FunTranscript
00:00:01I don't want a nanny. I want a mommy.
00:00:04My daddy has lots of money. All he has to do is marry him and be my mommy.
00:00:09Bella!
00:00:13But she's right about Bella needing a mom.
00:00:15I propose a pretend relationship.
00:00:18Do you have a deal?
00:00:19Oh, one other thing.
00:00:21Don't fall for me.
00:00:23Same goes for you.
00:00:25It's your ex-wife.
00:00:27I want my daughter.
00:00:28I'm twice the mother that you'll ever be.
00:00:31It's Bella!
00:00:32No, you're not. Everly is my mommy.
00:00:34So this is what a happy family looks like.
00:00:36I wonder if we could be a real family someday.
00:00:38Just the three of us.
00:00:40Daddy!
00:00:42Watch your back.
00:00:44Everly!
00:00:45What did you do with Bella? Who is this?
00:00:47I know that you could never harm Bella.
00:00:50Not because you're my wife, but because of your loving heart.
00:00:53Did he really mean that?
00:00:55His wife?
00:00:58No.
00:01:06Bella?
00:01:10Bella!
00:01:11Where did she go?
00:01:12The gardener says Miss Bella's not on the grounds.
00:01:15She's disappeared again.
00:01:17We'll tell the design team to go big or go home.
00:01:20We're not building some quaint bed and breakfast.
00:01:23This is a billion dollar Barlow resort on a private island off Dubai.
00:01:27We need to crush this.
00:01:29Crush! Crush! Crush!
00:01:32Steve, I have to call you back.
00:01:35How did you get in here, Bella?
00:01:38My little escape artist.
00:01:43What am I going to tell Mr. Barlow?
00:01:46Pulse alarm. She's here, everyone.
00:01:51Thank God!
00:01:53I only took my eyes off her for a second.
00:01:55She needs a leash.
00:01:57I'm not a dog.
00:01:58No, a dog behaves better.
00:02:01Daddy.
00:02:02Okay, everyone, let's get back to it.
00:02:04These decorations aren't going to put themselves up.
00:02:06Miss Delilah, I'm sorry. I will be hiring a new nanny soon.
00:02:10Well, how long do you think this one's going to last?
00:02:12She's scared off three in a year.
00:02:15I don't want a nanny. I want a mommy.
00:02:26I'm not ever leaving.
00:02:28Can you see? It's a circus out there.
00:02:30Like a literal freaking circus.
00:02:32Oh my God, there's jugglers, there's clowns, there's even a man on stilts.
00:02:35Can you imagine having a birthday like this when you were just eight years old?
00:02:38Foster kid here. I used to blow out imaginary candles and dream of real cake.
00:02:45This is my favorite part.
00:02:48Somebody's a little too in touch with their inner child.
00:02:51When your mother proposed this blind date, I was a little hesitant.
00:02:55I just couldn't believe that any man can live up to the image that she painted.
00:03:00Yes, she's very good at talking you up.
00:03:02In your case, she really didn't do you justice.
00:03:07I'd love to slip away from the crowd and get to know you better.
00:03:11You're at my eight-year-old's birthday party.
00:03:13I wasn't interested before, but now I want you to leave.
00:03:16Wait for it.
00:03:20Why, hello, Mother.
00:03:21Julian, Bianca is hysterical and you have embarrassed me.
00:03:26Well, stop setting me up with random women.
00:03:28I'm not getting married again. Once was enough.
00:03:30Kendra and the race car driver have ended it.
00:03:33Right now, you have sole custody of Bella.
00:03:36I'm not getting married again.
00:03:38I'm not getting married again.
00:03:40I'm not getting married again.
00:03:42I'm not getting married again.
00:03:44You have sole custody of Bella.
00:03:46But the courts favor the mother, Julian.
00:03:48You and I both know Kendra could show up at any time
00:03:51and demand that Bella live with her just to spite you.
00:03:54I'm not letting that witch anywhere near my daughter.
00:03:57Find yourself a wife and show the world a stable family.
00:04:01Not for your own happiness, but for your child's.
00:04:09Mother might be dramatic, but she's right about Bella needing a mom.
00:04:13Perhaps a fake wife would do.
00:04:17Got vanilla for you.
00:04:20What's your favorite flavor?
00:04:22Chocolate!
00:04:24So, do you want to know what makes everything taste so good?
00:04:28The secret ingredient is...
00:04:33love.
00:04:43Girl, I'm so exhausted. I'm heading home. You coming?
00:04:46Let's stay and finish the engagement cake for tomorrow.
00:04:48Okay.
00:04:50Hey, Bernie!
00:04:52Let me grab you the day holds.
00:05:00Tell Rose and Pete I included the pecan cinnamon rolls just for them.
00:05:14Oh my gosh!
00:05:16You scared me!
00:05:18Where did you come from, sweetheart?
00:05:20Where are your parents?
00:05:21Are you lost?
00:05:24What's your name?
00:05:25I'm Everly.
00:05:28You don't want to tell me, huh?
00:05:31Guess I'll just have to guess.
00:05:33Your name is Olga.
00:05:37Bertrand.
00:05:39Ew!
00:05:40Prudence.
00:05:41Hazel.
00:05:42Constant.
00:05:43Phyllis.
00:05:44Henrietta?
00:05:47Bertha.
00:05:48It's Bella!
00:05:51The birthday girl.
00:05:52She must have stowed away in the truck.
00:05:54Bella!
00:06:01You scared me, Bella Barlow.
00:06:04Sorry, Daddy.
00:06:05What were you thinking?
00:06:06I found my mommy!
00:06:12I'm so sorry.
00:06:13She's never done anything like this.
00:06:15I want Everly to be my mommy.
00:06:17Bella Munchkin, please.
00:06:20You know, my daddy has lots of money.
00:06:23All you have to do is marry him and be my mommy.
00:06:26Bella, you don't marry someone for money.
00:06:29You do it because you love them so much.
00:06:32And it feels like they're a part of you.
00:06:35Like you can't picture your life without them in it.
00:06:39I know you're supposed to be my mommy.
00:06:43I'm engaged to someone else.
00:06:46Come on, Bella.
00:06:48We've taken up enough of Miss Harper's time.
00:06:59So a hot guy and a cute little girl were like,
00:07:01come be my insta-family?
00:07:03The little girl was.
00:07:04The dad was kind of mortified.
00:07:06Bella reminds me of what I was like after the car accident.
00:07:09Kept going up to perfect strangers, looking for my parents.
00:07:13Just couldn't accept that they were gone.
00:07:19Hey, beautiful. I miss you already.
00:07:21When are you back from your business trip?
00:07:23I'm back Monday. We'll see each other then.
00:07:26Are you calling me from the bathroom?
00:07:29No, the guests next door are just really loud.
00:07:33I gotta go. I love you.
00:07:37Hello, Earth to Everly.
00:07:40Hi.
00:07:41I was just thinking about what I told the little girl.
00:07:43All the reasons you marry someone,
00:07:45but I've never actually felt any of those things.
00:07:48Well, you better decide sooner rather than later.
00:07:50Well, Nolan and I have been together since high school.
00:07:53Loyalty counts for something.
00:07:55At least what we have is real.
00:07:58Okay, this hotel is huge.
00:08:00Where is the engagement party being held?
00:08:02Uh, restaurant.
00:08:04Okay, yes.
00:08:09I'm bored.
00:08:10I'm sorry, Munchkin, but after yesterday,
00:08:12I'm not letting you out of my sight.
00:08:14Bella was bad.
00:08:15Bella was very bad.
00:08:17But I'll take you to get ice cream if you're very good.
00:08:21I'm not a good cook.
00:08:23I'm not a good cook.
00:08:25But I'll take you to get ice cream if you're very good.
00:08:29I want cupcake.
00:08:31Nice try, kiddo.
00:08:33Okay.
00:08:52That must be the bride-to-be.
00:08:54Hey, delivery for the lovely bride.
00:08:56Can I just get your signature on this really quick?
00:09:03Oh, my gosh.
00:09:05Everly.
00:09:07Well, you haven't changed a bit since high school, huh?
00:09:11Still a pathetic orphan with no money?
00:09:14Or taste?
00:09:16Olivia, this is your engagement party?
00:09:20Who would marry a raging bully like you?
00:09:22Everly, what are you doing here?
00:09:28Nolan, I...
00:09:30I don't understand.
00:09:32Isn't it obvious, you ignorant nobody?
00:09:36Nolan's been cheating on you.
00:09:39With me.
00:09:47Is it true, Nolan?
00:09:49Leah, I can explain.
00:09:50No, is it true?
00:09:52You've been sleeping with Olivia?
00:09:55You saw how she treated me.
00:09:57She made my high school life a living hell.
00:09:59And now you hate her just as much as I do.
00:10:02Well, if that's hate sex,
00:10:04then sign me up for a lifetime of it.
00:10:09Nolan's a sexy beast, aren't you, darling?
00:10:12Oh, but you wouldn't know about that, Everly.
00:10:15Being the pity fuck that you are.
00:10:18You set this whole thing up, didn't you, Olivia?
00:10:21Did you think you could date both of us?
00:10:23Marry both of us?
00:10:25No.
