00:00:00Bella?
00:00:04Bella!
00:00:05Where did she go?
00:00:07The gardener says Miss Bella's not on the grounds.
00:00:09She's disappeared again.
00:00:11We'll tell the design team to go big or go home.
00:00:14We're not building some quaint bed and breakfast.
00:00:17This is a billion dollar Barlow resort on a private island off Dubai.
00:00:21We need to crush this.
00:00:23Crush! Crush! Crush!
00:00:26Steve, I have to call you back.
00:00:30How did you get in here, Bella?
00:00:32My little escape artist.
00:00:38What am I going to tell Mr. Barlow?
00:00:40Pulse alarm. She's here, everyone.
00:00:46Thank God!
00:00:48I only took my eyes off her for a second.
00:00:50She needs a leash.
00:00:52I'm not a dog.
00:00:53No, a dog behaves better.
00:00:56Daddy.
00:00:57Okay, everyone, let's get back to it.
00:00:59These decorations aren't going to put themselves up.
00:01:01Miss Delaney, I'm sorry.
00:01:03I will be hiring a new nanny soon.
00:01:05Well, how long do you think this is going to last?
00:01:07She's scared off three in a year.
00:01:10I don't want a nanny. I want a mommy.
00:01:24I'm not ever leaving.
00:01:25Can you see? It's a circus out there.
00:01:27Like a literal freaking circus.
00:01:28Oh, my God, there's jugglers, there's clowns.
00:01:30There's even a man on stilts.
00:01:31Can you imagine having a birthday like this
00:01:32when you were just eight years old?
00:01:34Foster kid here.
00:01:35I used to blow out imaginary candles
00:01:36and dream of real cake.
00:01:41This is my favorite part.
00:01:45Somebody's a little too in touch with their inner child.
00:01:49When your mother proposes blind date,
00:01:51I was a little hesitant.
00:01:53I just couldn't believe that any man
00:01:56could move up to the image that she painted.
00:01:58Yeah, she's very good at talking me up.
00:02:00In your case, she really didn't do you justice.
00:02:05I'd love to slip away from the crowd
00:02:07and get to know you better.
00:02:09You're at my eight-year-old's birthday party.
00:02:11I wasn't interested before, but now I want you to leave.
00:02:18Wait for it.
00:02:23Why, hello, Mother.
00:02:24Julian, Bianca is hysterical,
00:02:27and you have embarrassed me.
00:02:29Well, stop setting me up with random women.
00:02:31I'm not getting married again.
00:02:32Once was enough.
00:02:33Kendra and the race car driver have ended it.
00:02:36Right now, you have sole custody of Bella.
00:02:39But the courts favor the mother, Julian.
00:02:41You and I both know Kendra could show up at any time
00:02:44and demand that Bella live with her just to spite you.
00:02:48I'm not letting that witch anywhere near my daughter.
00:02:51Find yourself a wife
00:02:53and show the world a stable family.
00:02:55Not for your own happiness, but for your child's.
00:03:03Mother might be dramatic,
00:03:04but she's right about Bella needing a mom.
00:03:07Perhaps a fake wife would do.
00:03:11Got vanilla for you.
00:03:14What's your favorite flavor?
00:03:16Chocolate.
00:03:18So, do you want to know what makes everything taste so good?
00:03:22The secret ingredient is...
00:03:27love.
00:03:38Girl, I'm so exhausted. I'm heading home. You coming?
00:03:40I'm going to stay and finish the engagement cake for tomorrow.
00:03:42Okay.
00:03:45Hey, Bernie.
00:03:46Let me grab you the day holds.
00:03:54Tell Rose and Pete I included the pecan cinnamon rolls just for them.
00:04:09Oh, my gosh. You scared me.
00:04:12Where did you come from, sweetheart?
00:04:14Where are your parents?
00:04:16Are you lost?
00:04:18What's your name?
00:04:20I'm Everly.
00:04:22You don't want to tell me, huh?
00:04:26Guess I'll just have to guess.
00:04:28Your name is Olga.
00:04:32Bertrand.
00:04:34Ew.
00:04:35Prudence.
00:04:36Hazel.
00:04:37Constance.
00:04:38Phyllis.
00:04:39Henrietta.
00:04:41Bertha.
00:04:42It's Bella!
00:04:45The birthday girl.
00:04:46She must have stowed away in the truck.
00:04:48Bella!
00:04:55You scared me, Bella Barlow.
00:04:58Sorry, Daddy.
00:05:00What were you thinking?
00:05:01I found my mommy!
00:05:06I'm so sorry. She's never done anything like this.
00:05:09I want Everly to be my mommy.
00:05:12Bella Munchkin, please.
00:05:14You know, my daddy has lots of money.
00:05:17All you have to do is marry him and be my mommy.
00:05:21Bella, you don't marry someone for money.
00:05:24You do it because you love them so much.
00:05:26And it feels like they're a part of you.
00:05:29Like you can't picture your life without them in it.
00:05:33I know you're supposed to be my mommy.
00:05:36I'm engaged to someone else.
00:05:39Come on, Bella.
00:05:41We've taken up enough of Miss Harper's time.
00:05:52So a hot guy and a cute little girl were like,
00:05:54come be my insta-family?
00:05:55The little girl was.
00:05:56The dad was kind of mortified.
00:05:58Bella reminds me of what I was like after the car accident.
00:06:01Kept going up to perfect strangers,
00:06:03looking for more money.
00:06:04Kept going up to perfect strangers, looking for my parents.
00:06:07Just couldn't accept that they were gone.
00:06:14Hey, beautiful. I miss you already.
00:06:16When are you back from your business trip?
00:06:18I'm back Monday. We'll see each other then.
00:06:21Are you calling me from the bathroom?
00:06:24No, the guests next door are just really loud.
00:06:27I gotta go. I love you.
00:06:34Hello, Earth to Everly.
00:06:37I was just thinking about what I told the little girl.
00:06:40All the reasons you marry someone,
00:06:42but I've never actually felt any of those things.
00:06:45Well, you better decide sooner rather than later.
00:06:47Well, Nolan and I have been together since high school.
00:06:50Loyalty counts for something.
00:06:52At least what we have is real.
00:07:00Okay, this hotel is huge.
00:07:02Is the engagement party being held?
00:07:04Uh, restaurant.
00:07:06There he is.
00:07:11I'm bored.
00:07:12I'm sorry, Munchkin, but after yesterday,
00:07:14I'm not letting you out of my sight.
00:07:16Bella was bad.
00:07:17Bella was very bad.
00:07:19But I'll take you to get ice cream if you're very good.
00:07:24I want cupcake.
00:07:26Nice try, kiddo.
00:07:32Okay.
00:07:47That must be the bride-to-be.
00:07:49Hey, delivery for the lovely bride.
00:07:51Can I just get your signature on this really quick?
00:07:58Oh, my gosh.
00:08:00Everly?
00:08:02Well, you haven't changed a bit since high school, huh?
00:08:06Still a pathetic orphan with no money?
00:08:09Or taste?
00:08:11Olivia, this is your engagement party?
00:08:14Who would marry a raging bully like you?
00:08:17Everly, what are you doing here?
00:08:23Nolan, I...
00:08:25I don't understand.
00:08:27Isn't it obvious, you ignorant nobody?
00:08:31Nolan's been cheating on you.
00:08:34With me.
00:08:42Is it true, Nolan?
00:08:44I can explain.
00:08:45Is it true?
00:08:47You've been sleeping with Olivia?
00:08:50You saw how she treated me.
00:08:52She made my high school life a living hell.
00:08:54You hate her just as much as I do.
00:08:57Well, if that's hate sex,
00:08:59then sign me up for a lifetime of it.
00:09:03Nolan's a sexy beast, aren't you, darling?
00:09:06Oh, but you wouldn't know about that, Everly.
00:09:09Being the pity fuck that you are.
00:09:12You set this whole thing up, didn't you, Olivia?
00:09:15Did you think you could date both of us?
00:09:17Marry both of us?
00:09:19No.
00:09:21Nolan, you have to choose.
00:09:24You can be with me and live the good life,
00:09:26or you can be with this dirty orphan
00:09:31who will always be poor,
00:09:33pathetic white trash her entire life
00:09:37and who will drag you down with her.
00:09:43I'm sorry.
00:09:45I'm sorry, Everly. I just... I can't be poor.
00:09:48I can't.
00:09:50I'm so sorry.
00:09:53I'm so sorry.
00:10:01This isn't happening.
00:10:03I'm in some kind of post-high school nightmare
00:10:05where the mean girl still wins.
00:10:11I don't like her. She's mean.
00:10:13Hello, where did you come from?
00:10:16Is she an evil witch?
00:10:18You little shit.
00:10:19Who the hell let this wretched brat in here?
00:10:21Watch your mouth, Olivia.
00:10:23You can't talk to her like that.
00:10:25I can say whatever the hell I want.
00:10:29And both of you, get out.
00:10:31And take this disgusting cake with you.
00:10:33It's garbage, just like you.
00:10:39What are you, crazy? You could have hurt her.
00:10:41Too bad I missed.
00:10:45Oh, my goodness.
00:10:47Get off me.
00:10:51Choke on it, bitch.
00:10:57I'm gonna destroy you.
00:10:59Good luck with that.
