00:00:00Fashionistas and trendsetters polish up your stilettos and bring out your finest couture
00:00:10because Fashion Week is officially four weeks away, but we have some tea to spill.
00:00:16Rumor has it, former queen of designer footwear Delaney Diaz is vying to regain her throne,
00:00:22but after Delaney's public stumble from high fashion, she's gonna need to put her best foot
00:00:27forward. It's make or break time. Will Delaney rule the runways again or be destined for the
00:00:32walk of shame? Stay tuned.
00:00:48Wow, Addy, looks like a whole new shoe.
00:00:51Well, Mr. Simmons likes to stand out. Just because he works in construction doesn't mean he can't be
00:00:56stylish. You have so many great designs. I bet if we tried we could make some of these right here in
00:01:01the shop. Oh, we're barely keeping up with repairs. Besides, I doubt Mr. Simmons is in the market for
00:01:06kitten heels. She's down. You sing my little angel to sleep? Oh, your little angel thinks that I need
00:01:13a vocal coach. In five months, her father will be on leave and he can take over the lullaby duties.
00:01:18Well, I have been trying to teach her thumbs down. Oh, thank you so much for that. Yeah,
00:01:22she's really got the spirit of it for sure. By the way, you're gonna be singing my praises pretty soon.
00:01:28I got you a job. Another one? I still have to stuff goodie bags for Ruby's birthday party. No,
00:01:35no, no, no. I met this lady, Janice, at Mommy and Me class and she works in HR at Delaney Diaz.
00:01:41She said that there's an opening at the front desk. Wait, the Delaney Diaz? I don't get the
00:01:46excitement about her. Dad, she is a pioneer in women's designer footwear. Look at this act.
00:01:55Crystal shoes are practical. That's not the point. It shows that artistry and new ideas can emerge in
00:02:01unexpected places. A Diaz is one of a kind. Apparently, Mrs. Hollingsworth said the same thing
00:02:07when she dropped off her Diaz's. Where? And let me guess, she asked for Addie specifically.
00:02:14She's her number one customer for a reason. I can't believe how much money she makes buying
00:02:18these old designer shoes and having you to restore them. Look at this iconic shoe. Suede insoles
00:02:26creates a luxurious foot pad. She was at the top of her game when these came out.
00:02:31Was is the key word, though. She's traded style for sellability with her new stuff.
00:02:36Too much success can ruin a brand. I still think she's brilliant.
00:02:40I think your designs are better. Listen, it's just a receptionist job for now,
00:02:45but it's also a foot in the door. You know, maybe you could show her your designs.
00:02:49It would be cool to meet her. Well, think about it.
00:02:52Mm, can't. I already told her that you would be perfect for the job,
00:02:57so she wants to interview you tomorrow.
00:02:59Claudia, no. I mean, what about the shop?
00:03:02Dad and I have got the shop. It's Manhattan. It's really far away.
00:03:08Dad, what do you think?
00:03:09I want my daughters to follow their dreams.
00:03:12What are you doing? Get out of here.
00:03:19Okay.
00:03:19Okay.
00:03:19And another one bites the dust.
00:03:47Picking up or dropping off?
00:03:48I'm here for Janice. I'm interviewing for the receptionist job.
00:03:52Oh, thank the good Lord. You're hired.
00:03:54Sit, Thomas. You must be Addie Connors' Claudia sister?
00:03:57Yes.
00:03:58Well, you came at the perfect time. We have a more pressing position that just opened.
00:04:01Oh, no. She can't. Look at her outfit. She's not ready.
00:04:06Ignore him. Thomas is filling in. He's our floater.
00:04:09Actually, I'm her assistant. Floater's below my pay grade.
00:04:11Thank you for your service. Come on, Addie. Let's go chat.
00:04:14Delaney Diaz, please hold.
00:04:19I'm not going to sugarcoat it, Addie. This place is not for the weak. I hope you know how to juggle.
00:04:22Oh, I'm a good multitasker. I answer the phones at my father's shop while working the register.
00:04:26How are you with people?
00:04:28Delaney is, let's say, particular.
00:04:29Oh, people always say I'm cheerful. Could be worse, I guess.
00:04:34This is our main design area.
00:04:37Wow.
00:04:38This is a dream. I cannot believe I am standing where Delaney Diaz's shoes are made.
00:04:44It used to be made. We don't do couture anymore.
00:04:46I mean, our designers have everything within reach to test fabrics, stitching, color combos.
00:04:51But we send out their designs for samples to be made.
00:04:55This was Delaney's assistant's desk.
00:04:59She didn't even take her personals.
00:05:00The tantrum I saw earlier?
00:05:02Kendra. I knew she wouldn't last long. She cried on day two.
00:05:05How long did she work here?
00:05:06Three weeks. Better than most. It's the fifth assistant we've lost this year.
00:05:10Janice, payroll needs to speak with you ASAP. Kendra's seeking psychological damages.
00:05:15Not another one.
00:05:16Okay, Delaney has a meeting in 15 minutes. Thomas, we need to clear this before she sees it.
00:05:21Can you...
00:05:21Sure.
00:05:22Oh, what's that?
00:05:24I think my phone's ringing and a delivery's here and the lobby's on fire.
00:05:32I'll get it.
00:05:33You are a savior. The kitchen is through there.
00:05:36Come to reception when you're done.
00:05:38But be quick. Delaney will lose her mind if she sees you in those flats.
00:05:46Oh, no.
00:06:00I am so sorry.
00:06:02It's okay.
00:06:03I didn't see you come out.
00:06:05You know what? I can fix this.
00:06:07Come with me.
00:06:12Okay, take your shoes off.
00:06:14Why do I feel like I'm getting mugged?
00:06:15Well, call the fashion police because I'm saving both our jobs.
00:06:20Delaney cannot see copy scene shoes on the floor.
00:06:23Are you a new designer?
00:06:24Me? Oh, no. I applied for the receptionist job.
00:06:26I made them two-toned so that they'd have a little bit more flair.
00:06:48I like them. I actually love them.
00:06:58Oh.
00:07:00Oh.
00:07:02Sorry. I was just trying to put them over there.
00:07:05Yeah.
00:07:08Addie. Connors.
00:07:10Austin.
00:07:10Strickland.
00:07:13I'm impressed. You're kind of like a rebel.
00:07:15Busting into the design studio like that.
00:07:18I like to think of myself as a creative problem solver.
00:07:21What were you doing over there?
00:07:23Oh, Delaney's assistant quit. I was helping clean up her stuff.
00:07:27How long have you worked here for?
00:07:29Oh, I've known these offices since I could walk.
00:07:31Well, now you can walk around the offices in custom shoes.
00:07:35Maybe you'll get a raise.
00:07:36Maybe you will.
00:07:38Come with me.
00:07:38Um, I actually have to meet with Janice to finish my interview.
00:07:43Oh, trust me. I have someone you need to meet.
00:07:50Wow.
00:07:56Is this your office?
00:07:58No.
00:08:00It's Delaney's.
00:08:02Uh, are you sure we can be in here?
00:08:05Oh, relax. Embrace your rebellious side. It's more fun that way.
00:08:08But she has a meeting right now. What if they catch us?
00:08:11I know.
00:08:12Now it's with me and you.
00:08:15Delaney!
00:08:18You look ravishing today.
00:08:22I don't succumb to flattery. You know that.
00:08:24Yeah.
00:08:25Who is this? Why is she in my office?
00:08:27I would like for you to meet your new assistant.
00:08:30Addie Connors.
00:08:31What happened at Kipper?
00:08:32Uh, Kipper? Kendra!
00:08:34Yeah, no, she left.
00:08:36Weakling.
00:08:36Okay. We have about a month until Fashion Week.
00:08:40You need someone reliable.
00:08:42This is reliable?
00:08:43Mm-hmm.
00:08:44Have you seen her shoes?
00:08:46Have you seen mine?
00:08:49Where did you get those?
00:08:51Five minutes ago. Here.
00:08:52Thanks to Addie Connors.
00:08:56You smile a lot.
00:08:57Yeah.
00:08:58Well, how could I not?
00:08:59I am standing in front of Delaney freaking Diaz.
00:09:02I mean, come on.
00:09:06Okay, you can go now.
00:09:08Before you call security on me, I just have to say,
00:09:10I think you're a genius.
00:09:11A legend in footwear.
00:09:13Wearing your shoes is like putting your best foot forward.
00:09:16Uh, anyway, that's all.
00:09:22Um, it's been an honor.
00:09:24And love your office.
00:09:27It's good.
