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 Delaney, I'm sorry.
00:01:03I will be hiring a new nanny soon.
00:01:05Well, how long do you think this is going to last?
00:01:07She's scared off three in a year.
00:01:10I don't want a nanny. I want a mommy.
00:01:24I'm not ever leaving.
00:01:25Can you see? It's a circus out there.
00:01:27It's 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.
00:01:51When your mother proposed this blind date,
00:01:53I was a little hesitant.
00:01:55I 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.
00:02:02In 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.
00:02:20Wait for it.
00:02:22Why, hello, Mother.
00:02:23Julian, Bianca is hysterical and you have embarrassed me.
00:02:28Well, stop setting me up with random women.
00:02:30I'm not getting married again.
00:02:31Once was enough.
00:02:32Kendra and the race car driver have ended it.
00:02:35Right now, you have sole custody of Bella.
00:02:38But the courts favor the mother, Julian.
00:02:40You and I both know Kendra could show up at any time
00:02:43and demand that Bella live with her just to spite you.
00:02:47I'm not letting that witch anywhere near my daughter.
00:02:49Find yourself a wife and show the world a stable family.
00:02:53Not for your own happiness, then for your child's.
00:03:00Mother might be dramatic,
00:03:02but she's right about Bella needing a mom.
00:03:05Perhaps a fake wife would do.
00:03:09Got vanilla for you.
00:03:12What's your favorite flavor?
00:03:14Chocolate.
00:03:16What's your favorite flavor?
00:03:18Chocolate.
00:03:20So, do you want to know what makes everything taste so good?
00:03:24The secret ingredient is...
00:03:29love.
00:03:40I'm so exhausted. I'm heading home. You coming?
00:03:42I'm going to stay and finish the engagement cake for tomorrow.
00:03:44Okay.
00:03:46Hey, Bernie.
00:03:48Let me grab you the day holds.
00:03:56Tell Rose and Pete I included the pecan cinnamon rolls just for them.
00:04:11Oh, my gosh. You scared me.
00:04:14Where did you come from, sweetheart?
00:04:16Where are your parents?
00:04:18Are you lost?
00:04:20What's your name?
00:04:22I'm Everly.
00:04:24You don't want to tell me, huh?
00:04:28Guess I'll just have to guess.
00:04:30Your name is Olga.
00:04:34Gertrude.
00:04:36Prudence.
00:04:38Hazel.
00:04:39Constance.
00:04:40Phyllis.
00:04:41Henrietta.
00:04:43Bertha.
00:04:44It's Bella!
00:04:47The birthday girl.
00:04:48She must have stowed away in the truck.
00:04:50Bella!
00:04:57You scared me, Bella Barlow.
00:05:00Sorry, Daddy.
00:05:01What were you thinking?
00:05:02I found my mommy!
00:05:08I'm so sorry. She's never done anything like this.
00:05:11I want Everly to be my mommy.
00:05:13Bella, munchkin. Please.
00:05:16You know, my daddy has lots of money.
00:05:19All you have to do is marry him and be my mommy.
00:05:22Bella, you don't marry someone for money.
00:05:25You do it because you love them so much.
00:05:28And it feels like they're a part of you.
00:05:31Like you can't picture your life without them in it.
00:05:35I 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.
00:05:55So a hot guy and a cute little girl were like,
00:05:57come be my insta-family?
00:05:59The little girl was. The dad was kind of mortified.
00:06:02Bella reminds me of what I was like after the car accident.
00:06:05Kept going up to perfect strangers, looking for my parents.
00:06:08Just couldn't accept that they were gone.
00:06:15Hey, beautiful. I miss you already.
00:06:17When are you back from your business trip?
00:06:19I'm back Monday. We'll see each other then.
00:06:22Are you calling me from the bathroom?
00:06:25No, the guests next door are just really loud.
00:06:28I gotta go. I love you.
00:06:35Hello, Earth to Everly.
00:06:38What?
00:06:39I was just thinking about what I told the little girl.
00:06:41All the reasons you marry someone,
00:06:43but I've never actually felt any of those things.
00:06:46Well, you better decide sooner rather than later.
00:06:48Well, Nolan and I have been together since high school.
00:06:51Loyalty counts for something.
00:06:53At least what we have is real.
00:06:57Okay, this hotel is huge.
00:06:59Where is the engagement party being held?
00:07:01Uh, restaurant.
00:07:03Okay, yes.
00:07:09I'm bored.
00:07:10I'm sorry, Munchkin, but after yesterday,
00:07:12I'm not letting you out of my sight.
00:07:14Bella was bad.
00:07:15Bella was very bad,
00:07:17but I'll take you to get ice cream if you're very good.
00:07:22I want coffee.
00:07:25I want cupcake.
00:07:27Nice try, kiddo.
00:07:49That must be the bride-to-be.
00:07:51Hey, delivery for the lovely bride.
00:07:53Can I just get your signature on this really quick?
00:08:00Oh, my gosh.
00:08:02Everly.
00:08:04Well, you haven't changed a bit since high school, huh?
00:08:08Still a pathetic orphan with no money?
00:08:11Or taste.
00:08:13Olivia, this is your engagement party?
00:08:16Who would marry a raging bully like you?
00:08:19Everly, what are you doing here?
00:08:24Nolan, I...
00:08:26I don't understand.
00:08:28Isn't it obvious, you ignorant nobody?
00:08:32Nolan's been cheating on you.
00:08:35With me.
00:08:43Is it true, Nolan?
00:08:45Yeah, I can explain.
00:08:46No, is it true?
00:08:48You've been sleeping with Olivia?
00:08:52You saw how she treated me.
00:08:53She made my high school life a living hell.
00:08:56You hate her just as much as I do.
00:08:59Well, if that's hate sex,
00:09:01then sign me up for a lifetime of it.
00:09:05Nolan's a sexy beast, aren't you, darling?
00:09:08Oh, but you wouldn't know about that, Everly.
00:09:11Being the pity fuck that you are.
00:09:14You set this whole thing up, didn't you, Olivia?
00:09:17Did you think you could date both of us?
00:09:19Marry both of us?
00:09:21No.
00:09:23Nolan, you have to choose.
00:09:25You can be with me and live the good life,
00:09:28or you can be with this dirty orphan
00:09:32who will always be poor,
00:09:34pathetic white trash her entire life
00:09:38and who will drag you down with her.
00:09:44I'm sorry.
00:09:47I'm sorry, Everly. I just, I can't be poor.
00:09:50I can't.
00:09:52I'm so sorry.
00:10:02This isn't happening.
00:10:04I'm in some kind of post-high school nightmare
00:10:06where the mean girl still wins.
00:10:12I don't like her. She's mean.
00:10:14Hello, where did you come from?
00:10:17Is she an evil witch?
00:10:19You little shit.
00:10:20Who the hell let this wretched brat in here?
00:10:22Hey, watch your mouth, Olivia.
00:10:24You can't talk to her like that.
00:10:27I can say whatever the hell I want.
00:10:31And both of you, get out.
00:10:33And take this disgusting cake with you.
00:10:35It's garbage, just like you.
00:10:41What are you, crazy? You could have hurt her.
00:10:43Too bad I missed.
00:10:47Oh, my goodness.
00:10:49Get off me.
00:10:54Choke on it, bitch.
00:10:59I'm gonna destroy you.
00:11:02Good luck with that.
00:11:04You already tried in high school, but I'm stronger now.
00:11:06Keep going with my blessing.
00:11:09Nolan, do something.
00:11:12Ever flee?
00:11:20Touch my kid and you're dead.
00:11:22Who the hell are you?
00:11:23I'm with her.
00:11:24Since when?
00:11:25That's none of your business.
00:11:29Ooh, hold still.
00:11:31You have some frost in there.
00:11:35Stop, don't.
00:11:37It's Julie Barlow.
00:11:39Are you aware of Barlow Hotels and Resorts?
00:11:41He owns this very hotel.
00:11:44You're lucky I don't sue you both for attempting to assault a minor.
00:11:47I didn't know it was your kid.
00:11:49So she's a poor girl, hurting her is okay?
00:11:51This party's over, you two are banned for life from every Barlow property in the world.
00:11:57So this is what having someone stand up for you feels like.
00:12:05They were bad, daddy.
00:12:07There's a lot of bad people out there, that's why you can't run off the way you did.
00:12:10But I thought I'd really want to be with her.
00:12:14You need some rest.
00:12:16Go to the car.
00:12:18I love you, Edwin.
00:12:25Thank you for protecting my daughter.
00:12:27Thank you for saving me from my cheating ex-fiancé.
00:12:31That sounds like a desperate man trying to win you back.
00:12:35Yeah.
00:12:37Not happening.
00:12:44Seems we have a problem, Miss Harper.
00:12:47My daughter's heart is set on you being her mother.