00:11:01You already tried in high school,
00:11:03but I'm stronger now.
00:11:05Keep Nolan with my blessing.
00:11:07Nolan, do something.
00:11:09Everly?
00:11:11Take it off her.
00:11:17Touch my kid and you're dead.
00:11:19Who the hell are you?
00:11:21I'm with her.
00:11:23Since when?
00:11:25That's none of your business.
00:11:27Ooh, hold still.
00:11:29You have some frost in there.
00:11:33Stop, don't.
00:11:35That's Julian Barlow,
00:11:37heir of Barlow Hotels and Resorts.
00:11:39He owns this very hotel.
00:11:41You're lucky I don't sue you both
00:11:43for attempting to assault a minor.
00:11:45I didn't know it was your kid.
00:11:47You think a poor girl hurting her is okay?
00:11:49This party's over.
00:11:51You two are banned for life
00:11:53from every Barlow property in the world.
00:11:55So this is what having someone
00:11:57stand up for you feels like?
00:12:03They were bad, Daddy.
00:12:05There's a lot of bad people out there.
00:12:07That's why you can't run off the way you did.
00:12:09But I thought I really wanted to be with her.
00:12:13You need some rest.
00:12:15I love you, Andrew.
00:12:21Thank you for protecting my daughter.
00:12:23Thank you for saving me
00:12:25from my cheating ex-fiancé.
00:12:31That sounds like
00:12:33a desperate man trying to win you back.
00:12:35Yeah.
00:12:37Not happening.
00:12:39Seems we have a problem, Miss Harper.
00:12:41My daughter's heart is set on you being her mother.
00:12:47You also have a problem
00:12:49with your ex not getting the message.
00:12:51I propose
00:12:53a pretend relationship.
00:12:55Like a fake marriage?
00:12:57Exactly.
00:12:59I can protect you from your ex-fiancé,
00:13:01and you can help me protect Bella
00:13:03from herself and my ex,
00:13:05if she comes back.
00:13:07Is your ex really that bad?
00:13:09Kendra makes your high school nemesis
00:13:11look like a teddy bear.
00:13:13Do we have a deal?
00:13:15What if you want to be with someone for real?
00:13:17I won't.
00:13:19I've sworn I'm not gonna get married again.
00:13:29Yes, Mr. Barlow.
00:13:31We have a deal.
00:13:37Tomorrow night is the annual
00:13:39charity gala.
00:13:41Black Tie.
00:13:43There we'll introduce you to society.
00:13:45Well,
00:13:47why don't we start out slow?
00:13:49You know, my mother will know
00:13:51if we don't show up as newlyweds.
00:13:53Didn't you say she lives in Paris?
00:13:55She has spies everywhere.
00:13:57Did you go to the gala with me?
00:13:59No.
00:14:01I didn't.
00:14:03I'm sorry.
00:14:05Did you go to the gala with me?
00:14:07I don't know, Julian.
00:14:09I'm more flower
00:14:11than flair.
00:14:13We have
00:14:15a boutique at the hotel.
00:14:17I think the right dress
00:14:19will ease some of your stress.
00:14:21I'm still super
00:14:23uncomfortable with all this.
00:14:25I don't want to embarrass you
00:14:27at the gala.
00:14:29Are you always going to be this touchy about my money?
00:14:31Most women can't wait to spend it.
00:14:33I'm a baker, not a socialite.
00:14:35You've been
00:14:37hanging out with the wrong crowd.
00:14:41Maybe I have.
00:14:43Do you mind?
00:14:45My mother will want a picture of the newlyweds.
00:14:57One other thing.
00:14:59Don't fall for me.
00:15:03Same goes for you.
00:15:17Well, hello, Mother.
00:15:19You're married?
00:15:21Who is this girl?
00:15:23Her name is Everly Harper.
00:15:25She's a sous-chef, cordon bleu trained,
00:15:27but she calls herself a baker.
00:15:29Ridiculous.
00:15:31Well, her parents died when she was six,
00:15:33and
00:15:35since then, she's had no relatives.
00:15:37She became a ward of the state
00:15:39and bounced around foster care,
00:15:41never really having a permanent home.
00:15:43So she's an orphan
00:15:45without social connections.
00:15:47What are her financials?
00:15:49Well, she has some student loan debt,
00:15:51and her business is barely making it.
00:15:53Despite that, she's won
00:15:55numerous awards and competitions
00:15:57for her.
00:15:59God, she's dirt poor.
00:16:01You've married a gold digger, Julian.
00:16:03Well, to be honest,
00:16:05my wealth is probably a bad thing
00:16:07in this case. She'd rather me be middle class.
00:16:09Well, then she's a fool.
00:16:11Who wouldn't want a billionaire husband?
00:16:13Well,
00:16:15Bella chose her to be her mother.
00:16:19Well, I'm just upset that my only son
00:16:21didn't inform me he was married.
00:16:23We'll be in touch.
00:16:29That went exactly as expected.
00:16:31Yay!
00:16:33I'm really going to be my new mommy!
00:16:35I should start calling you my little spy.
00:16:37When does she move in?
00:16:39Um,
00:16:41I'm not sure. We haven't had that discussion.
00:16:43And she's going to bake me more magical
00:16:45cookies filled with love.
00:16:47Has she done that before?
00:16:49Well, yes.
00:16:51Soon she'll be here, and she'll bake you
00:16:53many things full of love.
00:16:55Whee! Whee!
00:16:59Wait,
00:17:01you fake
00:17:03Mary and Julie and Barlow?
00:17:05I know, it's insane.
00:17:07Oh my god, you do know that your hubby
00:17:09is worth like a hundred billion dollars, right?
00:17:11Very funny.
00:17:13He didn't.
00:17:15I'm not joking.
00:17:17Whoa, I've never seen that many zeros in one spot.
00:17:19Oh my god,
00:17:21bestie!
00:17:23You're literally married to one of the richest dudes on the planet.
00:17:25Olivia and her totes are totally going to flip out.
00:17:27We have to go to the high school reunion next weekend.
00:17:29I thought you said we were skipping that.
00:17:31Uh-uh, uh-uh, not anymore.
00:17:33We are going.
00:17:35Oh, come on, please, please, please.
00:17:37Think about it.
00:17:39Whee!
00:17:41Why would someone like him even want a pretend marriage?
00:17:43I mean, he's charming,
00:17:45handsome,
00:17:47brilliant, and a good dad.
00:17:49Like, he could easily find a real wife.
00:17:51Maybe he's just avoiding commitment.
00:17:53You know, classic Playboy move.
00:17:55He doesn't strike me as that type.
00:17:57Look at you, playing the little
00:17:59protective wife already.
00:18:01Shut up.
00:18:03So, when does Miss Barlow make her
00:18:05big debut?
00:18:07Tonight, actually.
00:18:09Care to help me find a dress for some exclusive
00:18:11gala?
00:18:13Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
00:18:15This is the most exclusive credit cards of all credit cards.
00:18:17You can buy an island with this thing.
00:18:19I'm going to be sick.
00:18:21I have to find a way to give it back to him.
00:18:23Harper, you will do no such thing.
00:18:25Can you please just be a little selfish
00:18:27for the both of us and live a little?
00:18:29You're
00:18:31right.
00:18:33Let's do this.
00:18:45Okay, I can't do this.
00:18:47$40,000 for a dress is insane.
00:18:49You could pay an entire village for that price.
00:18:51Yeah, crazy world we live in.
00:18:53Hello, ladies. My name is Pilar.
00:18:55Should we try something on?
00:18:57It appears to be your size,
00:18:59but I do have a seamstress on standby.
00:19:01Can I maybe rent it instead?
00:19:03Rent?
00:19:05That'll be $1,000
00:19:07a day, plus a $4,000
00:19:09security deposit.
00:19:11Can you afford that?
00:19:13Oh my goodness,
00:19:15what manual labor job do you do?
00:19:17I'm a baker.
00:19:19Absolutely
00:19:21no rental for you. Those
00:19:23rough worker hands will snag the delicate
00:19:25fabric. There's a thrift store
00:19:27down the way that might be more
00:19:29at your speed. You don't understand.
00:19:31I'm attending the annual Celestial Charity Gala
00:19:33tonight. It's strictly black tie.
00:19:35What are you doing at Celestial,
00:19:37the most exclusive event in town? I know.
00:19:39You must be a waitress
00:19:41handing out caravans.
00:19:43Just buy it then.
00:19:46This
00:19:48is a black card.
00:19:50Obviously.
00:19:52Held up at boutique.
00:19:54Not going too well.
00:19:58Well, well, well.
00:20:00This card belongs to Mr. Barlow.
00:20:02How did it end up in your hands?
00:20:04Mr. Barlow happens
00:20:06to be my best friend's husband.
00:20:08As if.
00:20:10You must have stolen it.
00:20:12Security, arrest these scammers
00:20:14frightened of theft and fraud.
00:20:16Get your hands off of her,
00:20:18you animal.
00:20:20Let us...
00:20:24We're not thieves.
00:20:26You're making a mistake. The card was given
00:20:28to me. We're innocent.
00:20:34Get this trash out of my face.
00:20:38Let them go.
00:20:45Mr. Barlow,
00:20:47you're right on time. Okay, I just caught these
00:20:49scammers trying to charge $5,000
00:20:51to your card. $5,000?
