00:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the system crashed mid-upload.
00:14Half the collection is the wrong season.
00:16We're on everything.
00:18No.
00:20All the runaways in 48 hours.
00:24If production starts with these botched designs,
00:26we're all dead.
00:28Not just fired.
00:29Your company collapses.
00:31Our careers are over.
00:33Come out here and talk to us.
00:35We have eight million tied up in this collection.
00:37I have a fashion editor from Moe.
00:39Right now.
00:40One word for me, your interest is poison.
00:57Enough.
00:58Vic!
01:00Mia, Japanese Indigo.
01:04Miranda, call production, emergency protocol seven.
01:08Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:14Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:1828 minutes?
01:20The whole system takes 15 to reboot.

02:02Holy shit.
02:03Pre-orders are flooding in.
02:04This will shatter every record.
02:0630 minutes.
02:07Just Brax and Hicks, nothing to-
02:12Oh my god, your water broke.
02:21Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:25Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:30Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but...
02:34I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistant's been more comfortable than ours.
02:42That's my girl.
02:53Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
02:58We need to slash costs immediately.
03:02Layoffs?
03:04Absent without leave.
03:09Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:13Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:19In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:23No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:30Boss, the Milan collection crisis?
03:36Averted.
03:37Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:38Ew, you saved the entire collection?
03:40Impressive.
03:41Impressive.
03:42Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
03:50Oh, my God.
03:50Oh, my God, is this really happening?
03:52She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:55I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
03:59I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head.
03:59I can't see you the other one.
04:00I can't see you.
04:01I can't see you the other one.
04:02I can't see you.
04:03But Victoria...
04:04Don't worry about her.
04:05I'm not useless if I go into smack fire.
04:06A useless prego in his neck higher.
04:13You know that collection I just rescued Em?
04:16I hid something in the design.
04:19Your initials and now little graces.
04:22Hold them right into the fabric.
04:28And that's going to give him a long runway?
04:31Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:34Enough for your full tuition at private school.
04:37Mom, you ain't have to.
04:39You're going to that private school.
04:41No discussion.
04:43Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:46This job will keep us afloat.
04:48I love you, Mom.
05:00Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:05After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:09Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:14What the hell?
05:15Listen up, everyone.
05:16Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:17Effective immediately.
05:19You can't just do that.
05:20She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:21They're a loss against this.
05:22What the hell?
05:23Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:24Effective immediately.
05:25You can't just do that.
05:26She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:27They're a loss against this.
05:28Vic worked while in labor.
05:29She's the creative backbone of Maison Nouveau.
05:30Maternity leave.
05:31Medical insurance.
05:32These preggles are bleeding us dry.
05:33What the hell?
05:34What the hell?
05:35What the hell?
05:36What the hell?
05:37Listen up, everyone.
05:38Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:40Effective immediately.
05:41You can't just do that.
05:43She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:44They're a loss against this.
05:45Vic worked while in labor.
05:46She's the creative backbone of Maison Nouveau.
05:47Maternity leave.
05:48Medical insurance.
05:49These preggles are bleeding us dry.
05:50Everything okay here?
05:51Great timing.
05:52Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
05:54Clear out your desk now.
05:56You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:21I saved this company three times when your father could've made pay.
06:25your father couldn't make payroll.
06:27Too many times.
06:30Whoa.
06:32That's ancient history.
06:34The board wants fresh blood.
06:36And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:43What?
06:44I'm the one who...
06:47Mia, you...
06:50Feel that curve?
06:52That's her signature.
06:54That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:00How could you?
07:02I taught you everything you know.
07:10I wish things were different, Vic.
07:15I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:19What happens to my team?
07:25Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:31Things got so bad she had to get hair, implants.
07:35Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:39These jobs are their lifelines.
07:41Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:45You can't just throw them away.
07:47Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:51No mandated, paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:57Or, we can shift the math.
07:59You sign.
08:01They stay.
08:03The budget works out.
08:05Think of it as...
08:07Taking one for the team.
08:09Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:13And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:17They can't lose their jobs.
08:23Come on, Vic. You say you care about them.
08:25Prove it.
08:43No.
08:45No.
09:01Five grand.
09:03That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:05That's what I'm worth to them.
09:13Careful.
09:21I got you.
09:29Vincent?
09:31Vincent Chevalier?
09:33Hi.
09:35High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:43No.