00:12:53You also have a problem with your ex not getting the message.
00:12:56I propose a pretend relationship.
00:12:58Like a fake marriage?
00:13:00Exactly.
00:13:01I can protect you from your ex-fiancé,
00:13:03and you can help me protect Bella from herself and my ex,
00:13:06if she comes back into town.
00:13:08Is your ex really that bad?
00:13:10Kendra makes your high school nemesis look like a teddy bear.
00:13:14Do we have a deal?
00:13:16What if you want to be with someone for real?
00:13:18I won't.
00:13:20I've sworn I'm not interested.
00:13:23I won't.
00:13:25I've sworn I'm not going to get married again.
00:13:35Yes, Mr. Barlow.
00:13:37You have a deal.
00:13:39Tomorrow night is the annual charity gala.
00:13:42Black Tie.
00:13:44There we'll introduce you to society.
00:13:46Well, why don't we start out slow?
00:13:50My mother will know if we don't show up as newlyweds.
00:13:53Didn't you say she lives in Paris?
00:13:55She has spies everywhere.
00:13:58Did she go to the gala with me?
00:14:00No, she didn't.
00:14:02I don't think so.
00:14:04I don't think so either.
00:14:07Did she 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.
00:14:35I'm a baker, not a socialite.
00:14:38You've been hanging out with the wrong crowd.
00:14:43Maybe I have.
00:14:46Do you mind?
00:14:47My mother will want a picture of the newlyweds.
00:14:58Well, one other thing.
00:15:01Don't fall for me.
00:15:05Same goes for you.
00:15:19Well, hello, mother.
00:15:21You're married?
00:15:22Who is this girl?
00:15:24Her name is Everly Harper.
00:15:26She's a sous-chef, cordon bleu trained,
00:15:29but she calls herself a baker.
00:15:31Ridiculous.
00:15:33Well, her parents died when she was six,
00:15:36and since then she's had no relatives.
00:15:39She became a ward of the state
00:15:41and bounced around foster care,
00:15:44never really having a permanent home.
00:15:46So she's an orphan without social connections.
00:15:49What are her financials?
00:15:51Well, she has some student loan debt,
00:15:53and her business is barely making it.
00:15:55Despite that, she's won numerous awards
00:15:58and competitions for her.
00:16:01Oh, my God, she's dirt poor.
00:16:04You've married a gold digger, Julian.
00:16:06Well, to be honest, my wealth is probably a bad thing in this case.
00:16:10She'd rather me be middle class.
00:16:12Well, then she's a fool.
00:16:14Who wouldn't want a billionaire husband?
00:16:16Well, Bella chose her to be her mother.
00:16:22Well, I'm just upset that my only son didn't inform me he was married.
00:16:25We'll be in touch.
00:16:31That went exactly as expected.
00:16:34Yay! I'm really going to be my new mommy!
00:16:37I should start calling you my little spy.
00:16:40When does she move in?
00:16:42Um, I'm not sure. We haven't had that discussion.
00:16:45And she's going to bake me more magical cookies filled with love.
00:16:49Has she done that before?
00:16:52Well, yes. Soon she'll be here,
00:16:54and she'll bake you many things full of love.
00:16:57Yay! Yay!
00:17:05Wait, you fake Mary and Julie and Barlow?
00:17:08I know, it's insane.
00:17:10Oh, my God, you do know that your hubby is worth like $100 billion, right?
00:17:14Very funny.
00:17:16You do?
00:17:18I'm not joking.
00:17:20Whoa, I've never seen that many zeros in one spot.
00:17:23Oh, my God, bestie!
00:17:25You're literally married to one of the richest dudes on the planet.
00:17:28Olivia and her totes are totally going to flip out.
00:17:30We have to go to the high school reunion next weekend.
00:17:32I thought you said we were skipping that.
00:17:34Uh-uh, uh-uh, not anymore. We are going.
00:17:37Oh, come on. Please, please, please.
00:17:40Think about it.
00:17:42Yay!
00:17:44Why would someone like him even want a pretend marriage?
00:17:46I mean, he's charming, handsome, brilliant, and a good dad.
00:17:52Like, he could easily find a real wife.
00:17:54Maybe he's just avoiding commitment.
00:17:56You know, classic playboy move.
00:17:58He doesn't strike me as that type.
00:18:00Look at you, playing the little protective wife already.
00:18:03Shut up.
00:18:05So, when does Miss Barlow make her big debut?
00:18:08Tonight, actually.
00:18:11Care to help me find a dress for some exclusive gala?
00:18:14Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.
00:18:16This is the most exclusive credit card.
00:18:18That's all credit cards.
00:18:19You can buy an island with this thing.
00:18:21I'm going to be sick.
00:18:23I have to find a way to give it back to him.
00:18:25Everly Harper, you will do no such thing.
00:18:28Can you please just be a little selfish for the both of us and live a little?
00:18:33You're right.
00:18:35Let's do this.
00:18:37Yay!
00:18:49Okay, I can't do this.
00:18:50$40,000 for a dress is insane.
00:18:52I'd pay an entire village for that price.
00:18:54Yeah, crazy world we live in.
00:18:56Hello, ladies.
00:18:57My name is Pilar.
00:18:59Should we try something on?
00:19:01It appears to be your size, but I do have a seamstress on standby.
00:19:04Can I maybe rent it instead?
00:19:06Rent?
00:19:09That'll be $1,000 a day, plus a $4,000 security deposit.
00:19:14Can you afford that?
00:19:17Oh, my goodness, what manual labor job do you do?
00:19:20I'm a baker.
00:19:22Absolutely no rental for you.
00:19:25Those rough worker hands will snag the delicate fabric.
00:19:28There's a thrift store down the way that might be more at your speed.
00:19:33You don't understand.
00:19:34I'm attending the annual Celestial Charity Gala tonight.
00:19:36It's strictly black tie.
00:19:37Then what are you doing at Celestial, the most exclusive event in town?
00:19:41I know.
00:19:42You must be a waitress handing out caravans.
00:19:45Just buy it, then.
00:19:50This is a black card.
00:19:52Obviously.
00:19:55Held up at boutique.
00:19:57Not going too well.
00:20:01Well, well, well.
00:20:03This card belongs to Mr. Barlow.
00:20:05How did it end up in your hands?
00:20:07Mr. Barlow happens to be my best friend's husband.
00:20:11As if.
00:20:13You must have stolen it.
00:20:15Security!
00:20:16Arrest these scammers, frauds in effect, and fraud.
00:20:19Get your hands off of her, you animal.
00:20:23Let us...
00:20:27We're not thieves.
00:20:29You're making a mistake.
00:20:30The card was given to me.
00:20:31We're innocent.
00:20:37Get this trash out of my face.
00:20:41Let them go.
00:20:43Let them go.
00:20:49Mr. Barlow, you're right on time.
00:20:51Okay, I just caught these scammers trying to charge $5,000 to your card.
00:20:55$5,000?
00:20:56When have you ever sold a dress under 30 grand?
00:20:58That was me.
00:21:00I was trying to rent it and said, no dress is worth that much.
00:21:03Are you kidding me?
00:21:04Don't fall for this innocent act.
00:21:06She's a clever scammer.
00:21:08Did you see anything you liked?
00:21:10This one.
00:21:11But we were told to shop at the thrift shop.
00:21:14I'm Samantha, by the way.
00:21:15I've heard so much about you.
00:21:17Pleasure to meet you, Samantha.
00:21:19Pilar, my wife was looking to outfit herself for tonight's gala entirely through your boutique.
00:21:24Unfortunately, you cut up our card.
00:21:30So she...
00:21:32She really is your...
00:21:35Wife?
00:21:36At Barlow, we believe in treating everyone with respect and dignity.
00:21:40Isn't your lease up in 30 days?
00:21:43Mr. Barlow, I am so, so sorry.
00:21:46Okay, Mrs. Barlow, please, here.
00:21:48Take the dress, it's on the house.
00:21:50It's not necessary.
00:21:51Just bill my account.
00:21:55And Barlow won't renew your lease.
00:21:57Not here, not anywhere.
00:22:00You're done, Pilar.
00:22:02I'll make sure you never work in retail again.
00:22:10Yes.
00:22:27I realize right now, this is the first time I'm seeing the real Evelyn.
00:22:31You've been hiding in plain sight.
00:22:33You know what, George, look over here.
00:22:35Is this your plus one for the night?
00:22:37What's her name, man?
00:22:39I got you.
00:22:40What's her name?
00:22:53I feel like I don't fit in here.
00:22:56You don't fit in, Evelyn.
00:22:58You stand out.
00:22:59Don't be so obvious, Everly.
00:23:01You can't let yourself fall for him.
00:23:03It's true, everyone here is rich.
00:23:05But they're all human.
00:23:06Flaws and all.
00:23:09That's Chase and Daisy Harrington.