00:10:27Well, then you have to choose.
00:10:29You can be with me and live the good life,
00:10:32or you could be with this dirty orphan,
00:10:36who will always be poor, pathetic white trash
00:10:40her entire life,
00:10:42and who will drag you down with her.
00:10:48I'm sorry.
00:10:50I'm sorry, Everly. I just...
00:10:52I can't be poor.
00:10:54I can't.
00:10:56I'm so sorry.
00:11:05This isn't happening.
00:11:07I'm in some kind of post-high school nightmare
00:11:09where the mean girl still wins.
00:11:15I don't like her. She's mean.
00:11:17Hello, where did you come from?
00:11:20Is she an evil witch?
00:11:22You little shit.
00:11:23Who the hell let this wretched brat in here?
00:11:26Watch your mouth, Olivia.
00:11:28You can't talk to her like that.
00:11:31I can say whatever the hell I want.
00:11:34And both of you, get out.
00:11:36And take this disgusting cake with you.
00:11:39It's garbage, just like you.
00:11:44What are you, crazy? You could have hurt her.
00:11:46Too bad I missed.
00:11:51Oh, my goodness.
00:11:53Get off me.
00:11:57Choke on it, bitch.
00:12:02Bitch.
00:12:03I'm gonna destroy you.
00:12:05Good luck with that.
00:12:07You already tried in high school, but I'm stronger now.
00:12:09Keep rolling with my blessing.
00:12:12Nolan, do something.
00:12:15Everly?
00:12:17Take it off her.
00:12:19Hey.
00:12:23Touch my kid and you're dead.
00:12:25Who the hell are you?
00:12:27I'm with her.
00:12:28Since when?
00:12:29That's none of your business.
00:12:33Oh, hold still.
00:12:35You have some frost in there.
00:12:38Babes, stop. Don't.
00:12:40That's Julian Barlow.
00:12:42Heir of Barlow Hotels and Resorts.
00:12:45He owns this very hotel.
00:12:47You're lucky I don't sue you both for attempting to assault a minor.
00:12:50I didn't know it was your kid.
00:12:52She's a poor girl. Hurting her is okay?
00:12:54This party's over.
00:12:55You two are banned for life from every Barlow property in the world.
00:13:00So this is what having someone stand up for you feels like?
00:13:08They were bad, Daddy.
00:13:10There's a lot of bad people out there.
00:13:11That's why you can't run off the way you did.
00:13:13That's how I really wanted to be with her.
00:13:17You need some rest.
00:13:19Go to the car.
00:13:21I love you, Andrew.
00:13:28Thank you for protecting my daughter.
00:13:30Thank you for saving me from my cheating ex-fiancé.
00:13:38That sounds like a desperate man trying to win you back.
00:13:41Yeah.
00:13:43Not happening.
00:13:46Seems we have a problem, Miss Harper.
00:13:49My daughter's heart is set on you being her mother.
00:13:55You also have a problem with your ex not getting the message.
00:13:59I propose a pretend relationship.
00:14:02Like a fake marriage?
00:14:04Exactly.
00:14:05I can protect you from your ex-fiancé,
00:14:07and you can help me protect Bella from herself and my ex,
00:14:10if she comes back into town.
00:14:12Is your ex really that bad?
00:14:14Kendra makes your high school nemesis look like a teddy bear.
00:14:18Do we have a deal?
00:14:19What if you want to be with someone for real?
00:14:22I won't.
00:14:24I've sworn I'm not going to get married again.
00:14:34Look at this, Mr. Barlow.
00:14:36You have a deal.
00:14:39Tomorrow night is the annual charity gala.
00:14:42Black Tie.
00:14:43There we'll introduce you to society.
00:14:46Well, uh, why don't we start out slow?
00:14:50No, my mother will know if we don't show up as newlyweds.
00:14:53Didn't you say she lives in Paris?
00:14:55I'm sorry, I'm not from Paris.
00:14:57I'm from New York.
00:14:58I'm from New York.
00:14:59I'm from New York.
00:15:00I'm from New York.
00:15:01I'm from New York.
00:15:02I'm from New York.
00:15:03I'm from New York.
00:15:04I'm from New York.
00:15:05I'm from New York.
00:15:06I'm from New York.
00:15:07I'm from Paris.
00:15:08She has spies everywhere.
00:15:11Did you go to the gala with me?
00:15:14I don't know, Julian.
00:15:16I'm more flower than flair.
00:15:20We have a boutique at the hotel.
00:15:23I think the right dress will ease some of your stress.
00:15:27I'm still super uncomfortable with all this.
00:15:31I don't want to embarrass you at the gala.
00:15:34Are you always going to be this touchy about my money?
00:15:37Most women can't wait to spend it.
00:15:39I'm a baker, not a socialite.
00:15:42You've been hanging out with the wrong crowd.
00:15:47Maybe I have.
00:15:50Do you mind?
00:15:51My mother will want a picture of the newlyweds.
00:16:02Oh, one other thing.
00:16:05Don't fall for me.
00:16:08Same goes for you.
00:16:22Well, hello, mother.
00:16:24You're married?
00:16:25Who is this girl?
00:16:27Her name is Everly Harper.
00:16:29She's a sous chef.
00:16:31Cordon Bleu trained, but she calls herself a baker.
00:16:34Ridiculous.
00:16:37Well, her parents died when she was six,
00:16:40and since then she's had no relatives.
00:16:43She became a ward of the state
00:16:45and bounced around foster care,
00:16:48never really having a permanent home.
00:16:50So she's an orphan without social connections.
00:16:53What are her financials?
00:16:55Well, she has some student loan debt,
00:16:57and her business is barely making it.
00:16:59Despite that, she's won numerous awards
00:17:02and competitions for her.
00:17:04Oh, my God, she's dirt poor.
00:17:07You've married a gold digger, Julian.
00:17:10Well, to be honest, my wealth is probably a bad thing in this case.
00:17:14She'd rather me be middle class.
00:17:16Well, then she's a fool.
00:17:18Who wouldn't want a billionaire husband?
00:17:20Well, Bella chose her to be her mother.
00:17:25Well, I'm just upset that my only son
00:17:27didn't inform me he was married.
00:17:29We'll be in touch.
00:17:35That went exactly as expected.
00:17:38Yay! I really get to meet my new mommy!
00:17:41I should start calling you my little spy.
00:17:43When does she move in?
00:17:45Um, I'm not sure.
00:17:47We haven't had that discussion.
00:17:49And she's going to bake me more magical cookies filled with love.
00:17:53Has she done that before?
00:17:56Well, yes, soon she'll be here,
00:17:58and she'll bake you many things full of love.
00:18:01Yay! Yay!
00:18:08Wait, you fake Mary and Julie and Barlow?
00:18:12I know, it's insane.
00:18:14Oh, my God, you do know that your hubby
00:18:16is worth like $100 billion, right?
00:18:18Very funny.
00:18:20He did?
00:18:22Okay, whoa.
00:18:24I've never seen that many zeros in one spot.
00:18:26Oh, my God, Bestie!
00:18:28You're literally married to one of the richest dudes on the planet.
00:18:31Olivia and her totes are totally going to flip out.
00:18:33We have to go to the high school reunion next weekend.
00:18:35I thought you said we were skipping that.
00:18:37Uh-uh, uh-uh, not anymore.
00:18:39We are going.
00:18:41Oh, come on, please, please, please.
00:18:43Think about it.
00:18:45Yay!
00:18:47Why would someone like him even want a pretend marriage?
00:18:49I mean, he's charming,
00:18:51handsome,
00:18:53brilliant, and a good dad.
00:18:55Like, he could easily find a real wife.
00:18:57Maybe he's just avoiding commitment.
00:18:59You know, classic playboy move.
00:19:01He doesn't strike me as that type.
00:19:03Look at you, playing the little protective wife already.
00:19:06Shut up.
00:19:08So, when does Miss Barlow make her big debut?
00:19:11Tonight, actually.
00:19:14Care to help me find a dress for some exclusive gala?
00:19:17Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
00:19:19This is the most exclusive credit card.
00:19:21That's all credit cards.
00:19:22You can buy an island with this thing.
00:19:24I'm going to be sick.
00:19:25Oh, my God.
00:19:26I'll have to find a way to give it back to him.
00:19:28Everly Harper, you will do no such thing.
00:19:30Can you please just be a little selfish for the both of us
00:19:33and live a little?
00:19:36You're right.
00:19:38Let's do this.
00:19:40Yay!
00:19:48Okay, I can't do this.
00:19:50$40,000 for a dress is insane.
00:19:52You could feed an entire village for that price.
00:19:54Yeah, crazy world we live in.
00:19:56Hello, ladies.
00:19:57My name is Pilar.
00:19:59Should we try something on?
00:20:01It appears to be your size,
00:20:03but I do have a seamstress on standby.
00:20:05Can I maybe rent it instead?
00:20:07Rent?
00:20:09That'll be $1,000 a day,
00:20:12plus a $4,000 security deposit.
00:20:15Can you afford that?
00:20:18Oh, my goodness.
00:20:20What manual labor job do you do?
00:20:22I'm a baker.
00:20:24Absolutely no rental for you.
00:20:26Those rough worker hands will snag the delicate fabric.
