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 Barlow resort
00:00:16on 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.
00:00:42She'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 is going to last?
00:01:08She's scared off three in a year.
00:01:10I don't want a nanny.
00:01:12I want a mommy.
00:01:14I'm not ever leaving.
00:01:16Can you see?
00:01:18It's a circus out there.
00:01:20Like a literal freaking circus.
00:01:22Oh my God, there's jugglers, there's clowns,
00:01:24there's even a man on stilts.
00:01:26Can you imagine having a birthday like this
00:01:28when you were just eight years old?
00:01:30Foster kid here.
00:01:32I used to blow out imaginary candles
00:01:34and dream of real cake.
00:01:38This is my favorite part.
00:01:40I'm going to be a nanny.
00:01:42This is my favorite part.
00:01:46Somebody's a little too in touch with their inner child.
00:01:50When your mother proposed 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
00:01:58that she painted.
00:02:00Yes, she's very good at talking you up.
00:02:02In your case, she really
00:02:04didn't do you justice.
00:02:06I'd love to slip away from the crowd
00:02:08and get to know you better.
00:02:10You're at 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.
00:02:24Why, hello, Mother.
00:02:26Julian, Bianca is hysterical
00:02:28and you have embarrassed 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,
00:02:38you have sole custody of Bella.
00:02:40But the courts favor the mother, Julian.
00:02:42You and I both know Kendra could
00:02:44show up at any time and demand
00:02:46that Bella live with her just to spite you.
00:02:48I'm not letting that witch anywhere
00:02:50near my daughter.
00:02:52Find yourself a wife
00:02:54and show the world a stable family.
00:02:56Not for your own happiness,
00:02:58but for your child's!
00:03:04Mother might be dramatic,
00:03:06but she's right about Bella needing 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
00:03:24ingredient is
00:03:28love.
00:03:36Ugh.
00:03:38Girl, I'm so exhausted.
00:03:40I'm heading home. You coming?
00:03:42I'm gonna 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.
00:05:02For my 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
00:05:24for money. You 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
00:05:32your life without them enough.
00:05:34I know you're supposed
00:05:36to be my mommy.
00:05:38I'm engaged to someone
00:05:40else.
00:05:42Come on, Bella.
00:05:44We've taken up enough of Miss Harper's
00:05:46time.
00:05:54So a hot guy and a cute
00:05:56little girl were like, come be my Insta family?
00:05:58The little girl was. The dad was kind of mortified.
00:06:00Bella reminds me of what
00:06:02I was like after 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, uh, I'm back Monday.
00:06:20We'll see each other then.
00:06:22Are you calling me from the bathroom?
00:06:24Uh, no. The guests
00:06:26next door are just really loud.
00:06:28I gotta go. I 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
00:06:44those things. We better decide sooner
00:06:46rather than later. Well, Nolan and I
00:06:48have been together since 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.
00:07:02There he is.
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.
00:07:24I want cupcake.
00:07:26Nice try, kiddo.
00:07:46That must be
00:07:48the bride-to-be.
00:07:50Hey, delivery for the lovely bride.
00:07:52Can I get your signature on this really quick?
00:07:58Oh, my gosh!
00:08:00Everly!
00:08:02Well, you haven't changed a bit
00:08:04since high school, huh?
00:08:06Still a pathetic orphan
00:08:08with no money?
00:08:10Or taste?
00:08:12Olivia, this is your engagement party?
00:08:14Who would marry
00:08:16a raging bully like you?
00:08:18Everly, what are you doing here?
00:08:22Uh...
00:08:24Nolan, I...
00:08:26I don't understand.
00:08:28Isn't it obvious, you ignorant
00:08:30nobody?
00:08:32Nolan's been cheating on you.
00:08:34With me.
00:08:42Is it true, Nolan?
00:08:44I can explain.
00:08:46Is it true?
00:08:48You've been sleeping with Olivia?
00:08:50You saw how she treated me.
00:08:52She made my high school life a living hell.
00:08:54You hate her just as much as I do.
00:08:56Oh?
00:08:58Well, if that's hate sex,
00:09:00then sign me up for a lifetime of it.
00:09:04Nolan's a sexy beast, aren't you, darling?
00:09:06Oh, but you wouldn't
00:09:08know about that, Everly.
00:09:10Being the pity fuck that you are.
00:09:12You set this whole thing up,
00:09:14didn't you, Olivia?
00:09:16Did you think you could date both of us?
00:09:18Marry both of us?
00:09:20No.
00:09:22Nolan, you have to choose.
00:09:24You can be with me and live the good life,
00:09:26or...
00:09:28you could be with this
00:09:30dirty orphan,
00:09:32who will always be poor,
00:09:34pathetic white trash her entire
00:09:36life, and who will
00:09:38drag you down with her.
00:09:44I'm sorry.
00:09:46Everly, I 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
00:10:04nightmare where the mean girl still wins.
00:10:10I don't like her.
00:10:12She's mean.
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.
00:10:24Oh.
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 cake with you.
00:10:34It's garbage, just like you.
00:10:38What are you, crazy?
00:10:40You could have hurt her.
00:10:42You missed.
00:10:46Oh, my goodness.
00:10:48Get off me.
00:10:52Choke on it, bitch.
00:10:58I'm gonna destroy you.
00:11:00Good luck with that.
00:11:02You already tried in high school, but I'm stronger now.
00:11:04Keep gnawing
00:11:06with my blessing.
00:11:08Do something!
00:11:10Ever flee?
00:11:12Take it off her!
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.
00:11:34Don't.
00:11:36It's Julian Barlow,
00:11:38from Barlow Hotels and Resorts.
00:11:40He owns this very hotel.
00:11:42You're lucky I don't sue you both
00:11:44for attempting to assault a minor.
00:11:46I didn't know it was your kid.
00:11:48So if she's a poor girl, hurting her is okay?
00:11:50This party's over.
00:11:52You two are banned for life
00:11:54from every Barlow property in the world.
00:11:56So this is what having someone
00:11:58stand up for you feels like?
00:12:04They were bad, Daddy.
00:12:06There are other people out there.
00:12:08That's why you can't run off the way you did.
00:12:10But I thought I'd really want to be with her.
00:12:12You need some rest.
00:12:14Go to the car.
00:12:16I love you, Andrew.
00:12:22Thank you for
00:12:24protecting my daughter.
00:12:26Thank you for saving me from my cheating ex-fiancé.
00:12:28That sounds like a desperate man
00:12:30trying to win you back.
00:12:32Yeah.
00:12:34Not happening.
00:12:40Seems we have a problem, Miss Harper.
00:12:42My daughter's heart
00:12:44is set on you being her mother.
00:12:50You also have a problem with your ex
00:12:52not getting the message.
00:12:54I propose a pretend relationship.
00:12:56Like a fake marriage?
00:12:58Exactly.
00:13:00I can protect you from your ex-fiancé
00:13:02and you can help me protect Bella
00:13:04from herself and my ex
00:13:06if she comes back into town.
00:13:08Is your ex really that bad?
00:13:10Kendra makes your high school nemesis
00:13:12look like a teddy bear.
00:13:14Do we have a deal?
00:13:16What if you want to be with someone for real?
00:13:18I won't.
00:13:20I've seen enough.
00:13:22I won't.
00:13:24I've sworn I'm not going to get married again.
00:13:34Yes, Mr. Barlow.
00:13:36We have a deal.
00:13:48Tomorrow night is the annual
00:13:50charity gala. Black Tie.
00:13:52There we'll introduce you to society.
00:13:56Why don't we start out slow?
00:13:58My mother will know if we don't show up
00:14:00as newlyweds.
00:14:02Didn't you say she lives in Paris?
00:14:04She has spies everywhere.
00:14:06Did you go to the gala with me?
00:14:08I don't, Julian.
00:14:10I'm more flower
00:14:12than flair.
00:14:16We have a boutique at the hotel.
00:14:18I think the right dress
00:14:20will ease some of your stress.
00:14:22I'm still super
00:14:24uncomfortable with all this.
00:14:26I don't want to embarrass you
00:14:28at the gala. Are you always going to be
00:14:30this touchy about my money?
00:14:32Most women can't wait to spend it.
00:14:34I'm a baker, not a socialite.
00:14:36You've been
00:14:38hanging out with the wrong crowd.
00:14:42Maybe I have.
00:14:44Do you mind?
00:14:46My mother will want a picture
00:14:48of the newlyweds.
00:14:58One other thing.
00:15:00Don't fall for me.
00:15:04Same goes for you.
00:15:12Boop.
00:15:16Boop.
00:15:18Well, hello, Mother.
00:15:20You're married? Who is this girl?
00:15:22Her name is
00:15:24Everly Harper. She's a sous-chef.
00:15:26Cordon Bleu trained, but she
00:15:28calls herself a baker.
