00:00:00I'm ready.

00:00:12A thief.

00:00:18Stay calm.

00:00:24Oh my god.

00:00:26God.

00:00:27You should thank me for a taste testing for you.

00:00:31Last night you brought up with that pasta.

00:00:33I just like that three year old bra that was just crispy and rigid.

00:00:36Come here.

00:00:40Come here.

00:00:42What the hell is going on here?

00:00:43Who the fuck is she?

00:00:45Are you blind?

00:00:46She's my girlfriend.

00:00:47So what the hell was I for the past three years?

00:00:49You're just a chef that smells like garlic.

00:00:52I mean, men eat your food, but they dream of my life.

00:00:58I mean, when was the last time you ever been bothered with me?

00:01:01You shut your mouth, you tramp!

00:01:03Hey!

00:01:04That's enough.

00:01:05Evelyn, I've never liked you, okay?

00:01:08Oh my god!

00:01:09See you in the kitchen crease?

00:01:11Literally just makes me want to throw up right now.

00:01:13Your restaurant would have tanked ages ago without my menu.

00:01:17Yeah, but you're useless now.

00:01:20Cause we are a perfect man.

00:01:26Oh my god, he's still here.

00:01:27Evelyn, you are fired.

00:01:29Just, I never want to see you again.

00:01:31I'm the one firing you two.

00:01:33Oh my god!

00:01:35Oh my god!

00:01:38Bitch!

00:01:39Assholes!

00:01:53Yes!

00:01:54Every penny I had, I spent on his stupid restaurant.

00:01:58I even kept my chef E-identity secret to spare his fragile ego.

00:02:02And for what?

00:02:04To be treated like garbage?

00:02:06Okay.

00:02:07You are not spending another second on that jerk!

00:02:12Get up!

00:02:13Get up!

00:02:14Come on!

00:02:15Turn around.

00:02:16The world is your voice.

00:02:23Stop pouting.

00:02:25And it's time to play!

00:02:32I've been searching for you for three years.

00:02:39Where are you?

00:02:41Where are you?

00:02:42And the winner is...

00:02:55Shack E!

00:02:56And the winner is Shafi.

00:03:08Shafi's in the lounge. She actually cured your anorexia.

00:03:11Sophie? Keila proposed!

00:03:14No, I think I'm going to keep my Shafi identity secret for now.

00:03:17I'll still help him with his restaurant, just quietly.

00:03:26She's just behind this door.

00:03:53I think my drink's been spiked.

00:03:56Oh!

00:04:01Hey!

00:04:02You good?

00:04:07You must be a hero.

00:04:16What's she written on me?

00:04:19What's she written on me?

00:04:21Love.

00:04:22Let's go.

00:04:23Let's go.

00:04:24Let's go.

00:04:25Let's go.

00:04:26Let's go.

00:04:28laws.

00:04:29Welcome to Broadway.

00:04:30Wet، I'm excited.

00:04:33Bye.

00:04:34Let's go.

00:04:39TJ.

00:04:41Just enjoy yourselves in the room I've prepared just for us.

00:04:47Let's enjoy yourselves in the room I prepared just for us.

00:05:13Did we really get that wild last night?

00:05:17That asshole!

00:05:33Oh Caleb, today is not your lucky day.

00:05:38Rot in hell.

00:05:40We'll keep the meeting. I'll make it in half an hour.

00:05:55Hey babe.

00:06:07What the hell did you do to my car?

00:06:09Oh, thank God. He doesn't recognize me.

00:06:13This is...this is your car?

00:06:17I am so sorry.

00:06:19Um, wrong car.

00:06:21Yeah, classic mix-up.

00:06:23I'll pay for the damages. Just let me know how much it is.

00:06:27That'll be 50 grand for a repaint. Cash or check?

00:06:3050 grand? Why don't you just mug me instead?

00:06:33I don't have time for this. The cops can do with this mess. Sound good?

00:06:36Cops! No! No! Don't call the cops! Don't call the cops!

00:06:39Hello? Don't call the cops!

00:06:40Yeah, I'd like to report property damage.

00:06:41Please don't call the cops!

00:06:42Please don't call the cops!

00:06:43Hey!

00:06:44What the hell are you doing?

00:06:47Go ahead!

00:06:48Call the cops! I'd love for them to see this!

00:06:51Oh, was that a threat?

00:06:52No! No! No! No!

00:06:53I'm just...negotiating?

00:06:56I'm in a hurry.

00:06:58Take this off me, and I'll let you go.

00:07:00And I don't have to pay?

00:07:02Before I change my mind.

00:07:03Okay! Okay! Okay!

00:07:07Oh.

00:07:10I might not have the key on it, but...

00:07:14Seriously? We're not gonna take these off first?

00:07:22No time. Just follow my lead, and do not act weird.

00:07:28Ah, Mr. Carter.

00:07:32We are thrilled at the thought of you buying us out, huh?

00:07:38And, um, who might this be?

00:07:40This is my personal assistant.

00:07:42Oh.

00:07:43Oh.

00:07:44Hi.

00:07:45Hi.

00:07:49We're doing a little corporate bonding thing.

00:07:52Okay.

00:07:53Bonding, huh?

00:07:55That is, uh, that's quite the progressive bonding exercise, isn't it?

00:08:05Mr. Carter, I paid top dollar for Chef E's exclusive recipe.

00:08:06I think that would be worth an extra ten points on the offer, wouldn't it?

00:08:07Chef E?

00:08:08That's right.

00:08:10Chef E?

00:08:11That's right.

00:08:12Carter's been chasing Chef E forever.

00:08:13This sale is locked.

00:08:14It's not Chef E's recipe.

00:08:15What?

00:08:16What?

00:08:17I'm sorry, Mr. Carter.

00:08:18They're pulling a fast one on you.

00:08:19They're pulling a fast one on you.

00:08:20This is the exact recipe Chef E made for you.

00:08:21It's not Chef E's recipe.

00:08:22It's not Chef E's recipe.

00:08:23What?

00:08:24I'm sorry, Mr. Carter, they're pulling a fast one on you.

00:08:26This is the exact recipe Chef E made at the Culinary Championship.

00:08:27It's identical.

00:08:28I'm sorry, Mr. Carter.

00:08:29They're pulling a fast one on you.

00:08:30I'm sorry.

00:08:31Great.

00:08:32It's not Chef E's recipe.

00:08:33What?

00:08:34I'm sorry, Mr. Carter.

00:08:35They're pulling a fast one on you.

00:08:36This is the exact recipe Chef E made at the Culinary Championship.

00:08:40It's identical.

00:08:53I'm sorry.

00:08:54We're talking about Chef E's recipe.

00:08:55Yeah, Chef E would never use truffle oil in this dish.

00:09:06It kills the fish's natural umami.

00:09:09And FYI, Chef E doesn't write anything down.

00:09:12All of her recipes live in her head.

00:09:15If they're only in her head, how would you know?

00:09:23So what's the deal with you and Chef E?

00:09:25I am Chef E, dummy.

00:09:27Just a fan.

00:09:28Got lucky enough to chat about recipes with her once.

00:09:31Boss!

00:09:40It's just a lot, why the entire circus?

00:09:43Well, I heard you're in handcuffs, so I brought a lawyer.

00:09:47And a boxman.

00:09:48And his mentor.

00:09:49Just in case.

00:09:50What about that guy?

00:09:53Oh, uh, I'm just here for the spectacle.

00:09:57Don't mind me.

00:10:02I will take those.

00:10:11Okay.

00:10:12You know, I saved you money back there.

00:10:15That'll be my compensation.

00:10:16Fine.

00:10:17Later.

00:10:18Boss?

00:10:19Who's she?

00:10:21Cheers, guys.

00:10:22Cheers.

00:10:23Cheers.

00:10:24Oh, God.

00:10:25Ellen, I've already fired you.

00:10:26What are you doing here?

00:10:27Everything that worked about this restaurant was my creation.

00:10:37I'm taking my 50% share.

00:10:39Shares?

00:10:40Oh, God.

00:10:41Oh, God.

00:10:42Oh, God.

00:10:43Ellen, I've already fired you.

