00:00:00 Claire Duval, my fiancé betrayed me with a woman who I thought was a friend.
00:00:05 Dylan, where are you?
00:00:07 Ava really needs me.
00:00:09 I'm ready to move forward.
00:00:11 Mr. Cross, you need a wife and I need revenge. We should get married.
00:00:18 The days of pretending to be a model, they're over, Claire.
00:00:22 You've lost everything.
00:00:24 You just don't know it yet.
00:00:28 I'm not a nobody. I'm going to take your eyes off of you.
00:00:32 You don't have to say that just because we're married.
00:00:35 Claire cannot succeed.
00:00:37 I'm perfect.
00:00:39 My 12-year-old patience.
00:00:41 Ava touches my wife.
00:00:43 Since Christian came into my life, I think my luck has finally changed.
00:00:48 So, who will be the 23rd winner of the top model competition?
00:00:54 Claire Duval, my fiancé betrayed me with a woman who I thought was a friend.
00:00:58 Dylan, where are you?
00:01:00 Claire, my love for you transcends words.
00:01:10 You are my forever.
00:01:12 Will you marry me?
00:01:17 Yes.
00:01:19 I'm so happy.
00:01:21 Okay, wait. You guys look so good. I need a photo.
00:01:28 One, two, three.
00:01:30 Lucky bitch.
00:01:32 Claire and Dylan!
00:01:34 Drink more, baby.
00:01:38 So, you proposed to that bitch, huh?
00:01:48 She's fucking sexy.
00:01:50 I like him in the dark.
00:01:52 Hey, hey, hey. What are you doing?
00:01:55 Don't worry about her. It's a photo or something. You all know.
00:02:01 Come on.
00:02:02 You've lost everything.
00:02:22 And you just don't know it yet.
00:02:25 I'm pregnant with Dylan's child.
00:02:27 He won't show up tomorrow.
00:02:30 Rise and shine!
00:02:33 Wait. No can do.
00:02:36 What happened here after I left?
00:02:38 Zoe, I had the most awful dream last night.
00:02:41 No more wedding jitters. You can't be late to your big date. That's bad luck.
00:02:45 Speaking of luck, have I drew something new?
00:02:48 No.
00:02:49 I'm not sure.
00:02:50 Hey, that's bad luck. Speaking of luck, have I drew something new?
00:02:54 It's beautiful. Thank you. I hope you didn't spend too much.
00:02:59 Never do.
00:03:00 L.E. Express, baby. Things you love, don't need to break the bank.
00:03:03 Come on. You're getting married!
00:03:06 Let's go.
00:03:07 Is it really a dream?
00:03:13 Dylan, where are you?
00:03:17 Hey, hey. I'm at the hospital.
00:03:19 Are you okay? What happened?
00:03:21 No, I'm fine. It's Eva. She fainted.
00:03:25 Yeah, the doctors are running tests. I'm with her now.
00:03:28 So I'm not going to be able to marry you today.
00:03:31 He won't show up tomorrow.
00:03:34 Just you wait.
00:03:36 He's fine.
00:03:40 I'm with her now. So I'm not going to be able to marry you today.
00:03:48 I know. I'm sorry. I wanted to be there, but Eva really needs me.
00:03:53 Come on, Claire-Bear. You know I love you.
00:03:56 I gotta go.
00:03:58 It wasn't a dream.
00:04:17 It's real.
00:04:19 It's all real.
00:04:23 Christian, your fiancé refuses to sign the prenup and now she won't answer her phone.
00:04:40 She stalled for the wedding day.
00:04:42 This is Blackman. Cut her leash.
00:04:45 That's Christian Cross, the CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment.
00:04:50 Christian, your father doesn't care who I marry as long as it gets done today.
00:04:57 Find me another girl.
00:04:59 I'm gone now.
00:05:01 I must be crazy to even consider this.
00:05:04 Mr. Cross?
00:05:07 I have a proposition for you.
00:05:09 My name is Claire Duval.
00:05:22 My fiancé betrayed me with a woman who I thought was a friend.
00:05:26 Okay. How is it I can help you, Miss Duval?
00:05:30 I'm not sure I can help you.
00:05:32 Okay. How is it I can help you, Miss Duval?
00:05:36 Actually, it's how we can help each other.
00:05:39 You need a wife and I need revenge.
00:05:42 We should get married.
00:05:44 Gavin?
00:05:47 Already on it. Claire Duval, 25.
00:05:50 No criminal record. Model with Newstown Agency and unmarried.
00:05:55 Deal.
00:06:02 Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Cross.
00:06:05 So, thank you for doing this.
00:06:26 If it's all the same to you, I'd like to ask you to marry me.
00:06:30 If it's all the same to you, I'd like to keep this arrangement a secret for now.
00:06:36 I need my fiancé, ex-fiancé, to find out about us in the right way, at just the right moment.
00:06:43 I'll give you six months to plot the exact year of marriage.
00:06:47 After that, our marriage announcement will be released to the press.
00:06:50 Fair enough.
00:06:52 One more thing. I need this marriage to appear as real as possible.
00:06:57 That means living under the same roof.
00:06:59 Oh.
00:07:00 I have a very loyal, discreet staff that will keep our secret a secret.
00:07:05 Every need will be met.
00:07:07 I can live with that.
00:07:09 Gavin will be in touch.
00:07:11 That Miss Duval, she's, um, she's something.
00:07:20 Don't you mean Mrs. Cross?
00:07:22 Right. I just mean...
00:07:25 You didn't even mention the prenup. Am I missing something?
00:07:28 I'm sick and famished.
00:07:30 I want you to keep a close eye on my wife.
00:07:33 Consider it done, boss.
00:07:35 Okay, she's walking in right now. I gotta go.
00:07:51 Hey, thank God you're here.
00:07:55 Eva was supposed to walk into the tour show later today. I need you to pretend to be her.
00:07:59 You promised me last time I wouldn't have to do that again, Dylan.
00:08:04 My company cannot afford to lose this commission.
00:08:07 If you love me, you'll do this.
00:08:09 I guess you leave me with no choice.
00:08:16 I'll do it.
00:08:18 I'm sorry everything got so screwed up yesterday.
00:08:22 We'll get married soon.
00:08:25 I promise you.
00:08:27 You don't know just how sorry you're gonna be.
00:08:31 Welcome to the Vincent Latour Jewelry Showcase.
00:08:35 With fashion outfits provided by AliExpress.
00:08:38 I'm going to be sick. What a two-timing bastard.
00:08:47 Eva, that's the bitch.
00:08:49 I know.
00:08:50 Guard this for your life. As it is.
00:08:53 Piss off, Felix, you insufferable parasite.
00:08:55 At least Eva's set to win the top model competition.
00:08:58 30 years in a row. Your girl's career imploded before it even took off.
00:09:02 Up. Standing right here.
00:09:04 Hurry. Put on your mask. That's the designer.
00:09:07 He can never know you're not Eva.
00:09:09 Silly, what are you doing?
00:09:18 I'm grabbing the model gifting and we're out of here.
00:09:20 You're not covering up for Eva again. Especially after what she did to you.
00:09:24 Actually, I have a plan.
00:09:27 Hand me the bracelet.
00:09:29 Modeling our next piece in the True Love collection is Eva Fetish.
00:09:35 Behold the Juliet bracelet.
00:09:40 Crafted with 36 squished emeralds and 15 flawless diamonds.
00:09:45 This 22-carat one graces the wrist of our radiant Miss Eva Fetish.
00:09:52 What is that?
00:09:58 I've never done anklets. I hate anklets.
00:10:01 Oh, I'm a genius.
00:10:07 I love it.
00:10:08 I want one.
00:10:10 Oh, perhaps I could envision an anklet or two in my line.