00:15:30Ridiculous.
00:15:32Well, her parents died
00:15:34when she was six, and
00:15:36since then, she's had no relatives.
00:15:38She became a ward of the state
00:15:40and bounced around
00:15:42foster care, never really having
00:15:44a permanent home.
00:15:46So she's an orphan without social connections.
00:15:48What are her financials?
00:15:50Well, she has some student loan debt,
00:15:52and her business is barely making it.
00:15:54Despite that, she's won
00:15:56numerous awards and competitions
00:15:58for her.
00:16:00Oh my God, she's dirt poor.
00:16:02You've married a gold digger, Julian.
00:16:04Well, to be honest,
00:16:06my wealth is probably a bad thing
00:16:08in this case. She'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,
00:16:16Bella chose her to be her mother.
00:16:20Well, I'm just upset that my only son
00:16:22didn't inform me he was married.
00:16:24We'll be in touch.
00:16:30Well, that went exactly as expected.
00:16:32Yay!
00:16:34Everly's gonna be my new mommy!
00:16:36I should start calling you my little spy.
00:16:38Why does she move in?
00:16:40Um,
00:16:42I'm not sure. We haven't had that discussion.
00:16:44And she's gonna bake me more
00:16:46magical cookies filled with love.
00:16:48Has she done that before?
00:16:50Well, yes.
00:16:52Soon she'll be here, and she'll bake you
00:16:54many things full of love.
00:16:56Whee! Whee!
00:17:04Wait, you fake Mary and Julie
00:17:06and Barlow? I know, it's insane.
00:17:08Oh my god,
00:17:10you do know that your hubby is worth like a hundred billion dollars, right?
00:17:12Very funny.
00:17:14You think?
00:17:16I'm not joking.
00:17:18Whoa, I've never seen that many zeros
00:17:20in one spot. Oh my god,
00:17:22bestie!
00:17:24You're literally married to one of the richest dudes on the planet.
00:17:26Olivia and her totes are totally
00:17:28gonna flip out. We have to go to the high school reunion
00:17:30next weekend. I thought you said we were skipping that.
00:17:32Uh-uh, uh-uh, not anymore.
00:17:34We are going.
00:17:36Come on, please, please, please.
00:17:38Think about it.
00:17:40Whee!
00:17:42Why would someone like him even want a pretend
00:17:44marriage? I mean, he's
00:17:46charming, handsome,
00:17:48brilliant, and a good dad.
00:17:50Like, he could easily find a real
00:17:52wife. Maybe 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
00:18:00protective wife already.
00:18:02Shut up.
00:18:04So, when does Miss Barlow make her
00:18:06big debut? Tonight, actually.
00:18:10Care to help me find a dress for some exclusive
00:18:12gala? Oh my god, oh my god,
00:18:14oh my god, this is the most exclusive
00:18:16credit card of all credit cards. You can buy
00:18:18an island with this thing. I'm gonna be
00:18:20sick. Oh my god. I have to find a way to
00:18:22give it back to him. Everly Harper,
00:18:24you will do no such thing.
00:18:26Can you please just be a little selfish
00:18:28for the both of us and live a little?
00:18:30You're
00:18:32right.
00:18:34Let's do this.
00:18:46Okay, I can't do this.
00:18:48Forty thousand dollars for a dress is insane.
00:18:50You could feed an entire village for that price.
00:18:52Yeah, crazy world we live in.
00:18:54Hello, ladies. My name is
00:18:56Pilar. Should we try something on?
00:18:58It appears to be your size,
00:19:00but I do have a seamstress on standby.
00:19:02Can you maybe rent it instead?
00:19:04Rent?
00:19:06That'll be a thousand dollars
00:19:08a day, plus a four thousand
00:19:10dollars security deposit.
00:19:12Can you afford that?
00:19:14Oh my goodness,
00:19:16what manual labor job do you do?
00:19:18I'm a baker.
00:19:20Absolutely no rental
00:19:22for you. Those rough worker
00:19:24hands will snag the delicate fabric.
00:19:26There's a thrift store
00:19:28down the way that might be more
00:19:30at your speed. You don't understand. I'm attending
00:19:32the annual Celestial Charity Gala tonight.
00:19:34It's strictly black tie. What are you doing
00:19:36at Celestial, the most exclusive
00:19:38event in town? I know.
00:19:40You must be a waitress
00:19:42handing out caravans. Just buy it
00:19:44then.
00:19:48This is a black heart.
00:19:50Uh, obviously.
00:19:52Held up at
00:19:54boutique. Not going too
00:19:56well.
00:19:58Well,
00:20:00well, well. This card belongs
00:20:02to Mr. Barlow.
00:20:04How did it end up in your hands?
00:20:06Mr. Barlow happens to be my best friend's
00:20:08husband.
00:20:10As if. You must have
00:20:12stolen it. Security!
00:20:14Arrest these scammers for identity theft
00:20:16and fraud. Get your hands
00:20:18off of her, you animal.
00:20:22Let us...
00:20:25We're not thieves.
00:20:27You're making a mistake. The card was given
00:20:29to me. You're innocent.
00:20:35Get this trash out of my face.
00:20:39Let them go.
00:20:47Mr. Barlow, you're right on time.
00:20:49Okay, I just caught these scammers trying to charge
00:20:51$5,000 to your card.
00:20:53$5,000? When have you ever sold a dress
00:20:55under 30 grand? That was me.
00:20:57I was trying to rent it
00:20:59and said no dress is worth that much.
00:21:01Are you kidding me? Don't fall for
00:21:03this innocent act. She's a clever
00:21:05scammer. Did you see anything you
00:21:07like? This one.
00:21:09But we were told to shop at
00:21:11the thrift shop. I'm Samantha,
00:21:13by the way. I've heard so much about you.
00:21:15Pleasure to meet you, Samantha.
00:21:17Pilar, my wife was looking to outfit
00:21:19herself for tonight's gala entirely
00:21:21through your boutique. Unfortunately,
00:21:23you cut up our
00:21:25card.
00:21:27So she...
00:21:29She really is your
00:21:31wife?
00:21:33At Barlow, we believe in treating
00:21:35everyone with respect and
00:21:37dignity. Isn't your lease
00:21:39up in 30 days?
00:21:41Mr. Barlow, I am so,
00:21:43so sorry. Okay, Mrs. Barlow, please
00:21:45here. Take the dress.
00:21:47It's on the house. It's not
00:21:49necessary. Spill my account.
00:21:53And Barlow won't renew your
00:21:55lease. Not here, not
00:21:57anywhere. You're done,
00:21:59Pilar. I'll make sure you
00:22:01never work in retail again.
00:22:19I realize
00:22:25right now this is the first time I'm seeing
00:22:27the real Evelyn. You've been
00:22:29hiding in plain sight.
00:22:31Look over here!
00:22:33What's her name, man?
00:22:35I got you.
00:22:37What's her name?
00:22:49I feel
00:22:51like I don't fit in here.
00:22:53You don't fit in, Evelyn.
00:22:55You stand out. Don't be
00:22:57so obvious, Everly. You can't let yourself
00:22:59fall for him. It's true, everyone here is rich.
00:23:01But they're all human.
00:23:03Flaws and all.
00:23:05That's Chase
00:23:07and Daisy Harrington. They're in
00:23:09banking. I don't think you mean they work
00:23:11at the Teller window. Chase can
00:23:13often be found at the dog track, and
00:23:15Daisy's a lush. She's
00:23:17probably spiked her wine with vodka already.
00:23:19Man, that's awful.
00:23:21And that's Lily Blake Dubois
00:23:23and her second husband. He's
00:23:2525 years her junior.
00:23:27Men date women who are younger than them all the
00:23:29time. She was the PTA president
00:23:31and he was in ninth grade with
00:23:33her son when they met, when they started
00:23:35their affair. Oh my god.
00:23:37I get it. I am
00:23:39no longer intimidated by anyone in here.
00:23:41Mission accomplished.
00:23:43Mind if I join you,
00:23:45lovebirds?
00:23:47Mind if I join you,
00:23:49lovebirds?
00:23:51I'm too old
00:23:53for surprises, mother. You flew
00:23:55from Paris for nothing. Nothing?
00:23:57You're making a
00:23:59fool of yourself with this gold digger.
00:24:01Miss Barlow,
00:24:03let's get two things straight. One,
00:24:05my name is Everly Harper.
00:24:07And two,
00:24:09I am not a gold digger. I have earned
00:24:11my keep since I was six years old and I
00:24:13started my business from scratch.
00:24:15I don't need your money, but I
00:24:17would like your respect.
00:24:19So, I won't let anyone talk
00:24:21down to me, even if you are Julian's mother.
00:24:23Impudent girl.
00:24:25Meddling mother.
00:24:27Aren't
00:24:29you going to say anything?
00:24:31Meddling mother?
