00:00:00Bella?
00:00:01Bella?
00:00:02Where did she go?
00:00:03The gardener says Miss Bella's not on the grounds.
00:00:06She's disappeared again.
00:00:07We'll tell the design team to go big or go home.
00:00:10We're not building some quaint bed and breakfast.
00:00:13This is a billion dollar Barlow resort on a private island off Dubai.
00:00:17We need to crush this.
00:00:19Crush!
00:00:20Crush!
00:00:21Crush!
00:00:22Crush!
00:00:23Crush!
00:00:24Crush!
00:00:25Crush!
00:00:26Crush!
00:00:27Crush!
00:00:28Crush!
00:00:29Crush!
00:00:30Steve, I have to call you back.
00:00:32How did you get in here, Bella?
00:00:35My little escape artist.
00:00:41What am I going to tell Mr. Barlow?
00:00:43Post alarm.
00:00:44She's here, everyone.
00:00:49Thank God!
00:00:50I only took my eyes off her for a second.
00:00:53She needs a leash.
00:00:55I'm not a dog.
00:00:56No, a dog behaves better.
00:00:58Daddy!
00:00:59Okay, everyone, let's get back to it.
00:01:01These decorations aren't going to put themselves up.
00:01:03Miss Delaney, I'm sorry.
00:01:05I will be hiring a new nanny soon.
00:01:07Well, how long do you think this is going to last?
00:01:09She's scared off three in a year.
00:01:12I don't want a nanny.
00:01:14I want a mommy.
00:01:15I want a mommy.
00:01:27I'm not Everly.
00:01:28Can you see?
00:01:29It's a circus out there, like a literal freaking circus.
00:01:31Oh my God, there's jugglers, there's clowns, there's even a man on stilts.
00:01:34Can you imagine having a birthday like this when you were just eight years old?
00:01:37Foster kid here.
00:01:38I used to blow out imaginary candles and dream of real cake.
00:01:45This is my favorite part.
00:01:48Somebody's a little too in touch with their inner child.
00:01:53When your mother proposed this blind date, I was a little hesitant.
00:01:57I just couldn't believe that any man can live up to the image that she painted.
00:02:02Yes, she's very good at talking me up.
00:02:04In your case, she really didn't do you justice.
00:02:09I'd love to slip away from the crowd and get to know you better.
00:02:13You're at my eight-year-old's birthday party.
00:02:15I wasn't interested before, but now I want you to leave.
00:02:22Wait for it.
00:02:27Why, hello, mother.
00:02:28Julian, Bianca is hysterical and you have embarrassed me.
00:02:33Well, stop setting me up with random women.
00:02:35I'm not getting married again.
00:02:36Once was enough.
00:02:37Kendra and the race car driver have ended it.
00:02:40Right now, you have sole custody of Bella.
00:02:43But the courts favor the mother, Julian.
00:02:45You and I both know Kendra could show up at any time
00:02:48and demand that Bella live with her just to spite you.
00:02:52I'm not letting that witch anywhere near my daughter.
00:02:55Find yourself a wife and show the world a stable family.
00:02:59Not for your own happiness, but for your child's.
00:03:03Mother might be dramatic, but she's right about Bella needing a mom.
00:03:08Perhaps a fake wife would do.
00:03:12Got vanilla for you.
00:03:16What's your favorite flavor?
00:03:18Chocolate.
00:03:20So, do you want to know what makes everything taste so good?
00:03:24The secret ingredient is...
00:03:27The secret ingredient is...
00:03:32Love.
00:03:42Girl, I'm so exhausted. I'm heading home. You coming?
00:03:45I'm going to stay and finish the engagement cake for tomorrow.
00:03:47Okay.
00:03:50Hey, Bernie.
00:03:51Let me grab you the day holds.
00:03:58Tell Rose and Pete I included the pecan cinnamon rolls just for them.
00:04:13Oh, my gosh. You scared me.
00:04:16Where did you come from, sweetheart?
00:04:18Where are your parents?
00:04:20Are you lost?
00:04:22What's your name?
00:04:24I'm Everly.
00:04:25I'm Everly.
00:04:27You don't want to tell me, huh?
00:04:30Guess I'll just have to guess.
00:04:33Your name is Olga.
00:04:37Gertrude.
00:04:39Prudence.
00:04:40Hazel.
00:04:41Constance.
00:04:42Phyllis.
00:04:43Henrietta.
00:04:46Bertha.
00:04:47It's Bella!
00:04:50The birthday girl.
00:04:51She must have stowed away in the truck.
00:04:52Bella!
00:04:55Bella!
00:05:00You scared me, Bella Barlow.
00:05:03Sorry, Daddy.
00:05:04What were you thinking?
00:05:05I found my mommy!
00:05:11I'm so sorry. She's never done anything like this.
00:05:14I want Everly to be my mommy.
00:05:16Bella Munchkin, please.
00:05:19You know, my daddy has lots of money.
00:05:22All you have to do is marry him and be my mommy.
00:05:25Bella, you don't marry someone for money.
00:05:28You do it because you love them so much.
00:05:31And it feels like they're a part of you.
00:05:34Like you can't picture your life without them in it.
00:05:39I know you're supposed to be my mommy.
00:05:43I'm engaged to someone else.
00:05:46Come on, Bella.
00:05:48We've taken up enough of Miss Harper's time.
00:05:53So, a hot guy and a cute little girl were like,
00:05:55come be my Insta family?
00:05:57The little girl was.
00:05:58The dad was kind of mortified.
00:06:00Bella reminds me of what I was like after the car accident.
00:06:03Kept going up to perfect strangers,
00:06:05looking for my parents.
00:06:07Just couldn't accept that they were gone.
00:06:13Hey, beautiful.
00:06:14I miss you already.
00:06:15When are you back from your business trip?
00:06:17Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:06:19Hey, beautiful.
00:06:20I miss you already.
00:06:21When are you back from your business trip?
00:06:22Oh, I'm back Monday.
00:06:24We'll see each other then.
00:06:26Are you calling me from the bathroom?
00:06:28Uh, no.
00:06:29The guests next door are just really loud.
00:06:32I gotta go.
00:06:33I love you.
00:06:39Hello, Earth to Everly.
00:06:41What?
00:06:42I was just thinking about what I told the little girl.
00:06:44All the reasons you marry someone,
00:06:46I've never actually felt any of those things.
00:06:49Well, you better decide sooner rather than later.
00:06:51Well, Nolan and I have been together since high school.
00:06:54Loyalty counts for something.
00:06:56At least what we have is real.
00:07:05Okay, this hotel is huge.
00:07:06Where is the engagement party being held?
00:07:08Uh, restaurant.
00:07:10Okay, yes.
00:07:12I'm bored.
00:07:13I'm sorry, Munchkin, but after yesterday,
00:07:15I'm not letting you out of my sight.
00:07:17Bella was bad.
00:07:18Bella was very bad.
00:07:20But I'll take you to get ice cream if you're very good.
00:07:25I want cupcake.
00:07:27Nice try, kiddo.
00:07:41Okay.
00:07:52That must be the bride-to-be.
00:07:54Hey, delivery for the lovely bride.
00:07:56Can I just get your signature on this really quick?
00:08:03Oh, my gosh.
00:08:05Everly.
00:08:07Well, you haven't changed a bit since high school, huh?
00:08:11Are you still a pathetic orphan with no money?
00:08:14Or taste?
00:08:16Olivia, this is your engagement party.
00:08:19Who would marry a raging bully like you?
00:08:22Everly, what are you doing here?
00:08:28Nolan, I...
00:08:30I don't understand.
00:08:32Isn't it obvious, you ignorant nobody?
00:08:36Nolan's been cheating on you.
00:08:39With me.
00:08:41With me.
00:08:47Is it true, Nolan?
00:08:49Yeah, I can explain.
00:08:50No, is it true?
00:08:52You've been sleeping with Olivia?
00:08:55You saw how she treated me.
00:08:57She made my high school life a living hell.
00:08:59You hate her just as much as I do.
00:09:02Well, if that's hate sex, then sign me up for a lifetime of it.
00:09:08Nolan's a sexy beast, aren't you, darling?
00:09:11Oh, but you wouldn't know about that, Everly.
00:09:14Being the pity fuck that you are.
00:09:17You set this whole thing up, didn't you, Olivia?
00:09:20Did you think you could date both of us?
00:09:22Marry both of us?
00:09:24No.
00:09:26Nolan, you have to choose.
00:09:28You can be with me and live the good life.
00:09:31Or you could be with this dirty orphan.
00:09:36Who will always be poor.
00:09:38Pathetic white trash.
00:09:40Her entire life.
00:09:42And who will drag you down with her.
00:09:48I'm sorry.
00:09:50I'm sorry, Everly.
00:09:51I just, I can't be poor.
00:09:53I can't.
00:09:55I'm so sorry.
00:09:57This isn't happening.
00:10:07I'm in some kind of post-high school nightmare where the mean girl still wins.
00:10:15I don't like her.
00:10:16She's mean.
00:10:17Hello, where did you come from?
00:10:20Is she an evil witch?
00:10:22You little shit.
00:10:23Who the hell let this wretched brat in here?
00:10:25Watch your mouth, Olivia.
00:10:27You can't talk to her like that.
00:10:30I can say whatever the hell I want.
00:10:33And both of you, get out.
