00:00:00Bella?
00:00:02Bella?
00:00:04Where did she go?
00:00:06The gardener says Miss Bella's not on the grounds.
00:00:08She's disappeared again.
00:00:10We'll tell the design team to go big or go home.
00:00:12We're not building some quaint bed and breakfast.
00:00:14This is a billion dollar
00:00:16Barlow resort on a private island off Dubai.
00:00:18We need to crush this.
00:00:20Crush!
00:00:22Crush!
00:00:24Crush!
00:00:26Steve, I have to call you back.
00:00:28I have to call you back.
00:00:30How did you get in here, Bella?
00:00:32My little escape artist.
00:00:38What am I going to tell Mr. Barlow?
00:00:40Pulse alarm.
00:00:42She's here, everyone.
00:00:46Thank God.
00:00:48I only took my eyes off her for a second.
00:00:50She needs a leash.
00:00:52I'm not a dog.
00:00:54No, a dog behaves better.
00:00:56Daddy.
00:00:58Okay, everyone, let's get back to it.
00:01:00These decorations aren't going to put themselves up.
00:01:02Miss Delilah, I'm sorry.
00:01:04I will be hiring a new nanny soon.
00:01:06How long do you think this is going to last?
00:01:08She's scared off three in a year.
00:01:10I don't want a nanny.
00:01:12I want a mommy.
00:01:14Oh.
00:01:24God, Everly.
00:01:26Can you see? It's a circus out there.
00:01:28Like a literal freaking circus.
00:01:30Oh my God, there's jugglers, there's clowns,
00:01:32there's even a man on stilts.
00:01:34Can you imagine having a birthday like this
00:01:36when you were just eight years old?
00:01:38Foster kid here.
00:01:40I used to blow out imaginary candles
00:01:42This is my favorite part.
00:01:46Somebody's a little too in touch with their inner child.
00:01:50When your mother proposed this blind date,
00:01:52I was a little hesitant.
00:01:54I just couldn't believe that
00:01:56any man can live up to the image
00:01:58that she painted.
00:02:00Yeah, she's very good at talking me up.
00:02:02In your case, she really
00:02:04didn't do you justice.
00:02:06I'd love to slip away from the crowd
00:02:08and get to know you better.
00:02:10You're at my eight-year-old's birthday party.
00:02:12I wasn't interested before, but now I want you to leave.
00:02:18Wait for it.
00:02:24Why, hello, Mother.
00:02:26Julian, Bianca is hysterical
00:02:28and you have embarrassed me.
00:02:30Well, stop setting me up with random women.
00:02:32I'm not getting married again. Once was enough.
00:02:34Kendra and the race car driver have ended it.
00:02:36Right now,
00:02:38you have sole custody of Bella.
00:02:40But the courts favor the mother, Julian.
00:02:42You and I both know Kendra could
00:02:44show up at any time and demand
00:02:46that Bella live with her just to spite you.
00:02:48I'm not letting that witch anywhere
00:02:50near my daughter.
00:02:52Find yourself a wife
00:02:54and show the world a stable family.
00:02:56Not for your own happiness,
00:02:58but for your child's!
00:03:04Mother might be dramatic,
00:03:06but she's right about Bella needing a mom.
00:03:08Perhaps a fake wife would do.
00:03:12Got vanilla for you.
00:03:14What's your favorite flavor?
00:03:16Chocolate!
00:03:18So, do you want to know
00:03:20what makes everything taste so good?
00:03:22The secret
00:03:24ingredient is
00:03:28love.
00:03:36Well,
00:03:38I'm so exhausted.
00:03:40I'm heading home. You coming?
00:03:42Let's stay and finish the engagement cake for tomorrow.
00:03:44Okay.
00:03:46Hey, Bernie!
00:03:48Let me grab you the day holds.
00:03:56Tell Rose and Pete I included the pecan cinnamon rolls
00:03:58just for them.
00:04:06Oh my gosh!
00:04:08You scared me!
00:04:10Where did you come from, sweetheart?
00:04:12Where are your parents?
00:04:14Are you lost?
00:04:16What's your name?
00:04:18I'm Everly.
00:04:20You don't want to tell me, huh?
00:04:24Guess I'll just have to guess.
00:04:26Your name
00:04:28is Olga.
00:04:30Gertrude.
00:04:32Prudence.
00:04:34Hazel.
00:04:36Constance.
00:04:38Phyllis.
00:04:40Henrietta?
00:04:42Bertha.
00:04:44It's Bella!
00:04:46The birthday girl.
00:04:48She must have stowed away in the truck.
00:04:50Bella!
00:04:56You scared me, Bella Barlow.
00:04:58Sorry, Daddy.
00:05:00What were you thinking?
00:05:02I found my mommy!
00:05:06I'm so sorry.
00:05:08She's never done anything like this.
00:05:10I want Everly to be my mommy.
00:05:12Bella Munchkin.
00:05:14Please.
00:05:16You know, my daddy has lots of money.
00:05:18All you have to do is marry him
00:05:20and be my mommy.
00:05:22Bella, you don't marry someone
00:05:24for money. You do it because you love them
00:05:26so much.
00:05:28It feels like they're a part of you.
00:05:30Like you can't picture
00:05:32your life without them.
00:05:34I know you're supposed
00:05:36to be my mommy.
00:05:38I'm engaged to
00:05:40someone else.
00:05:42Come on, Bella.
00:05:44We've taken up enough of
00:05:46Miss Harper's time.
00:05:54So a hot guy and a cute
00:05:56little girl were like, come be my insta-family?
00:05:58The little girl was. The dad was kind of
00:06:00mortified. Bella reminds me of
00:06:02what I was like after the car accident.
00:06:04Kept going up to perfect strangers
00:06:06looking for my parents.
00:06:08Just couldn't accept that they were gone.
00:06:14Hey, beautiful. I miss you already.
00:06:16When are you back from your business trip?
00:06:18I'm back Monday.
00:06:20We'll see each other then.
00:06:22Are you calling me from the bathroom?
00:06:24Uh, no. The guests
00:06:26next door are just really loud.
00:06:28I gotta go. I love you.
00:06:34Hello? Earth to Everly?
00:06:36What?
00:06:38I was just thinking about what I told the little girl.
00:06:40All the reasons you marry someone, but
00:06:42I've never actually felt any
00:06:44of those things. We better decide
00:06:46sooner rather than later. Well, Nolan and I
00:06:48have been together since high school.
00:06:50Loyalty counts for something.
00:06:52At least what we have is real.
00:07:00Okay, this hotel is huge.
00:07:02Where is the engagement party being held?
00:07:04Uh, restaurant.
00:07:06Okay, yes.
00:07:10I'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. Bella was very bad.
00:07:18But
00:07:20I'll take you to get ice cream if you're very good.
00:07:24I want cupcake.
00:07:26Nice try, kiddo.
00:07:28Okay.
00:07:48That must be the bride-to-be.
00:07:50Hey, delivery for the lovely bride.
00:07:52Can 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
00:08:04since high school, huh?
00:08:06Still a pathetic orphan with no
00:08:08money? Or taste?
00:08:10Olivia,
00:08:12this is your engagement party?
00:08:14Who would marry a raging
00:08:16bully like you? Everly,
00:08:18what are you doing here?
00:08:24Nolan, I...
00:08:26I don't understand.
00:08:28Isn't it obvious, you ignorant
00:08:30nobody?
00:08:32Nolan's been cheating on you.
00:08:34With me.
00:08:42Is it true, Nolan?
00:08:44I can explain.
00:08:46Is it true?
00:08:48You've been sleeping with Olivia?
00:08:50You saw how she treated me.
00:08:52She made my high school life a living
00:08:54hell. You hate her just as much
00:08:56as I do.
00:08:58Well, if that's hate sex,
00:09:00then sign me up for a lifetime of it.
00:09:04Nolan's a sexy beast, aren't you, darling?
00:09:06Oh, but you wouldn't
00:09:08know about that, Everly.
00:09:10Being the pity fuck that you are.
00:09:12You set this whole thing
00:09:14up, didn't you, Olivia?
00:09:16Did you think you could date both of us?
00:09:18Marry both of us?
00:09:20No.
00:09:22Nolan, you have to choose.
00:09:24You can be with me and live the good
00:09:26life, or
00:09:28you could be with this
00:09:30dirty orphan, who will
00:09:32always be poor,
00:09:34pathetic white trash her entire
00:09:36life, and who will
00:09:38drag you down with her.
00:09:44I'm sorry.
00:09:46I'm sorry, Everly. I just, I can't be poor.
00:09:48I can't.
00:09:50I'm so sorry.
00:10:00This isn't happening.
00:10:02I'm in some kind of post-high school
00:10:04nightmare where the mean girl still wins.
00:10:10I don't like her. She's mean.
00:10:12Hello, where did you come from?
00:10:14Is she an evil
00:10:16witch? You little shit.
00:10:18Who the hell let this wretched brat in here?
00:10:20Kate, watch your mouth, Olivia.
00:10:22You can't talk to her like that.
00:10:26I can say whatever the hell
00:10:28I want. And both of you,
00:10:30get out.
00:10:32And take this disgusting pig with you.
00:10:34It's garbage, just like you.
