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.
00:01:17Yeah!
00:01:18Woo!
00:01:18Woo!
00:01:19Okay, wait.
00:01:20You guys look so good.
00:01:21I need a photo.
00:01:22Round it.
00:01:23Two, three.
00:01:24Lucky bitch.
00:01:26Declare!
00:01:28It's Dylan!
00:01:29Woo!
00:01:30Drink more, baby.
00:01:38So, you proposed to that bitch.
00:01:41You're so fucking sexy.
00:01:45I might do it now.
00:01:46I don't know.
00:01:48Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:01:48Hey, what do you do?
00:01:49What do you do?
00:01:51Don't worry about her.
00:01:52I slipped over with something.
00:01:54She won't know.
00:01:54Come on.
00:01:59Oh, my God.
00:02:03Oh, my God.
00:02:05Oh, my God.
00:02:05Oh, my God.
00:02:06Oh, my God.
00:02:06Oh, my God.
00:02:06Oh, my God.
00:02:06Oh, my God.
00:02:06Oh, my God.
00:02:07Oh, my God.
00:02:07Oh, my God.
00:02:07Oh, my God.
00:02:08Oh, my God.
00:02:11You've lost everything, and you just don't know it yet.
00:02:26I'm pregnant with Dylan's child.
00:02:29He won't show up tomorrow.
00:02:31Rise and shine.
00:02:35Wait.
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.
00:02:46Oh, speaking of luck.
00:02:47I'll write for 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.
00:03:02Let's go.
00:03:02Is it really a dream?
00:03:10Dylan, where are you?
00:03:12Hey, hey.
00:03:13I'm at the hospital.
00:03:15Are you okay?
00:03:15What happened?
00:03:16No, I'm fine.
00:03:18Eva, 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.
00:03:25He won't show up tomorrow.
00:03:30Just you wait.
00:03:34He's fine.
00:03:39I'm with her now.
00:03:40So, 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.
00:03:45But Eva really needs me.
00:03:48Come on, Claire Bear.
00:03:49You know I love you.
00:03:51Hey, I gotta go.
00:03:52I gotta go.
00:03:55It wasn't a dream.
00:04:13It's real.
00:04:16It's all real.
00:04:17It's all real.
00:04:25Christian, your fiancé refuses to sign the prenup, and now she won't answer her phone.
00:04:35She stalled for the wedding day.
00:04:38This is Blackman.
00:04:39Cut her loose.
00:04:40That's Christian Cross.
00:04:42The CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment.
00:04:47Christian, your father doesn't care who I marry as long as it gets done today.
00:04:52Find me another girl.
00:04:53About an hour.
00:04:55I must be crazy to even consider this.
00:04:59Mr. Cross?
00:05:10I have a proposition for you.
00:05:11My 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, Miss 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.
00:05:38Gavin?
00:05:42Already on it.
00:05:43Claire Duvall, 25.
00:05:45No criminal record.
00:05:46Model with Newstown Agency, and unmarried.
00:05:54Deal.
00:05:55Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Cross.
00:06:20So, 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.
00:06:38I'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.
00:06:45Fair enough.
00:06:46One more thing.
00:06:48I need this marriage to appear as real as possible.
00:06:50That means living under the same roof.
00:06:54Oh.
00:06:55I 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.
00:07:03Gab will be in touch.
00:07:04That 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.
00:07:53You 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.
00:08:17I promised.
00:08:22You don't know just how sorry you're gonna be.
00:08:27Welcome to the Vincent Latour Jewelry Showcase.
00:08:29With fashion outfits provided by AliExpress.
00:08:38I'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.
00:08:46Sad as it is.
00:08:48Piss off Felix, you insufferable parasites.
00:08:50At least Ava's set to win the top model competition.
00:08:53Third year in a row.
00:08:54Your girl's career imploded before it even took off.
00:08:57Uh, 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.
00:09:11Silly, what are you doing?
00:09:13I'm grabbing your model gift 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.
00:09:21Hand me the bracelet.
00:09:25Modeling our next piece of the true love collection is Ava Benning.
00:09:29Behold, the Juliet bracelet.
00:09:35Cracked with 36 resquiced emeralds and 15 flawless diamonds.
00:09:40This 22-carat one graces the wrist already.
00:09:44It is Ava Benning.
00:09:49What is that?
00:09:53I've never done anklets.
00:09:54I hate anklets.
00:10:00Oh, I'm a 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.
00:10:13Well, hello.
00:10:16That is not Ava Benning.
