00:00:01You know, I never imagined I'd be kissing another man at my ex's engagement party.
00:00:17A thief.
00:00:23Stay calm.
00:00:30Oh my god.
00:00:34You should thank me for a taste testing for you. Last night you brought over that pasta.
00:00:39Just like that three year old bra that was just crispy and rigid.
00:00:48What the hell is going on here? Who the fuck is she?
00:00:52Are you blind? She's my girlfriend.
00:00:54So what the hell was I for the past three years?
00:00:56You're just a chef that smells like garlic.
00:00:58I mean, men eat your food, but hey, dream of my love.
00:01:04I mean, when was the last time you've ever been bothered with me?
00:01:07You shut your mouth, you tramp!
00:01:10Hey! That's enough. Evelyn, I've never liked you, okay?
00:01:15Oh my god! See me on Kitchen Grease?
00:01:18Literally just makes me want to throw up right now.
00:01:21Your restaurant would have tanked ages ago without my menu.
00:01:23Yeah, but you're useless now.
00:01:26Cause we are a perfect man.
00:01:32Oh my god, he's still here.
00:01:34Evelyn, you are fired. Just, I never want to see you again.
00:01:38I'm the one firing you two.
00:01:42Assholes!
00:01:43Oh my, oh god!
00:01:47Assholes!
00:02:00Yes!
00:02:01The only penny I had, I spent on his stupid restaurant.
00:02:05I know.
00:02:06I haven't even kept my chef E-identity secret to spare his fragile ego.
00:02:11And for what? To be treated like garbage?
00:02:14Okay.
00:02:15You are not spending another second on that jerk!
00:02:19Get up!
00:02:20Get up!
00:02:21Come on!
00:02:22Turn around.
00:02:24The world is your voice.
00:02:31Stop pouting.
00:02:32It's time to play!
00:02:46I've been searching for you for three years.
00:02:49Where are you?
00:03:02And the winner is...
00:03:08Chef E!
00:03:16Chef E's in the lounge.
00:03:17She actually cured your anorexia!
00:03:19Sophie!
00:03:21Keila proposed!
00:03:23No, I think I'm gonna keep my chef E-identity secret for now.
00:03:26I'll still help him with his restaurant, just quietly.
00:03:32She's just behind this door.
00:03:41She's just behind this door.
00:03:42Okay.
00:04:01I think my drink's been spiked.
00:04:03Oh!
00:04:06Oh!
00:04:09Hey!
00:04:11You good?
00:04:13You must be a hero!
00:04:20You must be a hero!
00:04:21You must be a hero!
00:04:24What do you want to call?
00:04:28I want to call...
00:04:30Love!
00:04:32Love!
00:04:34Love!
00:04:37Love!
00:04:39Love!
00:04:41Love!
00:04:43Love!
00:04:45Love!
00:04:46You know, just enjoy yourselves in the room I prepared just for us.
00:05:16Did we really get that wild last night?
00:05:41That asshole!
00:05:45We'll keep the meeting, I'll make it in half an hour.
00:06:10What the hell did you do to my car?
00:06:19Oh thank god, he doesn't recognize me.
00:06:23This is, this is your car?
00:06:27Look, I am so sorry.
00:06:30Um, wrong car.
00:06:31Yeah, classic mix up.
00:06:33I'll pay for the damages, just let me know how much it is.
00:06:37That'll be 50 grand for a repaint.
00:06:39Cash or check?
00:06:4050 grand?
00:06:41Why don't you just mug me instead?
00:06:43I don't have time for this.
00:06:44The cops can do with this mess.
00:06:45Sound good?
00:06:46Cops!
00:06:47No!
00:06:48Don't call the cops!
00:06:49Don't call the cops!
00:06:50Hello?
00:06:51Yeah, I'd like to report property damage.
00:06:52Please don't call the cops!
00:06:53Hey!
00:06:54What the hell are you doing?
00:06:57Go ahead!
00:06:58Call the cops!
00:06:59I'd love for them to see this!
00:07:00Oh, was that a threat?
00:07:01No!
00:07:02No!
00:07:03No!
00:07:04No!
00:07:05I'm just...
00:07:06negotiating?
00:07:07I'm in a hurry.
00:07:09Take this off me, and I'll let you go.
00:07:11And I don't have to pay?
00:07:13Before I change my mind.
00:07:14Okay!
00:07:15Okay!
00:07:21I might not have the key in there.
00:07:30Seriously?
00:07:31We're not gonna take these off first?
00:07:33No time.
00:07:34Just follow my lead, and do not act weird.
00:07:39Ah, Mr. Carter.
00:07:43We are thrilled at the thought of you buying us out, huh?
00:07:49And, um, who might this be?
00:07:52This is my personal assistant.
00:07:55Hi.
00:07:56Hi.
00:08:00There we go.
00:08:01We're doing a little corporate bonding thing.
00:08:04Okay.
00:08:06Bonding, huh?
00:08:07That is, uh, that's quite the progressive bonding exercise, isn't it?
00:08:30Mr. Carter, I paid top dollar for Chef E's exclusive recipe.
00:08:43I think that would be worth an extra ten points on the offer, wouldn't it?
00:08:47Chef E?
00:08:48That's right.
00:08:49Carter's been chasing Chef E forever.
00:08:51This sale is locked.
00:08:53It's not Chef E's recipe.
00:08:55What?
00:08:56I'm sorry.
00:08:57Mr. Carter, they're pulling a fast one on you.
00:09:00This is the exact recipe Chef E made at the Culinary Championship.
00:09:04It's identical.
00:09:05Yeah, Chef E would never use truffle oil on this dish.
00:09:18It kills the fish's natural umami.
00:09:20And FYI, Chef E doesn't write anything down.
00:09:23All of her recipes live in her head.
00:09:26If they're only in her head, how would you know?
00:09:29So what's the deal with you and Chef E?
00:09:37I am Chef E, dummy.
00:09:39Just a fan.
00:09:40God, lucky enough to chat about recipes with her once.
00:09:43Boss!
00:09:52It's just a lock, why the entire circus?
00:09:55Well, I heard you're in handcuffs, so I brought a lawyer.
00:09:58And a boxman.
00:10:01And his mentor.
00:10:02Just in case.
00:10:04What about that guy?
00:10:06Oh, I'm just here for the spectacle.
00:10:14Don't mind me.
00:10:23I will take those.
00:10:26Okay.
00:10:28You know, I saved you money back there.
00:10:30That'll be my compensation.
00:10:31Fine.
00:10:32Later.
00:10:37Boss!
00:10:38Who's she?
00:10:47Cheers, guys!
00:10:48Cheers!
00:10:49Cheers!
00:10:50Cheers!
00:10:51Oh, god.
00:10:52Evan, I've already fired you.
00:10:55What are you doing here?
00:10:56Everything that worked about this restaurant was my creation.
00:11:00I'm taking my 50% share.
00:11:03Shares?
00:11:06As of your wedding.
00:11:09You only became head chef thanks to Caleb.
00:11:12You were nothing.
00:11:13I kept my chef-y identity secret to protect your fragile ego, which clearly was wasted on you.
00:11:20You're chef-y.
00:11:24Okay, so you're pretending to be chef-y when the real product sheet, Madeline, is right here?
00:11:30That's seriously hilarious.
00:11:31Oh, my god.
00:11:32You're funny.
00:11:33You're funny after that.
00:11:34How did Evelyn, Caleb breaks up with you and you go into a full psychotic rake?
00:11:41I mean, behold this face, people.
00:11:43Scarce kiss would burn him into sterility.
00:11:45I mean, who would get excited about this package?
00:11:47You should beat it now.
00:11:48It's my garbage can and why I even take trash like you.
