00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the system crashed mid-upload, half the collection is the wrong season, we're on everything, no.
00:21Runway is in 48 hours, production starts with these botched designs, we're all dead, not just fire, we're dead, company collapses, our careers are over, come out here and talk to us, we have 8 million tied up in this collection, I have a passion that you promote, right now, one word for me, you're injured, poison.
00:51Enough.
00:59Vic!
01:01Mia, Japanese Indigo. Miranda, call production, emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:12Tell the boss to hold all calls, I need 28 minutes.
01:2028 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2427 now. Tick tock.
01:42I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:49I swear to god, you're not human.
01:5227 minutes!
01:54Holy shit! Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
02:05Vic! Are you okay?
02:07Just...frax and hicks, nothing to...
02:14Oh my god, your water broke.
02:23Mom, you were seriously in active labor, while saving the entire company?
02:28Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:30Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but...
02:37I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:45That's my girl.
02:47Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But there's...a condition.
03:01We need to slash costs.
03:03Immediately.
03:05Layoffs.
03:09Absent without leave.
03:10Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:15Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster...
03:20They get immunity.
03:22In fact, um...
03:24They deserve a promotion.
03:28No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:32Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:41Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:45Oh, actually...
03:47How about I make you the new creative director? Starting today.
03:51Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:55She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:57I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:06But, Victoria...
04:07Don't worry about her.
04:08I'm not useless.
04:09I'm going to sell fire.
04:15You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:18I hid something in the design.
04:21Your initials and now little graces.
04:24Hold them right into the fabric.
04:31And that's going to give him a long runway?
04:34Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:37Enough for your full tuition at private school.
04:40Mom, you ain't have to.
04:42You're going to that private school.
04:44No discussion.
04:46Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:49This job will keep us afloat.
04:51I love you, Mom.
04:52Mom.
05:03Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:08After 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.
05:29What the hell?
05:30Listen up, everyone.
05:31Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:32Effective immediately.
05:34You can't just do that.
05:35She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:37They're a loss against this.
05:38Vic worked while in labor.
05:40She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:41She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:43Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggles are bleeding us dry.
05:45Everything okay here?
05:46Great timing.
05:47Victoria Wintour?
05:48You're fired.
05:49Clear out your desk now.
05:50I'm sorry.
05:51I'm sorry.
05:52You can't just do that.
05:53You can't just do that.
05:54She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:55They're a loss against this.
05:56Vic worked while in labor.
05:57She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:58I have finished her family after her baby and she's my son, okay?
05:59Vivian Laveau.
06:00You're one of my kids.
06:01Why?
06:02Who's that?
06:03Why would you have to leave you alone?
06:04Vivian Laveau, you're there.
06:05No��itties?
06:06No, no, no.
06:07I have to leave you alone.
06:08Just stay.
06:09They would leave you alone.
06:10I'm sorry.
06:11What's that?
06:12That's all I have to leave you alone.
06:15I need to save you alone.
06:19I need to save you.
06:20Stop.
06:21I know.
06:22Stop.
06:23I'm sorry.
06:24You need to go.
06:26Stop.
06:27Three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:29Three times.
06:33Well.
06:34That's ancient history.
06:36The board wants fresh blood.
06:38And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:46What?
06:47I'm the one who...
06:50Mia, you...
06:53Feel that curve?
06:54That's her signature.
06:56That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:03How could you?
07:04I taught you everything you know.
07:13I wish things were different, Vic.
07:17I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:20What happens to my team?
07:26Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:34Things got so bad she had to get hair.
07:36Implants.
07:37Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:43These jobs are their lifelines.
07:44Health insurance.
07:45Paid maternity leave.
07:46Basic human dignity.
07:47You can't just throw them away.
07:48Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:53No mandated paid maternity leave.
07:55No real protection.
07:56But hey, that's corporate America for you.
08:00Or we can shift the math.
08:03You sign.
08:04They stay.
08:05Okay.
08:06The budget works out.
08:08Think of it as...
08:10Taking one for the team.
08:13Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:16And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:19They can't lose their jobs.
08:20Come on, Vic.
08:21You say you care about them.
08:22Prove it.
08:23Pff.