00:09:30Yeah, listen, hear me out.
00:09:32She's filled with potential.
00:09:34It's not the end of the world.
00:09:41You still have a job here.
00:09:42Ugh.
00:09:43I just shouldn't have gone.
00:09:46Delaney Diaz is a star.
00:09:48Light years away from someone like me.
00:09:50I mean, look at my shoes.
00:09:51I don't belong in Manhattan.
00:09:53I just shouldn't have turned into a crazed fangirl
00:09:57and completely embarrassed myself.
00:09:59You just didn't ask for an autograph.
00:10:01Did you?
00:10:01Yeah.
00:10:04What?
00:10:12Did they send you a restraining order?
00:10:15I got the job.
00:10:18On a trial basis, but
00:10:20they want me to be Delaney Diaz's assistant.
00:10:23Ah!
00:10:34Good morning, new girl.
00:10:42See you dressed for your funeral.
00:10:43Good thinking ahead.
00:10:44Planning ahead would be getting the mouthy floater
00:10:47the best to clear in Connecticut.
00:10:49I like you.
00:10:51Delaney left this for you.
00:10:52Um, when does she want all this done?
00:10:58I don't know.
00:10:58I don't know.
00:10:58I don't know.
00:10:59Why not?
00:11:00What happens?
00:11:00I don't know.
00:11:01I don't know.
00:11:01It's your funeral.
00:11:12Okay.
00:11:13Just breathe.
00:11:14You can do this.
00:11:15Go, go.
00:11:25I had a list?
00:11:26I gave it to Addie this morning.
00:11:27Oh, Delaney.
00:11:41Good morning.
00:11:41How are you today?
00:11:43I don't do small talk, especially not before I've had my iced chai latte.
00:11:46Well, oh, you want me to speak?
00:11:52Iced chai latte was on the list.
00:11:54Oh, right.
00:11:56I put it right on your desk and I watered your orchids.
00:12:06Seems you watered the latte as well.
00:12:09Sorry, I can get you another one.
00:12:11And what pre-till have you accomplished today?
00:12:14Where's my dry cleaning?
00:12:15I thought that was a lower priority.
00:12:17I was going to pick that up tomorrow.
00:12:19It was on the list for today.
00:12:22I thought this list was for the week.
00:12:25Well, you thought wrong.
00:12:27Uh, right.
00:12:28Uh, I'm on it.
00:12:31Uh, and for the food for the meeting, uh, did you...
00:12:33Expect an iced chai latte ten minutes ago?
00:12:36Yes, I did.
00:12:38Of course.
00:12:45Oh, Delaney does not like food on the workspace.
00:12:54Great.
00:12:55Another thing I messed up.
00:12:57I have until fashion week to not get fired.
00:12:59I don't think I'm going to make it through this trial period.
00:13:01She already eats me.
00:13:03Just give her a chance.
00:13:04You know, that tough exterior, there's a really good heart.
00:13:06You just got to keep digging.
00:13:07Oh, yeah?
00:13:08With an excavator?
00:13:09Sometimes.
00:13:11Delaney came up at a business dominated by men.
00:13:13She had to be fierce to succeed.
00:13:15You know, you're really good at public relations.
00:13:17And you really do ooze of positivity and charm.
00:13:21So what's your story?
00:13:22How did you see through her tough exterior?
00:13:25Delaney was my mom's best friend.
00:13:26And when my mom passed away, she stuck around.
00:13:31I'm sorry.
00:13:33I lost my mom, too, a few years ago.
00:13:36You really do remember who supports you in that time.
00:13:39So is that why you represent her now?
00:13:42No.
00:13:42My father owns the PR company.
00:13:45And Delaney has been a long-time client.
00:13:47Not without challenges.
00:13:49Especially since she got sued for stealing ideas by her assistant.
00:13:54The guy was disgruntled.
00:13:55It was all false, but the headlines and the rumors remain.
00:13:58Which I think is what hardened her a bit.
00:14:00Well, yeah.
00:14:01I can understand why.
00:14:02Yeah, well, I'm trying to get her back to the top, but...
00:14:05Fashion Week is making it or breaking it for all of us.
00:14:07Oh, is she in trouble?
00:14:09Franco Schuster is attempting a hostile buyout.
00:14:11He wants to use her label as his discount brand.
00:14:14If I don't get any buyers on this runway show I'm part of,
00:14:17she's going to be forced to sell.
00:14:19That would ruin her legacy.
00:14:20You think more like Delaney than you know.
00:14:27I knew sticking my neck out for you would pay off.
00:14:35What?
00:14:36These are supposed to attract buyers?
00:14:38The meeting's in a few minutes.
00:14:40Don't blame me.
00:14:41I'm just a pretty face.
00:14:45You're not putting on me just yet, are you?
00:14:46No, never.
00:14:48Just give me a few seconds.
00:14:58Perfect.
00:14:59Hurry, Delaney's within striking distance.
00:15:01Here, grab the numbers.
00:15:02Okay.
00:15:04Here we go.
00:15:07Here, here.
00:15:08Yeah, it looks great.
00:15:10Okay, perfect.
00:15:12It's great.
00:15:12Everything is ready for the buyer's meeting.
00:15:19I'm happy.
00:15:22Adequate.
00:15:23Finally.
00:15:27Please.
00:15:28After you have a seat.
00:15:33Thanks, everyone.
00:15:34Shall we get started?
00:15:35Now, as you can see, we've done the pump in a very classic style.
00:15:43This holds a wide appeal, I think, to your clientele.
00:15:46We can do that in a variety of colors.
00:15:48The boot we've done in this beautiful calfskin.
00:15:51Again, a very familiar design to help move volume.
00:15:54The boots?
00:15:56I'll take as many units as the manufacturer can produce before next season.
00:15:59Excellent.
00:16:00I will have the team get on that right away.
00:16:03If I may, Renee, just the boots?
00:16:06At this price, how can I refuse?
00:16:14My apologies.
00:16:15There appears to be a little misprint.
00:16:18I am so sorry.
00:16:20I didn't realize that the numbers corresponded with the prices.
00:16:23Well, Renee, we won't waste any more of your precious time.
00:16:26I will personally see to it that you get the correct price list,
00:16:30and we can reconvene at a later date.
00:16:32We're meeting with Franco Chaussure later this week.
00:16:35Are you sure you want to reschedule?
00:16:38I'm sure that you and I can work something out.
00:16:41Why don't we talk a little more in my office?
00:16:44Austin, would you?
00:16:46Right this way.
00:16:51I am so sorry.
00:16:52I was rushing to get things ready, and I wanted to look nice.
00:16:55Excuses, Addie.
00:16:57They're tools of apathy.
00:16:58All they do is ensure that your life remains the same today as it was yesterday.
00:17:03Now, is that what you want for yourself?
00:17:05No.
00:17:06No.
00:17:06Hey, what are you doing?
00:17:27I said I would help.
00:17:28Four days ago.
00:17:29Oh, I'm sorry.
00:17:31I'm so stressed with this new job.
00:17:34Where's Ruby?
00:17:35With Aunt Carla.
00:17:37She got a deal on these Jordan almonds and insisted that I use them in the goodie bags.
00:17:42Oh, well, at least let me help.
00:17:45Oh, how was your first day?
00:17:47Ever heard the saying, never meet your idols?
00:17:50Oh, she that bad?
00:17:51No, it's me.
00:17:53I'm just not cut out for this job.
00:17:55This world.
00:17:56Hey, you are an incredible designer.
00:17:58This world needs to be cut out for you.
00:18:00I just don't know if I can keep up.
00:18:02And why would you stick his neck out for me?
00:18:06He who?
00:18:07Um, Austin.
00:18:08He's the PR guy.
00:18:09I ruined his shoes and then I fixed them and he stood up for me with Delaney and got me
00:18:13the job.
00:18:14Wow.
00:18:15Real Prince Charming.
00:18:17Is he cute?
00:18:18So what's your move tomorrow, huh?
00:18:24You're going to stain his shirt and then he gets you a raise?
00:18:28Or, better yet, he could take it off for you.
00:18:31Claudia?
00:18:32What a mother.
00:18:33Uh, yeah, because Scott took his shirt off.
00:18:37No, he works for Delaney.
00:18:38It's too risky.
00:18:41But this is my one chance to live out my dream and with my idol, no less.
00:18:47I doubt Delaney even wants me back.
00:18:49I'm sure I will get an email from HR any moment.
00:18:52She wants me to pick up her dry cleaning.
00:19:05See, mean, pretty women are never stupid.