00:10:44What are you doing here?

00:10:45Everything that worked about this restaurant was my creation.

00:10:46I'm taking my 50% share.

00:10:48Shares?

00:10:49Oh.

00:10:50As of your weather.

00:10:51You only became head chef thanks to Caleb.

00:10:53You were nothing.

00:10:54I kept my chef-y identity secret to protect your fragile ego, which clearly was wasted on

00:11:00you.

00:11:01You're chef-y.

00:11:02Okay, so you're pretending to be chef-y when the real product sheet, Madeline, is right

00:11:04here.

00:11:05That's seriously hilarious.

00:11:06Oh, my God.

00:11:07You're funny.

00:11:08Funny.

00:11:09Funny.

00:11:10Funny.

00:11:11Funny.

00:11:12Funny.

00:11:13Funny.

00:11:14Funny.

00:11:15Funny.

00:11:16Funny.

00:11:17Funny.

00:11:18Funny.

00:11:19Okay, so you're pretending to be chef-y when the real product sheet, Madeline, is right

00:11:20here.

00:11:21Seriously, hilarious.

00:11:22Oh, my God.

00:11:23You're funny.

00:11:24Funny.

00:11:25Funny.

00:11:26Funny.

00:11:27Funny.

00:11:28Funny.

00:11:29Funny.

00:11:34Funny.

00:11:35Funny.

00:11:36Funny.

00:11:37Funny.

00:11:38Okay, now about this.

00:11:39Let's not let this psycho spoil our day.

00:11:42Oh, I'm sorry.

00:11:43Madeline, darling.

00:11:44Mm-hmm.

00:11:47Will you marry me?

00:11:49Oh, my God.

00:11:51I wasn't expecting this.

00:11:53Yeah, I do.

00:12:04See, Evelyn?

00:12:06Oh, my God.

00:12:07Oh, my God.

00:12:08Oh, my God.

00:12:09Fantastic.

00:12:10Where do I magically whip up a boyfriend?

00:12:11From my rib?

00:12:12This is sad.

00:12:14You know, my new guy is hotter, richer, and way more impressive.

00:12:20Where it counts.

00:12:23What are you implying?

00:12:24Evelyn, did you really invent a boyfriend to make yourself feel better?

00:12:27Right? I mean, if he's real...

00:12:29Where is it? Show us!

00:12:31Oh my god.

00:12:32Fantastic. Where do I magically whip up a boyfriend?

00:12:35From my rib?

00:12:37This is sad.

00:12:38Caleb rejects her, so she comes up with this pathetic story.

00:12:42Aww.

00:12:42You know what, Evelyn, just go with me.

00:12:46I mean, at this point, you're just humiliating yourself.

00:12:48I mean, I'm sorry for you.

00:12:49Why don't you use that cash for some, um, therapy?

00:12:57He's right there!

00:13:01Mr. Carter, what's Carter Group's strategy this year?

00:13:04We are acquiring 10 premium restaurants to establish.

00:13:06I don't know.

00:13:07He's not doing this, but I'm not wearing 10 premium restaurants to establish.

00:13:21And he's a CEO of…

00:13:22I don't know.

00:13:23I'm fighting.

00:13:23I'm notono.

00:13:24Bombshell, the Carter Group CEO has a public kiss with an unknown woman?

00:13:29That's literally the most powerful man in the city.

00:13:31There's zero chance he's dating Evelyn.

00:13:37You better have a good reason for this.

00:13:39I'm so sorry, please just help me out.

00:13:41Mr. Carter, what's your relationship with this woman?

00:13:48She's my fiancée.

00:13:50Any other questions?

00:14:01Okay, but you could have said girlfriend. I mean, why go full fiancée?

00:14:08Girlfriend? A new CEO caught in a public scandal.

00:14:11What do you think that does to my company's value?

00:14:13Well, people love a young couple in love.

00:14:17I mean, that kind of press could give you a bump.

00:14:19Your people, maybe. Mine, not so forgiving.

00:14:22I mean, that could wipe out $300 million in market value.

00:14:25Can you cover that?

00:14:26What?

00:14:27Exactly.

00:14:28Calling you my fiancée is the only way to make this little kiss look like a PR move instead of chaos.

00:14:34Okay, so what do we do? Tell them all the truth?

00:14:37Sure. Yeah, we can clear it all up.

00:14:40If you're ready to write a $300 million check.

00:14:42There's gotta be another option.

00:14:48There is.

00:14:49Which is?

00:14:51Marry me.

00:15:01Contract marriage, divorce after one year.

00:15:03Your bedroom is down the hall, on the left.

00:15:05Fine, you corporate vulture.

00:15:08Being my wife comes with specific duties.

00:15:11And what are these duties?

00:15:14All of this is for me?

00:15:29Naturally.

00:15:30Consider it an investment in making sure you look the part of my wife.

00:15:35For your everyday spending.

00:15:39No limit on this card.

00:15:42No, I can't accept that.

00:15:44This is a business deal.

00:15:45Between equals.

00:15:48Consider it a wedding gift.

00:15:52Fine.

00:15:56If you insist.

00:16:05This is nice.

00:16:30Damn.

00:16:32This feels too real to be a dream.

00:16:35You're in the wrong room.

00:16:40Sorry.

00:16:41So sorry.

00:16:42Oh my god, I will leave.

00:16:43Right now.

00:16:44Whoa.

00:16:52Geez.

00:16:54What is with the attitude?

00:16:55It's nothing I haven't seen before.

00:16:59What did you just say?

00:17:00Nothing.

00:17:01Nothing.

00:17:02Just...

00:17:03Keep talking.

00:17:04It's your dreams.

00:17:20Too many mishaps last night.

00:17:21But...

00:17:22What better apology from a culinary genius...

00:17:26...than the rest.

00:17:31Hey!

00:17:32I made you breakfast.

00:17:33No thanks.

00:17:35What?

00:17:36You didn't even take a single bite.

00:17:37That's disrespectful to the food and the chef.

00:17:39This isn't about respect.

00:17:40I've struggled with severe anorexia, which is why I have someone who handles my breakfast.

00:17:46Anorexia?

00:17:48Oh, is that so hard to believe?

00:17:50I'm so sorry.

00:17:52I just had no idea.

00:17:54Everything in your life just seems so perfect and put together.

00:17:57I guess everyone has their struggles, huh?

00:17:58Man.

00:17:59Even someone together like me has their problems.

00:18:00Now if you...

00:18:01If you don't move, I will be late.

00:18:02Please just take one bite.

00:18:03Just one bite and then I'll let you go.

00:18:04I promise.

00:18:05Please.

00:18:06Please.

00:18:07See?

00:18:08That's not...

00:18:09Well?

00:18:10What do you think?

00:18:11Not bad.

00:18:12No.

00:18:13No.

00:18:14No.

00:18:15No.

00:18:16No.

00:18:17No.

00:18:18No.

00:18:19No.

00:18:20No.

00:18:21No.

00:18:22No.

00:18:23No.

00:18:24No.

00:18:25No.

00:18:26No.

00:18:27No.

00:18:28No.

00:18:29No.

00:18:30No.

00:18:31No.

00:18:32No.

00:18:33No.

00:18:34No.

00:18:36Nobody.

00:18:37No.

00:18:45IND vì

00:18:47No.

00:18:48You didn't say you were running late?

00:18:49I can make time for breakfast.

00:18:50Well then.

00:18:51Bon appetite.

00:18:54Where are you going?

00:18:56Didn't you say you're going to join me for breakfast?

00:18:58No it's my first day on the new job.

00:19:00Can't be late.

00:19:01But...

00:19:02here's the address...

00:19:05Come by sometime.

00:19:08Wait, isn't this the restaurant I just acquired?

00:19:14This can't be happening.

00:19:16Leo married somebody?

00:19:23The bitch from that night.

00:19:25I'm going to see Leo right now.

00:19:27Okay, so I have the hottest gossip.

00:19:36The boss's new wife is visiting today.

00:19:38No way.

00:19:39I wonder what she looks like the news clip only showing her profiles.

00:19:42It's totally unclear, right?

00:19:43Okay, what kind of dumb ass comment is that?