00:11:52Okay, now about this.
00:11:54Let's not let this psycho spoil our day.
00:11:57Madeline, darling.
00:12:02Will you marry me?
00:12:04Oh, my god.
00:12:06I wasn't expecting this.
00:12:08Yeah, I do.
00:12:18Mwah.
00:12:19See, Evelyn?
00:12:21Caleb clearly loves me, so he can stop obsessing over him.
00:12:25What?
00:12:26Congratulations.
00:12:27You snagged an absolute gem.
00:12:30You know, my new guy is hotter, richer, and way more impressive.
00:12:35Where it counts.
00:12:38What are you implying?
00:12:39Evelyn, did you really invent a boyfriend to make yourself feel better?
00:12:42Right.
00:12:43I mean, if he's real...
00:12:44Where is he?
00:12:45Show us.
00:12:46Oh, my god.
00:12:47Fantastic.
00:12:48Where do I magically whip up a boyfriend?
00:12:50From my rib?
00:12:52This is sad.
00:12:53Caleb rejects her, so she comes up with this pathetic story.
00:12:58You know what, Evelyn, just...
00:13:01I mean, at this point, you're just humiliating yourself.
00:13:03I mean, I'm sorry for you.
00:13:05Why don't you use that cash for some, um, therapy?
00:13:12He's right there.
00:13:13Here.
00:13:17Mr. Carter, what's Carter Group's strategy this year?
00:13:19We are acquiring 10 premium restaurants to establish.
00:13:21You know we gotta start out the list of people who are like 15-15 people who are married.
00:13:24No relationship with Scotland's men.
00:13:25He's gotta take some problems from us.
00:13:26I mean, you know what I mean?
00:13:27I mean, you know what they would do to keep us from a restaurant to establish.
00:13:29I mean, you know what they want?
00:13:30I think he wants everybody to know your friends, and what obviously do they want?
00:13:31I mean, he's not so much as I'm not walking around here.
00:13:32I think I can do it.
00:13:33I think so, it's just as bad as you go.
00:13:34Bombshell, the Carter Group's CEO has a public kiss with an unknown woman?
00:13:45That's literally the most powerful man in the city.
00:13:47There's zero chance he's dating Evelyn.
00:13:49You better have a good reason for this.
00:13:55I'm so sorry, please just help me out.
00:13:58Mr. Carter, what's your relationship with this woman?
00:14:02She's my fiancee.
00:14:17Any other questions?
00:14:19Okay, but you could have said girlfriend, I mean why go full fiancee?
00:14:25Girlfriend?
00:14:26A new CEO caught in a public scandal, what do you think that does to my company's value?
00:14:31Well, people love a young couple in love, I mean that kind of press could give you a bump.
00:14:35Your people, maybe, mine, not so forgiving, that could wipe out 300 million in market value.
00:14:42Can you cover that?
00:14:43What?
00:14:44Exactly.
00:14:45Calling you my fiancee is the only way to make this little kiss look like a PR move instead
00:14:50of chaos.
00:14:51Okay, so what do we do, tell them all the truth?
00:14:54Sure.
00:14:55Yeah, we can clear it all up, if you're ready to write a 300 million dollar check.
00:14:58There's gotta be another option.
00:15:01There is.
00:15:02Which is?
00:15:03Marry me.
00:15:04Contract marriage, divorce after one year.
00:15:20Your bedroom is down the hall, on the left.
00:15:23You corporate vulture.
00:15:25Being my wife comes with specific duties.
00:15:28And, what are these duties?
00:15:35All of this is, for me?
00:15:47Naturally.
00:15:48Consider it an investment in making sure you look the part of my wife.
00:15:55For your everyday spending.
00:15:56No limit on this card.
00:15:58No, I can't accept that.
00:15:59This is a business deal.
00:16:00Between equals.
00:16:01Consider it a wedding gift.
00:16:02Fine.
00:16:03If you insist.
00:16:05Fine.
00:16:06Fine.
00:16:08I've been doing this too much.
00:16:09Fine.
00:16:10It's fine.
00:16:11Fine.
00:16:12Fine.
00:16:13Fine.
00:16:14Fine.
00:16:15Fine.
00:16:16Fine.
00:16:20Well, I'm done.
00:16:21That's fine.
00:16:24Fine.
00:16:25Fine.
00:16:26Fine.
00:16:29Fine.
00:16:33Fine.
00:16:34Damn. This feels too real to be a dream.
00:16:53You're in the wrong room.
00:16:58I'm sorry. So sorry. Oh my god, I will leave. Right now.
00:17:02What is with the attitude?
00:17:14It's nothing I haven't seen before.
00:17:17What did you just say?
00:17:19Nothing. Nothing. Just sleep talking. Sweet dreams.
00:17:32I had too many mishaps last night. But what better apology from a culinary genius than the rest.
00:17:51Hey! I made you breakfast.
00:17:53Thanks.
00:17:54What? You didn't even take a single bite. That's disrespectful to the food and the chef.
00:17:59This isn't about respect. I've struggled with severe anorexia, which is why I have someone who handles my breakfast.
00:18:06Anorexia?
00:18:07Is that so hard to believe?
00:18:08I'm so sorry. I just had no idea. Everything in your life just seems so perfect and put together.
00:18:19I guess everyone has their struggles, huh?
00:18:22Man, even someone together like me has their problems now. If you...
00:18:26If you don't move, I will be late.
00:18:28Please just take one bite. Just one bite and then I'll let you go. I promise.
00:18:34Please.
00:18:43See? That's not...
00:18:52Well? What do you think?
00:18:55Not bad.
00:19:06Didn't you say you were running late?
00:19:08I can make time for breakfast.
00:19:10Well then. Bon appetit.
00:19:14Where are you going? Didn't you say you're going to join me for breakfast?
00:19:18No, it's my first day on the new job. Can't be late.
00:19:20Can't be late. But...
00:19:23Here's the address.
00:19:25Come by sometime.
00:19:29Wait, isn't this the restaurant I just acquired?
00:19:35This can't be happening.
00:19:37Leo married somebody?!
00:19:44The bitch from that night.
00:19:46I'm going to see Leo right now.
00:19:51Come here. Come here. Come here.
00:19:53Okay, so.
00:19:55I have the hottest gossip.
00:19:57The boss's new wife is visiting today!
00:19:59No way. I wonder what she looks like.
00:20:01The news clip only showed her profiles.
00:20:03It's totally unclear. Right?
00:20:05What kind of dumb ass comment is that?
00:20:07The boss's wife is gorgeous. She's the boss's wife.
00:20:09Just be on your toes and you treat her like royalty.
00:20:11No need for the formality. I'm just the head chef.
00:20:24What are you doing in the dining room?
00:20:26You are breaking company protocol!
00:20:28Ugh!
00:20:30Get to work ASAP!
00:20:32Boom!
00:20:33I'm looking for Leo.
00:20:47This must be her.
00:20:49Welcome, Mrs. Carter.
00:20:52They think I'm Leo's wife.
00:20:54Don't make a fuss.
00:21:00Just call me Jennifer.
00:21:02Jennifer, absolutely, of course.
00:21:04Was that the new head chef who just walked by?
00:21:06Indeed.
00:21:08Funny how life works out that way, isn't it?
00:21:10You're both similar in age, yet worlds apart in status.
00:21:14You're the boss's new wife, and she's stuck in the kitchen cooking.
00:21:17Oh, no comparison whatsoever.
00:21:24Jennifer.
00:21:26Right?
00:21:28Mr. Carter isn't in today, but we'll ensure top-notch service.
00:21:33Absolutely. You and the boss are totally made for each other.
00:21:36Of course. I'm the only woman suitable to be Mrs. Carter.