00:23:11They're in bank.
00:23:12I don't think you mean they work at the Teller window.
00:23:15Chase can often be found at the dog trunk.
00:23:17And Daisy's a lush.
00:23:19She's probably spiked her wine with vodka already.
00:23:21Julian, that's awful.
00:23:23And that's Lily Blake Dubois.
00:23:26And her second husband.
00:23:27He's 25 years her junior.
00:23:29Men date women who are younger than them all the time.
00:23:32She was the PTA president.
00:23:34And he was in ninth grade with her son when they met.
00:23:37When they started their affair.
00:23:38Oh, my God.
00:23:39Okay, stop. I get it.
00:23:41I am no longer intimidated by anyone in here.
00:23:44Mission accomplished.
00:23:46Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:23:51Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:23:55I'm too old for surprises, mother.
00:23:57You flew from Paris for nothing.
00:23:59Nothing?
00:24:01You're making a fool of yourself with this gold digger.
00:24:04Miss Barlow, let's get two things straight.
00:24:07One, my name is Everly Harper.
00:24:10And two, I am not a gold digger.
00:24:13I've earned my keep since I was six years old.
00:24:15And I started my business from scratch.
00:24:17I don't need your money.
00:24:19But I would like your respect.
00:24:21So, I won't let anyone talk down to me.
00:24:24Even if you are Julian's mother.
00:24:26Impudent girl.
00:24:27Meddling mother.
00:24:31Aren't you going to say anything?
00:24:33Meddling mother?
00:24:35I couldn't have put it better myself.
00:24:39I don't know what you did to trick my son into marriage.
00:24:42But I have my eye on you, Everly Harper.
00:24:45One false move, and you are through.
00:24:48Alright, that's enough.
00:24:50Enjoy your evening alone, mother.
00:25:02Everly, I want to apologize.
00:25:05My mother was out of line.
00:25:07She didn't expect it either.
00:25:09She's so determined, she won't back down.
00:25:11We need to make sure she doesn't start digging into the details of our marriage.
00:25:16So, what's our next steps?
00:25:18I want you to move in with me.
00:25:23It was going to happen sooner or later.
00:25:25Mother just expedited it.
00:25:27That goes to the kitchen.
00:25:31Living room.
00:25:32Living room.
00:25:34It's just all moving a little too fast.
00:25:36I mean, one minute Julian's asking me to move in with him,
00:25:39and the next, movers are packing my stuff.
00:25:41But you gotta love a man that takes action, you know?
00:25:43You are oddly chipper about all this.
00:25:45I mean, here I was feeling bad about leaving you to find a new roommate.
00:25:48I don't know, I think I'm going to try living alone for a while.
00:25:50Samantha, how can you afford that?
00:25:52The new landlord lowered everyone's rent.
00:25:54Since when?
00:25:55Since you became his fake bride.
00:25:58He knew that you felt bad for me,
00:26:00and so he bought the entire apartment complex
00:26:02and lowered everyone's rent.
00:26:04That's...
00:26:06That's...
00:26:07Insane!
00:26:09Everly, billionaires don't think like normal people, sweetie.
00:26:12This is your life now.
00:26:13You need to get used to it, okay?
00:26:20Are we going to have gazpacho for dinner?
00:26:23If it pleases Miss Bella to have gazpacho.
00:26:26Hello!
00:26:27Okay, what can I get you today?
00:26:30You're welcome.
00:26:38Shouldn't take me longer than two days to inspect the site in Indonesia.
00:26:42Are you sure you can watch Bella?
00:26:44I haven't hired a nanny yet, and she tires Miss Delaney out.
00:26:48Don't worry about us, you focus on work.
00:26:50Bella and I will be just fine.
00:26:52I'll take you to the bakery with me, she'll have a blast.
00:26:54Here's a detailed list of her routines,
00:26:57do's and don'ts, allergies, emergency contact information,
00:27:01all the information you'll ever need.
00:27:03Love soccer, allergic to strawberries, doctor's number.
00:27:07I'm impressed.
00:27:08I wouldn't have thought a CEO like you would be this hands-on with this kid.
00:27:11Well, you thought wrong.
00:27:13Bella means the world to me.
00:27:16Daddy, why are you staring at Evelyn like that?
00:27:20You like her.
00:27:22Sorry, she doesn't know what she's talking about.
00:27:24Well, sometimes kids have a way of knowing the truth.
00:27:27They also have a way of being annoying.
00:27:29Well, anyways, me and Bun-Bun wanted to play airplane.
00:27:33All right, Munchkin, you have one minute.
00:27:35Okay.
00:27:37So this is what a happy family looks like.
00:27:40It looks so nice.
00:27:42I wonder if we could be a real family someday, just the three of us.
00:28:07Okay, Chef, what's on the menu today?
00:28:10Um, chocolate cupcakes and chocolate donuts and chocolate cake.
00:28:16Oh, and chocolate chip cookies.
00:28:18I'm sensing a chocolate theme.
00:28:20Okay, it's time to get to work, Chef.
00:28:22Whoopee, Chef!
00:28:28Ta-da!
00:28:29What do you think, Chef?
00:28:34I can taste the love.
00:28:35The what?
00:28:36The magic ingredient. I can taste it.
00:28:38That's good.
00:28:42Um, Evelyn?
00:28:43Hmm?
00:28:44Do you like my dad?
00:28:46Of course I like him. He's a great guy and a good dad.
00:28:50So you could become my mommy for real?
00:28:53Bella, I don't know what the future holds,
00:28:57but I know you have a very special place in my heart, okay?
00:29:01Okay.
00:29:06Whoa, that was fast.
00:29:09Okay, it's time for rest.
00:29:15Daddy!
00:29:23Oh, my God, I'm falling for him.
00:29:28Daddy!
00:29:30Did you miss me, Munchkin?
00:29:32So much, but Everly's the best.
00:29:34I got to be a chef.
00:29:36And we had a movie marathon.
00:29:38And I got to sleep in sheep tents in the living room.
00:29:41And we ate in the kitchen with Mrs. Delaney,
00:29:44who was all frowny, but then she was all smiley.
00:29:47I like the kitchen better than the dining room.
00:29:49Can we eat there from now on?
00:29:51I see you've made some changes.
00:29:53Very minor ones.
00:29:55Oops, did I say something bad?
00:29:57No, Munchkin. Daddy's just learning his little set-in-his-ways.
00:30:00You can do everything, Dad.
00:30:02But you're a bad cook.
00:30:04And Everly's way better at girl stuff.
00:30:06You're like the prince, and Everly's the princess.
00:30:08And we can all live happily ever after.
00:30:10With fun ones, of course.
00:30:16Kids and their fairy tales.
00:30:18She'll understand that we can't be more than a pretend couple when she's older.
00:30:22Of course. She's still too little.
00:30:25We can't be more than a pretend couple.
00:30:28Right. It felt so real.
00:30:30I let myself forget it was a fake marriage.
00:30:33Can Everly be anything more?
00:30:42My God. You have to go.
00:30:45Oh, come on. Olivia and Nolan are gonna gossip about us if you do not show your face tomorrow.
00:30:49They're going to do that regardless.
00:30:51I'm sorry, Sammy. I thought about it, and I don't want to go to our high school reunion.
00:30:54Okay, hear me out. Just picture this.
00:30:56You walk in with your new, hot, billionaire husband.
00:30:59It's the perfect revenge for the mean girls that used to call us poor losers.
00:31:02No, I would never use Julian in that way.
00:31:05Well, if the thing is, I already told them that you would be there with him.
00:31:08Shh.
00:31:09Okay, don't get upset. Don't get upset.
00:31:11It's just that Olivia posted that we were lying skinks.
00:31:13And then I kind of just blew it from there.
00:31:15And then all of a sudden...
00:31:16Samantha, you make everything ten times worse.
00:31:18Don't worry. I'll go with you.
00:31:20I can't let my wife be humiliated.
00:31:22I came by to take you to dinner as a thank you for helping me with Bella.
00:31:26Did he really mean that?
00:31:28His wife?
00:31:30You should take the day off tomorrow and go pamper yourself.
00:31:33I'll make the arrangements with the hotel spa.
00:31:35On one condition.
00:31:37Can you make the reservation for two?
00:31:40I can do that.
00:31:48I want to get my nails done, too.
00:31:50What color do you want to get, Bella?
00:31:51The exact same as you.
00:31:52I also want to get some for Bun Bun.
00:31:54Mm-hmm.
00:31:55He looks slay with those.
00:31:57You're so adorable.
00:31:59How could any mother abandon you?
00:32:02I wish you were really mine.
00:32:09Oh, my.
00:32:10Mr. Barlow said that you might need some help getting into it.
00:32:15I can't wear that, Miss Delaney.
00:32:17It's too beautiful and definitely way too expensive.
