One pink slip. One growing belly. No support. When everything falls apart, she finds strength she never knew she had—and a man willing to help her rebuild.

00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, the system crashed mid-upload! Half the collection is the wrong season! We're on everything!
00:17No!
00:19We're on the runway in 48 hours. If production starts with these botched designs, we're all dead! Not just fired, we're dead!
00:29Company collapses, our careers are over! Come out here and talk to us, we have 8 million tied up in this collection!
00:37I have a fashion editor from Vogue, right now! One word for me, your industry poison!
00:47Enough!
00:57Vic!
00:59Mia, Japanese indigo.
01:03Miranda, call production, emergency protocol 7.
01:07Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:11Tell the boss to hold all calls. I need 28 minutes.
01:1728 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2127 now. Tick-tock.
01:25I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:35I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes!
01:39Holy shit! Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter everyone.
01:45every record.
01:55You bet. Are you okay?
01:59Just brax and hicks, nothing to...
02:03Oh my god, your water broke!
02:17Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:23Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin.
02:25Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:41That's my girl.
02:43Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
02:58We need to slash costs.
03:00Immediately.
03:02Layoffs.
03:06Absent without leave.
03:08Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:12Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:18In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:25No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:33Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:38Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:41Oh, actually...
03:43How about I make you the new creative director? Starting today.
03:47Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:51She's offering me Victoria's job? I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
03:57But, Victoria...
04:03Don't worry about her. I'm not useless. I'm going to smell fire.
04:07You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:15I hid something in the design.
04:17Your initials and now little graces.
04:21I'll move him right into the fabric.
04:27And that's going to give him a long runway?
04:31Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:34Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:37Mom, you ain't have to.
04:39You're going to that private school. No discussion.
04:42Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:46This job will keep us afloat.
04:48I love you, Mom.
05:00Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:04After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:24Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:34What the hell?
05:36Listen up, everyone.
05:38Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:40Effective immediately.
05:43You can't just do that.
05:45She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:47They're a loss against this.
05:49Vic worked while in labor.
05:51She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:00Everything okay here?
06:04Great timing.
06:06Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:10Clear out your desk now.
06:20You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:23I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:27Three times.
06:30Well, that's ancient history.
06:33The board wants fresh blood.
06:35And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:43What?
06:44I'm the one who...
06:47Mia, you...
06:50Feel that curve?
06:52That's your signature.
06:53That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:00How could you?
07:01I taught you everything you know.
07:03I wish things were different, Vic.
07:11I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:15What happens to my team?
07:16Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:30Things got so bad she had to get hair, implants.
07:33Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the loo.
07:40These jobs are their lifelines.
07:41Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:45You can't just throw them away.
07:46Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:51No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:57Or, we can shift the math.
08:00You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:04Think of it as...
08:07Taking one for the team.
08:10Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:13And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:17They can't lose their jobs.
08:22Come on, Vic. You say you care about them.
08:25Prove it.
08:34No.
08:35No.
09:01Five grand.
09:02That's my severed package after 15 years.
09:05That's what I'm worth to them.
09:20Careful.
09:22I got you.
09:28Vincent?
09:30Vincent Chevalier?
09:32Hi.
09:35High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:47So.
09:49It's true.
09:51Grey Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Mison LeBeau's Milan collection.
09:56How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:06Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:10What are you getting at exactly?
10:11I'm talking about you and me.
10:12Partners.
10:13You're genius.
10:14My money.
10:15No corporate BS.
10:16No one holding you back.
10:17I've got a baby to think about now.
10:18And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:23Just saying.
10:24Vincent Chevalier.
10:25Vincent Chevalier.
10:26Wow.
10:27You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:28Got your spy here?
10:29Don't mind me.
10:30Don't mind me.
10:31I'm just giving you a call.
10:32I've got a baby to think about now.
10:33I've got a baby to think about now.
10:34And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:37Just saying.
10:38Vincent Chevalier.
10:39Wow.
10:40You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:54Got your spy here?
10:55Don't mind me.
10:58I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
11:02Triple her salary.
11:04Corner office.
11:05You know.
11:06Before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:09Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:12Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:16Wow.
11:17That's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:21I mean the jacket.