00:10:15 Your girl just came up. You should get in here.
00:10:19 Well, hello. That is not Eva Fetish.
00:10:23 She does not possess fabulous legs like that.
00:10:26 What is she up to?
00:10:28 Who's under the mask?
00:10:30 Mask off!
00:10:32 Mask off! Mask off! Mask off! Mask off! Mask off! Mask off! Mask off! Mask off! Mask off!
00:10:42 Well, let's all see what we're hiding here.
00:10:45 Where did you come from?
00:10:55 From a very long time.
00:10:58 A nobody and now a thief.
00:11:01 How dare you steal Eva Bennett's place?
00:11:03 That's a lie.
00:11:05 You don't want to do that.
00:11:10 Mr. Cross, we were not expecting you to come this evening.
00:11:14 Well, it's a good thing I did.
00:11:16 You all right?
00:11:21 I am now.
00:11:23 Joan Fairchild, Glamour Magazine.
00:11:29 Does this make your first return to the runway?
00:11:32 How do you know the CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment, Christian Cross?
00:11:35 Is there bad blood between you and Eva B?
00:11:37 No comment.
00:11:39 Need a ride?
00:11:48 Well, that was exciting.
00:11:56 Sorry to get you mixed up in all this.
00:11:59 That's what husbands are for.
00:12:01 You want to tell me what's going on back there?
00:12:04 I did it on purpose.
00:12:07 Put the bracelet on my ankle.
00:12:09 The biggest difference between Eva and I is our legs.
00:12:12 I wanted to get caught.
00:12:14 I wanted to get caught.
00:12:19 And you did so spectacularly.
00:12:22 I've never seen a model command the stage like you did over there.
00:12:25 We're a nobody.
00:12:27 You're not a nobody.
00:12:29 We'll take our eyes off of you.
00:12:31 You don't have to say that just because we're married.
00:12:34 I know my modeling track record has been pathetic at best.
00:12:38 Okay, and why is that?
00:12:40 From where I'm sitting, you have everything you need to be a top model.
00:12:44 I don't know, just unlucky or something.
00:12:47 Or something.
00:12:54 I think I'm going to be sick.
00:12:55 I can't deal with more reporters tonight.
00:12:58 We can go back to my place.
00:13:00 Let's go.
00:13:02 Let's do it.
00:13:07 This night can't get any crazier.
00:13:10 I've got to get this.
00:13:12 Hey.
00:13:13 It's not good.
00:13:14 Eva just gave an interview.
00:13:17 It's not looking good.
00:13:20 Eva just gave an interview.
00:13:22 She told the reporters that she did not ask you to step in.
00:13:25 She said that nobody can model AliExpress and Bess on a tour like she does.
00:13:30 And in fact, she said that you deliberately pushed her.
00:13:34 And that's how she got hurt.
00:13:36 Wow.
00:13:37 So I've been bumped from stealing her spot to bodily assault?
00:13:40 She's one step ahead of us.
00:13:43 Not for long.
00:13:45 Eva's going to want to revel in this victory, and she has a thing for bathrooms, so...
00:13:50 Gross.
00:13:52 Zoe, here's what we're going to do.
00:13:55 Mr. Latoya, I take it you saw the interview?
00:13:59 Yes.
00:14:00 Yes, I agree.
00:14:01 Claire has her issues.
00:14:03 No, no, no, don't worry.
00:14:04 I've taken care of it.
00:14:06 Don't worry.
00:14:07 I've taken care of it.
00:14:09 My legal department is preparing a statement for the press, which will take full responsibility.
00:14:14 Eva will be in top shape, back on her feet for the shoot in Seattle.
00:14:19 Yes, you have my word.
00:14:21 So, what do you say?
00:14:24 The tour's in the bag.
00:14:26 But Claire has to take the fall.
00:14:28 Perfect.
00:14:30 Let's celebrate.
00:14:32 Are you going to join me?
00:14:42 Uh, do you think that's a good idea?
00:14:45 Because the doctor hasn't diagnosed your mysterious stomach issue yet.
00:14:49 I have a different kind of ache, and I need you to take care of it.
00:14:54 Wine?
00:15:03 Is that a Jackson Pollock?
00:15:06 It is.
00:15:07 It's my favorite piece of his.
00:15:09 It's incredible.
00:15:11 You hungry?
00:15:13 Starved.
00:15:15 You're awfully quiet.
00:15:25 More like speechless.
00:15:27 The food was amazing.
00:15:29 Where did you learn to cook like that?
00:15:31 It'll sound cliche, but growing up I spent more time in the kitchen with the staff than with my actual parents.
00:15:37 I get it.
00:15:39 You would.
00:15:41 You're nothing like I thought you'd be.
00:15:44 Darragh adds.
00:15:46 Ruthless.
00:15:48 Someone used to getting what they want at the expense of others.
00:15:51 Someone who cares more about the bottom line than people.
00:15:55 To most, I am that person.
00:16:00 To the ones I hold dear, the ones I choose to let in.
00:16:06 [music]
00:16:08 Make no mistake, Claire.
00:16:21 If you do betray me, you'll be no forgiveness.
00:16:25 Right back at you, Mr. Cross.
00:16:28 [music]
00:16:30 Morning.
00:16:41 Sorry, I must have dozed off.
00:16:43 Hold on, let me get that.
00:16:45 I don't think that's a good idea.
00:16:47 Hello?
00:16:52 Hello?
00:16:55 Where are you?
00:16:56 I found a place to hide out. The reporters are hounding me.
00:16:58 Claire Bear, I know this isn't ideal, but I need you in the office right now.
00:17:03 Not ideal? Ava practically told the whole world I'm crazy.
00:17:07 Just forgive her.
00:17:08 Poor Ava. The medication she's on is making her paranoid.
00:17:12 Will I see you soon?
00:17:14 Sure, Dylan. I'll see you soon.
00:17:17 What are you doing?
00:17:21 Just in case you need anything.
00:17:24 Daddy?
00:17:25 I mean, I was going to hug you, but I said you're keeping me a secret.
00:17:29 For now.
00:17:31 What were you thinking, Claire?
00:17:39 All you had to do was put on the damn bracelet and walk the runway show for Ava.
00:17:43 Why would you draw that much attention to your legs?
00:17:46 The bracelet was tailored to Ava's wrist, and she's bigger boned than me.
00:17:50 It didn't fit. I had to improvise.
00:17:53 That makes sense. You know, I knew Ava was dead set that you were at some agenda against me,
00:17:58 but I told her there's no way that you would sabotage me.
00:18:01 We're getting married. You love me. You would never hurt me.
00:18:04 You're right, Dylan. You know me so well.
00:18:08 There's still a situation here, and if you don't do something to fix this,
00:18:12 Muse will lose the Latour contract.
00:18:15 This will cause a domino effect at the agency, and I won't be able to stop the cutbacks.
00:18:20 Junior staff will lose their jobs. That includes Zoe.
00:18:24 I can't have that.
00:18:26 I can't have that.
00:18:29 Well, there's not much time.
00:18:31 My legal department has prepared a damage control script.
00:18:36 Memorize it.
00:18:38 You'll be meeting with the press in ten minutes.
00:18:40 But this is a confession.
00:18:43 I might not have a career after this.
00:18:45 Well, let's be honest.
00:18:47 Our top billing model, then you, Claire,
00:18:50 it never really took off, despite all the opportunities I created for you.
00:18:55 I get it. I'm expendable.
00:18:59 One more thing.
00:19:02 Stick to the script.
00:19:05 No more improvising.
00:19:07 Everything ready to go?
00:19:15 I'm putting my fingers on the trigger.
00:19:17 I gotta go. Fire away.