00:20:53When have you ever sold a dress under 30 grand?
00:20:55That was me.
00:20:57I was trying to rent it and said,
00:20:59no dress is worth that much. Are you kidding me?
00:21:01Don't fall for this innocent act.
00:21:03She's a clever scammer.
00:21:05Did you see anything you liked?
00:21:07This one.
00:21:09But we were told to shop at the thrift shop.
00:21:11I'm Samantha, by the way. I've heard
00:21:13so much about you. Pleasure to meet you, Samantha.
00:21:15Flora, my wife was looking
00:21:17to outfit herself for tonight's
00:21:19gala entirely through your boutique.
00:21:21Unfortunately,
00:21:23you cut up our card.
00:21:27So she...
00:21:29She really is your...
00:21:31wife?
00:21:33At Barlow, we believe in treating everyone
00:21:35with respect and dignity.
00:21:37Isn't your lease up in
00:21:3930 days?
00:21:41Mr. Barlow, I am so, so
00:21:43sorry. Okay, Mrs. Barlow, please, um, here.
00:21:45Take the dress. It's on the house.
00:21:47It's not necessary.
00:21:49Just bill my account.
00:21:51And Barlow
00:21:53won't renew your lease.
00:21:55Not here, not anywhere.
00:21:57You're done, Flora.
00:21:59I'll make sure you never work in retail again.
00:22:05Oh!
00:22:11Oh!
00:22:23I realize right now this is the first
00:22:25time I'm seeing the real Evelyn.
00:22:27You've been hiding in plain sight.
00:22:29You know what, look over here.
00:22:31Surplus loan for the night?
00:22:33What's her name, man?
00:22:35I got you.
00:22:37What's her name?
00:22:41I don't know.
00:22:49I feel like I don't fit in here.
00:22:51You don't fit in, Evelyn.
00:22:53You stand out.
00:22:55Don't be so obvious, Everly.
00:22:57You can't let yourself fall for him.
00:22:59It's true, everyone here is rich.
00:23:01But they're all human.
00:23:03Flaws and all.
00:23:05That's Chase and Daisy Harrington.
00:23:07They're in banking.
00:23:09You mean they work at the teller window?
00:23:11Chase can often be found at the dog track.
00:23:13And Daisy's a lush.
00:23:15She's probably spiked her wine with vodka.
00:23:17Man, that's awful.
00:23:19And that's Lily Blake Dubois.
00:23:21And her second husband.
00:23:23He's 25 years her junior.
00:23:25Men date women who are younger than them
00:23:27all the time.
00:23:29She was the PTA president, and he was in 9th grade
00:23:31with her son when they met
00:23:33when they started their affair.
00:23:35Oh, my God. Okay, stop. I get it.
00:23:37I am no longer intimidated
00:23:39by anyone in here.
00:23:41Mission accomplished.
00:23:43Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:23:47Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:23:51I'm too old for surprises, Mother.
00:23:53You flew from Paris for nothing.
00:23:55Nothing?
00:23:57You're making a fool of yourself
00:23:59with this gold digger.
00:24:01Miss Barlow, let's get two things straight.
00:24:03One, my name is
00:24:05Everly Harper.
00:24:07And two, I am not a gold digger.
00:24:09I've earned my keep since I was
00:24:11six years old, and I started my business from scratch.
00:24:13I don't need your money.
00:24:15But I would like your respect.
00:24:17So,
00:24:19I won't let anyone talk down to me,
00:24:21even if you are Julian's mother.
00:24:23Impudent girl.
00:24:25Meddling mother.
00:24:27Aren't you going to say anything?
00:24:29Meddling mother.
00:24:31I couldn't have put it better myself.
00:24:35I don't know what you did to trick
00:24:37my son into marriage, but I have
00:24:39my eye on you, Everly Harper.
00:24:41One false move
00:24:43and you are through.
00:24:45Alright, that's enough.
00:24:47Enjoy your evening alone, Mother.
00:24:59Everly, I want to apologize.
00:25:01My mother was out of line.
00:25:03She didn't expect it either.
00:25:05She's so determined, she won't back down.
00:25:07We need to make sure
00:25:09she doesn't start digging into the details
00:25:11of our marriage.
00:25:13So, what's our next steps?
00:25:15I want you to move in with me.
00:25:19It was going to happen sooner or later.
00:25:21Mother just expedited it.
00:25:23That goes to the kitchen.
00:25:27Living room.
00:25:29It's just all moving
00:25:31a little too fast. I mean, one minute
00:25:33Julian's asking me to move in with him
00:25:35and the next, movers are packing my stuff.
00:25:37But you gotta love a man that takes action, you know?
00:25:39You are oddly chipper about all this.
00:25:41I mean, here I was, feeling bad about leaving you
00:25:43to find a new roommate.
00:25:45I don't know. I think I'm going to try living alone for a while.
00:25:47Samantha, how can you afford that?
00:25:49The new landlord lowered everyone's rent.
00:25:51Since when?
00:25:53Since you became his fake bride.
00:25:55He knew that you felt bad for me,
00:25:57and so he bought the entire apartment complex
00:25:59and lowered everyone's rent.
00:26:01That's...
00:26:03That's insane.
00:26:05Everly, billionaires don't think like normal people, sweetie.
00:26:07This is your life now.
00:26:09You need to get used to it, okay?
00:26:17Are we going to have gazpacho for dinner?
00:26:19If it pleases Miss Bella to have gazpacho.
00:26:21Hello!
00:26:23Okay, what can I get you today?
00:26:27Okay.
00:26:35Shouldn't take me longer than two days
00:26:37to inspect the site in Indonesia.
00:26:39Are you sure you can watch Bella?
00:26:41I haven't hired a nanny yet,
00:26:43and she tires Miss Delaney out.
00:26:45Don't worry about us. You focus on work.
00:26:47Bella and I will be just fine.
00:26:49I'll take you to the bakery with me.
00:26:51You should have a blast.
00:26:53Here's a detailed list of her routines,
00:26:55contact information,
00:26:57all the information you'll ever need.
00:26:59Love soccer, allergic to strawberries,
00:27:01doctor's number.
00:27:03I'm impressed.
00:27:05I wouldn't have thought a CEO like you would be this hands-on with this kid.
00:27:07Well, you thought wrong.
00:27:09Bella means the world to me.
00:27:21Daddy,
00:27:23why are you staring at Emily like that?
00:27:25You like her.
00:27:27Sorry, she doesn't know what she's talking about.
00:27:29Well, sometimes kids have a way
00:27:31of knowing the truth.
00:27:33They also have a way of being annoying.
00:27:35Well, anyways, me and Bun Bun
00:27:37wanted to play airplane.
00:27:39All right, Munchkin, you have one minute.
00:27:41Yippee!
00:27:43Ready?
00:27:45Yeah!
00:27:47Yeah!
00:27:51So this is what a happy family looks like.
00:27:53It looks so nice.
00:27:55I wonder if we could be a real family someday.
00:27:57Just the three of us.
00:28:03Okay, chef,
00:28:05what's on the menu today?
00:28:07Chocolate cupcakes
00:28:09and chocolate donuts
00:28:11and chocolate cake.
00:28:13Oh, and chocolate chip cookies.
00:28:15And a chocolate thing?
00:28:17Okay, it's time to get to work, chef.
00:28:19Yippee, chef!
00:28:25What do you think, chef?
00:28:29I can taste the love.
00:28:31What?
00:28:33The magic ingredient. I can taste it.
00:28:35That's good.
00:28:39Emily?
00:28:41Do you like my dad?
00:28:43Of course I like him.
00:28:45He's a great guy and a good dad.
00:28:47So you could become my mommy for real?
00:28:49Bella,
00:28:51I don't know what the future holds,
00:28:53but I know
00:28:55you have a very special place
00:28:57in my heart, okay?
00:28:59Okay.
00:29:03Whoa, that was fast.
00:29:05Okay.
00:29:07Time for a rest.
00:29:09Daddy!
00:29:17Oh, my God.
00:29:19I'm falling for him.
00:29:23Daddy!
00:29:25Did you miss me, Munchkin?
00:29:27So much, but Everly's the best.
00:29:29I got to be a chef.
00:29:31And we had a movie marathon,
00:29:33and I got to sleep in sheep tents
00:29:35in the living room,
00:29:37and we ate in the kitchen
00:29:39with Mrs. Delaney,
00:29:41who was all frowny, but then she was all smiley.
00:29:43I like the kitchen better than the dining room.
00:29:45Can we eat there from now on?
00:29:47I see you've made some changes.
00:29:49Very minor ones.
00:29:51Oops, did I say something bad?
00:29:53No, Munchkin. Daddy's just learning
00:29:55his little set in his ways.
00:29:57You can do everything, Dad, but you're a bad cook,
00:29:59and Everly's way better at girl stuff.
00:30:01You're like the prince,
00:30:03and Everly's the princess,
00:30:05and you'll live happily ever after
00:30:07with Bun Bun, of course.
00:30:13Kids and their fairy tales.
00:30:15She'll understand that we can't be
00:30:17more than a pretend couple when she's older.
00:30:19Of course.
00:30:21She's still too little.
00:30:23We can't be more than a pretend couple.