00:32:20Nonsense, dear.
00:32:22Mr. Barlow said to tell you you're the only one that can do it justice.
00:32:29Now, let's see it on you.
00:32:38I want to thank you for the dress.
00:32:41I'll find a way to pay you back.
00:32:42Seeing you in it is payment enough.
00:32:45You are drop dead gorgeous, Everly.
00:32:48It's not me, it's the dress.
00:32:50Why do you do that?
00:32:52Why do you downplay your beauty?
00:32:53I don't like to draw attention to myself.
00:32:57You shouldn't have to dim your light to make others feel good about themselves.
00:33:01Mr. Barlow, sir, there is a visitor here demanding to speak with you.
00:33:06I'm not expecting anyone.
00:33:08It's your ex-wife.
00:33:14It's your ex-wife.
00:33:18I'm not expecting anyone.
00:33:20It's your ex-wife.
00:33:24It's your ex-wife.
00:33:27It's your ex-wife.
00:33:30It's your ex-wife.
00:33:37I put Miss Rossi in the guest room.
00:33:38Where's Bella?
00:33:39She's with Miss Delaney in the playroom.
00:33:40Good. We need to keep Bella away from Kendra.
00:33:45I have to deal with her. I'll join you at the reunion when I'm done.
00:33:47I can just not go.
00:33:48No, Kendra is not going to disrupt our plans.
00:33:51My driver will take you there. I promise.
00:33:57It's been so long, Julian.
00:33:59What do you want?
00:34:01I want my daughter.
00:34:03I want Bella.
00:34:11I heard Everly is coming to the reunion.
00:34:14I thought that she would never show her face here ever again.
00:34:18Everly? The foster kid weirdo?
00:34:21Yeah, well, she destroyed my engagement party, so I'm going to destroy her tonight.
00:34:25Didn't Samantha say she's married to Julian Barlow?
00:34:28What if he's going to come with her?
00:34:29He might fuck her, but a Barlow is not going to marry trash like her.
00:34:50She should be mine.
00:34:59Eyes on me, Nolan.
00:35:00They really did recreate senior prom.
00:35:02Yep, all the ways, the tacky decorations, and the cheesy DJ.
00:35:06Last time I was here, I was with Nolan.
00:35:08My foster mom at the time helped make my dress, and it looked it.
00:35:12We didn't even get our first dance before Olivia told everyone I had an STD.
00:35:15That's right, and then Nolan couldn't take it and he bailed.
00:35:19We should have known then that he was a dick.
00:35:21Yeah, I forgave him.
00:35:22No one could stand up for Olivia, myself included at that time.
00:35:26Let's slay this bitch.
00:35:27I mean the dance, of course.
00:35:30That dress looks like it cost a fortune.
00:35:33What do you think, Olivia?
00:35:35You're a fashion expert.
00:35:37It can't be the Nightingale of Hanoi.
00:35:40That dress is worth millions.
00:35:43It's just a cheap knockoff.
00:35:45Come on, girls.
00:35:46Let's give Everly a high school reunion she'll never forget.
00:35:51Let's give Everly a high school reunion she'll never forget.
00:35:56Hey.
00:35:57Where's your husband?
00:35:58Julian's on his way.
00:35:59Shut up, loser. No one's talking to you.
00:36:01Bitch.
00:36:02Give it up, Everly.
00:36:03We all know he got bored and dumped you.
00:36:09Like, okay.
00:36:11Did you just fucking shrug at me?
00:36:14Mm-hmm.
00:36:15Apparently you've forgotten your place.
00:36:17Must be that dress giving you attitude, but it's a cheap knockoff just like you.
00:36:22I don't think it's a knockoff.
00:36:24It's a gift from my husband.
00:36:26Give it up, bitch.
00:36:28We all know you're lying your husband, your dress.
00:36:32I call bullshit.
00:36:33Grow up, Olivia.
00:36:35You're too old to still be a mean girl.
00:36:47Hey, no, no, no.
00:36:48Let go of me, Nolan.
00:36:49Get your hands off of her.
00:36:51Just because you're fucking a Barlow doesn't make you royalty.
00:36:55Take that fake dress off, or I'll take it off for you.
00:36:59What makes you think it's fake?
00:37:00You clueless bitch.
00:37:02I'm a fashion influencer.
00:37:05With 1.8 million followers, you expect me to believe that white trash like you are wearing the Nightingale of Hanoi gown valued at $10 million?
00:37:18That's why Julian grinned when I said I'd pay him back for the dress.
00:37:23Take it off.
00:37:28Hey.
00:37:29No, get off of her.
00:37:35Let go.
00:37:36No.
00:37:38No.
00:37:39No.
00:37:44Stop.
00:37:45Get away from my wife.
00:37:48Get away from my wife.
00:38:02I'm sorry I'm late.
00:38:03The dress is ruined.
00:38:05Please tell me it wasn't worth millions of dollars.
00:38:08I can't tell you that.
00:38:10Apologize to my wife.
00:38:11Now.
00:38:12We were just joking.
00:38:14And I'm sorry.
00:38:15We were just joking.
00:38:16You know, fooling around.
00:38:19My wife was on the ground soaking wet.
00:38:21Dressed torn.
00:38:22What you did was battery and harassment.
00:38:25My lawyer's not going to think that's funny.
00:38:26I sure as hell don't.
00:38:28Lawyers?
00:38:30Who the hell are you?
00:38:32That's Julian Barlow.
00:38:33He's one of the richest men in the world.
00:38:35Do you know how much this dress is worth?
00:38:37Every bead is a genuine, flawless diamond.
00:38:41Miss St. James, you just ruined a $10 million gown.
00:38:44Oh, shit.
00:38:46No.
00:38:48No, no.
00:38:49That, no.
00:38:50That can't be.
00:38:51You better start liquidating all your assets.
00:38:52Including your parents' house.
00:38:54Because the insurance company is coming for your ass.
00:38:56Then the police.
00:38:58Good luck finding a job in fashion
00:38:59after ruining one of the most famous dresses in the world.
00:39:04That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:39:08That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:39:10You did this.
00:39:11You set me up.
00:39:13You did it to yourself.
00:39:15Nolan, do something.
00:39:17I left the woman I love because you said we'd be rich
00:39:20and now you have nothing.
00:39:22You piece of shit.
00:39:23Nope.
00:39:27Don't do this.
00:39:29Please don't do this.
00:39:31I'm not the one you need to beg for forgiveness.
00:39:38I'm sorry.
00:39:39I'm sorry, Everly.
00:39:41I never should have tormented you
00:39:43all of those years.
00:39:45You didn't deserve it.
00:39:47Then why did you do it?
00:39:49Why me?
00:39:52Why me?
00:39:54Because even with your shitty clothes,
00:39:56your terrible hair,
00:39:58you were still beautiful.
00:40:00Everyone could see it.
00:40:02I would kill to look like you
00:40:04and you treated it like it was nothing.
00:40:06So you hated me.
00:40:07So you hated me
00:40:09because I was pretty
00:40:11and didn't shove it in people's faces?
00:40:13That is so messed up.
00:40:15Well, I was right to hate you.
00:40:18Look at you.
00:40:20You bagged a billionaire
00:40:22without even trying.
00:40:24Everly is beautiful inside and out.
00:40:26That's what draws people to her.
00:40:28You're done here.
00:40:30I'm not going to push any criminal charges,
00:40:32but the insurance company will be reaching out.
00:40:34You're on the hook for that dress.
00:40:35Oh, my God.
00:40:37I never thought that I'd see this in a lifetime.
00:40:39Please pinch me and tell me that I'm not dreaming.
00:40:41If you are, so am I.
00:40:43You want to get out of here?
00:40:45Yes, please.
00:41:00Bitches.
00:41:02Who knew that high school reunions would be this fun?
00:41:06Thank you for what you did.
00:41:08Never has anyone come to my rescue before.
00:41:11I enjoy doing it.
00:41:13You matter to me, Everly.
00:41:16Me and Bella.
00:41:18Hey.
00:41:20I understand.
00:41:22Thank you again.
00:41:24Have a good night, Julian.
00:41:26Everly, wait.
00:41:28That came out wrong.
00:41:30What I meant was
00:41:32I have feelings for you.
00:41:33But I don't want to lead you on.
00:41:35Kendra's betrayal of our marriage,
00:41:37it broke something inside of me,
00:41:39and I don't think I can commit to another woman.
00:41:44I just want to be with you.
00:41:46I'm not asking for anything else.
00:41:49You're so amazing, Julian,
00:41:51and I like everything about you.
00:41:53You just...
00:42:04I love you.
00:42:15Sir, is that you?
00:42:17I heard a noise.
00:42:20Yes, Mr. Gibson.
00:42:22You can go to bed.
00:42:24Yes, sir. Good night, sir.
00:42:26Ma'am.
