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.
00:00:12We'll 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 Barlow 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 is going to last?
00:01:07She's scared off three in a year.
00:01:10I don't want a nanny. I want a mommy.
00:01:24I'm not ever leaving.
00:01:25You see, it's a circus out there.
00:01:27Like, a literal freaking circus.
00:01:29Oh my God, there's jugglers, there's clowns, there's even a man on stilts.
00:01:32Can you imagine having a birthday like this when you were just eight years old?
00:01:35Foster kid here.
00:01:36I used to blow out imaginary candles and dream of real cake.
00:01:42This is my favorite part.
00:01:45Somebody'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 could live up to the image that she painted.
00:01:59Yes, she's very good at talking me up.
00:02:01In your case, she really didn't do it justice.
00:02:06I'd love to slip away from the crowd and 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.
00:02:21Why, hello, Mother.
00:02:22Julian, Bianca is hysterical, and you have embarrassed me.
00:02:27Well, stop setting me up with random women.
00:02:29I'm not getting married again. Once was enough.
00:02:31Kendra and the race car driver have ended it.
00:02:34Right now, you have sole custody of Bella.
00:02:37Let the courts favor the mother, Julian.
00:02:39You and I both know Kendra could show up at any time
00:02:42and demand that Bella live with her just to spite you.
00:02:45I'm not letting that witch anywhere near me.
00:02:47Find yourself a wife, and show the world a stable family.
00:02:51Not for your own happiness, but for your child's.
00:02:59Mother might be dramatic, but she's right about Bella needing a mom.
00:03:03Perhaps a fake wife would do.
00:03:07Got vanilla for you.
00:03:10What's your favorite flavor?
00:03:12Got vanilla for you.
00:03:15What's your favorite flavor?
00:03:17Chocolate!
00:03:19So, do you want to know what makes everything taste so good?
00:03:23The secret ingredient is...
00:03:28love.
00:03:39I'm so exhausted. I'm heading home. You coming?
00:03:41I'm going to stay and finish the engagement cake for tomorrow.
00:03:43Okay.
00:03:45Hey, Bernie!
00:03:47Let me grab you the day oats.
00:03:55Taros and pita, I included the pecan cinnamon rolls just for them.
00:04:00Oh, my gosh! You scared me!
00:04:03Where did you come from, sweetheart?
00:04:05Where are your parents?
00:04:07Are you lost?
00:04:09What's your name?
00:04:11I'm Everly.
00:04:13You don't want to tell me, huh?
00:04:16Guess I'll just have to guess.
00:04:19I'm Everly.
00:04:21I'm Everly.
00:04:23I'm Everly.
00:04:25I'm Everly.
00:04:27Guess I'll just have to guess.
00:04:29Your name is Olga.
00:04:33Gertrude.
00:04:35Prudence.
00:04:37Hazel.
00:04:38Constance.
00:04:39Phyllis.
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!
00:04:53You scared me, Bella Barlow.
00:04:56Sorry, Daddy.
00:04:58What were you thinking?
00:04:59I found my mommy!
00:05:05I'm so sorry. She's never done anything like this.
00:05:08I want Everly to be my mommy.
00:05:10Bella Munchkin, please.
00:05:13You know, my daddy has lots of money.
00:05:16All you have to do is marry him and be my mommy.
00:05:19Bella, you don't marry someone for money.
00:05:22You do it because you love them so much.
00:05:25And it feels like they're a part of you.
00:05:28Like you can't picture your life without them in it.
00:05:32I know you're supposed to be my mommy.
00:05:36I'm engaged to someone else.
00:05:39Come on, Bella.
00:05:41We've taken up enough of Miss Harper's time.
00:05:45So a hot guy and a cute little girl were like,
00:05:47come be my insta-family?
00:05:49The little girl was. The dad was kind of mortified.
00:05:52Bella reminds me of what I was like after the car accident.
00:05:55Kept going up to perfect strangers, looking for my parents.
00:05:58Just couldn't accept that they were gone.
00:06:01Hey, beautiful. I miss you already.
00:06:03When are you back from your business trip?
00:06:05I'm back Monday. We'll see each other then.
00:06:08Are you calling me from the bathroom?
00:06:11No, the guests next door are just really loud.
00:06:14I gotta go. I love you.
00:06:32Hello? Earth to Everly?
00:06:35What?
00:06:37I was just thinking about what I told the little girl.
00:06:39All the reasons you marry someone,
00:06:41but I've never actually felt any of those things.
00:06:44Well, you better decide sooner rather than later.
00:06:46Well, Nolan and I have been together since high school.
00:06:49Loyalty counts for something.
00:06:51At least what we have is real.
00:06:55Okay, this hotel is huge.
00:06:57Where is the engagement party being held?
00:06:59Uh, restaurant.
00:07:01Okay, yes.
00:07:07I'm bored.
00:07:09I'm sorry, Munchkin, but after yesterday,
00:07:11I'm not letting you out of my sight.
00:07:13Bella was bad.
00:07:15Bella was very bad, but I'll take you to get ice cream
00:07:18if you're very good.
00:07:21I want cupcake.
00:07:23Nice try, kiddo.
00:07:45That must be the bride-to-be.
00:07:47Hey, delivery for the lovely bride-to-be.
00:07:50Delivery 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 since high school, huh?
00:08:06Still a pathetic orphan with no money?
00:08:09Or taste.
00:08:11Olivia, this is your engagement party.
00:08:15Who would marry a raging bully like you?
00:08:17Everly, what are you doing here?
00:08:20Uh...
00:08:22Nolan, I...
00:08:24I don't understand.
00:08:26Isn't it obvious, you ignorant nobody?
00:08:30Nolan's been cheating on you.
00:08:32With me.
00:08:40Is it true, Nolan?
00:08:42Yeah, I can explain.
00:08:44No, is it true?
00:08:46You've been sleeping with Olivia?
00:08:48You saw how she treated me.
00:08:50She made my high school life a living hell.
00:08:52You hate her just as much as I do.
00:08:55Well, if that's hate sex,
00:08:57then sign me up for a lifetime of it.
00:09:02Nolan's a sexy beast, aren't you, darling?
00:09:05Oh, but you wouldn't know about that, Everly.
00:09:08Being the pity fuck that you are.
00:09:11You set this whole thing up, didn't you, Olivia?
00:09:14Did you think you could date both of us?
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 you could be with this dirty orphan
00:09:31who will always be poor, pathetic, white trash
00:09:35her 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
00:10:04where 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 pig 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.
00:10:58I'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 going with my blessing.
00:11:07Nolan, do something.
00:11:10Ever flee?
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.
00:11:28Oh, hold still.
00:11:30You have some frost in there.
00:11:33Please, just stop. Don't.
00:11:35It's Julian Barlow.
00:11:37He's the heir 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 to assault a minor.
00:11:45I didn't know it was your kid.
00:11:47So she's a poor girl? Hurting her is okay?
00:11:49This party's over. You two are banned for life from every Barlow property in the world.
00:11:56So this is what having someone stand up for you feels like?
00:12:03You were bad, daddy.
00:12:05There'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, Edwin.
00:12:23Thank you for protecting my daughter.
00:12:25Thank you for saving me from my cheating ex-fiancé.
00:12:34That sounds like a desperate man trying to win you back.
00:12:37Yeah.
00:12:39Not happening.
00:12:46Seems we have a problem, Miss Harper.
00:12:49My daughter's heart is set on you being her mother.
00:12:53You also have a problem with your ex not getting the message.
00:12:57I propose a pretend relationship.
00:12:59Like a fake marriage?
00:13:01Exactly. I can protect you from your ex-fiancé,
00:13:04and you can help me protect Bella from herself and my ex,
00:13:07if she comes back into town.
00:13:09Is your ex really that bad?
00:13:11Kendra makes your high school nemesis look like a teddy bear.
00:13:15Do we have a deal?
00:13:17What if you want to be with someone for real?