08:24Come on, babe. You say you care about them. Prove it.
08:54Five grand. That's my severance package after 15 years. That's what I'm worth to them.
09:09Wow. Careful. I got you.
09:31Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:35Hi. High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:50So, it's true.
09:54Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Mison LeBeau's Milan collection.
10:00How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:09Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:13What are you getting at, exactly?
10:17I'm talking about you and me.
10:22Partners. You're genius. My money.
10:27No corporate BS. No one holding you back.
10:30I've got a baby to think about now.
10:37And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:43Just saying.
10:44Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:45You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:55Got your spine here?
10:57Don't mind me. I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
11:02Triple her salary, corner office.
11:08You know, before the vultures at LB or Chanel swoop in.
11:12Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:15Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:19Wow, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:24I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:30The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:33If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:39Shit, shit, shit.
11:42What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this.
11:44Actually, those were my designs.
11:56What did you just say?
11:58The spring collection.
12:00The Cartier pieces.
12:02I designed them.
12:04Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:07Oops.
12:08Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:11I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:15Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:25So what? Sketches get passed around all the time. It doesn't prove squat.
12:29Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:33The dress designer?
12:35And the logo?
12:38The EW woven in Victoria's signature mark.
12:41It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:45Well, Mia, explain it and make me shut up.
12:51It's funny.
12:53All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their world.
12:57They all have EW and GW so many, too.
13:01Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:03Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:06It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:12Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:16Well, Mia, tell them.
13:18Tell them you designed this.
13:20Tell them you saved Milan.
13:21The logo, it's, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:29You lying little bitch!
13:32That promotion was for saving the company.
13:35Look at the logo again.
13:40It's not EW or GW.
13:44It's actually two Ms.
13:47MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:53See?
13:55One M flipped, one upright.
13:57It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:00It's mine.
14:02That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:05Oh my god, she's right.
14:07It does look more like two Ms.
14:10You manipulative bitch.
14:12You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:16You learned well, Mia.
14:19Maybe too well.
14:21You'll regret this.
14:24We'll walk and sleep.
14:26We don't have to sink to their level.
14:27Okay.
14:29Okay.
14:30Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:32My Ferrari's outside.
14:34I got this.
14:35You shouldn't be caring anymore.
14:41Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:44Just take care of Miranda and Polly, will you?
14:50That's right!
14:51Get the hell out of my company!
14:53Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:55Oh, I'm Victoria.
14:56The VIP invitation, Paris Fashion Week.
14:57Front row.
14:58I think you'll find it.
14:59Enlightening.
15:00Every pregnant woman fired.
15:01All of us.
15:02Just like that.
15:03No severance.
15:04No warning.
15:05Nothing.
15:06But a box and a security escort.
15:07A box and a security escort.
15:09Finally purge.
15:10Finally purge.
15:11No severance.
15:12No warning.
15:13No severance.
15:14No warning.
15:15Nothing.
15:16But a box and a security escort.
15:17Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:23Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign and bonus my riding star.
15:24Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
15:25Your designs are eagerly awaited.
15:26Should've kept your legs closed.
15:27You should've kept your legs closed.
15:28No.
15:29No severance.
15:30No severance.
15:31No warning.
15:32No severance.
15:33No warning.
15:34No warning.
15:35Nothing.
15:36But a box and a security escort.
15:37Oh my god.
15:38Oh my god mum.
15:39This is insane.
15:40Noona.
15:41Oh my god mum.
15:56This is insane.
16:01No!
16:02Oh my god mum.
16:05This is insane. I can't believe we're actually here.
16:09Victoria Wintour, the Nuclear Vic. Your mom's basically a legend, you know that right?
16:16We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison-les-Vaux.
16:20Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:25Wait, Maison-les-Vaux?
16:28Well, well, the queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
16:32Brave of you to show up here.
16:34What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:40Leaving so soon, you haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:44Mommy Dearest filled you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore.
16:52Mom, is that true?
16:57Don't worry, she'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:02Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour, still pretending she matters.
17:10My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:14If Maison-les-Vaux was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:20Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:24Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:28That's got a sting, huh? Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
17:35But hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hard-working children.