00:20:29There's a thrift store down the way
00:20:32that might be more at your speed.
00:20:34You don't understand.
00:20:36I'm attending the annual Celestial Charity Gala tonight.
00:20:38It's strictly black tie.
00:20:40What are you doing at Celestial,
00:20:42the most exclusive event in town?
00:20:44I know.
00:20:46You must be a waitress handing out caravans.
00:20:48Just buy it, then.
00:20:53This is a black heart.
00:20:55Obviously.
00:20:58Held up at boutique.
00:21:00Not going too well.
00:21:04Well, well, well.
00:21:06This card belongs to Mr. Barlow.
00:21:08How did it end up in your hands?
00:21:10Mr. Barlow happens to be my best friend's husband.
00:21:14As if.
00:21:16You must have stolen it.
00:21:18Security, arrest these scammers
00:21:20for identity theft and fraud.
00:21:22Get your hands off of her, you animal.
00:21:26Let us...
00:21:30We're not thieves.
00:21:32You're making a mistake.
00:21:33The card was given to me.
00:21:34We're innocent.
00:21:40Get this trash out of my face.
00:21:44Let them go.
00:21:52Mr. Barlow, you're right on time.
00:21:54Okay, I just caught these scammers
00:21:56trying to charge $5,000 to your card.
00:21:58$5,000?
00:21:59When have you ever sold a dress under 30 grand?
00:22:01That was me.
00:22:03I was trying to rent it and said,
00:22:05no dress is worth that much.
00:22:06Are you kidding me?
00:22:08Don't fall for this innocent act.
00:22:09She's a clever scammer.
00:22:11Do you see anything you like?
00:22:13This one.
00:22:14But we were told to shop at the thrift shop.
00:22:17I'm Samantha, by the way.
00:22:18I've heard so much about you.
00:22:20Pleasure to meet you, Samantha.
00:22:22Flora, my wife was looking to outfit herself
00:22:24for tonight's gala entirely through your boutique.
00:22:27Unfortunately, you cut up our card.
00:22:33So she...
00:22:35She really is your...
00:22:38wife?
00:22:39Mr. Barlow, we believe in treating everyone
00:22:41with respect and dignity.
00:22:43Isn't your lease up in 30 days?
00:22:46Mr. Barlow, I am so, so sorry.
00:22:49Okay, Mrs. Barlow, please, here.
00:22:51Take the dress. It's on the house.
00:22:53It's not necessary.
00:22:55Just bill my account.
00:22:58And Barlow won't renew your lease.
00:23:01Not here, not anywhere.
00:23:03You're done, Pilar.
00:23:05I'll make sure you never work in retail again.
00:23:10Oh.
00:23:12Oh!
00:23:29I realize right now this is the first time
00:23:31I'm seeing the real Evelyn.
00:23:33You've been hiding in plain sight.
00:23:35Julian, Julian, look over here.
00:23:37Mr. Barlow for the night?
00:23:39What's the name, man?
00:23:41I got you.
00:23:42Mr. Barlow, what's your name?
00:23:55I feel like I don't fit in here.
00:23:58You don't fit in, Evelyn.
00:24:00You stand out.
00:24:01Don't be so obvious, Everly.
00:24:03You can't let yourself fall for him.
00:24:05It's true, everyone here is rich.
00:24:07But they're all human.
00:24:09Flaws and all.
00:24:12That's Chase and Daisy Harrington.
00:24:14They're in banking.
00:24:15I don't think you mean they work at the Teller window.
00:24:18Chase can often be found at the dog trunk.
00:24:20And Daisy's a lush.
00:24:22She's probably spiked her wine with vodka already.
00:24:24Julian, that's awful.
00:24:26And that's Lily Blake Dubois.
00:24:28And her second husband.
00:24:30He's 25 years her junior.
00:24:32Men date women who are younger than them all the time.
00:24:34She was the PTA president.
00:24:36And he was in ninth grade.
00:24:37With her son, when they met.
00:24:39When they started their affair.
00:24:41Oh my god.
00:24:42Okay, stop. I get it.
00:24:44I am no longer intimidated by anyone in here.
00:24:46Mission accomplished.
00:24:49Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:24:53Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:24:57I'm too old for surprises, mother.
00:24:59You flew from Paris for nothing.
00:25:01Nothing?
00:25:03You're making a fool of yourself with this gold digger.
00:25:06Miss Barlow, let's get two things straight.
00:25:09One, my name is Everly Harper.
00:25:12And two, I am not a gold digger.
00:25:15I've earned my keep since I was six years old.
00:25:17And I started my business from scratch.
00:25:19I don't need your money.
00:25:21But I would like your respect.
00:25:23So, I won't let anyone talk down to me.
00:25:26Even if you are Julian's mother.
00:25:28Impudent girl.
00:25:29Meddling mother.
00:25:30Huh?
00:25:33Aren't you going to say anything?
00:25:36Meddling mother.
00:25:37I couldn't have put it better myself.
00:25:41I don't know what you did to trick my son into marriage.
00:25:44But I have my eye on you, Everly Harper.
00:25:47One false move, and you are through.
00:25:50Alright, that's enough.
00:25:52Enjoy your evening alone, mother.
00:26:01The End
00:26:04Everly, I want to apologize.
00:26:08My mother was out of line.
00:26:10She didn't expect it either.
00:26:11She's so determined, she won't back down.
00:26:14We need to make sure she doesn't start digging into the details of our marriage.
00:26:18So, what's our next steps?
00:26:21I want you to move in with me.
00:26:25It was going to happen sooner or later.
00:26:27Mother just expedited it.
00:26:30That goes to the kitchen.
00:26:33Living room.
00:26:34Living room.
00:26:36It's just all moving a little too fast.
00:26:38I mean, one minute Julian's asking me to move in with him,
00:26:41and the next, movers are packing my stuff.
00:26:43But you gotta love a man that takes action, you know?
00:26:45You are oddly chipper about all this.
00:26:47I mean, here I was feeling bad about leaving you to find a new roommate.
00:26:50I don't know, I think I'm going to try living alone for a while.
00:26:52Samantha, how can you afford that?
00:26:54The new landlord lowered everyone's rent.
00:26:56Since when?
00:26:57Since you became his fake bride.
00:27:00He knew that you feel bad for me,
00:27:02and so he bought the entire apartment complex
00:27:04and lowered everyone's rent.
00:27:06That's...
00:27:08That's romantic.
00:27:11Everly, billionaires don't think like normal people, sweetie.
00:27:14This is your life now.
00:27:15You need to get used to it, okay?
00:27:23Are we going to have gazpacho for dinner?
00:27:25If it pleases Miss Bella to have gazpacho.
00:27:28Hello!
00:27:29Okay, what can I get you today?
00:27:32You're welcome.
00:27:40Shouldn't take me longer than two days to inspect the site in Indonesia.
00:27:43Are you sure you can watch Bella?
00:27:45I haven't hired a nanny yet,
00:27:47and she tires Miss Delaney out.
00:27:49Don't worry about us.
00:27:50You focus on work.
00:27:51Bella and I will be just fine.
00:27:53I'll take you to the bakery with me.
00:27:54She'll have a blast.
00:27:56Here's a detailed list of her routines.
00:27:58Do's and don'ts.
00:27:59Allergies.
00:28:00Emergency contact information.
00:28:02All the information you'll ever need.
00:28:04Love soccer.
00:28:05Allergic to strawberries.
00:28:07Doctor's number.
00:28:08I'm impressed.
00:28:09I wouldn't have thought a CEO like you
00:28:11would be this hands-on with this kid.
00:28:13Well, you thought wrong.
00:28:14Bella means the world to me.
00:28:17Daddy,
00:28:18why are you staring at Emily like that?
00:28:21You like her.
00:28:23Sorry, she doesn't know what she's talking about.
00:28:25Sometimes kids have a way of knowing the truth.
00:28:28They also have a way of being annoying.
00:28:30Well, anyways,
00:28:31me and Bun Bun wanted to play airplane.
00:28:34All right, Munchkin.
00:28:35Get on the plane.
00:28:36Okay.
00:28:37Bye.
00:28:38Bye.
00:28:39Bye.
00:28:40Bye.
00:28:41Bye.
00:28:42Bye.
00:28:43Bye.
00:28:44Bye.
00:28:45All right, Munchkin.
00:28:46You have one minute.
00:28:48Yippee!
00:28:50Ready?
00:28:51Yeah!
00:28:56So this is what a happy family looks like.
00:28:59Looks so nice.
00:29:01I wonder if we could be a real family someday.
00:29:03Just the three of us.
00:29:09Okay, chef.
00:29:10What's on the menu today?
00:29:13Chocolate cupcakes.
00:29:14And chocolate donuts.
00:29:16And chocolate cake.
00:29:18Oh, and chocolate chip cookies.
00:29:20I'm sensing a chocolate theme.
00:29:22Okay, time to get to work, chef.
00:29:24Yippee, chef!
00:29:30Ta-da!
00:29:31What do you think, chef?
00:29:36I can taste the love.
00:29:37What?
00:29:38The magic ingredient.
00:29:39I can taste it.
00:29:41That's good.
00:29:45Everyone, do you like my dad?
00:29:49Of course I like him.