00:19:45The boss's wife is gorgeous.

00:19:47She's the boss's wife.

00:19:48Just be on your toes and you treat her like royalty.

00:19:57Oh, no need for the formality.

00:20:01I'm just the head chef.

00:20:03What are you doing in the dining room?

00:20:05You are breaking company protocol.

00:20:09Get to work ASAP.

00:20:11Boom!

00:20:24I'm looking for Leo.

00:20:25This must be her.

00:20:28Welcome, Mrs. Carter.

00:20:31They think I'm Leo's wife.

00:20:38Don't make a fuss.

00:20:39Just call me Jennifer.

00:20:41Jennifer, absolutely, of course.

00:20:42Was that the new head chef who just walked by?

00:20:45Indeed.

00:20:46Funny how life works out that way, isn't it?

00:20:48You're both similar in age, yet worlds apart in status.

00:20:52Well, you're the boss's new wife and she's stuck in the kitchen cooking.

00:21:00Oh, no comparison whatsoever.

00:21:03Jennifer.

00:21:05Right?

00:21:07Mr. Carter isn't in today, but will ensure top-notch service.

00:21:11Absolutely.

00:21:12You and the boss are totally made for each other.

00:21:14Of course.

00:21:15I'm the only woman suitable to be Mrs. Carter.

00:21:27I'm so happy that Leo finally settled down.

00:21:31Do you think his wife will appreciate these gifts?

00:21:34Yes.

00:21:36Perhaps...

00:21:38Two more villas, too.

00:21:40Mr. Carter never mentioned Evelyn.

00:21:43What if...

00:21:45She is simply after his money?

00:21:47You're right.

00:21:49Perhaps I should get to know her personally.

00:21:50Oh my goodness, are you okay?

00:22:06I haven't eaten.

00:22:07May I have some soup?

00:22:08Yeah, of course.

00:22:09Yeah, come with me.

00:22:14Order anything you'd like.

00:22:16It's on me.

00:22:18You're so kind.

00:22:20All happy.

00:22:22What do you think you're doing?

00:22:23This is a fine dining restaurant.

00:22:25You can't bring in homeless people.

00:22:26Get her out.

00:22:27Now.

00:22:28You can't do this.

00:22:29She needs our help.

00:22:30That's her problem.

00:22:31This is a restaurant, not a charity.

00:22:34What kind of standard is this for treating guests?

00:22:36Every human being deserves the right to a proper meal.

00:22:39Oh, please save your bleeding heart.

00:22:42Look at the new chef.

00:22:43Thinking she owns the place?

00:22:45Bringing in street people?

00:22:47Our clientele are people of good standing.

00:22:49Having this vagabond around will just hurt our reputation.

00:22:52Did you hear that?

00:22:53Hurry up and make her leave.

00:22:55Her word is law around here.

00:22:57Hold on.

00:22:58Who's the boss's wife here?

00:23:00Uh, excuse me?

00:23:01Has age ruined your eyes and ears?

00:23:03This is our boss's wife, Mrs. Carter.

00:23:06Oh, Jennifer.

00:23:08Why are they referring to her as the boss's wife?

00:23:12I thought Evelyn held that title.

00:23:18Okay, just because you're the boss's wife, that doesn't mean you get to humiliate people.

00:23:22We're all equals here.

00:23:25Equality.

00:23:26As the boss's wife, I am superior to a grubby chef in the dirty street trash.

00:23:35Oh, did you hear that Evelyn?

00:23:37Or do you want to join this piece of trash out on the street?

00:23:40So these are the employees at my grandson's restaurant?

00:23:43Their behavior is disgraceful.

00:23:47What?

00:23:49Grandma's at the restaurant.

00:23:51Yes.

00:23:52Mrs. Carter somehow discovered Miss Taylor's new position as head chef and...

00:23:56Well, she wanted to see for herself.

00:23:58Evelyn, please don't slip up in front of my grandma.

00:24:03This woman just wants some food.

00:24:04She won't disturb anyone.

00:24:06Her mere presence spreads the stench of poverty.

00:24:09Who would like to dine with her around?

00:24:11Remove this beggar at once or consider yourself terminated.

00:24:15Barbage chef and homeless trash, you two deserve each other.

00:24:19Okay, this is outrageous.

00:24:21With staff like you, this restaurant is doomed.

00:24:23I'll make sure headquarters knows exactly what happened here.

00:24:26Report us?

00:24:27You insignificant nothing.

00:24:29You're fired.

00:24:32You're the one that needs to be fired.

00:24:38Fire me?

00:24:40That's rich coming from someone who looks like they sleep in a cardboard box.

00:24:44Maybe she bumped her head and thought she was the CEO's granny.

00:24:48Oh, poor thing.

00:24:50You seriously don't know who Jennifer is to the owner?

00:24:54And you're trying to fire her?

00:24:56That's comedy.

00:24:57Her wiring is clearly fried.

00:24:59Croke and insane.

00:25:00Now that's hilarious.

00:25:01That's enough.

00:25:02I'm taking you somewhere decent.

00:25:04Awesome.

00:25:05Hit the streets together.

00:25:06Maybe you'll gather up enough change for a hot dog.

00:25:08Yum yum yum.

00:25:09They should all leave.

00:25:11You stubborn hag.

00:25:13Get them out of here.

00:25:14Now!

00:25:19Dare you touch me?

00:25:20The audacity.

00:25:21You lunatic.

00:25:22You just assaulted him.

00:25:24Forget leaving.

00:25:25You're going straight to prison.

00:25:26Oh, don't twist this.

00:25:27You attacked us first.

00:25:28Precisely.

00:25:29You people are a complete embarrassment to this company.

00:25:38You needed a reality check.

00:25:39What the hell?

00:25:40You psycho bitch!

00:25:42Hey!

00:25:43Stop!

00:25:54Leo, this psycho grandma is terrorizing your restaurant.

00:25:59Call the police now.

00:26:00Yes, that's right.

00:26:01Street trash has no place in this restaurant.

00:26:03Does everyone here feel the same way?

00:26:05Oh, Mr. Carter, don't you worry.

00:26:06I'll remove these people at once.

00:26:08Shut up!

00:26:09There will be zero discrimination in any Carter establishment.

00:26:13You are done here.

00:26:15Evelyn is in charge from now on.

00:26:18Hold on.

00:26:19Leo owns this place?

00:26:20Mr. Carter, I was just following Mrs. Carter's words.

00:26:23You know, I look for my wife.

00:26:25She's my wife.

00:26:27Wow, that is news to me.

00:26:29Get this straight, everyone.

00:26:31Evelyn is my wife.

00:26:34She, she, she, she, she's your wife?

00:26:38Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up.

00:26:41You lied to us?

00:26:43I didn't say anything.

00:26:44You jumped into conclusion.

00:26:45Yeah, but you never denied it.

00:26:46Not even once.

00:26:47We are so bad.

00:26:48We just insulted the real Mrs. Carter.

00:26:51Everyone apologized to her.

00:26:53Now.

00:26:54We are so sorry.

00:26:55So sorry.

00:26:56You want me to apologize to street trash?

00:27:01That's humiliating.

00:27:03Throw her out.

00:27:04You are banned from this restaurant.

00:27:05Come on.

00:27:06Leo.

00:27:07You can't do this to me.

00:27:09Come on.

00:27:10Let's go.

00:27:15Grandma, are you okay?

00:27:17Grandma?

00:27:25I'm sorry.

00:27:26I didn't realize you were Leo's grandmother.

00:27:28Evelyn, you really are a lovely young woman.

00:27:33And you suit Leo well.

00:27:36I'm going to have Nick drive me home.

00:27:38Then I'm going to grab a few things and I'm going to stay at your place for a bit.

00:27:43Grandma, that's not, uh, that's not necessary.

00:27:48We're screwed.

00:27:49She's totally going to find out about our big marriage.

00:27:51Get it together, Evelyn.

00:27:53We need to get home and get ready now.

00:27:56Bye.

00:28:03Ma'am, you should probably keep your seatbelt on.

00:28:05Are those two just playing house for my sake?

00:28:08Uh, Miss Carter, what would give you that idea?