09:49So, it's true.
09:51Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Mison LeBeau's Milan collection.
10:01How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:07Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:11What are you getting at exactly?
10:15I'm talking about you and me.
10:19Partners.
10:21You're genius.
10:23My money.
10:25No corporate BS.
10:27No one holding you back.
10:33I've got a baby to think about now.
10:35And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:41Just saying.
10:47Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:49You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:53You got your spine here?
10:55Don't mind me.
10:57I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing.
11:01Triple her salary, corner office.
11:05You know.
11:07Before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:09Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:11Rescuing a washed-up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:15Wow, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:23I mean the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:27The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:31If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:37Shit, shit, shit.
11:39What are you talking about?
11:41Victoria designed all of this?
11:49Actually, those were my designs.
11:54What did you just say?
11:55The spring collection.
11:57The Cartier pieces.
11:59I designed them.
12:01Under your supervision, of course.
12:03But they came from me.
12:05Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:09I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:13Then explain my signature.
12:15On the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:23So what? Sketches get passed around all the time.
12:25It doesn't prove squat.
12:27Maybe she was your little...
12:29What do they call it?
12:31The dress designer?
12:33And the logo?
12:35The EW, woven in.
12:37Victoria's signature mark.
12:39It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:43Mom, Mia, explain it and make me shut up.
12:49It's funny.
12:50All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their life.
12:55They all have EW and GW so many, too.
12:59Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:01Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:05It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:09Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:13Well, Mia, tell them.
13:15Tell them you designed this.
13:17Tell them you saved Milan.
13:19The logo...
13:21It's...
13:23It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:27You lying little bitch.
13:29That promotion was for saving the company.
13:37Look at the logo again.
13:39It's not EW or GW.
13:41It's actually two M's.
13:45M-M for McMichael.
13:47My last name.
13:51See?
13:52One M flipped.
13:53One upright.
13:54It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:58It's mine.
14:00That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:04Oh my god, she's right.
14:05It does look more like two M's.
14:09You manipulative bitch.
14:10You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:15You learned well, Mia.
14:18Maybe too well.
14:19You'll regret this.
14:23Come on, Vincent.
14:24We don't have to sink to their level.
14:27Okay.
14:28And let me drive you home, Karen.
14:30My Ferrari's outside.
14:32And I got this.
14:33You shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
14:39Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:43Just...
14:44Take care of Miranda and Pauli, will you?
14:49That's right. Get the hell out of my company.
14:51Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:59Oh, and Victoria.
15:04VIP invitation.
15:05Paris Fashion Week.
15:07Front row.
15:08I think you'll find it.
15:10Enlightening.
15:11Every pregnant woman fired.
15:21All of us.
15:23Just like that.
15:25No severance.
15:26No warning.
15:27Nothing.
15:28But a box and a security escort.
15:30You're screwed.
15:35Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:39Their termination people weren't practically paid for your sign and bonus my writing star.
15:44Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
15:47Your designs are eagerly awaited.
15:48Should've kept your legs closed.
15:51Oh my god, mom.
15:52This is insane.
15:53I can't believe we're actually here.
15:54Victoria Wintour.
15:55It's a nuclear vic.
15:56Your mom's basically a legend.
15:57You know that, right?
15:58We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Laval.
15:59Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:00Wait.
16:01Maison Laval?
16:02Well, well.
16:03The queen without her car.
16:04I don't know.
16:05I don't know.
16:06I don't know.
16:07I don't know.
16:08I can't believe we're actually here.
16:09Victoria Wintour.
16:10It's a nuclear vic.
16:11Your mom's basically a legend.
16:12You know that, right?
16:14We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Laval.
16:19Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:24Wait.
16:25Maison Laval?
16:27Well, well.
16:28The queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
16:31Brave of you to show up here.
16:33What's next?
16:34Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:38Leaving so soon?
16:39You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:43Has mommy dearest filled you in on her little career update
16:46about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:51Mom, is that true?
16:52Don't worry.
16:56She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:00Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour.
17:03Still pretending she matters.
17:09My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:13If Maison Laval was putting people like you in charge of the business,
17:16then maybe deserves to crash and burn.
17:19Well, look at that.
17:20It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:23Say whatever you want about me,
17:25but leave my daughter out of it.
17:27That's got a sting, huh?
17:29Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
17:33But hey, good news.
