00:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the system crashed mid-upload.
00:14Half the collection is the wrong season.
00:16We're on everything.
00:18No.
00:20All the runaways in 48 hours.
00:24If production starts with these botched designs,
00:26we're all dead.
00:28Not just fired.
00:29Your company collapses.
00:31Our careers are over.
00:33Come out here and talk to us.
00:35We have eight million tied up in this collection.
00:37I have a fashion editor from Moe.
00:39Right now.
00:40One word for me, your interest is poison.
00:57Enough.
00:58Vic!
01:00Mia, Japanese Indigo.
01:04Miranda, call production, emergency protocol seven.
01:08Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:14Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:1828 minutes?
01:20The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2227 now.
01:24Tick tock.

02:05I swear to god you're human.
02:06I swear to god you're human.
02:07Just Brax and Hicks, nothing to-
02:12Oh my god, your water broke.
02:21Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:25Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:30Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but...
02:34I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistant's been more comfortable than ours.
02:42That's my girl.
02:53Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
02:58We need to slash costs immediately.
03:02Layoffs?
03:04Absent without leave.
03:09Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:13Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:19In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:23No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:30Boss, the Milan collection crisis?
03:36Averted.
03:37Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:38Ew, you saved the entire collection?
03:40Impressive.
03:41Impressive.
03:42Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
03:50Oh, my God.
03:50Oh, my God, is this really happening?
03:52She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:55I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
03:59Oh, my God!
04:01Oh, my God at this夜.
04:03Oh, my God at this.
04:04Oh, my God!
04:05Oh, my God.
04:07You know that collection I just rescued Em?
04:16I hid something in the design.
04:19Your initials and now little graces, hold them right into the fabric.
04:25And that's going to be a long runway?
04:31Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial, enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:37Mom, you ain't have to.
04:40You'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.
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.
05:12Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:19What the hell?
05:21Listen up, everyone.
05:22Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:23Effective immediately.
05:24You can't just do that.
05:25She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:26They're a loss against this.
05:27Vic worked while in labor.
05:28She's the creative backbone of Maison Nouveau.
05:34Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:35These preggles are bleeding us dry.
05:36Everything okay here?
05:37No.
05:38No.
05:39No.
05:40No.
05:41No.
05:42No.
05:43No.
05:44No.
05:45No.
05:46No.
05:47No.
05:48No.
05:49No.
05:50No.
05:51Thanks, Rob.
05:52bones.
05:53No.
05:54Laughing.
05:55No.
05:56No.
05:57No.
05:58No.
05:59No.
06:00No.
06:01No.
06:03No.
06:04No.
06:05No.
06:06No.
06:07No.
06:08No.
06:09No.
06:10No.
06:11Clear out your desk, now.
06:20You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:23I saved this company three times when your father could have made 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.
06:41What?
06:44I'm the one who...
06:47Mia, you...
06:50Feel that curve?
06:52That's her signature.
06:54That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:00How could you?
07:02I taught you everything you know.
07:04I wish things were different, Vic.
07:15I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:18What happens to my team?
07:24Miranda 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.
07:34Pauline 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!
07:47Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:51No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:58Or we can shift the math.
08:01You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:05Think of it as...
08:08Taking 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.
08:23Come on, Vic. You say you care about them.
08:26Prove it.
08:35No.
09:01Five grand.
09:02That's my seven to package after 15 years.
09:05That's what I'm worth to them.
09:21Careful.
09:23I got you.
09:29Vincent?
09:31Vincent Chevalier?
09:33Hi.
09:36High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:48So.
09:50It's true.
09:52Great 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.
10:12What are you getting at exactly?
10:14I'm talking about you and me.
10:20Partners.
10:22You're genius.
10:23My money.
10:25No corporate BS.
10:27No one holding you back.
10:28I've got a baby to think about now.
10:29And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:42Just saying.
10:44Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:45I didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:50You got your thigh here?
10:52just strolling into the office.
10:54Got your spy here?
10:58Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria
11:00your soft landing, triple her salary, corner office.
11:07You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:11Oh, 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
11:19considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:22I mean, the jacket, it's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:28The earrings, it's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:31If her work is so far beneath you,
11:34maybe you should just strip.
11:38Shit, shit, shit.
11:40What are you talking about?
11:41Victoria designed all of this.
11:49Actually, those were my designs.
11:52What did you just say?
11:56The spring collection.
