00:26I'm the only one who's in the world!
00:28You're dead! Not just fire!
00:30You're the only one who's in the world!
00:32How many collapses our careers are over?

01:25Tick Tock!
01:46End them! Crisis averted!
01:48I swear to God, you are not human!

01:52Holy shit!
01:53Pre-orders are flooding in!
01:55This will shatter every record!
02:03Vette!
02:04Are you okay?
02:05Just...
02:06Braxton Hicks, nothing too!
02:07Oh my god!
02:08Your water broke!
02:09Mom...
02:10You were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:12Multi-tasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:13Dad called.
02:14He wanted to know if we should come, but...
02:15I told him that he lost his visiting privilege distance.
02:16He didn't want to know if we should come, but...
02:18I told him that he lost his visiting privilege distance.
02:19He didn't want to know if we should come, but...
02:20I told him that he lost his visiting privilege distance.
02:21He decided that his assistance man was more comfortable than ours.
02:22That's my girl!
02:23Ha!
02:24Ha!
02:25Ha!
02:26Ha!
02:27Ha!
02:28Ha!
02:29Ha!
02:30Ha!
02:31Ha!
02:32Ha!
02:33Ha!
02:34Ha!
02:35Ha!
02:36Ha!
02:37Ha!
02:38Ha!
02:39Ha!
02:40Ha!
02:41Ha!
02:42Ha!
02:43Ha!
02:44Ha!
02:45Ha!
02:46Ha!
02:47Ha!
02:48Ha!
02:49Ha!
02:50Ha!
02:51Ha!
02:52Ha!
02:53Ha!
02:54Well the company is yours now, Holly.
02:56But there's a condition.
02:59We need to slash costs.
03:01Immediately.
03:02Layoffs.
03:03Half it without leave.
03:04Oh Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:08Well just remember, we're gonna clean up that Malayan disaster, and get immunity.
03:19In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:22No way this Victoria went or saved the company since she's not even there.
03:30Boss, the Mulan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:35You saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:36Oh Ashley.
03:37How about I make you the new creative director?
03:38Starting today.
03:39Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:40She's offering Victoria's job? I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
03:42But Victoria-
03:43Don't worry about her. I'm not useless. I'm going to sound fire.
03:44I'm not useless. I'm going to sound fire.
03:45I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
03:46But Victoria-
03:47Don't worry about her. I'm not useless. I'm going to sound fire.
03:49You know that collection I just rescued up? I hid something in the design.
03:56Your initials, and no little graces. I'll have write in the fabric.
03:58I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head.
04:03But Victoria-
04:04Don't worry about her. I'm not useless. I'm going to sound fire.
04:09You know that collection I just rescued up? I hid something in the design.
04:19Your initials and no little graces, who have been right in the fabric.
04:29And that's going to give him a long runway?
04:32Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:35Enough for your full tuition at private school.
04:38Mom, if we have to...
04:40We're going to that private school.
04:42No discussion.
04:44Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:47His job will keep us apart.
04:49I love you, Mom.
05:01Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:05After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:17Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:31What the hell?
05:35What the hell?
05:37Listen up, everyone.
05:38Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:41Effective immediately.
05:43You can't just do that.
05:45She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:47There are laws against this.
05:49Vic worked while in labor.
05:52She's a creative backbone of Maison Nouveau.
05:54Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggos are bleeding us dry.
05:59Everything okay here?
06:05Great timing.
06:07Victoria Wintour?
06:08You're fired.
06:09Clear out your desk now.
06:20You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:22I saved this company three times when your father could have made payroll.
06:26Three times.
06:30Whoa.
06:31That's ancient history.
06:33The world wants fresh blood.
06:35And me eager to save the entire long collection.
06:43What?
06:44I'm the one who...
06:47Mia, you...
06:48Feel that curve.
06:52That's her signature.
06:53That's what makes it Maison Nouveau.
07:00How could you?
07:01I taught you everything you know.
07:11I wish things were different, Vic.
07:13I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:23What happens to my team?
07:25Miranda pulled all of matters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:31Things were so bad she had to get hair, implants.
07:35Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:39These jobs are their lifelines.
07:41Health insurance.
07:42Paid maternity leave.