11:24It's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:27The earrings.
11:28It's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:30If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:37Shit, shit, shit.
11:39What are you talking about?
11:40Victoria designed all of this.
11:42Actually, those were my designs.
11:54What did you just say?
11:55The spring collection.
11:56The Cartier pieces.
11:57I designed them.
11:58Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:01Oops.
12:02Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:04I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:07Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:14So what?
12:15Sketches get passed around all the time.
12:16It doesn't prove squat.
12:17Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:18Dress designer?
12:19And the logo?
12:20The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
12:23It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:24Well, Mia, explain it and make her shut up.
12:27It's funny.
12:32I'm sorry.
12:33I'm sorry.
12:34I'm sorry.
12:36I'm sorry.
12:37You're right.
12:38I'm sorry.
12:39I'm sorry.
12:40I'm sorry.
12:41I'm sorry.
12:42I'm sorry.
12:43I'm sorry.
12:44I'm sorry.
12:45I'm sorry.
12:46I'm sorry.
12:47I'm sorry.
12:48I'm sorry.
12:49It's funny.
12:50All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their life.
12:55They all have EW and GW sewn in, too.
12:58Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:01Her 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?
13:13Well, Mia, tell them.
13:15Tell them you designed this.
13:17Tell them you saved Milan.
13:20The logo.
13:21It's...
13:22It'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.
13:42It's actually two M's.
13:45MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:51See?
13:52One M flipped.
13:53One upright.
13:54It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:59It's mine.
14:00That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:03Oh my god, she's right.
14:04It does look more like two N's.
14:09You manipulative bitch.
14:10You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:14You learned wow, Mia.
14:17Maybe too well.
14:18You'll regret this.
14:19Come on, Vincent.
14:20We don't have to sink to that level.
14:21Okay.
14:22Then let me drive you home, Karen.
14:23My Ferrari's outside.
14:24I got this.
14:25You shouldn't be caring anymore.
14:26I know.
14:27Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:28Just take care of your mind.
14:29I'm Polly, Mia.
14:30That's right.
14:31Get the hell out of my company.
14:36Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:38Congratulations on your promotion Mia. Just take care of the matter of poly, will you?
14:48That's right, get the hell out of my company. Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:55Oh, I'm Victoria. VIP invitation, Paris Fashion Week. Front row. I think you'll find it. Enlightening.
15:14Every pregnant woman fired. All of us. Just like that. No severance, no warning, nothing. But a box and a security escrow.
15:35Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities. Their termination people won't practically pay for your sign and bonus my rising star.
15:44Now, about your 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.
16:07Victoria Wintour. The Nuclear Vic. Your mom's basically a legend. You know that, right?
16:12We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau. Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:20Wait, Maison Léveau?
16:24Well, well. The Queen without her crown graces us with her presence. Brave of you to show up here.
16:30What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:34Leaving so soon? You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:40Has mommy dearest filled you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:46Mom, is that true?
16:50Mom, is that true?
16:55Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
16:59Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour. Still pretending she matters.
17:04My 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,
17:16then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:18Well, 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?
17:32But hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:38If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:42That'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.
18:08It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:15What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:18Remove that dress.
18:20We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:24Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:28Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:31Take your hands off her now.
18:36Vincent.
18:42You're dismissed.
18:43You all right?
18:56You all right?
18:57I'm full.
18:58Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:01The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:03What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:04What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:08That knockoff that you're so eager to trash her for?
19:13It's Chauvenne.
19:15Haute couture.
19:16Winter collection.
19:18Not even released yet.
19:20Price tag?
19:21300,000.
19:22300,000.
19:23Wow!
19:25You gave her that.
19:26That's right.
19:28You did.
19:30I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:34Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:36Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:40Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
19:42He's her walking trust fund.
19:46Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:49It's just so predictably desperate.
19:55You really don't understand real talent, do you?
20:00For those of you who don't know me,
20:01I'm Vincent Chevalier, CEO of Chauvenne.
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.
20:17Your brilliance.
20:19Your principles.
20:21Your passion.
20:23Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:27Mom, did you know about this?
20:28I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:33But in the meantime, what I will do
20:36is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:41She won't let you down, boss.