00:24:33I couldn't have put it better myself.
00:24:35I don't
00:24:37know what you did to trick my son into marriage,
00:24:39but I have my eye on you,
00:24:41Everly Harper.
00:24:43One false move and you are
00:24:45through. Alright, that's enough.
00:24:47Enjoy your evening alone,
00:24:49mother.
00:24:59Everly, I want to apologize.
00:25:03My mother was out of line.
00:25:05She didn't expect it either. She's so determined,
00:25:07she won't back down.
00:25:09We need to make sure she doesn't start
00:25:11digging into the details of our marriage.
00:25:13So, what's our next steps?
00:25:15I want you to
00:25:17move in with me.
00:25:21It was going to happen sooner or later.
00:25:23Mother just expedited it.
00:25:25That goes to the kitchen.
00:25:29Living room.
00:25:31It's just all moving a little too fast.
00:25:33I mean, one minute Julian's asking
00:25:35me to move in with him and the next,
00:25:37packing my stuff. But you gotta love a man that
00:25:39takes action, you know? You are oddly
00:25:41chipper about all this. I mean, here I was
00:25:43feeling bad about leaving you to find a new roommate.
00:25:45I don't know. I think I'm gonna try living alone
00:25:47for a while. Samantha, how can you afford that?
00:25:49The new landlord lowered everyone's rent.
00:25:51Since when?
00:25:53Since you became his fake bride.
00:25:55He knew that you felt bad for me
00:25:57and so he bought the entire apartment complex
00:25:59and lowered everyone's rent.
00:26:01That's...
00:26:03That's...
00:26:05Like...
00:26:07Everly, billionaires don't think like normal people, sweetie.
00:26:09This is your life now.
00:26:11You need to get used to it, okay?
00:26:17Are we gonna have gazpacho
00:26:19for dinner?
00:26:21If it pleases Miss Bella to have gazpacho.
00:26:23Hello!
00:26:25Okay, what can I get you today?
00:26:27Thank you. You're welcome.
00:26:35Shouldn't take me longer than two days
00:26:37to inspect the site in Indonesia.
00:26:39Are you sure you can watch Bella?
00:26:41I haven't hired a nanny yet and she
00:26:43tires Miss Delaney out.
00:26:45Don't worry about us. You focus on work.
00:26:47Bella and I will be just fine.
00:26:49I'll take you to the bakery with me, so have a blast.
00:26:51Here's a detailed list of her
00:26:53routines, do's and don'ts,
00:26:55allergies, emergency contact
00:26:57information, all the information
00:26:59you'll ever need. Love soccer,
00:27:01allergic to strawberries, doctor's
00:27:03number. I'm impressed.
00:27:05I wouldn't have thought a CEO like you
00:27:07would be this hands-on with this kid.
00:27:09Well, you thought wrong. Bella means
00:27:11the world to me.
00:27:23Daddy, why are you staring
00:27:25at Evelyn like that?
00:27:27You like her.
00:27:29Sorry, she doesn't know what she's talking about.
00:27:31Sometimes kids have a way of knowing
00:27:33the truth. They also have a way of being
00:27:35annoying. Well, anyways,
00:27:37me and Bun Bun wanted to play
00:27:39airplane. Alright, Munchkin,
00:27:41you have one minute.
00:27:43Yippee!
00:27:45Ready? Yeah!
00:27:51So this is what a happy family
00:27:53looks like. Looks so
00:27:55nice. I wonder if we
00:27:57could be a real family someday, just
00:27:59the three of us.
00:28:03Okay, chef,
00:28:05what's on the menu today?
00:28:07Chocolate
00:28:09cupcakes and chocolate donuts
00:28:11and chocolate cake
00:28:13and chocolate chip cookies.
00:28:15I'm sensing a chocolate
00:28:17theme. Okay, it's time to get to work,
00:28:19chef. Whoopee, chef!
00:28:25Ta-da! What do you think,
00:28:27chef?
00:28:31I can taste the love.
00:28:33What? The magic ingredient.
00:28:35I can taste it. That's good.
00:28:39Evelyn?
00:28:41Do you like my dad?
00:28:43Of course I
00:28:45like him. He's a great guy and a good
00:28:47dad. So you could become
00:28:49my mommy for real?
00:28:51Bella, I don't know
00:28:53what the future holds, but
00:28:55I know you have a very
00:28:57special place in my heart, okay?
00:28:59Okay.
00:29:03Whoa, that was
00:29:05fast.
00:29:07Okay, time for a rest.
00:29:11Daddy!
00:29:21Oh my god, I'm falling for him.
00:29:25Daddy!
00:29:27Did you miss me,
00:29:29Munchkin? So much, but
00:29:31Everly's the best. I got to be a
00:29:33chef. And we had
00:29:35a movie marathon, and I got
00:29:37to sleep in sheep tents in the living room,
00:29:39and we ate in the kitchen
00:29:41with Mrs. Delaney, who was all
00:29:43frowny, but then she was all smiley.
00:29:45I like the kitchen better than the dining room.
00:29:47Can we eat there from now on?
00:29:49I see you've made some changes.
00:29:51Very minor ones.
00:29:53Oops, did I say something bad?
00:29:55No, Munchkin. Daddy's just learning. He's a little
00:29:57set in his ways. You can do everything,
00:29:59dad, but you're a bad cook.
00:30:01And Everly's way better at girl stuff.
00:30:03You're like the prince, and Everly's the
00:30:05princess, and we can all live happily
00:30:07ever after. With fun ones, of course.
00:30:13Kids and their fairy tales.
00:30:15She'll understand
00:30:17that we can't be more than a pretend
00:30:19couple when she's older. Of course.
00:30:21She's still too little.
00:30:23We can't be more than a pretend couple.
00:30:25Right. It felt so
00:30:27real. I let myself forget it was a
00:30:29fake marriage. It can never be
00:30:31anything more.
00:30:39Oh, my God. You have
00:30:41to go. Oh, come on. Olivia
00:30:43and Nolan are gonna gossip about us if you do not
00:30:45show your face tomorrow. They're going to do that regardless.
00:30:47I'm sorry, Sammy. I thought about it,
00:30:49and I don't want to go to our high school reunion.
00:30:51Okay, hear me out. Just picture this. You
00:30:53walk in with your new, hot,
00:30:55billionaire husband. It's the perfect revenge
00:30:57for the mean girls that used to call us poor losers.
00:30:59No, I would never use Julian in that
00:31:01way. Well, if the thing is,
00:31:03I already told them that you would be there with them.
00:31:05Shh. Well, okay.
00:31:07Don't get upset. Don't get upset. It's just that Olivia
00:31:09posted that we were lying skinks, and then I kind of just
00:31:11blew it from there. And then all of a sudden... And Samantha, you
00:31:13make everything ten times worse. Don't worry.
00:31:15I'll go with you. I can't let
00:31:17my wife be humiliated. I came
00:31:19by to take you to dinner as a
00:31:21thank you for helping me with Bella.
00:31:23Did he really mean that?
00:31:25His wife? You should
00:31:27take the day off tomorrow and go pamper
00:31:29yourself. I'll make the arrangements with
00:31:31the hotel spa. On one condition.
00:31:33Can you make the reservation for two?
00:31:35I can
00:31:37do that.
00:31:39I want to get my nails done, too.
00:31:41What color do you want to get, Bella?
00:31:43The exact same as you.
00:31:45I also want to get some for Bun Bun.
00:31:47He looks great with those.
00:31:49You're so adorable.
00:31:51How could any mother abandon you?
00:31:53I wish you were
00:31:55really mine.
00:32:01Oh, my.
00:32:03Mr. Barlow said that you might need
00:32:05some help.
00:32:07Mr. Barlow said that you might need
00:32:09some help getting into it.
00:32:11I can't wear that,
00:32:13Miss Delaney. It's too beautiful
00:32:15and definitely way too expensive.
00:32:17Nonsense, dear.
00:32:19Mr. Barlow said to tell you
00:32:21you're the only one that can do it justice.
00:32:25Now, let's see
00:32:27it on you.
00:32:29I want to thank you
00:32:31for the dress.
00:32:33I'll find a way to pay you back.
00:32:35Seeing you in it is payment enough.
00:32:37You are drop-dead gorgeous,
00:32:39Everly.
00:32:41It's not me. It's the dress.
00:32:43Why do you do that?
00:32:45Why do you downplay your beauty?
00:32:47I don't like to draw attention to myself.
00:32:49You shouldn't have to dim your light
00:32:51to make others feel good about themselves.
00:32:59Mr. Barlow, sir,
00:33:01there is a visitor here
00:33:03demanding to speak with you.
00:33:05I'm not expecting anyone.
00:33:07It's your ex-wife.
00:33:13It's your ex-wife.
00:33:19Mr. Barlow, sir,
00:33:21there is a visitor here
00:33:23demanding to speak with you.