00:42:28Fuck, that was embarrassing.
00:42:30I haven't got caught like that since I was a little schoolboy.
00:42:31Do you think he saw us?
00:42:33He probably did,
00:42:35but he's not going to say anything.
00:42:37I want nothing more
00:42:39than to take you upstairs right now.
00:42:41Me too.
00:42:43You're so honest, Everly.
00:42:45It's one of the many things I admire about you.
00:42:47And although it's going to kill me,
00:42:50I want you to go to bed.
00:42:52You're too noble.
00:42:55No one's ever said that to me before.
00:42:59Good night, sweetheart.
00:43:02Now go,
00:43:04before I change my mind.
00:43:08Did that just happen?
00:43:10Am I actually dating Julian Barlow?
00:43:18This is nice.
00:43:20Just holding your hand.
00:43:23What are we going to tell Bella?
00:43:25I don't want to get her hopes up,
00:43:27but we are dating now.
00:43:29Change of steps.
00:43:31We have to butt her first.
00:43:33Have you always thought of others
00:43:35at the expense of yourself?
00:43:37That's why I was bullied so much growing up,
00:43:39and why people take advantage of me.
00:43:41Don't say that.
00:43:43You're the best person I know, Everly.
00:43:45And now you have me.
00:43:47And I promise I won't let anyone
00:43:49hurt you anymore.
00:43:57So you think you can replace me
00:43:59with this whore, Julian?
00:44:01We'll see how it works out
00:44:03when I get through with the both of you.
00:44:09So,
00:44:11this is your latest slut.
00:44:13Kendra, are you following me?
00:44:15I'm Bella's mother.
00:44:17I need to know what her father is doing
00:44:19and who he's doing.
00:44:21So you fuck the help now, Julian?
00:44:23Who I'm with is none of your business.
00:44:25You gave that right up three years ago
00:44:27when you cheated on me with my best friend.
00:44:29Then you abandoned your daughter
00:44:31three years ago.
00:44:33I've changed now.
00:44:35I'm ready to be a wife and mother,
00:44:37and you can't let this homewrecker
00:44:39get in the way of what we can have.
00:44:41Everly is my wife now.
00:44:43And stay away from Bella.
00:44:45You don't have visitation rights.
00:44:47Oh, we'll see about that.
00:44:50I'm Bella's birth mother.
00:44:52That's never going to change.
00:44:54I can't lose my daughter, old woman.
00:44:56You won't.
00:44:58We'll fight it together.
00:45:02Hello, sir.
00:45:04What can I get for you today?
00:45:06I need to ask a favor of you.
00:45:08Sorry.
00:45:10No freebies for men with mean ex-wives?
00:45:12No ex-wife.
00:45:14Just one wife,
00:45:16right in front of me.
00:45:18I'm still working.
00:45:21I'll have to kick you out
00:45:23if you're not a paying customer.
00:45:25Then I'll pay now.
00:45:28I'm sorry.
00:45:29I'll pay now.
00:45:35I guess just bought the entire store.
00:45:38I need help from my favorite cake baker.
00:45:41Bella's Elementary School is hosting a bake sale,
00:45:43and every family brings a homemade dessert,
00:45:46and they all compete for first place.
00:45:49Would you want to go with us?
00:45:52You want me to be a part of your family?
00:45:54In front of your neighbors?
00:45:56Of course.
00:46:00No, you have to stir in the same direction
00:46:02clockwise 30 times.
00:46:04Wow.
00:46:06I had no idea you had to be so accurate.
00:46:08You do if you want to be the best.
00:46:12No, not like that.
00:46:14Like this.
00:46:22You are the worst student.
00:46:24I'm sorry.
00:46:26I can't come.
00:46:27You're the worst student.
00:46:29I'm sorry I can't concentrate
00:46:31because my teacher's so hot.
00:46:46Evelyn and Daddy
00:46:48sitting in a tree.
00:46:50Can I ask
00:46:52if I can see?
00:46:53I'm going to get you.
00:46:55Come here.
00:46:58Hey, Bella.
00:47:00Remember me?
00:47:03No.
00:47:05I'm your mother.
00:47:07No, you're not.
00:47:09Evelyn's my mom.
00:47:11I chose her.
00:47:13You little brat.
00:47:15You can't choose your mother.
00:47:17You're born with one,
00:47:19and that's what you get.
00:47:21That's enough, Kendra.
00:47:23You're hurting my feelings.
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.
00:47:33Those are store-bought cookies.
00:47:35What is she thinking?
00:47:37No, she made those.
00:47:39Her family owns Rossi Cookies.
00:47:41They were franchised.
00:47:43They have stores in every country.
00:47:45You didn't tell me your ex
00:47:47was a world-renowned baker.
00:47:49She doesn't have a tenth of your talent.
00:47:51Her grandma's the baker.
00:47:52She uses the recipes.
00:47:54There's not one creative bone
00:47:56in her body.
00:48:01Oh, my God.
00:48:03That's amazing.
00:48:05I want to buy all of it.
00:48:07Who made this?
00:48:09Julian Barlow?
00:48:11I had no idea he was
00:48:13such a talented baker.
00:48:16Here.
00:48:18Try mine.
00:48:20Not to brag, but the Rossi name
00:48:22is in the world of desserts.
00:48:24Not bad,
00:48:26but nowhere near the Barlow's.
00:48:28I'm telling you all to taste it.
00:48:30It's simply magic in your mouth.
00:48:32I think we know who the winner is.
00:48:35Yay!
00:48:40You want to see magic?
00:48:42I'm going to make that bitch disappear.
00:48:44Abra-fucking-cadabra.
00:48:52Can't forget that.
00:48:54Top of Bella's grocery list.
00:48:56She would never forgive me.
00:48:58Well, aren't we the perfect little housewife?
00:49:00That is,
00:49:02until Bella is rushed to the hospital.
00:49:04Oops.
00:49:09Everly!
00:49:11Hi!
00:49:13So lucky to run into you here.
00:49:15Oh, how so?
00:49:17I owe you an apology
00:49:19for how rude I was to you earlier.
00:49:20I guess you'd have to be a mother
00:49:22to understand how it feels
00:49:24to see another woman raising a child.
00:49:26Do you have it in your heart to forgive me?
00:49:28It's Bella and Julian,
00:49:30you owe an apology to, not me.
00:49:32Watch your back.
00:49:34There's a long line of women
00:49:36waiting to get their claws into Julian.
00:49:38Beautiful, sexy,
00:49:40sophisticated women
00:49:42who are suited to his lifestyle,
00:49:44pleasing his every want and desire.
00:49:47Is there some kind of threat?
00:49:49No.
00:49:51Just a cold, hard fact
00:49:53that you, Everly Harper,
00:49:55will never be more than
00:49:57a glorified babysitter to him.
00:49:59That's funny,
00:50:01because you'll never be more than
00:50:03a bitter memory to him.
00:50:05Now stop messing with our family.
00:50:08Next time, I won't be so nice.
00:50:13Next time,
00:50:15you'll be the psycho
00:50:16who drugged Julian's daughter.
00:50:24Can I ask you a question?
00:50:27Why did you choose me?
00:50:29Oh,
00:50:31where's this coming from?
00:50:33I mean, once Bella grows up
00:50:35and doesn't need a mom anymore,
00:50:37will you still want to be with me?
00:50:39Everly, sweetheart,
00:50:41this doesn't sound like you.
00:50:43It's just,
00:50:44I'm not like the society women
00:50:46you've dated in the past,
00:50:48if you get bored with me.
00:50:53Imagine dating someone
00:50:55who barely eats
00:50:57because they're watching their figure
00:50:59and spends more time
00:51:01with their plastic surgeons
00:51:03and with their family.
00:51:05You mean these society women?
00:51:07You're so bad.
00:51:09I'm sorry.
00:51:11I let Kendra get in my head.
00:51:13It's Bella's school.
00:51:15This is Julian Barlow.
00:51:19Emergency room.
00:51:21Uh-huh.
00:51:23I understand. I'm on my way.
00:51:25What's going on? Is Bella okay?
00:51:27The school nurse said that she was poisoned.
00:51:29Something she ate.
00:51:31Something about a lollipop.
00:51:39Bella is asleep.
00:51:40Fortunately,
00:51:42the lab results just showed
00:51:44that it was a common prescribed sedative
00:51:46that was on the lollipop.
00:51:48How does this happen? I don't understand.
00:51:50I have to ask,
00:51:52have you had any threats recently
00:51:54or encountered any suspicious characters?
00:51:57I came as soon as I heard.
00:51:59How is our precious Bella?
00:52:01She's coming along.
00:52:03Okay. Poison?
00:52:05My God, what kind of monster
00:52:07would poison an innocent child?
00:52:08With a lollipop, no less.
00:52:10I'm sorry.