00:10:40What are you, crazy? You could have hurt her.
00:10:42Too bad I missed.
00:10:44Oh my
00:10:46God.
00:10:48Get off me.
00:10:52Choke on it, bitch.
00:10:58I'm gonna destroy you.
00:11:00Good luck with that.
00:11:02You already tried in high school, but I'm stronger now.
00:11:04Keep rolling with
00:11:06my blessing.
00:11:08Do something.
00:11:10Everly?
00:11:12Take it off her.
00:11:18Touch my kin, you're dead.
00:11:20Who the hell are you?
00:11:22I'm with her. Since when?
00:11:24That's none of your business.
00:11:28Oh, hold still.
00:11:30You have some frost in there.
00:11:34Stop, don't.
00:11:36It's Julian Barlow,
00:11:38heir of Barlow Hotels and Resorts.
00:11:40He owns this very hotel.
00:11:42You're lucky I don't sue you both for attempting
00:11:44to assault a minor. I didn't know it was your kid.
00:11:46So she's a poor girl,
00:11:48hurting her is okay? This party's over.
00:11:50You two are banned for life from every Barlow
00:11:52property in the world.
00:11:56So this is what having someone stand up for you feels like.
00:12:02They were bad, daddy.
00:12:04There's a lot of bad people
00:12:06out there, that's why you can't run off the way you did.
00:12:08That's how I really
00:12:10wanted to be with her.
00:12:12You need some rest.
00:12:14Go to the car.
00:12:16I love you, Edward.
00:12:22Thank you for
00:12:24protecting my daughter.
00:12:26Thank you for saving me from my cheating ex-fiancé.
00:12:32That sounds
00:12:34like a desperate man trying to win you back.
00:12:36Yeah.
00:12:38Not happening.
00:12:44Seems we have a problem,
00:12:46Miss Harper.
00:12:48My daughter's heart is set on you being
00:12:50her mother.
00:12:54You also have a problem with your ex
00:12:56not getting the message.
00:12:58I propose
00:13:00a pretend relationship. Like a fake
00:13:02marriage? Exactly.
00:13:04I can protect you from your ex-fiancé
00:13:06and you can help me protect Bella from herself
00:13:08and my ex, if she comes back
00:13:10into town. Is your ex really that
00:13:12bad? Kendra makes
00:13:14your high school nemesis look like a teddy bear.
00:13:16Do we have a deal?
00:13:18What if you want to be with someone
00:13:20for real?
00:13:22I won't.
00:13:24I've sworn I'm not going to get married again.
00:13:26...
00:13:28...
00:13:30...
00:13:32...
00:13:34Yes, Mr. Barlow.
00:13:36We have a deal.
00:13:48Tomorrow night is the annual
00:13:50charity gala. Black tie.
00:13:52There we'll introduce you to society.
00:13:54Why
00:13:56don't we start out slow?
00:13:58My mother will know if we don't show up
00:14:00as newlyweds. Didn't you say she lives
00:14:02in Paris?
00:14:04She has spies everywhere.
00:14:06Did you go to the gala with me?
00:14:08I don't know,
00:14:10Julian. I'm more flower
00:14:12than flair.
00:14:16We have a boutique at the hotel.
00:14:18I think the right dress
00:14:20will ease some of your stress.
00:14:22I'm still super
00:14:24uncomfortable with all this.
00:14:26I don't want to embarrass you
00:14:28at the gala. Are you always going to be
00:14:30this touchy about my money?
00:14:32Most women can't wait to spend it.
00:14:34I'm a baker, not a socialite.
00:14:36You've been
00:14:38hanging out with the wrong crowd.
00:14:42Maybe I have.
00:14:44Do you mind?
00:14:46My mother will want a picture of the newlyweds.
00:14:52Well, one other thing.
00:14:54Don't fall for me.
00:14:58Same goes for you.
00:15:10Boop.
00:15:14Well, hello, Mother.
00:15:16You're married?
00:15:18Who is this girl?
00:15:20Her name is Everly Harper.
00:15:22She's a sous-chef,
00:15:24cordon bleu trained,
00:15:26but she calls herself a baker.
00:15:28Ridiculous.
00:15:30Well, her parents died
00:15:32when she was six,
00:15:34and since then she's had no relatives.
00:15:36She became a ward of the state
00:15:38and bounced around
00:15:40foster care,
00:15:42never really having a permanent home.
00:15:44So she's an orphan without social connections.
00:15:46What are her financials?
00:15:48Well, she has some student loan debt,
00:15:50and her business is barely making it.
00:15:52Despite that,
00:15:54she's won numerous awards
00:15:56and competitions for her.
00:15:58Oh, my God.
00:16:00She's dirt poor.
00:16:02You've married a gold digger, Julian.
00:16:04Well, to be honest,
00:16:06my wealth is probably a bad thing in this case.
00:16:08She'd rather me be middle class.
00:16:10Well, then she's a fool.
00:16:12Who wouldn't want a billionaire husband?
00:16:14Well,
00:16:16Bella chose her to be her mother.
00:16:20Well, I'm just upset that my only son
00:16:22didn't inform me he was married.
00:16:24We'll be in touch.
00:16:30That went exactly as expected.
00:16:32Yay!
00:16:34I'm really gonna be my new mommy!
00:16:36I should start calling you my little spy.
00:16:38Why does she move in?
00:16:40Um,
00:16:42I'm not sure. We haven't had that discussion.
00:16:44And she's gonna bake me more magical cookies
00:16:46filled with love.
00:16:48Has she done that before?
00:16:50Well, yes.
00:16:52Soon she'll be here, and she'll bake you
00:16:54many things full of love.
00:16:56Whee! Whee!
00:17:04Wait. You fake Marion, Julie, and Barlow?
00:17:06I know. It's insane.
00:17:08Oh, my God.
00:17:10You do know that your hubby is worth, like, $100 billion, right?
00:17:12Very funny.
00:17:14He didn't.
00:17:16I'm not joking.
00:17:18Whoa. I've never seen that many zeros
00:17:20in one spot.
00:17:22Oh, my God. Bestie!
00:17:24You're literally married to one of the richest dudes on the planet.
00:17:26Olivia and her toes are totally gonna flip out.
00:17:28We have to go to the high school reunion next weekend.
00:17:30I thought you said we were skipping that.
00:17:32Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Not anymore.
00:17:34We are going.
00:17:36Oh, come on. Please, please, please.
00:17:38Think about it.
00:17:40Whee!
00:17:42Why would someone like him even want a pretend marriage?
00:17:44I mean, he's charming,
00:17:46handsome,
00:17:48brilliant, and a good dad.
00:17:50Like, he could easily find a real wife.
00:17:52Maybe he's just avoiding commitment.
00:17:54You know, classic playboy move.
00:17:56He doesn't strike me as that type.
00:17:58Look at you, playing the little protective wife
00:18:00already.
00:18:02Shut up.
00:18:04So, when does Miss Barlow make her big debut?
00:18:06Tonight, actually.
00:18:10Care to help me find a dress for some exclusive gala?
00:18:12Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
00:18:14Oh, my God. This is the most exclusive credit card
00:18:16of all credit cards.
00:18:18You can buy an island with this thing.
00:18:20I'm gonna be sick.
00:18:22I have to find a way to give it back to him.
00:18:24Everly Harper, you will do no such thing.
00:18:26Can you please just be a little selfish
00:18:28for the both of us and live a little?
00:18:32You're right.
00:18:34Let's do this.
00:18:40Okay, I can't do this.
00:18:42$40,000 for a dress is insane.
00:18:44You could feed an entire village for that price.
00:18:46Yeah, crazy world we live in.
00:18:48Hello, ladies.
00:18:50My name is Pilar.
00:18:52Should we try something on?
00:18:54It appears to be your size,
00:18:56but I do have a seamstress on sandbox.
00:18:58Can I maybe rent it instead?
00:19:00Rent?
00:19:02That'll be $1,000 a day,
00:19:04plus a $4,000
00:19:06for a dress.
00:19:08$1,000 a day, plus a $4,000
00:19:10security deposit.
00:19:12Can you afford that?
00:19:14Oh my goodness,
00:19:16what manual labor job do you do?
00:19:18I'm a baker.
00:19:20Absolutely no rental
00:19:22for you.
00:19:24Those rough worker hands will snag the delicate fabric.
00:19:26There's a thrift store
00:19:28down the way that might be more
00:19:30at your speed.
00:19:32You don't understand. I'm attending the annual Celestial Charity Gala tonight.
00:19:34It's strictly black tie.
00:19:36That's what we're doing at Celestial,
00:19:38the most exclusive event in town.
00:19:40I know.
00:19:42You must be a waitress handing out caravans.
00:19:44Just buy it, then.
00:19:48This is a black card.
00:19:50Uh, obviously.
00:19:52Held up at boutique.
00:19:54Not going too well.
00:20:00Well, well, well.
00:20:02This card belongs to Mr. Barlow.
00:20:04How did it end up in your hands?
00:20:06Mr. Barlow happens to be my
00:20:08best friend's husband.
00:20:10As if.
00:20:12You must have stolen it.
00:20:14Security, arrest these scammers
00:20:16for identity theft and fraud.
00:20:18Get your hands off of her, you animal.
