00:00No, no, no, no, no, no, the system crashed mid-upload.
00:13Half the collection is the wrong season.
00:16We're on everything.
00:2148 hours.
00:23If production starts with these botched designs,
00:26we're all dead.
00:27Not just fired.
00:28We're dead.
00:29Your company collapses.
00:31Our careers are over.
00:33Come out here and talk to us.
00:34We have 8 million tied up in this collection.
00:37I have a fashion editor from Moe.
00:39Come on, right now.
00:40One word for me, you're in some poison.
00:56Enough.
00:58Vic.
00:58Vic.
00:59Mia, Japanese indigo.
01:03Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.
01:08Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:10Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:1728 minutes.
01:1828 minutes?
01:19The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2227 now.
01:23Tick-tock.
01:24Tick-tock.
01:25Tick-tock.
01:25Tick-tock.
01:45And done.
01:45Crisis averted.
01:47I swear to god, you're not human.
01:4927 minutes.
01:51Holy shit.
01:52Pre-orders are flooding in.
01:54This will shatter every record.
02:02Oh, Vic.
02:03Are you okay?
02:04Just Brax and Hicks, nothing to-
02:05Oh, my god, your water broke.
02:09Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:15Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:16Oh, my god.
02:17Dad called.
02:19He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges
02:24since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:43That's my girl.
02:46Well, the company's yours now, Holly.
02:55But there's a condition.
02:58We need to slash costs immediately.
03:03Layoffs?
03:06Absent without leave.
03:09Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:11Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:19In fact, they deserve a promotion.
03:25No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:34Boss, the Milan collection crisis averted.
03:37Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:39Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:43Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
03:50Oh, my God, is this really happening?
03:53She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:55I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:03But Victoria-
04:04Don't worry about her. I'm not useless. Prego, there's no fire.
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.
04:24And 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.
04:38Mom, you may have to.
04:39You're going to that private school.
04:42No discussion.
04:44Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:46This job will keep us afloat.
04:49I love you, Mom.
04:50Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:05After all these years in your shadow, Victoria,
05:08I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:10Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:35What the hell?
05:37Listen up, everyone.
05:38Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:41Effective immediately.
05:43You can't just do that.
05:45She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:48They're a loss against this.
05:49Vic worked while in labor.
05:52She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance,
05:57these preggos are bleeding us dry.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:02Great timing.
06:07Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:10Clear out your desk now.
06:20You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:22I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:27Three times.
06:30Well, that'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...
06:45Mia, you...
06:48Feel 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.
07:03I wish things were different, Vic.
07:15I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:23What happens to my team?
07:26Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight
07:29working 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
07:37because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:40These jobs are their lifelines.
07:42Health insurance, paid maternity leave,
07:44basic human dignity.
07:45You can't just throw them away.
07:48Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:51No mandated paid maternity leave,
07:53no real protection, but hey,
07:55that's corporate America for you.
07:57Or we can shift the math.
08:01You sign, they stay,
08:03the budget works out.
08:05Think of it as...
08:07taking one for the team.
08:11Miranda's still drowning in her husband's deaths.
08:14And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:17They can't lose their jobs.
08:22Come on, Vic.
08:24You can say you care about them.
08:26Prove it.
08:26Prove it.
08:26Prove it.
08:26Prove it.
08:26Prove it.
08:38Don't respect that.
08:51Five grand.
09:03That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:05That's what I'm worth to them.
09:06Careful. I got you.
09:28Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:32Hi.
09:35High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:47So, it's true.
09:51Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Mison LeBeau's Milan collection.
09:57How 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.
10:20You're genius.
10:22My money.
10:23No corporate BS.
10:25No 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.
10:46Vincent Chevalier, wow!
10:48You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:53Got your spy here?
10:58Don'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.
11:09Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:12Rescuing a washed-up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:16Wow, 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?
11:27The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:31If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:36Shit, shit, shit!
11:39What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this?
11:48Actually, those were my designs.
11:53What did you just say?
11:55The spring collection.
11:57The Cartier pieces.
11:59I designed them.
12:01Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:03Oops.
12:05Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:08I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:12Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:18So what? Skitches get passed around all the time. It doesn't prove squat.
12:22Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:25Dress designer?
12:27And the logo?