00:10:18She does not possess fabulous legs like that.
00:10:21What is she up to?
00:10:23She was 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.
00:10:37Mask up.
00:10:37Mask up.
00:10:37Well, let's all see where we're hiding here.
00:10:40Where did you come from?
00:10:51That's very wrong.
00:10:53A nobody and now a thief.
00:10:56How dare you steal Ava Benning'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 this evening.
00:11:09Well, it's a good thing I did.
00:11:14You all right?
00:11:16I am now.
00:11:22Joan Fairchild, Clamber Magazine.
00:11:24Does this make your first return to the runway?
00:11:27How do you know the CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment, Christian Cross?
00:11:29Is there bad blood between you and Ava Benning?
00:11:32No comment.
00:11:33No comment.
00:11:39Need 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.
00:12:39Just 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.
00:13:48Miss 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.
00:14:33Are 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.
00:14:57What?
00:14:59Is that a Jackson Pollock?
00:15:01It is.
00:15:02It's my favorite piece of this.
00:15:04It's incredible.
00:15:06You hungry?
00:15:09Starved.
00:15:18You're awfully quiet.
00:15:20More like speechless.
00:15:22The 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 with my actual parents.
00:15:32I get it.
00:15:34No, you 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.
00:15:46Someone who cares more about the bottom line than people.
00:15:49To the most, I am that person.
00:15:55To the ones I hold dear.
00:15:57The 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.
00:16:21Yes.
00:16:34What?
00:16:36Sorry, I must have dosed on.
00:16:38Hold on.
00:16:38Let me get that.
00:16:39I don't think that's a good idea.
00:16:41No.
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 be hugged with you, but I said you're keeping me a secret.
00:17:24Bruno.
00:17:32What were you thinking, Claire?
00:17:34All you had to do was put on the damn bracelet and walk the runway show for Ava.
00:17:38Why would you draw that much attention to your legs?
00:17:41The 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.
00:17:49You know, I knew Ava was dead set that you had some agenda against me, but I told her
00:17:54there'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.
00:18:01You're right, Dylan.
00:18:01You know me so well.
00:18:02There's still a situation here.
00:18:05And 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.
00:18:24Well, there's not much time.
00:18:25My legal department has prepared a damage control script.
00:18:31Memorize it.
00:18:32You'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.
00:18:40Let's be honest.
00:18:41Ava is our top billing model.
00:18:43Then you, Claire.
00:18:44It never really took off.
00:18:46Despite all the opportunities I created for you.
00:18:49I 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.
00:19:11I gotta go.
00:19:12Fire away.
00:19:13Okay.
00:19:15Please tell me you're not using a burner.
00:19:17What the hell are you?
00:19:21I'm thinking too small, Ricky.
00:19:26Members of the press.
00:19:35Thank you for coming.
00:19:36In regards to the events that occurred at the True Love Fashion Show,
00:19:39I deeply regret any harm I caused Mr. Vincent Latour and his revered brand.
00:19:45I take full responsibility for my actions.
00:19:48New 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.
00:20:00What 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, New Talent as a company had no idea of any and all prior incidences.
00:20:33Incidences.
00:20:38Oh, we, we are done here.
00:20:40Wait a minute.
00:20:41Wait a minute.
00:20:41Wait, wait.
00:20:42No.
00:20:42Stop here.
00:20:43What happened?
00:20:45Wait, wait, wait.
00:20:46Mr. Maxwell?
00:20:47Mr. Maxwell?
00:20:48Wait a minute.
00:20:49Rub driver.
00:20:51Nicely done, Gavin.
00:20:53Thank you, Christian.
00:20:54The lady's had it under control.
00:20:56Well, I 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.
00:21:25Claire was held a rising star in the modeling world.
00:21:27Then, inexplicably, her startum plummeted.
00:21:30Rumors began to spread that she was temperamental, or she would show up late for shoots, or not at all.
00:21:34Seeming suspicion that drugs were involved.
00:21:37Offers dried up completely.
00:21:39They deliberately ruined her.
00:21:41It appears that way.
00:21:42But, why?
00:21:45If you want to crush someone's dream, you know, just take it away.
00:21:50You kill it.
00:21:50By that time, Claire's access to senior management was non-existent.
00:21:56She was relegated to a junior manager by the name of Zoe Bauer.
00:21:59And that's when Dilla Maxwell started dating Claire.
00:22:03He broke her down just so we could scoop her up.
00:22:05It doesn't make sense.
00:22:09Claire Duval is the total package.
