let's begin the pitches.
48:45You ready to lose?
48:46You're out of your league.
48:48You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
48:57First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:17Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:21Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:32Next, Victoria, and Pauline, and Pauline.
49:34Next, Victoria, and Pauline.
49:34Next, Victoria, and Pauline, and Pauline.
49:53Oh, it's for sure.
49:56This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:07What the hell did you people put me in? Are you trying to kill me?
50:12Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk. Who designed this Tuxedo?
50:17Did you even read the brief?
50:20I mean, you must have read the brief. It's not complicated. It says no synthetic blend.
50:28I mean, must be some kind of mistake. Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
50:33A mistake? I could have ended up in the emergency room.
50:38Victoria, please, tell these amateurs why you pulled your last design.
50:49I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic. I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
50:56And that's why Victoria is the best. She actually pays attention.
51:01After reviewing all of the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
51:05The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline, which are done.
51:11Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up. Mia's design was the front runner all along. That's why they picked
51:17her first.
51:22Maybe everyone should see this.
51:29Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:36Not so near low. Even for you.
51:42Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
51:46And so you know, I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
51:54Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
51:57We're suspending all collaborations.
52:09Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:12You're blacklisted.
52:18Victoria, please.
52:27Victoria, please.
52:30I'll do anything.
52:31Please just help me save the company, the brand that you built for 15 years.
52:36You made your choices, Holly.
52:38Now you live with them.
52:42Why did we went too far?
52:49Sean 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.
53:05To the best comeback in fashion history.
53:08And to the women who made it happen.
53:11And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:17Mom.
53:18You might want to see this.
53:29Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:34Happy birthday to you!
53:40Guys, look!
53:44Maison Laveau on the brink.
53:46The scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
53:49Ouch!
53:51I guess karma has a sense of humor.
53:53It's strange, isn't it?
53:59It's strange, isn't it?
53:59We gave them everything.
54:01Late nights, weekends, all the best years and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:08Now it's all crashing down.
54:10I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:12But honestly, it's a weird mix.
54:15Relief?
54:16Sure, but 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!
54:33You did this!
54:35Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
54:41Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
54:46Careful, Vincent.
54:47You almost forgot the best part.
55:00Victoria Winterer.
55:04Will you marry me?
55:06Will you marry me?
55:10Yes!
55:11A thousand times yes!
55:13Jamie, it's my favorite์ ers.
55:23I know.
55:25Go!
55:27Go!
55:30Go!
55:33Those are the best ever!
55:35Good!
55:37Good!
55:51You 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.
56:05I couldn't stop it.
56:08You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
56:14I know. I know.
56:18My father, the stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
56:25I destroyed everything.
56:28I thought slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
56:34I didn't mean to pretend like this.
56:38Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it. Last week.
56:43The brand. The archives. Even the debt. It's part of Given now.
56:50You bought it? Why would you do that?
56:52To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:00You win, Victoria.
57:02I hope you do better than I did.
57:04I'll do it differently.
57:08Goodbye, Holly.
57:25Miss Winter, I just wanted to thank you. Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave. I can't
57:36keep working and have my baby.
57:40You changed everything.
57:43Congratulations.
57:45Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
57:57Ready?
58:01Always.
58:12And now, Jovan's new collection designed by Victoria Wintour and Ruthie.
58:18jumbo RV.
58:45While you are down and you are looking for a positive impression, you have to bleed out in the unsecured
58:48way.
