00:00:00My name is Claire Duvall.
00:00:02My fiancé betrayed me with a woman who I thought was a friend.
00:00:06Dylan, where are you?
00:00:08Ava really needs me.
00:00:10I'm ready to move forward.
00:00:13Mr. Cross, you need a wife and I need revenge.
00:00:17We should get married.
00:00:19The days of pretending to be a model, they're over, Claire.
00:00:23You've lost everything.
00:00:26You just don't know it yet.
00:00:28You're not a nobody.
00:00:30Nobody took their eyes off of you.
00:00:32You don't have to say that just because we're married.
00:00:36Claire cannot succeed.
00:00:38Perfect.
00:00:40Maxwell will pay for this.
00:00:42He retouches my wife.
00:00:44Since Christian came into my life, I think my luck has finally changed.
00:00:48So, who will be the 23rd winner of the Top Model Competition?
00:01:00Claire Bear, my love for you, it transcends words.
00:01:11You're my forever.
00:01:14Will you marry me?
00:01:17Yes.
00:01:25Okay, wait. You guys look so good. I need a photo.
00:01:28One, two, three.
00:01:31Lucky bitch.
00:01:32To Claire!
00:01:33And Dylan!
00:01:36Drink more, baby.
00:01:44So, you proposed to that bitch, huh?
00:01:48You're so fucking sexy.
00:01:50I want you now, Dylan.
00:01:53Hey, hey, hey.
00:01:54What are you doing? She's right there.
00:01:56Don't worry about her.
00:01:57I said there was something.
00:01:59She won't know.
00:02:20You've lost everything.
00:02:22And you just don't know it yet.
00:02:28I'm pregnant with Dylan's child.
00:02:31He won't show up tomorrow.
00:02:33Rise and shine!
00:02:37Go away. No can do.
00:02:40What happened here after I left?
00:02:42Zoe, I had the most awful dream last night.
00:02:44No more wedding jitters. You can't be late to your big date.
00:02:47That's bad luck.
00:02:48Speaking of luck, I brought you something new.
00:02:53It's beautiful.
00:02:55It's beautiful. Thank you.
00:02:57I hope you didn't spend too much.
00:02:59Never do.
00:03:00L.E. Express, baby.
00:03:01Things you love don't need to break the bank.
00:03:03Come on.
00:03:04You're getting married!
00:03:06Let's go.
00:03:10Is it really a dream?
00:03:14Dylan, where are you?
00:03:16Hey, I'm at the hospital.
00:03:19Are you okay? What happened?
00:03:21No, I'm fine.
00:03:22No, I'm fine.
00:03:23It's Ava. She fainted.
00:03:26Yeah, the doctors are running tests.
00:03:28I'm with her now.
00:03:29So I'm not going to be able to marry you today.
00:03:33He won't show up tomorrow.
00:03:35Just you wait.
00:03:39He's mine.
00:03:44I'm with her now.
00:03:45So I'm not going to be able to marry you today.
00:03:48I know. I'm sorry.
00:03:50I wanted to be there, but Ava really needs me.
00:03:53Come on, Claire Bear. You know I love you.
00:03:56Hey, I gotta go.
00:04:05Get off.
00:04:06I can't get enough of you.
00:04:14It wasn't a dream.
00:04:18It's real.
00:04:21It's all real.
00:04:36Christian, your fiancee refuses to sign the prenup and now she won't answer her phone.
00:04:40She stalled until the wedding day.
00:04:43This is blackmail. Cut her loose.
00:04:45That's Christian Cross, the CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment.
00:04:51Christian, your father...
00:04:53He doesn't care who I marry as long as it gets done today.
00:04:56Find me another girl.
00:04:58I've got an hour.
00:05:00I must be crazy to even consider this.
00:05:03Mr. Cross?
00:05:15I have a proposition for you.
00:05:21My name is Claire Duvall.
00:05:23My fiancee betrayed me with the woman who I thought was a friend.
00:05:27Okay.
00:05:29How is it I can help you, Ms. Duvall?
00:05:31Actually, it's how we can help each other.
00:05:34You need a wife and I need revenge.
00:05:37We should get married.
00:05:40Gavin?
00:05:41Already on it. Claire Duvall, 25.
00:05:45Gavin?
00:05:46Already on it. Claire Duvall, 25.
00:05:49No criminal record. Model with Newstown Agency and unmarried.
00:05:59Deal.
00:06:04Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Cross.
00:06:15So, thank you for doing this.
00:06:18If it's all the same to you, I'd like to keep this...
00:06:22arrangement a secret for now.
00:06:25I need my fiancee, ex-fiancee,
00:06:28to find out about us in the right way, at just the right moment.
00:06:33I'll give you six months to plot an exact date.
00:06:36I'll give you six months to plot an exact date.
00:06:39I'll give you six months to plot an exact date.
00:06:42I'll give you six months to plot an exact date.
00:06:44I'll give you six months to plot an exact year of age.
00:06:46After that, our marriage announcement will be released to the press.
00:06:49Fair enough.
00:06:51One more thing.
00:06:53I need this marriage to appear as real as possible.
00:06:56That means living under the same roof.
00:06:59Oh.
00:07:00I have a very loyal, discreet staff that will keep our secret a secret.
00:07:05Every need will be met.
00:07:07I can live with that.
00:07:09Gavin will be in touch.
00:07:15That Miss Duval, she's, um, she's something.
00:07:19Don't you mean Mrs. Cross?
00:07:21Right.
00:07:22I just mean...
00:07:24You didn't even mention the prenup.
00:07:26Am I missing something?
00:07:27More than you can fathom.
00:07:29I want you to keep a close eye on my wife.
00:07:32Consider it done, boss.
00:07:45Okay, she's walking in right now.
00:07:47I gotta go.
00:07:49Hey.
00:07:50Hey, thank God you're here.
00:07:52Ava was supposed to walk into the tour show later today.
00:07:55I need you to pretend to be her.
00:07:58You promised me last time I wouldn't have to do that again, Dylan.
00:08:01My company cannot afford to lose this commission.
00:08:04If you love me, you'll do this.
00:08:10I guess you leave me with no choice.
00:08:13I'll do it.
00:08:16I'm sorry everything got so screwed up yesterday.
00:08:19We'll get married soon.
00:08:22I promise.
00:08:24You don't know just how sorry you're gonna be.
00:08:28Welcome to the Vincent Latour Jewelry Showcase
00:08:31with fashion outfits provided by AliExpress.
00:08:43I'm going to be sick.
00:08:44What a two-timing bastard.
00:08:46Ava, bastard.
00:08:47Bitch.
00:08:48I know.
00:08:49Guard this with your life.
00:08:51Sad as it is.
00:08:52Piss off, Felix, you insufferable parasite.
00:08:55At least Ava's set to win the top model competition.
00:08:57Third year in a row.
00:08:59Your girl's career imploded before it even took off.
00:09:01Uh, standing right here.
00:09:04Hurry, put on your mask.
00:09:05That's the designer.
00:09:06He can never know you're not Ava.
00:09:14Silly, what are you doing?
00:09:16I'm grabbing your model gifting and we're out of here.
00:09:18You're not covering up for Ava again.
00:09:20Especially after what she did to you.
00:09:22Actually, I have a plan.
00:09:25Hand me the bracelet.
00:09:28Modeling our next piece in the Trula collection
00:09:31is Ava Bennett.
00:09:35Behold the Juliet bracelet.
