00:00:00I can't find a delivery anywhere. The entire Anya Winter-Spring collection is missing hours before the Paris runway show.

00:00:10I can get the courier on the phone. This is a nightmare!

00:00:13Bad news. The delivery truck lost control.

00:00:17Thirty couture gouts. Destroyed. We're gonna have to cancel the show.

00:00:21No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is Anya's biggest collection ever, okay?

00:00:26She worked on it for years and if she comes back and we have nothing to show, we're all dead!

00:00:32What other designer besides Anya can make an entire couture collection in just hours?

00:00:38Don't worry guys. I can handle it.

00:00:41Didn't she graduate college like yesterday?

00:00:44She definitely looks like she just pulled an all-nighter in a library.

00:00:47There's no way some intern who grabs coffee and schedules Anya's lunches can design a whole couture collection overnight.

00:00:52Guys, there's no time to argue. The show is in five hours! What are we gonna do?

00:00:57Give me that.

00:01:05And this.

00:01:09What is she doing?

00:01:11She's not even using a pattern.

00:01:16I've never seen someone beat so quickly.

00:01:19Invisible stitching. It's immaculate.

00:01:23There you have it. A gown fit for the Anya winter spring couture collection.

00:01:32This is impossible.

00:01:34I thought you were just some delusional intern, but this dress...

00:01:39Most designers could only dream of making something so stunning.

00:01:43This is gonna launch a million dupes, but none of them are gonna come close to the real thing.

00:01:47I heard Anya recently hired a fashion school prodigy who designed the iconic closing look in the fall collection.

00:01:54Is that you?

00:01:55No! It still isn't right!

00:02:07Um...

00:02:08Miss Winter, I'm here to...

00:02:10I'm here for the fall internship.

00:02:12It's Anya.

00:02:14Why would I have time to interview some useless errand-running baby when the fall couture show is in two days and I haven't finished my final look?

00:02:22May I?

00:02:23Sure.

00:02:30So sorry that I ripped the fabric and destroyed the flowers.

00:02:33Sacrifices do need to be made in the interest of good design.

00:02:37Not everybody knows that.

00:02:40An entire team of couture legends and nobody could come up with something this inspired.

00:02:46Forget about the internship.

00:02:48You are gonna be my head designer.

00:02:52There's no time to explain.

00:02:54We need 29 more gowns to make before the show.

00:02:56It's three in the morning.

00:02:57Where are we gonna find fabric for 29 dresses?

00:03:00Take those crystals off the chandelier.

00:03:02And someone cut 20 yards of silk velvet from the curtains.

00:03:05And rip the fringe of the carpet.

00:03:07And the leather from the couch cushions.

00:03:09And I need flowers.

00:03:10Stat!

00:03:14But we're gonna destroy this place!

00:03:15Sacrifices must be made in the interest of good design.

00:03:19Anya will understand.

00:03:28Holy cow.

00:03:30This is the most beautiful collection I have ever seen.

00:03:33You're a visionary.

00:03:34Now let's kill this fashion show.

00:03:37I'm speechless.

00:03:51I've never seen anything like this.

00:03:53This is a stunning new direction for Anya.

00:03:56Dior who?

00:03:57Anya Winters is number one in the couture game now.

00:03:59I don't know.

00:04:09You all head back to the studio.

00:04:11I'll grab some champagne to celebrate.

00:04:13Oh my god!

00:04:15I can't believe Danny completed this entire collection overnight.

00:04:18Where'd she even come from?

00:04:20No clue, but her mind is fucking insane.

00:04:22What the hell is going on here?

00:04:29This is disgusting!

00:04:31Is this a design studio or the girls bathroom of a club?

00:04:35We make groundbreaking pieces with our hands, not our big fat mouths.

00:04:39Jordan, who is this woman?

00:04:41Is she working with you on the PR team?

00:04:43PR?

00:04:44This woman is the daughter of Anya Winter.

00:04:46Vanessa got her degree from Central Saint Martins in London and is currently an editor for Vogue.

00:04:54And she'll be acting as CEO while Anya recovers from a minor heart attack.

00:05:00Is this really the design team that created the top couture collection in all of Paris Fashion Week?

00:05:05Because all I'm seeing is a bunch of incompetent yappers.

00:05:08If this is about the original collection...

00:05:10I didn't ask you to speak.

00:05:13You're fired.

00:05:14Pack up your bags and go back to bumfuck Ohio.

00:05:21Anya Winter is now the top couture collection in the entire world.

00:05:25Time to separate the fashion icons from the frogs.

00:05:29You think my mother is a hard ass?

00:05:31Just you wait.

00:05:32I expect only the most original, exciting sketches, lightning-fast designs, and perfect technicality.

00:05:40And no unnecessary distractions.

00:05:42Who does she think she is? Miranda Priestly?

00:05:45Oh my god.

00:05:51What is this?

00:05:53Stitching is disgusting and the fabric is worn.

00:05:55No!

00:05:59That was the first thing my mom and I saw together!

00:06:05Well, you should have done a better job reinforcing your steam.

00:06:09Jordan, be a doll and go get her a souvenir Eiffel Tower keychain as a thank you for her hard work.

00:06:15Oh yeah, and by the way, you're fired!

00:06:21Okay! Now please, can somebody show me something? A collection!

00:06:28Congratulations!

00:06:30Who are you?

00:06:31You. You. You're the one who destroyed my mother's studio. You're fired.

00:06:40Wait, you're firing me?

00:06:43Danny Maxwell.

00:06:45Jordan, what does this lumpy little girl do here?

00:06:49Danny Maxwell is actually one of our top interns.

00:06:51She's an intern?

00:06:52Mmm.

00:06:54So what? You decided that you could take advantage of my mother's showroom to throw a rager the night before the biggest couture show in the history of this house?

00:07:04That's not what we-

00:07:05I would say we could take out the damages from your salary, but you're probably not getting paid.

00:07:10Actually, she's our highest paid employee. She's making over $500,000 a year.

00:07:15Jordan! That's-that's confidential.

00:07:18So you're scamming my mother?

00:07:21You know, she might be getting old, but she's not an idiot.

00:07:24And what? This is how you spend the money?

00:07:27No, no. Look, the team is up all night working. Our hands are cramping. We're tired, but we saved the spring show.

00:07:35Don't we deserve to celebrate?

00:07:38Celebrate.

00:07:40By destroying a studio? Lying? Talking back to your superiors? Drinking on the job? No wonder my mother had a heart attack.

00:07:51Our PR team is supposed to be able to handle these types of liabilities.

00:07:56Unless, of course, you're just as useless as she is.

00:07:59Or do you actually care about this brand's legacy?

00:08:02Jordan and I have been dating for two years.

00:08:05He knows how hard I work, but there's no way he's gonna throw me under the bus.

00:08:10Danny's my girlfriend. If I take her side, I'll be committing career suicide.

00:08:15You're right. Danny's behavior is unacceptable in the house of Anya Winter.

00:08:20Jordan, seriously? What are you still doing here, intern? Pack up your shit and get out of here.

00:08:28If that's how it's gonna be.

00:08:29This isn't Danny's fault. She's the one who saved-

00:08:31Oh! Do you wanna go with her?

00:08:35If anyone else here helps Danny destroy this studio, please feel free to speak up now.

00:08:41It's okay, guys. Anya Winter is the top couture house in the world now.

00:08:45And you've all earned your spots.

00:08:48It was my fault.

00:08:52I'm leaving.

00:08:56How could you?

00:09:01Be back.

00:09:03Dispose of that piece of shit.

00:09:05Baby!

00:09:09I'm so sorry.

00:09:11We've been together for two years. You couldn't even defend me?

00:09:14She would've fired me on the spot.

00:09:16Look, we both know that I don't have a degree.

00:09:21And it's a miracle that you got me this job.

00:09:25And if I lose it, then...

00:09:26Then who's gonna pay for all the expensive champagne that we're gonna have at our anniversary dinner tonight?

00:09:34Well, you better spring for caviar, too.

00:09:38You owe me...

00:09:40Big time, Jordan.

00:09:42I promise.

00:09:43I'm gonna make it up to you.

00:09:45Let's meet tonight at 8.

