00:00:00Bella?
00:00:02Bella?
00:00:04Where did she go?
00:00:06The gardener says Miss Bella's not on the grounds.
00:00:08She's disappeared again.
00:00:10We'll tell the design team to go big or go home.
00:00:12We're not building some quaint bed and breakfast.
00:00:14This is a billion dollar
00:00:16Barlow resort on a private island off Dubai.
00:00:18We need to crush this.
00:00:20Crush!
00:00:22Crush!
00:00:24Crush!
00:00:26Steve, I have to call you back.
00:00:28I have to call you back.
00:00:30How did you get in here, Bella?
00:00:32My little escape artist.
00:00:38What am I going to tell Mr. Barlow?
00:00:40Pulse alarm. She's here, everyone.
00:00:46Thank God!
00:00:48I only took my eyes off her for a second.
00:00:50She needs a leash.
00:00:52I'm not a dog.
00:00:54No, a dog behaves better.
00:00:56Daddy!
00:00:58Okay, everyone, let's get back to it.
00:01:00These decorations aren't going to put themselves up.
00:01:02Miss Delilah, I'm sorry.
00:01:04I will be hiring a new nanny soon.
00:01:06How long do you think this will last?
00:01:08She's scared off three in a year.
00:01:10I don't want a nanny.
00:01:12I want money.
00:01:14I'm not ever leaving.
00:01:16Can you see? It's a circus out there.
00:01:18Like, a literal freaking circus.
00:01:20Oh, my God, there's jugglers, there's clowns,
00:01:22there's even a man on stilts.
00:01:24Can you imagine having a birthday like this
00:01:26when you were just eight years old?
00:01:28Foster kid here.
00:01:30I used to blow out imaginary candles
00:01:32and dream of real cake.
00:01:34This is my favorite part.
00:01:36I'm not leaving.
00:01:38I'm not leaving.
00:01:40I'm not leaving.
00:01:42This is my favorite part.
00:01:44Somebody's a little too in touch
00:01:46with their inner child.
00:01:48When your mother
00:01:50proposed this blind date,
00:01:52I was a little hesitant.
00:01:54I just couldn't believe that
00:01:56any man can live up to the image that she painted.
00:01:58Yeah, she's very good at talking me up.
00:02:00In your case,
00:02:02she really didn't do you justice.
00:02:04I'd love to slip away
00:02:06from the crowd and, uh,
00:02:08get to know you better.
00:02:10It's my eight-year-old's birthday party.
00:02:12I wasn't interested before, but now I want you to leave.
00:02:18Wait for it.
00:02:22Why, hello, Mother.
00:02:24Julian,
00:02:26Bianca is hysterical, and you have
00:02:28embarrassed me.
00:02:30Well, stop setting me up with random women.
00:02:32I'm not getting married again. Once was enough.
00:02:34Kendra and the race car driver have ended it.
00:02:36Right now, you have
00:02:38full custody of Bella.
00:02:40Let the courts favor the mother, Julian.
00:02:42You and I both know Kendra could show up at any time
00:02:44and demand that Bella
00:02:46live with her just to spite you.
00:02:48I'm not letting that witch anywhere near my daughter.
00:02:50Find yourself
00:02:52a wife, and show the world
00:02:54a stable family.
00:02:56Not for your own happiness, but for your child's!
00:03:02Mother might be dramatic,
00:03:04but she's right about Bella
00:03:06not eating a mom.
00:03:08Perhaps a fake wife would do.
00:03:12Got vanilla for you.
00:03:14What's your favorite flavor?
00:03:16Chocolate!
00:03:18So, do you want to know
00:03:20what makes everything taste so good?
00:03:22The secret ingredient
00:03:24is
00:03:26love.
00:03:36Ugh.
00:03:38Girl, I'm so exhausted. I'm heading home.
00:03:40You coming?
00:03:42Let's stay and finish the engagement cake for tomorrow.
00:03:44Okay.
00:03:46Hey, Bernie!
00:03:48Let me grab you the day holds.
00:03:56Tell Rose and Pete I included the pecan cinnamon rolls
00:03:58just for them.
00:04:06Oh, my gosh!
00:04:08You scared me!
00:04:10Where did you come from, sweetheart?
00:04:12Where are your parents?
00:04:14Are you lost?
00:04:16What's your name?
00:04:18I'm Everly.
00:04:20You don't want to tell me, huh?
00:04:24Guess I'll just have to guess.
00:04:26Your name
00:04:28is Olga.
00:04:30Gertrude.
00:04:32Ew!
00:04:34Prudence.
00:04:36Hazel.
00:04:38Constance.
00:04:40Phyllis.
00:04:42Henrietta.
00:04:44Bertha.
00:04:46It's Bella!
00:04:48The birthday girl.
00:04:50She must have stowed away in the truck.
00:04:52Bella!
00:04:58You scared me, Bella Barlow.
00:05:00Sorry, Daddy.
00:05:02It's Mommy!
00:05:06I'm so sorry.
00:05:08She's never done anything like this.
00:05:10I want Everly to be my mommy.
00:05:12Bella, munchkin.
00:05:14Please.
00:05:16You know, my daddy has lots of money.
00:05:18All you have to do is marry him
00:05:20and be my mommy.
00:05:22Bella, you don't marry someone for money.
00:05:24You do it because you love them
00:05:26so much.
00:05:28And it feels like they're a part of you.
00:05:30Like, you can't picture your life
00:05:32without them in it.
00:05:34I know you're supposed to be my mommy.
00:05:38I'm engaged to someone else.
00:05:42Come on, Bella.
00:05:44We've taken up enough of Miss Harper's time.
00:05:54So a hot guy and a cute little girl
00:05:56were like, come be my Insta family?
00:05:58The girl was, the dad was kind of mortified.
00:06:00Bella reminds me of what I was like
00:06:02after the car accident.
00:06:04Kept going up to perfect strangers,
00:06:06looking for my parents.
00:06:08Just couldn't accept that they were gone.
00:06:14Hey, beautiful. I miss you already.
00:06:16When are you back from your business trip?
00:06:18I'm back Monday.
00:06:20We'll see each other then.
00:06:22Are you calling me from the bathroom?
00:06:24Uh, no.
00:06:26Just really loud. I gotta go.
00:06:28I love you.
00:06:34Hello, Earth to Everly.
00:06:36What?
00:06:38I was just thinking about what I told the little girl.
00:06:40All the reasons you marry someone, but
00:06:42I've never actually felt any of those things.
00:06:44Well, you better decide sooner rather than later.
00:06:46Well, Nolan and I have been together
00:06:48since high school.
00:06:50Loyalty counts for something.
00:06:52At least what we have is real.
00:06:56Okay, this hotel is huge.
00:06:58Where is the engagement party being held?
00:07:00Uh, restaurant.
00:07:02Okay, yes.
00:07:08I'm bored.
00:07:10I'm sorry, Munchkin, but after yesterday,
00:07:12I'm not letting you out of my sight.
00:07:14Bella was bad.
00:07:16Bella was very bad.
00:07:18But I'll take you to get ice cream
00:07:20if you're very good.
00:07:22I want cupcake.
00:07:24Nice try, kiddo.
00:07:46That must be the bride-to-be.
00:07:48Hey, delivery for the lovely bride.
00:07:50Can I just get your signature on this really quick?
00:07:52Oh, my gosh.
00:07:54Everly.
00:07:56Well, you haven't changed a bit
00:07:58since high school, huh?
00:08:00Still a pathetic orphan with no money?
00:08:02Or taste.
00:08:04Olivia,
00:08:06this is your engagement party?
00:08:08Who would marry a raging bully like you?
00:08:10Everly,
00:08:12what are you doing here?
00:08:14Uh,
00:08:16I'm here to see you.
00:08:18What?
00:08:20Uh...
00:08:22Nolan, I...
00:08:24I don't understand.
00:08:26Isn't it obvious,
00:08:28you ignorant nobody?
00:08:30Nolan's been cheating on you.
00:08:32With me.
00:08:40Is it true, Nolan?
00:08:42Yeah, I can explain.
00:08:44No, is it true?
00:08:46You've been sleeping with Olivia?
00:08:48You saw how she treated me.
00:08:50She made my high school life a living hell.
00:08:52You hate her just as much as I do.
00:08:54Oh.
00:08:56Well, if that's hate sex,
00:08:58then sign me up for a lifetime of it.
00:09:02Nolan's a sexy beast, aren't you, darling?
00:09:04Oh, but you wouldn't know about that,
00:09:06Everly,
00:09:08being the pity fuck that you are.
00:09:10You set this whole thing up,
00:09:12didn't you, Olivia?
00:09:14Did you think you could date both of us?
00:09:16Marry both of us?
00:09:18No.
00:09:20Nolan, you have to choose.
00:09:22You can be with me
00:09:24and live the good life,
00:09:26or you could be with this
00:09:28dirty orphan,
00:09:30who will always be poor,
00:09:32pathetic white trash
00:09:34her entire life,
00:09:36and who will drag you down with her.
00:09:42I'm sorry.
