00:00:00 My name is Claire Duval.
00:00:01 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 And you just don't know it yet.
00:00:28 You're not a nobody.
00:00:30 Nobody took 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.
00:00:38 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?
00:00:53 [Claire Duval, 23 years old]
00:00:54 Claire Bear, my love for you, it transcends words.
00:01:10 You're my forever.
00:01:12 Will you marry me?
00:01:17 Yes.
00:01:22 Yeah!
00:01:23 Okay, wait, you guys look so good.
00:01:27 I need a photo.
00:01:28 One, two, three.
00:01:29 Lucky bitch.
00:01:32 To Claire and Dylan!
00:01:34 Woo!
00:01:36 Drink more, baby.
00:01:37 So, you proposed to that bitch, huh?
00:01:47 You're so fucking sexy.
00:01:50 I want you now, Dylan.
00:01:53 Hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?
00:01:55 She's right there.
00:01:56 Don't worry about her.
00:01:57 I slept with her or something.
00:01:59 You all know.
00:02:20 You've lost everything.
00:02:22 And you just don't know it yet.
00:02:24 I'm pregnant with Dylan's child.
00:02:33 He won't show up tomorrow.
00:02:35 Rise and shine!
00:02:39 Wait, no can do.
00:02:42 What happened here after I left?
00:02:44 So, I had the most awful dream last night.
00:02:47 No more wedding jitters.
00:02:48 You can't be late to your big date.
00:02:50 That's bad luck.
00:02:51 Speaking of luck, I brought you something new.
00:02:54 It's beautiful.
00:02:57 Thank you.
00:02:58 I hope you didn't spend too much.
00:02:59 Oh, never do.
00:03:00 L.E. Express, baby.
00:03:02 Things you love don't need to break the bank.
00:03:03 Come on.
00:03:05 You're getting married!
00:03:06 Let's go.
00:03:07 Is it really a dream?
00:03:13 Dylan, where are you?
00:03:17 Hey, I'm at the hospital.
00:03:19 Are you okay? What happened?
00:03:21 No, I'm fine.
00:03:23 It's Ava.
00:03:24 She fainted.
00:03:26 Yeah, the doctors are running tests.
00:03:28 I'm with her now.
00:03:29 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 you wait.
00:03:37 He's mine.
00:03:40 I'm with her now.
00:03:45 So, I'm not going to be able to marry you today.
00:03:48 I know, I'm sorry.
00:03:49 I wanted to be there, but Ava...
00:03:51 Ava really needs me.
00:03:52 Come on, Claire Bear.
00:03:54 You know I love you.
00:03:55 Hey, I gotta go.
00:03:57 Get off.
00:04:06 I can't get enough of you.
00:04:07 It wasn't a dream.
00:04:15 It's real.
00:04:16 It's all real.
00:04:19 Christian, your fiancé refuses to sign the prenup,
00:04:36 but now she won't answer her phone.
00:04:37 She stalled until the wedding day.
00:04:39 This is blackmail. Cut her loose.
00:04:42 That's Christian Cross, the CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment.
00:04:46 Christian, your father...
00:04:50 He doesn't care who I marry as long as it gets done today.
00:04:53 Find me another girl.
00:04:55 We've got an hour.
00:04:56 I must be crazy to even consider this.
00:04:59 Mr. Cross?
00:05:02 I have a proposition for you.
00:05:04 My name is Claire Duval.
00:05:14 My fiancé betrayed me with the woman who I thought was a friend.
00:05:17 I'm not going to let you get away with this.
00:05:19 I'm going to tell you everything.
00:05:21 I'm going to tell you everything.
00:05:23 I'm going to tell you everything.
00:05:25 I'm going to tell you everything.
00:05:27 I'm going to tell you everything.
00:05:29 My fiancé betrayed me with the woman who I thought was a friend.
00:05:32 Okay.
00:05:33 How is it I can help you, Ms. Duval?
00:05:36 Actually, it's how we can help each other.
00:05:39 You need a wife, and I need revenge.
00:05:42 We should get married.
00:05:44 Gavin?
00:05:47 Already on it.
00:05:48 Claire Duval, 25.
00:05:50 No criminal record.
00:05:51 Model with the Mews Talent Agency, and...
00:05:54 Unmarried.
00:05:56 Deal.
00:05:57 Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Cross.
00:06:05 Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Cross.
00:06:08 So, thank you for doing this.
00:06:28 If it's all the same to you,
00:06:30 I'd like to keep this...
00:06:32 arrangement...
00:06:33 a secret for now.
00:06:35 I need my fiancé...
00:06:36 ex-fiancé...
00:06:38 to find out about us in the right way,
00:06:40 at just the right moment.
00:06:42 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.
00:06:49 Fair enough.
00:06:50 One more thing.
00:06:52 I need this marriage to appear as real as possible.
00:06:55 That means living under the same roof.
00:06:58 Oh.
00:06:59 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, um...
00:07:18 she's something.
00:07:19 Don't you mean Mrs. Cross?
00:07:21 Right.
00:07:22 I just mean...
00:07:24 You didn't even mention the prenup.
00:07:26 Am I missing something?
00:07:27 Something you can fathom.
00:07:29 I want you to keep a close eye on my wife.
00:07:32 Send her a dumb-buzz.
00:07:34 Okay, she's walking in right now.
00:07:49 I gotta go.
00:07:50 Hey, thank God you're here.
00:07:54 Ava was supposed to walk him to the tour show later today.
00:07:56 I need you to pretend to be her.
00:07:58 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.
00:08:16 I'm sorry everything got so screwed up yesterday.
00:08:21 We'll get married soon.
00:08:23 I promise.
00:08:26 You don't know just how sorry you're gonna be.
00:08:29 Welcome to the Vincent Latour Jewelry Showcase
00:08:33 with fashion outfits provided by AliExpress.
00:08:36 I'm going to be sick.
00:08:44 What a two-timing bastard.
00:08:45 Ava, that bastard bitch!
00:08:47 I know.