00:10:35And take this disgusting cake with you.
00:10:38It's garbage.
00:10:39Just like you.
00:10:44What are you, crazy?
00:10:45You could have hurt her.
00:10:46Too bad I missed.
00:10:50Oh my goodness.
00:10:52Get off me.
00:10:56Choke on it, bitch.
00:11:02I'm gonna destroy you.
00:11:04Good luck with that.
00:11:06You already tried in high school, but I'm stronger now.
00:11:09Keep going with my blessing.
00:11:11Nolan, do something.
00:11:15Everly?
00:11:16Take it off her.
00:11:23Touch my kid and you're dead.
00:11:24Who the hell are you?
00:11:26I'm with her.
00:11:27Since when?
00:11:28That's none of your business.
00:11:32Oh, hold still.
00:11:34There's some frost in there.
00:11:37Please, just stop.
00:11:38Don't.
00:11:40It's Julian Barlow.
00:11:41Heir of Barlow Hotels and Resorts.
00:11:44He owns this very hotel.
00:11:46You're lucky I don't sue you both for attempting to assault a minor.
00:11:49I didn't know it was your kid.
00:11:51So she's a poor girl?
00:11:52Hurting her is okay?
00:11:53This party's over.
00:11:54You two are banned for life from every Barlow property in the world.
00:12:00So this is what having someone stand up for you feels like?
00:12:07They were bad, daddy.
00:12:09There's a lot of bad people out there.
00:12:11That's why you can't run off the way you did.
00:12:13But I thought I really wanted to be with her.
00:12:17You need some rest.
00:12:19Go to the car.
00:12:21I love you, Andrew.
00:12:28Thank you for protecting my daughter.
00:12:30Thank you for saving me from my cheating ex-fiancé.
00:12:38That sounds like a desperate man trying to win you back.
00:12:41Yeah.
00:12:43Not happening.
00:12:50It seems we have a problem, Miss Harper.
00:12:53My daughter's heart is set on you being her mother.
00:12:59You also have a problem with your ex not getting the message.
00:13:03I propose a pretend relationship.
00:13:06Like a fake marriage?
00:13:07Exactly.
00:13:08I can protect you from your ex-fiancé,
00:13:10and you can help me protect Bella from herself and my ex,
00:13:13if she comes back into town.
00:13:15Is your ex really that bad?
00:13:18Kendra makes your high school nemesis look like a teddy bear.
00:13:22Do we have a deal?
00:13:23What if you want to be with someone for real?
00:13:26I won't.
00:13:28I've sworn I'm not going to get married again.
00:13:38Yes, Mr. Barlow.
00:13:40You have a deal.
00:13:48Tomorrow night is the annual charity gala.
00:13:51Black Tie.
00:13:52There, we'll introduce you to society.
00:13:55Why don't we start out slow?
00:13:59My mother will know if we don't show up as newlyweds.
00:14:01Didn't you say she lives in Paris?
00:14:03She has spies everywhere.
00:14:06Did you go to the gala with me?
00:14:09I don't, Julian.
00:14:11I'm more flower than flair.
00:14:13We have a boutique at the hotel.
00:14:16I think the right dress will ease some of your stress.
00:14:20I'm still super uncomfortable with all this.
00:14:24I don't want to embarrass you at the gala.
00:14:26Are you always going to be this touchy about my money?
00:14:30Most women can't wait to spend it.
00:14:32I'm a baker, not a socialite.
00:14:35You've been hanging out with the wrong people.
00:14:38I'm not a socialite.
00:14:41You've been hanging out with the wrong crowd.
00:14:46Maybe I have.
00:14:49Do you mind?
00:14:50My mother will want a picture of the newlyweds.
00:15:01One other thing.
00:15:04Don't fall for me.
00:15:07Same goes for you.
00:15:10I'm not a socialite.
00:15:22Well, hello, Mother.
00:15:24You're married?
00:15:25Who is this girl?
00:15:27Her name is Everly Harper.
00:15:29She's a sous-chef, cordon bleu trained.
00:15:32But she calls herself a baker.
00:15:34Ridiculous.
00:15:37Well, her parents died when she was six.
00:15:39And since then, she's had no relatives.
00:15:42She became a ward of the state
00:15:44and bounced around foster care,
00:15:47never really having a permanent home.
00:15:49So she's an orphan without social connections.
00:15:52What are her financials?
00:15:54Well, she has some student loan debt
00:15:56and her business is barely making it.
00:15:59Despite that, she's won numerous awards
00:16:01and competitions for her.
00:16:04Oh, my God, she's dirt poor.
00:16:07You've married a gold digger, Julian.
00:16:09Well, to be honest, my wealth is
00:16:11probably a bad thing in this case.
00:16:13She'd rather me be middle class.
00:16:15Well, then she's a fool.
00:16:17Who wouldn't want a billionaire husband?
00:16:19Well, Bella chose her to be her mother.
00:16:25Well, I'm just upset that my only son
00:16:27didn't inform me he was married.
00:16:28We'll be in touch.
00:16:31Well, that went exactly as expected.
00:16:34Yay! I'm really going to be my new mommy!
00:16:37I should start calling you my little spy.
00:16:39When does she move in?
00:16:41Um, I'm not sure.
00:16:43We haven't had that discussion.
00:16:45And she's going to bake me more
00:16:47magical cookies filled with love.
00:16:49Has she done that before?
00:16:51Well, yes.
00:16:53Soon she'll be here and she'll bake you
00:16:55many things full of love.
00:16:58Wait, you faked Mary and Julie and Barlow?
00:17:01I know, it's insane.
00:17:03Oh my god, you do know that your hubby
00:17:05is worth like a hundred billion dollars, right?
00:17:07Very funny.
00:17:09He didn't.
00:17:11I'm not joking.
00:17:13Whoa, I've never seen that many zeros in one spot.
00:17:16Oh my god, Bella!
00:17:18Oh my god.
00:17:20Oh my god.
00:17:22Oh my god.
00:17:24Oh my god.
00:17:26Oh my god, Bestie!
00:17:28You're literally married to one of the
00:17:30richest dudes on the planet.
00:17:32Olivia and her totes are totally going to flip out.
00:17:34We have to go to the high school reunion next weekend.
00:17:36I thought you said we were skipping that.
00:17:38Uh-uh, not anymore. We are going.
00:17:40Oh, come on.
00:17:42Please, please, please.
00:17:44Think about it.
00:17:46Why would someone like him even want
00:17:48a pretend marriage?
00:17:50I mean, he's charming,
00:17:52handsome,
00:17:54and a good dad.
00:17:56He could easily find a real wife.
00:17:58Maybe he's just avoiding commitment.
00:18:00You know, classic Playboy move.
00:18:02He doesn't strike me as that type.
00:18:04Look at you, playing the little protective wife already.
00:18:06Shut up.
00:18:08So, when does Miss Barlow
00:18:10make her big debut?
00:18:12Tonight, actually.
00:18:14Care to help me find a dress
00:18:16for some exclusive gala?
00:18:18Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
00:18:20This is the most exclusive credit card of all credit cards.
00:18:22You can buy an island with this thing.
00:18:24I'm gonna be sick.
00:18:26I have to find a way to give it back to him.
00:18:28Everly Harper, you will do no such thing.
00:18:30Can you please just be a little selfish
00:18:32for the both of us and live a little?
00:18:36You're right.
00:18:38Let's do this.
00:18:40Yay!
00:18:52Okay, I can't do this.
00:18:54$40,000 for a dress is insane.
00:18:56You could pay an entire village for that price.
00:18:58Yeah, crazy world we live in.
00:19:00Hello, ladies.
00:19:02My name is Pilar.
00:19:04Should we try something on?
00:19:06It appears to be your size,
00:19:08but I do have a seamstress on standby.
00:19:10Can I maybe rent it instead?
00:19:12Rent?
00:19:14That'll be $1,000 a day,
00:19:16plus a $4,000 security deposit.
00:19:18Can you afford that?
00:19:20Oh, my goodness.
00:19:22What manual labor job do you do?
00:19:24I'm a baker.
00:19:26Absolutely no rental for you.
00:19:28Those rough worker hands
00:19:30will snag the delicate fabric.
00:19:32There's a thrift store down the way
00:19:34that might be more at your speed.
00:19:36You don't understand.
00:19:38I'm attending the annual Celestial Charity Gala tonight.
00:19:40It's strictly black tie.
00:19:42What are you doing at Celestial,
00:19:44the most exclusive event in town?
00:19:46I know.
00:19:48Just buy it, then.
00:19:54This is a black card.
00:19:56Obviously.
00:19:58Held up at boutique.
00:20:00Not going too well.
00:20:04Well, well, well.
00:20:06This card belongs to Mr. Barlow.
00:20:08How did it end up in your hands?
00:20:10Mr. Barlow happens to be
00:20:12my best friend's husband.
00:20:14As if.
00:20:16You must have stolen it.
00:20:18Security, arrest these scammers
00:20:20for identity theft and fraud.
00:20:22Get your hands off of her, you animal.
00:20:30We're not thieves.
00:20:32You're making a mistake.
00:20:34The card was given to me.
00:20:36We're innocent.
00:20:40Get this trash out of my face.
00:20:42Let them go.
00:20:50Mr. Barlow, you're right on time.
00:20:52Okay, I just caught these scammers
00:20:54trying to charge $5,000 to your card.