11:58The Cartier pieces.
12:00I designed them.
12:01Under your supervision, of course,
12:03but they came from me.
12:05Oops.
12:06Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:09I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:11Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:23So what?
12:24Sketches get past her and all the time.
12:25It doesn't prove squat.
12:27Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:30The dress design.
12:31And the logo.
12:36The EW woven in Victoria's signature mark.
12:39It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:42No, Mia.
12:44Explain it.
12:44Make me shut up.
12:45No.
12:46It'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.
12:58Victoria'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.
13:20The logo, it's, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:27You lying little bitch.
13:29That promotion was for saving the company.
13:36Look at the logo again.
13:38It's not EW or GW.
13:43It's actually two M's, MM, for McMichael, my last name.
13:52See?
13:53One M flipped, one upright.
13:56It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:59It's mine.
14:01That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:02Oh my god, she's right.
14:05It does look more like two M's.
14:09You manipulative bitch.
14:10You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:15You learned well, Mia.
14:18Maybe too well.
14:19You'll regret this.
14:22Come on, Vincent.
14:24We don't have to sink to that logo.
14:27Okay.
14:28Then let me drive you home, Karen.
14:30My Ferrari's outside.
14:32And I got this.
14:33You shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
14:39Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:42That's right, get the hell out of my company.
14:51Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:56Oh, I'm Victoria.
15:03VIP invitation, Paris Fashion Week.
15:07Front row, I think you'll find it.
15:10You're enlightening.
15:17Every pregnant woman fired, all of us, just like that.
15:24No severance, no warning, nothing, but a box and a security escort.
15:31Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:38Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign and bonus my writing star.
15:45Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
15:46Your designs are eagerly awaited.
15:48You should have kept your legs closed.
15:53Oh my god, mom.
15:55This is insane.
15:56I can't believe we're actually here.
15:57Victoria Wintour.
15:58It's a nuclear vic.
15:59Your mom's basically a legend.
16:00You know that, right?
16:01We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison-Levaux.
16:02Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:09Wait, Maison-Levaux?
16:10Wait, Maison-Levaux?
16:11Well, well, the queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
16:16Brave of you to show up here.
16:17What's next?
16:18Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:19What?
16:20Leaving so soon?
16:21You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:23Has mommy dearest to build you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:24Wait.
16:25Mom, is that true?
16:26No.
16:27No.
16:28No.
16:29No.
16:30No.
16:31No.
16:32No.
16:33No.
16:34No.
16:35No.
16:36No.
16:37No.
16:38No.
16:39No.
16:40No.
16:41No.
16:42No.
16:43No.
16:44No.
16:45No.
16:46No.
16:47No.
16:48No.
16:49No.
16:50No.
16:51No.
16:52No.
16:53No.
16:54No.
16:55No.
16:56No.
16:57No.
16:58No.
16:59No.
17:00No.
17:01No.
17:02No.
17:03No.
17:04No.
17:05No.
17:06No.
17:07No.
17:08No.
17:09No.
17:10No.
17:11No.
17:12No.
17:13No.
17:14No.
17:15No.
17:16No.
17:17No.
17:18No.
17:19No.
17:20It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:23Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:27That's got to sting, huh?
17:29Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero.
17:34But hey, good news.
17:35There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:39If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:43That's enough.
17:48That's enough.
17:48You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:52You never belonged in this world.
17:55Look at her.
17:56A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:00That dress, it's a cheap knockoff.
18:06Wearing 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?
18:17Remove that dress.
18:21We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:25Hey, stop it.
18:26Let go of my mom.
18:28Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:32Take your hands off her now.
18:36Vincent.
18:37Vincent.
18:37You're dismissed.
18:43You're dismissed.
18:52You all right?
18:56You all right?
18:57Lookin' flip.
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 here to trash her for?
19:13It's Chevenne.
19:15Mote Couture.
19:17Winter Collection.
19:17Not even released yet.
19:21Price tag?
19:23$300,000.
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.
19:34Oh my god, everyone, mystery solved.
19:37Victoria'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.
19:49It's just so predictably desperate.
19:56You really don't understand real talent, do you?
20:00For those of you who don't know me,
20:02I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:05CEO of Chevenne.
20:09And yes,
20:10I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:14I have 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.
20:27Mom, did you know about this?
20:29Now, I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:34But in the meantime, what I will do
20:36is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:41She won't let you down, boss.