17:40If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:43That's enough.
17:45You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.
17:56Look at her. A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:01That dress. It's a cheap knockoff.
18:07Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:10It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:14What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:20Remove that dress.
18:22We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:26Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:29And let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:33Take your hands off her now.
18:37Vincent.
18:38You're dismissed.
18:53You all right?
18:57You all right?
18:58I'm fine.
18:59Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:03The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:05What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:08That knockoff that you're so eager to trash her for?
19:14It's Chauven.
19:16Mote Couture.
19:18Winter collection.
19:20Not even released yet.
19:22Price tag?
19:24300,000.
19:25Wow!
19:27You gave her that.
19:27That's right.
19:29You did.
19:32I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:36Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:38Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:42Mr. Billionaire is not her white knight.
19:44He's her walking trust fund.
19:48Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:51It's just so predictably desperate.
19:53You really don't understand real talent, do you?
20:02For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier, CEO of Joven.
20:08And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:16I've followed your career from a distance for years.
20:18Your brilliance, your principles, your passion.
20:25Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:28Mom, did you know about this?
20:32Now, I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:35But in the meantime, what I will do is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:42She won't let you down, boss.
20:43You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:50She's nothing but a has-been.
20:53The show is about to start.
20:55Your seats are waiting.
21:01Holy shit.
21:03The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:06Talk about a power couple.
21:08They could run the entire industry.
21:09This isn't over, bitch.
21:13Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:25So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:32Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:37Some people too.
21:39Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:47This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:50She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:56It's true.
21:57She took my work and passed it off as her own.
22:00I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
22:04And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:13That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:16Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:20That's enough, Holly.
22:21Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:26Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:31Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:35That's her real design strategy.
22:38Stop it, Holly.
22:38You're embarrassing yourself.
22:40And those kids she's so proud of?
22:42Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:44How dare you!
22:50Miss Jenkins, Miss McMichaels, it's a disaster in there.
22:54There's something wrong with the collection.
22:55It's the fabric.
22:57Not now.
23:03The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:07The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:10We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:12Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison LeVoe?
23:15Are you cancelling the show because of your incompetence?
23:17This is completely unprofessional.
23:20I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:23This is breach of contract.
23:28It's actually fixable.
23:31Bob, you can't seriously be thinking about helping you backstabbing vultures.
23:37Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:40Maison LeVoe appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:43Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled minutes before showtime.
23:47The question on everyone's mind?
23:49Is this the end for the once prestigious fashion folks?
23:56This show doesn't happen.
23:57You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
24:00We're talking billions, Holly.
24:02Billions.
24:03Billions.
24:04Billions.
24:05Billions.
24:06What is this?
24:28Now.
24:30How?
24:31The fabric supplier must have sent us
24:33defective materials.
24:34I can't magically make new dresses
24:37in an hour.
24:38You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:41If you don't,
24:43those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:46That's billions of dollars.
24:48Then you better figure something out.
24:50Because if you don't,
24:52not only are you fired,
24:53I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
25:04Miss Winter,
25:07how do you respond of accusations
25:09over design theft?
25:11Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims
25:13about your personal life?
25:15Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:18And for the record,
25:20you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:23We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:25Excuse me.
25:38Excuse me.
25:40It's okay, punk.
25:41I'll be right.
25:42What do you want, Mia?
25:53Vic,
25:54I really need your help.
25:56Funny way to ask for a favor
25:58after that stunt you just pulled.
26:00Look,
26:01I know you're furious.
26:04I would be too.
26:05But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
26:08What about them?
26:09Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:12If we tank,
26:13they're done.
26:14Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:17Please,
26:17if you care about them keeping their jobs,
26:20just help us out here.
26:22Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:25Yes, absolutely.
26:26And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:29Please, Vic,
26:31not for me.
26:32For them.
26:33That's weird.
26:34I would have expected them to be here in Paris,
26:37you know,
26:37for such a make-or-break show.
26:39What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:44They...
26:45They couldn't make it.
26:46Holly cut the travel budget.
26:49Is that right?
26:51Victoria,
26:52I know I don't deserve your help.
26:56They do.
26:58Fine.
27:01I'll help you.
