00:00:00Bella?
00:00:01Bella?
00:00:02Where did she go?
00:00:03The gardener says Ms. Bella's not on the grounds.
00:00:06She's disappeared again.
00:00:07We'll tell the design team to go big or go home.
00:00:10We're not building some quaint bed and breakfast.
00:00:13This is a billion dollar Barlow resort on a private island off Dubai.
00:00:17We need to crush this.
00:00:19Crush!
00:00:20Crush!
00:00:21Crush!
00:00:22Crush!

00:00:27Crush!
00:00:28Crush!
00:00:29Crush!
00:00:30Steve, I have to call you back.
00:00:33How did you get in here, Bella?
00:00:36My little escape artist.
00:00:41What am I going to tell Mr. Barlow?
00:00:44Pulse alarm.
00:00:45She's here, everyone.
00:00:49Thank God.
00:00:51I only took my eyes off her for a second.
00:00:53She needs a leash.
00:00:55I'm not a dog.
00:00:56No, a dog behaves better.
00:00:59Daddy.
00:01:00Okay, everyone, let's get back to it.
00:01:02These decorations aren't going to put themselves up.
00:01:04Ms. Delaney, I'm sorry.
00:01:06I will be hiring a new nanny soon.
00:01:08Well, how long do you think this is going to last?
00:01:10She's scared off three in a year.
00:01:13I don't want a nanny.
00:01:15I want a mommy.
00:01:27I'm not Everly.
00:01:28Can you see?
00:01:29It's a circus out there.
00:01:30Like a literal freaking circus.
00:01:31Oh, my God.
00:01:32There's jugglers.
00:01:33There's clowns.
00:01:34There's even a man on stilts.
00:01:35Can you imagine having a birthday like this
00:01:36when you were just eight years old?
00:01:38Foster kid here.
00:01:39I used to blow out imaginary candles
00:01:40and dream of real cake.
00:01:45This is my favorite part.
00:01:49Somebody's a little too in touch with their inner child.
00:01:53When your mother proposed this blind date,
00:01:55I was a little hesitant.
00:01:57I just couldn't believe that any man
00:02:00could move up to the image that she painted.
00:02:02Yes, she's very good at talking you up.
00:02:05In your case, she really didn't do you justice.
00:02:09I'd love to slip away from the crowd
00:02:11and get to know you better.
00:02:13You're at my eight-year-old's birthday party.
00:02:15I wasn't interested before,
00:02:16but now I want you to leave.
00:02:23Wait for it.
00:02:27Why, hello, Mother.
00:02:28Julian, Bianca is hysterical,
00:02:31and you have embarrassed me.
00:02:33Well, stop setting me up with random women.
00:02:35I'm not getting married again.
00:02:36Once was enough.
00:02:37Kendra and the race car driver have ended it.
00:02:40Right now, you have sole custody of Bella.
00:02:43But the courts favor the mother, Julian.
00:02:45You and I both know Kendra could show up at any time
00:02:49and demand that Bella live with her just to spite you.
00:02:52I'm not letting that witch anywhere near my daughter.
00:02:55Find yourself a wife
00:02:57and show the world a stable family.
00:02:59Not for your own happiness, but for your child's.
00:03:07Mother might be dramatic,
00:03:09but she's right about Bella needing a mom.
00:03:12Perhaps a fake wife would do.
00:03:16Vanilla for you.
00:03:19What's your favorite flavor?
00:03:21Ah, chocolate.
00:03:23So, do you want to know what makes everything taste so good?
00:03:27The secret ingredient is...
00:03:32love.
00:03:43Girl, I'm so exhausted.
00:03:44I'm heading home. You coming?
00:03:45I'm going to stay and finish the engagement cake for tomorrow.
00:03:47Okay.
00:03:49Hey, Bernie!
00:03:51Let me grab you the day holds.
00:03:59Tell Rose and Pete I included the pecan cinnamon rolls just for them.
00:04:14Oh, my gosh. You scared me.
00:04:17Where did you come from, sweetheart?
00:04:19Where are your parents?
00:04:21Are you lost?
00:04:23What's your name?
00:04:25I'm Everly.
00:04:27You don't want to tell me, huh?
00:04:31Guess I'll just have to guess.
00:04:33Your name is Olga.
00:04:37Gertrude.
00:04:38Ew.
00:04:40Prudence.
00:04:41Hazel.
00:04:42Constance.
00:04:43Henrietta.
00:04:46Bertha.
00:04:47It's Bella!
00:04:50The birthday girl.
00:04:51She must have stowed away in the truck.
00:04:53Bella!
00:05:00You scared me, Bella Barlow.
00:05:03Sorry, Daddy.
00:05:04What were you thinking?
00:05:05I found my mommy!
00:05:11I'm so sorry.
00:05:12She's never done anything like this.
00:05:14I want Everly to be my mommy.
00:05:16Bella Munchkin, please.
00:05:19You know, my daddy has lots of money.
00:05:22All you have to do is marry him and be my mommy.
00:05:25Bella, you don't marry someone for money.
00:05:28You do it because you love them so much.
00:05:31And it feels like they're a part of you.
00:05:34Like you can't picture your life without them in it.
00:05:39I know you're supposed to be my mommy.
00:05:43I'm engaged to someone else.
00:05:46Come on, Bella.
00:05:48We've taken up enough of Miss Harper's time.
00:05:59So a hot guy and a cute little girl were like,
00:06:01come be my insta-family?
00:06:02The little girl was.
00:06:03The dad was kind of mortified.
00:06:05Bella reminds me of what I was like after the car accident.
00:06:08Kept going up to perfect strangers,
00:06:10looking for my parents.
00:06:12Just couldn't accept that they were gone.
00:06:18Hey, beautiful.
00:06:19I miss you already.
00:06:20When are you back from your business trip?
00:06:22I'm back Monday.
00:06:24We'll see each other then.
00:06:25Are you calling me from the bathroom?
00:06:28No, the guests next door are just really loud.
00:06:32There you go.
00:06:33I love you.
00:06:39Hello, Earth to Everly.
00:06:41What?
00:06:42I was just thinking about what I told the little girl.
00:06:44All the reasons you marry someone,
00:06:46but I've never actually felt any of those things.
00:06:49Well, you better decide sooner rather than later.
00:06:51Well, Nolan and I have been together since high school.
00:06:54Loyalty counts for something.
00:06:56At least what we have is real.
00:07:04Okay, this hotel is huge.
00:07:06Where is the engagement party being held?
00:07:08Uh, restaurant.
00:07:10Okay, yes.
00:07:15I'm bored.
00:07:16I'm sorry, Munchkin, but after yesterday,
00:07:18I'm not letting you out of my sight.
00:07:20Bella was bad.
00:07:21Bella was very bad.
00:07:23But I'll take you to get ice cream if you're very good.
00:07:28I want cupcake.
00:07:30Nice try, kiddo.
00:07:52That must be the bride-to-be.
00:07:54Hey, delivery for the lovely bride.
00:07:56Can I just get your signature on this really quick?
00:08:03Oh, my gosh.
00:08:05Everly.
00:08:07Well, you haven't changed a bit since high school, huh?
00:08:11Still a pathetic orphan with no money?
00:08:14Or taste?
00:08:16Olivia, this is your engagement party?
00:08:19Who would marry a raging bully like you?
00:08:21Everly, what are you doing here?
00:08:28Nolan, I don't understand.
00:08:31Isn't it obvious, you ignorant nobody?
00:08:36Nolan's been cheating on you.
00:08:39With me.
00:08:46Is it true, Nolan?
00:08:49No, is it true?
00:08:52You've been sleeping with Olivia?
00:08:55You saw how she treated me.
00:08:56She made my high school life a living hell.
00:08:59You hate her just as much as I do.
00:09:02Well, if that's hate sex,
00:09:04then sign me up for a lifetime of it.
00:09:08Nolan's a sexy beast, aren't you, darling?
00:09:11Oh, but you wouldn't know about that, Everly,
00:09:14being the pity fuck that you are.
00:09:17You set this whole thing up, didn't you, Olivia?
00:09:20Did you think you could date both of us?
00:09:22Marry both of us?
00:09:25No.
00:09:26Nolan, you have to choose.
00:09:29You can be with me and live the good life,
00:09:31or you could be with this dirty orphan,
00:09:36who will always be poor,
00:09:38pathetic white trash her entire life,
00:09:42and who will drag you down with her.
00:09:48I'm sorry.
00:09:50I'm sorry, Everly.
00:09:51I just, I can't be poor.
00:09:53I can't.
00:09:56I'm so sorry.
00:10:05This isn't happening.
00:10:07I'm in some kind of post-high school nightmare
00:10:09where the mean girl still wins.
00:10:15I don't like her.
00:10:16She's mean.