00:21:47I'm so happy that Leo finally settled down.
00:21:52Do you think his wife will appreciate these gifts?
00:21:57Perhaps...
00:21:59Two more villas, too.
00:22:02Mr. Carter never mentioned Evelyn.
00:22:05What if...
00:22:07She is simply after his money?
00:22:09You're right.
00:22:11Perhaps I should get to know her personally.
00:22:17Oh, my goodness! Are you okay?
00:22:20I haven't eaten. May I have some soup?
00:22:22Yeah, of course. Yeah, come with me.
00:22:24Order anything you'd like. It's on me.
00:22:27Thank you. You're so kind.
00:22:29I'll have it.
00:22:31What do you think you're doing?
00:22:33This is a fine dining restaurant.
00:22:34I'm so happy.
00:22:36I'm so happy.
00:22:38I'm so happy.
00:22:40I'm so happy.
00:22:42I'm so happy.
00:22:44What do you think you're doing?
00:22:45This is a fine dining restaurant.
00:22:48You can't bring in homeless people.
00:22:49Get her out. Now.
00:22:51You can't do this. She needs our help.
00:22:53That's her problem.
00:22:54This is a restaurant, not a charity.
00:22:57What kind of standard is this for treating guests?
00:22:59Every human being deserves the right to a proper meal.
00:23:02Oh, please. Save your bleeding heart.
00:23:05Look at the new chef.
00:23:07Thinking she owns the place?
00:23:09Bringing in street people?
00:23:11Our clientele are people of good standing.
00:23:12Having this vagabond around will just hurt our reputation.
00:23:16Did you hear that? Hurry up and make her leave.
00:23:18Her word is law around here.
00:23:20Hold on.
00:23:22Who's the boss's wife here?
00:23:24Excuse me. Has age ruined your eyes and ears?
00:23:26This is our boss's wife.
00:23:28Mrs. Carter.
00:23:30Jennifer.
00:23:32Why are they referring to her as the boss's wife?
00:23:34I thought Evelyn held that title.
00:23:40Okay, just because you're the boss's wife, that doesn't mean you get to humiliate people.
00:23:45We're all equals here.
00:23:48Equality.
00:23:49Equality.
00:23:52As the boss's wife, I am superior to the rubbish chef in the dirty straw trash.
00:23:59Oh, did you hear that Evelyn? Or do you want to join this piece of trash out on the street?
00:24:04So these are the employees at my grandson's restaurant? Their behavior is disgraceful.
00:24:09Graceful.
00:24:12What? Grandma's at the restaurant.
00:24:15Yes. Mrs. Carter somehow discovered Miss Taylor's new position as head chef and, well, she wanted to see for herself.
00:24:22Evelyn, please don't slip up in front of my grandmother.
00:24:26This woman just wants some food. She won't disturb anyone.
00:24:30Her mere presence spreads the stench of poverty.
00:24:33Who would like to dine with her around?
00:24:35Remove this beggar at once or consider yourself terminated.
00:24:39Barbage chef and homeless trash. You two deserve each other.
00:24:43Okay, this is outrageous.
00:24:45With staff like you, this restaurant is doomed.
00:24:47I'll make sure headquarters knows exactly what happened here.
00:24:50Report us? You insignificant nothing. You're fired.
00:24:56You're the one that needs to be fired.
00:25:02Fire me?
00:25:04That's rich coming from someone who looks like they sleep in a cardboard box.
00:25:07Maybe she bummed her head and thought she was the CEO's granny.
00:25:12Oh, poor thing.
00:25:14You seriously don't know who Jennifer is to the owner?
00:25:18And you're trying to fire her? That's comedy gold.
00:25:21Her wiring is clearly fried.
00:25:23Broke and insane. Now that's hilarious.
00:25:25That's enough. I'm taking you somewhere decent.
00:25:27Awesome! Hit the streets together.
00:25:30Maybe you'll gather up enough change for a hot dog.
00:25:33Yum yum yum.
00:25:34They should all leave.
00:25:36You stubborn hag!
00:25:38Get them out of here, now!
00:25:42Ah!
00:25:44Dare you touch me? The audacity!
00:25:46You lunatic! You just assaulted him!
00:25:49Forget leaving. You're going straight to prison.
00:25:50Don't twist this. You attacked us first.
00:25:53Precisely. You people are a complete embarrassment to this company.
00:25:59You needed a reality check.
00:26:04What the hell? You psycho bitch!
00:26:06Stop!
00:26:20Leo, this psycho grandma is terrorizing your restaurant.
00:26:24Call the police now.
00:26:26Yes, that's right. Street trash has no place in this restaurant.
00:26:29Does everyone here feel the same way?
00:26:31Oh, Mr. Carter, don't you worry. I'll remove these people at one.
00:26:33What? Shut up!
00:26:35There will be zero discrimination in any Carter establishment.
00:26:39You are done here.
00:26:40Evelyn is in charge from now on.
00:26:43Hold on. Leo owns this place?
00:26:46Mr. Carter, I was just following Mrs. Carter's words.
00:26:51She's my wife.
00:26:53Wow, that is news to me.
00:26:55Get this straight, everyone.
00:26:58Evelyn is my wife.
00:26:59She, she, she, she's your wife?
00:27:04Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up.
00:27:07You lied to us?
00:27:09I didn't say anything.
00:27:10You jumped to conclusion.
00:27:12Yeah, but you never denied it, not even once.
00:27:14We are so bad, we just insulted the real Mrs. Carter.
00:27:17Everyone apologize to her, now.
00:27:20We are so sorry.
00:27:22So sorry.
00:27:24You want me to apologize to street trash?
00:27:26That's humiliating!
00:27:28Throw her out.
00:27:29You are banned from this restaurant.
00:27:31Come on.
00:27:32Leo.
00:27:33You can't do this to me!
00:27:35Come on, let's go.
00:27:41Grandma, are you okay?
00:27:43Grandma?
00:27:45I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were Leo's grandmother.
00:27:49Evelyn, you really are a lovely young woman, and you suit Leo well.
00:28:01I'm gonna have Nick drive me home, then I'm gonna grab a few things, and I'm gonna stay at your place for a bit.
00:28:08Grandma, that's not, uh...
00:28:11That's not necessary.
00:28:13We're screwed!
00:28:15She's totally gonna find out about her big marriage!
00:28:18Get it together, Evelyn.
00:28:19We need to get home and get ready now.
00:28:23Bye.
00:28:29Ma'am, you should probably keep your seatbelt on.
00:28:32Are those two just playing house for my sake?
00:28:35Uh, Ms. Carter, what would give you that idea?
00:28:37Their interactions seem rehearsed.
00:28:41Impossible!
00:28:42I mean, these two are head over heels for each other.
00:28:44Is that so?
00:28:46Absolutely, 100%.
00:28:48I mean, they are amazing together.
00:28:50I mean, I have a front row seat.
00:28:52Well, I really like Evelyn.
00:28:55I really think that she's what Leo needs to find real happiness.
00:29:00Boss, for the love of God, don't you and Ms. Taylor screw this up.
00:29:08Hurry!
00:29:10Your grandma's almost here!
00:29:11She's knocking the bars in my bedroom.
00:29:14Oh, my God!
00:29:15Could you please put something on?
00:29:25Great.
00:29:26Now it looks like a real couple's bedroom.
00:29:28You know, after a tornado?
00:29:37So how did you two find each other?
00:29:50We met at a bar.
00:29:51At a restaurant?
00:29:54One of those bar-restaurant combos, you know?
00:29:59Oh, yes.
00:30:01And, um, how long have you been together?
00:30:04Three months?
00:30:05Half a year?
00:30:11Your answers?
00:30:13What we mean is, we met six months ago, but we became a couple three months ago.