00:28:11Their interactions seem rehearsed.

00:28:14Impossible.

00:28:15I mean, these two are head over heels for each other.

00:28:18Is that so?

00:28:19Absolutely.

00:28:20A hundred percent.

00:28:21I mean, they are amazing together.

00:28:23I mean, I have a front row seat.

00:28:25Well, I really like Evelyn.

00:28:28I really think that she's what Leo needs to find real happiness.

00:28:33Boss, for the love of God, don't you and Miss Taylor screw this up.

00:28:42Hurry!

00:28:43Grandma's almost here.

00:28:44She's not going to barge in my bedroom.

00:28:46Oh, my God.

00:28:47Could you please put something on?

00:28:58Great.

00:28:59Now it looks like a real couple's bedroom.

00:29:00You know, after a tornado.

00:29:01So how did you two find each other?

00:29:02We met at a bar.

00:29:18At a restaurant.

00:29:19One of those bar-restaurant combos.

00:29:20You know?

00:29:21Oh, yes.

00:29:22And, um, how long have you been together?

00:29:23Three months?

00:29:24Half a year.

00:29:25Your answers?

00:29:27What we mean is, we met six months ago, but we became a couple three months ago.

00:29:40Yeah.

00:29:41Actually, I've had a crush on her for a very long time.

00:29:56I've had a crush on her for a very long time.

00:30:07Evelyn fell asleep in my guest room, so I thought I'd return her to you.

00:30:21What's going on?

00:30:22You heard her. I fell asleep in the wrong bedroom.

00:30:25You make a habit of ending up in the wrong room, don't you?

00:30:28I know. I know. My fault.

00:30:30Sleep on the floor. Happy?

00:30:40I wondered if you wanted some warm milk before bed, but I'll let you be.

00:30:45Don't move.

00:30:55Don't move.

00:31:02Almost.

00:31:03You know your heart's racing.

00:31:16Grandma might pop in at any second. Sleeping separately would blow her cover immediately.

00:31:22Are you sure?

00:31:23Are you sure?

00:31:28Lex! I won't try anything.

00:31:31Yeah, I was worried about that.

00:31:33Got it?

00:31:34Got it.

00:31:35Got it.

00:31:36Got it.

00:31:37Got it.

00:31:38Got it.

00:31:39Got it.

00:31:40Got it.

00:31:41Got it.

00:31:42Got it.

00:31:43Milky AF

00:31:45Do you like what you feel?

00:32:13Hey, what are you doing?

00:32:23Don't you want this?

00:32:26We are.

00:32:32Evelyn.

00:32:38Evelyn.

00:32:42Evelyn, wake up.

00:32:46I gotta go.

00:32:51I'm dead.

00:32:56Dear God.

00:32:57Why would I dream something like that?

00:32:59Sorry.

00:33:00So sorry.

00:33:01I had a nightmare.

00:33:02A horrible one.

00:33:03I was-

00:33:04A nightmare with drool.

00:33:05Stop messing with me.

00:33:07Let's call it even for the slap.

00:33:10What were you dreaming about exactly?

00:33:13You nearly suffocated me.

00:33:14I dreamed you were stripping and tempting me.

00:33:17Not exactly conversation material.

00:33:19I was dreaming about an excellent cuisine.

00:33:26So not a nightmare.

00:33:28Unless you thought you were a vampire.

00:33:30I did that?

00:33:33That's-

00:33:34That's really bad.

00:33:35Look, I have work later.

00:33:36How am I supposed to show up like this?

00:33:38I could give you a scarf.

00:33:39I don't wear scarves.

00:33:40What about some makeup?

00:33:41I have a really good concealer.

00:33:42I think that would be uncomfortable.

00:33:44You're impossible.

00:33:45Figure it out yourself.

00:33:46Are you sure about that?

00:33:47Bite me.

00:33:52Sure.

00:34:00Wait, wait, wait.

00:34:01I thought-

00:34:02I thought this was just a business deal.

00:34:05Come on, don't you want this?

00:34:17Are you up?

00:34:19Breakfast is ready.

00:34:27What is wrong with me?

00:34:41Where are you going at this hour?

00:34:43Evelyn's still not home and it's getting late.

00:34:47I'm just going to pick her up.

00:34:49So when did you become so thoughtful?

00:34:52She's my wife.

00:34:54I should take care of her, right?

00:34:56Well, keep telling yourself that.

00:34:59But those heart eyes aren't fooling anyone.

00:35:03Am I actually in love with her?

00:35:13What the hell?

00:35:14Look at this.

00:35:15Oh, the untouchable new chef knows fear after all.

00:35:28Are you insane?

00:35:29You ruined me!

00:35:30I lost my job because of you.

00:35:33And now I can't get work anywhere.

00:35:36So, it is time for some payback.

00:35:38Don't you think?

00:35:39No, let me go.

00:35:40Please!

00:35:41Help!

00:35:42Help!

00:35:43No one is coming for you in this hour!

00:35:45Just shut up!

00:35:49Hey!

00:35:55You got a death wish?

00:36:00No, stop!

00:36:01Stop!

00:36:02He's not worth it!

00:36:07You hurt her hand.

00:36:09Don't get anywhere near Evelyn again.

00:36:11I'll make sure you vanish for good.

00:36:14Come on.

00:36:15Let's get inside.

00:36:22It's nothing. I'm fine.

00:36:23No. Sit.

00:36:24Sit.

00:36:25Down.

00:36:33What?

00:36:35Nothing.

00:36:36You just look stunning right now.

00:36:42I'm so sorry.

00:36:43I'm gentle.

00:36:47There.

00:36:48All done.

00:36:54What?

00:36:55Evelyn.

00:37:05I want to end our arrangement.

00:37:10I want to end our arrangement.

00:37:12What was that then?

00:37:13Rich guy entertainment?

00:37:14Or...

00:37:17Goodbye.

00:37:18Neither.

00:37:19I can't keep this just as business anymore.

00:37:22I want more than a deal.

00:37:25I want you.

00:37:27You could give us a real shot.

00:37:29A fresh start.

00:37:31What do you say?

00:37:35If you are joking right now, I swear I will never forgive you.

00:37:39I don't joke about how I feel.

00:37:42Prove it.

00:37:44Gladly.

00:37:49You should probably get that.

00:37:59It could be an emergency.

00:38:02This had better be life or death or I'm canceling your Christmas bonus.

00:38:05Code red boss.

00:38:06You somewhere private?

00:38:11Boss.

00:38:12The woman from the hotel that night is back in the picture.

00:38:15What's she want?

00:38:17She's...

00:38:18pregnant.

00:38:19What?

00:38:20Wait, are you sure?

00:38:21100%.

00:38:25Keep this from Evelyn for now.

00:38:34Leo!

00:38:35My schedule's packed.

00:38:36Unless this is urgent, I'll have to ask you to leave.

00:38:39I really tried, sir.

00:38:46Ring any bells?

00:38:48You were saying you were the person that night?

00:38:55That's right.

00:38:57What do you want?

00:38:59Marry me, Leo.

00:39:00Absolutely not!

00:39:01How can you say that?

00:39:02I'm pregnant with your child!

00:39:03Look.

00:39:04You drugged me to trap me.

00:39:05What makes you think I can tolerate such manipulation?

00:39:06They wanted us to be together.

00:39:07Is that such a crime?

00:39:08Take this for your silence.

00:39:09Right?

00:39:10And whatever happens next, I want a part of it.

00:39:11And stay out of my life forever.

00:39:12Nick, please.

00:39:13All right, Miss Wood, out you go.

00:39:14Wait.

00:39:15There you go.

00:39:16Five million dollars?

00:39:17That's humiliating!

00:39:18I regret this, Leo.

00:39:22I am pregnant.

00:39:23From that first night with Leo.

00:39:24How's he gonna take this?

00:39:25How's he gonna take this?

00:39:26I am pregnant.

00:39:27From that first night with Leo.

00:39:29Oh, who's he gonna take this?

00:39:30How's he gonna take this?

00:39:31No.

00:39:32Who's he going to take this?

00:39:33Oh, I am pregnant.