00:08:48 Guard this with your life.
00:08:50 Sad as it is.
00:08:51 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.
00:08:58 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.
00:09:06 They can never know you're not Ava.
00:09:08 Silly, what are you doing?
00:09:17 I'm grabbing your model gift thing and we're out of here.
00:09:19 You're not 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 in the True Love collection
00:09:31 is Ava Bennett.
00:09:33 Behold the Juliet bracelet.
00:09:38 Crafted with 36 exquisite emeralds
00:09:41 and 15 flawless diamonds,
00:09:43 this 22-carat wonder
00:09:46 graces the wrist of our radiant Miss Ava Bennett.
00:09:51 [Gasps]
00:09:53 Wow.
00:09:54 Oh my gosh.
00:09:56 What is that?
00:09:57 I don't do anklets.
00:09:58 I hate anklets.
00:10:00 Ooh, I'm a genius.
00:10:06 I love it.
00:10:07 I want one.
00:10:08 Oh, perhaps I could envision an anklet or two in my line.
00:10:13 Your girl just came out.
00:10:17 You should get in here.
00:10:19 Oh, hello.
00:10:21 That is not Ava Bennett.
00:10:23 She does not possess fabulous legs like that.
00:10:26 What is she up to?
00:10:28 Who's under the mask?
00:10:30 Mask up!
00:10:32 Mask up! Mask up! Mask up! Mask up! Mask up! Mask up! Mask up! Mask up! Mask up! Mask up!
00:10:41 Well, let's all see what we're hiding here.
00:10:45 [Gasps]
00:10:47 Wow. Is that Ava?
00:10:49 That's not Ava.
00:10:50 She's so beautiful.
00:10:51 Is that not Ava?
00:10:52 Where did you come from?
00:10:54 That's Claire Duval.
00:10:57 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]
00:11:17 You alright?
00:11:20 I am now.
00:11:22 John Fairchild, Glamour Magazine.
00:11:28 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.
00:11:38 [Car engine starts]
00:11:40 Need a ride?
00:11:47 Well, that was exciting.
00:11:55 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?
00:12:02 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.
00:12:17 And you did so spectacularly.
00:12:20 I've never seen a model command the stage like you did up there.
00:12:23 For a nobody.
00:12:25 You're not a nobody.
00:12:27 Nobody would take their eyes off of you.
00:12:29 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.
00:12:37 And why is that?
00:12:39 From where I'm sitting, you have everything you need to be a top model.
00:12:42 I don't know. Just unlucky or something.
00:12:45 Or something.
00:12:47 I think I'm going to be sick.
00:12:54 I can't deal with more reporters tonight.
00:12:56 We can go back to my place.
00:12:58 It's your call.
00:13:01 Let's do it.
00:13:03 This night can't get any crazier.
00:13:05 Oh, I gotta get this.
00:13:07 Hey.
00:13:09 It's not good.
00:13:11 Ava just gave an interview.
00:13:13 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 Bentelator like she does.
00:13:26 And in fact, she said that you deliberately did.
00:13:29 You deliberately pushed her.
00:13:31 And that's how she got hurt.
00:13:33 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.
00:13:42 Ava's going to want to revel in this victory, and she has a thing for bathrooms, so...
00:13:46 Yuck!
00:13:48 Gross.
00:13:50 Zoe, here's what we're going to do.
00:13:52 Mr. 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, 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.
00:14:17 Yes, you have my word.
00:14:19 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. Let's celebrate.
00:14:28 Are you going to join me?
00:14:40 Oh, do you think that's a good idea?
00:14:43 Because the doctor hasn't diagnosed your mysterious stomach issue yet.
00:14:47 I have a different kind of ache, and I need you to take care of it.
00:14:52 [music]
00:14:54 Wine?
00:14:58 Is that a Jackson Pollock?
00:15:00 It is. It's my favorite piece of his.
00:15:03 It's incredible.
00:15:05 You hungry?
00:15:07 Starved.
00:15:09 You're awfully quiet.
00:15:19 More like speechless.
00:15:21 The food was amazing. 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.
00:15:31 I get it.
00:15:33 You would.
00:15:35 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?
00:15:49 To most, I am that person.
00:15:52 But to the ones I hold dear, the ones I choose to let in...
00:15:57 [music]
00:15:59 [phone ringing]
00:16:01 Make no mistake, Claire. If you do betray me, you'll be no forgiveness.
00:16:20 Right back at you, Mr. Cross.
00:16:23 [music]
00:16:25 Morning.
00:16:36 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 [laughter]
00:16:44 Hello?
00:16:47 Hello?
00:16:49 Hey, where are you?
00:16:51 I'm at the Vista hideout. The reporters are hounding me.
00:16:53 Claire Bear, I know this isn't ideal, but I need you in the office right now.
00:16:58 Not ideal? Ava practically told the whole world I'm crazy.
00:17:02 Just forgive her.
00:17:03 Poor Ava.
00:17:04 The medication she's on is making her paranoid.
00:17:07 Will I see you soon?
00:17:09 Sure, Dylan. I'll see you soon.
00:17:12 What are you doing?
00:17:16 Just in case you need anything.
00:17:19 Daddy?
00:17:20 I mean, I was going to put hubby, but since you're keeping me a secret...
00:17:24 For now.
00:17:26 What were you thinking, Claire?
00:17:33 All you had to do was put on the damn bracelet and walk the run race show for Ava.
00:17:37 Why would you draw that much attention to your legs?
00:17:40 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,
00:18:07 Muse will lose the Latour contract.
00:18:10 This will cause a domino effect at the agency, and I won't be able to stop the cutbacks.
00:18:14 Junior staff will lose their jobs. That includes Zoe.
00:18:18 I can't have that.
00:18:20 I can't have that.
00:18:23 Well, there's not much time.
00:18:25 My legal department has prepared a damage control script.
00:18:29 Memorize it.
00:18:32 You'll be meeting with the press in ten minutes.
00:18:34 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, never really took off.