00:09:47Okay?

00:09:49Let's have a magical last night in Paris.

00:09:51I'll see you then.

00:09:57Hmm.

00:09:59Your frumpy little girlfriend is a recipe for bad press.

00:10:02So are those other big mouth bitches.

00:10:05Not a good look for the PR manager.

00:10:08Thanks not much.

00:10:10She better not be.

00:10:12Hmm.

00:10:14You're hot, you know.

00:10:16My mother wants to start a menswear line.

00:10:18You could be the PR director.

00:10:21What do you prefer?

00:10:23An unemployed fashion flop?

00:10:24Or a rich, powerful boss?

00:10:30Say it.

00:10:32Mommy.

00:10:33What else?

00:10:35What else?

00:10:37Does baby need a change?

00:10:39Baby needs a change.

00:10:41Yeah, he does.

00:10:43Stinky.

00:10:45Hi, Smother.

00:10:47Mm-hmm.

00:10:48Stupid people.

00:10:52They want to keep me here for two more weeks.

00:10:59I need you to run things a little while longer.

00:11:02I have stylists breathing down my neck after that marvel of a couture show.

00:11:07I mean, I don't know how Maxwell pulled it off.

00:11:09Thank God we have her on the team.

00:11:12I know how you can be, Vanessa.

00:11:15You better treat her right.

00:11:19Maxwell?

00:11:21Oh, God.

00:11:23Is that the frumpy intern I just fired?

00:11:25Hello? I'm speaking to you.

00:11:27Yes, Mother. One second.

00:11:28Is there any other Maxwell on the design team?

00:11:32I'm going to stop this at some point.

00:11:38She single-handedly saved my last two shows. A creative genius!

00:11:43I mean, I snatched her up right out of college to make sure those other couture houses couldn't get their hands on her.

00:11:49Without her...

00:11:53This...

00:11:55This whole house will crumble.

00:12:00Don't worry, Mother. I'll treat her like a queen.

00:12:03You better.

00:12:05And there's another Maxwell...

00:12:07What is her name?

00:12:09Anyway, she is a fucking disaster.

00:12:12A brain-dead Nepo baby intern who never shows up.

00:12:15And when she does, she's useless.

00:12:18Do me a favor.

00:12:20Fire her?

00:12:22Thank God.

00:12:23Of course, that tasteless tornado I fired was just a pointless intern.

00:12:27Don't worry, Mother. I already handled it.

00:12:33I'll come check on things the second they discharge me from this hellhole.

00:12:39Rest up, and I'll take care of everything.

00:12:44I knew that girlfriend of yours was a loser!

00:12:46What the hell?

00:12:48Where were we?

00:12:54What the hell do you want?

00:12:57The studio phone's been ringing off the hook.

00:12:59Well, who is it?

00:13:01It's Solea's team.

00:13:03Solea? As in the most famous actress in the world?

00:13:05She needs a dress for the Met Gala.

00:13:07She wants to see sketches for five looks inspired by the new collection.

00:13:12In one hour.

00:13:14Well, let's hope Maxwell can pull this off.

00:13:18Where is Brynn Maxwell?

00:13:22Jordan, get Brynn on the phone and tell her nicely to get her ass here now.

00:13:28What happened? I thought everyone would hate me for causing the crash that destroyed the whole collection.

00:13:42But, guess it got bigger problems.

00:13:44Danny, the grumpy dumbass.

00:13:49She left her old sketch portfolio.

00:13:51Oh my gosh, these are iconic!

00:13:54No wonder Anya was obsessed with her.

00:13:57I rolled up hungover five hours late after almost ruining the Paris fashion show.

00:14:04I'm definitely getting fired.

00:14:07Where are you?

00:14:08We need five sketches to send to Solea's team for her Met Gala look ASAP!

00:14:13Miss Winter said if you pull this off, you'll be on fast track to becoming creative director.

00:14:18Be right there.

00:14:22Why would they ask me, a brand new intern, to dress the most famous woman in the world?

00:14:27Whatever.

00:14:29I'll use Danny's sketches and no one will know.

00:14:31Oh my gosh, I'm gonna be a star.

00:14:35Well, Brynn's handling it.

00:14:38Nice work.

00:14:40Man, dressed in Solea, that's like, so sick.

00:14:43I know.

00:14:45This partnership will take this brand to a whole new level.

00:14:49And as acting CEO of this fashion house, I'll be invited to the best parties with the most rich and famous people.

00:14:56And you can be my D.

00:14:58And you can't go with me.

00:14:59Unless, of course, you want to go with Danny.

00:15:06Where is Jordan? He's 20 when it's late.

00:15:09No, I don't want her.

00:15:11I was gonna break up with her tonight anyway.

00:15:14I want you.

00:15:16Duh.

00:15:17Mmm.

00:15:18Good choice.

00:15:22Guess I'll drag him here myself.

00:15:24God, you're so powerful, so sexy.

00:15:28It's her anniversary and you're fucking the woman who fired me?

00:15:40She is a fashion superstar, okay? And you're just...

00:15:47An unemployed loser.

00:15:49You spineless dick.

00:15:51You psycho bitch, are you out of your fucking mind?

00:15:54That's it, you cheating piece of...

00:15:56Danny, Danny, you are embarrassing yourself.

00:15:59I'm the embarrassment?

00:16:01Three hours ago, you were begging for my forgiveness.

00:16:04And now you're shoving your tongue down your new boss's throat?

00:16:08Know your place, you tacky, talentless sloth.

00:16:11Face it, Danny.

00:16:14You're a fool.

00:16:16And you can't get mad at me for...

00:16:18Upgrading.

00:16:22I love to, Jordan.

00:16:24And the only reason you're here is because of...

00:16:27Because I told Anya to make you PR manager.

00:16:30Are you kidding me?

00:16:32More ridiculous lies.

00:16:34You? You're a deadbeat intern.

00:16:36As if my mother would have anything to do with you.

00:16:40We...

00:16:42Are...

00:16:44Over...

00:16:45Danny.

00:16:49I'm calling security.

00:16:51Why don't you call your mother instead?

00:16:53The founder of this house.

00:16:55She'll tell you that you're making a huge mistake.

00:16:58You know, enough with the bullshit, Danny.

00:17:00It's cringe.

00:17:01Is this how you got your job here?

00:17:03By spewing insane lies?

00:17:05Hi, security.

00:17:06There's a delusional ex-employee who's refusing to leave my studio.

00:17:12Aw, Danny.

00:17:14Don't be sad.

00:17:15Look, I get it.

00:17:17I'm powerful.

00:17:18Smart.

00:17:20Experienced.

00:17:22And you?

00:17:24Oh, you're jobless, talentless, and irrelevant.

00:17:28Look, if I were you, I would go on home and drown your sorrows in a bottle of cheap champagne.

00:17:33Unless, of course, you'd rather spend your last night in Paris in a jail cell.

00:17:37Fine.

00:17:39I'm done here anyway.

00:17:44And where do you think you're going, Danny?

00:17:47Guards!

00:17:48She's over here.

00:17:49Who the hell are you?

00:17:53I'm the creative mastermind behind the new Spring Couture collection.

00:17:57Brynn Maxwell.

00:17:59Oh.

00:18:01Wow.

00:18:02Well, I can see why my mother sung your praises.

00:18:05Oh.

00:18:06Is that an archival saline bag?

00:18:09Well, you obviously have impeccable taste.

00:18:12It's no wonder you created such a groundbreaking collection.

00:18:14These dumbasses don't even know that I'm totally jacking Danny's glory.

00:18:18Who cares?

00:18:19As long as Anya's daughter thinks I'm a genius,

00:18:22I'll get promoted to creative director without lifting a finger.

00:18:25Vanessa.

00:18:27I know who's responsible for destroying Anya's first Spring collection.

00:18:31She's the one that made the routing error that caused a truck to crash.

00:18:36She's obviously trying to sabotage the brand.

00:18:38What?

00:18:39Danny's done it again.

00:18:41You know that one design school prodigy you've had your eye on?

00:18:43Danny Maxwell?

00:18:45She was just fired from Anya Winter's fashion house.

00:18:47The show's a hit. How is that possible?