17:35There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:39If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:43That's enough.
17:48That's enough.
17:50You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:52You never belonged in this world.
17:54Look at her.
17:56A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:00That dress?
18:02It's a cheap knockoff.
18:03Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:09It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:15What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:18Remove that dress.
18:20We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:24Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:27Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:30Take your hands off her now.
18:36Vincent.
18:42You're dismissed.
18:43You alright?
18:56You alright?
18:58Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:01The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:04What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:06That knockoff that you're so eager to trash her for?
19:12It's Chauvinne.
19:15Mote couture.
19:17Winter collection.
19:19Not even released yet.
19:21Price tag?
19:23300,000.
19:25Wow!
19:26You gave her that.
19:27That's right.
19:28You did.
19:30I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:34Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:37Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:41Mr. Billionaire is not a white knight.
19:43He's her walking trust fund.
19:47Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:49It's just so predictably desperate.
19:52You really don't understand real talent, do you?
19:59For those of you who don't know me,
20:02I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:05CEO of Jeven.
20:07And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:13I've followed your career from a distance for years.
20:16Your brilliance.
20:19Your principles.
20:21Your passion.
20:23Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:27Mom, did you know about this?
20:29I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:33But in the meantime, what I will do
20:36is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:41She won't let you down, boss.
20:43You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:49She's nothing but a has-been.
20:51The show is about to start.
20:54Your seats are waiting.
21:00Holy shit.
21:02The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:05Talk about a power couple.
21:07They could run the entire industry.
21:10This isn't over, bitch.
21:12Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:24So you've seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:31Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:35Some people too.
21:37Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:46This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:49She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:55It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:57I slaved away on those designs day and night.
21:58And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:00That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:03Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:05That's enough, Holly.
22:06Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:07Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:16Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:17That's her real design strategy.
22:18Stop it, Holly.
22:19You're embarrassing yourself.
22:20And those kids she's so proud of?
22:21Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:22Who gave you?
22:23Miss Jenkins, Miss and Michael's, it's a design design.
22:24Who gave you?
22:25Miss Jenkins, Miss and Michael's,
22:26Who gave you a good price?
22:27It's a design design design.
22:28It's a design design design design design.
22:29Who gave you a good price.
22:30You didn't know if you were ingrained people, too.
22:31Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:32You're personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:33Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:34That's her real design strategy?
22:35Stop it, Holly.
22:36You're embarrassing yourself.
22:37And those kids she's so proud of?
22:38Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:39Who gave you?
22:41Miss Jenkins?
22:42Miss and Michael's, Miss and Michael's, it's a design design design force.
22:45Who gave you..
22:52in there. There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric!
22:56Not now!
23:02The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights!
23:06The dresses are literally falling apart!
23:09We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime!
23:12Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Moval?
23:14Are you cancelling the show because of your incompetence?
23:16This is completely unprofessional!
23:19I have 10 million invested in this collection!
23:22This is breach of contract!
23:26It's actually fixable.
23:30Paul, you can't seriously be thinking about helping you backstabbing vultures!
23:36Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week!
23:38Maison Laveau appears to be imploding underneath new leadership!
23:42Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled minutes before showtime!
23:46The question on everyone's mind?
23:48Is this the end for the once-prestigious fashion books?
23:55This show doesn't happen.
23:56You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
23:59We're talking billions, Holly.
24:01Billions.
24:02Billions.
24:03Billions.
24:19Billions.
24:20Vamos!
24:21Final Help!
24:22Fix this!
24:23No
24:24Fix this!
24:27Now!
24:29How? The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials!
24:33I can't magically make new dresses in an hour!
24:37You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:40If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:44That's billions of dollars.
24:47Then you better figure something out.
24:49Because if you don't, not only are you fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again!
25:05Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
25:10Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:14Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:17And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:22We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:35Excuse me.
25:37Excuse me.
25:39It's okay, Pumpkin. I'll be right back.
25:47What do you want, Mia?
25:53Vic, I really need your help.
25:55Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
26:00Look, I know you're furious. I would be too.
26:04But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
26:07What about them?
26:08Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:10If we tank, they're done. Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:15Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just pull this out here.
26:21Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:24Yes, absolutely. And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:27Please, Vic, not for me. For them. That's weird.
26:33I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.
26:37What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:40They, they couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.
26:49Is that right?
26:51Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help. They do.
