Transcript

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.

00:00:39It tastes like that three year old bra that was just crispy and rigid.

00:00:46Come here.

00:00:48What the hell is going on here? Who the fuck is she?

00:00:51Are you blind? She's my girlfriend.

00:00:53So what the hell was I for the past three years?

00:00:56You're just a chef that smells like garlic.

00:00:59I mean, men eat your food, but hey, dream of my life.

00:01:04I mean, when was the last time can you have even been bothered with me?

00:01:07You shut your mouth, you tramp!

00:01:09Hey!

00:01:11That's enough.

00:01:12Evelyn, I've never liked you, okay?

00:01:15Oh my god!

00:01:16See me on kitchen grease?

00:01:18Literally just makes me want to throw up right now.

00:01:20Your 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.

00:01:33Oh my god, he's still here.

00:01:34Evelyn, you are fired.

00:01:35It's just, I never want to see you.

00:01:38I'm the one firing you two.

00:01:40Oh!

00:01:41Oh my god!

00:01:43Oh my god!

00:01:44Bitch!

00:01:45Assholes!

00:01:46Yes!

00:01:47Every penny I had, I spent on his stupid restaurant.

00:02:05I haven't even kept my chef E-identity secret to spare his fragile ego.

00:02:10And for what?

00:02:11To be treated like garbage?

00:02:13Okay.

00:02:14You are not spending another second on that jerk!

00:02:19Get up!

00:02:20Get up!

00:02:21Come on!

00:02:22Turn around.

00:02:23The world is your voice.

00:02:26Stop pouting!

00:02:31It's time to play!

00:02:45I've been searching for you for three years.

00:02:48Where are you?

00:02:56And the winner is...

00:03:08Sheffy!

00:03:16Sheffy's in the lounge.

00:03:17She actually cured your anorexia.

00:03:19Sophie?

00:03:20Keila proposed!

00:03:22No, I think I'm gonna keep my chef E-identity secret for now.

00:03:25I'll still help him with his restaurant, just quietly.

00:03:40She's just behind this door.

00:03:55I think my drink's been spiked.

00:03:56Oh!

00:03:57Hey!

00:03:58You good?

00:03:59You must be a hero.

00:04:00You must be a hero.

00:04:01You must be a hero.

00:04:06Hey, you good?

00:04:36Yo, let's enjoy yourselves in the room I prepared just for us.

00:05:02Did we really get that wild last night?

00:05:30That asshole!

00:05:42Oh Caleb, today is not your lucky day.

00:05:48Rocks in hell.

00:06:04Take the meeting, I'll make it in half an hour.

00:06:18What the hell did you do to my car?

00:06:20Oh thank god, he doesn't recognize me.

00:06:24This is your car?

00:06:28I'm so sorry.

00:06:30Um, wrong car.

00:06:32Yeah, classic mix-up.

00:06:34I'll pay for the damages.

00:06:36Just let me know how much it is.

00:06:38That'll be 50 grand for a repaint.

00:06:40Cash or check?

00:06:4250 grand? Why don't you just mug me instead?

00:06:44I don't have time for this.

00:06:46The cops can deal with this mess. Sound good?

00:06:48Cops! No! Don't call the cops! Don't call the cops!

00:06:50Hello? Don't call the cops!

00:06:51Yeah, I'd like to report property damage.

00:06:52Please don't call the cops!

00:06:54I'd love for them to see this!

00:06:55Oh, was that a threat?

00:06:56No, no, no, no. I'm just... negotiating?

00:07:04I'm in a hurry. Take this off me, and I'll let you go.

00:07:10And I don't have to pay?

00:07:12Before I change my mind.

00:07:14Okay, okay, okay!

00:07:15Hey! Thank you.

00:07:21I might not have the key.

00:07:31Seriously? We're not gonna take these off first?

00:07:33No time, just follow my lead, and do not act weird.

00:07:39Ah, Mr. Carter.

00:07:42We 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.

00:07:54Oh!

00:07:55Hi.

00:07:56Hi.

00:08:01We're doing a little corporate bonding thing.

00:08:04Okay.

00:08:06Bonding, huh?

00:08:12That is, uh, that's quite the progressive bonding exercise, isn't it?

00:08:31Mr. Carter, I paid top dollar for Chef E's exclusive recipe.

00:08:42I think that would be worth an extra ten points on the offer, wouldn't it?

00:08:46Chef E?

00:08:47That's right.

00:08:48Carter's been chasing Chef E forever. This sale is locked.

00:08:52It's not Chef E's recipe.

00:08:54What?

00:08:55I'm sorry, Mr. 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?

00:09:55I heard you're in handcuffs, so I brought a lawyer.

00:09:59And a locksmith.

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.

00:10:22I will take those.

00:10:26Okay.

00:10:28You know, I saved you money back there.

00:10:30That'll be my compensation.

00:10:32Fine.

00:10:33Later.

00:10:38Boss!

00:10:39Who's she?

00:10:47Cheers, guys!

00:10:48Cheers!

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?

00:11:05Oh!

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?

00:11:31Seriously?

00:11:32Hilarious.

00:11:33Oh, my God.

00:11:34You're funny.

00:11:36How does Evelyn, Kayla breaks up with you, and you go into a full psychotic break?

00:11:41I mean, behold this face, people.

00:11:43Scarce kiss your burnout into sterility.

00:11:45I mean, who would get excited about this package?

00:11:48We should beat it now, because it's my garbage can and I'm waiting to take trash like people.

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.

00:12:09See, Evelyn?

00:12:21Kayla clearly loves me, so he can stop obsessing over him.

00:12:25What?

00:12:27Congratulations.

00:12:28You snagged an absolute gem.

00:12:30You know, my new guy is hotter, richer, and way more impressive.

00:12:35That's where it counts.

00:12:36Hey.

00:12:38What are you implying?

00:12:39Evelyn, did you really invent a boyfriend to make yourself feel better?

00:12:42Right. I mean, if he's real, where is it?

00:12:44Show 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.

00:12:54Kayla rejects her, so she comes up with this pathetic story.

00:12:58You know what, Evelyn, just go with me.

00:13:01I mean, at this point, you're just humiliating yourself.

00:13:03I mean, I'm sorry for you.

00:13:04You know what?

00:13:05Why don't you use that cash for some, um, therapy?

00:13:12He's right there.

00:13:17Mr. Carter, what's Carter Group's strategy this year?

00:13:19We are acquiring 10 premium restaurants to establish.