00:13:19I won't.
00:13:21I've sworn I'm not going to get married again.
00:13:31Yes, Mr. Barlow.
00:13:33You have a deal.
00:13:35You have a deal.
00:13:48Tomorrow night is the annual charity gala.
00:13:51Black tie. There we'll introduce you to society.
00:13:54Well, why don't we start out slow?
00:13:58My mother will know if we don't show up as newlyweds.
00:14:01Didn't you say she lives in Paris?
00:14:03She has spies everywhere.
00:14:06Did you go to the gala with me?
00:14:09I don't know, Julian. I'm more flower than flair.
00:14:15We have a boutique at the hotel.
00:14:18I think the right dress will ease some of your stress.
00:14:22I'm still super uncomfortable with all this.
00:14:26I 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.
00:14:50Well, one other thing.
00:14:53Don't fall for me.
00:14:56Same goes for you.
00:15:08Boop.
00:15:11Boop.
00:15:13Well, hello, mother.
00:15:15Well, hello, mother.
00:15:17You're married? Who is this girl?
00:15:20Her name is Everly Harper.
00:15:22She's a sous-chef, cordon bleu trained,
00:15:25but she calls herself a baker.
00:15:27Ridiculous.
00:15:30Well, her parents died when she was six,
00:15:33and since then she's had no relatives.
00:15:36She became a ward of the state
00:15:38and bounced around foster care,
00:15:41never really having a permanent home.
00:15:43So 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, she's won numerous awards
00:15:55and competitions for her.
00:15:57Oh, my God, she's dirt poor.
00:16:00You've married a gold digger, Julian.
00:16:02Well, to be honest,
00:16:04my wealth is probably a bad thing in this case.
00:16:07She'd rather me be middle class.
00:16:09Well, then she's a fool.
00:16:11Who wouldn't want a billionaire husband?
00:16:13Well, Bella chose her to be her mother.
00:16:19Well, I'm just upset that my only son
00:16:21didn't inform me he was married.
00:16:23We'll be in touch.
00:16:29That went exactly as expected.
00:16:31Yay! Everly's gonna be my new mommy!
00:16:35I should start calling you my little spy.
00:16:37When does she move in?
00:16:39Um, I'm not sure.
00:16:41We haven't had that discussion.
00:16:43And she's gonna bake me more magical cookies
00:16:45filled with love.
00:16:47Has she done that before?
00:16:49Well, yes.
00:16:51Soon she'll be here,
00:16:53and she'll bake you many things full of love.
00:16:55Whee! Whee!
00:17:02Wait. You fake Mary and Julie and Barlow?
00:17:05I know. It's insane.
00:17:07Oh, my God. You do know that your hubby
00:17:09is worth like $100 billion, right?
00:17:11Very funny.
00:17:13He didn't.
00:17:15I'm not joking.
00:17:17Whoa. I've never seen that many zeros in one spot.
00:17:19Oh, my God. Bestie!
00:17:21You're literally married to one of the richest dudes
00:17:23on the planet.
00:17:25Olivia and her totes are totally gonna flip out.
00:17:27We have to go to the high school reunion next weekend.
00:17:29I thought you said we were skipping that.
00:17:31Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Not anymore.
00:17:33We are going.
00:17:35Oh, come on.
00:17:37Please, please, please.
00:17:39Think about it.
00:17:41Why would someone like him
00:17:43even want a pretend marriage?
00:17:45I mean, he's charming,
00:17:47handsome,
00:17:49brilliant, and a good dad.
00:17:51He could easily find a real wife.
00:17:53Maybe he's just avoiding commitment. You know,
00:17:55classic playboy move.
00:17:57He doesn't strike me as that type.
00:17:59Look at you, playing the little protective wife already.
00:18:01Shut up.
00:18:03So,
00:18:05when does Miss Barlow make her big debut?
00:18:07Tonight, actually.
00:18:09Care to help me find a dress
00:18:11for some exclusive gala?
00:18:13Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
00:18:15This is the most exclusive credit card.
00:18:17That's all credit cards. You can buy an island with this thing.
00:18:19I'm gonna be sick.
00:18:21Oh, my God. I have to find a way to give it back to him.
00:18:23Everly Harper,
00:18:25you will do no such thing. Can you please
00:18:27just be a little selfish for the both of us
00:18:29and live a little?
00:18:31You're right.
00:18:33Let's do this.
00:18:47Okay, I can't do this. $40,000 for a dress
00:18:49is insane. You could pay an entire village
00:18:51for that price. Yeah, crazy
00:18:53world we live in. Hello, ladies.
00:18:55My name is Pilar.
00:18:57Should we try something on?
00:18:59It appears to be your size, but I do have a seamstress
00:19:01on sandbox. Can I maybe rent
00:19:03it instead? Rent?
00:19:07That'll be $1,000 a day,
00:19:09plus a $4,000 security deposit.
00:19:11Can you afford that?
00:19:15Oh, my goodness. What manual
00:19:17labor job do you do? I'm a baker.
00:19:21Absolutely no rental for you.
00:19:23Those rough worker hands will
00:19:25snag the delicate fabric.
00:19:27There's a thrift store down the way
00:19:29that might be more at your speed.
00:19:31You don't understand. I'm attending the annual
00:19:33Celestial Charity Gala tonight. It's strictly black tie.
00:19:35What are you doing at Celestial?
00:19:37The most exclusive event in town.
00:19:39I know.
00:19:41You must be a waitress handing out caravans.
00:19:43Just buy it, then.
00:19:49This is a black heart.
00:19:51Obviously.
00:19:53Held up at boutique.
00:19:55Not going too well.
00:19:59Well, well, well.
00:20:01This card belongs to Mr. Barlow.
00:20:03How did it end up in your hands?
00:20:05Mr. Barlow happens
00:20:07to be my best friend's husband.
00:20:09As if.
00:20:11You must have stolen it.
00:20:13Security! Arrest these scammers,
00:20:15frighten, infect, and
00:20:17get your hands off of her,
00:20:19you animal.
00:20:21Let us...
00:20:25We're not thieves.
00:20:27You're making a mistake. The card was given to me.
00:20:29We're innocent.
00:20:35Get this trash out of my face.
00:20:39Let them go.
00:20:47Mr. Barlow, you're right on time.
00:20:49Okay, I just caught these scammers trying to charge
00:20:51$5,000 to your card.
00:20:53$5,000? When have you ever sold a dress
00:20:55under 30 grand? That was me.
00:20:57I was trying to rent it
00:20:59and said no dress is worth that much.
00:21:01Are you kidding me? Don't fall for
00:21:03this innocent act. She's a clever
00:21:05scammer. Did you see anything you
00:21:07like? This one.
00:21:09But we were told to shop at
00:21:11the thrift shop. I'm Samantha,
00:21:13by the way. I've heard so much about you.
00:21:15Pleasure to meet you, Samantha.
00:21:17Pilar, my wife was looking to outfit
00:21:19herself for tonight's gala entirely
00:21:21through your boutique. Unfortunately,
00:21:23you cut up our
00:21:25card.
00:21:27So she...
00:21:29She really is your
00:21:31wife?
00:21:33At Barlow, we believe in
00:21:35treating everyone with respect and
00:21:37dignity.
00:21:39Isn't your lease up in 30 days?
00:21:41Mr. Barlow, I am so,
00:21:43so sorry. Okay, Mrs. Barlow,
00:21:45please, here. Take the
00:21:47dress. It's on the house.
00:21:49It's not necessary. Spill my account.
00:21:53And Barlow won't renew
00:21:55your lease. Not here,
00:21:57not anywhere. You're done,
00:21:59Pilar. I'll make sure
00:22:01you never work in retail again.
00:22:19I realize right now,
00:22:21this is the first time I'm seeing
00:22:23the real Everly.
00:22:25You've been hiding in plain sight.
00:22:27You're right. Look over here.
00:22:29Surplus loan for the night?