00:18:46 Despite all the opportunities I created for you.
00:18:49 I get it. I'm expendable.
00:18:53 And one more thing. Stick to the script. No more improvising.
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.
00:19:14 Please tell me you're not using a burner.
00:19:16 Who the hell are you?
00:19:18 I'm thinking too small, Rikki.
00:19:23 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.
00:19:44 I take full responsibility for my actions.
00:19:47 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.
00:19:56 Photos? What photos?
00:20:04 Photos? What photos?
00:20:06 This is evidence that Ms. Duval regularly pretended to be Ms. Bennett over the last two years.
00:20:12 Surely the president of the company must have known.
00:20:15 Right.
00:20:16 Claire, if you're being used as a scapegoat and you want to be rescued, just blink twice.
00:20:20 Ms. 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 Oh, we are done here.
00:20:39 Wait a minute. Wait, Mr. Maxwell.
00:20:41 [indistinct chatter]
00:20:44 Wait, wait, hold on. Mr. Maxwell?
00:20:46 Mr. Maxwell, wait a minute.
00:20:48 Nicely done, Gavin.
00:20:51 Thank you, Christian.
00:20:53 Lady's had it under control. I just gave her a little boost.
00:20:57 My wife's a force of nature.
00:20:59 Yeah, she's had to be.
00:21:02 [thud]
00:21:03 Take a look at that.
00:21:06 Here's what I got so far.
00:21:11 Upon signing with Muse Talent Agency at 21, Claire Duval was initially overseen by Miranda Maxwell,
00:21:17 Donald Maxwell's older sister.
00:21:19 Now the chairman of Maxwell Holdings.
00:21:21 We've crossed paths.
00:21:22 Exactly.
00:21:23 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.
00:21:36 Offers dried up completely.
00:21:38 They deliberately ruined her.
00:21:40 It appears that way, but why?
00:21:44 If you want to crush someone's dream, you don't just take it away.
00:21:48 You kill it.
00:21:50 By that time, Claire's access to senior management was non-existent.
00:21:55 She was relegated to a junior manager by the name of Zoey Bauer.
00:21:58 And that's when Dylan Maxwell started dating Claire.
00:22:02 He broke her down just so he could scoop her up.
00:22:05 Doesn't make sense.
00:22:08 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.
00:22:21 We have to find the puppet master.
00:22:24 [phone ringing]
00:22:50 [phone vibrating]
00:22:53 What?
00:22:59 Claire, the paparazzi keeps following me everywhere, but I think I can lose them.
00:23:03 Can I come over?
00:23:05 No. No, I'm crashing at Zoey's.
00:23:08 We need to strategize our next move.
00:23:11 What next move? There is no next move.
00:23:13 I've done my part and took the blame.
00:23:15 No, no, no. It backfired.
00:23:16 They're not after you now, Claire. They're after me.
00:23:18 You could go and apologize to Ava.
00:23:20 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?
00:23:35 Of course, Dylan.
00:23:39 Hmm.
00:23:41 I'll be right there.
00:23:45 [sighs]
00:23:47 When she gets here, I say we put Claire in her place.
00:23:51 [laughs]
00:23:52 The little princess bowing before me. Genius. I love it.
00:23:56 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.
00:24:04 True that.
00:24:05 Honestly, the one true star of Muse Talent Agency is Ava Bennett-Maxwell.
00:24:13 Accurate.
00:24:15 She's going to push your buttons. Don't let her.
00:24:19 I won't.
00:24:21 Stop. She's coming.
00:24:27 Ava?
00:24:32 Claire?
00:24:33 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.
00:24:45 What is this?
00:24:54 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.
00:25:09 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. 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?
00:26:03 [laughs]
00:26:05 Hey, fams. Reggie here. Welcome back to my channel.
00:26:09 So, the past 40 hours have been a caray cray.
00:26:13 So, let's figure out what's going on in the battle royale of supermodels.
00:26:17 I will never, for as long as I live, apologize to the likes of you.
00:26:24 Ooh, ooh, ooh. Listen here.
00:26:28 Claire Dee was about to show all her true colors.
00:26:30 But guess what, fans? That girl has nothing to apologize for.
00:26:35 Nada. Zilch.
00:26:37 Because this intrepid reporter has obtained intimate photos of Ava B and a certain muse CEO.
00:26:44 Dylan M, aren't you engaged to, uh, Claire Dee?
00:26:47 She just got a cheat, I guess.
00:26:49 And listen here, Ava B.
00:26:51 You are one naughty, nasty, disgusting little girl, by the way.
00:26:57 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 Wrong.
00:27:07 Miss Reggie took your anonymous tip and ran with it. It's brilliant, Claire.
00:27:10 Oh, that? That was nothing.
00:27:12 You're enjoying this.
00:27:15 What's that old expression, "Revenge is sweet"?
00:27:18 I like this side of you.
00:27:20 Then do you want to join me on part two of my revenge?
00:27:23 Lead the way.
00:27:26 [phone rings]
00:27:28 Hey, it's Claire. Leave a message.
00:27:30 Hey, Claire Bear. Um, I'm here where you told us to meet. Where are you?
00:27:35 Hey, love, 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.
00:27:50 I cannot tell you how many times I was 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?
00:28:01 How can I love someone I never really knew?
00:28:06 Look at him over there, plotting ways to get me back. 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.
00:28:19 [grunts]
00:28:21 Poor bastard.
00:28:24 You want to keep watching?
00:28:27 No. I'm ready to move forward.
00:28:30 Let's go back to my house and get the last of my things.
00:28:33 She came by to say goodnight.
00:28:44 Come in.
00:28:46 Is this your family?
00:28:48 Yeah, this is my debutante ball. I was 20.
00:28:52 Was it a memorable night?
00:28:54 Unforgettable.
00:28:56 Claire? Where are you, Claire?
00:29:01 Claire?
00:29:03 Claire, there you are. What are you doing hiding out here? This is your debut.
00:29:10 I just need a moment, Mom.