00:18:48Apparently, Anya's daughter, Vanessa, forced her out.

00:18:50Of course.

00:18:52I would love to see the look on Anya Winter's face when she discovers her big-headed bimbo of a daughter fired her star designer.

00:18:55Call Danny up. Let's get her here.

00:18:56But Anya Winter's is the number one fashion house in the world.

00:18:58We're not even ranked top 10.

00:18:59Dior and Chanel are probably banging down Danny's door already.

00:19:01You really think she would work for us?

00:19:02I'll do anything to get Danny on this team.

00:19:03Rumor has it that Celaya's looking for a new designer for her mother's house.

00:19:04The show's a hit. How is that possible?

00:19:05Apparently, Anya's daughter, Vanessa, forced her out.

00:19:06Of course.

00:19:07I would love to see the look on Anya Winter's face when she discovers her big-headed bimbo of a daughter fired her star designer.

00:19:10Call Danny up. Let's get her here.

00:19:11But Anya Winter's is the number one fashion house in the world.

00:19:13We're not even ranked top 10.

00:19:14Dior and Chanel are probably banging down Danny's door already.

00:19:16You really think she would work for us?

00:19:19I'll do anything to get Danny on this team.

00:19:21Rumor has it that Celaya's looking for a new designer for her Met Gala look.

00:19:25And if we can dress the most famous woman on the planet on the biggest night in fashion,

00:19:30we'll be the new brand on top.

00:19:32Get the jet ready. I'm going to Paris.

00:19:36And I'm not leaving without Danny Maxwell.

00:19:39Sabotage? Are you kidding me?

00:19:44You can take the fall from my stupid mistake, Danny.

00:19:47Who will believe you over me?

00:19:49You were out partying all night when you should have been confirming the route with the courier.

00:19:53And you destroyed my mother's studio on your drunken bender.

00:19:56You all see me as some incompetent intern just because I'm not wearing the latest off-the-runway clothes.

00:20:01Maybe daddy's black card can buy you Celine, but can it buy you talent, too?

00:20:05You think I caused that disaster? You think she is your savior?

00:20:11Well, then best of luck when Anya comes back and sees what a mess you've made.

00:20:15This is your mess, Danny Maxwell.

00:20:18I literally cannot stand another second of your desperate BS.

00:20:22Don't touch me.

00:20:24Jordan, don't let them do this.

00:20:26We both know you're not capable of handling the outcome.

00:20:28First you threaten Brynn, and then you threaten me.

00:20:32You know, you shouldn't be such a bitter bitch, Danny.

00:20:35You know, jealousy looks hideous on you.

00:20:38So why don't you go ahead and pick up your mistakes and get the fuck out before you get locked up.

00:20:45What can they even arrest me for?

00:20:47Let's see, vandalism, insubordination in that sweater is definitely a crime against fashion.

00:20:53Don't you know that I can end your entire fashion career with one phone call to my mother?

00:20:58Then go ahead. Do it.

00:21:03If Vanessa calls Anya, she'll find out that Danny's the real star designer.

00:21:08Vanessa, your mom's in recovery.

00:21:11Shouldn't you go to the fashion council first instead?

00:21:14To make sure another fashion house isn't infected with Danny's terrible taste?

00:21:18Brynn's right. You should go right to the source.

00:21:20Do not let her get away with this.

00:21:23I have all my mother's industry contacts at my fingertips.

00:21:27I'm texting the fashion council now.

00:21:29Danny Maxwell is blacklisted from Anya Winter.

00:21:33Other designers, beware of this dangerous scammer.

00:21:38No other fashion house will want, you know.

00:21:40Good luck getting a part-time job at Forever 21.

00:21:43Guess that's that then.

00:21:45But before I go, I have one question for you, Vanessa.

00:21:50Does Anya, the CEO and creator of this fashion house, know that you fired me?

00:21:55What kind of idiot do you think I am, Danny?

00:21:58My mother practically begged me to fire your incompetent ass.

00:22:01You thought you could roll up here in your bargain bin sweater and call yourself a fashion icon?

00:22:06Your career is so hopeful.

00:22:10Hey, uh, security, can you take her away and throw her to something?

00:22:14Jail, cell, police, whatever.

00:22:16Get your hands off of her.

00:22:21That is my new creative director.

00:22:25Danny Maxwell will join Claude St. John's fashion house.

00:22:29Claude St. John of St. John Couture?

00:22:32You came all the way from New York for me?

00:22:34Of course.

00:22:36I flew straight here.

00:22:39Nice to see you again, Danny.

00:22:41I haven't seen you since I interned at Valentino my freshman year.

00:22:45Wait, you went to Valentino with him?

00:22:50How'd you get that job, Danny?

00:22:52You scam your way into that one too?

00:22:55God, Danny.

00:22:56We went out and I had no idea that you were such a grifter.

00:23:00I feel so, so used.

00:23:04So this is how Anya Winter treats their most talented designers.

00:23:08You know, I can't say I'm surprised with someone like you working here.

00:23:10Claude, I...

00:23:11That is Mr. St. John to you.

00:23:13And actually, this matter concerns those with actual design talent.

00:23:17Yeah, what are you, a mid-level PR pawn?

00:23:19You should probably know when to shut the hell up.

00:23:22Mr. St. John, Danny here has done irreparable damage and...

00:23:26Sorry, who the hell are you?

00:23:27Obviously I.

00:23:28I'm right.

00:23:29I don't have time for your rambling.

00:23:30Enough!

00:23:31This idiot destroyed my mother's collection,

00:23:34wrecked her entire Paris fashion studio,

00:23:37ruined the entire couture show,

00:23:39almost lost us millions.

00:23:40And why are we still talking about her?

00:23:42Did you not ask your mother who Danny was before you fired her?

00:23:48What kind of idiot do you think I am?

00:23:52My mother runs this fashion house with an iron fist.

00:23:55Of course I consulted her and you know what she said?

00:23:58She said that this idiot Danny is a Nepo baby intern who scammed her way into the job.

00:24:04Brain dead.

00:24:06Anya actually said this.

00:24:07And a useless disaster.

00:24:09She quite literally said to me,

00:24:11do me a favor and fire this bitch.

00:24:14Anya practically begged me to work for her.

00:24:17She wouldn't walk back on a decision like that.

00:24:19Okay, we all know Anya, okay?

00:24:21And she wouldn't beg anyone for anything.

00:24:24Especially to work with a deadweight intern.

00:24:27Then why are you still here?

00:24:29What, you little...

00:24:30Oh, don't even try it.

00:24:32Danny,

00:24:34will you come with me and be my new creative director of St. John Couture?

00:24:36God, I don't know.

00:24:38Nay, whatever you are making, I will double it.

00:24:40Okay, her salary is 500k.

00:24:43She's literally robbing us blinds.

00:24:45A millionaire is that?

00:24:50Please, a million dollar salary?

00:24:52Your fashion house doesn't even rank in the top 10.

00:24:55Are you clinically insane?

00:24:57You're an even bigger bullshitter than Danny.

00:25:00A million dollars for a talentless intern.

00:25:03Hm.

00:25:05Way to dig your own grave.

00:25:07I thought I told you to shut up.

00:25:10Claude, I really appreciate what you're trying to do.

00:25:12Seriously, but...

00:25:14It's not about the money.

00:25:16Danny.

00:25:18If you join my fashion house, the title of creative director will be yours.

00:25:22Creative control over the next season's couture collection will be yours.

00:25:24My designers, my studio, my full trust.

00:25:30And hell, if you want me, I'm even yours too.

00:25:34Oh, Claude.

00:25:36Okay, look, I get it.

00:25:38You hustled from the bottom to build your own fashion brand, and I respect you for that.

00:25:42So let me remind you that Danny is a lazy scam artist.

00:25:47Even my mother says hiring her is a literal death wish.

00:25:51In that case...

00:25:57Okay.

00:25:59What is all this shit?

00:26:01This shit is everything that your mother gifted me.

00:26:03Her one and only key to her personal studio.

00:26:06The business black card in my name, which I could have used to repair the damages, but...

00:26:09I guess that's not my concern anymore.