00:09:44I'm sorry, Everly.
00:09:46I just, I can't be poor.
00:09:48I can't.
00:09:50I'm so sorry.
00:10:00This isn't happening.
00:10:02I'm in some kind of post-high school nightmare
00:10:04where the mean girl still wins.
00:10:10I don't like her. She's mean.
00:10:12Hello, where did you come from?
00:10:14Is she an evil witch?
00:10:16You little shit.
00:10:18Who the hell let this wretched brat in here?
00:10:20Hey! Watch your mouth, Olivia.
00:10:22You can't talk to her like that.
00:10:26I can say whatever the hell
00:10:28I want. And both of you,
00:10:30get out.
00:10:32And take this disgusting pig with you.
00:10:34It's garbage, just like you.
00:10:36What are you, crazy?
00:10:38You could have hurt her.
00:10:40Too bad I missed.
00:10:44Oh my goodness.
00:10:46Get off me.
00:10:50Choke on it, bitch.
00:10:56I'm gonna destroy you.
00:10:58Good luck with that.
00:11:00You already tried in high school,
00:11:02but I'm stronger now.
00:11:04Keep rolling with my blessing.
00:11:06Nolan, do something!
00:11:10Ever flee?
00:11:18Touch my kid and you're dead.
00:11:20Who the hell are you?
00:11:22I'm with her. Since when?
00:11:24That's none of your business.
00:11:28Ooh, hold still.
00:11:30You have some frost in there.
00:11:32Babe, just stop. Don't.
00:11:34It's Julian Barlow.
00:11:36Heir of Barlow Hotels and Resorts.
00:11:38He owns this
00:11:40very hotel.
00:11:42You're lucky I don't sue you both for attempting to assault a minor.
00:11:44I didn't know it was your kid.
00:11:46So she's a poor girl? Hurting her is okay?
00:11:48This party's over. You two are
00:11:50banned for life from every Barlow property
00:11:52in the world.
00:11:54So this is what
00:11:56having someone stand up for you feels like?
00:12:02They were bad, Daddy.
00:12:04There's a lot of bad people out there.
00:12:06That's why you can't run off the way you did.
00:12:08That's how I really wanted to be with her.
00:12:12You need some rest.
00:12:14Go to the car.
00:12:16I love you, Edwin.
00:12:22Thank you for protecting my daughter.
00:12:24Thank you for saving me
00:12:26from my cheating ex-fiancé.
00:12:32That sounds like a desperate man
00:12:34trying to win you back.
00:12:36Yeah.
00:12:38Not happening.
00:12:44Seems we have a problem, Miss Harper.
00:12:46My daughter's
00:12:48heart is set on you being her mother.
00:12:54You also have a problem with your ex not getting the message.
00:12:58I propose a pretend relationship.
00:13:00Like a fake marriage?
00:13:02Exactly. I can protect you
00:13:04from your ex-fiancé, and you can help me
00:13:06protect Bella from herself and my ex
00:13:08if she comes back into town.
00:13:10Is your ex really that bad?
00:13:12Kendra makes your high school
00:13:14nemesis look like a teddy bear.
00:13:16Do we have a deal?
00:13:18What if you want to be with someone for real?
00:13:20I won't.
00:13:22I've sworn I'm not
00:13:24going to get married again.
00:13:30Yes, Mr. Barlow.
00:13:32We have a deal.
00:13:44Tomorrow night
00:13:46is the annual Charity Gala.
00:13:48Black tie.
00:13:50There we'll introduce you to society.
00:13:52Why don't we start out slow?
00:13:54No, my mother will know
00:13:56if we don't show up as newlyweds.
00:13:58Didn't you say she lives in Paris?
00:14:00She has spies everywhere.
00:14:02Did you go to the gala with me?
00:14:04I don't know, Julian.
00:14:06I'm more flower than flair.
00:14:10We have a boutique
00:14:12at the hotel.
00:14:14I think the right dress
00:14:16will ease some of your stress.
00:14:18I'm still super uncomfortable
00:14:20with all this.
00:14:22I don't want to embarrass you
00:14:24at the gala.
00:14:26Are you always going to be this touchy
00:14:28about my money?
00:14:30Most women can't wait to spend it.
00:14:32I'm a baker, not a socialite.
00:14:34You've been
00:14:36hanging out with the wrong crowd.
00:14:40Maybe I have.
00:14:42Do you mind?
00:14:44My mother will want a picture of the newlyweds.
00:14:56One other thing.
00:14:58Don't fall for me.
00:15:02Same goes for you.
00:15:16Well, hello, Mother.
00:15:18You're married?
00:15:20Who is this girl?
00:15:22Her name is Everly Harper.
00:15:24She's a sous chef.
00:15:26Cordon Bleu trained, but she calls herself a baker.
00:15:28Ridiculous.
00:15:32Well, her parents died when she was six.
00:15:34And since then,
00:15:36she's had no relatives.
00:15:38She became a ward of the state
00:15:40and bounced around foster care,
00:15:42never really having a permanent home.
00:15:44So she's an orphan without social connections.
00:15:46What are her financials?
00:15:48Well, she has some student loan debt
00:15:50and her business
00:15:52is barely making it.
00:15:54Despite that, she's won numerous awards
00:15:56and competitions for her.
00:15:58Oh, my God.
00:16:00She's dirt poor.
00:16:02You've married a gold digger, Julian.
00:16:04Well, to be honest, my wealth
00:16:06is probably a bad thing in this case.
00:16:08She'd rather me be middle class.
00:16:10Well, then she's a fool.
00:16:12Who wouldn't want a billionaire husband?
00:16:14Well, Bella
00:16:16chose her to be her mother.
00:16:19Well, I'm just upset that my only son
00:16:21didn't inform me he was married.
00:16:23We'll be in touch.
00:16:29That went exactly as expected.
00:16:31Yay!
00:16:33I'm really going to be my new mommy!
00:16:35I should start calling you my little spot.
00:16:37When does she move in?
00:16:39Um...
00:16:41I'm not sure. We haven't had that discussion.
00:16:43And she's going to bake me more magical cookies
00:16:45filled with love.
00:16:47Has she done that before?
00:16:49Well, yes.
00:16:51Soon she'll be here and she'll bake you
00:16:53many things full of love.
00:16:55Yay! Yay!
00:17:02Wait. You fake
00:17:04Mary and Julie and Barlow?
00:17:06I know. It's insane.
00:17:08Oh, my God. You do know that your hubby
00:17:10is worth, like, $100 billion, right?
00:17:12Very funny.
00:17:14You do?
00:17:16I'm not joking.
00:17:18Whoa. I've never seen that many zeros in one spot.
00:17:20Oh, my God. Bestie!
00:17:22You're literally married
00:17:24to one of the richest dudes on the planet.
00:17:26Olivia and her toes are totally going to flip out.
00:17:28We have to go to the high school reunion next weekend.
00:17:30I thought you said we were skipping that.
00:17:32Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Not anymore.
00:17:34We are going.
00:17:36Oh, come on. Please, please, please.
00:17:38Think about it.
00:17:40Yay!
00:17:42Why would someone like him even want a pretend marriage?
00:17:44He's charming,
00:17:46handsome,
00:17:48brilliant, and a good dad.
00:17:50He could easily find a real wife.
00:17:52Maybe he's just avoiding commitment.
00:17:54You know, classic playboy move.
00:17:56He doesn't strike me as that type.
00:17:58Look at you, playing the little protective wife already.
00:18:00Shut up.
00:18:02So,
00:18:04when does Miss Barlow make her big debut?
00:18:06Tonight, actually.
00:18:08Care to help me find a dress
00:18:10for some exclusive gala?
00:18:12Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
00:18:14This is the most exclusive credit card.
00:18:16That's all credit cards. You can buy an island with this thing.
00:18:18I'm gonna be sick.
00:18:20Oh, my God. I have to find a way to give it back to him.
00:18:22Everly Harper,
00:18:24you will do no such thing.
00:18:26Can you please just be a little selfish for the both of us
00:18:28and live a little?
00:18:30You're right.
00:18:32Let's do this.
00:18:34Yay!
00:18:42Okay, I can't do this.
00:18:44$40,000 for a dress is insane.
00:18:46You could feed an entire village for that price.
00:18:48Yeah, crazy world we live in.
00:18:50Hello, ladies.
00:18:52My name is Pilar.
00:18:54Should we try something on?
00:18:56It appears to be your size,
00:18:58but I do have a seamstress on standby.
00:19:00Can I maybe rent it instead?
00:19:02Rent?
00:19:04That'll be $1,000 a day,
00:19:06plus a $4,000 security deposit.
00:19:08Can you afford that?
00:19:10Oh, my goodness.
00:19:12What manual labor job do you do?
00:19:14I'm a baker.
00:19:16Absolutely no rental for you.
00:19:18Those rough worker hands
00:19:20will snag the delicate fabric.
00:19:22There's a thrift store down the way
00:19:24that might be more at your speed.
00:19:26You don't understand.
00:19:28I'm attending the annual Celestial Charity Gala tonight.
