01:57Just brax and hicks.

01:58Nothing too.

01:59Oh my god.

02:00Your water broke.

02:02Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire country.

02:05Multi-tasking is my superpower pumpkin.

02:06Dad called.

02:07He wanted to know if he should come, but...

02:08I don't know.

02:09No.

02:10No.

02:36No.

02:37No.

02:38No.

02:39Yeah.

02:40Well, the company's yours now Hollee.

02:43But there's... a condition.

02:46No.

02:47We need to slash costs immediately.

02:51Ja, wait.

02:53No.

02:54No.

02:55No, no.

02:56No.

02:57No.

02:58No.

02:59No.

03:00No.

03:01Immediately.

03:03Layoffs?

03:07Absent without leave.

03:09Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.

03:13Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster,

03:17they get immunity.

03:19In fact, um,

03:21they deserve a promotion.

03:26No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company

03:29since she's not even there.

03:33Boss,

03:35the Milan collection crisis? Averted.

03:37Pre-orders are pouring in.

03:39Ew, you saved the entire collection?

03:41Impressive.

03:43Oh, actually,

03:45how about I make you the new creative director?

03:47Starting today.

03:49Oh, my God,

03:51is this really happening?

03:53She's offering me Victoria's job?

03:55I can finally get rid of that

03:57bitch hanging over my head?

04:03But, Victoria...

04:05Don't worry about her.

04:06I'm not useless.

04:07Prego in a snow fire.

04:13You know that collection I just rescued, Em?

04:17I hid something in the design.

04:19Your initials and now little graces.

04:21Hold them right into the fabric.

04:29And that's gonna give him a long runway?

04:31Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.

04:35Enough for your full tuition at private school.

04:37Mom, you ain't have to.

04:39We're going to that private school.

04:41No discussion.

04:43Your sister and I will manage just fine.

04:45This job will keep us afloat.

04:47I love you, Mom.

04:49I love you, Mom.

05:01Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?

05:05After all these years in your shadow, Victoria,

05:09I'm finally taking what I deserve.

05:25Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.

05:27What the hell?

05:37Listen up, everyone.

05:39Victoria Wintour is terminated.

05:41Effective immediately.

05:43You can't just do that.

05:45She's in the hospital having her baby.

05:47There are laws against this.

05:49Vic worked while in labor.

05:51She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.

05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance,

05:57these preggles are bleeding us dry.

06:01Everything okay here?

06:05Great timing.

06:07Victoria Wintour, you're fired.

06:11Clear out your desk now.

06:21You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?

06:23I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.

06:27Three times.

06:31Well...

06:33That's ancient history.

06:35The board wants fresh blood.

06:37And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.

06:43What?

06:45I'm the one who...

06:47Mia, you...

06:49Feel that curve?

06:51That's your signature.

06:53That's what makes it Maison Laveau.

06:59How could you?

07:01I taught you everything you know.

07:03I wish things were different, Vic.

07:07I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.

07:17What happens to my team?

07:21Miranda 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 loo.

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...

07:49Legally speaking, we can.

07:51No mandated paid maternity leave.

07:53No real protection.

07:54But hey...

07:55That's corporate America for you.

07:57Or...

07:58We can shift the math.

08:00You sign.

08:02They 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.

08:24You say you care about them.

08:26Prove it.

08:43I can't get that for granted in my life.

08:46This is...

09:00I don't know.

09:03Five grand.

09:05That's my severance package after fifteen years!

09:07That's what I'm worth to them.

09:13Careful. I got you.

09:28Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?

09:33Hi. High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?

09:41So, it's true. Grey Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving

09:56Maison Laveau's Milan collection. How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded

10:06executives anymore? Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.

10:13What are you getting at exactly? I'm talking about you and me. Partners. Your genius, my money.

10:25No corporate BS. No one holding you back.

10:32I've got a baby to think about now. And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery. Just saying.