00:20:56$5,000?
00:20:58When have you ever sold a dress under 30 grand?
00:21:00That was me.
00:21:02Just trying to rent it and said,
00:21:04no dress is worth that much.
00:21:06Are you kidding me?
00:21:08Don't fall for this innocent act.
00:21:10Do you see anything you like?
00:21:12This one.
00:21:14But we were told to shop at the thrift shop.
00:21:16I'm Samantha, by the way.
00:21:18I've heard so much about you.
00:21:20Pleasure to meet you, Samantha.
00:21:22My wife was looking to outfit herself
00:21:24for tonight's gala entirely
00:21:26through your boutique.
00:21:28Unfortunately, you cut up our card.
00:21:32So she...
00:21:34She really is your...
00:21:36wife?
00:21:38At Barlow, we believe in treating
00:21:40everyone with respect and dignity.
00:21:42Isn't your lease up
00:21:44in 30 days?
00:21:46Mr. Barlow, I am so,
00:21:48so sorry. Okay, Mrs. Barlow, please,
00:21:50here. Take the dress.
00:21:52It's on the house.
00:21:54It's not necessary. Just bill my account.
00:21:58And Barlow won't renew your lease.
00:22:00Not here, not anywhere.
00:22:02You're done, Velar.
00:22:04I'll make sure you never work
00:22:06in retail again.
00:22:30I realize right now this is the first time
00:22:32I'm seeing the real Evelyn.
00:22:34You've been hiding in plain sight.
00:22:36You're all right. Look over here.
00:22:38Surplus loan for the night? What's her name, man?
00:22:42I got you.
00:22:56I feel like I don't fit in here.
00:22:58You don't fit in, Evelyn.
00:23:00You stand out.
00:23:02Don't be so obvious, Everly.
00:23:04You can't let yourself fall for him.
00:23:06It's true, everyone here is rich.
00:23:08But they're all human. Flaws and all.
00:23:12That's Chase and Daisy Harrington.
00:23:14They're in banking.
00:23:16I don't think you mean they work at the Teller Window.
00:23:18Chase can often be found at the dog track.
00:23:20And Daisy's a lush.
00:23:22She's probably spiked her wine with vodka already.
00:23:24Julian, that's awful.
00:23:26And that's Lily Blake Dubois.
00:23:28And her second husband.
00:23:30He's 25 years her junior.
00:23:32Men date women who are younger than them all the time.
00:23:34She was the PTA president.
00:23:36And he was in ninth grade.
00:23:38With her son when they met.
00:23:40When they started their affair.
00:23:42Oh, my God. I get it.
00:23:44I am no longer intimidated by anyone in here.
00:23:46Mission accomplished.
00:23:50Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:23:54Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:23:56Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:23:58I'm too old for surprises, mother.
00:24:00You flew from Paris for nothing.
00:24:02Nothing?
00:24:04You're making a fool of yourself
00:24:06with this gold digger.
00:24:08Miss Barlow, let's get two things straight.
00:24:10One, my name is Everly Harper.
00:24:12And two,
00:24:14I am not a gold digger.
00:24:16I've earned my keep since I was six years old
00:24:18and I started my business from scratch.
00:24:20I don't need your money.
00:24:22But I would like your respect.
00:24:24So,
00:24:26I won't let anyone talk down to me
00:24:28even if you are Julian's mother.
00:24:30Impudent girl.
00:24:32Meddling mother.
00:24:34Aren't you going to say anything?
00:24:36Meddling mother.
00:24:38I couldn't have put it better myself.
00:24:42I don't know what you did
00:24:44to trick my son into marriage.
00:24:46But I have my eye on you, Everly Harper.
00:24:48One false move
00:24:50and you are through.
00:24:52Gina,
00:24:54enjoy your evening alone, mother.
00:25:06Everly, I want to apologize.
00:25:10My mother was out of line.
00:25:12She didn't expect it either.
00:25:14She's so determined, she won't back down.
00:25:16We need to make sure she doesn't start digging
00:25:18into the details of our marriage.
00:25:20But what's our next steps?
00:25:22I want you to move in with me.
00:25:26It was going to happen
00:25:28sooner or later.
00:25:30Mother just expedited it.
00:25:32That goes to the kitchen.
00:25:34Living room.
00:25:36Living room.
00:25:38It's just all moving a little too fast.
00:25:40I mean, one minute Julian's asking me
00:25:42to move in with him and the next,
00:25:44movers are packing my stuff.
00:25:46But you gotta love a man that takes action, you know?
00:25:48I mean, here I was feeling bad about leaving you
00:25:50to find a new roommate.
00:25:52I don't know, I think I'm going to try living alone for a while.
00:25:54Samantha, how can you afford that?
00:25:56The new landlord lowered everyone's rent.
00:25:58Since when?
00:26:00Since you became his fake bride.
00:26:02He knew that you felt bad for me
00:26:04and so he bought the entire apartment complex
00:26:06and lowered everyone's rent.
00:26:08That's...
00:26:10That's insane.
00:26:12Everly,
00:26:14billionaires don't think like normal people, sweetie.
00:26:16Enough now. You need to get used to it, okay?
00:26:24Are we going to have gazpacho for dinner?
00:26:26If it pleases Miss Bella to have gazpacho.
00:26:28Hello!
00:26:30Okay, what can I get you today?
00:26:34You're welcome.
00:26:42Shouldn't take me longer than two days
00:26:44Are you sure you can watch Bella?
00:26:46I haven't hired an Annie yet
00:26:48and she tires Miss Delaney out.
00:26:50Don't worry about us.
00:26:52You focus on work. Bella and I will be just fine.
00:26:54I'll take her to the bakery with me.
00:26:56She'll have a blast.
00:26:58Here's a detailed list of her routines,
00:27:00do's and don'ts, allergies,
00:27:02emergency contact information,
00:27:04all the information you'll ever need.
00:27:06Love soccer, allergic to strawberries,
00:27:08doctor's number.
00:27:10I'm impressed.
00:27:12A CEO like you would be this hands-on with this kid.
00:27:14Well, you thought wrong.
00:27:16Bella means the world to me.
00:27:28Daddy,
00:27:30why are you staring at Emily like that?
00:27:32You like her.
00:27:34Sorry, she doesn't know
00:27:36what she's talking about.
00:27:38Sometimes kids have a way of knowing the truth.
00:27:40You also have a way of being annoying.
00:27:42Well, anyways, me and Bun Bun
00:27:44wanted to play airplane.
00:27:46Alright, Munchkin, you have one minute.
00:27:48Yippee!
00:27:50Ready?
00:27:52Yeah!
00:27:58So this is what a happy family looks like.
00:28:00Looks so nice.
00:28:02I wonder if we could be a real family someday.
00:28:04Just the three of us.
00:28:10Okay, Chef,
00:28:12what's on the menu today?
00:28:14Chocolate cupcakes,
00:28:16and chocolate donuts,
00:28:18and chocolate cake,
00:28:20and chocolate chip cookies.
00:28:22I'm sensing a chocolate theme.
00:28:24Okay, it's time to get to work, Chef.
00:28:26Whoopee, Chef!
00:28:32What do you think, Chef?
00:28:36I can taste the love.
00:28:38The what?
00:28:40The magic ingredient. I can taste it.
00:28:42That's good.
00:28:46Emily,
00:28:48do you like my dad?
00:28:50Of course I like him.
00:28:52He's a great guy and a good dad.
00:28:54So you could become my mommy for real?
00:28:56Bella,
00:28:58I don't know what the future holds,
00:29:00but I know
00:29:02you have a very special place in my heart, okay?
00:29:04Okay.
00:29:08Whoa.
00:29:10That was fast.
00:29:12Okay.
00:29:14Time for a rest.
00:29:18Daddy!
00:29:26Oh, my God.
00:29:28I'm falling for him.
00:29:32Daddy!
00:29:34Did you miss me, Munchkin?
00:29:36So much, but Everly's the best.
00:29:38I got to be a chef.
00:29:40And we had a movie marathon.
00:29:42And I got to sleep in sheep tents
00:29:44in the living room.
00:29:46And we ate in the kitchen with Mrs. Delaney,
00:29:48who was all frowny, but then she was all smiley.
00:29:50I like the kitchen better than the dining room.
00:29:52Can we eat there from now on?
00:29:54I see you've made some changes.
00:29:56Very minor ones.
00:29:58Oops. Did I say something bad?
00:30:00No, Munchkin.
00:30:02Daddy's just learning his little set in his ways.
00:30:04You can do everything, Dad,
00:30:06but you're a bad cook.
00:30:08And Everly's way better at girl stuff.
00:30:10You're like the prince, and Everly's the princess.
00:30:12And we can all live happily ever after.
00:30:14With Bun Bun, of course.
00:30:20Kids and their fairy tales.
00:30:22She'll understand that we can't be more
00:30:24than a pretend couple when she's older.
00:30:26Of course.
00:30:28She's still too little.
00:30:30We can't be more than a pretend couple.
00:30:32It felt so real.
00:30:34I let myself forget it was a fake marriage.
00:30:36It can never be anything more.
00:30:46My God. You have to go.
00:30:48Oh, come on. Olivia and Nolan are gonna
00:30:50gossip about us if you do not show your face tomorrow.
00:30:52They are going to do that regardless.
00:30:54I'm sorry, Sammy. I thought about it, and I don't
00:30:56want to go to our high school reunion.