00:30:25Right. It felt so real.
00:30:27I let myself forget it was a fake marriage.
00:30:29It can never be anything more.
00:30:35Oh, my God.
00:30:37You have to go.
00:30:39Oh, come on. Olivia and Nolan
00:30:41are gonna gossip about us if you do not show your face tomorrow.
00:30:43They're going to do that regardless.
00:30:45Okay, I'm sorry, Sammy. I thought about it,
00:30:47and I don't want to go to our high school reunion.
00:30:49Okay, hear me out. Just picture this.
00:30:51You walk in with your new, hot,
00:30:53billionaire husband. It's the perfect revenge
00:30:55for the mean girls that used to call us poor losers.
00:30:57No, I would never use Julian in that way.
00:30:59Well, if the thing is,
00:31:01I already told them that you would be there with them.
00:31:03Well, okay.
00:31:05Don't get upset. Don't get upset.
00:31:07It's just that Olivia posted that we were lying skinks,
00:31:09and then it kind of just blew up from there,
00:31:11and then all of a sudden...
00:31:13And Samantha, you make everything ten times worse.
00:31:15Don't worry. I'll go with you.
00:31:17I can't let my wife be humiliated.
00:31:19I came by to take you to dinner
00:31:21as a thank you for helping me with Bella.
00:31:23Did he really mean that?
00:31:25His wife?
00:31:27You should take the day off tomorrow and go pamper yourself.
00:31:29I'll make the arrangements with the hotel spa.
00:31:31On one condition.
00:31:33Can you make the reservation for two?
00:31:35I can do that.
00:31:43I want to get my nails done, too.
00:31:45What color do you want to get, Bella?
00:31:47The exact same as you.
00:31:49I also want to get some for Bun Bun.
00:31:51He looks great with those.
00:31:53You're so adorable.
00:31:55How could any mother abandon you?
00:31:57I wish you were really mine.
00:32:01Oh, my.
00:32:03Mr. Barlow said
00:32:05that you might need some help getting into it.
00:32:07I can't wear that, Miss Delaney.
00:32:09It's too beautiful
00:32:11and definitely way too expensive.
00:32:13Nonsense, dear.
00:32:15Mr. Barlow said to tell you
00:32:17you're the only one that can do it justice.
00:32:23Now let's see it on you.
00:32:25I want to thank you for the dress.
00:32:27I'll find a way to pay you back.
00:32:29Seeing you in it is payment enough.
00:32:31You are drop-dead gorgeous, Everly.
00:32:33It's not me.
00:32:35It's the dress.
00:32:37Why do you do that?
00:32:39Why do you downplay your beauty?
00:32:41I don't like to draw attention to myself.
00:32:43You shouldn't have to dim your light
00:32:45to make others feel good about you.
00:32:47I don't care.
00:32:49I don't care.
00:32:51I don't care.
00:32:53You shouldn't have to dim your light
00:32:55to make others feel good about themselves.
00:33:09Mr. Barlow, sir,
00:33:11there is a visitor here
00:33:13demanding to speak with you.
00:33:15I'm not expecting anyone.
00:33:17It's your ex-wife.
00:33:19It's your ex-wife.
00:33:27I put Miss Rossi in the guest room.
00:33:29Where's Bella?
00:33:31She's with Miss Delaney in the playroom.
00:33:33Good. We need to keep Bella away from Kendra.
00:33:35I have to deal with her.
00:33:37I'll join you at the reunion when I'm done.
00:33:39I can just not go.
00:33:41No. Kendra is not going to disrupt our plans.
00:33:43My driver will take you there.
00:33:45I promise.
00:33:47I promise.
00:33:51It's been so long, Julian.
00:33:53Not long enough. What do you want?
00:33:55I want my daughter.
00:33:57I want Bella.
00:34:05I heard
00:34:07Everly is coming to the reunion.
00:34:09I thought that she would never
00:34:11show her face here ever again.
00:34:13Everly? The foster kid weirdo?
00:34:15Yeah, well, she destroyed
00:34:17my engagement party, so I'm going to destroy
00:34:19her tonight.
00:34:21Didn't Samantha say she's married to Julian Barlow?
00:34:23What if he's going to come with her?
00:34:25He might fuck her,
00:34:27but a Barlow is not going to marry trash like her.
00:34:45She should be mine.
00:34:53Eyes on me, Nolan.
00:34:55They really did recreate Senior Prom.
00:34:57Yep, all the ways,
00:34:59the tacky decorations, and the cheesy DJ.
00:35:01Last time I was here, I was with Nolan.
00:35:03My foster mom at the time
00:35:05helped make my dress, and it looked it.
00:35:07We didn't even get our first dance before Olivia told
00:35:09everyone I had an STD.
00:35:11That's right, and then Nolan couldn't take it
00:35:13and he bailed. We should have known then
00:35:15that he was a dick. Yeah, I forgave him.
00:35:17No one could stand up for Olivia,
00:35:19myself included at that time.
00:35:21Let's slay this bitch.
00:35:23I mean the dance, of course.
00:35:25That dress
00:35:27looks like it cost a fortune.
00:35:29What do you think, Olivia?
00:35:31You're a fashion expert.
00:35:33It can't be the Nightingale of Hanoi.
00:35:35That dress is worth
00:35:37millions.
00:35:39It's just a cheap knockoff.
00:35:41Come on, girls. Let's give Everly
00:35:43a high school reunion she'll never forget.
00:35:45Let's give Everly
00:35:47a high school reunion she'll never forget.
00:35:49Hey.
00:35:51Where's your husband?
00:35:53Julian's on his way. Shut up, loser.
00:35:55No one's talking to you. Bitch.
00:35:57Give it up, Everly. We all know
00:35:59he got bored and dumped you.
00:36:03Like, okay.
00:36:05Did you just fucking
00:36:07shrug at me?
00:36:09Apparently, you've forgotten your place.
00:36:11Must be that dress giving you
00:36:13attitude, but it's a cheap knockoff
00:36:15just like you.
00:36:17I don't think it's a knockoff.
00:36:19It's a gift from my husband.
00:36:21Give it up, bitch.
00:36:23We all know you're lying your husband
00:36:25your dress.
00:36:27I call bullshit.
00:36:29Grow up, Olivia. You're too old to still be
00:36:31a mean girl.
00:36:40Hey, no, no, no.
00:36:42Let go of me, Nolan.
00:36:44Get your hands off of her.
00:36:46Just because you're fucking a Barlow
00:36:48doesn't make you royalty.
00:36:50Take that fake dress off
00:36:52or I'll take it off for you.
00:36:54What makes you think it's fake?
00:36:56You clueless bitch.
00:36:58I'm a fashion influencer.
00:37:00With 1.8 million
00:37:02followers, you expect me
00:37:04to believe that white trash like
00:37:06you are wearing the nightingale
00:37:08of Hanoi gown valued
00:37:10at 10 million dollars.
00:37:12That's
00:37:14why Julian grinned when I said I'd pay him back
00:37:16for the dress.
00:37:18Take it off.
00:37:24No, get off of her.
00:37:28Oh my God.
00:37:30Let me go.
00:37:32Nolan.
00:37:34No.
00:37:36No.
00:37:38Stop.
00:37:40Get away from my wife.
00:37:44Get away from my wife.
00:37:58Sorry I'm late.
00:38:00The dress is ruined.
00:38:02Please tell me it wasn't worth millions of dollars.
00:38:04I can't tell you that.
00:38:06Apologize to my wife
00:38:08now.
00:38:10We were just joking.
00:38:12You know, fooling around.
00:38:14My wife was on the ground soaking wet.
00:38:16Dress torn.
00:38:18What you did was battery and harassment.
00:38:20My lawyer's not going to think that's funny.
00:38:22I sure as hell don't.
00:38:24Lawyers? Who the hell are you?
00:38:26That's Julian Barlow.
00:38:28He's one of the richest men in the world.
00:38:30Do you know how much this dress is worth?
00:38:32Every bead is a genuine,
00:38:34flawless diamond. Miss St. James,
00:38:36you just ruined a ten million dollar gown.
00:38:38Oh shit.
00:38:40No.
00:38:42No. No.
00:38:44That can't be.
00:38:46You better start liquidating all your assets,
00:38:48including your parents' house, because the insurance company is coming for your ass.
00:38:50Then the police.
00:38:52Good luck finding a job in fashion
00:38:54after ruining one of the most famous dresses in the world.
00:38:58That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:39:02You did this.
00:39:04You set me up.
00:39:06You did it to yourself.
00:39:08Nolan, do something.
00:39:10I left the woman I love
00:39:12because you said we'd be rich and now you have nothing.
00:39:14You piece of shit.
00:39:16Nope.
00:39:20Don't do this.
00:39:22Please don't do this.
00:39:24I'm not the one you need to beg for forgiveness.
00:39:32I'm sorry,
00:39:34Everly.
00:39:36I never should have tormented you
00:39:38all of those years.
00:39:40You didn't deserve it.
00:39:42Then why did you do it?
00:39:44Why me?
00:39:46Why me?
00:39:48Because even with your shitty clothes,
00:39:50your terrible hair,
00:39:52you were still beautiful.
00:39:54Everyone could see it.
00:39:56I would kill to look like you
00:39:58and you treated it like it was nothing.