00:09:38Crafted with 36 exquisite emeralds
00:09:41and 15 flawless diamonds,
00:09:43this 22-carat wonder
00:09:45graces the wrist of our radiant Miss Ava Bennett.
00:09:53Wow, incredible.
00:09:54Oh my gosh.
00:09:55What is that?
00:09:56I don't do anklets.
00:09:57I hate anklets.
00:10:03Ooh, I'm a genius.
00:10:05I love it.
00:10:06I want one.
00:10:08Oh, perhaps I could envision an anklet or two in my line.
00:10:15Your girl just came up.
00:10:16You should get in here.
00:10:18Well, hello.
00:10:20That is not Ava Bennett.
00:10:22She does not possess fabulous legs like that.
00:10:25What is she up to?
00:10:27Who's under the mask?
00:10:30Mask up!
00:10:31Mask up! Mask up! Mask up!
00:10:35Mask up!
00:10:36Mask up!
00:10:37Mask up!
00:10:38Mask up!
00:10:39Mask up!
00:10:40Mask up!
00:10:41Well, let's all see what we're hiding here.
00:10:52Where did you come from?
00:10:55That's clear to all.
00:10:57A nobody and now a thief.
00:11:00How dare you steal Ava Bennett's place.
00:11:02That's a lie.
00:11:06You don't want to do that.
00:11:09Mr. Cross, we were not expecting you to come this evening.
00:11:13Well, it's a good thing I did.
00:11:18You all right?
00:11:20I am now.
00:11:26John Fairchild, Glamour Magazine.
00:11:28Does this mark your first return to the runway?
00:11:30How do you know the CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment, Christian Cross?
00:11:33Is there bad blood between you and Ava B?
00:11:35No comment.
00:11:45Need a ride?
00:11:52Well, that was exciting.
00:11:55Sorry to get you mixed up in all this.
00:11:57That's what husbands are for.
00:11:59You want to tell me what's going on back there?
00:12:03I did it on purpose.
00:12:05Put the bracelet on my ankle.
00:12:07The biggest difference between Ava and I is our legs.
00:12:10I wanted to get caught.
00:12:15I wanted to get caught.
00:12:17And you did so spectacularly.
00:12:20I've never seen a model command the stage like you did up there.
00:12:23For a nobody.
00:12:25You're not a nobody.
00:12:27Nobody would take their eyes off of you.
00:12:29You don't have to say that just because we're married.
00:12:32I know my modeling track record has been pathetic at best.
00:12:37Why is that?
00:12:39From where I'm sitting, you have everything you need to be a top model.
00:12:42I don't know. Just unlucky or something.
00:12:45Or something.
00:12:52I think I'm going to be sick.
00:12:54I can't deal with more reporters tonight.
00:12:56You can go back to my place.
00:12:58It's your call.
00:13:03Let's do it.
00:13:05This night can't get any crazier.
00:13:07Oh, I've got to get this.
00:13:09Hey.
00:13:11It's not good.
00:13:13Ava just gave an interview.
00:13:16It's not looking good.
00:13:18Ava just gave an interview.
00:13:20She told the reporters that she did not ask you to step in.
00:13:23She said that nobody can model AliExpress and Ventilator like she does.
00:13:28And in fact, she said that you deliberately pushed her.
00:13:31And that's how she got hurt.
00:13:33Wow. So I've been bumped from stealing her spot to bodily assault?
00:13:38She's one step ahead of us.
00:13:40Not for long.
00:13:42Ava's going to want to revel in this victory, and she has a thing for bathrooms, so...
00:13:47Yuck.
00:13:49Gross.
00:13:50Zoe, here's what we're going to do.
00:13:54Mr. Latour, I take it you saw the interview?
00:13:57Yes.
00:13:58Yes, I agree. Claire has her issues.
00:14:01No, no, no. Don't worry. I've taken care of it.
00:14:04Don't worry. I've taken care of it.
00:14:07My legal department is preparing a statement for the press where she'll take full responsibility.
00:14:13Ava will be in top shape, back on her feet for the shoot in Seattle.
00:14:17Yes, you have my word.
00:14:20So, what do you say?
00:14:22Latour's in the bag.
00:14:24But Claire has to take the fall.
00:14:26Perfect.
00:14:28Let's celebrate.
00:14:38Are you going to join me?
00:14:41Do you think that's a good idea?
00:14:43Because the doctor hasn't diagnosed your mysterious stomach issue yet.
00:14:47I have a different kind of ache.
00:14:49And I need you to take care of it.
00:14:53Huh.
00:14:57Wine?
00:14:59Is that a Jackson Pollock?
00:15:01It is. It's my favorite piece of his.
00:15:04It's incredible.
00:15:07You hungry?
00:15:09Starved.
00:15:18You're awfully quiet.
00:15:21More like speechless.
00:15:23The food was amazing. Where did you learn to cook like that?
00:15:26It's going to sound cliche, but growing up I spent more time in the kitchen with the staff than with my actual parents.
00:15:33I get it.
00:15:35You would.
00:15:37You're nothing like I thought you'd be.
00:15:39Dare I ask?
00:15:41Ruthless. Someone used to getting what they want at the expense of others.
00:15:46Someone who cares more about the bottom line than people?
00:15:52To most, I am that person.
00:15:55But to the ones I hold dear, the ones I choose to let in...
00:15:59I love you.
00:16:15Make no mistake, Claire. If you do betray me, there'll be no forgiveness.
00:16:20Right back at you, Mr. Cross.
00:16:30Good morning.
00:16:32Sorry, I must have dozed off.
00:16:34Hold on, let me get that.
00:16:36I don't think that's a good idea.
00:16:38No.
00:16:42Hello?
00:16:45Hello?
00:16:46Hey, where are you?
00:16:47I found a place to hide out. The reporters are hounding me.
00:16:50Claire Bear, I know this isn't ideal, but I need you in the office right now.
00:16:55Not ideal?
00:16:56Not ideal?
00:16:57Ava practically told the whole world I'm crazy.
00:16:59Oh, just forgive her.
00:17:01Poor Ava. The medication she's on, it's making her paranoid.
00:17:05Will I see you soon?
00:17:07Sure, Dylan. I'll see you soon.
00:17:11What are you doing?
00:17:14Just in case you need anything.
00:17:16Daddy?
00:17:17I mean, I was going to put hubby, but since you're keeping me a secret...
00:17:21For now.
00:17:23What were you thinking, Claire?
00:17:25All you had to do was put on the damn bracelet and walk the runway show for Ava.
00:17:29Why would you draw that much attention to your legs?
00:17:32The bracelet was tailored to Ava's wrist, and she's bigger boned than me.
00:17:36It didn't fit. I had to improvise.
00:17:38That makes sense.
00:17:40You know, I knew Ava was dead set that you had to improvise,
00:17:44but I didn't know you were going to improvise.
00:17:46I didn't know you were going to improvise.
00:17:48That makes sense.
00:17:49You know, I knew Ava was dead set that you had some agenda against me,
00:17:53but I told her there's no way that you would sabotage me.
00:17:56We're getting married. You love me. You would never hurt me.
00:18:01You're right, Dylan. You know me so well.
00:18:03There's still a situation here, and if you don't do something to fix this,
00:18:07Muse will lose the Latour contract.
00:18:10This will cause a domino effect at the agency, and I won't be able to stop the cutbacks.
00:18:15Junior staff will lose their jobs. That includes Zoe.
00:18:18I can't have that.
00:18:21I can't have that.
00:18:23Well, there's not much time.
00:18:25My legal department has prepared a damage control script.
00:18:30Memorize it.