00:13:21Bombshell.

00:13:22Carter Group's CEO has a public kiss with an unknown woman?

00:13:36That's literally the most powerful man in the city.

00:13:37There's zero chance he's dating Evelyn.

00:13:49You better have a good reason for this.

00:13:50I'm so sorry.

00:13:51Please just help me out.

00:13:52Mr. Carter, what's your relationship with this woman?

00:13:56She's my fiancee.

00:13:57Oh, yeah.

00:13:58Oh, yeah.

00:13:59Come here.

00:14:00Come here.

00:14:01Come here.

00:14:02Come here.

00:14:03As nice as you're doing.

00:14:04Any other questions?

00:14:05Okay, but you could have said girlfriend.

00:14:06I mean, why go full fiancee?

00:14:07Girlfriend.

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

00:14:09What do you think that does to my company's value?

00:14:10Well, people love a young couple in love.

00:14:11I mean, that kind of press could give you a bump.

00:14:12Your people?

00:14:13Maybe.

00:14:14Mine?

00:14:15Not so far.

00:14:16No.

00:14:17No.

00:14:18No.

00:14:19No.

00:14:20No.

00:14:21No.

00:14:22No.

00:14:23No.

00:14:24No.

00:14:25No.

00:14:26No.

00:14:27No.

00:14:28No.

00:14:29No.

00:14:30No.

00:14:31No.

00:14:32No.

00:14:33No.

00:14:34No.

00:14:35No.

00:14:36No.

00:14:37No.

00:14:38No.

00:14:39No.

00:14:40No.

00:14:41No.

00:14:42No.

00:14:43No.

00:14:44No.

00:14:45No.

00:14:46No.

00:14:47No.

00:14:48No.

00:14:49No.

00:14:50No.

00:14:51No.

00:14:52No.

00:14:53No.

00:14:54No.

00:14:55No.

00:14:56No.

00:14:57No.

00:14:58No.

00:14:59No.

00:15:00No.

00:15:01No.

00:15:02No.

00:15:03No.

00:15:04No.

00:15:05No.

00:15:06No.

00:15:07Jizz?

00:15:09Marry me.

00:15:19Contract marriage, divorce after one year.

00:15:21Your bedroom is down the hall, on the left.

00:15:23Fine, you corporate vulture.

00:15:26Being my wife comes with specific duties.

00:15:29And what are these duties?

00:15:37All of this is...for me?

00:15:48Naturally.

00:15:50Consider it an investment in making sure you look the part of my wife.

00:15:54For your everyday spending.

00:15:57No limit on this card.

00:16:00No, I can't accept that.

00:16:02This is a business deal between equals.

00:16:06Consider it a wedding gift.

00:16:10Fine.

00:16:14I insist.

00:16:29Hi.

00:16:36Damn.

00:16:37This feels too real to be a dream.

00:16:40You're in the wrong room.

00:16:42Sorry.

00:16:43So sorry.

00:16:44Oh my god, I will leave.

00:16:45Right now.

00:16:46Whoa.

00:16:47Whoa.

00:16:48Jeez.

00:16:49What is with the attitude?

00:16:50It's nothing I haven't seen before.

00:16:52What did you just say?

00:16:53Nothing.

00:16:54Nothing.

00:16:55Nothing.

00:16:56Nothing.

00:16:57Just sleep talking.

00:16:58Sweet dreams.

00:16:59Sweet dreams.

00:17:00What did you just say?

00:17:01Nothing.

00:17:02Nothing.

00:17:03Nothing.

00:17:04Just sleep talking.

00:17:05Sweet dreams.

00:17:06What is with you?

00:17:07What is with the attitude?

00:17:08It's nothing I haven't seen before.

00:17:09What did you just say?

00:17:11Nothing.

00:17:12Nothing.

00:17:13Just sleep talking.

00:17:14Sweet dreams.

00:17:15I haven't seen before.

00:17:17What did you just say?

00:17:19Nothing. Nothing.

00:17:21Just sleep talking.

00:17:23Sweet dreams.

00:17:39Too many mishaps last night.

00:17:41But, what better apology from a culinary genius?

00:17:45I'm pissed.

00:17:51Hey, I made you breakfast.

00:17:53No thanks.

00:17:54What? You didn't even take a single bite.

00:17:57That's disrespectful to the food and the chef.

00:17:59This isn't about respect.

00:18:01I have struggled with severe anorexia,

00:18:03which is why I have someone who handles my breakfast.

00:18:07Anorexia?

00:18:08Oh, is that so hard to believe?

00:18:10I'm so sorry.

00:18:12I just had no idea.

00:18:14Everything in your life just seems so perfect and put together.

00:18:20I guess everyone has their struggles, huh?

00:18:22Man, even someone together like me has their problems.

00:18:25Now if you-

00:18:26Bitches.

00:18:27If you don't move, I will be late.

00:18:29Please just take one bite.

00:18:30Just one bite and then I'll let you go.

00:18:32I promise.

00:18:34Please.

00:18:35I'll let you go.

00:18:36I'm gonna let you go.

00:18:37I'm gonna let you go.

00:18:38I'll let you go.

00:18:39I'm gonna let her and let you go.

00:18:40See that's not-

00:18:41See, that's not-

00:18:53Well, 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?

00:19:16Didn't you say you were going to join me for breakfast?

00:19:18No, it's my first day on the new job.

00:19:20Can't be late.

00:19:21But...

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.

00:19:37You married somebody?

00:19:40The bitch from that night.

00:19:46I'm going to see Leo right now.

00:19:52Come here, come here, come here.

00:19:54Okay, so, I have the hottest gossip.

00:19:57The boss's new wife is visiting today.

00:19:59No way.

00:20:00I wonder what she looks like the news clip only showing her profiles.

00:20:02It's totally unclear, right?

00:20:04Okay, what kind of dumb ass commentary is that?

00:20:06The boss's wife is gorgeous.

00:20:07She's the boss's wife.

00:20:08She's the boss's wife.

00:20:09Just be on your toes and you treat her like royalty.

00:20:12No need for the formality.

00:20:22I'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.

00:20:51They think I'm Leo's wife.

00:21:00Don't make a fuss.

00:21:01Just call me Jennifer.

00:21:02Jennifer, absolutely, of course.

00:21:04Was that the new head chef who just walked by?

00:21:06Indeed.

00:21:07Funny how life works out that way, isn't it?

00:21:09You're both similar in age, yet worlds apart in status.