00:52:12Doctor, did you say lollipop?
00:52:14The perpetrator poisoned Julian
00:52:16and my daughter
00:52:18with a lollipop.
00:52:20Well, that's interesting
00:52:22because I ran into Everly
00:52:24at the bakery yesterday
00:52:26and I saw one of Bella's favorite
00:52:28rainbow-colored lollipops.
00:52:30Are you suggesting that I had
00:52:32something to do with this?
00:52:34You gave Bella that lollipop,
00:52:36did you not?
00:52:39I did, but...
00:52:41I can't believe this.
00:52:43Our precious Bella,
00:52:45our little angel,
00:52:47drugged by yet another baby.
00:52:49I did no such thing.
00:52:51I would never...
00:52:53Wait, hold on.
00:52:55Bella's been poisoned before?
00:52:57Is this true, Julian?
00:52:59When she was 18 months old,
00:53:01I had a babysitter
00:53:03and I haven't been able to trust anyone
00:53:05since then, just you.
00:53:06Tell me what?
00:53:08I'll tell you what.
00:53:10You're not coming near Bella
00:53:12ever again.
00:53:14No, no, this can't be real.
00:53:16You know I would never hurt Bella.
00:53:18You know I love her
00:53:20like she's my own daughter.
00:53:22Oh, but she's not.
00:53:24She's ours.
00:53:26Julian,
00:53:28will you be calling security
00:53:30or shall I?
00:53:32Julian,
00:53:34will you be calling security
00:53:36or shall I?
00:53:38I'm sorry for ever doubting you,
00:53:40even for a second.
00:53:42I know that you could never harm Bella,
00:53:44not because you're my wife,
00:53:46but because of your loving heart.
00:53:48Julian, what are you saying?
00:53:50She's dangerous!
00:53:52Stop, Kendra, just stop!
00:53:54But,
00:53:56look at the evidence.
00:53:58Everly bought the rainbow-colored
00:54:00lollipop for Bella.
00:54:02Who else could have tampered with it?
00:54:04How did you know
00:54:06you switched them
00:54:08at the bakery parking lot?
00:54:10That's why you were there.
00:54:12You drugged your own daughter
00:54:14just to frame me?
00:54:16What kind of sicko does that?
00:54:18You can't prove that.
00:54:20But your prescription medicine can.
00:54:22Julian, stop!
00:54:24That's not mine!
00:54:26She's been taking Santa since I met her.
00:54:28That's exactly what was found
00:54:30in Bella's system.
00:54:32It's, it's, it's...
00:54:34You psychotic bitch!
00:54:36It could have been anywhere!
00:54:38It could have been anyone!
00:54:40It could have been you!
00:54:42It was you, wasn't it?
00:54:44I'm telling you, it wasn't me!
00:54:48Bella's waking up.
00:54:54Thank God she's okay.
00:54:56The thought of losing her
00:54:58was too much to bear.
00:55:00We don't have to think about that.
00:55:02She has you.
00:55:04I have you.
00:55:07Whatever comes our way,
00:55:10that's what family's for.
00:55:12That's what it means to love.
00:55:14And be loved.
00:55:16Exactly.
00:55:19Stop it, we're in the children's ward.
00:55:22I'm pretty sure all these doctors and nurses
00:55:24know how babies are born.
00:55:30Mommy?
00:55:32Daddy?
00:55:34Brain check?
00:55:37Is that my little munchkin in there
00:55:39making noise?
00:55:43Welcome in.
00:55:45What gang is that?
00:55:47No.
00:55:49What, is there a rule against
00:55:51selling a cake to your ex?
00:55:53Come on, Emily.
00:55:55Look, Everly, I'm sorry.
00:55:57I made a big mistake, I'll admit that,
00:55:59but I've changed.
00:56:01I left Olivia and I just want to start fresh.
00:56:03I want to do this again.
00:56:04You know what Olivia's doing,
00:56:06you know how manipulative she can be,
00:56:08and I only loved you the entire time.
00:56:10You think Julian, Julian's a multi-billionaire,
00:56:12you think he'd really go for someone like you?
00:56:14I mean, get real, Everly.
00:56:16If he doesn't love you,
00:56:18what I do
00:56:20is probably die without you.
00:56:25Get the hell out of my bakery.
00:56:28You fucking bitch.
00:56:30No one's gonna come to save you.
00:56:35Stay away from my wife.
00:56:37Last warning, stay away from her
00:56:39or I'll break more than just your arm.
00:56:41Motherfucker.
00:56:43If I can't have her, no one can.
00:56:50Thank you for stepping in, Julian.
00:56:52I wish I could be here all the time,
00:56:54but I can't.
00:56:56Nolan,
00:56:58it's gonna be a problem.
00:57:00I can't exactly lock my doors.
00:57:02Don't work by yourself anymore.
00:57:05I'm sorry.
00:57:10Someone for the munchkins.
00:57:12Thanks.
00:57:15I have to pick her up right now.
00:57:17We'll see you later?
00:57:19Stay alert.
00:57:35And the hits keep coming.
00:57:38First my ex, now his.
00:57:40When will we ever catch a break?
00:57:52We have to keep that from Bella.
00:57:54I'll get my lawyer
00:57:56to file her straining order against Kendra this week.
00:57:58Maybe there's a way we can make peace with Bella's mom.
00:58:01We've tried.
00:58:02She's turned every attempt against us,
00:58:04including Bella.
00:58:07I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:58:12How can I help protect Bella?
00:58:14No, Everly, it's not your fight.
00:58:16Yes, it is. Contract or not, you and I are in this together.
00:58:18I can't stand by while you and Bella suffer.
00:58:33What if Bella wakes up?
00:58:35She hung her head years ago.
00:58:37I just kept it.
00:58:39I know.
00:59:02I love you.
00:59:33What are your thoughts on a family date?
00:59:36The three of us.
00:59:38You want to go on a picnic?
00:59:41I'll go wherever you'll take me.
00:59:46So where did you get Bun Bun?
00:59:48When I was three years old.
00:59:50Yep, we were outside
00:59:52and she saw a rabbit run across the yard
00:59:54and she looked at me and reached her hands out
00:59:56and I said, no, you can't have a wild animal.
00:59:58So she started crying.
01:00:00So naturally I got her Bun Bun.
01:00:02The next day.
01:00:03Naturally.
01:00:11Bella, my baby, come to mom.
01:00:14What are you doing here?
01:00:16You look like a stalker.
01:00:18I'm still your mother
01:00:20and I brought your favorite food, strawberries.
01:00:23Everly loves me more than you
01:00:25and I love her too
01:00:27and I can't eat strawberries.
01:00:30Darling,
01:00:32this woman is just after daddy's money.
01:00:35You're lying. I hate you.
01:00:37You can't talk to me like that.
01:00:39I'm your mother.
01:00:41No, you're not. Everly is my mommy.
01:00:43You're scary.
01:00:45You little brat.
01:00:47Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:00:49Mommy, daddy!
01:00:52Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:00:55Mommy, daddy!
01:00:57Kendra, what the hell?
01:00:59I'm trying to protect my daughter
01:01:00from this fucking bitch.
01:01:02Hey, watch your language in front of Bella.
01:01:04Strawberries? Kendra, are you insane?
01:01:07Bella's deathly allergic.
01:01:09How was I supposed to know?
01:01:11You never let me see that bitch.
01:01:13That's a lie. You abandoned her.
01:01:15Shut up, you lying gold digger.
01:01:17I'm twice the mother that you'll ever be.
01:01:19Bella!
01:01:21Come back, sweetie.
01:01:23She's overwhelmed. You're scaring her.
01:01:25You know nothing about my daughter
01:01:27but I know about you.
01:01:28You're just a foster kid.
01:01:30One step up from the gutter.
01:01:32Bella and I both know
01:01:34that Everly is the best thing
01:01:36to happen to this family.
01:01:38Bella, sweetie.
01:01:40You can't possibly think
01:01:42that this poor substitute
01:01:44is better than a real mother.
01:01:46We have the same blood.
01:01:48You're part Rossi.
01:01:50You can't ask your daughter that.
01:01:52Shut up!
01:01:54Kendra, this isn't some game that you can win.
01:01:56This is Bella and Julian's lives.
01:01:58You abandoned them.
01:02:00You trying to snatch them back
01:02:02just so you can win won't make you happy.
01:02:04You have to move on.
01:02:06You have to move on.
01:02:10I know I don't deserve her
01:02:12but I found out last month
01:02:14that I'm infertile.
01:02:17I can never have another baby.
01:02:19Bella is it for me.
01:02:29I know she's done some bad things
01:02:32but she's still your mother, Bella.
01:02:34Why don't you go give her a hug?
01:02:39I don't really hate you.
01:02:41I know, baby.
01:02:45It's all my fault.
01:02:50You're right.
01:02:52I only wanted to win.