12:29The EW, woven in. Victoria's signature mark.
12:31It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:32Hold me it. Explain it. Make me shut up.
12:34It's funny. All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing it over, they all have EW and GW similar too.
12:44Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter. Her newborn is Grace Winter.
12:50It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
12:55Is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
12:58Well, Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.
13:06The logo, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:12You lied to me.
13:13You lying little bitch!
13:14That promotion was for saving the company!
13:16Look at the logo again. It's not EW or GW. It's actually EW.
13:34The logo is for saving the company.
13:36Look at the logo again. It's not EW or GW.
13:39E.W. or G.W. It's actually two M's, M.M. for McMichael, my last name.
13:51See? One M flipped, one upright. It's not for Grace or Emily. It's mine.
14:00That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:03Oh my god, she's right. It does look more like two M's.
14:09You manipulate a bitch. You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:14You learned well, Mia. Maybe too well.
14:19You'll regret this.
14:22Come on, Vincent. We don't have to sink to their level.
14:26Okay. Then let me drive you home, Karen. My Ferrari's outside.
14:31I got this. You shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
14:39Congratulations on your promotion, Mia. Just take care of my under and poly, Mia.
14:48That's right. Get the hell out of my company. Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:54Oh, I'm Victoria.
15:03VIP invitation. Prepares fashion week. Front row. I think you'll find it. Enlightening.
15:10Every pregnant woman fired. All of us. Just like that. No severance. No warning. Nothing.
15:27But a box and a security escort.
15:35Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:38Their termination people weren't practically paid for your sign and bonus my writing star.
15:43Now, about Paris fashion week. Their designs are eagerly awaited.
15:51You should have kept your legs closed.
16:02Oh my god, mom. This is insane. I can't believe we're actually here.
16:06Victoria Wintour. The Nuclear Vic. Your mom's basically a legend. You know that, right?
16:14We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
16:18Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:23Wait. Maison Léveau?
16:26Well, 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?
16:39You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:42Does mommy dearest build you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:50Mom, is that true?
16:55Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:00Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour. Still pretending she matters.
17:08My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:12If Maison Léveau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:19Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:22Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:26That's gotta sting, huh?
17:28Exposed 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.
17:43That's enough.
17:47That's enough.
17:49You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.
17:54Look at her. A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
17:59That dress, it's a cheap knockoff.
18:05Wearing 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.
18:19We 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.
18:31Take your hands off her now.
18:36Vincent.
18:42You're dismissed.
18:50You all right?
18:55You all right?
18:57I'm full.
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?
19:10That you're so eager to trash her for?
19:13It's Chevenne.
19:15Mote Couture.
19:16Winter Collection.
19:17Not even released yet.
19:20Price tag?
19:22300,000.
19:23Wow!
19:25You gave her that.
19:26That's right.
19:28I 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!
19:40Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight, he's your walking trust fund.
19:44Victoria sleeping her weight at the top.
19:48It's just so predictably desperate.
19:55You really don't understand real talent, do you?
19:59For those of you who don't know me,
20:02I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:03CEO of Jevenne.
20:04And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:13I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:17Your brilliance, your principles, your passion.
20:21Victoria, 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.
20:40She won't let you down, boss.
20:42You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:48She's nothing but a has-been.
20:50The show is about to start.
20:53Your seats are waiting.
20:59Holy shit.
21:00The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:05Talk about a power couple.
21:07Make it run the entire industry.
21:09This isn't over, bitch.
21:11Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:23So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:30Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:35Some people, too.
21:40Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show,
21:43I 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.
21:54It's true.
21:55She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:58I've slaved away on those designs day and night.
22:04And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:11That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:14Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:18That's enough, Holly.
22:19Everyone 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.
22:29Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:34That's her real design strategy.
22:36Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:39And those kids she's so proud of?
22:41Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:42How dare you!
22:45Miss Jenkins, Miss McMichaels, it's a disaster in there.
22:52There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
22:55Not now.
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 Laval?
23:14Are you cancelling the show because of your incompetence?
23:16This is completely unprofessional.
23:18I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:22This is breach of contract.
23:26It's actually fixable.
23:29Mom, you can't seriously be thinking about helping you backstabbing vultures.
