00:00:00Stay calm.

00:00:10Oh my god.

00:00:12God.

00:00:14You should thank me for a taste testing for you.

00:00:16Last night you brought over that pasta.

00:00:18God, it tastes like that three-year-old bra

00:00:20that was just crispy and rigid.

00:00:22Come here.

00:00:24Come here.

00:00:26Come here.

00:00:28What the hell is going on here?

00:00:30Who the fuck is she?

00:00:32Are you blind? She's my girlfriend.

00:00:34So what the hell was I for the past three years?

00:00:36You're just a chef that smells like...

00:00:38You're like...

00:00:40I mean, man eat your food, but hey,

00:00:42dream of my love.

00:00:44I mean, when was the last time

00:00:46Caleb even bothered with me?

00:00:48You shut your mouth, you tramp!

00:00:50Hey! That's enough.

00:00:52Evelyn, I've never liked you,

00:00:54okay? Oh my god!

00:00:56See you in the kitchen crease?

00:00:58Literally just makes me want to throw up right now.

00:01:00Your restaurant would have tanked

00:01:02ages ago without my menu.

00:01:04Yeah, but you're useless now.

00:01:06Cause we are a perfect man.

00:01:10Oh my god, he's still here.

00:01:14Evelyn, you are fired.

00:01:16Just, I never want to see you again.

00:01:18I'm the one firing you too.

00:01:20Oh!

00:01:22Assholes! Oh my!

00:01:24Oh god!

00:01:26You bitch!

00:01:28Assholes!

00:01:30Yes!

00:01:40Every penny I had,

00:01:42I spent on his

00:01:44stupid restaurant.

00:01:46I even kept my chef E-identity secret

00:01:48to spare his fragile ego.

00:01:50And for what?

00:01:52To be treated like garbage?

00:01:54You are not spending

00:01:56another second

00:01:58on that jerk!

00:01:59Get up!

00:02:00Get up!

00:02:01Come on!

00:02:02Turn around.

00:02:04The world is your voice.

00:02:10Stop pouting.

00:02:14It's time to play!

00:02:16I've been searching for you for three years.

00:02:28Where are you?

00:02:46And the winner is...

00:02:48Chef E!

00:02:56Chef E's in the lounge.

00:02:58She actually cured your anorexia!

00:03:00Sophie!

00:03:01Kayla proposed!

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

00:03:06I'll still help him with his restaurant, just quietly.

00:03:16She's just behind this door.

00:03:42I think my drink's been spiked.

00:03:46Oh!

00:03:49Hey!

00:03:50You good?

00:03:51You must be a hero.

00:03:56You must be a hero.

00:04:01You must be a hero.

00:04:03You must be a hero.

00:04:05What's she's written on me?

00:04:07What's she's written on me?

00:04:08She's written on me.

00:04:09I'm a war.

00:04:11Daniel!

00:04:12You must enjoy yourselves in the room I prepared just for us.

00:04:19Thank you so far.

00:04:22Nice!

00:04:23Cheers!

00:04:24Hi!

00:04:25You have two Silver Sparks!

00:04:26Nice Feng.

00:04:27You've pulled since he pulled us off.

00:04:28I'm a young gal and Joe!

00:04:29This room is really bad a lot.

00:04:30Nice!

00:04:31It's so dangerous is so and difficult.

00:04:33You can get to meet Abby's Cell08!

00:04:34You know, let's enjoy yourselves in the room I prepared just for us.

00:04:41Do we really get that wild last night?

00:05:11That asshole!

00:05:24Oh Caleb, today is not your lucky day.

00:05:28Not in hell.

00:05:41Keep the meeting.

00:05:44I'll make it in half an hour.

00:05:49Hey, babe.

00:05:57What the hell did you do to my car?

00:05:59Oh, thank God.

00:06:00He doesn't recognize me.

00:06:02This is, this is your car?

00:06:07Look, I am so sorry.

00:06:10Um, wrong car.

00:06:12Yeah, classic mix-up.

00:06:14I'll pay for the damages.

00:06:15Just let me know how much it is.

00:06:17That'll be 50 grand for a repaint.

00:06:20Cash or check?

00:06:2150 grand?

00:06:22Why don't you just mug me instead?

00:06:24I don't have time for this.

00:06:26The cops can deal with this mess.

00:06:27Sound good?

00:06:28Cops?

00:06:29No, no, don't call the cops.

00:06:30Hello?

00:06:31Don't call the cops.

00:06:32Yeah, I'd like to report property damage.

00:06:33Please don't call the cops.

00:06:34Please don't call the cops.

00:06:35Please don't call the cops.

00:06:36Please don't call the cops.

00:06:37Hey!

00:06:38What the hell are you doing?

00:06:39Go ahead.

00:06:40Call the cops.

00:06:41I'd love for them to see this.

00:06:42Oh, was that a threat?

00:06:43No, no, no, no.

00:06:44I'm just...

00:06:45negotiating.

00:06:46I'm in a hurry.

00:06:49Take this off me, and I'll let you go.

00:06:51And I don't have to pay?

00:06:53Before I change my mind.

00:06:54Okay, okay, okay.

00:06:57I might not have the key.

00:07:02Seriously?

00:07:03We're not going to take these off first?

00:07:04No time.

00:07:05Just follow my lead, and do not act weird.

00:07:07Ah, Mr. Carter.

00:07:08We are thrilled at the thought of you buying us out, huh?

00:07:12And, um, who might this be?

00:07:14This is my personal assistant.

00:07:15Oh.

00:07:16Hi.

00:07:17Hi.

00:07:18Hi.

00:07:19Hi.

00:07:20We're doing a little corporate bonding thing.

00:07:22Okay.

00:07:23Bonding, huh?

00:07:24Bonding, huh?

00:07:25Bonding, huh?

00:07:26Wow.

00:07:27Bonding, huh?

00:07:28Wow.

00:07:29Ah.

00:07:30Yeah.

00:07:32Ha!

00:07:33Ha!

00:07:34Ha!

00:07:35Ha!

00:07:36Ha!

00:07:37Ha!

00:07:38Ha!

00:07:39Ha!

00:07:40We're doing a little corporate bonding thing.

00:07:41Okay.

00:07:42Ha!

00:07:43Bonding, huh?

00:07:44Ha!

00:07:45Ha!

00:07:46Ha!

00:07:47Bonding, huh?

00:07:48Wow.

00:07:49That is, uh, that's quite the progressive bonding exercise, isn't it?

00:08:11Mr. Carter, I paid top dollar for Chef E's exclusive recipe.

00:08:22I think that would be worth an extra ten points on the offer, wouldn't it?

00:08:26Chef E?

00:08:27That's right. Carter's been chasing Chef E forever. This sale is locked.

00:08:33It's not Chef E's recipe.

00:08:35What?

00:08:36I'm sorry, Mr. Carter, they're pulling a fast one on you.

00:08:38Well, this is the exact recipe Chef E made at the Culinary Championship. It's identical.

00:08:55Yeah, Chef E would never use truffle oil in this dish. It kills the fish's natural umami.

00:09:01And FYI, Chef E doesn't write anything down. All the recipes live in her head.

00:09:05If they're only in her head, how would you know?

00:09:15So what's the deal with you and Chef E?

00:09:17I am Chef E, dummy. Just a fan.

00:09:21God, lucky enough to chat about recipes with her once.

00:09:24Boss!

00:09:24It's just a lock. Why the entire circus?

00:09:35Well, I heard you're in handcuffs, so I brought a lawyer.

00:09:39And a boxman.

00:09:41And his mentor.

00:09:42Just in case.

00:09:43What about that guy?

00:09:46Oh, uh, I'm just, uh, here for the spectacle.

00:09:49Don't mind me.

00:10:02I will take a dose.

00:10:05Okay.

00:10:07You know, I saved you money back there.

00:10:09That'll be my compensation.