00:21:13Well, you're the boss's new wife, and she's stuck in the kitchen cooking.

00:21:22Oh, no comparison whatsoever.

00:21:25Jennifer, right?

00:21:28Mr. Carter isn't in today, but we'll ensure top-notch service.

00:21:33Absolutely.

00:21:34You and the boss are totally made for each other.

00:21:36Of course.

00:21:37I'm the only woman suitable to be Mrs. Carter.

00:21:43I'm so happy that Leo finally settled down.

00:21:53Do you think his wife will appreciate these gifts?

00:21:58Perhaps two more villas, too?

00:22:02Mr. Carter never mentioned Evelyn.

00:22:05What if she is simply after his money?

00:22:09You're right.

00:22:11Perhaps I should get to know her personally.

00:22:23Oh, my goodness! Are you okay?

00:22:29I haven't eaten. May I have some soup?

00:22:31Yeah, of course. Yeah, come with me.

00:22:37Order anything you'd like. It's on me.

00:22:39It's on me.

00:22:40Thank you. You're so kind.

00:22:42All happy.

00:22:44What do you think you're doing?

00:22:45This is a fine dining restaurant.

00:22:47You can't bring in homeless people.

00:22:49Get her out now.

00:22:50You can't do this. She needs our help.

00:22:52That's her problem. This is a restaurant, not a charity.

00:22:56What kind of standard is this for treating guests?

00:22:58Every human being deserves the right to a proper meal.

00:23:01Oh, please. Save your bleeding heart.

00:23:04Look at the new chef.

00:23:06Thinking she owns the place?

00:23:08Bringing in street people?

00:23:10Our clientele are people of good standing.

00:23:12Having this vagabond around will just hurt our reputation.

00:23:15Did you hear that? Hurry up and make her leave.

00:23:18Her word is law around here.

00:23:20Hold on. Who's the boss's wife here?

00:23:23Uh, excuse me? Has age ruined your eyes and ears?

00:23:26This is our boss's wife.

00:23:28Mrs. Carter.

00:23:30Jennifer.

00:23:31Why are they referring to her as the boss's wife?

00:23:35I thought Evelyn held that title.

00:23:41Okay, just because you're the boss's wife,

00:23:43that doesn't mean you get to humiliate people.

00:23:45We're all equals here.

00:23:49Equality.

00:23:52As the boss's wife,

00:23:54I am superior to the rubbish chef in you dirty street trash.

00:23:59Aw, did you hear that, Evelyn?

00:24:01Or 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?

00:24:07Their behavior is disgraceful.

00:24:12What?

00:24:13Grandma's at the restaurant.

00:24:15Yes.

00:24:16Mrs. Carter somehow discovered Miss Taylor's new position as head chef,

00:24:19and, well, she wanted to see for herself.

00:24:22Evelyn, please don't slip up in front of my grandma.

00:24:27This woman just wants some food.

00:24:28She 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.

00:24:41You 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?

00:24:51You insignificant nothing.

00:24:53You're fired.

00:24:56You're the one that needs to be fired.

00:24:58Fire me?

00:24:59It's rich coming from someone who looks like they sleep in a cardboard box.

00:25:08Maybe she bummed her head and thought she was the CEO's granny.

00:25:12Oh, poor thing.

00:25:13You seriously don't know who Jennifer is to the owner?

00:25:17And you're trying to fire her?

00:25:19That's comedy.

00:25:20Her wiring is clearly fried.

00:25:23Broke and insane.

00:25:24Now that's hilarious.

00:25:25That's enough!

00:25:26I'm taking you somewhere decent.

00:25:28Awesome!

00:25:29Hit 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.

00:25:37Hag!

00:25:38Get them out of here.

00:25:39Now!

00:25:43Ah!

00:25:44Dare you touch me?

00:25:45The audacity!

00:25:46You lunatic!

00:25:47You just assaulted him!

00:25:49Forget me that we're going straight to prison.

00:25:51Oh, don't twist this.

00:25:52You attacked us first.

00:25:53Precisely.

00:25:54You people are a complete embarrassment to this company.

00:26:03You needed a reality check.

00:26:04What the hell, you psycho bitch!

00:26:08Stop!

00:26:19Leo, this psycho grandma is terrorizing your restaurant.

00:26:24Call the police now!

00:26:25Yes, that's right.

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

00:26:28Does everyone here feel the same way?

00:26:30Oh, Mr. Carter, don't you worry.

00:26:32I'll remove these people at...

00:26:33What?

00:26:34Shut up!

00:26:35There will be zero discrimination in any Carter establishment.

00:26:38You are done here.

00:26:40Evelyn is in charge from now on.

00:26:43Hold on.

00:26:44Leo owns this place?

00:26:45Mr. Carter, I was just following Mrs. Carter's words.

00:26:48You know, I look for my wife.

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.

00:27:01She... she... she... she's your wife?

00:27:04Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up.

00:27:07You lied to us?

00:27:09I didn't say anything.

00:27:10You jumped to conclusions.

00:27:11Yeah, but you never denied it.

00:27:12Not even once.

00:27:13We are so bad.

00:27:14We just insulted the real Mrs. Carter.

00:27:17Everyone apologize to her.

00:27:19Now.

00:27:20We are so sorry.

00:27:21So sorry.

00:27:22So sorry.

00:27:24Leo, you want me to apologize to street trash?

00:27:27That's humiliating!

00:27:28Throw her out.

00:27:29You are banned from this restaurant.

00:27:31Come on.

00:27:32Leo.

00:27:33Bye.

00:27:34You can't do this to me!

00:27:35Come on.

00:27:36Let's go.

00:27:41Grandma, are you okay?

00:27:45Grandma?

00:27:51I'm sorry.

00:27:52I didn't realize you were Leo's grandmother.

00:27:55Evelyn, you really are a lovely young woman.

00:27:59And you suit Leo well.

00:28:01I'm going to have Nick drive me home.

00:28:04Then I'm going to grab a few things and I'm going to stay at your place for a bit.

00:28:09Grandma, that's not...

00:28:11That's not necessary.

00:28:13We're screwed.

00:28:14We're screwed.

00:28:15She's totally going to find out about her fake marriage.

00:28:17Get it together, Evelyn.

00:28:18We need to get home and get ready now.

00:28:21Bye.

00:28:22Ma'am, you should probably keep your seatbelt on.

00:28:26Are those two just playing house for my sake?

00:28:27Uh, Ms. Carter, what would give you that idea?