00:29:51He's a great guy and a good dad.
00:29:53So you could become my mommy for real?
00:29:56Bella, I don't know what the future holds,
00:30:00but I know you have a very special place in my heart, okay?
00:30:04Okay.
00:30:06Whoa, that was fast.
00:30:09Okay, time for a rest.
00:30:14Daddy!
00:30:23Oh my God, I'm falling for him.
00:30:28Daddy!
00:30:30Did you miss me, Munchkin?
00:30:33Did you miss me, Munchkin?
00:30:35So much, but Everly's the best.
00:30:37I got to be a chef.
00:30:39And we had a movie marathon.
00:30:41And I got to sleep in sheep tents in the living room.
00:30:44And we ate in the kitchen with Mrs. Delaney,
00:30:47who was all frowny, but then she was all smiley.
00:30:50I like the kitchen better than the dining room.
00:30:52Can we eat there from now on?
00:30:54I see you've made some changes.
00:30:56Very minor ones.
00:30:58Oops, did I say something bad?
00:31:00Munchkin, Daddy's just learning his little set in his ways.
00:31:03You can do everything, Dad, but you're a bad cook.
00:31:06And Everly's way better at girl stuff.
00:31:08You're like the prince, and Everly's the princess,
00:31:10and we can all live happily ever after,
00:31:13with one another, of course.
00:31:19Kids and their fairy tales.
00:31:21She'll understand that we can't be more than a pretend couple when she's older.
00:31:25Of course. She's still too little.
00:31:28They can't be more than a pretend couple.
00:31:30Right. It felt so real.
00:31:32I let myself forget it was a fake marriage.
00:31:35It can never be anything more.
00:31:44My God. You have to go.
00:31:46Oh, come on. Olivia and Nolan are going to gossip about us if you do not show your face tomorrow.
00:31:50They are going to do that regardless.
00:31:52Okay, I'm sorry, Sammy. I thought about it, and I don't want to go to our high school reunion.
00:31:56Okay, hear me out. Just picture this.
00:31:58You walk in with your new, hot, billionaire husband.
00:32:01It's the perfect revenge for the mean girls that used to call us poor losers.
00:32:04No, I would never use Julian in that way.
00:32:06Well, if the thing is, I already told them that you would be there with him.
00:32:10Shh.
00:32:11Oh, don't get upset. Don't get upset.
00:32:13It's just that Olivia posted that we were lying skinks,
00:32:15and that I could have just blew it from there.
00:32:17And then all of a sudden...
00:32:18Samantha, you make everything ten times worse.
00:32:20Don't worry. I'll go with you.
00:32:21I can't let my wife be humiliated.
00:32:23I came by to take you to dinner as a thank you for helping me with Bella.
00:32:28Did he really mean that? His wife?
00:32:31You should take the day off tomorrow and go pamper yourself.
00:32:34I'll make the arrangements with the hotel spa.
00:32:36On one condition. Can you make the reservation for two?
00:32:41I can do that.
00:32:49I want to get my nails done, too.
00:32:51What color do you want to get, Bella?
00:32:53The exact same as you.
00:32:54I also want to get some for Bun Bun.
00:32:56Mm-hmm.
00:32:57He looks great with those.
00:32:58You're so adorable.
00:33:00How could any mother abandon you?
00:33:03I wish you were really mine.
00:33:10Oh, my.
00:33:11Mr. Barlow said that you might need some help getting into it.
00:33:16I can't wear that, Miss Delaney.
00:33:18It's too beautiful and definitely way too expensive.
00:33:21Nonsense, dear.
00:33:23Mr. Barlow said to tell you you're the only one that can do it justice.
00:33:31Now, let's see it on you.
00:33:40I want to thank you for the dress.
00:33:42I'll find a way to pay you back.
00:33:44Seeing you in it is payment enough.
00:33:46You are drop-dead gorgeous, Everly.
00:33:49It's not me. It's the dress.
00:33:51Why do you do that?
00:33:53Why do you downplay your beauty?
00:33:55I don't like to draw attention to myself.
00:33:58You shouldn't have to dim your light to make others feel good about themselves.
00:34:03Mr. Barlow, sir, there is a visitor here demanding to speak with you.
00:34:08I'm not expecting anyone.
00:34:10It's your ex-wife.
00:34:16It's your ex-wife.
00:34:20I'm not expecting anyone.
00:34:22It's your ex-wife.
00:34:27It's your ex-wife.
00:34:33It's your ex-wife.
00:34:37I put Miss Rossi in the guest room.
00:34:39Where's Bella?
00:34:40She's with Miss Delaney in the playroom.
00:34:42Good. We need to keep Bella away from Kendra.
00:34:46I have to deal with her. I'll join you at the reunion when I'm done.
00:34:49I can just not go.
00:34:50No, Kendra is not going to disrupt our plans.
00:34:52My driver will take you there. I promise.
00:34:58It's been so long, Julian.
00:35:00Not long enough for what you want.
00:35:02I want my daughter. I want Bella.
00:35:12I heard Everly is coming to the reunion.
00:35:15I thought that she would never show her face here ever again.
00:35:19Everly? The foster kid weirdo?
00:35:22Yeah, well, she destroyed my engagement party, so I'm going to destroy her tonight.
00:35:26Didn't Samantha say she's married to Julian Barlow?
00:35:29What if he's going to come with her?
00:35:31He might fuck her, but a Barlow is not going to marry trash like her.
00:35:51She should be mine.
00:36:00Eyes on me, Nolan.
00:36:01They really did recreate senior prom.
00:36:03Yep, all the ways with the tacky decorations and the cheesy DJ.
00:36:07Last time I was here, I was with Nolan.
00:36:09My foster mom at the time helped make my dress, and it looked it.
00:36:13We didn't even get our first dance before Olivia told everyone I had an STD.
00:36:17That's right, and then Nolan couldn't take it and he bailed.
00:36:20We should have known then that he was a dick.
00:36:22Yeah, I forgave him.
00:36:23No one could stand up for Olivia, myself included at that time.
00:36:27Let's slay this bitch. I mean the dance, of course.
00:36:31That dress looks like it cost a fortune.
00:36:35What do you think, Olivia? You're a fashion expert.
00:36:38It can't be the Nightingale of Hanoi.
00:36:41That dress is worth millions.
00:36:44It's just a cheap knockoff.
00:36:46Come on, girls. Let's give Everly a high school reunion she'll never forget.
00:36:52Let's give Everly a high school reunion she'll never forget.
00:36:57Hey, where's your husband?
00:36:59Julian's on his way.
00:37:00Shut up, loser. No one's talking to you.
00:37:02Bitch.
00:37:03Give it up, Everly. We all know he got bored and dumped you.
00:37:10Like, okay.
00:37:12Did you just fucking shrug at me?
00:37:15Mm-hmm.
00:37:16Apparently you've forgotten your place.
00:37:18Must be that dress giving you attitude, but it's a cheap knockoff just like you.
00:37:23I don't think it's a knockoff.
00:37:25It's a gift from my husband.
00:37:27Give it up, bitch.
00:37:29We all know you're lying, your husband, your dress.
00:37:33I call bullshit.
00:37:34Grow up, Olivia.
00:37:36You're too old to still be a mean girl.
00:37:48Hey, no, no, no.
00:37:49Let go of me, Nolan.
00:37:50Get your hands off of her.
00:37:52Just because you're fucking a Barlow doesn't make you royalty.
00:37:56Take that fake dress off, or I'll take it off for you.
00:38:00What makes you think it's fake?
00:38:01You clueless bitch.
00:38:03I'm a fashion influencer.
00:38:06With 1.8 million followers, you expect me to believe that white trash like you
00:38:13are wearing the Nightingale of Hanoi gown valued at $10 million?
00:38:20That's why Julian grinned when I said I'd pay him back for the dress.
00:38:24Take it off.
00:38:30Hey, no.
00:38:31Get off of her.
00:38:36Let go.
00:38:37No.
00:38:39No.
00:38:40No.
00:38:41Abner, wait.
00:38:42No.
00:38:46Stop.
00:38:47Get away from my wife.
00:38:50Get away from my wife.
00:39:04I'm sorry I'm late.
00:39:05The dress is ruined.
00:39:07Please tell me it wasn't worth millions of dollars.
00:39:10I can't tell you that.
00:39:12Apologize to my wife, now.
00:39:14We were just joking.
00:39:16You know.
00:39:17Fooling around.
00:39:18My wife was on the ground, soaking wet.
00:39:20Dress torn.
00:39:21What you did was battery and harassment.
00:39:23My lawyer's not going to think that's funny.
00:39:25I sure as hell don't.
00:39:26Lawyers?
00:39:28Who the hell are you?
00:39:30That's Julian Barlow.
00:39:31He's one of the richest men in the world.
00:39:33Do you know how much this dress is worth?
00:39:36Every bead is a genuine, flawless diamond.
00:39:39Miss St. James, you just ruined a $10 million gown.
00:39:42Oh, shit.
00:39:45No.
00:39:46No.
00:39:47No.
00:39:48That can't be.
00:39:49You better start liquidating all your assets,
00:39:51including your parents' house,
00:39:52because the insurance company is coming for your ass.