00:10:11Fine.

00:10:12Later.

00:10:17Boss, who's she?

00:10:19Oh.

00:10:27Here's, guys.

00:10:28Oh, here's.

00:10:30Cheers.

00:10:31Oh, God.

00:10:33Evelyn, I've already fired you.

00:10:35What are you doing here?

00:10:36Everything that worked about this restaurant was my creation.

00:10:39I'm taking my 50% share.

00:10:43Cheers.

00:10:45Oh.

00:10:46As if you're worthy.

00:10:47You only became head chef thanks to Caleb.

00:10:51You were nothing.

00:10:52I kept my chef-y identity secret to protect your fragile ego, which clearly was wasted on you.

00:10:59You're chef-y.

00:11:01Okay, so you're pretending to be chef-y when the real product sheet, Madeline, is right here.

00:11:11That's seriously hilarious.

00:11:13Oh, my God.

00:11:13You're funny.

00:11:15Funny.

00:11:15How does Evelyn, Kayla, breaks up with you and you go into a full psychotic break?

00:11:20I mean, behold this face, people.

00:11:23Scarce kids would burn them into sterility.

00:11:25I mean, who would get excited about this package?

00:11:28You should beat it now, because it's my garbage can.

00:11:29I'm waiting to take trash like you.

00:11:31So...

00:11:31Okay, now about this.

00:11:34Let's not let this psycho spoil our day.

00:11:37Madeline, darling.

00:11:38Mm-hmm.

00:11:39Will you marry me?

00:11:42Oh, my God.

00:11:45I wasn't expecting this.

00:11:47Yeah, I do.

00:11:58See, Evelyn?

00:12:01Caleb clearly loves me, so he can stop obsessing over him.

00:12:05What?

00:12:06Congratulations.

00:12:07You snagged an absolute gem.

00:12:09You know, my new guy is hotter, richer, and way more impressive.

00:12:14That's where it counts.

00:12:15What the...

00:12:16What are you implying?

00:12:18Evelyn, did you really invent a boyfriend to make yourself feel better?

00:12:21Right?

00:12:22I mean, if he's real...

00:12:23Where is it?

00:12:24Show us.

00:12:25Oh, my God.

00:12:27Fantastic.

00:12:28Where do I magically whip up a boyfriend?

00:12:30From my rib?

00:12:31This is sad.

00:12:33Caleb rejects her, so she comes up with this pathetic story.

00:12:37Aw.

00:12:37You know what, Evelyn, just go with me.

00:12:41I mean, at this point, you're just humiliating yourself.

00:12:43I mean, I'm sorry for you.

00:12:44You know what?

00:12:44Why don't you use that cash for some, um, therapy?

00:12:48He's right there.

00:12:53No.

00:12:54No.

00:12:55No.

00:12:56No.

00:12:57Mr. Carter, what's Carter Group's strategy this year?

00:12:59We are acquiring 10 premium restaurants for style.

00:13:01Bombshell.

00:13:05Carter Group's CEO has a public kiss with an unknown woman?

00:13:24That's literally the most powerful man in the city.

00:13:27There's zero chance he's dating Evelyn.

00:13:33You better have a good reason for this.

00:13:35I'm so sorry.

00:13:36Please just help me out.

00:13:37Mr. Carter, what's your relationship with this woman?

00:13:45She's my fiancee.

00:13:46Um, come here, man, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here.

00:13:54It's as nice as you're doing.

00:13:57Any other questions?

00:14:01Okay, but you could have said girlfriend.

00:14:03I mean, why go full fiancee?

00:14:05Girlfriend.

00:14:06A new CEO caught in a public scandal.

00:14:07What do you think that does to my company's value?

00:14:11Well, people love a young couple in love.

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

00:14:15Your people, maybe.

00:14:17Mine, not so forgiving.

00:14:19I mean, that could wipe out $300 million in market value.

00:14:22Can you cover that?

00:14:23What?

00:14:24Exactly.

00:14:25Calling you my fiancee is the only way to make this little kiss look like a PR move instead

00:14:30of chaos.

00:14:31Okay, so what do we do?

00:14:32Tell them all the truth?

00:14:34Sure.

00:14:35Now, we can clear it all up.

00:14:37If you're ready to write a $300 million check.

00:14:41There's gotta be another option.

00:14:42There is.

00:14:46Which is?

00:14:48Marry me.

00:14:58Contract marriage.

00:14:59Divorce after one year.

00:15:01Your bedroom is down the hall.

00:15:02On the left.

00:15:03Fine.

00:15:04You corporate vulture.

00:15:06Being my wife comes with specific duties.

00:15:09And what are these duties?

00:15:11All of this is for me?

00:15:27Naturally.

00:15:29Consider it an investment in making sure you look the part of my wife.

00:15:35For your everyday spending.

00:15:37No limit on this card.

00:15:40No, I can't accept that.

00:15:42This is a business deal.

00:15:43Between equals.

00:15:46Consider it a wedding gift.

00:15:50Fine.

00:15:50I can't accept that.

00:15:51I can't accept that.

00:15:52I can't accept that.

00:15:53I can't accept that.

00:15:54I can't accept that.

00:15:55I can't accept that.

00:15:56I can't accept that.

00:15:57I can't accept that.

00:15:58I can't accept that.

00:15:59I can't accept that.

00:16:00I can't accept that.

00:16:01I can't accept that.

00:16:02I can't accept that.

00:16:03I can't accept that.

00:16:04I can't accept that.

00:16:05I can't accept that.

00:16:06I can't accept that.

00:16:07I can't accept that.

00:16:08I can't accept that.

00:16:09I can't accept that.

00:16:10I can't accept that.

00:16:11I can't accept that.

00:16:12I can't accept that.

00:16:13I can't accept that.

00:16:14I can't accept that.

00:16:15I can't accept that.

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

00:16:33You're in the wrong room.

00:16:38I'm sorry. So sorry. Oh my god, I will leave. Right now.

00:16:46Geez, what is with the attitude?

00:16:53There's nothing I haven't seen before.

00:16:57What did you just say?

00:16:59Nothing. Nothing. Just sleep talking. Sweet dreams.

00:17:16I had too many mishaps last night. But what better apology from a culinary genius than a guest.

00:17:31Hey, I made you breakfast.

00:17:33No thanks.

00:17:34What? You didn't even take a single bite. That's disrespectful to the food and the chef.

00:17:39This isn't about respect. I've struggled with severe anorexia, which is why I have someone who handles my breakfast.

00:17:46Anorexia?

00:17:47Oh, is that so hard to believe?

00:17:50I'm so sorry. I just had no idea.

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

00:17:59I guess everyone has their struggles, huh?

00:18:01Yeah. Even someone together like me has their problems. Now if you-

00:18:05Bitches.

00:18:06If you don't move, I will be late.

00:18:08Please just take one bite. Just one bite and then I'll let you go. I promise.

00:18:14Please.

00:18:15See, that's not-

00:18:32Well, what do you think?

00:18:35Not bad.

00:18:46Didn't you say you were ever running late?

00:18:48I can make time for breakfast.

00:18:50Well then.

00:18:52Bon appetit.

00:18:54Where are you going?

00:18:55Didn't you say you're going to join me for breakfast?

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

00:19:00Can't be late.

00:19:01But...

00:19:03Here's the address.

00:19:05Come by sometime.

00:19:09Wait, isn't this the restaurant I just acquired?

00:19:15This can't be happening.

00:19:16Leo married somebody?

00:19:24The bitch from that night.

00:19:26I'm going to see Leo right now.

00:19:34So, I have the hottest gossip.

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

00:19:39No way.

00:19:40I wonder what she looks like.

00:19:41The news clip only showing her profiles is totally unclear.

00:19:43Right?

00:19:44What kind of dumb ass comment is that?

00:19:46The boss's wife is gorgeous.