10:44Vincent Chevalier, wow. You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.

10:54Got your spy here?

10:56Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing. Triple her salary, corner office.

11:06You know, before the vultures at LB or Chanel swoop in.

11:10Oh, so you're dumpster diving now. Rescuing 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.

11:23I mean, the jacket, it's Victoria's spring collection, right? The earrings, it's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.

11:31If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.

11:38Shit, shit, shit.

11:40What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this.

11:44Actually, those were my designs.

11:54What did you just say?

11:56The spring collection. The Cartier pieces. I designed them. Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.

12:05Oops, looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.

12:09I thought you were better than this, Mia.

12:13Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.

12:23So what? Sketches get passed around all the time. It doesn't prove squat.

12:27Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?

12:30The dress designer?

12:32And the logo?

12:36The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.

12:40It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.

12:43Well, Mia, explain it. Make me shut up.

12:50It's funny. All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their work.

12:56They all have EW and GW so many, too. Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter. Her newborn is Grace Winter.

13:06It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.

13:11Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?

13:14Well, Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.

13:20The logo, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.

13:28You lying little bitch!

13:30That promotion was for saving the company.

13:37Look at the logo again. It's not EW or GW. It's actually two Ms.

13:45MM for McMichael, my last name.

13:52See? One M flipped. One upright.

13:55It's not for Grace or Emily.

13:59It's mine.

14:01That is absolutely ridiculous.

14:04Oh my god, she's right. It does look more like two Ms.

14:09You manipulative bitch. You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.

14:14Okay.

14:16You learned well, Mia.

14:18Maybe too well.

14:20You'll regret this.

14:23Markinson.

14:25We don't have to sink to that level.

14:27Okay.

14:29Then let me drive you home, Carrie.

14:31My Ferrari's outside.

14:33I got this. You shouldn't be carrying it anymore.

14:40Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.

14:42Just take care of Amanda and Paulie, Mia.

14:49That's right. Get the hell out of my company.

14:52Go leech your 401k somewhere else.

14:54Oh, I'm Victoria.

15:04VIP invitation for Paris Fashion Week.

15:07Front row. I 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 ass group.

15:36Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.

15:40Their termination people won't practically pay for your sign and bonus my writing star.

15:44Now, about Paris Fashion Week.

15:47Their designs are eagerly awaited.

15:52You should have kept your legs closed.

15:54Step 3.

15:55Step 3.

16:04Oh my god, mom.

16:06This is insane.

16:07I can't believe we're actually here.

16:09Victoria Winter.

16:10The Nuclear Vic.

16:12Your mom's basically a legend.

16:13You know that, right?

16:14We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.

16:19Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.

16:24Wait, Miss Oléveau?

16:27Well, well, the queen without her crown graces us with her presence.

16:31Brave of you to show up here.

16:33What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?

16:38Leaving so soon? You haven't introduced me to your princess.

16:42Has Mommy Dearest filled you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?

16:51Mom, is that true?

16:56Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.

17:01Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter. Still pretending she matters.

17:05My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.

17:13If Maison Léveau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.

17:20Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.

17:24Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.

17:26That's got a sting, huh? Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero.

17:33But 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.

17:42That's enough.

17:48That's enough.

17:50You'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.

18:01That dress, it's a cheap knockoff.

18:04Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.

18:10It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.

18:16What the hell do you think you're doing?

18:19Remove that dress.

18:21We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.

18:25Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!

18:28Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.

18:32Take your hands off her now.

18:35Vincent.

18:42You're dismissed.

18:52You alright?

18:56You alright?

18:58I'm fine.

18:59Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.

19:00The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?

19:05What the hell is he doing with Victoria?

19:09That knockoff?

19:10That you're so eager to trash her for?

19:13It's Chevenne.

19:15Haute couture.

19:17Winter collection.

19:19Not even released yet.

19:20Price tag?

19:21$300,000.

19:24Wow!

19:26You gave her that.