07:43Basic human dignity.
07:44You can't just throw them away.
07:46Actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:48No mandated paid maternity leave.
07:49No real protection.
07:50Okay?
07:51That's corporate America for you.
07:53Or we can shift the math.
07:54You sign.
07:55They stay.
07:56When the budget works out, think of it as...
07:59Taking one for the team.
08:01You sign.
08:02They stay.
08:03When the budget works out, think of it as...
08:06Taking one for the team.
08:07Miranda's still drowning in her husband's deaths.
08:09Aunt Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:10They can't lose their jobs.
08:11Come on, babe.
08:12You say you care about them.
08:13Prove it.
08:14Get out of bed.
08:15You're out of bed.
08:16You're out of bed.
08:17You're out of bed.
08:18Trust me.
08:19You're out of bed.
08:20Give me your way.
08:21They have an issue to take the jokes around.
08:22And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:24You can't lose their jobs.
08:25Come on, babe.
08:26Cause they don't care about them.
08:27Prove it.
08:28I don't know.
08:58That's my severest package after 15 years, that's what I'm worth to-
09:07Be careful. I got you.
09:23Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:32Hi. High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:48So, it's true. Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving we saw in the Loyal's Mulan collection.
09:57How do you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:06Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:12What are you getting at exactly?
10:15I'm talking about you and me.
10:19Partners. You're genius. My money.
10:24No corporate BS. No one holding back.
10:33I've found a baby to think about now.
10:35And I have an empty corner office with you and an attached nursery.
10:41Just saying.
10:46Vincent Chevalier, wow!
10:48I didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nexus, thrown into the office.
10:53Got your spider?
10:54Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing, triple her salary, corner office.
11:06You know, before the vultures at LB or Chanel swooping.
11:10Oh, so you're dumpster diving now?
11:12Rescuing a washed-up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:16It's an interesting take to have, considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:21I mean, the jacket, it's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:27The earrings, it's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:30If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:37Shit, shit, shit!
11:39What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this?
11:46Actually, those were my designs.
11:54What did you just say?
11:55The spring collection.
11:57The Cartier pieces.
11:58I designed them.
12:00Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:04Oops.
12:05Looks like you've been backing your own horse, Vincent.
12:08I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:12Let explain my signature.
12:14On the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:22So what?
12:23Sketches get past her all the time.
12:24It doesn't free the squat.
12:26Maybe she was in the middle of...
12:28What did they call it?
12:29The dress designer?
12:31And the logo?
12:33The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
12:39It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:42Mommy, explain it.
12:43Maybe shut up.
12:44It's funny.
12:45All those pieces.
12:46With the Milan collection that everyone's losing at her.
12:48They all have EW and GW's silver too.
12:49Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
12:50Her newborn is Grace Winter.
12:51It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs,
12:55Mia.
12:56Is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
12:57Well, Mia, tell them.
12:58Tell them you designed this.
12:59Tell them you saved Milan.
13:00The logo, it's, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:20You lying little bitch.
13:25Hi, thanks.
13:27You lying little bitch!
13:29Black Promotions are saving the company!
13:36Look at the logo again.
13:38It's not E-W or G-W.
13:41It's actually two M's.
13:44M-M for McMichael, my last name.
13:50See? One M flipped, one upright.
13:54It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:58It's mine.
14:00That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:03Oh my god, she's right. It does look more like two M's.
14:08You manipulated me.
14:10She really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:14You learned well, Mia.
14:17Maybe too long.
14:19You'll regret this.
14:22Come on, listen.
14:24We don't have to seek to help.
14:26Okay.
14:27Let me drive you home, okay?
14:29My furor is outside.
14:31If I got this, you shouldn't be carrying anything.
14:35Through.
14:39Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:42Just take care of my honor of holding, will you?
14:46Yeah.
14:47That's right.
14:48Get the hell out of my company.
14:50Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:54Oh, Victoria.
14:59V.I.P. invitation.
15:01Right especially, front row.
15:02I see you will find it, like lightning.
15:05Every pregnant woman fired.
15:07I didn't even find it.
15:09Lightning.
15:18Every pregnant woman fired.
15:20All of us.
15:22Just like that.