00:26:13You can tell Anya that I, Danny Maxwell, am more than happy to walk away from this fashion house and never, ever come back.

00:26:23Aww.

00:26:25So sad for us.

00:26:27Not.

00:26:29You did not deserve any special treatment, Danny.

00:26:31I mean, just look at you.

00:26:33You're a complete fashion flop.

00:26:34You know, you are all so wrapped up in beauty standards and bullshit that you can't even see the design talent that is right in front of you.

00:26:42Danny, it is true.

00:26:44We have been struggling to beat out Anya Winter for the number one title spot.

00:26:47Then I'm gonna change that.

00:26:49I'll join as creative director.

00:26:51And by this time, next season's runway show, Saint Jean Couture will be number one.

00:26:58You know, I almost feel embarrassed for you, Danny.

00:27:04Losing your spot at the number one fashion house to go and work for this desperate up-and-comer.

00:27:10Although, who else would hire you?

00:27:14Embarrassed for her.

00:27:16You know Vanessa's gonna burn this place to the ground and you are gonna be left for this PR shitstorm to clean up.

00:27:21And something tells me you're not qualified for that, are you?

00:27:26Qualified? And what exactly are you qualified for?

00:27:29Propositioning idiotic interns to go out and peddle up your hideous designs to some micro-influencers?

00:27:37What?

00:27:42I did.

00:27:45She did.

00:27:48She will.

00:27:49Who is that?

00:27:51That was Solea's team.

00:27:53They've asked for five sketches from Danny for her Met Gala look.

00:27:56What was that about micro-influencers?

00:27:59If I'm not mistaken, she has more followers than anyone in the world?

00:28:05Absolutely not. Brynn is supposed to design Solea's gown.

00:28:09Brynn?

00:28:11Guess we got ourselves some competition.

00:28:14This isn't a competition. It's an all-out fashion war.

00:28:16Well, I hope you're ready to die on the battlefield.

00:28:19Let's go, Danny.

00:28:20Gladly. I'm losing brain cells talking to these people.

00:28:24May the best designer win.

00:28:27Don't worry about her, Vanessa. Just send these to Solea's team and there's no way she won't pick us.

00:28:34I'll be Danny with her own designs.

00:28:40Oh my god, Brynn. These are incredible.

00:28:43Between these and the Spring Couture Collection, you've really proven yourself.

00:28:48I'm officially naming you as creative director of Anya Winter Couture.

00:28:55This is a dream come true.

00:28:59And don't forget about me in the face of the menswear line.

00:29:05Great. One step at a time. Stick with me and you'll be very satisfied.

00:29:12Every designer will be gunning for our spot as top couture collection in the world.

00:29:20That's why we need to dress Solea at the Met Gala.

00:29:23And no one can touch us.

00:29:25Not even Claude and that hack Danny.

00:29:28I won't let you down, Vanessa.

00:29:30Now, walk me through how you designed the couture collection in four hours.

00:29:35How did I do it?

00:29:36Oh god, I can't design for crap. I have no idea how Danny pulled that off.

00:29:44What the hell am I going to tell her?

00:29:46I used a highly specialized sewing technique that I learned in my final year of fashion school.

00:29:53The details are really boring. I could show you later.

00:29:57Of course. You have your own technique. You are the creative genius.

00:30:00I mean, these are already Met Gala worthy.

00:30:03If you can bring them to life half as well as you did the spring collection, you have nothing to worry about.

00:30:08Nothing at all.

00:30:10I am now the creative director of the number one fashion house in the world.

00:30:15Step aside, Danny. I'm the new virtual queen now.

00:30:21What do you want?

00:30:24Anya, it's Claude and Jean.

00:30:26Listen, I'm just calling to let you know that we are officially in the running to dress Soleil at her Met Gala.

00:30:32What?

00:30:34We are the number one couture house in the world right now.

00:30:38Why would she want you to dress her as if some young, arrogant dumbass could...

00:30:43Listen, I'm not calling to discuss this. I'm just simply letting you know.

00:30:49Cheers.

00:30:50What the hell is that rat up to?

00:30:55He knows I have a design prodigy at my right hand.

00:30:59Why would he think anybody could beat a superstar like Danny?

00:31:07Unless...

00:31:11Mother, you'll never believe the sketches I got from...

00:31:14Tell me you didn't fire my most talented designer!

00:31:20Calm down, Mother, or else you'll have another heart attack.

00:31:23Like I told you already, I fired that brain-dead slacker intern.

00:31:28Why the hell is Claude St. John competing with us for the Met Gala partnership?

00:31:34Well, I just figured it was pointless to talk him out of it when he's obviously gonna crash and burn along with that talentless intern.

00:31:40They'll design something cheap and tacky for Saleya.

00:31:44And then she'll tell everybody she knows not to touch St. John couture with a ten-foot pole.

00:31:51And then their sad little fashion careers, they'll be over it before they even started.

00:31:56So you...

00:31:58Gaslit Claude into hiring our cast-off?

00:32:02Sure did.

00:32:03He's convinced that the talentless Nepo Baby is the creative genius behind our spring line.

00:32:08That's brilliant!

00:32:10And I thought you're a weak little pushover like your father, but...

00:32:15Maybe you're more like me than I knew.

00:32:18Vanessa, I want you to take full control over the Met Gala partnership with Saleya.

00:32:24Oh, thank you!

00:32:26No more talking!

00:32:28It's time to get to work, and we need to make damn sure Saleya picks our gown for the Gala.

00:32:33We are going to make Claude St. John the laughing stock of the fashion industry.

00:32:42Everyone's buzzing about this Met Gala partnership.

00:32:45Vanessa's never run a fashion house before.

00:32:48Are you sure she can handle this?

00:32:49Did I ask your opinion?

00:32:52My daughter can't fuck this up.

00:32:54Not with Danny Maxwell designing the gown for Saleya.

00:32:58Did I tell you that she actually convinced Claude St. John to hire our strung out sad sack of an intern?

00:33:06I get to sit back and watch Danny work her magic for Saleya's gown while that hack of a talent completely tanks what's left of Claude's fashion house.

00:33:20So, how does our studio compare to the great Anya Winters?

00:33:35It's insane what you've accomplished.

00:33:37I mean, four years ago you were a glorified errand boy at Valentino, and now look at you.

00:33:42Your own couture line.

00:33:44It's everything you ever wanted.

00:33:47Not everything.

00:33:49Well, what about you Danny?

00:33:52I mean, when I met you, you were a quiet little intern, and now you're a fashion genius.

00:33:56Nah, I'm serious.

00:33:58I mean, that work you did on that spring collection, it was...

00:34:01It was inspiring.

00:34:08Yes.

00:34:12Of course.

00:34:14You'll be there.

00:34:15So, Leah loved your Mechella sketches, huh?

00:34:19She chose her favorite from you and Brayden, and she wants you both to show her a sample.

00:34:23Oh my god, when?

00:34:25Tomorrow afternoon?

00:34:27You have 24 hours to make this dress for Saleya.

00:34:31Better get started.

00:34:32I mean, we just got back from New York and I...

00:34:36You created an entire couture collection in what?

00:34:39Four hours?

00:34:41This should be a breeze, right?

00:34:42Right.

00:34:43I can totally pull this off.

00:34:45Then do it.

00:34:46Now!

00:34:47You think you can pull off creating a Mechella gown for a triple A-list celeb in under 24 hours?

00:34:54Who do you think you're talking to?

00:34:56Well, whatever it is.

00:34:58It just needs to be better than this.

00:35:00This is our competition.

00:35:02That's my sketch.

00:35:05That fraud print's been stealing my designs.

00:35:11Of course.

00:35:13She has no real talent of her own.

00:35:18Damn.

00:35:20That dress is insane.

00:35:22A skirt made of stained glass?

00:35:25Insane is right.

00:35:27It's going to be nearly impossible to sew a bodice that could support the weight of the skirt.

00:35:31If Saleya puts on this gown, it's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.

00:35:35Prima wants to be a fashion icon so bad.

00:35:38How will she pull us off?

00:35:40Then it's an easy win, right?

00:35:42We just sit back and let the thieves crash and burn.

00:35:45Not exactly.

00:35:47I'm going to make this same exact dress, only better.