00:39:54Then the police.
00:39:56Good luck finding a job in fashion
00:39:58after ruining one of the most famous dresses in the world.
00:40:02That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:40:07That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:40:09You did this.
00:40:11You set me up.
00:40:13You set me up.
00:40:14You did it to yourself.
00:40:16Nolan, do something.
00:40:18I left the woman I love because you said we'd be rich,
00:40:21and now you have nothing.
00:40:23You piece of shit.
00:40:24Nope.
00:40:29Don't do this.
00:40:31Please don't do this.
00:40:32I'm not the one you need to beg for forgiveness.
00:40:40I'm sorry, Everly.
00:40:42I never should have tormented you all of those years.
00:40:45You didn't deserve it.
00:40:47Then why did you do it?
00:40:50Why me?
00:40:53Why me?
00:40:54Because even with your shitty clothes,
00:40:57your terrible hair,
00:40:59you were still beautiful.
00:41:01Everyone could see it.
00:41:03I would kill to look like you,
00:41:05and you treated it like it was nothing.
00:41:07So you hated me because I was pretty
00:41:10and didn't shove it in people's faces?
00:41:12That is so messed up.
00:41:14Yeah.
00:41:15Well, I was right to hate you.
00:41:18Look at you.
00:41:19You bagged a billionaire without even trying.
00:41:22Everly is beautiful inside and out.
00:41:25That's what draws people to her.
00:41:27You're done here.
00:41:28I'm not going to push any criminal charges,
00:41:30but the insurance company will be reaching out.
00:41:32You're on the hook for that dress.
00:41:34Oh, my God.
00:41:36I never thought that I'd see this in a lifetime.
00:41:38Please pinch me and tell me that I'm not dreaming.
00:41:40If you are, so am I.
00:41:43You want to get out of here?
00:41:45Yes, please.
00:42:00Bitches.
00:42:01Who knew that high school reunions would be this fun?
00:42:09Thank you for what you did.
00:42:11Never has anyone come to my rescue before.
00:42:14I enjoy doing it.
00:42:16You matter to me, Everly.
00:42:19Me and Bella.
00:42:21Hey.
00:42:22Of course.
00:42:23I understand.
00:42:25Thank you again.
00:42:26Have a good night, Julian.
00:42:28Everly, wait.
00:42:29That came out wrong.
00:42:31What I meant was...
00:42:34I have feelings for you.
00:42:36And I don't want to lead you on.
00:42:38Kendra's betrayal of our marriage,
00:42:40it broke something inside of me,
00:42:42and I don't think I can commit to another woman.
00:42:47I just want to be with you.
00:42:50I'm not asking for anything else.
00:42:52You're so amazing, Julian,
00:42:54and I like everything about you.
00:42:56You just...
00:43:07Fuck.
00:43:15Sir, is that you?
00:43:17I heard a noise.
00:43:20Yes, Mr. Gibson.
00:43:22You can go to bed.
00:43:23Yes, sir. Good night, sir.
00:43:25Ma'am.
00:43:27Fuck, that was embarrassing.
00:43:28I haven't got caught like that since I was a little school boy.
00:43:31Do you think he saw us?
00:43:33He probably did, but he's not going to say anything.
00:43:37I want nothing more than to take you upstairs right now.
00:43:41Me too.
00:43:42You're so honest, Everly.
00:43:44It's one of the many things I admire about you.
00:43:46And although it's going to kill me,
00:43:50I want you to go to bed.
00:43:52You're too noble.
00:43:55No one's ever said that to me before.
00:43:59Good night, sweetheart.
00:44:03Go.
00:44:04Before I change my mind.
00:44:09Did that just happen?
00:44:11Am I actually dating Julian Barlow?
00:44:18This is nice.
00:44:20Just holding your hand.
00:44:24What are we going to tell Bella?
00:44:25I don't want to get her hopes up.
00:44:27But we are dating now.
00:44:29Change of steps.
00:44:30We have to put her first.
00:44:33Have you always thought of others at the expense of yourself?
00:44:36That's why I was bullied so much growing up.
00:44:38And why people take advantage of me.
00:44:40Don't say that.
00:44:42You're the best person I know, Everly.
00:44:44And now you have me.
00:44:46And I promise I won't let anyone hurt you anymore.
00:44:56So you think you can replace me with this whore, Julian?
00:44:59Let's see how that works out when I get through with the both of you.
00:45:08So, this is your latest slut.
00:45:10Kendra, are you following me?
00:45:12I'm Bella's mother.
00:45:13I need to know what her father is doing.
00:45:15And who.
00:45:16Kissed me.
00:45:18So you fuck the help now, Julian?
00:45:20Who I'm with is none of your business.
00:45:22You gave that right up three years ago when you cheated on me with my best friend.
00:45:25Then you abandoned your daughter and went to Europe with some tennis pro at a club.
00:45:29That was ages ago.
00:45:31I've changed now.
00:45:33I'm ready to be a wife and mother.
00:45:35And you can't let this homewrecker get in the way of what we can have.
00:45:39Everly is my wife now.
00:45:41And stay away from Bella.
00:45:42You don't have visitation rights.
00:45:46Oh, we'll see about that.
00:45:48I'm Bella's birth mother.
00:45:50That's never going to change.
00:45:53I can't lose my daughter.
00:45:55You won't. We'll fight it together.
00:46:06Hello, sir.
00:46:08What can I get for you today?
00:46:10I need to ask a favor of you.
00:46:12Sorry.
00:46:14No freebies for men with mean ex-wives.
00:46:16No ex-wife.
00:46:18Just one wife right in front of me.
00:46:22I'm still working.
00:46:24I'll have to kick you out if you're not a paying customer.
00:46:27Then I'll pay now.
00:46:34I guess just bought the entire store.
00:46:37I need help from my favorite cake baker.
00:46:39Bella's Elementary School is hosting a bake sale.
00:46:42And every family brings a homemade dessert.
00:46:45And they all compete for first place.
00:46:48Would you want to go with us?
00:46:51You want me to be a part of your family?
00:46:53In front of your neighbors?
00:46:55Of course.
00:47:05No, you have to stir in the same direction clockwise 30 times.
00:47:08Wow.
00:47:10I had no idea you had to be so accurate.
00:47:12You do if you want to be the best.
00:47:16No, not like that. Like this.
00:47:21Okay.
00:47:25You are the worst student.
00:47:27I'm sorry I can't concentrate.
00:47:29Because my teacher's so hot.
00:47:44Everly and Daddy sitting in a tree.
00:47:48K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
00:47:50I'm gonna get you.
00:47:53Come here.
00:48:11Hey, Bella. Remember me?
00:48:14No.
00:48:16I'm your mother.
00:48:18No you're not.
00:48:19Everly's my mom.
00:48:20I chose her.
00:48:21You little brat.
00:48:22You can't choose your mother.
00:48:23You're born with one and that's what you get.
00:48:25That's enough, Kendra.
00:48:26You're upsetting Bella and causing a scene.
00:48:29Whatever.
00:48:30Move aside.
00:48:31I'm going to win this bake sale.
00:48:33And prove who the real mother is.
00:48:36Those are store-bought cookies.
00:48:38What is she thinking?
00:48:40No, she made those.
00:48:42Her family owns Rossi Cookies.
00:48:44They were franchised.
00:48:45They have stores in every country.
00:48:46You didn't tell me your ex was a world-renowned baker.
00:48:49She doesn't have a tenth of your talent.
00:48:52Her grandma's the baker.
00:48:53She uses the recipes.
00:48:55There's not one creative bone in her body.
00:49:02Oh my god.
00:49:03That's amazing.
00:49:04I want to buy all of it.
00:49:06Who made this?
00:49:09Julianne Barlow?
00:49:11I had no idea he was such a talented baker.
00:49:17Here.
00:49:18Try mine.
00:49:19Not to brag, but the Rossi name is renowned in the world of desserts.
00:49:24Not bad, but nowhere near the Barlow's.
00:49:26I'm telling you all to taste it.
00:49:27It's simply magic in your mouth.
00:49:29I think we know who the winner is.
00:49:34Yay!
00:49:39You want to see magic?
00:49:40I'm going to make that bitch disappear.
00:49:43Abra-fucking-cadabra.
00:49:51Can't forget that.
00:49:52Top of Bella's grocery list.
00:49:54She would never forgive me.
00:49:55Well, aren't we the perfect little housewife?
00:49:58That is, until Bella is rushed to the hospital.
00:50:02Oops.
00:50:07Everly!
00:50:08Hi!
00:50:10So lucky to run into you here.
00:50:12Oh.
00:50:13Oh, so.
00:50:15I owe you an apology for how weird I was to you earlier.
00:50:18In my defense, you'd have to be a mother to understand how it feels to see another woman raising a child.
00:50:24Do you have it in your heart to forgive me?
00:50:26It's Bella and Julianne you owe an apology to, not me.
00:50:31Watch your back.
00:50:32There's a long line of women waiting to get their claws into Julianne.
00:50:36Beautiful, sexy, sophisticated women.
00:50:40Who are suited to his lifestyle, pleasing his every want and desire.
00:50:45Is there some kind of threat?
00:50:48No.