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

00:19:49Just be on your toes and you treat her like royalty.

00:20:01No need for the formality.

00:20:02I'm just the head chef.

00:20:04What are you doing in the dining room?

00:20:06You are breaking company protocol.

00:20:10Get to work ASAP.

00:20:12Boom!

00:20:14I'm looking for Leo.

00:20:27This must be her.

00:20:29Welcome, Mrs. Carter.

00:20:33They think I'm Leo's wife.

00:20:34Don't make a fuss.

00:20:35Just call me Jennifer.

00:20:36Jennifer.

00:20:37Absolutely, of course.

00:20:38Was that the new head chef who just walked by?

00:20:39Indeed.

00:20:40Funny how life works out that way, isn't it?

00:20:41You're both similar in age, yet worlds apart in status.

00:20:42Well, you're the boss's new wife and she's stuck in the kitchen cooking.

00:20:47Oh, no comparison whatsoever.

00:20:48Jennifer.

00:20:49Right?

00:20:50Mr. Carter isn't in today, but we'll ensure top-notch service.

00:20:52Absolutely.

00:20:53You and the boss are totally made for each other.

00:20:54Of course.

00:20:55I'm the only woman suitable to be Mrs. Carter.

00:20:56Of course.

00:20:57I'm the only woman suitable to be Mrs. Carter.

00:21:09I'm so happy that Leo finally settled down.

00:21:10Do you think his wife will appreciate these gifts?

00:21:12Perhaps two more villas too.

00:21:13Mr. Carter?

00:21:14I'm the only woman suitable to be Mrs. Carter.

00:21:15I'm so happy that Leo finally settled down.

00:21:17Do you think his wife will appreciate these gifts?

00:21:20Perhaps two more villas too.

00:21:23Mr. Carter, I'm so happy that Leo finally settled down.

00:21:28Do you think his wife will appreciate these gifts?

00:21:37Perhaps two more villas too.

00:21:41Mr. Carter never mentioned Evelyn.

00:21:44What if she is simply after his money?

00:21:49You're right.

00:21:50Perhaps I should get to know her personally.

00:22:03Oh my goodness!

00:22:04Are you okay?

00:22:08I haven't eaten.

00:22:09May I have some soup?

00:22:10Yeah, of course.

00:22:11Yeah, come with me.

00:22:17Order anything you'd like.

00:22:18It's on me.

00:22:20You're so kind.

00:22:21All happy.

00:22:23What do you think you're doing?

00:22:25This is a fine dining restaurant.

00:22:27You can't bring in homeless people.

00:22:29Get her out now.

00:22:30You can't do this.

00:22:31She needs our help.

00:22:32That's her problem.

00:22:33This is a restaurant, not a charity.

00:22:35What kind of standard is this for treating guests?

00:22:38Every human being deserves the right to a proper meal.

00:22:41Oh, please.

00:22:42Save your bleeding heart.

00:22:44Look at the new chef.

00:22:45Thinking she owns the place?

00:22:47Bringing in street people?

00:22:49Our clientele are people of good standing.

00:22:52Having this vagabond around will just hurt our reputation.

00:22:55Did you hear that?

00:22:56Hurry up and make her leave.

00:22:58Her word is law around here.

00:23:00Hold on.

00:23:01Who's the boss's wife here?

00:23:03Uh, excuse me?

00:23:04Has age ruined your eyes and ears?

00:23:06This is our boss's wife, Mrs. Carter.

00:23:09Oh, Jennifer.

00:23:11Why are they referring to her as the boss's wife?

00:23:15I thought Evelyn held that title.

00:23:21Okay, just because you're the boss's wife,

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

00:23:25We're all equals here.

00:23:29Equality.

00:23:30As the boss's wife, I am superior to your grubby chef

00:23:36and your dirty street trash.

00:23:38Oh, did you hear that, Evelyn?

00:23:40Or do you want to join this piece of trash out on the street?

00:23:43So these are the employees at my grandson's restaurant?

00:23:46Their behavior is disgraceful.

00:23:51What?

00:23:52Grandma's at the restaurant.

00:23:54Yes.

00:23:55Mrs. Carter somehow discovered Miss Taylor's new position as head chef

00:23:58and, well, she wanted to see for herself.

00:24:01Evelyn, please don't slip up in front of my grandmother.

00:24:06This woman just wants some food.

00:24:08She won't disturb anyone.

00:24:09Her mere presence spreads the stench of poverty.

00:24:12Who would like to dine with her around?

00:24:15Remove this beggar at once or consider yourself terminated.

00:24:19Barbage chef and homeless trash.

00:24:21You two deserve each other.

00:24:23Okay, this is outrageous.

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

00:24:26I'll make sure headquarters knows exactly what happened here.

00:24:29Report us?

00:24:31You insignificant nothing.

00:24:33You're fired.

00:24:36You're the one that needs to be fired.

00:24:42Fire me?

00:24:44It's rich coming from someone who looks like they sleep in a cardboard box.

00:24:47Maybe she bummed her head and thought she was the CEO's granny.

00:24:52Oh, poor thing.

00:24:54You seriously don't know who Jennifer is to the owner?

00:24:58And you're trying to fire her?

00:24:59That's comedy gold.

00:25:00Her wiring is clearly fried.

00:25:02Broke and insane.

00:25:03Now that's hilarious.

00:25:04That's enough.

00:25:06I'm taking you somewhere decent.

00:25:07Awesome.

00:25:08Hit the streets together.

00:25:09Maybe you'll gather up enough change for a hot dog.

00:25:12Yum yum yum.

00:25:13They should all leave.

00:25:15You stubborn.

00:25:17Hag!

00:25:18Get them out of here.

00:25:19Now!

00:25:22Ah!

00:25:23Dare you touch me?

00:25:24The audacity!

00:25:25You lunatic!

00:25:26You just assaulted him!

00:25:28Forget leaving.

00:25:29We're going straight to prison.

00:25:30Oh, don't twist this.

00:25:31You attacked us first.

00:25:32Precisely.

00:25:33You people are a complete embarrassment to this company.

00:25:42You needed a reality check.

00:25:44What the hell you psycho bitch!

00:25:48Stop!

00:25:49Leo, this psycho grandma is terrorizing your restaurant.

00:26:03Call the police now.

00:26:04Yes, that's right.

00:26:05Street trash has no place in this restaurant.

00:26:08Does everyone here feel the same way?

00:26:10Oh, Mr. Carter, don't you worry.

00:26:11I'll remove these people at once.

00:26:13Shut up!

00:26:14There will be zero discrimination in any Carter establishment.

00:26:18You are done here.

00:26:20Evelyn is in charge from now on.

00:26:23Hold on.

00:26:24Leo owns this place?

00:26:25Mr. Carter, I was just following Mrs. Carter's words.

00:26:28You know, I replied.

00:26:31She's my wife.

00:26:33Wow, that is news to me.

00:26:35Get this straight, everyone.

00:26:38Evelyn is my wife.

00:26:41She, she, she, she's your wife?

00:26:44Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:26:46Hold up.

00:26:47You lied to us?

00:26:49I didn't say anything.

00:26:50You jumped to conclusions.

00:26:51Yeah, but you never denied it.

00:26:52Not even once.

00:26:53We are so bad.

00:26:54We just insulted the real Mrs. Carter.

00:26:57Everyone apologize to her.

00:26:59Now.

00:27:00We are so sorry.

00:27:01So sorry.

00:27:04Leo, you want me to apologize to street trash?

00:27:07That's humiliating.

00:27:08Throw her out.

00:27:09You are banned from this restaurant.

00:27:11Come on.

00:27:12Leo.

00:27:13You can't do this to me.

00:27:15Come on.

00:27:16Let's go.

00:27:21Grandma, are you okay?

00:27:24Grandma?

00:27:31I'm sorry.

00:27:32I didn't realize you were Leo's grandmother.