00:28:29Their interactions seem cursed.

00:28:30Impossible.

00:28:31I mean, these two are head over heels for each other.

00:28:32Is that so?

00:28:33Absolutely.

00:28:34A hundred percent.

00:28:35I mean, they are amazing together.

00:28:36I mean, I have a front row seat.

00:28:37Well, I really like Evelyn.

00:28:38I really think that she's what Leo needs to find real happiness.

00:28:43Boss, for the love of God, don't you and Ms. Taylor screw this up.

00:29:06Hurry.

00:29:07Grandma's almost here.

00:29:08She's not going to barge in my bed.

00:29:09Hurry! Grandma's almost here!

00:29:12She's knocking the bars in my bedroom.

00:29:15Oh my god! Could you please put something on?

00:29:25Great. Now it looks like a real couple's bedroom.

00:29:28After a tornado.

00:29:39So how did you two find each other?

00:29:50We met at a bar.

00:29:52At a restaurant?

00:29:54One of those bar-restaurant combos, you know?

00:29:59Oh, yes. And how long have you been together?

00:30:04Three months?

00:30:06Yes.

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. Actually, I've had a crush on her for a very long time.

00:30:27Hmm.

00:30:34Evelyn fell asleep in my guest room, so I thought I'd return her to you.

00:30:39What's going on?

00:30:50You heard her. I 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. I know. My fault.

00:30:58Sleep on the floor. Happy?

00:31:01Happy?

00:31:09I wondered if you wanted some warm milk before bed, but I'll let you be.

00:31:14You know, your heart's racing.

00:31:41Grandma might pop in at any second. Sleeping separately would blow her cover immediately.

00:31:51Are you sure?

00:31:54Lex, I won't try anything.

00:31:59I won't try anything.

00:32:01Yeah, I was worried about that.

00:32:08Got it?

00:32:09Got it.

00:32:29You like what you feel?

00:32:41I...

00:32:43What are you doing?

00:32:52Don't you want this?

00:32:54I hope.

00:32:56Evelyn.

00:32:58Evelyn.

00:32:59Evelyn.

00:33:00Evelyn.

00:33:01Evelyn, wake up.

00:33:02I gotta go.

00:33:03I'm dead.

00:33:07Dear God.

00:33:08Why would I dream something like that?

00:33:10Sorry.

00:33:11So sorry.

00:33:12I had a nightmare.

00:33:13A horrible one.

00:33:14I was...

00:33:15A nightmare with drool.

00:33:16I gotta go.

00:33:21I'm dead.

00:33:25Dear God, why would I dream something like that?

00:33:29Sorry. So sorry. I had a nightmare. A horrible one. I was...

00:33:33A 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? You nearly suffocated me.

00:33:44I dreamed you were stripping and tempting me.

00:33:47Not exactly conversation material. I was dreaming about an excellent cuisine.

00:33:56So not a nightmare. Unless you thought you were a vampire.

00:34:02I did that? That's really bad.

00:34:05Look, I have work later. How 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? I have a really good concealer.

00:34:12I think that would be uncomfortable.

00:34:14You're impossible.

00:34:16Figure it out yourself.

00:34:17Are you sure about that?

00:34:19Bite me.

00:34:22Sure.

00:34:30Wait, wait, wait. I thought...

00:34:32I thought this was just a...

00:34:34business deal.

00:34:36Come on, don't you want this?

00:34:37I don't...

00:34:39Are you up?

00:34:50Breakfast is ready.

00:34:58What is wrong with me?

00:34:59Where 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.

00:35:21So when did you become so thoughtful?

00:35:24She's my wife.

00:35:26I should take care of her, right?

00:35:28Well, keep telling yourself that.

00:35:30But those heart eyes aren't fooling anyone.

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

00:35:37What the hell?

00:35:52Oh, look at this.

00:35:55Oh, the untouchable new chef knows fear after all.

00:35:59Are you insane?

00:36:00You ruined me!

00:36:02I lost my job because of you.

00:36:05And now I can't get work anywhere.

00:36:08So, it is time for some payback.

00:36:10Don't you think?

00:36:11No, let me go.

00:36:13Please, help!

00:36:14Help!

00:36:15No one is coming for you in this hour.

00:36:17Just shut up.

00:36:21Pay!

00:36:21You got a death wish?

00:36:32No, stop!

00:36:34He'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, let's get inside.

00:36:51It's nothing.

00:36:55I'm fine.

00:36:55No, sit.

00:36:57Down.

00:37:05What?

00:37:07Nothing.

00:37:08You just look stunning right now.

00:37:14I'm so sorry.

00:37:16I'll be gentle.

00:37:19There.

00:37:20I'll die.

00:37:21I'll be gentle.

00:37:30What?

00:37:34Evelyn?

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

00:37:42I want to end our arrangement.

00:37:45What was that then?

00:37:46Rich guy entertainment?

00:37:48Or...

00:37:48Goodbye.

00:37:50Neither.

00:37:51Neither.

00:37:52I can't keep this just as 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?

00:38:08If you are joking right now, I swear I will never forgive you.

00:38:12I don't have a joke about how I feel.

00:38:14I don't have a joke about how I feel.

00:38:16Prove it.

00:38:18Gladly.

00:38:30You should probably get that.

00:38:32It could be an emergency.

00:38:33This had better be life or death or I'm cancelling your Christmas bonus.

00:38:38Code red, boss.

00:38:39You somewhere private?

00:38:45Boss, the woman from the hotel that night is back in the picture.

00:38:49What's she want?

00:38:50She's pregnant.

00:38:53What?

00:38:54Wait, are you sure?

00:38:55100%.

00:38:56Keep this from Evelyn for now.

00:39:07Leo!

00:39:08My schedule's packed.

00:39:10Unless this is urgent, I'll have to ask you to leave.

00:39:12I really tried, sir.

00:39:14Ring any bells?

00:39:27You'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?

00:39:50Take this for your silence, right?

00:39:52And whatever happens next, I want no part of it.

00:39:55And stay out of my life forever.

00:39:57Nick, please.

00:39:59All right, Miss Wood.

00:39:59Out you go.

00:40:00Wait.

00:40:00There you go.

00:40:06Five million dollars?

00:40:07That's humiliating!

00:40:10I regret this, Leo.

00:40:12I am pregnant.

00:40:23From that first night with Leo.

00:40:25Who's going to take this?