26:57Fine. I'll help you.
27:01But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline. Not for you.
27:10Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter. The Nuclear Vic.
27:20I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric. Now.
27:30I need royal fuchsia for this stitching. Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:35Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:40Would this work?
27:48Vincent, how did you...
27:51I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven as emergency kit.
27:59This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors. Why would you help them?
28:05I'm not helping them. I'm helping you.
28:12I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:16I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:21It's yours now.
28:23I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:25Then what do you want?
28:29You.
28:32What?
28:36You're a talent. You're a vision. Come and work as Joven.
28:43I'm in. I'll work for you.
28:45Just like that?
28:47Just like that.
28:48Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
28:52I hate it when I'm gone.
29:00I wish I was cool.
29:02Like the new girl at school.
29:05I regret it.
29:06So I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get it.
29:09I want me back.
29:12Don't ever change.
29:15I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:19She's doing it in minutes.
29:21What would have taken us hours?
29:23Whoa.
29:25No wonder they call her the nuclear Vick.
29:27It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:31The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:39Five minutes till showtime. We made it.
29:41We made it.
29:54Well, do we pull the plug or not?
29:57We're good. Everything's back on track.
30:00See? I knew firing Victoria was the right call. You've got twice her talent.
30:06Yeah, right.
30:08This is exactly why I promoted you. You fix this, it's not make them.
30:20To Victoria.
30:22The real hero of the night.
30:23Mom, you're insane. I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:40Couldn't have done it without you.
30:41You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office bromance.
30:53Well, well, still hanging around.
30:56I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party. Fraud.
31:00Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:05What are you talking about?
31:07Just ask the models. Any of them.
31:10Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement. About Miranda and Pauline.
31:15I, I won't.
31:23Two new beginnings at Chauvet.
31:32Speaking of new beginnings, Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:37I want to help. With their education.
31:42What? Vincent, that, that's too much. We barely know each other.
31:47Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
31:52I remember watching you win that regional competition.
31:58In that silver dress. The one you made from scratch.
32:01I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:09Do you remember that?
32:11I remember everything.
32:14I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:22Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:24You were married.
32:27And then you weren't.
32:28And then you were building your career.
32:32Timing just, was never right.
32:36Until now.
32:46I have been waiting 20 years to do this.
32:58I should probably get this.
33:14Mia?
33:18God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:21That Milan disaster you turned around? Absolute magic.
33:23And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
33:28Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:32Sean Gosling?
33:34The Sean Gosling?
33:37The very one.
33:39Three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:42And if you play our cards right, the next face of the Maison, the Bulls handswear.
33:45They're taking pitches now.
33:48If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:51For you.
33:52For the brand.
33:54Where it is, Jovan's in the running too.
33:57Land this.
33:58Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:04Seal the deal.
34:06I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:08I've got this, Holly.
34:10You won't regret it.
34:18God, what am I gonna do?
34:20I can't design menswear.
34:22I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:25Miranda and Pauline are gone too.
34:27I'm completely on my own.
34:28If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria.
34:37Maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over her.
34:40Can you?
35:02Thanks for meeting me.
35:03I know things are complicated between us.
35:06You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
35:08Cut to the chase.
35:11We're pitching for Sean's Oscar texts.
35:14Miranda and Pauline are also named.
35:16Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:17She can handle this without me.
35:19Please, wait. There's more to it.
35:21After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:25Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:28I've been fighting for them.
35:30Are you serious?
35:31Holly's due any day now.
35:33Trust me, I know.
35:34This project is our only shot.
35:36If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:38Have you worked with Sean before?
35:41No, but I've heard you have.
35:43Ages ago.
35:45I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
35:48Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison Leblanc.
35:53Really?
35:54What concept?
35:58Well...
35:59Perfect.
36:00She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:04I'll use her design to save my ass and lay on this project.
36:21Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:24I do.
36:26Actually, I...
36:27I took them with me when I left Maison Leblanc.
36:31Wait.
36:33Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:35How exactly is she part of this project?
36:38Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:42Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:47Of course, Vic.
36:49Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:55You need to leave, buddy.
36:57Take all the time you need.
36:59Mia.
37:01Don't make me regret trusting you.
37:03Again.
37:12Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:24Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:28The Sean Gosselin one with the black satin lapels?
37:31That's the one.
37:33Can you check my home office?