00:40:00So you hated me
00:40:02because I was pretty
00:40:04and didn't shove it in people's faces?
00:40:06That is so messed up.
00:40:08Well, I was right to hate you.
00:40:10Look at you.
00:40:12You bagged a billionaire
00:40:14without even trying.
00:40:16Everly is beautiful inside and out.
00:40:18That's what draws people to her.
00:40:20You're done here.
00:40:22I'm not going to push any criminal charges,
00:40:24but the insurance company will be reaching out.
00:40:26You're on the hook for that dress.
00:40:28Oh, my God. I never thought
00:40:30that I'd see this in a lifetime.
00:40:32Please pinch me and tell me that I'm not dreaming.
00:40:34If you are, so am I.
00:40:36You want to get out of here?
00:40:38Yes, please.
00:40:52Bitches.
00:40:54Who knew that high school reunions would be this fun?
00:40:58Thank you
00:41:00for what you did.
00:41:02Never has anyone
00:41:04come to my rescue before.
00:41:06I enjoy doing it.
00:41:08You matter to me, Everly.
00:41:10Me and Belen.
00:41:12Hey.
00:41:14Of course.
00:41:16I understand.
00:41:18Thank you again.
00:41:20Have a good night, Julian.
00:41:22Everly, wait.
00:41:24That came out wrong.
00:41:26I have feelings for you,
00:41:28but I don't want to leave you on.
00:41:30Kendra's betrayal of our marriage,
00:41:32it broke something inside of me,
00:41:34and I don't think
00:41:36I can commit to another woman.
00:41:38I just want
00:41:40to be with you.
00:41:42I'm not asking for anything else.
00:41:44You're so amazing, Julian,
00:41:46and I like everything about you.
00:41:48You just...
00:41:56Sir, is that you?
00:41:58I heard a noise.
00:42:02Yes, Mr. Gibson.
00:42:04You can go to bed.
00:42:06Yes, sir. Good night, sir.
00:42:08Ma'am.
00:42:10Fuck, that was embarrassing.
00:42:12I haven't got caught like that
00:42:14since I was a little school boy.
00:42:16Do you think he saw us?
00:42:18He probably did, but
00:42:20I don't think he saw us.
00:42:22I don't think he saw us.
00:42:24Do you think he saw us?
00:42:26He probably did, but
00:42:28he's not going to say anything.
00:42:30I want nothing more than to
00:42:32take you upstairs right now.
00:42:34Me too.
00:42:36You're so honest, Everly.
00:42:38It's one of the many things
00:42:40I admire about you.
00:42:42And although it's going to kill me,
00:42:44I want you to go to bed.
00:42:46You're too noble.
00:42:48No one's ever said that to me before.
00:42:50Good night, sweetheart.
00:42:54Now go
00:42:56before I change my mind.
00:43:00Did that just happen?
00:43:02Am I actually dating
00:43:04Julian Barlow?
00:43:10This is nice.
00:43:12Just holding your hand.
00:43:16What are we going to tell Bella?
00:43:18I don't want to get her hopes up,
00:43:20but we are dating now.
00:43:22Change of steps.
00:43:24We have to put her first.
00:43:26Have you always thought of others
00:43:28at the expense of yourself?
00:43:30That's why I was bullied so much growing up
00:43:32and why people take advantage of me.
00:43:34Don't say that.
00:43:36You're the best person I know, Everly.
00:43:38Now you have me,
00:43:40and I promise I won't let anyone hurt you anymore.
00:43:48So you think you can
00:43:50replace me with this whore, Julian?
00:43:52Let's see how that works out
00:43:54when I get through with the both of you.
00:44:00So,
00:44:02this is your latest slut.
00:44:04Kendra, are you following me?
00:44:06I'm Bella's mother.
00:44:08I need to know what her father is doing
00:44:10and who is to me.
00:44:12So you fuck the help now, Julian?
00:44:14Who I'm with is none of your business.
00:44:16And you cheated on me with my best friend.
00:44:18Then you abandoned your daughter and went to Europe
00:44:20with some tennis pro at a club.
00:44:22That was ages ago.
00:44:24I've changed now.
00:44:26I'm ready to be a wife and a mother,
00:44:28and you can't let this homewrecker
00:44:30get in the way of what we can have.
00:44:32Everly is my wife now.
00:44:34And stay away from Bella. You don't have visitation rights.
00:44:38Oh, we'll see about that.
00:44:40I'm Bella's birth mother.
00:44:42That's never going to change.
00:44:44I can't lose my daughter.
00:44:46You won't.
00:44:48We'll fight it together.
00:44:58Hello, sir.
00:45:00What can I get for you today?
00:45:02I need to ask a favor of you.
00:45:04Sorry.
00:45:06No freebies for men with mean ex-wives?
00:45:08No ex-wife.
00:45:10Just one wife right in front of me.
00:45:14I'm still working.
00:45:16I'll have to kick you out
00:45:18if you're not a paying customer.
00:45:20Then I'll pay now.
00:45:26I guess just bought the entire store.
00:45:28I need help
00:45:30from my favorite cake baker.
00:45:32Bella's Elementary School is hosting a bake sale,
00:45:34and every family
00:45:36brings a homemade dessert,
00:45:38and they all compete for first place.
00:45:40Would you want to go with us?
00:45:42You want me to be a part of your family?
00:45:44Part of your neighbors?
00:45:46Of course.
00:45:56No, you have to stir in the same direction
00:45:58clockwise 30 times.
00:46:00Wow.
00:46:02I had no idea you had to be so accurate.
00:46:04You do if you want to be the best.
00:46:08No, not like that. Like this.
00:46:12Okay.
00:46:18You are the worst student.
00:46:20I'm sorry I can't concentrate
00:46:22because my teacher's so hot.
00:46:36Evelyn and Daddy
00:46:38sitting in a tree.
00:46:40K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
00:46:42I'm gonna get you.
00:46:46Come here.
00:47:02Hey, Bella.
00:47:04Remember me?
00:47:06No.
00:47:08I'm your mother.
00:47:10No, you're not.
00:47:12Evelyn's my mom. I chose her.
00:47:14You little brat. You can't choose your mother.
00:47:16You're born with one, and that's what you get.
00:47:18That's enough, Kendra.
00:47:20You're upsetting Bella and causing a scene.
00:47:22Whatever.
00:47:24Move aside.
00:47:26I'm going to win this bake sale
00:47:28and prove who the real mother is.
00:47:30Those are store-bought cookies.
00:47:32What is she thinking?
00:47:34Her family owns Rossi Cookies.
00:47:36They were franchised.
00:47:38They have stores in every country.
00:47:40You didn't tell me your ex was a world-renowned baker.
00:47:42She doesn't have a tenth of your talent.
00:47:44Her grandma's the baker.
00:47:46She uses the recipes.
00:47:48There's not one creative bone in her body.
00:47:54Oh, my God. That's amazing.
00:47:56I want to buy all of it.
00:47:58Who made this?
00:48:00Julian Barlow?
00:48:02I had no idea he was
00:48:04such a talented baker.
00:48:08Here. Try mine.
00:48:10Not to brag, but the Rossi name
00:48:12is renowned in the world of desserts.
00:48:14Not bad,
00:48:16but nowhere near the Barlow's.
00:48:18I'm telling you all to taste it.
00:48:20It's simply magic in your mouth.
00:48:22I think we know who the winner is.
00:48:26Yay!
00:48:30You want to see magic?
00:48:32I'm going to make that bitch disappear.
00:48:34Abra-fucking-cadabra.
00:48:42Can't forget that.
00:48:44Top of Bella's grocery list.
00:48:46She would never forgive me.
00:48:48Well, aren't we the perfect little housewife?
00:48:50That is,
00:48:52until Bella is rushed to the hospital.
00:48:54Oops.
00:48:56Emily!
00:48:58Hi!
00:49:00So lucky to run into you here.
00:49:02Oh. Oh, so.
00:49:04I owe you an apology
00:49:06for how weird I was to you earlier.
00:49:08In my defense,
00:49:10you'd have to be a mother
00:49:12to understand how it feels to see another woman
00:49:14raising a child.
00:49:16Do you have it in your heart to forgive me?
00:49:18It's Bella and Julian you owe an apology to,
00:49:20not me.
00:49:22Watch your back.
00:49:24There's a long line of women
00:49:26waiting to get their claws into Julian.
00:49:28Beautiful, sexy,
00:49:30sophisticated women
00:49:32who are suited to his lifestyle
00:49:34so he sees every want and desire.
00:49:38Is there some kind of threat?
00:49:40No.
00:49:42Just a cold, hard fact
00:49:44that you, Everly Harper,
00:49:46will never be more than a glorified babysitter
00:49:48to him.
00:49:50It's funny,
00:49:52you'll never be more than a bitter memory to him.
00:49:56Now stop messing with our family.
00:49:58Next time,
00:50:00I won't be so nice.
00:50:04Next time,
00:50:06you'll be the psycho who drugged Julian's daughter.
00:50:14Let me ask you a question.
00:50:18Why did you choose me?
00:50:20I don't know.
00:50:22I'm just coming from.
00:50:24I mean, once Bella grows up
00:50:26and doesn't need a mom anymore,
00:50:28will you still want to be with me?