00:22:11Why would a talent agency tank the career of a supermodel in the making?
00:22:15Because there was more money to be made elsewhere.
00:22:19Someone's pulling down Maxwell's strengths.
00:22:22We have to find the puppet master.
00:22:23And to the tour, stay away from the future.
00:22:54What?
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 blame.
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.
00:23:40I'll be right there.
00:23:44When she gets here, I say we put Claire in her place.
00:23:54The little princess 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 that Dylan is mine.
00:24:06True that.
00:24:07Honestly, the one true star of Muse Talent Agency is Ava Bennett.
00:24:12And it acts well.
00:24:15I hear it.
00:24:17She's going to push your buttons.
00:24:20Don't let her.
00:24:21You 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 to 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...
00:25:01Then get down on your hands and knees.
00:25:06Then 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?
00:25:21You 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.
00:25:44How 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.
00:26:00Did you get all that?
00:26:10Hey, fam.
00:26:11Reggie here.
00:26:12Welcome back to my channel.
00:26:13So, the past 40 hours have been a hooray crag.
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.
00:26:27Oh, 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.
00:26:45So, Dylan M, aren't you engaged to, uh, Claire D?
00:26:49She just got a cheat, I 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 see what happens on the battle royale of supermodels.
00:27:03I'm gonna go ahead and watch my eyes out now, cuz 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.
00:27:31Hey, it's Claire.
00:27:31Leave 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.
00:27:58Sometimes he would show.
00:28:00Most often, not at all.
00:28:01Do 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.
00:28:14Why is he trying so hard to salvage a relationship he cares nothing about?
00:28:19It's the million dollar question.
00:28:25Poor bastard.
00:28:28Do you want to keep watching?
00:28:29No.
00:28:30I'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?
00:28:57Unforgettable.
00:29:02Claire?
00:29:03Where are you, Claire?
00:29:06Claire?
00:29:09Claire?
00:29:09There 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.
00:29:18Well, 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.
00:29:29There'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.
00:29:41Honestly, tell her I'd rather die than meet another boring, entitled rich boy that checks all of her boxes.
00:29:48Don'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.
00:30:09The sole heiress to the Winthrop Empire.
00:30:13You need to stay here and do your part, young lady.
00:30:17I'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.
00:30:33They died in a helicopter crash a year later.
00:30:39Hmm, what's the vibe going to be today?
00:30:58Endless possibility.
00:31:06So many to pick from.
00:31:07With AliExpress, you're covered wherever you go.
00:31:12Alice, 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.
00:31:56Okay.
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 to 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, they're 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?
00:32:38How?
00:32:39With?
00:32:39How?
00:32:40With?
00:32:40With who?
00:32:41It'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.
00:32:59You.
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.
00:33:33Hi.
00:33:37I'm Christian Cross.
00:33:40I'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?
00:33:55Oh, a 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.
00:35:07Okay, so, we stabilized your pregnancy and corrected your acute need.
00:35:13You'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. Bennett.
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 her.
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 cannot 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 it 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 was terminated
00:38:11using 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, Christian, you were asking me to bet on an unproven model with a dubious past.
00:38:35I could tell you how brilliant she is, or how lucky you'd be to have her,
00:38:41but I'm not going to try to persuade you, because time will do that.
00:38:44What I will say is, if 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 to our cruise lines.
00:38:58Well, you know, when 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, to the future of Latour,
00:39:19we are expecting great things from Ms. Duvall at her upcoming photoshoot in Seattle.
00:39:25When I asked you to move in, I 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, what did you do, hold on.
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, I 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.
00:40:10First.
00:40:12First.
00:40:16First.
00:40:18First.
00:40:19First.
00:40:20First.
00:40:21First.
00:40:22First.
00:40:23First.
00:40:24I always wondered what it would be like.
00:40:35Come home to someone at the end of the night.
00:40:38In.
00:40:40Just you and me tonight.
00:40:44There's nowhere I'd ever be.
00:40:48Please.
00:40:48If you feel so laid.
00:40:50So let your arms round me walk and walk me tight
00:40:57And I'm loving this feeling, it feels the way
00:41:04So let your arms round me walk and walk me tight
00:41:20And I'm loving this feeling, it feels the way
00:41:26So let your arms round me walk and walk me tight
00:41:30To a place where no I can't find the stars that make me happy
00:41:37It could all just be so simple, baby
00:41:50If 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
00:42:08But it won't take the heart
00:42:12So are you ever going to tell me why 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
00:42:25The crossmen throughout history have 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
00:42:38I'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 that 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
00:42:57I turned 30
00:42:59On that day
00:43:01That was your birthday
00:43:04You didn't even celebrate
00:43:07It was a day?