00:10:17Hello, where did you come from?
00:10:20Is she an evil witch?
00:10:22You little shit.
00:10:23Who the hell let this wretched brat in here?
00:10:25Hey, watch your mouth, Olivia.
00:10:27You can't talk to her like that.
00:10:30I can say whatever the hell I want.
00:10:34Both of you, get out.
00:10:36And take this disgusting cake with you.
00:10:38It's garbage, just like you.
00:10:44What are you, crazy?
00:10:45You could have hurt her.
00:10:46Too bad I missed.
00:10:50Oh my goodness.
00:10:53Get off me.
00:10:57Choke on it, bitch.
00:11:02I'm gonna destroy you.
00:11:05Good luck with that.
00:11:06You already tried in high school, but I'm stronger now.
00:11:09Keep Nolan with my blessing.
00:11:11Nolan, do something.
00:11:15Everly?
00:11:16Take it off her.
00:11:23Touch my kid and you're dead.
00:11:24Who the hell are you?
00:11:26I'm with her.
00:11:27Since when?
00:11:28That's none of your business.
00:11:32Oh, hold still.
00:11:34You have some frost in there.
00:11:37David, stop, don't.
00:11:40That's Julian Barlow, heir of Barlow Hotels and Resorts.
00:11:44He owns this very hotel.
00:11:46You're lucky I don't sue you both for attempting to assault a minor.
00:11:49I didn't know it was your kid.
00:11:51So she's a poor girl, hurting her is okay?
00:11:53This party's over.
00:11:54You two are banned for life from every Barlow property in the world.
00:12:00So this is what having someone stand up for you feels like?
00:12:07They were bad, Daddy.
00:12:09There's a lot of bad people out there.
00:12:11That's why you can't run off the way you did.
00:12:13That's how Everly wanted to be with her.
00:12:17You need some rest.
00:12:19Go to the car.
00:12:21I love you, Everly.
00:12:28Thank you for protecting my daughter.
00:12:30Thank you for saving me from my cheating ex-fiancé.
00:12:38That sounds like a desperate man trying to win you back.
00:12:41Yeah.
00:12:43Not happening.
00:12:50Seems we have a problem, Miss Harper.
00:12:53My daughter's heart is set on you being her mother.
00:12:59You also have a problem with your ex not getting the message.
00:13:03I propose a pretend relationship.
00:13:06Like a fake marriage?
00:13:07Exactly.
00:13:08I can protect you from your ex-fiancé,
00:13:10and you can help me protect Bella from herself and my ex,
00:13:13if she comes back into town.
00:13:15Is your ex really that bad?
00:13:18Kendra makes your high school nemesis look like a teddy bear.
00:13:22Do we have a deal?
00:13:23What if you want to be with someone for real?
00:13:26I won't.
00:13:28I've sworn I'm not going to get married again.
00:13:38Yes, Mr. Barlow.
00:13:40We have a deal.
00:13:52Tomorrow night is the annual charity gala.
00:13:55Black tie.
00:13:56There we'll introduce you to society.
00:13:59Why don't we start out slow?
00:14:02My mother will know if we don't show up as newlyweds.
00:14:05Didn't you say she lives in Paris?
00:14:08She has spies everywhere.
00:14:11Did you go to the gala with me?
00:14:13I don't know, Julian.
00:14:15I'm more flower than flair.
00:14:20We have a boutique at the hotel.
00:14:23I think the right dress will ease some of your stress.
00:14:27I'm still super uncomfortable with all this.
00:14:31I don't want to embarrass you at the gala.
00:14:33Are you always going to be this touchy about my money?
00:14:36Most women can't wait to spend it.
00:14:38I'm a baker, not a socialite.
00:14:41You've been hanging out with the wrong crowd.
00:14:46Maybe I have.
00:14:49Do you mind?
00:14:50My mother will want a picture of the newlyweds.
00:15:01One other thing.
00:15:04Don't fall for me.
00:15:07Same goes for you.
00:15:22Well, hello, mother.
00:15:24You're married?
00:15:25Who is this girl?
00:15:27Her name is Everly Harper.
00:15:29She's a sous chef.
00:15:32She calls herself a baker.
00:15:34Ridiculous.
00:15:37Her parents died when she was six.
00:15:40Since then, she's had no relatives.
00:15:43She became a ward of the state and bounced around foster care,
00:15:47never really having a permanent home.
00:15:49So she's an orphan without social connections.
00:15:52What are her financials?
00:15:54She has some student loan debt and her business is barely making it.
00:15:59Despite that, she's won numerous awards and competitions for her.
00:16:04Oh, my God.
00:16:05She's dirt poor.
00:16:07You've married a gold digger, Julian.
00:16:09Well, to be honest, my wealth is probably a bad thing in this case.
00:16:13She'd rather me be middle class.
00:16:15Well, then she's a fool.
00:16:17Who wouldn't want a billionaire husband?
00:16:19Well, Bella chose her to be her mother.
00:16:25Well, I'm just upset that my only son didn't inform me he was married.
00:16:28We'll be in touch.
00:16:35That went exactly as expected.
00:16:37Yay! I'm really going to be my new mommy!
00:16:41I should start calling you my little spy.
00:16:43When does she move in?
00:16:46I'm not sure. We haven't had that discussion.
00:16:48And she's going to bake me more magical cookies filled with love.
00:16:52Has she done that before?
00:16:56Well, yes. Soon she'll be here and she'll bake you many things full of love.
00:17:00Yay! Yay!
00:17:08Wait. You fake Marion, Julie, and Barlow?
00:17:11I know. It's insane.
00:17:13Oh, my God. You do know that your hubby is worth like $100 billion, right?
00:17:17Very funny.
00:17:19He didn't.
00:17:21I'm not joking.
00:17:23Whoa. I've never seen that many zeros in one spot.
00:17:26Oh, my God. Bestie!
00:17:28You're literally married to one of the richest dudes on the planet.
00:17:31Olivia and her toes are totally going to flip out.
00:17:33We have to go to the high school reunion next weekend.
00:17:35I thought you said we were skipping that.
00:17:37Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Not anymore. We are going.
00:17:40Oh, come on. Please, please, please.
00:17:43Think about it.
00:17:45Yay!
00:17:47Why would someone like him even want a pretend marriage?
00:17:49I mean, he's charming, handsome, brilliant, and a good dad.
00:17:54Like, he could easily find a real wife.
00:17:57Maybe he's just avoiding commitment. You know, classic playboy move.
00:18:00He doesn't strike me as that type.
00:18:02Look at you, playing the little protective wife already.
00:18:05Shut up.
00:18:07So, when does Miss Barlow make her big debut?
00:18:11Tonight, actually.
00:18:13Care to help me find a dress for some exclusive gala?
00:18:17Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
00:18:19This is the most exclusive credit card of all credit cards.
00:18:22You can buy an island with this thing.
00:18:24I'm going to be sick.
00:18:26I have to find a way to give it back to him.
00:18:28Everly Harper, you will do no such thing.
00:18:30Can you please just be a little selfish for the both of us and live a little?
00:18:36You're right.
00:18:38Let's do this.
00:18:40Yay!
00:18:48Okay, I can't do this.
00:18:50$40,000 for a dress is insane.
00:18:52You could pay an entire village for that price.
00:18:54Yeah, crazy world we live in.
00:18:56Hello, ladies.
00:18:58My name is Pilar.
00:19:00Should we try something on?
00:19:02It appears to be your size, but I do have a seamstress on standby.
00:19:05Can I maybe rent it instead?
00:19:07Rent?
00:19:09That'll be $1,000 a day.
00:19:12Plus a $4,000 security deposit.
00:19:15Can you afford that?
00:19:18Oh my goodness, what manual labor job do you do?
00:19:21I'm a baker.
00:19:23Absolutely no rental for you.
00:19:26Those rough worker hands will snag the delicate fabric.
00:19:29There's a thrift store down the way that might be more at your speed.
00:19:33You don't understand.
00:19:35I'm attending the annual Celestial Charity Gala tonight.
00:19:37It's strictly black tie.
00:19:39Then what are you doing at Celestial, the most exclusive event in town?
00:19:43I know.
00:19:45You must be a waitress handing out caravans.
00:19:48Just buy it, then.
00:19:53This is a black card.
00:19:55Obviously.
00:19:57Held up at boutique.
00:19:59Not going too well.
00:20:04Well, well, well.
00:20:06This card belongs to Mr. Barlow.
00:20:08How did it end up in your hands?
00:20:10Mr. Barlow happens to be my best friend's husband.
00:20:14As if.
00:20:16You must have stolen it.
00:20:18Security, arrest these scammers for identity theft and fraud.
00:20:22Get your hands off of her, you animal.
00:20:26Let us...