00:22:31What's her name, man?
00:22:33I got you.
00:22:35What's her name?
00:22:49I feel
00:22:51like I don't fit in here.
00:22:53You don't fit in, Everly.
00:22:55You stand out. Don't be
00:22:57so obvious, Everly. You can't let yourself
00:22:59fall for him. It's true. Everyone here is rich.
00:23:01But they're all human.
00:23:03Flaws and all.
00:23:05That's
00:23:07Chase and Daisy Harrington.
00:23:09They're in banking. I don't think you mean they work
00:23:11at the Teller window? Chase can
00:23:13often be found at the dog trunk.
00:23:15And Daisy's a lush.
00:23:17She's probably spiked her wine with vodka, right?
00:23:19Man, that's awful.
00:23:21And that's Lily Blake Dubois.
00:23:23And her second husband.
00:23:25He's 25 years her junior.
00:23:27Men date women who are younger than them all the time.
00:23:29She was the PTA president.
00:23:31And he was in 9th grade.
00:23:33With her son, when they met.
00:23:35When they started their affair.
00:23:37Oh my god. I get it.
00:23:39I am no longer intimidated by anyone in here.
00:23:41Mission accomplished.
00:23:43Mind if I join you,
00:23:45lovebirds?
00:23:47Mind if I join you,
00:23:49lovebirds?
00:23:51I'm too old
00:23:53for surprises, mother.
00:23:55You flew from Paris for nothing.
00:23:57Nothing?
00:23:59You're making a fool of yourself with this gold digger.
00:24:01Miss Barlow,
00:24:03let's get two things straight.
00:24:05One, my name is Everly Harper.
00:24:07And two,
00:24:09I am not a gold digger.
00:24:11I've earned my keep since I was six years old.
00:24:13I started my business from scratch.
00:24:15I don't need your money.
00:24:17But I would like your respect.
00:24:19So, I won't let anyone
00:24:21talk down to me, even if you are Julian's mother.
00:24:23Impudent girl.
00:24:25Meddling mother.
00:24:29Aren't you going to say anything?
00:24:31Meddling mother?
00:24:33I couldn't have put it better myself.
00:24:37I don't know what you did to trick my son into marriage.
00:24:39But I have my eye on you,
00:24:41Everly Harper.
00:24:43One false move, and you are through.
00:24:45Alright, that's enough.
00:24:47Enjoy your evening alone,
00:24:49mother.
00:24:59Everly, I want to apologize.
00:25:03My mother was out of line.
00:25:05She didn't expect it either.
00:25:07She's so determined, she won't back down.
00:25:09We need to make sure she doesn't start
00:25:11digging into the details of our marriage.
00:25:13So, what's our next steps?
00:25:15I want you to
00:25:17move in with me.
00:25:21It was going to happen sooner or later.
00:25:23Mother just expedited it.
00:25:25That goes to the kitchen.
00:25:29Living room.
00:25:31It's just all moving a little too fast.
00:25:33I mean, one minute, Julian's asking
00:25:35me to move in with him, and the next,
00:25:37I'm packing my stuff.
00:25:39But you gotta love a man that takes action, you know?
00:25:41You are oddly chipper about all this.
00:25:43I mean, here I was, feeling bad about leaving you to find a new roommate.
00:25:45I don't know, I think I'm gonna try living alone for a while.
00:25:47Samantha, how can you afford that?
00:25:49The new landlord lowered everyone's rent.
00:25:51Since when?
00:25:53Since you became his fake bride.
00:25:55He knew that you felt bad for me,
00:25:57and so he bought the entire apartment complex
00:25:59and lowered everyone's rent.
00:26:01That's...
00:26:03That's...
00:26:05Everly,
00:26:07billionaires don't think like normal people, sweetie.
00:26:09This is your life now.
00:26:11You need to get used to it, okay?
00:26:17Are we gonna have gazpacho
00:26:19for dinner?
00:26:21If it pleases Miss Bella to have gazpacho.
00:26:23Hello!
00:26:25Okay, what can I get you today?
00:26:29You're welcome.
00:26:35Shouldn't take me longer than two days
00:26:37to inspect the site in Indonesia.
00:26:39Are you sure you can watch Bella?
00:26:41I haven't hired a nanny yet,
00:26:43and she tires Miss Delaney out.
00:26:45Don't worry about us. You focus on work.
00:26:47Bella and I will be just fine.
00:26:49I'll take you to the bakery with me, so have a blast.
00:26:51Here's a detailed list of her
00:26:53routines, do's and don'ts,
00:26:55allergies, emergency contact
00:26:57information, all the information
00:26:59you'll ever need.
00:27:01Love soccer, allergic to strawberries,
00:27:03number. I'm impressed.
00:27:05I wouldn't have thought a CEO like you
00:27:07would be this hands-on with this kid.
00:27:09Well, you thought wrong.
00:27:11Bella means the world to me.
00:27:23Daddy, why are you staring
00:27:25at Emily like that?
00:27:27You like her.
00:27:29Sorry, she doesn't know what she's talking about.
00:27:31Well, sometimes kids have a way of knowing the truth.
00:27:33They also have a way of being annoying.
00:27:35Well, anyways,
00:27:37me and Bun Bun wanted to play
00:27:39airplane.
00:27:41Alright, Munchkin, you have one minute.
00:27:43Yippee!
00:27:45Ready?
00:27:47Yeah!
00:27:51So this is what a happy family
00:27:53looks like.
00:27:55It looks so nice.
00:27:57I wonder if we could be a real family someday.
00:27:59The three of us.
00:28:05Okay, Chef, what's on the menu today?
00:28:07Chocolate
00:28:09cupcakes and chocolate donuts
00:28:11and chocolate cake
00:28:13and chocolate chip cookies.
00:28:15I'm sensing a chocolate thingy.
00:28:17Okay, it's time to get to work,
00:28:19Chef. Whoopee, Chef!
00:28:25Ta-da!
00:28:27Thank you, Chef.
00:28:31I can taste the love.
00:28:33What?
00:28:35The magic ingredient. I can taste it.
00:28:37That's good.
00:28:41Emily,
00:28:43do you like my dad?
00:28:45Of course I like him.
00:28:47He's a great guy and a good dad.
00:28:49So you could become my mommy for real?
00:28:51Bella,
00:28:53I don't know what the future holds,
00:28:55but I know you have
00:28:57a very special place in my heart, okay?
00:28:59Okay.
00:29:03Whoa,
00:29:05that was fast.
00:29:07Okay,
00:29:09time for a rest.
00:29:11Daddy!
00:29:21Oh my God,
00:29:23Chef.
00:29:25Daddy!
00:29:29Did you miss me, Munchkin?
00:29:31So much, but Everly's the best.
00:29:33I got to be a chef.
00:29:35And we had a movie marathon.
00:29:37And I got to sleep in sheep tents in the living room.
00:29:39And we ate in the kitchen
00:29:41with Mrs. Delaney,
00:29:43who 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?
00:29:55No, Munchkin, Daddy's just learning
00:29:57his little set in his ways.
00:29:59You can do everything, Dad, but you're a bad cook.
00:30:01And Everly's way better at girl stuff.
00:30:03You're like the prince, and Everly's the princess.
00:30:05And we can all live happily ever after.
00:30:07With fun ones, of course.
00:30:13Kids and their fairy tales.
00:30:15She'll understand
00:30:17that we can't be more than a pretend couple
00:30:19when 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.
00:30:29It can never be anything more.
00:30:39My God, you have to go.
00:30:41Oh, come on.
00:30:43Olivia and Nolan are going to gossip about us
00:30:45if you do not show your face tomorrow.
00:30:47I can't deal with this. I'm sorry, Sammy.
00:30:49I thought about it, and I don't want to go to our high school reunion.
00:30:51Okay, hear me out. Just picture this.
00:30:53You walk in with your new, hot,
00:30:55billionaire husband. It's the perfect revenge
00:30:57for 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 this thing is,
00:31:03I already told them that you would be there with him.
