00:00:00Bella?
00:00:01Bella?
00:00:02Where did she go?
00:00:03The gardener says Miss 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!
00:00:23Crush!
00:00:24Crush!
00:00:25Crush!
00:00:26Crush!
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.
00:01:04Miss 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.
00:01:17I'm not Everly.
00:01:22Can you see?
00:01:25It's a circus out there.
00:01:30Like a literal freaking circus.
00:01:31Oh my God, there's jugglers, there's clowns, there's even a man on stilts.
00:01:35Can you imagine having a birthday like this when you were just eight years old?
00:01:37Foster kid here.
00:01:38I used to blow out imaginary candles and dream of real cake.
00:01:45This is my favorite part.
00:01:48Somebody's a little too in touch with their inner child.
00:01:53When your mother proposes blind date, I was a little hesitant.
00:01:56I just couldn't believe that any man can live up to the image that she painted.
00:02:02Yes, she's very good at talking me up.
00:02:04In your case,
00:02:06she really didn't do you justice.
00:02:08I'd love to slip away from the crowd and, uh, get to know you better.
00:02:13You're at my eight-year-old's birthday party. I wasn't interested before, but now I want you to leave.
00:02:22Wait for it.
00:02:26Why, hello mother.
00:02:28Julian, Bianca is hysterical and you have embarrassed me.
00:02:32Well, stop setting me up with random women. I'm not getting married again. Once was enough.
00:02:37Kendra and the racecar driver have ended it. Right now, you have sole custody of Bella, but the courts favor the mother, Julian.
00:02:45You and I both know Kendra could show up at any time and demand that Bella live with her just to spite you.
00:02:51I'm not letting that witch anywhere near my daughter.
00:02:54Find yourself a wife and show the world a stable family. Not for your own happiness, then for your child's!
00:03:06Mother might be dramatic, but she's right about Bella needing a mom.
00:03:11Perhaps a fake wife would do.
00:03:15Got vanilla for you.
00:03:18What's your favorite flavor?
00:03:21Chocolate! So, do you want to know what makes everything taste so good?
00:03:26The secret ingredient is...
00:03:31Love.
00:03:37Oh
00:03:42I'm so exhausted. I'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, let me grab you the day holds.
00:03:59Tell Rose and Pete I included the pecan cinnamon rolls just for them.
00:04:06Oh
00:04:14My gosh, you scared me. Where did you come from, sweetheart? Where are your parents? Are you lost?
00:04:23What's your name? I'm Everly.
00:04:27You don't want to tell me, huh?
00:04:30Guess I'll just have to guess.
00:04:32Your name is Olga.
00:04:37Gertrude.
00:04:39Prudence. Hazel. Constant. Phyllis. Henrietta.
00:04:45Bertha. It's Bella!
00:04:49The birthday girl. She must have stowed away in the truck.
00:04:52Bella!
00:04:59You scared me, Bella Barlow.
00:05:03Sorry, Daddy. What were you thinking?
00:05:06I found my mommy!
00:05:10I'm so sorry. She's never done anything like this.
00:05:13I want Everly to be my mommy. Bella Munchkin, please.
00:05:19You know, my daddy has lots of money. All you have to do is marry him and be my mommy.
00:05:25Bella, you don't marry someone for money. You do it because you love them so much and it feels like they're a part of you.
00:05:34Like you can't picture your life without them. I know you're supposed to be my mommy.
00:05:42I'm engaged to someone else.
00:05:46Come on, Bella. We've taken up enough of Miss Harper's time.
00:05:51So, a hot guy and a cute little girl were like, come be my insta-family?
00:05:55The little girl was. The dad was kind of mortified.
00:05:57Bella reminds me of what I was like after the car accident.
00:05:59Kept going up to perfect strangers, looking for my parents.
00:06:01Just couldn't accept that they were gone.
00:06:03Hey, beautiful. I miss you already.
00:06:05I miss you too.
00:06:07I miss you too.