00:20:30We're not thieves.
00:20:32You're making a mistake. The card was given to me.
00:20:34We're innocent.
00:20:40Get this trash out of my face.
00:20:44Let them go.
00:20:52Mr. Barlow, you're right on time.
00:20:54Okay, I just caught these scammers trying to charge $5,000 to your card.
00:20:57$5,000? When have you ever sold a dress under 30 grand?
00:21:01That was me.
00:21:03I was trying to rent it and said, no dress is worth that much.
00:21:06Are you kidding me?
00:21:08She's an innocent act. She's a clever scammer.
00:21:11Do you see anything you like?
00:21:13This one.
00:21:15But we were told to shop at the thrift shop.
00:21:17I'm Samantha, by the way. I've heard so much about you.
00:21:20Pleasure to meet you, Samantha.
00:21:22Pilar, my wife was looking to outfit herself for tonight's gala entirely through your boutique.
00:21:28Unfortunately, you cut up our card.
00:21:33So she...
00:21:35She really is your...
00:21:38Wife?
00:21:39At Barlow, we believe in treating everyone with respect and dignity.
00:21:43Isn't your lease up in 30 days?
00:21:46Mr. Barlow, I am so, so sorry.
00:21:49Okay, Mrs. Barlow, please, here.
00:21:51Take the dress. It's on the house.
00:21:53It's not necessary. Just bill my account.
00:21:58And Barlow won't renew your lease.
00:22:01Not here, not anywhere.
00:22:03You're done, Pilar.
00:22:05I'll make sure you never work in retail again.
00:22:30I realize right now this is the first time I'm seeing the real Evelyn.
00:22:34You've been hiding in plain sight.
00:22:36You know what, look over here.
00:22:38Mr. Barlow for the night? What's your name, man?
00:22:42I got you.
00:22:43What's your name?
00:22:56I feel like I don't fit in here.
00:22:58You don't fit in, Evelyn.
00:23:00You stand out.
00:23:02Don't be so obvious, Everly. You can't let yourself fall for him.
00:23:05It's true, everyone here is rich.
00:23:07But they're all human. Flaws and all.
00:23:12That's Chase and Daisy Harrington.
00:23:14They're in banking.
00:23:15I don't think you mean they work at the Teller Window.
00:23:18Chase can often be found at the dog trunk.
00:23:20And Daisy's a lush.
00:23:22She's probably spiked her wine with vodka already.
00:23:24Julian, that's awful.
00:23:26And that's Lily Blake Dubois.
00:23:28And her second husband.
00:23:30He's 25 years her junior.
00:23:32Men date women who are younger than them all the time.
00:23:35She was the PTA president, and he was in 9th grade.
00:23:38With her son, when they met.
00:23:40When they started their affair.
00:23:41Oh my god. I get it.
00:23:44I am no longer intimidated by anyone in here.
00:23:47Mission accomplished.
00:23:49Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:23:54Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:23:57I'm too old for surprises, mother.
00:24:00You flew from Paris for nothing.
00:24:02Nothing?
00:24:03You're making a fool of yourself with this gold digger.
00:24:07Miss Barlow, let's get two things straight.
00:24:10One, my name is Everly Harper.
00:24:13And two, I am not a gold digger.
00:24:16I've earned my keep since I was six years old.
00:24:18And I started my business from scratch.
00:24:20I don't need your money.
00:24:22But I would like your respect.
00:24:25So, I won't let anyone talk down to me.
00:24:27Even if you are Julian's mother.
00:24:29Impudent girl.
00:24:30Meddling mother.
00:24:34Aren't you going to say anything?
00:24:37Meddling mother?
00:24:38I couldn't have put it better myself.
00:24:42I don't know what you did to trick my son into marriage.
00:24:45But I have my eye on you, Everly Harper.
00:24:48One false move, and you are through.
00:24:51Alright, that's enough.
00:24:53Enjoy your evening alone, mother.
00:25:05Everly, I want to apologize.
00:25:09My mother was out of line.
00:25:11She didn't expect it either.
00:25:12She's so determined, she won't back down.
00:25:15We need to make sure she doesn't start digging into the details of our marriage.
00:25:19So, what's our next steps?
00:25:22I want you to move in with me.
00:25:27It was going to happen sooner or later.
00:25:29Mother just expedited it.
00:25:31That goes to the kitchen.
00:25:35Living room.
00:25:36Living room.
00:25:37It's just all moving a little too fast.
00:25:39I mean, one minute Julian's asking me to move in with him,
00:25:42and the next, movers are packing my stuff.
00:25:44But you gotta love a man that takes action, you know?
00:25:46You are oddly chipper about all this.
00:25:48I mean, here I was feeling bad about leaving you to find a new roommate.
00:25:51I don't know, I think I'm going to try living alone for a while.
00:25:53Samantha, how can you afford that?
00:25:55The new landlord lowered everyone's rent.
00:25:57Since when?
00:25:58Since you became his fake bride.
00:26:01He knew that you felt bad for me,
00:26:03and so he bought the entire apartment complex
00:26:05and lowered everyone's rent.
00:26:07That's...
00:26:09That's...
00:26:10romantic.
00:26:12Everly, billionaires don't think like normal people, sweetie.
00:26:15This is your life now.
00:26:16You need to get used to it, okay?
00:26:22Are we going to have gazpacho for dinner?
00:26:25If it pleases Miss Bella to have gazpacho.
00:26:28Hello!
00:26:29Okay, what can I get you today?
00:26:32You're welcome.
00:26:40Shouldn't take me longer than two days
00:26:42to inspect the site in Indonesia.
00:26:44Are you sure you can watch Bella?
00:26:46I haven't hired a nanny yet,
00:26:48and she tires Miss Delaney out.
00:26:50Don't worry about us.
00:26:51You focus on work.
00:26:52Bella and I will be just fine.
00:26:54I'll take her to the bakery with me.
00:26:55She'll have a blast.
00:26:57Here's a detailed list of her routines,
00:26:59do's and don'ts, allergies,
00:27:01emergency contact information,
00:27:03all the information you'll ever need.
00:27:05Love soccer, allergic to strawberries,
00:27:08doctor's number.
00:27:09I'm impressed.
00:27:10I wouldn't have thought a CEO like you
00:27:12would be this hands-on with this kid.
00:27:14Well, you thought wrong.
00:27:15Bella means the world to me.
00:27:20Daddy, why are you staring at Emily like that?
00:27:24You like her.
00:27:26Sorry, she doesn't know what she's talking about.
00:27:28Well, sometimes kids have a way of knowing the truth.
00:27:31They also have a way of being annoying.
00:27:33Well, anyways, me and Bun-Bun wanted to play airplane.
00:27:37All right, Munchkin, you have one minute.
00:27:41Yippee!
00:27:42Yay!
00:27:43Yay!
00:27:44Yay!
00:27:45Yay!
00:27:46Yay!
00:27:47Yay!
00:27:49Yippee!
00:27:51Ready?
00:27:52Yeah!
00:27:57So this is what a happy family looks like.
00:28:00It looks so nice.
00:28:02I wonder if we could be a real family someday.
00:28:04Just the three of us.
00:28:10Okay, chef, what's on the menu today?
00:28:14Chocolate cupcakes and chocolate donuts
00:28:17and chocolate cake.
00:28:19Oh, and chocolate chip cookies.
00:28:21I'm sensing a chocolate theme.
00:28:23Okay, it's time to get to work, chef.
00:28:25Yippee, chef!
00:28:31Ta-da!
00:28:32What do you think, chef?
00:28:37I can taste the love.
00:28:38What?
00:28:39The magic ingredient.
00:28:41I can taste it.
00:28:42That's good.
00:28:46Evelyn?
00:28:47Hmm?
00:28:48Do you like my dad?
00:28:50Of course I like him.
00:28:52He's a great guy and a good dad.
00:28:54So you could become my mommy for real?
00:28:57Bella, I don't know what the future holds,
00:29:01but I know you have a very special place in my heart, okay?
00:29:05Okay.
00:29:07Whoa, that was fast.
00:29:10Okay, it's time for rest.
00:29:16Daddy!
00:29:24Oh, my God, I'm falling for him.
00:29:29Daddy!
00:29:31Did you miss me, Munchkin?
00:29:34Did you miss me, Munchkin?
00:29:36So much, but Everly's the best.
00:29:38I got to be a chef.
00:29:40And we had a movie marathon,
00:29:42and I got to sleep in sheep tents in the living room,
00:29:45and we ate in the kitchen with Mrs. Delaney,
00:29:48who was all frowny, but then she was all smiley.
00:29:51I like the kitchen better than the dining room.
00:29:53Can we eat there from now on?
00:29:55I see you've made some changes.
00:29:57Very minor ones.
00:29:59Oops, did I say something bad?