00:35:51Then there'll be no question who the real designer is.

00:35:54But I thought you said it was impossible to pull off.

00:35:58I said nearly impossible.

00:36:05Bryn can try to rip off my designs all she wants.

00:36:08But without the brains or skills to back it up, there's no way she's going to pull it off.

00:36:13And if she tries, that gown is going to fall apart faster than you can say a fashion victim.

00:36:18Let's remember this day, the last day that Claude Sejourn Couture will be at the bottom of the fashion food chase.

00:36:28By this time tomorrow, we'll be the new rulers of the couture kingdom.

00:36:37What the hell is this?

00:36:39Why can't you guys attach the top of the dress to the bottom of the dress?

00:36:43Oh, my God.

00:36:45Bryn, the skirt is too heavy.

00:36:47No excuses!

00:36:48We have four hours to make a dress for Saleya.

00:36:58Gosh, I wish I was getting trash at a club right now.

00:37:00Bryn!

00:37:02How's everything going?

00:37:03Great!

00:37:04I just dropped my scissors.

00:37:06We're putting on the finishing touches.

00:37:09Phone call.

00:37:11I need an update on the Met Gala.

00:37:13Now!

00:37:14Don't worry, Mother.

00:37:15I have everything under control.

00:37:17That clown Claude and that fraud designer are going down.

00:37:23You're killing it, Vanessa.

00:37:25Your mother raised an amazing woman.

00:37:30Keep it up.

00:37:31There might be another promotion in your future.

00:37:33If I can pull this off, I'll go down in fashion history.

00:37:42Who's the brain-dead Nepo baby now?

00:37:59Denny.

00:38:01Denny.

00:38:02Wake up.

00:38:03Come on.

00:38:07Let's get you to bed.

00:38:27Good morning, superstar.

00:38:32This is it.

00:38:42The gown that can make or break me.

00:38:51You should be proud, Denny.

00:38:54It's exceptional.

00:38:56Just like you.

00:38:58Thanks, I...

00:38:59I couldn't have done it without you.

00:39:10Oh, God.

00:39:11I need to change what I'm wearing to meet the most famous woman in the world.

00:39:14Don't worry about it.

00:39:16I had my editor friend Marco pull some things from the Vogue closet for you.

00:39:19Pick anything you like.

00:39:29See you at the meeting.

00:39:30Oh, gosh, this is a freaking disaster.

00:39:42What am I gonna do?

00:39:44Brynn!

00:39:45That better be the best dress you've ever made.

00:39:46Let's go.

00:39:47Ready to retire early, Claude?

00:40:00We're gonna get that Met Gala partnership.

00:40:03In your dreams, Vanessa.

00:40:04Where's your top secret weapon?

00:40:06She'll be here soon.

00:40:08She'll make a big impression on Saleya.

00:40:10Did she bother to iron out the lumps in today's big baggy sweater?

00:40:14I'm sure the most fashionable woman in the world will absolutely love her Walmart chic style.

00:40:20Her talent speaks for itself.

00:40:22Yeah, and also says that she's a desperate, frumpy loser.

00:40:27I just have to find a way to switch mine and Denny's garment bags when no one's looking.

00:40:32It's not like Saleya would even trust that unstylish little piece of...

00:40:35Danny, you look stunning.

00:40:49Thanks.

00:40:52Speechless.

00:40:54Is that a first?

00:40:55Are those that...

00:40:56One of a kind Anya Winterfall couture books?

00:40:59Yes.

00:41:00I am.

00:41:02Okay, but why would my mother give you those?

00:41:04She wouldn't even let me near them.

00:41:06They were a gift.

00:41:07For designing her final look in her fall collection.

00:41:09What kind of Delulu reality are you living in?

00:41:13Look, I always knew you were a lazy, deadbeat intern.

00:41:15But taking credit for another designer's work?

00:41:18That's a whole new low.

00:41:20Taking credit for another designer's work.

00:41:23Friend.

00:41:24I knew a thing or two about that.

00:41:26Watchy ears.

00:41:27Careful now.

00:41:29You think you're some design protege, Danny?

00:41:31This, give me that.

00:41:34This is what the work of a genuine fashion superstar looks like.

00:41:39If Vanessa opens the bag, everyone's gonna see that I'm a total fraud.

00:41:46Saleya will see you now.

00:41:48Designers only.

00:41:50For security reasons, the rest of you will have to wait in the lobby.

00:41:52Hey.

00:41:57You've got this.

00:41:58There's no way she's not gonna pick you.

00:42:03Everything is riding on this Met Gala partnership.

00:42:07Don't fuck it up.

00:42:09I won't let you down.

00:42:13Saleya is expecting you in the studio in 15 minutes.

00:42:16You two can prep your gowns and your models over here.

00:42:18Just don't touch anything.

00:42:23The dress you made?

00:42:25Is that an original Bryn Maxwell design?

00:42:28Or is it stolen?

00:42:31I don't know what you're talking about.

00:42:33You mean you didn't steal my portfolio and pass off my sketches as yours so you could dress the most famous woman in the world for the Met Gala?

00:42:42Tell me Bryn, have you ever actually picked up a sewing needle?

00:42:48That dress you designed is beautiful but very, very complicated.

00:42:56How did you manage to pull that off?

00:42:58We'll just see.

00:43:00Won't we?

00:43:02Yes we will.

00:43:03Oh my gown is hideous.

00:43:13If I don't do something fast, everyone's gonna find out that I'm a total fraud.

00:43:17I've just gotten a taste of fashion fame and I'm not letting Danny that disaster take it from me.

00:43:36Bye bye Danny.

00:43:51So Leia's arriving now.

00:43:53No photos, no sucking up and no touching.

00:43:57Unless she touches you.

00:43:58Got it?

00:43:59Got it.

00:44:07So Leia, this is Bryn Maxwell.

00:44:10It's so nice to meet you.

00:44:12Where's the other one?

00:44:13She must be running a little bit late.

00:44:15I hate people who waste my time.

00:44:17I think she saw my gown and she felt inadequate.

00:44:21Let's see it then.

00:44:36Bryn knocked me out and stole my dress.

00:44:43I knew she was a snake but I didn't realize she was psychotic.

00:44:50The sample preview is starting now and I have nothing to show.

00:45:00Or maybe I did.

00:45:02I do.

00:45:06I present to you your Met Gala look.

00:45:12Sorry fam.

00:45:13It's my Pisces moon.

00:45:15This is like the most transcendental piece of art I've ever seen.

00:45:20I feel connected to it on like a cosmic level.

00:45:23I must wear this dress.

00:45:24I knew you would love it.

00:45:26But what about the other designer?

00:45:28She might...

00:45:29Late.

00:45:30I'll give her three seconds.

00:45:31If she doesn't show up then I've made my choice.

00:45:34Three...

00:45:35Two...

00:45:36Wait!

00:45:38I'm so sorry.

00:45:39I'm late, So Leia.

00:45:40I had a little...

00:45:42Bump.

00:45:43In the rug.

00:45:45I suppose I can forgive you.

00:45:46Mercury is in retrograde.

00:45:49Nice gown Bryn.

00:45:51I wish I could say the same, Dani, but...

00:45:55Your stinks.

00:45:57Gee.

00:45:58I wonder why that is.

00:46:00This dress is so trippy.

00:46:03My mind is seriously being open to a new dimension right now.

00:46:07Okay, but you're not like crying.

00:46:08I mean like mine is still better.

00:46:12Right?

00:46:14I wouldn't say that.

00:46:16What?

00:46:18Isn't that crazy?

00:46:19That you stole my gown and tried to sabotage me and Solea still likes my design better?

00:46:26How much longer can you keep up this shrink?

00:46:29I must know.

00:46:30What was your inspiration?

00:46:33I was inspired by those times when someone just tries to knock you out and...

00:46:38You get the trash and make a treasure.

00:46:43Like the phoenix rises from the ashes again.

00:46:47Or like a rat from a dumpster.

00:46:50I've always felt spiritually connected to the phoenix.

00:46:54Dani, I feel like you really get me.

00:46:56You're a true artist with a true vision.

00:46:59Okay, well what about my vision?

00:47:01What about my art?