15:24No severance, no warning, nothing.
15:27But a box of insecurity, Esker.
15:30Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:38Their termination agent won't practically pay for your sign.
15:41Bonus my guardian star.
15:43Now, I'm not going to slash you again.
15:46Your signs are eerily lighted.
15:51Shut up your eyes closed.
16:00Oh my god, Mom.
16:03This is insane.
16:04I can't believe we're actually here.
16:06Victoria Winter.
16:08The nuclear dick.
16:09Your mom's basically a legend.
16:11You know that, right?
16:12Yeah.
16:13We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison de Vaux.
16:17Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:22Wait, Maison de Vaux?
16:26Well, well.
16:27The queen without her crown embraces us all her presence.
16:30Great with you to show up here.
16:32What's next?
16:33Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:37Leaving so soon.
16:38You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:42Is all the dearest going to deal with her little career update
16:44about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:50Mom, is that true?
16:54Don't worry.
16:55She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying her tuition bills.
16:59Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
17:02Still pretending she matters.
17:07My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:11If Miss Unable was putting people like you in charge of the business,
17:15then maybe deserves to crush and burn.
17:18Well, look at that.
17:19It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:21Say whatever you want about me,
17:23but leave my daughter out of it.
17:25That's got a stain, huh?
17:26Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
17:32Hey, good news.
17:33There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hard-working children.
17:37If paying bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:40That's enough.
17:42That's enough.
17:46That's enough.
17:48You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:51You never belonged in this world.
17:53Look at her.
17:55A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
17:58That dress.
18:01It's a cheap knockoff.
18:04Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week is not just pathetic.
18:07It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:14What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:17Remove that dress.
18:19We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:23Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:25Come on!
18:27Let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:30Take your hands off her now.
18:35Vincent.
18:41You're dismissed.
18:50You're alright.
18:51Well, Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
18:52The reclusive leader who never shows up anywhere?
18:54What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
18:56That knockoff?
18:57That you so eager to trash her for?
18:59It's Chevenne.
19:01Book Couture.
19:02Winter Collection.
19:04Not even released yet.
19:06Vastag?
19:07300,000.
19:08Wow!
19:09You gave her that.
19:10That's right.
19:11You did.
19:13I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:14Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:15Victoria's backed herself as sugar daddy.
19:16Mr. Billionaire is not a white knight.
19:17He's from the Hawking Trust Fund.
19:18Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:19Victoria's backed herself as sugar daddy.
19:20Mr. Billionaire is not a white knight.
19:21He's from the Hawking Trust Fund.
19:22Victoria.
19:23The young woman says the thump.
19:24You're so eager to see him.
19:25You're so eager to see him.
19:26So you get in here.
19:27Wow.
19:28You gave her that.
19:29That's right.
19:30I did.
19:31I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:33Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:35Victoria's backed herself as sugar daddy!
19:39Mr. Billionaire is not a white knight.
19:41He's from Hawking Trust Fund.
19:46Victoria's leaving her way to the top.
19:48It's just so predictably desperate.
19:50You really don't understand real talent, do you?
19:57For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier, CEO of Jeven.
20:05And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:11I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:16Your brilliance, your principles, your passion.
20:22Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:25Mom, did you know about this?
20:28I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:32But in the meantime, what I will do is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:39She won't let you down, boss.
20:41You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier. She's nothing but a has-been.
20:49The show's about to start. Your seats are waiting.
20:58Holy shit. The industry gold boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:03Talk about a power couple. They can build the entire industry.
21:08This isn't over, bitch. Wait till you see what I've prepared for.
21:22So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:25Some talents. You recognize me. Some people do.
21:39Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:44This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:47She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:51It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:56I slaved away on those designs. Day and night.
22:02And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:09That's just particularly iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:12Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:16That's enough, Holly.
22:18Everyone thinks you're a creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:23Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:28Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:32That's her real design strategy.
22:34Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:37And those kids she's so proud of? Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:41How dare you?
22:43How dare you?
22:47It's a disaster in there. There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
22:54Not now.
23:00The primary fabrics are disintegrating into the lights.
23:03The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:07We've only got 50 bets lost until showtime.
23:10Is this some kind of sick joke in the world?