00:30:21Yeah.
00:30:23Actually, I've had a crush on her for a very long time.
00:30:26Hmm.
00:30:34Evelyn fell asleep in my guest room, so I thought I'd return her to you.
00:30:49What's going on?
00:30:50New order.
00:30:51I fell asleep in the wrong bedroom.
00:30:53You make a habit of ending up in the wrong room, don't you?
00:30:56I know.
00:30:57I know.
00:30:58My fault.
00:30:59Sleep on the floor.
00:31:00Happy?
00:31:08I wondered if you wanted some warm milk before bed, but I'll let you be.
00:31:13Okay?
00:31:23Don't.
00:31:24Move.
00:31:30Almost.
00:31:31You know, your heart's racing.
00:31:46Grandma might pop in at any second.
00:31:48Sleeping separately would blow her cover immediately.
00:31:52Are you sure?
00:31:53What?
00:31:54Oh, my, what?
00:31:58Lex, I won't try anything.
00:32:00Yeah, like, I was worried about that.
00:32:08Got it?
00:32:09Got it.
00:32:10You like what you feel?
00:32:40I...
00:32:44What are you doing?
00:32:52Don't you want this?
00:32:54I hope.
00:33:00Have a moment.
00:33:08Ellen.
00:33:10Ellen.
00:33:12You really shouldn't be, Ellen.
00:33:14Ellen, wake up.
00:33:16I gotta go.
00:33:20I'm dead.
00:33:26Dear God, why would I dream something like that?
00:33:28Sorry.
00:33:29So sorry.
00:33:30I had a nightmare.
00:33:32A horrible one.
00:33:33I was...
00:33:34A nightmare with drool.
00:33:36Stop messing with me.
00:33:38Let's call it even for the slap.
00:33:40What were you dreaming about exactly?
00:33:42You nearly suffocated me.
00:33:44I dreamed you were stripping and tempting me.
00:33:46Not exactly conversation material.
00:33:48I was dreaming about an excellent cuisine.
00:33:52So not a nightmare.
00:33:56Unless you thought you were a vampire.
00:34:00I did that?
00:34:02That's really bad.
00:34:04Look, I have work later.
00:34:06How am I supposed to show up like this?
00:34:08I could give you a scarf.
00:34:09I don't wear scarves.
00:34:10What about some makeup?
00:34:11I have a really good concealer.
00:34:12I think that would be uncomfortable.
00:34:14You're impossible.
00:34:15Figure it out yourself.
00:34:16Are you sure about that?
00:34:18Bite me.
00:34:22Sure.
00:34:30Wait, wait, wait.
00:34:31I thought...
00:34:32I thought this was just a...
00:34:34business deal.
00:34:35Come on, don't you want this?
00:34:40Are you up?
00:34:49Breakfast is ready.
00:34:58What is wrong with me?
00:35:10Where are you going at this hour?
00:35:16Evelyn's still not home and it's getting late.
00:35:18I'm just going to pick her up.
00:35:20So when did you become so thoughtful?
00:35:23She's my wife.
00:35:25I should take care of her, right?
00:35:27Well, keep telling yourself that.
00:35:30But those heart eyes aren't fooling anyone.
00:35:33Am I actually in love with her?
00:35:37What the hell?
00:35:52Look at this.
00:35:54Oh, the untouchable new chef knows fear after all.
00:35:58Are you insane?
00:36:00You ruined me!
00:36:01I lost my job because of you.
00:36:04And now I can't get work anywhere!
00:36:07So, it is time for some payback.
00:36:09Don't you think?
00:36:11No, let me go!
00:36:12Please!
00:36:13Help!
00:36:14Help!
00:36:15No one is coming for you in this hour!
00:36:16Just shut up!
00:36:17Hey!
00:36:19You got a death wish?
00:36:32Stop!
00:36:33He's not worth it!
00:36:39You hurt your hand.
00:36:41Don't get anywhere near Evelyn again.
00:36:43I'll make sure you vanish for good.
00:36:46Come on.
00:36:47Let's get inside.
00:36:54It's nothing.
00:36:55I'm fine.
00:36:56No.
00:36:57Sit.
00:36:58Down.
00:37:05What?
00:37:07Nothing.
00:37:08You just look stunning right now.
00:37:10You know what?
00:37:11I know.
00:37:15I'm so sorry.
00:37:16I'll be gentle.
00:37:18There.
00:37:20I'll be there.
00:37:31What?
00:37:34Evelyn.
00:37:38I want to end our arrangement.
00:37:40I want to end our arrangement.
00:37:45What was that then?
00:37:46Rich guy entertainment?
00:37:48Or...
00:37:49Goodbye.
00:37:51Neither.
00:37:52I can't keep this justice business anymore.
00:37:55I want more than a deal.
00:37:58I want you.
00:38:00You could give us a real shot.
00:38:02A fresh start.
00:38:04What do you say?
00:38:05If you are joking right now, I swear I will never forgive you.
00:38:12I don't joke about how I feel.
00:38:16Prove it.
00:38:17Probably.
00:38:30You should probably get that.
00:38:32It could be an emergency.
00:38:33It could be an emergency.
00:38:35This had better be life or death or I'm cancelling your Christmas bonus.
00:38:38Code red, boss.
00:38:39You somewhere private?
00:38:44Boss, the woman from the hotel that night is back in the picture.
00:38:49What's she want?
00:38:50She's...
00:38:51pregnant.
00:38:52What?
00:38:54Wait, are you sure?
00:38:55100%.
00:38:56Keep this from Evelyn for now.
00:39:00Leo!
00:39:08My schedule's packed.
00:39:09Unless this is urgent, I'll have to ask you to leave.
00:39:12I really tried, sir.
00:39:20Ring any bells?
00:39:21You're saying you were the person that night?
00:39:29That's right.
00:39:31What do you want?
00:39:32Marry me, Leo.
00:39:34Absolutely not!
00:39:35How can you say that?
00:39:36I'm pregnant with your child!
00:39:40Look, you drugged me to trap me.
00:39:42What makes you think I can tolerate such manipulation?
00:39:45You wanted us to be together.
00:39:47Is that such a crime?
00:39:48Take this for your silence.
00:39:51Right?
00:39:52And whatever happens next, I want to be a part of it.
00:39:55And stay out of my life forever.
00:39:57Nick, please.
00:39:59Alright, Miss Wood, out you go.
00:40:00Wait.
00:40:00There you go.
00:40:06Five million dollars?
00:40:07That's humiliating!
00:40:08I regret this, Leo.
00:40:18I am pregnant.
00:40:23From that first night with Leo.
00:40:25How's he gonna take this?
00:40:36Leo, hypothetically,
00:40:39if you had a one-night stand with someone,
00:40:42and you got her pregnant.
00:40:44How would you handle that?
00:40:46Has Evelyn found out about Jennifer?
00:40:50What's wrong?
00:40:51Nothing.
00:40:52I'm just asking.
00:40:54If that happened,
00:40:55I wouldn't choose to be involved.
00:40:57Alright, the Carter family
00:40:58can't afford that kind of scandal.
00:41:00But,
00:41:01I would make sure
00:41:03they were well taken care of
00:41:04financially.
00:41:08You've gone pale.
00:41:10Is everything okay?
00:41:11Yeah.
00:41:13Yeah, I'm fine.
00:41:14I'm just tired.
00:41:16Gonna go to bed.
00:41:19We're so early?
00:41:34Evelyn, watch out!
00:41:35Oh!
00:41:41What can I get for you today, ma'am?
00:41:43Tell Evelyn
00:41:44she's cooking for me today.
00:41:47Sure.
00:41:52Chef?
00:41:53A guest is requesting
00:41:54that you prepare her meal yourself.