00:19:09She knows she's got a gem.
00:19:11Oh, stop.
00:19:14Oh, I'm so lucky to have you here for me and Ruby while Scott's away.
00:19:17I'll always be here for you.
00:19:19Both of you.
00:19:21Wait, where are you going?
00:19:22I'm going to read your closet because I need help with a new wardrobe.
00:19:25Not the new one!
00:19:45Oh, that's mine.
00:19:48Oh.
00:19:49I just...
00:19:49Maybe you need an extra hand.
00:19:51And then some.
00:19:53Come have a seat with me.
00:19:54I can't let Delaney's ice melt.
00:19:55Right.
00:19:56Yeah.
00:19:56Well, I'm going to show you a trick so it never melts again.
00:19:59Come on.
00:20:03Okay.
00:20:03So what is this trick?
00:20:05Well, all you have to do is grab a batch of fresh ice on your way out.
00:20:09Voila.
00:20:09Oh, that is very clever.
00:20:16I owe you one.
00:20:18I was hoping you'd say that.
00:20:20I'm trying to get Delaney to one of my events.
00:20:22You think you could help me out with that?
00:20:24Me?
00:20:25I can't get her to do anything.
00:20:27You got this.
00:20:28Um, I can try.
00:20:32Oh!
00:20:34No, no, no.
00:20:35Allow me.
00:20:35Oh.
00:20:36Oh, what is this?
00:20:39That's nothing.
00:20:40It's just a notebook.
00:20:41This was a good campaign.
00:20:43Yeah.
00:20:43I would know.
00:20:44I came up with it.
00:20:45Yeah, when I was in college, my dad invited me to go into one of the marketing meetings.
00:20:49I had the audacity to speak up.
00:20:51They loved it.
00:20:52And that was it.
00:20:54I can't believe that.
00:20:55This ad has inspired me so much.
00:20:57And it was you.
00:20:59What are these?
00:21:00Oh, they're nothing.
00:21:02They're just sketches.
00:21:02I like to draw when I'm at my dad's shop.
00:21:05It's just a hobby.
00:21:06I'm not a designer or anything.
00:21:07Well, this notebook says otherwise.
00:21:09I am just trying to survive Delaney's shoe empire.
00:21:12Oh, I get that.
00:21:14For now, you might want to tuck this away.
00:21:16I mean, Delaney has some trust issues.
00:21:18She doesn't discuss anything other than with her design team.
00:21:21You should see their contracts.
00:21:22They're ironclad.
00:21:24Just promise me one thing.
00:21:26Don't pitch her just yet.
00:21:28Because if you do, we might never work in the city ever again.
00:21:33Oh.
00:21:34Yeah.
00:21:35Understood.
00:21:37So what's this event?
00:21:38Technically, it's my dad's event.
00:21:40But I have a few out-of-the-box ideas I want to pitch, which is why I need Delaney.
00:21:44And if you wanted to come by and maybe be her bumper, huh?
00:21:48Her bumper?
00:21:50Yeah.
00:21:50What is that?
00:21:51You know how much she hates the chit-chat and smiling for cameras?
00:21:55I think I can handle that.
00:21:56Yeah?
00:21:57Yeah.
00:21:57I really see you with a bulletproof vest and some sunglasses.
00:22:01Well, I admire your unwavering faith in me.
00:22:03I know special when I see it.
00:22:07Um, but in all honesty, though, earn Delaney Diaz's trust and she'll invite you in.
00:22:13And then she'll have you sign a 50-page contract.
00:22:16Easy.
00:22:16Yeah, she doesn't fire me first.
00:22:18Well, make sure that doesn't happen.
00:22:20We'll just get some more ice.
00:22:21Okay.
00:22:29No.
00:22:30Walking on glass would be more comfortable.
00:22:32He's all tested very well.
00:22:34With who?
00:22:35Someone with hoops?
00:22:36Sorry, is this a medical condition?
00:22:41Mm-hmm.
00:22:42Oh, uh, no, no, no.
00:22:44I just...
00:22:45Sentences, my love.
00:22:46Sentences.
00:22:47Well, why not go back to the suede insole?
00:22:52Mrs. Hollingsworth loves the suede insole.
00:22:55She says that it's like walking on air.
00:22:56I'm sorry, who is Mrs. Hollingsworth?
00:22:58Oh, she's a client at my dad's shoe repair shop.
00:23:00What school did you graduate from?
00:23:06Parsons, NYU?
00:23:08Oh, um, none of the above.
00:23:11But I did take courses at community college.
00:23:14I'll let the team go back to the drawing board.
00:23:16Uh, just take out the millennial collection
00:23:18and let's have a look at the suede insole.
00:23:28Have you lost your mind?
00:23:30Because of the insoles?
00:23:32You have me attending an art opening
00:23:34hosted by Robert Strickland.
00:23:36They are notoriously boring.
00:23:38Uh, well...
00:23:38Thank God Austin inherited his mother's creativity.
00:23:41Well, he's invited a lot of press.
00:23:43I think it's a great idea.
00:23:46You do.
00:23:47And how many reporters have tried to mortify you
00:23:50for clickbait?
00:23:51Well, Morgan Humphries once took a photo of my skirt
00:23:54tucked into my tights and sent it to the entire 10th grade.
00:23:57I was horrified.
00:23:58I even called my dad to come pick me up,
00:23:59but he told me I had to stay and face it.
00:24:02And then Joey Lieberman
00:24:03ended up calling Coach Thomas' mom
00:24:05and everyone forgot about me for the rest of the day.
00:24:09Okay, good.
00:24:10Uh, next time spare me the details
00:24:12of your painfully tedious memoir.
00:24:14Just cancel.
00:24:16Oh, but Austin would be so disappointed.
00:24:19He has one of his out-of-the-box ideas.
00:24:24His dad's been really hard on him.
00:24:26I know it would mean a lot if you could see it.
00:24:33Austin's father is very hard on him sometimes.
00:24:36All right.
00:24:41I'll make an appearance.
00:24:4215 minutes, no more.
00:24:44But no less.
00:24:45I will let him know.
00:24:46And you will not let any reporters near me.
00:24:49And you will never do that again, please.
00:24:51Addie, what are you doing?
00:25:10Dad was about to call the cops.
00:25:11He thought it was another break-in.
00:25:13I promised I would work on Mrs. Hollingsworth's shoes.
00:25:15I'm so far behind.
00:25:18Well, I can help.
00:25:22No, you're busy enough with Ruby.
00:25:24Exactly.
00:25:25So when I need you to babysit,
00:25:27you're going to owe me big time.
00:25:29So, I was thinking popcorn and movies
00:25:32at your place for dinner tomorrow.
00:25:34I actually have an art show I have to go to.
00:25:37Oh, an art show.
00:25:39That's great.
00:25:40So, what are you going to wear?
00:25:42I don't know.
00:25:43Black, I guess.
00:25:45No.
00:25:50You're going to wear red.
00:25:52I can't.
00:25:53These are Mrs. Hollingsworth's shoes.
00:25:55I bet if you call her and ask,
00:25:57she will let you borrow them.
00:25:59She adores you.
00:26:01Okay.
00:26:02You're an ass.
00:26:04Oh, they are pretty.
00:26:06Mm-hmm.
00:26:15Should we grab a photo on the carpet?
00:26:34If you have to grab for status, Addie, then you don't have any.
00:26:36Where's Austin?
00:26:39I texted him that we were here.
00:26:40He'll probably come find us.
00:26:42Typical Robert Strickland event.
00:26:45Swear, if in an elevator's more exciting.
00:26:47Man has not changed in 20 years.
00:26:50Well, Austin says he has something out of the box.
00:26:53Well, time is taking.
00:26:54Why don't you go get him before I fall asleep?
00:26:56Of course.
00:27:08Austin!
00:27:08Addie, you made it.
00:27:09Yeah.
00:27:10Have you seen Delaney?
00:27:11Yeah, she's here.
00:27:12Um, oh, she's over there.
00:27:15Oh, is that a smile?
00:27:16Yeah, that is.
00:27:18Betty Badgley from the Roussmore Foundation.
00:27:19That means we have ten minutes.
00:27:22Come on, I want to show you something.
00:27:23Oh, uh, okay.
00:27:35So, what do you think?
00:27:37This is amazing.
00:27:41The iconic crystal shoe.
00:27:44Yeah, I knew you'd appreciate that.
00:27:46You've created a very cool vibe.
00:27:49The party should be down here.
00:27:50Yeah, it's the only spot my dad let me have.