00:50:50Just a cold, hard fact that you, Everly Harper, will never be more than a glorified babysitter to him.
00:50:58That's funny.
00:50:59Because you'll never be more than a bitter memory to him.
00:51:03Now stop messing with our family.
00:51:06Next time, I won't be so nice.
00:51:11Next time, you'll be the psycho who drugged Julianne's daughter.
00:51:21Let me ask you a question.
00:51:24Why did you choose me?
00:51:26Oh.
00:51:28Where's this coming from?
00:51:30Where's this coming from?
00:51:32I mean, once Bella grows up and doesn't need a mom anymore, will you still want to be with me?
00:51:38Everly, sweetheart, this doesn't sound like you.
00:51:42It's just, I'm not like the society women you've dated in the past.
00:51:46What if you get bored with me?
00:51:52Imagine dating someone who barely eats because they're watching their figure.
00:51:56And spends more time with their plastic surgeons and with their family.
00:52:00You mean these society women?
00:52:03You're so bad.
00:52:06I'm sorry.
00:52:07I let Kendra get in my head.
00:52:09When did you see Kendra?
00:52:15It's Bella's school.
00:52:16This is Julianne Barlow.
00:52:20Emergency room.
00:52:22Uh-huh.
00:52:23I understand. I'm on my way.
00:52:26What's going on? Is Bella okay?
00:52:27The school nurse said that she was poisoned. Something she ate. Something about a lollipop.
00:52:40Bella is asleep.
00:52:41Fortunately, the lab results just showed that it was a common prescribed sedative that was on the lollipop.
00:52:47How does this happen? I don't understand.
00:52:49I have to ask, have you had any threats recently or encountered any suspicious characters?
00:52:57I came as soon as I heard.
00:52:58How is our precious Bella?
00:53:00She's coming along.
00:53:01Okay.
00:53:02Poison?
00:53:03My God, what kind of monster would poison an innocent child?
00:53:07With a lollipop, no less.
00:53:10I'm sorry.
00:53:11Doctor, did you say lollipop?
00:53:13The perpetrator poisoned Julianne and my daughter with a lollipop.
00:53:19Well, that's interesting.
00:53:21Because I ran into Everleigh at the bakery yesterday and I saw one of Bella's favorite rainbow-colored lollipops.
00:53:28Are you suggesting that I had something to do with this?
00:53:32You gave Bella that lollipop, did you not?
00:53:40I did.
00:53:42I can't believe this.
00:53:43Our precious Bella, our little angel, drugged by yet another baby.
00:53:48I did no such thing. I would never...
00:53:51Wait, hold on. Bella's been poisoned before? Is this true, Julianne?
00:53:55When she was 18 months old, I had a babysitter.
00:53:57I haven't been able to trust anyone since then, just you.
00:54:02But now I...
00:54:04Now what?
00:54:05I'll tell you what.
00:54:07You're not coming near Bella ever again.
00:54:11No, no, this can't be real.
00:54:12You know I would never hurt Bella.
00:54:14You know I love her like she's my own daughter.
00:54:16Oh, but she's not.
00:54:18She's ours.
00:54:20Julianne, will you be calling security or shall I?
00:54:26Julianne, will you be calling security or shall I?
00:54:33Everly, I'm sorry.
00:54:35I'm sorry for ever doubting you, even for a second.
00:54:37I know that you could never harm Bella.
00:54:39Not because you're my wife, but because of your loving heart.
00:54:43Julianne, what are you saying? She's dangerous!
00:54:45Stop, Kendra, just stop!
00:54:48But...
00:54:50Look at the evidence.
00:54:51Everly bought the rainbow colored lollipop for Bella.
00:54:54Who else could have tampered with it?
00:54:57How did you know it was a rainbow lollipop?
00:55:01No one mentioned what color it was.
00:55:04No, you switched them.
00:55:06At the bakery parking lot, that's why you were there.
00:55:10You drugged your own daughter just to frame me?
00:55:12What kind of sicko does that?
00:55:14You can't prove that.
00:55:16But your prescription medicine can.
00:55:17Julianne, stop! That's not mine!
00:55:20She's been taking Sative since I met her.
00:55:23That's exactly what was found in Bella's system.
00:55:26It's...
00:55:27You psychotic bitch!
00:55:29First you tried to kill my daughter, now you're trying to frame my wife?
00:55:32It's common. It could be found from anywhere.
00:55:35It could have been anyone.
00:55:38It could have been you.
00:55:39It was you, wasn't it? I'm telling you, it wasn't me!
00:55:45Bella's waking up.
00:55:48Oh.
00:55:51Thank God she's okay.
00:55:53The thought of losing her was too much to bear.
00:55:56We don't have to think about that.
00:55:58She has you.
00:56:00I have you.
00:56:02And we all have each other.
00:56:04Whatever comes our way.
00:56:07That's what family's for.
00:56:09That's what it means to love.
00:56:11And be loved.
00:56:13Exactly.
00:56:15Stop it. We're in the children's ward.
00:56:19I'm pretty sure all these doctors and nurses know how babies are born.
00:56:22So mean.
00:56:27Mommy?
00:56:28Daddy?
00:56:31Brain check?
00:56:32Or you can count on it.
00:56:34Is that my little munchkin in there making noise?
00:56:40Welcome in.
00:56:41What gang is that?
00:56:44No.
00:56:45What, is there a rule against selling a cake to your ex?
00:56:47Come on, Emily.
00:56:49Look, Everly, I'm sorry.
00:56:51I made a big mistake.
00:56:52I'll admit that.
00:56:53But I've changed.
00:56:54I left Olivia and I just want to start fresh.
00:56:57I want to do this again.
00:56:58Are you serious?
00:56:59Yes, it was all Olivia's doing.
00:57:01You know how manipulative she can be.
00:57:03And I only loved you the entire time.
00:57:07You think Julian... Julian's a multi-billionaire.
00:57:09You think he'd really go for someone like you?
00:57:10I mean, get real, Everly.
00:57:12If he doesn't love you...
00:57:14What would I do?
00:57:16We'd probably die without you.
00:57:22Get the hell out of my bakery.
00:57:24You're a fucking bitch.
00:57:26No one's going to come to save you.
00:57:31Stay away from my wife.
00:57:33Last warning.
00:57:34Stay away from her or I'll break more than just your arm.
00:57:36Motherfucker.
00:57:38If I can't have her, no one can.
00:57:45Thank you for stepping in, Julian.
00:57:47I wish I could be here all the time, but I can't.
00:57:51Nolan.
00:57:53It's going to be a problem.
00:57:54I can't exactly lock my doors.
00:57:56Don't work by yourself anymore.
00:57:58Make sure Samantha's with you.
00:58:04Someone for the lunch, kid.
00:58:10I have to pick her up right now.
00:58:12We'll see you later?
00:58:14Stay alert.
00:58:30And the hits keep coming.
00:58:33First my ex, now his.
00:58:36We never catch a break.
00:58:43We have to keep that from Bella.
00:58:45I'll get my lawyer to file her straining order against Kendra this week.
00:58:49Maybe there's a way we can make peace with Bella's mom.
00:58:52We've tried.
00:58:53She's turned every attempt against us.
00:58:55Including Bella.
00:58:58I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:59:03How can I help protect Bella?
00:59:05No, Everly, it's not your fight.
00:59:07Yes, it is, Cole.
00:59:08How can I help protect Bella?
00:59:10No, Everly, it's not your fight.
00:59:11Yes, it is. Contract or not, you and I are in this together.
00:59:14I can't stand by while you and Bella suffer.
00:59:16I can't stand by while you and Bella suffer.
00:59:37What if Bella wakes up?
00:59:39She hung her head years ago. I just kept it.
00:59:43I know.
00:59:46I know.
01:00:16I know.
01:00:29What are your thoughts on a family date?
01:00:32The three of us.
01:00:34You want to go on a picnic?
01:00:37I'll go wherever you'll take me.
01:00:42So where did you get bungled?
01:00:44When I was three years old.
01:00:46Yep, we were outside and she saw a rabbit run across the yard.
01:00:49And she looked at me and reached her hands out and I said,
01:00:51No, you can't have a wild animal.
01:00:54So she started crying.
01:00:55So naturally, I got her bungled the next day.
01:00:57Naturally.
01:01:05Bella!
01:01:06My baby!
01:01:07Come to mom.
01:01:08What are you doing here? You look like a stalker.
01:01:12I'm still your mother.
01:01:14And I brought your favorite food, strawberries.
01:01:18Everly loves me more than you.
01:01:19And I love her too.
01:01:20And I can't eat strawberries.
01:01:25Darling.
01:01:26That woman is just after daddy's money.
01:01:29You're lying. I hate you.
01:01:32You can't talk to me like that.
01:01:34I'm your mother.
01:01:35No, you're not.
01:01:36Everly is my mommy.
01:01:38You're scary.
01:01:40You little brat.
01:01:41Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:01:44Mommy, daddy!
01:01:46Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:01:49Mommy, daddy!
01:01:50Kendra, what the hell?
01:01:52I'm trying to protect my daughter from this fucking bitch.
01:01:55Hey, watch your language in front of Bella.
01:01:58Strawberries?
01:01:59Kendra, are you insane?
01:02:00Bella's deathly allergic.