00:06:09I miss you too.
00:06:11I miss you too.
00:06:13I miss you too.
00:06:15I miss you too.
00:06:17I miss you too.
00:06:19When are you back from your business trip?
00:06:21I'm back Monday. We'll see each other then.
00:06:23Are you calling me from the bathroom?
00:06:25Uh, no.
00:06:27The guests next door are just really loud.
00:06:29I gotta go. I love you.
00:06:37Hello, Earth to Everly.
00:06:39What?
00:06:41I was just thinking about what I told the little girl.
00:06:43All the reasons you marry someone.
00:06:45But I've never actually felt any of those things.
00:06:48Well, you better decide sooner rather than later.
00:06:50Well, Nolan and I have been together since high school.
00:06:52Loyalty counts for something.
00:06:54Hmm.
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.
00:07:14I'm bored.
00:07:17I'm sorry, Munchkin, but after yesterday,
00:07:19I'm not letting you out of my sight.
00:07:21Bella was bad.
00:07:23Bella was very bad.
00:07:25But I'll take you to get ice cream if you're very good.
00:07:27I want cupcake.
00:07:29Nice try, kiddo.
00:07:47Hmm.
00:07:51That must be the bride-to-be.
00:07:53Hey, delivery for the lovely bride.
00:07:55Can I just get your signature on this really quick?
00:08:01Oh my gosh.
00:08:03Everly.
00:08:05Well, you haven't changed a bit
00:08:07since high school, huh?
00:08:09Still a pathetic orphan
00:08:11with no money?
00:08:13Or taste?
00:08:16Olivia.
00:08:18This is your engagement party?
00:08:20Who would marry a raging bully like you?
00:08:22Everly.
00:08:24What are you doing here?
00:08:28Nolan, I...
00:08:30I don't understand.
00:08:32Isn't it obvious?
00:08:34You ignorant nobody.
00:08:36Nolan's been cheating on you.
00:08:38With me.
00:08:46Is it true, Nolan?
00:08:48Yeah, I can explain.
00:08:50Is it true?
00:08:52You've been sleeping with Olivia?
00:08:54You saw how she treated me.
00:08:56She made my high school life a living hell.
00:08:58You hate her just as much as I do.
00:09:00Oh.
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?
00:09:10Oh, but you wouldn't know
00:09:12about that, Everly.
00:09:15Being the pity fuck that you are?
00:09:17You set this whole thing up,
00:09:19didn't you, Olivia?
00:09:21Did you think you could date both of us?
00:09:23Marry both of us?
00:09:25No.
00:09:27Nolan, you have to choose.
00:09:29You can be with me and live the good life,
00:09:31or
00:09:33you could be with this dirty orphan
00:09:35who will always be
00:09:37poor, pathetic,
00:09:39white trash her entire life
00:09:41and who will drag you down
00:09:43with her.
00:09:47I'm sorry.
00:09:49I'm sorry, Everly.
00:09:51I just, I can't be poor.
00:09:53I can't.
00:09:55I'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.
00:10:14I don't like her.
00:10:16She's mean.
00:10:18Hello, where did you come from?
00:10:20Is she an evil witch?
00:10:22You little shit.
00:10:24Who the hell let this wretched brat in here?
00:10:26Hey, watch your mouth, Olivia.
00:10:28You can't talk to her like that.
00:10:30I can say whatever the hell
00:10:32I want.
00:10:34And both 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? You could have hurt her.
00:10:46Too bad I missed.
00:10:52Get off me.
00:10:56Choke on it, bitch.
00:11:02I'm gonna destroy you.
00:11:04Good luck with that.
00:11:06You already tried in high school,
00:11:08but I'm stronger now.
00:11:10Keep rolling with my blessing.
00:11:12Do something.
00:11:14Ever flee?
00:11:16Take it off her.
00:11:22Touch my kid and you're dead.
00:11:24Who the hell are you?
00:11:26I'm with her. Since when?