20:46You'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?
21:05Talk about a power couple.
21:07They could run the entire industry.
21:08This isn't over, bitch.
21:12Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:23So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:26Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:35Some people, too.
21:41Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show,
21:44I 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.
21:53It's true.
21:56She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:59I've slaved away on those designs.
22:02Day and night.
22:05And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:12That'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.
22:20Everyone thinks you're this creative genius,
22:24but I know what you really are.
22:26Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:30Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:35That's her real design strategy.
22:37Stop it, Holly.
22:38You're embarrassing yourself.
22:39And those kids she's so proud of?
22:41Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:45How get you?
22:46Miss Jenkins, Miss McMichaels, it's a disaster in there.
22:53There's something wrong with the collection.
22:55It's the fabric.
22:56Not now.
23:02The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:06The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:09We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:12Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Mauveau?
23:14Are you canceling 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.
23:30Wow.
23:31You can't seriously be thinking about helping you backstabbing vultures.
23:34Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:39Maison Mauveau appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:42Sources say the entire collection needed to cancel minutes before showtime.
23:46The question on everyone's mind, is this the end for the once prestigious fashion books?
23:55This show doesn't happen.
23:57You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
24:00We're talking billions, Holly.
24:02Billions.
24:03What's this?
24:28Now.
24:28How?
24:30The 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?
25:14Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:17And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:22We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:24What do you want, Mia?
25:25What do you want?
25:25Excuse me.
25:26Excuse me.
25:27It's okay, Pum.
25:28I'll be right back.
25:30What do you want, Mia?
25:31Vic, I really need your help.
25:32Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:34Excuse me.
25:35Excuse me.
25:36Excuse me.
25:37Excuse me.
25:38It's okay, Pum.
25:39I'll be right back.
25:40What do you want, Mia?
25:43What do you want, Mia?
25:44Vic, I really need your help.
25:45Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:59Look, I know you're furious.
26:03I would be too.
26:04But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
26:07What about them?
26:08Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:11If we tank, they're done.
26:13Holly 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.
26:26And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:29Please, Vic, not for me.
26:31For them.
26:32That's good.
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?
26:44They...they couldn't make it.
26:46Holly cut the travel budget.
26:49Is that right?
26:51Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
26:56They do.
26:58Fine.
27:00I'll help.
27:01But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
27:04Not for you.
27:05Oh my god.
27:06It's Victoria Winter.
27:07The nuclear beck.
27:08I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric.
27:10Now.
27:11I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:12Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:14Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:16Would this work?
27:17Would this work?
27:18No.
27:19No.
27:20Instant.
27:21Vincent.
27:22How did you...
27:23Vincent.
27:24How did you...
27:26I figured you might need some supplies?
27:27So...
27:28I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency room.
27:29I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:30I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:31Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:32I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:33Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:34Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:36Would this work?
27:37Vincent.
27:38Vincent.
27:39How did you...
27:40I figured you might need some supplies.
27:41So...
27:42I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
27:44This is perfect, but...
27:45Joven and Maison Lavo are competitors.
27:46Why would you help them?
27:47No.
27:48No.
27:49No.
27:50No.
27:51No.
27:52No.
27:53No.
27:54No.
27:55No.
27:56No.
27:57No.
27:58No.
27:59No.
28:00No.
28:01No.
28:02No.
28:03No.
28:04No.
28:05I'm not helping them.
28:08I'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.
28:17Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:20It's yours now.
28:22I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:25Then what do you want?
28:28You.
28:30What?
28:32What?
28:36Your talent.
28:38Your vision.
28:40Come and work as Joven.
28:42I'm in.
28:44I'll work for you.
28:46Just like that?
28:47Just like that.
28:48Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Labelle.
29:02Like the new girl at school.
29:04I regret it.
29:05So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get it.
29:09I won't be back.
29:11Don't ever change.
29:15I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:19She's doing it in minutes.
29:21What would have taken us hours?
29:23Whoa.
29:24No 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 show time.
29:41We made it.
29:54Well?
29:55Did we pull the plug or not?
29:57We're good.
29:58Everything's back on track.
29:59See?
30:01I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
30:03You've got twice her talent.
30:06Yeah.
30:07Right.
30:08This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:11You fix this, it's not make them.
30:20To Victoria.
30:22The real hero of the night.
30:24Well, you're insane.
30:25I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:40Couldn't have done it without you.