23:36Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:39Maison Villefaux appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:42Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled minutes before showtime.
23:45The question on everyone's mind, is this the end for the once prestigious fashion house?
23:54This show doesn't happen.
23:56You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
23:59We're talking billions, Holly.
24:01Billions.
24:15What's this?
24:27Now!
24:29How? 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.
24:40If 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!
24:54Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
25:10Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:13Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:17And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:21We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:23Excuse me.
25:35Excuse me.
25:37Excuse me.
25:39It's okay, punk. I'll be right back.
25:41What do you want, Mia?
25:53Vic, I really need your help.
25:56Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:58Look, I know you're furious. I would be too.
26:04But 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.
26:15Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out here.
26:21Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:24Yes, absolutely. And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:28Please, Vic, not for me. For them.
26:33I 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?
26:40They, they couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.
26:48Is that right?
26:50Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
26:55They do.
26:57Fine.
26:59I'll help.
27:01But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
27:04Not for you.
27:10Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter. The nuclear beck.
27:20I need scissors, thread and fresh lining fabric. Now.
27:30I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:33Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:35Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:41Would this work?
27:47Vincent, how did you...
27:50I figured you might need some supplies.
27:53So, I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
27:59This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Lavo are competitors. Why would you help them?
28:04I'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.
28:20It's yours now.
28:22I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:24Victoria.
28:26Then what do you want?
28:29You.
28:32What?
28:36You're a talent.
28:38You're a vision.
28:40Come and work as Joven.
28:42I'm in.
28:44I'll work for you.
28:46Just like that?
28:47Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Lavo.
28:53I hate it when I'm gone.
28:59I wish I was cool.
29:02Like the new girl at school.
29:04I regret it.
29:06So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get it.
29:08I won't be back.
29:11Don't ever change.
29:14I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:18She'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.
29:34Learn how to be myself.
29:39Five minutes till showtime.
29:40We made it.
29:42Woo!
29:46Woo!
29:54Well?
29:55Do we pull the plug or not?
29:57We're good.
29:58Everything's back on track.
30:00See?
30:01I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
30:03You've got twice your talent.
30:06Yeah.
30:07Right.
30:09This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:11You fix messes, not make them.
30:20To Victoria.
30:22The real hero of the night.
30:23Mom, you're insane.
30:24I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:39Couldn't have done it without you.
30:41You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
30:48Well, well, still hanging around. I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party. Fraud.
30:59Polly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:05What are you talking about?
31:07Just ask the models.
31:09Any of them.
31:11Oh, and Mia.
31:13Don't forget about our agreement.
31:15About Miranda and Pauline.
31:16Pauline.
31:17I-I won't.
31:23Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:31Speaking of new beginnings.
31:33Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:39I want to help.
31:40With her education.
31:42What?
31:43Vincent, that's too much. We barely know each other.
31:47Victoria.
31:49I've known you since we were 17.
31:53I remember watching you win that regional competition.
31:58In that silver dress.
32:00The one you made from scratch.
32:01I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:08You remember that?
32:10I remember everything.
32:13I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:21Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:23We were married.
32:26And then you worked.
32:27And then you were building your career.
32:29And then you were building your career.
32:31The timing was never right.
32:34Until now.
32:35Until now.
32:45I have been waiting.
32:4720 years to do this.
32:4820 years to do this.
33:02I should probably get this.
33:04Mia?
33:05God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:20That 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?
33:35The 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, the next face of the Maison Legault's Lensware.
33:46They're taking pitches now.
33:48If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:51For you.
33:52For the brand.
33:54Word is, Joven's in the running too.
33:56Land this.
33:58Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:00Seal the deal?
34:05I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:07I've got this, Holly.
34:09You won't regret it.
34:17God, who am I gonna do?
34:19I 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.
34:28If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria.
34:36Maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over.
34:39One more miracle over.
34:48You?
34:49Sigh...
34:53Sigh...
34:57Sigh...
34:59Sigh...
35:01Thanks for meeting me.
35:02Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.
35:05You mentioned Miranda and Pauline. Cut to the chase.
35:12We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux. Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
35:16Miranda's excellent with menswear. She can handle this without me.
35:18Please, wait. There's more to it.
35:20After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:24Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:27I've been fighting for them.