23:12You can't send the show because you're incompetent?
23:14This is completely unprofessional.
23:17I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:20This is breach of contract.
23:24It's actually fixable.
23:25You can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
23:34Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:37Masonville Thorpe appears to be employed underneath new leadership.
23:40Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled, minutes before showtime.
23:44The question on everyone's mind?
23:46Is this the end for the most prestigious fashioners?
23:48This show doesn't happen?
23:49You're personally liable for the breach of fantasy.
23:50We're talking buildings, homie.
23:51Buildings.
23:52Buildings.
23:53Buildings.
23:54Buildings.
23:55Buildings.
23:56Oof.
23:57You're personally liable for the breach of fantasy.
23:58We're talking buildings, homie.
23:59Buildings.
24:00Buildings.
24:01You
24:24Now
24:26How the fiber supplier must have sent us defective materials? I can't magically make you dresses in an hour
24:34You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work. If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket
24:42That's
24:43Billionths of dollars. Then you better figure something out. Because if you don't, I'm really fired. I'll make sure you never work in fashion again
24:56You
25:02Miss winter how do you respond to accusations of her design theft is there any truth to Holly Jenkins claims about your personal life?
25:11Please respect
25:13Miss winter's privacy and for the record you'll all soon see who the real thief is
25:19We're gathering evidence as we speak
25:26I
25:32Excuse me
25:34Excuse me
25:36It's okay, I'll be right
25:44What do you want Mia?
25:49Vic, I really need your help
25:51Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled
25:56Look
25:57I know you're furious
25:59I would be too
26:00But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second
26:03What about them?
26:04Their jobs are on the line with this show
26:07If we tank, they're done
26:09Holly will fire them without a second thought
26:11Please
26:13If you care about them keeping their jobs
26:15Just don't pull this out of here
26:17Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show
26:19Yes, absolutely
26:21And they're counting on this being a hit
26:23Please
26:25Like, not for me
26:27For that
26:28It's weird
26:29I would have expected them to be here in Paris
26:31You know for such a make or break show
26:33What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:35What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:40They.. They couldn't make it
26:42Holly cut the travel budget
26:45Is that right?
26:47Victoria
26:48I know I don't deserve your help
26:52They do
26:54Fine
26:56I'll help you
26:57But I'm doing this to Miranda and Pauline
27:00Not for you
27:05Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter. A nuclear vec.
27:16I need scissors, thread and fresh lining fabric now.
27:26I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:28Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:31Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:36Do you miss work?
27:43Vincent, how did you...
27:47I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
27:55This is perfect, but Joven have made some of our competitors. Why would you help them?
28:01I'm not helping them. I'm helping you.
28:08I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:12I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone. It's yours now.
28:17I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:22Then what do you want?
28:25You.
28:27What?
28:28You're a talent. You're a vision. Come and work as Joven.
28:38I'm in. I'll work for you.
28:42Just like that?
28:43Just like that.
28:44Now, let me finish my final job for my solo bill.
28:48What?
28:49I hate it. When I'm on school. I wish I was cool. Like I never went school. I regret it. So I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get it.
29:04I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get by it. Don't let me change. I'mma be proud of my name.
29:15She's doing it in minutes! What would take us hours?
29:19Whoa. No wonder they call it a nuclear feck.
29:23It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:27The woman I replace is making me look like an amateur.
29:30Five minutes to showtime. We made it.
29:50Well? Do we pull the plug or not?
29:53We're good. Everything's back on track.
29:55See?
29:57I knew firing Victoria was the right call. You've got twice your talent.
30:02Yeah, right.
30:04This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:07You big size is not maker.
30:16To Victoria, the real hero of the night.
30:27Mom, you're insane. I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:35Couldn't have done it without you.
30:37You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
30:44Well, well, still hanging around.
30:51I thought you were too embarrassed to show your face at the after party. Fraud.
30:56Polly, why didn't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:00What are you talking about?
31:02What are you talking about?
31:03Just ask the models. Any of them.
31:07Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement. About Miranda and Pauline.
31:12Right.
31:13Cool.
31:14Two new beginnings such as Ben.
31:24Speaking of new beginnings.
31:29Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:33I want to help. With their education.