00:41:56Tell her that the chef
00:41:57burned her hand
00:41:58and she's off the line today.
00:41:59No, it's okay.
00:42:01I can do it.
00:42:01You again.
00:42:09Oh, ma'am.
00:42:10Did you burn yourself?
00:42:12That's not your concern.
00:42:14I'm so sorry.
00:42:23Guess you'll have to
00:42:25make me a new one.
00:42:27Service denied.
00:42:28Wow!
00:42:29Is this how you treat your customers?
00:42:31By abusing them?
00:42:32The taste is off.
00:42:42You didn't even try
00:42:43a single bite.
00:42:45Refuse me if you want,
00:42:46but I'll just call
00:42:47my reporter friends
00:42:47and I'm sure Leo
00:42:49would hate to see his restaurant
00:42:50in the headlines.
00:42:52Fine.
00:42:53Jesus.
00:42:58Can you even cook?
00:43:00This looks revolting.
00:43:06What is your problem?
00:43:10Clean it up
00:43:11and I'll go.
00:43:17What the hell?
00:43:20Evelyn, you owe me this.
00:43:24What's that supposed to mean?
00:43:27You don't know?
00:43:29I'm pregnant with Leo's baby.
00:43:33Excuse me?
00:43:34This is difficult to hear,
00:43:36but facts are facts.
00:43:40Stop trying to come between
00:43:42Leo and me
00:43:42with your pathetic lies.
00:43:45This is no lie.
00:43:48Leo gave me this check.
00:43:50and promise to take responsibility
00:43:52and make me his wife.
00:43:56You may hate me,
00:43:57but this child is innocent.
00:44:00As an orphan yourself,
00:44:01you should know how miserable
00:44:02it is to grow up
00:44:03without a father.
00:44:06Step aside,
00:44:08will you?
00:44:12I need to think about this.
00:44:17Take your time.
00:44:18I'll be waiting.
00:44:19Oh, easy there.
00:44:33What happened to your aunt?
00:44:34Oh, I just,
00:44:35I burned it a little.
00:44:36No big deal.
00:44:38Evelyn, something is off with you lately.
00:44:41Seriously, what's going on?
00:44:43Whatever it is, I'm here.
00:44:45I'm a pregnant.
00:44:46You're what?
00:44:50I'm pregnant.
00:44:52Wait, this isn't funny.
00:44:54Who exactly is the baby daddy here?
00:44:56Your ex?
00:44:58What if I told you
00:44:59it was you?
00:45:02Would you believe me?
00:45:04What?
00:45:05But we never even,
00:45:07how could that be?
00:45:08Do you remember that night
00:45:09I got pretty wasted.
00:45:11There's that woman
00:45:12at the bar.
00:45:14Has Jennifer been talking to you?
00:45:16Ignore her.
00:45:17I'll take care of it.
00:45:18So it was true.
00:45:19He had another night with her.
00:45:21I thought Jennifer was lying.
00:45:22How stupid I was.
00:45:25No, Jennifer didn't approach me.
00:45:27And this baby,
00:45:28honestly,
00:45:28I actually don't know
00:45:29who the father is.
00:45:30Do you even hear yourself right now?
00:45:45Where do you think you're going?
00:45:47I'm getting out of here.
00:45:48Look, stay.
00:45:50Please.
00:45:51If you're going to keep this baby,
00:45:53I'll step up.
00:45:54I'll be there for both of you.
00:45:56Leo, don't do this.
00:45:57This baby deserves better than this.
00:45:59Why do you insist on leaving?
00:46:02This child deserves to be loved
00:46:04as someone's one and only.
00:46:07Even if that means
00:46:07growing up without a father.
00:46:10Father, huh?
00:46:12Who is it?
00:46:13Caleb?
00:46:14Or is there somebody else
00:46:15you haven't told me about?
00:46:15No matter who this father is,
00:46:16you and I are done here.
00:46:19Leo, this was a business deal
00:46:21and it has expired.
00:46:25Sign the divorce papers.
00:46:27You have a child's father that much?
00:46:29Oh, my heart.
00:46:31Yes.
00:46:33That's how it is?
00:46:36He's the love of my life.
00:46:39Why?
00:46:39Ma'am, we have a major crisis.
00:47:00Evelyn and Leo are filing for divorce.
00:47:02What?
00:47:02I'm coming home right now.
00:47:08Oh, boss.
00:47:09Please don't fire me.
00:47:15So long, Leo.
00:47:19Miss Evelyn!
00:47:21Madam's been rushed to the hospital.
00:47:22She's had a heart attack.
00:47:24We need to go now.
00:47:25Come on.
00:47:33Well, you're all here.
00:47:36Have you been keeping something
00:47:37for me lately?
00:47:38No.
00:47:48Don't let your imagination run wild.
00:47:50Well, that's one worry off my chest.
00:47:54There's nothing I'd like more
00:47:56than to see you two together.
00:47:58We need to talk.
00:48:16What's left to discuss?
00:48:21Your baby with Jennifer.
00:48:27Wait till you found out?
00:48:29Listen, I am sorry.
00:48:31I need to sleep.
00:48:36This pregnancy hoax
00:48:38needs to be perfect.
00:48:40Got it?
00:48:40Understood, Miss Jennifer.
00:48:49Evelyn, please take a seat.
00:48:52Let's check a few vitals here.
00:48:55Evelyn, your baby
00:48:56is going to do it just fine.
00:49:01Whatever happens,
00:49:02this baby's got to go.
00:49:10Sit down, please.
00:49:18I thought the doctor
00:49:19said we were finished.
00:49:20The doctor made a last-minute decision
00:49:21to give you a vitamin shot.
00:49:22It's good for the baby.
00:49:24But the doctor didn't say anything
00:49:25about an injection.
00:49:26Do you know better
00:49:27than medical professionals now?
00:49:28No.
00:49:30Sorry.
00:49:35One little prick
00:49:36and this problem vanishes for good.
00:49:40You?
00:49:49Didn't I make myself clear?
00:49:51Stay away from Leah.
00:49:52You're completely psychotic.
00:49:54They'll lock you up for this.
00:49:56Jail?
00:49:56I'm not trying to kill you here.
00:49:58Just a little nap.
00:49:59And when you wake up
00:50:00that unwanted spawn inside of you,
00:50:02there will be history.
00:50:03Leah will destroy you for this.
00:50:04Don't you dare say his name!
00:50:06Help!
00:50:22Stop!
00:50:22Help!
00:50:23Help!
00:50:24Anybody!
00:50:26Help!
00:50:27Stop fighting it.
00:50:28You have zero chances this time.
00:50:30Jennifer, you've got a death wish.
00:50:47Leo.
00:50:48Are you aware
00:50:48of what you're doing right now?
00:50:50Leo, every single thing I've done
00:50:51has been for our future.
00:50:53That's what left us to you.
00:50:54Call security.
00:50:56This one's getting a police escort.
00:50:57Leo, how can you be so heartless?
00:50:58I'm carrying your child.
00:51:00Oh, yeah?
00:51:01Jennifer, the lying has to stop sometime
00:51:03that night that was at you in my room.
00:51:05No way.
00:51:06Freaking way!
00:51:07How did you find out?
00:51:08Game over, Jennifer.
00:51:10Get her to the police.
00:51:11Leo.
00:51:12Let's go.
00:51:12Come on.
00:51:13You can't do this!
00:51:14Ow.
00:51:14My brother will destroy you both!
00:51:20What's that?
00:51:22Jennifer deceives me.
00:51:24There was no baby with her.
00:51:25Nothing ever happened between us.
00:51:26That night.
00:51:29It was you all along.
00:51:31Right?
00:51:34So you were pregnant with my baby, aren't you?
