00:00:00Dylan, where are you?
00:00:02Ava really needs me.
00:00:04I'm ready to move forward.
00:00:07Mr. Cross, you need a wife, and I need revenge.
00:00:12We should get married.
00:00:13The days of pretending to be a model, they're over, Claire.
00:00:17You've lost everything.
00:00:20You just don't know it yet.
00:00:22You're not a nobody.
00:00:24We'll take our eyes off of you.
00:00:26You don't have to say that just because we're married.
00:00:30Claire cannot succeed.
00:00:32Perfect.
00:00:34Maxwell will pay for this.
00:00:37Maybe he touches my wife.
00:00:38Since Christian came into my life, I think my luck has finally changed.
00:00:43So, who will be the 23rd man of the top model competition?
00:01:00Claire Bear, my love for you, it transcends words.
00:01:05You are my forever.
00:01:08Will you marry me?
00:01:11Yes.
00:01:12Yes.
00:01:18Okay, wait.
00:01:20You guys look so good.
00:01:21I need a photo.
00:01:22Round it.
00:01:23Two, three.
00:01:25Lucky bitch.
00:01:27Claire!
00:01:28It's Dylan!
00:01:29Woo!
00:01:31Drink more, baby.
00:01:32Ha, ha, ha.
00:01:32So, you proposed to that bitch, huh?
00:01:43You're so fucking sexy.
00:01:45I'm not doing bad, I don't know.
00:01:48Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what do you do?
00:01:49What do you do?
00:01:51Don't worry about her.
00:01:52I slipped over something.
00:01:54She won't know.
00:01:54Come on.
00:01:56You've lost everything.
00:02:17And you just don't know it yet.
00:02:18I'm pregnant with Dylan's child.
00:02:29He won't show up tomorrow.
00:02:31Rise and shine!
00:02:34Go away.
00:02:36No can do.
00:02:37What happened here after I left?
00:02:39So, I had the most awful dream last night.
00:02:42No more wedding jitters.
00:02:43You can't be late to your big date.
00:02:45That's bad luck.
00:02:46Speaking of luck.
00:02:47I'd like to hear something new.
00:02:50It's beautiful.
00:02:53I hope you didn't spend too much.
00:02:54Oh, never do.
00:02:55Ellie, express, baby.
00:02:56Things you love don't need to break the bank.
00:02:59Come on.
00:02:59You're getting married!
00:03:01Let's go.
00:03:05Is it really a dream?
00:03:10Dylan, where are you?
00:03:12Hey, hey, I'm at the hospital.
00:03:15Are you okay?
00:03:15What happened?
00:03:16No, I'm fine.
00:03:18It's Ava, she fainted.
00:03:21Yeah, the doctors are running tests.
00:03:22I'm with her now.
00:03:24So, I'm not going to be able to marry you today.
00:03:27He won't show up tomorrow.
00:03:30Just you wait.
00:03:34He's fine.
00:03:34I'm with her now.
00:03:39So, I'm not going to be able to marry you today.
00:03:43I know.
00:03:44I'm sorry.
00:03:44I wanted to be there, but Ava, Ava really needs me.
00:03:48Come on, Claire Bear.
00:03:49You know I love you.
00:03:51Hey, I gotta go.
00:03:52It wasn't a dream.
00:04:13It's real.
00:04:14It's all real.
00:04:31Christian, your fiancé refuses to sign the prenup, and now she won't answer her phone.
00:04:35She stalled me for the wedding day.
00:04:38This is Blackmail.
00:04:39Cut her loose.
00:04:40That's Christian Cross.
00:04:42The CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment.
00:04:47Christian, your father...
00:04:48I don't care who I marry as long as it gets done today.
00:04:52Find me another girl.
00:04:54I've got an hour.
00:04:55I must be crazy to even consider this.
00:04:59Mr. Cross?
00:05:10I have a proposition for you.
00:05:18My name is Claire Duvall.
00:05:23My fiancé betrayed me with a woman who I thought was a friend.
00:05:27Okay.
00:05:28How is it I can help you, Ms. Duvall?
00:05:31Actually, it's how we can help each other.
00:05:34You need a wife, and I need revenge.
00:05:37We should get married.
00:05:41Gavin?
00:05:42Already on it.
00:05:43Claire Duvall, 25.
00:05:45No criminal record.
00:05:46Model with Newstown Agency.
00:05:48And unmarried.
00:05:54Deal.
00:06:00Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Cross.
00:06:02So, thank you for doing this.
00:06:23If it's all the same to you, I'd like to keep this arrangement a secret for now.
00:06:30I need my fiancé, ex-fiancé, to find out about us in the right way, at just the right moment.
00:06:37I'll give you six months to plot an exact year of age.
00:06:41After that, our marriage announcement will be released in the press.
00:06:44Fair enough.
00:06:46One more thing.
00:06:48I need this marriage to appear as real as possible.
00:06:51That means living under the same roof.
00:06:54Oh.
00:06:54I have a very loyal, discreet staff that will keep our secret a secret.
00:07:00Every need will be met.
00:07:02I can live with that.
00:07:03Gavin will be in touch.
00:07:11That Miss Duvall, she's, um, she's something.
00:07:14Don't you mean Mrs. Cross?
00:07:16Right.
00:07:17I just mean...
00:07:19You didn't even mention the prenup.
00:07:21Am I missing something?
00:07:22More than you can fathom.
00:07:24I want you to keep a close eye on my wife.
00:07:27Set her a dumbass.
00:07:28Okay, she's walking in right now.
00:07:44I gotta go.
00:07:46Hmm.
00:07:47Hey, thank God you're here.
00:07:49Ava was supposed to walk into the tour show later today.
00:07:52I need you to pretend to be her.
00:07:55You promised me last time I wouldn't have to do that again, Dylan.
00:07:59My company cannot afford to lose this commission.
00:08:01If you love me, you'll do this.
00:08:08I guess you leave me with no choice.
00:08:11I'll do it.
00:08:14I'm sorry everything got so screwed up yesterday.
00:08:17We'll get married soon.
00:08:19I promised.
00:08:22You don't know just how sorry you're gonna be.
00:08:25Welcome to the Vincent Latour Jewelry Showcase with fashion outfits provided by AliExpress.
00:08:32I'm going to be sick.
00:08:40What a two-timey bastard.
00:08:41Ava, that's the bitch.
00:08:43I know.
00:08:45Guard this with your life.
00:08:47Sad as it is.
00:08:48Piss off, Felix, you insufferable parasite.
00:08:50At least Ava's set to win the top model competition.
00:08:53Thirty year in a row.
00:08:54Your girl's career imploded before it even took off.
00:08:57Um, standing right here.
00:08:59Hurry.
00:09:00Throw on your mask.
00:09:01That's the designer.
00:09:02He can never know you're not Ava.
00:09:03Silly, what are you doing?
00:09:13I'm grabbing your model good thing and we're out of here.
00:09:15You're not covering up for Ava again, especially after what she did to you.
00:09:19Actually, I have a plan.
00:09:22Hand me the bracelet.
00:09:25Modeling our next piece in the true love collection is Ava Bennett.
00:09:29Behold, it's Juliet Gracely.
00:09:35Cracked with 36 resquizged emeralds and 15 flawless diamonds.
00:09:39This 22 carry one graces the wrist of a radiant Miss Ava Bennett.
00:09:49What is that?
00:09:53I don't do anklets.
00:09:54I hate anklets.
00:09:55Oh, genius.
00:10:01I love it.
00:10:02I want one.
00:10:04Oh, perhaps I could envision an anklet or two in my line.
00:10:11Your girl just came up.
00:10:13You should get in here.
00:10:14Well, hello.
00:10:16That is not Ava Bennett.
00:10:18She does not possess fabulous legs like that.
00:10:21What is she up to?
00:10:22Who's under the mask?
00:10:26Mask up!
00:10:28Mask up!
00:10:29Mask up!
00:10:30Mask up!
00:10:31Mask up!
00:10:32Mask up!
00:10:33Mask up!
00:10:34Mask up!
00:10:35Mask up!
00:10:36Mask up!