00:19:19 Okay.
00:19:20 Please tell me you're not using a burner.
00:19:22 Who the hell are you?
00:19:24 I'm thinking too small, Bucky.
00:19:29 Members of the press, thank you for coming.
00:19:41 In regards to the events that occurred at the True Love fashion show,
00:19:45 I deeply regret any harm I caused Mr. Vincent Latour and his revered brand.
00:19:50 I take full responsibility for my actions.
00:19:53 The news talent agency had no knowledge of my intention to take Ava's place on the runway.
00:19:59 These photos would suggest otherwise.
00:20:02 Photos? What photos?
00:20:10 Photos? What photos?
00:20:12 This is evidence that Mr. Ball regularly pretends to be Miss Bennet over the last two years.
00:20:18 Surely the president of the company must have known.
00:20:21 Right.
00:20:22 Claire, if you're being used as a scapegoat and you want to be rescued, just blink twice.
00:20:26 Mr. Ball stands by her statement.
00:20:29 She acted alone as the sole perpetrator.
00:20:32 I, we, news talent as a company, had no idea of any and all prior incidences.
00:20:39 (murmuring)
00:20:43 Oh, we are done here.
00:20:45 Wait a minute.
00:20:46 (murmuring)
00:20:50 Mr. Maxwell.
00:20:52 (murmuring)
00:20:55 Nicely done, Gavin.
00:20:57 Thank you, Christian.
00:20:59 The lady's had it under control. I just gave her a little boost.
00:21:03 My wife's a force of nature.
00:21:05 Yeah, she's had to be.
00:21:08 (murmuring)
00:21:10 Take a look at that.
00:21:12 Here's what I got so far.
00:21:17 Upon signing with News Talent Agency at 21, Claire Duval was initially overseen by Miranda Maxwell.
00:21:23 Now, Maxwell's older sister.
00:21:25 Now, the chairman of Maxwell Holdings. We've crossed paths.
00:21:28 Exactly.
00:21:29 Claire was hailed a rising star in the modeling world.
00:21:32 Then, inexplicably, her stardom plummeted.
00:21:35 Rumors began to spread that she was temperamental.
00:21:37 She would show up late for shoots or not at all.
00:21:40 It was even suspected that drugs were involved.
00:21:42 Offers dried up completely.
00:21:44 They deliberately ruined her.
00:21:46 It appears that way.
00:21:48 But, why?
00:21:50 If you want to crush someone's dream, you don't just take it away.
00:21:55 You kill it.
00:21:56 By that time, Claire's access to senior management was non-existent.
00:22:01 She was relegated to a junior manager by the name of Zoe Bauer.
00:22:05 And that's when Dylan Maxwell started dating Claire.
00:22:08 He broke her down just so he could scoop her up.
00:22:12 It doesn't make sense.
00:22:14 Claire Duval is the total package.
00:22:17 Why would a talent agency take the career of a supermodel in the making?
00:22:20 Because there was more money to be made elsewhere.
00:22:23 Someone's pulling Dylan Maxwell's strings.
00:22:27 We have to find the puppet master.
00:22:30 [Music]
00:22:59 [Sigh]
00:23:04 What?
00:23:05 Claire, the paparazzi keeps following me everywhere, but I think I can lose them.
00:23:10 Can I come over?
00:23:12 No. No, I'm crashing at Zoe's.
00:23:15 We need to strategize our next move.
00:23:17 What next move? There is no next move.
00:23:19 I've done my part and took the blame.
00:23:21 No, no, no. It backfired. They're not after you now, Claire. They're after me.
00:23:25 You could go and apologize to Ava.
00:23:28 You can't be serious.
00:23:30 No, I mean, if the prestige can do that, then...
00:23:32 Then, then they'll think I'm crazy.
00:23:34 They'll think you're repentant.
00:23:36 And I'm starting to question your loyalty, Claire.
00:23:40 Are you still with me?
00:23:42 Of course, Dylan.
00:23:46 I'll be right there.
00:23:55 When she gets here, I say we put Claire in her place.
00:23:58 [Chuckles]
00:23:59 The little princess bowing before me. Genius. I love it.
00:24:02 And everyone will see just how low she has fallen.
00:24:05 That little bitch needs it drilled into her sad head that Dylan is mine.
00:24:11 True that.
00:24:12 Honestly, the one true star of Muse Talent Agency is Ava Bennett Maxwell.
00:24:20 Accurate.
00:24:22 She's going to push your buttons.
00:24:25 Don't let her.
00:24:26 I won't.
00:24:28 Stop. She's coming.
00:24:34 Ava?
00:24:39 Claire?
00:24:41 Didn't you come here to do something, like apologize to moi?
00:24:48 That's what Dylan wants.
00:24:50 Then get to it.
00:24:52 What is this?
00:25:01 Well, if you really want to apologize to me...
00:25:04 Then get down on your hands and knees.
00:25:09 Then wash my feet.
00:25:16 Just when I thought you couldn't sink any lower, you surprise me.
00:25:21 Doesn't really sound like an apology, does it?
00:25:25 You know what, Ava? I am sorry.
00:25:29 You know what, Ava? I am sorry.
00:25:33 Seeing you like this, seeing what you've become,
00:25:36 seeing just how far you'll go to feed the emptiness inside of you.
00:25:41 You know what? It's not your feet that need to be washed.
00:25:44 It's that cold, black heart of yours.
00:25:47 Bravo, Claire. How long have you been rehearsing that little speech?
00:25:53 I'm still waiting on my apology, TikTok.
00:25:57 Then let me be perfectly clear.
00:26:00 I will never, for as long as I live, apologize to the likes of you.
00:26:06 Did you get all that?
00:26:12 [laughs]
00:26:14 Hey, fam. Reggie here. Welcome back to my channel.
00:26:18 So, the past 40 hours have been a cray-cray.
00:26:22 So, let's figure out what's going on in the battle royale of supermodels.
00:26:26 I will never, for as long as I live, apologize to the likes of you.
00:26:33 Ooh, ooh, ooh. Listen here.
00:26:36 Claire Dee was about to show all her true colors.
00:26:39 But guess what, fans? That girl has nothing to apologize for.
00:26:42 Nada. Zilch.
00:26:44 Because this intrepid reporter has obtained intimate photos of Ava B.
00:26:49 And a certain muse, CEO.
00:26:51 Dylan M., aren't you engaged to, uh, Claire Dee?
00:26:55 She just got a cheat, I guess.
00:26:57 And listen here, Ava B.
00:26:58 You are one naughty, nasty, disgusting little girl, by the way.
00:27:04 So, tune in next week to see what happens on the battle royale of supermodels.
00:27:08 I'm gonna go and plug my eyes out now, 'cause I feel wrong.
00:27:13 Wrong.
00:27:14 It's Reggie doing your anonymous tape and Ray in with it.
00:27:17 It's brilliant, Claire.
00:27:18 Oh, that? That was nothing.
00:27:21 You're enjoying this.
00:27:23 What's that old expression, "Revenge is sweet"?
00:27:26 I like the sight of you.
00:27:28 Then do you want to join me on part two of my revenge?
00:27:31 Lead the way.
00:27:36 Hey, it's Claire. Leave a message.
00:27:38 Hey, Claire Bear. Um, I'm here where you told us to meet. Where are you?
00:27:43 Hey, look, Ava thing, it's not what it seems, okay?
00:27:46 We can talk about it when you get here.
00:27:48 See you soon.
00:27:50 I cannot tell you how many times I was one left hanging, waiting for him.
00:28:04 Sometimes he would show. Most often not at all.
00:28:08 Do you still love him?
00:28:10 How can I love someone I never really knew?