00:27:35Evelyn, you really are a lovely young woman.

00:27:39And you suit Leo well.

00:27:42I'm going to have Nick drive me home.

00:27:44Then I'm going to grab a few things and I'm going to stay at your place for a bit.

00:27:49Grandma, that's not, uh, that's not necessary.

00:27:54We're screwed.

00:27:55She's totally going to find out about our fake marriage.

00:27:57Get it together, Evelyn.

00:27:59We need to get home and get ready now.

00:28:01Bye.

00:28:09Ma'am, you should probably keep your seatbelt on.

00:28:11Are those two just playing house for my sake?

00:28:14Uh, Miss Carter, what would give you that idea?

00:28:17Their interactions seem rehearsed.

00:28:21Impossible.

00:28:22I mean, these two are head over heels for each other.

00:28:24Is that so?

00:28:26Absolutely.

00:28:27100%.

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

00:28:30I mean, I have a front row seat.

00:28:32Well, I really like Evelyn.

00:28:35I really think that she's what Leo needs to find real happiness.

00:28:40Boss, for the love of God, don't you and Miss Taylor screw this up.

00:28:49Hurry!

00:28:50Your grandma's almost here.

00:28:51She's not going to barge in my bedroom.

00:28:53Oh my God, could you please put something on?

00:29:05Great.

00:29:06Now it looks like a real couple's bedroom.

00:29:07You know, after a tornado.

00:29:09No, I'm so sorry.

00:29:10You alright.

00:29:11And then, do you have a lot of room?

00:29:12Yes, it is.

00:29:13No, so sorry.

00:29:14Up to the door.

00:29:15Okay, so we have a lot of room.

00:29:16So, how did you two find each other?

00:29:17We met at a bar.

00:29:18You know what I mean?

00:29:19Yeah.

00:29:20That's all.

00:29:21You know, not too.

00:29:22I don't know.

00:29:23I'm pretty sure.

00:29:24I'm pretty sure.

00:29:25I'm pretty sure.

00:29:26So how did you two find each other?

00:29:30We met at a bar.

00:29:34One of those bar-restaurant combos, you know?

00:29:39Oh, yes.

00:29:40And, um, how long have you been together?

00:29:44Three months?

00:29:45Half a year.

00:29:50Your answers?

00:29:54What we mean is, we met six months ago, but we became a couple three months ago.

00:30:03Actually, I've had a crush on her for a very long time.

00:30:14Evelyn fell asleep in my guest room, so I thought I'd return her to you.

00:30:22What's going on?

00:30:29New order.

00:30:31I fell asleep in the wrong bedroom.

00:30:33You make a habit of ending up in the wrong room, don't you?

00:30:35I know, I know.

00:30:38My fault.

00:30:40Sleep on the floor.

00:30:42Happy?

00:30:44I wondered if you wanted some warm milk before bed, but I'll let you be.

00:30:57Don't move.

00:31:10Almost.

00:31:16You know your heart's racing.

00:31:25Grandma might pop in at any second.

00:31:27Sleeping separately would blow her cover immediately.

00:31:29Are you sure?

00:31:37Relax, I won't try anything.

00:31:39Yeah, look, I was worried about that.

00:31:43Got it?

00:31:56Got it?

00:31:58Got it.

00:32:02You like what you feel?

00:32:21I...

00:32:24What are you doing?

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

00:32:34I hope.

00:32:40Evelyn.

00:32:49Evelyn.

00:32:51Evelyn, wake up.

00:32:55I gotta go.

00:33:01I'm dead.

00:33:06Dear God.

00:33:07Why would I dream something like that?

00:33:09Sorry.

00:33:10So sorry.

00:33:11I had a nightmare.

00:33:12A horrible one.

00:33:13I was...

00:33:13A nightmare with drool.

00:33:16Stop messing with me.

00:33:18Let's call it even for the slap.

00:33:21What were you dreaming about exactly?

00:33:22You nearly suffocated me.

00:33:24I dreamed you were stripping and tempting me.

00:33:27Not exactly conversation material.

00:33:29I was dreaming about an excellent cuisine.

00:33:36So not a nightmare.

00:33:38Unless you thought you were a vampire.

00:33:42I did that?

00:33:43That's...

00:33:44That's really bad.

00:33:45Look, I have work later.

00:33:46How am I supposed to show up like this?

00:33:48I could give you a scarf.

00:33:49I don't wear scarves.

00:33:50What about some makeup?

00:33:51I have a really good concealer.

00:33:52I think that would be uncomfortable.

00:33:55You're impossible.

00:33:56Figure it out yourself.

00:33:57Are you sure about that?

00:33:58Bite me.

00:34:02Sure.

00:34:11Wait, wait, wait.

00:34:11I thought...

00:34:12I thought this was just a...

00:34:14business deal.

00:34:16Come on, don't you want this?

00:34:17I don't...

00:34:18What is wrong with me?

00:34:38What is wrong with me?

00:34:46Where are you going at this hour?

00:34:56Uh, Evelyn's still not home and it's getting late.

00:34:59I'm just going to pick her up.

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

00:35:04She's my wife.

00:35:06I should take care of her, right?

00:35:07Well, keep telling yourself that.

00:35:10But those heart eyes aren't fooling anyone.

00:35:13Am I actually in love with her?

00:35:25What the hell?

00:35:32Oh, look at this.

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

00:35:38Are you insane?

00:35:40You ruined me!

00:35:42I lost my job because of you.

00:35:45And now I can't get work anywhere.

00:35:48So, it is time for some payback.

00:35:50Don't you think?

00:35:51No, let me go.

00:35:52Please, help!

00:35:54Help!

00:35:55No one is coming for you in this hour.

00:35:56Just shut up.

00:35:57You got a death wish?

00:36:12No, stop!

00:36:14He's not worth it.

00:36:19You have your hand.

00:36:20Don't get anywhere near Evelyn again.

00:36:23I'll make sure you vanish for good.

00:36:24Come on, let's get inside.

00:36:34It's nothing.

00:36:35I'm fine.

00:36:35No, sit down.

00:36:45What?

00:36:47Nothing.

00:36:48You just look stunning right now.

00:36:54I'm so sorry.

00:36:55I'll be gentle.

00:36:59Okay.

00:36:59I'll die.

00:37:10What?

00:37:14Evelyn.

00:37:18I want to end our arrangement.

00:37:19I want to end our arrangement.

00:37:25What was that then?

00:37:26Rich guy entertainment?

00:37:28Or...

00:37:30Goodbye.

00:37:31Neither.

00:37:32I can't keep this justice business anymore.

00:37:35I want more than a deal.

00:37:38I want you.

00:37:40He'd give us a real shot.

00:37:42A fresh start.

00:37:44What do you say?

00:37:45If you are joking right now, I swear I will never forgive you.

00:37:52I don't joke about how I feel.

00:37:56Prove it.

00:37:57Probably.

00:37:58You should probably get that.

00:38:12It could be an emergency.

00:38:15This had better be life or death or I'm cancelling your Christmas bonus.

00:38:18Code red, boss.

00:38:19You somewhere private?

00:38:20What?

00:38:25Boss, the woman from the hotel that night is back in the picture.

00:38:29What's she want?

00:38:30She's pregnant.

00:38:33What?

00:38:34Wait, are you sure?

00:38:35100%.

00:38:39Keep this from Evelyn for now.

00:38:47Leo!

00:38:48My schedule's packed.

00:38:49Unless this is urgent, I'll have to ask you to leave.

00:38:52I really tried, sir.

00:39:00Ring any bells?

00:39:07You're saying you were the person that night?

00:39:09That's right.

00:39:11What do you want?

00:39:12Marry me, Leo.

00:39:13Absolutely not.

00:39:15How can you say that?

00:39:16I'm pregnant with your child.

00:39:21Look, you drugged me to trap me.