00:33:25I'm not expecting anyone.
00:33:27I'm not expecting anyone.
00:33:33I put Miss Rossi in the guest room.
00:33:35Where's Bella?
00:33:37She's with Miss Delaney in the playroom.
00:33:39Good. We need to keep Bella away from Kendra.
00:33:41I have to deal with her.
00:33:43I'll join you at the reunion when I'm done.
00:33:45I can just not go.
00:33:47No, Kendra is not going to disrupt our plans.
00:33:49My driver will take you there.
00:33:51I promise.
00:33:53It's been so long, Julian.
00:33:55Not long enough. What do you want?
00:33:57I want my daughter.
00:33:59I want Bella.
00:34:07I heard Everly
00:34:09is coming to the reunion.
00:34:11I thought that she would never show her face
00:34:13here ever again.
00:34:15Everly? The foster kid weirdo?
00:34:17Yeah, well she destroyed my engagement party
00:34:19so I'm going to destroy her tonight.
00:34:21Didn't Samantha say
00:34:23she's married to Julian Barlow?
00:34:25What if he's going to come with her?
00:34:27He might fuck her, but a Barlow
00:34:29is not going to marry trash like her.
00:34:31Give me that.
00:34:45She should be mine.
00:34:51Eyes on me, Nolan.
00:34:53They really did recreate senior prom.
00:34:55Yep, all the ways,
00:34:57the tacky decorations and the cheesy DJ.
00:34:59Last time I was here, I was with Nolan.
00:35:01My foster mom at the time
00:35:03helped make my dress and it looked it.
00:35:05We didn't even get our first dance
00:35:07before Olivia told everyone I had an STD.
00:35:09That's right, and then Nolan
00:35:11couldn't take it and he bailed?
00:35:13We should have known then that he was a dick.
00:35:15Yeah, 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
00:35:27looks 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.
00:35:35That dress is worth millions.
00:35:39It's just a cheap knockoff.
00:35:41Come on, girls.
00:35:43Let's give Everly a high school reunion
00:35:45she'll never forget.
00:35:47Let's give Everly a high school reunion
00:35:49she'll never forget.
00:35:51Hey!
00:35:53Where's your husband?
00:35:55Julian's on his way.
00:35:57Shut up, loser. No one's talking to you.
00:35:59Bitch.
00:36:01Give it up, Everly.
00:36:03We all know he got bored and dumped you.
00:36:05Like, okay.
00:36:07Did you just fucking shrug at me?
00:36:11Apparently you've forgotten your place.
00:36:13Must be that dress giving you attitude,
00:36:15but it's a cheap knockoff,
00:36:17just like you.
00:36:19I don't think it's a knockoff.
00:36:21It's a gift from my husband.
00:36:23Give it up, bitch.
00:36:25We all know you're lying, your husband,
00:36:27your dress.
00:36:29I call bullshit.
00:36:31Grow up, Olivia.
00:36:33You're too old to still be a mean girl.
00:36:35Hey, no, no, no.
00:36:37Let go of me, Nolan.
00:36:39Get your hands off of her.
00:36:41Just because you're fucking a Barlow
00:36:43doesn't make you royalty.
00:36:45Take that fake dress off,
00:36:47or I'll take it off for you.
00:36:49What makes you think it's fake?
00:36:51You clueless bitch.
00:36:53I'm a fashion influencer.
00:36:55With 1.8 million followers,
00:36:57you think you're a fashion influencer?
00:36:59You think you're a fashion influencer?
00:37:01You think you're a fashion influencer?
00:37:03With 1.8 million followers,
00:37:05you expect me to believe that
00:37:07white trash like you
00:37:09are wearing the Nightingale of Hanoi gown
00:37:11valued at $10 million?
00:37:15That's why Julian grinned
00:37:17when I said I'd pay him back for the dress.
00:37:19Take it off.
00:37:25Hey, no.
00:37:27Get off of her.
00:37:29Stop.
00:37:31Let go.
00:37:33No.
00:37:35No.
00:37:37No.
00:37:41Stop.
00:37:43Get away from my wife.
00:37:47Get away from my wife.
00:38:00Sorry I'm late.
00:38:02The dress is ruined.
00:38:04Please tell me it wasn't worth millions of dollars.
00:38:06I can't tell you that.
00:38:09Apologize to my wife, now.
00:38:11We were just joking.
00:38:13You know, fooling around.
00:38:15My wife was on the ground, soaking wet.
00:38:17Dressed torn.
00:38:19What you did was battery and harassment.
00:38:21My lawyer's not gonna think that's funny.
00:38:23I sure as hell don't.
00:38:25Lawyers? Who the hell are you?
00:38:27That's Julian Barlow.
00:38:29He's one of the richest men in the world.
00:38:31Do you know how much this dress is worth?
00:38:33Every bead is a genuine,
00:38:35flawless diamond.
00:38:37Miss St. James, you just ruined a $10 million gown.
00:38:39Oh, shit.
00:38:41No.
00:38:43No.
00:38:45No, that can't be.
00:38:47You better start liquidating all your assets,
00:38:49including your parents' house,
00:38:51because the insurance company is coming for your ass.
00:38:53Then the police.
00:38:55You ruined fashion after ruining one of the most
00:38:57famous dresses in the world.
00:38:59That's all your endorsements
00:39:01leaving you.
00:39:03That's all your
00:39:05endorsements leaving you.
00:39:07You did this.
00:39:09You set me up.
00:39:11You did it to yourself.
00:39:13Nolan, do something!
00:39:15I left the woman I love because you said we'd be rich
00:39:17and now you have nothing.
00:39:19You piece of shit.
00:39:21Nope.
00:39:23Don't do this.
00:39:25Please don't do this.
00:39:27I'm not the one you need to beg for forgiveness.
00:39:35I'm sorry, Everly.
00:39:37I never should have
00:39:39tormented you all of those years.
00:39:41You didn't deserve it.
00:39:43Then why did you do it?
00:39:45Why me?
00:39:49Why me?
00:39:51Because even with your shitty clothes,
00:39:53your terrible hair,
00:39:55you were still beautiful.
00:39:57Everyone could see it.
00:39:59I would kill to look like you
00:40:01and you treated it like it was nothing.
00:40:03So you hated me
00:40:05because I was pretty and didn't
00:40:07shove it in people's faces?
00:40:09That is so messed up.
00:40:11Well, I was right to hate you.
00:40:13Look at you.
00:40:15You bagged a billionaire
00:40:17without even trying.
00:40:19Everly is beautiful inside and out.
00:40:21That's what draws people to her.
00:40:23You're done here.
00:40:25I'm not going to push any criminal charges,
00:40:27but the insurance company will be reaching out.
00:40:29You're on the hook for that dress.
00:40:31Oh my God, I never thought that I'd see this
00:40:33in a lifetime.
00:40:35Please pinch me and tell me that I'm not dreaming.
00:40:37If you are, so am I.
00:40:39You want to get out of here?
00:40:41Yes, please.
00:40:49Bitches.
00:40:51Who knew that high school reunions
00:40:53would be this fun?
00:40:59Thank you for what you did.
00:41:01I never had anyone
00:41:03come to my rescue before.
00:41:05I enjoy doing it.
00:41:07You matter to me, Everly.
00:41:09Me and Belen.
00:41:11Hey.
00:41:13Of course.
00:41:15I understand.
00:41:17Thank you again.
00:41:19Have a good night, Julian.
00:41:21Everly, wait.
00:41:23That came out wrong.
00:41:25What I meant was
00:41:27I have feelings for you.
00:41:29But I don't want to lead you on.
00:41:31Kendra's betrayal of our marriage,
00:41:33it broke something inside of me
00:41:35and I don't think I can commit
00:41:37to another woman.
00:41:39I just want to be with you.
00:41:41I'm not asking for anything else.
00:41:43I'm not asking for anything else.
00:41:45I'm not asking for anything else.
00:41:47You're so amazing, Julian,
00:41:49and I like everything about you.
00:41:51You just...
00:42:09Sir, is that you?
00:42:11I heard a noise.
00:42:15Yes, Mr. Gibson.
00:42:17You can go to bed.
00:42:19Yes, sir. Good night, sir.
00:42:21Ma'am.
00:42:23That was embarrassing.
00:42:25I haven't got caught like that
00:42:27since I was a little school boy.
00:42:29Do you think he saw us?
00:42:31He probably did,
00:42:33but he's not going to say anything.
00:42:35I want nothing more
00:42:37than to take you upstairs right now.
00:42:39Me too.
00:42:41You're so honest, Everly.
00:42:44I want you to go to bed.
00:42:46You're too noble.
00:42:49No one's ever said that to me before.
00:42:53Good night, sweetheart.
00:42:57Now go
00:42:59before I change my mind.