00:18:32You'll be meeting with the press in ten minutes.
00:18:35But this is a confession.
00:18:37I might not have a career after this.
00:18:39Well, let's be honest.
00:18:41Ava is our top billing model, and you, Claire,
00:18:44you never really took off,
00:18:46despite all the opportunities I created for you.
00:18:51I get it. I'm expendable.
00:18:54And one more thing.
00:18:56Stick to the script.
00:18:59No more improvising.
00:19:08Everything ready to go?
00:19:09My finger's on the trigger.
00:19:11I gotta go. Fire away.
00:19:13Okay.
00:19:15Please tell me you're using a burner.
00:19:17Who the hell are you?
00:19:21I'm thinking too small of a key.
00:19:33Members of the press, thank you for coming.
00:19:36In regards to the events that occurred at the True Love fashion show,
00:19:39I deeply regret any harm I caused Mr. Vincent Latour and his revered brand.
00:19:44I take full responsibility for my actions.
00:19:47News talent agency had no knowledge of my intention to take Ava's place on the runway.
00:19:53These photos would suggest otherwise.
00:19:58Photos? What photos?
00:20:04Photos? What photos?
00:20:07This is evidence that Miss Duvall regularly pretended to be Miss Bennet over the last two years.
00:20:12Surely the president of the company must have known.
00:20:15Right.
00:20:16Claire, if you're being used as a scapegoat and you want to be rescued, just blink twice.
00:20:21Miss Duvall stands by her statement.
00:20:23She acted alone as the sole perpetrator.
00:20:26I, we, news talent as a company, had no idea of any and all prior incidences.
00:20:37Oh, we are done here.
00:20:39Wait a minute. Wait, Mr. Maxwell.
00:20:41Mr. Maxwell.
00:20:42Mr. Maxwell.
00:20:43What happened?
00:20:44Wait, hold on. Mr. Maxwell.
00:20:46Mr. Maxwell.
00:20:47Wait a minute.
00:20:49Nicely done, Gavin.
00:20:51Thank you, Christian.
00:20:53Lady's had it under control. I just gave a little boost.
00:20:57My wife's a force of nature.
00:20:59Yeah, she's had to be.
00:21:02Take a look at that.
00:21:08Here's what I got so far.
00:21:09Upon signing with News Talent Agency at 21, Claire Duvall was initially overseen by Miranda Maxwell.
00:21:15You know, Maxwell's older sister.
00:21:17Now the chairman of Maxwell Holdings.
00:21:19We've crossed paths.
00:21:20Exactly.
00:21:21Claire was hailed a rising star in the modeling world.
00:21:24Then inexplicably, her stardom plummeted.
00:21:27Rumors began to spread that she was temperamental.
00:21:29Rumors began to spread that she was temperamental.
00:21:31She would show up late for shoots or not at all.
00:21:34There was even suspicion that drugs were involved.
00:21:36Offers dried up completely.
00:21:38They deliberately ruined her.
00:21:40It appears that way.
00:21:42But why?
00:21:44If you want to crush someone's dream, you don't just take it away.
00:21:49You kill it.
00:21:50By that time, Claire's access to senior management was non-existent.
00:21:55She was relegated to a junior manager by the name of Zoe Bauer.
00:21:59And that's when Dylan Maxwell started dating Claire.
00:22:02He broke her down just so he could scoop her up.
00:22:06Doesn't make sense.
00:22:08Claire Duvall is the total package.
00:22:10Why would a talent agency tank the career of a supermodel in the making?
00:22:14Because there was more money to be made elsewhere.
00:22:18Someone's pulling Dylan Maxwell's strings.
00:22:21We have to find the puppet master.
00:22:29I'm sorry.
00:22:31I'm sorry.
00:22:33I'm sorry.
00:22:35I'm sorry.
00:22:37I'm sorry.
00:22:39I'm sorry.
00:22:41I'm sorry.
00:22:43I'm sorry.
00:22:45I'm sorry.
00:22:47I'm sorry.
00:22:49I'm sorry.
00:22:51I'm sorry.
00:22:53I'm sorry.
00:22:55I'm sorry.
00:22:58What?
00:22:59Claire, the paparazzi keeps following me everywhere, but I think I can lose them.
00:23:04Can I come over?
00:23:06No. No, I'm crashing at Zoe's.
00:23:08We need to strategize our next move.
00:23:11What next move? There is no next move.
00:23:13I've done my part and took the blame.
00:23:15No, no, no. It backfired.
00:23:16They're not after you now, Claire. They're after me.
00:23:18You could go and apologize to Ava.
00:23:21You can't be serious.
00:23:23No, and if the press sees you do that, then...
00:23:26then they'll think I'm crazy.
00:23:28They'll think you're repentant.
00:23:30You know, I'm starting to question your loyalty, Claire.
00:23:33Are you still with me?
00:23:38Of course, Dylan.
00:23:42I'll be right there.
00:23:49When she gets here, I say we put Claire in her place.
00:23:53The little princess bowing before me. Genius. I love it.
00:23:56And everyone will see just how low she has fallen.
00:23:59That little bitch needs it drilled into her sad head that Dylan is mine.
00:24:04True that.
00:24:06Honestly, the one true star of Muse Talent Agency is Ava Bennett-Maxwell.
00:24:14Accurate.
00:24:16She's going to push your buttons. Don't let her.
00:24:20I won't.
00:24:26Stop. She's coming.
00:24:31Ava.
00:24:33Claire.
00:24:37Didn't you come here to do something, like apologize to moi?
00:24:42That's what Dylan wants.
00:24:44Then get to it.
00:24:51What is this?
00:24:53Well, if you really want to apologize to me...
00:24:59then get down on your hands and knees.
00:25:03Then wash my feet.
00:25:08Just when I thought you couldn't sink any lower, you surprise me.
00:25:13Doesn't really sound like an apology, does it?
00:25:18You know what, Ava? I am sorry.
00:25:21You know what, Ava? I am sorry.
00:25:25Seeing you like this, seeing what you've become,
00:25:28seeing just how far you'll go to feed the emptiness inside of you.
00:25:32You know what? It's not your feet that need to be washed.
00:25:35It's that cold, black heart of yours.
00:25:40Bravo, Claire.
00:25:42How long have you been rehearsing that little speech?
00:25:44How long have you been rehearsing that little speech?
00:25:46I'm still waiting on my apology, TikTok.
00:25:50Then let me be perfectly clear.
00:25:53I will never, for as long as I live, apologize to the likes of you.
00:26:01Did you get all that?
00:26:08Hey, fam. Reggie here. Welcome back to my channel.
00:26:11So, the past 40 hours have been cray cray.
00:26:15So, let's figure out what's going on in the battle royale of supermodels.
00:26:20I will never, for as long as I live, apologize to the likes of you.
00:26:28Listen here. Claire Dee was about to show all her true colors.
00:26:32But guess what, fam? That girl has nothing to apologize for.
00:26:35Nada. Zilch.
00:26:37Because this intrepid reporter has obtained intimate photos of Ava Bee and a certain muse CEO.
00:26:44Dylan M, aren't you engaged to Claire Dee?
00:26:47She just got a cheat, I guess.
00:26:49And listen here, Ava Bee.
00:26:51You are one naughty, nasty, disgusting little girl, by the way.
00:26:57So, tune in next week to see what happens on the battle royale of supermodels.
00:27:01I'm going to go ahead and wash my eyes out now because I feel wrong.
00:27:05I feel wrong.
00:27:07It's wrong.
00:27:08It's Reggie took your anonymous tip and ran with it.