00:43:08You came home with me
00:43:11Well you came home with me
00:43:26Kristin!
00:43:27My dear
00:43:39Christian, my dear, how is your evening going so far?
00:43:44Yeah, good so far. Thank you for inviting me.
00:43:46Of course.
00:43:47And your ventures. Tell 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. I'm still searching.
00:44:04Well, then you must meet my granddaughter, Claire.
00:44:09There she is.
00:44:17There 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.
00:44:34Throwing away a billion-dollar trust fund for a whimsical game of independence.
00:44:49Don't you worry. I'll bring her to heel.
00:44:52Don't bother. I have no interest in a bride who's been coerced.
00:44:55Artificial intelligence. I think it could be a game changer.
00:44:59Speaking of change, have you found anyone special?
00:45:03Not yet. I'm still searching.
00:45:06Well, then you must meet my granddaughter, Claire.
00:45:11There she is.
00:45:18There she is.

00:45:51Don't you worry. I'll bring her to heel.
00:45:53Don't bother.
00:45:55I have no interest in a bride who's been coerced.
00:45:57Hey, you're so beautiful.
00:46:10Hey, stop it.
00:46:15This is real for me.
00:46:18Promise I'll never forget that.
00:46:20I promise.
00:46:21Yes.
00:46:27My meetings at Pinnacle should end around five.
00:46:44And they're down here, I'll send a card.
00:46:45Making some of the 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?
00:46:56I mean, you're spectacular.
00:46:58Because you are spectacular.
00:47:01Okay?
00:47:17A private plane, limousine to the chute, and a hunky mogul waiting for you afterward?
00:47:22Sign me up.
00:47:23These 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.
00:47:38No 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, Mr. Bob will be in 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.
00:48:18Oh, Claire.
00:48:23This is A.F.L.'s date.
00:48:26Ah, you're so lovely, my sweet.
00:48:28Of course, you may be the one.
00:48:30No?
00:48:31So, what necklace do you wear?
00:48:33Come.
00:48:34See the play?
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 your looks and your talents.
00:49:03It is tragic.
00:49:04We never worked together before.
00:49:06Oh, bless you.
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 fiancée?
00:49:26Yeah, well, you lost that right when you slept with Ava.
00:49:29Now, 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 if you would have just returned my calls.
00:49:39Come on.
00:49:40Don't be like this to me.
00:49:41Don't be like this to me.
00:49:42Not after everything I've done for you.
00:49:45Done for me?
00:49:46You 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.
00:49:57The 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.
00:50:08No.
00:50:09We'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.
00:50:24You 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.
00:50:33Your 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.
00:50:48America!
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.
00:51:04Dylan canceled the male model.
00:51:06No one's coming.
00:51:07When Latour finds out...
00:51:10I'm ruined.
00:51:12There's no time to fix this.
00:51:14You thinking what I'm thinking?
00:51:15Hey.
00:51:23How quick can you get to the studio?
00:51:25Year one foot traffic.
00:51:27What are we projecting?
00:51:28Fifteen million.
00:51:29Concerted to play.
00:51:30And if we surpass that?
00:51:3110% going to go only.
00:51:33Straight up.
00:51:34Let's make history together.
00:51:47Excuse me.
00:51:49How quick can you get to the studio?
00:51:50Hello, Vincent.
00:51:54This is catastrophe.
00:51:56My time, it does not extend eternal.
00:51:59No.
00:52:00Where is the lover to complete the true love piece de résistance?
00:52:05Huh?
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.
00:52:14Disaster just follows this chick wherever she goes.
00:52:31Crisis event.
00:52:33The lover is here.
00:52:36And won't do what a lover he is.
00:52:41Thank you for doing this.
00:52:44Did he touch you?
00:52:46Maxwell will pay for this.
00:52:48And he touches my wife.
00:52:52Quick, quick.
00:52:54Get the lover in costume.
00:52:56Please.
00:52:59Excuse me, Miss Adler.
00:53:01Let's try not to show his face.
00:53:02Mr. Cross really values his privacy.
00:53:04I have an MBA 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.
00:53:12The moment of do or die.
00:53:16The height of love romance.
00:53:18Voila.
00:53:19There he is, Claire.
00:53:20Down on my knee.
00:53:22Ring in hand.
00:53:23Question in his eyes.
00:53:28In you, your heart says,
00:53:30We behold it.