00:30:01Munchkin, Daddy's just learning his little set in his ways.
00:30:04You can do everything, Dad, but you're a bad cook,
00:30:07and Everly's way better at girl stuff.
00:30:09You're like the prince, and Everly's the princess,
00:30:11and we can all live happily ever after,
00:30:14with fun ones, of course.
00:30:20Kids and their fairy tales.
00:30:22She'll understand that we can't be more than a pretend couple when she's older.
00:30:26Of course. She's still too little.
00:30:29They can't be more than a pretend couple.
00:30:31Right. It felt so real.
00:30:33I let myself forget it was a fake marriage.
00:30:36It can never be anything more.
00:30:45Oh, my God. You have to go.
00:30:48Oh, come on. Olivia and Nolan are going to gossip about us
00:30:50if you do not show your face tomorrow.
00:30:52They're going to do that regardless.
00:30:53Okay, I'm sorry, Sammy. I thought about it,
00:30:55and I don't want to go to our high school reunion.
00:30:57Okay, hear me out. Just picture this.
00:30:59You walk in with your new, hot, billionaire husband.
00:31:02It's the perfect revenge for the mean girls that used to call us poor losers.
00:31:05No, I would never use Julian in that way.
00:31:07Well, if the thing is, I already told them that you would be there with them.
00:31:11Shh.
00:31:12Okay, don't get upset. Don't get upset.
00:31:14It's just that Olivia posted that we were lying skinks,
00:31:16and then I kind of just blew it from there, and then all of a sudden...
00:31:18Samantha, you make everything ten times worse.
00:31:20Don't worry. I'll go with you.
00:31:22I can't let my wife be humiliated.
00:31:24I came by to take you to dinner as a thank you for helping me with Bella.
00:31:29Did he really mean that? His wife?
00:31:32You should take the day off tomorrow and go pamper yourself.
00:31:35I'll make the arrangements with the hotel spa.
00:31:37On one condition. Can you make the reservation for two?
00:31:42I can do that.
00:31:50I want to get my nails done, too.
00:31:52What color do you want to get, Bella?
00:31:54The exact same as you.
00:31:55I also want to get some for Bun Bun.
00:31:57You look slay with those.
00:31:59You're so adorable.
00:32:01How could any mother abandon you?
00:32:04I wish you were really mine.
00:32:11Oh, my.
00:32:12Mr. Barlow said that you might need some help getting into it.
00:32:17I can't wear that, Miss Delaney.
00:32:19Miss Delaney, it's too beautiful and definitely way too expensive.
00:32:23Nonsense, dear.
00:32:25Mr. Barlow said to tell you you're the only one that can do it justice.
00:32:32Now let's see it on you.
00:32:41I want to thank you for the dress.
00:32:43I'll find a way to pay you back.
00:32:45Seeing you in it is payment enough.
00:32:48You are drop dead gorgeous, Everly.
00:32:51It's not me. It's the dress.
00:32:53Why do you do that?
00:32:55Why do you downplay your beauty?
00:32:57I don't like to draw attention to myself.
00:33:00You shouldn't have to dim your light to make others feel good about themselves.
00:33:05Mr. Barlow, sir, there is a visitor here demanding to speak with you.
00:33:10I'm not expecting anyone.
00:33:12It's your ex-wife.
00:33:18It's your ex-wife.
00:33:22I'm not expecting anyone.
00:33:24It's your ex-wife.
00:33:29It's your ex-wife.
00:33:35I put Miss Rossi in the guest room.
00:33:37Where's Bella?
00:33:38She's with Miss Delaney in the playroom.
00:33:40Good. We need to keep Bella away from Kendra.
00:33:44I 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.
00:33:50My driver will take you there. I promise.
00:33:57It's been so long, Julian.
00:33:59Not long enough. What do you want?
00:34:01Not long enough. What do you want?
00:34:04I want my daughter. I want Bella.
00:34:14I heard Everly is coming to the reunion.
00:34:17I thought that she would never show her face here ever again.
00:34:21Everly? The foster kid weirdo?
00:34:24Yeah, well, she destroyed my engagement party, so I'm going to destroy her tonight.
00:34:28Didn't Amanda say she's married to Julian Barlow?
00:34:31What if he's going to come with her?
00:34:33He might fuck her, but a Barlow is not going to marry trash like her.
00:34:53She should be mine.
00:34:59Eyes on me, Nolan.
00:35:01They really did recreate senior prom.
00:35:03Yep, all the waves, the tacky decorations, and the cheesy DJ.
00:35:07Last time I was here, I was with Nolan.
00:35:09My foster mom at the time helped make my dress, and it looked it.
00:35:13We didn't even get our first dance before Olivia told everyone I had an STD.
00:35:17That's right, and then Nolan couldn't take it and he bailed.
00:35:20We should have known then that he was a dick.
00:35:22Yeah, I forgave him.
00:35:23No one could stand up for Olivia, myself included at that time.
00:35:27Let's slay this bitch.
00:35:29I mean the dance, of course.
00:35:32That dress looks like it cost a fortune.
00:35:35What do you think, Olivia?
00:35:37You're a fashion expert.
00:35:39It can't be the Nightingale of Hanoi.
00:35:41That dress is worth millions.
00:35:44It's just a cheap knockoff.
00:35:46Come on, girls.
00:35:48Let's give Everly a high school reunion she'll never forget.
00:35:52Let's give Everly a high school reunion she'll never forget.
00:35:58Hey, where's your husband?
00:36:01Julian's on his way.
00:36:02Shut up, loser. No one's talking to you.
00:36:04Bitch.
00:36:05Give it up, Everly.
00:36:06We all know he got bored and dumped you.
00:36:11It's like, okay.
00:36:14Did you just fucking shrug at me?
00:36:17Apparently you've forgotten your place.
00:36:19Must be that dress giving you attitude, but it's a cheap knockoff just like you.
00:36:24I don't think it's a knockoff.
00:36:26It's a gift from my husband.
00:36:28Give it up, bitch.
00:36:30We all know you're lying your husband, your dress.
00:36:34I call bullshit.
00:36:36Grow up, Olivia.
00:36:37You're too old to still be a mean girl.
00:36:49Hey, no, no, no.
00:36:50Let go of me, Nolan.
00:36:52Get your hands off of her.
00:36:54Just because you're fucking a Barlow doesn't make you royalty.
00:36:58Take that fake dress off, or I'll take it off for you.
00:37:01What makes you think it's fake?
00:37:03You clueless bitch.
00:37:05I'm a fashion influencer.
00:37:08With 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?
00:37:21That's why Julian grinned when I said I'd pay him back for the dress.
00:37:26Take it off.
00:37:31Hey, no, get off of her.
00:37:37Let go.
00:37:39No, no, no.
00:37:42After me.
00:37:47Stop.
00:37:48Get away from my wife.
00:37:51Get away from my wife.
00:38:05I'm sorry I'm late.
00:38:06The dress is ruined.
00:38:08Please tell me it wasn't worth millions of dollars.
00:38:11I can't tell you that.
00:38:13Apologize to my wife, now.
00:38:15We were just joking.
00:38:17You know, fooling around.
00:38:19My wife was on the ground, soaking wet, dress torn.
00:38:22What you did was battery and harassment.
00:38:24My lawyer's not going to think that's funny.
00:38:26I sure as hell don't.
00:38:27Lawyers?
00:38:29Who the hell are you?
00:38:31That's Julian Barlow.
00:38:32He's one of the richest men in the world.
00:38:34Do you know how much this dress is worth?
00:38:36Every bead is a genuine, flawless diamond.
00:38:40Miss St. James, you just ruined a $10 million gown.
00:38:43Oh, shit.
00:38:45No.
00:38:46No, no.
00:38:48No, that can't be.
00:38:49You better start liquidating all your assets,
00:38:51including your parents' house,
00:38:52because the insurance company is coming for your ass.
00:38:54Then the police.
00:38:56Good luck finding a job in fashion
00:38:58after ruining one of the most famous dresses in the world.
00:39:03That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:39:08That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:39:11That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:39:13You did this.
00:39:15You set me up.
00:39:16You did it to yourself.
00:39:18Nolan, do something.
00:39:20I left the woman I love because you said we'd be rich,
00:39:23and now you have nothing.
00:39:25You piece of shit.
00:39:26Nope.
00:39:31Don't do this.
00:39:33Please don't do this.
00:39:34I'm not the one you need to beg for forgiveness.
00:39:41I'm sorry, Everly.
00:39:44I never should have tormented you all of those years.
00:39:48You didn't deserve it.
00:39:50Then why did you do it?
00:39:52Why me?
00:39:56Why me?
00:39:57Because even with your shitty clothes,
00:40:00your terrible hair,
00:40:02you were still beautiful.