01:02:02How was I supposed to know?
01:02:04You never let me see that.
01:02:05That's a lie. You abandoned her.
01:02:07Shut up, you lying gold digger.
01:02:09I'm twice the mother that you'll ever be.
01:02:13Bella!
01:02:15Come back, sweetie.
01:02:16She's overwhelmed. You're scaring her.
01:02:19You know nothing about my daughter.
01:02:21But I know about you.
01:02:23You're just a foster kid.
01:02:25One step up from the gutter.
01:02:27Bella and I both know that Everly is the best thing to happen to this family.
01:02:33Bella, sweetie.
01:02:34You can't possibly think that this poor substitute is better than a real mother.
01:02:39We have the same blood.
01:02:41You're part Rossi.
01:02:43You can't ask your daughter that.
01:02:44Shut up!
01:02:46Kendra, this isn't some game that you can win.
01:02:48This is Bella and Julian's lives.
01:02:51I don't know why, but you abandoned them.
01:02:54You trying to snatch them back just so you can win won't make you happy.
01:02:57You have to move on.
01:03:00You have to move on.
01:03:04I know I don't deserve her.
01:03:06But I found out last month that I'm infertile.
01:03:11I can never have another baby.
01:03:13Bella's it for me.
01:03:26I know she's done some bad things.
01:03:29But she's still your mother, Bella.
01:03:31Why don't you go give her a hug?
01:03:33I don't really hate you.
01:03:36I know, baby.
01:03:39It's all my fault.
01:03:45You're right.
01:03:47I only wanted to win.
01:03:50You can win a game, but you can never win someone's heart.
01:03:54You're very wise.
01:03:56Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be your friend.
01:03:58I'm just trying to live my life.
01:04:00And I'm just trying to leave my daughter with a happy memory.
01:04:07Take care, Kendra.
01:04:09Maybe one day I'll let Bella write you.
01:04:11She's older.
01:04:14Bye, sweetie.
01:04:19She fell for my sob story.
01:04:22Stupid bitch.
01:04:23I won't stop until I get my man back.
01:04:26And the kid with him.
01:04:31Oh!
01:04:32What's all this for?
01:04:35100th Annual International Bake Off.
01:04:39Sounds like a big deal.
01:04:40It's invitation only.
01:04:42And I can't believe I got in.
01:04:44If I do well, it'll really help put the bakery on the map.
01:04:47Well, given how you rocked that bake sale,
01:04:49you've got this in the bag.
01:04:51That was nothing.
01:04:52I need a showstopper that's going to dazzle their taste buds
01:04:55and win over their hearts.
01:04:57Hmm.
01:04:58So what's the secret weapon?
01:05:01Vanilla rosemary five-layer cake
01:05:03topped with a lavender buttercream and a hint of orange zest.
01:05:06Sounds like I need to clear some space on the mantle
01:05:08for that first place trophy.
01:05:11Cut it out!
01:05:12I'm trying to concentrate.
01:05:14Oh.
01:05:15Am I distracting you?
01:05:18I'm a sucker for a messy apron.
01:05:22Okay, fine.
01:05:23You can stay, but you have to make it work.
01:05:25Fine.
01:05:26You can stay, but you have to make yourself useful.
01:05:30What's first, chef?
01:05:33Ladies and gentlemen,
01:05:34welcome to our 100th Annual International Bake Off.
01:05:37Please find your seat.
01:05:39Our competition will start shortly.
01:05:47You got this, girl.
01:05:48We'll be in the front row cheering you on, okay?
01:05:50Thanks, Sammy.
01:05:51I'm going to go check my presentation one more time.
01:05:56Knock them dead out there, sweetheart.
01:06:02Good luck.
01:06:09There you are, falling nicely into my trap.
01:06:12Who do you think arranged the invite, you pathetic nobody?
01:06:25Hey, Everly.
01:06:26Ready to get crushed?
01:06:29Angel, what are you doing here?
01:06:30Are you stalking me?
01:06:32You look scared.
01:06:33You should be.
01:06:35I'm going to win that trophy
01:06:36and confuse the better baker and mother.
01:06:40I'm infertile.
01:06:42I can never have another baby.
01:06:44So everything you said at the park was a lie.
01:06:46You're not infertile.
01:06:47You just can't stand that Bella chose me.
01:06:50I'm her fucking mother, bitch.
01:06:52You're a monster.
01:06:53And you're just an amateur who doesn't deserve to be here.
01:06:58Did you really think you earned a place in this competition?
01:07:01I'm the one who got the judges to invite you
01:07:03and now Julian's going to see what a poor orphan loser you truly are.
01:07:09Bring it on, Rossi.
01:07:11My recipe has heart and soul
01:07:13and they will beat your assembly line crap any day.
01:07:19Oh, yeah?
01:07:20Do you know what goes great with cake?
01:07:23What?
01:07:24Coffee.
01:07:25Oops!
01:07:29Oops!
01:07:34Kasia, what the hell?
01:07:36You better go get cleaned up.
01:07:38Wouldn't want to meet the judges looking like that.
01:07:41So unsanitary.
01:07:54Your knight in shining armor can't save your ass this time.
01:07:57Never leave.
01:07:59Our next competitor, Kendra Rossi.
01:08:06Hi, judge.
01:08:08This is my own one-of-a-kind original recipe.
01:08:14A vanilla, rosemary, five-layer cake with lavender buttercream
01:08:20and a hint of orange zest.
01:08:22That's my cake!
01:08:26What are you talking about?
01:08:28You stole my recipe.
01:08:30A nobody accusing me, a Rossi, of cheating?
01:08:34How dare you?
01:08:36Man, you have impeccable taste in women
01:08:39because obviously you chose Everly.
01:08:41But that woman up there?
01:08:43How did you end up with such a nightmare egg?
01:08:46I was young and stupid.
01:08:48Yeah, obviously.
01:08:50So what are we going to do to salvage this?
01:08:52Can't you just pull some strings or something?
01:08:54You're Julie and freaking Barlow, for goodness sake.
01:08:56It's not that simple.
01:08:58I know Everly wouldn't want to win that way.
01:09:00Dammit.
01:09:02So what do we do now?
01:09:06Kendra can't get away with this.
01:09:08A nobody accusing me, a Rossi, of cheating?
01:09:12How dare you?
01:09:15You better go get cleaned up.
01:09:17Wouldn't want to meet the judges looking like that.
01:09:19So that's why you spilled coffee on me.
01:09:22So you could hack my laptop behind my back
01:09:24the same way you switched the lollipops behind my back
01:09:26when you poisoned Bella.
01:09:28Oh, that is a serious accusation.
01:09:32Now, can you prove that this cake is your creation?
01:09:36Here's your proof.
01:09:38I don't believe you.
01:09:40Can you prove that this cake is your creation?
01:09:43Here's your proof.
01:09:51We can't see anything.
01:09:53The screen is blank.
01:09:57We can't see anything.
01:09:59The screen is blank.
01:10:01What happened to my files? They're not there.
01:10:03As I said, this recipe is mine and mine alone.
01:10:07No, no, no, no. It's not true.
01:10:09Kenny Rossi, you're a thief.
01:10:11I think we've heard enough.
01:10:13Sir, I know this recipe, my recipe by heart.
01:10:15I can recite it from memory.
01:10:17I'm afraid that doesn't prove anything.
01:10:20Now, I think it's best that you leave the stage now
01:10:25before I have to disqualify you.
01:10:28Isn't that the baker from Sweet Escape Bakery?
01:10:31Not going to her shop, ever.
01:10:35Wait!
01:10:38Wait!
01:10:41This will prove the recipe is Everly's.
01:10:49Now, you're going to want to let it cool for about ten minutes.
01:10:52Hey, back on me. This is the important part.
01:10:55The last step is to lightly dust with a layer of orange zest,
01:10:59just enough to reach the edges.
01:11:02And then you're going to want to add a pinch of salt.
01:11:06And, voila!
01:11:09You'll see the time stamp of this raw footage was taken two weeks ago.
01:11:14And speaking from experience,
01:11:16no one can make this cake exactly like my wife.
01:11:20Something's different.
01:11:22Taste for yourself.
01:11:29Salt.
01:11:30It's missing the salt. I didn't include it in my recipe notes.
01:11:33It was a last-minute spur-of-the-moment addition.
01:11:35Totally missed it.
01:11:36I'm sorry.
01:11:37I'm sorry.
01:11:38I'm sorry.
01:11:39I'm sorry.
01:11:40I'm sorry.
01:11:41I'm sorry.
01:11:42I'm sorry.
01:11:43I'm sorry.
01:11:44I'm sorry.
01:11:45I'm sorry.
01:11:46I'm sorry.
01:11:47I'm sorry.
01:11:48It was a last-minute spur-of-the-moment addition.
01:11:49Totally spontaneous.
01:11:51And yet, it made all the difference in the world.
01:11:54Salt?
01:11:56Salt?
01:12:14Salt or not, this is no ordinary cake.
01:12:18And it could only come from the heart and soul of an extraordinary baker.
01:12:30You almost ruined my wife today.
01:12:32This is your last straw.
01:12:33Confess or I'm calling the police.
01:12:35But I didn't.
01:12:38Okay, okay.