00:50:30Everly, sweetheart,
00:50:32this doesn't sound like you.
00:50:34It's just, I'm not like
00:50:36the society women you've dated in the past.
00:50:38What if you get bored with me?
00:50:44Imagine dating someone
00:50:46who barely eats because they're watching your figure
00:50:48and spends more time with their plastic surgeons
00:50:50and with their family.
00:50:52You mean these society women?
00:50:54You're so bad.
00:50:58I'm sorry.
00:51:00I let Kendra get in my head.
00:51:02When did you see Kendra?
00:51:06It's Bella's school.
00:51:08This is Julian Barlow.
00:51:12Emergency room.
00:51:14Uh-huh.
00:51:16I understand. I'm on my way.
00:51:18What's going on? Is Bella okay?
00:51:20The school nurse said that she was poisoned.
00:51:22Something she ate. Something about a lollipop.
00:51:30Bella is asleep.
00:51:32Fortunately,
00:51:34the lab results just showed that it was
00:51:36a common prescribed sedative that was on the lollipop.
00:51:38How does this happen? I don't understand.
00:51:40I have to ask.
00:51:42Have you had any threats
00:51:44recently or encountered any suspicious characters?
00:51:48It came as soon as I heard.
00:51:50How is our precious Bella?
00:51:52She's coming along.
00:51:54Poison? My God.
00:51:56What kind of monster would poison an innocent child?
00:51:58With a lollipop, no less.
00:52:00I'm sorry.
00:52:02Doctor, did you say lollipop?
00:52:04The perpetrator poisoned Julian
00:52:06and my daughter
00:52:08with a lollipop.
00:52:10Well, that's interesting
00:52:12because I ran into Everly
00:52:14at the bakery yesterday
00:52:16and I saw one of Bella's favorite
00:52:18rainbow-colored lollipops.
00:52:20Are you suggesting that I had something to do
00:52:22with this?
00:52:24You gave Bella that lollipop, did you not?
00:52:32I did.
00:52:34I can't believe this. Our precious Bella.
00:52:36Our little angel
00:52:38drugged by yet another baby.
00:52:40There's no such thing. I would never...
00:52:42Wait, hold on. Bella's been poisoned before?
00:52:44Is this true, Julian?
00:52:46When she was 18 months old, I had a babysitter
00:52:48and I haven't been able to trust anyone
00:52:50since then, just you.
00:52:52But now I...
00:52:54Now what?
00:52:56I'll tell you what.
00:52:58You're not coming near Bella ever again.
00:53:02No, no, this can't be real.
00:53:04You know I would never hurt Bella.
00:53:06You know I love her like she's my own daughter.
00:53:08But she's not.
00:53:10She's ours.
00:53:12Julian, will you be calling security
00:53:14or shall I?
00:53:18Julian, will you be calling security or shall I?
00:53:24Everly, I'm sorry.
00:53:26I'm sorry for ever doubting you, even for a second.
00:53:28I know that you could never
00:53:30harm Bella. Not because
00:53:32you're my wife, but because you're a loving heart.
00:53:34Julian, what are you saying?
00:53:36It's dangerous. Stop, Kendra, just stop.
00:53:40Look at the evidence.
00:53:42Everly bought the rainbow-colored
00:53:44lollipop for Bella. Who else could have
00:53:46tampered with it?
00:53:48How did you know it was a
00:53:50rainbow lollipop?
00:53:52No one mentioned what color it was.
00:53:56No, you switched them.
00:53:58At the bakery parking lot, that's why you were there.
00:54:02You drugged your own daughter just to frame me?
00:54:04Who the sicko does that?
00:54:06You can't think that.
00:54:08But your prescription medicine can. Julian, stop.
00:54:10That's not mine.
00:54:12She's been taking Sada since I met her.
00:54:14That's exactly what was found
00:54:16in Bella's system.
00:54:18You psychotic bitch.
00:54:20First you tried to kill my daughter,
00:54:22now you're trying to frame my wife?
00:54:24It's common. It could be found from anywhere.
00:54:26It could have been anyone.
00:54:28It could have been you.
00:54:30It was you.
00:54:32I'm telling you it wasn't me.
00:54:36Bella's waking up.
00:54:42Thank God she's okay.
00:54:44The thought of losing her
00:54:46was too much to bear.
00:54:48We don't have to think about that.
00:54:50She has you.
00:54:52I have you.
00:54:54And we all have each other.
00:54:56Whatever comes our way.
00:54:58That's what family's for.
00:55:00That's what it means to love.
00:55:02And be loved.
00:55:04Exactly.
00:55:06Stop it.
00:55:08We're in the children's ward.
00:55:10I'm pretty sure all these doctors
00:55:12and nurses know how babies are born.
00:55:14They're made.
00:55:18Mommy?
00:55:20Daddy?
00:55:22Brain check?
00:55:24Oh, you can count on it.
00:55:26Is that my little munchkin in there making noise?
00:55:30Welcome in.
00:55:32What gang is that?
00:55:34No.
00:55:36What, is there a rule against selling a cake
00:55:38to your ex? Come on, Everly.
00:55:40Look, Everly,
00:55:42I'm sorry. I made a big mistake.
00:55:44I'll admit that, but I've changed.
00:55:46I left Olivia, and I just want to start fresh.
00:55:48I want to do this again.
00:55:50Are you serious?
00:55:52Yes, it was all Olivia's doing.
00:55:54You know how manipulative she can be.
00:55:56And I only loved you the entire time.
00:55:58You think Julian? Julian's a multibillionaire.
00:56:00You think he'd really go for someone like you?
00:56:02I mean, get real, Everly.
00:56:04If he doesn't love you,
00:56:06I do.
00:56:08We'd probably die without you.
00:56:12Get the hell
00:56:14out of my bakery.
00:56:16You're a fucking bitch.
00:56:18No one's gonna come to save you.
00:56:22Stay away from my wife!
00:56:24Last warning!
00:56:26Stay away from her or I'll break more than just your arm!
00:56:28Motherfucker.
00:56:30If I can't have her, no one can.
00:56:38Thank you for stepping in, Julian.
00:56:40I wish I could be here all the time, but I can't.
00:56:42Nolan.
00:56:44It's gonna be a problem.
00:56:46I can't exactly lock my doors.
00:56:48Don't work by yourself anymore.
00:56:50Make sure Samantha's with you.
00:56:56Someone for the lunch kid.
00:57:02I have to pick her up right now.
00:57:04We'll see you later?
00:57:06Stay alert.
00:57:22And the hits
00:57:24keep coming.
00:57:26First my ex, now his.
00:57:28When will we ever catch a break?
00:57:40We have to keep that from Bella.
00:57:42I'll get my lawyer to file a restraining order
00:57:44against Kendra this week.
00:57:46Maybe there's a way we can make peace with Bella's mom.
00:57:48We've tried.
00:57:50She's turned every attempt against us,
00:57:52including Bella.
00:57:56I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:58:00How can I help protect Bella?
00:58:02No, Everly, it's not your fight.
00:58:04Yes, it is. Contract or not, you and I are in this together.
00:58:06I can't stand by while you and Bella suffer.
00:58:22What if Bella wakes up?
00:58:24She hung her head years ago.
00:58:26I just kept it.
00:58:28Oh, no.
00:58:52Okay.
00:58:54Okay.
00:59:20What are your thoughts on a family date?
00:59:24There's three of us.
00:59:26You want to go on a picnic?
00:59:28I'll go wherever you'll take me.
00:59:34So where did you get Bun Bun?
00:59:36When I was three years old.
00:59:38Yep, we were outside
00:59:40and she saw a rabbit run across the yard
00:59:42and she looked at me and reached her hands out
00:59:44and I said, no, you can't have a wild animal.
00:59:46So she started crying.
00:59:48So naturally, I got her Bun Bun the next day.
00:59:50Naturally.
00:59:54Hello.
00:59:56My baby.
00:59:58Come to mom.
01:00:00What are you doing here?
01:00:02You look like a stalker.
01:00:04I'm still your mother.
01:00:06And I brought your favorite food.
01:00:08Strawberries.
01:00:10Everly loves me more than you.
01:00:12And I love her too.
01:00:14And I can't eat strawberries.
01:00:16Darling.
01:00:18That woman is just after daddy's money.
01:00:20You're lying.
01:00:22I hate you.
01:00:24You can't talk to me like that.
01:00:26I'm your mother.
01:00:28No, you're not. Everly is my mommy.
01:00:30You're scary.
01:00:32You little brat.
01:00:34Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:00:36Mommy, daddy.
01:00:38Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:00:40Mommy, daddy.
01:00:42Kendra, what the hell?
01:00:44I'm trying to protect my daughter
01:00:46from this fucking bitch.
01:00:48Hey, watch your language in front of Bella.
01:00:50Strawberries.
01:00:52Kendra, are you insane?
01:00:54Bella is deathly allergic.
01:00:56How was I supposed to know?
01:00:58You never let me see that.
01:01:00That's a lie. You abandoned her.
01:01:02Shut up, you lying gold digger.
01:01:04I'm twice the mother that you'll ever be.
01:01:06Bella.
01:01:08Come back, sweetie.
01:01:10She's overwhelmed. You're scaring her.
01:01:12You know nothing about my daughter.