20:45You'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.
20:54Holy shit.
20:56The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:00Talk about a power couple.
21:02They could run the entire industry.
21:04This isn't over, bitch.
21:06Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:07So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:08Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:09Some people, too.
21:10Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:11Some people, too.
21:12Some people, too.
21:16Ladies and gentlemen,
21:18we're about to come back to you.
21:19So you've seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:26Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:33Some people, too.
21:40Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show,
21:43I have an important announcement.
21:45This 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. She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:58I 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.
22:21Everyone 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?
22:33That'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.
22:45How dare you!
22:49Miss Jenkins, Missing Michaels.
22:51It's a disaster in there.
22:53There's something wrong with the collection.
22:54It's the fabric.
22:56Not now.
22:57The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:06The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:09We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:11Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison LeVos?
23:13Are 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 me backstabbing vultures.
23:36Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:38Maison LeVos appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:41Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled minutes before showtime.
23:46The question on everyone's mind?
23:47Is 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.
24:11What's this?
24:26What's this?
24:27Now!
24:29How?
24:30The fabric supplier must've sent us defective materials!
24:33I can't magically make new dresses in an hour!
24:36You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:40If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:44That's billions of dollars.
24:47Then you better figure something out.
24:49Because if you don't, not only are you fired,
24:52I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
24:55Miss Winter, how do you respond to accusations over design theft?
25:10Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:14Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:17And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:21We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:25Oh.
25:35Excuse me.
25:37Excuse me.
25:39It's okay, punk. I'll be right back.
25:47What do you want, Mia?
25:49Vic, I really need your help.
25:55Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:59Look, I know you're furious. I would be too.
26:04But 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. 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.
26:27Please, Vic, not for me. For them. For it's weird.
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. They do.
26:57Fine. I'll help you.
27:01But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline. Not for you.
27:10Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter. The Nuclear Vec.
27:20I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric. Now.
27:30I need royal fuchsia for the stitching. Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:35Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:40Would this work?
27:47Vincent, how did you...
27:51I figured you might need some supplies, so 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?
28:05I'm not helping them. I'm helping you.
28:12I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:15I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone. It's yours now.
28:22I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:25Then what do you want?
28:29You.
28:32What?
28:36Your talent. Your vision.
28:39Come and work as Joven.
28:42I'm in.
28:44I'll work for you.
28:45Just like that.
28:46Just like that.
28:47Just like that.
28:48Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Lavo.
28:52Here we go.
28:56I hate it.
28:58When I call in.
29:00I wish I was cool.
29:02Like the new good school.
29:04I regret it.
29:05So I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get it.
29:09I won't be back.
29:11Don't ever change.
29:13I'm gonna be proud of my name
29:18She'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 showtime
29:41We made it
29:42We made it
29:44We made it
29:45We made it
29:46We made it
29:47We made it
29:48We made it
29:49We made it
29:50We made it
29:51We made it
29:52We made it
29:53We made it
29:54Well?
29:55Do we pull the plug or not?
29:57We're good
29:58Everything's back on track
29:59See?
30:00I knew firing Victoria was the right call
30:03You've got twice her talent
30:05Yeah, right
30:08This is exactly why I promoted you
30:10You fixed messes, not make them
30:20To Victoria
30:21The real hero of the night
30:22The real hero of the night
30:35Mom, you're insane
30:36I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour
30:39Couldn't have done it without you
30:41Couldn't have done it without you
30:44You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance
30:49Well, well, still hanging around
30:56I 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
31:05What are you talking about?
31:07Just ask the models
31:09Any of them
31:10Of them
31:11Oh, and Mia
31:13Don't forget about our agreement
31:15About Miranda and Pauline
31:16About Miranda and Pauline
31:17I won't
31:18I won't
31:19I'm
31:20You won't
31:24Two new beginnings at Chauvin
31:25Two new beginnings at Chauvin
31:26Two new beginnings at Chauvin
31:28Two new beginnings at Chauvin
31:30Speaking of new beginnings
31:34Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:37I want to help
31:38With her education
31:39What?
31:40Vincent, that's too much
31:41We barely know each other
31:42What? Vincent, that's too much. We barely know each other.