00:39:34What?

00:39:35What?

00:39:36I was pregnant?

00:39:37Not.

00:39:38How are you?

00:39:39No.

00:39:40It's all right.

00:39:41You're right.

00:39:43You're right.

00:39:45What?

00:39:46What?

00:39:47I'm pregnant.

00:39:49What?

00:39:51I'm pregnant!

00:39:52I'm pregnant.

00:39:53What?

00:39:54Oh, I'm pregnant.

00:39:55Leo, hypothetically, if you had a one-night stand with someone, and you got her pregnant,

00:40:10how would you handle that?

00:40:12Has Evelyn found out about Jennifer?

00:40:16What's wrong?

00:40:17Nothing.

00:40:18I'm just asking.

00:40:20If that happened, I wouldn't choose to be involved.

00:40:22The Carter family can't afford that kind of scandal.

00:40:25But, I would make sure they were well taken care of, financially.

00:40:33You've gone pale.

00:40:35Is everything okay?

00:40:37Yeah.

00:40:38Yeah, I'm fine.

00:40:39I'm just tired.

00:40:42I'm gonna go to bed.

00:40:44Are you so early?

00:40:45I'm fine.

00:40:59Evelyn, watch out!

00:41:06What can I get for you today, ma'am?

00:41:07Tell Evelyn she's cooking for me today.

00:41:12Sure.

00:41:17Chef?

00:41:18A guest is requesting that you prepare her meal yourself.

00:41:21Tell her that the chef burned her hand, and she's off the line today.

00:41:24No, it's okay.

00:41:25I can do it.

00:41:26I can do it.

00:41:27I can do it.

00:41:28I can do it.

00:41:29I can do it.

00:41:30I can do it.

00:41:31You again.

00:41:34Aw.

00:41:35Did you burn yourself?

00:41:36No, that's not your concern.

00:41:45So sorry.

00:41:47I guess you'll have to make me a new one.

00:41:50Service denied.

00:41:52Wow! Is this how you treat your customers?

00:41:55By abusing them?

00:42:04The taste is off.

00:42:06You didn't even try a single bite.

00:42:08Refuse me if you want, but I'll just call my reporter friends

00:42:11and I'm sure Leo would hate to see his restaurant in the headlines.

00:42:16Fine.

00:42:20Jesus. Can you even cook?

00:42:23This looks revolting.

00:42:30What is your problem?

00:42:33Clean it up and I'll go.

00:42:42What the hell?

00:42:44Evelyn, you owe me this.

00:42:46What's that supposed to mean?

00:42:50You don't know?

00:42:52I'm pregnant with Leo's baby.

00:42:56Excuse me?

00:42:57This is difficult to hear, but...

00:43:00Facts are facts.

00:43:03Stop trying to come between Leo and me with your pathetic lies!

00:43:08This is no lie.

00:43:09Leo gave me this check and promised to take responsibility and make me his wife.

00:43:19You may hate me, but this child is innocent.

00:43:22As an orphan yourself, you should know how miserable it is to grow up without a father.

00:43:29Step aside, will you?

00:43:31Will you?

00:43:34I need to think about this.

00:43:39Take your time.

00:43:41I'll be waiting.

00:43:42Go in.

00:43:43It's good.

00:43:52And turn it off.

00:43:54Oh, easy there.

00:43:56What happened to your aunt?

00:43:57Oh, I just...I burned it a little.

00:43:59No big deal.

00:44:01That loan, something is off with you lately.

00:44:04Seriously, what's going on?

00:44:05Whatever it is, I'm here.

00:44:06I'm pregnant.

00:44:10Your what?

00:44:12I'm pregnant.

00:44:14Wait, this isn't funny.

00:44:16Who exactly is the baby daddy here?

00:44:18Your ex?

00:44:20What if I told you

00:44:22it was you?

00:44:24Would you believe me?

00:44:26But

00:44:28we never even, how could that be?

00:44:30Do you remember that night

00:44:32we got pretty wasted?

00:44:34The bar.

00:44:36Has Jennifer been talking to you?

00:44:38Ignore her, I'll take care of it.

00:44:40So it was true. He had another night with her.

00:44:42I thought Jennifer was lying.

00:44:44How stupid I was.

00:44:46No, Jennifer didn't approach me.

00:44:48And this baby, honestly

00:44:50I actually don't know who the father is.

00:44:52Do you even hear yourself right now?

00:45:04Where do you think you're going?

00:45:08I'm getting out of here.

00:45:10Look, stay.

00:45:11Please.

00:45:12If you're gonna keep this baby,

00:45:14I'll step up.

00:45:15I'll be there for both of you.

00:45:17Leo, don't do this.

00:45:18This baby deserves better than this.

00:45:20Why do you insist on leaving?

00:45:22This child deserves to be loved as someone's one and only.

00:45:26Even if that means growing up without a father.

00:45:30A father, huh?

00:45:32Who is it? Caleb?

00:45:34Or is there somebody else you haven't told me about?

00:45:36No matter who this father is, you and I are done here.

00:45:38Leo, this was a business deal and it has expired.

00:45:42Sign the divorce papers.

00:45:44You have a child's father that much?

00:45:46Oh, my heart. Yes.

00:45:50That's how it is?

00:45:52He's the love of my life.

00:45:54Why?

00:46:16Ma'am, we have a major crisis.

00:46:20Evelyn and Leo are filing for divorce.

00:46:22What?

00:46:23I'm coming home right now.

00:46:28Oh, boss.

00:46:29Please don't fire me.

00:46:35So long, Leo.

00:46:39Ms. Evelyn!

00:46:41Madam's been rushed to the hospital.

00:46:43She's had a heart attack.

00:46:44We need to go now.

00:46:46Come on.

00:46:53Well, you're all here.

00:46:56Have you been keeping something from me lately?

00:47:07No.

00:47:08Don't let your imagination run wild.

00:47:10Well, that's one worry off my chest.

00:47:14There's nothing I'd like more than to see you two together.

00:47:18We need to talk.

00:47:19What's left to discuss?

00:47:20Your baby with Jennifer.

00:47:25Wait till you found out?

00:47:26Listen, I am sorry.

00:47:27I need to sleep.

00:47:28I need to sleep.

00:47:29I need to sleep.

00:47:30I need to sleep.

00:47:31I need to sleep.

00:47:32I need to sleep.

00:47:36What's left to discuss?

00:47:40Your baby with Jennifer?

00:47:46Wait till you found out?

00:47:48Listen, I am sorry.

00:47:50I need to sleep.

00:47:56This pregnancy hoax needs to be perfect.

00:47:58Got it?

00:48:00Understood, Miss Jennifer.

00:48:06Evelyn, please take a seat.

00:48:10Let's, uh, check a few vitals here.

00:48:14Evelyn, your baby is gonna do it just fine.

00:48:20Whatever happens, this baby's got to go.

00:48:24Sit down, please.

00:48:36I thought the doctor said we were finished.

00:48:38The doctor made a last minute decision to give you a vitamin shot.

00:48:40It's good for the baby.

00:48:42But the doctor didn't say anything about an injection.

00:48:44Do you know better than medical professionals now?

00:48:46No.

00:48:48Sorry.

00:48:54One little prick, and this problem vanishes for good.

00:49:04You?!

00:49:06Didn't I make myself clear?

00:49:08Stay away from Leah.

00:49:10You're completely psychotic.

00:49:12They'll lock you up for this.

00:49:14Jail?

00:49:15I'm not trying to kill you here.

00:49:16Just a little nap.

00:49:17And when you wake up that unwanted spawn inside of you,

00:49:20there will be history.

00:49:21Leah will destroy you for this.

00:49:22Don't you dare say his name!

00:49:24Help! Stop! Help! Help! Anybody! Help!

00:49:44Stop fighting it.

00:49:46You have zero chances this time.

00:49:54Jennifer, you've got a death wish.

00:50:06Are you aware of what you're doing right now?

00:50:08Every single thing I've done has been for our future.

00:50:11That's what left us to you.

00:50:13Call security. This one's getting a police escort.

00:50:15How can you be so heartless? I'm carrying your child!

00:50:18Oh yeah?