00:43:03Did that just happen?
00:43:05Am I actually dating Julian Barlow?
00:43:13This is nice.
00:43:15Just holding your hand.
00:43:19What are we going to tell Bella?
00:43:21I don't want to get her hopes up,
00:43:23but we are dating now.
00:43:25Change of steps.
00:43:27We have to put her first.
00:43:29Have you always thought of others
00:43:31at the expense of yourself?
00:43:33That's why I was bullied so much growing up
00:43:35and why people take advantage of me.
00:43:37Don't say that.
00:43:39You're the best person I know, Everly.
00:43:41And I promise I won't let anyone
00:43:43hurt you anymore.
00:43:51So you think you can replace me
00:43:53with this whore, Julian?
00:43:55Let's see how that works out when I get through
00:43:57with the both of you.
00:44:03So,
00:44:05this is your latest slut.
00:44:07Ginger, are you following me?
00:44:09I need to know what her father is doing
00:44:11and who is doing.
00:44:13So you fuck the help now, Julian?
00:44:15Who I'm with is none of your business.
00:44:17You gave that right up three years ago
00:44:19when you cheated on me with my best friend.
00:44:21Then you abandoned your daughter and went to Europe
00:44:23with some tennis pro at a club.
00:44:25That was ages ago.
00:44:27I've changed now.
00:44:29I'm ready to be a wife and mother
00:44:31and you can't let this homewrecker
00:44:33get in the way of what we can have.
00:44:35Everly is my wife now.
00:44:37Stay away from Bella. You don't have visitation rights.
00:44:41Oh, we'll see about that.
00:44:43I'm Bella's birth mother.
00:44:45That's never going to change.
00:44:49I can't lose my daughter or we'll...
00:44:51You won't. We'll fight it together.
00:45:01Hello, sir.
00:45:03What can I get for you today?
00:45:05I need to ask a favor of you.
00:45:07Sorry.
00:45:09No freebies for men with mean ex-wives?
00:45:11No ex-wife.
00:45:13Just one wife right in front of me.
00:45:17I'm still working.
00:45:19I'll have to kick you out
00:45:21if you're not a paying customer.
00:45:23Then I'll pay now.
00:45:29I guess just bought the entire store.
00:45:31I need help
00:45:33from my favorite cake baker.
00:45:35Bella's Elementary School is hosting a bake sale
00:45:37and every family
00:45:39brings a homemade dessert
00:45:41and they all compete for first place.
00:45:43Would you want to go with us?
00:45:47You want me to be a part of your family?
00:45:49Part of your neighbors?
00:45:51Of course.
00:45:59No, you have to stir
00:46:01in the same direction clockwise 30 times.
00:46:03Wow.
00:46:05I had no idea you had to be so accurate.
00:46:07You do if you want to be the best.
00:46:11No, not like that. Like this.
00:46:19You are the worst student.
00:46:21I'm sorry I can't
00:46:23concentrate because my teacher's
00:46:25so hot.
00:46:31Oh.
00:46:39Evelyn and Daddy
00:46:41sitting in a tree.
00:46:43Can I ask
00:46:45if I can be?
00:46:47I'm gonna get you.
00:46:49Come here.
00:47:01Hey, Bella.
00:47:03Remember me?
00:47:05No.
00:47:07I'm your mother.
00:47:09No, you're not.
00:47:11Evelyn's my mom.
00:47:13I chose her.
00:47:15You little brat. You can't choose your mother.
00:47:17You're born with one and that's what you get.
00:47:19That's enough, Kendra.
00:47:21You're upsetting Bella and causing a scene.
00:47:23Whatever.
00:47:25Move aside.
00:47:27I'm going to win this bake sale
00:47:29like my mother is.
00:47:31Those are store-bought cookies.
00:47:33What is she thinking?
00:47:35No, she made those.
00:47:37Her family owns Rossi Cookies.
00:47:39They were franchised.
00:47:41They have stores in every country.
00:47:43You didn't tell me your ex was a world-renowned baker.
00:47:45She doesn't have a tenth of your talent.
00:47:47Her grandma's the baker.
00:47:49She uses the recipes.
00:47:51There's not one creative bone in her body.
00:47:53Oh my god.
00:47:55That's amazing.
00:47:57I want to buy all of it.
00:47:59Who made this?
00:48:01Julian Barlow?
00:48:03I had no idea he was such a talented baker.
00:48:09Here, try mine.
00:48:11Not to brag,
00:48:13but the Rossi name is renowned in the world of desserts.
00:48:15Not bad,
00:48:17but nowhere near the Barlow's.
00:48:19I'm telling you, you ought to taste it.
00:48:21It's simply magic in your mouth.
00:48:23I think we know who the winner is.
00:48:27Yay!
00:48:33You want to see magic?
00:48:35I'm going to make that bitch disappear.
00:48:37Abra-fucking-cadabra.
00:48:45Can't forget that.
00:48:47Top of Bella's grocery list.
00:48:49She would never forgive me.
00:48:51Well, aren't we the perfect little housewife?
00:48:53That is,
00:48:55until Bella is rushed to the hospital.
00:49:03Early! Hi!
00:49:05So lucky to run into you here.
00:49:07Oh. Oh, so.
00:49:09I owe you an apology
00:49:11for how weird I was to you earlier.
00:49:13In my defense,
00:49:15you'd have to be a mother to understand
00:49:17how it feels to see another woman raising a child.
00:49:19Do you have it in your heart to forgive me?
00:49:21It's Bella and Julian you owe an apology to,
00:49:23not me.
00:49:25Watch your back.
00:49:27There's a long line
00:49:29of women waiting to get their claws into Julian.
00:49:31Beautiful.
00:49:33Sexy. Sophisticated women.
00:49:35Who are suited to his lifestyle,
00:49:37pleasing his every
00:49:39want and desire.
00:49:41Is there some kind of threat?
00:49:43No.
00:49:45Just a cold, hard fact
00:49:47that you, Everly Harper,
00:49:49will never be more than
00:49:51a glorified babysitter to him.
00:49:53It's funny,
00:49:55because you'll never be more than a bitter memory
00:49:57to him.
00:49:59Now stop messing
00:50:01with our family.
00:50:03Next time, I won't be so nice.
00:50:07Next time,
00:50:09you'll be the psycho
00:50:11who drugged Julian's daughter.
00:50:15Can I ask you a question?
00:50:19Why did you choose me?
00:50:21Ooh.
00:50:23Where's this coming from?
00:50:25I mean, once Bella grows up
00:50:27and doesn't need a mom anymore,
00:50:29will you still want to be with me?
00:50:31Everly, sweetheart,
00:50:33this doesn't sound like you.
00:50:35It's just,
00:50:37I'm not like the society women
00:50:39you've dated in the past.
00:50:41What if you get bored with me?
00:50:43Imagine dating
00:50:45someone who barely eats
00:50:47because they're watching their figure
00:50:49and spends more time with their plastic surgeons
00:50:51than with their family.
00:50:53You mean these society women?
00:50:55You're so bad.
00:50:59I'm sorry.
00:51:01I let Kendra get in my head.
00:51:03When'd you see Kendra?
00:51:05Spell is school.
00:51:09This is Julian Barlow.
00:51:11Emergency room.
00:51:13Uh-huh.
00:51:15I understand. I'm on my way.
00:51:17What's going on? Is Bella okay?
00:51:19The school nurse said that she was poisoned.
00:51:21Something she ate.
00:51:23Something about a lollipop.
00:51:31Bella is asleep.
00:51:33Fortunately,
00:51:35the lab results just showed
00:51:37that it was a common prescribed sex
00:51:39sedative that was on the lollipop.
00:51:41How does this happen? I don't understand.
00:51:43I have to ask,
00:51:45have you had any threats recently
00:51:47or encountered any suspicious characters?
00:51:51I came as soon as I heard.
00:51:53How is our precious Bella?
00:51:55She's coming along.
00:51:57Okay. Poison?
00:51:59My God, what kind of monster
00:52:01would poison an innocent child?
00:52:03With a lollipop, no less.
00:52:05I'm sorry. Doctor, did you say lollipop?
00:52:07The perpetrator poisoned Julian
00:52:09and my daughter
00:52:11with a lollipop.
00:52:13Well, that's interesting
00:52:15because I ran into Everly
00:52:17at the bakery yesterday
00:52:19and I saw one of Bella's favorite
00:52:21rainbow-colored lollipops.
00:52:23Are you suggesting that I had
00:52:25something to do with this?
00:52:27You gave Bella that lollipop,
00:52:29did you not?
00:52:31No.
00:52:35I did, but...
00:52:37I can't believe this.
00:52:39Our precious Bella,
00:52:41our little angel, drugged
00:52:43by yet another babysitter.
00:52:45I did no such thing. I would never...
00:52:47Wait, hold on. Bella's been poisoned before?