00:27:10It's brilliant, Claire.
00:27:11Oh, that? That was nothing.
00:27:14You're enjoying this.
00:27:16What's that old expression, revenge is sweet?
00:27:19I like the side of you.
00:27:21Then do you want to join me on part two of my revenge?
00:27:24Lead the way.
00:27:29Hey, it's Claire. Leave a message.
00:27:31Hey, Claire Bear, I'm here where you told us to meet. Where are you?
00:27:35Hey, look, Ava thing, it's not what it seems, okay?
00:27:38We can talk about it when you get here.
00:27:40See you soon.
00:27:51I cannot tell you how many times I was the one left hanging, waiting for him.
00:27:56Sometimes he would show.
00:27:58Most often not at all.
00:28:00Do you still love him?
00:28:04How can I love someone I never really knew?
00:28:08Look at him over there, plotting ways to get me back.
00:28:11He's clearly into Ava.
00:28:13Why is he trying so hard to salvage a relationship he cares nothing about?
00:28:16That's the million dollar question.
00:28:23Poor bastard.
00:28:25You want to keep watching?
00:28:27No. I'm ready to move forward.
00:28:30Let's go back to my house and get the last of my things.
00:28:42I just came by to say goodnight.
00:28:44Come in.
00:28:48Is this your family?
00:28:50Yeah, this is my debutante ball when I was 20.
00:28:53Was it a memorable night?
00:28:56Unforgettable.
00:28:59Claire?
00:29:01Where are you, Claire?
00:29:03Claire?
00:29:06Claire, there you are.
00:29:08What are you doing hiding out here?
00:29:10This is your debut.
00:29:12I just need a moment, Mom.
00:29:15Well, your grandmother's looking for you.
00:29:17She has someone she wants you to meet.
00:29:19He's quite a catch.
00:29:21I want more from this life
00:29:23than balls and suitable matches and this golden cage.
00:29:26There's a world out there to explore,
00:29:28adventures to have, risks to take.
00:29:30Enough of this nonsense, Claire.
00:29:33Your grandmother is not someone to be trifled with.
00:29:36Well, tell her thanks but no thanks.
00:29:39Honestly, tell her I'd rather die than meet another
00:29:42boring, entitled rich boy that checks all of her boxes.
00:29:45Don't be selfish.
00:29:48I can't afford another scandal.
00:29:50Like when Dad left his first wife for you?
00:29:57Like when Dad left his first wife for you?
00:30:04Remember who you are.
00:30:07The sole heiress to the Winthrop Empire.
00:30:10You need to stay here and do your part, young lady.
00:30:14I'm not your young lady.
00:30:16And I'm no longer a Winthrop.
00:30:18From now on, I'll forge my own path and make my own name.
00:30:27That was the last time I saw them before I ran away.
00:30:33They died in a helicopter crash a year later.
00:30:44What's the five going to be today?
00:30:51Endless possibilities.
00:30:53So many to pick from.
00:30:55With AliExpress, you're covered wherever you go.
00:31:00Dylan, did you see it?
00:31:02It should be me modeling for AliExpress.
00:31:05I'm so proud of you.
00:31:07I'm so proud of you.
00:31:09I'm so proud of you.
00:31:11Dylan, did you see it?
00:31:13It should be me modeling for AliExpress.
00:31:16First a scandal and now this.
00:31:18The world is turning against me.
00:31:20I need you.
00:31:22You're not the only one going through shit, Ava.
00:31:25Why are you being so mean?
00:31:30My office. Now.
00:31:32I'm...
00:31:35Oh.
00:31:37Curb your appetite, baby brother.
00:31:40This was supposed to be easy.
00:31:43And you're fucking it all up.
00:31:49Claire, it's me.
00:31:51I'm coming in, okay?
00:31:53Okay?
00:32:03Claire, they're replying backfire.
00:32:05Should I be worried? Where are you?
00:32:07I'm home.
00:32:09Bullshit. I am in your house.
00:32:11Yeah, I woke up this morning and got like a thousand texts from Dylan
00:32:14asking for your whereabouts.
00:32:16He wanted my address since you were crashing at my place.
00:32:19But we both know you're not at my place nor at yours.
00:32:22Where are you?
00:32:23In the mood for a frittata?
00:32:25Frittata?
00:32:27Who's that?
00:32:30So.
00:32:32I got married.
00:32:34Married?
00:32:36When?
00:32:37How?
00:32:38With?
00:32:39With who?
00:32:40It's a long story, Ava.
00:32:42It's too long for a phone call.
00:32:43Stay put. Gavin will pick you up.
00:32:45Gavin?
00:32:46Who the hell is Gavin?
00:32:53Hey, rookie.
00:32:55Gavin at your service.
00:32:57You.
00:33:03Why would you do that?
00:33:05For being an arrogant prick.
00:33:07You got a short fuse, rookie?
00:33:09My name is Zoe, asshole.
00:33:23We're coming in.
00:33:26Hi.
00:33:31I'm Christian Cross.
00:33:33I'm Christian Cross.
00:33:35Believe me, Mr. Cross.
00:33:37I know who you are.
00:33:38Everybody knows.
00:33:40Call me Christian.
00:33:41I mean, Claire talks so much about you, I feel like I already know you.
00:33:44Yeah?
00:33:46Cool.
00:33:50Cool.
00:33:52Claire, a word?
00:33:56Excuse us.
00:34:00No kicks for him?
00:34:05You married Christian Cross?
00:34:07Don't freak out. It's too late.
00:34:09Christian Cross is your husband.
00:34:12I know.
00:34:13Claire, this is like next, next level.
00:34:15Dylan is gonna shit himself.
00:34:17You couldn't ask for sweeter revenge than dumping that shriveled little worm in scoring.
00:34:22The richest, baddest, sexiest dude in this whole freaking planet.
00:34:27Zoe, we can't tell anyone yet.
00:34:30Swear you won't say anything.
00:34:32I swear.
00:34:34This is going to be epic!
00:34:36Oh my gosh, look how cute.
00:34:44Dylan, what are you doing here?
00:34:46I need to talk to you.
00:34:48Doc, have you figured out what's wrong with her stomach?
00:34:50Yes, I predict that it will be resolved in nine months.
00:34:53Why? That's long!
00:34:55Medicine has come a long way, Mr. Maxwell.
00:34:57But even science can't shorten the gestation period of a fetus.
00:35:05Okay, so.
00:35:07We stabilized your pregnancy and corrected your acute need.
00:35:11You're no longer at risk of miscarriage.
00:35:13Now, if you continue to neglect your condition, you will need to come back and get another transfusion.
00:35:18Do not wait until you faint this time, Ms. Bennett.
00:35:21Thanks, doctor. I won't.
00:35:23Okay, Ms. Bennett. Mr. Maxwell.
00:35:35I can't believe this.
00:35:37You're pregnant?
00:35:39Why wouldn't you tell me about this before?
00:35:41This is a fucking disaster.
00:35:43How can you have a bun in the oven and walk on a runway, huh?
00:35:47You know what the press finds out?
00:35:49We're fucked.
00:35:50They will tear us to shreds.
00:35:52There is no coming back from this.
00:35:54Do you understand what you've done?
00:35:56If Claire finds out about this, she won't marry me.
00:35:58I've lost everything!
00:36:00How dare you!
00:36:02I am so sick and tired of hearing Claire's name!
00:36:07You are going to be a father now, Dylan.
00:36:09How can you just still marry her?
00:36:11You told me you don't love her anymore.