00:30:58Okay, hear me out. Just picture this.
00:31:00Your new, hot, billionaire husband
00:31:02is the perfect revenge for the mean girls
00:31:04that used to call us poor losers.
00:31:06No, I would never use Julian in that way.
00:31:08Well, if the thing is, I already told them
00:31:10that you would be there with him.
00:31:12Okay, don't get upset.
00:31:14It's just that Olivia posted that we were lying skinks.
00:31:16And then it kind of just blew up from there.
00:31:18And then all of this... And Romante, you make everything
00:31:20ten times worse. Don't worry, I'll go with you.
00:31:22I can't let my wife be humiliated.
00:31:24I came by to take you to dinner
00:31:26as a thank you
00:31:28for helping me with Bella.
00:31:30Did he really mean that? His wife?
00:31:32You should take the day off tomorrow
00:31:34and go pamper yourself.
00:31:36I'll make the arrangements with the hotel spa.
00:31:38On one condition.
00:31:40Can you make the reservation for two?
00:31:42I can do that.
00:31:50I want to get my nails done, too.
00:31:52What color do you want to get, Bella?
00:31:54The exact same as you.
00:31:56I also want to get some for Bun Bun.
00:31:58He looks sly with those.
00:32:00You're so adorable.
00:32:02How could any mother abandon you?
00:32:04I wish you were really mine.
00:32:12Oh, my.
00:32:14Mr. Barlow said that you might need some help
00:32:16getting into it.
00:32:18I can't wear that, Miss Delaney.
00:32:20It's too beautiful and definitely way too expensive.
00:32:22Nonsense, dear.
00:32:24Mr. Barlow said to tell you
00:32:26you're the only one that can do it justice.
00:32:32Now let's see it on you.
00:32:40I want to thank you
00:32:42for the dress.
00:32:44I'll find a way to pay you back.
00:32:46Seeing you in it is payment enough.
00:32:48You are drop dead gorgeous, Everly.
00:32:50It's not me.
00:32:52It's the dress.
00:32:54Why do you do that?
00:32:56Why do you downplay your beauty?
00:32:58I don't like to draw attention to myself.
00:33:00You shouldn't have to dim your light
00:33:02to make others feel good about themselves.
00:33:18Mr. Barlow, sir, there is a visitor
00:33:20here demanding to speak with you.
00:33:22I'm not expecting anyone.
00:33:24It's your ex-wife.
00:33:30It's your ex-wife.
00:33:38I put Miss Ross in, I guess.
00:33:40Where's Bella?
00:33:42She's with Miss Delaney in the playroom.
00:33:44Good. We need to keep Bella away from Kendra.
00:33:46I have to deal with her.
00:33:48I'll join you at the reunion when I'm done.
00:33:50I can just not go.
00:33:52No, Kendra is not going to disrupt our plans.
00:33:54My driver will take you there. I promise.
00:34:00It's been so long, Julian.
00:34:02Not long enough. What do you want?
00:34:04I want my daughter.
00:34:06I want Bella.
00:34:14I heard Everly is coming to the reunion.
00:34:16I thought that
00:34:18she would never show her face here
00:34:20ever again.
00:34:22Everly? The foster kid weirdo?
00:34:24Yeah, well, she destroyed my engagement party,
00:34:26so I'm going to destroy her tonight.
00:34:28Didn't Samantha say she's married
00:34:30to Julian Barlow?
00:34:32What if he's going to come with her?
00:34:34He might fuck her, but a Barlow
00:34:36is not going to marry trash like her.
00:34:46She should be mine.
00:34:58Eyes on me, Nolan.
00:35:00They really did recreate senior prom.
00:35:02Yep, all the ways, the tacky
00:35:04decorations, and the cheesy DJ.
00:35:06Last time I was here, I was with Nolan.
00:35:08My foster mom at the time
00:35:10helped make my dress, and it looked it.
00:35:12We didn't even get our first dance.
00:35:14We didn't even get our first dance
00:35:16before Olivia told everyone I had an STD.
00:35:18That's right, and then
00:35:20Nolan couldn't take it, and he bailed.
00:35:22We should have known then that he was a dick.
00:35:24Yeah, I forgave him. No one could stand up for Olivia.
00:35:26Myself included at that time.
00:35:28Let's play this bitch.
00:35:30I mean the dance, of course.
00:35:32That dress
00:35:34looks like it cost a fortune.
00:35:36What do you think, Olivia?
00:35:38You're a fashion expert.
00:35:40It can't be the nightingale
00:35:42of Hanoi.
00:35:44That dress is worth millions.
00:35:46It's just a cheap knockoff.
00:35:48Come on, girls.
00:35:50Let's give Everly a high school reunion
00:35:52she'll never forget.
00:35:54Let's give Everly a high school
00:35:56reunion she'll never forget.
00:35:58Hey.
00:36:00Where's your husband?
00:36:02Julian's on his way. Shut up, loser.
00:36:04No one's talking to you. Bitch.
00:36:06Give it up, Everly. We all know he got bored
00:36:08and dumped you.
00:36:12It's like, okay.
00:36:14Did you just fucking shrug at me?
00:36:18Apparently you've forgotten your place.
00:36:20Must be that dress giving you attitude
00:36:22but it's a cheap knockoff just like you.
00:36:24I don't think it's a knockoff.
00:36:26It's a gift
00:36:28from my husband.
00:36:30Give it up, bitch.
00:36:32We all know you're lying your husband, your dress.
00:36:34I call bullshit.
00:36:36Grow up, Olivia.
00:36:38You're too old to still be a mean girl.
00:36:40Ugh!
00:36:46Ugh!
00:36:48Hey, no, no, no.
00:36:50Let go of me, Nolan.
00:36:52Get your hands off of her.
00:36:54Just because you're fucking a Barlow
00:36:56doesn't make you royalty.
00:36:58Take that fake dress off
00:37:00or I'll take it off for you.
00:37:02What makes you think it's fake?
00:37:04You clueless bitch.
00:37:06I'm a fashion influencer
00:37:08with 1.8 million followers.
00:37:10You expect me to believe
00:37:12that white trash like you
00:37:14are wearing the nightingale
00:37:16of Hanoi gown
00:37:18valued at 10 million dollars.
00:37:22That's why Julian grinned
00:37:24when I said I'd pay him back for the dress.
00:37:26Take it off.
00:37:32Hey, no.
00:37:34Get off of her.
00:37:38Let go of her.
00:37:40No.
00:37:42No.
00:37:44No.
00:37:46Stop.
00:37:48Get away from my wife.
00:37:54Get away from my wife.
00:37:56No.
00:38:08I'm sorry I'm late.
00:38:10The dress is ruined.
00:38:12Please tell me it wasn't worth millions of dollars.
00:38:14I can't tell you that.
00:38:16Apologize to my wife now.
00:38:18We were just joking.
00:38:20You know, fooling around.
00:38:22My wife was on the ground soaking wet,
00:38:24dress torn.
00:38:26What you did was battery and harassment.
00:38:28My lawyer's not gonna think that's funny.
00:38:30I sure as hell don't.
00:38:32Lawyers?
00:38:34Who the hell are you?
00:38:36That's Julian Barlow.
00:38:38He's one of the richest men in the world.
00:38:40Do you know how much this dress is worth?
00:38:42Every bead is a genuine, flawless diamond.
00:38:44Miss St. James, you just ruined
00:38:46a 10 million dollar gown.
00:38:48Oh, shit.
00:38:50No.
00:38:52That, no, that can't be.
00:38:54You better start liquidating all your assets,
00:38:56including your parents' house,
00:38:58because the insurance company is coming for your ass.
00:39:00Then the police.
00:39:02Good luck finding a job in fashion
00:39:04after ruining one of the most famous dresses in the world.
00:39:06That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:39:12That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:39:14You did this.
00:39:16You set me up.
00:39:18You did it to yourself.
00:39:20I left the woman I love
00:39:22because you said we'd be rich,
00:39:24and now you have nothing.
00:39:26You piece of shit.
00:39:28Nope.
00:39:30Don't do this.
00:39:32Please don't do this.
00:39:34I'm not the one you need to beg for forgiveness.
00:39:42I'm sorry, Everly.
00:39:44I never should have tormented you
00:39:46all of those years.
00:39:48You didn't deserve it.
00:39:50Then why did you do it?
00:39:52Why me?
00:39:56Why me?
00:39:58Because even with your shitty clothes,
00:40:00your terrible hair,
00:40:02you were still beautiful.
00:40:04Everyone could see it.
00:40:06I would kill to look like you,
00:40:08and you treated it like it was nothing.
00:40:10So you hated me
00:40:12because I was pretty
00:40:14and didn't shove it in people's faces?
00:40:16You made me so messed up.
00:40:18Well, I was right to hate you.
00:40:20Look at you.
00:40:22You bagged a billionaire
00:40:24without even trying.
00:40:26Everly is beautiful inside and out.
00:40:28That's what draws people to her.
00:40:30You're done here.
00:40:32I'm not going to push any criminal charges,
00:40:34but the insurance company will be reaching out.
00:40:36You're on the hook for that dress.
00:40:38Oh, my God.
00:40:40I never thought that I'd see this in a lifetime.
00:40:42Please pinch me and tell me that I'm not dreaming.
00:40:44You want to get out of here?