00:40:36Leo, hypothetically,

00:40:38if you had a one-night stand with someone

00:40:42and you got her pregnant,

00:40:45how 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.

00:40:57All right, the Carter family can't afford

00:40:58that kind of scandal.

00:40:59But I would make sure

00:41:03they were well taken care of financially.

00:41:08You've gone pale.

00:41:10Is everything okay?

00:41:12Yeah.

00:41:13Yeah, I'm fine.

00:41:14I'm just tired.

00:41:17I'm gonna go to bed.

00:41:19I'm so early.

00:41:20Evelyn, watch out.

00:41:36Oh!

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

00:41:44Tell Evelyn

00:41:44she's cooking for me today.

00:41:47Sure.

00:41:47Chef?

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.

00:42:06You again.

00:42:09Aw.

00:42:10Did you burn yourself?

00:42:12That's not your concern.

00:42:14So 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 a single bite.

00:42:45Refuse me if you want,

00:42:46but I'll just call my reporter friends

00:42:47and I'm sure Leo would hate to see his restaurant

00:42:50in the headlines.

00:42:51Fine.

00:42:58Jesus.

00:42:59Can you even cook?

00:43:00This looks revolting.

00:43:02No.

00:43:07What is your problem?

00:43:09Clean it up

00:43:11and I'll go.

00:43:12What the hell?

00:43:21Evelyn,

00:43:22you 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

00:43:36facts are facts.

00:43:40Stop trying to come between Leo and me

00:43:42with your pathetic lies!

00:43:45This is no lie.

00:43:48Leo gave me this check

00:43:50and promised 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 it is

00:44:03to grow up without a father.

00:44:06Step aside.

00:44:08Will you?

00:44:12I need to think about this.

00:44:17Take your time.

00:44:19I'll be waiting.

00:44:29Oh, 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,

00:44:38something is off with you lately.

00:44:41Seriously,

00:44:42what's going on?

00:44:43Whatever it is,

00:44:43I'm here.

00:44:45I'm,

00:44:45I'm pregnant.

00:44:48You're what?

00:44:50I'm pregnant.

00:44:52Wait,

00:44:52this isn't funny.

00:44:54Who exactly

00:44:55is the baby daddy here?

00:44:56Your ex?

00:44:56What if I told you

00:44:59it was you?

00:45:02Would you believe me?

00:45:04What?

00:45:05But,

00:45:06we never even,

00:45:07how could that be?

00:45:08Do you remember that night,

00:45:09um,

00:45:10you 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,

00:45:25Jennifer 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.

00:45:32Do you even hear yourself right now?

00:45:33Where do you think you're going?

00:45:47I'm getting out of here.

00:45:48Look,

00:45:49stay.

00:45:50Please.

00:45:51If you're gonna keep this baby,

00:45:53I'll step up.

00:45:54I'll be there for both of you.

00:45:56Leo,

00:45:56don'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

00:46:03loved

00:46:04as someone's

00:46:05one and only.

00:46:07Even if that means

00:46:08growing up without a father.

00:46:10A father,

00:46:11huh?

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,

00:46:20this 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, I are.

00:46:31Yes.

00:46:31That's how it is.

00:46:36He's the love of my life.

00:46:39Why?

00:46:39Ma'am,

00:46:58we 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.

00:47:23She's had a heart attack.

00:47:24We need to go now.

00:47:25Come on.

00:47:33Well,

00:47:33you'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,

00:47:51that'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.

00:48:17What's left to discuss?

00:48:19Your baby with Jennifer.

00:48:27Wait till you found out?

00:48:29Listen,

00:48:30I am sorry.

00:48:31I need to sleep.

00:48:36This pregnancy hoax

00:48:38needs to be perfect.

00:48:40Got it?

00:48:41Understood,

00:48:42Miss Jennifer.

00:48:42Evelyn,

00:48:50please take a seat.

00:48:52Let's check a few vitals here.

00:48:55Evelyn,

00:48:56your baby is going to do it just fine.

00:49:01Whatever happens,

00:49:02this baby's got to go.

00:49:04Sit down,

00:49:17please.

00:49:18I thought the doctor said

00:49:19we 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 know?

00:49:29No.

00:49:30Sorry.

00:49:31One little prick

00:49:37and this problem

00:49:38vanishes for good.

00:49:47You?

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?

00:49:57I'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

00:50:01inside of you

00:50:02will be history.

00:50:03Leah will destroy you for this.

00:50:04Don't you dare say his name!

00:50:21Help!

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

00:50:30this time.

00:50:42Jennifer, 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.

00:50:55Call security.

00:50:55This 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.

00:51:03That was a human 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.

00:51:13Come on.

00:51:13You can't do this.

00:51:14My brother will destroy you both!

00:51:16Stop.

00:51:16Hey.

00:51:21What's that?

00:51:22Jennifer deceives me.

00:51:24There was no baby with her.

00:51:25Nothing ever happened between us.

00:51:28That night,

00:51:29it was you all along.

00:51:31Right?

00:51:34So you were pregnant

00:51:35with my baby,

00:51:36aren't you?

00:51:37No.

00:51:38No.

00:51:38I never should have questioned you.

00:51:46You would have been right here with me

00:51:48the entire time.

00:51:50I'm sorry.

00:51:51You had to carry this burden by yourself.

00:51:53But this child,

00:51:55we'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.

00:52:08Okay.

00:52:15Ryan?

00:52:16Leo is parading that cook around

00:52:18as his wife at the banquet.

00:52:20You're seriously okay with this?

00:52:22Jennifer,

00:52:22I 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,

00:52:32Leo was engaged to Monica.

00:52:36Monica?

00:52:36I only joined this family

00:52:38after Monica had vanished,

00:52:39but you never stopped searching.

00:52:42If she comes back

00:52:43and 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.

00:52:52Bring up the whole rack.

00:53:09Sure, sir.

00:53:12Leo.

00:53:12Did 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.

00:53:25You get yourself a pretty new girlfriend.

00:53:27Something Monica's engagement isn't worth remembering.

00:53:30Look.

00:53:31Monica'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,

00:53:41how will she handle you

00:53:43being seen with that woman?

00:53:45Leo?

00:53:47What's going on?

00:53:50You are breathtaking.

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

00:53:55Are we done here?

00:53:56Tell 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.

00:54:26Can 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 a plain Jane nobody like you

00:55:10would 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

00:55:23to keep Leo so captivated.

00:55:26Enjoy your victory lap while it lasts.