00:36:12I don't love her.
00:36:14Ava, it is...
00:36:15Then break up with her and marry me!
00:36:17It is not that simple.
00:36:19Claire is worth billions.
00:36:21Or her family is.
00:36:22She is a Winthrop.
00:36:24So you're telling me that that skank-leggy bitch is some secret heiress?
00:36:30When Claire became a model, she had to change her name because her family didn't approve.
00:36:35And how do you know this information?
00:36:37Miranda, my sister, she runs in the same circles as her grandmother.
00:36:41Just think about it.
00:36:43If I marry Claire, the only thing that's standing between me and three billion dollars
00:36:48is an ancient bitch who's about to fall over.
00:36:51You mean three billion dollars standing between us.
00:36:55Yes.
00:36:56Right, Dylan?
00:36:57Of course, Ava.
00:36:58But in order for that to work, Claire cannot succeed.
00:37:02And you have to be at the top of your game and win the competition.
00:37:06Or if that doesn't work, sabotage.
00:37:09Claire won't know what hit her.
00:37:11And we still have the Latour contract.
00:37:14So we can turn this thing around.
00:37:16You'll win top model at the competition.
00:37:18Claire will be crushed and have to marry me.
00:37:23And then we'll tell everybody that you're abroad in Milan while you're having our baby.
00:37:28And once that elder bitch croaks, a series of unfortunate events will happen to Claire.
00:37:34Too bad.
00:37:35So sad.
00:37:36Bye bye, Claire bear.
00:37:43Well, after careful consideration, Latour has chosen Claire Duval as the new face of our true love collection.
00:37:56I'm deeply honored by Mr. Latour's faith in me.
00:37:59And I look forward to representing such a prestigious global brand.
00:38:03Mr. Latour, a little birdie told me that Ava B's contract was terminated using a morality clause.
00:38:09Well, after the whole bathroom gate scandal, can you blame me?
00:38:14But Ms. Duval is not without her own controversy.
00:38:17Especially after impersonating Ava Bennett at her own show.
00:38:21What made you decide to give her a shot?
00:38:24Well, Christian, you were asking me to bet on an unproven model with a dubious past.
00:38:33I could tell you how brilliant she is, or how lucky you'd be to have her.
00:38:37But I'm not going to try to persuade you, Vince.
00:38:39Time will do that.
00:38:43What I will say is, if you don't hire Claire Duval, Pinnacle will unilaterally stop promoting Latour across all platforms.
00:38:51From film and television productions to our cruise lines.
00:38:56Well, you know, when I decided to expand from a single shop on Jewelers Row to an international brand with shops on seven continents, someone took a chance on me.
00:39:09And it is finally time that I repay that favor.
00:39:12So, to the future of Latour.
00:39:14And we are expecting great things from Ms. Duval at her upcoming photo shoot in Seattle.
00:39:26When I asked you to move in, I never pictured you in the kitchen.
00:39:29It's quite a sight.
00:39:31You're not supposed to be home for another hour. I was going to clean up.
00:39:34Where's the staff?
00:39:36I gave them the night off so we could celebrate my gig.
00:39:39Can't wait to hear all about it.
00:39:42The oven.
00:39:43I totally forgot about the steaks.
00:39:51I like it that way.
00:39:53I like it that way.
00:39:55If a waiter asked me how I wanted it, I would say that. That looks good.
00:39:59But it's not great.
00:40:01Okay, take out it.
00:40:04Burst.
00:40:24Cheers.
00:40:29I always wondered what it would be like to come home to someone at the end of the night.
00:40:34And?
00:40:54Cheers.
00:41:00Cheers.
00:41:24Cheers.
00:41:26Cheers.
00:41:28Cheers.
00:41:30Cheers.
00:41:32Cheers.
00:41:53Cheers.
00:42:13So are you ever going to tell me why you had to get married?
00:42:16It's not a very romantic story.
00:42:18And mine is. I think we're past that.
00:42:21The Cross men throughout history have always been adventurers.
00:42:25Some might even say rogues.
00:42:27There were quite a few rakes.
00:42:29More than a few duels.
00:42:31Why sir, how scandalous.
00:42:34I'm most assuredly intrigued.
00:42:36A lot of them died really young.
00:42:38Out of nowhere.
00:42:40The Crosses were literally dying off.
00:42:43So, a codice was added that required all Cross men to be married by the time they were 30 or they'd lose their inheritance.
00:42:51Seriously?
00:42:52Seriously.
00:42:54I turned 30.
00:42:56On that day.
00:42:59That was your birthday.
00:43:01You didn't even celebrate.
00:43:03Because I did.
00:43:06You came home with me.
00:43:13I did.
00:43:34Christian!
00:43:36My dear, how is your evening going so far?
00:43:39Yeah, good so far. Thank you for inviting me.
00:43:42Of course. And your ventures? Tell me about your most recent acquisition.
00:43:47A Silicon Valley startup with a promising artificial intelligence.
00:43:51I think it could be a game changer.
00:43:53Speaking of change, have you found anyone special?
00:43:57Not yet. I'm still searching.
00:44:00Well, then you must meet my granddaughter Claire.
00:44:05There she is.
00:44:12There she is.
00:44:14You need to stay here and do your part, young lady.
00:44:18From now on, I'll forge my own path and make my own name.
00:44:25Do not test me, Miss Winthrop.
00:44:27Throwing away a billion dollar trust fund for a whimsical game of independence.
00:44:33Don't you worry. I'll bring her to heel.
00:44:36Don't bother. I have no interest in a bride who's been coerced.
00:44:41Hey.
00:44:43You're so beautiful.
00:44:47Hey, stop it.
00:44:51Is this real for me?
00:44:53Yeah, it's real.
00:44:55It's real.
00:44:57It's real.
00:44:59It's real.
00:45:01It's real.
00:45:03It's real.
00:45:05It's real.
00:45:07It's real.
00:45:09Is it real for me?
00:45:11Promise we'll never forget that.
00:45:14I promise.
00:45:16I promise.
00:45:35Our meetings at Pinnacle should end around five.
00:45:37When you're done here, I'll send a car.
00:45:39Take you to some of the city.
00:45:41I can't wait.
00:45:43Anais Adler is one of the most famous fashion photographers in the world.
00:45:47Christian, what if I freeze up or stumble or choke or something?
00:45:50You'll be spectacular.
00:45:52Because you are spectacular.
00:45:55Okay?
00:45:57Okay.
00:46:11A private plane, a limousine to the shoot,
00:46:14and a hunky mogul waiting for you afterward?
00:46:16Sign me up.
00:46:18These last five years, I've had such bad luck.
00:46:21But since Christian came into my life,
00:46:23I think my luck has finally changed.
00:46:28No one deserves it more than you do, Claire.
00:46:30Now let's get in there and blow them all away.
00:46:42I'm with you today.
00:46:45Claire's my girl. I've got this.
00:46:47I think, Miss Bauer, that we got off on the wrong foot.
00:46:51I think you're an excellent manager.
00:46:53And under normal circumstances,
00:46:55Miss Duval will be in great hands.
00:46:57But?
00:46:59There are dark forces at play.
00:47:01Claire's going to need all the help she can get.
00:47:04Truce?
00:47:06For Claire.
00:47:08Truce.
00:47:13Claire, this is a first date.
00:47:16You're so nervous.
00:47:18Because you may be the one, no?
00:47:21See? Because you may be the one, no?
00:47:24So, what necklace do you wear?
00:47:26Come, see the play.
00:47:28That one?