00:20:26We're not thieves.
00:20:28You're making a mistake. The card was given to me.
00:20:30We're innocent.
00:20:34Get this trash
00:20:36out of my face.
00:20:40Let them go.
00:20:46Mr. Barlow,
00:20:48you're right on time. Okay, I just caught these scammers
00:20:50trying to charge $5,000
00:20:52to your car. $5,000?
00:20:54When have you ever sold a dress under $30,000?
00:20:56That was me.
00:20:58I was trying to rent it and said,
00:21:00no dress is worth that much.
00:21:02Don't fall for this innocent act.
00:21:04She's a clever scammer.
00:21:06Did you see anything you like?
00:21:08This one.
00:21:10But we were told to shop at the thrift shop.
00:21:12I'm Samantha, by the way.
00:21:14I've heard so much about you. Pleasure to meet you, Samantha.
00:21:16Pilar, my wife
00:21:18was looking to outfit herself for
00:21:20tonight's gala entirely through your
00:21:22boutique. Unfortunately,
00:21:24you cut up our card.
00:21:28So she...
00:21:30She really is your...
00:21:32wife?
00:21:34At Barlow, we believe in treating everyone
00:21:36with respect and dignity.
00:21:38Isn't your lease up in
00:21:4030 days?
00:21:42Mr. Barlow, I am so, so
00:21:44sorry. Okay, Mrs. Barlow, please, here.
00:21:46Take the dress. It's on the house.
00:21:48It's not necessary.
00:21:50Spill my account.
00:21:54And Barlow won't renew your lease.
00:21:56Not here, not anywhere.
00:21:58You're done, Pilar.
00:22:00I'll make sure you never work in retail
00:22:02again.
00:22:24I realize right now this is
00:22:26the first time I'm seeing the real Evelyn.
00:22:28You've been hiding in plain sight.
00:22:30You're right. George, look over here.
00:22:32Mr. Ploswell for the night?
00:22:34What's her name, man?
00:22:36I got you.
00:22:38What's her name?
00:22:50I feel like I don't fit in here.
00:22:52You don't fit in,
00:22:54and I will stand out.
00:22:56Don't be so obvious, Everly.
00:22:58You can't let yourself fall for him.
00:23:00It's true, everyone here is rich.
00:23:02But they're all human.
00:23:04Flaws and all.
00:23:06That's Chase and Daisy Harrington.
00:23:08They're in banking.
00:23:10I don't think you mean they work at the Teller Window.
00:23:12Chase can often be found
00:23:14at the dog trunk, and Daisy's a lush.
00:23:16She's probably spiked her
00:23:18wine with vodka already.
00:23:20Julian, that's awful.
00:23:22This is Nick Dubois,
00:23:24and her second husband.
00:23:26He's 25 years her junior.
00:23:28Men date women who are younger than them all the time.
00:23:30She was the PTA president,
00:23:32and he was in 9th grade with her son
00:23:34when they met, when they started their affair.
00:23:36Oh my God.
00:23:38I get it.
00:23:40I am no longer intimidated by anyone in here.
00:23:42Mission accomplished.
00:23:44Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:23:48Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:23:52I'm too old for surprises, mother.
00:23:54You flew from Paris for nothing.
00:23:56Nothing?
00:23:58You're making a fool of yourself
00:24:00with this gold digger.
00:24:02Miss Barlow, let's get two things straight.
00:24:04One, my name is
00:24:06Everly Harper.
00:24:08And two, I am not a gold digger.
00:24:10I have earned my keep since I was
00:24:12six years old, and I started my business from scratch.
00:24:14I don't need your money.
00:24:16But I would like your respect.
00:24:18So,
00:24:20I won't let anyone talk down to me,
00:24:22even if you are Julian's mother.
00:24:24Impudent girl.
00:24:26Meddling mother.
00:24:28Aren't you going to say anything?
00:24:30Meddling mother.
00:24:32I couldn't have put it better myself.
00:24:36I don't know what you did
00:24:38to trick my son into marriage,
00:24:40but I have my eye on you, Everly Harper.
00:24:42One false move,
00:24:44and you are through.
00:24:46Alright, that's enough.
00:24:48Enjoy your evening alone, mother.
00:25:00Everly, I want to apologize.
00:25:02My mother was
00:25:04out of line.
00:25:06She didn't expect it either.
00:25:08She's so determined, she won't back down.
00:25:10We need to make sure she doesn't start digging
00:25:12into the details of our marriage.
00:25:14So, what's our next steps?
00:25:16I want you to move in with me.
00:25:20It was going to happen sooner or later.
00:25:22Mother just expedited it.
00:25:24That goes to the kitchen.
00:25:28Living room.
00:25:30Living room.
00:25:32It's just all moving a little too fast.
00:25:34I mean, one minute, Julian's asking me
00:25:36to move in with him, and the next,
00:25:38movers are packing my stuff.
00:25:40But you gotta love a man that takes action, you know?
00:25:42You are oddly chipper about all this.
00:25:44I need to find a new roommate.
00:25:46I don't know, I think I'm going to try living alone for a while.
00:25:48Samantha, how can you afford that?
00:25:50The new landlord lowered everyone's rent.
00:25:52Since when?
00:25:54Since you became his fake bride.
00:25:56He knew that you felt bad for me,
00:25:58and so he bought the entire apartment complex
00:26:00and lowered everyone's rent.
00:26:02That's...
00:26:04That's insane.
00:26:06Everly, billionaires don't think
00:26:08like normal people, sweetie.
00:26:10This is your life now.
00:26:12Are we going to have gazpacho
00:26:14for dinner?
00:26:16If it pleases Miss Bella to have gazpacho.
00:26:18Hello!
00:26:20Okay, what can I get you today?
00:26:24You're welcome.
00:26:32Shouldn't take me longer than two days
00:26:34to inspect the site in Indonesia.
00:26:36Are you sure you can watch Bella?
00:26:38I haven't hired an ambulance yet.
00:26:40And she tires Miss Delaney out.
00:26:42Don't worry about us.
00:26:44You focus on work.
00:26:46Bella and I will be just fine.
00:26:48I'll take you to the bakery with me,
00:26:50so have a blast.
00:26:52Here's a detailed list of her routines,
00:26:54do's and don'ts, allergies,
00:26:56emergency contact information,
00:26:58all the information you'll ever need.
00:27:00Love soccer, allergic to strawberries,
00:27:02doctor's number.
00:27:04I'm impressed.
00:27:06I wouldn't have thought a CEO like you
00:27:08would be so nice to this kid.
00:27:10Well, you thought wrong.
00:27:12Bella means the world to me.
00:27:24Daddy, why are you staring at Emily
00:27:26like that?
00:27:28You like her.
00:27:30Sorry, she doesn't know what she's talking about.
00:27:32Sometimes kids have a way of knowing the truth.
00:27:34They also have a way of being annoying.
00:27:36Well anyways, me and Bun Bun
00:27:38wanted to play airplane.
00:27:40Alright Munchkin, you have one minute.
00:27:42Yippee!
00:27:44Ready?
00:27:46Yeah!
00:27:52So this is what a happy family looks like.
00:27:54Looks so nice.
00:27:56I wonder if we could be a real family someday.
00:27:58Just the three of us.
00:28:00Okay chef,
00:28:02what's on the menu today?
00:28:04Chocolate cupcakes
00:28:06and chocolate donuts
00:28:08and chocolate cake
00:28:10and chocolate chip cookies.
00:28:12I'm sensing a chocolate theme.
00:28:14Okay, it's time to get to work, chef.
00:28:16Whoopee, chef!
00:28:22Ta-da!
00:28:24What do you think, chef?
00:28:26Mmm,
00:28:28I can taste the love.
00:28:30What?
00:28:32The magic ingredient.
00:28:34I can taste it.
00:28:36That's good.
00:28:38Mmm,
00:28:40Emily,
00:28:42do you like my dad?
00:28:44Of course I like him.
00:28:46He's a great guy and a good dad.
00:28:48So you could become my mommy for real?
00:28:50Bella,
00:28:52I don't know what the future holds,
00:28:54but I know
00:28:56you have a very special place in my heart, okay?
00:28:58Okay.
00:29:04Whoa, that was fast.
00:29:06Okay,
00:29:08time for a rest.
00:29:12Daddy!
00:29:20Oh my god,
00:29:22I'm calling for him.
00:29:26Daddy!
00:29:28Did you miss me, Munchkin?
00:29:30So much, but I really surprised.
00:29:32I got to be a chef.
00:29:34And we had a movie marathon.
00:29:36And I got to sleep in sheep tents
00:29:38in the living room.
00:29:40And we ate in the kitchen with Mrs. Delaney
00:29:42who was all frowny, but then she was all smiley.
00:29:44I like the kitchen better
00:29:46than the dining room.
00:29:48Can we eat there from now on?
00:29:50Did you make some changes?
00:29:52Very minor ones.
00:29:54Oops, did I say something bad?
00:29:56No, Munchkin. Daddy's just learning his little set in his ways.
00:29:58You can do everything, dad,
00:30:00but you're a bad cook.
00:30:02And I really is way better at girl stuff.
00:30:04You're like the prince, and I really is the princess.
00:30:06And we can all live happily ever after.