00:52:49Is this true, Julian?
00:52:51When she was 18 months old, I had a babysitter
00:52:53and I haven't been able to trust anyone
00:52:55since then, just you.
00:52:57But now I...
00:52:59Now what?
00:53:01I'll tell you what.
00:53:03You're not coming near Bella ever again.
00:53:05No, no, this can't be real.
00:53:07You know I would never hurt Bella.
00:53:09You know I love her like she's my own daughter.
00:53:11Oh, but she's not.
00:53:13She's ours.
00:53:15Julian,
00:53:17will you be calling security
00:53:19or shall I?
00:53:21Julian, will you be calling security
00:53:23or shall I?
00:53:25Everly,
00:53:27I'm sorry.
00:53:29I'm sorry for ever doubting you,
00:53:31even for a second.
00:53:33I know that you could never harm Bella.
00:53:35Not because you're my wife,
00:53:37but because of your loving heart.
00:53:39Julian, what are you saying? She's dangerous!
00:53:41Stop, Kendra, just stop!
00:53:43But...
00:53:45Look at the evidence.
00:53:47Everly bought the rainbow-colored lollipop
00:53:49for Bella. Who else could have tampered with it?
00:53:51Wait.
00:53:53How did you know it was a rainbow lollipop?
00:53:55No one mentioned
00:53:57what color it was.
00:53:59It's... No, you switched them.
00:54:01At the bakery parking lot.
00:54:03That's why you were there.
00:54:05You drugged your own daughter
00:54:07just to frame me? What kind of sicko does that?
00:54:09You can't prove that.
00:54:11But your prescription medicine can.
00:54:13Julian, stop! That's not mine!
00:54:15She's been taking sanity since I met her.
00:54:19That's exactly what was found in Bella's system.
00:54:21It's...
00:54:23You psychotic bitch!
00:54:25First you tried to kill my daughter, now you're trying to frame my wife?
00:54:27It's common.
00:54:29It could be found from anywhere.
00:54:31It could have been anyone.
00:54:33It could have been you.
00:54:35It was you, wasn't it?
00:54:37I'm telling you, it wasn't!
00:54:41Bella's waking up.
00:54:47Thank God she's okay.
00:54:49The thought of losing her was too much to bear.
00:54:51We don't have to think about that.
00:54:53She has you.
00:54:55I have you.
00:54:57And we all have each other.
00:54:59Whatever comes our way.
00:55:01That's what family's for.
00:55:05That's what it means to love.
00:55:07And be loved.
00:55:09Exactly.
00:55:11Stop it.
00:55:13We're in the children's ward.
00:55:15I'm pretty sure all these doctors and nurses
00:55:17think all babies are born.
00:55:23Mommy? Daddy?
00:55:27Brain check?
00:55:29Oh, you can count on it.
00:55:31Is that my little munchkin in there making noise?
00:55:35Welcome in.
00:55:37What gang is starting?
00:55:39No.
00:55:41What, is there a rumor about selling a cake to your ex?
00:55:43Come on, Emily.
00:55:45Look, Everly, I'm sorry.
00:55:47I made a big mistake, I'll admit that.
00:55:49But I've changed.
00:55:51I left Olivia, and I just want to start fresh.
00:55:53I want to do this again.
00:55:55Are you serious?
00:55:57Yes, it was all Olivia's doing.
00:55:59You know how manipulative she can be.
00:56:01And I only loved you the entire time.
00:56:03You think Julian... Julian's a multi-billionaire.
00:56:05You think he'd really go for someone like you?
00:56:07I mean, get real, Everly.
00:56:09If he doesn't love you,
00:56:11I do.
00:56:13Ow!
00:56:17Get the hell out of my bakery.
00:56:19You little fucking bitch.
00:56:21No one's gonna come to save you.
00:56:27Stay away from my wife!
00:56:29Last warning, stay away from her or I'll break more than just your arm.
00:56:31Motherfucker.
00:56:33If I can't have her,
00:56:35no one can.
00:56:43Thank you for stepping in, Julian.
00:56:45I wish I could be here all the time, but I can't.
00:56:47Nolan.
00:56:49It's gonna be a problem.
00:56:51I can't exactly lock my doors.
00:56:53Don't work by yourself anymore.
00:56:55Make sure Samantha's with you.
00:57:01I'm in for the lunch, kid.
00:57:07Pick her up right now.
00:57:09We'll see you later?
00:57:11Stay alert.
00:57:27And the hits keep coming.
00:57:29First my ex,
00:57:31now his.
00:57:33We never catch a break.
00:57:37We have to keep that from Bella.
00:57:39I'll get my lawyer to file a restraining order
00:57:41against Kendra this week.
00:57:43Maybe there's a way we can make peace
00:57:45with Bella's mom.
00:57:47We've tried.
00:57:49She's turned every attempt against us,
00:57:51including Bella.
00:57:53I can't risk
00:57:55losing my daughter.
00:57:57How can I help
00:57:59protect Bella?
00:58:01No, Everly, it's not your fight.
00:58:03Listen, it's not your fight.
00:58:05No, Everly, it's not your fight.
00:58:07Listen, A's contract or not, you and I are in this together.
00:58:09I can't stand by while you and Bella
00:58:11suffer.
00:58:13I can't stand by while you and Bella
00:58:15suffer.
00:58:33What if Bella makes up?
00:58:35She hung her head years ago.
00:58:37I just kept it.
00:58:39I know.
00:58:43I know.
00:59:13I know.
00:59:23What are your thoughts
00:59:25on a family date?
00:59:27The three of us.
00:59:29You want to go on a picnic?
00:59:31I'll go wherever you'll
00:59:33take me.
00:59:37So where did you get Bella?
00:59:39When I was three years old.
00:59:41Yep, we were outside
00:59:43and she saw a rabbit run across the yard
00:59:45and she looked at me and reached her hands out
00:59:47and I said, no, you can't have a wild animal.
00:59:49So she started crying.
00:59:51So naturally I got her bun bun the next day.
00:59:53Naturally.
01:00:01Bella, my baby.
01:00:03Come to mom.
01:00:05What are you doing here? You look like a stalker.
01:00:07I'm still your mother
01:00:09and I brought your favorite food,
01:00:11strawberries.
01:00:13Everly loves me more than you
01:00:15and I love her too and I can't eat
01:00:17strawberries.
01:00:19Darling,
01:00:21that woman is just
01:00:23after daddy's money.
01:00:25You're lying. I hate you.
01:00:27You can't talk to me like that.
01:00:29I'm your mother.
01:00:31No, you're not. Everly is my mommy.
01:00:33You're scary.
01:00:35You little rat.
01:00:37Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:00:39Mommy, daddy!
01:00:41Someone needs to teach you
01:00:43some manners.
01:00:45Mommy, daddy!
01:00:47Kendra, what the hell?
01:00:49I'm trying to protect my daughter from this fucking bitch.
01:00:51Hey, watch your language in front of Bella.
01:00:53Strawberries?
01:00:55Kendra, are you insane?
01:00:57Bella's deathly allergic.
01:00:59How was I supposed to know? You never let me see that.
01:01:01That's a lie. You abandoned her.
01:01:03Shut up, you lying gold digger.
01:01:05You're twice the mother that you'll ever be.
01:01:07Bella!
01:01:09Come back, sweetie.
01:01:11She's overwhelmed. You're scaring her.
01:01:13You know
01:01:15nothing about my daughter,
01:01:17but I know about you.
01:01:19You're just a foster kid, one step
01:01:21up from the gutter.
01:01:23Bella and I both know that Everly is the best
01:01:25thing to happen to this family.
01:01:27Bella,
01:01:29sweetie, you can't possibly
01:01:31think that this poor substitute is better
01:01:33than a real mother.
01:01:35We have the same blood.
01:01:37You're part Rossi.
01:01:39You can't ask your daughter that. Shut up!
01:01:41Kendra, this isn't some game
01:01:43that you can win. This is Bella and Julian's
01:01:45lives.
01:01:47I don't know why, but you abandoned them.
01:01:49You trying to snatch them back
01:01:51just so you can win won't make you happy.
01:01:53You have to move on.
01:01:55You have to move on.
01:01:59I know I don't deserve her,
01:02:01but I found out last month
01:02:03that I'm infertile.
01:02:05I can never have
01:02:07another baby.
01:02:09Bella's it for me.
01:02:21I know she's done some bad things,
01:02:23but she's still your mother,
01:02:25Bella. Why don't you go give her a hug?
01:02:27I don't
01:02:29really hate you.
01:02:31I know, baby.
01:02:35It's all my fault.
01:02:41You're right.
01:02:43I only wanted to win.
01:02:45You can win a game,
01:02:47but you can never win someone's heart.
01:02:49You're very wise.