00:39:22What makes you think I can tolerate such manipulation?

00:39:25They wanted us to be together.

00:39:27Is that such a crime?

00:39:30Take this for your silence, right?

00:39:32And whatever happens next, I want a part of it.

00:39:35And stay out of my life forever.

00:39:37Nick, please.

00:39:39All right, Miss Whit, out you go.

00:39:40Wait.

00:39:40There you go.

00:39:46Five million dollars?

00:39:47That's humiliating!

00:39:51I regret this, Leo.

00:39:52I am pregnant.

00:40:03From that first night with Leo.

00:40:05How's he going to take this?

00:40:06Leo, hypothetically, if you had a one night stand with someone and you got her pregnant, how would you handle that?

00:40:26Has Evelyn found out about Jennifer?

00:40:30What's wrong?

00:40:31Nothing.

00:40:32I'm just asking.

00:40:34If that happened, I wouldn't choose to be involved.

00:40:37All right, the Carter family can't afford that kind of scandal.

00:40:39But I would make sure they were well taken care of financially.

00:40:48You've gone pale.

00:40:50Is everything okay?

00:40:52Yeah.

00:40:53Yeah, I'm fine.

00:40:54I'm just tired.

00:40:56I'm gonna go to bed.

00:40:59So early?

00:41:09What can I get for you today, ma'am?

00:41:24Tell Evelyn she's cooking for me today.

00:41:27Sure.

00:41:32Chef, a guest is requesting that you prepare her meal yourself.

00:41:36Tell her that the chef burned her hand and she's off the line today.

00:41:39No, it's okay.

00:41:41I can do it.

00:41:46You again.

00:41:50Did you burn yourself?

00:41:52That's not your concern.

00:42:01So sorry.

00:42:04Guess you'll have to make me a new one.

00:42:07Service denied.

00:42:08Wow.

00:42:09Is this how you treat your customers?

00:42:11By abusing them?

00:42:21The taste is off.

00:42:22You didn't even try a single bite.

00:42:24Refuse me if you want.

00:42:26But I'll just call my reporter friends and I'm sure Leo would hate to see his restaurant in the headlines.

00:42:31I don't know.

00:42:32I don't know.

00:42:37Jesus.

00:42:38Can you even cook?

00:42:40This looks revolting.

00:42:47What is your problem?

00:42:50Clean it up and I'll go.

00:42:52What the hell?

00:43:01Evelyn, you owe me this.

00:43:03What's that supposed to mean?

00:43:05You don't know?

00:43:08I'm pregnant with Leo's baby.

00:43:13Excuse me?

00:43:14This is difficult to hear but facts are facts.

00:43:20Stop trying to come between Leo and me with your pathetic lies.

00:43:23This is no lie.

00:43:28Leo gave me this check and promised to take responsibility and make me his wife.

00:43:36You may hate me but this child is innocent.

00:43:40As an orphan yourself, you should know how miserable it is to grow up without a father.

00:43:44Step aside, will you?

00:43:52I need to think about this.

00:43:57Take your time.

00:43:59I'll be waiting.

00:44:09Oh, easy there.

00:44:10What happened to your aunt?

00:44:14Oh, I just, I burned it a little.

00:44:16No big deal.

00:44:17Evelyn, something's off with you lately.

00:44:21Seriously, what's going on?

00:44:23Whatever it is, I'm here.

00:44:25I'm, I'm pregnant.

00:44:28You're what?

00:44:31I'm pregnant?

00:44:32Wait, this isn't funny.

00:44:34Who exactly is the baby daddy here?

00:44:36Your ex?

00:44:36What if I told you it was you?

00:44:42Would you believe me?

00:44:45But we never even, how could that be?

00:44:48Do you remember that night, um, you got pretty wasted?

00:44:51There's that woman at the bar.

00:44:54Has Jennifer been talking to you?

00:44:56Ignore her.

00:44:57I'll take care of it.

00:44:58So it was true.

00:44:59He had another night with her.

00:45:00I thought Jennifer was lying.

00:45:02How stupid I was.

00:45:03No, Jennifer didn't approach me.

00:45:07And this baby, honestly, I actually don't know who the father is.

00:45:12Do you even hear yourself right now?

00:45:13Where do you think you're going?

00:45:27I'm getting out of here.

00:45:28Look, stay.

00:45:30Please.

00:45:31If you're going to keep this baby, I'll step up.

00:45:34I'll be there for both of you.

00:45:36Leo, don't do this.

00:45:37This baby deserves better than this.

00:45:39Why do you insist on leaving?

00:45:41This child deserves to be loved as someone's one and only.

00:45:47Even if that means growing up without a father.

00:45:50A father, huh?

00:45:52Who is it?

00:45:53Caleb?

00:45:54Or is there somebody else you haven't told me about?

00:45:55No matter who this father is, you and I are done here.

00:45:59Leo, this was a business deal and it has expired.

00:46:05Sign the divorce papers.

00:46:07You have a child's father that much?

00:46:08Oh my heart, yes.

00:46:13That's how it is?

00:46:16He's the love of my life.

00:46:19Why?

00:46:19I'm coming home right now.

00:46:37Ma'am, we have a major crisis.

00:46:40Evelyn and Leo are filing for divorce.

00:46:41What?

00:46:42I'm coming home right now.

00:46:48Oh boss, please don't fire me.

00:46:55So long, Leo.

00:46:59Miss Evelyn!

00:47:01Madam's been rushed to the hospital.

00:47:03She's had a heart attack.

00:47:04We need to go now.

00:47:05Come on.

00:47:11I'm coming home right now.

00:47:13Well, you're all here.

00:47:16Have you been keeping something from me lately?

00:47:27No.

00:47:27Don't let your imagination run wild.

00:47:30Well, that's one worry off my chest.

00:47:32There's nothing I'd like more than to see you two together.

00:47:50We need to talk.

00:47:58What's left to discuss?

00:48:01Your baby with Jennifer.

00:48:07Wait, so you found out?

00:48:10Listen, I am sorry.

00:48:11I need to sleep.

00:48:11This pregnancy hoax needs to be perfect.

00:48:20Got it?

00:48:21Understood, Miss Jennifer.

00:48:29Evelyn, please take a seat.

00:48:32Let's check a few vitals here.

00:48:35Evelyn, your baby is going to do just fine.

00:48:37Whatever happens, this baby's got to go.

00:48:57Sit down, please.

00:48:58I thought the doctor said we were finished.

00:49:00The doctor made a last-minute decision to give you a vitamin shot.

00:49:02It's good for the baby.

00:49:04The doctor didn't say anything about an injection.

00:49:06Do you know better than medical professionals now?

00:49:09No.

00:49:10Sorry.

00:49:15One little prick and this problem vanishes for good.

00:49:27You?

00:49:29Didn't I make myself clear?

00:49:31Stay away from Leah.

00:49:32You're completely psychotic.

00:49:34They'll lock you up for this.

00:49:35Jail?

00:49:37I'm not trying to kill you here.

00:49:38Just a little nap.

00:49:39And when you wake up that unwanted spawn inside of me, there will be history.

00:49:43Leo will destroy you for this.

00:49:44Don't you dare say his name!

00:49:49Help!

00:50:01Help!

00:50:01Stop!

00:50:02Help!

00:50:03Help!

00:50:04Anybody!

00:50:05Help!

00:50:06Stop fighting it.

00:50:08You have zero chances this time.

00:50:22Jennifer, you've got a death wish!

00:50:23Are you aware of what you're doing right now?

00:50:28Are you aware of what you're doing right now?

00:50:29Leo, every single thing I've done has been for our future.

00:50:33That's what left us to you.

00:50:35Call security.

00:50:35This one's getting a police escort.

00:50:37Leo, how can you be so heartless?

00:50:38I'm carrying your child!

00:50:40Oh yeah?