01:02:55You can win for me
01:02:57You can win a game
01:02:59but you can never win someone's heart.
01:03:01You're very wise.
01:03:03Don't get me wrong.
01:03:05I don't want to be your friend.
01:03:07I'm just trying to leave my daughter
01:03:09with a happy memory.
01:03:13Take care, Kendra.
01:03:15Maybe one day I'll let Bella write you.
01:03:17She's older.
01:03:20Bye, sweetie.
01:03:21Bye.
01:03:25She fell for my sob story.
01:03:27Stupid bitch.
01:03:29I won't stop until I get my man back
01:03:31and the kid with him.
01:03:39Oh, what's all this for?
01:03:43100th Annual International Bake Off.
01:03:46Sounds like a big deal.
01:03:48It's invitation only
01:03:49and I can't believe I got in.
01:03:51If I do well,
01:03:53it'll really help put the bakery on the map.
01:03:55Given how you rocked that bake sale,
01:03:57you've got this in the bag.
01:03:59That was nothing.
01:04:01I need a showstopper
01:04:03that's going to dazzle their taste buds
01:04:05and win over their hearts.
01:04:07So what's the secret weapon?
01:04:09Vanilla rosemary five-layer cake
01:04:11topped with a lavender buttercream
01:04:13and a hint of orange zest.
01:04:15Sounds like I need to clear some space
01:04:17on the mantle for that first place trophy.
01:04:19Cut it out.
01:04:21I'm trying to concentrate.
01:04:23Oh, am I distracting you?
01:04:25I'm a sucker for a messy apron.
01:04:30Okay, fine.
01:04:32You can stay,
01:04:34but you have to make yourself useful.
01:04:36What's first, chef?
01:04:39Ladies and gentlemen,
01:04:41welcome to our 100th Annual
01:04:43International Bake Off.
01:04:45Please find your seat.
01:04:47Our competition will start shortly.
01:04:53You got this, girl.
01:04:55We'll be in the front row cheering you on, okay?
01:04:57Thank you, Sammy.
01:04:59I'm gonna go check my presentation one more time.
01:05:03Knock them dead out there, sweetheart.
01:05:08Good luck.
01:05:16There you are,
01:05:17sneaking nicely into my trap.
01:05:19Who do you think arranged the invite,
01:05:21you pathetic nobody?
01:05:32Hey, Everly.
01:05:34Ready to get crushed?
01:05:36What are you doing here?
01:05:38Are you stalking me?
01:05:40You look scared.
01:05:42You should be.
01:05:44I'm going to win that trophy
01:05:46I'm infertile.
01:05:48I can never have another baby.
01:05:50So everything you said at the park was a lie.
01:05:53You're not infertile.
01:05:55You just can't stand that Bella chose me.
01:05:57I'm her fucking mother, bitch.
01:05:59You're a monster.
01:06:01And you're just an amateur
01:06:03who doesn't deserve to be here.
01:06:05Did you really think you earned a place
01:06:07in this competition?
01:06:09I'm the one who got the judges to invite you,
01:06:11and now Julian's going to see
01:06:13what a poor orphan loser you truly are.
01:06:16Bring it on, Rossi.
01:06:18My recipe has heart and soul,
01:06:20and they will beat your assembly line crap
01:06:22any day.
01:06:25Oh, yeah?
01:06:27Do you know what goes great with cake?
01:06:29What?
01:06:31Coffee.
01:06:41Kendra, what the hell?
01:06:43You better go get cleaned up.
01:06:45I wouldn't want to meet the judges
01:06:47looking like that.
01:06:49So unsanitary.
01:07:05Your knight in shining armor
01:07:07can't save your ass this time.
01:07:09Neverly.
01:07:11Our next competitor,
01:07:13Kendra Rossi.
01:07:16Hi, judge.
01:07:18This is my own
01:07:20one-of-a-kind original recipe.
01:07:24A vanilla rosemary
01:07:27five-layer cake with lavender buttercream
01:07:30and a hint of orange zest.
01:07:32That's my cake!
01:07:36What are you talking about?
01:07:38You stole my recipe.
01:07:40A nobody accusing me,
01:07:42a Rossi, of cheating?
01:07:43How dare you?
01:07:45Man,
01:07:47you have impeccable taste in women
01:07:49because obviously you chose Everly,
01:07:51but that woman up there?
01:07:53How did you end up with such a nightmare ex?
01:07:56I was young
01:07:58and stupid.
01:08:00Yeah, obviously.
01:08:02So what are we going to do to salvage this?
01:08:04Can't you just pull some strings or something?
01:08:06You're Julie and freaking Barlow, for goodness sake.
01:08:08It's not that simple.
01:08:10I know Everly wouldn't want to win that way.
01:08:11Dammit.
01:08:13So what do we do now?
01:08:16Kendra can't get away with this.
01:08:20A nobody accusing me,
01:08:22a Rossi, of cheating?
01:08:25How dare you?
01:08:30You better go get cleaned up.
01:08:32Wouldn't want to meet the judges looking like that.
01:08:34So that's why you spilled coffee on me.
01:08:37So you could hack my laptop behind my back
01:08:39the same way you switched the lollipops behind my back
01:08:42when you poisoned Bella.
01:08:44That is a serious accusation.
01:08:47Now, can you prove that this cake is your creation?
01:08:51Here's your proof.
01:08:59We can't see anything.
01:09:01The screen is blank.
01:09:05We can't see anything.
01:09:07The screen is blank.
01:09:09What happened to my files?
01:09:11They're not there.
01:09:13As I said, this recipe is mine and mine alone.
01:09:16No, no, no, no.
01:09:18It's not true.
01:09:20Kendra Rossi, you're a thief.
01:09:22I think we've heard enough.
01:09:24Sir, I know this recipe, my recipe by heart.
01:09:26I can recite it from memory.
01:09:28I'm afraid that doesn't prove anything.
01:09:30Now, I think it's best that you leave the stage now
01:09:33before I have to disqualify you.
01:09:36Isn't that the baker from Sweet Escape Bakery?
01:09:39Not going to her shop, ever.
01:09:46Wait!
01:09:49Wait!
01:09:52This will prove the recipe is Everly's.
01:10:00Now, you're going to want to let it cool for about ten minutes.
01:10:03Hey, back on me.
01:10:05This is the important part.
01:10:07The last step is to lightly dust with a layer of orange zest.
01:10:10Just enough to reach the edges.
01:10:17And then you're going to want to add a pinch of salt.
01:10:21And voila!
01:10:24You'll see the time stamp of this raw footage
01:10:27was taken two weeks ago.
01:10:29And speaking from experience,
01:10:30no one can make this cake exactly like my wife.
01:10:41Something's different.
01:10:43Taste for yourself.
01:10:50Salt.
01:10:52It's missing the salt.
01:10:54I didn't include it in my recipe notes.
01:10:56It was a last-minute spur-of-the-moment addition.
01:10:58Totally spontaneous.
01:11:00It made all the difference in the world.
01:11:02Salt?
01:11:05Salt?
01:11:23Salt or not, this is no ordinary cake.
01:11:26And it could only come
01:11:28from the heart and soul of
01:11:30an extraordinary baker.
01:11:38You almost ruined my wife today!
01:11:40This is your last straw!
01:11:42Confess or I'm calling the police!
01:11:44But I didn't.
01:11:46Okay, okay!
01:11:49I did it.
01:11:51I did it.
01:11:53All of it.
01:11:55Are you happy now?
01:11:57Dragging me in the mud like this
01:11:59in front of everyone?
01:12:01Julian, you broke my heart!
01:12:03You have to have a heart
01:12:05for it to be broken.
01:12:07How can you say that?
01:12:09I loved you more than anything.
01:12:11And then this bitch gets into the picture
01:12:13and suddenly I'm nothing?
01:12:15Just some garbage you can throw away?
01:12:17What is so special about her, Julian?
01:12:19She's not prettier than me.
01:12:21She can't be better in bed than me.
01:12:23What do you possibly see in her
01:12:25that makes her so special?
01:12:27Maybe I'm just a better baker
01:12:29than you, Kendra.
01:12:31Here.
01:12:33Have a taste.
01:12:35I don't want your stupid salt!
01:12:37Mom!
01:12:39Oh my God!
01:12:41It smells disgusting!
01:12:43It smells like a rotten potato chip!
01:12:45And Bella could have made
01:12:47a better cake than that!
01:12:50I...
01:12:52I don't even know what to say
01:12:53when you're here.
01:12:55Say I can present my cake.
01:12:57That's all I came here to do, sir.
01:12:59Fair enough.
01:13:01The ingredients in my cake
01:13:03are pretty traditional
01:13:05in terms of regular cake ingredients.