31:47Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
31:52I remember watching you win that regional competition 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.
32:09You remember that?
32:11I remember everything.
32:14I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:22Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:24You were married.
32:27And then you weren't.
32:29And then you were building your career.
32:32Timing was never right.
32:35Until now.
32:38I've been waiting 20 years to do this.
32:53I should probably get this.
33:08Yeah.
33:09God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:21That Milan disaster you turned around?
33:23Absolute 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.
33:38Three-time Oscar winner.
33:39People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:40And if we play our cards right, the next face of the Maison Lebeau is a menswear.
33:45They're taking pitches now.
33:48If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:51For you.
33:52For the brand.
33:53Where it is, Joven's in the running too.
33:57Land this.
33:58Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:05Seal the deal.
34:06I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:08I've got this, Holly.
34:10You won't regret it.
34:12God, what am I gonna do?
34:20I can't design menswear.
34:22I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:25Miranda and Felina are gone too.
34:27I'm completely on my own.
34:30If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:37maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over.
34:42Thanks 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 named.
35:16Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:17She can handle this without me.
35:19Please, wait, there's more to it.
35:21After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:24Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:27I've been fighting for them.
35:29Are you serious?
35:30Holline'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 in your tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison alone.
35:53Really? What concept?
35:55Well...
36:00Perfect. She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:17I'll use her design to save my ass and lay on this project.
36:21Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:24I do.
36:26Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
36:31Wait.
36:33Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:35How exactly is she part of this project?
36:38Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:44Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:47Of course, Vic.
36:49Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:53You need to need to pay.
36:56Take all the time you need.
36:58Mia.
36:59Don't make me regret trusting you.
37:02Again.
37:03Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:13Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:16The Sean Gosselin one with the black satin lapels?
37:17That's the one.
37:18Can you check my home office?
37:19It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:23Got it.
37:24Grace is napping.
37:25The perfect timing.
37:26Thanks, sweetie.
37:27I just need to double check something about the...
37:28Shoulder.
37:29Instruction.
37:30Mom, are you okay?
37:31Miranda?
37:32Big?
37:33Big?
37:34Yes, I am.
37:35Big.
37:37I am.
37:38Girl.
37:39My face is not good.
37:40I am.
37:41I am.
37:42I am.
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.
38:09Brenda, 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,
38:21and now there's a newborn at home.
38:23Mia said you were on maternity leave,
38:25working 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 copyright, 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 create 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 that.
39:50Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:01What are you all looking at?
40:03Get back to work!
40:05Victoria would never treat us like this.
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,
40:18there's the door.
40:20Well, at least you can actually design it.
40:27What the hell is going on here?
40:29Just a great disagreement.
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.
40:51This is garbage.
40:54Absolute 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.
41:01If Chauvin gets this deal instead of us...
41:06What's that?
41:07It'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 when you design me till morning morning,
41:23or pack up your desk by lunch!
41:29Mama.
41:30I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:57Right on cue.
42:00I don't know.
42:01Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:04Miranda 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, Bic.
42:31I 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.
42:49Still lying, Mia, you 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!
43:06Bic, my stomach is killing me!
43:08Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:12Fine.
43:12Don't touch anything.
43:26I'm sorry, Bic.
43:42Survival of the fittest.
43:44You 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.
44:06Go after the same clients.
44:08Show them what real design looks like.
44:12We're not out yet.
44:14I heard there's a revolution, bro.
44:32Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:38You're welcome, mom.
44:39I want you and your team as your van.
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'm Pauline.
45:02Your sister is in good hands.
45:04The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:07She's already prepping for her next surgery.
45:10Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
45:13Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
45:14Don't thank me.
45:14I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:20Vincent, I don't even know what to say.
45:25It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:28He wants to tell us you be with me.
46:35And you're still here?
46:38Final tweaks. The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:44You've got Grace to sleep.
46:49Yeah.
46:51And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:56Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
46:58We're about to make history.
47:10Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:13We don't follow trends.
47:15We create them.
47:16Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:30I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:33What is that bitch doing here?
47:46Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:50My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:56I didn't expect to see you here.
47:58I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:02Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:10You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
48:15The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:17And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:23Pregnant women talk, you know.