00:19:30It's strictly black tie.
00:19:32What are you doing at Celestial,
00:19:34the most exclusive event in town?
00:19:36I know.
00:19:38You must be a waitress
00:19:40handing out caravans.
00:19:42Just buy it, then.
00:19:46This is a black heart.
00:19:48Uh, obviously.
00:19:50Held up at boutique.
00:19:52Not going too well.
00:19:56Well, well, well.
00:19:58This card belongs to Mr. Barlow.
00:20:00How did it end up in your hands?
00:20:02Mr. Barlow happens to be
00:20:04my best friend's husband.
00:20:06As if.
00:20:08You must have stolen it.
00:20:10Security!
00:20:12Arrest these scammers,
00:20:14frightened infect, and fraud.
00:20:16Get your hands off of her, you animal.
00:20:18Let us...
00:20:22We're not thieves.
00:20:24You're making a mistake.
00:20:26The card was given to me.
00:20:28We're innocent.
00:20:32Get this trash out of my face.
00:20:34Let them go.
00:20:42Mr. Barlow, you're right on time.
00:20:44Okay, I just caught these scammers
00:20:46trying to charge $5,000 to your card.
00:20:48$5,000? When have you ever sold
00:20:50a dress under 30 grand?
00:20:52That was me.
00:20:54I was trying to rent it and said,
00:20:56no dress is worth that much.
00:20:58Are you kidding me?
00:21:00Don't fall for this innocent act.
00:21:02She's a clever scammer.
00:21:04Did you see anything you liked?
00:21:06This one.
00:21:08But we were told to shop at the thrift shop.
00:21:10I'm Samantha, by the way.
00:21:12I've heard so much about you.
00:21:14Pleasure to meet you, Samantha.
00:21:16Pilar, my wife was looking to outfit herself
00:21:18for tonight's gala
00:21:20entirely through your boutique.
00:21:22Unfortunately, you cut up our card.
00:21:26So she...
00:21:28She really is your...
00:21:32Wife?
00:21:34At Barlow, we believe in treating everyone
00:21:36with respect and dignity.
00:21:38Isn't your lease up in 30 days?
00:21:40Mr. Barlow, I am so,
00:21:42so sorry. Okay, Mrs. Barlow,
00:21:44please, um, here.
00:21:46Take the dress. It's on the house.
00:21:48It's not necessary. Just bill my account.
00:21:52And Barlow won't renew your lease.
00:21:54Not here.
00:21:56Not anywhere.
00:21:58You're done, Pilar.
00:22:00I'll never work in retail again.
00:22:24I realize right now this is the first time
00:22:26I'm seeing the real Evelyn.
00:22:28I'm playing scythe.
00:22:30You're on it. Look over here.
00:22:32What's her name, man?
00:22:34I got you.
00:22:36What's her name?
00:22:50I feel like I don't fit in here.
00:22:52You don't fit in, Evelyn.
00:22:54You stand out.
00:22:56You're so obvious, Everly.
00:22:58You can't let yourself fall for him.
00:23:00It's true. Everyone here is rich.
00:23:02But they're all human.
00:23:04Flaws and all.
00:23:06That's Chase and Daisy Harrington.
00:23:08They're in banking.
00:23:10I don't think you mean they work at the Talbot window.
00:23:12Chase can often be found at the dog track.
00:23:14And Daisy's a lush.
00:23:16She's probably spiked her wine with vodka already.
00:23:18Julian, that's awful.
00:23:20And that's Lily Blake Dubois.
00:23:22And her second husband.
00:23:2425 years her junior.
00:23:26Men date women who are younger than them all the time.
00:23:28She was the PTA president.
00:23:30And he was in ninth grade.
00:23:32With her son when they met.
00:23:34When they started their affair.
00:23:36Oh, my God. I get it.
00:23:38I am no longer intimidated by anyone in here.
00:23:40Mission accomplished.
00:23:42Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:23:48Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:23:51I'm too old for surprises, mother.
00:23:53You flew from Paris for nothing.
00:23:55Nothing?
00:23:57You're making a fool of yourself with this gold digger.
00:24:00Miss Barlow, let's get two things straight.
00:24:03One, my name is Everly Harper.
00:24:06And two, I am not a gold digger.
00:24:09I've earned my keep since I was six years old.
00:24:11And I started my business from scratch.
00:24:13I don't need your money.
00:24:15But I would like your respect.
00:24:18So, I won't let anyone talk down to me.
00:24:20Even if you are Julian's mother.
00:24:22Impudent girl.
00:24:24Meddling mother.
00:24:28Aren't you going to say anything?
00:24:30Meddling mother?
00:24:32I couldn't have put it better myself.
00:24:36I don't know what you did to trick my son into marriage.
00:24:38But I have my eye on you, Everly Harper.
00:24:41One false move, and you are through.
00:24:44All right, that's enough.
00:24:47Enjoy your evening alone, mother.
00:24:58Everly, I want to apologize.
00:25:02My mother was out of line.
00:25:04She didn't expect it either.
00:25:05She's so determined, she won't back down.
00:25:08We need to make sure she doesn't start digging into the details of our marriage.
00:25:12So, what's our next steps?
00:25:15I want you to move in with me.
00:25:20It was going to happen sooner or later.
00:25:22Mother just expedited it.
00:25:24That goes to the kitchen.
00:25:28Living room.
00:25:30It's just all moving a little too fast.
00:25:32I mean, one minute, Julian's asking me to move in with him.
00:25:35And the next, movers are packing my stuff.
00:25:37But you gotta love a man that takes action, you know?
00:25:39You are oddly chipper about all this.
00:25:41I mean, here I was feeling bad about leaving you to find a new roommate.
00:25:44I don't know. I think I'm going to try living alone for a while.
00:25:46Samantha, how can you afford that?
00:25:48The new landlord lowered everyone's rent.
00:25:50Since when?
00:25:51Since you became his fake bride.
00:25:54He knew that you feel bad for me,
00:25:56and so he bought the entire apartment complex and lowered everyone's rent.
00:26:00That's...
00:26:02That's insane.
00:26:03Romantic.
00:26:05Everly, billionaires don't think like normal people, sweetie.
00:26:08This is your life now.
00:26:09You need to get used to it, okay?
00:26:16Are we going to have gazpacho for dinner?
00:26:19If it pleases Miss Bella to have gazpacho.
00:26:22Hello!
00:26:23Okay, what can I get you today?
00:26:26You're welcome.
00:26:34Shouldn't take me longer than two days to inspect the site in Indonesia.
00:26:38Are you sure you can watch Bella?
00:26:39I haven't hired an Annie yet, and she tires Miss Delaney out.
00:26:43Don't worry about us. You focus on work.
00:26:45Bella and I will be just fine.
00:26:47I'll take you to the bakery with me, so have a blast.
00:26:50Here's a detailed list of her routines,
00:26:52do's and don'ts, allergies,
00:26:54emergency contact information,
00:26:56all the information you'll ever need.
00:26:58Love soccer, allergic to strawberries,
00:27:01doctor's number.
00:27:02I'm impressed.
00:27:03I wouldn't have thought a CEO like you would be this hands-on with this kid.
00:27:07Well, you thought wrong.
00:27:08Bella means the world to me.
00:27:21Daddy, why are you staring at Emily like that?
00:27:25You like her.
00:27:27Sorry, she doesn't know what she's talking about.
00:27:29Well, sometimes kids have a way of knowing the truth.
00:27:32They also have a way of being annoying.
00:27:34Well, anyways, me and Bun Bun wanted to play airplane.
00:27:38All right, Munchkin, you have one minute.
00:27:42Yippee!
00:27:44Ready?
00:27:45Yeah!
00:27:50So this is what a happy family looks like.
00:27:53Looks so nice.
00:27:55I wonder if we could be a real family someday.
00:27:57Just the three of us.
00:27:59Okay, Chef, what's on the menu today?
00:28:03Chocolate cupcakes and chocolate donuts
00:28:06and chocolate cake.
00:28:08Ooh, and chocolate chip cookies.
00:28:10I'm sensing a chocolate theme.
00:28:12Okay, time to get to work, Chef.
00:28:14Whoopee, Chef!
00:28:19Ooh!
00:28:20Ta-da!
00:28:21What do you think, Chef?
00:28:22I can taste the love.
00:28:24What?
00:28:25The magic ingredient.
00:28:27I can taste it.
00:28:28That's good.
00:28:32Emily?
00:28:33Hmm?
00:28:34Do you like my dad?
00:28:36Of course I like him.
00:28:38He's a great guy and a good dad.
00:28:40So you could become my mommy for real?
00:28:43Bella, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:28:46I'm just saying.
00:28:48You could become my mommy for real?
00:28:50Bella, I don't know what the future holds,
00:28:54but I know you have a very special place in my heart, okay?
00:28:58Okay.
00:29:03Whoa, that was fast.
00:29:06Okay, time for rest.
00:29:11Daddy!
00:29:19Oh, my God.
00:29:20I'm falling for him.
00:29:24Daddy!
00:29:26Did you miss me, Munchkin?