27:02But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
27:04Not for you.
27:05Oh, my God.
27:18It's Victoria Winter.
27:20The Nuclear Vic.
27:21I need scissors, thread,
27:22and fresh lining fabric.
27:23Now.
27:24I 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?
27:42Vincent, how did you...
27:50I figured you might need some supplies,
27:54so I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
27:59This is perfect,
28:01but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors.
28:04Why would you help them?
28:07I'm not helping them.
28:10I'm helping you.
28:12I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:16I have a design I've been saving.
28:18Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:21It's yours now.
28:23I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:26Then what do you want?
28:29You.
28:30What?
28:36You're a talent.
28:38You're a vision.
28:40Come and work.
28:41As you're in.
28:43I'm in.
28:44I'll work for you.
28:46Just like that?
28:47Just like that.
28:49Now,
28:50let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
28:52I hate it when I run.
29:00I wish I was cool.
29:02Like the new girl at school.
29:05I regret it.
29:06So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get out.
29:09I want me back.
29:12Don't ever change.
29:15I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:18She's doing it in minutes.
29:21What would have taken us hours?
29:24Whoa.
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.
29:41We made it.
29:42We made it.
29:43Well, do 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.
30:04You've got twice her talent.
30:06Yeah.
30:08Right.
30:09This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:11You fix vests, not make them.
30:13To Victoria.
30:23The real hero of the night.
30:35Mom, you're insane.
30:37I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:40I couldn't have done it without you.
30:43You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
30:53Well, well, still hanging around.
30:56I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
31:00Fraud.
31:01Holly, 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.
31:12Oh, and Mia.
31:13Don't forget about our agreement.
31:15About Miranda and Pauline.
31:17I won't.
31:23Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:25Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:39I want to help with her education.
31:42What?
31:44Vincent, that's too much.
31:45We barely know each other.
31:46Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
31:51I remember watching you win that regional competition.
31:58In that silver dress.
32:00The 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?
32:10I 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?
32:23You were married.
32:25You were married.
32:27And then you were...
32:28And then you were building your career.
32:31The timing was never right.
32:35Until now.
32:36I have been waiting 20 years to do this.
33:01I should probably get this.
33:06Mia.
33:14Mia.
33:18God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:21That Milan disaster you turned around, absolute magic.
33:24And now I have an opportunity that can put you on the map for good.
33:28Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:34Sean Gosling?
33:35The very one.
33:38Three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive, and if we play our cards right, the next face of Maison Lebeau's Lensware.
33:46They're taking pitches now.
33:49If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:52For you.
33:52For the brand.
33:54Word is, Joven's in the running too.
33:57Land this.
33:58Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:04Seal the deal.
34:05I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:07I've got this, Holly.
34:10You won't regret it.
34:13God, what am I gonna do?
34:19I can't design Mensware.
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.
34:29And if Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria, maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over her.
34:40Thanks for meeting me.
35:03I know things are complicated between us.
35:04You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
35:07Cut to the chase.
35:12We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks.
35:14Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
35:16Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:17She can handle this without me.
35:18Please, wait.
35:19There'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.
35:33Trust 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.
35:44Ages 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.
35:52Really?
35:53What concept?
35:58Well.
36:04Perfect, she's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:16I'll use her design to save my ass and lay on this project.
36:21Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:23I do.
36:26Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Le Bon.
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.
36:43Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:46Of course, Vic.
36:49Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:54You need something to play.
36:56Take all the time you need.
36:58Mia.
37:00Don't make me regret trusting you.
37:03Again.
37:03Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:23Remember 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.
37:31Can you check my home office?
37:33It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:38Got it.
37:39Grace is napping.
37:40The perfect timing.
37:41Thanks, sweetie.
37:42I just need to double check something about the...
37:47Shoulder.
37:49Instruction.
37:51Mom, are you okay?
37:57Miranda?
37:59Vic?
38:01Mom, mom, what's going on?
38:07Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:10Brenda, what happened?
38:12Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:14Bills 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 Gosselin project.
38:26What?
38:27Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:32After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:37No severance, no copper, nothing.
38:39Just gone.
38:41That's completely illegal.
38:43Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
38:49All at once.