00:55:28When my sister Monica returns,

00:55:30you'll be yesterday's news.

00:55:32What are you even talking about?

00:55:33Jennifer, seriously,

00:55:34this 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 say

00:55:45have 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.

00:56:00I'm a word of advice.

00:56:01Don't push your luck.

00:56:05Good.

00:56:06Now that you've taken the money,

00:56:07you'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.

00:56:51She's completely unhinged.

00:56:52Her parents probably saw it coming and ran.

00:56:55Shut your...

00:56:56The audacity.

00:56:59First you snatch my sister's fiance,

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 the psychiatric

00:57:21where 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

00:57:36and clawed my brother.

00:57:38Funny.

00:57:39I just saw two people

00:57:39ganging up on my wife.

00:57:41Leo, what kind of spell

00:57:42has she put on you?

00:57:43This tramp

00:57:44destroyed our family's engagement.

00:57:48You're engaged.

00:57:50If not for that accident,

00:57:52Leo would have been engaged

00:57:53to someone else.

00:57:56Nick?

00:57:57Get her out of here.

00:58:00You're throwing me out

00:58:01because of this tramp?

00:58:03Again?

00:58:03If this is how little

00:58:05you value our family, Leo,

00:58:07then you can consider

00:58:08our partnership terminated.

00:58:10We're done here.

00:58:11Monica.

00:58:11Forget her.

00:58:23She's in the past.

00:58:25What I care about

00:58:25is right now.

00:58:27What about burning bridges

00:58:28with a wood family?

00:58:30Won't that hurt your company?

00:58:32If it does,

00:58:33I'll make you pay

00:58:33by spending a lifetime

00:58:36making it up to me.

00:58:38Okay, look.

00:58:51All our customers left.

00:58:54Yeah, and they're complaining

00:58:55the taste of the food.

00:58:56What is this taste-off nonsense?

00:58:59We haven't changed

00:58:59a single recipe or technique.

00:59:01Shut it, okay?

00:59:02This disaster is on.

00:59:04Yo.

00:59:05Some master apprentice chef.

00:59:06You are.

00:59:07Your food sucks.

00:59:08Okay, and we're going to be

00:59:09out of business within weeks.

00:59:11Are you kidding me?

00:59:12Hey.

00:59:12It's your bottom-feeder customers

00:59:14who don't appreciate

00:59:15real food.

00:59:22Hi.

00:59:23What can I do for you, ma'am?

00:59:25This place is

00:59:26clearly on its lost legs.

00:59:29We're just simply

00:59:31experiencing a momentary...

00:59:33I'm willing to invest

00:59:37in this place.

00:59:39You know what?

00:59:42What incredible insight

00:59:43did you have?

00:59:44This is our head chef.

00:59:47She trained under

00:59:47the legendary chef.

00:59:49You can sell it.

00:59:49Great.

00:59:51Oh, my God.

00:59:53Are those culinary gala passes?

00:59:56It's the event of the year.

00:59:59One appetizer there

01:00:00gets more publicity

01:00:01than most restaurants

01:00:02seen in a lifetime.

01:00:03No, no, no.

01:00:03Mr. Doonerin

01:00:04will be judging.

01:00:06And with one single nut,

01:00:07that means we'll have

01:00:08reservations put down

01:00:09for years.

01:00:10You just...

01:00:14Why would you

01:00:15do 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?

01:00:32The culinary gala's

01:00:34happening this weekend.

01:00:36Would you care to join me

01:00:37as my date?

01:00:38I'll go.

01:00:41But I'll be there

01:00:42as head chef.

01:00:43Not as your arm can do you.

01:00:44Evelyn Taylor.

01:00:59Seriously?

01:01:00What's next?

01:01:01The dishwasher getting

01:01:02Michelin star?

01:01:03You know,

01:01:04this is an A-list event.

01:01:06With every food mogul

01:01:07in attendance,

01:01:08what did you,

01:01:08let me guess,

01:01:09sneak in here

01:01:10for the buffet?

01:01:10Word on the street

01:01:12is your restaurant

01:01:13shutting down.

01:01:14Is that true?

01:01:15How dare you spread

01:01:16such vicious rumors.

01:01:17Can we get security

01:01:18to kick this con artist out?

01:01:20I have an invitation

01:01:21to this event.

01:01:22Who's gonna kick me out?

01:01:23They invited a nobody like you.

01:01:25They lose their minds.

01:01:27Evelyn?

01:01:28You know,

01:01:28we needed Miss Jennifer's

01:01:30help from our invitation.

01:01:32And what makes you think

01:01:33that you're so worthy

01:01:33to be here?

01:01:34Huh?

01:01:34Madeleine.

01:01:37Caleb.

01:01:38Why waste your breath

01:01:39on this nobody?

01:01:41Jennifer!

01:01:42What's your angle this time?

01:01:44Imagine my surprise.

01:01:45Running into such trouble

01:01:47at an event

01:01:47my family sponsors.

01:01:49Miss Jennifer,

01:01:50allow us to take out

01:01:51this trash for you.

01:01:57Hands off now!

01:02:03Jennifer,

01:02:03mess with Evelyn again.

01:02:04Not even your brother

01:02:05can protect you.

01:02:07Mr. Carter,

01:02:08don't believe Evelyn's act.

01:02:09She's nothing but a fraud.

01:02:10Yeah,

01:02:11she dropped Caleb like garbage

01:02:12once she realized

01:02:13you're money.

01:02:15Get her out of here.

01:02:16Hey, hey!

01:02:17How dare you!

01:02:19I'm Chef E's prodigy.

01:02:21I'm a big new thing

01:02:22in the food world.

01:02:23You?

01:02:24Chef E's apprentice?

01:02:25What?

01:02:26Told that lie enough times

01:02:27even you started to believe it?

01:02:28That's bullshit.

01:02:29I trained directly

01:02:31under Chef E.

01:02:32So who's the liar here?

01:02:33Look at Madeline's confidence.

01:02:35She has to be

01:02:36the real apprentice.

01:02:38I can settle this debate

01:02:39with one taste

01:02:41of her cooking.

01:02:42Oh my god,

01:02:43it's Durand!

01:02:44The ultimate authority

01:02:45on Chef E's technique.

01:02:47Ha ha!

01:02:49Well, Miss Evans,

01:02:50care to put your skills

01:02:51to the test?

01:02:53All right.

01:02:54But only if Evelyn competes, too.

01:02:55Loser quits the food industry

01:02:58for good.