00:10:37Well, let's all see where we're hiding here.
00:10:40Oh!
00:10:42Is that your name?
00:10:43What?
00:10:44Is that Ava?
00:10:45Is that Ava?
00:10:46Is that Ava?
00:10:46Is that Ava?
00:10:46Is that Ava?
00:10:48Where did you come from?
00:10:51That's because there's a vault.
00:10:53A nobody and now a thief.
00:10:56How dare you steal Ava Bennett's place?
00:10:58That's a lie.
00:11:03You don't want to do that.
00:11:06Mr. Cross, we were not expecting you to come see me.
00:11:09Well, it's a good thing I did.
00:11:14You all right?
00:11:16I am now.
00:11:17Joan Fairchild, Climber Magazine.
00:11:24Does this make your first return to the runway?
00:11:27How do you know the CEO of Chemical Entertainment, Christian Cross?
00:11:29Is there bad blood between you and Ava B?
00:11:32No comment.
00:11:33Need a ride?
00:11:48Well, that was exciting.
00:11:51Sorry to get you mixed up in all this.
00:11:54It's what husbands are for.
00:11:56You want to tell me what's going on back there?
00:11:57I did it on purpose.
00:12:01Put the bracelet on my ankle.
00:12:03The biggest difference between Ava and I is our legs.
00:12:07I wanted to get caught.
00:12:12I wanted to get caught.
00:12:14And you did so spectacularly.
00:12:16I've never seen a model come in the stage like you did over there.
00:12:20For a nobody.
00:12:21You're not a nobody.
00:12:23Don't take their eyes off of you.
00:12:25You don't have to say that just because we're married.
00:12:28I know my modeling track record has been pathetic at best.
00:12:33Okay, and why is that?
00:12:35From where I'm sitting, you have everything you need to be a top model.
00:12:38I don't know, just unlucky or something.
00:12:42Or something.
00:12:48I think I'm going to be sick.
00:12:50I can't deal with more reporters tonight.
00:12:52Go back to my place.
00:12:55Let's do it.
00:13:01This night can't get me crazier.
00:13:04Oh, I gotta get this.
00:13:06Hey.
00:13:07It's not good.
00:13:09Ava just gave an interview.
00:13:13It's not looking good.
00:13:15Ava just gave an interview.
00:13:17She told the reporters that she did not ask you to step in.
00:13:19She said that nobody can model AliExpress and Vestalator like she does.
00:13:24And in fact, she said that you deliberately pushed her.
00:13:28And that's how she got hurt.
00:13:30Wow.
00:13:31So I've been bummed from stealing her spot to bodily assault?
00:13:35She's one step ahead of us.
00:13:37Not for long.
00:13:39Ava's going to want to revel in this victory.
00:13:41And she has a thing for bathrooms, so.
00:13:44Yeah.
00:13:46Gross.
00:13:47Zoe, here's what we're going to do.
00:13:51Miss Latoya, I take it you saw the interview?
00:13:54Yes.
00:13:54Yes, I agree.
00:13:56Claire has her issues.
00:13:58No, no, no.
00:13:58Don't worry.
00:13:59I'm taking care of it.
00:14:01Don't worry.
00:14:02I'm taking care of it.
00:14:03My legal department is preparing a statement for the press, which will take full responsibility.
00:14:10Ava will be in top shape, back on her feet for the shoot in Seattle.
00:14:14Yes, she had my word.
00:14:17So, what do you say?
00:14:19The tour's in the bag.
00:14:21But Claire has to take the ball.
00:14:23Perfect.
00:14:25Let's celebrate.
00:14:29Are you going to join me?
00:14:38Do you think that's a good idea?
00:14:40Because the doctor hasn't diagnosed your mysterious stomach issue yet.
00:14:44I have a different kind of ache.
00:14:46And I need you to take care of this.
00:14:57Fine.
00:14:59Is that a Jackson Pollock?
00:15:01It is.
00:15:02It's my favorite piece of his.
00:15:04It's incredible.
00:15:06You hungry?
00:15:09Starved.
00:15:18You're awfully quiet.
00:15:20More like speechless.
00:15:21The food was amazing.
00:15:24Where did you learn to cook like that?
00:15:26It can sound cliche, but growing up, I spent more time in the kitchen with the staff than
00:15:30with my actual parents.
00:15:32I get it.
00:15:34You wouldn't.
00:15:36You're nothing like I thought you'd be.
00:15:39Dare I ask?
00:15:41Ruthless.
00:15:42Someone used to getting what they want at the expense of others.
00:15:45Someone who cares more about the bottom line than people?
00:15:51To most, I am that person.
00:15:55But to the ones I hold dear, the ones I choose to let in.
00:15:59Make no mistake, Claire.
00:16:16If you do betray me, you know forgiveness.
00:16:20Right back at you, Mr. Cross.
00:16:21I don't think that's a good idea.
00:16:45Hello?
00:16:48Hello?
00:16:49Hey, where are you?
00:16:50I found a place to hide out.
00:16:52The reporters are hounding me.
00:16:53Claire Bear, I know this isn't ideal, but I need you in the office right now.
00:16:58Not ideal.
00:16:59Ava practically told the whole world I'm crazy.
00:17:02Just forgive her.
00:17:03Poor Ava.
00:17:04The medication she's on is making her paranoid.
00:17:07Will I see you soon?
00:17:09Sure, Dylan.
00:17:10I'll see you soon.
00:17:14What are you doing?
00:17:17Just in case you need anything.
00:17:19Daddy.
00:17:20I mean, I was going to put a hug on you, but I said you're keeping me a secret.
00:17:24Bruno.
00:17:32What were you thinking, Claire?
00:17:33All you had to do was put on the damn bracelet and walk the runway show for Ava.
00:17:37Why would you draw that much attention to your legs?
00:17:40The bracelet was tailored to Ava's wrist, and she's bigger bones than me.
00:17:45It didn't fit.
00:17:46I had to improvise.
00:17:47That makes sense.
00:17:48You know, I knew Ava was dead set that you had some agenda against me, but I told her there's no way that you would sabotage me.
00:17:56We're getting married.
00:17:57You would love me.
00:17:58You would never hurt me.
00:17:59You're right, Dylan.
00:18:00You're right, Dylan.
00:18:01You know me so well.
00:18:02There's still a situation here, and if you don't do something to fix this, Muse will lose the Latour contract.
00:18:10This will cause a domino effect at the agency, and I won't be able to stop the cutbacks.
00:18:15Junior staff will lose their jobs.
00:18:17That includes Zoe.
00:18:18I can't have that.
00:18:21I can't have that.
00:18:23Well, there's not much time.
00:18:25My legal department has prepared a damage control script.
00:18:31Memorize it.
00:18:33You'll be meeting with the press in ten minutes.
00:18:35But this is a confession.
00:18:37I might not have a career after this.
00:18:40Well, let's be honest.
00:18:41Ava is our top billing model, then you, Claire, and never really took off.
00:18:46Despite all the opportunities I created for you.
00:18:51I get it.
00:18:52I'm expendable.
00:18:54One more thing.
00:18:57Stick to the script.
00:18:59No more improvising.
00:19:08Everything ready to go?
00:19:10My finger's on the trigger.
00:19:12I gotta go.
00:19:12Fire away.
00:19:13Okay.
00:19:14Please tell me you're not using a burner.
00:19:17What the hell are you?
00:19:21I'm thinking too small, Mookie.
00:19:26You love it.
00:19:33Members of the press, thank you for coming.
00:19:36In regards to the events that occurred at the True Love Fashion Show, I deeply regret any harm I caused Mr. Vincent Latour and his revered brand.
00:19:44I take full responsibility for my actions.
00:19:47New talent agency had no knowledge of my intention to take Ava's place on the runway.
00:19:54These photos would suggest otherwise.
00:19:59Photos.
00:19:59What photos?
00:20:05Photos.
00:20:06What photos?
00:20:06This is evidence that Ms. Duvall regularly pretends to be Ms. Bennett over the last two years.
00:20:13Surely the president of the company must have known.
00:20:16Right.