38:50What are the odds, right?
38:53And Polly, working night shifts at 24 hours diner, her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:00And Mia knew about all this.
39:07Mia.
39:09Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
39:12Didn't even blink.
39:15Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
39:18She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
39:23Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:26What?
39:27That bitch.
39:31This ends now.
39:38Damn it.
39:43Miss Michael, he's just arrived from Milan.
39:47We need approval by noon for that.
39:48Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:01What are you all looking at?
40:02Get back to work.
40:04Victoria would never treat us like this.
40:07I heard that.
40:09You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:12Then where is she now?
40:14Gone.
40:15Now I'm in charge.
40:16And if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:18Well, at least you could actually design her.
40:26What the hell is going on here?
40:29Just a great disagreement.
40:31Everything's under control.
40:32The Gosling page.
40:33Tell me you have something presentable.
40:39Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:41Show me.
40:41It's not quite ready.
40:44Now.
40:50This is garbage.
40:53Absolute garbage.
40:55I just need a little more time.
40:56We don't have more time.
40:57This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:00If Chauvin gets this deal instead of us...
41:01Instead of us.
41:05What's that?
41:11It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:16I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
41:20Get me when you design me tomorrow morning.
41:22Or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:34I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:50Right on cue.
42:00Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:03Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:06The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:11She'll get her a sketch.
42:12And that's when we spring the trap.
42:14You're early.
42:28Vic.
42:29I really need that sketch.
42:31I said I'd help.
42:40Not hand over my design.
42:42Holly's all over me about this.
42:44If I don't have something tonight...
42:46Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:50Still lying, Mia.
42:51You never learn.
42:53Guess it's payback time.
42:55So.
42:56Do you want my help or not?
42:57I can walk you through it.
42:59Your design could be just as good.
43:01She's such a snake.
43:05Vic, my stomach is killing me.
43:07Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:10Fine.
43:11Don't touch anything.
43:13Don't touch anything.
43:13Sorry, Vic.
43:40Survival of the fittest.
43:41You just let her take your work?
43:56She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
44:01You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
44:05Go after the same clients.
44:07Show them what real design looks like.
44:09We're not out yet.
44:24Oh, there's a revolution, bro.
44:30Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:33You're welcome, mom.
44:40I want you and your team as your van.
44:45Full creative control.
44:48Miranda, your husband's debt, handled.
44:52And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:55Mr. Chevalier, I'm Pauline.
45:00Your sister is in good hands.
45:03The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:05She's already prepping for her next surgery.
45:08Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
45:11Don't thank me.
45:13Thank Victoria.
45:14I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:16Vincent, I don't even know what to say.
45:23It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:26It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:46I'm all about time you all get what you deserve.

54:25Maison Laveau on the brink
54:27scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy
54:30ouch i guess karma has a sense of humor
54:34it's strange isn't it
54:35i gave them everything
54:45late nights weekends
54:47all the best years and they tossed us aside like we were nothing
54:53now it's all crashing down i thought i'd feel vindicated
54:57but honestly it's a weird mix
54:58relief sure but also a little bit of grief
55:04look who said that our best years are behind us look at this
55:10joven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries
55:16victoria this is you you did this

55:45victoria winter
55:50will you marry me
55:55yes
55:59yes a thousand times
56:13yes
56:23Never!
56:40You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:44I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:48When word got out you left. Clients bailed.
56:51The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.
56:57You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
57:12I know. I know.
57:14My father. The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:22I destroyed everything.
57:25I thought slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:31I didn't mean for it to end like this.
57:34Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it. Last week.
57:39The brand. The archives. Even the debt.
57:44It's part of Jeven now.
57:46If you want it, why would you do that?
57:48To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:57You win, Victoria.
57:59I hope you do better than I did.
58:02I'll do it differently.
58:05Goodbye, Holly.
58:06Miss Winter. I just... I wanted to thank you.
58:26Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
58:36I can keep working and have my baby.
58:41You changed everything.
58:44Congratulations. Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
58:48I'm very happy.
58:58Ready?
59:02Always.
59:03And now, Jovan's new collection, designed by Victoria Wintour and your two.