01:03:00Even if you lose?

01:03:04Have you lost your mind?

01:03:06There's no way we're losing.

01:03:07When you lose,

01:03:09you'll apologize to me

01:03:10in front of everyone.

01:03:12And whoever I like.

01:03:15Deal.

01:03:16Ready to solve your way

01:03:17out of the food industry.

01:03:18You incompetent idiots!

01:03:24How long does it take

01:03:24to find my sister?

01:03:26Oh, goodness.

01:03:33Wait.

01:03:34Show me the birthmark

01:03:35on the nape of your neck.

01:03:36Back off!

01:03:37Get your hands off of me!

01:03:38Come with me to the hospital!

01:03:39Please!

01:03:40Are you insane?

01:03:41Why would I go anywhere with you?

01:03:43Listen to me.

01:03:44You might actually be...

01:03:44Don't touch me, you freak!

01:03:52One DNA test

01:03:54will tell me everything.

01:03:58Leo?

01:03:59Hand me my chef whites.

01:04:14What are you doing?

01:04:28Is Evelyn actually Chef E?

01:04:41What's in that?

01:04:43Something that...

01:04:43destroys taste buds.

01:04:47You want to play games

01:04:48with me, Evelyn?

01:04:49I'll bury you so deep

01:04:50you'll never climb out.

01:04:52Show us your culinary creations, ladies.

01:04:55Three, two, one, go.

01:04:59No one can find out

01:05:01I'm lying about being

01:05:01Chef E's student.

01:05:03Losing isn't an option.

01:05:04Here you go.

01:05:28And...

01:05:29This dish has quite an unusual appearance, and such flair, and daring, and ingredient

01:05:51pairing.

01:05:52Even Mr. Duran praised Madeline.

01:05:54It's no wonder she's chef-y's student.

01:05:58It's not too late to give up now.

01:06:04What is this?

01:06:05Why are these two the same?

01:06:06Who's the copycat here?

01:06:09Are you sure this is okay?

01:06:12I've seen Evelyn make this exact dish.

01:06:15Try it.

01:06:17Oh my god.

01:06:18Right.

01:06:19No one has ever seen this dish before.

01:06:33Use it to defeat Evelyn.

01:06:34Hmm.

01:06:35Evelyn, how dare you steal my creation?

01:06:40Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

01:06:45Whatever she says, this is my win.

01:06:48Mr. Duran, please, try the dish now.

01:06:51Mr. Duran maintains his notorious high standards.

01:07:02Seven for Mr. Duran proves Madeline is a prodigy.

01:07:06It is identical to my recipe, down to the last detail.

01:07:11But Madeline, care to explain the lemon in your dish?

01:07:16I can't reveal my culinary secrets.

01:07:20I'll explain then.

01:07:21The lemon ruins it.

01:07:23Indeed.

01:07:24Without the acidity from the lemon, this would be superior.

01:07:30How did you know?

01:07:31I created this dish.

01:07:33When I worked at Mitchell and 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.

01:07:45Why would a chef of her pedigree plagiarize?

01:07:50Wait.

01:07:51Wait.

01:07:52Wait.

01:07:54Esteemed guests.

01:07:55I am the owner of Mitchell and Vine.

01:07:58And I swear by on earth, Evelyn did not create this dish.

01:08:06Caleb, you're a real piece of work.

01:08:08I get it.

01:08:09You're still mad 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.

01:08:17I swear, Madeline, her cooking is undeniable.

01:08:19Mr. Duran, be careful for her.

01:08:21Okay.

01:08:22Evelyn, do you have any proof this dish is yours?

01:08:27Nothing concrete.

01:08:29No smoking guns means no case.

01:08:31Moving on.

01:08:32Time to see what Evelyn's cooked up.

01:08:34Mind-blowing.

01:08:35I mean, it sure are similar dishes.

01:08:47But this, this is ingredient in poetry.

01:08:51Absolutely perfection.

01:08:54Mr. Duran gave Evelyn a perfect 10.

01:08:56Who is this Evelyn person anyway?

01:08:59This can be happening.

01:09:00I told you I'd crush this.

01:09:02I hereby declare, the winner of this little culinary contest is-

01:09:08Hold on.

01:09:10Mr. Duran, this contest has been compromised.

01:09:13What do you imply?

01:09:14I believe Evelyn has cheated.

01:09:20How could I have possibly cheated?

01:09:24And no one, Chef, couldn't possibly outdo the sole apprentice of Chef E.

01:09:28Seriously?

01:09:29That's your evidence?

01:09:31Let's be real.

01:09:32Chef E is a culinary god.

01:09:34The only way she could have won is by cheating.

01:09:37Hear that?

01:09:38No one's buying it.

01:09:40We need another round right now.

01:09:43Here's my decision.

01:09:46One final round.

01:09:48Recreating Chef E's signature dish, Destin.

01:09:53No way.

01:09:54The dish that made Chef E famous at the Final Chef Showdown.

01:09:58We're seeing this live.

01:09:59Duran practically used to swoon over that dish back in the day.

01:10:02He is going to scrutinize every bite.

01:10:05Jackpot.

01:10:06I've practiced this recipe till I could make it in my sleep.

01:10:10Will you take up the challenge?

01:10:12Absolutely.

01:10:13Boss?

01:10:14How can you laugh when Miss Taylor is in such a tight spot?

01:10:19This might get interesting.

01:10:22Are you serious about this?

01:10:25What's wrong?

01:10:26This is my mentorist masterpiece we were talking about.

01:10:29But you should do it right there if you're not up for it.

01:10:33What's so funny?

01:10:34Oh, nothing.

01:10:35I'm just laughing at you, digging your hole in the hole.

01:10:38You just had luck earlier.

01:10:39But now I'm going to crush you.

01:10:40Bring it on.

01:10:41Evelyn, you can still back out.

01:10:42There's no shame in that.

01:10:43What, you're not humiliated enough already?

01:10:44What, you need a bigger crowd?

01:10:45Just get out of here.

01:10:46You'll make me sick.

01:10:47Oh, come on.

01:10:48If you're going to be difficult, I'll destroy you once and for all.

01:10:50Once and for all.

01:10:51If you're going to be difficult, I'll destroy you once and for all.

01:10:54If you're going to be difficult, I'll destroy you once and for all.

01:11:24They're now creating Chef E's masterpiece.

01:11:28Destiny.

01:11:34Destiny.

01:11:37You know your heart's racing.

01:11:54You're the one.