00:51:44I never should have questioned you.
00:51:46You would have been right here with me the entire time.
00:51:49I'm sorry.
00:51:51You had to carry this burden by yourself.
00:51:53But this child, we're going to protect them.
00:51:57All right?
00:51:57Both of us.
00:52:00I'm hosting a gala.
00:52:01I want the world to know we're together!
00:52:04No more going solo.
00:52:07Ever.
00:52:09Okay.
00:52:09Ryan?
00:52:10Ryan?
00:52:16Leo is parading that cook around as his wife at the banquet.
00:52:20You're seriously okay with this?
00:52:21Jennifer, I literally just got you out of a cell.
00:52:24Can you not?
00:52:26Your Leo obsession needs to stop.
00:52:28Now.
00:52:29I'm not thinking of me.
00:52:30This is all for Monica.
00:52:32Let's not forget, Leo was engaged to Monica.
00:52:36Monica?
00:52:36I only joined this family after Monica had vanished.
00:52:39But you never stopped searching.
00:52:42If she comes back and Leo's hitched to someone else,
00:52:46everyone will mock her.
00:52:48You damn straight.
00:52:50Nobody takes what's Monica's.
00:52:51Nobody!
00:53:06Ring up the whole rack.
00:53:09Sure, sir.
00:53:12Leo.
00:53:13Did you forget who you were supposed to be marrying?
00:53:16To what do I owe this unwelcome visit?
00:53:18Leo, it's such a busy schedule you have.
00:53:21You can't even text your old buddies.
00:53:23Spit it out or get lost.
00:53:24You get yourself a pretty new girlfriend.
00:53:27Suddenly Monica's engagement isn't worth remembering.
00:53:29Look, Monica's situation breaks my heart too.
00:53:34But she vanished as a kid.
00:53:36What, I'm supposed to die alone waiting for a ghost?
00:53:38Monica will be found.
00:53:40And when she is, how will she handle you being seen with that woman?
00:53:45Leo?
00:53:46What's going on?
00:53:50You are breathtaking.
00:53:51I don't think we've met.
00:53:55Are we done here?
00:53:57Tell me, sweetheart.
00:53:59Do you get a kick out of homewrecking?
00:54:01What?
00:54:02Stop trying to steal what isn't yours.
00:54:05That's enough, Ryan.
00:54:11Leo, who was that?
00:54:13Nobody important.
00:54:14Just keep your distance if you see him again.
00:54:21Can you believe Miss Evelyn landed someone like Leo Carter?
00:54:32Straight out of a storybook.
00:54:34They say she's an orphan.
00:54:36Some people have the most unusual luck.
00:54:38Jennifer, shouldn't you be in handcuffs somewhere?
00:55:01My brother Ryan makes jail cells magically open.
00:55:04Funny about that.
00:55:06You know what else is funny?
00:55:07How plain Jane, nobody like you, would have the nerve to steal someone else's fiance.
00:55:12Talk about shameless.
00:55:14What are you talking about?
00:55:15Please, just admit you're the side piece.
00:55:18She's the other woman?
00:55:19God, what a tramp.
00:55:21She must have some special skills to keep Leo so captivated.
00:55:26Enjoy your victory lap while it lasts.
00:55:28When my sister Monica returns, you'll be yesterday's news.
00:55:32What are you even talking about?
00:55:33Jennifer, seriously, this constant harassment has to stop.
00:55:36Find a hobby.
00:55:38Knitting, maybe.
00:55:39So, orphan girl.
00:55:44Pretty slick how you said this whole gold digging operation.
00:55:47But isn't that what it's all about?
00:55:52Here.
00:55:54Take the check.
00:55:56Typical gold digger.
00:55:57I'm already counting the zeros.
00:55:59I'm part of advice.
00:56:01Don't push your luck.
00:56:05Good.
00:56:06Now that you've taken the money, you'll soon be...
00:56:08Is this a game to you?
00:56:17Consider this a lesson in economics.
00:56:21Your check has zero value in my marriage.
00:56:25I'm not leaving Leo.
00:56:27Leo's temporary obsession doesn't make you royalty.
00:56:30What are you really?
00:56:31Take a good look in the mirror.
00:56:33Trash.
00:56:33Have you lost mind assaulting my sister?
00:56:42She needed another reality check.
00:56:45That's all to be expected from an orphan.
00:56:48Absolutely zero class.
00:56:50She's completely unhinged.
00:56:52Her parents probably saw it coming and ran.
00:56:55Shut your head.
00:56:56The audacity.
00:56:59First you snatch my sister's fiancee.
00:57:01Then you assault me in public?
00:57:03Apologize to my sister.
00:57:05Right now.
00:57:06Get your hands off of me.
00:57:08Last chance.
00:57:10Apologize or prepare to face the consequences.
00:57:16This woman's unhinged.
00:57:18She drew blood.
00:57:20Someone called a psychiatric where we've got a live one.
00:57:23Hands off her.
00:57:26Touch her.
00:57:28I dare you.
00:57:32Leo.
00:57:33Can't you see what she is?
00:57:35She threw a drink at me and clawed my brother.
00:57:38Funny.
00:57:38I just saw two people ganging up on my wife.
00:57:41Leo, what kind of spell has she put on you?
00:57:43This tramp destroyed our family's engagement.
00:57:48You're engaged.
00:57:50If not for that accident,
00:57:52Leo would have been engaged to someone else.
00:57:56Nick?
00:57:57Get her out of here.
00:58:00You're throwing me out because of this tramp?
00:58:03Again?
00:58:03If this is how little you value our family, Leo,
00:58:07then you can consider our partnership terminated.
00:58:10We're done here.
00:58:11Monica.
00:58:12Monica.
00:58:12Forget her.
00:58:23She's in the past.
00:58:24What I care about is right now.
00:58:27What about burning bridges with a wood family?
00:58:30Won't that hurt your company?
00:58:31If it does, I'll make you pay.
00:58:35Bye.
00:58:36Spending a lifetime making it up to me.
00:58:37Oh, okay, look.
00:58:50All our customers left.
00:58:53Yeah, and they're complaining the taste of the food.
00:58:57What is this taste-off nonsense?
00:58:59We haven't changed a single recipe or technique.
00:59:01Shut it, okay?
00:59:02The disaster is on you.
00:59:05Some master apprentice chef.
00:59:06You are.
00:59:07Your food sucks.
00:59:08Okay, and we're going to be out of business within weeks.
00:59:10Are you kidding me?
00:59:12Hey.
00:59:13It's your bottom-feeder customers who don't appreciate it for real food.
00:59:22Hi.
00:59:23What can I do for you, ma'am?
00:59:25This place is clearly on its lost legs.
00:59:29We're just simply experiencing a momentary...
00:59:34I'm willing to invest in this place.
00:59:39You know what?
00:59:42What incredible insight did you have?
00:59:44Hold on, hold on.
00:59:45This is our head chef.
00:59:47She trained a little legendary chef.
00:59:49You can see.
00:59:49Great.
00:59:51Oh, my God.
00:59:53Are those culinary gala passes?
00:59:56It's over here.
00:59:56It's the event of the year.
00:59:59One appetizer there gets more publicity than most restaurants seen in a lifetime.
01:00:03No, no, no.
01:00:03Mr. Dinner and fully chatting.
01:00:06And with one single nod, that means we'll have reservations.
01:00:08We've just worked out for years.
01:00:10He just...
01:00:11Why would you do this for us?
01:00:16We have the same enemy.
01:00:18All in good time, darlings.
01:00:20All in good time.
01:00:23Good timing indeed for us.
01:00:24What?
01:00:25The culinary gala is happening this weekend.
01:00:36Would you care to join me as my date?