19:27That's right.

19:29You did.

19:31I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.

19:35Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.

19:38Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.

19:41Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.

19:43He's her walking trust fund.

19:47Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.

19:50It's just so predictably desperate.

19:52You really don't understand real talent, do you?

20:00For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier.

20:05CEO of Jevenne.

20:08And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.

20:14I've followed your career from a distance for years.

20:18Your brilliance.

20:20Your principles.

20:22Your passion.

20:24Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.

20:28Mom, did you know about this?

20:30I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.

20:34But in the meantime, what I will do

20:37is 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.

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?

21:06Talk about a power couple.

21:08They 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 seriously been in love with my mom since high school?

21:27Some talents you recognize immediately.

21:34Some people, too.

21:37Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.

21:41This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.

21:45She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.

21:51It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.

21:54I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.

21:56And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.

21:59That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?

22:01Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.

22:04That's enough, Holly.

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.

22:08Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?

22:09That's her real design strategy.

22:12Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.

22:13And the reality of this is something that we think she was going to do with her.

22:18You're not too much.

22:19You know you're an artist.

22:20You can't use yourager.

22:22You just have two kinds of techniques.

22:24And now you've got four, two kinds of techniques, and you can't read all the time.

22:25I don't know if you can turn off the subtitles.

22:27I want it.

22:28I want it.

22:29I want it.

22:31But when I'm a pilot.

31:54watching you win that regional competition

31:57in that silver dress

32:04when you talked about

32:06changing the fashion world

32:08you remember that

32:10I remember everything

32:12I

32:14I

32:15have followed your career

32:17all these years

32:18just

32:19hoping that our paths would cross again

32:21why didn't you ever reach out

32:23you were married

32:25and then you weren't

32:27and then you were building your career

32:30and

32:31timing

32:32just

32:33was never right

32:34until now

32:36now

32:45I have been waiting

32:47twenty years to do this

32:49I should probably get this

33:02I should probably get this

33:04but we get this

33:13Mia

33:17God I was so right about firing Victoria

33:20that Milan disaster you turned around

33:22absolute magic

33:23and now I have an opportunity that can put you on the map for good

33:27Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet

33:34Sean Gosling?

33:35The Sean Gosling?

33:36The very one

33:38three-time Oscar winner

33:39People's Sexiest Man Alive

33:41and if we play our cards right

33:43the next face of the Maison de Beauvais

33:45they're taking pitches now

33:48if he picks yours

33:50this changes everything

33:51for you

33:52for the brand

33:53where it is

33:54Joven's in the running too

33:56Land this

33:58Vincent and his poor Victoria are done

34:04Seal the deal

34:05I'll bump your pay by twenty percent

34:07I've got this Holly

34:09you won't regret it

34:10God what am I gonna do?

34:19I can't design menswear

34:21I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help

34:24Miranda and Felina are gone too

34:26I'm completely on my own

34:29If Holly bought that I saved Milan

34:33and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria

34:36maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over

35:01Thanks for meeting me

35:02I know things are complicated between us

35:04You mentioned Miranda and Pauline

35:06Cut to the chase

35:11We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks

35:13Miranda and Pauline are also named

35:15Miranda's excellent with menswear

35:16she can handle this without me

35:17Please wait there's more to it

35:19After Paris Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster

35:23Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block

35:26I've been fighting for them

35:28Are you serious?

35:29Pauline's due any day now

35:31Trust me I know

35:33this project is our only shot

35:35If we land it

35:36I can convince Pauline to keep them both

35:38Have you worked with Sean before?

35:40No, but I've heard you have

35:42Ages ago

35:44I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala

35:47Actually I was sketching in your tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison alone

35:52Really? What concept?

35:54Well...

35:55Perfect! She's handing everything over without even realizing

36:03I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project

36:09Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?

36:24I do. Actually I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau

36:28Wait... Miranda went on maternity leave last week. How exactly is she part of this project?