00:31:05Shh.
00:31:07Don't get upset. Don't get upset.
00:31:09It's just that Olivia posted that we were lying skinks,
00:31:11and then it kind of just blew up from there, and then all of a sudden...
00:31:13Samantha, you make everything ten times worse.
00:31:15Don't worry, I'll go with you.
00:31:17I can't let my wife be humiliated.
00:31:19I came by to take you to dinner
00:31:21as a thank you for helping me with Bella.
00:31:23Did he really mean that?
00:31:25His wife?
00:31:27You should take the day off tomorrow and go pamper yourself.
00:31:29I'll make the arrangements with the hotel spa.
00:31:31On one condition.
00:31:33Can you make the reservation for two?
00:31:35I can do that.
00:31:45I want to get my nails done, too.
00:31:47What color do you want to get, Bella?
00:31:49The exact same as you.
00:31:51I also want to get some for Bun Bun.
00:31:53He looks great with those.
00:31:55You're so adorable.
00:31:57How could any mother abandon you?
00:31:59I wish you were really mine.
00:32:05Oh, my.
00:32:07Mr. Barlow said that you might need
00:32:09some help getting into it.
00:32:11I can't wear that, Miss Delaney.
00:32:13It's too beautiful
00:32:15and definitely way too expensive.
00:32:17Nonsense, dear.
00:32:19Mr. Barlow said to tell you
00:32:21you're the only one that can do it justice.
00:32:27Now 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.
00:32:45It's not me. It's the dress.
00:32:47Why do you do that?
00:32:49Why do you downplay your beauty?
00:32:51I don't like to draw attention to myself.
00:32:53You shouldn't have to dim your light
00:32:55to make others feel good about themselves.
00:33:11Ah, Mr. Barlow.
00:33:13Sir, there is a visitor here
00:33:15demanding to speak with you.
00:33:17I'm not expecting anyone.
00:33:19It's your ex-wife.
00:33:25It's your ex-wife.
00:33:33I put Miss Rossi in the guest room.
00:33:35Where's Bella?
00:33:37She's with Miss Delaney in the playroom.
00:33:39I have to deal with her.
00:33:41I'll join you at the reunion when I'm done.
00:33:43I can just not go.
00:33:45No, Kindra 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.
00:34:01I heard
00:34:03Everly is coming to the reunion.
00:34:05I thought that she would never
00:34:07show her face here ever again.
00:34:09Everly?
00:34:11The foster kid weirdo?
00:34:13Yeah, well, she destroyed my engagement party,
00:34:15so I'm going to destroy her tonight.
00:34:17Didn't Samantha say she's married
00:34:19to Julian Barlow?
00:34:21What if he's going to come with her?
00:34:23He might fuck her,
00:34:25but a Barlow is not going to marry
00:34:27trash like her.
00:34:29She should be mine.
00:34:41Eyes on me, Nolan.
00:34:43They really did recreate senior prom.
00:34:45I don't think so.
00:34:47I don't think so.
00:34:49I don't think so.
00:34:51I don't think so.
00:34:53I don't think so.
00:34:55I don't think so.
00:34:57They really did recreate senior prom.
00:34:59Yep, all the waves, the tacky
00:35:01decorations, and the cheesy DJ.
00:35:03Last time I was here, I was with Nolan.
00:35:05My foster mom at the time helped
00:35:07make my dress, and it looked it.
00:35:09We didn't even get our first dance before Olivia told everyone
00:35:11I had an STD.
00:35:13That's right, and then Nolan couldn't take it, and he bailed.
00:35:15We should have known then that he was a dick.
00:35:17Yeah, I forgave him.
00:35:19No one could stand up for Olivia, myself included
00:35:21at that time.
00:35:23Let's slay this bitch.
00:35:25Of course.
00:35:27That dress looks like it cost
00:35:29a fortune.
00:35:31What do you think, Olivia? You're a fashion expert.
00:35:33It can't be
00:35:35the Nightingale of Hanoi.
00:35:37That dress is worth millions.
00:35:39It's just a cheap knockoff.
00:35:41Come on, girls.
00:35:43Let's give Everly a high school reunion
00:35:45she'll never forget.
00:35:47Let's give Everly a high school
00:35:49reunion she'll never forget.
00:35:51Hey.
00:35:53Where's your husband?
00:35:55Julian's on his way. Shut up, loser.
00:35:57No one's talking to you. Bitch.
00:35:59Give it up, Everly. We all know he got
00:36:01bored and dumped you.
00:36:05Like, okay.
00:36:07Did you just fucking shrug
00:36:09at me?
00:36:11Apparently you've forgotten your place.
00:36:13Must be that dress giving you
00:36:15attitude, but it's a cheap knockoff
00:36:17just like you.
00:36:19I don't think it's a knockoff.
00:36:21It's a gift from my husband.
00:36:23Give it up, bitch.
00:36:25We all know you're lying. Your husband.
00:36:27Your dress.
00:36:29I call bullshit.
00:36:31Grow up, Olivia.
00:36:33You're too old to still be a mean girl.
00:36:43Hey, no, no, no.
00:36:45Let go of me, Nolan.
00:36:47Get your hands off of her.
00:36:49Wearing a Barlow doesn't make you royalty.
00:36:51Take that fake dress on.
00:36:53Or I'll take it off for you.
00:36:55What makes you think it's fake?
00:36:57You clueless bitch.
00:36:59I'm a fashion influencer.
00:37:01With 1.8
00:37:03million followers,
00:37:05you expect me to believe that white
00:37:07trash like you are wearing
00:37:09the Nightingale of Hanoi gown
00:37:11valued at 10
00:37:13million dollars?
00:37:15That's why Julian grinned
00:37:17when I said I'd pay him back for the dress.
00:37:19Take it off.
00:37:25Hey, no.
00:37:27Get off of her.
00:37:31Let go.
00:37:33No.
00:37:35No.
00:37:41Stop.
00:37:43Get away from my wife.
00:37:47Get away from my wife.
00:38:01Sorry I'm late.
00:38:03The dress is ruined.
00:38:05Please tell me it wasn't worth millions of dollars.
00:38:07I can't tell you that.
00:38:09Apologize to my wife, now.
00:38:11We were just joking.
00:38:13You know, fooling around.
00:38:15My wife was on the ground, soaking wet.
00:38:17Dress torn.
00:38:19What 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.
00:38:25Lawyers? Who the hell are you?
00:38:27That'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?
00:38:33Every bead is
00:38:35a genuine, flawless diamond.
00:38:37Miss St. James, you just ruined a 10 million
00:38:39dollar gown.
00:38:41Oh, shit.
00:38:43No.
00:38:45No, that can't be.
00:38:47You better start liquidating all your assets,
00:38:49including your parents' house, because the insurance company
00:38:51is coming for your ass. Then the police.
00:38:53Good luck finding a job
00:38:55in fashion after ruining one of the most famous
00:38:57dresses in the world.
00:38:59That's all your endorsements
00:39:01leaving you.
00:39:03That's all your
00:39:05endorsements leaving you.
00:39:07You did this. You set me up.
00:39:09You did it to yourself.
00:39:11Nolan, do something.
00:39:13I left the woman I love
00:39:15because you said we'd be rich and now you
00:39:17have nothing. You piece of
00:39:19shit. Nope.
00:39:23Don't do this.
00:39:25Please don't do this.
00:39:27I'm not the one you need to beg for forgiveness.
00:39:35I'm sorry, Everly.
00:39:37I never should have
00:39:39tormented you all of those years.
00:39:41You didn't deserve it.
00:39:43Then why did you do it?
00:39:45Why me?
00:39:49Why me?
00:39:51Because even with your shitty clothes,
00:39:53your terrible hair,
00:39:55you were still beautiful.
00:39:57Everyone could see it.