00:29:12 Hm. Well, your grandmother's looking for you. She has someone she wants you to meet.
00:29:17 It's quite a catch.
00:29:19 I want more from this life than balls and suitable matches and this golden cage.
00:29:24 There's a world out there to explore. Adventures to have. Risks to take.
00:29:28 Enough of this nonsense, Claire. Your grandmother is not someone to be trifled with.
00:29:34 Well, tell her thanks but no thanks.
00:29:36 Honestly, tell her I'd rather die than meet another "coward" like you.
00:29:41 I'd rather die than meet another boring, entitled rich boy that checks all of her boxes.
00:29:46 Don't be selfish.
00:29:48 Can't afford another scandal.
00:29:51 Like when Dad left his first wife for you?
00:29:54 Like when Dad left his first wife for you?
00:30:05 Remember who you are. The sole heiress to the Winthrop Empire.
00:30:11 You need to stay here and do your part, young lady.
00:30:15 I'm not your young lady. And I'm no longer a Winthrop.
00:30:20 From now on, I'll forge my own path and make my own name.
00:30:24 That was the last time I saw them before I ran away.
00:30:34 They died in a helicopter crash a year later.
00:30:37 Hmm, what's the five gonna be today?
00:31:02 Endless possibilities. So many to pick from.
00:31:05 With AliExpress, you're covered wherever you go.
00:31:08 Dylan, did you see it? It should be me modeling for AliExpress.
00:31:15 First the scandal and now this. The world is turning against me. 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.
00:31:32 I'm-
00:31:33 Curb your appetite, baby brother.
00:31:40 This was supposed to be easy. And you're fucking it all up.
00:31:46 Claire, it's me. I'm coming in, okay?
00:31:53 Okay.
00:31:54 Claire, they're replying backfire. Should I be worried? Where are you?
00:32:06 I'm home.
00:32:07 Bullshit. I am in your house.
00:32:10 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.
00:32:21 So Claire, where are you?
00:32:23 In the mood for a frittata?
00:32:25 Fritt-sata? Who's that?
00:32:28 So, I got married.
00:32:33 Married? When? How? With? With who?
00:32:40 It's a long story, Ava. It's too long for a phone call. 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.
00:32:57 You.
00:32:58 [grunts]
00:33:01 [laughs] Why would you do that?
00:33:05 For being an arrogant prick.
00:33:07 You got a short fuse, rookie?
00:33:09 My name is Zoe, asshole.
00:33:14 [door opens]
00:33:16 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.
00:33:44 Call me Christian. I mean, Claire talks so much about you, I feel like I already know you.
00:33:47 Yeah? Cool.
00:33:51 Claire, a word?
00:33:54 Excuse us.
00:33:58 No kicks for him.
00:34:02 You married Prince and Prom?
00:34:07 Don't freak out. It's too late.
00:34:09 Christian Cross is your husband.
00:34:12 I know. Claire, this is like next, next level.
00:34:15 Dylan is gonna shit himself.
00:34:17 You couldn't ask for sweeter revenge than dumping that shriveled little worm and scoring.
00:34:22 The richest, baddest, sexiest dude in this whole fricking planet.
00:34:27 Zoe, we can't tell anyone yet.
00:34:30 Swear you won't say anything.
00:34:32 I swear.
00:34:34 This is going to be epic!
00:34:36 Oh my gosh, look at this cute guy.
00:34:38 I love him. I love him.
00:34:40 Dylan, what are you doing here?
00:34:45 I need to talk to you.
00:34:47 Doc, have you figured out what's wrong with her stomach?
00:34:50 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,
00:35:15 you will need to come back and get another transfusion.
00:35:18 Do not wait until you faint this time, Ms. Bennett.
00:35:20 Thanks, doctor.
00:35:21 You're welcome.
00:35:22 Okay, Ms. Bennett.
00:35:23 Mr. Maxwell.
00:35:31 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:35:34 I can't believe this.
00:35:36 You're pregnant?
00:35:38 Why wouldn't you tell me about this before?
00:35:40 This is a fucking disaster.
00:35:42 How can you have a bun in the oven and walk on a runway? Huh?
00:35:47 You know what the press finds out?
00:35:49 We're fucked.
00:35:50 They will tear us to shreds.
00:35:52 There is no coming back from this.
00:35:54 Do you understand what you've done?
00:35:56 If Claire finds out about this, she won't marry me.
00:35:58 I've lost everything.
00:36:00 How dare you?
00:36:01 I am so sick and tired of hearing Claire's name.
00:36:06 You are going to be a father now, Dylan.
00:36:08 How can you just still marry her?
00:36:10 You told me you don't love her anymore.
00:36:12 I don't love her.
00:36:13 Ava, it is-
00:36:14 Then break up with her and marry me!
00:36:16 No, it is not that simple.
00:36:18 Claire is worth billions, or her family is.
00:36:21 She is a Winthrop.
00:36:23 So you're telling me that that skank-leggy 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.
00:36:38 She runs in the same circles as her grandmother.
00:36:41 Just think about it.
00:36:42 If I marry Claire, the only thing that's standing between me and three billion dollars
00:36:48 is an ancient bitch who's about to fall over.
00:36:51 You mean three billion dollars standing between us.
00:36:55 Yes.
00:36:56 Right, Dylan?
00:36:57 Of course, Ava.
00:36:58 But in order for that to work, Claire cannot succeed.
00:37:02 And you have to be at the top of your game and win the competition.
00:37:06 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.
00:37:13 So we can turn this thing around.
00:37:16 You'll win top model at the competition.
00:37:18 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.
00:37:36 Bye bye, Claire bear.
00:37:38 Bye.
00:37:39 Well, after careful consideration, Latour has chosen Claire Duval as the new face of our true love collection.
00:37:52 I'm deeply honored by Miss Latour's faith in me.
00:37:58 And I look forward to representing such a prestigious global brand.
00:38:02 Miss Latour, a little birdie told me that Ava B's contract was terminated using a morality clause.
