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