00:39:59I would kill to look like
00:40:01you and you treated it like it was
00:40:03nothing. So you
00:40:05hated me because I was pretty and didn't
00:40:07shove it in people's faces?
00:40:09That is so messed up.
00:40:11Well, I was right
00:40:13to hate you.
00:40:15Look at you. You bagged a billionaire
00:40:17without even trying.
00:40:19Everly is beautiful inside
00:40:21and out. That's what draws people
00:40:23to her. You're done here. I'm not going
00:40:25to push any criminal charges, but the insurance
00:40:27company will be reaching out. You're on the
00:40:29hook for that dress.
00:40:31Oh, my God. I never thought that I'd see
00:40:33this in a lifetime. Please pinch me and
00:40:35tell me that I'm not dreaming. If you are so
00:40:37am I.
00:40:39You want to get out of here?
00:40:41Yes, please.
00:40:55Bitches.
00:40:57Who knew that high school reunions would be this fun?
00:40:59Thank you
00:41:01for what you did.
00:41:03Never has anyone come to my rescue
00:41:05before. I enjoy doing it.
00:41:07You matter to me,
00:41:09Everly.
00:41:11Me and Bella.
00:41:13Hey.
00:41:15Of course. I understand.
00:41:17Thank you again.
00:41:19Have a good night, Julian. Everly, wait.
00:41:21That came out wrong.
00:41:23What I meant was
00:41:25you were
00:41:27What I meant was
00:41:29I have feelings for you.
00:41:31And I don't want to lead you on.
00:41:33Kendra's betrayal of our marriage
00:41:35it broke something inside
00:41:37of me and I don't think
00:41:39I can commit to
00:41:41another 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...
00:41:57Sir, is that you?
00:42:11I heard a noise.
00:42:13Yes, Mr. Gibson.
00:42:15You can go to bed.
00:42:17Yes, sir. Good night, sir.
00:42:19Ma'am.
00:42:21Fuck, that was embarrassing.
00:42:23I haven't got caught like that since
00:42:25I was a little school boy.
00:42:27Do you think he saw us?
00:42:29He probably did, but he's not going to say anything.
00:42:31I want nothing more
00:42:33than to take you upstairs right now.
00:42:35Me too.
00:42:37You're so honest, Everly.
00:42:39It'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.
00:42:49No one's ever said that to me before.
00:42:51Good night, sweetheart.
00:42:55Now go
00:42:57before I change my mind.
00:43:01Did that just happen?
00:43:03Am I actually dating Julian Barlow?
00:43:11This is nice.
00:43:13Just hold it in your hand.
00:43:17What are we going to tell Bella?
00:43:19I don't want to get her hopes up,
00:43:21but we are dating now.
00:43:23Change of steps.
00:43:25We have to put her first.
00:43:27Have you always thought of others
00:43:29at 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, Everly.
00:43:39Now you have me
00:43:41and I promise I won't let anyone hurt you anymore.
00:43:49So you think you can
00:43:51replace me with this whore, Julian?
00:43:53Let's see how that works out
00:43:55when I get through with the both of you.
00:44:01So,
00:44:03this 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 is doing.
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 and went to Europe
00:44:23with 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. You don't have visitation rights.
00:44:41Oh, we'll see about that.
00:44:43I'm Bella's birth mother.
00:44:45That's never going to change.
00:44:47I can't lose my daughter.
00:44:49You 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.
00:45:13There's just one wife right in front of me.
00:45:17I'm still working.
00:45:19I'll have to kick you out
00:45:21if you're not a paying customer.
00:45:23Then I'll pay now.
00:45:29I 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
00:45:39brings a homemade dessert
00:45:41to eat for first place.
00:45:43Would you want to go with us?
00:45:47You want me to be a part of your family?
00:45:49Part of your neighbors?
00:45:51Of course.
00:46:01No, you have to stir in the same direction
00:46:03clockwise 30 times.
00:46:05Wow. I had no idea you had to be so accurate.
00:46:07We do if you want to be the best.
00:46:11No, not like that. Like this.
00:46:21You are the worst student.
00:46:23I'm sorry I can't concentrate
00:46:25because my teacher's so hot.
00:46:27Emily and Daddy
00:46:29sittin' in a tree.
00:46:31Can I ask
00:46:33if I can be
00:46:35I'm gonna get you.
00:46:37Come here.
00:46:39No.
00:46:45Hi.
00:46:47Hi.
00:46:49Hi.
00:46:51Hi.
00:46:53Hi.
00:46:55Hi.
00:47:05Hey, Bella.
00:47:07Remember me?
00:47:09No.
00:47:11I'm your mother.
00:47:13No, you're not. Emily's my mom.
00:47:15I chose her.
00:47:17You little brat. You can't choose your mother.
00:47:19You're born with one and that's what you get.
00:47:21That's enough, Kendra.
00:47:23Whatever.
00:47:25Move aside.
00:47:27I'm going to win this bake sale
00:47:29and prove who the real mother is.
00:47:31Those are store-bought cookies.
00:47:33What is she thinking?
00:47:35No, she made those.
00:47:37Her family owns Rossi Cookies.
00:47:39They were franchised.
00:47:41They have stores in every country.
00:47:43You didn't tell me your ex was a world-renowned baker.
00:47:45She doesn't have a tenth of your talent.
00:47:47Her grandma's the baker.
00:47:49She uses the recipes.
00:47:51She uses the 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.
00:48:11Here.
00:48:13Try mine.
00:48:15Not to brag, but the Rossi name is renowned
00:48:17in the world of desserts.
00:48:19Not bad, but nowhere near the Barlow's.
00:48:21I'm telling you, you ought to taste it.
00:48:23It's simply magic in your mouth.
00:48:25I think we know who the winner is.
00:48:29Yay!
00:48:35You want to see magic?
00:48:37I'm going to make that bitch disappear.
00:48:39Abra-fucking-cadabra.
00:48:41Can't forget that.
00:48:43Top of Bella's birthday list.
00:48:45She would never forgive me.
00:48:47Well, aren't we the perfect little housewife?
00:48:49That is,
00:48:51until Bella is rushed to the hospital.
00:48:53Psst.
00:48:57Early.
00:48:59Hi.
00:49:01So lucky to run into you here.
00:49:03Oh.
00:49:05Oh, so.
00:49:07I owe you an apology.
00:49:09I owe you an apology
00:49:11for how rude I was to you earlier.
00:49:13In my defense,
00:49:15you'd have to be a mother to understand
00:49:17how it feels to see another woman raising a child.
00:49:19Do you have it in your heart to forgive me?
00:49:21It's Bella and Julian you owe an apology to,
00:49:23not me.
00:49:25Watch your back.
00:49:27There's a long line
00:49:29of women waiting to get their claws into Julian.
00:49:31Beautiful, sexy,
00:49:33sophisticated women.
00:49:35Or suited to his lifestyle.
00:49:37Pleasing his every
00:49:39want and desire.
00:49:41Is there some kind of threat?
00:49:43No.
00:49:45Just a cold, hard
00:49:47fact that you, Everly Harper,
00:49:49will never be more than
00:49:51a glorified babysitter to him.
00:49:53That's funny.
00:49:55Because you'll never be more than a bitter memory
00:49:57to him.
00:49:59Now stop messing
00:50:01with our family.
00:50:03Next time, I won't be so nice.
00:50:07Next time,
00:50:09you'll be the psycho who
00:50:11drugged Julian's daughter.
00:50:17Can I ask you a question?
00:50:21Why did you choose me?
00:50:23Ooh.
00:50:25Where's this coming from?
00:50:27I mean, once Bella grows up
00:50:29and doesn't need a mom anymore,
00:50:31will you still want to be
00:50:33with me? Everly, sweetheart,
00:50:35this doesn't sound like you.
00:50:37It's just, I'm not like
00:50:39the society women you've dated in the past.
00:50:41What if you get bored
00:50:43with me?