31:37What? This and that. That's too much. We barely know each other.
31:42Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
31:47I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress.
31:55The one you made from scratch.
31:57I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:04You remember that?
32:06I remember everything.
32:09I have followed your career all these years just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:17Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:19We were married.
32:21And then worse.
32:24And then you were building your career.
32:27Timing just is never right.
32:30Until now.
32:36I have been away 20 years to do this.
32:46I should probably get this.
33:01Mia?
33:02God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:16That Milan disaster you turned around? Absolute magic.
33:19And now I have an opportunity to put you on the map for good.
33:24Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:28Sean Gosling?
33:29The Sean Gosling?
33:30The very one.
33:31Three time Oscar winner.
33:32People's sexy is not alive.
33:33And if you play our cards right.
33:34The next face in the maze only goes anywhere.
33:35They're taking pitches now.
33:36If he picks yours.
33:37This changes everything.
33:38For you.
33:39For the brand.
33:40Where it is.
33:41Where it is.
33:42She'll advance in the money too.
33:43You lamb this.
33:44Vincent and us.
33:45Where Victoria are done.
33:46Seal the deal.
33:47I'll bump your pay by 20%.
33:48I've got this Holly.
33:49You won't regret it.
33:50You won't regret it.
33:59Seal the deal? I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:04I've got this, Holly. You won't regret it.
34:13God, what am I going to do? I can't design menswear.
34:17I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:20Lorraine and Felina are going too. I'm completely on my own.
34:25If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:32maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over it.
34:55Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.
35:00You mentioned Miranda and Pauline. Cut to the chase.
35:07We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tax. Miranda and Pauline are also on the table.
35:11Miranda's excellent menswear. She can handle this without me.
35:14Please, wait. There's more to it.
35:16After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the Fabric disaster.
35:20Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:23I've been fighting for them.
35:25Are you serious?
35:26Pauline's due any day now.
35:28Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot.
35:31If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them off.
35:34Have you worked with Sean before?
35:36No, but I've heard you have.
35:39Ages ago, I did a jacket for him for the Met Gala.
35:43Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept right before I left me on the ball.
35:48Really? What concept?
35:54Well...
35:55Perfect. She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:12I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:17Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:20I do.
36:22Actually, I took him with me when I left me on the ball.
36:26Wait.
36:28Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:31How exactly is she part of this project?
36:33Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have,
36:37Holly's letting her work from home.
36:39Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:42Of course, Vic.
36:44Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:48Who is my dad?
36:52Take all the time you need.
36:54Mia.
36:56Don't make me regret trusting you.
36:58Again.
37:00Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:06Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:10The Sean Gossin one with the black sides and lapels?
37:11That's the one.
37:12Can you check my home office?
37:13It should be in the portfolio marked mens formal 2025.
37:15Got it.
37:16Grace is snapping for the perfect timing.
37:17Thanks, Vic.
37:18I just need to double check something about that.
37:19Shoulder.
37:20Mom, are you okay?
37:27How am I doing?
37:31Shoulder.
37:32Mom, are you okay?
37:35Sorry.
37:36I've been the problem.
37:37I was trying to get to the bathroom.
37:38Chet.
37:39I told you I was still in my house.
37:40I don't know.
37:41You know what that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:43The Shawn Gossin one with the black sides and lapels?
37:44That's the one.
37:45Can you check my home office?
37:46It should be in the portfolio marked mens formal 2025.
37:48You okay?
37:53Miranda?
37:55Vic?
38:00Mom! Mom! What's going on?
38:03Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:07Miranda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:11Bill, don't wait in this house.
38:13You met my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
38:19Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gaussian project.
38:24What? Isn't that the story she's spinning now?
38:29After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:34Your severance, no copper, nothing. Just gone.
38:38That's completely illegal.
38:39Bingo! Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
38:45All at once. What are the odds, right?
38:49And Polly, marking night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:54Her sister, Becca, bills keep piling up.
38:56And Mia knew about all this.
39:04Mia, front row seat when Hal made an announcement. Didn't blink.
39:11To be saved by her and her shiny new creative director title.
39:16She's been using you and Polly to manipulate me.
39:20Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:22What?
39:24That bitch!