00:20:17Claire, if you're being used as a scapegoat and you want to be rescued, just blink twice.
00:20:22Ms. Duvall stands for your statement.
00:20:24She acted alone as the sole perpetrator.
00:20:26I, we, Newstown as a company had no idea of any and all prior incidents.
00:20:38We are done here.
00:20:40Wait a minute.
00:20:41Wait a minute.
00:20:42Wait a minute.
00:20:42Wait a minute.
00:20:42Wait a minute.
00:20:43Wait a minute.
00:20:44Wait a minute.
00:20:45Wait a minute.
00:20:46Wait a minute.
00:20:46Wait a minute.
00:20:46Mr. Maxwell.
00:20:47There's a couple of things.
00:20:48Wait a minute.
00:20:51Nicely done, Gavin.
00:20:53Thank you, Christian.
00:20:54Ladies had it under control.
00:20:56I just gave him a little boost.
00:20:58My wife's a force of nature.
00:21:00Yeah, she's had to be.
00:21:05Take a look at that.
00:21:11Here's what I got so far.
00:21:12Upon signing with Newstown Agency at 21, Claire Duvall was initially overseen by Miranda Maxwell.
00:21:19Now, Maxwell's older sister.
00:21:20Now, the chairman of Maxwell Holdings, we've crossed paths.
00:21:23Exactly.
00:21:24Claire was held a rising star in the modeling world.
00:21:27Then, inexplicably, her startup plummeted.
00:21:30Rumors began to spread that she was temperamental, or she would show up late for shoots, or not at all.
00:21:35It was even the suspicion that drugs were involved.
00:21:37Offers dried up completely.
00:21:39They deliberately ruined her.
00:21:40Claire's access to senior management was non-existent.
00:21:56She was relegated to a junior manager by the name of Zoe Bauer.
00:21:58And that's when Dilla Maxwell started dating Claire.
00:22:03He broke her down just so we could scoop her up.
00:22:07It doesn't make sense.
00:22:09Claire Duvall is the total package.
00:22:11Why would a talent agency tank the career of a supermodel in the making?
00:22:14Because there was more money to be made elsewhere.
00:22:19Someone's pulling Dilla Maxwell's strengths.
00:22:22We have to find the puppet master.
00:22:24Welcome to Tilly Maxwell's 플레이 attendees, who I'm going to host thispl撕.
00:22:30Music away.
00:22:30Bye Ende anyway.
00:22:31Bye Ende for her.

00:22:35Bye Ende for Trina.
00:22:38Bye Ende.

00:22:43Bye.
00:22:45Bye Ende the world.
00:22:46Bye Ende.
00:22:46Bye spreader.
00:22:47Byeération comfortably.
00:22:47Bye Gmail.
00:22:48Bye target.
00:22:49Bye for now.
00:22:49I'm going to be number three.
00:22:49Bye pillar of the world.
00:22:50I'll be number two.
00:22:50Bye fonConnell.
00:22:51Bye edge.
00:22:52Bye revolted.
00:22:52I'm going to be number one.
00:22:53What?
00:23:00Claire, the paparazzi keeps following me everywhere, but I think I can lose him.
00:23:05Can I come over?
00:23:07No. No, I'm crashing at Zodos.
00:23:10We need to strategize our next move.
00:23:12What next move? There is no next move. I've done my part and took the plane.
00:23:16No, no, no. It backfired. They're not after you now, Claire. They're after me.
00:23:20You could go and apologize to Ava.
00:23:23You can't be serious.
00:23:24No, I mean, if the press sees you do that, then...
00:23:27Then they'll think I'm crazy.
00:23:29They'll think you're repentant.
00:23:31And I'm starting to question your loyalty, Claire.
00:23:34Are you still with me?
00:23:39Of course, Dylan.
00:23:43I'll be right there.
00:23:50When she gets here, I say we put Claire in her place.
00:23:53The little prince is bowing before me. Genius. I love it.
00:23:57And everyone will see just how low she has fun.
00:24:00That little bitch needs it drilled into her sad head.
00:24:03That Dylan is mine.
00:24:06True that.
00:24:07Honestly, the one true star of Muse Talent Agency is Ava Bennett.
00:24:14Maxwell.
00:24:15I hear it.
00:24:16She's going to push your buttons.
00:24:20Don't let her.
00:24:21I won't.
00:24:27Stop. She's coming.
00:24:28Ava.
00:24:34Claire.
00:24:38Didn't you come here to do something like apologize?
00:24:42To moi.
00:24:43That's what Dylan wants.
00:24:45Then get to it.
00:24:46What is this?
00:24:55Well, if you really want to apologize to me...
00:24:59Then get down on your hands and knees.
00:25:04Then wash my feet.
00:25:11Just when I thought you couldn't think any lower, you surprised me.
00:25:16Doesn't really sound like an apology, does it?
00:25:19You know what, Ava?
00:25:22I am sorry.
00:25:24You know what, Ava?
00:25:26I am sorry.
00:25:28Seeing you like this.
00:25:30Seeing what you've become.
00:25:31Seeing just how far you'll go.
00:25:33To feed the emptiness inside of you.
00:25:36You know what?
00:25:36It's not your feet that need to be washed.
00:25:39It's that cold, black heart of yours.
00:25:43Bravo, Claire.
00:25:45How long have you been rehearsing that little speech?
00:25:47I'm still waiting on my apology.
00:25:50Tick tock.
00:25:52Then let me be perfectly clear.
00:25:55I will never, for as long as I live, apologize to the likes of you.
00:26:03Did you get all that?
00:26:10Hey fam, Reggie here.
00:26:12Welcome back to my channel.
00:26:13So, the past 40 hours have been a hooray crape.
00:26:17So, let's figure out what's going on in the battle royale of supermodels.
00:26:21I will never, for as long as I live, apologize to the likes of you.
00:26:27Ooh, listen here.
00:26:31Claire D was about to show all her true colors.
00:26:34But guess what, fam?
00:26:35That girl has nothing to apologize for.
00:26:37Not a zilch.
00:26:39Because this intrepid reporter has obtained intimate photos of Ava B and a certain Mutes CEO.
00:26:46Dylan M, aren't you engaged to Claire D?
00:26:50She just got to cheat.
00:26:50I guess.
00:26:51And listen here, Ava B.
00:26:53You are one of the naughty, nasty, disgusting little girl, by the way.
00:26:59So, tune in next week to do what happens on the battle royale of supermodels.
00:27:03I'm going to go ahead and watch my eyes out now, because I feel wrong.
00:27:08It's wrong.
00:27:09It's Reggie doing your anonymous tape and ran with it.
00:27:12It's brilliant, Claire.
00:27:13Oh, that, that was nothing.
00:27:16You're enjoying this.
00:27:18What's that old expression, revenge is sweet?
00:27:21I like this side of you.
00:27:23Then do you want to join me on part two of my revenge?
00:27:26Lead the way.
00:27:27Okay.
00:27:27Hey, it's Claire.
00:27:32Leave a message.
00:27:33Hey, Claire Bear.
00:27:34Um, I'm here where you told us to meet.
00:27:36Where are you?
00:27:38Okay, love.
00:27:38The Ava thing, it's not what it seems.
00:27:40Okay?
00:27:41We can talk about it when you get here.
00:27:43See you soon.
00:27:53I cannot tell you how many times I was one left hanging, waiting for him.
00:27:57Sometimes he would show.
00:28:00Most often, not at all.
00:28:02Do you still love him?
00:28:06How can I love someone I never really knew?
00:28:10Look at him over there.
00:28:12Plotting ways to get me back.
00:28:13He's clearly into Ava.
00:28:15Why is he trying so hard to salvage a relationship he cares nothing about?
00:28:18It's the million dollar question.
00:28:25Poor bastard.
00:28:27Do you want to keep watching?
00:28:30No.
00:28:31I'm ready to move forward.
00:28:33Let's go back to my house and get the last of my things.
00:28:35She came by this city night.
00:28:47Come in.
00:28:50Is this your family?
00:28:52Yeah.
00:28:53This is my debutante ball.
00:28:55I was 20.