00:28:14 Look at him over there, plotting ways to get me back. He's clearly into Ava.
00:28:20 Why is he trying so hard to salvage a relationship he cares nothing about?
00:28:24 That's the million dollar question.
00:28:31 You're a bastard. Do you want to keep watching?
00:28:35 No. I'm ready to move forward. Let's go back to my house and get the last of my things.
00:28:41 You came by to say goodnight.
00:28:52 Come in.
00:28:54 Is this your family?
00:28:58 This is my debutante ball. I was 20.
00:29:01 Was it a memorable night?
00:29:03 Unforgettable.
00:29:05 Claire? Where are you, Claire?
00:29:10 Claire?
00:29:13 Claire, there you are. What are you doing hiding out here? This is your debut.
00:29:19 I just need a moment, Mom.
00:29:22 Hm. Well, your grandmother's looking for you. She has someone she wants you to meet.
00:29:27 It's quite a catch.
00:29:29 I want more from this life than balls and suitable matches and this golden cage.
00:29:34 There's a world out there to explore. Adventures to have. Risks to take.
00:29:38 Enough of this nonsense, Claire. Your grandmother is not someone to be trifled with.
00:29:44 Well, tell her thanks but no thanks.
00:29:47 Honestly, tell her I'd rather die than meet another boring, entitled rich boy that checks all of her boxes.
00:29:53 Don't be selfish.
00:29:56 Can't afford another scandal.
00:29:59 Like when Dad...
00:30:01 Like when Dad left his first wife for you?
00:30:09 Remember who you are.
00:30:15 The sole heiress to the Winthrop Empire.
00:30:18 You need to stay here and do your part, young lady.
00:30:22 I'm not your young lady. And I'm no longer a Winthrop.
00:30:27 From now on, I'll forge my own path and make my own name.
00:30:31 That was the last time I saw them before I ran away.
00:30:42 They died in a helicopter crash a year later.
00:30:45 Hmm, what's the five gonna be today?
00:31:09 Amy, what's the possibility? So many to pick from.
00:31:12 With AliExpress, you're covered wherever you go.
00:31:15 Ellis, did you see it? It's just me modeling for AliExpress.
00:31:22 First a scandal and now this. The world is turning against me. I need you.
00:31:28 You're not the only one going through shit, Ava.
00:31:31 Why are you being so mean?
00:31:36 My office. Now.
00:31:39 I'm...
00:31:40 Prove your appetite, baby brother.
00:31:48 This was supposed to be easy, and you're fucking it all up.
00:31:53 Claire, it's me. I'm coming in, okay?
00:32:02 [phone ringing]
00:32:04 Claire, did our plan backfire? Should I be worried? Where are you?
00:32:13 I'm home.
00:32:15 Bullshit! I am in your house.
00:32:18 Yeah, I woke up this morning and got like a thousand texts from Dylan asking for your whereabouts.
00:32:22 He wanted my address since you were crashing at my place, but we both know you're not at my place, you're at yours.
00:32:28 So Claire, where are you?
00:32:30 In the mood for a frittata.
00:32:32 Frittata? Who's that?
00:32:35 So?
00:32:38 I got married.
00:32:40 Married? When? How? With?
00:32:46 With who?
00:32:47 It's a long story, Ava. It's too long for a phone call. Stay put, Gavin will pick you up.
00:32:52 Gavin? Who the hell is Gavin?
00:32:56 [phone ringing]
00:32:58 Hey, Rookie. Gavin and I at your service.
00:33:04 You.
00:33:06 [laughing]
00:33:10 Why would you do that?
00:33:12 For being a fair and honest prick.
00:33:14 You're gonna short fuse, Rookie.
00:33:16 My name is Zoe, asshole.
00:33:21 [phone ringing]
00:33:23 We're coming in.
00:33:37 Hi.
00:33:39 I'm Christian Cross. I'm Christian Cross.
00:33:47 Believe me, Mr. Cross. I know who you are. Everybody knows.
00:33:51 Call me Christian. I mean, Claire talks so much about you, I feel like I already know you.
00:33:55 Yeah? Cool.
00:33:59 Claire, a word?
00:34:01 No kicks, right?
00:34:13 I'm married to Mr. Cross. Don't freak out.
00:34:17 Too late. Christian Cross is your husband.
00:34:20 I know. Claire, this is like next, next level.
00:34:23 Dylan is gonna shit himself.
00:34:25 You couldn't ask for sweeter revenge than dumping that shriveled little worm in school.
00:34:30 The richest, baddest, sexiest dude in this whole fricking planet.
00:34:35 Zoe, we can't tell anyone yet. Swear you won't say anything.
00:34:40 I swear. This is going to be epic!
00:34:44 Oh my gosh.
00:34:46 Dylan, what are you doing here?
00:34:54 I need to talk to you.
00:34:56 Doc, have you figured out what's wrong with her stomach?
00:34:58 Yes. I predict that it will be resolved in nine months.
00:35:01 Why? That's long.
00:35:03 Medicine has come a long way, Mr. Maxwell, but even science can't shorten the gestation period of a fetus.
00:35:09 Oh.
00:35:11 Okay, so, we stabilized your pregnancy and corrected your acute need.
00:35:19 You're no longer at risk of miscarriage, but if you continue to neglect your condition,
00:35:23 you will need to come back and get another transfusion.
00:35:26 Do not wait until you faint this time, Miss Bennett.
00:35:29 Thanks, Doctor. You're welcome.
00:35:31 Okay, Miss Bennett.
00:35:34 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:35:42 I can't believe this.
00:35:44 You're pregnant? Why wouldn't you tell me about this before?
00:35:48 This is a fucking disaster.
00:35:51 How can you have a bun in the oven and walk on the runway, huh?
00:35:55 You know if the press finds out, we're fucked.
00:35:58 They will tear us to shreds. There is no coming back from this.
00:36:02 Do you understand what you've done?
00:36:04 If Claire finds out about this, she won't marry me. I've lost everything.
00:36:08 How dare you? I am so sick and tired of hearing Claire's name.
00:36:15 You aren't going to be a father now, Dylan.
00:36:17 How can you just still marry her? You told me you don't love her anymore.
00:36:20 I don't love her. Ava, it is...
00:36:23 Then break up with her and marry me!
00:36:25 It's not that simple. Claire is worth billions, or her family is. She is a Winthrop.
00:36:31 So you're telling me that that skank-leggy bitch is some secret heiress?
00:36:37 When Claire became a model, she had to change her name because her family didn't approve.
00:36:43 And how do you know this information?
00:36:45 Miranda, my sister. She runs in the same circles as her grandmother.
00:36:50 Just think about it. If I marry Claire, the only thing that's standing between me and three billion dollars
00:36:57 is an ancient bitch who's about to fall in love with her.
00:37:00 You mean three billion dollars standing between us. Right, Dylan?
00:37:05 Of course, Ava. But in order for that to work, Claire cannot succeed.
00:37:10 And you have to be at the top of your game and win the competition.
00:37:15 Or if that doesn't work, sabotage.
00:37:18 Claire won't know what hit her.
00:37:20 And we still have the Latour contract. So we can turn this thing around.
00:37:24 You'll win top model at the competition. Claire will be crushed. And have to marry me.
00:37:31 And then we'll tell everybody that you're a broad and a blonde. Or you're having our baby.
00:37:37 And once that elder bitch croaks, a series of unfortunate events will happen to Claire.
00:37:43 Too bad. So sad. Bye-bye, Claire-bear.
00:37:47 [laughter]
00:37:49 [sigh]
00:37:53 After careful consideration, Latour has chosen Claire Duval as the new face of our true love collection.
00:38:01 I'm deeply honored by Miss Latour's faith in me. And I look forward to representing such a prestigious global brand.