00:30:08With fun ones, of course.
00:30:14Kids and their fairy tales.
00:30:16She'll understand that
00:30:18we can't be more than a pretend couple when she's older.
00:30:20Of course.
00:30:22She's still too little.
00:30:24We can't be more than a pretend couple.
00:30:26Right, it felt so real.
00:30:28I let myself forget it was a fake marriage.
00:30:30It can never be anything more.
00:30:40My God, you have to go.
00:30:42Oh, come on.
00:30:44Olivia and Nolan are going to gossip about us if you do not show your face tomorrow.
00:30:46I'm going to do that regardless.
00:30:48I'm sorry, Sammy. I thought about it, and I don't want to go to our high school reunion.
00:30:50Okay, hear me out.
00:30:52Just picture this.
00:30:54You walk in with your new, hot, billionaire husband.
00:30:56It's the perfect revenge for the mean girls
00:30:58that used to call us poor losers.
00:31:00No, I would never use Julian in that way.
00:31:02Well, the thing is, I already told them
00:31:04that you would be there with him.
00:31:06Okay, don't get upset.
00:31:08It's just that Olivia posted that we were lying skinks,
00:31:10and then I kind of just blew it from there.
00:31:12And then all of a sudden...
00:31:14It's three times worse.
00:31:16Don't worry, I'll go with you.
00:31:18I can't let my wife be humiliated.
00:31:20I came by to take you to dinner
00:31:22as a thank you for helping me with Bella.
00:31:24Did he really mean that?
00:31:26His wife?
00:31:28You should take the day off tomorrow and go pamper yourself.
00:31:30I'll make the arrangements with the hotel spa.
00:31:32On one condition.
00:31:34Can you make the reservation for two?
00:31:36I can do that.
00:31:44I want to get my nails done, too.
00:31:46What color do you want to get, Bella?
00:31:48The exact same as you.
00:31:50I also want to get some for Bun Bun.
00:31:52He looks great with those.
00:31:54You're so adorable.
00:31:56How could any mother abandon you?
00:31:58I wish you were really mine.
00:32:06Oh, my.
00:32:08Mr. Barlow said that you might need some help getting into it.
00:32:10I can't wear that, Miss Delaney.
00:32:12It's too beautiful
00:32:14and definitely way too expensive.
00:32:16Nonsense, dear.
00:32:18Mr. Barlow said to tell you
00:32:20you're the only one that can do it justice.
00:32:26Now let's see it on you.
00:32:34I want to thank you for the dress.
00:32:36I'll find a way to pay you back.
00:32:38Seeing you in it is payment enough.
00:32:40You are drop-dead gorgeous, Everly.
00:32:42It's not me.
00:32:44It's the dress.
00:32:46Why do you do that?
00:32:48Why do you downplay your beauty?
00:32:50I don't like to draw attention to myself.
00:32:52You shouldn't have to dim your light
00:32:54to make others feel good about themselves.
00:33:08Mr. Barlow, sir,
00:33:10there is a visitor here
00:33:12demanding to speak with you.
00:33:14I'm not expecting anyone.
00:33:16It's your ex-wife.
00:33:22It's your ex-wife.
00:33:30I put Miss Rossi in the guest room.
00:33:32Where's Bella?
00:33:34She's with Miss Delaney in the playroom.
00:33:36Good. We need to keep Bella away from Kendra.
00:33:40I have to deal with her.
00:33:42I'll join you at the reunion when I'm done.
00:33:44I can just not go.
00:33:46No. Kendra is not going to disrupt our plans.
00:33:48My driver will take you there. I promise.
00:33:54It's been so long, Julian.
00:33:56Not long enough. What do you want?
00:33:58I want my daughter.
00:34:00I want Bella.
00:34:06I heard
00:34:08Everly is coming to the reunion.
00:34:10I thought that she would
00:34:12never show her face here ever again.
00:34:14Everly?
00:34:16The foster kid weirdo?
00:34:18She destroyed my engagement party,
00:34:20so I'm going to destroy her tonight.
00:34:22Didn't Samantha say she's married to Julian Barlow?
00:34:24What if he's going to come with her?
00:34:26He might fuck her,
00:34:28but a Barlow is not going to marry trash like her.
00:34:36She should be mine.
00:34:56Eyes on me, Nolan.
00:34:58They really did recreate senior prom.
00:35:00Yep, all the ways.
00:35:02The tacky decorations and the cheesy DJ.
00:35:04My foster mom at the time
00:35:06helped make my dress, and it looked it.
00:35:08We didn't even get our first dance
00:35:10before Olivia told everyone I had an STD.
00:35:12That's right.
00:35:14And then Nolan couldn't take it, and he bailed?
00:35:16We should have known then that he was a dick.
00:35:18Yeah, I forgave him.
00:35:20No one could stand up for Olivia,
00:35:22myself included at that time.
00:35:24Let's slay this bitch.
00:35:26I mean the dance, of course.
00:35:28That dress looks like it cost a fortune.
00:35:30What do you think, Olivia?
00:35:32You're a fashion expert.
00:35:34It can't be the nightingale of Hanoi.
00:35:36That dress is worth millions.
00:35:40It's just a cheap knockoff.
00:35:42Come on, girls.
00:35:44Let's give Everly a high school reunion
00:35:46she'll never forget.
00:35:48Let's give Everly a high school reunion
00:35:50she'll never forget.
00:35:52Hey.
00:35:54Where's your husband?
00:35:56Julian's on his way.
00:35:58Shut up, loser. No one's talking to you.
00:36:00We all know he got bored and dumped you.
00:36:06Like, okay.
00:36:08Did you just fucking shrug at me?
00:36:10Apparently you've
00:36:12forgotten your place.
00:36:14Must be that dress giving you attitude,
00:36:16but it's a cheap knockoff just like you.
00:36:18I don't think it's a knockoff.
00:36:20It's a gift from my husband.
00:36:22Give it up, bitch.
00:36:24We all know you're lying
00:36:26your husband, your dress.
00:36:28I call bullshit.
00:36:30Grow up, Olivia.
00:36:32You're too old to still be a mean girl.
00:36:34Ugh!
00:36:40Ugh!
00:36:42Hey, no, no, no!
00:36:44Let go of me, Nolan!
00:36:46Get your hands off of her!
00:36:48Just because you're fucking a Barlow
00:36:50doesn't make you royalty.
00:36:52Take that fake dress off
00:36:54or I'll take it off for you.
00:36:56It's fake.
00:36:58You clueless bitch.
00:37:00I'm a fashion influencer.
00:37:02With 1.8 million
00:37:04followers, you expect me
00:37:06to believe that white trash like you
00:37:08are wearing the Nightingale
00:37:10of Hanoi gown
00:37:12valued at $10 million?
00:37:16That's why Julian grinned when I said
00:37:18I'd pay him back for the dress.
00:37:20Take it off.
00:37:22Ugh!
00:37:24Hey!
00:37:26No! Get off of her!
00:37:28Ugh!
00:37:30No!
00:37:32Let go!
00:37:34No!
00:37:36No!
00:37:38No!
00:37:40Stop!
00:37:42Get away from my wife!
00:37:46Get away from my wife!
00:37:52Yes!
00:38:00I'm sorry I'm late.
00:38:02The dress is ruined.
00:38:04Please tell me it wasn't worth millions of dollars.
00:38:06I can't tell you that.
00:38:08Apologize to my wife.
00:38:10Now!
00:38:12We were just joking.
00:38:14You know, fooling around.
00:38:16My wife was on the ground, soaking wet.
00:38:18Dressed torn.
00:38:20And harassment!
00:38:22My lawyer's not going to think that's funny.
00:38:24I sure as hell don't!
00:38:26Lawyers? Who the hell are you?
00:38:28That's Julian Barlow.
00:38:30He's one of the richest men in the world.
00:38:32Do you know how much this dress is worth?
00:38:34Every bead is a genuine,
00:38:36flawless diamond.
00:38:38Miss St. James, you just ruined a $10 million gown.
00:38:40Oh, shit.
00:38:42No.
00:38:44No.
00:38:46That can't be.
00:38:48That's all your assets, including your parents' house.
00:38:50Because the insurance company is coming for your ass.
00:38:52Then the police.
00:38:54Good luck finding a job in fashion
00:38:56after ruining one of the most famous dresses in the world.
00:39:00That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:39:04That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:39:06You did this.
00:39:08You set me up.
00:39:10You did it to yourself.
00:39:12Nolan, do something!
00:39:14I left the woman I love because you said we'd be rich
00:39:16and now you have nothing.
00:39:18You piece of shit.
00:39:20Nope.
00:39:24Don't do this.
00:39:26Please don't do this.
00:39:28I'm not the one you need to beg for forgiveness.
00:39:36I'm sorry, Everly.
00:39:38I never should have tormented you
00:39:40all of those years.
00:39:42You didn't deserve it.
00:39:44Why did you do it?
00:39:46Why me?
00:39:50Why me?
00:39:52Because even with your shitty clothes,
00:39:54your terrible hair,
00:39:56you were so beautiful.
00:39:58Everyone could see it.
00:40:00I would kill to look like you
00:40:02and you treated it like it was nothing.
00:40:04So you hated me
00:40:06because I was pretty and didn't shove it in people's faces?