01:00:38I'll go.
01:00:41But I'll be there as head chef.
01:00:43Not as your arm can do you.
01:00:44Eveline Taylor.
01:00:59Seriously?
01:01:00What's next?
01:01:01The dishwasher getting Michelin star?
01:01:03You know, this is an A-list event.
01:01:06With every food mogul in attendance, what did you, let me guess, sneak in here for the buffet?
01:01:10Where down the street is your restaurant shutting down. Is that true?
01:01:15How dare you spread such vicious rumors.
01:01:17Can we get security to kick this con artist out?
01:01:20I have an invitation to this event. Who's gonna kick me out?
01:01:23They invited a nobody like you. They lose their minds.
01:01:27Evelyn?
01:01:28You know, we needed Miss Jennifer's help from our invitation.
01:01:32And what makes you think that you're so worthy to be here, huh?
01:01:36Madeline, Caleb, why waste your breath on this nobody?
01:01:41Jennifer! What's your angle this time?
01:01:44Imagine my surprise. Running into such trouble at an event my family sponsors.
01:01:49Miss Jennifer, allow us to take out this trash for you.
01:01:53Hands off now.
01:02:03Jennifer, mess with Evelyn again. Not even your brother can protect you.
01:02:06Mr. Carter, don't believe Evelyn's act. She's nothing but a fraud.
01:02:10Yeah, she dropped Caleb like garbage once she realized your money.
01:02:14Get her out of here.
01:02:16Hey, hey, how dare you? I'm Chef E's prodigy. And a big new thing in the food world.
01:02:23You? Chef E's apprentice?
01:02:25What? Told that lie enough times even you started to believe it?
01:02:28That's bullshit. I trained directly under Chef E.
01:02:32So who's the liar here?
01:02:33Look at Madeline's confidence. She has to be the real apprentice.
01:02:37I can settle this debate with one taste of her cooking.
01:02:41Oh my god, it's Durand! The ultimate authority on Chef E's technique.
01:02:48Well, Miss Evans, care to put your skills to the test?
01:02:52Alright, but only if Evelyn competes too.
01:02:56Loser quits the food industry for good. Even if you lose?
01:03:02Have you lost your mind? There's no way we're losing.
01:03:07When you lose, you'll apologize to me in front of everyone. And whoever I like.
01:03:15Deal. Ready to solve your way out of the food industry.
01:03:22You incompetent idiots! How long does it take to find my sister?
01:03:26Oh, goodness.
01:03:29Wait! Show me the birthmark on the nape of your neck!
01:03:36Back off! Get your hands off of me!
01:03:38Come with me to the hospital! Please!
01:03:40Are you insane? Why would I go anywhere with you?
01:03:43Listen to me, you might actually be-
01:03:45Don't touch me, you freak!
01:03:48One DNA test will tell me everything.
01:03:58Leah, hand me my chef whites.
01:04:18What are you doing?
01:04:28Is Evelyn actually Chef E?
01:04:41What's in that?
01:04:43Something that destroys taste buds.
01:04:47You want to play games with me, Evelyn?
01:04:49I'll bury you so deep you'll never climb out.
01:04:52Show us your culinary creations, ladies.
01:04:55Three, two, one, go.
01:05:00No one can find out I'm lying about being a Chef E student.
01:05:03Losing isn't an option.
01:05:05The like?
01:05:06I'm not sick.
01:05:07I'll listen to you later.
01:05:08I'm just good at you.
01:05:09Look at it all.
01:05:10You're even if I don't want to destroy.
01:05:13I'm just nervous.
01:05:14I'm so nervous.
01:05:15I'm so nervous.
01:05:16I'm so nervous.
01:05:17Oh, no, no, no.
01:05:18I'm so nervous that I can't get along with my friends.
01:05:19I'm so nervous.
01:05:22Can I please it be.
01:05:24I?
01:05:26How do I alarm?
01:05:28I'm so nervous.
01:05:29Have fun.
01:05:30Have fun.
01:05:31I'm so nervous.
01:05:33How do you feel?
01:05:34This dish has quite unusual appearance, and such flair, and daring, and ingredient pairing.
01:05:52Even Mr. Duran praised Madeline. It's no wonder she's Chef E's student.
01:05:58It's not too late to give up now.
01:05:59What is this? Why are these two the same?
01:06:05Who's the copycat here?
01:06:10Are you sure this is okay?
01:06:12I've seen everyone make this exact dish. Try it.
01:06:15Oh my god.
01:06:28That's right.
01:06:31No one has ever seen this dish before. Use it to defeat Evelyn.
01:06:35Hmm.
01:06:37Evelyn, how dare you steal my creation?
01:06:43Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
01:06:45Whatever she says, this is my win.
01:06:49Mr. Duran, please try the dish now.
01:06:52Mr. Duran maintains his notorious high standards.
01:07:02Seven for Mr. Duran proves Madeline is a prodigy.
01:07:07It is identical to my recipe, down to the last detail, but...
01:07:11Madeline, care to explain the lemon in your dish?
01:07:15I can't reveal my culinary secrets.
01:07:20I'll explain then. The lemon ruins it.
01:07:22Indeed. Without the acidity from the lemon, this would be superior.
01:07:29How did you know?
01:07:31I created this dish when I worked at Mitchell & Vine.
01:07:35I'm the original chef.
01:07:37Wait, so did Madeline steal this recipe?
01:07:40How else would she know that lemon compromises the flavor?
01:07:43I thought she studied under Chef E. Why would a chef of her pedigree plagiarize?
01:07:50Wait, wait.
01:07:54Esteemed guests, I am the owner of Mitchell & Vine, and I swear by an earth,
01:07:59Evelyn did not create this dish.
01:08:05Caleb, you're a real piece of work.
01:08:07I get it. You're still the man that I fired you.
01:08:11But don't you dare bring Madeline into your vendetta.
01:08:14Are you trying to twist the truth?
01:08:16No, I swear Madeline, her cooking is undeniable.
01:08:19Mr. Durand, be careful of her. Okay?
01:08:22Evelyn, do you have any proof this dish is yours?
01:08:26Nothing concrete.
01:08:29No smoking guns means no case.
01:08:31Moving on. Time to see what Evelyn's cooked up.
01:08:34Mind-blowing. I mean, sure, similar dishes.
01:08:46But this, this is ingredient of poetry.
01:08:50Absolutely perfection.
01:08:54Mr. Durand gave Evelyn a perfect 10.
01:08:56Who is this Evelyn person anyway?
01:08:58Is this going to be happening?
01:09:00I told you I'd crush this.
01:09:02I hereby declare, the winner of this little culinary contest is...
01:09:07Hold on.
01:09:10Mr. Durand, this contest has been compromised.
01:09:13What are you implying?
01:09:14I believe Evelyn has cheated.
01:09:17How could I have possibly cheated?
01:09:24And no one, Chef, couldn't possibly outdo the sole apprentice of Chef E.
01:09:28Seriously? That's your evidence?
01:09:31Let's be real. Chef E is a culinary god.
01:09:33The only way she could have won is by cheating.
01:09:37Hear that? No one's buying it.
01:09:40We need another round right now.
01:09:41Here's my decision. One final round. Recreating Chef E's signature dish, Destiny.
01:09:53No way.
01:09:54The dish that made Chef E famous at the Final Chef Showdown.
01:09:57We're seeing this live.
01:09:59Durand practically used to swoon over that dish back in the day.
01:10:02He is going to scrutinize every bite.
01:10:05Jackpot. I've practiced this recipe till I could make it in my sleep.
01:10:10Will you take up the challenge?
01:10:13Absolutely.
01:10:17Boss, how can you laugh when Miss Taylor is in such a tight spot?