00:38:11 Uh, Mr. Latour? A little birdie told me that Ava B's contract was terminated using a morality clause.
00:38:18 Well, after the whole bathroom gate scandal, can you blame me?
00:38:23 But Miss Duval's not without her own controversy. Especially after impersonating Ava Bennett at her own show.
00:38:30 What made you decide to give her a shot?
00:38:32 Well, Christian, you are asking me to bet on an unproven model with a dubious past.
00:38:42 I could tell you how brilliant she is, or how lucky you'd be to have her, but I'm not going to try to persuade you, and time will do that.
00:38:49 What I will say is, if you don't hire Claire Duval, Pinnacle will unilaterally stop moving Latour across all platforms.
00:39:00 From film and television productions to our cruise lines.
00:39:06 Well, you know, when I decided to expand from a single shop on Jewelers Row to an international brand with shops on seven continents,
00:39:17 someone took a chance on me. And it is finally time that I repay that favor.
00:39:22 So, to the future of Latour, we are expecting great things from Miss Duval at her upcoming photoshoot in Seattle.
00:39:31 [Claire's phone rings]
00:39:33 When I asked you to move in, I never pictured you in the kitchen. It's quite a sight.
00:39:42 You're not supposed to be home for another hour. I was going to clean up.
00:39:45 Where's the staff?
00:39:47 I gave them the night off so they could celebrate my gig.
00:39:50 Okay, what did you roll back?
00:39:52 The oven. I totally forgot about the steaks.
00:39:56 [Claire's phone rings]
00:39:58 I like it that way. If a waiter asked me how I wanted it, I would say that. That looks good.
00:40:07 But it's not great.
00:40:09 Okay, take out it is.
00:40:11 First.
00:40:14 [Claire's phone rings]
00:40:18 [Music]
00:40:38 I always wondered what it would be like to come home to someone at the end of the night.
00:40:43 And?
00:40:45 [Music]
00:41:14 [Music]
00:41:43 [Music]
00:41:45 [Music]
00:41:51 [Music]
00:42:21 [Music]
00:42:22 So, were you ever going to tell me why you had to get married?
00:42:25 It's not a very romantic story.
00:42:27 And mine is. I think we're past that.
00:42:30 Cross men throughout history have always been adventurers. Some might even say rogues.
00:42:37 There were quite a few rapes. More than a few duels.
00:42:41 Why, sir, how scandalous. I'm most assuredly intrigued.
00:42:46 A lot of them died really young. Nowhere. The crosses were literally dying off.
00:42:53 So, a codicil was added that required all cross men to be married by the time they were 30, or they'd lose their inheritance.
00:43:01 Seriously?
00:43:02 Seriously. I turned 30.
00:43:05 On that day? That was your birthday. You didn't even celebrate.
00:43:13 Today? What's the matter with me?
00:43:17 [Music]
00:43:27 [Music]
00:43:30 [Music]
00:43:43 Christian! My dear, how is your evening going so far?
00:43:49 Yeah, good so far. Thank you for inviting me.
00:43:51 Of course! And your ventures? Tell me about your most recent acquisition.
00:43:56 Silicon Valley started with a promising artificial intelligence. I think it could be a game changer.
00:44:03 Speaking of change, have you found anyone special?
00:44:07 Not yet. Still searching.
00:44:10 Well, then you must meet my granddaughter Claire. There she is.
00:44:16 [Music]
00:44:22 There she is. You need to stay here and do your part, young lady.
00:44:28 From now on, I'll forge my own path and make my own name.
00:44:34 Do not test me, Ms. Winthrop.
00:44:37 [Music]
00:44:47 Throwing away a billion dollar trust fund for a whimsical game of independence.
00:44:54 Don't you worry. I'll bring her to heel.
00:44:57 Don't bother. I have no interest in a bride who's been coerced into using artificial intelligence.
00:45:02 I think it could be a game changer.
00:45:04 Speaking of change, have you found anyone special?
00:45:08 Not yet. Still searching.
00:45:11 Well, then you must meet my granddaughter Claire. There she is.
00:45:17 [Music]
00:45:24 There she is. You need to stay here and do your part, young lady.
00:45:29 From now on, I'll forge my own path and make my own name.
00:45:33 [Music]
00:45:36 Do not test me, Ms. Winthrop.
00:45:38 [Music]
00:45:49 Throwing away a billion dollar trust fund for a whimsical game of independence.
00:45:56 Don't you worry. I'll bring her to heel.
00:45:59 Don't bother. I have no interest in a bride who's been coerced...
00:46:03 [Music]
00:46:10 Hey. You're so beautiful.
00:46:15 Hey, stop it.
00:46:20 Is it real for me?
00:46:23 Promise I won't forget that.
00:46:26 I promise.
00:46:28 [Music]
00:46:47 Our meeting's a pinnacle for them to run a thought.
00:46:49 When you're done here, I'll send a car. I'll take you to some other city.
00:46:52 I can't wait.
00:46:54 Anais Adler is one of the most famous fashion photographers in the world.
00:46:58 Christian, what if I freeze up or stumble or choke or something?
00:47:01 You'll be spectacular. Because you are spectacular.
00:47:06 Okay?
00:47:08 [Music]
00:47:22 A private plane, limousine to the shoot, and a hunky mogul waiting for you afterward?
00:47:27 Sign me up.
00:47:29 These last five years, I've had such bad luck.
00:47:32 But since Christian came into my life, I think my luck has finally changed.
00:47:43 No one deserves it more than you do, Claire.
00:47:45 Now let's get in there and blow them all away.
00:47:57 I'm with you today.
00:48:00 Claire's my girl. I've got this.
00:48:02 I think, Miss Bauer, that we got off on the wrong foot.
00:48:06 I think you're an excellent manager.
00:48:08 And under normal circumstances, Mr. Bauer would be in great hands.
00:48:12 But?
00:48:14 There are dark forces at play.
00:48:16 Claire's going to need all the help she can get.
00:48:19 Truce?
00:48:21 For Claire.
00:48:23 Truce.
00:48:28 Claire, this is a first date.
00:48:32 You're so noble and sweet.
00:48:34 Of course, you may be the one.
00:48:36 No?
00:48:37 So, what necklace do you wear?
00:48:39 Ah, s'il vous plaĂźt.
00:48:41 That one?
00:48:47 Oh, incredible. Oui, oui.
00:48:51 Oh, yes. Your eyes have so much hope and strength.
00:48:57 Oui.
00:48:59 Claire, come, rest.
00:49:01 The male model needs you here any moment.
00:49:04 So, whoever they sent can match your looks and your talent.
00:49:09 It is tragic. We never worked together before.
00:49:12 This is yours.
00:49:14 Thank you. You're great.
00:49:18 It's happening. It's finally happening.
00:49:24 Dylan, you scared me. What are you doing here?
00:49:26 Last time that I checked, we were still engaged.
00:49:29 So, I have every right to see my fiancé?
00:49:32 You lost that right when you slept with Ava.
00:49:35 That was a one-time thing.
00:49:37 And it didn't mean anything at all.
00:49:39 But we could have moved past it if you would have just returned my calls.
00:49:44 Come on. Don't be like this to me.
00:49:47 Not after everything I've done for you.
00:49:50 Done for me?
00:49:52 You weren't just a crappy boyfriend, Dylan.
00:49:54 You were a crappy agent, too.
00:49:56 I don't know how you tricked Latour into giving you this gig.
00:50:00 But you're making a fool of yourself.
00:50:03 The days of pretending to be a model, they're over, Claire.
00:50:07 All right, you're coming home with me. Right now.
00:50:10 We'll get married in Vegas on our way back.
00:50:13 No. We're over.