00:11:28That's none of your business.
00:11:32Ooh, hold still.
00:11:34You have some frost in there.
00:11:37Stop, don't.
00:11:39It's Julian Barlow,
00:11:41heir of Barlow Hotels and Resorts.
00:11:43He owns this very hotel.
00:11:45You're lucky I don't sue you both
00:11:47for attempting to assault a minor.
00:11:49I didn't know it was your kid.
00:11:51So if she's a poor girl, hurting her is okay?
00:11:53This party's over. You two are banned for life
00:11:55from every Barlow property in the world.
00:11:59So this is what having someone
00:12:01stand 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.
00:12:13But I thought I'd really want to be with her.
00:12:17You need some rest.
00:12:19Go to the car.
00:12:21I love you, Edwin.
00:12:27Thank you for protecting my daughter.
00:12:29Thank you for saving me
00:12:31from my cheating ex-fiancé.
00:12:33That sounds like a desperate man
00:12:35trying to win you back.
00:12:37Yeah.
00:12:39Not happening.
00:12:45Seems we have a problem, Miss Harper.
00:12:47My daughter's heart
00:12:49is set on you being her mother.
00:12:55You also have a problem with your ex
00:12:57not getting the message.
00:12:59I'm worried about you.
00:13:01What message?
00:13:03I propose a pretend relationship.
00:13:05Like a fake marriage?
00:13:07Exactly. I can protect you
00:13:09from your ex-fiancé, and you can help me
00:13:11protect Bella from herself and my ex
00:13:13if she comes back into town.
00:13:15Is your ex really that bad?
00:13:17Kendra makes your high school nemesis
00:13:19look like a teddy bear.
00:13:21Do we have a deal?
00:13:23What if you want to be with someone for real?
00:13:25I won't.
00:13:27I've sworn I'm not
00:13:29going to get married again.
00:13:37Yes, Mr. Barlow.
00:13:39We have a deal.
00:13:51Tomorrow night is the
00:13:53annual charity gala.
00:13:55Black tie. There we'll introduce you
00:13:57to society.
00:13:59Why don't we start out slow?
00:14:01My mother will know
00:14:03if we don't show up as newlyweds.
00:14:05Didn't you say she lives in Paris?
00:14:07She has spies everywhere.
00:14:09Did you go to the
00:14:11gala with me?
00:14:13I don't know, Julian.
00:14:15I'm more flower than flair.
00:14:19We have a boutique
00:14:21at the hotel.
00:14:23I think the right dress will ease some of your
00:14:25stress.
00:14:27I'm still super uncomfortable
00:14:29with all this. I don't want to
00:14:31embarrass you at the gala.
00:14:33Are you always going to be this touchy about my money?
00:14:35Most women can't
00:14:37wait to spend it.
00:14:39I'm a baker, not a socialite.
00:14:41You've been hanging out with the
00:14:43wrong crowd.
00:14:45Maybe I have.
00:14:49Do you mind?
00:14:51My mother will want a picture of the newlyweds.
00:14:55Okay.
00:15:01One other thing.
00:15:03Don't fall for me.
00:15:07Same goes for you.
00:15:17Boop.
00:15:19Boop.
00:15:21Well, hello, Mother.
00:15:23You're married?
00:15:25Who is this girl?
00:15:27Her name is Everly Harper.
00:15:29She's a sous-chef.
00:15:31She calls herself a baker.
00:15:33Ridiculous.
00:15:37Her parents died when she was six.
00:15:39Since then,
00:15:41she's had no relatives.
00:15:43She became a ward of the state
00:15:45and bounced around foster care,
00:15:47never really having a permanent home.
00:15:49So she's an orphan without social connections.
00:15:51What are her financials?
00:15:53Well, she has some student loan debt
00:15:55and her business is barely making it.
00:15:57Despite that,
00:15:59she's won numerous awards
00:16:01and competitions for her.
00:16:03Oh, my God.
00:16:05She's dirt poor.