00:40:46Yes, please.
00:41:02Bitches.
00:41:04Who knew that high school reunions would be this fun?
00:41:10Thank you
00:41:12for what you did.
00:41:14Never has anyone come to my rescue before.
00:41:16I enjoy doing it.
00:41:18You matter to me, Everly.
00:41:22Me and Bella.
00:41:24Hey.
00:41:26I understand.
00:41:28Thank you again.
00:41:30Have a good night, Julian.
00:41:32Everly, wait.
00:41:34That came out wrong.
00:41:36What I meant was
00:41:38I have feelings for you,
00:41:40as much as you want.
00:41:42Kendra's betrayal of our marriage,
00:41:44it broke something inside of me,
00:41:46and I don't think I can commit to
00:41:48another woman.
00:41:50I just want to be with you.
00:41:52I'm not asking for anything else.
00:41:54You're so amazing, Julian,
00:41:56and I like everything about you.
00:41:58You just...
00:42:10Sir, is that you?
00:42:12I heard a noise.
00:42:16Yes, Mr. Gibson.
00:42:18You can go to bed.
00:42:20Yes, sir. Good night, sir.
00:42:22Ma'am.
00:42:24Fuck, that was embarrassing.
00:42:26I haven't got caught like that since
00:42:28I was a little school boy.
00:42:30Do you think he saw us?
00:42:32He probably did, but he's not going to say anything.
00:42:34I want nothing more than to take you
00:42:36upstairs right now.
00:42:38Me too.
00:42:40You're so honest, Everly.
00:42:42It's one of the many things I admire about you.
00:42:44And although it's going to kill me,
00:42:46I want you to go to bed.
00:42:48You're too noble.
00:42:52No one's ever said that to me before.
00:42:56Good night, sweetheart.
00:42:58Good night.
00:43:00Good night.
00:43:02Yes, we are.
00:43:06Now go.
00:43:08Before I change my mind.
00:43:12Did that just happen?
00:43:14Am I actually dating Julian Barlow?
00:43:22This is nice.
00:43:24Just holding your hand.
00:43:28What are we going to tell Bella?
00:43:30But we are dating now.
00:43:32Change of steps.
00:43:34We have to put her first.
00:43:36Have you always thought of others
00:43:38at the expense of yourself?
00:43:40That's why I was bullied so much growing up.
00:43:42And why people take advantage of me.
00:43:44Don't say that.
00:43:46You're the best person I know, Everly.
00:43:48And now you have me.
00:43:50And I promise I won't let anyone hurt you anymore.
00:44:00So you think you can replace me with this whore, Julian?
00:44:02Let's see how that works out
00:44:04when I get through with the both of you.
00:44:12So, this is your latest sludge.
00:44:14Kendra, are you following me?
00:44:16I'm Bella's mother.
00:44:18I need to know what her father is doing.
00:44:20And who is doing me.
00:44:22So you fuck the help now, Julian?
00:44:24Who I'm with is none of your business.
00:44:26You gave that right up three years ago
00:44:28when you slept with me with my best friend.
00:44:30Then you abandoned your daughter and went to Europe
00:44:32with some tennis pro at a club.
00:44:34That was ages ago.
00:44:36I've changed now.
00:44:38I'm ready to be a wife and mother.
00:44:40And you can't let this homewrecker
00:44:42get in the way of what we can have.
00:44:44Everly is my wife now.
00:44:46And stay away from Bella.
00:44:48You don't have visitation rights.
00:44:50Oh, we'll see about that.
00:44:52I'm Bella's birth mother.
00:44:54That's never going to change.
00:44:56I can't lose my daughter.
00:44:58You won't. We'll fight it together.
00:45:10Hello, sir.
00:45:12What can I get for you today?
00:45:14I need to ask a favor of you.
00:45:16Sorry.
00:45:18No freebies for men with mean ex-wives.
00:45:20No ex-wife.
00:45:22Just one wife right in front of me.
00:45:26I'm still working.
00:45:28I'll have to kick you out
00:45:30if you're not a paying customer.
00:45:32Then I'll pay now.
00:45:38I guess just bought the entire store.
00:45:40I need help
00:45:42from my favorite cake baker.
00:45:44Bella's elementary school is hosting a bake sale
00:45:46and every family brings
00:45:48a homemade dessert and they all compete
00:45:50for first place.
00:45:52Would you want to go with us?
00:45:54You want me to be a part of your family?
00:45:56Part of your neighbors?
00:45:58Of course.
00:46:08No, you have to stir in the same direction
00:46:10clockwise 30 times.
00:46:12Wow.
00:46:14I had no idea you had to be so accurate.
00:46:16You do if you want to be the best.
00:46:20No, not like that. Like this.
00:46:24Okay.
00:46:30You are the worst student.
00:46:32I'm sorry I can't concentrate
00:46:34because my teacher's so hot.
00:46:50Everly and Daddy sitting in a tree.
00:46:52L-I-S-S-I-N-G
00:46:54I'm gonna get you.
00:46:56Come here.
00:47:14Hey, Bella.
00:47:16Remember me?
00:47:18No.
00:47:20I'm your mother.
00:47:22No, you're not.
00:47:24Everly's my mom. I chose her.
00:47:26You little brat. You can't choose your mother.
00:47:28You're born with one and that's what you get.
00:47:30That's enough, Kindra.
00:47:32You're upsetting Bella and causing a scene.
00:47:34Whatever. Move aside.
00:47:36I'm going to win this bake sale
00:47:38and prove who the real mother is.
00:47:40Those are store-bought cookies.
00:47:42What is she thinking?
00:47:44No, she made those.
00:47:46Her family owns Rossi Cookies.
00:47:48They're a franchise.
00:47:50They have stores in every country.
00:47:52You didn't tell me your ex was a world-renowned baker.
00:47:54She doesn't have a tenth of your talent.
00:47:56Her grandma's the baker.
00:47:58She uses the recipes.
00:48:00There's not one creative bone in her body.
00:48:06Oh, my God.
00:48:08That's amazing.
00:48:10I want to buy all of it.
00:48:12Who made this?
00:48:14Julian Barlow?
00:48:16He was such a talented baker.
00:48:20Here. Try mine.
00:48:22Not to brag, but the Rossi name
00:48:24is renowned in the world of desserts.
00:48:28Not bad, but nowhere near the Barlow's.
00:48:30I'm telling you all to taste it.
00:48:32It's simply magic in your mouth.
00:48:34I think we know who the winner is.
00:48:38Yay!
00:48:42You want to see magic?
00:48:44I'm going to make that bitch disappear.
00:48:46Abra-fucking-cadabra.
00:48:56Can't forget that.
00:48:58Top of Bella's grocery list.
00:49:00She would never forgive me.
00:49:02Well, aren't we the perfect little housewife?
00:49:04That is, until Bella is rushed to the hospital.
00:49:06Oops.
00:49:12Early. Hi.
00:49:14So lucky to run into you here.
00:49:16Oh. Oh, so.
00:49:18I owe you an apology
00:49:20for how rude I was to you earlier.
00:49:22In my defense,
00:49:24you'd have to be a mother to understand
00:49:26how it feels to see another woman raising a child.
00:49:28Do you have it in your heart to forgive me?
00:49:30It's Bella and Julian you owe an apology to,
00:49:32not me.
00:49:34Watch your back.
00:49:36There's a long line of women
00:49:38waiting to get their claws into Julian.
00:49:40Beautiful, sexy,
00:49:42sophisticated women
00:49:44who are suited to his lifestyle
00:49:46pleasing his every want and desire.
00:49:50Is there some kind of threat?
00:49:52No.
00:49:54Just a cold, hard fact
00:49:56that you, Everly Harper,
00:49:58will never be more than a glorified babysitter
00:50:00to him.
00:50:02That's funny.
00:50:04Because you'll never be more than a bitter memory to him.
00:50:08Now stop messing with our family.
00:50:12Next time, I won't be so nice.
00:50:16Next time,
00:50:18you'll be the psycho
00:50:20who drugged Julian's daughter.
00:50:26Let me ask you a question.
00:50:28Why did you choose me?
00:50:30Oh,
00:50:32where's this coming from?
00:50:34I mean, once Bella grows up
00:50:36and doesn't need a mom anymore,
00:50:38will you still want to be with me?
00:50:40Everly, sweetheart,
00:50:42this doesn't sound like you.
00:50:44It's just,
00:50:46I'm not like the society women
00:50:48you've dated in the past.
00:50:50What if you get bored with me?
00:50:54Imagine dating someone
00:50:56who barely eats
00:50:58because they're watching their figure
00:51:00and spends more time with their plastic surgeons
00:51:02and with their family.
00:51:04You mean these society women?
00:51:06You're so bad.
00:51:10I'm sorry.
00:51:12I let Kendra get in my head.
00:51:14When did you see Kendra?
00:51:18It's Bella's school.
00:51:20Is this Julian Barlow?
00:51:22Emergency room.
00:51:24Uh-huh.
00:51:26I understand. I'm on my way.
00:51:28What's going on? Is Bella okay?
00:51:30The school nurse said that she was poisoned.
00:51:32Something she ate.
00:51:34Something about a lollipop.
00:51:42Bella is asleep.
00:51:44Fortunately, the lab results just showed
00:51:46that it was a common prescribed sedative
00:51:48that was on the lollipop.
