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