00:40:04Everyone could see it.
00:40:06I would kill to look like you,
00:40:08and you treated it like it was nothing.
00:40:10So you hated me because I was pretty
00:40:13and didn't shove it in people's faces?
00:40:15That is so messed up.
00:40:18Well, I was right to hate you.
00:40:21Look at you.
00:40:22You bagged a billionaire without even trying.
00:40:25Everly is beautiful inside and out.
00:40:28That's what draws people to her.
00:40:30You're done here.
00:40:31I'm not going to push any criminal charges,
00:40:33but the insurance company will be reaching out.
00:40:35You're on the hook for that dress.
00:40:38Oh my God, I never thought that I'd see this in a lifetime.
00:40:41Please pinch me and tell me that I'm not dreaming.
00:40:43If you are, so am I.
00:40:46You want to get out of here?
00:40:47Yes, please.
00:41:02Bitches.
00:41:03Who knew that high school reunions would be this fun?
00:41:09Thank you for what you did.
00:41:11I never had anyone come to my rescue before.
00:41:14I enjoyed doing it.
00:41:16You matter to me, Everly.
00:41:19Me and Belen.
00:41:21Hey, I understand.
00:41:24Thank you again.
00:41:26Have a good night, Julian.
00:41:27Everly, wait.
00:41:29That came out wrong.
00:41:31What I meant was
00:41:33I have feelings for you.
00:41:35But I don't want to leave you on.
00:41:37Kendra's betrayal of our marriage,
00:41:39it broke something inside of me
00:41:41and I don't think I can commit to another woman.
00:41:46I just want to be with you.
00:41:48I'm not asking for anything else.
00:41:50You're so amazing, Julian,
00:41:52and I like everything about you.
00:41:54You just...
00:42:06Sir, is that you?
00:42:08I heard a noise.
00:42:12Yes, Mr. Gibson.
00:42:14You can go to bed.
00:42:15Yes, sir. Good night, sir.
00:42:17Ma'am.
00:42:18Fuck, that was embarrassing.
00:42:20I haven't got caught like that since I was a little schoolboy.
00:42:23Do you think he saw us?
00:42:25No, I don't think he saw us.
00:42:27I don't think he saw us.
00:42:29I don't think he saw us.
00:42:31I don't think he saw us.
00:42:33I was a little schoolboy.
00:42:34Do you think he saw us?
00:42:36He probably did, but he's not going to say anything.
00:42:40I want nothing more than to take you upstairs right now.
00:42:43Me too.
00:42:44You're so honest, Everly.
00:42:46It's one of the many things I admire about you.
00:42:49And although it's going to kill me,
00:42:52I want you to go to bed.
00:42:54You're too noble.
00:42:57No one's ever said that to me before.
00:43:01Good night, sweetheart.
00:43:05Now go.
00:43:07Before I change my mind.
00:43:11Did that just happen?
00:43:13Am I actually dating Julian Barlow?
00:43:21This is nice.
00:43:23Just holding your hand.
00:43:27What are we going to tell Bella?
00:43:28I don't want to get her hopes up,
00:43:30but we are dating now.
00:43:32Change of steps.
00:43:34We have to put her first.
00:43:36Have you always thought of others at the expense of yourself?
00:43:39That's why I was bullied so much growing up,
00:43:42and why people take advantage of me.
00:43:44Don't say that.
00:43:45You're the best person I know, Everly.
00:43:47And now you have me.
00:43:49And I promise I won't let anyone hurt you anymore.
00:43:59So you think you can replace me with this whore, Julian?
00:44:03Let's see how that works out when I get through with the both of you.
00:44:11So, this is your latest slut.
00:44:14Kendra, are you following me?
00:44:16I'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,
00:44:27and you cheated on me with my best friend.
00:44:29Then you abandoned your daughter and went to Europe
00:44:31with some tennis pro at a club.
00:44:33That was ages ago.
00:44:35I've changed now.
00:44:37I'm ready to be a wife and a mother,
00:44:39and you can't let this homewrecker
00:44:41get in the way of what we can have.
00:44:43Everly is my wife now.
00:44:45And stay away from Bella.
00:44:46You don't have visitation rights.
00:44:50Oh, we'll see about that.
00:44:52I'm Bella's birth mother.
00:44:54That's never going to change.
00:44:57I can't lose my daughter, or we'll...
00:44:59You won't. We'll fight it together.
00:45:11Hello, sir.
00:45:12What can I get for you today?
00:45:14I need to ask a favor of you.
00:45:16Sorry.
00:45:18No freebies for men with mean ex-wives?
00:45:20No ex-wife.
00:45:22Just one wife, right in front of me.
00:45:26I'm still working.
00:45:28I'll have to kick you out if you're not a paying customer.
00:45:31Then I'll pay now.
00:45:38I guess just bought the entire store.
00:45:41I need help from my favorite cake baker.
00:45:43Bella's Elementary School is hosting a bake sale,
00:45:46and every family brings a homemade dessert,
00:45:49and they all compete for first place.
00:45:52Would you want to go with us?
00:45:55You want me to be a part of your family?
00:45:57Part of your neighbors?
00:45:59Of course.
00:46:08No, you have to stir in the same direction clockwise 30 times.
00:46:12Wow.
00:46:13I had no idea you had to be so accurate.
00:46:16You do if you want to be the best.
00:46:20No, not like that. Like this.
00:46:25You are the worst student.
00:46:28I'm sorry I can't concentrate, because my teacher's so hot.
00:46:32I'm sorry I can't concentrate, because my teacher's so hot.
00:46:48Everly and Daddy, sittin' in a tree.
00:46:51Can I ask if I am free?
00:46:54I'm gonna get you.
00:46:57Come here.
00:47:03Come here.
00:47:15Hey, Bella. Remember me?
00:47:19No.
00:47:20I'm your mother.
00:47:21No, you're not.
00:47:22Everly's my mom. I chose her.
00:47:24You little brat. You can't choose your mother.
00:47:26You're born with one, and that's what you get.
00:47:28That's enough, Kendra.
00:47:29You're upsetting Bella and causing a scene.
00:47:32Whatever. Move aside.
00:47:34I'm going to win this bake sale and prove who the real mother is.
00:47:39Those are store-bought cookies.
00:47:41What is she thinking?
00:47:43No, she made those.
00:47:45Her family owns Rossi Cookies.
00:47:47They're a franchise. They have stores in every country.
00:47:49You didn't tell me your ex was a world-renowned baker.
00:47:52She doesn't have a tenth of your talent.
00:47:54Her grandma's the baker. She uses the recipes.
00:47:57There's not one creative bone in her body.
00:48:01Oh, my God. That's amazing.
00:48:04I want to buy all of it.
00:48:06Who made this?
00:48:09Julian Barlow?
00:48:11I had no idea he was such a talented baker.
00:48:17Here. Try mine.
00:48:19Not to brag, but the Rossi name is renowned in the world of desserts.
00:48:24Not bad, but nowhere near the Barlow's.
00:48:27Not bad, but nowhere near the Barlow's.
00:48:29I'm telling you, you ought to taste it.
00:48:31It's simply magic in your mouth.
00:48:33I think we know who the winner is.
00:48:38Yay!
00:48:42You want to see magic?
00:48:44I'm going to make that bitch disappear.
00:48:47Abra-fucking-cadabra.
00:48:50I can't forget that.
00:48:52Top of Bella's grocery list.
00:48:54She would never forgive me.
00:48:56Well, aren't we the perfect little housewife?
00:48:59That is, until Bella is rushed to the hospital.
00:49:03Oops.
00:49:08Emily! Hi!
00:49:10So lucky to run into you here.
00:49:12Oh. Herself.
00:49:15I owe you one.
00:49:17How so?
00:49:19I owe you an apology for how rude I was to you earlier.
00:49:22In my defense, you'd have to be a mother to understand how it feels to see another woman raising a child.
00:49:28Do you have it in your heart to forgive me?
00:49:30It's Bella and Julian you owe an apology to, not me.
00:49:35Watch your back.
00:49:37There's a long line of women waiting to get their claws into Julian.
00:49:40Beautiful, sexy, sophisticated women.
00:49:44Who are suited to his lifestyle.
00:49:46Seizing his every want and desire.
00:49:49Is there some kind of threat?
00:49:52No.
00:49:54Just a cold, hard fact that you, Everly Harper,
00:49:58will never be more than a glorified babysitter to him.
00:50:02That's funny.
00:50:04Because you'll never be more than a bitter memory to him.
00:50:08Now stop messing with our family.
00:50:11Next time, I won't be so nice.
00:50:17Next time, you'll be the psycho who drugged Julian's daughter.
00:50:27Can I ask you a question?
00:50:30Why did you choose me?
00:50:32Oh.