00:47:03Bryn's right.

00:47:04She should also have the chance to explain her design.

00:47:10Bryn, tell us how exactly did you craft such an exquisite gown?

00:47:18Crap.

00:47:19I have no idea how Dani made this.

00:47:21What do I say?

00:47:23How did I do it?

00:47:25You're not gatekeeping your creative process from Solea, are you?

00:47:31If you want her to wear your gown at the Met Gala...

00:47:36Doesn't she deserve to know how you made it?

00:47:40It's true. Solea doesn't like gatekeepers.

00:47:44It's a simple question Bryn.

00:47:47If you can't answer it then like, did you really even make the dress?

00:47:51I think the real question here is why is Dani so desperate to know my design secrets?

00:47:56Clearly she's trying to steal my technique because she knows she doesn't measure up.

00:48:02Okay, this taped together thing is not fashion, okay?

00:48:05It's an elementary school art project.

00:48:08Solea, you cannot wear Dani's dress.

00:48:11I mean, look at it. It's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.

00:48:15Besides, it's made out of New York Street trash.

00:48:18She's right. It does kind of have like a fishy smell to it.

00:48:24Thanksgiving, I flopped so hard I ended up on the streets.

00:48:28Well, obviously this is just a sample. The real dress would not-

00:48:31Okay, but my sample is pristine.

00:48:34I mean, Solea, you could put this dress on right now and walk the runway, but Dani's?

00:48:40Dani's is probably made out of disease, rat feces, and meat juice.

00:48:46Oh God, you know I'm a die-hard vegan.

00:48:52I've made my decision. The dress I've chosen to wear to the Met Gala is...

00:48:59Brin's.

00:49:03I can't wear street trash to the Met Gala. It's too big of a risk, even for me.

00:49:07Oh, I'm sorry Dani. But it's easier to go back to trash when...

00:49:13You are trash.

00:49:16But, you know, I do like the skirt on the trash dress better.

00:49:20Brin, can you re-sew yours so I can see what it would look like?

00:49:23Like, like, right now?

00:49:26You made this dress in 24 hours. Surely you can fix a skirt for an audience.

00:49:30Once Solea sees Brin for the fraud she is, she'll have to reconsider her choice.

00:49:36Yeah. Brin, why don't you show us all exactly what you can do?

00:49:42Now.

00:49:49I really work better alone.

00:49:51Not today you don't. Do you want me to wear your dress to the Met Gala or not?

00:49:55This is it.

00:49:57This is it.

00:49:59The moment everyone sees that I'm a total fraud.

00:50:03The moment my talents were finally re-recognized.

00:50:07Solea, Hannah Summer, the editor-in-chief of Rogue Magazine is here to see you.

00:50:12Oh my God, and she's the chair of the Met Gala board.

00:50:15She must have heard I'm picking my dress today.

00:50:17Maybe they're gonna do a feature.

00:50:18Oh my God, she's coming up here right now.

00:50:25Wait, you're not Hannah.

00:50:28Miss Summer had to take a call in the car and sent me up instead.

00:50:31I'm her personal assistant, here to deliver a message.

00:50:36On Anya Winter's suggestion and by the Fashion Council's orders,

00:50:40Danny Maxwell has been blacklisted from the industry and banned from the Met Gala for life.

00:50:49Banned? What the hell for?

00:50:52Insubordination, sabotage amounting to millions of dollars and potential losses.

00:50:58A general lack of personal style.

00:51:02Those aren't just faceless lies.

00:51:03I think we all know who the real liar is here, Danny.

00:51:08How dare you come into Solea's personal studio, waste her precious time knowing you are hated by literally everyone in the fashion industry.

00:51:16Are you trying to tank her career?

00:51:18This is so unnecessarily toxic.

00:51:23This volatile energy is totally throwing me off.

00:51:26Get her out of here.

00:51:27Now.

00:51:32Congratulations.

00:51:33I can't wait to wear your gown to the Met Gala.

00:51:36And I can't wait to steal all of Danny's glory.

00:51:42Hey, Danny, what the hell?

00:51:44Hey, get your hands off of me right now.

00:51:48You okay?

00:51:49Okay, I'd stay back if I were you.

00:51:52Unless you want to get banned from the Met Gala for life, too.

00:51:55Banned?

00:51:57By who?

00:51:58Hannah Summer herself.

00:52:00The editor-in-chief of Vogue and the chair of the Met Gala band, Danny?

00:52:05This is the best day of my life.

00:52:08Mine, too.

00:52:10Vanessa, I bow to you.

00:52:13Okay.

00:52:15I am the real hero here.

00:52:17I mean, Solea's wearing my gown to the Met Gala.

00:52:21And Danny here is going to get herself a little job at McDonald's.

00:52:24The fashion world is not going to miss you.

00:52:27I've given everything for this fashion house.

00:52:30And how do you repay me?

00:52:32By turning everyone in the industry against me?

00:52:36Not everyone.

00:52:39Let's go, Danny.

00:52:47I cannot believe those idiots managed to scam the most famous woman in the world.

00:52:53Who believe it? Look at our latest post.

00:52:56Can't wait to reveal my hashtag Met Gala look tomorrow.

00:52:59I'll be giving the designer a very special shout-out on stage after my exclusive performance.

00:53:03Wait, that's my dress. That should be me on the Met Gala stage.

00:53:10Brent and Vanessa can't get away with this. They're arrogant liars, dirty thieves, and they just...

00:53:15They're everything that you're not.

00:53:20You deserve to be on that stage.

00:53:23And the Danny that I know would never give up on that dream.

00:53:27I know what I have to do.

00:53:32I'm gonna sneak into the Met Gala.

00:53:33Hell yes you are.

00:53:37I'm sneaking into the Met Gala tomorrow. I have work to do.

00:53:40Hey, hey, hey.

00:53:42Let me handle that.

00:53:44Now, let's drink. Celebrate your rise back to the top.

00:53:47Well, it hasn't happened yet.

00:53:53Mm-hmm.

00:53:54But it will.

00:53:59You know, a whole bottle, that's a lot for you.

00:54:03Didn't they used to call you One Cup Club?

00:54:05One Cup Club.

00:54:06Oh.

00:54:08You're tall, but you're quite the length.

00:54:12I'm hurt, Danny.

00:54:14And just so you know, I can handle my alcohol much, much better these days.

00:54:19Oh.

00:54:35You were lightweight.

00:54:37Speak for yourself.

00:54:41Let's get you to bed.

00:54:44Are you kidding?

00:54:45Seriously, I'm not kidding.

00:54:46Oh.

00:54:50Yeah.

00:54:51Oh, Lord.

00:54:53Oh.

00:54:58I suddenly feel very sober.

00:55:00Me too.

00:55:16What do you think?

00:55:26I think the stitching's immaculate.

00:55:29But what's it for?

00:55:31This.

00:55:33Yeah.

00:55:35This is your party-crashing uniform.

00:55:37Marco's gonna meet you on the side entrance of the gala.

00:55:40I owe you both my life.

00:55:43Hmm.

00:55:44I just wanna make sure my star designer gets the recognition that she developed.

00:55:53I'll meet you there.

00:55:55Where are you going?

00:55:56I am bringing Anya Winter out of the hospital.

00:56:00When she finds out that her daughter ran you out of her fashion house and sent a fraud to the biggest event in fashion history, it's gonna be over for her and Brynn.

00:56:11For everything.

00:56:16I'll meet you there.

00:56:25Good luck.

00:56:26We're here at fashion's biggest night, the Met Gala, where everyone who is anyone has gathered in New York City to celebrate the best of fashion.

00:56:48Oh, my God.

00:56:50So, Lea.

00:56:51Darling, how are you?

00:56:53Oh, my God.

00:56:54I am freaking out right now.

00:56:56I mean, this gown.

00:56:59Anyway, best dress of the night.

00:57:03Hands down.

00:57:05Now, tell me, who made this incredible creation?

00:57:09I'm actually not revealing who made it yet, but it'll be a big surprise for everyone inside.

00:57:14Cryptic.

00:57:15I love it.

00:57:16Well, whoever made it is insanely talented.

00:57:21You know, that Brynn collection that you did was just like, whoa.