00:28:56Is that a memorable night?
00:28:59Unforgettable.
00:28:59Claire?
00:29:02Claire?
00:29:03Where are you, Claire?
00:29:06Claire?
00:29:09Claire?
00:29:10There you are.
00:29:11What are you doing hiding out of here?
00:29:13This is your debut.
00:29:13I just need a moment, Mom.
00:29:17Hmm.
00:29:18Well, your grandmother's looking for you.
00:29:20She has someone she wants you to meet.
00:29:22It's quite a catch.
00:29:24I want more from this life than balls and suitable matches and this golden cage.
00:29:28There's a world out there to explore.
00:29:31Adventures to have risks to take.
00:29:33Enough of this nonsense, Claire.
00:29:36Your grandmother is not someone to be trifled to.
00:29:39Well, tell her thanks, but no thanks.
00:29:42Honestly, tell her I'd rather die than meet another boring, entitled rich boy that checks all of her boxes.
00:29:48Mrs. Don't be selfish.
00:29:51Can't afford a new scandal.
00:29:53Like when Dad...
00:29:55Like when Dad left his first wife for you?
00:30:07Remember who you are.
00:30:10The sole heiress to the Winthrop Empire.
00:30:13You need to stay here and do your part, young lady.
00:30:16I'm not your young lady.
00:30:19And I'm no longer a Winthrop.
00:30:22From now on, I'll forge my own path and make my own name.
00:30:27That was the last time I saw them before I ran away.
00:30:36They died in a helicopter crash a year later.
00:30:46Hmm, what's the vibe going to be today?
00:31:04Endless possibilities.
00:31:06So many to pick from.
00:31:07With AliExpress, you're covered wherever you go.
00:31:09Alice, did you see it?
00:31:14It should be me modeling for AliExpress.
00:31:17First the scandal and now this.
00:31:19The world is turning against me.
00:31:22I need you.
00:31:23You're not the only one going through shit, Ava.
00:31:26Why are you being so mean?
00:31:31My office.
00:31:32Now.
00:31:33Have your appetite, baby brother.
00:31:43This was supposed to be easy.
00:31:45And you're fucking it all up.
00:31:51Claire, it's me.
00:31:54I'm coming in, okay?
00:31:55Okay.
00:31:55Okay.
00:31:55Okay.
00:31:55Okay.
00:31:55Okay.
00:31:55Okay.
00:31:55Okay.
00:31:56Okay.
00:31:56Okay.
00:31:56Okay.
00:31:57Okay.
00:31:57Okay.
00:31:58Okay.
00:31:59Okay.
00:31:59Okay.
00:32:00Okay.
00:32:01Okay.
00:32:02Okay.
00:32:03Claire, do you have a plan backfire?
00:32:06Should I be worried?
00:32:07Where are you?
00:32:08I'm home.
00:32:10Bullshit.
00:32:11I am in your house.
00:32:13Yeah.
00:32:13I woke up this morning and got like a thousand texts from Dylan asking for a whereabouts.
00:32:17He wanted my address since you were crashing at my place, but we both know they're not on
00:32:22my place, not yours.
00:32:23So Claire, where are you?
00:32:25In the mood for a frittata.
00:32:28Frittata?
00:32:29Who's that?
00:32:29Yeah.
00:32:33So, I got married.
00:32:36Married?
00:32:37When?
00:32:38When?
00:32:38How?
00:32:39With?
00:32:40With who?
00:32:41With who?
00:32:42It's a long story.
00:32:43It's too long for a phone call.
00:32:45Stay put.
00:32:46Gavin will pick you up.
00:32:47Gavin?
00:32:48Who the hell is Gavin?
00:32:56Hey, Rookie.
00:32:57Gavin, I do service.
00:33:00You.
00:33:00Why would you do that?
00:33:07For being a farragut prick.
00:33:09You got a short fuse, Rookie.
00:33:11My name is Zoe.
00:33:14Apple.
00:33:14We're coming in.
00:33:32Hi.
00:33:37I'm Christian Cross.
00:33:39I'm Christian Cross.
00:33:41Believe me, Mr. Cross, I know who you are.
00:33:45Everybody knows.
00:33:46Call me Christian.
00:33:47I mean, Claire talks so much about you, I feel like I already know you.
00:33:50Yeah?
00:33:52Cool.
00:33:54Claire?
00:33:55A word?
00:33:59Excuse me.
00:34:03No kicks right now?
00:34:08Okay, Mr. Cross.
00:34:09Don't freak out.
00:34:10Too late.
00:34:12Christian Cross is your hug.
00:34:14Claire, this is like next, next level.
00:34:17Dylan is gonna shit himself.
00:34:20You couldn't ask for sweeter revenge than dumping that shriveled little worm and scoring
00:34:24the richest, baddest, sexiest dude in this whole freaking planet.
00:34:30Zoe, we can't tell anyone yet.
00:34:33Swear you won't say anything.
00:34:35I swear.
00:34:36This is going to be epic.
00:34:38Oh, my gosh.
00:34:46Dylan, what are you doing here?
00:34:48I need to talk to you.
00:34:50Doc, have you figured out what's wrong with your stomach?
00:34:53Yes.
00:34:53I predict that it will be resolved in nine months.
00:34:55Why?
00:34:56That's long.
00:34:57Medicine has come a long way, Mr. Maxwell.
00:34:59Well, but even science can't shorten the gestation period of a fetus.
00:35:04Huh.
00:35:04Okay, so, we stabilized your pregnancy and corrected your acutely.
00:35:13I mean, you're no longer at risk of miscarriage.
00:35:15But, if you continue to neglect your condition, you will need to come back and get on a transfusion.
00:35:21Do not wait until you faint this time, Ms. Bennett.
00:35:23Thanks, Dr.
00:35:24You're welcome.
00:35:25Okay, Ms. Bennett.
00:35:26Mr. Michael.
00:35:34No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:35:36I can't believe this.
00:35:39You're pregnant?
00:35:41Why wouldn't you tell me about this before?
00:35:43This is a fucking disaster.
00:35:46How can you have a bun in the oven and walk on the runway?
00:35:49Huh?
00:35:50You know what the press finds out?
00:35:52We're fucked.
00:35:53They will tear us to shreds.
00:35:55There is no coming back from this.
00:35:57Do you understand what you've done?
00:35:58If Claire finds out about this, she won't marry me.
00:36:00I've lost everything.
00:36:03How dare you?
00:36:04I am so sick and tired of hearing Claire's name.
00:36:09You are going to be a father now, Dylan.
00:36:11How can you just still marry her?
00:36:13You told me you don't love her anymore.
00:36:15I don't love her.
00:36:17Ava, it is...
00:36:18Then break up with her and marry me!
00:36:19It is not that simple.
00:36:21Claire is worth billions, or her family is.
00:36:25She is a winthrop.
00:36:26So you're telling me that that skank-leggy bitch is some secret heiress?
00:36:31When Claire became a model, she had to change her name because her family didn't approve.
00:36:38And how do you know this information?
00:36:40Miranda, my sister.
00:36:42She runs in the same circles as her grandmother.
00:36:45Just think about it.
00:36:46If I marry Claire, the only thing that's standing between me and three billion dollars is an ancient bitch who's about to fall over.
00:36:54You mean three billion dollars standing between us, right, Dylan?
00:37:00Of course, Ava.
00:37:01But in order for that to work, Claire will not succeed.
00:37:05And you have to be at the top of your game and win the competition.
00:37:09Or if that doesn't work, sabotage.
00:37:13Claire won't know what hit her.
00:37:14And we still have a Latour contract.
00:37:17So we can turn this thing around.
00:37:19You'll win top model at the competition.
00:37:22Claire will be crushed.
00:37:24And have to marry me.
00:37:26And then we'll tell everybody that you're abroad in Milan.
00:37:30Or you're having our baby.
00:37:32And once that elder bitch croaks,
00:37:34a series of unfortunate events will happen to Claire.
00:37:38Too bad.
00:37:39So sad.
00:37:40Bye-bye, Claire Bear.
00:37:41Bye-bye, Claire Bear.
