00:00No, 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.
00:21It's 48 hours.
00:23If production starts with these botched designs,
00:26we're all dead.
00:27Not just fired.
00:28We're dead.
00:30Company 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 Vogue.
00:39Right now.
00:40One word for me.
00:41You're injured some poison.
00:56Enough.
00:58Vic!
01:01Mia, Japanese indigo.
01:04Miranda, call production emergency protocol seven.
01:07Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:15Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:1828 minutes?
01:19The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2227 now.
01:23Tick tock.
01:24And done.
01:25Crisis averted.
01:27I swear to god.
01:28You're not human.
01:2927 minutes.
01:30Holy shit.
01:31Pre-orders are flooding in.
01:32This will shatter every record.

01:37I swear to god.

01:39You're not human.
01:4027 minutes.
01:4127 minutes.
01:42Holy shit.
01:43Pre-orders are flooding in.
01:44This will shatter every record.
01:47I swear to god.
01:48I swear to god.
01:49I swear to god.

01:5127 minutes.
01:52White, you're not human.
01:53Deep, you're becoming human.
01:54You're not human.
01:5528 minutes.
01:5618 minutes.
01:5718 minutes.
01:5820 minutes.
01:5920 minutes.
02:0014 minutes.
02:0116 hours.
02:0220 minutes.
02:0320 minutes.
02:0420 minutes.
02:0520 minutes.
02:0720 minutes.
02:08Fantastic.
02:0920 minutes.
02:11Oh my god.
02:13Wiyu!
02:1710 minutes.
02:1818 minutes.
02:20Mom, 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 I told him that he lost his visiting
02:36privileges since he decided that his assistance then was more comfortable than ours.
02:42That's my girl.
02:50Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
02:59We need to slash costs immediately.
03:02Layoffs?
03:07That's it without leave. Oh, 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.
03:26No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:34Boss, the Milan collection crisis averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:39You, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:42Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
03:50Oh my god, is this really happening? She's offering me Victoria's job? I can finally get rid of that
03:57beach hanging over my head.
04:03But Victoria- Don't worry about her. I'm not useless.
04:06I'm going to smack fire.
04:13You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:14I hid something in the design. Your initials and now little graces.
04:22Hold them right into the fabric.
04:24And that's going to give him a long runway?
04:32Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:35Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:37Mom, you're going to that private school.
04:42No discussion. Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:46This job will keep us afloat.
04:49I 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.
05:18Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:35What the hell? Listen up, everyone. Victoria Wintour is terminated. Effective immediately.
05:44You can't just do that. She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:47They're a loss against this.
05:49Vic worked while in labor. She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggos are bleeding us dry.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:05Great timing. Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:11Clear out your desk now.
06:17You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:23I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:27Too many times.
06:30Well, that's ancient history.
06:34The board wants fresh blood.
06:36And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:39What? I'm the one who...
06:48Mia, you...
06:51Feel that curve?
06:52That's her signature.
06:54That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
06:55How could you? I taught you everything you know.
07:11I wish things were different, Vic.
07:15I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:18What happens to my team?
07:26Miranda 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.
07:36Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:40These jobs are their lifelines.
07:42Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:45You can't just throw them away.
07:48Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:51No mandated, paid maternity leave, no real protection.
07:54But hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:57Or we can shift the math.
08:01You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:05Think of it as taking one for the team.
08:09Miranda's still drowning in her husband's deaths.
08:14And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:17They can't lose their jobs.
08:23Come on, Vic. You say you care about them.
08:26Prove it.
08:26Come on, Vic.
08:42No define.
08:46I don't think you agree with yourself.
08:48Five grand.
09:03That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:05That's what I'm worth to them.
09:18Be careful, I got you.
09:28Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:32Hi. High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:48So, it's true.
09:52Great 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.
10:12What 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.
10:36And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:41Just saying.
10:42Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:43You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:53Got your spine here?
10:55Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
11:03Triple her salary, corner office.
11:06You know, before the vultures at LB or Chanel swoop in.
11:10Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:13Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:17Wow, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:21I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:28The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:31If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:36Strip.
11:38Shit, shit, shit.
11:40What are you talking about?
11:41Victoria designed all of this.
11:49Actually, those were my designs.
11:54What did you just say?
11:56The spring collection.
11:58The Cartier pieces.
12:00I designed them.
12:01Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:04Oops.
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?
12:24Sketches get passed around all the time.