00:53:33This is the dream come true.
00:53:35True romance.
00:53:38Nice.
00:53:39Christian cross.
00:53:54I'll be damned.
00:53:56The bond, it has matured.
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, Warton.
00:54:17Hey, hubby.
00:54:18This campaign is going to be a massive hit.
00:54:28Hey, fam.
00:54:29Reggie here.
00:54:30So, buckle up, because this week, oh boy, oh boy, we have the drama for the Battle Royale of the Supermodels.
00:54:36First 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.
00:54:45Because guess what?
00:54:46We have a stunning newcomer in 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 Anaïs Adler.
00:55:03Claire Dulac.
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, fam.
00:55:18Clarity 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, seamless 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. Vits Latour daily, trying to get the big reveal.
00:55:42Ahem.
00:55:43Dear Mr. Vits Latour.
00:55:45Here hee.
00:55:46Here 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, Mitchell.
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. Vits 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. Vits 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 Beck is.
00:56:26Because guess what, fans?
00:56:29That's right.
00:56:30George Julie has been tapped by the network to host the top model competition.
00:56:37Yes!
00:56:37Oh, my God.
00:56:39Oh, you like me.
00:56:40You really do like me.
00:56:41You really like me.
00:56:43Oh, my God.
00:56:46Yes, you do.
00:56:50Who 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.
00:57:01Looks 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.
00:57:20Okay.
00:57:23Claire, 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?
00:57:41I don't think so.
00:57:47I'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?
00:58:04Just stick to your plan to sabotage Claire.
00:58:07I'll handle mine.
00:58:08Fine.
00:58:09You keep your secrets.
00:58:10And I'll keep mine.
00:58:18We need tickets.
00:58:20It's too dangerous.
00:58:22The usual spot.
00:58:24Room 201.
00:58:25I'll be there.
00:58:26Hey, no peeking.
00:58:32Just like a little kid.
00:58:35All right, it's a surprise.
00:58:36Just a few more steps.
00:58:39Shouldn't you be swamped with work?
00:58:41Well, 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.
00:59:31You 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.
00:59:40Let'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.
01:00:04Let's not forget.
01:00:06Let's not forget.
01:00:07I own you.
01:00:09I'll admit Claire being nominated to top model does put an unexpected wrinkle in our...
01:00:17You were supposed to end this modeling nonsense, not launch her into the stratosphere.
01:00:22Your granddaughter hasn't won yet.
01:00:25And?
01:00:27If you play your part, Claire will walk down that runway and crash and burn.
01:00:36Start talking.
01:00:38Here's what we do.
01:00:41I cannot wait to knock off that old battle axe.
01:00:54Oh, fall in the shower.
01:00:55You were a mix of medication...
01:00:58All right.
01:00:59Focus, 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.
01:01:12Convince 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.
01:01:43Just hold tight, Captain.
01:01:44I'll let you not very speak with Claire.
01:01:47Morning, puppy.
01:01:53I need you to sit down.
01:01:55What's wrong, Christian?
01:01:56You're scaring me.
01:01:58The 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.
01:02:15Why 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 in power to derail
01:03:08the future of a promising young model.
01:03:12You, Claire.
01:03:13So, all the rumors that I was on drugs, incompetent, unstable, my own grandmother was behind all
01:03:22of 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, but I never thought she'd go to
01:03:36such lengths to control me.
01:03:37It's like she doesn't see me as a real person, with needs and fears and dreams.
01:03:43That's her loss, Claire.
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.
01:04:11Have 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.
01:04:35Yes, there is that.
01:04:41I 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's three others.
01:04:53Hey, sexy.
01:05:00Hey, sexy.
01:05:16Claire, one more.
01:05:17One 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...
01:05:32I 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.
01:06:15I think I'm going to be sick.
01:06:20I can't 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.
01:07:13Hey, you saucy mace.
01:07:16Kill her.
01:07:17Show me, sexy.
01:07:18Hey.
01:07:19That belly of yours is all so young.
01:07:22That's my baby.
01:07:23Come to the bar.
01:07:24Holy shit.
01:07:26No freaking way.
01:07:27Hey.
01:07:27You wouldn't believe what Ava's been up to.
01:07:49Listen.
01:07:49Not now.
01:07:52I don't want to distract Claire, but why to bombshell?
01:07:57I'm glad you can take my excitement.
01:08:01Where are you sitting?
01:08:03Behind the judges.
01:08:05First row.
01:08:06Hey.
01:08:07Why is she?
01:08:09You all right?