35:29Are you serious?
35:30Pauline's due any day now.
35:32Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot.
35:35If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:39Have you worked with Sean before?
35:41No, but I've heard you have.
35:43Ages ago. I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
35:48Actually, I was sketching in your tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison alone.
35:52Really? What concept?
35:54Well...
35:59Perfect. She's handing everything over without even realizing me.
36:03I'll use her design to save my ass and lay on this project.
36:07Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:22I 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?
36:37Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:43Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:46Of course, Vic.
36:48Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:54You need to think about it.
36:56Take all the time you need it.
36:58Mia.
37:00Don't make me regret trusting you.
37:02Again.
37:16Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:23Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:27The Sean Gosling one with the black satin lapels?
37:30That's the one.
37:31Can you check my home office?
37:33It 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...
37:44Shoulder.
37:48Instruction.
37:50Mom, are you okay?
37:56Miranda? Vic?
38:03Mom! Mom! What's going on?
38:06Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:09Miranda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:13Bills don't pay themselves.
38:16You met my husband.
38:18Old child with no paycheck.
38:20And now there's a newborn at home.
38:22Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the galsing project.
38:27What?
38:28Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:32After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:36No 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.
38:51What are the odds, right?
38:53And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:56Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:06And 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 job depended on me helping her.
39:26What?
39:28That bitch.
39:31This ends now.
39:32Damn it.
39:42Miss Michael.
39:44He'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 like this.
40:08I heard that.
40:10You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:12Then where is she now?
40:14Gone.
40:16Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:19Well at least you can actually design it.
40:26What the hell is going on here?
40:29Just a great disagreement. Everything's in control.
40:33The Gosling page, tell me you have something presentable.
40:39Of 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. This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:00If Shufin 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.
41:21Get me when you design me tomorrow morning.
41:23Or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:25I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:38I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:57Right on cue.
42:01Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:04Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:08The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:12She'll get her a sketch.
42:14And that's where we spring the trap.
42:29You're early.
42:30Bec, I really need that sketch.
42:38I said I'd help, not hand over my design.
42:44Polly's all over me about this.
42:46If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:51Still lying, Mia.
42:53You never learn.
42:54Guess it's payback time.
42:56So, do you want my help or not?
42:59I can walk you through it.
43:00Your design could be just as good.
43:02She's such a snake.
43:05Ugh!
43:06Bec, my stomach is killing me.
43:08Can you run to the pharmacy and get something please?
43:11Fine.
43:12But don't touch anything.
43:14I'm sorry about the survival of the fiddles.
43:42Survival of the fiddles.
43:56You just let her take your work?
43:58She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
44:01You 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.
44:13Oh, there's a revolution room.
44:27Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:34You're welcome, Mom.
44:43I want you and your team as your van.
44:48Full creative control.
44:51I'm Miranda.
44:52Your husband's dead.
44:53Handled.
44:54And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:58Mr. Chevalier, I...
45:01I'm Pauline.
45:03Your sister is in good hands.
45:05The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:07She's already prepping for her next surgery.
45:10Mr. Chevalier!
45:12Thank you!
45:13Don't thank me.
45:15Thank Victoria.
45:16I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:19Vincent, I...
45:22I don't even know what to say.
45:25It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:49I'm, I'm just...
45:50No, I know.
45:51In his face, he's not heated yet.
45:52No, nevereluia.
45:55But Buttons aren't…
45:56He's like working at all.
45:57No, he's just like sleeping.
45:58No, he's notushiced.
45:59It's about time to fight-time.
46:01Listen to all people standing across all the corners.
46:02Okay?
46:03No, he was all up.
46:04I was lucky enough.
46:05I'll see you on the right.
46:06You have to applaud for the inner police call.
46:07Come back on the crossing.
46:08Have tears for relief since I was in front of the 29th known party.
46:11And your heart was trying to encourage that before.
46:13You went up onçŸ,
46:14The second one on the stairs in it every door.
46:15Emails on everything at night.
46:16You're a good hora.