39:27This ends now.
39:31Damn it!
39:36Miss Encycl, this is right from Milan. We need approval by you.
39:45Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:47What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
40:01Victoria never treats us.
40:05I heard that. You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:09Then where is she now? Gone.
40:11Now I'm in charge, and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:16You want me to shoot the keys?
40:20What the hell is going on here?
40:25Just a great disagreement. Everything is unusual.
40:29The Gazi page, tell me it was something presentable.
40:32Of course, I'm just finalizing the city.
40:39Show me.
40:41It's not quite ready.
40:42Now.
40:48This is garbage.
40:50Absolute garbage!
40:52I just need a little more time.
40:54We don't have more time. This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
40:56If Shufin gets this deal instead of us.
41:03What's that?
41:09It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:13I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil,
41:17get me a wedding design with tomorrow morning,
41:20or pack up your desk by lunch!
41:21I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:46I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:52Right on cue.
41:57Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:01Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:04The absolute nerve of this woman!
42:09She'll get her sketch.
42:11And that's when we spring the trial.
42:21You're early.
42:25Vic, I really need that sketch.
42:36I said I'd help, not hand over my design.
42:39Polly's all over me about this.
42:41If I don't have something tonight,
42:43Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:44Still lying, yeah.
42:46You'll never learn.
42:48Guess it's payback time.
42:50So, do you want my help or not?
42:54I can walk you through it.
42:55Your design could be just as good.
42:57She's such a snake!
42:59Vic, my stomach is killing me!
43:03Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:06Fine.
43:08Don't touch anything.
43:09Don't touch anything.
43:10He rests on the side,
43:11Don't touch anything.
43:13Why do you feel like he's under control?
43:15Uh huh.
43:17I can't stop that, what's up?
43:18L hurry?
43:20I can't stop it, Kyle.
43:22I can't stop it.
43:24This is the first time I get it.
43:25I can't stop it.
43:27You are arrested.
43:28You are arrested.
43:30This is the first time I get it.
43:32I'm sorry.
43:34I survived all the fails.
43:36No, you are the last time I get it.
43:37You just let her take your work?
43:52She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
43:58You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
44:01Go after the same clients.
44:03Show them what real design looks like.
44:06We're not out yet.
44:20I heard there's a revolution rope.
44:26I figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:31You're welcome, Mom.
44:36I want you and your team as your men.
44:41Full creative control.
44:44On Miranda, your husband's debt, handled.
44:48And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:52Mr. Chevalier, I...
44:54I'm Pauline.
44:56Your sister is in good hands.
44:58The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:00She's already prepping for her neck surgery.
45:02Mr. Chevalier!
45:04Thank you!
45:06Don't thank me.
45:08Thank Victoria.
45:10I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:14Vincent, I...
45:16I don't even know what to say.
45:18It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:22Bye.
45:25Hello, everybody.
45:26Bye.
45:27I'm just trying to write you back.
45:28Bye.
45:29Bye.
45:30Bye.
45:32Bye.
45:34Bye.
45:44Bye.
45:47Bye.
46:18And you're still here.
46:31Final tweaks.
46:32The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:37You've got Grace to sleep.
46:42Yeah.
46:44And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:49Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
46:57Remember, it's my right after the history.
47:03Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:06We don't follow trends, we create them.
47:09Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gossling's Metcalfe moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:23I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:26What is that bitch doing here?
47:38Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:42My company's thriving because of your generosity.
47:47I didn't expect to see you here.
47:50I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
47:56I multitask.
47:58Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:01You know, Holly, your fresh-blood strategy's working wonders.
48:07The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:10And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:15Pregnant woman in Tokyo, three excellent employees and I'm the CEO.
48:20What's next?
48:20The base sale?
48:22Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:24You're about to see what real T-Mart looks like.
48:27And what real loyalty looks like.
48:42Sean, glad you could make it.
48:44We have something very special to show you.
48:49Vic.
48:50I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl.
48:56You never know.
48:57Congratulations.
48:58Thank you, Sean.
48:59It's good to see you.
49:01Let's begin the pitches.
49:05You ready to lose?
49:06You're out of your league.
49:08You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:18First up, me and McMichael.
49:19Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:41Beautiful work.