00:29:28So much, but Everly's the best.
00:29:30I got to be a chef.
00:29:32And we had a movie marathon.
00:29:34And I got to sleep in sheep tents in the living room.
00:29:37And we ate in the kitchen with Mrs. Delaney,
00:29:40who was all frowny, but then she was all smiley.
00:29:43I like the kitchen better than the dining room.
00:29:45Can we eat there from now on?
00:29:47I see you've made some changes.
00:29:49Very minor ones.
00:29:51Oops, did I say something bad?
00:29:53No, Munchkin.
00:29:54Daddy's just learning his little set-in-his-ways.
00:29:56You can do everything, Dad, but you're a bad cook.
00:29:59And Everly's way better at girl stuff.
00:30:02You're like the prince, and Everly's the princess,
00:30:04and we can all live happily ever after,
00:30:06with Bun-Bun, of course.
00:30:12Kids and their fairy tales.
00:30:15She'll understand that we can't be more than a pretend couple
00:30:18when she's older.
00:30:19Of course.
00:30:20She's still too little.
00:30:22We can't be more than a pretend couple.
00:30:24Right.
00:30:25It felt so real.
00:30:26I let myself forget it was a fake marriage.
00:30:29It can never be anything more.
00:30:38Oh, my God.
00:30:39You have to go.
00:30:41Oh, come on.
00:30:42Olivia and Nolan are going to gossip about us
00:30:44if you do not show your face at all.
00:30:45They are going to do that regardless.
00:30:46Okay, I'm sorry, Sammy.
00:30:47I thought about it,
00:30:48and I don't want to go to our high school reunion.
00:30:50Okay, hear me out.
00:30:51Just picture this.
00:30:52You walk in with your new, hot, billionaire husband.
00:30:55It's the perfect revenge for the mean girls
00:30:56that used to call us poor losers.
00:30:58No, I would never use Julian in that way.
00:31:01Well, if this thing is,
00:31:02I already told them that you would be there with them.
00:31:05Okay, don't get upset.
00:31:06Don't get upset.
00:31:07It's just that Olivia posted that we were lying skinks,
00:31:09and then I kind of just blew it from there.
00:31:11And Samantha, you make everything 10 times worse.
00:31:13Don't worry, I'll go with you.
00:31:15I can't let my wife be humiliated.
00:31:17I came by to take you to dinner
00:31:19as a thank you for helping me with Bella.
00:31:22Did he really mean that?
00:31:24His wife?
00:31:25You should take the day off tomorrow
00:31:27and go pamper yourself.
00:31:28I'll make the arrangements with the hotel spa.
00:31:31On one condition.
00:31:32Can you make the reservation for two?
00:31:35I can do that.
00:31:42I want to get my nails done, too.
00:31:44What color do you want to get, Bella?
00:31:46The exact same as you.
00:31:47I also want to get some for Fun Fun.
00:31:50He looks great with those.
00:31:52You're so adorable.
00:31:54How could any mother abandon you?
00:31:57I wish you were really mine.
00:32:03Oh, my.
00:32:04Mr. Barlow said that you might need some help getting into it.
00:32:10I can't wear that, Miss Delaney.
00:32:12It's too beautiful and definitely way too expensive.
00:32:15Nonsense, dear.
00:32:17Mr. Barlow said to tell you
00:32:19you're the only one that can do it justice.
00:32:24Now let's see it on you.
00:32:33I want to thank you for the dress.
00:32:36I'll find a way to pay you back.
00:32:38Seeing you in it is payment enough.
00:32:40You are drop-dead gorgeous, Everly.
00:32:43It's not me. It's the dress.
00:32:45Why do you do that?
00:32:47Why do you downplay your beauty?
00:32:49I don't like to draw attention to myself.
00:32:52You shouldn't have to dim your light
00:32:54to make others feel good about themselves.
00:33:09Mr. Barlow, sir, there is a visitor here
00:33:12demanding to speak with you.
00:33:14I'm not expecting anyone.
00:33:16It's your ex-wife.
00:33:22It's your ex-wife.
00:33:30I put Miss Rossi in the guest room.
00:33:32Where's Bella?
00:33:33She's with Miss Delaney in the playroom.
00:33:35You need to keep Bella away from Kendra.
00:33:39I have to deal with her.
00:33:40I'll join you at the reunion when I'm done.
00:33:42I can just not go.
00:33:43No, Kendra is not going to disrupt our plans.
00:33:45My driver will take you there.
00:33:47I promise.
00:33:52It's been so long, Julian.
00:33:54Not long enough. What do you want?
00:33:56I want my daughter.
00:33:58I want Bella.
00:34:06I heard Everly is coming to the reunion.
00:34:09I thought that she would never show her face here ever again.
00:34:13Everly? The foster kid weirdo?
00:34:16Yeah, well, she destroyed my engagement party,
00:34:18so I'm going to destroy her tonight.
00:34:20Didn't Amanda say she's married to Julian Barlow?
00:34:23What if he's going to come with her?
00:34:25He might fuck her,
00:34:26but a Barlow is not going to marry trash like her.
00:34:35She should be mine.
00:34:43Eyes on me, Nolan.
00:34:45They really did recreate senior prom.
00:34:47Yep, all the ways, the tacky decorations, and the cheesy DJ.
00:34:51Last time I was here, I was with Nolan,
00:34:53my foster mom at the time.
00:34:55And I was like,
00:34:56I'm going to have to do something about this.
00:34:58I'm going to have to do something about this.
00:35:00I'm going to have to do something about this.
00:35:02Last time I was here, I was with Nolan.
00:35:04My foster mom at the time helped make my dress, and it looked it.
00:35:07We didn't even get our first dance
00:35:09before Olivia told everyone I had an STD.
00:35:11That's right, and then Nolan couldn't take it, and he bailed.
00:35:14We should have known then that he was a dick.
00:35:16Yeah, I forgave him.
00:35:17No one could stand up for Olivia,
00:35:19myself included at that time.
00:35:21Let's slay this bitch.
00:35:23I mean the dance, of course.
00:35:25That dress looks like it cost a fortune.
00:35:29What do you think, Olivia?
00:35:31You're a fashion expert.
00:35:33It can't be the Nightingale of Hanoi.
00:35:36That dress is worth millions.
00:35:39It's just a cheap knockoff.
00:35:41Come on, girls.
00:35:42Let's give Everly a high school reunion she'll never forget.
00:35:46Let's give Everly a high school reunion she'll never forget.
00:35:51Hey.
00:35:52Where's your husband?
00:35:53Julian's on his way.
00:35:54Shut up, loser.
00:35:55No one's talking to you.
00:35:56Bitch.
00:35:57Give it up, Everly.
00:35:58We all know he got bored and dumped you.
00:36:04Like, okay.
00:36:06Did you just fucking shrug at me?
00:36:09Apparently you've forgotten your place.
00:36:12Must be that dress giving you attitude,
00:36:14but it's a cheap knockoff just like you.
00:36:17I don't think it's a knockoff.
00:36:19It's a gift from my husband.
00:36:21Give it up, bitch.
00:36:23We all know you're lying your husband, your dress.
00:36:27That's what I call bullshit.
00:36:28Grow up, Olivia.
00:36:30You're too old to still be a mean girl.
00:36:41Hey, no, no, no.
00:36:42Let go of me, Nolan.
00:36:44Get your hands off of her.
00:36:46Just because you're fucking a Barlow doesn't make you royalty.
00:36:50Take that fake dress off,
00:36:52or I'll take it off for you.
00:36:53What makes you think it's fake?
00:36:55You clueless bitch.
00:36:57I'm a fashion influencer.
00:37:00With 1.8 million followers,
00:37:03you expect me to believe that white trash like you
00:37:06are wearing the Nightingale of Hanoi gown
00:37:09valued at $10 million?
00:37:13That's why Julian grinned when I said I'd pay him back for the dress.
00:37:18Take it off.
00:37:20No!
00:37:23Hey!
00:37:24No!
00:37:25Get off of her!
00:37:29No!
00:37:30Let go!
00:37:31No!
00:37:33No!
00:37:34Let go of me!
00:37:39Stop!
00:37:40Get away from my wife!
00:37:45Get away from my wife!
00:37:50Come on.
00:37:59I'm sorry I'm late.
00:38:00The dress is ruined.
00:38:02Please tell me it wasn't worth millions of dollars.
00:38:05I can't tell you that.
00:38:08Apologize to my wife, now.
00:38:10We were just joking.
00:38:11You know, fooling around.
00:38:13My wife was on the ground, soaking wet,
00:38:16dressed torn.
00:38:17All you did was battery and harassment.
00:38:19My lawyer's not going to think that's funny.
00:38:21I sure as hell don't.
00:38:22Lawyers?
00:38:24Who the hell are you?
00:38:26That's Julian Barlow.
00:38:27He's one of the richest men in the world.
00:38:29Do you know how much this dress is worth?
00:38:32Every bead is a genuine, flawless diamond.
00:38:35Miss St. James, you just ruined a $10 million gown.
00:38:38Oh, shit.