30:42You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office
30:48bromance.
30:49Well, well, still hanging around.
30:54I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
31:00Fraud.
31:01Polly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:06What are you talking about?
31:08Just ask the models.
31:09Any of them.
31:10Oh, and Mia, don't forget about our agreement.
31:16About Miranda and Pauline, I won't.
31:24Two new beginnings at Chauvet.
31:32Speaking of new beginnings, Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:40I want to help with their education.
31:43What?
31:44Vincent, that's too much.
31:45We 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.
32:02I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:08Do you remember that?
32:11I 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?
32:23Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:25You were married, and then you weren't, and then you were building your career.
32:31The timing was never right until now.
32:46I have been waiting for 20 years to do this.
33:03I should probably get this.
33:14Mia?
33:18God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:20That Milan disaster you turned around, absolute magic.
33:24And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
33:29Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:35Sean Gosling?
33:36The Sean Gosling?
33:37The very one.
33:39Three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive, and if we play our cards right,
33:44the next face of the Maison of Bowes and Endswear.
33:47They're taking pitches now.
33:48If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:52For you, for the brand.
33:53Where it is, Jovan's in the running too.
33:57Land this, Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:05Seal the deal, I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:07I've got this, Holly.
34:10You won't regret it.
34:11God, what am I going to do?
34:20I can't design menswear.
34:22I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:25Miranda and Pauline are gone too.
34:27I'm completely on my own.
34:30If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:36maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over here.
35:02Thanks for meeting me.
35:03I know things are complicated between us.
35:05You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
35:08Cut to the chase.
35:12We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks.
35:14Miranda and Pauline are also in the team.
35:16Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:17She can handle this without me.
35:19Please, wait.
35:19There's more to it.
35:21After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:25Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:28I've been fighting for them.
35:29Are you serious?
35:31Pauline's due any day now.
35:32Trust me, I know.
35:34This project is our only shot.
35:36If 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.
35:45I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
35:48Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept right before I left Maison Le Bon.
35:53Really?
35:54What concept?
35:59Well.
36:13Perfect.
36:14She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:17I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:21Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:25I do.
36:27Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Le Bon.
36:32Wait.
36:33Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:35How exactly is she part of this project?
36:38Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:44Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:47Of course, Vic.
36:49Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:55You need to leave, buddy.
36:57Take all the time you need.
36:59Mia.
37:01Don't make me regret trusting you.
37:03Again.
37:13Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:24Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:28The Sean Gosselin one with the black satin lapels?
37:31That's the one.
37:32Can you check my home office?
37:34It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:38Got it.
37:39Grace is napping.
37:40The perfect timing.
37:42Thanks, sweetie.
37:43I just need to double check something about the...
37:48Shoulder.
37:49Instruction.
37:52Mom, are you okay?
37:57Miranda?
37:59Vic?
38:04Mom, Mom, what's going on?
38:08Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:09Miranda, what happened?
38:12Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:15Bills don't pay themselves.
38:17You met my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
38:23Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the galsing project.
38:28What?
38:29Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:33After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:38No severance, no copper, and nothing.
38:40Just gone.
38:42That's completely illegal.
38:45Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
38:50All at once.
38:51What are the odds, right?
38:53And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:58Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:01And Mia knew about all this.
39:09Mia.
39:10Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
39:13Didn't even blink.
39:15Too busy admiring her shiny new creative and direct title.
39:20She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
39:24Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:27What?
39:28That bitch!
39:32This ends now.
39:39Damn it!
39:44Here's Miss Michael.
39:46He's just arrived from Milan.
39:47We need approval by noon for them.
39:50Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:56What are you all looking at?
40:03Get back to work.
40:05Victoria would never treat us.
40:08I heard that.
40:10You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:13Then where is she now?
40:14Gone.
40:15Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:20Well at least you could actually design her.
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.
40:40Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:42Show me.
40:44It's not quite ready.
40:45Now.
40:45This is garbage.
40:54Absolute garbage.
40:56I 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.
41:07What's that?
41:13It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:18I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil,
41:21get 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.
41:51Right on cue.
42:01Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:04Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:07The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:09She'll get her a sketch.
42:14And that's where we spring the trap.
42:29You're early.
42:29Vic, I really need that sketch.
42:32I said I'd help, not hand over my design.
42:43Holly'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.
43:03She's such a snake.
43:06Vic, my stomach is killing me.