00:50:41Jennifer, the lying has to stop sometime.

00:50:43That night, there was a you in my room.

00:50:46Freaking way!

00:50:47How did you find out?

00:50:48Game over, Jennifer.

00:50:50Get her to the police.

00:50:51Leo!

00:50:52Let's go.

00:50:53Come on.

00:50:53You can't do this!

00:50:54Ow!

00:50:54My brother will destroy you both!

00:51:01Who's that?

00:51:02Jennifer deceives me.

00:51:03There was no baby with her.

00:51:05Nothing ever happened between us.

00:51:07That night, it was you all along, right?

00:51:14So you were pregnant with my baby.

00:51:17Aren't you?

00:51:24I never should have questioned you.

00:51:26You have been right here with me the entire time.

00:51:30I'm sorry you had to carry this burden by yourself.

00:51:33But this child, we're going to protect them, all right?

00:51:37Both of us.

00:51:40I'm hosting a gala.

00:51:41I want the world to know we're together!

00:51:44No more going solo.

00:51:47Ever.

00:51:55Ryan?

00:51:56Leo is parading that cook around as his wife at the banquet.

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

00:52:02Jennifer, I literally just got you out of a cell.

00:52:04Can you not?

00:52:05Your Leo obsession needs to stop.

00:52:08Now.

00:52:09I'm not thinking of me.

00:52:10This is all for Monica.

00:52:12Let's not forget, Leo was engaged to Monica.

00:52:16Monica?

00:52:17I only joined this family after Monica had vanished, but you never stopped searching.

00:52:22If she comes back and Leo's hitched to someone else, everyone will mock her.

00:52:27You damn straight.

00:52:29Nobody takes what's Monica's.

00:52:31Nobody!

00:52:39I think this is all for you.

00:52:48Ring up the whole rack.

00:52:49Sure, sir.

00:52:52Leo.

00:52:53Did you forget who you were supposed to be marrying?

00:52:56To what do I owe this unwelcome visit?

00:52:58Leo, it's such a busy schedule you have.

00:53:01You can't even text your old buddies.

00:53:03Spit it out or get lost.

00:53:05You can get yourself a pretty new girlfriend.

00:53:07Suddenly Monica's engagement isn't worth remembering.

00:53:10Look, Monica's situation breaks my heart too.

00:53:14But she vanished as a kid.

00:53:16What, I'm supposed to die alone waiting for a ghost?

00:53:18Monica will be found.

00:53:20And when she is, how will she handle you being seen with that woman?

00:53:25Leo?

00:53:26What's going on?

00:53:29You are breathtaking.

00:53:33I don't think we've met.

00:53:35Are we done here?

00:53:37Tell me, sweetheart.

00:53:39Do you get a kick out of homewrecking?

00:53:41What?

00:53:42Stop trying to steal what isn't yours.

00:53:45That's enough, Ryan.

00:53:48Leo, who was that?

00:53:53Nobody important.

00:53:54Just keep your distance if you see him again.

00:53:57Can you believe Miss Evelyn landed someone like Leo Carter?

00:54:12Straight out of a storybook.

00:54:14They say she's an orphan.

00:54:16Some people have the most unusual luck.

00:54:18Jennifer, shouldn't you be in handcuffs somewhere?

00:54:40My brother Ryan makes jail cells magically open.

00:54:44Funny about that.

00:54:46You know what else is funny?

00:54:47How a plain Jane, nobody like you, would have the nerve to steal someone else's fiance.

00:54:52Talk about shameless.

00:54:54What are you talking about?

00:54:55Please, just admit you're the side piece.

00:54:58She's the other woman?

00:54:59God, what a tramp.

00:55:01She must have some special skills to keep Leo so captivated.

00:55:06Enjoy your victory lap while it lasts.

00:55:08When my sister Monica returns, you'll be yesterday's news.

00:55:12What are you even talking about?

00:55:13Jennifer, seriously, this constant harassment has to stop.

00:55:16Find a hobby.

00:55:18Knitting, maybe.

00:55:19So, orphan girl, pretty slick how you set this whole gold digging operation, but isn't that

00:55:28what it's all about?

00:55:32Here, take the check.

00:55:36Typical gold digger.

00:55:38Already counting the zeros.

00:55:39Word of advice.

00:55:41Don't push your luck.

00:55:45Good.

00:55:46Now that you've taken the money, you'll soon be...

00:55:48Is this a game to you?

00:55:57Consider this a lesson in economics.

00:56:01Your check has zero value in my marriage.

00:56:05I'm not leaving Leo.

00:56:07Leo's temporary obsession doesn't make you royalty.

00:56:10What are you really?

00:56:11Take a good look in the mirror.

00:56:13Trash.

00:56:13Have you lost mind assaulting my sister?

00:56:21She needed another reality check.

00:56:25That's all to be expected from an orphan.

00:56:28Absolutely zero class.

00:56:30She's completely unhinged.

00:56:32Her parents probably saw it coming and ran.

00:56:35Shut your...

00:56:36The audacity.

00:56:39First you snatch my sister's fiancee, then you assault me in public?

00:56:43Apologize to my sister.

00:56:45Right now.

00:56:46Get your hands off of me.

00:56:48Last chance.

00:56:50Apologize or prepare to face the consequences.

00:56:52This woman's unhinged.

00:56:59She drew blood.

00:57:00Someone call the psychiatric where we've got a live one.

00:57:03Hands off her.

00:57:07Touch her.

00:57:08I dare you.

00:57:12Leo.

00:57:13Can't you see what she is?

00:57:15She threw a drink at me and clawed my brother.

00:57:18Funny.

00:57:19I just saw two people ganging up on my wife.

00:57:21Leo, what kind of spell has she put on you?

00:57:23This tramp destroyed our family's engagement.

00:57:28You're engaged.

00:57:30If not for that accident, Leo would have been engaged to someone else.

00:57:36Nick, get her out of here.

00:57:40You're throwing me out because of this tramp?

00:57:43Again?

00:57:44If this is how little you value our family, Leo,

00:57:46then you can consider our partnership terminated.

00:57:50We're done here.

00:58:00Monica.

00:58:02Forget her.

00:58:03She's in the past.

00:58:04What I care about is right now.

00:58:07What about burning bridges with the Wood family?

00:58:10Won't that hurt your company?

00:58:12If it does, I'll make you pay.

00:58:13By spending a lifetime making it up to me.

00:58:30Okay, look.

00:58:32All our customers left.

00:58:34Yeah, and they're complaining the taste of the food.

00:58:36What is this taste-off nonsense?

00:58:39We haven't changed a single recipe or technique.

00:58:41Shut it, okay?

00:58:42This disaster is on you.

00:58:45It's a master apprentice chef.

00:58:46You are.

00:58:47Your food sucks.

00:58:48Okay, and we're going to be out of business within weeks.

00:58:51Are you kidding me?

00:58:52Hey.

00:58:53It's your bottom-leader customers who don't appreciate real food.

00:58:56Hi.

00:59:03Um, what can I do for you, ma'am?

00:59:05This place is clearly on its lost legs.

00:59:09Uh, we're just simply experiencing a momentary...

00:59:14I'm willing to invest in this place.

00:59:19You know what?

00:59:22What incredible insight did you have?

00:59:24Wait, hold up.

00:59:25Uh, this is our head chef.

00:59:27Uh, she trained under the legendary chef.

00:59:29You can sell it for hands.

00:59:31Oh my god!

00:59:33Are those culinary gala passes?

00:59:36Oh my god.

00:59:37It's the event of the year.

00:59:39One appetizer there gets more publicity than most restaurants seen in a lifetime.

00:59:43No, no, no.

00:59:43Mr. Dinnren will be judging.

00:59:46And with one single nut, that means we'll have reservations put down for years.

00:59:50You just...

00:59:52Why would you do this for us?

00:59:56We have the same enemy.