01:08:09Sure, hubby.
01:08:10The 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.

01:09:52A masterpiece.
01:09:53Not yet.
01:09:54We have other plans tonight, remember?
01:09:56Leave 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.
01:10:26I don't know if it's...
01:10:30No!
01:10:32Made 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.
01:10:47And but...
01:10:48Now works out.
01:10:49I'm not gonna give you these?
01:10:51I'm gonna give you this.
01:10:54We're just gonna give you this.
01:10:56Check this.
01:10:56Find me here.
01:10:58Just leave me here.
01:10:59No, I'll give you this.
01:10:59I'll give you this.
01:11:01Don't listen to me.
01:11:01I'll give you this.
01:11:02I'll give you this.
01:11:04All right.
01:11:04We're just gonna give you this.
01:11:06Just leave me here.
01:11:07Break a leg, Claire Bearer.
01:11:24Next up is Claire Duvall, whose unique rise in the industry has caught everyone off guard.
01:11:32Next up is Claire Duvall, whose meteoric rise in the industry has caught everyone off guard.
01:12:00Come on, my love, rise up and show them who you are.
01:12:22Your girl's career imploded before it even took off.
01:12:37But you're making a fool of yourself.
01:12:40The days of pretending to be a model, they're over, Claire.
01:12:44Ava is our sparkling model. And you, Claire.
01:12:49I never really took off.
01:12:51You've lost everything. And you just don't know it yet.
01:12:56Come on, my love, rise up and show them who you are.
01:13:02From 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.
01:13:16You've been trying to be a good boy.
01:13:18I know.
01:13:19I know.
01:13:21I know.
01:13:23I know.
01:13:25I know.
01:13:26I know.
01:13:27I know.
01:13:28I know.
01:14:59Oh my God. Folks, we just had a glitch in the Matrix. Something that has never happened in the 23 years of top model competition. A tie between Ava Bennett and Claire Duvall.
01:15:10What? Seriously? Clearly Matora has something going on with Claire.
01:15:23Oh, really Ava? Because last I checked, you and Judge Simon Blackwell have been getting a little too cozy and whoops.
01:15:31There's a mini blackball on the way. Yep, she's expecting his baby. His baby? Oh, that's my baby.
01:15:39Hey, easy. Relax, man. Relax. Relax.
01:15:44Get a grip, both of you. Vote, vote, vote, vote, vote, vote, vote. Let'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. Top model competition rules state that in the event of a tie, we will have an independent third party determine who has won.
01:16:03So, we are now bringing out the big guns. Christian Cross, CEO of pinnacle entertainment, you're up, sir.
01:16:10Mr. Cross, we're now bringing out the tie-breaking guns. So, 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. And that is Claire Duvall.
01:16:43But I have a conflict of interest because Claire Duvall is not just a top model contestant. She's also my wife, Claire Duvall Cross.
01:17:13Seriously? This is so unfair. Of course she gets it, and all I have is...
01:17:30She was sleeping with him while she was with me. How dare she?
01:17:33Clue in, Dylan. We need to do damage control. Grace Winthrop could pull our whole loan after this. We could lose everything.
01:17:41Detective, he's still right here.
01:17:43What?
01:17:43Miranda Maxwell, Dylan Maxwell, you'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.
01:18:45Then why hide the connection to my grandmother? Why the lies?
01:18:49Because I knew how bad it looked, especially after Maxwell tried to use you.
01:18:54How can I believe you?
01:18:56Because we're meant to be together.
01:18:59Because we're meant to be together.
01:19:01I've never seen a mullet on the commandment stage like you did a thing.
01:19:06You're a nobody.
01:19:08You're not a nobody.
01:19:10You need to keep your eyes off of 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.
01:19:23I think my luck has finally changed.
01:19:27I think my luck has finally changed.
01:19:31This is real for me.
01:19:37I promise you'll never forget that.
01:19:40I promise.
01:19:44I promise.
01:19:49Whatever it is, fate, luck, whatever you want to call it, Christian, I'm all in.
01:20:01I'm going to 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!
01:20:41No!
01:20:41Meanwhile, Ava B has quit modeling to focus on becoming a full-time mother.
01:20:47Yeah, I'm going to say that with a straight face.
01:20:49We all know what you're doing for money, don't we?
01:20:53Shut up, Katie!
01:20:56Now, 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.
01:21:18Of course, with Reggie here, so you can catch all the drama, all the tea, and all the supermodels.
01:21:24So, that's what I need.
01:21:25Bye!