00:27:52He probably thought I was going to be out of the way.
00:27:55But this is why I need Delaney.
00:27:56Do you think people will follow her down here?
00:27:59Do you think your dad would announce there's a party down here?
00:28:02We don't want people to think Delaney's just running off.
00:28:04Hmm.
00:28:06Um, have you ever heard of a whisper campaign?
00:28:10Yeah.
00:28:11Yeah.
00:28:11Yeah.
00:28:12Yeah.
00:28:12Yeah.

00:33:49thank you thank you can I get your bag thanks where are you taking me well this is my latest out of the box idea
00:34:05wow the point is to make it rain Delaney Diaz shoes early in the morning to get the buzz in the busiest laneway of the district
00:34:14you want to try uh is it legal legal like littering or something well as long as it
00:34:23doesn't touch the ground otherwise I hope you have a good lawyer
00:34:29yes I bet you can't make it to the third line from here over there all right here we go
00:34:37littering citizens arrest you will not catch me
00:34:45I still can't believe you pulled over Armand Alonso the king of handbags himself
00:34:53I know I fully expect a melted chai latte dumped over my head in the morning before security escorts me
00:35:00out not before she asks you to remove her vintage shoes did you know she designed those
00:35:06where'd you get them they're out on loan I just wanted to fit in with the people at the party
00:35:12I mean they're fantastic like urban chic urban chic I like that we should use that in the show
00:35:19give Delaney Diaz her edge
00:35:23hey how come she doesn't design anymore
00:35:27uh well I think she lost confidence the industry doesn't really take her as seriously as they used to
00:35:36she had a few flops lost a lot of sales she had to transition towards you know more basic models
00:35:44for department stores to keep her brand afloat
00:35:48was that her idea it was my dad's actually and it worked
00:35:54I know she wants to go towards high fashion but she's afraid
00:35:57well she's about to get bought out now's the time to take a risk
00:36:03I couldn't agree more but we are outnumbered no one wants to take risks right now
00:36:09well your ideas are great social media is going to be
00:36:13buzzing tomorrow morning about the runway all thanks to you
00:36:17you should start your own PR firm do it your way thank you but my father owns the biggest PR
00:36:27company in all of New York I mean I would love to call the shots but it's a big leap
00:36:35well I wish I could practice what I preach but I'm still figuring out how or if I have a voice in
00:36:41this industry I feel kind of lost
00:36:53maybe maybe we all are
00:37:04all right last chance time to redeem yourself okay
00:37:11you um you're gonna bust me out of jail if this doesn't work right

00:38:07Oh! Good morning, Delaney. Um, I brought you a little treat. My sister made them. She's
00:38:24serving them at my niece's first birthday party. Sorry, no more of my boring memoir.
00:38:29They're chocolate truffles.
00:38:30Processed sugar, saturated fat. No thanks.
00:38:34I was hoping they could be an olive branch after last night's little mishap.
00:38:38Little mishap? That's what you call yanking a world-renowned handbag designer into your
00:38:42little rescue mission?
00:38:44It will never happen again. I will not let you down.
00:38:47That remains to be seen. Where's my schedule?
00:38:49Oh, it's right here, on your computer.
00:38:58I need you to add lunch for tomorrow.
00:39:00Of course. With whom?
00:39:01Armand Alance. His assistant will be going with details. Make sure you give me enough time.
00:39:06Oh! I mean, oh! I will add it to your calendar.
00:39:31So, that's probablycha.

00:40:09Oh yeah.
00:40:10It's her latest shoe.
00:40:11Ah.
00:40:12Is she making a comeback?
00:40:13That's the idea.
00:40:14She has a show at Fashion Week.
00:40:15Oh.
00:40:16I thought her days of high fashion were over.
00:40:17Well, she's reviving some of her signature style, suede, insoles, and everything.
00:40:21Hmm.
00:40:22Do you work for her?
00:40:23Yeah.
00:40:24I'm her personal assistant.
00:40:25I'm Addie.
00:40:26Are you a fan?
00:40:27I am.
00:40:28Is that a part of her new line?
00:40:29It's the day to night pump.
00:40:31So women can go from the office to a cocktail party without changing shoes?
00:40:35I love it.
00:40:36Am I able to see a little bit more of that?
00:40:38Fashion Week will have everything in our show.
00:40:40I look forward to it.
00:40:41Well, I will let you get back to work.
00:40:43Thanks again.
00:40:44Yeah.
00:40:49What did Andrea Walker want?
00:40:51Who?
00:40:52The person you were just talking to, Andrea Walker.
00:40:55Oh.
00:40:56I didn't get her name.
00:40:57She's a big fan of Delaney's.
00:40:58A fan?
00:40:59A fan of a hostile takeover.
00:41:01Maybe she works for Frankishire, sir.
00:41:04What?
00:41:05I can't believe they sent a spy.
00:41:06I mean, they do that.
00:41:07They're sneaky.
00:41:08You didn't say anything, did you?
00:41:09Uh.
00:41:10No, no.
00:41:11I just told her about the show, that's all.
00:41:13Now that you want to be in the fair, I don't know.
00:41:26Dad, you need to give them more air.
00:41:29Well, where's Addie?
00:41:30She's cause she's hopefully helping with Ruby's birthday.
00:41:31You know where.
00:41:32nowhere. I don't like this. You don't like change. She said she can't even pitch her
00:41:37designs at Delaney's, so what's the point? Well, it's a foot in the door. Plus, I think
00:41:43she has a work crush.
00:41:45Hi. Sorry I'm late. Glad you're here. Claudia hates my balloon technique. Oh, how are things
00:41:54with Mrs. Hollingsworth's shoes? She's coming on Monday. Don't tell me you forgot. No, no,
00:42:00not at all. I'm on it. I'm just, um, prioritizing. I'll be your biggest customer. And what about
00:42:07this morning? Where exactly do we fit on your priority list? It's not like you, Addie. Don't
00:42:12worry, Dad. I'll take care of it. Addie has a lot on her plate. I'm still picking up the
00:42:17cake today. Oh, no. Is something wrong with the cake? No, no. I have to go back into work.
00:42:28There's an emergency meeting. It's Sunday. We have Ruby's party and Sunday dinner. Work
00:42:33and wait. We haven't missed Sunday dinner since Mom died. I am so sorry, but Delaney is having
00:42:41a meltdown about the show. But I promise I will be back for both. And I'll have Aunt Carla
00:42:47pick up the cake, okay? Love you guys. I just need you to look past. No, but they even
00:43:03have the same scenes. It's not about the pants. Look at the stitching. I came as fast as I
00:43:08could. What's the big emergency? Franco Chaussier launches heels to take you from the office
00:43:16to a cocktail party. Yeah, that black pump is exactly like ours. And we were going to use
00:43:21it for the big finale in the show. We can't use it at all now. Now it's just gone. Poof.
00:43:25We are going to figure something out. They are clearly trying to sabotage the show to lock
00:43:29in the buyout. They even have a better tagline than we do. Why didn't we come up with that?
00:43:34Fashion week is two weeks out. This is a massive disaster. Listen, we've come too far to let
00:43:39them win, all right?
00:43:44Okay, message Alexander. Tell them to get the design team together to work on a new finale
00:43:47shoe. Adi, will you order us some food? It's going to be a long night.
00:43:51Oh, um, I kind of have a family commitment. I kind of have a crisis. You wanted a job
00:43:59in fashion. This is the job.
00:44:12No, see.
00:44:21Who's tapping? Sorry.
00:44:27So what do you think?
00:44:30Nothing speaks to me. Everything seems very basic.
00:44:33These are our last sketches. I can have the team start again tomorrow during work hours.
00:44:38Oh, I'm sorry. Is securing the future of our company a little inconvenient for you, Alexander?
00:44:42Not at all. I'm simply stating the obvious. You've rejected every design we have in the office.
00:44:45Okay. I just need to think. Will you gather all the maybes and I'll look at them later, okay?
00:44:58Okay.
00:44:59So, we both know that the maybes are not going to cut it. Is there anything that we can send
00:45:03the team?
00:45:04I'm sorry. I can't call and give them homework on a Sunday. Tomorrow we can start right away.
00:45:08Okay. We just need to convince her of that.
00:45:13That will take a miracle.
00:45:15Oh, no. No, no, no. She will not listen to me.
00:45:24She did about the sweet insoles.
00:45:25I give her iced chai lattes, not business advice.
00:45:28Just please go talk to her. See where her head's at.
00:45:41I'm thinking.
00:45:42I know. I just wanted to see if you needed anything.