01:10:21This might get interesting.
01:10:27Are you serious about this?
01:10:29What's wrong?
01:10:30This is my mentor's masterpiece we were talking about.
01:10:32But you should do it right there if you're not up for it.
01:10:37What's so funny?
01:10:38Oh nothing. I'm just laughing at you.
01:10:41Digging your own grave.
01:10:42You just had luck earlier.
01:10:44But now I'm going to crush you.
01:10:46Bring it on.
01:10:48Evelyn, you can still back out. There's no shame in that.
01:10:52What, you're not humiliated enough already?
01:10:55What, you need a bigger crowd?
01:10:58Just get out of here and make me sick.
01:10:59If you're going to be difficult, I'll destroy you once and for all.
01:11:16They're now creating Chef E's masterpiece.
01:11:28Destiny.
01:11:34Destiny.
01:11:35You know your heart's racing.
01:11:55You're the one.
01:11:56Tomatoes and Destiny.
01:12:00Are you just freestyling because you know you're toast?
01:12:02Do you ever shut up?
01:12:04Oh, keep that attitude.
01:12:06But you're about to get schooled in what Destiny truly means.
01:12:10Madeline learned this recipe directly from Chef E.
01:12:19No one can beat her unless Chef E shows up herself.
01:12:21Oh, Leo.
01:12:34Open your eyes.
01:12:35Evelyn's a total loser.
01:12:37She's so beneath you.
01:12:41Sorry, um,
01:12:43Ms. Jennifer, your perfume, it's basically a chemical weapon.
01:12:47Can't have you gassing the boss.
01:12:49Leo, mark my words, you'll be mine.
01:12:51Just watch Evelyn crash and burn in this industry.
01:12:55It's time.
01:12:59Are you kidding me?
01:13:00If you don't know the dish, don't just wing it.
01:13:03Three's ours.
01:13:08So you just decided to reinvent Chef E's iconic dish?
01:13:14Bold move.
01:13:15Chef E didn't create Destiny as a recipe to be copied.
01:13:19She created it as a challenge to follow your own path.
01:13:21So you're saying your mishmash surpasses the master's original?
01:13:25Mr. Duran, please just try the dishes.
01:13:34Solid construction.
01:13:35You captured the essence of the original.
01:13:49As crazy as it sounds, you not only honored Chef Eve's iconic vision, you transcended it.
01:13:58This can't be.
01:14:00This can't be happening.
01:14:02This can't be happening.
01:14:03You cheated.
01:14:04Admit it.
01:14:11On the topic of cheating, I think I've got something you'd want to see.
01:14:14How did you even...
01:14:29I saw it coming a mile away.
01:14:31I had her equipment replaced before you could do any damage.
01:14:33This crosses all the lines.
01:14:39Evelyn, Caleb, you are banned from the culinary world.
01:14:43PERMANENT!
01:14:44I'm done.
01:14:46It's over.
01:14:47It's over.
01:14:48It's over.
01:14:49Can I ask?
01:14:50Does the triumph of your destiny have anything to do with my contribution?
01:14:55Because I think I'm the one chained to the end of this destiny.
01:14:58Oh my god, that's Chef Eve's mask.
01:15:04Evelyn, don't you think it's time for a proper introduction?
01:15:13Miss me, everyone?
01:15:18No, that's impossible.
01:15:20You can't possibly be Chef Eve.
01:15:22That is Chef Eve.
01:15:23I remember that mask figure accepting my award.
01:15:28It's burned into my memory.
01:15:33Stop right there.
01:15:35Are you forgetting about our wager?
01:15:37Evelyn, you could stop now, please.
01:15:40Are you having second thoughts about paying up?
01:15:42Acting all high and mighty earlier, and now you're scurrying like rats.
01:15:46Yeah.
01:15:47Pay up, losers?
01:15:48Sorry.
01:15:49Sorry.
01:15:50Sorry, what was that?
01:15:51I couldn't hear you.
01:15:52We're sorry.
01:15:56Yeah, you know, it's just not doing it for me.
01:15:57Wait, why?
01:15:59You know...
01:16:06Put these on.
01:16:09Take a lap.
01:16:09Evelyn.
01:16:12Come on, you don't have to take it this far.
01:16:14Deal's a deal.
01:16:15Yeah, let's show it off.
01:16:16Now these would look great outside of your restaurant.
01:16:22Not so fast.
01:16:24You are not going anywhere until Evelyn gets what she knows.
01:16:29We are going to get your girl in vibes right now.
01:16:31Kind of.
01:16:39Die, bitch!
01:16:39Evelyn!
01:16:46Die, bitch!
01:16:46Evelyn!
01:16:57Oh my god.
01:16:58Are you bleeding?
01:17:00Thank god you're okay.
01:17:05Seriously, Jennifer?
01:17:06Going full slasher movie in raw daylight?
01:17:09It was an accident!
01:17:09Ryan, please.
01:17:12I swear, everything I did, I did for Monica's sake.
01:17:17You have the nerve to bring up Monica.
01:17:20Evelyn is Monica.
01:17:23You nearly stabbed my own sister.
01:17:27That can't be.
01:17:27She can't be her!
01:17:29You are no longer my sister.
01:17:31Banished from the Wood family.
01:17:32You can't.
01:17:34Please.
01:17:36You can't do this!
01:17:37Monica, I finally found you.
01:17:43Monica.
01:17:49What are you talking about?
01:17:51The lab doesn't lie.
01:17:54DNA test.
01:17:56You're my sister, Monica Woods.
01:17:59We've been searching for you for so long.
01:18:02Even mom and dad didn't give up until their final breath.
01:18:05I'm sorry, wasn't it?
01:18:07See?
01:18:08You were always treasured.
01:18:11Congrats on the whole family reunion thing.
01:18:13Monica, I'm so happy.
01:18:15This paper entitles you to 50% of Wood Enterprises.
01:18:19Now it's yours.
01:18:20Ryan Wood is handing over half the company to Evelyn just like that?
01:18:23Clearly, the sister means a lot to him.
01:18:26Oh no, I can't.
01:18:29It's rightfully yours.
01:18:30Please, take it.
01:18:35Evelyn Destiny brought us together.
01:18:43So this is me officially asking, will you marry me?
01:18:48Don't let the man hang.
01:18:49Girl, say yes already.
01:18:51Yes, I will.
01:19:02Remember Leo, if you break her heart, you'll have me to answer too.
01:19:06Don't worry, that's not going to happen.
01:19:07Don't worry, that's not going to happen.
01:19:22Your deathbed performance that stopped their divorce?
01:19:25Emmy worthy, Miss Carter.
01:19:27Nice teamwork.
01:19:34Well, well, well.
01:19:36Look how miraculously healthy you are.
01:19:39You know, it seems I just had a miraculous feeling of improvement.
01:19:45Right?
01:19:46It must be the power of joy that healed Grandma.
01:19:52Come on, Grandma.
01:19:53Game's over.
01:19:54We got you right-handed.
01:19:56Grandma, we have bigger news.
01:20:00Well, do tell.
01:20:02Grandma.
01:20:05You're about to become a great-grandma.
01:20:08Oh, my God.
01:20:13Well, this is a cause for a proper celebration.
01:20:23Just so you know, Nick, you can kiss that Christmas bonus goodbye.
01:20:27What?
01:20:29No, no, um, I'm sorry.
01:20:31Why me?
01:20:32You helped Grandma with her act.
01:20:33I think someone needs to pay the price.
01:20:37The universe is against me.
01:20:42What am I going to do?
01:20:45My cats.
01:20:46All six of them.
01:20:51I was going to get them cat new.
01:20:52A new cat tree.
01:20:55Maybe some tuna.
01:20:57Now I can.