36:32Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home

36:43Is the company covering her health insurance?

36:45Of course, Vic. Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here

36:51Take all the time you need

36:58Mia

37:00Don't make me regret trusting you

37:02Again

37:21Pumpkin, I need a quick favor

37:23Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?

37:27The Sean Gosselin one with the black satin lapels?

37:30That's the one

37:32Can 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...

37:48Shoulder

37:49Instruction

37:51Mom, are you okay?

37:57Miranda? Vic?

38:04Mom! Mom! What's going on?

38:07Emily, I'll call you right back

38:11Miranda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?

38:15Bill's don't pay themselves

38:17You met my husband

38:18Old child with no paycheck

38:20And now there's a newborn at home

38:23Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project

38:27What?

38:29Is that the story she's spinning now?

38:33After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company

38:37No severance, no copper and nothing

38:39Just gone

38:41That's completely illegal

38:44Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause

38:49All at once

38:50What are the odds, right?

38:52And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours down here

38:56Her sister medical bills keep piling up

39:03And Mia knew about all this

39:08Mia

39:10Front row seat when Holly made an announcement

39:13Didn't even blink

39:14Too busy admiring her shiny new create and direct title

39:19She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me

39:23Telling me her draw depended on me helping her

39:26What?

39:28That bitch!

39:31This ends now

39:32Damn it!

39:44Miss Michael

39:45He's just arrived from Milan

39:47We need approval by name for them

39:49Can't you see I'm working on something important?

39:51What are you all looking at? Get back to work!

40:04Victoria would never treat us

40:08I heard that

40:10You think Victoria is so perfect?

40:12Then where is she now?

40:14Gone!

40:15Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that

40:18There's the door

40:19Well at least she could actually design it

40:22Yeah

40:27What the hell is going on here?

40:29Just a great disagreement

40:31Everything's under control

40:33The Gosling page tell me you have something presentable

40:40Of course I'm just finalizing some details

40:42Show me

40:44It's not quite ready

40:45Now

40:50This 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 Shofen gets this deal instead of us

41:06What's that?

41:07It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design

41:16I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil

41:20Get me when you design me till morning morning

41:23Or pack up your desk by lunch

41:24I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage

41:25I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage

41:42I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage

41:57Right on cue

41:58I still can't believe I'm using this as a

42:01Need 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

42:14And that's where we spring the trap

42:15You're early

42:29Thick

42:31I really need that sketch

42:32I said I'd help

42:42Not hand over my design

42:44Holly's all over me about this

42:46If I don't have something tonight

42:48Miranda and Pauline are toast

42:51Still lying Mia

42:53You never learn

42:55Guess it's payback time

42:57So, do you want my help or not?

42:58Or not

42:59I can walk you through it

43:00Your design could be just as good

43:02She's 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

43:28Sorry, man

43:42Survival of the fittest

43:43You just let her take your work?

43:57She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have

44:02You know, boss

44:04We could pitch ourselves

44:06Go after the same clients

44:08Show them what real design looks like

44:10We're not out yet

44:12We're not out yet

44:25I heard there's a revolution, bro

44:31Figure you can use all the backup you can get

44:37You're welcome, mom

44:40I want you and your team as your van

44:46Full creative control

44:49I'm Miranda

44:51Your husband's debt

44:53Handled

44:55And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome

44:58Mr. Chevalier, I...

45:00I'm Pauline

45:02Your sister is in good hands

45:04The best heart surgeon in the country

45:06Is already prepping for her next surgery

45:09Mr. Chevalier, thank you

45:12Don't thank me

45:14Thank Victoria

45:16I'm just looking out for the people she believes in

45:19Vincent, I...

45:21I don't even know what to say

45:24It's about time

45:26You all get what you deserve

45:27You all get what you deserve

45:51You all get what you deserve

46:22And you're still here?

46:38Final tweaks.