00:37:42Well, after careful consideration,
00:37:51Latour has chosen Claire Duvall as the new face of our true love collection.
00:37:59I'm deeply honored by Ms. Latour's faith in me.
00:38:02And I look forward to representing such a prestigious global brain.
00:38:06Mr. Latour, a little birdie told me that Ava B's contract
00:38:10was terminated using a morality clause.
00:38:13Well, after the whole bathroom gate scandal.
00:38:17Can you blame me?
00:38:18But Ms. Duvall's not without her own controversy.
00:38:21Especially after impersonating Ava Bennett at her own show.
00:38:25What made you decide to give her a shot?
00:38:27Well,
00:38:28Christian, you are asking me to bet on an unproven model with a dubious past.
00:38:37I could tell you how brilliant she is,
00:38:39or how lucky you'd be to have her,
00:38:41but I'm not going to try to persuade you,
00:38:43because time will do that.
00:38:44What I will say is,
00:38:49if you don't hire Claire Duvall,
00:38:51Pinnacle will unilaterally stop moving with tour across all platforms,
00:38:55from film and television productions,
00:38:57to our cruise lines.
00:38:58Well,
00:39:01you know,
00:39:03when I decided to expand from a single shop on Jewelers Row
00:39:06to an international brand with shops on seven continents,
00:39:12someone took a chance on me.
00:39:14And it is finally time that I repay that favor.
00:39:17So,
00:39:18to the future of Latour,
00:39:19we are expecting great things from Ms. Duvall
00:39:23at her upcoming photoshoot in Seattle.
00:39:25When I asked you to move in,
00:39:33I never pictured you in the kitchen.
00:39:35It's quite a sight.
00:39:37You're not supposed to be home for another hour.
00:39:38I was going to clean up.
00:39:40Where's the staff?
00:39:41I gave them the night off so they could celebrate my gig.
00:39:45Okay,
00:39:45what did you hear all that?
00:39:47The oven.
00:39:49I totally forgot about the steaks.
00:39:55I like it that way.
00:39:58If a waiter asked me how I wanted it,
00:40:01I would say that.
00:40:01That looks good.
00:40:03But it's not good.
00:40:04Okay.
00:40:05Take out it is.
00:40:08First.
00:40:08First.
00:40:08First.
00:40:08First.
00:40:08First.
00:40:08First.
00:40:10First.

00:40:13First.
00:40:14First.
00:40:15First.
00:40:16First.
00:40:17First.
00:40:18First.
00:40:19First.
00:40:20First.
00:40:21First.
00:40:22First.
00:40:23First.
00:40:24First.
00:40:24First.
00:40:25Second.
00:40:26First.
00:40:27First.
00:40:28First.
00:40:29First.
00:40:29First.
00:40:30First.
00:40:31First.
00:40:33I always wondered what it would be like.
00:40:35Come home to someone at the end of the night.
00:40:38And?
00:40:38I just wanted to be you and me.
00:40:41Just you and me tonight.
00:40:44There's nowhere I'd rather be.
00:40:48If you feel so right.
00:40:51So long back, you're.
00:40:53Arms round me, walk and help me take
00:40:57I'm loving this feeling, give this away
00:41:04Take me, let me out
00:41:11So have your arms round me, walk and help me take
00:41:18I'm loving this feeling, give this away
00:41:26Take me, let me out
00:41:29To a place where no I can't find the stars
00:41:34Take me, let me out
00:41:36Take me, let me out
00:41:48If you wanted to be mine, you don't gotta be shy
00:41:57Relax your mind, relax your mind
00:42:01Don't take the time, don't take the time
00:42:04It's alright, it's alright
00:42:08Play what, stay the light
00:42:12So are you ever going to tell me
00:42:18Why you had to get married
00:42:19It's not a very romantic story
00:42:22And mine is, I think we're past that
00:42:24The crossmen throughout history
00:42:27Have always been adventurers
00:42:29Some I didn't say rogues
00:42:31There were quite a few rapes
00:42:33More than a few duels
00:42:35Why sir, how scandalous
00:42:37Scandalous
00:42:38I'm most assuredly intrigued
00:42:40A lot of them died really young
00:42:42Nowhere
00:42:44The crosses were literally dying off
00:42:47So, a codicil was added
00:42:50That required all crossmen to be married
00:42:52By the time we're 30
00:42:53They lose their inheritance
00:42:55Seriously?
00:42:56Seriously?
00:42:56Seriously
00:42:57I turned 30
00:42:59On that day
00:43:01That was your birthday
00:43:04You didn't even celebrate
00:43:07That day
00:43:08You came home with me
00:43:11Christian!
00:43:30My dear!
00:43:41How is your evening going so far?
00:43:44Yeah, good so far.
00:43:45Thank you for inviting me.
00:43:46Of course.
00:43:47And your ventures.
00:43:49Tell me about your most recent acquisition.
00:43:51Silicon Valley startup with a promising artificial intelligence.
00:43:55I think it could be a game changer.
00:43:58Speaking of change, have you found anyone special?
00:44:02Not yet.
00:44:03I'm still searching.
00:44:04Well, then you must meet my granddaughter, Claire.
00:44:09There she is.
00:44:11There she is.
00:44:18You need to stay here and do your part, young lady.
00:44:23From now on, I'll forge my own path and make my own name.
00:44:29Do not test me, Miss Winthrop.
00:44:31Throwing away a billion dollar trust fund for a whimsical game of independence.
00:44:49Don't you worry.
00:44:51I'll bring her to heel.
00:44:52Don't bother.
00:44:53I have no interest in a bride who's been coerced in artificial intelligence.
00:44:57I think it could be a game changer.
00:44:59Speaking of change, have you found anyone special?
00:45:03Not yet.
00:45:05I'm still searching.
00:45:05Well, then you must meet my granddaughter, Claire.
00:45:11There she is.
00:45:18There she is.
00:45:20You need to stay here and do your part, young lady.
00:45:23From now on, I'll forge my own path and make my own name.
00:45:27Do not test me, Miss Winthrop.
00:45:44Throwing away a billion dollar trust fund for a whimsical game of independence.
00:45:49Don't you worry.
00:45:52I'll bring her to heel.
00:45:53Don't bother.
00:45:55I have no interest in a bride who's been coerced.
00:46:05Hey.
00:46:07You're so beautiful.
00:46:10I need something.
00:46:15Isn't it real for me?
00:46:16I promise I'll never forget that.
00:46:20I promise.
00:46:41My meetings at Pinnacle should end around five.
00:46:44And they're done here on some of the car.
00:46:45Like it's in that city.
00:46:47I can't wait.
00:46:49Anais Adler is one of the most famous fashion photographers in the world.
00:46:53Christian, what if I freeze up or stumble or choke or something?
00:46:57I mean, you're spectacular.
00:46:58Because you are spectacular.
00:47:01Okay?
00:47:01A private plane, limousine to the chute, and a hunky mogul waiting for you afterward?
00:47:22Sign me up.
00:47:24These last five years, I've had such bad luck.
00:47:26But since Christian came into my life, I think my luck has finally changed.
00:47:31No one deserves it more than you do, Claire.
00:47:40Now let's get in there and blow them all away.
00:47:42I'm with you today.
00:47:55Claire's my girl.
00:47:56I've got this.
00:47:57I think, Miss Bauer, that we got off on the wrong foot.
00:48:01I think you're an excellent manager.
00:48:03And under normal circumstances, it's devolved being great hands.
00:48:07But?
00:48:07There are dark forces at play.
00:48:11Claire's going to need all the help she can get.
00:48:14Choose.
00:48:15For Claire.
00:48:17Choose.
00:48:22Oh.
00:48:23Good day.
00:48:24This is AFL's date.
00:48:26Ah, you're so novelist, sweet.
00:48:28Of course.
00:48:29You may be the one.
00:48:30No?
00:48:31So, what necklace do you wear?
00:48:33Come.
00:48:34See you, please?
00:48:35That one.
00:48:36Oh, incredible.
00:48:43Breathe.
00:48:44Breathe.
00:48:45Oh, dear.