12:25It doesn't prove squat.
12:27Maybe she was your little...
12:29What do they call it?
12:30The dress designer?
12:32And the logo?
12:35The EW, woven in Victoria's signature mark.
12:40It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:43Mom, Mia, explain it and make me shut up.
12:45It's funny.
12:46All 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.
13:02Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:04It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:10Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:14Well, Mia, tell them.
13:16Tell them you designed this.
13:18Tell them you saved Milan.
13:19The logo, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:28You lying little bitch!
13:30That promotion was for saving the company.
13:32Look at the logo again.
13:33It's not EW or GW.
13:42It's actually two M's.
13:45MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:48See?
13:49One M flipped.
13:50One up right.
13:51It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:54It's mine.
13:56That is absolutely ridiculous.
13:58Oh my god, she's right.
13:59It does look more like two M's.
14:02You manipulated bitch.
14:03You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:07You learned wild, Mia.
14:08Maybe too well.
14:10You'll regret this.
14:12Come on, Vincent.
14:14We don't have to sink to that logo.
14:16Okay.
14:17Then let me drive you home, Karen.
14:18My Ferrari's outside.
14:20I got this.
14:21You shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
14:23I got this.
14:25You shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
14:27I got this.
14:29I got this.
14:30You shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
14:33I got this.
14:34You shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
14:39Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:43Just take care of my under and Pauli, will you?
14:49That's right.
14:50Get the hell out of my company.
14:52Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
15:00Paul and Victoria.
15:04VIP invitation.
15:05Paris Fashion Week.
15:07Front row.
15:08I think you'll find it.
15:10Enlightening.
15:19Every 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.
15:45About when we were slashing you.
15:47Your designs are eagerly awaited.
15:52You should have kept your legs closed.
15:53Oh my god, mom.
15:54This is insane.
15:55I can't believe we're actually here.
15:56Victoria Winter.
15:57The Nuclear Vic.
15:58The Nuclear Vic.
15:59Your mom's basically a legend.
16:00You know that, right?
16:01Yeah.
16:02We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
16:03Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:05Wait, Maison Léveau?
16:08Wait.
16:26Well, well.
16:27The Queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
16:30Brave of you to show up here.
16:32What's next?
16:33What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:38Leaving so soon? You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:43Has mommy dearest filled you in on her little career update about getting canned for not
16:47cutting it anymore? Mom, is that true?
16:56Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:00Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter. Still pretending she matters.
17:09My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:13If Ms. Honniveau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe
17:18deserves to crash and burn. Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:23Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:27That's got a sting, huh? Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid and worships you like some kind of hero.
17:34But hey, good news. There'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.
17:44That's enough. You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.
17:55Look at her. A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:00That dress, it's a cheap knockoff.
18:03Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic. It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:13What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:17Remove that dress.
18:20We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:23Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:28Let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:31Take 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?
19:08That knockoff that you're so eager to trash her for.
19:13It's Chauvin.
19:15Bout Couture.
19:16Winter Collection.
19:18Not even released yet.
19:21Price tag?
19:23300,000.
19:24Wow!
19:25You gave her that.
19:27That's right.
19:28You did.
19:31I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:35Oh my god, everyone mystery solved. Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:39Mr. Billionaire is not a white knight. He'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?
20:01For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier, CEO of Jeven.
20:07And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:15I've followed your career from a distance for years.
20:17Your brilliance, your principles, your passion.
20:24Victoria, 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.
20:34But in the meantime, what I will do is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:41She won't let you down, boss.
20:46You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier. She's nothing but a has-been.
20:52The show is about to start. Your seats are waiting.
21:00Holy shit, the industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:05Talk about a power couple. They could run the entire industry.
21:10This isn't over, bitch. Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:24So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:29Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:36Some people, too.
21:41Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:47This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:49She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:53It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:59I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
22:05And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:08That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:15Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:19That's enough, Holly.
22:22Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:25Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:31Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:35That's her real design strategy.
22:37Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:39And those kids she's so proud of? Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:43How dare you?
22:49Miss Jenkins. Miss McMichaels. It's a disaster in there.
22:53There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
22:56Not now.
23:03Primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:06The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:09We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:11Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Mauveau?
23:14Are you cancelling the show because of your incompetence?
23:17This is completely unprofessional.
23:19I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:23This is breach of contract.
23:27It's actually fixable.