00:50:19Jennifer, the lying has to stop sometime.

00:50:21That night, there wasn't you in my room.

00:50:23No way.

00:50:24Freaking way! How did you find out?!

00:50:26Game over, Jennifer.

00:50:28Get her to the police.

00:50:29Leo!

00:50:30Let's go. Come on.

00:50:31You can't do this!

00:50:32My brother will destroy you both!

00:50:38Who's that?

00:50:40Jennifer deceives me.

00:50:41There was no baby with her.

00:50:42Nothing ever happened between us.

00:50:45That night, it was you all along.

00:50:48Right?

00:50:49So you're pregnant with my baby, aren't you?

00:50:50I never should have questioned you.

00:51:04You would have been right here with me the entire time.

00:51:06I'm sorry you had to carry this burden by yourself.

00:51:11But this child, we're going to protect them.

00:51:14Alright? Both of us.

00:51:17I'm hosting a gala.

00:51:19I want the world to know we're together!

00:51:22No more going solo.

00:51:24Ever.

00:51:26Come here.

00:51:27Ryan?

00:51:33Leo is parading that cook around as his wife at the banquet.

00:51:37You're seriously okay with this?

00:51:39Jennifer, I literally just got you out of a cell.

00:51:42Can you not?

00:51:43Your Leo obsession needs to stop.

00:51:45Now.

00:51:46I'm not thinking of me.

00:51:47This is all for Monica.

00:51:49Let's not forget, Leo was engaged to Monica.

00:51:52Monica?

00:51:53I only joined this family after Monica had vanished.

00:51:57But you never stopped searching.

00:51:59If she comes back and Leo's hitched to someone else,

00:52:03everyone will mock her.

00:52:05You're damn straight.

00:52:07Nobody takes what's Monica's.

00:52:08Nobody!

00:52:24Ring up the whole rack.

00:52:26Sure, sir.

00:52:29Leo.

00:52:31Did you forget who you were supposed to be marrying?

00:52:33To what do I owe this unwelcome visit?

00:52:35Leo, it's such a busy schedule you have.

00:52:38You can't even text your old buddies.

00:52:40Spit it out or get lost.

00:52:42You can get yourself a pretty new girlfriend.

00:52:44Suddenly Monica's engagement isn't worth remembering.

00:52:46Look.

00:52:48Monica's situation breaks my heart too.

00:52:50But she vanished as a kid.

00:52:53What, I'm supposed to die alone waiting for a ghost?

00:52:55Monica will be found!

00:52:57And when she is, how will she handle you being seen with that woman?

00:53:02Leo?

00:53:03What's going on?

00:53:06You are breathtaking.

00:53:10I don't think we've met.

00:53:12Are we done here?

00:53:14Tell me, sweetheart.

00:53:15Do you get a kick out of homewrecking?

00:53:17What?

00:53:18Stop trying to steal what isn't yours.

00:53:21That's enough, Ryan.

00:53:27Leo, who was that?

00:53:29Nobody important.

00:53:30Just keep your distance if you see him again.

00:53:32Can you believe Miss Evelyn landed someone like Leo Carter?

00:53:48Straight out of a story book.

00:53:50They say she's an orphan.

00:53:52Some people have the most unusual luck.

00:54:02Jennifer, shouldn't you be in handcuffs somewhere?

00:54:16My brother Ryan makes jail cells magically open.

00:54:19Funny about that.

00:54:21You know what else is funny?

00:54:23How a plain Jane nobody like you would have the nerve to steal someone else's fiance.

00:54:27Talk about shameless.

00:54:29What are you talking about?

00:54:31Please, just admit you're the side piece.

00:54:33She's the other woman?

00:54:34God, what a tramp.

00:54:36She must have some special skills to keep Leo so captivated.

00:54:40Enjoy your victory lap while it lasts.

00:54:43When my sister Monica returns, you'll be yesterday's news.

00:54:47What are you even talking about?

00:54:48Jennifer, seriously, this constant harassment has to stop.

00:54:51Find a hobby.

00:54:53Knitting, maybe.

00:54:56So, orphan girl.

00:54:59Pretty slick how you said this whole gold digging operation.

00:55:02But isn't that what it's all about?

00:55:07Here.

00:55:09Take the check.

00:55:11Typical gold digger.

00:55:13Already counting the zeros.

00:55:14Word of advice.

00:55:16Don't push your luck.

00:55:19Good.

00:55:21Now that you've taken the money, you'll soon be...

00:55:30Is this a game to you?

00:55:32Consider this a lesson in economics.

00:55:35Your check has zero value in my marriage.

00:55:39I'm not leaving Leo.

00:55:41Leo's temporary obsession doesn't make you royalty.

00:55:44What are you really?

00:55:45Take a good look in the mirror.

00:55:46Crash.

00:55:49Yes!

00:55:53Have you lost mind assaulting my sister?

00:55:56She needed another reality check.

00:55:59That's all to be expected from an orphan.

00:56:01Absolutely zero class.

00:56:04She's completely unhinged.

00:56:06Her parents probably saw it coming and ran.

00:56:08Shut your...

00:56:09Your...

00:56:11The audacity.

00:56:12First you snatch my sister's fiancee.

00:56:14Then you assault me in public?

00:56:16Apologize to my sister.

00:56:18Right now.

00:56:19Get your hands off of me.

00:56:22Last chance.

00:56:23Apologize or prepare to face the consequences.

00:56:26Ah!

00:56:28Ah!

00:56:30This woman's unhinged!

00:56:32She drew blood!

00:56:33Someone call the psychiatric where we've got a live one!

00:56:36Hands off her!

00:56:40Touch her, I dare you.

00:56:42Leo!

00:56:45Leo!

00:56:46Can't you see what she is?

00:56:48She threw a drink at me and clawed my brother!

00:56:51Funny.

00:56:52I just saw two people ganging up on my wife.

00:56:54Leo, what kind of spell has she put on you?

00:56:56This tramp destroyed our family's engagement.

00:57:01You were engaged.

00:57:03If not for that accident, Leo would have been engaged to someone else.

00:57:08Nick?

00:57:09Get her out of here.

00:57:12You're throwing me out because of this tramp?

00:57:15Again?

00:57:16If this is how little you value our family, Leo,

00:57:19then you can consider our partnership terminated.

00:57:22We're done here.

00:57:32Monica.

00:57:34Forget her.

00:57:35She's in the past.

00:57:37What I care about is right now.

00:57:40What about burning bridges with a wood family?

00:57:42Won't that hurt your company?

00:57:44If it does, I'll make you pay.

00:57:47By spending a lifetime making it up to me.

00:57:50Oh, okay, look.

00:58:04All our customers left.

00:58:06Yeah, and they're complaining the taste of the food.

00:58:09What is this taste-off nonsense?

00:58:11We haven't changed a single recipe or technique.

00:58:13Shut it, okay?

00:58:14This disaster is on you.

00:58:17It's a master apprentice chef.

00:58:18You are.

00:58:19Your food sucks, okay?

00:58:20And we're going to be out of business within weeks.

00:58:23Are you kidding me?

00:58:24Hey.

00:58:25It's your bottom feeder customers who don't appreciate real food.

00:58:27Hi, what can I do for you, ma'am?

00:58:37This place is clearly on its lost legs.

00:58:41We're just simply experiencing a momentary...

00:58:44I'm willing to invest in this place.

00:58:53You know what?

00:58:54What incredible insight did you have?

00:58:56This is our head chef.

00:58:58She trained under the legendary chef.

00:59:01Great.

00:59:03Oh my God!

00:59:05Are those culinary gala passes?

00:59:08It's the event of the year.

00:59:10One appetizer there gets more publicity than most restaurants seen in a lifetime.

00:59:14No, no, no.

00:59:15Mr. Dinard will be judging.

00:59:17And with one single nod, that means we'll have reservations booked out for years.

00:59:21He just...

00:59:25Why would you do this for us?

00:59:27We have the same enemy.

00:59:29All in good time, darlings.

00:59:31All in good time.

00:59:34Good timing indeed for us.

00:59:35The culinary gala is happening this weekend.

00:59:46Would you care to join me as my date?