00:38:09 Well, after the whole bathroom gate scandal, can you blame me?
00:38:14 But Miss Duval's not without her own controversy.
00:38:17 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're asking me to bet on an unproven model with a dubious past.
00:38:31 I could tell you how brilliant she is or how lucky you'd be to have her.
00:38:37 But I'm not going to try to persuade you, Vince. Time will do that.
00:38:43 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.
00:38:55 Well, you know, when I decided to expand from a single shop on Jewelers Row to an international brand with shops on seven continents,
00:39:08 someone took a chance on me. 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.
00:39:21 When I asked you to move in, I never pictured you in the kitchen. It's quite a sight.
00:39:32 You're not supposed to be home for another hour. I was going to clean up.
00:39:35 Where's the stuff?
00:39:37 I gave them the night off so we could celebrate my gig.
00:39:40 Okay, what did you roll about?
00:39:42 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.
00:39:58 But it's not great.
00:40:00 Okay, take out it is.
00:40:02 Burst.
00:40:04 Burst.
00:40:05 I always wondered what it would be like to come home to someone at the end of the night.
00:40:33 And?
00:40:34 And?
00:40:36 I'm sorry.
00:40:37 Just you and me tonight.
00:40:39 There's nowhere I'd rather be.
00:40:43 Baby, it feels so right.
00:40:46 So, wrap your arms around me and hold me tight.
00:40:53 I'm loving this feeling.
00:40:58 It feels so right.
00:41:05 Take me away.
00:41:08 So, wrap your arms around me and hold me tight.
00:41:14 I'm loving this feeling.
00:41:19 It feels so right.
00:41:22 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 [doorbell rings]
00:41:35 [door slams]
00:41:37 [laughs]
00:41:47 [music]
00:42:10 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.
00:42:27 There were quite a few rapes.
00:42:29 More than a few duels.
00:42:31 Why, sir, how scandalous.
00:42:34 I'm most assuredly intrigued.
00:42:36 A lot of them died really young.
00:42:38 Out of nowhere.
00:42:40 The Crosses were literally dying off.
00:42:43 So, a codicil was added that required all Cross men to be married by the time they were 30,
00:42:49 or they'd lose their inheritance.
00:42:51 Seriously?
00:42:52 Seriously.
00:42:53 I turned 30.
00:42:55 On that day.
00:42:58 That was your birthday.
00:43:00 You didn't even celebrate.
00:43:03 Yes, I did.
00:43:05 You came home with me.
00:43:08 [music]
00:43:33 Christian!
00:43:35 My dear, how is your evening going so far?
00:43:39 Yeah, good so far. Thank you for inviting me.
00:43:41 Of course. And your ventures?
00:43:44 Tell me about your most recent acquisition.
00:43:46 A Silicon Valley startup with a promising artificial intelligence.
00:43:50 Hmm.
00:43:51 I think it could be a game changer.
00:43:53 Speaking of change, have you found anyone special?
00:43:56 Not yet. I'm still searching.
00:43:59 Well, then you must meet my granddaughter, Claire.
00:44:04 There she is.
00:44:06 [heartbeat]
00:44:11 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.
00:44:27 [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]
00:44:54 [music]
00:44:59 Hey.
00:45:00 You're so beautiful.
00:45:02 [music]
00:45:04 Hey, stop.
00:45:06 [music]
00:45:09 Isn't it real for me?
00:45:11 Promise we'll never forget that.
00:45:14 I promise.
00:45:16 [music]
00:45:24 [music]
00:45:34 My meeting's 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?
00:45:50 I mean spectacular. Because you are spectacular.
00:45:54 Okay?
00:45:56 [music]
00:46:11 A private plane, a limousine to the shoot, and a hunky mogul waiting for you afterward?
00:46:16 Sign me up.
00:46:18 In the last five years, I've had such bad luck.
00:46:20 But since Christian came into my life, I think my luck has finally changed.
00:46:25 [music]
00:46:31 No one deserves it more than you do, Claire.
00:46:33 Now let's get in there and blow them all away.
00:46:36 [music]
00:46:45 I'm with you today.
00:46:48 Claire's my girl. I've got this.
00:46:50 I think, Miss Bauer, that we got off on the wrong foot.
00:46:54 I think you're an excellent manager.
00:46:56 And under normal circumstances, Miss Duval will be in great hands.
00:47:00 But?
00:47:02 There are dark forces at play.
00:47:04 Claire's going to need all the help she can get.
00:47:07 Truce?
00:47:09 For Claire.
00:47:11 Truce.
00:47:14 Um, Claire, this is a first date.
00:47:18 You're so nervous, oui?
00:47:21 Because he may be the one, no?
00:47:24 So, what necklace do you wear?
00:47:26 Come, c'est vous, Claire?
00:47:28 That one?
00:47:30 [music]
00:47:34 Oh, incredible. Oui, oui.
00:47:37 Oh, yes.
00:47:39 Your eyes have so much hope and dream.
00:47:42 [music]
00:47:45 Oui.
00:47:47 Claire, come, rest.
00:47:49 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.
00:47:56 It is tragic. We never worked together before.
00:47:59 Let's deal.
00:48:01 Okay, you rest.
00:48:03 [music]
00:48:06 It's happening. It's finally happening.
00:48:09 [music]
00:48:11 Dylan, you scared me. What are you doing here?
00:48:13 Last time that I checked, we were still engaged.
00:48:16 So, I have every right to see my fiancé?
00:48:19 Yeah, well, you lost that right when you slept with Ava.
00:48:22 No, that was a one-time thing.
00:48:25 And it didn't mean anything at all.
00:48:27 But we could have moved past it if you would have just returned my calls.
00:48:31 Come on.
00:48:33 Don't be like this to me.
00:48:35 Not after everything I've done for you.
00:48:37 Done for me?
00:48:39 You weren't just a crappy boyfriend, Dylan.
00:48:42 You were a crappy agent, too.