00:38:41No.
00:38:42No, no.
00:38:43No, that can't be.
00:38:45You better start liquidating all your assets,
00:38:47including your parents' house,
00:38:48because the insurance company is coming for your ass.
00:38:50Then the police.
00:38:52Good luck finding a job in fashion
00:38:54after ruining one of the most famous dresses in the world.
00:38:58That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:39:02That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:39:04You did this.
00:39:06You set me up.
00:39:07You did it to yourself.
00:39:09Nolan, do something!
00:39:11I left the woman I love because you said we'd be rich
00:39:14and now you have nothing.
00:39:16You piece of shit.
00:39:17Nope.
00:39:22Don't do this.
00:39:24Please don't do this.
00:39:25I'm not the one you need to beg for forgiveness.
00:39:33I'm sorry, Everly.
00:39:36I never should have tormented you all of those years.
00:39:40You didn't deserve it.
00:39:41Then why did you do it?
00:39:44Why me?
00:39:47Why me?
00:39:48Because even with your shitty clothes,
00:39:51your terrible hair,
00:39:53you were still beautiful.
00:39:55Everyone could see it.
00:39:56I would kill to look like you
00:39:59and you treated it like it was nothing.
00:40:01So you hated me because I was pretty
00:40:04and didn't shove it in people's faces?
00:40:06That is so messed up.
00:40:09Well, I was right to hate you.
00:40:12Look at you.
00:40:13You bagged a billionaire without even trying.
00:40:16Everly is beautiful inside and out.
00:40:19That's what draws people to her.
00:40:21You're done here.
00:40:22I'm not going to push any criminal charges,
00:40:24but the insurance company will be reaching out.
00:40:26You're on the hook for that dress.
00:40:28Oh, my God.
00:40:29I never thought that I'd see this in a lifetime.
00:40:31Please pinch me and tell me that I'm not dreaming.
00:40:33If you are, so am I.
00:40:36You want to get out of here?
00:40:38Yes, please.
00:40:41Bitches.
00:40:42Who knew that high school reunions would be this fun?
00:40:50Thank you for what you did.
00:40:52Never has anyone come to my rescue before.
00:40:55I enjoy doing it.
00:40:57You matter to me, Everly.
00:41:01I'm sorry.
00:41:02I'm sorry.
00:41:03I'm sorry.
00:41:04I'm sorry.
00:41:05I'm sorry.
00:41:06I'm sorry.
00:41:07I'm sorry.
00:41:08I'm sorry.
00:41:09I'm sorry.
00:41:11Me and Bella.
00:41:13Hey.
00:41:14Of course.
00:41:15I understand.
00:41:17Thank you again.
00:41:18Have a good night, Julian.
00:41:20Everly, wait.
00:41:21That came out wrong.
00:41:23What I meant was...
00:41:26I have feelings for you.
00:41:28But I don't want to leave you on.
00:41:30Kendra's betrayal of our marriage,
00:41:32it broke something inside of me,
00:41:34and I don't think I can commit to another woman.
00:41:39I just want to be with you.
00:41:42I'm not asking for anything else.
00:41:44You're so amazing, Julian,
00:41:46and I like everything about you.
00:41:48You just...
00:41:49I love you.
00:42:08Sir, is that you?
00:42:09I heard a noise.
00:42:13Yes, Mr. Gibson.
00:42:15You can go to bed.
00:42:16Yes, sir.
00:42:17Good night, sir.
00:42:19That was embarrassing.
00:42:20I haven't got caught like that since I was a little school boy.
00:42:23Do you think he saw us?
00:42:25He probably did, but he's not going to say anything.
00:42:29I want nothing more than to take you upstairs right now.
00:42:32Me too.
00:42:33You're so honest, Everly.
00:42:35It's one of the many things I admire about you.
00:42:38And although it's going to kill me,
00:42:41I want you to go to bed.
00:42:43You're too noble.
00:42:46No one's ever said that to me before.
00:42:50Good night, sweetheart.
00:42:55Now go,
00:42:56before I change my mind.
00:43:01Did that just happen?
00:43:03Am I actually dating Julian Barlow?
00:43:11This is nice.
00:43:13Just hold your hand.
00:43:16What are we going to tell Bella?
00:43:18I don't want to get her hopes up,
00:43:19but we are dating now.
00:43:21Change of steps.
00:43:23We have to put her first.
00:43:25Have you always thought of others at the expense of yourself?
00:43:28That's why I was bullied so much growing up,
00:43:31and why people take advantage of me.
00:43:33Don't say that.
00:43:34You're the best person I know, Everly.
00:43:36And now you have me.
00:43:38And I promise I won't let anyone hurt you anymore.
00:43:43I promise.
00:43:49So you think you can replace me with this whore, Julian?
00:43:52Let's see how that works out when I get through with the both of you.
00:44:00So,
00:44:01this is your latest slut.
00:44:03Ginger, are you following me?
00:44:04I'm Bella's mother.
00:44:06I need to know what her father is doing,
00:44:08and who is to win.
00:44:10So you fuck the help now, Julian?
00:44:12Who I'm with is none of your business.
00:44:14You gave that right up three years ago,
00:44:16and you cheated on me with my best friend.
00:44:18Then you abandoned your daughter and went to Europe
00:44:20with some tennis pro at a club.
00:44:22That was ages ago.
00:44:24I've changed now.
00:44:26I'm ready to be a wife and mother,
00:44:27and you can't let this homewrecker
00:44:30get in the way of what we can have.
00:44:32Everly is my wife now.
00:44:33And stay away from Bella.
00:44:35You don't have visitation rights.
00:44:38Oh, we'll see about that.
00:44:40I'm Bella's birth mother.
00:44:42That's never going to change.
00:44:45I can't lose my daughter.
00:44:47You won't.
00:44:48We'll fight it together.
00:44:59Hello, sir.
00:45:00What can I get for you today?
00:45:02I need to ask a favor of you.
00:45:04Sorry.
00:45:06No freebies for men with mean ex-wives?
00:45:08No ex-wife.
00:45:10Just one wife right in front of me.
00:45:14I'm still working.
00:45:17I'll have to kick you out if you're not a paying customer.
00:45:20Then I'll pay now.
00:45:26I guess just bought the entire store.
00:45:29I need help from my favorite cake baker.
00:45:32Bella's Elementary School is hosting a bake sale,
00:45:35and every family brings a homemade dessert,
00:45:38and they all compete for first place.
00:45:41Would you want to go with us?
00:45:44You want me to be a part of your family?
00:45:46In front of your neighbors?
00:45:48Of course.
00:45:57No, you have to stir in the same direction clockwise 30 times.
00:46:01Wow.
00:46:02I had no idea you had to be so accurate.
00:46:04You do if you want to be the best.
00:46:08No, not like that. Like this.
00:46:17You are the worst student.
00:46:19I'm sorry I can't concentrate because my teacher's so hot.
00:46:35Evelyn and Daddy sitting in a tree.
00:46:39K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
00:46:42I'm gonna get you.
00:46:45Come here.
00:46:46Come here.
00:47:03Hey, Bella. Remember me?
00:47:08No.
00:47:09I'm your mother.
00:47:10No, you're not.
00:47:11Evelyn is my mom.
00:47:12I chose her.
00:47:13You little brat. You can't choose your mother.
00:47:15You're born with one and that's what you get.
00:47:17That's enough, Kindra.
00:47:18You're upsetting Bella and causing a scene.
00:47:21Whatever.
00:47:22Move aside.
00:47:23I'm going to win this bake sale and prove who the real mother is.
00:47:28Those are store-bought cookies.
00:47:30What is she thinking?
00:47:32No, she made those.
00:47:34Her family owns Rossi Cookies.
00:47:36They're a franchise.
00:47:37They have stores in every country.
00:47:38You didn't tell me your ex was a world-renowned baker.
00:47:41She doesn't have a tenth of your talent.
00:47:44Her grandma's the baker.
00:47:45She uses the recipes.
00:47:47There's not one creative bone in her body.
00:47:53Oh, my God.
00:47:54That's amazing.
00:47:55I want to buy all of it.
00:47:58Who made this?
00:48:01Julian Barlow?
00:48:02I had no idea he was such a talented baker.
00:48:08Here.
00:48:09Try mine.
00:48:10Not to brag, but the Rossi name is renowned in the world of desserts.
00:48:15Not bad, but nowhere near the Barlow's.
00:48:17I'm telling you all to taste it.
00:48:19It's simply magic in your mouth.
00:48:21I think we know who the winner is.
00:48:26Yay!
00:48:30You want to see magic?
00:48:32I'm going to make that bitch disappear.
00:48:35Abra-fucking-cadabra.
00:48:41Can't forget that.
00:48:43Top of Bella's grocery list.
00:48:45She would never forgive me.
00:48:47Well, aren't we the perfect little housewife?
00:48:50That is, until Bella is rushed to the hospital.
00:48:54Oops.
00:48:59Everly!
00:49:00Hi!
00:49:01So lucky to run into you here.
00:49:03Oh.
00:49:04Oh, so.