00:45:48A miracle.
00:45:52So many so-called experts and not one worthy shoe. Not one.
00:45:56I think maybe you're looking for an external solution for an internal problem.
00:46:04So, this is my fault now?
00:46:06No, no, no. That's not what I meant. But the brand is called Delaney Diaz for a reason. It was built from you. So, maybe you just need to look within for the answers.
00:46:21Well, I haven't designed in years. Last time I did, it was a total flop. They said I was out of touch.
00:46:29Well, that was then.
00:46:31Truth is, I wasn't even crazy about that black pump. Now, those red shoes that you wore were some of my best work.
00:46:39Some of my best work. My favorite collection.
00:46:43Mine too.
00:46:44Where did you find that inspiration?
00:46:47Well, when I was young, I used to sit on the train and sketch. And I would sketch all the people around me from all walks of life. From punks to power brokers. I loved it. I loved all the bold contrasts.
00:47:03Well, maybe that's your answer. The trains, the power, the boldness, the urban chic.
00:47:12No, that's not what our buyers want.
00:47:14Well, maybe it's what the people want.
00:47:16People want what the buyers tell them to want. That's how it works. We have to stick to what we know.
00:47:22We call the boys in. I think I need to give the design team a clearer direction for tomorrow.
00:47:28I'm sorry. Is there something more important on your phone than my current crisis?
00:47:35Um, well...
00:47:38Addie, prosperity is born of difficult choices. Now, I think you have some talent. But do you have what it takes to be a success?
00:47:49Yes, I do.
00:47:51Good.
00:47:53Let me get back to work.
00:47:55Right away.
00:47:58Okay.
00:48:20Dad, you scared me.
00:48:22Likewise. Where were you today?
00:48:25We had a crisis.
00:48:26A crisis.
00:48:27A stock market crashing is a crisis. A tsunami is a crisis.
00:48:31What was so important that you had to miss Ruby's party and Sunday dinner?
00:48:35That's family tradition.
00:48:37A totally new shoe for Fashion Week.
00:48:40Delaney needed me.
00:48:42I'm sorry I missed everything, but, you know, I think I turned a corner with her.
00:48:47She said I have talent.
00:48:48Your sister was very hurt today by your absence. I was hurt. Family comes first in this house. Sunday dinner is how we honor your mother.
00:49:01I know. I know. I'm sorry.
00:49:05Life's about balance. This lady, does she even care about you? Having you do menial tasks all day?
00:49:09Addie, remember what matters.
00:49:17Now get some sleep. Talk more about this in the morning.
00:49:19Talk more about this in the morning.
00:49:50You look like The Walking Dead.
00:49:56Thank you for the compliment.
00:49:58Is this about the crisis?
00:50:00How did you hear about that already?
00:50:06She wants me to go downtown for spices? Come on!
00:50:09Assistant world is a thankless one.
00:50:18Code magma. Major eruption. Evacuate!
00:50:24Okay. You can do this. It's not a big deal. It's just delayed.
00:50:35Addie? Everything okay?
00:50:36You were going to commit career suicide in the lobby.
00:50:39If you need to take a pause, we can work something out.
00:50:42There's no need to involve Delaney.
00:50:44Involve me how?
00:50:46It's ten days to fashion week. Addie just seems a bit overwhelmed.
00:50:50Nothing to be alarmed about.
00:50:52Is that so?
00:50:54You're here early.
00:50:56Oh, I never left.
00:50:58Oh, look. No latte.
00:51:02Your feelings must be hurt.
00:51:03Well, I need to talk to you.
00:51:07I'll just be a phone call away.
00:51:10Certified in mediation.
00:51:15I, um...
00:51:17You know what? I am exhausted, so another chapter of your memoir will send me to the land of the undead.
00:51:24You slept here?
00:51:25You slept here?
00:51:27I didn't sleep.
00:51:35These are incredible.
00:51:37These are perfect for the show.
00:51:39Well, unfortunately not.
00:51:40Oh, you're crazy.
00:51:41No, I'm going to go with the design team on this one.
00:51:43We have a target market, and this is not the time to take risks.
00:51:46Well, some risks are worth taking.
00:51:48Your genius is what launched this company.
00:51:50I think that you should...
00:51:51Oh, is this what you wanted to talk to me about?
00:51:52Your expertise and experience in running an international brand?
00:51:56I thought that I was going to be learning more around here.
00:52:00Not someone pushed aside to run errands.
00:52:03Errands are the job, Addie.
00:52:05Was that not made clear?
00:52:06I missed my niece's birthday yesterday and Sunday night dinner.
00:52:09And I haven't missed a dinner since my mom passed.
00:52:13Look, that's a hard choice. I'm sorry, but it happens.
00:52:17This isn't me. I believe in balance.
00:52:19I think I can still be myself and hold on to what counts most.
00:52:22You should go home, Addie.
00:52:27Right now? I mean, I was supposed to...
00:52:29Go home. I will have Janice call you when it's time to come back.
00:52:36Okay, fine.
00:52:38I'll leave.
00:52:39I'll leave.
00:53:05Surprise!
00:53:07What do you think?
00:53:09I'm getting some influencers tomorrow to go take some pictures in it.
00:53:13Just to make a bit more noise on the socials.
00:53:16It's so fun.
00:53:18I love it.
00:53:20You know, you're my inspiration.
00:53:22I am?
00:53:23Yeah. I mean, your red pumps.
00:53:25It's got everyone talking about how fun and provocative Delaney Diaz shoes were.
00:53:29Are.
00:53:31Hey.
00:53:33You want to try it on?
00:53:35Yeah.
00:53:36You know, the store never really allowed me to have interactive displays.
00:53:39But, you know.
00:53:41You can't be tamed.
00:53:42You're absolutely beautiful.
00:53:43You're absolutely beautiful.
00:54:02Delaney fired me.
00:54:04What?
00:54:05No.
00:54:07Yeah.
00:54:08I don't really blame her.
00:54:10I mean, I don't really think I'm cut out for this.
00:54:12I don't want to be ruthless and cold.
00:54:15Well, you're not.
00:54:16And neither is Delaney.
00:54:17Well, she coldly asked me to leave.
00:54:21Uh-huh.
00:54:23So.
00:54:25What are you still doing here?
00:54:28Well, I made you a promise.
00:54:31I don't want to let down the people around me anymore.
00:54:35That's a good quality to have.
00:54:38Well, it's not a popular one.
00:54:40Most people see it as weak.
00:54:42Well, popular ideas aren't always the right ones.
00:54:51This is excellent.
00:54:54I think it'll go viral.
00:54:56Yeah.
00:54:58Yeah.
00:54:59Yeah, my father, uh, didn't let me do what I wanted to do on the runway.
00:55:02So I figured I'd do this instead.
00:55:05Well, maybe it'll inspire Delaney.
00:55:07She is sketching again.
00:55:09Really?
00:55:10Yeah.
00:55:11And they're amazing.
00:55:12But she refuses to use them for the show.
00:55:15Well, maybe you got to her.
00:55:19She didn't actually utter the words you're fired, did she?
00:55:23No.
00:55:25But it was implied.
00:55:27There was a tone.
00:55:29I'm just saying.
00:55:31Hang on.
00:55:32Maybe she'll surprise you.
00:55:35This whole journey has been surprising.
00:55:37I don't know if I can take it anymore.
00:55:40I don't know how you handle this circus.
00:55:43Well, that's what's great about it, right?
00:55:45Life.
00:55:46Not knowing.
00:55:47It's...
00:55:52But if you gotta go, you gotta go.
00:55:55But before you do go, I would love it if you made me a clown shoe.
00:56:00You know, just for old time's sake.
00:56:02It would be the most stylish shoe you own.
00:56:04It would be an honor to wear your clown shoe.
00:56:06Don't you?
00:56:13I should go.
00:56:15Yeah.
00:56:16I have to catch the train and go to my dad's to see my sister before I go home.
00:56:22Well, at least let me give you a ride.
00:56:24Come on.
00:56:25Look at all your gifts.
00:56:31Wow.
00:56:37Hello.
00:56:38I'm here.
00:56:40And I have a friend with me.
00:56:42Addie.
00:56:43Can you believe this?
00:56:45This is incredible.
00:56:47Oh, hi.
00:56:49You must be Austin, right?
00:56:52Austin.
00:56:53Away from work shoes.
00:56:54Mm-mm.
00:56:58It's nice to meet you both.
00:56:59Thank you for letting me borrow Addie.
00:57:00She's been a really big help.
00:57:03What is all this?