00:59:58All in good time, darlings.

01:00:00All in good time.

01:00:03Good timing indeed for us.

01:00:04Whoa!

01:00:05The culinary gala is happening this weekend.

01:00:16Would you care to join me as my date?

01:00:18I'll go.

01:00:21But I'll be there as head chef.

01:00:23Not as your arm can do you.

01:00:24Evelyn Taylor.

01:00:39Seriously?

01:00:40What's next?

01:00:41The dishwasher getting Michelin star?

01:00:43You know, this is an A-list event.

01:00:46With every food mogul in attendance.

01:00:48What did you...

01:00:48Let me guess.

01:00:49Sneak in here for the buffet?

01:00:51Word on the street is your restaurant shutting down.

01:00:54Is that true?

01:00:55How dare you spread such vicious rumors.

01:00:57Can we get security to kick this con artist out?

01:01:00I have an invitation to this event.

01:01:02Who's gonna kick me out?

01:01:03They invited a nobody like you.

01:01:05They lose their minds.

01:01:07Evelyn?

01:01:08You know, we needed Miss Jennifer's help from our invitation.

01:01:12And what makes you think that you're so worthy to be here?

01:01:14Huh?

01:01:16Madeline.

01:01:17Caleb.

01:01:18Why waste your breath on this nobody?

01:01:21Jennifer!

01:01:22What's your angle this time?

01:01:24Imagine my surprise.

01:01:25Running into such trouble at an event my family sponsors.

01:01:29Miss Jennifer, allow us to take out this trash for you.

01:01:37Hands off now!

01:01:43Jennifer, mess with Evelyn again.

01:01:45Not even your brother can protect you.

01:01:47Mr. Carter.

01:01:48Don't believe Evelyn's act.

01:01:49She's nothing but a fraud.

01:01:50Yeah, she dropped Caleb like garbage once she realized you're money.

01:01:55Get her out of here.

01:01:56Hey, hey!

01:01:57How dare you?

01:01:59I'm Chef E's prodigy.

01:02:01I'm a big new thing in the food world.

01:02:03You?

01:02:04Chef E's apprentice?

01:02:05What?

01:02:06Told that lie enough times even you started to believe it?

01:02:08That's bullshit.

01:02:09I treat directly under Chef E.

01:02:12So who's the liar here?

01:02:13Look at Madeline's confidence.

01:02:15She has to be the real apprentice.

01:02:18I can settle this debate with one taste of her cooking.

01:02:22Oh my god!

01:02:23It's Durand!

01:02:24The ultimate authority on Chef E's technique.

01:02:27Well, Miss Evans, care to put your skills to the test?

01:02:33All right, but only if Evelyn competes too.

01:02:36Loser quits the food industry for good.

01:02:40Even if you lose?

01:02:44Have you lost your mind?

01:02:46There's no way we're losing.

01:02:47When you lose, you'll apologize to me in front of everyone.

01:02:51And whoever I like.

01:02:55Deal.

01:02:56Ready to solve your way out of the food industry.

01:03:02You incompetent idiots!

01:03:04How long does it take to find my sister?

01:03:06Oh, goodness.

01:03:13Wait.

01:03:14Show me the birthmark on the nape of your neck.

01:03:16Back off!

01:03:17Get your hands off of me!

01:03:18Come with me to the hospital, please!

01:03:20Are you insane?

01:03:21Why would I go anywhere with you?

01:03:23Listen to me.

01:03:24You might actually be-

01:03:24Don't touch me, you freak!

01:03:32One DNA test will tell me everything.

01:03:38Leo, hand me my Chef White's.

01:04:07What are you doing?

01:04:08Is Evelyn actually Chef E?

01:04:09What's in that?

01:04:22Something that destroys taste buds.

01:04:27You want to play games with me, Evelyn?

01:04:29I'll bury you so deep you'll never climb out.

01:04:32Show us your culinary creations, ladies.

01:04:35Three, two, one, go.

01:04:40No one can find out I'm lying about being Chef E's student.

01:04:43Losing isn't an option.

01:04:44Jen?

01:04:45Let's go.

01:04:53Okay.

01:04:56Yeah.

01:05:01All right.

01:05:05Good.

01:05:06All right.

01:05:07Good.

01:05:09Good.

01:05:10This dish has quite an unusual appearance, and such flair, and daring, and ingredient

01:05:31pairing.

01:05:32Even Mr. Duran praised Madeline, it's no wonder she's chefie's student.

01:05:36It's not too late to give up now.

01:05:40What is this?

01:05:45Why are these two the same?

01:05:46Who's the copycat here?

01:05:48Are you sure this is okay?

01:05:52I've seen Evelyn make this exact dish.

01:05:55Try it.

01:05:56Mm-hmm.

01:05:59Oh my god!

01:06:09Right.

01:06:10Mm.

01:06:11No one has ever seen this dish before.

01:06:13Use it to defeat Evelyn.

01:06:17Evelyn, how dare you steal my creation?

01:06:23Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

01:06:25Whatever she says, this is my win.

01:06:29Mr. Duran, please, try the dish now.

01:06:38Oh, Mr. Duran maintains his notorious high standards.

01:06:43Seven for Mr. Duran proves Madeline is a prodigy.

01:06:47It is identical to my recipe, down to the last detail, but...

01:06:53Madeline, care to explain the lemon in your dish?

01:06:57I can't reveal my culinary secrets.

01:07:00I'll explain then.

01:07:01The lemon ruins it.

01:07:03Indeed.

01:07:04Without the acidity from the lemon, this would be superior.

01:07:09How did you know?

01:07:10I created this dish when I worked at Mitchell & Vine.

01:07:14I'm the original chef.

01:07:17Wait, so, did Madeline steal this recipe?

01:07:20How else would she know that lemon compromises the flavor?

01:07:23I thought she studied under Chef E. Why would a chef of her pedigree plagiarize?

01:07:29Wait.

01:07:30Wait.

01:07:31Oh, wait.

01:07:32Ha ha.

01:07:33Esteemed guests, I am the owner of Mitchell & Vine, and I swear by and oath, Evelyn did

01:07:40not create this dish.

01:07:42Caleb, you're a real piece of work.

01:07:47I get it.

01:07:48You're still mad that I fired you, but don't you dare bring Madeline into your vendetta.

01:07:54Are you trying to twist the truth?

01:07:56No, I swear Madeline, her cooking is undeniable.

01:07:59Mr. Durand, be careful of her.

01:08:01Okay?

01:08:02Evelyn, do you have any proof of this dish you should always?

01:08:06Nothing concrete.

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

01:08:11Moving on.

01:08:12Time to see what Evelyn's cooked up.

01:08:22Mind-blowing.

01:08:23I mean, sure, similar dishes.

01:08:26But this, this is ingredient poetry.

01:08:30Absolutely perfection.

01:08:34Mr. Durand gave Evelyn a perfect 10.

01:08:36Who is this Evelyn person anyway?

01:08:38Is this going to be happening?

01:08:40I told you I'd crush this.

01:08:41I hereby declare, the winner of this little culinary contest is...

01:08:47Hold on.

01:08:50Mr. Durand, this contest has been compromised.

01:08:53What are you implying?

01:08:54I believe Evelyn has cheated.

01:09:02How could I have possibly cheated?

01:09:04And no one chef couldn't possibly outdo the sole apprentice of Chef E.

01:09:08Seriously?

01:09:09That's your evidence?

01:09:10Let's be real.

01:09:11Chef E is a culinary god.

01:09:13The only way she could have won is by cheating.

01:09:17Hear that?

01:09:18No one's buying it.

01:09:19We need another round right now.

01:09:25Here's my decision.

01:09:26One final round.

01:09:28Recreating Chef E's signature dish, Destinant.

01:09:32Destinant.

01:09:33No way.

01:09:34The dish that made Chef E famous at the final chef showdown.