01:02:51Don't get me wrong, I don't want
01:02:53to be your friend. I'm just
01:02:55trying to leave my daughter with a happy memory.
01:03:01Take care, Kendra.
01:03:03Maybe one day I'll let Bella write you.
01:03:05She's older.
01:03:09Bye, sweetie.
01:03:13She fell for my sob story.
01:03:15Stupid bitch.
01:03:17I won't stop until I get my man back
01:03:19and the kid with him.
01:03:25Oh!
01:03:27What's all this for?
01:03:31100th Annual International Bake-Off.
01:03:33Sounds like a big deal.
01:03:35It's invitation only,
01:03:37and I can't believe I got in.
01:03:39If I do well, it'll really help
01:03:41put the bakery on the map.
01:03:43Well, given how you rocked that bake sale,
01:03:45you've got this in the bag.
01:03:47That was nothing. I need a showstopper
01:03:49that's going to dazzle their taste buds
01:03:51and win over their hearts.
01:03:53Hmm.
01:03:55So what's the secret weapon?
01:03:57Vanilla rosemary
01:03:59five-layer cake topped with a lavender
01:04:01buttercream and a hint of orange zest.
01:04:03Sounds like I need to clear some space
01:04:05on the mantle for that first-place trophy.
01:04:07Cut it out!
01:04:09I'm trying to concentrate.
01:04:11Oh. Am I distracting you?
01:04:13I'm a sucker
01:04:15for a messy apron.
01:04:19Okay, fine. You can stay,
01:04:21but you have to make yourself useful.
01:04:23What's first, chef?
01:04:27Ladies and gentlemen,
01:04:29welcome to our 100th Annual
01:04:31International Bake-Off.
01:04:33Please find your seat.
01:04:35Our competition will start shortly.
01:04:41You got this, girl.
01:04:43We'll be in the front row cheering you on, okay?
01:04:45Thanks, Sammy.
01:04:47I'm gonna go check my presentation one more time.
01:04:51Knock them dead out there,
01:04:53sweetheart.
01:04:57Good luck.
01:05:05There you are, falling nicely into my trap.
01:05:07Who do you think arranged
01:05:09the invite, you pathetic nobody?
01:05:11Hey, Everly.
01:05:13Ready to get crushed.
01:05:15What are you doing here?
01:05:17Are you stalking me?
01:05:19You look scared.
01:05:21You should be.
01:05:23I'm going to win that trophy
01:05:25and confuse the butter baker and mother.
01:05:27I'm infertile.
01:05:29I can never have another baby.
01:05:31So everything you said
01:05:33is true?
01:05:35I'm infertile.
01:05:37I can never have another baby.
01:05:39So everything you said at the park
01:05:41was a lie. You're not infertile.
01:05:43You just can't stand that Bella chose me.
01:05:45I'm her fucking mother bitch.
01:05:47You're a monster.
01:05:49And you're just an amateur who doesn't deserve to be here.
01:05:53Did you really think you earned a place
01:05:55in this competition?
01:05:57I'm the one who got the judges to invite you
01:05:59and now Julian's going to see what a poor
01:06:01orphan loser you truly are.
01:06:05Bring it on, Rossi.
01:06:07You must be his heart and soul
01:06:09and they will beat your assembly line crap
01:06:11any day.
01:06:13Oh yeah?
01:06:15Do you know what goes great with cake?
01:06:17What?
01:06:19Coffee.
01:06:21Oops!
01:06:23Oops!
01:06:29Kendra, what the hell?
01:06:31You better go get cleaned up.
01:06:33Wouldn't want to meet the judges looking like that.
01:06:35So unsanitary.
01:06:53Your knight in shining armor can't save your ass
01:06:55this time.
01:06:57Neverly.
01:06:59Our next competitor, Kendra
01:07:01Rossi.
01:07:05Hi judge.
01:07:07This is my own
01:07:09one of a kind original recipe.
01:07:13A vanilla
01:07:15rosemary five layer cake
01:07:17with lavender buttercream and a hint
01:07:19of orange zest.
01:07:21That's my cake!
01:07:25What are you talking about?
01:07:27You stole my recipe.
01:07:29A nobody accusing me,
01:07:31a Rossi, of cheating?
01:07:33How dare you?
01:07:35Man.
01:07:37You have impeccable taste in women
01:07:39because obviously you chose Everly
01:07:41but that woman up there?
01:07:43How did you end up with such a nightmare ex?
01:07:45I was young.
01:07:47And stupid.
01:07:49Obviously. So what are we going to do to salvage this?
01:07:51Can't you just pull some strings or something?
01:07:53You're Julie and freaking Barlow for goodness sake.
01:07:55It's not that simple. I know Everly wouldn't
01:07:57want to win that way.
01:07:59Dammit.
01:08:01So what do we do now?
01:08:03Kendra can't
01:08:05get away with this.
01:08:07A nobody accusing me,
01:08:09a Rossi, of cheating?
01:08:11How dare you?
01:08:17You better go get cleaned up.
01:08:19Wouldn't want to meet the judges looking like that.
01:08:21So that's why you
01:08:23spilled coffee on me.
01:08:25So you could hack my laptop behind my back
01:08:27the same way you switched the lollipops behind my back
01:08:29when you poisoned Bella.
01:08:31That is a
01:08:33serious accusation.
01:08:35Can you prove that this cake
01:08:37is your creation?
01:08:39Here's your proof.
01:08:47We can't see anything.
01:08:49The screen is blank.
01:08:51We can't
01:08:53see anything. The screen is blank.
01:08:55What happened to my files?
01:08:57They're not there.
01:08:59As I said, this recipe is mine
01:09:01and mine alone. No, no, no, no.
01:09:03It's not true. Kendra Rossi,
01:09:05you're a thief.
01:09:07I think we've heard enough. Sir, I know
01:09:09this recipe, my recipe by heart.
01:09:11I can recite it from memory.
01:09:13I'm afraid that doesn't prove anything.
01:09:15Now, I think it's
01:09:17best that you leave the stage now
01:09:19before I have to
01:09:21disqualify you.
01:09:23Isn't that the baker from
01:09:25Great Escape Bakery?
01:09:27I'm not going to her shop, ever.
01:09:33Wait!
01:09:35Wait!
01:09:39This will prove the recipe is Everly's.
01:09:47Now, you're going to want to let it cool
01:09:49for about ten minutes.
01:09:51Hey, back on me. This is the important part.
01:09:53The last step is to lightly dust
01:09:55with a layer of orange zest.
01:09:57Just enough to reach the edges.
01:10:03And then,
01:10:05you're going to want to add a pinch of salt.
01:10:07And...
01:10:09Voila!
01:10:11You'll see the time stamp of this raw footage
01:10:13was taken two weeks ago.
01:10:15And speaking from experience,
01:10:17no one
01:10:19can make this cake exactly like my wife.
01:10:23Here.
01:10:29Something's different.
01:10:31Taste for yourself.
01:10:33Here.
01:10:35Salt.
01:10:37Salt.
01:10:39Missing the salt.
01:10:41I didn't include it in my recipe notes.
01:10:43It was a last-minute spur-of-the-moment addition.
01:10:45Totally spontaneous.
01:10:47And yet, it made all the difference in the world.
01:10:49Salt?
01:10:51Salt?
01:11:09Salt or not,
01:11:11this is no ordinary cake.
01:11:13And it could only come
01:11:15from the heart and soul
01:11:17of an extraordinary baker.
01:11:21Salt.
01:11:25You almost ruined my wife today!
01:11:27This is your last straw!
01:11:29Confess, or I'm calling the police!
01:11:31But I didn't.
01:11:33Okay, okay!
01:11:35I did it.
01:11:37I did it.
01:11:39All of it.
01:11:41Are you happy now?
01:11:43Dragging me in the mud like this in front of everyone?
01:11:45Julian, you broke my heart!
01:11:47You have to have a heart for it to be broken.
01:11:49How can you say that?
01:11:51I loved you
01:11:53more than anything.
01:11:55And then this bitch gets into the picture
01:11:57and suddenly I'm nothing?
01:11:59Just some garbage you can throw away?
01:12:01What is so special about her, Julian?
01:12:03She's not prettier than me.
01:12:05She can't be better in bed than me.
01:12:07What do you possibly see in her
01:12:09that you don't see in me?
01:12:11Maybe I'm just a better baker than you, Kendra.
01:12:15Here.
01:12:17Have a taste.
01:12:19I don't want your stupid salt.
01:12:21Oh my god!
01:12:23Oh my god!
01:12:25It smells disgusting.
01:12:27It smells like a rotten potato chip
01:12:29and Bella could have made a better cake than that.
01:12:33I...
01:12:35I don't even know what to say
01:12:37about everything that's going on here.
01:12:39Say I can present my cake.
01:12:41That's all I came here to do, sir.
01:12:43Fair enough.