00:59:49I'll go.

00:59:52But I'll be there as head chef.

00:59:54Not as your arm can to you.

01:00:06Evelyn Taylor.

01:00:09Seriously?

01:00:11What's next?

01:00:12The dishwasher getting Michelin star?

01:00:14You know, this is an A-list event.

01:00:16With every food mogul in attendance, what did you, let me guess, sneak in here for the buffet?

01:00:21Word on the street is your restaurant shutting down. Is that true?

01:00:25How dare you spread such vicious rumors?

01:00:28Can we get security to kick this con artist out?

01:00:31I have an invitation to this event. Who's gonna kick me out?

01:00:34They invited a nobody like you.

01:00:36They lose their minds.

01:00:38Evelyn?

01:00:39You know, we needed Miss Jennifer's help from our invitation.

01:00:42And what makes you think that you're so worthy to be here, huh?

01:00:46Madeline, Caleb, why waste your breath?

01:00:50On this nobody.

01:00:51Jennifer!

01:00:53What's your angle this time?

01:00:54Imagine my surprise.

01:00:56Running into such trouble at an event my family sponsors.

01:01:00Miss Jennifer, allow us to take out this trash for you.

01:01:07Hands off now!

01:01:13Jennifer, mess with Evelyn again. Not even your brother can protect you.

01:01:17Mr. Carter, don't believe Evelyn's act. She's nothing but a fraud.

01:01:20Yeah, she dropped Caleb like garbage once she realized your money.

01:01:24Get her out of here.

01:01:26Hey, hey! How dare you!

01:01:28I'm Chef E's prodigy.

01:01:30I'm a big new thing in the food world.

01:01:33You? Chef E's apprentice?

01:01:35What? Told that lie enough times even you started to believe it?

01:01:38That's bullshit. I trained directly under Chef E.

01:01:42So who's the liar here?

01:01:43Look at Madeline's confidence. She has to be the real apprentice.

01:01:46I can settle this debate with one taste of her cooking.

01:01:51Oh my God, it's Durand! The ultimate authority on Chef E's technique.

01:01:56Well, Miss Evans, care to put your skills to the test?

01:02:01Alright, but only if Evelyn competes too.

01:02:06Loser quits the food industry for good.

01:02:09Even if you lose?

01:02:12Have you lost your mind?

01:02:15There's no way we're losing.

01:02:17When you lose, you'll apologize to me in front of everyone.

01:02:20And whoever I like.

01:02:23Deal. Ready to solve your way out of the food industry.

01:02:31You incompetent idiots! How long does it take to find my sister?

01:02:35Oh, goodness.

01:02:41Wait. Show me the birthmark on the nape of your neck.

01:02:45Back off! Get your hands off of me!

01:02:47Come with me to the hospital! Please!

01:02:49Are you insane? Why would I go anywhere with you?

01:02:52Listen to me. You might actually be-

01:02:54Don't touch me, you freak!

01:03:01One DNA test will tell me everything.

01:03:07Leo, hand me my Chef White's.

01:03:35What are you doing?

01:03:37Is Evelyn actually Chef E?

01:03:38What's in that?

01:03:52Something that destroys taste buds.

01:03:55You wanna play games with me, Evelyn?

01:03:58I'll bury you so deep you'll never climb out.

01:04:00Show us your culinary creations, ladies.

01:04:03Three, two, one, go.

01:04:06No one can find out I'm lying about being Chef E's student.

01:04:11Losing isn't an option.

01:04:12One is an option.

01:04:13To be honest,

01:04:40This dish has quite unusual appearance, and such flair, and daring, and ingredient pairing.

01:04:59Even Mr. Duran praised Madeline. It's no wonder she's chef-y's student.

01:05:05It's not too late to give up now.

01:05:10What is this? Why are these two the same?

01:05:13Who's the copycat here?

01:05:17Are you sure this is okay?

01:05:19I've seen everyone make this exact dish.

01:05:22Try it.

01:05:34Oh my god.

01:05:35Right.

01:05:38No one has ever seen this dish before.

01:05:40Use it to defeat Evelyn.

01:05:44Evelyn, how dare you steal my creation?

01:05:50Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

01:05:52Whatever she says, this is my win.

01:05:56Mr. Duran, please, try the dish now.

01:05:59Mr. Duran maintains his notorious high standards.

01:06:09Seven for Mr. Duran proves Madeline is a prodigy.

01:06:13It is identical to my recipe, down to the last detail.

01:06:17But, Madeline, care to explain the lemon in your dish?

01:06:24I can't reveal my culinary secrets.

01:06:26I'll explain then.

01:06:27The lemon ruins it.

01:06:29Indeed.

01:06:30Without the acidity from the lemon, this would be superior.

01:06:36How did you know?

01:06:37I created this dish when I worked at Mitchell & Vine.

01:06:41I'm the original chef.

01:06:43Wait, so, did Madeline steal this recipe?

01:06:46How else would she know that lemon compromises the flavor?

01:06:49I thought she studied under Chef E.

01:06:51Why would a chef of her pedigree plagiarize?

01:06:56Wait.

01:06:57Wait.

01:07:00Esteemed guests, I am the owner of Mitchell & Vine,

01:07:04and I swear by an oath, Evelyn did not create this dish.

01:07:11Caleb, you're a real piece of work.

01:07:14I get it.

01:07:14You're still mad that I fired you.

01:07:17But don't you dare bring Madeline into your vendetta.

01:07:20Are you trying to twist the truth?

01:07:22No.

01:07:22I swear, Madeline, her cooking is undeniable.

01:07:25Mr. Durand, be careful of her.

01:07:27Okay?

01:07:27Evelyn, do you have any proof this dish is yours?

01:07:32Nothing concrete.

01:07:34No smoking guns means no case.

01:07:37Moving on.

01:07:38Time to see what Evelyn's cooked up.

01:07:44Mind-blowing.

01:07:50I mean, sure, similar dishes,

01:07:52but this, this is ingredient in poetry.

01:07:56Absolutely perfection.

01:07:59Mr. Durand gave Evelyn a perfect 10.

01:08:02Who is this Evelyn person anyway?

01:08:04This can't be happening.

01:08:06I told you I'd crush this.

01:08:07I hereby declare the winner of this little culinary contest is...

01:08:13Hold on.

01:08:15Mr. Durand, this contest has been compromised.

01:08:19What are you implying?

01:08:20I believe Evelyn has cheated.

01:08:26How could I have possibly cheated?

01:08:29A no-one chef couldn't possibly outdo the sole apprentice of Chef E.

01:08:34Seriously?

01:08:35That's your evidence?

01:08:35Let's be real.

01:08:37Chef E is a culinary god.

01:08:39The only way she could have won is by cheating.

01:08:42Hear that?

01:08:43No one's buying it.

01:08:45We need another round right now.

01:08:50Here's my decision.

01:08:51One final round.

01:08:54Recreating Chef E's signature dish, Destinant.

01:08:58No way.

01:08:59The dish that made Chef E famous at the final chef showdown.

01:09:02We're seeing this live.

01:09:03Durand practically used to swoon over that dish back in the day.

01:09:07He is going to scrutinize every bite.

01:09:10Jackpot.

01:09:11I've practiced this recipe till I could make it in my sleep.

01:09:15Will you take up the challenge?

01:09:18Absolutely.

01:09:19Boss, how can you laugh when Ms. Taylor is in such a tight spot?

01:09:26This might get interesting.

01:09:31Are you serious about this?

01:09:33What's wrong?

01:09:34This is my mentor's masterpiece we were talking about.

01:09:37But it was right there if you're not up for it.

01:09:39What's so funny?

01:09:43Oh, nothing.

01:09:43I'm just laughing at you.

01:09:45Digging your own grave.

01:09:46You just had luck earlier.

01:09:48But now I'm going to crush you.

01:09:51Bring it on.

01:09:52Evelyn, you can still back out.

01:09:54There's no shame in that.

01:09:56Caleb, what?

01:09:57You're not humiliated enough already?

01:09:59What?

01:09:59You need a bigger crowd?

01:10:00Just get out of here.

01:10:03You make me sick.