00:57:26You know?

00:57:27Yeah, I'm kind of like...

00:57:31A genius.

00:57:38Brynn got me banned from the Met Gala, but I made it in.

00:57:42And soon she'll be exposed for the fraud she is.

00:57:44How did that slut get in here?

00:57:47She's going to ruin everything.

00:57:50Champagne Brynn?

00:57:53You cannot be here.

00:57:55You competed against me to dress Solea, the biggest celebrity at the Met Gala, and you lost.

00:58:01Okay.

00:58:02Tonight is my special night, and I cannot have you ruining it.

00:58:04I'm the one who designed Solea's dress.

00:58:07I'm the guest of honor.

00:58:09After all the blood, sweat, and tears I put into making that gown, she stole it from me and dragged my name through the mud.

00:58:17Ben, why are you so obsessed with taking credit for my work?

00:58:20I do not have to answer-

00:58:23Face it, Dani.

00:58:25I have won the respect of everyone who matters in the fashion industry.

00:58:29I'm going to be up there next to Solea on that stage, basking in all your glory.

00:58:35And you?

00:58:37You will still be a no one.

00:58:40You come in here dressed up like a servant expecting me to do what?

00:58:44Fall out your feet and go,

00:58:45Oh, I'm so sorry, Dani. You are so smart and so talented.

00:58:50Never gonna happen.

00:58:52I am rubbing elbows with the hottest, most famous people in the fashion industry, okay?

00:58:57I am wearing the gown of the Met Gala.

00:58:59And you can't touch me now.

00:59:02And who exactly designed the gown your way?

00:59:08Certainly not you, if that's what you're implying.

00:59:10Do you know how much effort was put into making that spring collection?

00:59:17Do you know how hard those designers worked that you fired to save that show?

00:59:26You think Brynn is the one responsible for saving the day?

00:59:30Have you ever even bothered to watch her work?

00:59:33Have you ever even seen her hold a sewing needle?

00:59:35And what have you done to prove yourself?

00:59:38Sneak into the Met Gala dressed as the help?

00:59:40You know, the servant suit really fits you, Dani.

00:59:45I think you, uh, found your true calling.

00:59:48Jordan, do you have so little respect for yourself that you can't see that Vanessa is just using you?

00:59:53You know, we dated for two years and I never asked you for a thing.

00:59:57But the minute Vanessa offers you fifteen minutes of fame you drop me without a thought?

01:00:03What will you do once she's used you up and left you in the dust?

01:00:08You have no idea what you're talking about.

01:00:14Yeah.

01:00:16Jealousy is a disease, Dani.

01:00:19Just because you're talentless and your man upgraded doesn't mean you can take it out on us.

01:00:24You literally got banned for being a talentless scammer.

01:00:29Are you really so desperate to steal my glory that you'd crash the biggest night in fashion?

01:00:35You must be psychotic.

01:00:37Really?

01:00:38And what's the word for stealing another designer's work and using it for clout?

01:00:49Claude.

01:00:50Did you come here to fall at my feet and beg me for a job now that my fashion house officially has the Met Gala partnership and yours?

01:01:02Yours is dead in the water.

01:01:05I'll bet you regret hiring that sneaky little weasel now, don't you?

01:01:09Not as much as you're going to regret putting your daughter in charge.

01:01:12Excuse me?

01:01:13Look.

01:01:16I know you and I haven't always seen eye to eye.

01:01:22Hmm.

01:01:24But I need you to come to that Met Gala with me.

01:01:29There's something you should see.

01:01:30Bitch!

01:01:35My star designer worked her fingers to the bone to make that dress for Saleya.

01:01:40Don't you dare try to take credit for her creative genius.

01:01:46Hmm, very soft.

01:01:48But if she worked her fingers to the bone, then wear the calces.

01:01:52How dare you assault me.

01:01:53Leave.

01:01:54Now.

01:01:56Or what?

01:01:58So entitled.

01:02:00You know, you should be grateful to my mother for even allowing you to step foot into her historic couture house.

01:02:06I never said I wasn't.

01:02:08Your mother is one of the best designers in the world and she took a chance on me.

01:02:13I've always been grateful to her.

01:02:14Grateful?

01:02:16You've tarnished her name and reputation and now you're trying to sabotage the biggest night in the history of this fashion house.

01:02:23Just like you tried to sabotage the spring couture show!

01:02:31I'm the one that saved that collection.

01:02:34Enough!

01:02:35God, you are so embarrassing, Danny!

01:02:45You know, breaking up with you was the best decision that I ever made.

01:02:49You didn't need the favor, really.

01:02:51Thank you so much for saving me from a lifetime of disappointment.

01:02:56Disappointment?

01:02:58If we're talking disappointment, I think it's you because you're the one covered in champagne.

01:03:05Oh my god, is there security around here?

01:03:09This disturbed employee is trying to ruin my couture!

01:03:13And she put her filthy hands on me.

01:03:16So Leia is about to announce Brynn as the designer of her gown and you will not ruin this moment.

01:03:26Get your hands off of her.

01:03:27Vanessa, what the hell have you done with my fashion house?

01:03:39Nothing, Mom. I fired Danny just like you asked.

01:03:42You what?

01:03:50I don't understand. Is it a mistake?

01:03:52A mistake?

01:03:54I...

01:03:56Oh!

01:03:58Oh my god, Mom, are you okay?

01:04:00I... I just need a minute.

01:04:02Okay.

01:04:05Anya, are you okay?

01:04:07Oh Danny, I'm fine.

01:04:10There's something I need to say.

01:04:13I can't let that old slut blow my cover.

01:04:16No, she shouldn't speak.

01:04:18She could have another heart attack.

01:04:20Security, get her out of here.

01:04:24I'm okay. I'm fine.

01:04:26Don't touch her! You're making it worse!

01:04:28Don't listen to anything this worthless server has to say.

01:04:31Take my mother somewhere quieter.

01:04:33I'm fine!

01:04:35I'll be right there.

01:04:37Danny!

01:04:39Hey, I said hands off. Unless you want to be cut it off at least.

01:04:43What the hell was that about?

01:04:45I know you've all been anxiously awaiting the reveal of the designer I've chosen to partner with.

01:04:56Bryn Maxwell, will you join me on stage?

01:04:58Oh my god. She had a wardrobe malfunction.

01:05:03Break the fuck from me. Come on.

01:05:07What the fuck happened? I told you not to fuck it up.

01:05:10I don't know. I...

01:05:12I took a sip.

01:05:13What are you looking at me for?

01:05:15You're the designer of the dress.

01:05:17She wants to be a stock designer, so that...

01:05:20Let's see if she has the skills to throw it off.

01:05:22Someone needs to fix this!

01:05:25Now!

01:05:27Danny, Danny.

01:05:29If that dress splits anymore, this would be a major PR nightmare.

01:05:32I know you can do it.

01:05:34So, please, can you go ahead and fix the dress?

01:05:35Why would I be able to help? I mean, Bryn's the one that designed the dress.

01:05:42Did you fall and smack your little head on the sidewalk?

01:05:46No.

01:05:47Danny is a Nepo baby intern who knows nothing.

01:05:50And Bryn is the creative genius. Remember?

01:05:54Yes, right?

01:05:56Right! I... I totally know what I'm doing.

01:05:59Danny is just a frumpy little service worker who wants to play dress up.

01:06:03Thanks, Danny. I knew you were useless.

01:06:11Thank God Bryn's here.

01:06:13I can do this. How hard can it be to fix a one-of-a-kind couture gown?

01:06:21I put my heart and soul into a dress so I will be proud to wear at the Met Gala.

01:06:25And you built your couture house from the ground up and made so many sacrifices to hire me.

01:06:30I can't let Bryn ruin it all. I have to show Solea what I can do.

01:06:38So go show them who you are.

01:06:41Prove to Solea that you are the genius behind that dress.

01:06:50Bryn, the seams are delicate. The stitch has to be...

01:06:53Shut up! You're ruining her concentration.

01:06:56Um, might be the girl who was, like, banned from the Met Gala. Her life.

01:07:00Yeah, she is. She shouldn't even be here right now.