00:51:50How does this happen? I don't understand.
00:51:52I have to ask,
00:51:54have you had any threats recently
00:51:56or encountered any suspicious characters?
00:52:00I came as soon as I heard.
00:52:02How is our precious Bella?
00:52:04She's coming along.
00:52:06Poison?
00:52:08What kind of monster would poison
00:52:10an innocent child?
00:52:12With a lollipop, no less.
00:52:14I'm sorry.
00:52:16Doctor, did you say lollipop?
00:52:18Doctor poisoned Julian and my daughter
00:52:20with a lollipop.
00:52:22Well,
00:52:24that's interesting
00:52:26because I ran into Everly at the bakery yesterday
00:52:28and I saw one of Bella's
00:52:30favorite rainbow-colored lollipops.
00:52:32Are you suggesting that
00:52:34I had something to do with this?
00:52:36You gave Bella that lollipop,
00:52:38did you not?
00:52:44I did.
00:52:46But...
00:52:48I can't believe this. Our precious Bella,
00:52:50our little angel,
00:52:52drugged by yet another babysitter.
00:52:54I did no such thing. I would never...
00:52:56Wait, hold on. Bella's been poisoned before?
00:52:58Is this true, Julian?
00:53:00When she was 18 months old, I had a babysitter
00:53:02and I haven't been able to trust anyone
00:53:04since then, just you.
00:53:06But now I...
00:53:08Now what?
00:53:10I'll tell you what.
00:53:12You're not coming near Bella ever again.
00:53:15No, no, this can't be real.
00:53:17You know I would never hurt Bella.
00:53:19You know I love her like she's my own daughter.
00:53:21Oh, but she's not.
00:53:23She's ours.
00:53:25Julian,
00:53:27will you be calling security or shall I?
00:53:31Julian, will you be calling security
00:53:33or shall I?
00:53:38Everly, I'm sorry.
00:53:40I'm sorry for ever doubting you, even for a second.
00:53:42I know that you could never harm Bella.
00:53:44Not because you're my wife,
00:53:46but because of your loving heart.
00:53:48Julian, what are you saying? She's dangerous!
00:53:50Stop, Kendra, just stop!
00:53:52But...
00:53:54Look at the evidence.
00:53:56Everly bought the rainbow-colored lollipop
00:53:58for Bella. Who else could have tampered with it?
00:54:00Wait.
00:54:02How did you know it was a rainbow lollipop?
00:54:06No one mentioned what color it was.
00:54:08It's...
00:54:10You switched them
00:54:12at the bakery parking lot. That's why you were there.
00:54:16You drugged your own daughter just to frame me?
00:54:18What kind of sicko does that?
00:54:20You can't prove that.
00:54:22But your prescription medicine can.
00:54:24Julian, stop! That's not mine!
00:54:26She's been taking status since I met her.
00:54:28That's exactly what was found
00:54:30in Bella's system.
00:54:32It's...
00:54:34You psychotic bitch! First you tried to kill my daughter,
00:54:36now you're trying to frame my wife?
00:54:38It could have been. It could be found from anywhere.
00:54:40It could have been anyone.
00:54:42It could have been you.
00:54:44It was you, wasn't it?
00:54:46I'm telling you, it wasn't mine!
00:54:50Bella's waking up.
00:54:56Thank God she's okay.
00:54:58The thought of losing her
00:55:00was too much to bear.
00:55:02We don't have to think about that.
00:55:04She has you.
00:55:06I have you.
00:55:08And we all have each other.
00:55:10Whatever comes our way.
00:55:12That's what family's for.
00:55:14That's what it means to love.
00:55:16And be loved.
00:55:18Exactly.
00:55:22Stop it. We're in the children's ward.
00:55:24I'm pretty sure all these
00:55:26doctors and nurses know how babies are born.
00:55:28They're made.
00:55:32Mommy?
00:55:34Daddy?
00:55:36Brain check?
00:55:38Oh, you can count on it.
00:55:40Is that my little munchkin in there making noise?
00:55:46Welcome in.
00:55:48What gang is that?
00:55:50No.
00:55:52What, is there a rule against selling a cake to your ex?
00:55:54Come on, Emily.
00:55:56Look, Everly, I'm sorry.
00:55:58I made a big mistake. I'll admit that.
00:56:00But I've changed.
00:56:02And I just want to start fresh.
00:56:04I want to do this again.
00:56:06Are you serious?
00:56:08Yes, it was all Olivia's doing.
00:56:10You know how manipulative she can be.
00:56:12And I only loved you the entire time.
00:56:14You think Julian's a multi-billionaire?
00:56:16You think he'd really go for someone like you?
00:56:18I mean, get real, Everly.
00:56:20If he doesn't love you,
00:56:22what I do is try to die without you.
00:56:28Get the hell out of my bakery.
00:56:30You fucking bitch.
00:56:32No one's gonna come to save you.
00:56:36Stay away from my wife.
00:56:38Last warning.
00:56:40Stay away from her or I'll break more than just your arm.
00:56:42Motherfucker.
00:56:44If I can't have her,
00:56:46no one can.
00:56:52Thank you for stepping in, Julian.
00:56:54I wish I could be here all the time,
00:56:56but I can't.
00:56:58Nolan.
00:57:00It's gonna be a problem.
00:57:02I can't exactly lock my doors.
00:57:04Don't work by yourself anymore.
00:57:06Make sure Samantha's with you.
00:57:12Something for the munchkins.
00:57:14Thanks.
00:57:18I have to pick her up right now.
00:57:20We'll see you later?
00:57:22Stay alert.
00:57:28Okay.
00:57:38And the hits keep coming.
00:57:40First my ex,
00:57:42now his.
00:57:44Will we ever catch a break?
00:57:54We have to keep that from Bella.
00:57:56I'll get my lawyer
00:57:58to file a restraining order against Kendra this week.
00:58:00Maybe there's a way
00:58:02we can make peace with Bella's mom.
00:58:04We've tried.
00:58:06She's turned every attempt against us,
00:58:08including Bella.
00:58:10I can't risk
00:58:12losing my daughter.
00:58:14How can I help
00:58:16protect Bella?
00:58:18No, Everly, it's not your fight.
00:58:20Yes, it is. Contract or not, you and I are in this together.
00:58:22I can't stand by while you and Bella suffer.
00:58:26I know.
00:58:46What if Bella wakes up?
00:58:48She hung her head years ago.
00:58:50I just kept it.
00:58:52I know.
00:58:56I know.
00:59:26What are your thoughts
00:59:28on a family date?
00:59:30The three of us.
00:59:32You want to go on a picnic?
00:59:34I'll go wherever
00:59:36you'll take me.
00:59:40So where did you get Bungman?
00:59:42When I was three years old.
00:59:44Yep, we were outside
00:59:46and she saw a rabbit,
00:59:48and she was like,
00:59:50what's a rabbit?
00:59:52And I was like,
00:59:54yep, we were outside
00:59:56and she saw a rabbit run across the yard
00:59:58and she looked at me and reached her hands out
01:00:00and I said, no, you can't have a wild animal.
01:00:02So she started crying.
01:00:04So naturally, I got her Bungman the next day.
01:00:06Naturally.
01:00:14Hello, my baby.
01:00:16Come to mom.
01:00:18What are you doing here? You look like a stalker.
01:00:20I'm still your mother.
01:00:22And I brought your favorite food.
01:00:24Strawberries.
01:00:26Everly loves me more than you.
01:00:28And I love her too.
01:00:30And I can't eat strawberries.
01:00:32Darling.
01:00:34That woman is just
01:00:36after daddy's money.
01:00:38You're lying. I hate you.
01:00:40You can't talk to me like that.
01:00:42I'm your mother.
01:00:44No, you're not. Everly is my mommy.
01:00:46You're scary.
01:00:48You little brat.
01:00:50Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:00:52Mommy, daddy!
01:00:56Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:00:58Mommy, daddy!
01:01:00Kendra, what the hell?
01:01:02I'm trying to protect my daughter from this fucking bitch.
01:01:04Hey, watch your language in front of Bella.
01:01:06Strawberries?
01:01:08Kendra, are you insane?
01:01:10Bella's deathly allergic.
01:01:12How was I supposed to know? You never let me see Bethany.
01:01:14That's a lie. You abandoned her.
01:01:16Shut up, you lying gold digger.
01:01:18I'm twice the mother that you'll ever be.
01:01:20Bella!
01:01:22Come back, sweetie.
01:01:24She's overwhelmed. You're scaring her.
01:01:26You know nothing
01:01:28about my daughter.
01:01:30But I know about you.
01:01:32You're just a foster kid.
01:01:34One step up from the gutter.
01:01:36Bella and I both know that Everly is the best
01:01:38thing to happen to this family.
01:01:40Bella,
01:01:42sweetie, you can't possibly
01:01:44think that this poor substitute
01:01:46is better than a real mother.
01:01:48We have the same blood.
01:01:50You're part Rossi.
01:01:52You can't ask your daughter that. Shut up!
01:01:54Kendra, this isn't some game
01:01:56that you can win. This is Bella and Julian's
01:01:58lives.
01:02:00I don't know why, but you abandoned them.
01:02:02You trying to snatch them back
01:02:04just so you can win won't make you happy.
01:02:06You have to move on.
01:02:08You have to move on.
01:02:12I know I don't deserve her,
01:02:14but I found out last month
01:02:16that I'm infertile.