00:40:08That is so messed up.
00:40:10Well, I was right to hate you.
00:40:12Look at you.
00:40:14You bagged a billionaire
00:40:16without even trying.
00:40:18Everly is beautiful inside and out.
00:40:20That's what draws people to her.
00:40:22You're done here.
00:40:24I'm not going to push any criminal charges,
00:40:26but the insurance company will be reaching out.
00:40:28You're on the hook for that dress.
00:40:30Oh, my God.
00:40:32I never thought that I'd see this in a lifetime.
00:40:34Please pinch me and tell me that I'm not dreaming.
00:40:36If you are, so am I.
00:40:38You want to get out of here?
00:40:40Yes, please.
00:40:54Bitches.
00:40:56Who knew that high school reunions
00:40:58would be this fun?
00:41:04Thank you for what you did.
00:41:06I never had anyone
00:41:08come to my rescue before.
00:41:10I enjoyed doing it.
00:41:12You matter to me, Everly.
00:41:14Me and Bella.
00:41:16Hey.
00:41:18Of course. I understand.
00:41:20Thank you again.
00:41:22Have a good night, Julian.
00:41:24Everly, wait.
00:41:26That came out wrong.
00:41:28What I meant was
00:41:30I have feelings for you,
00:41:32but I don't want to lose you on it.
00:41:34Kendra's betrayal of our marriage,
00:41:36it broke something inside of me,
00:41:38and I don't think I can commit
00:41:40to another woman.
00:41:42I just want to be with you.
00:41:44I'm not asking
00:41:46for anything else.
00:41:48You're so amazing, Julian,
00:41:50and I like everything about you.
00:41:52You just...
00:42:04Sir, is that you?
00:42:06I heard a noise.
00:42:10Yes, Mr. Gibson.
00:42:12You can go to bed.
00:42:14Yes, sir. Good night, sir.
00:42:16Ma'am.
00:42:18That was embarrassing.
00:42:20I haven't got caught like that
00:42:22since I was a little schoolboy.
00:42:24Do you think he saw us?
00:42:26He probably did,
00:42:28but he's not going to say anything.
00:42:30I want nothing more
00:42:32than to take you
00:42:34upstairs right now.
00:42:36Me too.
00:42:38You're so honest, Everly.
00:42:40It's one of the many things
00:42:42I admire about you.
00:42:44And although it's going to kill me,
00:42:46I want you to go to bed.
00:42:48You're too noble.
00:42:50No one's ever said that to me before.
00:42:54Good night, sweetheart.
00:42:58Now go
00:43:00before I change my mind.
00:43:04Did that just happen?
00:43:06Am I actually dating Julian Barlow?
00:43:14This is nice.
00:43:16Just holding your hand.
00:43:18What are we going to tell Bella?
00:43:20I don't want to get her hopes up,
00:43:22but we are dating now.
00:43:24Change of steps.
00:43:26We have to put her first.
00:43:28Have you always thought of others
00:43:30at the expense of yourself?
00:43:32That's why I was bullied so much growing up
00:43:34and why people take advantage of me.
00:43:36Don't say that.
00:43:38You're the best person I know, Everly.
00:43:40Now you have me,
00:43:42and I promise I won't let anyone
00:43:44hurt you anymore.
00:43:52So you think you can replace me
00:43:54with this whore, Julian?
00:43:56I'll find out when I get through with the both of you.
00:44:04So, this is your latest slut.
00:44:06Kendra, are you following me?
00:44:08I'm Bella's mother.
00:44:10I need to know what her father is doing
00:44:12and who he's doing.
00:44:14So you fuck the help now, Julian?
00:44:16Who I'm with is none of your business.
00:44:18You gave that right up three years ago
00:44:20when you cheated on me with my best friend.
00:44:22Then you abandoned your daughter
00:44:24at a club.
00:44:26That was ages ago.
00:44:28I've changed now.
00:44:30I'm ready to be a wife and mother
00:44:32and you can't let this homewrecker
00:44:34get in the way of what we can have.
00:44:36Everly is my wife now.
00:44:38And stay away from Bella.
00:44:40You don't have visitation rights.
00:44:42Oh, we'll see about that.
00:44:44I'm Bella's birth mother.
00:44:46That's never going to change.
00:44:48I can't lose my daughter, or we'll...
00:44:50You won't.
00:44:52Hello, sir.
00:44:54What can I get for you today?
00:44:56I need to ask a favor of you.
00:44:58Sorry.
00:45:00No freebies for men with mean ex-wives.
00:45:02No ex-wife.
00:45:04Just one wife
00:45:06right in front of me.
00:45:08I'm still working.
00:45:10I'll have to kick you out
00:45:12if you're not a paying customer.
00:45:14I'm sorry.
00:45:16I'm sorry.
00:45:18I'm sorry.
00:45:20I'll have to kick you out if you're not a paying customer.
00:45:22Then I'll pay now.
00:45:28I guess just bought
00:45:30the entire store.
00:45:32I need help from my favorite cake baker.
00:45:34Bella's Elementary School
00:45:36is hosting a bake sale
00:45:38and every family brings a homemade dessert
00:45:40and they all compete for first place.
00:45:42Would you want to
00:45:44go with us?
00:45:46You want me to be a part of your family?
00:45:48No. Can I be your neighbor's?
00:45:50Of course.
00:46:00No, you have to stir in the same direction
00:46:02clockwise 30 times.
00:46:04Wow. I had no idea
00:46:06you had to be so accurate.
00:46:08You do if you want to be the best.
00:46:12No, not like that. Like this.
00:46:18You are
00:46:20the worst student.
00:46:22I'm sorry I can't concentrate
00:46:24because my teacher's so hot.
00:46:38Everly
00:46:40and Daddy sitting in a tree.
00:46:42Can I
00:46:44as best I can be?
00:46:46I'm gonna get you.
00:46:48Come here.
00:47:06Hey, Bella.
00:47:08Remember me?
00:47:10No.
00:47:12I'm your mother.
00:47:14I want to lose my mom.
00:47:16I chose her. You little brat.
00:47:18You can't choose your mother. You're born with one
00:47:20and that's what you get.
00:47:22That's enough, Kindra.
00:47:24You're upsetting Bella and causing a scene.
00:47:26Whatever. Move aside.
00:47:28I'm going to win this bake sale
00:47:30and prove who the real mother is.
00:47:32Those are store-bought cookies.
00:47:34What is she thinking?
00:47:36No. She made those.
00:47:38Her family owns Rossi Cookies.
00:47:40They were franchised.
00:47:42Tell me your ex was a world-renowned baker.
00:47:44She doesn't have a tenth of your talent.
00:47:46Her grandma's the baker.
00:47:48She uses the recipes.
00:47:50There's not one creative bone in her body.
00:47:56Oh my God.
00:47:58That's amazing.
00:48:00I want to buy all of it.
00:48:02Who made this?
00:48:04Julian Barlow?
00:48:06I had no idea he was such
00:48:08a talented baker.
00:48:12Here, try mine.
00:48:14Not to brag, but the Rossi name
00:48:16is renowned in the world of desserts.
00:48:18Not bad,
00:48:20but nowhere near the Barlow's.
00:48:22I'm telling you all to taste it.
00:48:24It's simply magic in your mouth.
00:48:26I think we know who the winner is.
00:48:30Yay!
00:48:34You want to see magic?
00:48:36I'm going to make that bitch disappear.
00:48:38Abra-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.
00:49:00Emily!
00:49:02Hi!
00:49:04So lucky to run into you here.
00:49:06Oh.
00:49:08Oh, so.
00:49:10I owe you an apology for how weird
00:49:12I was to you earlier.
00:49:14In my defense, you'd have to be a mother
00:49:16to understand how it feels to see another woman
00:49:18raising a child.
00:49:20Do you have it in your heart to forgive me?
00:49:22It's Bella and Julian you owe an apology to, not me.
00:49:26Watch your back.
00:49:28There's a long line of women
00:49:30waiting to get their claws into Julian.
00:49:32Beautiful, sexy,
00:49:34sophisticated women
00:49:36who are suited to his lifestyle,
00:49:38pleasing his every want and desire.
00:49:40Is that some kind of threat?
00:49:44No.
00:49:46Just a cold, hard fact that you,
00:49:48Everly Harper,
00:49:50will never be more than a glorified babysitter
00:49:52to him.
00:49:54It's funny,
00:49:56because you'll never be more than a bitter memory to him.
00:50:00Now stop messing with our family.
00:50:02Next time,
00:50:04I won't be so nice.
00:50:08Next time,
00:50:10you'll be the psycho who drugged Julian's daughter.
00:50:18Can I ask you a question?
00:50:22Why did you choose me?
00:50:24Ooh.
00:50:26Where's this coming from?
00:50:28I mean, once Bella grows up
00:50:30and doesn't need a mom anymore,
00:50:32will you still want to be with me?
00:50:34Everly, sweetheart,
00:50:36I love you.
00:50:38It's just, I'm not like
00:50:40the society women you've dated in the past.
00:50:42What if you get bored with me?
00:50:48Imagine dating someone
00:50:50who barely eats because they're watching their figure
00:50:52and spends more time with their plastic surgeons
00:50:54than with their family.