00:49:06I owe you an apology for how rude I was to you earlier.
00:49:09In my defense, you'd have to be a mother to understand how it feels to see another woman raising a child.
00:49:15Do you have it in your heart to forgive me?
00:49:17It's Bella and Julian you owe an apology to, not me.
00:49:22Watch your back.
00:49:24There's a long line of women waiting to get their claws into Julian.
00:49:28Beautiful, sexy, sophisticated women.
00:49:32Who are suited to his lifestyle, so he sees every want and desire.
00:49:37Is there some kind of threat?
00:49:40No.
00:49:42Just a cold, hard fact that you, Everly Harper, will never be more than a glorified babysitter to him.
00:49:50That's funny.
00:49:51Because you'll never be more than a bitter memory to him.
00:49:56Now stop messing with our family.
00:49:59Next time, I won't be so nice.
00:50:02Next time, you'll be the psycho who drugged Julian's daughter.
00:50:12Can I ask you a question?
00:50:15Why did you choose me?
00:50:17Oh.
00:50:19Where's this coming from?
00:50:21I mean, once Bella grows up and doesn't need a mom anymore, will you still want to be with me?
00:50:27Everly, sweetie.
00:50:28Will you still want to be with me?
00:50:30Everly, sweetheart, this doesn't sound like you.
00:50:34It's just, I'm not like the society women you've dated in the past.
00:50:38What if you get bored with me?
00:50:43Imagine dating someone who barely eats because they're watching their figure.
00:50:48And spends more time with their plastic surgeons than with their family.
00:50:52You mean these society women?
00:50:55You're so bad.
00:50:58I'm sorry.
00:50:59I let Kendra get in my head.
00:51:01When did she see Kendra?
00:51:07It's Bella's school.
00:51:08This is Julian Barlow.
00:51:12Emergency room.
00:51:14Uh-huh.
00:51:15I understand. I'm on my way.
00:51:18What's going on? Is Bella okay?
00:51:19The school nurse said that she was poisoned. Something she ate. Something about a lollipop.
00:51:29Bella is asleep.
00:51:31Fortunately, the lab results just showed that it was a common prescribed sedative that was on the lollipop.
00:51:37How does this happen? I don't understand.
00:51:39I have to ask, have you had any threats recently or encountered any suspicious characters?
00:51:47I came as soon as I heard. How is our precious Bella?
00:51:50She's coming along.
00:51:51Okay. Poison?
00:51:53Poison? My God, what kind of monster would poison an innocent child?
00:51:58With a lollipop, no less.
00:52:01I'm sorry. Doctor, did you say lollipop?
00:52:03The perpetrator poisoned Julian and my daughter with a lollipop.
00:52:10Well, that's interesting.
00:52:12Because I ran into Everleigh at the bakery yesterday.
00:52:15And I saw one of Bella's favorite rainbow colored lollipops.
00:52:19Are you suggesting that I had something to do with this?
00:52:22You gave Bella that lollipop, did you not?
00:52:30I did, but I can't believe this.
00:52:33Our precious Bella, our little angel, drugged by yet another baby.
00:52:38I did no such thing. I would never...
00:52:41Wait, hold on. Bella's been poisoned before? Is this true, Julian?
00:52:44When she was 18 months old, I had a babysitter and I haven't been able to trust anyone since then.
00:52:50Since then, just you.
00:52:52But now I...
00:52:54Now what?
00:52:56I'll tell you what. You're not coming near Bella ever again.
00:53:01No, no, this can't be real. You know I would never hurt Bella.
00:53:04You know I love her like she's my own daughter.
00:53:06Oh, but she's not. She's ours.
00:53:11Julian, will you be calling security or shall I?
00:53:16Julian, will you be calling security or shall I?
00:53:21Everly, I'm sorry.
00:53:23I'm sorry for ever doubting you, even for a second.
00:53:26I know that you could never harm Bella.
00:53:28Not because you're my wife, but because of your loving heart.
00:53:31Julian, what are you saying? She's dangerous!
00:53:34Stop, Kendra, just stop!
00:53:36But...
00:53:38Look at the evidence.
00:53:40Everly bought the rainbow-colored lollipop for Bella.
00:53:42Who else could have tampered with it?
00:53:45How did you know it was a rainbow-colored lollipop?
00:53:48How did you know it was a rainbow lollipop?
00:53:51No one mentioned what color it was.
00:53:54It's...
00:53:55No, you switched them.
00:53:57At the bakery parking lot, that's why you were there.
00:54:01You drugged your own daughter just to frame me?
00:54:03What kind of sicko does that?
00:54:05You can't prove that.
00:54:06But your prescription medicine can.
00:54:08Julian, stop! That's... that's not mine!
00:54:11She's been taking Santa since I met her.
00:54:14That's exactly what was found in Bella's system.
00:54:16It's... it's... it's...
00:54:17You psychotic bitch!
00:54:19First you tried to kill my daughter, now you're trying to frame my wife?
00:54:22It's common! It could be found from anywhere!
00:54:25It could have been anyone!
00:54:28It could have been you!
00:54:30It was you, wasn't it? I'm telling you, it wasn't me!
00:54:35Bella's waking up.
00:54:41Thank God she's okay.
00:54:44The thought of losing her was too much to bear.
00:54:47We don't have to think about that.
00:54:49She has you.
00:54:51I have you.
00:54:53And we all have each other.
00:54:55Whatever comes our way.
00:54:58That's what family's for.
00:55:00That's what it means to love.
00:55:02And be loved.
00:55:04Exactly.
00:55:07Stop it. We're in the children's ward.
00:55:10I'm pretty sure all these doctors and nurses know how babies are born.
00:55:18Mommy? Daddy?
00:55:22Brain check?
00:55:23Oh, you can count on it.
00:55:25Is that my little munchkin in there making noise?
00:55:31Welcome in. What gang is starting?
00:55:35No.
00:55:36What, is there a rule against selling a cake to your ex? Come on, Emily.
00:55:41Look, Everly, I'm sorry. I made a big mistake. I'll admit that.
00:55:44But I've changed. I left Olivia.
00:55:47And I just want to start fresh. I want to do this again.
00:55:50Are you serious?
00:55:51Yes. It was all Olivia's doing. You know how manipulative she can be.
00:55:54And I only loved you the entire time.
00:55:58You think Julian... Julian's a multi-billionaire.
00:56:00You think he'd really go for someone like you? I mean, get real, Everly.
00:56:03If he doesn't love you, I do.
00:56:06We'd rather die without you.
00:56:12Get the hell out of my bakery.
00:56:15You're a fucking bitch.
00:56:17No one's going to come to save you.
00:56:22Stay away from my wife. Last warning.
00:56:25Stay away from her or I'll break more than just your arm.
00:56:27Motherfucker. If I can't have her, no one can.
00:56:34Thank you for stepping in, Julian.
00:56:39I wish I could be here all the time, but I can't.
00:56:42Nolan, it's going to be a problem.
00:56:46I can't exactly lock my doors.
00:56:48Don't work by yourself anymore.
00:56:50Make sure Samantha's with you.
00:56:56Something for the munchkins.
00:56:58I have to pick her up right now.
00:57:01We'll see you later?
00:57:03Stay alert.
00:57:20And the hits keep coming.
00:57:23First my ex, now his.
00:57:26First my ex, now his.
00:57:28When will we ever catch a break?
00:57:40We have to keep that from Bella.
00:57:42I'll get my lawyer to file a restraining order against Kendra this week.
00:57:46Maybe there's a way we can make peace with Bella's mom.
00:57:49We've tried. She's turned every attempt against us, including Bella.
00:57:55I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:58:00How can I help protect Bella?
00:58:02No, Everly, it's not your fight.
00:58:04Yes, it is. Contract or not, you and I are in this together.
00:58:06I can't stand by while you and Bella suffer.
00:58:26What if Bella wakes up?
00:58:28She hung her head years ago. I just kept it.
00:58:31I know.
00:58:55I'm sorry.
00:59:21What are your thoughts on a family date?
00:59:24The three of us. You want to go on a picnic?
00:59:28I'll go wherever you'll take me.
00:59:33So where did you get Bun Bun?
00:59:35When I was three years old.
00:59:37Yep, we were outside and she saw a rabbit run across the yard.
00:59:41She looked at me and reached her hands out and I said,
00:59:43No, you can't have a wild animal.
00:59:45So she started crying.
00:59:47So naturally I got her Bun Bun the next day.
00:59:49Naturally.
00:59:55Bella!
00:59:57My baby, come to mom.
00:59:59What are you doing here? You look like a stalker.
01:00:02I'm still your mother.
01:00:04And I brought your favorite food, strawberries.
01:00:07Everly loves me more than you.
01:00:09And I love her too.
01:00:11And I can't eat strawberries.
01:00:15Darling, that woman is just after daddy's money.
01:00:19You're lying. I hate you.
01:00:24You can't talk to me like that.
01:00:26I'm your mother.
01:00:28No, you're not. Everly is my mommy.
01:00:30You're scary.
01:00:32You little brat.