00:47:35Oh, incredible. Oui, oui.
00:47:38Oh, yes.
00:47:40Your eyes have so much awe and thrill.
00:47:45Oui.
00:47:47Claire, come, rest.
00:47:49The male model, he should be here any moment.
00:47:52And let's hope whoever they sent
00:47:54can match your looks and your talent.
00:47:56It is tragic.
00:47:58We never worked together before.
00:48:00It's a deal.
00:48:02Okay, you're ready.
00:48:06It's happening. It's finally happening.
00:48:12Dylan, you scared me. What are you doing here?
00:48:14Last time that I checked, we were still engaged.
00:48:17So I have every right to see my fiancée?
00:48:19Yeah, well, you lost that right when you slept with Ava.
00:48:23No, that was a one-time thing.
00:48:25And it didn't mean anything at all.
00:48:27But we could have moved past it
00:48:29if you would have just returned my calls.
00:48:32Come on. Don't be like this to me.
00:48:35Not after everything I've done for you.
00:48:38Done for me?
00:48:40You weren't just a crappy boyfriend, Dylan.
00:48:42You were a crappy agent, too.
00:48:44I don't know how you tricked LaTorre
00:48:46into giving you this gig,
00:48:48but you're making a fool of yourself.
00:48:51The days of pretending to be a model,
00:48:53they're over, Claire.
00:48:55All right, you're coming home with me right now.
00:48:57We'll get married in Vegas on our way back.
00:49:00No.
00:49:02We're over.
00:49:04We've been over for a long time, Dylan.
00:49:07We've been over for a long time.
00:49:10Leave.
00:49:14You're hurting me.
00:49:16I haven't even begun to hurt you.
00:49:18You know, my biggest mistake was being too gentle with you.
00:49:21You know that male model that's supposed to show up today?
00:49:24He's not coming.
00:49:26Your biggest break
00:49:28is about to be your worst nightmare.
00:49:30Nobody will show up for you
00:49:32after your little drama today
00:49:34ruins this shoot.
00:49:36Huh? You think you're too good for me, Claire?
00:49:38Huh?
00:49:40You will never escape from me.
00:49:42Hey, you need to leave.
00:49:44Now. I'm going.
00:49:48I'll see you soon, Claire Bear.
00:49:52Are you okay?
00:49:54No.
00:49:56Dylan canceled the male model.
00:49:58No one's coming.
00:50:00When Latour finds out...
00:50:02I'm ruined.
00:50:04There's still time to fix this.
00:50:06You thinking what I'm thinking?
00:50:13Hey.
00:50:15How quick can you get to the studio?
00:50:17Year one foot traffic.
00:50:19What are we projecting?
00:50:21Fifteen million. Conservatively.
00:50:23And if we surpass that?
00:50:25A ten percent balance is quarterly.
00:50:27Straight up.
00:50:35Let's make history together.
00:50:38Excuse me.
00:50:40How quick can you get to the studio?
00:50:44Hello, Vincent.
00:50:46This is catastrophe.
00:50:48My time, it does not extend eternal.
00:50:50No.
00:50:52Where is the lover
00:50:54to complete the true love piece
00:50:56of resistance, huh?
00:50:58Yes, I know. I am sorry.
00:51:00We are scrambling to find somebody.
00:51:02But nothing is looking good.
00:51:04This Claire Duval, I am telling you.
00:51:07Disaster just follows this chick
00:51:09wherever she goes.
00:51:23Crisis averted.
00:51:25The lover is here.
00:51:29And we'll do what a lover he is.
00:51:33Thank you for doing this.
00:51:35He touch you?
00:51:37Maxwell will pay for this.
00:51:39He touches my wife.
00:51:44Quick, quick.
00:51:46Get the lover in costume.
00:51:48Please.
00:51:50Excuse me, Miss Adler.
00:51:52Let's try not to show his face.
00:51:54Mr. Kress really values his privacy.
00:51:56I have an NDA here for you and the crew to sign.
00:51:58Thank you so much.
00:52:00Now.
00:52:02This is the grand gesture.
00:52:04The moment of do or die.
00:52:06The height of love romance.
00:52:08Voila.
00:52:10There he is, Claire.
00:52:12Down on one knee.
00:52:14Ring in hand.
00:52:16A question in his eyes.
00:52:20And you,
00:52:22your heart is weak.
00:52:24Behold lips.
00:52:26This is the dream come true.
00:52:28True romance.
00:52:30This.
00:52:34Christian Kross.
00:52:38I'll be damned.
00:52:40The bond, it has
00:52:42much
00:52:44deepened.
00:52:46Eh?
00:52:48No matter
00:52:50what life threw at you,
00:52:52it cannot tell you apart.
00:52:56Look into each other's eyes.
00:52:58Look into each other's eyes.
00:53:00Look into each other's eyes.
00:53:02Look into each other's eyes
00:53:04and whisper.
00:53:08Hey, wifey.
00:53:10Hey, hubby.
00:53:12This campaign
00:53:14is going to be a massive hit.
00:53:20Hey, fans. Reggie here.

00:53:38because guess what? We have a stunning
00:53:40newcomer in Claire D.

00:53:46Drumroll, please.
00:53:48Yep, that's right.
00:53:50The Latour True Love Campaign.
00:53:52Shot by the one and only
00:53:54Anaïs Adler.
00:53:56Claire Duval.
00:53:58Magnifique. Je ne sais quoi.
00:54:00A soulful essence
00:54:02in her eyes.
00:54:04C'est magnifique.
00:54:06That's right. The Latour True Love
00:54:08Campaign. Ladies and gentlemen,
00:54:10fans, Claire D. is literally
00:54:12the personification of grace.
00:54:14And the chemistry in this shoot?
00:54:16Oh, my God.
00:54:18It was off, off, off, off the chain.
00:54:20And who on earth is
00:54:22this stunning, faceless
00:54:24model with that sexy back?
00:54:26Mm, yum, yum, yum, yum.
00:54:28I need more. I want more. I need
00:54:30so much more.
00:54:32I have literally been emailing Mr. Vincent Latour
00:54:34daily, trying to get the big reveal.
00:54:36Ahem.
00:54:38Dear Mr. Vincent Latour,
00:54:40here he, here he. You are the worst.
00:54:42I cannot stand you, and you are killing me with the
00:54:44suspense. Sincerely,
00:54:46Reginald. Now, the couple
00:54:48embodies the timeless quality
00:54:50of true love, and we are honored
00:54:52and proud of the
00:54:54positive feedback that this campaign has generated.
00:54:56Now, of course, we all
00:54:58know Mr. Vince Latour is gonna
00:55:00make so much mucho dinero
00:55:02off this campaign.
00:55:04But friends, fans,
00:55:06we are only one week away
00:55:08from the Battle Royale, the
00:55:10Top Model Competition. And guess
00:55:12what? Mr. Vince Latour
00:55:14is gonna be a judge. So, I might just
00:55:16have to flutter on over to him and ask
00:55:18him in person who this sexy back
00:55:20is. Because guess what, fans?
00:55:22Ahem.
00:55:24That's right. George Truly
00:55:26has been tapped by
00:55:28the network to host the Top Model
00:55:30Competition!
00:55:32Oh my god.
00:55:34You like me? You really do like me?
00:55:36You really like me?
00:55:38I want to know too.
00:55:40Yes, you do.
00:55:44Who the fuck is this guy?
00:55:46I did everything in my power to make sure
00:55:48the male model would not show up so Claire would
00:55:50tell her her face. She always just
00:55:52lands on her feet.