00:50:56You mean these society women?
00:51:00You're so bad.
00:51:02I'm sorry.
00:51:04Why did Kendra get in my head?
00:51:06When did she see Kendra?
00:51:10It's Bella's school.
00:51:12This is Julian Barlow.
00:51:16Emergency room.
00:51:18Uh-huh.
00:51:20I understand. I'm on my way.
00:51:22What's going on? Is Bella okay?
00:51:24The school nurse said that she was poisoned.
00:51:26Something she ate. Something about a lollipop.
00:51:34Bella is asleep.
00:51:36Fortunately,
00:51:38the lab results just showed that it was
00:51:40a common prescribed sedative that was on the lollipop.
00:51:42How does this happen? I don't understand.
00:51:44I have to ask,
00:51:46have you had any threats
00:51:48recently or encountered any suspicious characters?
00:51:52I came as soon as I heard.
00:51:54How is our precious Bella?
00:51:56She's coming along.
00:51:58Poison? My God.
00:52:00What kind of monster would poison an innocent child?
00:52:02With a lollipop, no less.
00:52:04I'm sorry.
00:52:06Doctor, did you say lollipop?
00:52:08The perpetrator poisoned
00:52:10Julian and my daughter
00:52:12with a lollipop.
00:52:14Well, that's interesting
00:52:16because I ran into Everly
00:52:18at the bakery yesterday
00:52:20and I saw one of Bella's favorite
00:52:22rainbow-colored lollipops.
00:52:24Are you suggesting that I had something
00:52:26to do with this?
00:52:28You gave Bella that lollipop, did you not?
00:52:32I did, but...
00:52:34I can't believe this.
00:52:36Our precious Bella,
00:52:38our little angel,
00:52:40drugged by yet another baby.
00:52:42I did no such thing. I would never...
00:52:44Wait, hold on. Bella's been poisoned before?
00:52:46Is this true, Julian?
00:52:48When she was 18 months old,
00:52:50I had a babysitter.
00:52:52I haven't been able to trust anyone
00:52:54since then, just you.
00:52:56But now I...
00:52:58Now what?
00:53:00I'll tell you what.
00:53:02You're not coming near Bella ever again.
00:53:06No, no, this can't be real.
00:53:08You know I would never hurt Bella.
00:53:10You know I love her like she's my own daughter.
00:53:12Oh, but she's not.
00:53:14She's ours.
00:53:16Julian, will you be calling
00:53:18security or shall I?
00:53:20Julian,
00:53:22will you be calling security or shall I?
00:53:24Why?
00:53:28Everly, I'm sorry.
00:53:30I'm sorry for ever doubting you,
00:53:32even for a second.
00:53:34I know that you could never harm Bella.
00:53:36Not because you're my wife, but because
00:53:38of your loving heart.
00:53:40Julian, what are you saying? She's dangerous!
00:53:42Stop, Kendra, just stop!
00:53:44But...
00:53:46Look at the evidence.
00:53:48Everly bought the rainbow-colored lollipop for Bella.
00:53:50Who else could have tampered with it?
00:53:52How did you know
00:53:54it was a rainbow lollipop?
00:53:56No one mentioned
00:53:58what color it was.
00:54:00No, you switched them.
00:54:02At the bakery parking lot, that's why you were there.
00:54:06You drugged your own daughter just to frame me?
00:54:08What kind of sicko does that?
00:54:10You can't prove that.
00:54:12But your prescription medicine can.
00:54:14Julian, stop! That's not mine!
00:54:16She's been taking Saniv since I met her.
00:54:18That's exactly
00:54:20how you found Bella's system.
00:54:22You psychotic bitch!
00:54:24First you tried to kill my daughter,
00:54:26now you're trying to frame my wife?
00:54:28It's common. It could be found from anywhere.
00:54:30It could have been anyone.
00:54:32It could have been you.
00:54:34It was you, wasn't it?
00:54:36I'm telling you, it wasn't me!
00:54:40Bella's waking up.
00:54:46Thank God she's okay.
00:54:48The thought of losing her
00:54:50was too much to bear.
00:54:52We don't have to think about that.
00:54:54She has you.
00:54:56I have you.
00:54:58And we all have each other.
00:55:00Whatever comes our way,
00:55:02that's what family's for.
00:55:04That's what it means to love.
00:55:06And be loved.
00:55:08Exactly.
00:55:12Stop it. We're in the children's ward.
00:55:14I'm pretty sure all these doctors
00:55:16and nurses know how babies are born.
00:55:18Is that me?
00:55:22Mommy?
00:55:24Daddy?
00:55:26Brain check?
00:55:28Or you can count on it.
00:55:30Is that my little munchkin in there making noise?
00:55:34Welcome in.
00:55:36What gang is that?
00:55:38No.
00:55:40What, is there a rule against
00:55:42selling a cake to your ex?
00:55:44Look,
00:55:46Everly, I'm sorry. I made a big mistake.
00:55:48I'll admit that, but I've changed.
00:55:50I left Olivia, and I just
00:55:52want to start fresh. I want to do this again.
00:55:54Are you serious?
00:55:56Yes, it was all Olivia's doing. You know how manipulative
00:55:58she can be. And I
00:56:00only loved you the entire time.
00:56:02You think Julian... Julian's a multi-billionaire.
00:56:04You think he'd really go for someone like you?
00:56:06I mean, get real, Everly.
00:56:08If he doesn't love you,
00:56:10I do.
00:56:12I would die without you.
00:56:16Get the hell
00:56:18out of my bakery.
00:56:20You little fucking bitch.
00:56:22No one's gonna come to save you.
00:56:26Stay away from my wife!
00:56:28Last warning!
00:56:30Stay away from her or I'll break more than just your arm.
00:56:32Motherfucker.
00:56:34If I can't have her, no one can.
00:56:42Thank you for stepping in, Julian.
00:56:44I wish I could be here all the time, but I can't.
00:56:46Nolan.
00:56:48It's gonna be a problem.
00:56:50I can't exactly lock my doors.
00:56:52Don't work by yourself anymore.
00:56:54Make sure Samantha's with you.
00:57:00I'm in for the lunch, kid.
00:57:06I have to pick her up right now.
00:57:08We'll see you later?
00:57:10Stay alert.
00:57:26And the hits
00:57:28keep coming.
00:57:30First my ex, now his.
00:57:32Will 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
00:57:48with Bella's mom.
00:57:50We've tried.
00:57:52She's turned every attempt against us,
00:57:54including Bella.
00:57:56I can't risk
00:57:58losing my daughter.
00:58:00How can I help
00:58:02protect Bella?
00:58:04No, Everly, it's not your fight.
00:58:06Yes it is. Contract or not, you and I are in this together.
00:58:08I can't stand by
00:58:10while you and Bella suffer.
00:58:32What if Bella makes up?
00:58:34She hungry that years ago.
00:58:36I'm skeptic.
00:58:38I know.
00:59:06I know.
00:59:24What are your thoughts on a family date?
00:59:26The three of us.
00:59:28You wanna go on a picnic?
00:59:32I'll go wherever you'll take me.
00:59:36So where did you get Bun Bun?
00:59:38When I was three years old.
00:59:40Yep, we were outside
00:59:42and she saw a rabbit run across the yard
00:59:44and she looked at me and reached her hands out
00:59:46and I said, no, you can't have a wild animal.
00:59:48So she started crying.
00:59:50So naturally I got her Bun Bun
00:59:52the next day.
00:59:54Naturally.
01:00:00My baby.
01:00:02Come to mom.
01:00:04What are you doing here?
01:00:06You look like a stalker.
01:00:08I'm still your mother.
01:00:10And I brought your favorite food.
01:00:12Strawberries.
01:00:14Everly loves me more than you.
01:00:16And I love her too.
01:00:18And I can't eat strawberries.
01:00:20Darling.
01:00:22That woman is just after daddy's money.
01:00:24You're lying.
01:00:26I hate you.
01:00:28You can't talk to me like that.
01:00:30I'm your mother.
01:00:32Everly is my mommy.
01:00:34You're scary.
01:00:36You little brat.
01:00:38Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:00:40Mommy, daddy.
01:00:42Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:00:44Mommy, daddy.
01:00:46Kendra, what the hell?
01:00:48I'm trying to protect my daughter
01:00:50from this fucking bitch.
01:00:52Hey, watch your language in front of Bella.
01:00:54Strawberries? Kendra, are you insane?
01:00:56Bella's deathly allergic.
01:00:58How was I supposed to know?
01:01:00You never let me see the baby.
01:01:02That's a lie. You abandoned her.
01:01:04Shut up, you lying gold digger.
01:01:06I'm twice the mother that you'll ever be.
01:01:08Bella!
01:01:10Come back, sweetie.
01:01:12She's overwhelmed. You're scaring her.
01:01:14You know nothing about my daughter.
01:01:16But I know about you.
01:01:18You're just a foster kid.
01:01:20One step up from the gutter.
01:01:22Bella and I both know
01:01:24that Everly is the best thing
01:01:26to happen to this family.
01:01:28Bella, sweetie.
01:01:30You can't possibly think that this poor
01:01:32substitute is better than a real mother.
01:01:34We have the same blood.