01:13:07I like the rosemary
01:13:09because it tends to cut through
01:13:11the sweetness of traditional cakes
01:13:13while also balancing the orange zest
01:13:15aromatic flavoring
01:13:17that we really look for
01:13:19in a well-balanced cake.
01:13:21I also, not listed,
01:13:23but I'm sure you'll like it.
01:13:29We have seen a lot
01:13:31of great bakes this year.
01:13:33But nothing in the history
01:13:35of this competition
01:13:36has ever compared
01:13:38to this year's
01:13:40First Prize winner,
01:13:42Everly Harper!
01:13:44This year's First Prize winner,
01:13:46Everly Harper!
01:13:49Congratulations, Miss Harper.
01:13:51You're truly well-deserved.
01:13:53Would you excuse me?
01:13:55Alright.
01:13:59Oh, we did it, Samantha, we did it!
01:14:01No, Everly, you did this.
01:14:03Hold on.
01:14:07Listen to this.
01:14:09Orders are flooding in like crazy.
01:14:11No, no, no, no. I've got this.
01:14:13Trust me. Now get out of here.
01:14:15Go celebrate with your hubby.
01:14:17Yeah?
01:14:19I am so
01:14:21proud of you, Everly.
01:14:31Get lost.
01:14:33I'm more likely to stick a bitch
01:14:35than suck a dick right now.
01:14:37Good. Then we both want
01:14:39the same thing.
01:14:41Yeah? What's that?
01:14:43Revenge.
01:14:45I've spent the last two weeks learning everything I can
01:14:47about Julian Barlow and Everly Harper's
01:14:49relationship. And I think what I found
01:14:51might interest you.
01:14:53Who the fuck are you?
01:14:55I'm someone that hates
01:14:57Julian, and I heard you're someone that
01:14:59hates Everly.
01:15:01So I have a plan that'll get us both what we want.
01:15:05I'm listening.
01:15:13Am I doing it right?
01:15:15Those look great.
01:15:17Squeeze your bag a little bit tighter.
01:15:19More icing equals more smiles.
01:15:23Okay.
01:15:25Time to switch to croissants.
01:15:27All different kinds?
01:15:29Can you go in the freezer in the back
01:15:31and get me two blocks of butter?
01:15:33They are left side, middle shelf.
01:15:35Left side, middle shelf, two blocks. Got it.
01:15:47You're coming with me, Bella.
01:15:49I'm your mother.
01:15:51Not that whore.
01:15:53Everly!
01:15:55Save your breath, kid.
01:15:57She can't hear you anyway.
01:15:59Everly! Everly!
01:16:01Shut up.
01:16:07Go!
01:16:17Bella?
01:16:33Bella?
01:16:35Bella!
01:16:47Everly!
01:16:49Back here!
01:17:07This is Julian Barlow.
01:17:09I have your daughter, and if I don't get
01:17:11200 million in cash by sundown,
01:17:13she won't see the sunrise.
01:17:15What did you do with Bella? Who is this?
01:17:17Ten million, unmarked bills
01:17:19split into two separate duffel bags.
01:17:21Let me talk to Bella.
01:17:23I need to know she's safe.
01:17:25Only after I get the money.
01:17:27Damn you! She's just a little girl.
01:17:29There's an abandoned campsite at the end of Canyon Ridge Road.
01:17:31Put the cash inside the office cabin
01:17:33and come alone.
01:17:35Because I'll be watching.
01:17:37When do I get Bella?
01:17:45What are we gonna do?
01:17:47I'll call my bank
01:17:49and I'll get the money within an hour.
01:17:51Okay.
01:17:53Hello?
01:17:55Anybody?
01:17:57Hello?
01:17:59What is she doing here?
01:18:01I need an explanation for this.
01:18:03Mother, now is not the time for this.
01:18:05I had to learn from Kendra that you're not married at all,
01:18:07that you fake everything.
01:18:09What is this? This is for my sake.
01:18:11Combination was Bella's birthday.
01:18:13Thank you, Julian.
01:18:15How could you lie to your own mother
01:18:17and present this fraud as if she were actually your wife?
01:18:19I knew she was a gold digger,
01:18:21but I didn't know she was a tramp for hire.
01:18:23Silence!
01:18:27This is not important right now.
01:18:29That is just a piece of paper, Mother.
01:18:31I have to find Bella. She's been kidnapped.
01:18:33My grandbaby has been kidnapped?
01:18:35What happened?
01:18:37Bella and I were baking and someone grabbed me.
01:18:39I blacked out,
01:18:41and when I woke up, she was gone.
01:18:43I have to get the ransom money together now,
01:18:45so if you two could please just...
01:18:47Just what?
01:18:49Stand aside and let you handle it?
01:18:51You brought this tramp into my daughter's home,
01:18:53and because of her,
01:18:55Bella's life is at stake.
01:18:57Ew.
01:18:59It smells.
01:19:01You just let common street trash walk in here?
01:19:03Don't talk about him like that.
01:19:05Bernie is a veteran. He served our country.
01:19:07I'm sorry, Bernie.
01:19:09I don't have the day offs for you today.
01:19:11But I have something for you.
01:19:13That lady?
01:19:15I saw her.
01:19:17And a tall man.
01:19:21Go back and crawl into whatever hole you came out of,
01:19:23you filthy animal.
01:19:25I saw them.
01:19:29They took that little girl.
01:19:31Fucking bitch!
01:19:33What did you do?
01:19:35Where's Bella?
01:19:37He's obviously deranged. Or on drugs. Or both.
01:19:39The tall man.
01:19:41Did he have short, blonde hair?
01:19:43Athletic build?
01:19:47Nolan.
01:19:49She's working with Nolan.
01:19:51Where is she?
01:19:53Where's Bella? Tell me now!
01:19:55I...
01:20:01Oh! What the hell?
01:20:03Where's my daughter?
01:20:11Where is she?
01:20:27Daddy?
01:20:33I'm just a little escape artist.
01:20:35You can come out now, Munchkin.
01:20:37It's safe.
01:20:39Daddy and Evelyn are here.
01:20:51This is ridiculous!
01:20:53It's not kidnapping, if it's your own child!
01:20:57This is ridiculous!
01:20:59It's not kidnapping, if it's your own child!
01:21:03It's over.
01:21:05It's finally over.
01:21:07Isn't me and Mommy
01:21:09gone for good, Daddy?
01:21:11She'll never bother you again, Munchkin.
01:21:13I want you both to know that
01:21:15I'm very ashamed for my part
01:21:17in Kendra's scheme.
01:21:19But you can't continue this fake marriage.
01:21:21You're right, Mother.
01:21:27Everly Harper,
01:21:29you're the most loving, brave, and talented
01:21:31woman I've ever known.
01:21:33Your beauty is just dessert after a rich meal.
01:21:35My life feels full
01:21:37with you in it.
01:21:39Will you do me the honor of marrying me?
01:21:41And me!
01:21:49Julian Barlow,
01:21:51if I was to create a recipe for the bravest,
01:21:53smartest, most loving man,
01:21:55it would be you.
01:21:57Your wealth
01:21:59is not a dessert, but a mere appetizer.
01:22:01So, yes,
01:22:03I will marry you.
01:22:05And you too.
01:22:09I don't know what
01:22:11all that nonsense about food was,
01:22:13but the rest was lovely.
01:22:15I guess I'll give the girl
01:22:17a chance if she can make my son
01:22:19and grandbaby smile like that.
01:22:27Listen, look at this.
01:22:29Oh my gosh, do you see that?
01:22:39So pretty.
01:22:43I helped make that.
01:22:45Yes, you did, Bella.
01:22:49Have you guys ever seen such a beautiful family?
01:22:51I'm so happy for you.
01:22:53Thanks, Bestie.
01:22:55Mommy,
01:22:57how about a cake fight?
01:22:59You're a girl after my own heart, Bella.
01:23:01Everybody,
01:23:03cake fight!
01:23:25Couldn't you have gotten me something more practical?
01:23:27This is going to be a bear to bake with.
01:23:29Only my wife would complain
01:23:31about a 15 carat flawless diamond
01:23:33being too big.
01:23:35Sorry.
01:23:37I'm not.
01:23:39I'm not.
01:23:41I'm not.
01:23:43I'm not.
01:23:45I'm not.
01:23:47I'm not.
01:23:49I'm not.
01:23:51I'm not.
01:23:53I'm not.
01:23:55God,
01:23:57I love you.
01:23:59Hey, Mr. Barlow.
01:24:01Hey,
01:24:03Miss Barlow.
01:24:05Who said I was changing my name?
01:24:07Yes.
01:24:09On the topic
01:24:11of change, I've been thinking.
01:24:13Bella needs a playmate.
01:24:15What do you think
01:24:17we give her a sibling?
01:24:19Just one.
01:24:21When I was a little kid here,
01:24:23I always dreamed of having a big family.
01:24:25Well, how big are we talking?