01:00:34Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:00:36Mommy, daddy!
01:00:38Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:00:41Mommy, daddy!
01:00:43Kendra, what the hell?
01:00:45I'm trying to protect my daughter from this fucking bitch.
01:00:48Hey, watch your language in front of Bella.
01:00:50Strawberries? Kendra, are you insane?
01:00:53Bella's deathly allergic.
01:00:55How was I supposed to know? You never let me see that bitch.
01:00:57That's a lie. You abandoned her.
01:00:59Shut up, you lying gold digger.
01:01:01I'm twice the mother that you'll ever be.
01:01:04Bella!
01:01:06Come back, sweetie.
01:01:08She's overwhelmed. You're scaring her.
01:01:10You know nothing about my daughter.
01:01:13But I know about you.
01:01:15You're just a foster kid.
01:01:17One step up from the gutter.
01:01:19Bella and I both know that Everly is the best thing to happen to this family.
01:01:24Bella, sweetie.
01:01:26You can't possibly think that this poor substitute is better than a real mother.
01:01:31We have the same blood.
01:01:33You're part Rossi.
01:01:35You can't ask your daughter that.
01:01:36Shut up!
01:01:38Kendra, this isn't some game that you can win.
01:01:40This is Bella and Julian's lives.
01:01:43I don't know why, but you abandoned them.
01:01:46Trying to snatch them back just so you can win won't make you happy.
01:01:49You have to move on.
01:01:51You have to move on.
01:01:56I know I don't deserve her.
01:01:58But I found out last month that I'm infertile.
01:02:02I can never have another baby.
01:02:05Bella's it for me.
01:02:17I know she's done some bad things.
01:02:20But she's still your mother, Bella.
01:02:22Why don't you go give her a hug?
01:02:26I don't really hate you.
01:02:29I know, baby.
01:02:33It's all my fault.
01:02:38You're right.
01:02:40I only wanted to win.
01:02:43You can win a game, but you can never win someone's heart.
01:02:47You're very wise.
01:02:49Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be your friend.
01:02:52I'm just trying to leave my daughter with a happy memory.
01:02:58Take care, Kendra.
01:03:00Maybe one day I'll let Bella write you.
01:03:02She's older.
01:03:06Bye, sweetie.
01:03:09She fell for my sob story.
01:03:11Stupid bitch.
01:03:13I won't stop until I get my man back.
01:03:15And the kid with him.
01:03:22Oh, what's all this for?
01:03:26100th annual international bake-off.
01:03:29Sounds like a big deal.
01:03:31It's invitation only.
01:03:33And I can't believe I got in.
01:03:35I can't believe I got in.
01:03:37If I do well, it'll really help put the bakery on the map.
01:03:40Well, given how you rocked that bake sale,
01:03:42you've got this in the bag.
01:03:44That was nothing.
01:03:46I need a showstopper that's going to dazzle their taste buds
01:03:48and win over their hearts.
01:03:52So what's the secret weapon?
01:03:54Vanilla rosemary five-layer cake
01:03:56topped with a lavender buttercream
01:03:58and a hint of orange zest.
01:04:00Sounds like I need to clear some space on the mantle
01:04:02for that first-place trophy.
01:04:05Cut it out. I'm trying to concentrate.
01:04:07Oh.
01:04:09Am I distracting you?
01:04:11I'm a sucker for a messy apron.
01:04:15Okay, fine. You can stay.
01:04:17But you have to make yourself useful.
01:04:20What's first, chef?
01:04:23Ladies and gentlemen,
01:04:25welcome to our 100th annual international bake-off.
01:04:28Please find your seat.
01:04:30Our competition will start shortly.
01:04:36You got this, girl.
01:04:38We'll be in the front row cheering you on, okay?
01:04:40Thanks, Sammy.
01:04:42I'm gonna go check my presentation one more time.
01:04:47Knock them dead out there, sweetheart.
01:04:52Good luck.
01:05:00There you are, falling nicely into my trap.
01:05:03Who do you think arranged the invite,
01:05:05you pathetic nobody?
01:05:16Hey, Everly.
01:05:18Ready to get crushed?
01:05:20Andrea, what are you doing here?
01:05:22Are you stalking me?
01:05:24You look scared.
01:05:26You should be.
01:05:28I'm going to win that trophy
01:05:30and prove who's the better baker and mother.
01:05:32I'm infertile.
01:05:34I can never have another baby.
01:05:36So everything you said at the park was a lie.
01:05:38You're not infertile.
01:05:40You just can't stand that Bella chose me.
01:05:42I'm her fucking mother, bitch.
01:05:44You're a monster.
01:05:46And you're just an amateur who doesn't deserve to be here.
01:05:49Did you really think you earned a place in this competition?
01:05:52I'm the one who got the judges to invite you,
01:05:54and now Julian's going to see
01:05:56what a poor orphan loser you truly are.
01:06:00Bring it on, Rossi.
01:06:02My recipe has heart and soul,
01:06:04and they will beat your assembly line crap any day.
01:06:09Oh, yeah?
01:06:11Do you know what goes great with cake?
01:06:13What?
01:06:15Coffee.
01:06:25Kendra, what the hell?
01:06:27You better go get cleaned up.
01:06:29Wouldn't want to meet the judges looking like that.
01:06:31So unsanitary.
01:06:49Your knight in shining armor can't save your ass this time.
01:06:52Never leave.
01:06:55Our next competitor, Kendra Rossi.
01:07:02Hi, judge.
01:07:04This is my own one-of-a-kind original recipe.
01:07:09A vanilla rosemary five-layer cake
01:07:13with lavender buttercream and a hint of orange zest.
01:07:16That's my cake!
01:07:21What are you talking about?
01:07:23My recipe.
01:07:25A nobody accusing me, a Rossi, of cheating?
01:07:29How dare you?
01:07:31Man.
01:07:33You have impeccable taste in women
01:07:35because obviously you chose Everly,
01:07:37but that woman up there?
01:07:39How did you end up with such a nightmare ex?
01:07:41I was young.
01:07:43And stupid.
01:07:44Yeah, obviously.
01:07:46So what are we going to do to salvage this?
01:07:47Can't you just, like, pull some strings or something?
01:07:49You're Julian freaking Barlow, for goodness sake.
01:07:51It's simple.
01:07:52I know Everly wouldn't want to win that way.
01:07:55Dammit.
01:07:57So what do we do now?
01:08:01Kendra can't get away with this.
01:08:04A nobody accusing me, a Rossi, of cheating?
01:08:09How dare you?
01:08:14You better go get cleaned up.
01:08:16Wouldn't want to meet the judges looking like that.
01:08:18So that's why you spilled coffee on me.
01:08:20So you could hack my laptop behind my back
01:08:23the same way you switched the lollipops behind my back
01:08:25when you poisoned Bella.
01:08:27That is a serious accusation.
01:08:30Now, can you prove that this cake is your creation?
01:08:34Here's your proof.
01:08:42We can't see anything.
01:08:44The screen is blank.
01:08:48What happened to my files?
01:08:49They're not there.
01:08:51As I said, this recipe is mine, and mine alone.
01:08:54No, no, no, no.
01:08:56It's not true.
01:08:57Kendra Rossi, you're a thief.
01:08:59I think we've heard enough.
01:09:01Sir, I know this recipe, my recipe by heart.
01:09:04I can recite it from memory.
01:09:06I'm afraid that doesn't prove anything.
01:09:08Now, I think it's best that you leave the stage now
01:09:13before I have to disqualify you.
01:09:15Isn't that the baker from Sweet Escape Bakery?
01:09:18Not going to her shop, ever.
01:09:25Wait!
01:09:27Wait!
01:09:30This will prove the recipe is Everly's.
01:09:39Now, you're going to want to let it cool for about 10 minutes.
01:09:43Now, you're going to want to let it cool for about 10 minutes.
01:09:46Hey, back on me.
01:09:47This is the important part.
01:09:49The last step is to lightly dust with a layer of orange zest,
01:09:52just enough to reach the edges.
01:10:00And then you're going to want to add a pinch of salt.
01:10:04And voila!
01:10:07You'll see the time stamp of this raw footage was taken two weeks ago.
01:10:12And speaking from experience,
01:10:14no one can make this cake exactly like my wife.
01:10:25Something's different.
01:10:27Taste for yourself.
01:10:34Salt.
01:10:36It's missing the salt. I didn't include it in my recipe notes.
01:10:38It was a last-minute spur-of-the-moment addition.
01:10:40Totally spontaneous.
01:10:42And yet, it made all the difference in the world.
01:10:45Salt?
01:10:47Salt?
01:11:05Salt or not, this is no ordinary cake.
01:11:10And it could only come from the heart and soul of an extraordinary baker.
01:11:21You almost ruined my wife today.
01:11:23This is your last straw.
01:11:25Confess or I'm calling the police.
01:11:27But I didn't.
01:11:29Okay, okay.
01:11:32I did it.
01:11:34I did it.
01:11:36All of it.
01:11:38And now, dragging me in the mud like this in front of everyone?
01:11:41Julian, you broke my heart.