00:57:06Please accept my apologies for keeping your aunt from such a special day.
00:57:10Thank you for sharing.
00:57:11Best wishes, Delaney Diaz.
00:57:14P.S. Enjoy Monday dinner.
00:57:17Are you sure that's from Delaney?
00:57:19I thought I was fired.
00:57:20Also, Addie, if you need the time off, Janice will arrange it.
00:57:23I will be at the office at 8am tomorrow.
00:57:26That doesn't sound like a dismissal.
00:57:29I told you, she cares.
00:57:31Wow.
00:57:32I might be too shocked to eat.
00:57:34Looks like your boss does know how to prioritize.
00:57:36Let's eat and we can get to know Austin a little better.
00:57:39Dad, do not be weird.
00:57:41Please.
00:57:43Let's dig in.
00:57:44You're pretty good with your hands.
00:57:54How are you with leather?
00:57:56He has a job, Dad.
00:57:58I need a next set of hands around here now that you're leaving us for Delaney Diaz.
00:58:01Yes.
00:58:03I will always make time for you.
00:58:05Life's about balance, right?
00:58:07That's my girl.
00:58:09I'm the best.
00:58:10I should get her to bed.
00:58:11It might take a while.
00:58:12She requires lullabies.
00:58:14Yeah, because Claudia is tone deaf.
00:58:16Oh, thank you.
00:58:18You know what? Allow me.
00:58:20You finished dessert.
00:58:22Oh, wow.
00:58:23Thanks, Austin.
00:58:24You should know, though, that I am also looking for a babysitter.
00:58:27Well, I'm a jack of all trades.
00:58:28I'll send you my resume.
00:58:30Okay.
00:58:44Wow.
00:58:46He's a keeper.
00:58:48Let's see if he can finish this before I start saying I do's.
00:58:51Don't worry, Dad.
00:58:52My professional life has enough drama.
00:58:54I'm not trying for an office romance.
00:58:55Well, the heart wants what the heart wants.
00:58:59These are fantastic, by the way. Are they new?
00:59:01Some of them.
00:59:02I was inspired by Delaney's work.
00:59:04Oh, this shoe would be so perfect in that collection.
00:59:07It would be a dream to see Delaney Diaz's name under one of my sketches.
00:59:12Hmm.
00:59:14You mean, like, looks right to me.
00:59:19I'll give him a chance one day.
00:59:20Oh, by the way, can I stop by the office tomorrow morning on the way to the doctor just to say thank you to Delaney?
00:59:27Yeah. As long as you don't talk too much.
00:59:29She hates rambling.
00:59:31And not before her morning latte.
00:59:33Um, you ramble, okay? I converse.
00:59:35Oh, he's singing to her.
00:59:51Lucky girl.
00:59:52Jealous?
00:59:53Is everything okay?
00:59:54Oh, yeah, everything's more than fine.
00:59:55Yeah, yeah, Claudia can take over it.
00:59:56You have a long drive.
00:59:57Thank you for everything.
00:59:58Yeah, you're welcome.
00:59:59See you tomorrow.
01:00:00Absolutely.
01:00:01Oh, don't mind me.
01:00:02Oh, that was good.
01:00:03Oh, that was good.
01:00:04Oh, that was good.
01:00:05Oh, that was good.
01:00:07Yeah, sure.
01:00:08I'm not going to be singing to her.
01:00:10He's singing to her.
01:00:11Lucky girl.
01:00:12Jealous?
01:00:14Is everything okay?
01:00:15Oh, yeah, everything's more than fine.
01:00:16Yeah, yeah, Claudia can take over it.
01:00:17You have a long drive.
01:00:18Thank you for everything.
01:00:19Yeah, you're welcome.
01:00:20See you tomorrow.
01:00:21Absolutely.
01:00:23Oh, don't mind me.
01:00:27Have a good night.
01:00:33You too.
01:00:37You can keep fooling yourself.
01:00:50And he said, no, my name is Philippe.
01:00:53Oh, no.
01:00:56Sorry to interrupt.
01:00:58Delaney, I have the final designs all ready for the manufacturer,
01:01:01and Austin will pick the best one for the press release.
01:01:03Oh, that's great. Nothing digital.
01:01:06Please, we don't want a repeat of the date night pump.
01:01:08I have printed hard copies for Austin and the manufacturer.
01:01:11Impressive.
01:01:13She really is.
01:01:14Anyway, I'll let you get back to work.
01:01:16Thanks again so much for everything.
01:01:18Ruby loved all of her presents.
01:01:20It was a really special night.
01:01:22I do like to take care of what matters.
01:01:26A latte machine has arrived.
01:01:28And speaking of which...
01:01:30Addie, could you please see to that?
01:01:32Here, would you take this and I'll meet you at my desk?
01:01:34Take care.
01:01:36I'll meet you at my desk.
01:01:38I'm gonna find some more of the time.
01:01:40The evidence is worth the time to get back to your office.
01:01:41I'm a pianist at my desk.
01:01:42I'm gonna pull out the desk.
01:01:43I'm gonna pull out the desk.
01:01:44I'm gonna do that.
01:01:45I'm gonna pull out the desk.
01:01:46I'll do that.
01:01:47I'm gonna do that.
01:01:48I'll be trying to get back at my desk next time.
01:01:51I'm gonna get back to my desk.
01:01:52Delaney wants you to choose a shoe for the press release.
01:02:20She trusts your opinion.
01:02:22She trusts hers too.
01:02:23See, I told you you weren't fired.
01:02:25I'm glad you're still here.
01:02:27Me too.
01:02:29So, how is the show going?
01:02:32Oh, it is a disaster.
01:02:34My father and I do not agree on wardrobe.
01:02:36I just wanted to make sure that fashion was for everyone.
01:02:39I wanted to make sure that people felt glamorous and powerful when they wore Delaney Diaz, but...
01:02:44Like the crystal shoe on the subway.
01:02:46Exactly.
01:02:47Now I just feel like he's not supporting me, or Delaney for that matter.
01:02:51And if this show doesn't sell, it's all over.
01:02:54Anyway, everything is ready.
01:02:56All I need are the shoes.
01:02:58Well, they should be ready by next week.
01:03:00Good.
01:03:01Make sure you guard this book with your life.
01:03:03Delaney is paranoid something will go wrong again.
01:03:06Sure thing.
01:03:07Are you coming to the party tonight with Delaney?
01:03:09To open Fashion Week?
01:03:10Of course.
01:03:11And Delaney can't wait to go.
01:03:13Oh.
01:03:14Shocking, right?
01:03:15Well, miracles do happen.
01:03:16Mm-hmm.
01:03:18I'll see you tonight.
01:03:20Okay.
01:03:24Hello again.
01:03:26Oh.
01:03:27Andrea Walker from Franco Chassier.
01:03:29Spying again?
01:03:30Want to steal more of our ideas?
01:03:32I happen to live on this block, and this is actually my favorite coffee shop.
01:03:35And for the record, we didn't take your shoe concept.
01:03:38We had one in the works, and we just happened to release it first.
01:03:41You used my words.
01:03:43I told Franco about you.
01:03:45How would you like to come work with us?
01:03:47Tempting, but no.
01:03:49I work for Delaney.
01:03:50If all goes to plan, then Delaney will be under our company.
01:03:53I'm trying to help you out here.
01:03:55Secure you a seat on the lifeboat when her ship inevitably goes down.
01:03:59Well, when our show goes well, the ship will keep sailing.
01:04:02It would take a miracle.
01:04:04Our door is open.
01:04:06Think about it.
01:04:08Okay, get me a glass of pinot, please, and then we'll slip out the back.
01:04:29Oh, people want to see you.
01:04:30You have to linger a little bit.
01:04:32It's good for the brand.
01:04:33You sound like Austin.
01:04:35Did he send out the press release?
01:04:37Let me check.
01:04:38He said he was going to send it out before the party.
01:04:40You know what, never mind.
01:04:41Wine first.
01:04:42And can you get me a big glass?
01:04:43I need something I can hide behind.
01:04:45Yes, thank you.
01:04:50A glass of bread, please.
01:05:03Delaney, hi.
01:05:04I saw your press release.
01:05:06I love to get your take on the old design.
01:05:09It certainly is a departure from the boring, safe designs you've been putting out lately.
01:05:12Has the fashion bloggers in quite the uproar?
01:05:15Well, I didn't design that shoe.
01:05:17Now, a good reporter would know to check his facts.
01:05:19But then again, we're talking about you.
01:05:21Yeah, the signed sketch and press release stating you designed the shoe states otherwise.