00:55:56Looks like she's landing more than
00:55:58just on her feet.
00:56:00On a kitchen counter.
00:56:02In a hallway. On the
00:56:04stairs. Against a shower
00:56:06wall. Ava, get
00:56:08your mind out the gutter. That's not what you were telling
00:56:10me last night. No, we're talking about
00:56:12Claire here. She's not like you.
00:56:16Okay. Claire?
00:56:18She's such a saint, huh?
00:56:20The Vestal Virgin. If she's
00:56:22so special, then why didn't
00:56:24you knock her up instead?
00:56:26Oh wait, I know why.
00:56:28Because Claire didn't like you that
00:56:30much. And now that she's with a guy
00:56:32that she actually likes, you
00:56:34can't handle it, can you?
00:56:38I don't think
00:56:40so. I'm not some meek
00:56:42bitch that's gonna stand for your shit.
00:56:44I am the only one that's gonna
00:56:46make sure that Claire doesn't win Top Model
00:56:48from inside the competition.
00:56:50Don't get too full of yourself, Ava.
00:56:52You're not the only one.
00:56:54Who else do you have in your pocket?
00:56:56What aren't you telling me?
00:56:58Just stick to your plan to sabotage
00:57:00Claire. I'll handle mine.
00:57:02Fine. You keep
00:57:04your secrets, and I'll keep
00:57:06mine.
00:57:12We need to meet.
00:57:14It's too dangerous.
00:57:16The usual spot.
00:57:18Room 201? I'll be there.
00:57:24Hey, no peeking.
00:57:26Just like a little kid.
00:57:28Alright, it's a surprise.
00:57:30Just a few more steps.
00:57:32Shouldn't you be swamped
00:57:34with work? We can wait.
00:57:36You are my priority.
00:57:44Huh.
00:57:48You need the perfect armor
00:57:50for combat. That's such a guy
00:57:52thing to say.
00:57:54It's a modeling competition, not war.
00:57:56Make no mistake, Claire. It is war.
00:57:58And I'll be there for you.
00:58:02Oh, did I forget to mention
00:58:04Pinnacle is the network televising the event?
00:58:06You definitely did not mention
00:58:08that, no.
00:58:10I'm her wife, Claire.
00:58:12Famous for the world.
00:58:26You should choose your words more carefully.
00:58:28I don't take well to threats.
00:58:30Well, you should have thought about that
00:58:32before you failed so miserably.
00:58:34Let's not forget.
00:58:38I own you.
00:58:40In it, Claire being nominated
00:58:42to top model does put an
00:58:44unexpected wrinkle
00:58:46Wrinkle? You were supposed
00:58:48to end this modeling nonsense
00:58:50not launch her into the stratosphere.
00:58:52Your granddaughter hasn't won yet.
00:58:56And
00:58:58if you play your part,
00:59:00Claire will walk down
00:59:02that runway and
00:59:04crash and burn.
00:59:06Start talking.
00:59:10Here's what we do.
00:59:20I cannot wait to knock off that old battle axe.
00:59:24Oh, fall in the shower.
00:59:26A mix of medication.
00:59:28Alright, focus, Dylan.
00:59:30That will happen
00:59:32after you marry Claire.
00:59:34Now, I need you to
00:59:36go visit Bruno Lundy.
00:59:38Make sure he knows he won't
00:59:40be a judge this year.
00:59:42Convince him it's worth his while.
00:59:44And that old bat.
00:59:46You think she's up for it?
00:59:48She'll do it.
00:59:50Grace Winthrop has
00:59:52controlled that family for 50
00:59:54years.
00:59:56No one has even stood up to her.
00:59:58Except
01:00:00Claire. She doesn't just want
01:00:02Claire back in the fold.
01:00:04She wants Claire
01:00:06her son.
01:00:12Just hold tight, Gavin.
01:00:14I'll let you know after I speak with Claire.
01:00:18Morning, hubby.
01:00:22I need you to sit down.
01:00:24What's wrong, Christian?
01:00:26You're scaring me.
01:00:28The head of production at Pinnacle noticed
01:00:30a judge change in the competition.
01:00:32Really uneasy way to say this, Claire.
01:00:34Your grandmother's gonna be one
01:00:36of the judges. What?
01:00:38That's not possible.
01:00:40She would never...
01:00:42There's been a mistake. She despises modeling.
01:00:44She hates that I became one.
01:00:46Why would she do this?
01:00:58My own grandmother
01:01:00is gonna vote against me.
01:01:02I can't escape her.
01:01:04This isn't the first time your grandmother's
01:01:06tried to destroy your career, Claire.
01:01:10I had investigators looking to Dylan and Miranda.
01:01:12What do they have to do with this?
01:01:14Two years ago,
01:01:16Maxwell Holdings was on the verge of bankruptcy
01:01:18from a series of bad investments
01:01:20and poorly timed expansions.
01:01:22Muse and all of its subsidiaries
01:01:24were on the chopping block.
01:01:26Then, they received an influx of cash
01:01:28from a new, silent partner.
01:01:30Winthrop Limited?
01:01:32Yes. The terms of the deal
01:01:34were that Dylan and Miranda
01:01:36would do everything in their power to derail
01:01:38the future of a promising young model.
01:01:42You, Claire.
01:01:44So all the rumors
01:01:46that I was on drugs,
01:01:48incompetent, unstable...
01:01:50My own grandmother was behind all of it.
01:01:52Yeah, but you were more stubborn than they calculated.
01:01:54You never gave up, Claire.
01:01:56I saw her manage
01:01:58everyone in my family.
01:02:00My own parents were like sycophantic puppets
01:02:02in her grasp, but
01:02:04I never thought she'd go to such lengths
01:02:06to control me.
01:02:08It's like she doesn't see me as a real person
01:02:10with needs and fears and dreams.
01:02:12That's her loss, Claire.
01:02:14I wonder
01:02:16if marrying Dylan was a part of her plan.
01:02:18I mean, she's tried to marry me
01:02:20off before.
01:02:22Then you must
01:02:24meet my granddaughter, Claire.
01:02:26There she is.
01:02:32Okay, about that.
01:02:36About that.
01:02:38As if I'd marry someone she chose.
01:02:40Have you found anyone special?
01:02:42Then you must
01:02:44meet my granddaughter, Claire.
01:02:48I don't believe that
01:02:50your grandmother would consider Dylan for you.
01:02:52That is Miranda Maxwell written all over it.
01:02:54Your grandmother never
01:02:56technically disinherited you.
01:02:58As her sole surviving heir, Dylan
01:03:00stood to come into billions after marrying you.
01:03:02Yeah, but my grandmother's still alive.
01:03:04Yes.
01:03:06There is that.
01:03:10I just want a fair competition
01:03:12where I win or lose on my own merits.
01:03:14Not because the deck
01:03:16is stacked against me.
01:03:18Your grandmother's just one judge.
01:03:20There are three others.
01:03:24Okay.
01:03:28Hey, sexy.
01:03:44Claire, one more.
01:03:46One more, one more.
01:03:48Claire, who's taking home the top
01:03:50title tonight? You or Ava Bennett?
01:03:52Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
01:03:54There are ten models in this competition
01:03:56who got here through hard work and talent.
01:03:58This is a night to celebrate all of us.
01:04:00A time to honor...
01:04:06I can't
01:04:08escape her.
01:04:10This isn't the first time your grandmother's tried to
01:04:12destroy your career.
01:04:14That's all, folks.
01:04:16Miss Vaughn has a big night ahead of her. Thank you.