46:39The pitch goes out tomorrow.

46:44You've got Grace to sleep.

46:49Yeah.

46:49And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.

46:56Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.

47:06We're about to make history.

47:10Maison Laveau sets the bar.

47:13We don't follow trends.

47:15We create them.

47:21Satin black lapels.

47:23Nod 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.

47:33What 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.

47:55I didn't expect to see you here.

47:58We thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.

48:06Unlike 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.

48:24Three X and threes and a viable 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.

48:37Sean, 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.

49:06Thank 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.

49:17You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.

49:28First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.

49:48Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.

49:51Beautiful work.

50:02Both themes.

50:07We'll need a few minutes to discuss.

50:08After careful consideration, we're awarding Project 2.

50:20Maison Laveau.

50:21This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?

50:29what the hell did you people put me in are you trying to kill me mr. Gosling has a serious

50:45allergy to synthetic silk who designed this tuxedo did you even read the brief

50:50I mean did you you must have read the brief it's not complicated it says no synthetic

50:59blends I mean must be some kind of mistake perhaps Mia overlooked something a mistake

51:05I could have ended up in the emergency room Victoria please tell these amateurs

51:13but you pulled your last I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic

51:27I'd never risk mr. Gosling's health for a deadline and that's why Victoria is the

51:31best she actually pays attention after reviewing all the entries the committee

51:37has reached a decision the Commission goes to Victoria Miranda and Pauline

51:42Mr. Gosling it was just a slip-up me as design was the front runner all along

51:50that's why they picked her first maybe 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 so you know I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft

52:30Maison Laveau's reputation is toast we're suspending all collaborations

52:42so you don't even think about trying to land anywhere else you're blacklisted

52:49Victoria please

52:55Victoria please

52:57Victoria please

53:03I'll do anything please just help me save the company the brand you built for 15 years

53:10you made your choices Holly now you live with them

53:14why don't we went too far

53:18Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joe Bench

53:21social media is already calling it the winter revolution

53:28Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joe Bench

53:32social media is already calling it the winter revolution

53:35to the best comeback in fashion history and to the women who made it happen

53:42and to the maternity leave that actually means something

53:49mom you might want to see this

54:03mom you might want to see this

54:09time

54:16happy birthday Victoria

54:18happy birthday to you

54:26guys, look

54:29Maison Livaud on the Brink

54:31The Scandal pushes fashion giant toward bankruptcy

54:34Ouch

54:35I guess karma has a sense of humor

54:38It's strange, isn't it?

54:47I gave them everything. Late nights, weekends, all the best years, and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.

54:56Now it's all crashing down. I thought I'd feel vindicated.

55:00But honestly, it's a weird mix.

55:03Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.

55:07Look, who said that our best years are behind us? Look at this!

55:13Juvent pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.

55:19Victoria, this is you. You 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.

55:32Careful, Vincent. You almost forgot the best part.

55:40Victoria Winter.

55:41Victoria Winter.

55:53Will you marry me?

55:54Yes! A thousand times yes!

56:07Woo!

56:27Happy birthday ever!

56:37You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.

56:48I came because I wanted to hear it from you.

56:52When word got out you left. Clients bailed. The board freaked.

56:58Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.

57:02You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.

57:06I know. I know.

57:21My father, the stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.

57:28I destroyed everything.

57:31I thought slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.

57:37I don't mean for it to end like this.

57:40Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it. Last week.

57:46The brand, the archives, even the debt. It's part of Given now.

57:52If you want it, why would you do that?

57:55To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.

58:01You win, Victoria. I hope you do better than I did.

58:08I'll do it differently. Goodbye, Holly.

58:13Miss Winter. I just... I wanted to thank you.

58:25Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave. I can keep working and have my baby. You changed everything. Congratulations. Wishing you and your little one everything.

58:42Happy happiness.

59:05Ready?

59:09Always.

59:21And now, Jovan's new collection.