49:52Both things.
49:57We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:03After careful consideration,
50:06we're rewarding project two.
50:07Mr. Golfing has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:36Who designed this tuxedo?
50:37Did you even read the brief?
50:41I mean...
50:42You must have read the brief. It's not complicated.
50:45It says no synthetic blends.
50:49I mean...
50:50There must be some kind of mistake.
50:51Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
50:53A mistake?
50:55I could have ended up in the emergency room.
50:58Victoria...
50:59Please...
51:00Tell these amateurs bipolarists.
51:06I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:14I'd never risk Mr. Galsing's help for a deadline.
51:17And that's why Victoria is the best.
51:19Which actually pays attention.
51:21After reviewing all the entries,
51:23the committee has reached a decision.
51:25The commission goes to
51:27Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:32Mr. Galsing was just a slip-up.
51:34Mia's design was the front runner all along.
51:37That's why they picked her first.
51:43Maybe everyone should see this.
51:50Wait, Mia.
51:51Did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:58Not so near low.
51:59Even for you.
52:00Nathan Laveau will be hearing from my ladders.
52:08And so you know,
52:09I will be supporting Victoria's case for this life theft.
52:14If all of those reputation is toast...
52:18We're suspending all collaborations.
52:21Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:32You're blacklisted.
52:39Victoria, please.
52:40Please.
52:49Victoria, please.
52:52I'll do anything.
52:53Please just help me save the company,
52:54the brand you built for 15 years.
52:58You made your choices, Holly.
53:00Now you live with them.
53:04Why didn't you go too far?
53:11Sean Galsing's look tonight is a game changer
53:13crafted by the trailblazing team of Jo Men.
53:16Social media is already calling it
53:18The Winter Revolution.
53:20To the best comeback in fashion history
53:30and to the women who made it happen.
53:32And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:39Mom, you might want to see this.
53:42Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:52Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:57Happy birthday to you!
54:03Guys, look!
54:06Maison Niveau on the brink?
54:08Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:11Ouch!
54:12I guess Karma has a sense of humor.
54:16It's strange, isn't it?
54:21I gave them everything.
54:22Late nights, weekends, all the best years
54:26and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:30Now it's all crashing down.
54:31I thought that felt vindicated.
54:34Honestly, it's a weird mix.
54:36Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
54:42Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
54:45Look at this!
54:48Jo Men pushes for paid leave and parental support
54:51across all industries.
54:54Victoria, this is you!
54:55You did this!
54:57Here's to a future
54:59where women don't have to choose
55:01between our families and their careers.
55:03Not just for us,
55:05but for every woman who comes after.
55:08Careful, Vincent.
55:09You must find out the best part.
55:17Bye.
55:18Victoria Winter.
55:28Will you marry me?
55:33Yes!
55:34A thousand times yes!
55:36Woohoo!
55:40Take my heart, lip over your hands
55:44I've been spending all my days
55:48just trying to finish the way
55:50Give me love and listen to me.
55:52Give me love and listen to me.
55:56Over and ever!
55:57Ha ha ha ha ha.
55:58Okay.
55:59Bye.
56:00Bye.
56:01Bye.
56:02Bye.
56:03Bye.
56:04Bye.
56:05Bye.
56:06Bye.
56:07Bye.
56:08Bye.
56:09Bye.
56:10Bye.
56:11Bye.
56:12Bye.
56:13Bye.
56:14Bye.
56:14I thought you'd wanna see me leave this.
56:18I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:20When word got out you left clients bailed.
56:25The word freed, numbers tanked,
56:28I couldn't stop it.
56:31You stood base on the vote into this storm Holly!
56:37I know...
56:39I know.
56:41My father...
56:43The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
56:48I destroyed everything.
56:51My thoughts slashed in costs and saved us, but instead I gutted the company.
56:57I didn't mean to pretend like this.
57:00I'm exonable though I wasn't dead. I bought it. Last week.
57:06The brand, the archives, even the debt. It's part of Javan now.
57:13Why would you do that?
57:15To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:22You and Victoria to help you do better than I did.
57:28I'll do it differently.
57:31Goodbye, Holly.
57:43Miss Winter, I just, I want to thank you.