43:08Can you run to the pharmacy and get something please?
43:12Fine, but don't touch anything.
43:22I'm sorry, Vic.
43:42Survival of the fittest.
43:43I'm sorry, Vic.
43:45Survival of the fittest.
43:51You just let her take your work?
43:58She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
44:03You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
44:07Go after the same clients.
44:09Show them what real design looks like.
44:12We're not out yet.
44:21There's a revolution, bro.
44:32Baker, you can use all the backup you can get.
44:38You're welcome, mom.
44:39I want you and your team as your vent.
44:47Full creative control.
44:50I'm Miranda.
44:51Your husband's debt, handled.
44:54And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:57Mr. Chevalier, I...
45:01I'm Pauline.
45:02Your sister is in good hands.
45:05The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:07It's already prepping for her next surgery.
45:10Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
45:13Don't thank me.
45:15Thank Victoria.
45:16I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:20Vincent, I...
45:23I don't even know what to say.
45:25It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:46You're welcome.
45:49ë‚´ê°€ what you're saying.
45:50I'm sorry.
45:53Ah no.
45:54I don't know.
45:57I don't know.
45:59I don't know.
46:00I don't know.
46:04I don't know.

47:11Maison Laveau sets the bar we don't follow trends we create them
47:21satin black lapels nod 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
47:41thank you mr. Jenkins for clearing out your best talent
47:50my company is thriving because of your generosity
47:56didn't expect to see you here we thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes
48:01unlike 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
48:18and the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk
48:23pregnant women talk you know

50:13after careful consideration we're awarding project to
50:20Maison Laveau
50:22oh my god
50:24of course
50:26this is what you planned all along
50:28wasn't it
50:35we're going to have to do that
50:36we're going to have to do that
50:39what the hell did you people put me in are you trying to kill me
50:44mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk who designed this tuxedo
50:48did you even read the brief
50:50I mean did you you must have read the brief it's not complicated it says no synthetic blend I mean
51:01it must be some kind of mistake perhaps Mia overlooked something
51:05a mistake I could have ended up in the emergency room
51:09Victoria please tell these amateurs why you pulled your last design
51:14I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic
51:27I'd never risk mr. Gosling's health for a deadline
51:30and that's why Victoria is the best
51:33she actually pays attention
51:34after reviewing all of the entries the committee has reached a decision
51:39the commission goes to Victoria Miranda and Pauline
51:45mr. 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
51:56maybe everyone should see this
51:57wait Mia did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:12not so near low even for you
52:19Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars
52:22so you know I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft
52:30Maison Laveau's reputation is toast
52:33we're suspending all collaborations
52:45don't even think about trying to land anywhere else
52:48you're blacklisted
52:52I'll do anything please just help me save the company the brand you built for 15 years
53:15you made your choices Holly now you live with them
53:19I don't know why we went too far
53:29Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven
53:34social media is already calling it the winter revolution
53:49to the best comeback in fashion history and to the women who made it happen
53:55and to the maternity leave that actually means something
54:02mom you might want to see this
54:04happy birthday Victoria

54:28Maison Laveau on the brink
54:30scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy
54:34ouch
54:35I guess karma has a sense of humor
54:38it's strange isn't it
54:39I 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 feel vindicated
54:59but honestly it's a weird mix
55:03relief sure but also a little bit of grief

56:20Woo!
56:25That's for the Amber!
56:27You came.
56:32I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:46I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:51When word got out you left.
56:53Clients bailed.
56:55The board freaked.
56:57Numbers tanked.
56:58I couldn't stop it.
57:00You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
57:16I know.
57:19I know.
57:21My father...
57:23The stress gave him a heart attack.
57:25He 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 didn't mean for it to end like this.
57:40Maison Laveau isn't dead.
57:42I bought it.
57:43Last week.
57:44The brand.
57:46The archives.
57:48Even the debt.
57:49It's part of Jeven now.
57:51You bought it?
57:52Why would you do that?
57:54To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:59You win, Victoria.
58:00I hope you do better than I did.
58:01I'll do it differently.
58:02Goodbye, Holly.
58:29Miss Winter, I just...
58:35I wanted to thank you.
58:37Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
58:42I can keep working and have my baby.
58:47You changed everything.
58:50Congratulations.
58:52Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
58:55Ready?
59:05Always.
59:09And now, Jovan's new collection.