01:05:27Here's my headline.
01:05:28Aging fashion icon is up to her.
01:05:30Old.
01:05:31Tricks again.
01:05:32Stealing designs and releasing them under her own name.
01:05:34This sad story will surely go viral.
01:05:39Excuse me.
01:05:44Delaney, you're needed for a photo right now.
01:05:46What are you insinuating here?
01:05:47Sorry, Delaney.
01:05:48I'm gonna need this back so I can tweet about my latest scoop if you don't mind.
01:05:51Come on.
01:05:52I don't...
01:05:53Joe.
01:05:54What's he talking about?
01:05:57It's okay.
01:05:58It's not okay.
01:05:59This is a disaster, Addy.
01:06:00That crap is probably already all over social media.
01:06:03Hashtag Delaney steals again.
01:06:04But it isn't true.
01:06:05It doesn't matter.
01:06:06The first lie wins.
01:06:07Don't you understand?
01:06:08How did this even happen?
01:06:10I swear, when I find out who did it, I am going to destroy them.
01:06:13Their business, their home, their family.
01:06:15Your family?
01:06:16Yes.
01:06:17I need to hit them where it hurts the most.
01:06:19I'm about to lose everything that matters to me.
01:06:21My reputation.
01:06:23My entire life, Addy.
01:06:25Everything.
01:06:26I want you to gather everyone on the team in the conference room.
01:06:297am.
01:06:30Sharp.
01:06:31No exceptions.
01:06:32Yes.
01:06:33Ugh!
01:06:34I could kill them!
01:06:39It's a simple question.
01:06:41Where did this shoe come from?
01:06:44Who designed it?
01:06:47It's new to me, but a very stylish shoe.
01:06:49I wish I could take credit.
01:06:51Have you asked Austin?
01:06:53Yes.
01:06:54He says that it was in the book.
01:06:57He's stopping by the manufacturer today to see if there was some kind of mix-up.
01:07:01What if he put it in there?
01:07:02Not possible.
01:07:05An up and coming PR guy desperate to save your brand and make his mark?
01:07:08Their motto is, all press is good press.
01:07:12No, there's no way.
01:07:13Austin would never put me in this position.
01:07:15Well, if there's a positive, your name is all over social media.
01:07:17Yes, it certainly is.
01:07:19You know they are comparing this beautiful shoe to our safe designs.
01:07:24They are talking about the rest of our line.
01:07:26That's a good thing.
01:07:27It's not a favorable comparison, Alexander.
01:07:30You didn't steal anything, Delaney.
01:07:32I'm sure this will all get cleared up before the show.
01:07:34Just give it a little bit more time.
01:07:36The story is out.
01:07:37I would need a time machine.
01:07:39No, I can't risk another public humiliation.
01:07:45Cancel the show.
01:07:47No, don't do that.
01:07:48You have to keep fighting.
01:07:49The fight is over, Addy, and we lost.
01:07:53If we get any more backlash, our stock is going to plummet.
01:07:56Now, show sewer may want to put me in a bargain basement,
01:07:59but I won't let them purchase us at bottom dollar.
01:08:05No.
01:08:07We're done here.
01:08:09Go home.
01:08:15Okay.
01:08:17Get the team together.
01:08:18Think about anything that could have got the shoe in that package, okay?
01:08:21We cannot cancel the show.
01:08:26There you are.
01:08:28Take care.
01:08:29Connor's true repair.
01:08:30Hey.
01:08:31It's me.
01:08:32Hey, Addy.
01:08:33How's work?
01:08:34You left so early this morning.
01:08:35It's terrible.
01:08:36My sketches got into the final design, and Austin used it for the press release,
01:08:41because he thought they were Delaney's designs.
01:08:42That's great news.
01:08:43No, no, it's not.
01:08:44Delaney was outed by a reporter for stealing it.
01:08:45So, tell her it's yours.
01:08:46How?
01:08:47She'll think I did it on purpose, and she's on a war pass.
01:08:49She threatened my career, our family.
01:08:50I can't have Dad's shop getting taken out for this.
01:08:51She'll understand.
01:08:52She'll understand.
01:08:53She'll understand.
01:08:54I'm sorry.
01:08:55I'm sorry.
01:08:56I'm sorry.
01:08:57I'm sorry.
01:08:58I'm sorry.
01:08:59I'm sorry.
01:09:00I'm sorry.
01:09:01I'm sorry.
01:09:02I'm sorry.
01:09:03I'm sorry.
01:09:04I'm sorry.
01:09:05I'm sorry.
01:09:06I'm sorry.
01:09:07Delaney's wrath.
01:09:08Thing is, I don't even know how the sketches got in there.
01:09:19Mmm.
01:09:20I maybe do.
01:09:23What?
01:09:24No, Claudia.
01:09:25You didn't.
01:09:26I just...
01:09:27I wanted to help you out.
01:09:28You know?
01:09:29You are so talented, and people need to see it.
01:09:32You're welcome.
01:09:33No, no.
01:09:34This isn't a good thing.
01:09:36She's gonna lose everything.
01:09:38She canceled the runway show.
01:09:39It was her last chance at keeping Franco Chaussure
01:09:41from buying her out.
01:09:43Wow, I didn't know.
01:09:45I am so sorry, what can I do?
01:09:46Do you want me to call Delaney?
01:09:48No, no, no, no.
01:09:49Absolutely not.
01:09:50Austin is on his way here now
01:09:52and I'll keep you posted, okay?
01:09:54Okay.
01:09:55Bye.
01:10:06Austin Strickland, you have quite the PR disaster
01:10:14on your hands.
01:10:15Thanks for the update, I wasn't aware.
01:10:16You know, when I offered Addie a job,
01:10:19I didn't expect her to make it easier
01:10:20for our acquisition.
01:10:22Franco may promote her before she even starts.
01:10:24What are you talking about?
01:10:25She's not only talented, but ambitious.
01:10:28Slipping in her own design?
01:10:32Tell me, were you in on it too?
01:10:33Because if so, we may have a job offer for you as well.
01:10:36Austin.
01:10:48I have something I have to tell you.
01:10:49Oh, no need, no need.
01:10:51Andrew told me everything.
01:10:52How could you?
01:10:54What?
01:10:55Slipping in your design like that,
01:10:56backstabbing Delaney, myself,
01:10:58after all that talk about not being cutthroat,
01:11:00you are ruthless.
01:11:01Austin, that's not what happened.
01:11:02It's a beautiful shoe.
01:11:04It's honestly too bad that it won't be a fashion week.
01:11:07Well, you can bring your designs to the office.
01:11:08I know that Franco is very excited to see them.
01:11:10We'll see you then.
01:11:13I see you really found your place.
01:11:15Well played.
01:11:16Austin.
01:11:17Austin.
01:11:18Austin.
01:11:19How'd you know I was here?
01:11:23Your mom always brought you here, and you had a bad day at school, so...
01:11:43Claudia told you.
01:11:44So what happens next?
01:11:45I know Claudia was just trying to help.
01:11:50And I'm sure Austin has told Delaney, we've just worked so hard.
01:11:56I can't believe it's going to end like this.
01:11:57And the worst part is, everyone thinks I did it on purpose, like I'm some malicious traitor.
01:12:03You're not.
01:12:04And you're not a quitter.
01:12:05I don't really have many other options.
01:12:06Yes, you do.
01:12:07Get back up and you'll fight.
01:12:08Never give up.
01:12:09You know you belong there.
01:12:10Sure, I am.
01:12:11Go into yourself.
01:12:12I'll do it.
01:12:13You know.
01:12:14I can't believe it's going to end like this.
01:12:15I can't believe it's going to end like this.
01:12:16And the worst part is, everyone thinks I did it on purpose.
01:12:18Like I'm some malicious traitor.
01:12:19You're not.
01:12:20And you're not a quitter.
01:12:22I don't really have many other options.
01:12:25Yes, you do.
01:12:26Get back up and you'll fight.
01:12:29Never give up.
01:12:30Get back up.
01:12:31You know you belong there.
01:12:32Sure then.
01:12:33Go into yourself.
01:12:35No.
01:12:36It's over.
01:12:37The show's cancelled.
01:12:39The show's serious buying the company.
01:12:42Did they buy the company today?
01:12:45No.
01:12:47Soon.
01:12:48The show's been cancelled.
01:12:51Can it be uncancelled?
01:12:53Today, maybe?
01:12:55Well, we do still have the space booked.
01:12:59When you were young, you used to build these wonderful towers with your mama's shoes.