37:34It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:38Got it.
37:40Grace is napping.
37:41Thanks, sweetie.
37:42I just need to double check something about the...
37:47Shoulder.
37:49Instruction.
37:51Mom, are you okay?
37:57Miranda?
37:59Vic?
38:04Mom! Mom! What's going on?
38:06Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:08Brenda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:12Bills don't feed themselves.
38:14You met my husband.
38:15Old child with no paycheck.
38:16And now there's a newborn at home.
38:18Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the galsing project.
38:20What?
38:22Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:23After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company. No severance, no cover, nothing. Just gone.
38:24That's completely illegal.
38:25Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause. All at once. What are the odds, right?
38:29And Polly?
38:30Parking night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:31And her sister medical bills kept piling up?
38:33To play in the hospital.
38:34She sent her to the hospital.
38:36I'm sorry.
38:38We have to go.
38:40We have to go.
38:41Here.
38:43How do we know?
38:44Broward?
38:45Our new lawyer said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause, all at once.
38:51What are the odds, right?
38:53And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:58Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:06And Mia knew about all this.
39:08Mia, front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
39:13Didn't even blink.
39:15Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
39:19She's been using you and Polly to manipulate me.
39:23Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:26What? That bitch!
39:31This ends now.
39:38Damn it!
39:43Yes, Miss Michael.
39:45He's just arrived from Milan.
39:47We need approval by noon for them.
39:49Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:01What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
40:03Victoria would never treat us.
40:05I heard that.
40:07You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:11Then where is she now?
40:13Gone.
40:14Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:17Well at least you can actually design it.
40:19What the hell is going on here?
40:29Just a great disagreement. Everything is under control.
40:33The Gosling page. Tell me you have something presentable.
40:40Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:42Show me.
40:43It's not quite ready.
40:45Now.
40:51This is garbage.
40:53Absolute garbage!
40:55I just need a little more time.
40:57We don't have more time.
40:58This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:00If Chauvin gets this deal instead of us.
41:06What's that?
41:07It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:17I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
41:20Get me when you design me tomorrow morning.
41:22Or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:29Mama.
41:30I still can't believe they're using this as leverage.
41:57Right on cue.
42:01Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:03Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:07The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:12She'll get her a sketch.
42:13And that's where we spring the trap.
42:15You're early.
42:29Thick.
42:30I really need that sketch.
42:40I said I'd help.
42:41Not hand over my design.
42:43Polly's all over me about this.
42:45If I don't have something tonight.
42:47Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:51Still lying Mia.
42:52You never learn.
42:54Guess it's payback time.
42:56So.
42:57Do you want my help or not?
42:58I can walk you through it.
42:59Your design could be just as good.
43:02She's such a snake.
43:03I'm such a snake.
43:06Thick, my stomach is killing me.
43:08Can you run to the pharmacy and get something please?
43:11Fine.
43:13But don't touch anything.
43:14Anything.
43:16I'm sorry, Thick.
43:29Survival of the fittest.
43:31Well, I'm sorry, Thick.
43:33Survival of the fittest.
43:34No.
43:35I'm sorry.
43:36I've got to get up.
43:37I've got to get up.
43:38I'm sorry.
43:39I'm sorry.
43:40Sorry, Nick. Survival of the fittest.
43:55You just let her take your work?
43:57She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
44:03You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
44:06Go after the same clients.
44:08Show them what real design looks like.
44:11We're not out yet.
44:25I heard there's a revolution room.
44:32I figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:35You're welcome, Mom.
44:42I want you and your team as your vent.
44:47Full creative control.
44:50I'm Miranda. Your husband's debt.
44:53Handled.
44:54And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:58Mr. Chevalier, I...
45:01I'm Pauline. Your sister is in good hands.
45:05The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:07It's already prepping for her next surgery.
45:10Mr. Chevalier! Thank you!
45:12Thank you!
45:13Don't thank me.
45:15Thank Victoria.
45:16I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:20Vincent, I...
45:22I don't even know what to say.
45:25It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:27I had no idea what you deserve.
45:28I don't know what you know what you deserve.
45:29You deserve to be honest.
45:31It's about what you deserve.
45:32I don't know what you deserve.
45:33To be honest, what you deserve.
45:35I really do not know what you deserve.
46:38The final tweaks, the pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:44You've got Grace to sleep.