46:18and you're still here final tweaks the pitch goes out tomorrow
46:40you've got grace to sleep
46:45yeah and Emily's almost finished with her algebra
46:53maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all
46:58we're about to make history
47:08Maison Laveau sets the bar we don't follow trends we create
47:15satin black lapels nod to mr. Shawn Gosling's Met Gala moment a blend of
47:27tradition and boldness I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top
47:35what is that bitch doing here
47:45thank you mr. Jenkins for clearing out your best talent my company is thriving
47:52because of your generosity didn't expect to see you here I thought you'd be all
47:58tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes
48:04unlike some I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent you know Holly
48:11your fresh blood strategies work in wonders the office is so empty it echoes and the
48:19only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk
48:23pregnant women talk you know three exit please and I'm the CEO what's next a fake sale
48:31laugh all you want Holly you're about to see what real teamwork looks like and what real loyalty looks like
48:38Sean I'm glad you can make it we have something very special to show you
48:55Vic I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know congratulations
49:07thank you Shawn it's good to see you let's begin the pitches

49:19first up Mia McMichael Maison Laveau
49:30thank you next Victoria Miranda and Pauline
49:51beautiful work both things
50:03we'll need a few minutes to discuss
50:08after careful consideration we're awarding project to
50:17what the hell did you people put me in are you trying to kill me mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk
50:22who designed this Tuxedo did you even read the brief
50:28I don't know what the hell did you people put me in are you trying to kill me
50:34mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk who designed this Tuxedo did you even read the brief
50:41I mean did you you must have read the brief it's not complicated it says no synthetic blend I mean
50:47it must be some kind of mistake perhaps Mia overlooked something a mistake I could have ended up in the emergency room
50:53Victoria please tell these amateurs why you pulled your last decision
51:02you
51:16you
51:18you
51:23I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:27I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
51:30And that's why Victoria is the best.
51:32She actually pays attention.
51:34After reviewing all the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
51:38The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:45Mr. 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.
51:53Maybe 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.
52:22And so you know, I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
52:30Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:32We're suspending all collaborations.
52:35Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:47You're blacklisted.
52:49Victoria, please.
52:50Victoria, please.
52:59Victoria, please.
53:01I'll do anything.
53:02Please just help me save the company, the brand that you built for 15 years.
53:03You made your choices, Holly.
53:04Now you live with them.
53:05I thought we went too far.
53:13Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game-changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:23Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
53:37The best comeback in fashion history and to the women who made it happen.
53:54And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
54:02Mom, you might want to see this.
54:04Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:14Happy birthday to you.
54:18Guys, look.
54:22Maison Laveau on the brink, scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:34Ouch.
54:35I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:38It's strange, isn't it?
54:40I gave them everything.
54:49Late nights, weekends, all the best years, and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:56Now it's all crashing down.
54:58I thought I'd feel vindicated.
55:00Honestly, 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?
55:11Look at this.
55:14Joven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
55:19Victoria, this is you.
55:21You did this.
55:24Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
55:30Not 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.
56:04A thousand times, yes.
56:05Woo!
56:06Woo!
56:07Woo!
56:28Happy birthday ever!
56:29You came.
56:30I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:32I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:34When word got out, you left, clients bailed.
56:37The board freaked, numbers tanked.
56:38I couldn't stop it.
56:39You stood Maison Leveaux.
56:40No.
56:41I never loved it.
56:42I never loved it.
56:43No.
56:44No.
56:45I never loved it.
56:46I never loved it.
56:47I never loved it.
56:48I never loved it.
56:49You came.
56:50I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:51I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:52When word got out, you left.
56:54Clients bailed.
56:55The board freaked.
56:56Numbers tanked.
56:57I couldn't stop it.
57:00You stood Maison Leveaux.
57:01You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
57:16I know. I know.
57:21My father...
57:24The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:28I destroyed everything.
57:31My thoughts slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:37I don't mean for it to end like this.
57:41Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it. Last week.
57:46The brand, the archives, even the debt. It's part of Given now.
57:53You bought it? Why would you do that?
57:56To make sure that no more women have to suffer because 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.
58:26Miss Wintour, I just... I wanted to thank you.
58:38Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
58:43I can keep working and have my baby.
58:48You changed everything.
58:51Congratulations.
58:53Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
59:05Ready?
59:06Always.
59:07Always.
59:08Always.
59:09And now, Jovan's new collection.
59:23The new collection.
59:24The new collection.