48:25Three ex-employees and a rival CEO.
48:27What's next?
48:28A fake sale?
48:30Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:32You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:35And what real loyalty looks like.
48:47Sean, I'm glad you could make it.
48:53We have something very special to show you.
48:58Vic.
49:02I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:06Congratulations.
49:07Thank you, Sean.
49:08It's good to see you.
49:10Let's begin the pitches.
49:13You ready to lose?
49:15You're out of your league.
49:16You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:28First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:48Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
50:00Beautiful work.
50:02Both teams.
50:03We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:13After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...
50:20Maison Laveau.
50:21Oh, shit!
50:23Oh, my God.
50:24Of course.
50:26This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:29What the hell did you people put me in?
50:42Are you trying to kill me?
50:44Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:47Who designed this Tuxedo?
50:48Did you even read the brief?
50:50I mean, you must have read the brief.
50:55It's not complicated.
50:57It says no synthetic blend.
51:00I mean...
51:01It must be some kind of mistake.
51:03Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:05A mistake?
51:06I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:09Victoria, please, tell these amateurs
51:13why you pulled your last design.
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's the best.
51:33She actually pays attention.
51:34After reviewing all the entries,
51:37the committee has reached a decision.
51:38The commission goes to
51:40Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:42It's okay.
51:44Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:48Mia's design was the front runner all along.
51:50That's why they picked her first.
51:55Maybe everyone should see this.
52:03Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:07That's a new low.
52:14Even for you.
52:18Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:23And so you know,
52:24I will be supporting Victoria's case
52:27for design theft.
52:30Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:32We're suspending all collaborations.
52:45Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:48You're blacklisted.
52:53Victoria, please.
52:55Victoria, please.
53:09I'll do anything.
53:10Please just help me save the company,
53:12the brand you built for 15 years.
53:15You made your choices, Holly.
53:17Now you live with them.
53:19Why don't we went too far?
53:28Sean Gosling's look tonight
53:30is a game changer crafted by
53:31the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:34Social media is already calling it
53:35the Winter Revolution.
53:37To the best comeback in fashion history
53:52and to the women who made it happen.
53:55And to the maternity leave
53:57that actually means something.
54:01Mom, you might want to see this.
54:07Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:18Happy birthday to you!
54:24Guys, look!
54:28Maison Laveau on the brink?
54:30Scandal pushes fashion giant
54:32towards bankruptcy.
54:34Ouch!
54:35I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:37It's strange, isn't it?
54:47I gave them everything.
54:49Late nights, weekends,
54:51all the best years
54:53and they tossed us aside
54:54like we were nothing.
54:56Now it's all crashing down.
54:58I thought I'd feel vindicated.
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
55:09are behind us?
55:11Look at this!
55:14Joven pushes for paid leave
55:16and parental support
55:17across all industries.
55:19Victoria, this is you!
55:21You did this!
55:23Here's to a future
55:25where women don't have to choose
55:27between their families
55:28and their careers.
55:29Not just for us,
55:30but for every woman
55:31who comes after.
55:34Careful, Vincent.
55:35You almost forgot the best part.
55:37Victoria Winter.
55:49Will you marry me?
55:54Yes!
56:04A thousand times, yes!
56:07Woo!
56:07Woo!
56:08Woo!
56:20Woo!
56:21Woo!
56:21Woo!
56:21Woo!
56:23Happy birthday ever!
56:44You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:48I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:51When word got out you left. Clients bailed.
56:55The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.
57:01You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
57:06I know. I know. My father, the stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:24I destroyed everything.
57:29I thought slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:35I didn't mean for it to end like this.
57:39Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it.
57:43I bought it, last week. The brand, the archives, even the debt. It's part of Given now.
57:53You bought 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.
58:14Miss Winter, I just... I wanted to thank you.
58:38Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave. I can keep working and have my baby.
58:48You changed everything.
58:50Congratulations. Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
59:04Ready?
59:08Always.
59:20And now, Jovain's new collection.
59:23I love you.
59:24I love you.
59:26I love you.
59:28I love you.
59:30I love you.
59:32I love you.
59:34I love you.