23:30Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping you backstabbing vultures.
23:36Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:39Maison Mauveau 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, is this the end for the once prestigious fashion house?
23:55This show doesn't happen.
23:57You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
23:59Yes. We're talking billions, Holly. Billions.
24:03What's this?
24:28Now.
24:30How? The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:34I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:37You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:41If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:45That's billions of dollars.
24:48Then you better figure something out.
24:50Because if you don't, not only are you fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
24:55Miss Winter, how do you respond to accusations over design theft?
25:11Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:15Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:18And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:21Yes. We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:36Excuse me.
25:38Excuse me.
25:39It's okay, punk. I'll be right back.
25:41What 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.
25:59Look, I know you're furious. I would be too.
26:05But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
26:07What about them?
26:09Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:11If we tank, they're done. Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:16Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just put this out here.
26:22Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:24Yes, absolutely. And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:29Please, Vic, not for me. For them. For school.
26:34I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.
26:38What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:44They... they couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.
26:49Is that right?
26:51Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
26:56They do.
26:57Fine.
27:01I'll help you.
27:02But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
27:04Not for you.
27:05Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter. The nuclear beck.
27:20I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric. Now.
27:23I need royal fuchsia for this stitching. Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:35Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:37I need royal fuchsia thread.
27:41Would this work?
27:48Vincent, how did you...
27:50I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
27:57This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Lavoe are competitors. Why would you help them?
28:05I'm not helping them. I'm not helping them. I'm helping you.
28:11I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:15I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone. It's yours now.
28:22I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:27Then what do you want?
28:29You.
28:32What?
28:36Your talent. Your vision.
28:40Come and work as Joven.
28:43I'm in. I'll work for you.
28:46Just like that?
28:47Just like that. Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Lavoe.
29:00I wish I was cool, like the new girl at school.
29:05I regret it, so I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get it.
29:09I want me back, don't ever change.
29:13I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:19She's doing it in minutes. What would have taken us hours?
29:24Whoa. No wonder they call her the nuclear vic.
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.
29:43No.
29:55Well, 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.
30:05Yeah, right. This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:11You fix this, just not make them.
30:13To Victoria. The real hero of the night.
30:35Mom, you're insane. I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:39I couldn't have done it without you.
30:44You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office bromance.
30:49Well, well, still hanging around. I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
31:00Fraud.
31:00So I'm gonna say a lot.
31:02Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:06What 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.
31:16I won't.
31:23Two new beginnings at Chauvet.
31:31Speaking of new beginnings, Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:37I want to help with our education.
31:42What? Vincent, that's too much. We barely know each other.
31:47Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
31:53I remember watching you win that regional competition in 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.
32:21Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:24You were married.
32:27And then you weren't.
32:29And then you were building your career.
32:31The timing just was never right.
32:35Until now.
32:36Until now.
32:46I have been waiting 20 years to do this.
32:49I have been waiting 20 years to do this.
33:03I should probably get this.
33:05Mia?
33:06God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:21That Milan disaster you turned around, absolute magic.
33:25And now I have an opportunity that can put you on the map for good.
33:29Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:32Sean Gosling?
33:36The Sean Gosling?
33:38The very one.
33:39Three-time Oscar winner of People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:42And if we play our cards right, the next face of the Maison LeBeau is an elsewhere.
33:47They're taking pitches now.
33:49If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:52For you, for the brand.
33:54Word is, Joven's in the running too.
33:57Land this, Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:03Seal 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.
34:21I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:25Miranda and Pauline are gone too.
34:27I'm completely on my own.
34:30If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:37maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over.
34:40Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.
34:53You mentioned Miranda and Pauline. Cut to the chase.
34:58We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks. Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
35:03Miranda's excellent with menswear. She can handle this without me.
35:05Please, wait. There's more to it.
35:07After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:10Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:12I've been fighting for them.
35:13Are you serious?
35:14Holly's due any day now.
35:15Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot.
35:17If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:19Have you worked with Sean before?
35:20No.
35:21No.
35:22No.
35:23No.
35:24No.
35:25No.
35:26No.
35:27No.
35:28No.
35:29No.
35:30No.
35:31No.
35:32No.
35:33No.
35:34No.
35:35No.
35:36No.
35:37No.
35:38No.
35:39No.
35:40You're not going to look in the role of the Sean before?
35:42No.
35:43But I've heard you have.
35:44Ages ago.