00:50:34Where's this coming from?
00:50:36I mean, once Bella grows up and doesn't need a mom anymore,
00:50:40will you still want to be with me?
00:50:42Everly, sweetheart, this doesn't sound like you.
00:50:45It's just...
00:50:46It's just I'm not like the society women you've dated in the past.
00:50:50What if you get bored with me?
00:50:56Imagine dating someone who barely eats because they're watching their figure.
00:51:00And spends more time with their plastic surgeons than with their family.
00:51:04You mean these society women?
00:51:07You're so bad.
00:51:10I'm sorry.
00:51:12I let Kendra get in my head.
00:51:14When did you see Kendra?
00:51:19It's Bella's school.
00:51:21This is Julian Barlow.
00:51:24Emergency room.
00:51:26Uh-huh.
00:51:28I understand. I'm on my way.
00:51:30What's going on? Is Bella okay?
00:51:32The school nurse said that she was poisoned.
00:51:34Something she ate. Something about a lollipop.
00:51:41Bella is asleep.
00:51:43Fortunately, the lab results just showed that it was a common prescribed sedative
00:51:47that was on the lollipop.
00:51:49How does this happen? I don't understand.
00:51:51I have to ask, have you had any threats recently
00:51:55or encountered any suspicious characters?
00:51:58I came as soon as I heard.
00:52:00How is our precious Bella?
00:52:02She's coming along.
00:52:04Okay. Poison?
00:52:06Poison?
00:52:08My God, what kind of monster would poison an innocent child?
00:52:11With a lollipop, no less.
00:52:13I'm sorry.
00:52:15Doctor, did you say lollipop?
00:52:17The perpetrator poisoned Julian and my daughter with a lollipop.
00:52:23Well, that's interesting.
00:52:25Because I ran into Everly at the bakery yesterday
00:52:28and I saw one of Bella's favorite rainbow-colored lollipops.
00:52:33Are you suggesting that I had something to do with this?
00:52:36You gave Bella that lollipop, did you not?
00:52:45I did, but...
00:52:47I can't believe this.
00:52:49Our precious Bella, our little angel, drugged by yet another baby.
00:52:53I did no such thing. I would never...
00:52:56Wait, hold on. Bella's been poisoned before?
00:52:58Is this true, Julian?
00:53:00I was 18 months old. I had a babysitter.
00:53:02I haven't been able to trust anyone since then, just you.
00:53:06But now I...
00:53:08Now what?
00:53:10I'll tell you what.
00:53:12You're not coming near Bella ever again.
00:53:15No, no, this can't be real.
00:53:17You know I would never hurt Bella.
00:53:19You know I love her like she's my own daughter.
00:53:21Oh, but she's not.
00:53:23She's ours.
00:53:25Julian, will you be calling security or shall I?
00:53:31Julian, will you be calling security or shall I?
00:53:38Everly, I'm sorry.
00:53:40I'm sorry for ever doubting you, even for a second.
00:53:42I know that you could never harm Bella.
00:53:45Not because you're my wife, but because of your loving heart.
00:53:48Julian, what are you saying? She's dangerous!
00:53:51Stop, Kendra, just stop!
00:53:53But...
00:53:55Look at the evidence.
00:53:57Everly bought the rainbow-colored lollipop for Bella.
00:53:59Who else could have tampered with it?
00:54:02How did you know it was a rainbow lollipop?
00:54:05No one mentioned what color it was.
00:54:08It's...
00:54:09No, you switched them.
00:54:11At the bakery parking lot, that's why you were there.
00:54:15You drugged your own daughter just to frame me?
00:54:17What kind of sicko does that?
00:54:19You can't prove that.
00:54:21But your prescription medicine can.
00:54:22Julian, stop! That's not mine!
00:54:25She's been taking Sative since I met her.
00:54:28That's exactly what was found in Bella's system.
00:54:31It's...
00:54:32You psychotic bitch!
00:54:34First you tried to kill my daughter, now you're trying to frame my wife?
00:54:37It's common! It could be found from anywhere!
00:54:40It could have been anyone!
00:54:43It could have been you!
00:54:44It was you, wasn't it? I'm telling you, it wasn't mine!
00:54:50Bella's waking up.
00:54:53Thank God she's okay.
00:54:56The thought of losing her was too much to bear.
00:54:59We don't have to think about that.
00:55:01She has you.
00:55:03I have you.
00:55:05And we all have each other.
00:55:07Whatever comes our way.
00:55:09That's what family's for.
00:55:11That's what it means to love.
00:55:13And be loved.
00:55:15Exactly.
00:55:18Stop!
00:55:20Stop it. We're in the children's ward.
00:55:23I'm pretty sure all these doctors and nurses know how babies are born.
00:55:27They're made.
00:55:31Mommy? Daddy?
00:55:35Brain check?
00:55:36Oh, you can count on it.
00:55:38Is that my little munchkin in there making noise?
00:55:44Welcome in.
00:55:46What gang is that?
00:55:49No.
00:55:51What is there a rule against selling a cake to your ex?
00:55:53Come on, Everly.
00:55:55Look, Everly, I'm sorry.
00:55:57I made a big mistake, I'll admit that.
00:55:59But I've changed.
00:56:00I left Olivia, and I just want to start fresh.
00:56:03I want to do this again.
00:56:04Are you serious?
00:56:05Yes, it was all Olivia's doing.
00:56:07You know how manipulative she can be.
00:56:09And I only loved you the entire time.
00:56:12You think Julian... Julian's a multi-billionaire.
00:56:14You think he'd really go for someone like you?
00:56:16I mean, get real, Everly.
00:56:18If he doesn't love you, what would I do?
00:56:21Wish I would die without you.
00:56:27Get the hell out of my bakery.
00:56:30You fucking bitch.
00:56:32No one's gonna come to save you.
00:56:37Stay away from my wife.
00:56:39Last warning.
00:56:40Stay away from her or I'll break more than just your arm.
00:56:42Motherfucker.
00:56:44If I can't have her, no one can.
00:56:53Thank you for stepping in, Julian.
00:56:55I wish I could be here all the time, but I can't.
00:56:58Nolan.
00:57:00It's gonna be a problem.
00:57:02I can't exactly lock my doors.
00:57:03Don't work by yourself anymore.
00:57:05Make sure Samantha's with you.
00:57:08Samantha the Munchkin.
00:57:10Thanks.
00:57:13I have to pick her up right now.
00:57:15We'll see you later?
00:57:17Stay alert.
00:57:38And the hits keep coming.
00:57:41First my ex, now his.
00:57:44When will we ever catch a break?
00:57:55We have to keep that from Bella.
00:57:57I'll get my lawyer to file her straining order against Kendra this week.
00:58:01Maybe there's a way we can make peace with Bella's mom.
00:58:04We've tried.
00:58:05She's turned every attempt against us, including Bella.
00:58:10I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:58:15How can I help protect Bella?
00:58:17No, Everly, it's not your fight.
00:58:19Yes, it is. Contract or not, you and I are in this together.
00:58:21I can't stand by while you and Bella suffer.
00:58:35What if Bella wakes up?
00:58:36She hung her head years ago. I just kept it.
00:58:38I know.
00:59:05I love you.
00:59:36What are your thoughts on a family date?
00:59:39The three of us.
00:59:41You want to go on a picnic?
00:59:44I'll go wherever you'll take me.
00:59:49So where did you get Bun Bun?
00:59:51When I was three years old.
00:59:53Yep, we were outside and she saw a rabbit run across the yard.
00:59:57She looked at me and reached her hands out and I said,
00:59:59No, you can't have a wild animal.
01:00:02So she started crying.
01:00:03So naturally, I got her Bun Bun the next day.
01:00:05Naturally.
01:00:13Bella!
01:00:14My baby.
01:00:15Come to mom.
01:00:16What are you doing here? You look like a stalker.
01:00:20I'm still your mother.
01:00:21And I brought your favorite food, strawberries.
01:00:25Everly loves me more than you.
01:00:27And I love her too.
01:00:28And I can't eat strawberries.
01:00:33Darling.
01:00:34That woman is just after daddy's money.
01:00:37You're lying. I hate you.
01:00:40You can't talk to me like that.
01:00:42I'm your mother.
01:00:43No, you're not. Everly is my mommy.
01:00:46You're scary.
01:00:47You little brat.
01:00:49Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:00:52Mommy! Daddy!
01:00:55Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:00:58Mommy! Daddy!
01:00:59Kendra, what the hell?
01:01:01I'm trying to protect my daughter from this fucking bitch.
01:01:04Hey, watch your language in front of Bella.
01:01:07Strawberries? Kendra, are you insane?
01:01:09Bella's deathly allergic.
01:01:11How was I supposed to know?
01:01:12You never let me see that bitch.