00:16:07You've married a gold digger, Julian.
00:16:09Well, to be honest,
00:16:11my 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,
00:16:21Bella chose her to be her mother.
00:16:25Well, I'm just upset that my only son
00:16:27didn't inform me he was married.
00:16:29We'll be in touch.
00:16:35That went exactly as expected.
00:16:37Yay!
00:16:39Everly's gonna be my new mommy!
00:16:41I should start calling you my little spy.
00:16:43When does she move in?
00:16:45Um, I'm not sure.
00:16:47I had that discussion.
00:16:49And she's gonna bake me more magical cookies
00:16:51filled with love.
00:16:53Has she done that before?
00:16:55Well, yes.
00:16:57Soon she'll be here and she'll bake you many things
00:16:59full of love.
00:17:01Whee! Whee!
00:17:07Wait.
00:17:09You fake Mary and Julie and Barlow?
00:17:11I know. It's insane.
00:17:13Oh, my God.
00:17:15Barbie's worth like a hundred billion dollars, 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.
00:17:25Oh, my God.
00:17:27Bestie!
00:17:29You're literally married to one of the richest dudes on the planet.
00:17:31Olivia and her totes are totally gonna 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.
00:17:39We are going.
00:17:41Oh, come on. Please, please, please.
00:17:43Think about it.
00:17:45Whee!
00:17:47Why would someone like him even want a pretend marriage?
00:17:49I mean, he's charming,
00:17:51handsome,
00:17:53brilliant, and a good dad.
00:17:55Like, he could easily find a real wife.
00:17:57Maybe he's just avoiding commitment.
00:17:59You know, classic playboy move.
00:18:01He doesn't strike me as that type.
00:18:03Look at you, playing the little protective wife already.
00:18:05Shut up.
00:18:07So,
00:18:09when does Miss Barlow make her big debut?
00:18:11Tonight, actually.
00:18:13Care to help me find a dress
00:18:15for 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.
00:18:21You can buy an island with this thing.
00:18:23I'm gonna be sick.
00:18:25Oh, my God. I have to find a way to give it back to him.
00:18:27Everly Harper,
00:18:29you will do no such thing.
00:18:31Can you please just be a little selfish for the both of us
00:18:33and live a little?
00:18:35You're right.
00:18:37Let's do this.
00:18:39Yay!
00:18:51Okay, I can't do this.
00:18:53$40,000 for a dress is insane.
00:18:55You could pay an entire village for that price.
00:18:57Yeah, crazy world we live in.
00:18:59Hello, ladies. My name is Pilar.
00:19:01Should we try something on?
00:19:03It appears to be your size,
00:19:05but I just have a seamstress on standby.
00:19:07Can you maybe rent it instead?
00:19:09Rent?
00:19:11That'll be $1,000 a day
00:19:13plus a $4,000 security deposit.
00:19:15Can you afford that?
00:19:19Oh, my goodness.
00:19:21What manual labor job do you do?
00:19:23I'm a baker.
00:19:25Absolutely no rental for you.
00:19:27Those rough worker hands
00:19:29will snag the delicate fabric.
00:19:31There's a thrift store down the way
00:19:33that might be more at your speed.
00:19:35You don't understand.
00:19:37I'm attending the annual Celestial Charity Gala tonight.
00:19:39It's strictly black tie.
00:19:41Then what are you doing at Celestial,
00:19:43the most exclusive event in town?
00:19:45I know.
00:19:47You must be a waitress handing out caravans.
00:19:49Just buy it, then.
00:19:53This is a black heart.
00:19:55Obviously.
00:19:57Held up at boutique.
00:19:59Not 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
00:20:09my best friend's husband.
00:20:11As if.
00:20:13You must have stolen it.
00:20:15Security, arrest these scammers
00:20:17for identity theft and fraud.
00:20:19Get your hands off of her,
00:20:21you animal.
00:20:23Let us...
00:20:27We're not...
00:20:29We're not thieves.