00:50:16 We've been over for a long time, Dylan.
00:50:19 What do you mean?
00:50:20 We've been over for a long time.
00:50:23 Leave.
00:50:27 You're hurting me.
00:50:28 I haven't even begun to hurt you.
00:50:30 You know my biggest mistake was being too gentle with you.
00:50:34 You know that model that's supposed to show up today?
00:50:37 He's not coming.
00:50:39 Your biggest break is about to be your worst nightmare.
00:50:43 Nobody will show up for you after your little drama today ruins this shoot.
00:50:49 What? You think you're too good for me, Claire? Huh?
00:50:52 You will never escape from me.
00:50:54 Eric, no!
00:50:55 Hey, you need to leave. Now.
00:50:57 I'm going.
00:51:00 I'll see you soon, Claire Bear.
00:51:04 Are you okay?
00:51:07 No.
00:51:09 Dylan canceled the male model.
00:51:11 No one's coming.
00:51:12 When Latour finds out, I'm ruined.
00:51:17 There's no time to fix this.
00:51:19 You thinking what I'm thinking?
00:51:26 Hey.
00:51:28 How quick can you get to the studio?
00:51:31 Year one foot traffic. What are we projecting?
00:51:33 Fifteen million. Conservatively.
00:51:35 And if we surpass that?
00:51:37 Ten percent bones to core. Straight up.
00:51:48 Let's make history together.
00:51:53 Excuse me.
00:51:54 How quick can you get to the studio?
00:51:58 Hello, Vincent.
00:52:00 This is catastrophe.
00:52:02 My time, it does not extend eternal.
00:52:04 No.
00:52:05 Where is the lover to complete the true love piece de resistance? Huh?
00:52:10 Annie, he's just... I know. I am sorry.
00:52:13 We are scrambling to find somebody.
00:52:15 But nothing is looking good.
00:52:17 This Claire Duval, I am telling you, disaster just follows this chick wherever she goes.
00:52:36 Crisis averted.
00:52:38 The lover is here.
00:52:42 And we'll do what a lover he is.
00:52:47 Thank you for doing this.
00:52:49 He touch you?
00:52:51 Maxwell will pay for this.
00:52:53 If he touches my wife.
00:52:58 Quick, quick. Get the lover in costume.
00:53:01 Please.
00:53:05 Excuse me, Miss Adler.
00:53:06 Let's try not to show his face.
00:53:08 Mr. Kress really values his privacy.
00:53:10 And here for you and the cruise side.
00:53:12 Thank you so much.
00:53:14 Now, this is the grand gesture.
00:53:18 The moment of the two of us.
00:53:21 The height of love romance.
00:53:23 Voila.
00:53:24 There he is, Claire.
00:53:25 Down on one knee.
00:53:27 Ring in hand.
00:53:28 Cushion in his eyes.
00:53:34 And you, your heart says, "We've only lived."
00:53:38 This is the dream country.
00:53:41 True romance.
00:53:43 Nice.
00:53:56 Christian Cross.
00:53:59 I'll be damned.
00:54:01 The bond it has, a mutual deep.
00:54:05 See?
00:54:08 No matter what life threw at you, it cannot tear you apart.
00:54:16 Look into each other's eyes and whisper.
00:54:21 Hey, wifey.
00:54:23 Hey, honey.
00:54:26 This campaign is going to be a massive hit.
00:54:33 Hey, fam.
00:54:34 It's Richie here.
00:54:35 So, buckle up, because this week, oh boy, oh boy, we have the drama for the Battle Royale of the Supermodels.
00:54:42 First up, let's look at the creme de la creme of the nominees.
00:54:45 Of course, top of the list is our reigning queen, Ava B.
00:54:49 But hold up, girlfriend, because guess what?
00:54:51 We have a stunning newcomer in Claire D.
00:54:55 And we all know how she's skyrocketed to fame.
00:54:57 Of course, by what?
00:54:59 Drum roll, please.
00:55:01 Yep, that's right, the Latour True Love Campaign.
00:55:04 Shot by the one and only AnaĂŻs Adler.
00:55:07 Claire Duhas.
00:55:09 She transcends male beauty.
00:55:11 Je ne sais quoi.
00:55:13 A soulful essence in her eyes.
00:55:16 C'est magnifique.
00:55:18 That's right, the Latour True Love Campaign.
00:55:22 Ladies and gentlemen, fams, Clarity is literally the personification of grace.
00:55:26 And the chemistry in this shoot, oh my God.
00:55:30 It was off, off, off, off the chain.
00:55:32 And who on earth is the stunning, fitless model with that sexy back?
00:55:37 Ooh, yum, yum, yum.
00:55:39 Oh, I just want, I need so much more.
00:55:42 I have literally been emailing Mr. Vincent Latour daily, trying to get the big reveal.
00:55:47 Ahem.
00:55:48 Dear Mr. Vincent Latour, dear he, dear he, you are the worst.
00:55:52 I cannot stand you and you are killing me with the suspense.
00:55:55 Sincerely, Richard.
00:55:57 The couple embodies the timeless quality of true love.
00:56:01 And we are honored and proud of the positive feedback that this campaign has generated.
00:56:07 Now, of course, we all know Mr. Vincent Latour is going to make so much mucho dinero off this campaign.
00:56:14 But friends, fams, we are only one week away from the Battle Royale, the top model competition.
00:56:22 And guess what? Mr. Vincent Latour is going to be a judge.
00:56:25 So, I might just have to float on over to him and ask him in person who this sexy back is.
00:56:31 Because guess what, fans?
00:56:33 That's right.
00:56:35 George Truly has been tapped by the network to host the top model competition.
00:56:41 Oh my God.
00:56:43 Oh, you like me.
00:56:45 You really do like me.
00:56:46 You really like me.
00:56:48 Oh, I love you too, Richard.
00:56:50 I love you too.
00:56:53 Who the fuck is this guy?
00:56:57 I did everything in my power to make sure the male model would not show up so Claire would fall on her face.
00:57:01 She always just lands on her feet.
00:57:04 Looks like she's landing more than just on her feet.
00:57:10 On a kitchen counter.
00:57:12 In a hallway.
00:57:14 On the stairs.
00:57:16 Against a shower wall.
00:57:18 Ava, get your mind off the gutter.
00:57:20 That's not what you were telling me last night.
00:57:22 We're talking about Claire here. She's not like you.
00:57:27 Okay.
00:57:28 Claire, she's such a saint.
00:57:30 The Vestal Virgin.
00:57:32 If she's so special, then why didn't you knock her up instead?
00:57:37 Oh wait, I know why.
00:57:39 Because Claire didn't like you that much.
00:57:42 And now that she's with a guy that she actually likes, you can't handle it, can you?
00:57:48 I don't think so.
00:57:51 I'm not some meek bitch that's gonna stand for your shit.
00:57:55 I am the only one that's gonna make sure that Claire doesn't win top model from inside the competition.
00:58:00 Don't get too full of yourself, Ava.
00:58:02 You're not the only one.
00:58:04 Who else do you have in your pocket?
00:58:06 What aren't you telling me?
00:58:08 Just stick to your plan to sabotage Claire.
00:58:11 I'll handle mine.
00:58:13 Fine.
00:58:14 You keep your secrets.
00:58:16 I'll keep mine.
00:58:18 We need to meet.
00:58:25 It's too dangerous.
00:58:27 The usual spot.
00:58:29 Room 201? I'll be there.
00:58:32 Hey, no peeking. Just like a little kid.
00:58:39 It's a surprise. Just a few more steps.
00:58:44 Shouldn't you be swamped with work?
00:58:46 Work can wait. You are my priority.
00:58:50 You need the perfect armor for combat.
00:59:02 That's such a guy thing to say.