01:07:03I shouldn't be here? Look at the way Bryn's holding that needle.

01:07:07How much longer can you keep up this act? Just step aside and let me...

01:07:11Oh!

01:07:13Okay, somebody has to call Hannah Summer. The chair of the Gala will know how to handle this dirty little party crasher.

01:07:23What now?

01:07:24We have a security situation. Party crasher on the Gala floor. Someone named Danny Maxwell.

01:07:30Danny? Anya's star designer?

01:07:33I'm fine. I am not some delicate little flower. I had a heart attack, not a lobotomy.

01:07:46Hannah, darling.

01:07:49Anya, I just got word that Danny Maxwell has been banned from the Gala.

01:07:55Your daughter is trying to get her kicked out.

01:07:57What?

01:07:59I said I've got it.

01:08:00Fine. That's the way you want it to be.

01:08:09See? As a true genius behind this dress, I fixed it good as new.

01:08:17Shout out to my hella talented designer Bryn Maxwell of Anya Winter Couture for dressing me tonight.

01:08:23Thanks to her, I swerved a full-on wardrobe malfunction.

01:08:27All of my hard work ruined by Bryn's ego.

01:08:46You know, it takes a profound lack of talents to destroy a gown so beautiful.

01:08:51Yeah, what kind of shoddy repair job was that?

01:08:54That girl is so not worthy of dressing Solea.

01:08:56Yes, I am!

01:08:58I'm suing Anya Winters for all your brand is worth.

01:09:02This is all your fault.

01:09:04My fault?

01:09:06I was trying to help.

01:09:07I was trying to take your mom's little washed up brand and make it relevant by dressing the hottest, most famous woman in the world.

01:09:18How dare you call my mother's brand washed up. You're gonna pay for that.

01:09:22How? Are you gonna fire me like you fired Danny?

01:09:25When all those loser designers got let go. I replaced his staff with my own people.

01:09:32If I go, they go.

01:09:34How will Anya Winters keep its title as number one couture house without a design staff?

01:09:39You won't keep your spot as number one as long as you have a fraud like Bryn as your creative director either.

01:09:49Dude, that girl is totally crashing out right now.

01:09:52I'm calling my lawyers.

01:09:54Bryn, this is all your fault.

01:09:57Okay, if you guys all want someone to blame for this, why did you blame Danny? Okay, I didn't even make that stupid dress. She did!

01:10:03I, I didn't, I, I, I, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean...

01:10:12I think it's finally time to show them who you really are.

01:10:15Bryn's right.

01:10:17I designed the dress.

01:10:19And I'll prove it.

01:10:20Zalaya, will you meet me on stage?

01:10:32Don't!

01:10:34You shouldn't trust that ugly, lying bitch. I mean, look at her. She's gonna drag down your whole image.

01:10:40Image means nothing without substance, without talent. A true fashion genius should know that.

01:10:47Damn. That's deep. I agree. I'm pretty sure you're the one I shouldn't trust.

01:10:54Danny Maxwell, you were a genius.

01:11:05I have never seen something so stunning.

01:11:10I mean, you're a genius.

01:11:13I've never seen something so stunning.

01:11:16I mean, you're a genius.

01:11:19I've never seen something so stunning.

01:11:21I need her to dress me like that.

01:11:25Wait.

01:11:27This means that I fumbled a super talented baddie?

01:11:30Oh, fuck!

01:11:32It's everything I've ever wanted.

01:11:35You saved this night.

01:11:39Holy cow.

01:11:41This is the most beautiful collection I have ever seen.

01:11:44You're a visionary.

01:11:45And this time, everyone knows it.

01:11:50So, Leia! Who are you wearing?

01:11:53I'm wearing...

01:11:55Danny Maxwell.

01:11:59For Corset Jean Couture.

01:12:02It can't be.

01:12:04Danny's the superstar designer that I loved.

01:12:07This is what I've been trying to tell you.

01:12:09Danny is a fashion icon.

01:12:10You!

01:12:11You were never the fashion prodigy of my mother's couture brand.

01:12:14You were the brain-dead nepo baby idiot she warned me about!

01:12:18What is that strung-out deadbeat intern doing at the fucking Met Gala?

01:12:24I thought you fired her.

01:12:25I-I didn't fire her.

01:12:27Um, I actually promoted her to creative director.

01:12:29You promoted this deadbeat and you fired my star designer?!

01:12:31Um, yeah, I-I did.

01:12:33Do you know how hard I've worked?

01:12:35Do you know how much money I spent to get Danny Maxwell in my fashion house?

01:12:39She is the best.

01:12:41You're the best.

01:12:42You're the best.

01:12:44You're the best.

01:12:46You're the best.

01:12:47You're the best.

01:12:48You're the best.

01:12:50You're the best.

01:12:51You're the best.

01:12:53You're the best.

01:12:54She is the lifeblood of this brand.

01:12:58And what did you do?

01:13:00You fired her?

01:13:03So, is that Maxwell along?

01:13:07Vanessa, you're fired.

01:13:09No, Mom, please.

01:13:10Please, you can't.

01:13:11I-I-I need this.

01:13:12I'm embarrassed to even call you my daughter.

01:13:15When I turned this over to you, my fashion house dominated the entire world of couture!

01:13:21And now look at it! It's a laughing stock!

01:13:24You!

01:13:26You did this.

01:13:28I'm really sorry.

01:13:30Shit made me fucked up.

01:13:32How did I fucked up so bad?

01:13:37Hannah is the chair of the Met Gala, and she personally banned Danny.

01:13:42You would not want a fashion outcast on your team now, would you?

01:13:46You have some nerve telling me what I did or didn't do?

01:13:52You duped us all into thinking you're a fashion icon when you're nothing more than a dirty scammer in a designer dress.

01:14:00Danny Maxwell is officially granted a lifetime invitation to the Met Gala.

01:14:10But you are banned forever.

01:14:14And you're fired too.

01:14:16Security?

01:14:17No!

01:14:18Take her away.

01:14:19No, please!

01:14:20Danny, please come back to work for me.

01:14:31You know how much I have done for you.

01:14:34My fashion house can't survive without you.

01:14:37I am begging you.

01:14:40Everything you gave me, I gave it all back when your daughter accused me of sabotaging a thing I put my heart and soul into creating.

01:14:48No, she's exaggerating!

01:14:50That's not what happened!

01:14:51It was Brynn!

01:14:52She was scheming to try to steal Danny's job the whole time!

01:14:56That bitch duped me and got me all confused!

01:14:59Seriously?

01:15:00Well, that confusion almost cost me my whole fashion career and everything I've worked for.

01:15:05Did it feel good making me take the fall for your stupid mistakes?

01:15:10Danny, I'm so sorry.

01:15:14I'm sorry too.

01:15:15I'm not coming back to Anya Winter Couture.

01:15:19I'm staying where I know I'm appreciated.

01:15:22Where no one's ever questioned my talent, my vision, my style.

01:15:27So please, step aside.

01:15:33This is our moment.

01:15:38And we at Claude Saint-Jean Couture wishing nothing but the best, Anya.

01:15:45You ruined it!

01:15:50You have ruined everything I've built!

01:15:54I am!

01:15:58Wow.

01:15:59Really going at you like a bunch of savages, aren't they?

01:16:02Yes.

01:16:04Sorry, are you crying?

01:16:05God.

01:16:07You're hot.

01:16:09Have you ever wanted to be the face of a menswear line?

01:16:12Hell yeah!

01:16:15You better not show up at the office tomorrow.

01:16:18I never should have hired you.

01:16:19Oh no!

01:16:20I need a job!

01:16:22Vanessa!

01:16:24Vanessa!

01:16:26Vanessa!

01:16:28I'm too hot to be on these streets!

01:16:35Call me.

01:16:37Danny!

01:16:39Why could I ever leave you?

01:16:41We'd have to take some red carpet pics together.

01:16:44I need all 900 million of my followers to know exactly who made my dress team.

01:16:48Give me five minutes.

01:17:05I knew you'd take back your crown.

01:17:08You're breathing.

01:17:09I always have.

01:17:11And I always will.

01:17:24Congratulations.

01:17:27You made it to the top.

01:17:29And that's where I'll stay.