01:13:04Remember that?
01:13:05Yeah.
01:13:06Claudia loved knocking them over.
01:13:09Remember what your mother told you?
01:13:11Just because it fell apart doesn't mean it can't be rebuilt.
01:13:16Exactly.
01:13:17You really think I can fix it?
01:13:19I think you can do anything.
01:13:22I think I'm a terrible person.
01:13:25Go show them who you really are.
01:13:26Please don't take that down.
01:13:32You got some guts showing up here, huh?
01:13:33I should call security.
01:13:34I know what you're thinking, but there has been a big misunderstanding.
01:13:47Save it, Addie.
01:13:48I'm really not interested.
01:13:49I am trying to save the company, and I think I know how.
01:13:50What are you, a double agent now?
01:13:51You're going to bring show's your secrets to me?
01:13:52Yes, they offered me a job, but I turned it down.
01:13:59Although I have questioned myself every step of the way, and you haven't made it very easy.
01:14:00I know I belong here.
01:14:01Well, that is touching.
01:14:02Is that why you submitted your design on the show?
01:14:03I don't understand.
01:14:04I don't understand.
01:14:05Save it, Addie.
01:14:06I'm really not interested.
01:14:07I am trying to save the company, and I think I know how.
01:14:08What are you, a double agent now?
01:14:09You're going to bring show's your secrets to me?
01:14:12Yes.
01:14:13They offered me a job, but I turned it down.
01:14:17Although I have questioned myself every step of the way, and you haven't made it very easy.
01:14:24I know I belong here.
01:14:25Well, that is touching.
01:14:27Is that why you submitted your design under my name?
01:14:29I didn't.
01:14:30Then how did it get there, Addie?
01:14:31I have a very loving family who thought they were helping me out.
01:14:35Claudia slipped my design into the book.
01:14:37She wanted you to see my work.
01:14:39No one thought that it would escalate like this.
01:14:42It was a very big mistake, but I think something good can come of this.
01:14:45The show's canceled, Addie.
01:14:47It's over.
01:14:48So Sierra's already working on the paperwork for the buyout.
01:14:51I mean, the curtain is falling.
01:14:53But we can do the show.
01:14:55We still have the space.
01:14:56Except we don't have any shoes.
01:15:00I had the manufacturer throw them all out.
01:15:03Why?
01:15:04Because they're insignificant.
01:15:06You know, the hardest part about this is that people were just starting to get excited about me again.
01:15:12Except it wasn't me at all.
01:15:15And when they found out the truth, well, it just confirmed what they already believe.
01:15:21Delaney Diaz is a has-been.
01:15:23I always knew a Delaney Diaz shoe could get you where you needed to go.
01:15:27No matter the circumstance.
01:15:29Well, I appreciate your passion.
01:15:31But you are overlooking one very significant detail.
01:15:35No shoes.
01:15:36No shoes.
01:15:37But you do.
01:15:39You have these.
01:15:42These are shoes you can conquer the world in.
01:15:45This is what the people want.
01:15:51Well, that may well be, but no, no.
01:15:54You're wrong.
01:15:55The public won't show up for me.
01:15:57Not anymore.
01:15:58Thanks to Jacob.
01:15:59You are tough.
01:16:01But you are smart.
01:16:04And generous.
01:16:05We can't give up now.
01:16:07Don't lose yourself.
01:16:09You'll win over the public.
01:16:11I know it.
01:16:12How do you propose I do that?
01:16:14You show them who you really are.
01:16:17Except the show is in less than 48 hours.
01:16:19And what am I going to do?
01:16:20I can't make the shoes myself.
01:16:22Nope.
01:16:24But I know someone who can.
01:16:32Well, so you repair all kinds of shoes here.
01:16:34Oh, yes.
01:16:35We don't discriminate.
01:16:36Except Frank Osho, sir.
01:16:38Cheaply made, soles thin as paper.
01:16:42Okay.
01:16:43We have 48 hours to make these shoes,
01:16:46but luckily we have all the materials and tools to get this done.
01:16:49Thank you all so much.
01:16:51I can't tell you what it means to me that you're doing this.
01:16:53We really appreciated Ruby's gifts.
01:16:55And you taking our Addy under your wing.
01:16:58She's the one flying now.
01:17:03Let's get to work.
01:17:06We got this.
01:17:12And we great.
01:17:18Let's work.
01:17:19Come try.
01:17:21Let's go.
01:17:22We got this.
01:17:23I can't wait.

01:17:27We won't be the last one.
01:17:28We're off to this.
01:17:29If you seeļæ½ļæ½ė¶, you have to push them.

01:17:35your famous piece like this piece.
01:17:37We won't go down without a fight.
01:17:46Come and see your vision walk the runway.
01:17:48P.S. Please accept these as an apology.
01:17:52Paddy.
01:18:01And of course, the biggest story in fashion
01:18:04is tonight's highly anticipated comeback show by Delaney Diaz.
01:18:09Already, it's generated a lot of buzz,
01:18:12having initially been canceled
01:18:13after the revelation of some still unproven allegations.
01:18:18The show is now just moments away,
01:18:20signifying that the normally safe-playing Diaz
01:18:22is ready to face any controversy head-on.
01:18:25Still, people are asking,
01:18:27does she have it in her to win over the fashion world once again?
01:18:34Okay, we're all done.
01:19:04We're all set.
01:19:05Oh, not quite yet.
01:19:07I want to add one more.
01:19:09Oh, we don't have an extra model.
01:19:11That's okay, because I want you to walk.
01:19:14Me?
01:19:16So far, we've managed to avoid total disaster.
01:19:18Let's not hit the iceberg direct.
01:19:20No, I really think that this might be the right way
01:19:23to clear up any old headlines
01:19:24and also to give credit where credit is due.
01:19:31Oh, I thought you threw these all away.
01:19:34What, are you kidding?
01:19:35Even on a bit of rage,
01:19:37I know better than to throw away a great shoe.
01:19:39That's a great shoe.
01:19:40Oh, honey, don't cry.
01:19:43I'm not.
01:19:45The compliments from you are few and far between,
01:19:47and I appreciate them.
01:19:49Well, good.
01:19:50Wear them with pride.
01:19:51Mm-hmm.
01:19:52You're stepping out into a whole new world now,
01:19:54and I think after tonight,
01:19:56everything is going to change.
01:19:58Mm-hmm.
01:19:59What is it?
01:20:04Austin's not here.
01:20:09Don't take it personally.
01:20:10He just had to do what was best for his career.
01:20:14Now, why don't you put those puppies on,
01:20:16and we're going to go out there
01:20:18and do what's best for our careers.
01:20:20Okay.
01:20:21All right.
01:20:21All right.
01:20:29They're loving it.
01:20:52Get ready to be adored.
01:20:54You too.
01:20:55You're coming with me.
01:20:56All right.
01:20:59So this is a runway.
01:21:04We've got to strut like we are conquering the world.
01:21:06Walk with fire.
01:21:24You came.
01:21:25I had to break in these new shoes.
01:21:27Great show.
01:21:29Well, it's not over yet.
01:21:36Please.
01:21:38I have a special surprise for you gentlemen.
01:21:40A special treat for you.
01:21:42Coming soon,
01:21:43a new men's line designed by our newest designer
01:21:46at Delaney Diaz,
01:21:48Miss Addie Connors.
01:21:52Are you serious?
01:22:06What about the buyout?
01:22:08What buyout?
01:22:09There's no way Shoser's going to be able to afford us now.
01:22:11Look at all these orders.
01:22:11The show is not even over yet.
01:22:17I need to make a comeback.
01:22:18You're not looking for new representation by any chance,
01:22:21because I happen to know an up-and-coming firm.
01:22:23Austin Lilly PR.
01:22:25We'll take them on your clients.
01:22:27Lilly?
01:22:28Yeah, it's my mom's name.
01:22:29You really inspired me to go after what I believe in,
01:22:32so thank you.
01:22:33Oh, honey,
01:22:33I would be so honored to be your first client.
01:22:36And you can use the office next door
01:22:37to my newest designer's office,
01:22:39at least until you're up and running.
01:22:41I get my own office?
01:22:42What?
01:22:43Of course you do.
01:22:44You're my newest designer.
01:22:47What do you say, neighbor?
01:22:49I say I'm on condition.
01:22:51What's that?
01:22:52I get to wear your newest men's designs
01:22:54for our first date.
01:22:54I think we can arrange that.
01:22:58All right.
01:22:59Shall we?
01:22:59Yes.
01:23:24We'll see you next time.