01:01:14But I know about you.
01:01:16You're just a foster kid.
01:01:18Bella and I both know
01:01:20that Everly is the best thing
01:01:22to happen to this family.
01:01:24Bella, sweetie.
01:01:26You can't possibly think
01:01:28that this poor substitute is better than a real mother.
01:01:30We have the same blood.
01:01:32You're part Rossi.
01:01:34You can't ask your daughter that.
01:01:36Shut up.
01:01:38Kendra, this isn't some game that you can win.
01:01:40This is Bella and Julian's lives.
01:01:42I don't know why,
01:01:44but you abandoned them.
01:01:46And you're trying to snatch them back
01:01:48just so you can win won't make you happy.
01:01:50You have to move on.
01:01:52You have to move on.
01:01:56I know I don't deserve her,
01:01:58but I found out last month
01:02:00that I'm infertile.
01:02:02I can never have another baby.
01:02:04Bella's it for me.
01:02:16I know she's done
01:02:18some bad things,
01:02:20but she's still your mother, Bella.
01:02:22Why don't you go give her a hug?
01:02:26I don't really hate you.
01:02:28I know, baby.
01:02:32It's all my fault.
01:02:38You're right.
01:02:40I only wanted to win.
01:02:42You can win a game,
01:02:44but you can never win someone's heart.
01:02:46You're very wise.
01:02:48Don't get me wrong.
01:02:50I don't want to be your friend.
01:02:52I'm just trying to leave my daughter
01:02:54with a happy memory.
01:02:58Take care, Kendra.
01:03:00Maybe one day I'll let Bella write you.
01:03:02She's older.
01:03:06Bye, sweetie.
01:03:10She fell for my sob story.
01:03:12Stupid bitch.
01:03:14I won't stop until I get my man back
01:03:16and the kid with him.
01:03:22Oh!
01:03:24What's all this for?
01:03:26100th Annual
01:03:28International Bake-Off.
01:03:30Sounds like a big deal.
01:03:32It's invitation only,
01:03:34and I can't believe I got in.
01:03:36If I do well, it'll really help
01:03:38put the bakery on the map.
01:03:40Well, given how you rocked that bake sale,
01:03:42you've got this in the bag.
01:03:44That was nothing.
01:03:46I need a showstopper that's gonna dazzle their taste buds
01:03:48and win over their hearts.
01:03:52So what's the secret weapon?
01:03:54Vanilla rosemary
01:03:56five-layer cake topped with a lavender
01:03:58buttercream and a hint of orange zest.
01:04:00Sounds like I need to clear some space
01:04:02on the mantle for that first-place trophy.
01:04:04Cut it out.
01:04:06I'm trying to concentrate.
01:04:08Oh. Am I distracting you?
01:04:10I'm a sucker
01:04:12for a messy apron.
01:04:16Okay, fine. You can stay,
01:04:18but you have to make yourself useful.
01:04:20What's first, chef?
01:04:24Ladies and gentlemen,
01:04:26welcome to our 100th Annual International Bake-Off.
01:04:28Please find your seat.
01:04:30Our competition will start shortly.
01:04:38You got this, girl.
01:04:40We'll be in the front row cheering you on, okay?
01:04:42Thanks, Sammy. I'm gonna go check my presentation
01:04:44one more time.
01:04:48Knock them dead out there, sweetheart.
01:04:52Good luck.
01:05:00There you are,
01:05:02falling nicely into my trap.
01:05:04Who do you think arranged the invite,
01:05:06you pathetic nobody?
01:05:16Hey, Everly.
01:05:18Ready to get crushed?
01:05:20What are you doing here?
01:05:22Are you stalking me?
01:05:24You look scared.
01:05:26You should be.
01:05:28I'm going to win that trophy and prove
01:05:30who's the better baker and mother.
01:05:32I'm infertile.
01:05:34You never have another baby.
01:05:36So everything you said at the park was a lie.
01:05:38You're not infertile. You just can't stand
01:05:40that Bella chose me.
01:05:42I'm her fucking mother, bitch.
01:05:44You're a monster.
01:05:46And you're just an amateur who doesn't deserve to be here.
01:05:48Did you really think
01:05:50you earned a place in this competition?
01:05:52I'm the one who got the judges to invite you,
01:05:54and now Julian's going to see
01:05:56what a poor orphan loser
01:05:58you truly are.
01:06:00Bring it on, Rossi.
01:06:02My recipe is heart and soul,
01:06:04and they will beat your assembly line crap
01:06:06any day.
01:06:10Oh, yeah?
01:06:12Do you know what goes great with cake?
01:06:14What?
01:06:16Coffee.
01:06:20Oops!
01:06:26Kendra, what the hell?
01:06:28You better go get cleaned up.
01:06:30I don't want to meet the judges looking like that.
01:06:32So unsanitary.
01:06:50Your knight in shining armor can't save your ass this time.
01:06:52Never leave.
01:06:54Our next competitor,
01:06:56Kendra Rossi.
01:07:00Hi, judge.
01:07:02This is my own
01:07:04one-of-a-kind original recipe.
01:07:08A vanilla
01:07:10rosemary five-layer cake
01:07:12with lavender buttercream
01:07:14and a hint of orange zest.
01:07:16That's my cake!
01:07:20What are you talking about?
01:07:22You stole my recipe.
01:07:24A nobody accusing me,
01:07:26a Rossi, of cheating?
01:07:28How dare you?
01:07:30Man.
01:07:32You have impeccable taste in women
01:07:34because obviously you chose Everly,
01:07:36but that woman up there?
01:07:38How did you end up with such a nightmare ex?
01:07:40I was young
01:07:42and stupid.
01:07:44Yeah, obviously.
01:07:46So what are we going to do to salvage this?
01:07:48Can't you just pull some strings or something?
01:07:50You're Julie and freaking Barlow, for goodness sake.
01:07:52It's not that simple.
01:07:54I know Everly wouldn't want to win that way.
01:07:56So what do we do now?
01:08:00Kendra can't get away with this.
01:08:04A nobody accusing me,
01:08:06a Rossi, of cheating?
01:08:08How dare you?
01:08:14You better go get cleaned up.
01:08:16Wouldn't want to meet the judges looking like that.
01:08:18So that's why you spilled coffee on me.
01:08:20So you could hack my laptop
01:08:22behind my back the same way you switched
01:08:24the lollipops behind my back when you poisoned
01:08:26Bella.
01:08:28That is a serious accusation.
01:08:30Now, can you prove
01:08:32that this cake is your creation?
01:08:34Here's your proof.
01:08:42We can't
01:08:44see anything. The screen is blank.
01:08:48We can't see anything.
01:08:50The screen is blank.
01:08:52What happened to my files? They're not there.
01:08:54As I said,
01:08:56this recipe is mine and mine alone.
01:08:58No, no, no, no. It's not
01:09:00true. Kendra Rossi, you're a thief.
01:09:02I think we've heard enough.
01:09:04Sir, I know this recipe,
01:09:06my recipe by heart. I can recite it from memory.
01:09:08I'm afraid that doesn't
01:09:10prove anything.
01:09:12I think it's best
01:09:14that you leave the stage now
01:09:16before I have to disqualify you.
01:09:18Isn't that
01:09:20the baker from Sweet Escape Bakery
01:09:22not going to her shop
01:09:24ever?
01:09:28Wait!
01:09:32Wait!
01:09:34This will prove the recipe
01:09:36is Everly's.
01:09:42Now you're gonna want
01:09:44to let it cool for about ten minutes.
01:09:46Hey, back on me. This is the
01:09:48important part. The last step
01:09:50is to lightly dust with a layer of orange
01:09:52zest, just enough to reach the edges.
01:10:00And then you're gonna want to add
01:10:02a pinch of salt.
01:10:04And...
01:10:06voila! You'll see the time
01:10:08stamp of this raw footage was taken
01:10:10two weeks ago.
01:10:12And speaking from experience,
01:10:14no one can make this cake
01:10:16exactly like my wife.
01:10:24Something's different.
01:10:26Taste for yourself.
01:10:34Salt.
01:10:36Missing the salt. I didn't include it in my recipe notes.
01:10:38It was a last-minute spur-of-the-moment addition.
01:10:40Totally spontaneous.
01:10:42And yet, it made all the difference in the world.
01:10:44Salt?!
01:10:46Salt?!
01:11:04Salt or not,
01:11:06this is no ordinary cake.
01:11:08And it could
01:11:10only come from the heart
01:11:12and soul of
01:11:14an extraordinary baker.
01:11:20You almost ruined
01:11:22my wife today! This is your last straw!
01:11:24Confess, or I'm calling the police!
01:11:26But I didn't.
01:11:28Okay, okay!
01:11:32I did it.
01:11:34I did it.
01:11:36All of it. Are you happy now?
01:11:38Dragging me in the mud like this
01:11:40in front of everyone?
01:11:42Julian, you broke my heart!
01:11:44You have to have a heart for it to be broken.
01:11:46How can you say that?
01:11:48I loved you more than anything.
01:11:50And then this bitch
01:11:52gets into the picture and suddenly I'm nothing?
01:11:54Just some garbage
01:11:56you can throw away?
01:11:58What is so special about her, Julian?
01:12:00She's not prettier than me.
01:12:02She can't be better in bed than me.