01:09:37We're seeing this live.

01:09:38Durand practically used to swoon over that dish back in the day.

01:09:42He is going to scrutinize every bite.

01:09:45Jackpot.

01:09:46I've practiced this recipe till I could make it in my sleep.

01:09:50Will you take up the challenge?

01:09:53Absolutely.

01:09:57Boss?

01:09:58How can you laugh when Miss Taylor is in such a tight spot?

01:10:01This might get interesting.

01:10:07Are you serious about this?

01:10:08What's wrong?

01:10:09This is my mentor's masterpiece we've been talking about.

01:10:12But it goes right there if you're not up for it.

01:10:17What's so funny?

01:10:18Oh nothing.

01:10:19I'm just laughing at you, digging your own grave.

01:10:22You just had luck earlier, but now I'm going to crush you.

01:10:26Bring it on.

01:10:27Evelyn, you can still back out.

01:10:29There's no shame in that.

01:10:30What, you're not humiliated enough already?

01:10:34What, you need a bigger crowd?

01:10:37Just get out of here.

01:10:38You'll make me sick.

01:10:39If you're going to be difficult, I'll destroy you once and for all.

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

01:10:55Once and for all.

01:11:04They're now creating Chef E's masterpiece.

01:11:08Destiny.

01:11:14Destiny.

01:11:15You know your heart's racing.

01:11:16You're the one.

01:11:25You're the one.

01:11:26Tomatoes.

01:11:27In Destiny.

01:11:28Are you just freestyling because you know you're toast?

01:11:30Do you ever shut up?

01:11:31Oh, keep that attitude.

01:11:32But you're about to get schooled in what Destiny truly means.

01:11:33Okay.

01:11:34Madeline learned this recipe directly from Chef E. No one can beat her unless Chef E shows up

01:11:36herself.

01:11:37Uh-uh, okay.

01:11:38oIT

01:12:04Oh Leo. Open your eyes. Evelyn's a total loser. She's so beneath you.

01:12:19Sorry, uh, Ms. Jennifer, your perfume, it's basically a chemical weapon. Can't have your gas in the boss.

01:12:29Leo, mark my words, you'll be mine. Just watch Evelyn crash and burn in this industry.

01:12:35It's time!

01:12:39Are you kidding me? If you don't know the dish, don't just wing it.

01:12:43Three's ours.

01:12:48So, you just decided to reinvent Chef E's iconic dish? Bold move.

01:12:55Chef E didn't create destiny as a recipe to be copied. She created it as a challenge to follow your own path.

01:13:01So you're saying your mishmash surpasses the master's original?

01:13:05Mr. Duran, please just try the dishes.

01:13:13Solid construction. You captured the essence of the original.

01:13:17As crazy as it sounds, you not only honored Chef Eve's iconic vision, you transcended it!

01:13:40This can't be! This can't be happening. You cheated! Admit it!

01:13:44On the topic of cheating, I think I've got something you'd want to see.

01:13:54I saw it coming a mile away. I had her equipment replaced before you could do any damage.

01:14:12This crosses all the lines. Adeline, Caleb, you are banned from the culinary world.

01:14:22Permanent!

01:14:24Done!

01:14:26It's over. It's over. It's over.

01:14:28Can I ask?

01:14:30Does the triumph of your destiny have anything to do with my contribution?

01:14:34Because I think I'm the one chained to the end of this destiny.

01:14:37Oh my god, that's Chef E's mask!

01:14:44Evelyn, don't you think it's time for a proper introduction?

01:14:48Miss me, everyone?

01:14:58No, that's impossible! You can't possibly be Chef E!

01:15:01That is Chef E! I remember that mask figure accepting my award! It's burned into my memory!

01:15:09Stop right there! Are you forgetting about our wager?

01:15:17Evelyn, you could stop now, please.

01:15:19Are you having second thoughts about paying up?

01:15:21Acting all high and mighty earlier, and now you're scurrying like rats.

01:15:25Yeah, pay up losers? Sorry.

01:15:27Sorry. Sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you.

01:15:31We're sorry!

01:15:33We're sorry!

01:15:35Yeah, you know, it's just not doing it for me.

01:15:37Wait, why?

01:15:39You know...

01:15:45Put these on.

01:15:47Take a lap.

01:15:49Evelyn...

01:15:51Come on, you don't have to take it this far!

01:15:53A deal's a deal.

01:15:55Yeah, let's show it off.

01:15:57Now these would look great outside of your restaurant.

01:15:59Not...

01:16:01Not so fast.

01:16:03You are not going anywhere until Evelyn gets what she wants.

01:16:09We're going with your girl and vibes right now.

01:16:11Kind of.

01:16:18Die, bitch!

01:16:19Evelyn!

01:16:25Die, bitch!

01:16:26Evelyn!

01:16:27Oh my god!

01:16:29Are you bleeding?

01:16:31I'm glad you're okay.

01:16:33Seriously, Jennifer?

01:16:35Going full slasher movie in broad daylight?

01:16:37It was an accident!

01:16:39Ryan, please.

01:16:41I swear, everything I did, I did for Monica's sake.

01:16:43You have the nerve to bring up Monica!

01:16:45Evelyn is Monica!

01:16:47You nearly stabbed my own sister!

01:16:49That can't be! She can't be her!

01:16:51You are no longer my sister.

01:16:53You're banished from the Wood family!

01:16:55You're banished from the Wood family!

01:16:57You can't!

01:16:59Please!

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

01:17:03Monica!

01:17:04Monica!

01:17:05I finally found you!

01:17:09Monica!

01:17:13What are you talking about?

01:17:15You can't do this!

01:17:19Monica. I finally found you.

01:17:22Monica.

01:17:29What are you talking about?

01:17:31The lab doesn't lie.

01:17:34DNA test.

01:17:36You're my sister, Monica Woods.

01:17:39We've been searching for you for so long.

01:17:42Even Mom and Dad didn't give up until their final wrap.

01:17:47See? You were always treasured.

01:17:50Congrats on the whole family reunion thing.

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

01:17:55This paper entitles you to 50% of Wood Enterprises.

01:17:59Now it's yours.

01:18:00Ryan Wood is handing over half the company to Evelyn just like that?

01:18:03Clearly the sister means a lot to him.

01:18:06No, I can't.

01:18:08It's rightfully yours. Please take it.

01:18:12Evelyn Destiny brought us together.

01:18:21So this is me officially asking, will you marry me?

01:18:27Don't let the man hang!

01:18:29Girl, say yes already!

01:18:31Yes. I will.

01:18:42Remember Leo, if you break her heart, you'll have me to answer too.

01:18:45Don't worry, that's not gonna happen.

01:18:47You're deathbed performance that stopped their divorce?

01:19:04Emmy-worthy, Miss Carter!

01:19:06Nice teamwork.

01:19:09Well, well, well. Look how miraculously healthy you are.

01:19:19You know, it seems I just had a miraculous feeling of improvement.

01:19:25Right?

01:19:26It must be the power of joy that healed Grandma.

01:19:30Come on, Grandma. Game's over.

01:19:34We got you right-handed.

01:19:35Grandma?

01:19:36We have bigger news.

01:19:38Well, do tell.

01:19:41Grandma?

01:19:43You're about to become a great-grandma.

01:19:48Oh, my God!

01:19:50Oh, my God!

01:19:52Well, this is a cause for a proper celebration.

01:19:56Just so you know, Nick, you can kiss that Christmas bonus goodbye.

01:20:06What?

01:20:08No, no, um, sorry. Why me?

01:20:11You helped Grandma with her act.

01:20:13I think someone needs to pay the price.

01:20:18The universe is against me.

01:20:21What am I gonna do?

01:20:23My cats.

01:20:26All six of them.

01:20:30I was gonna get them cat new.

01:20:32A new cat tree.

01:20:35Maybe some tuna.

01:20:37Now I can.