46:46Yeah.
46:50And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:54Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:06We're about to make history.
47:08Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:12We don't follow trends.
47:14We create them.
47:20Satin black lapels.
47:22Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.
47:26A blend of tradition and boldness.
47:30I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:34What is that bitch doing here?
47:46Thank you Mr. Jenkins for clearing out your best talent.
47:50My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:56I didn't expect to see you here.
47:58I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:02Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:08You know Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
48:14The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:16And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:22Pregnant women talk you know.
48:24Three ex employees and a rival CEO.
48:26What's next? A fake sale?
48:30Laugh all you want Holly.
48:32You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:34And what real loyalty looks like.
48:46Sean, glad you could make it.
48:52We have something very special to show you.
48:58Vic.
49:02I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:05Congratulations.
49:06Thank you Sean. It's good to see you.
49:10Let's begin the pitches.
49:13You ready to lose?
49:14You're out of your league.
49:16You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:27First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:48Next, Victoria, Miranda and Pauline.
50:00Beautiful work.
50:02Both teams.
50:03We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:13After careful consideration, we're awarding project to...
50:20Maison Laveau.
50:22Yes!
50:23Oh my god.
50:24Of course.
50:26This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:33What the hell did you people put me in?
50:42Are you trying to kill me?
50:44Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:47Who designed this tuxedo?
50:48Did you even read the brief?
50:52I mean...
50:54You must have read the brief.
50:55It's not complicated.
50:56It says no synthetic blend.
51:00I mean...
51:01It must be some kind of mistake.
51:02Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:05A mistake?
51:06I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:09Victoria.
51:11Please, tell these amateurs why you pulled your last design.
51:14I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:27I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
51:31And that's why Victoria is the best.
51:33She actually pays attention.
51:35After reviewing all of the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
51:39The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda and Pauline.
51:42Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:47Mia's design was the front runner all along.
51:50That's why they picked her first.
51:55Maybe everyone should see this.
52:03Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:12That's a new low. Even for you.
52:19Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:23And so you know, I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
52:30Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:33We're suspending all collaborations.
52:35Please.
52:45Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:48You're blacklisted.
52:54Victoria, please.
52:55Victoria, please.
53:06Victoria, please.
53:09I'll do anything.
53:10Please just help me save the company, the brand you built for 15 years.
53:15You made your choices, Holly.
53:17Now you live with them.
53:18You finally went too far.
53:28Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game-changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:33Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
53:49To the best comeback in fashion history.
53:53And to the women who made it happen.
53:55And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
54:01Mom.
54:03You might want to see this.
54:13Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:15Happy birthday to you.
54:18Happy birthday to you.
54:25Guys, look.
54:28Maison Laveau on the brink.
54:31Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:34Ouch.
54:36I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:38It's strange, isn't it?
54:46I gave them everything.
54:48Late nights.
54:50Weekends.
54:52All the best years.
54:53And they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:55Now it's all crashing down.
54:58I thought I'd feel vindicated.
55:00Honestly, it's a weird mix.
55:02Relief, sure.
55:04But also a little bit of grief.
55:07Look.
55:08Who said that our best years are behind us?
55:11Look at this.
55:13Jeven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
55:19Victoria, this is you.
55:21You did this.
55:23Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
55:29Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
55:33Careful, Vincent.
55:35You almost forgot the best part.
55:49Victoria Winter.
55:53Will you marry me?
56:03Yes.
56:05A thousand times, yes.
56:07Woo!
56:27Best for ever.
56:32You came.
56:34I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:36I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:39When word got out you left.
56:41Clients bailed.
56:43The board freaked.
56:45Numbers tanked.
56:47I couldn't stop it.
56:49You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
56:52When word got out you left. Clients bailed, the board freaked, numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.
57:02You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
57:05I know. I know. My father, the stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:27I destroyed everything. My thoughts slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:37I don't mean for it to end like this. Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it. Last week.
57:46The brand, the archives, even the debt. It's part of Jeven now.
57:52You bought it? Why would you do that?
57:55To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
58:03You win, Victoria. I hope you do better than I did.
58:09I'll do it differently. Goodbye, Holly.
58:25Miss Winter, I just, I wanted to thank you. Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
58:43I can keep working and have my baby. You changed everything. Congratulations. Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
58:56I know.
59:05Ready?
59:10Always.