01:12:45The ingredients in my cake are pretty traditional
01:12:47in terms of regular cake ingredients.
01:12:49I like the rosemary because it tends to cut through
01:12:51the sweetness of traditional cakes
01:12:53while also balancing the orange zest
01:12:55aromatic flavoring that we really look for
01:12:57in a well-balanced cake.
01:12:59I also, um, not listed,
01:13:01I add a little bit of salt on top just to balance
01:13:03everything out and I hope you really like it.
01:13:05We have seen
01:13:07a lot of great bakes this year
01:13:09but nothing in the history of this competition
01:13:11has ever compared
01:13:13to this year's
01:13:15first prize winner
01:13:17Everly Harper.
01:13:19This year's first prize winner
01:13:21Everly Harper.
01:13:25Congratulations, Miss Harper.
01:13:29Truly, truly, truly,
01:13:31congratulations.
01:13:33Congratulations, Miss Harper.
01:13:35Truly well-deserved.
01:13:37Would you excuse me?
01:13:43Oh, we did it, Samantha, we did it.
01:13:45No, Everly, you did this.
01:13:47Hold on.
01:13:51Listen to this.
01:13:53Orders are flooding in like crazy.
01:13:55No, no, no, no, no.
01:13:57I've got this. Trust me.
01:13:59Now get out of here. Go celebrate with your hubby.
01:14:01Yeah?
01:14:05I am so proud of you, Everly.
01:14:15Get lost.
01:14:17I'm more likely to stick a bitch
01:14:19than suck a dick right now.
01:14:21Good. Then we both want the same thing.
01:14:23Yeah?
01:14:25What's that?
01:14:27Revenge.
01:14:29I've spent two weeks learning everything I can
01:14:31about Julian Barlow and Everly Harper's relationship.
01:14:33And I think what I found might
01:14:35interest you.
01:14:37Who the fuck are you?
01:14:39I'm someone that hates Julian.
01:14:41And I heard you're someone that hates Everly.
01:14:43So I have a plan
01:14:45that'll get us both what we want.
01:14:47I'm listening.
01:14:49I'm listening.
01:14:57Am I doing it right?
01:14:59Those look great.
01:15:01Just squeeze your bag a little bit tighter.
01:15:03More icing equals more smiles.
01:15:07Okay. Time to switch to croissants.
01:15:09The chocolate-filled kind?
01:15:11All different kinds.
01:15:13Can you go in the freezer in the back
01:15:15and get me two blocks of butter?
01:15:17Left side, middle shelf, two blocks.
01:15:19Got it.
01:15:35You're coming with me, Bella.
01:15:37I'm your mother.
01:15:39Not that whore.
01:15:41Save your breath, kid.
01:15:43She can't hear you anyway.
01:15:45Everly!
01:15:47Everly! Shut up.
01:15:51Let go!
01:15:53Let go!
01:16:15Bella? Bella?
01:16:17Bella!
01:16:23Bella!
01:16:31Everly!
01:16:33Back here!
01:16:37Tips.
01:16:39Shh.
01:16:49This is Julian Barlow.
01:16:51And if I don't get 200 million
01:16:53in cash by sundown, she won't see the sunrise.
01:16:55What did you do with Bella?
01:16:57Who is this?
01:16:59Ten million. Unmarked bills split into
01:17:01two separate duffel bags.
01:17:03Let me talk to Bella. I need to know she's safe.
01:17:05Only after I get the money.
01:17:07Damn you!
01:17:09She's just a little girl.
01:17:11There's an abandoned campsite at the end of Canyon Ridge Road.
01:17:13Put the cash inside the office cabin
01:17:15and come alone,
01:17:17because I'll be watching.
01:17:19Bella!
01:17:25What are we gonna do?
01:17:27I'll call my bank.
01:17:29I'll get the money within an hour.
01:17:35Hello? Anybody?
01:17:37Hello?
01:17:39What is she doing here?
01:17:41I need an explanation for this.
01:17:43Mother, now is not the time for this.
01:17:45I had to learn from Kendra that you're not married at all,
01:17:47and that you fake everything.
01:17:49What is this? This is from my safe.
01:17:51Combination was Bella's birthday.
01:17:53Very sloppy of you, Julian.
01:17:55How could you lie to your own mother
01:17:57and present this fraud
01:17:59as if she were actually your wife?
01:18:01I knew she was a gold digger, but I didn't know she was a tramp for hire.
01:18:03Silence!
01:18:07This is not important right now.
01:18:09That is just a piece of paper, Mother.
01:18:11I have to find Bella. She's been kidnapped.
01:18:13My grandbaby has been kidnapped?
01:18:15What happened?
01:18:17Bella and I were baking, and someone grabbed me.
01:18:21I blacked out, and when I woke up, she was gone.
01:18:25I have to get the ransom money together now,
01:18:27so if you two could please just...
01:18:29Just what?
01:18:31Stand aside and let you handle it?
01:18:33You brought this tramp into my daughter's home,
01:18:35and because of her, Bella's life is at stake.
01:18:39Ew.
01:18:41It smells.
01:18:43Did you just let common street trash walk in here?
01:18:45Don't talk about him like that.
01:18:47Bernie is a veteran. He served our country.
01:18:49I'm sorry, Bernie.
01:18:51I don't have the day offs for you today.
01:18:53But I have something for you.
01:18:55That lady?
01:18:57I saw her. And a tall man.
01:19:03Go back and crawl into whatever hole you came out of,
01:19:05you filthy animal.
01:19:07I saw them.
01:19:09They took that little girl.
01:19:11Fucking bitch!
01:19:13What did you do?
01:19:15Where's Bella?
01:19:17He's obviously deranged. Or on drugs. Or both.
01:19:19The tall man.
01:19:21Did he have short, blonde hair?
01:19:23Athletic build?
01:19:27Nolan.
01:19:29She's working with Nolan.
01:19:31Where is she?
01:19:33Where's Bella? Tell me now!
01:19:35I...
01:19:39Oh!
01:19:41What the hell?
01:19:43Where's my daughter?
01:19:49Where is she?
01:20:05Daddy?
01:20:07It's okay.
01:20:13My little escape artist.
01:20:15You can come out now, Munchkin.
01:20:17It's safe.
01:20:19Daddy and Evelyn are here.
01:20:31This is ridiculous!
01:20:33It's not kidnapping, it's your own child!
01:20:35It's over.
01:20:37It's finally over.
01:20:39Is it me and Mommy gone for good, Daddy?
01:20:41She'll never bother you again, Munchkin.
01:20:43I want you both to know that
01:20:45I'm very ashamed for my part
01:20:47in Kendra's scheme.
01:20:49But you can't continue this fake marriage.
01:20:51You're right, Mother.
01:21:05Beverly Harper,
01:21:07you're the most loving, brave,
01:21:09and talented woman I've ever known.
01:21:11Your beauty is just dessert
01:21:13after a rich meal.
01:21:15My life fills full with you in it.
01:21:17Will you do me the honor
01:21:19of marrying me?
01:21:27Julian Barlow,
01:21:29if I was to create a recipe
01:21:31for the bravest, smartest,
01:21:33most loving man,
01:21:35it would be you.
01:21:37Your wealth is not a dessert,
01:21:39but a mere appetizer.
01:21:41So, yes, I will marry you.
01:21:43Any two.
01:21:49I don't know what all that nonsense
01:21:51about food was,
01:21:53but the rest was lovely.
01:21:55I guess I'll give the girl a chance
01:21:57if she can make my son and grandbaby
01:21:59smile like that.
01:22:03This way, look at this way.
01:22:05Here they come.
01:22:07Oh my gosh, do you see them?
01:22:09Woo!
01:22:11Woo!
01:22:15So pretty.
01:22:21I helped make that.
01:22:23Yes, you did, Bella.
01:22:25Have you guys ever seen
01:22:27such a beautiful family?
01:22:29I'm so happy for you.
01:22:33Mommy,
01:22:35how about a cake fight?
01:22:37You're a girl after my own heart,
01:22:39Bella.
01:22:41Everybody, cake fight!
01:23:01Cake fight!
01:23:17Couldn't you have
01:23:19gotten me something more practical?
01:23:21This is going to be a bear to bake with.
01:23:23Only my wife would complain about a fifteen
01:23:25carat flawless diamond being too big.
01:23:27Sorry.
01:23:29I'm not.
01:23:33God, I love you.
01:23:37Hey, Mr. Barlow.
01:23:39Hey, Miss Barlow.
01:23:41Who said I was changing
01:23:43my name?
01:23:47On the topic of change,
01:23:49I've been thinking.
01:23:51Bella needs a playmate.
01:23:53What do you think we give her a sibling?
01:23:55Just one.
01:23:57Foster kid here.
01:23:59I always dreamed of having a big family.
01:24:01Well, how big are we talking?