01:01:14That's a lie. You abandoned her.
01:01:16Shut up, you lying gold digger.
01:01:17I'm twice the mother that you'll ever be.
01:01:21Bella!
01:01:23Come back, sweetie.
01:01:24She's overwhelmed. You're scaring her.
01:01:27You know nothing about my daughter.
01:01:29But I know about you.
01:01:31You're just a foster kid.
01:01:32One step up from the gutter.
01:01:35Bella and I both know that Everly is the best thing to happen to this family.
01:01:40Bella, sweetie.
01:01:42You can't possibly think that this poor substitute is better than a real mother.
01:01:47We have the same blood.
01:01:48You're part Rossi.
01:01:50You can't ask your daughter that.
01:01:52Shut up!
01:01:53Kendra, this isn't some game that you can win.
01:01:56This is Bella and Julian's lives.
01:01:59I don't know why, but you abandoned them.
01:02:02You trying to snatch them back just so you can win won't make you happy.
01:02:05You have to move on.
01:02:08You have to move on.
01:02:12I know I don't deserve her.
01:02:14But I found out last month that I'm infertile.
01:02:19I can never have another baby.
01:02:21Bella's it for me.
01:02:29I love you.
01:02:35I know she's done some bad things.
01:02:37But she's still your mother, Bella.
01:02:39Why don't you go give her a hug?
01:02:44I don't really hate you.
01:02:47I know, baby.
01:02:50It's all my fault.
01:02:56You're right.
01:02:58I only wanted to win.
01:03:00You can win a game, but you can never win someone's heart.
01:03:04You're very wise.
01:03:06Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be your friend.
01:03:09I'm just trying to leave my daughter with a happy memory.
01:03:15Take care, Kendra.
01:03:17Maybe one day I'll let Bella write you.
01:03:19She's older.
01:03:23Bye, sweetie.
01:03:28She fell for my sob story.
01:03:30Stupid bitch.
01:03:32I won't stop until I get my man back.
01:03:34And the kid with him.
01:03:41Oh!
01:03:42What's all this for?
01:03:46100th Annual International Bake Off.
01:03:49Sounds like a big deal.
01:03:50It's invitation only.
01:03:52And I can't believe I got in.
01:03:54If I do well, it'll really help put the bakery on the map.
01:03:57Well, given how you rocked that bake sale,
01:04:00you've got this in the bag.
01:04:01That was nothing.
01:04:02I need a showstopper that's going to dazzle their taste buds
01:04:05and win over their hearts.
01:04:09So what's the secret weapon?
01:04:12Vanilla rosemary five-layer cake
01:04:14topped with a lavender buttercream and a hint of orange zest.
01:04:17Sounds like I need to clear some space on the mantle
01:04:19for that first place trophy.
01:04:22Cut it out!
01:04:23I'm trying to concentrate.
01:04:25What?
01:04:26Oh, am I distracting you?
01:04:29I'm a sucker for a messy apron.
01:04:33Okay, fine.
01:04:34You can stay, but you have to make yourself useful.
01:04:38What's first, chef?
01:04:42Ladies and gentlemen,
01:04:43welcome to our 100th Annual International Bake Off.
01:04:46Please find your seat.
01:04:48Our competition will start shortly.
01:04:56You got this, girl.
01:04:57We'll be in the front row cheering you on, okay?
01:04:59Thanks, Sammy.
01:05:00I'm gonna go check my presentation one more time.
01:05:06Knock them dead out there, sweetheart.
01:05:11Good luck.
01:05:18There you are, falling nicely into my trap.
01:05:21Who do you think arranged the invite, you pathetic nobody?
01:05:34Hey, Everly.
01:05:35Ready to get crushed?
01:05:38Indra, what are you doing here?
01:05:39Are you stalking me?
01:05:41You look scared.
01:05:42You should be.
01:05:44I'm going to win that trophy
01:05:46and prove who's the better baker and mother.
01:05:49I'm infertile.
01:05:51I can never have another baby.
01:05:54So everything you said at the park was a lie.
01:05:56You're not infertile.
01:05:57You just can't stand that Bella chose me.
01:05:59I'm her fucking mother, bitch.
01:06:01You're a monster.
01:06:02And you're just an amateur who doesn't deserve to be here.
01:06:07Did you really think you earned a place in this competition?
01:06:10I'm the one who got the judges to invite you,
01:06:12and now Julian's going to see what a poor orphan loser you truly are.
01:06:18Bring it on, Rossi.
01:06:20My recipe has heart and soul,
01:06:22and they will beat your assembly line crap any day.
01:06:28Oh, yeah?
01:06:29Do you know what goes great with cake?
01:06:32What?
01:06:33Coffee.
01:06:34Oops!
01:06:39Oops!
01:06:44Indra, what the hell?
01:06:46You better go get cleaned up.
01:06:48Wouldn't want to meet the judges looking like that.
01:06:50So unsanitary.
01:07:08Your knight in shining armor can't save your ass this time.
01:07:11Never leave.
01:07:13Our next competitor,
01:07:15Indra Rossi.
01:07:20Hi, judge.
01:07:22This is my own one-of-a-kind original recipe.
01:07:28A vanilla rosemary five-layer cake with lavender buttercream
01:07:33and a hint of orange zest.
01:07:35That's my cake!
01:07:40What are you talking about?
01:07:41You stole my recipe!
01:07:43A nobody accusing me, a Rossi, of cheating?
01:07:47How dare you?
01:07:50Man, you have impeccable taste in women
01:07:53because obviously you chose Everly,
01:07:55but that woman up there?
01:07:57How did you end up with such a nightmare ex?
01:07:59I was young and stupid.
01:08:02Yeah, obviously.
01:08:04So what are we going to do to salvage this?
01:08:05Can't you just, like, pull some strings or something?
01:08:07You're Julian freaking Barlow, for goodness sake.
01:08:09It's not that simple.
01:08:10I know Everly wouldn't want to win that way.
01:08:14Dammit.
01:08:15So what do we do now?
01:08:19Kendra can't get away with this.
01:08:23A nobody accusing me, a Rossi, of cheating?
01:08:28How dare you?
01:08:32Oops!
01:08:33You better go get cleaned up.
01:08:35Wouldn't want to meet the judges looking like that.
01:08:37So that's why you spilled coffee on me.
01:08:40So you could hack my laptop behind my back
01:08:42the same way you switched the lollipops behind my back
01:08:44when you poisoned Bella.
01:08:47That is a serious accusation.
01:08:50Now, can you prove that this cake is your creation?
01:08:54Here's your proof.
01:09:02We can't see anything.
01:09:04The screen is blank.
01:09:07What happened to my files?
01:09:08They're not there.
01:09:10As I said, this recipe is mine, and mine alone.
01:09:13No, no, no, no.
01:09:15It's not true.
01:09:16Kendra Rossi, you're a thief.
01:09:18I think we've heard enough.
01:09:20Sir, I know this recipe, my recipe, by heart.
01:09:23I can recite it from memory.
01:09:25I'm afraid that doesn't prove anything.
01:09:27Now, I think it's best that you leave the stage now
01:09:32before I have to disqualify you.
01:09:34Isn't that the baker from Sweet Escape Bakery?
01:09:37Not going to her shop, ever.
01:09:44Wait!
01:09:47Wait!
01:09:50This will prove the recipe is Everly's.
01:09:58Now you can prove it.
01:10:01Now you're going to want to let it cool for about 10 minutes.
01:10:05Hey, back on me.
01:10:06This is the important part.
01:10:08The last step is to lightly dust with a layer of orange zest,
01:10:12just enough to reach the edges.
01:10:19And then you're going to want to add a pinch of salt.
01:10:23And voila!
01:10:25You'll see the time stamp of this raw footage
01:10:28was taken two weeks ago.
01:10:30And speaking from experience,
01:10:32no one can make this cake exactly like my wife.
01:10:43Something's different.
01:10:45Taste for yourself.
01:10:53Salt.
01:10:54It's missing the salt.
01:10:55I didn't include it in my recipe.
01:10:57Salt, I didn't include it in my recipe notes.
01:10:59It was a last-minute, spur-of-the-moment addition.
01:11:01Totally spontaneous.
01:11:03And yet, it made all the difference in the world.
01:11:06Salt?
01:11:09Salt?
01:11:10Salt?
01:11:26Salt or not, this is no ordinary cake.
01:11:30And it could only come from the heart and soul of an extraordinary baker.
01:11:41You almost ruined my wife today!
01:11:44This is your last straw!
01:11:45Confess, or I'm calling the police!
01:11:47But I didn't.
01:11:49Okay, okay!
01:11:53I did it.
01:11:55I did it.
01:11:57All of it.
01:11:58Are you happy now?
01:12:00Dragging me in the mud like this in front of everyone?