00:50:47Imagine dating someone
00:50:49who barely eats because they're watching
00:50:51their figure, and spends more time with their
00:50:53plastic surgeons and with their family.
00:50:55You mean these society
00:50:57women?
00:50:59You're so bad.
00:51:01I'm sorry.
00:51:03I let Kendra get in my head.
00:51:05When did she see Kendra?
00:51:09It's Bella's school.
00:51:11This 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, the lab
00:51:38results just showed that it was a common
00:51:40prescribed sedative that was on the lollipop.
00:51:42How does this happen? I don't understand.
00:51:44I have to ask, have you
00:51:46had any threats recently
00:51:48or encountered any suspicious characters?
00:51:52I came as soon as I heard. How is our
00:51:54precious Bella? She's coming along.
00:51:56Okay. Poison?
00:51:58My God, what kind of
00:52:00monster would poison an innocent child?
00:52:03With a lollipop, no less.
00:52:05I'm sorry. Doctor, did you say lollipop?
00:52:07The perpetrator
00:52:09poisoned Julian and my daughter
00:52:11with a lollipop.
00:52:13Well,
00:52:15that's interesting because
00:52:17I ran into Everly at the bakery yesterday
00:52:19and I saw one of Bella's
00:52:21favorite rainbow-colored lollipops.
00:52:23Are you suggesting that
00:52:25I had something to do with this?
00:52:27You gave Bella that lollipop,
00:52:29did you not?
00:52:33I...
00:52:35I did, but...
00:52:37I can't believe this.
00:52:39Our precious Bella,
00:52:41our little angel, drugged
00:52:43by yet another baby. I did no such thing.
00:52:45I would never...
00:52:47Wait, hold on. Bella's been poisoned before?
00:52:49Is this true, Julian?
00:52:51When she was 18 months old, I babysat her
00:52:53and I haven't been able to trust anyone
00:52:55since then, just you.
00:52:57But now I...
00:52:59Now what?
00:53:01I'll tell you what.
00:53:03You're not coming near Bella ever again.
00:53:05No, no, this can't be real.
00:53:07You know I would never hurt Bella.
00:53:09You know I love her like she's my own daughter.
00:53:11Oh, but she's not.
00:53:13She's ours.
00:53:15Julian,
00:53:17will you be calling security
00:53:19or shall I?
00:53:21Julian, will you be calling security
00:53:23or shall I?
00:53:27Everly, I'm sorry.
00:53:29I'm sorry for ever doubting you,
00:53:31even for a second.
00:53:33I know that you could never harm Bella.
00:53:35Not because you're my wife,
00:53:37but because of your loving heart.
00:53:39Julian, what are you saying? She's dangerous!
00:53:41Stop, Kendra, just stop!
00:53:43But...
00:53:45Look at the evidence.
00:53:47Everly bought the rainbow-colored lollipop
00:53:49for Bella. Who else could have tampered with it?
00:53:53How did you know it was a rainbow lollipop?
00:53:55No one mentioned
00:53:57what color it was.
00:53:59No, you switched them.
00:54:01At the bakery parking lot,
00:54:03that's why you were there.
00:54:05You drugged your own daughter
00:54:07just to frame me? What kind of sicko does that?
00:54:09You can't prove that.
00:54:11But your prescription medicine can.
00:54:13Julian, stop! That's not mine!
00:54:15She's been taking sedatives since I met her.
00:54:19That's exactly what was found in Bella's system.
00:54:21It's...
00:54:23You psychotic bitch!
00:54:25You tried to kill my daughter, now you're trying to frame my wife?
00:54:27It's common.
00:54:29It could be found from anywhere.
00:54:31It could have been anyone.
00:54:33It could have been you.
00:54:35It was you, wasn't it? I'm telling you, it wasn't!
00:54:39Bella's waking up.
00:54:45Thank God she's okay.
00:54:49The thought of losing her was too much to bear.
00:54:51We 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,
00:55:01that's what family's for.
00:55:05That's what it means to love.
00:55:07And be loved.
00:55:09Exactly.
00:55:11Stop it.
00:55:13We're in the children's ward.
00:55:15I'm pretty sure all these doctors and nurses
00:55:17know how babies are born.
00:55:19Mommy?
00:55:21Daddy?
00:55:23Raincheck?
00:55:25Oh, you can count on it.
00:55:27Is that my little munchkin in there making noise?
00:55:33Welcome in.
00:55:35What gang is starting?
00:55:37No.
00:55:39What, is there a rule against selling a cake to your ex?
00:55:41Come on, Emily.
00:55:43Look, Everly, I'm sorry.
00:55:45I made a big mistake, I'll admit that.
00:55:47But I've changed.
00:55:49I left Olivia, and I just want to start fresh.
00:55:51I want to do this again.
00:55:53Are you serious?
00:55:55Yes, it was all Olivia's doing.
00:55:57You know how manipulative she can be.
00:55:59And I only loved you the entire time.
00:56:01You think Julian...
00:56:03Julian's a multibillionaire.
00:56:05You think he'd really go for someone like you?
00:56:07I mean, get real, Everly.
00:56:09If he doesn't love you, I do.
00:56:11At least I looked at him with that in mind.
00:56:13Oh!
00:56:17Get the hell out of my bakery.
00:56:19You fucking bitch.
00:56:21No one's gonna come to save you.
00:56:27Stay away from my wife!
00:56:29Last warning, stay away from her or I'll break more than just your arm.
00:56:31Motherfucker.
00:56:33If I can't have her,
00:56:35no 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.
00:57:01Someone for the lunch, kids.
00:57:07I have to pick her up right now.
00:57:09We'll see you later?
00:57:11Stay there.
00:57:15Okay.
00:57:27And the hits keep coming.
00:57:29First my ex,
00:57:31now his.
00:57:33We never catch a break.
00:57:35We have to keep that from Bella.
00:57:37I'll get my lawyer to file a restraining order
00:57:39against Kendra this week.
00:57:41Maybe there's a way we can make peace
00:57:43with Bella's mom.
00:57:45We've tried.
00:57:47She's turned every attempt against us,
00:57:49including Bella.
00:57:51I can't risk
00:57:53losing my daughter.
00:57:55How can I help
00:57:57protect Bella?
00:57:59I don't know.
00:58:01I don't know.
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, you and I are in this together.
00:58:09I can't stand by while you and Bella
00:58:11suffer.
00:58:33What if Bella wakes up?
00:58:35She hung her head years ago. I just kept it.
00:58:37I know.
00:59:03Okay.
00:59:23What are your thoughts
00:59:25on a family date?
00:59:27The three of us.
00:59:29You want to go on a picnic?
00:59:31I'll go
00:59:33wherever you'll take me.
00:59:37So where did you get Bun Bun?
00:59:39When I was three years old.
00:59:41Yep, 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 I said, no, you can't have a wild animal.
00:59:49So she started crying.
00:59:51So naturally, I got her Bun Bun the next day.
00:59:53Naturally.
01:00:01My baby,
01:00:03come to mom.
01:00:05What are you doing here? You look like a stalker.
01:00:07I'm still your mother
01:00:09and I brought your favorite food,
01:00:11strawberries.
01:00:13Everly loves me more than you
01:00:15and I love her too.
01:00:17And I can't eat strawberries.
01:00:19Darling,
01:00:21that woman is
01:00:23just 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. Everly is my mommy.
01:00:33You're scary.
01:00:35You little rat.
01:00:37Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:00:39Mommy, daddy!
01:00:41Someone needs to teach you
01:00:43some manners.
01:00:45Mommy, daddy! Kendra, what the hell?
01:00:47I'm trying to protect
01:00:49my daughter from this fucking bitch.
01:00:51Hey, watch your language in front of Bella.
01:00:53Strawberries?
01:00:55Kendra, are you insane?
01:00:57She's deathly allergic.
01:00:59How was I supposed to know? You never let me see that thing.
01:01:01That's a lie. You abandoned her.
01:01:03Shut up, you lying gold digger.