01:01:36You're part Rossi.
01:01:38You can't ask your daughter that.
01:01:40Shut up!
01:01:42Kendra, this isn't some game that you can win.
01:01:44This is Bella and Julian's lives.
01:01:46I don't know why, but you
01:01:48abandoned them.
01:01:50You trying to snatch them back just so you can win
01:01:52won't make you happy. You have to move on.
01:01:54You have to move on.
01:01:58I know
01:02:00I don't deserve her.
01:02:02But I found out last month that
01:02:04I'm infertile.
01:02:06I can never have another baby.
01:02:08Bella's it for me.
01:02:20I know
01:02:22she's done some bad things.
01:02:24But she's still your mother, Bella.
01:02:26Why don't you go give her a hug?
01:02:30I don't really hate you.
01:02:32I know, baby.
01:02:36It's all my fault.
01:02:42You're right.
01:02:44I only wanted to win.
01:02:46You can win a game,
01:02:48but you can never win someone's heart.
01:02:50You're very wise.
01:02:52Don't get me wrong,
01:02:54I don't want to be your friend.
01:02:56I'm just trying to leave my daughter
01:02:58with a happy memory.
01:03:02Take care, Kendra.
01:03:04Maybe one day I'll let Bella write you.
01:03:06She's older.
01:03:10Bye, sweetie.
01:03:14She fell for my sob story.
01:03:16Stupid bitch.
01:03:18I won't stop until I get my man back
01:03:20and the kid with him.
01:03:24Oh!
01:03:26What's all this for?
01:03:30100th Annual International Bake-Off.
01:03:32Sounds like a big deal.
01:03:34It's invitation only,
01:03:36and I can't believe I got in.
01:03:38If I do well, it'll really help
01:03:40put the bakery on the map.
01:03:42Well, given how you rocked that bake sale,
01:03:44you've got this in the bag.
01:03:46That was nothing.
01:03:48I need a showstopper that's gonna dazzle their taste buds
01:03:50and win over their hearts.
01:03:52Hmm.
01:03:54So what's the secret weapon?
01:03:56Vanilla rosemary five-layer cake
01:03:58topped with a lavender buttercream
01:04:00and a hint of orange zest.
01:04:02Sounds like I need to clear some space
01:04:04on the mantle for that first-place trophy.
01:04:06Cut it out!
01:04:08I'm trying to concentrate.
01:04:10Oh. Am I distracting you?
01:04:12I'm a sucker for a messy apron.
01:04:16Okay, fine.
01:04:18You can stay, but you have to leave.
01:04:20Okay, fine. You can stay,
01:04:22but you have to make yourself useful.
01:04:24What's first, chef?
01:04:28Ladies and gentlemen,
01:04:30welcome to our 100th Annual International Bake-Off.
01:04:32Please find your seat.
01:04:34Our competition will start shortly.
01:04:42You got this, girl.
01:04:44We'll be on the front row cheering you on, okay?
01:04:46Thanks, Sammy.
01:04:48One more time?
01:04:52Knock them dead out there, sweetheart.
01:04:56Good luck.
01:05:04There you are,
01:05:06falling nicely into my trap.
01:05:08Who do you think arranged the invite,
01:05:10you pathetic nobody?
01:05:18Hey, Everly.
01:05:20Ready to get crushed.
01:05:22What are you doing here?
01:05:24Are you stalking me?
01:05:26You look scared.
01:05:28You should be.
01:05:30I'm going to win that trophy
01:05:32and prove who's the better baker and mother.
01:05:34I'm infertile.
01:05:36I can never have another baby.
01:05:38So everything you said at the park was a lie.
01:05:40You're not infertile.
01:05:42You just can't stand that Bella chose me.
01:05:44I'm her fucking mother, bitch.
01:05:46You're a monster.
01:05:48And you're just an amateur
01:05:50who doesn't deserve to be here.
01:05:52Did you really think
01:05:54you earned a place in this competition?
01:05:56I'm the one who got the judges to invite you
01:05:58and now Julian's going to see
01:06:00what a poor orphan loser you truly are.
01:06:04Bring it on, Rossi.
01:06:06My recipe has heart and soul
01:06:08and they will beat your assembly line crap
01:06:10any day.
01:06:12Oh, yeah?
01:06:14Do you know what goes great with cake?
01:06:16What?
01:06:18Coffee.
01:06:20Oops.
01:06:22Oops.
01:06:28What the hell?
01:06:30You better go get cleaned up.
01:06:32I wouldn't want to meet the judges
01:06:34looking like that.
01:06:36So unsanitary.
01:06:42Your knight in shining armor
01:06:44can't save your ass this time.
01:06:46Never, Lee.
01:06:48Our next competitor,
01:06:50Kendra Rossi.
01:06:56Hi, judge.
01:06:58This is my own
01:07:00one-of-a-kind original recipe.
01:07:02I'm going to show you
01:07:04how it's done.
01:07:06I'm going to show you
01:07:08how it's done.
01:07:10My original recipe.
01:07:12A
01:07:14vanilla rosemary
01:07:16five-layer cake with lavender buttercream
01:07:18and a hint of orange zest.
01:07:20That's my cake!
01:07:24What are you talking about?
01:07:26You stole my recipe.
01:07:28A nobody accusing me,
01:07:30a Rossi,
01:07:32of cheating?
01:07:34How dare you?
01:07:36Man, you have impeccable
01:07:38taste in women because obviously you chose Everly.
01:07:40But that woman up there?
01:07:42How did you end up with such a nightmare ex?
01:07:44I was young.
01:07:46And stupid.
01:07:48Yeah, obviously.
01:07:50So what are we going to do to salvage this?
01:07:52Can't you just pull some strings or something?
01:07:54You're Julie and freaking Barlow, for goodness sake.
01:07:56It's not that simple.
01:07:58I know Everly wouldn't want to win that way.
01:08:00Dammit.
01:08:02So what do we do now?
01:08:04Kendra can't get away with this.
01:08:06A nobody
01:08:08accusing me, a Rossi,
01:08:10of cheating?
01:08:12How dare you?
01:08:16Oops!
01:08:18You better go get cleaned up.
01:08:20Wouldn't want to meet the judges looking like that.
01:08:22So that's why you spilled coffee on me.
01:08:24So you could hack my laptop
01:08:26behind my back the same way you switched
01:08:28the lollipops behind my back when you poisoned Bella.
01:08:32That is a serious accusation.
01:08:34Can you prove
01:08:36that this cake is your creation?
01:08:38Here's your proof.
01:08:46We can't see
01:08:48anything. The screen is blank.
01:08:52We can't see anything.
01:08:54The screen is blank.
01:08:56What happened to my files? They're not there.
01:08:58As I said,
01:09:00this recipe is mine and mine alone.
01:09:02No, no, no, no!
01:09:04It's not true! Kendra Rossi, you're a thief!
01:09:06I think we've heard enough.
01:09:08Sir, I know this recipe,
01:09:10my recipe by heart. I can recite it from memory.
01:09:12I'm afraid that doesn't
01:09:14prove anything.
01:09:16Now, I think it's best
01:09:18that you leave the stage now
01:09:20before I have to disqualify you.
01:09:22Isn't that
01:09:24the baker from Sweet Escape Bakery?
01:09:26Not going to her shop
01:09:28ever.
01:09:32Wait!
01:09:36Wait!
01:09:38This will prove the recipe
01:09:40is Everly's.
01:09:46Now, you're going to
01:09:48want to let it cool for about ten minutes.
01:09:50Hey, back on me. This is
01:09:52the important part. The last step
01:09:54is to lightly dust with a layer of orange
01:09:56zest, just enough to reach the edges.
01:10:02And then,
01:10:04you're going to want to add
01:10:06a pinch of salt.
01:10:08And,
01:10:10voila! You'll see the time
01:10:12stamp of this raw footage was
01:10:14taken two weeks ago.
01:10:16And speaking from experience,
01:10:18no one can make this cake
01:10:20exactly like my wife.
01:10:28Something's different.
01:10:30Taste for yourself.
01:10:38Salt.
01:10:40It's missing the salt. I didn't include it in my recipe notes.
01:10:42It was a last-minute, spur-of-the-moment addition.
01:10:44Totally spontaneous.
01:10:46And yet, it made all the difference
01:10:48in the world. Salt?
01:10:50Salt?
01:11:00Salt?
01:11:08Salt or not,
01:11:10this is no ordinary cake.
01:11:12And it
01:11:14could only come from the
01:11:16heart and soul of
01:11:18an extraordinary baker.
01:11:24You almost
01:11:26ruined my wife today! This is your last
01:11:28straw. Confess, or I'm calling the police!
01:11:30But I didn't.
01:11:32Okay, okay!
01:11:36I did it.
01:11:38I did it.
01:11:40All of it. Are you happy
01:11:42now? Dragging me in the mud like this
01:11:44in front of everyone? Julian,
01:11:46you broke my heart! You have to
01:11:48have a heart for it to be broken.
01:11:50How can you say that?
01:11:52I loved you more
01:11:54than anything. And then this bitch
01:11:56gets into the picture and suddenly I'm nothing?
01:11:58Just some garbage you
01:12:00can throw away?
01:12:02What is so special about her, Julian?