00:59:05 It's a modeling competition, not war.
00:59:07 Make no mistake, Claire. It is war.
00:59:10 And I'll be there for you.
00:59:13 Oh, did I forget to mention Pinnacle is the network televising the event?
00:59:17 You definitely did not mention that, no.
00:59:21 I'm your wife, Claire. I wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:59:25 You should choose your words more carefully.
00:59:39 I don't take well to threats.
00:59:41 You should have thought about that before you failed so miserably.
00:59:46 Let's not forget, I own you.
00:59:50 I'll admit, Claire being nominated to top model does put an unexpected wrinkle in your...
00:59:58 Choose your words more carefully.
01:00:03 I don't take well to threats.
01:00:05 You should have thought about that before you failed so miserably.
01:00:09 Let's not forget, I own you.
01:00:14 I'll admit, Claire being nominated to top model does put an unexpected wrinkle in your...
01:00:21 Winkle? You were supposed to end this modeling nonsense, not lump her into the stratosphere.
01:00:27 Your granddaughter hasn't won yet.
01:00:29 And if you play your part, Claire will walk down that runway and crash and burn.
01:00:41 Start talking.
01:00:43 Here's what we do.
01:00:46 I cannot wait to knock off that old battleaxe.
01:00:57 I will fall in the shower.
01:01:00 A mix of medication and...
01:01:03 Alright, focus, Dylan.
01:01:05 That will happen after you marry Claire.
01:01:09 Now, I need you to go visit Bruno Lundy.
01:01:12 Make sure he knows he won't be a judge this year.
01:01:16 Convince him it's worth his while.
01:01:19 And that old bat? You think she's up for it?
01:01:22 She'll do it.
01:01:24 Grace Winthrop has controlled that family for 50 years.
01:01:31 No one has even stood up to her, except Claire.
01:01:36 She doesn't just want Claire back in the fold.
01:01:39 She wants Claire under her thumb.
01:01:44 Just hold tight, Gavin. I'll let you know after I speak with Claire.
01:01:54 Morning, hubby.
01:01:56 I need you to sit down.
01:02:00 What's wrong, Christian? You're scaring me.
01:02:03 The head of production at Pinnacle noticed a judge change in the competition.
01:02:07 It really needs you to see this, Claire.
01:02:10 Your grandmother's going to be one of the judges.
01:02:12 What? That's not possible.
01:02:16 She would never... There's been a mistake. She despises modeling.
01:02:19 She hates that I became one.
01:02:22 Why would she do this?
01:02:25 My own grandmother is going to vote against me.
01:02:38 I can't escape her.
01:02:40 This isn't the first time your grandmother's tried to destroy your career, Claire.
01:02:45 I had investigators looking at Dylan and Miranda.
01:02:48 What do they have to do with this?
01:02:50 Two years ago, Maxwell Holdings was on the verge of bankruptcy
01:02:53 from a series of bad investments and poorly timed expansions.
01:02:57 Muse and all of its subsidiaries were on the chopping block.
01:03:01 Then they received an influx of cash from a new silent partner.
01:03:06 Winthrop Limited?
01:03:08 Yes.
01:03:09 It turns the table that Dylan and Miranda would do everything in their power
01:03:13 to derail the future of a promising young model.
01:03:17 You, Claire.
01:03:20 So all the rumors that I was on drugs, incompetent, unstable...
01:03:26 My own grandmother was behind all of it.
01:03:28 You were more stubborn than they calculated.
01:03:31 You never gave up, Claire.
01:03:33 I saw her manage everyone in my family.
01:03:36 My own parents were like sycophantic puppets in her grasp.
01:03:39 But I never thought she'd go to such lengths to control me.
01:03:43 It's like she doesn't see me as a real person, with needs and fears and dreams.
01:03:48 It's her loss, Claire.
01:03:51 I wonder if marrying Dylan was a part of her plan.
01:03:55 I mean, she's tried to marry me off before.
01:03:58 Then you must meet my granddaughter, Claire.
01:04:02 There she is.
01:04:04 Okay, about that.
01:04:12 About that?
01:04:13 As if I'd marry someone she chose.
01:04:16 Have you found anyone special?
01:04:19 Then you must meet my granddaughter, Claire.
01:04:23 I don't believe that your grandmother would consider Dylan for you.
01:04:28 That is Miranda Maxwell written all over it.
01:04:31 Your grandmother never technically disinherited you.
01:04:34 As her sole surviving heir, Dylan stood to come into billions after marrying you.
01:04:38 Yeah, but my grandmother's still alive.
01:04:41 Yes, there is that.
01:04:44 I just want a fair competition, where I win or lose on my own merits.
01:04:51 Not because the deck is stacked against me.
01:04:54 Your grandmother's just one judge.
01:04:57 There's three others.
01:04:59 Hey, sexy.
01:05:08 [music]
01:05:10 Claire, one more.
01:05:23 One more, one more, one more.
01:05:24 Claire, right here.
01:05:25 Claire, who's taking home the top model title tonight?
01:05:27 You or Ava Bennett?
01:05:29 Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
01:05:31 There are ten models in this competition who got here through hard work and talent.
01:05:35 This is a night to celebrate all of us.
01:05:37 A time to honor...
01:05:39 I can't escape her.
01:05:46 This isn't the first time your grandmother's tried to destroy your career.
01:05:50 That's all, folks.
01:05:52 Miss Vaughn has a big night ahead of her. Thank you.
01:05:54 Claire, how do you know Christian Grant?
01:05:57 I think I'm going to be sick.
01:06:01 I didn't expect it to be that hard, seeing her like this.
01:06:04 Hang tight, Claire.
01:06:06 Gavin, help her. I'll go get her wet towel.
01:06:08 Do you want a water or something?
01:06:11 Yes, thank you.
01:06:12 Try to relax.
01:06:16 Hey, how are you doing?
01:06:21 I think I'm going to be sick.
01:06:25 I didn't expect it to be that hard, seeing her like this.
01:06:28 Hang tight, Claire.
01:06:30 Gavin, help her. I'll go get her wet towel.
01:06:33 Do you want a water or something?
01:06:34 Yes, thank you.
01:06:35 Try to relax.
01:06:39 Check and see if anyone's inside, Simon.
01:06:52 Check and see if anyone's inside, Simon.
01:06:54 Alright, hostess, wait.
01:07:05 I've got to be back at the judges' table in five minutes, so we've got to be quick.
01:07:09 Then shut up and get busy.
01:07:12 Gross! Yuck! Not again!
01:07:19 Hey, you saucy mace, you're killing me.
01:07:22 Show me sexy.
01:07:23 The belly of yours is also yummy.
01:07:27 Holy shit! No freaking way!
01:07:48 Hey, Christian.
01:07:49 You wouldn't believe what Ava's been up to.
01:07:54 Lesson A?
01:07:55 Not now. I don't want to distract Claire, but why do bombshell?
01:08:01 I can barely contain my excitement.
01:08:04 Where are you sitting?
01:08:08 Behind the judges, first row.
01:08:11 Hey, why is she? You alright?
01:08:14 Sure, hubby. The last remaining member of my family is here to ruin me.
01:08:18 But I'm doing awesome.
01:08:20 Breathe, Claire. You got this.
01:08:23 If it gets to be too much, just find me in the crowd.
01:08:27 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 23rd Top Model Competition,
01:08:36 powered by AliExpress, where fashion meets savvy budget.
01:08:41 Find the perfect outfit for you and your evening set.
01:08:46 Now, let's get to the giants of fashion and glamour,
01:08:49 who will be judging tonight's Super Model Finals.
01:08:52 First, in the world of jewelry, the legend whose styles adorn the stars,
01:08:58 Vincent Lachule.