00:48:46Your eyes have so much hope in three.
00:48:52Breathe.
00:48:54Claire, come.
00:48:55Rest.
00:48:56The male model, he should be here any moment.
00:48:58And let's hope whoever they sent can match their looks and their talents.
00:49:03It is tragic.
00:49:04We never worked together before.
00:49:06Let's deal.
00:49:08No, you're great.
00:49:13It's happening.
00:49:14It's finally happening.
00:49:19Don, you scared me.
00:49:20What are you doing here?
00:49:21The last time that I checked, we were still engaged.
00:49:23So, I have every right to see my fiancé?
00:49:26Yeah, well, you lost that right when you slept with Ava.
00:49:30Now, that was a one-time thing.
00:49:32All right, and it didn't mean anything at all.
00:49:34But we could have moved past it.
00:49:36But you would have just returned my calls.
00:49:39Come on.
00:49:40Don't be like this to me.
00:49:42Not after everything I've done for you.
00:49:45Done for me?
00:49:47You weren't just a crappy boyfriend, tell me.
00:49:49You were a crappy agent, too.
00:49:51I don't know how you tricked Latour into giving you this gig.
00:49:55But you're making a fool of yourself.
00:49:58The days of pretending to be a model, they're over, Claire.
00:50:02All right, you're coming home with me right now.
00:50:04We'll get married in Vegas on our way back.
00:50:07You know, we're over.
00:50:11We've been over for a long time, too.
00:50:14Leave.
00:50:14We've been over for a long time.
00:50:18Leave.
00:50:22You're hurting me.
00:50:23I haven't even begun to hurt you.
00:50:25You know, my biggest mistake was being too gentle with you.
00:50:29You know that model that's supposed to show up today?
00:50:31He's not coming.
00:50:32Your biggest break is about to be your worst nightmare.
00:50:38Nobody will show up for you after your little drama today ruins this shoot.
00:50:43You think you're too good for me, Claire?
00:50:45Huh?
00:50:46You will never escape from me.
00:50:48Claire, no!
00:50:50Hey, you need to leave.
00:50:52Now.
00:50:52I'm going.
00:50:55I'll see you soon, Claire Bear.
00:50:59Are you okay?
00:51:02No.
00:51:02Dylan canceled the male model.
00:51:06No one's coming.
00:51:07When Latour finds out, I'm ruined.
00:51:12There's no time to fix this.
00:51:14You thinking what I'm thinking?
00:51:20Hey.
00:51:23How quick can you get to the studio?
00:51:25Year one foot traffic, what are we projecting?
00:51:28Fifteen million.
00:51:29Concerted at the degree.
00:51:30And if we surpass that?
00:51:31Ten percent dollars is currently.
00:51:33Straight up.
00:51:42Let's make history together.
00:51:44Excuse me.
00:51:48How quick can you get to the studio?
00:51:53Hello, Vincent.
00:51:54This is catastrophe.
00:51:56My time, it does not extend eternal.
00:51:59No.
00:51:59Where is the lover to complete the true love piece de resistance, huh?
00:52:05Annie, he's just...
00:52:06I know.
00:52:06I am sorry.
00:52:07We are scrambling to find somebody.
00:52:10But nothing is looking good.
00:52:12Claire Duvall, I am telling you, disaster just follows this chick wherever she goes.
00:52:18Crisis of Earth.
00:52:32The lover is here.
00:52:36And won't do what a lover he is.
00:52:39Thank you for doing this.
00:52:44He touched you.
00:52:46Maxwell will pay for this.
00:52:48He retouches my wife.
00:52:53Quick, quick.
00:52:54Get the lover in costume.
00:52:56Please.
00:52:59Excuse me, Ms. Adler.
00:53:01Let's try not to show his face.
00:53:02Mr. Cross really values his privacy.
00:53:04I have an NDA here for you and the crew who signed.
00:53:07Thank you so much.
00:53:08Wait.
00:53:09Now.
00:53:11This is the grand gesture.
00:53:13The moment of do or die.
00:53:16The height of love romance.
00:53:19Voilà.
00:53:19There he is, Claire.
00:53:20Down on my knee.
00:53:22Ring in hand.
00:53:23Question in his eyes.
00:53:28And you.
00:53:29Your heart says,
00:53:30We hold it.
00:53:32This is the dream country.
00:53:35True romance.
00:53:38Nice.
00:53:51Christian Cross.
00:53:53I'll be damned.
00:53:56The bond, it has a mature.
00:53:59Deep.
00:54:00Eh?
00:54:01No matter what life threw at you,
00:54:05it cannot tell you about.
00:54:07Huh?
00:54:10Look into each other's eyes and whisper.
00:54:15Hey, Worship.
00:54:17Hey, Huggy.
00:54:21This campaign is going to be a massive hit.
00:54:24Hey, fam.
00:54:28Reggie here.
00:54:30So, buckle up, because this week, oh boy, oh boy, we have the drama for the Battle Royale of the Supermodels.
00:54:37First up, let's look at the creme de la creme of the nominees.
00:54:40Of course, top of the list is our reigning queen, Ava B.
00:54:43But hold up, girlfriend, because guess what?
00:54:46We have a stunning newcomer, and Claire D.
00:54:49And we all know how she's skyrocketed to fame.
00:54:52Of course, by what?
00:54:54Drum roll, please.
00:54:55Yep.
00:54:56That's right.
00:54:57The Latour True Love Campaign.
00:54:59Shot by the one and only, Anais Adler.
00:55:02Claire Dugan.
00:55:03She plants in male beauty.
00:55:07General sake, why?
00:55:08A soulful essence in her eye.
00:55:11Say Maggie beauty.
00:55:13That's right.
00:55:14The Latour True Love Campaign.
00:55:17Ladies and gentlemen, fams, clarity is literally the personification of grace.
00:55:22And the chemistry in this shoot?
00:55:23Oh, my God.
00:55:25It was off, off, off, off the chain.
00:55:27And who on earth is the stunning, ruthless model with that sexy back?
00:55:32Oh, yum, yum, yum.
00:55:33Oh, my God.
00:55:34Why?
00:55:35I need so much more.
00:55:37I have literally been emailing Mr. Vitz Latour daily, trying to get the big reveal.
00:55:42Ahem.
00:55:43Dear Mr. Vitz Latour, here hee, here hee.
00:55:47You are the worst.
00:55:47I cannot stand you.
00:55:49And you are killing me with the suspense.
00:55:50Sincerely, Richard.
00:55:52Now, the couple embodies the timeless quality of true love.
00:55:56And we are honored and proud of the positive feedback that this campaign has generated.
00:56:02Now, of course, we all know Mr. Vitz Latour is going to make so much mucho dinero off this campaign.
00:56:09But friends, fams, we are only one week away from the Battle Royale, the top model competition.
00:56:17And guess what?
00:56:18Mr. Vitz Latour is going to be a judge.
00:56:20So I might just have to slide on over to him and ask him in person who this sexy back is.
00:56:26Listen, because guess what, fans?
00:56:29That's right.
00:56:30George truly has been tapped by the network to host the top model competition.
00:56:37Oh, my God.
00:56:39Oh, you like me.
00:56:40You really do like me.
00:56:41You really like me.
00:56:43Who the fuck is this guy?
00:56:52I did everything in my power to make sure the male model would not show up so Claire would fall on her face.
00:56:57She always just lands on her feet.
00:56:58Looks like she's landing more than just on her feet.
00:57:05On a kitchen counter.
00:57:07In a hallway.
00:57:09On the stairs.
00:57:11Against a shower wall.
00:57:12Ava, get your mind off the gutter.
00:57:14That's not what you were telling me last night.
00:57:16No, we're talking about Claire here.
00:57:18She's not like you.
00:57:19Claire, she's such a saint, huh?
00:57:25The Vestal Virgin.
00:57:27If she's so special, then why didn't you knock her up instead?
00:57:32Oh, wait.
00:57:32I know why.
00:57:33Because Claire didn't like you that much.
00:57:36And now that she's with a guy that she actually likes, you can't handle it, can you?
00:57:45I don't think so.