01:04:18Claire, one more.
01:04:20Over here.
01:04:22I think I'm going to be sick.
01:04:24I didn't expect it to be that hard
01:04:26seeing her like this.
01:04:28Okay, hang tight, Claire.
01:04:30Gavin, help her. I'll go get her a wet towel.
01:04:32Do you want a water or something?
01:04:34Yes, thank you.
01:04:38Just try to relax.
01:04:50Check and see if anyone's inside,
01:04:52Simon.
01:05:02Alright, coast is clear.
01:05:04I gotta be back at the judging table
01:05:06in five minutes, so we gotta be quick.
01:05:08Then shut up
01:05:10and get busy.
01:05:12Gross.
01:05:14Yuck. Not again.
01:05:16Ava.
01:05:18Ava, you saucy minx.
01:05:20You're killing me.
01:05:22Show me sexy.
01:05:24That belly of yours. Oh, so yummy.
01:05:26That's my baby.
01:05:28Come to papa.
01:05:30Holy shit. No freaking way.
01:05:32Hey.
01:05:46Hey, Christian.
01:05:50You wouldn't believe what Ava's
01:05:52been up to. I'm listening.

01:05:56I don't want to distract Claire, but
01:05:58quite a bombshell.
01:06:00Can barely contain
01:06:02my excitement.

01:06:16of my family is here to ruin me,
01:06:18but I'm doing awesome.
01:06:20Breathe, Claire. You got this.

01:06:24just find me in the crowd.

01:08:06Leave it to me, Your Highness.
01:08:08Your baby's got you.
01:08:20Ow! What are you doing? You brute!
01:08:22I bent down to pick up my name tag.
01:08:24Are you security, or shall I call
01:08:26security? Just get out of here.
01:08:36May the best bitch win, bitch.
01:08:38Don't listen
01:08:40to her.
01:08:44Next up is Ava Bennett,
01:08:46our reigning top contestant for the past
01:08:48three years. She slays harder than Santa,
01:08:50so watch out for those reindeer.
01:09:20Break a leg, Clairebearer.
01:09:22Move!
01:09:24Idiot.

01:09:50Next up is Claire Duval,
01:09:52whose meteoric rise in the industry
01:09:54has caught everyone off guard.
01:10:20Come on, my love.
01:10:22Rise up and show them who you are.
01:10:36Your girl's career imploded
01:10:38before it even took off.
01:10:40But you're making a fool of yourself.
01:10:42The days of pretending to be a model,
01:10:44they're over, Claire.
01:10:46Ava is our top billing model.
01:10:48Ava is our top billing model.
01:10:50And you, Claire?
01:10:52And you, Claire?
01:10:54It never really took off.
01:10:56You've lost everything.
01:10:58And you just don't know it yet.
01:11:02Come on, my love.
01:11:04Rise up and show them who you are.
01:11:08From now on, I'll forge my own path
01:11:10and make my own name.
01:11:14I will forge my own path
01:11:16and make my own name.
01:11:46I will forge my own path
01:11:48and make my own name.
01:11:50I will forge my own path
01:11:52and make my own name.
01:11:54I will forge my own path
01:11:56and make my own name.
01:12:16Ha!
01:12:30Get off me!
01:12:32Let me get you.
01:12:38Way to go, Claire.
01:12:40You slick.
01:12:46And now, the moment you've all been waiting for.
01:12:58Oh my God. Folks, we just had a glitch in the Matrix.
01:13:05Something that has never happened in the 23 years of top model competition.
01:13:09A tie between Ava Bennett and Claire Duvall.
01:13:12What? Seriously? Clearly, Latour has something going on with Claire.
01:13:25Really, Ava? Because last I checked, you and Judge Simon Blackwell have been getting a little too cozy and whoops, there's a mini Blackwell on the way.
01:13:35Yeah, she's expecting his baby.
01:13:38His baby? No, that's my baby.
01:13:42Hey, easy. Relax, man. Relax. Get a grip, both of you.
01:13:51Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's not turn this into a daytime drama, okay, people?
01:13:55We are here to crown a winner, which means we need a decisive vote.
01:13:59Top model competition rules state that in the event of a tie, we will have an independent third party determine who has won.
01:14:06So we are now bringing out the big guns.
01:14:08Christian Cross, CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment, you're up, sir.
01:14:21Mr. Cross, we'll now cast the tie breaking vote.
01:14:26So who will be the 23rd winner of the top model competition?
01:14:35There's only one person who embodies the grace, character and beauty of a top model.
01:14:43And that is Claire Duval.
01:14:54But I have a conflict of interest because Claire Duval is not just a top model contestant.
01:15:02She's also my wife, Claire Duval Cross.
01:15:19Seriously, this is so unfair. Of course she gets it. And all I have is.
01:15:33She was sleeping with him while she was with me. How dare she?
01:15:36Clue in Dylan. You need to do damage control. Grace Winthrop could pull our whole loan after this.
01:15:42We could lose everything. Detective Easter right here.
01:15:46Amanda Maxwell, Dylan Maxwell, you're both under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder.
01:15:50No, this is a mistake. Get your hands off me.
01:15:55Totally epic.
01:16:02Nicely done, my boy.
01:16:05What are you talking about?
01:16:08Are you going to tell her, Christian, or am I?
01:16:11Tell me what?
01:16:13Claire, the one that's standing next to you, the one you wed.
01:16:17He was my choice for you.
01:16:20I set you up with him five years ago.
01:16:26To think, Claire, all those years of defying me and you ended up exactly where I wanted you.
01:16:39Is this true? Is this true?
01:16:45Yes.
01:16:47Look, that day outside the courthouse, that wasn't a setup.
01:16:51Then why hide the connection to my grandmother? Why the lies?
01:16:54Because I knew how bad it looked, especially after Maxwell tried to use you.
01:16:58How can I believe you?
01:17:00Because we're meant to be together.
01:17:04Because we're meant to be together.
01:17:08Have you ever seen a mom come out on stage like you did up there?
01:17:11For a nobody.
01:17:12You're not a nobody.
01:17:14No one would take their eyes off of you.
01:17:21These last five years, I've had such bad luck.
01:17:24But since Christian came into my life, I think my luck has finally changed.
01:17:39This is real for me. Promise we'll never forget that.
01:17:44I promise.
01:17:48I promise.
01:17:53Whatever it is, fate, luck, whatever you want to call it, Christian, I'm all in.
01:18:08I've washed my hands of both of you.
01:18:22You ready to meet my family?
01:18:27Hey, fans. Reggie here. Big love to Bruno Lundy, who is recovering from his coma.
01:18:32This is nuts! Bruno just got out of his coma!
01:18:36How can he remember his name? He can't even remember mine!
01:18:39Shut up, Dylan. Shut up, Dylan. Shut up, Dylan!
01:18:43I want my lawyer! Now!
01:18:46Meanwhile, Ava B has quit modeling to focus on becoming a full-time mother.
01:18:50Yeah, couldn't even say that with a straight face.
01:18:53We all know what she's doing for money, don't we?
01:18:57Shut up, baby!
01:19:00Now, let's get to the real big news. The crosses are expected!
01:19:05That's right. You heard it here first. Claire D and Christian Cross are expecting a little mini-cross!
01:19:11I'm so excited!
01:19:16So, you can expect it to be epic!
01:19:20Be sure to subscribe and tune in to Real Shorts, of course, with Reggie here,
01:19:24so you can catch all the drama, all the tea, and all the supermodels saluting.
01:19:29Bye.