01:11:57Tomatoes.

01:11:59And Destiny.

01:12:00Are you just freestyling because you know you're toast?

01:12:03Do you ever shut up?

01:12:04Oh, keep that attitude.

01:12:06But you're about to get schooled in what Destiny truly means.

01:12:16Madeline learned this recipe directly from Chef E.

01:12:19No one can beat her unless Chef E shows up herself.

01:12:33Oh, Leo.

01:12:35Open your eyes.

01:12:36Evelyn's a total loser.

01:12:38She's so beneath you.

01:12:42Sorry.

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.

01:12:50You'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.

01:13:22So, 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.

01:13:36Hmm.

01:13:37As crazy as it sounds, you not only honored Chef Eve's iconic vision, you transcended it.

01:13:45This can't be!

01:13:46This can't be happening!

01:13:47You cheated!

01:13:48Admit it!

01:13:50On the topic of cheating, I think I've got something you'd want to see.

01:13:56On the topic of cheating, I think I've got something you want to see.

01:14:02This can't be happening. You cheat it! Admit it!

01:14:11On the topic of cheating, I think I've got something you'd want to see.

01:14:28How did you even...

01:14:29I saw it coming a mile away. I had her equipment replaced before you could do any damage.

01:14:36This crosses all the lines.

01:14:39Madeline? Caleb?

01:14:41You are banned from the culinary world.

01:14:43PERMANENT!

01:14:45I'm done!

01:14:47It's over. It's over.

01:14:49Can I ask...

01:14:50Does the triumph of your destiny have anything to do with my contribution?

01:14:54Because I think I'm the one chained to the end of this destiny.

01:14:57Oh my god, that's Chef E's mask.

01:15:04Evelyn, don't you think it's time for a proper introduction?

01:15:12Miss me, everyone?

01:15:14No, that's impossible. You can't possibly be Chef E.

01:15:20That is Chef E.

01:15:23I remember that mask figure accepting my award!

01:15:28It's burned into my memory!

01:15:33Stop right there!

01:15:34Are you forgetting about our wager?

01:15:37Evelyn, you could stop now, please.

01:15:39Are you having second thoughts about paying up?

01:15:41Acting all high and mighty earlier, and now you're scurrying like rats.

01:15:45Yeah, pay up losers.

01:15:47Sorry.

01:15:48Sorry.

01:15:49Sorry, what was that?

01:15:50I couldn't hear you.

01:15:51We're sorry!

01:15:53We're sorry!

01:15:54Okay.

01:15:55Yeah, you know, it's just not doing it for me.

01:15:57Wait, what?

01:15:58You know...

01:16:05Put these on.

01:16:06Take a lap.

01:16:10Evelyn...

01:16:11Come on!

01:16:12You don't have to take it this far.

01:16:14A deal'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.

01:16:23You are not going anywhere until Evelyn gets what she wants.

01:16:29We're going to manage your girl and vibes right now.

01:16:32Kind of.

01:16:36Die, bitch!

01:16:37Evelyn!

01:16:38Die, bitch!

01:16:39Evelyn!

01:16:45Die, bitch!

01:16:46Evelyn!

01:16:57Oh my god.

01:16:58Are you bleeding?

01:17:00I'm glad you're okay.

01:17:04Seriously, Jennifer?

01:17:05Going full slasher movie in raw daylight?

01:17:08It was an accident!

01:17:10Brian, please.

01:17:11I swear, everything I did, I did for Monica's sake.

01:17:16You have the nerve to bring up Monica.

01:17:18Evelyn is Monica.

01:17:23You nearly stabbed my own sister.

01:17:25No.

01:17:26That can't be.

01:17:27She can't be her!

01:17:28You are no longer my sister.

01:17:30You're banished from the Wood family.

01:17:32You can't.

01:17:33You can't.

01:17:34Please.

01:17:35You can't do this!

01:17:39Monica.

01:17:40I finally found you.

01:17:41Monica.

01:17:42What are you talking about?

01:17:43The lab doesn't lie.

01:17:44DNA test.

01:17:45You're my sister.

01:17:46Monica Woods.

01:17:47We've been searching for you for so long.

01:17:48Even mom and dad didn't give up until their final wrap.

01:17:49Sorry, it wasn't me.

01:17:50See?

01:17:51You are always treasured.

01:17:52Congrats on the whole family reunion thing.

01:17:53Monica, I'm so happy.

01:17:54This paper entitles you to 50% of Wood Enterprises.

01:17:55Now it's yours.

01:17:56Ryan Wood is handing over half the company to Evelyn just like that?

01:17:57Clearly this sister means for you to big family and personal.

01:17:58But we've been searching for you for so long.

01:18:00Even mom and dad didn't give up until their final wrap.

01:18:01Even mom and dad didn't give up until their final wrap.

01:18:03Even mom and dad didn't give up until their final wrap.

01:18:07See.

01:18:08You were always treasured.

01:18:09Congrats on the whole family reunion thing.

01:18:11Monica.

01:18:12I'm so happy.

01:18:13This paper entitles you to 50% of Wood Enterprises.

01:18:16Now it's yours.

01:18:19Ryan Wood is handing over half the company to Evelyn just like that?

01:18:22Just like that?

01:18:23Clearly the sister means a lot to him.

01:18:26No, I can't.

01:18:29It's rightfully yours.

01:18:30Please take it.

01:18:39Evelyn 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.

01:18:52Yes, 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.

01:19:07I'll see you.

01:19:16I'll see you.

01:19:17Look at that.

01:19:18Look at that.

01:19:22Your deathbed performance that stopped their divorce?

01:19:25Emmy worthy, Miss Carter.

01:19:27Nice teamwork.

01:19:30Well, 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?

01:19:46Oh, it must be the power of joy that healed Grandma.

01:19:52Come on, Grandma.

01:19:53Game's over.

01:19:55We got you right-handed.

01:19:56Grandma, we have bigger news.

01:20:00Well, do tell.

01:20:02Grandma, you're about to become a great-grandma.

01:20:08Oh, my God.

01:20:11Oh, well, 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?

01:20:27You know, um, sorry, why me?

01:20:32You helped Grandma with your act.

01:20:34I think someone needs to pay the price.

01:20:39The universe is against me.

01:20:42What am I going to do?

01:20:45My cats.

01:20:46All six of them.

01:20:50I was going to get them cat new.

01:20:53A new cat tree.

01:20:55Maybe some tuna.

01:20:57Now I can.