01:12:04What do you possibly see in her that you don't see in me?
01:12:06Maybe I'm just a better
01:12:08baker than you, Kendra.
01:12:10Here.
01:12:12Have a taste.
01:12:14I don't want your stupid salt!
01:12:16Oh!
01:12:18Oh my god!
01:12:20It smells disgusting!
01:12:22It smells like a rotten potato chip
01:12:24and Bella could have made
01:12:26a better cake than that!
01:12:28I...
01:12:30I don't even know
01:12:32what to say about everything that's going on here.
01:12:34Say I can present my cake.
01:12:36That's all I came here to do, sir.
01:12:38Fair enough.
01:12:40The ingredients in my cake are pretty traditional
01:12:42in terms of regular cake ingredients.
01:12:44I like the rosemary because it tends to cut through
01:12:46the sweetness of traditional cakes
01:12:48while also balancing the orange zest
01:12:50aromatic flavoring that we really look for
01:12:52in a well-balanced cake.
01:12:54I also, um, not listed,
01:12:56I add a little bit of salt on top
01:12:58just to balance everything out
01:13:00and I hope you really like it.
01:13:02Applause
01:13:08We have seen
01:13:10a lot of great bakes this year
01:13:12but nothing in the
01:13:14history of this competition has
01:13:16ever compared to this
01:13:18year's first prize winner
01:13:20Everly Harper!
01:13:22This year's first prize
01:13:24winner, Everly Harper!
01:13:26Applause
01:13:28Congratulations
01:13:30You deserve this, Harper. Truly well deserved.
01:13:34Would you excuse me?
01:13:40Oh, we did it, Samantha, we did it!
01:13:42No, Everly, you did this.
01:13:44Hold on.
01:13:48Listen to this. Orders are flooding in
01:13:50like crazy.
01:13:52No, no, no. I've got this. Trust me.
01:13:54Now get out of here.
01:13:56Go celebrate with your hubby.
01:13:58Yeah?
01:14:00I am so proud of you, Everly.
01:14:12I got lost.
01:14:14I'm more likely to stick a bitch than suck a dick right now.
01:14:16Good.
01:14:18Then we both want the same thing.
01:14:20Yeah?
01:14:22What's that?
01:14:24Revenge. I've spent the last two weeks
01:14:26learning everything I can about Julian Barlow
01:14:28and Everly Harper's relationship.
01:14:30And I think what I found might interest you.
01:14:32Who the fuck are you?
01:14:34I'm someone that hates
01:14:36Julian, and I heard you're
01:14:38someone that hates Everly.
01:14:40So I have a plan that'll get us
01:14:42both what we want.
01:14:44I'm listening.
01:14:52Am I doing it right?
01:14:54Those look great.
01:14:56Just squeeze your bag a little bit tighter.
01:14:58More icing equals more smiles.
01:15:02Okay.
01:15:04Time to switch to croissants.
01:15:06The chocolate-filled kind?
01:15:08All different kinds.
01:15:10Can you go in the freezer in the back
01:15:12and get me two blocks of butter?
01:15:14They are left side, middle shelf.
01:15:16Left side, middle shelf, two blocks.
01:15:18Got it.
01:15:24Okay.
01:15:32You're coming with me, Bella.
01:15:34I'm your mother, not that whore.
01:15:36Everly!
01:15:38Save your breath, kid.
01:15:40She can't hear you anyway.
01:15:42Everly!
01:15:44Everly! Shut up.
01:15:48Let go!
01:15:54Bella?
01:16:12Bella?
01:16:14Bella!
01:16:25Everly!
01:16:27Back here!
01:16:32It's impossible.
01:16:34Shh.
01:16:44This is Julian Barlow.
01:16:46I have your daughter, and if I don't
01:16:48get $200 million in cash by sundown,
01:16:50she won't see the sunrise.
01:16:52What did you do with Bella?
01:16:54Who is this?
01:16:56Ten million. Unmarked bills split into
01:16:58two separate duffel bags.
01:17:00Let me talk to Bella.
01:17:02I need to know she's safe.
01:17:04Only after I get the money.
01:17:06Damn you!
01:17:08There's an abandoned campsite at the end
01:17:10of Canyon Ridge Road.
01:17:12Put the cash inside the office cabin
01:17:14and come alone, because I'll be watching.
01:17:16When do I get Bella?
01:17:22What are we gonna do?
01:17:24I'll call my bank,
01:17:26and I'll get the money within an hour.
01:17:28Okay.
01:17:30Hello?
01:17:32Anybody?
01:17:34Hello?
01:17:36What is she doing here?
01:17:38I need an explanation for this.
01:17:40Mother, now is not the time for this.
01:17:42I had to learn from Kendra that you're not married at all,
01:17:44that you faked everything.
01:17:46What is this? This is for my sake.
01:17:48Combination was Bella's birthday.
01:17:50Thank you, Julian.
01:17:52How could you lie to your own mother
01:17:54and present this fraud as if she were actually your wife?
01:17:56I knew she was a gold digger,
01:17:58but I didn't know she was a tramp for hire.
01:18:00Silence!
01:18:04This is not important right now.
01:18:06That is just a piece of paper, Mother.
01:18:08I have to find Bella. She's been kidnapped.
01:18:10My grandbaby has been kidnapped?
01:18:12What happened?
01:18:14Bella and I were baking, and someone grabbed me.
01:18:16I blacked out,
01:18:18and when I woke up, she was gone.
01:18:22I have to get the ransom money together now,
01:18:24so if you two could please just...
01:18:26Just what?
01:18:28Stand aside and let you handle it?
01:18:30You brought this tramp into my daughter's home,
01:18:32and because of her, Bella's life is at stake.
01:18:36Ew.
01:18:38It smells.
01:18:40Did you just let common street trash walk in here?
01:18:42Don't talk about him like that.
01:18:44He served our country.
01:18:46I'm sorry, Bernie. I don't have the day off for you today.
01:18:50But I have something for you.
01:18:52That lady? I saw her.
01:18:54And a tall man.
01:18:58Go back and crawl into whatever hole you came out of,
01:19:00you filthy animal.
01:19:02I saw them.
01:19:06They took that little girl.
01:19:08You fucking bitch!
01:19:10What did you do? Where's Bella?
01:19:12He's obviously deranged.
01:19:14Or on drugs. Or both.
01:19:16A tall man.
01:19:18Did he have short, blonde hair?
01:19:20Athletic build?
01:19:24Nolan.
01:19:26She's working with Nolan.
01:19:28Where is she? Where is Bella?
01:19:30Tell me now!
01:19:32I...
01:19:38What the hell? Where's my daughter?
01:19:42Bella.
01:19:46Where is she?
01:20:02Daddy?
01:20:08My little escape artist.
01:20:10You can come out now, Munchkin.
01:20:12It's safe.
01:20:14Daddy and Evelyn are here.
01:20:26This is ridiculous!
01:20:28It's not kidnapping if it's your own child!
01:20:32This is ridiculous!
01:20:34It's not kidnapping if it's your own child!
01:20:36It's over.
01:20:38It's finally over.
01:20:40It's finally over.
01:20:42Isn't me and Mommy gone for good, Daddy?
01:20:44She'll never bother you again, Munchkin.
01:20:46I want you both to know that
01:20:48I'm very ashamed
01:20:50for my part in Kendra's scheme.
01:20:52But you can't continue
01:20:54this fake marriage.
01:20:56You're right, Mother.
01:21:00Everly Harper.
01:21:02Harper, you're the most loving,
01:21:04brave and talented woman I've ever known.
01:21:06Your beauty is just dessert
01:21:08after a rich meal.
01:21:10My life fills full with you in it.
01:21:12Will you do me the honor
01:21:14of marrying me?
01:21:16And me!
01:21:22Julian Barlow.
01:21:24If I was to create a recipe
01:21:26for the bravest, smartest,
01:21:28most loving man,
01:21:30it would be you.
01:21:32Your wealth is not a dessert,
01:21:34but a mere appetizer.
01:21:36So, yes,
01:21:38I will marry you.
01:21:40And you, too.
01:21:44I don't know what all that nonsense
01:21:46about food was,
01:21:48but the rest was lovely.
01:21:50I guess I'll give the girl a chance
01:21:52if she can make my son and grandbaby
01:21:54smile like that.
01:21:56Oh, my God.
01:22:04Oh, my gosh.
01:22:06Do you see that?
01:22:08Ooh!
01:22:10Ooh!
01:22:14So pretty!
01:22:20I helped make that!
01:22:22Yes, you did, Bella.
01:22:24family. I'm so happy for you. Thanks bestie. Mommy, how about a cake fight?
01:22:32You're a girl after my own heart, Bella. Everybody, cake fight!
01:22:54Couldn't you have gotten me something more practical? This is going to be a bear to bake
01:23:17with. Only my wife would complain about a 15 carat flawless diamond being too big.
01:23:23Sorry. I'm not. God, I love you. Hey, Mr. Barlow. Hey, Miss Barlow.
01:23:37Who said I was changing my name?
01:23:43On the topic of change, I've been thinking. Bella needs a playmate.
01:23:47What do you think we give her a sibling? Just one. Foster kid here. I always
01:23:54dreamed of having a big family. Well, how big are we talking?