01:11:43You have to have a heart for it to be broken.
01:11:46How can you say that?
01:11:48I loved you more than anything.
01:11:51And then this bitch gets into the picture and suddenly I'm nothing?
01:11:54Just some garbage you can throw away?
01:11:57What is so special about her, Julian?
01:12:00She's not prettier than me.
01:12:02She can't be better in bed than me.
01:12:04What do you possibly see in her that you don't see in me?
01:12:07Maybe I'm just a better baker than you, Kendra.
01:12:11Here.
01:12:13Have a taste.
01:12:14I don't want your stupid salt.
01:12:20It smells disgusting.
01:12:22It smells like a rotten potato chip.
01:12:24And Bella could have made a better cake than that.
01:12:31I don't even know what to say about everything that's going on here.
01:12:34Say I can present my cake.
01:12:37That's all I came here to do, sir.
01:12:39Fair enough.
01:12:41The ingredients in my cake are pretty traditional
01:12:43in terms of regular cake ingredients.
01:12:45I like the rosemary because it tends to cut through
01:12:47the sweetness of traditional cakes
01:12:49while also balancing the orange zest aromatic flavoring
01:12:52that we really look for in a well-balanced cake.
01:12:55I also, not listed, I add a little bit of salt on top
01:12:58just to balance everything out.
01:13:00And I hope you really like it.
01:13:08We have seen a lot of great bakes this year.
01:13:12But nothing in the history of this competition
01:13:15has ever compared to this year's first prize winner,
01:13:20Everly Harper.
01:13:22This year's first prize winner, Everly Harper.
01:13:29Congratulations, Miss Harper.
01:13:31Truly well-deserved.
01:13:33Would you excuse me?
01:13:36Great.
01:13:40Oh, we did it, Samantha, we did it.
01:13:42No, Everly, you did this.
01:13:44Hold on.
01:13:48Listen to this.
01:13:50Orders are flooding in like crazy.
01:13:52No, no, no. I've got this. Trust me.
01:13:55Now get out of here. Go celebrate with your hubby.
01:13:58Yeah?
01:14:01I am so proud of you, Everly.
01:14:06I got lost.
01:14:08I'm more likely to stick a bitch than suck a dick right now.
01:14:11Good.
01:14:13Then we both want the same thing.
01:14:15Yeah? What's that?
01:14:18Revenge.
01:14:20I've spent the last two weeks learning everything I can
01:14:23about Julian Barlow and Everly Harper's relationship.
01:14:26And I think what I found might interest you.
01:14:29Who the fuck are you?
01:14:31I'm the one who's going to tell you
01:14:33Who the fuck are you?
01:14:35I'm someone that hates Julian,
01:14:37and I heard you're someone that hates Everly.
01:14:40So I have a plan that'll get us both what we want.
01:14:44I'm listening.
01:14:53Am I doing it right?
01:14:55Those look great.
01:14:57Just squeeze your bag a little bit tighter.
01:14:59More icing equals more smiles.
01:15:02Okay, time to switch to croissants.
01:15:04The chocolate-filled kind?
01:15:06All different kinds.
01:15:08Can you go in the freezer in the back
01:15:10and get me two blocks of butter?
01:15:12They are left side, middle shelf.
01:15:14Left side, middle shelf, two blocks. Got it.
01:15:32You're coming with me, Bella.
01:15:34I'm your mother, not that whore.
01:15:36Everly!
01:15:38Save your breath, kid.
01:15:40She can't hear you anyway.
01:15:42Everly! Everly!
01:15:44Shut up!
01:15:49Let go!
01:16:02Bella?
01:16:04Bella?
01:16:06Bella!
01:16:18Everly!
01:16:20Back here!
01:16:26Bella?
01:16:28Bella?
01:16:31It's impossible.
01:16:33Shh.
01:16:43This is Julian Barlow.
01:16:45I have your daughter.
01:16:47And if I don't get $200 million in cash by sundown,
01:16:49she won't see the sunrise.
01:16:51What did you do with Bella?
01:16:53Who is this?
01:16:55$10 million.
01:16:57Unmarked bills split into two separate duffel bags.
01:16:59Let me talk to Bella.
01:17:01I need to know she's safe.
01:17:03Only after I get the money.
01:17:05Damn you!
01:17:07She's just a little girl.
01:17:09There's an abandoned campsite at the end of Canyon Ridge Road.
01:17:11Put the cash inside the office cabin and come alone.
01:17:13Because I'll be watching.
01:17:15When do I get Bella?
01:17:23What are we going to do?
01:17:25I'll call my bank.
01:17:27I'll be there in an hour.
01:17:29Okay.
01:17:31Hello?
01:17:33Anybody?
01:17:35Hello?
01:17:37What is she doing here?
01:17:39I need an explanation for this.
01:17:41Mother, now is not the time for this.
01:17:43I had to learn from Kendra that you're not married at all,
01:17:45that you faked everything.
01:17:47What is this? This is for my sake.
01:17:49Combination was Bella's birthday.
01:17:51Very sloppy of you, Julian.
01:17:53How could you lie to your own mother
01:17:55as if she were actually your wife?
01:17:57I knew she was a gold digger,
01:17:59but I didn't know she was a tramp for hire.
01:18:01Silence!
01:18:03This is not important right now.
01:18:05That is just a piece of paper, Mother.
01:18:07I have to find Bella. She's been kidnapped.
01:18:09My grandbaby has been kidnapped?
01:18:11What happened?
01:18:13Bella and I were baking,
01:18:15and someone grabbed me.
01:18:17I blacked out,
01:18:19and when I woke up, she was gone.
01:18:21I have to get the ransom money together now,
01:18:23so if you two could please just...
01:18:25Just what?
01:18:27Stand aside and let you handle it?
01:18:29You brought this tramp into my daughter's home,
01:18:31and because of her,
01:18:33Bella's life is at stake.
01:18:35Ew.
01:18:37It smells.
01:18:39Did you just let common street trash walk in here?
01:18:41Don't talk about him like that.
01:18:43Bernie is a veteran. He served our country.
01:18:45I'm sorry, Bernie.
01:18:47I don't have the day offs for you today.
01:18:49But I have something for you,
01:18:51that lady.
01:18:53I saw her, and a tall man.
01:18:57Go back and crawl into whatever hole
01:18:59you came out of, you filthy animal.
01:19:03I saw them.
01:19:07They took that little girl.
01:19:09Fucking bitch! What did you do?
01:19:11Where's Bella?
01:19:13He's obviously deranged, or on drugs, or both.
01:19:15A tall man.
01:19:17Did he have short, blonde hair?
01:19:19Athletic build?
01:19:23Nolan.
01:19:25She's working with Nolan.
01:19:27Where is she? Where is Bella?
01:19:29Tell me now!
01:19:31I...
01:19:37What the hell? Where's my daughter?
01:19:45Where is she?
01:19:49I don't know.
01:20:01Daddy?
01:20:07My little escape artist.
01:20:11You can come out now, Moshkin.
01:20:13It's safe.
01:20:15Daddy and Emily are here.
01:20:19Hey.
01:20:27This is ridiculous!
01:20:29It's not kidnapping if it's your own child!
01:20:33This is ridiculous!
01:20:35It's not kidnapping if it's your own child!
01:20:39It's over.
01:20:41It's finally over.
01:20:43Is it me and Mommy gone for good, Daddy?
01:20:45She'll never bother you again, Moshkin.
01:20:47I want you both to know that
01:20:49I'm very ashamed for my part
01:20:51in Kendra's scheme.
01:20:53But you can't continue this fake marriage.
01:20:55You're right, Mother.
01:21:01Everly Harper,
01:21:03you're the most loving, brave,
01:21:05and talented woman I've ever known.
01:21:07Your beauty is just dessert
01:21:09after a rich meal.
01:21:11My life fills full with you in it.
01:21:13Will you do me the honor
01:21:15of marrying me?
01:21:17Emily!
01:21:23Julian Barlow,
01:21:25if I was to create a recipe
01:21:27for the bravest, smartest,
01:21:29most loving man,
01:21:31it would be you.
01:21:33Your wealth is not a dessert,
01:21:35but a mere appetizer.
01:21:37So, yes, I will marry you.
01:21:39And you, too.
01:21:45I don't know what all that nonsense
01:21:47about food was,
01:21:49but the rest was lovely.
01:21:51I guess I'll give the girl a chance
01:21:53if she can make my son and grandbaby
01:21:55smile like that.
01:22:01Look at this.
01:22:03Oh, my gosh, do you see that?
01:22:05Woo!

01:22:21Have you guys ever
01:22:23seen such a beautiful family?
01:22:25I'm so happy for you. Thanks, Bestie.

01:23:15something more practical?
01:23:17This is gonna be a bear to bake with.
01:23:19Only my wife would complain about a 15-karat
01:23:21flawless diamond being too big.
01:23:23Sorry.
01:23:25I'm not.

01:23:35Hey, Miss Barlow who said I was changing my name
01:23:42On the topic of change I've been thinking Bella needs a playmate