01:10:16If you're going to be difficult, I'll destroy you once and for all.

01:10:20They're now creating Chef E's masterpiece, Destiny.

01:10:38Destiny.

01:10:40You know your heart's racing.

01:10:50You're the one.

01:11:01Tomatoes.

01:11:02In Destiny.

01:11:04Are you just freestyling because you know you're toast?

01:11:06Do you ever shut up?

01:11:07Oh, keep that attitude.

01:11:09But you're about to get schooled in what Destiny truly means.

01:11:15Okay.

01:11:16Madeline learned this recipe directly from Chef E.

01:11:22No one can beat her unless Chef E shows up herself.

01:11:35Oh, Leo.

01:11:37Open your eyes.

01:11:38Evelyn's a total loser.

01:11:40She's so beneath you.

01:11:44Sorry.

01:11:45Um.

01:11:46Mr. Jennifer, your perfume, it's basically a chemical weapon.

01:11:50Can't have your gas in the boss.

01:11:52Leo, mark my words, you'll be mine.

01:11:54Just watch Evelyn crash and burn in this industry.

01:11:58It's time!

01:12:02Are you kidding me?

01:12:03If you don't know the dish, don't just wing it.

01:12:06Three's ours.

01:12:07That's right.

01:12:08So you just decided to reinvent Chef E's iconic?

01:12:16A big dish?

01:12:17Bold move.

01:12:18Chef E didn't create Destiny as a recipe to be copied.

01:12:21She created it as a challenge to follow your own path.

01:12:24So you're saying your mishmash surpasses the master's original?

01:12:28Mr. Duran, please just try the dishes.

01:12:29Solid construction.

01:12:37You captured the essence of the original.

01:12:39As crazy as it sounds, you not only honored Chef Eve's iconic vision, you transcended it.

01:13:00This can't be!

01:13:03This can't be happening.

01:13:05You cheated!

01:13:06Admit it!

01:13:13On the topic of cheating, I think I've got something you'd want to see.

01:13:16How did you even...

01:13:31I saw it coming a mile away.

01:13:32I had her equipment replaced before you could do any damage.

01:13:35This crosses all the lines.

01:13:41Adeline?

01:13:42Caleb?

01:13:42You are banned from the culinary world.

01:13:45Permanent!

01:13:46No, I'm done.

01:13:48It's over.

01:13:49It's over.

01:13:50Can I ask?

01:13:52Does the triumph of your destiny have anything to do with my contribution?

01:13:56Because I think I'm the one chained to the end of this destiny.

01:13:59Oh my god, that's Chef E's mask.

01:14:01Everyone, don't you think it's time for a proper introduction?

01:14:13Miss me, everyone?

01:14:19No, that's impossible.

01:14:21You can't possibly be Chef E.

01:14:23That is Chef E.

01:14:25I remember that mask figure accepting my award.

01:14:29It's burned into my memory.

01:14:31Stop right there!

01:14:36Are you forgetting about our wager?

01:14:38Evelyn, you could stop now, please.

01:14:41Are you having second thoughts about paying up?

01:14:42Acting all high and mighty earlier, and now you're scurrying like rats.

01:14:47Yeah, pay up losers?

01:14:48Sorry.

01:14:49Sorry.

01:14:50Sorry, what was that?

01:14:51I couldn't hear you.

01:14:53We're sorry!

01:14:54Yeah, you know, it's just not doing it for me.

01:14:58Wait, why?

01:15:00You know...

01:15:01Put these on.

01:15:09Take a lap.

01:15:10Evelyn.

01:15:12Come on, you don't have to take it this far.

01:15:14A deal's a deal.

01:15:15Yeah, let's show it off.

01:15:16Now these would look great outside of your restaurant.

01:15:22Not so fast.

01:15:24You are not going anywhere until Evelyn gets what she wants.

01:15:29We're going to get your girl in vibes right now.

01:15:32Kind of.

01:15:32Die, bitch!

01:15:39Evelyn!

01:15:45Die, bitch!

01:15:46Evelyn!

01:15:57Oh my god.

01:15:58Are you bleeding?

01:16:00I'm glad you're okay.

01:16:02Seriously, Jennifer?

01:16:06Going full slasher movie in raw daylight?

01:16:08It was an accident!

01:16:10Brian, please.

01:16:12I swear, everything I did, I did for Monica's sake.

01:16:16You have the nerve to bring up Monica?

01:16:19Evelyn is Monica.

01:16:22You nearly stabbed my own sister.

01:16:25No.

01:16:26That can't be.

01:16:27She can't be her!

01:16:28You are no longer my sister.

01:16:30You're banished from the Wood family.

01:16:32You can't.

01:16:33You can't.

01:16:33Please.

01:16:34You can't do this!

01:16:38Monica.

01:16:39I finally found you.

01:16:41Monica.

01:16:42What are you talking about?

01:16:50The lab doesn't lie.

01:16:53DNA test.

01:16:55You're my sister, Monica Woods.

01:16:58We've been searching for you for so long.

01:17:01Even Mom and Dad didn't give up until their final wrap.

01:17:04So, it wasn't me.

01:17:06See?

01:17:07You were always treasured.

01:17:09Congrats on the whole family reunion thing.

01:17:12Monica, I'm so happy.

01:17:14This paper entitles you to 50% of Wood Enterprises.

01:17:18Now it's yours.

01:17:19Ryan Wood is handing over half the company to Evelyn just like that?

01:17:22Clearly the sister means a lot to him.

01:17:25I don't know.

01:17:25I can't.

01:17:27It's rightfully yours.

01:17:29Please take it.

01:17:38Evelyn Destiny brought us together.

01:17:41So, this is me officially asking, will you marry me?

01:17:46Don't let the man hang.

01:17:48Girl, say yes already.

01:17:49Yes, I will.

01:18:00Remember, Leo.

01:18:01If you break her heart, you'll have me to answer too.

01:18:04Don't worry.

01:18:04That's not going to happen.

01:18:13I see you.

01:18:15Have a good time.

01:18:16Fuck you.

01:18:19Your deathbed performance that stopped their divorce?

01:18:23Emmy worthy, Miss Carter.

01:18:26Nice teamwork.

01:18:32Well, well, well.

01:18:33Look how miraculously healthy you are.

01:18:36You know, it seems I just had a miraculous feeling of improvement.

01:18:42Right?

01:18:44It must be the power of joy that healed Grandma.

01:18:47Come on, Grandma.

01:18:51Game's over.

01:18:52We got you right-handed.

01:18:54Grandma, we have bigger news.

01:18:57Well, do tell.

01:19:00Grandma.

01:19:02You're about to become a great-grandma.

01:19:05Oh, my God.

01:19:08Oh, God.

01:19:10Well, this is a cause for a proper celebration.

01:19:13Just so you know, Nick, you can kiss that Christmas bonus goodbye.

01:19:24What?

01:19:26No, no, um, sorry.

01:19:28Why me?

01:19:29You helped Grandma with her act.

01:19:30I think someone needs to pay the price.

01:19:36The universe is against me.

01:19:37What are we going to do?

01:19:41My cats.

01:19:43All six of them.

01:19:47I was going to get them cat food.

01:19:49A new cat treat.

01:19:52Maybe some tuna.

01:19:54Now I can.

01:19:55You're the one.

01:19:55And I love them.

01:19:56I care if you guys get this.

01:19:56I'm going to get sorry.

01:19:56And I know.

01:19:58I feel like you're not a good boy.

01:19:58I'm going to get them all right.

01:19:59I don't know where you're going.

01:19:59Oh, no.

01:20:00Yeah, we know.

01:20:01Let's go.

01:20:01Everybody needs 17, Xperio and you're going.

01:20:03Everybody needs to be like here.

01:20:03We need some tuna.

01:20:04They're vom Food-Own.

01:20:04He them.

01:20:05I know.

01:20:05I know, you're going to get up.

01:20:06All sorts of things.

01:20:06It's just y'all around.

01:20:07I think we're buying everything, right?

01:20:08I'm going to get up now.

01:20:09I think it's the Maria.

01:20:11They don't wait to be putting them out there.

01:20:12I know, yeah.