01:09:00 Next, he is the visionary behind so many iconic faces in the industry,
01:09:08 Simon Blackwell of Blackwell Modeling Town.
01:09:12 Our third judge is Kiko Watanabe, actress extraordinaire under the Philicol Network banner.
01:09:19 And last, and by no means least, she is our substitute judge,
01:09:23 who stepped in for Bruno Lundy after his unfortunate fall down a staircase.
01:09:28 Our prayers are with you, Bruno, as you get through this coma.
01:09:31 The one, the only, Grace Winthrop of Winthrop Limited.
01:09:36 This is it, the seven-generation dynasty of department stores.
01:09:41 Fuck it in, mama. We're almost there.
01:09:54 It makes me feel like a spider.
01:09:56 A masterpiece.
01:09:59 Not yet. We have other plans tonight, remember?
01:10:03 [music]
01:10:07 Leave it to me, your highness. Your baby's got you.
01:10:11 [music]
01:10:21 What are you doing?
01:10:23 Brute. I've been down to pick up my name tag.
01:10:26 Are you security or shall I call security?
01:10:29 Just get out of here.
01:10:31 [music]
01:10:34 Move. Move!
01:10:36 May the best bitch win, bitch.
01:10:40 Don't listen to her.
01:10:43 Next up is Ava Bennett, our reigning top contestant for the past three years.
01:10:50 She slays harder than Santa, so watch out for those reindeer.
01:10:53 [music]
01:10:59 [music]
01:11:27 Break a leg, Claire Bear.
01:11:29 Move, dog. Get in your house.
01:11:32 Next up is Claire Duval, whose meteoric rise in the industry has caught everyone off guard.
01:11:37 Go to you.
01:11:39 Next up is Claire Duval, whose meteoric rise in the industry has caught everyone off guard.
01:11:46 [music]
01:11:58 [gasp]
01:12:00 [music]
01:12:24 Come on, my love. Rise up and show them who you are.
01:12:27 [music]
01:12:40 Your girl's career imploded before it even took off.
01:12:43 You're making a fool of yourself.
01:12:45 The days of pretending to be a model, they're over, Claire.
01:12:50 Ava is our top billing model.
01:12:52 And you, Claire.
01:12:55 And that really took off.
01:12:57 You've lost everything.
01:12:59 And you just don't know it yet.
01:13:01 [music]
01:13:04 Come on, my love. Rise up and show them who you are.
01:13:07 [music]
01:13:09 From now on, I'll forge my own path and make my own name.
01:13:13 [music]
01:13:15 I will forge my own path and make my own name.
01:13:18 [music]
01:13:20 [ding]
01:13:22 [music]
01:13:28 [cough]
01:13:30 [cough]
01:13:32 [music]
01:13:37 [ding]
01:13:39 [music]
01:14:01 [applause]
01:14:11 [music]
01:14:14 [applause]
01:14:22 [scream]
01:14:24 [music]
01:14:28 [scream]
01:14:30 Get off me!
01:14:32 [music]
01:14:34 [applause]
01:14:40 Way to go, Claire. You flake.
01:14:42 [applause]
01:14:53 [ding]
01:14:54 [applause]
01:14:59 And now the moment you've all been waiting for.
01:15:04 Oh my god.
01:15:06 Folks, we just had a glitch in the Matrix.
01:15:08 Something that has never happened in the 23 years of top model competition.
01:15:13 A tie between Ava Bennett and Claire Duvall.
01:15:15 [music]
01:15:23 What? Seriously?
01:15:25 Clearly, Mator has something going on with Claire.
01:15:28 Really, Ava? Because last I checked, you and George Simon Blackwell have been getting a little too cozy and...
01:15:35 Whoops! There's a mini Blackwell on the way.
01:15:38 Yep, he's expecting his baby.
01:15:41 His baby? No, that's my baby.
01:15:44 [music]
01:15:46 Hey, easy. Relax, man. Relax. Relax.
01:15:49 [music]
01:15:53 Get rid of both of you.
01:15:54 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's not turn this into a daytime drama, okay, people?
01:15:58 We are here to crown a winner, which means we need a decisive vote.
01:16:02 Top model competition rules state that in the event of a tie, we will have an independent third party determine who has won.
01:16:09 So, we are now bringing out the big guns.
01:16:11 Christian Cross, CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment, you're up, sir.
01:16:15 [music]
01:16:22 [ding]
01:16:24 Mr. Cross, we're now cast for tie-breaking votes.
01:16:29 So, who will be the 23rd winner of the top model competition?
01:16:33 [music]
01:16:38 There's only one person who embodies the grace, character, and beauty of a top model.
01:16:46 And that is Claire Duval.
01:16:48 [applause]
01:16:57 But I have a conflict of interest because Claire Duval is not just a top model contestant.
01:17:05 She's also my wife, Claire Duval Cross.
01:17:09 [music]
01:17:21 Seriously? This is so unfair. Of course she gets it, then all I have is...
01:17:26 [music]
01:17:36 She was sleeping with him while she was with me. How dare she?
01:17:38 Clue in, Dylan. We need to do damage control. Grace Winthrop could pull our whole lung after this. We could lose everything.
01:17:45 Detective, he's still right here.
01:17:47 What?
01:17:48 Miranda Maxwell, Dylan Maxwell, you're both under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder.
01:17:52 No, this is a mistake.
01:17:54 Get your hands off me.
01:17:56 Totally epic.
01:17:58 [music]
01:18:03 Nicely done, my boy.
01:18:05 What are you talking about?
01:18:08 Are you going to tell her, Christian, or am I?
01:18:11 Tell me what?
01:18:13 See that man there? The one that's standing next to you? The one you wed? He was my choice for you.
01:18:20 I set you up with him five years ago.
01:18:25 To thank Claire all those years of defying me, and you ended up exactly where I wanted you.
01:18:35 [laughs]
01:18:39 Is this true?
01:18:43 Yes.
01:18:45 That day outside the courthouse, there wasn't a setup.
01:18:49 Then why hide the connection to my grandmother? Why the lies?
01:18:52 Because I knew how bad it looked, especially after Maxwell tried to use you.
01:18:56 How can I believe you?
01:18:58 Because we're meant to be together.
01:19:02 Because we're meant to be together.
01:19:06 I've never seen a model come on the stage like you did with him.
01:19:09 You're a nobody.
01:19:11 You're not a nobody.
01:19:13 Don't take your eyes off of him.
01:19:15 Don't take your eyes off of you.
01:19:22 These last five years, I've had such bad luck.
01:19:25 But since Christian came into my life, I think my luck has finally changed.
01:19:41 This is real for me. I promise you'll never forget that.
01:19:46 I promise.
01:19:50 I promise.
01:19:55 Whatever it is, fate, luck, whatever you want to call it, Christian, I'm all in.
01:20:02 [applause]
01:20:09 I'm going to wash my hands of both of you.
01:20:23 Are you ready to meet my family?
01:20:29 Hey, fans. Reggie here.
01:20:31 Big love to Bruno Lundy, who is recovering from his coma.
01:20:34 This is nuts! Bruno just got out of his coma!
01:20:37 How can he remember his name? He can't even remember mine!
01:20:40 Shut up, Dylan. Shut up, Dylan!
01:20:43 Shut up, Dylan! I want my lawyer! Now!
01:20:47 Meanwhile, Ava B. has quit modeling to focus on becoming a full-time mother.
01:20:51 [laughs]
01:20:52 You can even see that little straight face.
01:20:54 We all know what you've done for money, don't we?
01:20:57 [baby crying]
01:20:58 Shut up, Katie!
01:21:01 Now, let's get to the real big news.

01:21:12 I'm so excited!