00:48:44 I don't know how you tricked Latour into giving you this gig,
00:48:47 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 All right, you're coming home with me right now.
00:48:57 We'll get married in Vegas on our way back.
00:49:00 No. We're over.
00:49:03 We've been over for a long time, Dylan.
00:49:06 We've been over for a long time.
00:49:09 Leave.
00:49:11 [ gasps ]
00:49:13 You're hurting me.
00:49:15 I haven't even begun to hurt you.
00:49:17 You know, my biggest mistake was being too gentle with you.
00:49:20 You know that male model that's supposed to show up today?
00:49:23 He's not coming.
00:49:25 Your biggest break is about to be your worst nightmare.
00:49:29 Nobody will show up for you after your little drama today
00:49:33 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 Never come!
00:49:43 Hey, you need to leave now.
00:49:45 I'm going.
00:49:48 I'll see you soon, Claire Bear.
00:49:51 Are you okay?
00:49:54 No.
00:49:56 Dylan canceled the male model.
00:49:58 No one's coming.
00:50:00 When Latour finds out, I'm ruined.
00:50:05 There's still time to fix this.
00:50:07 You thinking what I'm thinking?
00:50:09 Hey.
00:50:15 How quick can you get to the studio?
00:50:18 Year one foot traffic, what are we projecting?
00:50:20 15 million, conservatively.
00:50:22 And if we surpass that?
00:50:24 A 10% balance is currently straight up.
00:50:28 [Pencil scratching]
00:50:30 Let's make history together.
00:50:37 [Phone buzzing]
00:50:40 Excuse me.
00:50:42 How quick can you get to the studio?
00:50:44 [Car driving by]
00:50:46 Hello, Vincent. This is catastrophe.
00:50:49 My time, it does not extend eternal.
00:50:52 Where is the lover to complete the true love piece de resistance?
00:50:57 Annie, I know, I am sorry.
00:51:00 We are scrambling to find somebody, but nothing is looking good.
00:51:04 This Claire Duval, I am telling you,
00:51:06 disaster just follows this chick wherever she goes.
00:51:12 [Music]
00:51:15 Crisis averted.
00:51:26 The lover is here.
00:51:29 And we'll do what a lover he is.
00:51:33 Thank you for doing this.
00:51:36 He touch you?
00:51:38 Maxwell will pay for this.
00:51:40 He touches my wife.
00:51:42 Quick, quick, get the lover in costume.
00:51:48 Please.
00:51:50 Excuse me, Ms. Adler.
00:51:54 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.
00:52:08 The height of love romance.
00:52:11 Voila, there he is, Claire.
00:52:13 Down on one knee, ring in hand, a question in his eyes.
00:52:17 And you, your heart says, "Me."
00:52:24 Before he lips, this is the dream come true.
00:52:28 True romance.
00:52:30 Nice.
00:52:33 [Music]
00:52:36 Christian Cross.
00:52:45 I'll be damned.
00:52:47 The bond, it has a much deeper way.
00:52:53 No matter what life threw at you, it cannot tear you apart.
00:52:59 Huh?
00:53:01 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.
00:53:17 Hey, fans. Reggie here.
00:53:22 So, buckle up, because this week, oh boy, oh boy,
00:53:25 we have the drama for the Battle Royale of the Supermodels.
00:53:28 First up, let's look at the creme de la creme of the nominees.
00:53:31 Of course, top of the list is our reigning queen, Ava B.
00:53:35 But hold up, girlfriend, because guess what?
00:53:38 We have a stunning newcomer in Claire D.
00:53:41 And we all know how she's skyrocketed to fame.
00:53:44 Of course, by what? Drum roll, please.
00:53:47 Yep, that's right.
00:53:49 The Latour True Love Campaign,
00:53:51 shot by the one and only AnaĂŻs Adler.
00:53:54 Claire D. I'm 35 years younger.
00:53:58 I don't know what.
00:54:00 Except for the essence in her eyes,
00:54:03 she's beautiful.
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.
00:54:13 And the chemistry in this shoot, oh my God,
00:54:17 was off, off, off, off the chain.
00:54:20 And who on earth is this stunning, faceless model
00:54:24 with that sexy back?
00:54:26 Ooh, yum, yum, yum, yum.
00:54:28 I need more, I want more. I need so much more.
00:54:31 I have literally been emailing Mr. Vincent Latour daily,
00:54:35 trying to get the big reveal.
00:54:37 Dear Mr. Vincent Latour,
00:54:39 hear he, hear he.
00:54:41 You are the worst. I cannot stand you.
00:54:43 And you are killing me with the suspense.
00:54:45 Sincerely, Reginald.
00:54:47 You know, the couple embodies the timeless quality of true love,
00:54:50 and we are honored and proud of the positive feedback
00:54:54 that this campaign has generated.
00:54:56 Now, of course, we all know
00:54:58 Mr. Vince Latour is gonna make so much mucho dinero
00:55:01 off this campaign.
00:55:03 But friends, fans,
00:55:05 we are only one week away from the Battle Royale,
00:55:09 the Top Model Competition.
00:55:11 And guess what? Mr. Vince Latour is gonna be a judge.
00:55:14 So I might just have to flutter on over to him
00:55:17 and ask him in person who this sexy back is.
00:55:20 Because guess what, fans?
00:55:22 That's right.
00:55:24 George Truly has been tapped
00:55:27 by the network to host the Top Model Competition!
00:55:30 (cheers and applause)
00:55:31 Oh, my God.
00:55:33 Oh, you like me? You really do like me?
00:55:35 You really like me?
00:55:37 (whispering)
00:55:39 Yes, you do.
00:55:41 (soft music)
00:55:44 Who the fuck is this guy?
00:55:46 I did everything in my power to make sure
00:55:48 the male model would not show up so Claire would follow her face.
00:55:51 She always just lands on her feet.
00:55:53 Looks like she's landing more than just on her feet.
00:55:59 On a kitchen counter.
00:56:01 In a hallway.
00:56:03 On the stairs.
00:56:05 Against a shower wall.