00:20:31You're making a mistake.
00:20:33The card was given to me. We're innocent.
00:20:39Get this trash out of my face.
00:20:43Let them go.
00:20:51Mr. Barlow, you're right on time.
00:20:53Okay, I just caught these scammers
00:20:55trying to charge $5,000 to your card.
00:20:57$5,000?
00:20:59When have you ever sold a dress under $30,000?
00:21:01That was me.
00:21:03I was trying to rent it and said,
00:21:05no dress is worth that much.
00:21:07Are you kidding me?
00:21:09Don't fall for this innocent act.
00:21:11She's a clever scammer.
00:21:13Did you see anything you like?
00:21:15This one.
00:21:17But we were told to shop at the thrift shop.
00:21:19I'm Samantha, by the way.
00:21:21I've heard so much about you.
00:21:23Pleasure to meet you, Samantha.
00:21:25I'm Samantha, entirely through your boutique.
00:21:27Unfortunately,
00:21:29you cut up our card.
00:21:33So she...
00:21:35She really is your...
00:21:37wife?
00:21:39At Barlow, we believe in treating everyone
00:21:41with respect and dignity.
00:21:43Isn't your lease up in 30 days?
00:21:47Mr. 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.
00:21:57And Barlow won't
00:21:59renew 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.
00:22:23I realize right now,
00:22:25this is the first time
00:22:27I'm seeing the real Evelyn.
00:22:29You've been hiding in plain sight.
00:22:31You're lying. George, look over here.
00:22:33Surplus loan for the night?
00:22:35What's her name, man?
00:22:37I got you.
00:22:39What's her name?
00:22:53I feel like
00:22:55I don't fit in here.
00:22:57You don't fit in, Evelyn.
00:22:59You stand out.
00:23:01Don't be so obvious, Everly.
00:23:03You can't let yourself fall for him.
00:23:05It's true, everyone here is rich.
00:23:07But they're all human.
00:23:09Flaws and all.
00:23:11That's Chase and Daisy Harrington.
00:23:13They're in banking.
00:23:15I don't think you mean they work at the Teller Window.
00:23:17Chase can often be found at the dog track.
00:23:19And Daisy's a lush.
00:23:21She's probably spiked her wine
00:23:23with vodka already.
00:23:25Julian, that's awful.
00:23:27And that's Lily Blake Dubois
00:23:29and her second husband.
00:23:31He's 25 years her junior.
00:23:33Men date women who are younger than them all the time.
00:23:35She was the PTA president
00:23:37and he was in 9th grade
00:23:39with her son when they met,
00:23:41when they started their affair.
00:23:43Oh my God. I get it.
00:23:45I am no longer intimidated by anyone in here.
00:23:47Mission accomplished.
00:23:49Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:23:53Mind if I join you, lovebirds?
00:23:57I'm too old for surprises, mother.
00:23:59You flew from Paris for nothing.
00:24:01Nothing?
00:24:03You're making a fool of yourself
00:24:05with this gold digger.
00:24:07Miss Barlow, let's get two things straight.
00:24:09One,
00:24:11my name is Everly Harper.
00:24:13And two, I am not a gold digger.
00:24:15I've earned my keep
00:24:17since I was six years old
00:24:19and I started my business from scratch.
00:24:21I don't need your money,
00:24:23but 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.
00:24:31Meddling mother.
00:24:35Aren't you going to say anything?
00:24:37Meddling mother?
00:24:39I couldn't have put it better myself.
00:24:43I don't know what you did to trick my son into marriage,
00:24:45but I have my eye on you, Everly Harper.
00:24:47One false move
00:24:49and you are through.
00:24:51All right, that's enough.
00:24:53Enjoy your evening alone,
00:24:55mother.
00:25:05Everly, I want to apologize.
00:25:09My mother was out of line.
00:25:11She didn't expect it either.
00:25:13We need to go back down.
00:25:15We need to make sure she doesn't start digging
00:25:17into the details of our marriage.