01:12:04She's not prettier than me.
01:12:06She can't be better in bed than me.
01:12:08What do you possibly see in her that you don't see in me?
01:12:10Maybe I'm just a
01:12:12better baker than you, Kendra.
01:12:16Here. Have a taste.
01:12:18I don't want your stupid salt.
01:12:20It smells
01:12:22disgusting. It smells
01:12:24like a rotten potato chip
01:12:26and Bella could have made a better cake
01:12:28than that.
01:12:32I don't even
01:12:34know what to say about everything that's
01:12:36going on here. Say I can present
01:12:38my cake. That's all
01:12:40I came here to do, sir.
01:12:42Fair enough. The ingredients
01:12:44in my cake are pretty traditional in terms of
01:12:46regular cake ingredients. I like the rosemary because
01:12:48it tends to cut through the sweetness
01:12:50of traditional cakes while also balancing
01:12:52the orange zest aromatic flavoring
01:12:54that we really look for in a well-balanced
01:12:56cake. I also, not
01:12:58listed, I add a little bit of salt on top
01:13:00just to balance everything out and
01:13:02I hope you really like it.
01:13:12We have seen a lot
01:13:14of great bakes this year, but
01:13:16nothing in the history of this
01:13:18competition has ever compared
01:13:20to this year's first
01:13:22prize winner, Everly
01:13:24Harper. This year's
01:13:26first prize winner, Everly
01:13:28Harper.
01:13:32Congratulations, Miss Harper.
01:13:34Truly well-deserved.
01:13:36Would you excuse me?
01:13:42Oh, we did it, Samantha.
01:13:44Oh, we did it, Samantha. We did it.
01:13:46No, Everly, you did this.
01:13:48Hold on.
01:13:52Listen to this. Orders are flooding in
01:13:54like crazy.
01:13:56No, I've got this. Trust me.
01:13:58Now get out of here. Go celebrate
01:14:00with your hubby.
01:14:02Yeah?
01:14:04I am so proud of you,
01:14:06Everly.
01:14:15Get lost.
01:14:17I'm more likely to stick a bitch than suck a
01:14:19dick right now. Good.
01:14:21Then we both want the same thing.
01:14:23Yeah?
01:14:25What's that? Revenge.
01:14:27I've spent the last two weeks
01:14:29learning everything I can about Julian
01:14:31Barlow and Everly Harper's relationship.
01:14:33And I think what I found might
01:14:35interest you.
01:14:37Who the fuck are you?
01:14:39I'm someone that hates Julian,
01:14:41and I heard you're someone that hates Everly.
01:14:44So I have a plan that'll get us both
01:14:46what we want.
01:14:48I'm listening.
01:14:56Am I doing it right?
01:14:58Those look great. Um, just squeeze
01:15:00your bag a little bit tighter. More icing
01:15:02equals more smiles.
01:15:06Okay, time to switch to croissants.
01:15:08Oh, the chocolate filled kind?
01:15:10All different kinds. Can you
01:15:12go in the freezer in the back and get
01:15:14me two blocks of butter? They are
01:15:16left side, middle shelf. Left side, middle
01:15:18shelf, two blocks. Got it.
01:15:36You're coming with me, Bella. I'm your
01:15:38mother, not that whore.
01:15:40Everly! Save your breath, kid.
01:15:44She can't hear you anyway.
01:15:46Everly! Everly!
01:15:48Shut up!
01:15:52Let go!
01:16:10Bella?
01:16:14Bella?
01:16:16Bella? Bella!
01:16:28Everly!
01:16:30Back here!
01:16:36Tits.
01:16:38Shit.
01:16:48This is Julian Barlow.
01:16:50I have your daughter, and if I don't get
01:16:52200 million in cash by sundown,
01:16:54she won't see the sunrise.
01:16:56What did you do with Bella? Who is this?
01:16:58Ten million. Unmarked bills
01:17:00split into two separate duffel bags.
01:17:02Let me talk to Bella.
01:17:04I need to know she's safe.
01:17:06After I get the money. Damn you!
01:17:08She's just a little girl. There's an abandoned
01:17:10campsite at the end of Canyon Ridge Road.
01:17:12Put the cash inside the office
01:17:14cabin and come alone.
01:17:16Cause I'll be watching.
01:17:18When do I get Bella?
01:17:26What are we gonna do?
01:17:28I'll call my bank,
01:17:30and I'll get the money within an hour.
01:17:32Okay.
01:17:34Hello?
01:17:36Anybody?
01:17:38Hello? What is she doing here?
01:17:40I need an explanation for this.
01:17:42Mother, now is not the time for this.
01:17:44I had to learn from Kendra that you're
01:17:46not married at all, that you fake everything.
01:17:48What is this? This is from my
01:17:50sage. Combination with Bella's
01:17:52birthday. Very sloppy
01:17:54of you, Julian. How could you lie
01:17:56to your own mother and present
01:17:58this fraud as if she were actually
01:18:00your wife? I knew she was a gold digger,
01:18:02but I didn't know she was a tramp for hire.
01:18:04Silence!
01:18:06This is not
01:18:08important right now. That is just a piece of
01:18:10paper, Mother. I have to find Bella.
01:18:12She's been kidnapped. My grandbaby
01:18:14has been kidnapped? What happened?
01:18:16Bella and I were baking,
01:18:18and someone grabbed me.
01:18:20I blacked out,
01:18:22and when I woke up, she was gone.
01:18:24I have
01:18:26to get the ransom money together now, so if you two
01:18:28could please just... Just what?
01:18:30Stand aside and let you
01:18:32handle it? You brought this
01:18:34tramp into my daughter's home, and because of her,
01:18:36Bella's life is at stake.
01:18:40Ew. It smells.
01:18:42Did you just let common
01:18:44street trash walk in here? Don't talk about
01:18:46him like that. Bernie is a veteran. He served
01:18:48our country.
01:18:50I'm sorry, Bernie. I don't have the day offs for you
01:18:52today. But I have something
01:18:54for you, bad lady.
01:18:56I saw her, and a
01:18:58tall man.
01:19:02Go back and crawl into whatever hole you
01:19:04came out of, you filthy animal.
01:19:06I saw them.
01:19:10They took that
01:19:12little girl. Fucking bitch!
01:19:14What did you do? Where's
01:19:16Bella? He's obviously deranged.
01:19:18Or on drugs. Or both.
01:19:20A tall man. Did he have
01:19:22short, blonde hair?
01:19:24Athletic build?
01:19:28Nolan. She's working
01:19:30with Nolan. Where is she?
01:19:32Where is Bella? Tell me
01:19:34now!
01:19:36I...
01:19:42What the hell? Where's my daughter?
01:19:50Where is she?
01:19:58Daddy?
01:20:06Daddy?
01:20:12My little escape artist.
01:20:14You can come out now, Munchkin.
01:20:16It's safe.
01:20:18Daddy and Evelyn are here.
01:20:24Hey.
01:20:28This is ridiculous!
01:20:30It's not kidnapping if it's your own child!
01:20:34This is ridiculous!
01:20:36It's not kidnapping if it's your own child!
01:20:40It's over.
01:20:42It's finally over.
01:20:44Isn't me and mommy
01:20:46gone for good, daddy?
01:20:48She'll never bother you again, Munchkin.
01:20:50I want you both to know that
01:20:52I'm very ashamed for my part
01:20:54in Kendra's scheme.
01:20:56But you can't continue
01:20:58this fake marriage.
01:21:00You're right, mother.
01:21:04Everly Harper,
01:21:06you're the most loving,
01:21:08brave, and talented woman I've ever
01:21:10known. Your beauty is just
01:21:12dessert after a rich meal.
01:21:14My life feels full with you
01:21:16in it. Will you do me
01:21:18the honor of marrying me?
01:21:20And me!
01:21:26Julian Barlow,
01:21:28if I was to create
01:21:30a recipe for the bravest,
01:21:32smartest, most loving man,
01:21:34it would be you.
01:21:36Your wealth
01:21:38is not a dessert, but a mere appetizer.
01:21:40So, yes,
01:21:42I will marry you.
01:21:44Any two.
01:21:48I don't know what all
01:21:50that nonsense about food was,
01:21:52but the rest was lovely.
01:21:54I guess I'll give the girl
01:21:56a chance if she can make my son and
01:21:58grandbaby smile like that.
01:22:00Happy birthday.
01:22:04Look at this.
01:22:06Can you see that?
01:22:16So pretty.
01:22:22I helped make that.
01:22:24Yes, you did, Bella.
01:22:26Have you guys ever seen such
01:22:28Beautiful family. I'm so happy for you. Thanks bestie
01:22:33Mommy how about a cake fight your girl after my own heart Bella
01:22:58You
01:23:18Couldn't you've gotten me something more practical
01:23:20This is gonna be a bear to bake with only my wife would complain about a 15 karat flawless diamond being too big
01:23:27Sorry
01:23:29I'm not
01:23:33God I love you
01:23:36Hey, mr. Barlow
01:23:39Hey, miss Barlow who said I was changing my name
01:23:47On the topic of change I've been thinking Bella needs a playmate
01:23:53What do you think we give her a sibling?
01:23:55Just one foster kid here. I always dreamed of having a big family. How big are we talking?