01:02:18I can never
01:02:20have another baby.
01:02:22Bella's it for me.
01:02:34I know she's done some bad things,
01:02:36but she's still your
01:02:38mother, Bella. Why don't you go give her
01:02:40a hug?
01:02:42I don't
01:02:44really hate you.
01:02:46I know, baby.
01:02:50It's all my fault.
01:02:54You're right.
01:02:56I only
01:02:58wanted to win.
01:03:00You can win a game, but you can never
01:03:02win someone's heart.
01:03:04You're very wise.
01:03:06Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be your
01:03:08friend. I'm just
01:03:10trying to leave my daughter with a happy memory.
01:03:16Take care, Kendra.
01:03:18Maybe one day I'll let Bella write you. She's older.
01:03:22Bye, sweetie.
01:03:28She fell for my sob story.
01:03:30Stupid bitch.
01:03:32I won't stop until I get my man back
01:03:34and the kid with him.
01:03:40Oh!
01:03:42What's all this for?
01:03:46100th Annual International Bake-Off.
01:03:48Sounds like a big deal.
01:03:50It's invitation only,
01:03:52and I can't believe I got in.
01:03:54If I do well, it'll really help put the bakery
01:03:56on the map.
01:03:58Well, given how you rocked that bake sale,
01:04:00you've got this in the bag.
01:04:02That was nothing. I need a showstopper that's gonna dazzle
01:04:04their taste buds and win over their
01:04:06hearts.
01:04:08Hmm.
01:04:10So what's the secret weapon?
01:04:12Vanilla rosemary five-layer cake
01:04:14topped with a lavender buttercream
01:04:16and a hint of orange zest.
01:04:18Sounds like I need to clear some space on the mantle
01:04:20for that first place trophy.
01:04:22Cut it out!
01:04:24I'm trying to concentrate.
01:04:26Oh. Am I distracting you?
01:04:28I'm a sucker for a messy
01:04:30apron.
01:04:32Okay, fine.
01:04:34You can stay, but you have to make yourself
01:04:36useful.
01:04:38What's first, chef?
01:04:42Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our
01:04:44100th Annual International Bake-Off.
01:04:46Please find your seat.
01:04:48Our competition will start shortly.
01:04:56You got this, girl. We'll be in the front row
01:04:58cheering you on, okay?
01:05:00Thank you, Sammy. I'm gonna go check my presentation one more time.
01:05:06Knock them dead out there, sweetheart.
01:05:10Good luck.
01:05:18There you are,
01:05:20falling nicely into my trap.
01:05:22Who do you think arranged the invite,
01:05:24you pathetic nobody?
01:05:26Hey, Everly.
01:05:28Ready to get crushed.
01:05:30Andrea, what are you doing here?
01:05:32Are you stalking me?
01:05:34You look scared.
01:05:36You should be.
01:05:38I'm going to win that trophy
01:05:40and confuse the butter baker and mother.
01:05:42I'm infertile.
01:05:44I can never have another baby.
01:05:46So everything you said at the park
01:05:48was a lie.
01:05:50I'm sorry.
01:05:52I'm sorry.
01:05:54So everything you said at the park was a lie.
01:05:56You're not infertile. You just can't
01:05:58stand that Bella chose me.
01:06:00I'm her fucking mother, bitch.
01:06:02You're a monster.
01:06:04And you're just an amateur who doesn't deserve to be here.
01:06:06Did you really
01:06:08think you earned a place in this competition?
01:06:10I'm the one who got the judges
01:06:12to invite you, and now Julian's going to see
01:06:14what a poor orphan loser
01:06:16you truly are.
01:06:18Bring it on, Rossi.
01:06:20My recipe has heart
01:06:22and soul, and they will beat your assembly
01:06:24line crap any day.
01:06:28Oh, yeah?
01:06:30Do you know what goes great with cake?
01:06:32What?
01:06:34Coffee.
01:06:36Oops!
01:06:38Oops!
01:06:44Kendra, what the hell?
01:06:46You better go get cleaned up.
01:06:48I wouldn't want to meet the judges looking like that.
01:06:50So unsanitary.
01:07:08Your knight in shining armor can't save your ass
01:07:10this time. Never leave.
01:07:14Our next competitor, Kendra
01:07:16Rossi.
01:07:20Hi, judge.
01:07:22This is my own
01:07:24one-of-a-kind original recipe.
01:07:28A vanilla
01:07:30rosemary five-layer cake
01:07:32with lavender buttercream and a hint
01:07:34of orange zest. That's my cake!
01:07:40What are you talking about?
01:07:42You stole my recipe.
01:07:44A nobody accusing me,
01:07:46a Rossi, of cheating?
01:07:48How dare you?
01:07:50Man.
01:07:52You have impeccable taste in women because
01:07:54obviously you chose Everly,
01:07:56but that woman up there?
01:07:58How did you end up with such a nightmare ex?
01:08:00I was young.
01:08:02And stupid. Yeah, obviously.
01:08:04So what are we going to do to salvage this?
01:08:06Can't you just pull some strings or something?
01:08:08You're Julie and freaking Barlow, for goodness sake.
01:08:10It's not that simple. I know Everly wouldn't want
01:08:12to win that way.
01:08:14Dammit.
01:08:16So what do we do now?
01:08:20Ginger can't get away with this.
01:08:22A nobody
01:08:24accusing me, a Rossi,
01:08:26of cheating?
01:08:28How dare you?
01:08:32Oops!
01:08:34You better go get cleaned up.
01:08:36Wouldn't want to meet the judges looking like that.
01:08:38So that's why you spilled coffee on me.
01:08:40So you could hack my laptop
01:08:42behind my back the same way you switched the lollipops
01:08:44behind my back when you poisoned Bella.
01:08:46That is
01:08:48a serious accusation.
01:08:50Now, can you prove that
01:08:52this cake is your creation?
01:08:54Here's your proof.
01:09:02We can't see anything.
01:09:04The screen is blank.
01:09:08We can't see anything.
01:09:10The screen is blank.
01:09:12What happened to my files? They're not there.
01:09:14As I said,
01:09:16this recipe is mine, and mine alone.
01:09:18No, no, no, no. It's not true!
01:09:20Ken to Rossi, you're a thief!
01:09:22I think we've heard enough.
01:09:24Sir, I know this recipe,
01:09:26my recipe by heart. I can recite it from memory.
01:09:28I'm afraid that doesn't
01:09:30prove anything.
01:09:32Now, I think it's best
01:09:34that you leave the stage now,
01:09:36for I have to disqualify you.
01:09:38Isn't that
01:09:40the baker from Sweet Escape Bakery
01:09:42not going to her shop
01:09:44ever?
01:09:48Wait!
01:09:52Wait!
01:09:54This will prove
01:09:56the recipe is Everly's.
01:10:04Now, you're going to want to let it cool for about ten minutes.
01:10:06Hey, back on me.
01:10:08This is the important part.
01:10:10The last step is to lightly dust with a layer
01:10:12of orange zest, just enough
01:10:14to reach the edges.
01:10:20And then you're going to want to
01:10:22add a pinch of salt.
01:10:24And...
01:10:26voila!
01:10:28You'll see the timestamp of this raw footage
01:10:30was taken two weeks ago.
01:10:32And speaking from experience,
01:10:34no one can make this
01:10:36cake exactly like my wife.
01:10:44Something's
01:10:46different.
01:10:48Taste for yourself.
01:10:54Salt.
01:10:56It's missing the salt. I didn't include it
01:10:58in my recipe notes. It was a last-minute, spur-of-the-moment
01:11:00addition. Totally spontaneous.
01:11:02And yet, it made all the
01:11:04difference in the world.
01:11:06Salt?!
01:11:08Salt?!
01:11:26Salt or not,
01:11:28this is no ordinary cake.
01:11:30And it could only come
01:11:32from the heart and soul
01:11:34of an extraordinary
01:11:36baker.
01:11:42You almost ruined my wife today!
01:11:44This is your last straw! Confess
01:11:46or I'm calling the police.
01:11:48But I didn't.
01:11:50Okay, okay!
01:11:52I did it.
01:11:56I did it. All of it.
01:11:58Are you happy now?
01:12:00Dragging me in the mud like this in front of everyone?
01:12:02Julian, you broke
01:12:04my heart! You have to have a heart
01:12:06for it to be broken.
01:12:08How can you say that?
01:12:10I loved you more than anything.
01:12:12And then this bitch gets into the picture
01:12:14and suddenly I'm nothing?
01:12:16Just some garbage you can throw away?
01:12:18What is so
01:12:20special about her, Julian?
01:12:22She's not prettier than me. She can't
01:12:24be better in bed than me. What do you possibly
01:12:26see in her that you don't see in me?!
01:12:28Maybe I'm just a better baker
01:12:30than you, Kendra.
01:12:32Here.
01:12:34Have a taste.
01:12:36I don't want your stupid salt!
01:12:38Oh my god!
01:12:40Oh my god!
01:12:42It smells disgusting! It smells
01:12:44like a rotten potato chip
01:12:46and Bella could have made a better cake
01:12:48than that!
01:12:50I...
01:12:52I don't even know
01:12:54what to say about everything that's going on
01:12:56here. Say I can present my cake.
01:12:58That's all I came
01:13:00here to do, sir.