00:25:19So, what's our next steps?
00:25:21I 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.
00:25:37It's just all moving a little too fast.
00:25:39I mean, one minute Julian's asking me
00:25:41to move in with him and the next,
00:25:43movers are packing my stuff.
00:25:45But you gotta love a man that takes action, you know?
00:25:47You are oddly chipper about all this.
00:25:49I 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?
00:25:59Since 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...
00:26:11Insane!
00:26:13Everly, billionaires don't think like normal people, sweetie.
00:26:15This is your life now.
00:26:17You need to get used to it, okay?
00:26:23Are we going to have gazpacho
00:26:25for dinner?
00:26:27If it pleases Miss Bella to have gazpacho.
00:26:29Hello!
00:26:31What can I get you today?
00:26:35You'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. You focus on work.
00:26:52Bella and I will be just fine.
00:26:54I'll take her to the bakery with me. She'll have a blast.
00:26:56Here's a detailed list of her routines.
00:26:58Do's and don'ts.
00:27:00Allergies.
00:27:02Emergency contact information.
00:27:04All the information you'll ever need.
00:27:06Love soccer. Allergic to strawberries.
00:27:08This doctor's number. I'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.
00:27:16Bella means the world to me.
00:27:28Daddy, why are you staring
00:27:30at Emily like that?
00:27:32You like her.
00:27:34Sorry, she doesn't know what she's talking about.
00:27:36Well, sometimes kids have a way of knowing the truth.
00:27:38They also have a way of being annoying.
00:27:40Well, anyways,
00:27:42me and Bun Bun wanted to play airplane.
00:27:44All right, Munchkin,
00:27:46you have one minute.
00:27:48Yippee!
00:27:50Ready?
00:27:52Yeah!
00:27:56So this is what a happy family looks like.
00:27:58Looks so nice.
00:28:00I wonder if we could be a real family someday.
00:28:02Just the three of us.
00:28:06Okay, chef,
00:28:08what's on the menu today?
00:28:10Um, chocolate cupcakes
00:28:12and chocolate donuts
00:28:14and chocolate cake.
00:28:16Ooh, 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!
00:28:26Ooh!
00:28:28Ta-da!
00:28:30What do you think, chef?
00:28:32Mmm.
00:28:34Mmm.
00:28:36I can taste the love.
00:28:38What?
00:28:40The magic ingredient. I can taste it.
00:28:42That's good.
00:28:44Mmm.
00:28:46Evelyn?
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?
00:28:56Bella,
00:28:58I don't know what the future holds,
00:29:00but I know
00:29:02you have a very special place in my heart, okay?
00:29:04Okay.
00:29:08Whoa.
00:29:10That was fast.
00:29:12Okay.
00:29:14Time for rest.
00:29:18Daddy!
00:29:26Oh, my God.
00:29:28I'm falling for him.
00:29:30Daddy!
00:29:32Did you miss me, Munchkin?
00:29:34So much, but Everly's the best.
00:29:36I got to be a chef.
00:29:38And we had a movie marathon,
00:29:40and I got to sleep in sheep tents
00:29:42in the living room,
00:29:44and we ate in the kitchen
00:29:46with Mrs. Delaney, who was all frowny,
00:29:48but then she was all smiley.
00:29:50I like the kitchen better than the dining room.
00:29:52Can we eat there from now on?
00:29:54I see you've made some changes.
00:29:56Very minor ones.
00:29:58Oops, did I say something bad?
00:30:00No, Munchkin. Daddy's just learning
00:30:02his little set-in-his-ways.
00:30:04You can do everything, Dad, but you're a bad cook,
00:30:06and Everly's way better at girl stuff.
00:30:08You're like the prince,
00:30:10and Everly's the princess, and we can all live
00:30:12happily ever after.
00:30:14With fun, of course.
00:30:20Kids and their fairy tales.
00:30:22She'll understand that we can't be more
00:30:24than a pretend couple when she's older.