01:12:02Julian, you broke my heart!
01:12:04You have to have a heart for it to be broken.
01:12:07How can you say that?
01:12:10I loved you more than anything.
01:12:12And then this bitch gets into the picture and suddenly I'm nothing?
01:12:16Just some garbage you can throw away?
01:12:19What is so special about her, Julian?
01:12:21She's not prettier than me.
01:12:23She can't be better in bed than me.
01:12:25What do you possibly see in her that you don't see in me?
01:12:28Maybe I'm just a better baker than you, Kendra.
01:12:33Here.
01:12:35Have a taste.
01:12:36I don't want your stupid salt!
01:12:39Oh my god!
01:12:41It smells disgusting!
01:12:43It smells like a rotten potato chip!
01:12:46And Bella could have made a better cake than that!
01:12:51I...
01:12:52I don't even know what to say about everything that's going on here.
01:12:56Say I can present my cake.
01:12:59That's all I came here to do, sir.
01:13:01Fair enough.
01:13:02The ingredients in my cake are pretty traditional in terms of regular cake ingredients.
01:13:06I like the rosemary because it tends to cut through the sweetness of traditional cakes
01:13:10while also balancing the orange zest aromatic flavoring that we really look for in a well-balanced cake.
01:13:16I also, um, not listed, I add a little bit of salt on top just to balance everything out
01:13:21and I hope you really like it.
01:13:30We have seen a lot of great bakes this year.
01:13:34But nothing in the history of this competition has ever compared to this year's first prize winner,
01:13:42Everly Harper!
01:13:45This year's first prize winner, Everly Harper!
01:13:52Congratulations, Miss Harper. Truly well deserved.
01:13:56Would you excuse me?
01:13:59Oh, we did it, Samantha, we did it!
01:14:01No, Everly, you did this.
01:14:04Hold on.
01:14:08Listen to this. Orders are flooding in like crazy.
01:14:11No, no, no, no, no. I've got this. Trust me.
01:14:14Now get out of here. Go celebrate with your hubby.
01:14:18Yeah?
01:14:21I am so proud of you, Everly.
01:14:29We got lost. I'm more likely to stick a bitch than suck a dick right now.
01:14:34Good. Then we both want the same thing.
01:14:38Yeah? What's that?
01:14:40Revenge.
01:14:42I've spent the last two weeks learning everything I can about Julian Barlow and Everly Harper's relationship.
01:14:47And I think what I found might interest you.
01:14:50Who the fuck are you?
01:14:52I'm the one who's been following you.
01:14:54And I think what I found might interest you.
01:14:56Who the fuck are you?
01:14:59I'm someone that hates Julian. And I heard you're someone that hates Everly.
01:15:04So I have a plan that'll get us both what we want.
01:15:08I'm listening.
01:15:17Am I doing it right?
01:15:19Those look great.
01:15:20Squeeze your bag a little bit tighter. More icing equals more smiles.
01:15:27Okay, time to switch to croissants.
01:15:29The chocolate filled kind?
01:15:30All different kinds.
01:15:31Can you go in the freezer in the back and get me two blocks of butter? They are left side, middle shelf.
01:15:37Left side, middle shelf, two blocks. Got it.
01:15:51You're coming with me, Bella. I'm your mother, not that whore.
01:15:56Everly!
01:15:57Save your breath, kid.
01:16:00She can't hear you anyway.
01:16:02Everly! Everly!
01:16:04Shut up!
01:16:09Let go!
01:16:20Bella?
01:16:36Bella? Bella? Bella!
01:16:51Everly!
01:16:52Back here!
01:16:57Tits.
01:16:58I'm so sorry.
01:16:59Shh.
01:17:10This is Julian Barlow.
01:17:11I have your daughter. And if I don't get 200 million in cash by sundown, she won't see the sunrise.
01:17:17What did you do with Bella? Who is this?
01:17:19Ten million. Unmarked bills split into two separate duffel bags.
01:17:24Let me talk to Bella. I need to know she's safe.
01:17:27Only after I get the money.
01:17:29Damn you!
01:17:30She's just a little girl.
01:17:31There's an abandoned campsite at the end of Canyon Ridge Road. Put the cash inside the office cabin and come alone.
01:17:38Because I'll be watching.
01:17:40When do I get Bella?
01:17:41Bella!
01:17:48What are we going to do?
01:17:50I'll call my bank. I'll get the money within an hour.
01:17:57Hello? Anybody? Hello?
01:18:01What is she doing here?
01:18:02I need an explanation for this.
01:18:04Mother, now is not the time for this.
01:18:06I had to learn from Kendra that you're not married at all, that you fake everything.
01:18:11What is this? This is for my sake.
01:18:13Combination was Bella's birthday.
01:18:15Very sloppy of you, Julian.
01:18:17How could you lie to your own mother and present this fraud as if she were actually your wife?
01:18:23I knew she was a gold digger, but I didn't know she was a tramp for hire.
01:18:26Silence!
01:18:30This is not important right now. That is just a piece of paper, Mother. I have to find Bella. She's been kidnapped.
01:18:35My grandbaby has been kidnapped? What happened?
01:18:39Bella and I were baking, and someone grabbed me.
01:18:44I blacked out, and when I woke up, she was gone.
01:18:48I have to get the ransom money together now, so if you two could please just...
01:18:51Just what? Stand aside and let you handle it?
01:18:55You brought this tramp into my daughter's home, and because of her, Bella's life is at stake.
01:19:01Ew. It smells.
01:19:03You just let common street trash walk in here?
01:19:05Don't talk about him like that. Bernie is a veteran. He served our country.
01:19:09I'm sorry, Bernie. I don't have the day off for you today.
01:19:13But I have something for you, bad lady.
01:19:16I saw her, and a tall man.
01:19:22Go back and crawl into whatever hole you came out of, you filthy animal.
01:19:26I saw them.
01:19:30They took that little girl.
01:19:31You fucking bitch! What did you do? Where's Bella?
01:19:35He's obviously deranged. Or on drugs. Or both!
01:19:38A tall man. Did he have short, blonde hair? Athletic build?
01:19:47Nolan. She's working with Nolan.
01:19:49Where is she? Where's Bella?
01:19:52I...
01:19:57What the hell? Where's my daughter?
01:20:09Where is she?
01:20:23Daddy?
01:20:29My little escape artist.
01:20:32You can come out now, Munchkin. It's safe.
01:20:35Daddy and Evelyn are here.
01:20:42Hey.
01:20:53This is ridiculous! It's not kidnapping if it's your own child!
01:21:00This is ridiculous! It's not kidnapping if it's your own child!
01:21:06It's over. It's finally over.
01:21:10Isn't me and Mommy gone for good, Daddy?
01:21:13She'll never bother you again, Munchkin.
01:21:15I want you both to know that I'm very ashamed for my part in Kendra's scheme.
01:21:20But you can't continue this fake marriage.
01:21:23You're right, Mother.
01:21:28Beverly Harper.
01:21:29Harper, you're the most loving, brave and talented woman I've ever known.
01:21:34Your beauty is just dessert after a rich meal.
01:21:37My life fills full with you in it.
01:21:40Will you do me the honor of marrying me?
01:21:43And me!
01:21:51Julian Barlow.
01:21:53If I was to create a recipe for the bravest, smartest, most loving man,
01:21:58it would be you.
01:22:01Your wealth is not a dessert, but a mere appetizer.
01:22:05So, yes, I will marry you.
01:22:08And me too.
01:22:13I don't know what all that nonsense about food was,
01:22:16but the rest was lovely.
01:22:19I guess I'll give the girl a chance
01:22:21if she can make my son and grandbaby smile like that.
01:22:25A few years later.
01:22:30Look at this.
01:22:31Do you see that?
01:22:41So pretty.
01:22:47I helped make that.
01:22:48Yes, you did, Bella.
01:22:50Have you guys ever seen such a beautiful family?
01:22:54I'm so happy for you. Thanks, Bestie.
01:22:58Mommy, how about a cake fight?
01:23:02You're a girl after my own heart, Bella.
01:23:06Everybody, cake fight!
01:23:40Couldn't you have gotten me something more practical?
01:23:44This is going to be a bear to bake with.
01:23:48Only my wife would complain about a 15 carat flawless diamond being too big.
01:23:52Sorry.
01:23:56I'm not. God, I love you.
01:24:00Hey, Mr. Barlow.
01:24:04Hey, Miss Barlow.
01:24:08You said I was changing my name.
01:24:12On the topic of change, I've been thinking.
01:24:16Bella needs a playmate.
01:24:20What do you think we give her a sibling?
01:24:24Just one. Foster kid here. I always dreamed of having a big family.
01:24:28Well, how big are we talking?
01:24:38I love you.
01:24:42I love you too.