35:45I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
35:48Actually, I was sketching in your tuxedo concept right before I left Maison L'Vene.
35:54Really?
35:55What concept?
35:59Well.
36:10Perfect if she's handing everything over without even realizing me.
36:17I'll use her design to save my ass and lay on this project.
36:21Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:25I do. Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
36:31Wait. Miranda went on maternity leave last week. How 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.
36:44Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:47Of course, Vic. Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:55You need to leave Otto. Take all the time you need her.
36:59Mia, don't make me regret trusting you. Again.
37:08Pumpkin, I need a quick favor. Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:27The Shawn Gosselin one with the black hat and lapels?
37:31That's the one. Can you check my home office? It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:37Got it. Grace is napping. The perfect timing.
37:41Thanks, sweetie. I just need to double check something about the...
37:47Shoulder. Instruction.
37:50Mom, are you okay?
37:53Miranda? Vic?
37:59Mom! Mom! What's going on?
38:05Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:08Miranda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:13Bills don't pay themselves. You met my husband. Old child with no paycheck and now there's a newborn at home.
38:22Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
38:27Wait, what? Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:32After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company. No severance, no cover, nothing. Just gone.
38:41That's completely illegal.
38:44Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
38:49All at once. What are the odds, right?
38:52And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:57Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:06And Mia knew about all this.
39:08Mia. Front row seat when Holly made an announcement. Didn'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!
39:29This ends now.
39:39Damn it!
39:44Miss Michael, he's just arrived from Milan. We need approval by name for them.
39:49Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:52What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
40:03Victoria would never treat us.
40:05I heard that. You think Victoria is so perfect? Then where is she now? Gone.
40:15Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:20Well at least you can actually design it.
40:27What the hell is going on here?
40:29Just a great disagreement. Everything's under control.
40:33The Gosling page. Tell me you have something presentable.
40:36Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:41Show me.
40:43It's not quite ready.
40:44Now.
40:47This is garbage.
40:53Absolute garbage!
40:55I just need a little more time.
40:57We don't have more time. This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:00If Shufin gets this deal instead of us.
41:06What's that?
41:12It'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 it when you design me tomorrow morning,
41:23or pack up your desk by lunch!
41:25I still can't believe they're using this as leverage.
41:50Right on cue.
42:01Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:03Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:07The absolute nerve of this woman!
42:11She'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.
42:32I said I'd help, not 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.
42:53Guess it's payback time.
42:55So.
42:56Do 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!
43:05Ugh!
43:06Heck, my stomach is killing me!
43:08Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:11Fine.
43:12But don't touch anything.
43:14Anything.
43:40Sorry, Nick.
43:41Survival of the fizz.
43:43You just let her take your work?
43:57She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
44:03You know, boss.
44:04We could pitch ourselves.
44:06Go after the same clients.
44:08Show them what real design looks like.
44:11We're not out yet.
44:25Oh, there's a revolution room.
44:32Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:34You're welcome, Mom.
44:35I want you and your team as your van.
44:48Full creative control.
44:50I'm Miranda.
44:51Your husband's debt.
44:53Handled.
44:54And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:57Mr. Chevalier, I...
44:58I'm Pauline.
44:59Your sister is in good hands.
45:00The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:01It's already prepping for her next surgery.
45:02Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
45:03Don't thank me.
45:04Thank Victoria.
45:05I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:06Vincent, I...
45:07Vincent, I...
45:08I don't even know what to say.
45:09It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:12I hope you don't get to.
45:13I hope you don't get to.
45:15John, thank you.
45:16We're just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:20Vincent, I...
45:22I don't even know what to say.
45:24It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:28Mr. Chevalier, I hope you get to.
45:31Hi.
45:32Hello, how are you?
46:35And you're still here?
46:38Final tweaks. The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:44You've got Grace to sleep.
46:49Yeah.
46:51And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:56Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
46:58We're about to make history.
47:10Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:13We don't follow trends.
47:15We create them.
47:16Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:30I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:33What 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.
48:10You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
48:15The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:17And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:23Pregnant women talk, you know.
48:25Three ex employees and I'm the CEO.
48:27What's next?
48:28A fake sale?
48:30Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:32You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:35And what real loyalty looks like.
48:47Sean, I'm glad you could make it.
48:53We have something very special to show you.
48:58Vic.
49:02I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:06Congratulations.
49:07Thank you, Sean.
49:08It's good to see you.
49:10Let's begin the pitches.