01:13:02Fair enough. The ingredients in my cake
01:13:04are pretty traditional in terms of regular
01:13:06cake ingredients. I like the rosemary because it
01:13:08tends to cut through the sweetness
01:13:10of traditional cakes while also balancing
01:13:12the orange zest, aromatic flavoring
01:13:14that we really look for in a well-balanced
01:13:16cake. I also, um, not
01:13:18listed, I add a little bit of salt on top
01:13:20just to balance everything out and
01:13:22I hope you really like it.
01:13:24Applause
01:13:30We have seen
01:13:32a lot of great bakes this year
01:13:34but nothing in the
01:13:36history of this competition has
01:13:38ever compared to this year's
01:13:40first prize winner
01:13:42Everly Harper!
01:13:44This year's
01:13:46first prize winner, Everly
01:13:48Harper!
01:13:50Applause
01:13:52Congratulations, Miss Harper. Truly
01:13:54well-deserved.
01:13:56Would you excuse me?
01:14:02Oh, we did it, Samantha, we did it!
01:14:04No, Everly, you did this.
01:14:06Hold on.
01:14:10Listen to this. Orders
01:14:12are flooding in like crazy.
01:14:14No, no, no, no, no. I've got this.
01:14:16Trust me. Now get out of here.
01:14:18Go celebrate with your hubby.
01:14:20Yeah?
01:14:22I am so
01:14:24proud of you, Everly.
01:14:34Get lost.
01:14:36I'm more likely to stick a bitch
01:14:38than suck a dick right now.
01:14:40Good. Then we both
01:14:42want the same thing.
01:14:44Yeah? What's that?
01:14:46Revenge.
01:14:48I've spent the last two weeks learning everything
01:14:50I can about Julian Barlow and Everly Harper's
01:14:52relationship. And I think
01:14:54what I found might interest you.
01:14:56Who the fuck are you?
01:14:58I'm someone that hates
01:15:00Julian, and I heard you're someone
01:15:02that hates Everly.
01:15:04So I have a plan that'll get us both
01:15:06what we want.
01:15:08I'm listening.
01:15:10Am I doing it right?
01:15:12Those look great.
01:15:14Just squeeze your bag a little bit tighter.
01:15:16More icing equals more smiles.
01:15:20Okay.
01:15:22Time to switch to croissants.
01:15:24The chocolate filled kind?
01:15:26All different kinds.
01:15:28Can you go in the freezer in the back
01:15:30and get me two blocks of butter?
01:15:32They are left side, middle shelf.
01:15:34Left side, middle shelf, two blocks.
01:15:36Got it.
01:15:38Left side, middle shelf, two blocks.
01:15:40Got it.
01:15:56You're coming with me, Bella.
01:15:58I'm your mother, not that whore.
01:16:00Everly!
01:16:02Save your breath, kid.
01:16:04She can't hear you anyway.
01:16:06Everly!
01:16:08Everly! Shut up.
01:16:12Go!
01:16:36Bella? Bella?
01:16:38Bella!
01:16:50Everly!
01:16:52Back here!
01:16:58Shh.
01:17:06This is Julian Barlow.
01:17:08I have your daughter.
01:17:10And if I don't get 200 million
01:17:12in cash by sundown,
01:17:14she won't see the sunrise.
01:17:16What did you do with Bella?
01:17:18Who is this?
01:17:2010 million.
01:17:22Unmarked bills split into two separate duffel bags.
01:17:24Let me talk to Bella.
01:17:26I need to know she's safe.
01:17:28Only after I get the money.
01:17:30Damn you!
01:17:32It's just a little girl.
01:17:34Put the cash inside the office cabin
01:17:36and come alone
01:17:38because I'll be watching.
01:17:40When do I get Bella?
01:17:48What are we going to do?
01:17:50I'll call my bank
01:17:52and I'll get the money within an hour.
01:17:54Okay.
01:17:56Hello?
01:17:58Anybody?
01:18:00Hello?
01:18:02What is she doing here?
01:18:04I need an explanation for this.
01:18:06Mother, now is not the time for this.
01:18:08I had to learn from Kendra
01:18:10that you're not married at all,
01:18:12that you fake everything.
01:18:14What is this? This is from my sage.
01:18:16Combination was Bella's birthday.
01:18:18Very sloppy of you, Julian.
01:18:20How could you lie to your own mother
01:18:22and present this fraud
01:18:24as if she were actually your wife?
01:18:26I knew she was a gold digger,
01:18:28but I didn't know she was a tramp for hire.
01:18:30This is not important right now.
01:18:32That is just a piece of paper, Mother.
01:18:34I have to find Bella. She's been kidnapped.
01:18:36My grandbaby has been kidnapped?
01:18:38What happened?
01:18:40Bella and I were baking
01:18:42and someone grabbed me.
01:18:44I blacked out and when I woke up,
01:18:46she was gone.
01:18:48I have to get the ransom money
01:18:50together now, so if you two could please just...
01:18:52Just what?
01:18:54Stand aside and let you handle it?
01:18:56You brought this tramp into my daughter's home
01:18:58and because of her,
01:19:00Bella's life is at stake.
01:19:02Ew.
01:19:04It smells.
01:19:06Did you just let common street trash walk in here?
01:19:08Don't talk about him like that.
01:19:10Bernie is a veteran. He served our country.
01:19:12I'm sorry, Bernie.
01:19:14I don't have the day offs for you today.
01:19:16But I have something for you.
01:19:18That lady?
01:19:20I saw her. And a tall man.
01:19:24Go back and crawl
01:19:26into whatever hole you came out of, you filthy animal.
01:19:30I saw them.
01:19:34They took that little girl.
01:19:36You fucking bitch!
01:19:38What did you do? Where's Bella?
01:19:40He's obviously deranged. Or on drugs. Or both.
01:19:42A tall man.
01:19:44Did he have short, blonde hair?
01:19:46Athletic build?
01:19:52Nolan. She's working with Nolan.
01:19:54Where is she? Where is Bella?
01:19:56Tell me now!
01:19:58I...
01:20:04Oh! What the hell?
01:20:06Where's my daughter?
01:20:14Where is she?
01:20:24Daddy?
01:20:32My little escape artist.
01:20:34You can come out now, Moshkin.
01:20:36It's safe.
01:20:38Daddy and everyone are here.
01:20:44Hey.
01:20:54This is ridiculous!
01:20:56It's not kidnapping if it's your own child!
01:21:00This is ridiculous!
01:21:02It's not kidnapping if it's your own child!
01:21:06It's over.
01:21:08It's finally over.
01:21:10Isn't me and mommy
01:21:12going for a good daddy?
01:21:14She'll never bother you again, Moshkin.
01:21:16I want you both to know that
01:21:18I'm very ashamed for my part
01:21:20in Kendra's scheme.
01:21:22We can't continue this fake marriage.
01:21:24You're right, mother.
01:21:30Everly Harper,
01:21:32you're the most loving, brave, and talented
01:21:34woman I've ever known.
01:21:36Your beauty is just dessert after a rich meal.
01:21:38My life feels full
01:21:40with you in it.
01:21:42Will you do me the honor of marrying me?
01:21:44Amy!
01:21:52Moshkin Barlow,
01:21:54if I was to create a recipe for the
01:21:56bravest, smartest, most loving man,
01:21:58it would be you.
01:22:02Your wealth is not a dessert,
01:22:04but a mere appetizer.
01:22:06So, yes, I will marry you.
01:22:08Amy, too.
01:22:14I don't know what all that nonsense about food was,
01:22:16but the rest was lovely.
01:22:18I guess I'll give the girl a chance
01:22:20if she can make my son and grandbaby
01:22:22smile like that.
01:22:24I hope you make that.
01:22:26Yes, you did, Bella.
01:22:28Have you guys ever seen
01:22:30such a beautiful family?
01:22:32Yes, I have.
01:22:34I love you.
01:22:36I love you.
01:22:38I love you.
01:22:40I love you.
01:22:42I love you.
01:22:44I love you.
01:22:46I love you.
01:22:48I love you.
01:22:50I love you.
01:22:52Have you guys ever seen such a beautiful family?
01:22:54I'm so happy for you.
01:22:56Thanks, Bestie.
01:22:58Mommy,
01:23:00how about a cake fight?
01:23:02You're a girl after my own heart, Bella.
01:23:04Everybody,
01:23:06cake fight!
01:23:22Cake fight!
01:23:44Couldn't you have gotten me something more practical?
01:23:46This is going to be a bear to bake with.
01:23:48Only my wife would complain about
01:23:50a 15 carat flawless diamond
01:23:52being too big.
01:23:54Sorry.
01:23:56I'm not.
01:23:58God, I love you.
01:24:02Hey, Mr. Barlow.
01:24:06Hey, Miss Barlow.
01:24:08Who said I was changing my name?
01:24:14On the topic of change,
01:24:16I've been thinking.
01:24:18What do you think
01:24:20we give her a sibling?
01:24:22Just one.
01:24:24Foster kid here.
01:24:26I always dreamed of having a big family.
01:24:28How big are we talking?
01:24:48You know what?
01:24:50I don't know.
01:24:52I don't know.
01:24:54I don't know.
01:24:56I don't know.
01:24:58I don't know.
01:25:00I don't know.
01:25:02I don't know.
01:25:04I don't know.
01:25:06I don't know.
01:25:08I don't know.
01:25:10I don't know.