01:12:41I did it.
01:12:43I did it.
01:12:44All of it.
01:12:46Are you happy now?
01:12:47Dragging me in the mud like this in front of everyone?
01:12:50Julian, you broke my heart.
01:12:52You have to have a heart for it to be broken.
01:12:55How can you say that?
01:12:57I loved you more than anything.
01:12:59And then this bitch gets into the picture and suddenly I'm nothing?
01:13:03Just some garbage you can throw away?
01:13:06What is so special about her, Julian?
01:13:08She's not prettier than me.
01:13:10She can't be better in bed than me.
01:13:12What do you possibly see in her that you don't see in me?
01:13:16Maybe I'm just a better baker than you, Kendra.
01:13:20Here.
01:13:22Have a taste.
01:13:23I don't want your stupid salt.
01:13:29It smells disgusting.
01:13:31It smells like a rotten potato chip.
01:13:33And Bella could have made a better cake than that.
01:13:38I...
01:13:40I don't even know what to say about everything that's going on here.
01:13:43Say I can present my cake.
01:13:45That's all I came here to do, sir.
01:13:48Fair enough.
01:13:49The ingredients in my cake are pretty traditional in terms of regular cake ingredients.
01:13:53I like the rosemary because it tends to cut through the sweetness of traditional cakes
01:13:57while also balancing the orange zest aromatic flavoring that we really look for in a well-balanced cake.
01:14:03I also, um, not listed, I add a little bit of salt on top just to balance everything out.
01:14:08And I hope you really like it.
01:14:18We have seen a lot of great bakes this year.
01:14:21But nothing in the history of this competition has ever compared to this year's first prize winner,
01:14:29Everly Harper!
01:14:31This year's first prize winner, Everly Harper!
01:14:38Congratulations, Miss Harper. Truly well-deserved.
01:14:42Would you excuse me?
01:14:48Oh, we did it, Samantha, we did it!
01:14:50No, Everly, you did this.
01:14:52Hold on.
01:14:56Listen to this. Orders are flooding in like crazy.
01:15:00No, no, no, no, no. I've got this. Trust me.
01:15:03Now get out of here. Go celebrate with your hubby.
01:15:07Yeah?
01:15:09I am so proud of you, Everly.
01:15:20We got lost. I'm more likely to stick a bitch than suck a dick right now.
01:15:25Good. Then we both want the same thing.
01:15:28Yeah? What's that?
01:15:31Revenge.
01:15:33I've spent the last two weeks learning everything I can about Julian Barlow and Everly Harper's relationship.
01:15:39And I think what I found might interest you.
01:15:42Who the fuck are you?
01:15:44I'm someone that hates Julian. And I heard you're someone that hates Everly.
01:15:49So I have a plan that'll get us both what we want.
01:15:53I'm listening.
01:15:56Hmm.
01:16:01Hmm. Am I doing it right?
01:16:03Those look great. Just squeeze your bag a little bit tighter. More icing equals more smiles.
01:16:11Okay, time to switch to croissants.
01:16:13Oh, the chocolate filled kind?
01:16:15All different kinds.
01:16:16Ooh.
01:16:17Can you go in the freezer in the back and get me two blocks of butter? They are left side, middle shelf.
01:16:22Left side, middle shelf, two blocks. Got it.
01:16:40You're coming with me, Bella. I'm your mother, not that whore.
01:16:45Everly!
01:16:46Save your breath, kid.
01:16:48She can't hear you anyway.
01:16:51Everly! Everly!
01:16:53Shut up.
01:16:58Go!
01:17:00Go!
01:17:19Bella? Bella? Bella!
01:17:29Bella?
01:17:35Everly!
01:17:36Back here!
01:17:41Tits.
01:17:42What's so special?
01:17:43Shh.
01:17:53This is Julian Barlow.
01:17:55I'm her daughter, and if I don't get 200 million in cash by sundown, she won't see the sunrise.
01:18:01What did you do with Bella? Who is this?
01:18:03Ten million. Unmarked bills split into two separate duffel bags.
01:18:07Let me talk to Bella. I need to know she's safe.
01:18:10Only after I get the money.
01:18:12Damn you!
01:18:13She's just a little girl.
01:18:14There's an abandoned campsite at the end of Canyon Ridge Road.
01:18:17Put the cash inside the office cabin and come alone, because I'll be watching.
01:18:23When do I get Bella?
01:18:30What are we going to do?
01:18:32I'll call my bank. I'll get the money within an hour.
01:18:39Hello? Anybody? Hello?
01:18:43What is she doing here?
01:18:45I need an explanation for this.
01:18:47Mother, now is not the time for this.
01:18:49You had to learn from Kendra that you're not married at all, that you faked everything.
01:18:53What is this? This is from my safe.
01:18:55Combination was Bella's birthday.
01:18:57Very sloppy of you, Julian.
01:18:59How could you lie to your own mother and present this fraud as if she were actually your wife?
01:19:05I knew she was a gold digger, but I didn't know she was a tramp for hire.
01:19:08Silence!
01:19:12This is not important right now. That is just a piece of paper, Mother.
01:19:15I have to find Bella. She's been kidnapped.
01:19:17My grandbaby has been kidnapped? What happened?
01:19:21Bella and I were baking, and someone grabbed me.
01:19:26I blacked out, and when I woke up, she was gone.
01:19:30I have to get the ransom money together now, so if you two could please just...
01:19:33Just what? Stand aside and let you handle it?
01:19:37You brought this tramp into my daughter's home, and because of her, Bella's life is at stake.
01:19:43Ew. It smells.
01:19:45Did you just let common street trash walk in here?
01:19:48Don't talk about him like that. Bernie is a veteran. He served our country.
01:19:52I'm sorry, Bernie. I don't have good day notes for you today.
01:19:56But I have something for you, bad lady.
01:19:59I saw her. And a tall man.
01:20:05Go back and crawl into whatever hole you came out of, you filthy animal.
01:20:09I saw them.
01:20:13They took that little girl.
01:20:14You fucking bitch! What did you do? Where's Bella?
01:20:18He's obviously deranged. Or on drugs. Or both.
01:20:21The tall man. Did he have short, blonde hair? Athletic build?
01:20:30Nolan. She's working with Nolan.
01:20:32Where is she? Where's Bella? Tell me now!
01:20:36Where is she? Where's Bella? Tell me now!
01:20:41I...
01:20:46What the hell? Where's my daughter?
01:20:55Where is she?
01:21:07Daddy?
01:21:13My little escape artist.
01:21:16You can come out now, Munchkin. It's safe.
01:21:19Daddy and Evelyn are here.
01:21:26Hey.
01:21:36This is ridiculous! It's not kidnapping if it's your own child!
01:21:41This is ridiculous! It's not kidnapping if it's your own child!
01:21:47It's over. It's finally over.
01:21:51Isn't me and Mommy gone for good, Daddy?
01:21:53She'll never bother you again, Munchkin.
01:21:56I want you both to know that I'm very ashamed for my part in Kendra's scheme.
01:22:01But you can't continue this fake marriage.
01:22:04You're right, Mother.
01:22:09Everly Harper, you're the most loving, brave, and talented woman I've ever known.
01:22:15Your beauty is just dessert after a rich meal.
01:22:18My life fills full with you in it.
01:22:21Will you do me the honor of marrying me?
01:22:24And me!
01:22:25And me!
01:22:32Julian Barlow, if I was to create a recipe for the bravest, smartest, most loving man, it would be you.
01:22:42Your wealth is not a dessert, but a mere appetizer.
01:22:45So, yes, I will marry you.
01:22:48And you, too.
01:22:51I don't know what all that nonsense about food was, but the rest was lovely.
01:22:57I guess I'll give the girl a chance if she can make my son and grandbaby smile like that.
01:23:21So pretty.
01:23:27I helped make that.
01:23:28Yes, you did, Bella.
01:23:31Have you guys ever seen such a beautiful family? I'm so happy for you.
01:23:35Thanks, Bestie.
01:23:38Mommy, how about a cake fight?
01:23:42You're a girl after my own heart, Bella.
01:23:44Everybody, cake fight!
01:23:50Woo!
01:23:51Woo!
01:23:52Woo!
01:23:53Woo!
01:23:54Woo!
01:23:55Woo!
01:23:56Woo!
01:23:57Woo!
01:23:58Woo!
01:23:59Woo!
01:24:00Woo!
01:24:01Woo!
01:24:02Woo!
01:24:03Woo!
01:24:04Woo!
01:24:05Woo!
01:24:06Woo!
01:24:07Woo!
01:24:23Couldn't you have gotten me something more practical?
01:24:25This is going to be a bear to bake with.
01:24:27Only my wife would complain about a 15-carat flawless diamond being too big.
01:24:32Sorry.
01:24:35I'm not.
01:24:38God, I love you.
01:24:42Hey, Mr. Barlow.
01:24:45Hey, Miss Barlow.
01:24:47Who said I was changing my name?
01:24:52On the topic of change, I've been thinking.
01:24:55Bella needs a playmate.
01:24:58What do you think we give her a sibling?
01:25:01Just one.
01:25:02Foster kid here, I always dreamed of having a big family.
01:25:06Well, how big are we talking?