49:13You ready to lose?
49:15You're out of your league.
49:16You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:28First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:30Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:47Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:51Beautiful work.
50:02Both teams.
50:07We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:08After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...
50:20Maison Laveau.
50:21Oh, my God.
50:24Of course.
50:26This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:29What 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?
50:50I mean, you must have read the brief.
50:55It's not complicated.
50:57It says no synthetic blend.
51:00I mean...
51:01It must be some kind of mistake.
51:03Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:05A mistake?
51:06I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:09Victoria, please, tell these amateurs
51:13why you pulled your last design before.
51:23I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:27I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's help for a deadline.
51:30And that's why Victoria's the best.
51:33She actually pays attention.
51:34After reviewing all of the entries,
51:37the committee has reached a decision.
51:39The commission goes to
51:40Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline, which are there.
51:43Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:48Mia'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?
52:07That's a new low.
52:14Even for you.
52:19Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:23And so you know,
52:24I will be supporting Victoria's case
52:27for design theft.
52:30Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:32We're suspending all collaborations.
52:45Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:48You're blacklisted.
52:54Victoria, please.
52:55Victoria, please.
53:09I'll do anything.
53:10Please just help me save the company,
53:12the brand you built for 15 years.
53:14You made your choices, Holly.
53:17Now you live with them.
53:21You finally went too far.
53:22Sean Gosling's look tonight
53:30is a game-changer
53:31crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:34Social media is already calling it
53:35the Winter Revolution.
53:37To the best comeback in fashion history
53:52and to the women who made it happen.
53:55And to the maternity leave
53:57that actually means something.
54:01Mom, you might want to see this.
54:07Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:18Happy birthday to you!
54:24Guys, look!
54:28Maison Laveau on the brink?
54:30The scandal pushes fashion giant
54:32towards bankruptcy.
54:33Ouch!
54:35I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:38It's strange, isn't it?
54:47I gave them everything.
54:49Late nights, weekends,
54:51all the best years
54:53and they tossed us aside
54:54like we were nothing.
54:56Now it's all crashing down.
54:58I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:59Honestly, it's a weird mix.
55:03Relief, sure.
55:04But also a little bit of grief.
55:07Look, who said that
55:09our best years are behind us?
55:11Look at this!
55:14Joven pushes for
55:15paid leave and parental support
55:17across all industries.
55:19Victoria, this is you!
55:21You did this!
55:22Victoria Winter.
55:24Here's to a future
55:25where women don't have to choose
55:27between their families
55:28and their careers.
55:29Not just for us,
55:30but for every woman
55:31who comes after.
55:34Careful, Vincent.
55:35I almost forgot the best part.
55:49Victoria Winter.
55:49Will you marry me?
56:04Yes!
56:05A thousand times yes!
56:07Woo!
56:07Yeah!
56:08Woo!
56:11Take my heart with hope
56:13for your hands
56:15I can spend all my days
56:19just trying to grab the food.
56:27That's for the Amber!
56:44You came.
56:46I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:48I came because I wanted
56:50to hear it from you.
56:52When word got out you left.
56:54Clients bailed.
56:56The board freaked.
56:58Numbers tanked.
56:59I couldn't stop it.
57:02You steered Maison Laveau
57:04into this storm, Holly.
57:05I know.
57:17I know.
57:17I know.
57:18I know.
57:22My father...
57:24The stress gave him a heart attack.
57:26He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:28I destroyed everything.
57:30I thought slashing costs
57:33would save us
57:34but instead I gutted the company.
57:38I don't mean for it to end like this.
57:41Maison Laveau isn't dead.
57:43I bought it.
57:44Last week.
57:46The brand.
57:48The archives.
57:49Even the debt.
57:50It's part of J'Ven now.
57:53If you'd like it,
57:54why would you do that?
57:55To make sure that no more women
57:57have to suffer
57:59because of policies like yours.
58:03You win, Victoria.
58:06I hope you do better than I did.
58:09I'll do it differently.
58:12Goodbye, Holly.
58:13Miss Wintour, I just, I wanted to thank you.
58:39Because of your campaign,
58:40my company gave me maternity leave.
58:43I can keep working and
58:45have my baby.
58:48You changed everything.
58:52Congratulations.
58:53Wishing you and your little one
58:55every happiness.
59:05Ready?
59:09Always.
59:13And now,
59:22Jovan's new collection.