00:56:07 Ava, get your mind out the gutter.
00:56:09 That's not what you were telling me last night.
00:56:11 We're talking about Claire here.
00:56:13 She's not like you.
00:56:15 Okay.
00:56:17 Claire, she's such a saint, huh?
00:56:20 The Vestal Virgin.
00:56:22 If she's so special,
00:56:24 then why didn't you knock her up instead?
00:56:26 Oh, wait. I know why.
00:56:28 Because Claire didn't like you that much.
00:56:31 And now that she's with a guy that she actually likes,
00:56:34 you can't handle it, can you?
00:56:37 I don't think so.
00:56:40 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
00:56:46 that Claire doesn't win top model from inside the competition.
00:56:49 Don't get too full of yourself, Ava.
00:56:51 You're not the only one.
00:56:53 Who else do you have in your pocket?
00:56:55 What aren't you telling me?
00:56:57 Just stick to your plan to sabotage Claire.
00:57:00 I'll handle mine.
00:57:02 Fine. You keep your secrets,
00:57:04 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.
00:57:20 Hey, no peeking.
00:57:25 Just like a little kid.
00:57:27 All right, it's a surprise.
00:57:29 Just a few more steps.
00:57:31 A few more steps?
00:57:33 Shouldn't you be swamped with work?
00:57:35 We can wait. You are my priority.
00:57:38 You need the perfect armor for combat.
00:57:51 That's such a guy thing to say.
00:57:53 It's a modeling competition, not war.
00:57:56 Make no mistake, Claire. It is war.
00:57:59 I'll be there for you.
00:58:01 Oh, did I forget to mention Pinnacle
00:58:04 is the network televising the event?
00:58:06 You definitely did not mention that, no.
00:58:09 I'm her wife, Claire.
00:58:11 I wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:58:13 You should choose your words more carefully.
00:58:28 I don't take well to threats.
00:58:30 Well, you should have thought about that
00:58:32 before you failed so miserably.
00:58:35 Let's not forget,
00:58:37 I own you.
00:58:39 I'll admit, Claire being nominated to top model
00:58:43 does put an unexpected wrinkle in our--
00:58:46 Wrinkle?
00:58:47 You were supposed to end this modeling nonsense,
00:58:50 not launch her into the stratosphere.
00:58:52 Your granddaughter hasn't won yet.
00:58:55 And if you play your part,
00:58:59 Claire will walk down that runway
00:59:03 and crash and burn.
00:59:06 Start talking.
00:59:09 Here's what we do.
00:59:11 I cannot wait to knock off that old battle axe.
00:59:22 Hmm. Oh, fall in the shower.
00:59:26 A mix of medication--
00:59:28 All right, focus, Dylan.
00:59:30 That will happen after you marry Claire.
00:59:34 Now 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.
00:59:49 Grace Winthrop has controlled that family for 50 years.
00:59:55 No one has even stood up to her,
00:59:58 except Claire.
01:00:00 She doesn't just want Claire back in the fold.
01:00:03 She wants Claire under her thumb.
01:00:07 [laughs]
01:00:09 Just hold tight, Gab,
01:00:13 and I'll let you know after I speak with Claire.
01:00:18 Morning, hubby.
01:00:20 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.
01:00:32 Really an easy way to say this, Claire.
01:00:34 Your grandmother's gonna be one of the judges.
01:00:37 What? That's not possible.
01:00:40 She would never-- There's been a mistake.
01:00:42 She despises modeling. She hates that I became one.
01:00:46 Why would she do this?
01:00:48 My own grandmother is gonna vote against me.
01:01:01 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.
01:01:12 What do they have to do with this?
01:01:14 Two years ago, Maxwell Holdings was on the verge of bankruptcy
01:01:17 from a series of bad investments and poorly timed expansions.
01:01:21 Muse and all of its subsidiaries were on the chopping block.
01:01:25 Then they received an influx of cash from a new, silent partner.
01:01:30 Winthrop Limited?
01:01:31 Yes.
01:01:32 It terms the deal that Dylan and Miranda
01:01:35 were to do everything in their power to derail the future of a promising young model.
01:01:40 You, Claire.
01:01:44 So all the rumors that I was on drugs, incompetent, unstable--
01:01:49 My own grandmother was behind all of it.
01:01:52 Yeah, but you were more stubborn than they calculated.
01:01:54 You never gave up, Claire.
01:01:56 I saw her manage everyone in my family.
01:01:59 My own parents were like sycophantic puppets in her grasp.
01:02:03 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.
01:02:18 I mean, she's tried to marry me off before.
01:02:21 Then you must meet my granddaughter, Claire.
01:02:25 There she is.
01:02:27 Okay, about that.
01:02:34 About that.
01:02:36 As if I'd marry someone she chose.
01:02:40 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.
01:02:52 That is Miranda Maxwell written all over it.
01:02:55 Your grandmother never technically disinherited you.
01:02:58 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.
01:03:13 Not because the deck is stacked against me.
01:03:16 Your grandmother's just one judge.
01:03:19 There are three others.
01:03:21 Hey, sexy.
01:03:29 [music]
01:03:31 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?
01:03:50 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.
01:04:15 Miss Vaughn has a big night ahead of her. Thank you.
01:04:17 Claire, one more.
01:04:18 How do you know Christian Grant?
01:04:20 I think I'm going to be sick.
01:04:25 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 Do you want water or something?
01:04:34 Yes, thank you.
01:04:35 Just try to relax.
01:04:39 Check and see if anyone's inside, Simon.
01:04:52 I'll go then.
01:04:53 Alright, post 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.
01:05:11 Gross. Yuck. Not again.
01:05:16 Ava. Ava, you saucy minx. You're killing me.
01:05:21 Show me sexy.
01:05:22 That belly of yours. Oh, so yummy.
01:05:26 That's my baby. Come to papa.
01:05:28 Holy shit! No freaking way!
01:05:31 Hey, Christian.
01:05:50 You will not believe what Ava's been up to.