00:57:46I'm not some meek bitch that's going to stand for your shit.
00:57:50I am the only one that's going to make sure that Claire doesn't win top model from inside the competition.
00:57:55Don't get too full of yourself, Ava.
00:57:58You're not the only one.
00:57:59Who else do you have in your pocket?
00:58:02What aren't you telling me?
00:58:04Stick to your plan to sabotage Claire.
00:58:07I'll handle mine.
00:58:08Fine.
00:58:09You keep your secrets.
00:58:11I'll keep mine.
00:58:16We need two games.
00:58:20It's too dangerous.
00:58:22The usual spot.
00:58:24We're in 201.
00:58:25I'll be there.
00:58:30Hey, no peeking.
00:58:32Just like a little kid.
00:58:35It's a surprise.
00:58:36Just a few more steps.
00:58:39Shouldn't you be swamped with work?
00:58:40Well, it can wait.
00:58:42You are my priority.
00:58:43You need the perfect armor for combat.
00:58:57That's such a guy thing to say.
00:58:59It's a modeling competition, not war.
00:59:02Make no mistake, Claire.
00:59:03It is war.
00:59:05And I'll be there for you.
00:59:08Oh, did I forget to mention Pentacles and network televising the event?
00:59:11You definitely did not mention that, no?
00:59:16For my wife, Claire.
00:59:18A witness of the world.
00:59:30You should choose your words more carefully.
00:59:34I don't take well to threats.
00:59:36Well, you should have thought about that before you failed so miserably.
00:59:41Let's not forget.
00:59:44I own you.
00:59:45I'll admit, Claire being nominated to top model does put an unexpected wrinkle in...
00:59:53Choose your words more carefully.
00:59:58I don't take well to threats.
01:00:00Well, you should have thought about that before you failed so miserably.
01:00:05Let's not forget.
01:00:06I own you.
01:00:09I'll admit, Claire being nominated to top model does put an unexpected wrinkle in...
01:00:16Wrinkle?
01:00:17You were supposed to end this modeling nonsense.
01:00:20Not long for it to the stratosphere.
01:00:22Your granddaughter hasn't won yet.
01:00:24And, if you play your part, Claire will walk down that runway and crash and burn.
01:00:37Start talking.
01:00:38Here's what we do.
01:00:41I cannot wait to knock off that old battle axe.
01:00:52Oh, we'll fall in the shower.
01:00:57A mix of medication...
01:00:58All right, focus, Dylan.
01:01:01That will happen after you marry Claire.
01:01:04Now, I need you to go visit Bruno Lundy.
01:01:08Make sure he knows he won't be a judge this year.
01:01:13Convince him it's worth his while.
01:01:15And that old bat?
01:01:16You think she's up for it?
01:01:17She'll do it.
01:01:19Grace Winthrop has controlled that family for 50 years.
01:01:26No one has even stood up to her.
01:01:29Except Claire.
01:01:31She doesn't just want Claire back in the fold.
01:01:33She wants Claire under her thumb.
01:01:37Just hold tight, Gavin.
01:01:44I'll let you not try to speak with Claire.
01:01:49Morning, puppy.
01:01:53I need you to sit down.
01:01:55What's wrong, Christian?
01:01:56You're scaring me.
01:01:59The head of production at Hennical noticed a judge change in the competition.
01:02:02Really an easy way to say this, Claire.
01:02:05Your grandmother's going to be one of the judges.
01:02:07What?
01:02:09That's not possible.
01:02:11She would never...
01:02:12There's been a mistake.
01:02:13She despises modeling.
01:02:14She hates that I became one.
01:02:16Why would she do this?
01:02:29My own grandmother is going to vote against me.
01:02:32I can't escape her.
01:02:34This isn't the first time your grandmother's tried to destroy your career, Claire.
01:02:40I had investigators looking at Dylan and Miranda.
01:02:43What do they have to do with this?
01:02:45Two years ago, Maxwell Holdings was on the verge of bankruptcy from a series of bad investments
01:02:50and poorly timed expansions.
01:02:52Muse and all of its subsidiaries were on the chopping block.
01:02:55Then, they received an influx of cash from a new, silent partner.
01:03:01Winthrop Limited.
01:03:02Yes.
01:03:04In terms of the deal, that I, Dylan and Miranda, were going to do everything with power to derail the future of a promising young model.
01:03:10You, Claire.
01:03:16So, all the rumors that I was on drugs, incompetent, unstable, my own grandmother was behind all of it.
01:03:23Yeah, but you were more stubborn than they calculated.
01:03:26You never gave up, Claire.
01:03:27I saw her manage everyone in my family.
01:03:31My own parents were like sycophantic puppets in her grasp.
01:03:34But I never thought she'd go to such lengths to control me.
01:03:38It's like she doesn't see me as a real person, with needs and fears and dreams.
01:03:42That's her loss.
01:03:44Claire?
01:03:45I wonder if marrying Dylan was a part of her plan.
01:03:49I mean, she's tried to marry me off before.
01:03:53Then you must meet my granddaughter, Claire.
01:03:57There she is.
01:04:03Okay, about that.
01:04:07About that.
01:04:08As if I'd marry someone she chose.
01:04:10Have you found anyone special?
01:04:14Then you must meet my granddaughter, Claire.
01:04:19I don't believe that your grandmother would consider Dylan for you.
01:04:23That has Miranda Maxwell written all over it.
01:04:26Your grandmother never technically disinherited you.
01:04:29As her sole surviving heir, Dylan stood to come in a billionth after marrying you.
01:04:33Yeah, but my grandmother's still alive.
01:04:36Yes, there is that.
01:04:40I just want a fair competition, where I win or lose on my own merits.
01:04:46Not because the deck is stacked against me.
01:04:49Your grandmother's just one judge.
01:04:52There are three others.
01:04:53Hey, sexy.
01:05:00Hey, sexy.
01:05:16Claire, one more.
01:05:17One more, one more, one more, one more.
01:05:18Claire, Claire, right here.
01:05:19Claire, who's taking home the top model title tonight?
01:05:22You are Ava Bennett.
01:05:23Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
01:05:25There are ten models in this competition who got here through hard work and talent.
01:05:30This is a night to celebrate all of us.
01:05:32A time to honor...
01:05:33I can't escape her.
01:05:40This isn't the first time your grandmother's tried to destroy your career.
01:05:45That's all, folks.
01:05:47Ms. Vaughn has a big net ahead of her.
01:05:49Claire, how do you know Christian Grant?
01:05:51I think I'm going to be sick.
01:05:56I didn't expect it to be that hard, seeing her like this.
01:05:59Hey, hang tight, Claire.
01:06:00Uh, Gavin, help her.
01:06:02I'll go get her wet towel.
01:06:05Do you want a water or something?
01:06:06Yes.
01:06:10Just try to relax.
01:06:16I think I'm going to be sick.
01:06:20Check and see if anyone's inside, Simon.
01:06:50All right, host, it's clear.
01:07:00I've got to be back at the judge's table in five minutes, so we've got to be quick.
01:07:05Then shut up and get busy.
01:07:09Gross.
01:07:10Yuck.
01:07:11Not again.
01:07:14Maybe you saucy mace.
01:07:16Kill him.
01:07:17Show me, sexy.
01:07:18See?
01:07:20Belly of yours.
01:07:21Oh, so young.
01:07:22It was my baby.
01:07:23Come to bar.
01:07:24Holy shit.
01:07:26No freaking way.
01:07:43Hey, Christian.
01:07:44You wouldn't believe what Ava's been up to.
01:07:49I'm listening.
01:07:51Not now.
01:07:52I don't want to distract Claire, but why the bombshell?
01:07:57I can barely contain my excitement.
01:08:02Where are you sitting?
01:08:04Behind the judges.
01:08:05First bro.
01:08:06Hey.
01:08:07Why is she?
01:08:09You all right?
01:08:09Sure, hubby.
01:08:11The last remaining member of my family is here to ruin me.
01:08:14I'm doing awesome.
01:08:15Breathe, Claire.
01:08:17You got this.
01:08:19It gets to be too much.