01:01:05I'm twice the mother that you'll ever be.
01:01:07Bella!
01:01:09Come back, sweetie.
01:01:11She's overwhelmed. You're scaring her.
01:01:13You know
01:01:15nothing 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 that Everly
01:01:25doesn't want anything to happen to this family.
01:01:27Bella,
01:01:29sweetie, you can't possibly
01:01:31think that this poor substitute is better
01:01:33than a real mother.
01:01:35We have the same blood.
01:01:37You're part Rossi.
01:01:39You can't ask your daughter that. Shut up!
01:01:41Kendra, this isn't some game
01:01:43that you can win. This is Bella and Julian's
01:01:45lives.
01:01:47I don't know why, but you abandoned them.
01:01:49You trying to snatch them back
01:01:51just so you can win won't make you happy.
01:01:53Move on.
01:01:55You have to move on.
01:01:59I know I don't deserve her,
01:02:01but I found out last month
01:02:03that I'm infertile.
01:02:05I can never have
01:02:07another baby.
01:02:09Bella's it for me.
01:02:11Oh!
01:02:21I know she's done some bad things,
01:02:23but she's still your mother, Bella.
01:02:25Why 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.
01:02:41You're right.
01:02:43I only
01:02:45wanted to win.
01:02:47You can win a game, but you can never
01:02:49win someone's heart.
01:02:51You're very wise.
01:02:53Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be your friend.
01:02:55I'm just trying
01:02:57to leave my daughter with a happy memory.
01:03:03Take care, Kendra.
01:03:05Maybe one day I'll let Bella write you. She's older.
01:03:07Bye, sweetie.
01:03:13She fell
01:03:15for my sob story.
01:03:17Stupid bitch.
01:03:19I won't stop until I get my man back
01:03:21and the kid with him.
01:03:27Oh!
01:03:29What's all this for?
01:03:31100th
01:03:33Annual International Bake-Off.
01:03:35Sounds like a big deal.
01:03:37It's invitation only,
01:03:39and I can't believe I got in.
01:03:41If I do well, it'll really help put the bakery
01:03:43on the map.
01:03:45Well, given how you rocked that bake sale,
01:03:47you've got this in the bag.
01:03:49That was nothing. I need a showstopper that's going to dazzle
01:03:51their taste buds and win over their hearts.
01:03:55So what's the secret weapon?
01:03:59Vanilla rosemary five-layer cake
01:04:01topped with a lavender buttercream and a hint
01:04:03of orange zest.
01:04:05Sounds like I need to clear some space on the mantle
01:04:07for that first-place trophy.
01:04:09Cut it out!
01:04:11I'm trying to concentrate.
01:04:13Oh, am I distracting you?
01:04:15I'm a sucker for a messy apron.
01:04:19Okay, fine.
01:04:21You can stay, but you have to make yourself useful.
01:04:25What's first, chef?
01:04:27Ladies and gentlemen,
01:04:29welcome to our 100th Annual
01:04:31International Bake Off.
01:04:33Please find your seat.
01:04:35Our competition will start shortly.
01:04:43You got this, girl. We'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.
01:04:53Knock them dead out there, sweetheart.
01:04:57Good luck.
01:05:01There you are,
01:05:03falling nicely into my trap.
01:05:05Who do you think arranged the invite,
01:05:07you pathetic nobody?
01:05:17Hey, Everly.
01:05:19Ready to get crushed?
01:05:21What 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.
01:05:35I'm infertile.
01:05:37I can never have another baby.
01:05:39So everything you said at the park was a lie.
01:05:41You're not infertile.
01:05:43You just can't stand that Bella chose me.
01:05:45I'm her fucking mother, bitch.
01:05:47You're a monster.
01:05:49And you're just an amateur who doesn't deserve to be here.
01:05:53Did you really think you 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.
01:06:13Oh, yeah?
01:06:15Do you know what goes great with cake?
01:06:17What?
01:06:19Coffee.
01:06:21Oops!
01:06:23Oops!
01:06:27You know what the hell?
01:06:29You better go get cleaned up.
01:06:31Wouldn't want to meet the judges looking like that.
01:06:33So unsanitary.
01:06:51Your knight in shining armor
01:06:53can't save your ass this time.
01:06:55Never leave.
01:06:57Our next competitor,
01:06:59Kindra Rossi.
01:07:03Hi, judge.
01:07:05This is my own
01:07:07one-of-a-kind original recipe.
01:07:11A vanilla rosemary
01:07:13five-layer cake
01:07:15with lavender buttercream
01:07:17and a hint of orange zest.
01:07:19That'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?
01:07:53I'm freaking Barlow for goodness sake.
01:07:55It's not that simple.
01:07:57I know Everly wouldn't want to win that way.
01:07:59Dammit.
01:08:01So what do we do now?
01:08:05Kindra can't get away with this.
01:08:07A nobody accusing me,
01:08:09a Rossi, of cheating?
01:08:13How dare you?
01:08:17You better go get cleaned up.
01:08:19Wouldn't want to meet the judges looking like that.
01:08:21So that's why you spilled coffee on me.
01:08:23So you could
01:08:25hack 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.
01:08:33Now,
01:08:35can you prove that this cake
01:08:37is your creation?
01:08:39Here's your proof.
01:08:45We
01:08:47can't see anything.
01:08:49The screen is blank.
01:08:51We can't
01:08:53see anything. The screen is blank.
01:08:55What happened to my files?
01:08:57They're not there.
01:08:59As I said, this recipe is mine.
01:09:01And mine alone.
01:09:03No, no, no, no. It's not true.
01:09:05Kendra Rossi, you're a thief.
01:09:07I think we've heard enough.
01:09:09Sir, I know this 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
01:09:17best that you leave the stage
01:09:19now, for I have to
01:09:21disqualify you.
01:09:23Isn't that the baker from
01:09:25Sweet Escape Bakery?
01:09:27Not going to her shop, ever.
01:09:33Wait!
01:09:35Wait!
01:09:39This'll prove the recipe is Everly's.
01:09:47Now, you're going to want to let it cool
01:09:49for about ten minutes.
01:09:51Hey, back on me. This is the important part.
01:09:53The last step is to lightly
01:09:55dust with a layer of orange zest.
01:09:57Just enough to reach the edges.
01:10:05And then you're going to want to add a pinch of salt.
01:10:09And, voila!
01:10:11You'll see the time stamp of this raw
01:10:13footage was taken two weeks ago.
01:10:15And speaking from experience,
01:10:17no one
01:10:19can make this cake exactly like my wife.
01:10:29Something's different.
01:10:31Taste for yourself.
01:10:37Salt.
01:10:39It's missing the salt.
01:10:41I didn't include it in my recipe notes.
01:10:43Ten minutes for the moment addition. Totally spontaneous.
01:10:45And yet,
01:10:47it made all the difference in the world.
01:10:49Salt?
01:10:51Salt?
01:11:09Salt or not,
01:11:11it's no ordinary cake.
01:11:13And it could only come
01:11:15from the heart and soul
01:11:17of an extraordinary
01:11:19baker.
01:11:25You almost ruined my wife today!
01:11:27This is your last straw!
01:11:29Confess or I'm calling the police!
01:11:31But I didn't.
01:11:33Okay, okay!
01:11:35I did it.
01:11:37I did it.
01:11:39All of it.
01:11:41Are you happy now?
01:11:43Dragging me in the mud like this in front of everyone?
01:11:45Julian, you broke my heart!
01:11:47You have to have a heart for it to be broken.
01:11:49How can you say that?
01:11:51I loved you
01:11:53more 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
01:12:03about her, Julian?
01:12:05She's not prettier than me.
01:12:07What do you possibly see in her
01:12:09that you don't see in me?
01:12:11Maybe I'm just a better baker than you, Kendra.
01:12:15Here.
01:12:17Have a taste.
01:12:19I don't want your stupid salt.
01:12:21Oh my god!
01:12:23It smells disgusting.