01:05:52 I'm listening.
01:05:54 Not now. I don't want to distract Claire, but quite a bombshell.
01:06:00 Can barely contain my excitement.
01:06:03 Where are you sitting?
01:06:06 Behind the judges. First row.
01:06:09 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 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 23rd Top Model Competition,
01:06:35 powered by AliExpress, where fashion meets savvy budget.
01:06:40 Find the perfect outfit for you and your unique self.
01:06:45 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 Blackwell of Blackwell Modeling Town.
01:07:12 Our third judge is Kiko Watanabe, actress extraordinaire under the
01:07:16 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.
01:07:26 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.
01:07:40 [music]
01:07:42 Suck it in, Mama! We're almost there!
01:07:52 Sit back, Felix! Tighter!
01:07:54 A masterpiece.
01:07:57 Not yet. We have other plans tonight, remember?
01:08:06 You can leave it to me, Your Highness. Your baby's got you.
01:08:10 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 No.
01:08:35 May the best bitch win, bitch.
01:08:37 Don't listen to her.
01:08:41 Next up is Ava Bennett, our reigning top contestant for the past three years.
01:08:48 She slays harder than Santa, so watch out for those reindeer.
01:08:51 [music]
01:08:54 [music]
01:08:57 [music]
01:09:25 Break a leg, Claire Bear.
01:09:27 Move!
01:09:29 Idiot.
01:09:30 Next up is Claire Duval, whose meteoric rise in the industry has caught everyone off guard.
01:09:35 Including me.
01:09:37 Next up is Claire Duval, whose meteoric rise in the industry has caught everyone off guard.
01:09:44 [music]
01:09:47 [music]
01:09:49 [gasp]
01:09:57 [laugh]
01:10:07 [music]
01:10:09 Come on, my love. Rise up and show them who you are.
01:10:25 [music]
01:10:32 [music]
01:10:34 Your girl's career imploded before it even took off.
01:10:41 But you're making a fool of yourself.
01:10:43 The days of pretending to be a model, they're over, Claire.
01:10:47 Ava is our top billing model.
01:10:49 And you, Claire, it never really took off.
01:10:54 You've lost everything.
01:10:56 And you just don't know it yet.
01:10:59 [music]
01:11:01 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.
01:11:10 I will forge my own path and make my own name.

01:12:27 Get off me!
01:12:30 I'll catch you.
01:12:33 [applause]
01:12:37 Way to go, Claire. You slay god.
01:12:40 [applause]
01:12:42 [ding]
01:12:52 And now the moment you've all been waiting for.
01:12:59 Oh my god.
01:13:03 Folks, we just had a glitch in the Matrix.
01:13:05 Something that has never happened in the 23 years of top model competition.
01:13:09 A tie between Ava Bennett and Claire Duvall.
01:13:12 [music]
01:13:14 What? Seriously?
01:13:22 Clearly, Rator has something going on with Claire.
01:13:25 Really, Ava?
01:13:27 Because last I checked, you and Judge Simon Blackwell have been getting a little too cozy and...
01:13:32 Whoops! There's a mini Blackwell on the way.
01:13:35 Yep, she's expecting his baby.
01:13:38 His baby? No, that's my baby.
01:13:41 Easy. Relax, man. Relax. Relax.
01:13:46 Get a grip, both of you.
01:13:51 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:13:53 Let's not turn this into a daytime drama, okay, people?
01:13:55 We are here to crown a winner, which means we need a decisive vote.
01:13:59 Top model competition rules state that in the event of a tie,
01:14:02 we will have an independent third party determine who has won.
01:14:06 So, we are now bringing out the big guns.
01:14:08 Christian Cross, CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment, you're up, sir.
01:14:12 Mr. Cross, we'll now cast the tie-breaking vote.
01:14:25 So, who will be the 23rd winner of the top model competition?
01:14:30 There's only one person who embodies the grace, character, and beauty of a top model.
01:14:42 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.
01:15:00 She's also my wife. Claire Duval Cross.
01:15:06 Seriously? This is so unfair. Of course she gets him, and all I have is...
01:15:23 [music]
01:15:25 She was sleeping with him while she was with me. How dare she?
01:15:36 Clue in, Dylan. We need to do damage control.
01:15:39 Grace Winthrop could pull our whole loan after this. We could lose everything.
01:15:43 Detective, these two right here.
01:15:45 What?
01:15:46 Miranda Maxwell, Dylan Maxwell, you're both under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder.
01:15:50 No, this is a mistake.
01:15:52 Get your hands off me!
01:15:54 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. Look, that day outside the courthouse, that wasn't a setup.
01:16:50 Then why hide the connection to my grandmother? Why the lies?
01:16:53 Because I knew how bad it looked, especially after Maxwell tried to use you.
01:16:57 How can I believe you?
01:16:59 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 model come on stage like you did up there.
01:17:10 For a nobody.
01:17:12 You're not a nobody. Nobody took 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 we'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 would wash my hands of both of you.
01:18:10 You ready to meet my family?
01:18:23 Hey fans, Reggie here. Big love to Bruno Lundy who is recovering from his coma.
01:18:31 This is nuts! Bruno just got out of his coma! How can he remember his name? He can't even remember mine!
01:18:38 Shut up, Dylan. Shut up, Dylan. Shut up, Dylan! I want my lawyer! Now!
01:18:44 Meanwhile, Ava Vee has quit modeling to focus on becoming a full-time mother.
01:18:50 Yeah, couldn't even say that with a straight face. We all know what she's doing for money, don't we?
01:18:54 Shut up, Katie!
01:18:58 Now, let's get to the real big news. The crosses are expected!
01:19:04 That's right, you heard it here first. Claire D and Christian Cross are expecting a little mini cross! I'm so excited!
01:19:16 So, you can expect it to be epic! Be sure to subscribe and tune in to Real Shorts, of course, with Reggie here, so you can catch all the drama, all the tea, and all the supermodels saluting.
01:19:29 Bye!