01:08:20Just find me in the crowd.
01:08:21Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 23rd Top Model Competition.
01:08:31Powered by AliExpress.
01:08:34Where fashion meets savvy budget.
01:08:37Find the perfect outfit for you.
01:08:39And you can accept.
01:08:41Now, let's get to the giants of fashion and glamour who will be judging tonight's Super Model Finals.
01:08:47First, in the world of children, the legend, whose styles adorn the stars, Vincent Latour.
01:08:58Next, he is the visionary behind so many iconic faces in the industry.
01:09:03Simon Blackwell of Blackwell Modeling Town.
01:09:07Our third judge is Kiko Watanabe, actress extraordinaire under the physical network band.
01:09:14And last, and by no means least, she is our substitute judge who stepped in for Bruno Lundy after his unfortunate fall-down staircase.
01:09:23Our prayers are with you, Bruno, as you get through this coma.
01:09:27The one, the only, Grace Winthrop.
01:09:29Of Winthrop's limited day.
01:09:31The seven-generation dynasty of department stores.
01:09:35The two, Grace Winthrop.
01:09:45I'm fucking in, Mama.
01:09:47We're almost there.
01:09:48This didn't make Felix tighter.
01:09:51A masterpiece.
01:09:53Not yet.
01:09:54We have other plans tonight, remember?
01:09:56Remember?
01:10:02Leave it to me, Your Highness.
01:10:04Your baby's got you.
01:10:16What are you doing?
01:10:17You brute?
01:10:19I've been down to pick up my name tag.
01:10:21Are you security or shall I call security?
01:10:24Just get out of here.
01:10:29Move.
01:10:30Move.
01:10:30You made the best bitch win, bitch.
01:10:36Don't listen to her.
01:10:41Next up is Ava Bennett, our reigning top contestant for the past three years.
01:10:45She slays harder than Santa, so watch out for those reindeer.
01:10:47Let's go.
01:11:10All right.
01:11:11Next up is Claire Duvall, whose meteoric rise in the industry has caught everyone off guard.
01:11:32You heard the music.
01:11:36Next up is Claire Duvall, whose meteoric rise in the industry has caught everyone off guard.
01:11:41Next up is Claire Duvall.
01:11:45Next up is Claire Duvall.
01:11:48Next up is Claire Duvall, whose meteoric rise is a new meteoric rise in the industry.
01:11:59Now, we're going to have a new meteoric rise in the industry.
01:12:04Come on, my love.
01:12:20Rise up and show them who you are.
01:12:34Your girl's career imploded before it even took off.
01:12:38Are you making a fool of yourself?
01:12:40The days of pretending to be a model, they're over, Claire.
01:12:45Ava is our top-level model.
01:12:47And you, Claire.
01:12:50I never really took off.
01:12:52You've lost everything.
01:12:54And you just don't know it yet.
01:12:58Come on, my love.
01:13:00Rise up and show them who you are.
01:13:01From now on, I'll forge my own path and make my own name.
01:13:09I will forge my own path and make my own name.
01:13:31I will forge my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path and make my own path.
01:13:55Oh, my God.
01:14:25Get off me!
01:14:28I can't show you.
01:14:35Way to go, Claire.
01:14:36You just let go.
01:14:37And now the moment you've all been waiting for.
01:14:56Oh, my God.
01:15:01Folks, we just had a glitch in the Matrix.
01:15:03Something that has never happened in the 23 years of top model competition.
01:15:07A tie between Ava Bennett and Claire Duvall.
01:15:09What?
01:15:19Seriously?
01:15:20Clearly, Matora has something going on with Claire.
01:15:23Really, Ava?
01:15:24Because last I checked, you and Judge Simon Blackwell have been getting a little too cozy and...
01:15:30Whoops!
01:15:31There's a mini blackwell on the way.
01:15:33Yep, she's expecting his baby.
01:15:36His baby?
01:15:38Oh, that's my baby.
01:15:41Hey, easy.
01:15:42Relax, man.
01:15:43Relax.
01:15:43Relax.
01:15:47Get a grip, both of you.
01:15:49Vote, vote, vote, vote, vote, vote.
01:15:51Let's not turn this into a daytime drama, okay, people?
01:15:53Well, we are here to crown a winner, which means we need a decisive vote.
01:15:57Top model competition rules state that in the event of a tie, we will have an independent third party to determine who has won.
01:16:04So, we are now bringing out the big guns.
01:16:06Christian Cross, CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment, you're up, sir.
01:16:10Mr. Cross, we're now cast for tie-breaking guns.
01:16:24So, who will be the 23rd winner of the top model competition?
01:16:28There's only one person who embodies the grace, character, and beauty of a top model.
01:16:41And that is Claire Duvall.
01:16:52But I have a conflict of interest, because Claire Duvall is not just a top model contestant.
01:16:58She's also my wife.
01:17:02Claire Duvall, girls.
01:17:16Seriously?
01:17:17This is so unfair.
01:17:18Of course she gets it, and all I have is...
01:17:21She was sleeping with him while she was with me.
01:17:32How dare she?
01:17:33Clue in, Dylan.
01:17:35We need to do damage control.
01:17:36Grace Winthrop could pull our whole loan after this.
01:17:39We could lose everything.
01:17:41Detective?
01:17:42He's still right here.
01:17:43What?
01:17:44Miranda Maxwell.
01:17:45Dylan Maxwell.
01:17:45You're both under arrest for conspiracy and commit murder.
01:17:48No, this is a mistake.
01:17:50Get your hands off me!
01:17:52Totally epic.
01:17:59Nicely done, my boy.
01:18:02What are you talking about?
01:18:05Are you going to tell her, Christian, or am I?
01:18:08Tell me what?
01:18:09See that man there?
01:18:11The one that's standing next to you?
01:18:13The one you wed?
01:18:15He was my choice for you.
01:18:17I set you up with him five years ago.
01:18:23To think, Claire, all those years of defying me, and you ended up exactly where I wanted you.
01:18:31Is this true?
01:18:40Yes.
01:18:42That day outside the courthouse, there wasn't a setup.
01:18:46Then why hide the connection to my grandmother?
01:18:48Why the lies?
01:18:49Because I knew how bad it looked, especially after Maxwell tried to use you.
01:18:53How can I believe you?
01:18:56Because we're meant to be together.
01:18:57Because we're meant to be together.
01:19:03I've never seen a model come on stage like you did a thing.
01:19:06You're a nobody.
01:19:08You're not a nobody.
01:19:10And we keep your eyes off you.
01:19:17These last five years, I've had such bad luck.
01:19:19But since Christian came into my life, I think my luck has finally changed.
01:19:23This is real for me.
01:19:37I promise you'll never forget that.
01:19:40I promise.
01:19:41I promise.
01:19:44I promise.
01:19:49Whatever it is, fate, luck, whatever you want to call it, Christian, I'm all in.
01:19:53I'll wash my hands of both of you.
01:20:17Are you ready to meet my family?
01:20:19Hey, fans.
01:20:24Reggie here.
01:20:25Big love to Bruno Lundy, who is recovering from his coma.
01:20:28This is nuts!
01:20:30Bruno just got out of his coma!
01:20:32How can he remember his name?
01:20:33He can't even remember mine!
01:20:35Shut up, Dylan.
01:20:36Shut up, Dylan!
01:20:38Shut up, Dylan!
01:20:39I want my lawyer!
01:20:41Now!
01:20:41Meanwhile, Ava B has quit modeling to focus on becoming a full-time mother.
01:20:45Yeah, I can't even say that with a straight face.
01:20:49We all know what you're doing for money, don't we?
01:20:53Now, let's get to the real big news.
01:20:58The crosses are expected!
01:21:01That's right, you heard it here first.
01:21:03Claire D. and Christian Cross are expecting a little mini cross!
01:21:07I'm so excited!
01:21:12So, you can expect it to be epic!
01:21:16Be sure to subscribe and tune in to Real Shorts.
01:21:19Of course, with Reggie here, so you can catch all the drama, all the tea, and all the supermodels slightly.
01:21:25Bye!
01:21:26Thank you for listening!