01:12:25It smells like
01:12:27a rotten potato chip
01:12:29and Bella could have made a 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, not listed,
01:13:01I add a little bit of salt on top just to balance
01:13:03everything out and 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 of this competition
01:13:19has ever compared
01:13:21to this year's first prize winner
01:13:23Everly Harper!
01:13:25This year's
01:13:27first prize winner
01:13:29Everly Harper!
01:13:33Congratulations, Miss Harper.
01:13:35Truly well-deserved.
01:13:37Would you excuse me?
01:13:43Oh, we did it, Samantha!
01:13:45We did it!
01:13:47No, Everly, you did this.
01:13:49Hold on.
01:13:51Listen to this.
01:13:53Orders are flooding in like crazy.
01:13:55No, no, no.
01:13:57I've got this. Trust me.
01:13:59Now get out of here. Go celebrate with your hubby.
01:14:01Yeah?
01:14:05I am so proud of you, Everly.
01:14:15I got lost.
01:14:17I'm more likely to stick a bitch
01:14:19than suck a dick right now.
01:14:21Good. Then we both want the same thing.
01:14:23Yeah?
01:14:25What's that?
01:14:27Revenge.
01:14:29I've spent weeks learning everything I can
01:14:31about Julian Barlow and Everly Harper's relationship.
01:14:33And I think what I found
01:14:35might interest 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.
01:14:43So I have a plan
01:14:45that'll get us both what we want.
01:14:47I'm listening.
01:14:49Am I doing it right?
01:14:51Those look great.
01:14:53Just squeeze your bag a little bit tighter.
01:14:55More icing equals more smiles.
01:14:57Okay.
01:14:59Time to switch to croissants.
01:15:01The chocolate-filled kind?
01:15:03All different kinds.
01:15:05Can you go in the freezer in the back
01:15:07and get me two blocks of butter?
01:15:09They are left-side, middle shelf.
01:15:11Left-side, middle shelf, two blocks.
01:15:13Okay.
01:15:15I'll be right back.
01:15:17Left-side, middle shelf, two blocks.
01:15:19Got it.
01:15:35You're coming with me, Bella.
01:15:37I'm your mother.
01:15:39Not that whore.
01:15:41Save your breath, kid.
01:15:43She can't hear you anyway.
01:15:45Everly!
01:15:47Everly! Shut up.
01:15:51Go!
01:15:53Go!
01:16:15Bella? Bella?
01:16:17Bella!
01:16:23Bella!
01:16:31Everly!
01:16:33Back here!
01:16:37It's...
01:16:39Shh.
01:16:49This is Julian Barlow.
01:16:51And if I don't get 200 million
01:16:53in cash by sundown, she won't see the sunrise.
01:16:55What did you do with Bella?
01:16:57Who is this?
01:16:59Ten million. Unmarked bills split into
01:17:01two separate duffel bags.
01:17:03Let me talk to Bella. I need to know she's safe.
01:17:05Only after I get the money.
01:17:07Damn you!
01:17:09She's just a little girl.
01:17:11There's an abandoned campsite at the end of Canyon Ridge Road.
01:17:13Put the cash inside the office cabin
01:17:15and come alone,
01:17:17because I'll be watching.
01:17:19Bella!
01:17:25What are we gonna do?
01:17:27I'll call my bank
01:17:29and I'll get the money within an hour.
01:17:35Hello? Anybody?
01:17:37Hello?
01:17:39What is she doing here?
01:17:41I need an explanation for this.
01:17:43Mother, now is not the time for this.
01:17:45I had to learn from Kendra that you're not married at all
01:17:47and that you fake everything.
01:17:49What is this? This is from my safe.
01:17:51Combination with Bella's birthday.
01:17:53Very sloppy of you, Julian.
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, but I didn't know she was a tramp for hire.
01:18:03Silence!
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. She's been kidnapped.
01:18:13My grandbaby has been kidnapped?
01:18:15What happened?
01:18:17Bella and I were baking and someone grabbed me.
01:18:21I blacked out and when I woke up, she was gone.
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, Bella's life is at stake.
01:18:39Ew.
01:18:41It smells.
01:18:43Should we just let common street trash walk in here?
01:18:45Don't talk about him like that.
01:18:47Bernie is a veteran. He served our country.
01:18:49Honey, I'm sorry, Bernie.
01:18:51I don't have fidels for you today.
01:18:53But I have something for you.
01:18:55That lady?
01:18:57I saw her. And a tall man.
01:19:03Go back and crawl into whatever hole you came out of, you filthy animal.
01:19:07I saw them.
01:19:09They took that little girl.
01:19:11Fucking bitch!
01:19:13What did you do?
01:19:15Where's Bella?
01:19:17He's obviously deranged. Or on drugs. Or both.
01:19:19The tall man.
01:19:21Did he have short blonde hair?
01:19:23Athletic build?
01:19:27Nolan.
01:19:29She's working with Nolan.
01:19:31Where is she?
01:19:33Where's Bella? Tell me now!
01:19:35I...
01:19:39Oh!
01:19:41What the hell?
01:19:43Where's my daughter?
01:19:49Where is she?
01:20:05Daddy?
01:20:07Are you okay?
01:20:13My little escape artist.
01:20:15You can come out now, Munchkin.
01:20:17It's safe.
01:20:19Daddy and Evelyn are here.
01:20:31This is ridiculous!
01:20:33It's not kidnapping if it's your own child!
01:20:37It's over.
01:20:39It's finally over.
01:20:41Isn't me and Mommy gone for good, Daddy?
01:20:43She'll never bother you again, Munchkin.
01:20:45I want you both to know that
01:20:47I'm very ashamed for my part in Kendra's scheme.
01:20:51But you can't continue this fake marriage.
01:20:53You're right, Mother.
01:20:59Everly Harper?
01:21:01Where are you now?
01:21:03I don't know.
01:21:05Everly Harper,
01:21:07you're the most loving, brave,
01:21:09and talented woman I've ever known.
01:21:11Your beauty is just dessert
01:21:13after a rich meal.
01:21:15My life fills full with you in it.
01:21:17Will you do me the honor
01:21:19of marrying me?
01:21:21And me!
01:21:27Julian Barlow,
01:21:29if I was to create a recipe
01:21:31for the bravest, smartest,
01:21:33most loving man,
01:21:35it would be you.
01:21:37Your wealth is not a dessert,
01:21:39but a mere appetizer.
01:21:41So, yes, I will marry you.
01:21:43And you, too.
01:21:49I don't know what all that nonsense
01:21:51about food was,
01:21:53but the rest was lovely.
01:21:55I guess I'll give the girl a chance
01:21:57if she can make my son and grandbaby
01:21:59smile like that.
01:22:03This way, look at this way.
01:22:05Here they come.
01:22:07Do you see them?
01:22:15So pretty.
01:22:21I helped make that.
01:22:23Yes, you did, Bella.
01:22:25Have you guys ever seen
01:22:27such a beautiful family?
01:22:29I'm so happy for you.
01:22:33Mommy,
01:22:35how about a cake fight?
01:22:37You're a girl after my own heart,
01:22:39Bella.
01:22:41Everybody, cake fight!
01:23:01Cake fight!
01:23:17Couldn't you have
01:23:19gotten me something more practical?
01:23:21This is going to be a bear to bake with.
01:23:23Only my wife would complain about a 15-carat
01:23:25flawless diamond being too big.
01:23:27Sorry.
01:23:29I'm not.
01:23:33God, I love you.
01:23:37Hey, Mr. Barlow.
01:23:39Hey, Miss Barlow.
01:23:41You said I was changing
01:23:43my name.
01:23:47On the topic of change,
01:23:49I've been thinking.
01:23:51Bella needs a playmate.
01:23:53What do you think we give her a sibling?
01:23:55Just one.
01:23:57Foster kid here.
01:23:59I always dreamed of having a big family.
01:24:01Well, how big are we talking?