00:30:26Of course. She's still too little.
00:30:28We can't be more than a pretend couple.
00:30:30Right.
00:30:32It felt so real. I let myself forget
00:30:34it was a fake marriage.
00:30:36It can never be anything more.
00:30:44Oh, my God.
00:30:46You have to go.
00:30:48Oh, come on. Olivia and Nolan are gonna gossip
00:30:50about us if you do not show your face tomorrow.
00:30:52They're going to do that regardless.
00:30:54Naomi, I thought about it, and I don't want to go
00:30:56to our high school reunion. Okay, hear me out.
00:30:58Just picture this. You walk in with your new,
00:31:00hot, billionaire husband.
00:31:02It's the perfect revenge for the mean girls that used to call us
00:31:04poor losers. No, I would never use
00:31:06Julian in that way.
00:31:08Well, if the thing is, I already told them
00:31:10that you would be there with them.
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 it kind of just blew up 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
00:31:26as a thank you for helping me
00:31:28with Bella. Did he really mean that?
00:31:30His wife?
00:31:32You should take the day off tomorrow
00:31:34and go pamper yourself. I'll make the
00:31:36arrangements with the hotel spa.
00:31:38On one condition. Can you make the
00:31:40reservation for two?
00:31:42I can do that.
00:31:44I want to get my nails done, too.
00:31:46What color do you want to get, Bella?
00:31:48The exact same as you.
00:31:50I also want to get some for Bun Bun.
00:31:52He looks great with those.
00:31:54You're so adorable.
00:31:56How could any mother abandon you?
00:31:58I wish you were really mine.
00:32:04Oh, my.
00:32:06You missed a bottle.
00:32:08It's okay.
00:32:10It's okay.
00:32:12Oh, my.
00:32:14Mr. Barlow said that you might need some help
00:32:16getting into it.
00:32:18I can't wear that, Miss Delaney.
00:32:20It's too beautiful and definitely
00:32:22way too expensive. Nonsense, dear.
00:32:24Mr. Barlow said
00:32:26to tell you you're the only one
00:32:28that can do it justice.
00:32:32Now let's see it on you.
00:32:34Oh.
00:32:40I want to thank you
00:32:42for the dress.
00:32:44I'll find a way to pay you back.
00:32:46Seeing you in it is payment enough.
00:32:48You are drop-dead gorgeous, Everly.
00:32:50It's not me.
00:32:52It's the dress.
00:32:54Why do you do that?
00:32:56Why do you downplay your beauty?
00:32:58I don't like to draw attention to myself.
00:33:00You shouldn't have to dim your light
00:33:02to make others feel good about themselves.
00:33:16Mr. Barlow,
00:33:18sir, there is a visitor here
00:33:20demanding to speak with you.
00:33:22I'm not expecting anyone.
00:33:24It's your ex-wife.
00:33:26It's your ex-wife.
00:33:34I put Miss Rossi in the guest room.
00:33:36Where's Bella?
00:33:38She's with Miss Delaney in the playroom.
00:33:40Good. We need to keep Bella away from Kendra.
00:33:42I have to deal with her.
00:33:44I'll join you at the reunion when I'm done.
00:33:46I can just not go.
00:33:48No. Kendra is not going to disrupt our plans.
00:33:50My driver will take you there.
00:33:52I promise.
00:33:54It's been so long, Julian.
00:33:56Not long enough. What do you want?
00:33:58I want my daughter.
00:34:00I want Bella.
00:34:08I heard Everly
00:34:10is coming to the reunion.
00:34:12I thought that she would never
00:34:14show her face here ever again.
00:34:16Everly? The foster kid weirdo?
00:34:18Yeah, well, she's not a weirdo.
00:34:20She's a weirdo.
00:34:22The foster kid weirdo?
00:34:24Yeah, well, she destroyed my engagement party,
00:34:26so I'm going to destroy her tonight.
00:34:28Didn't Amanda say she's married to Julian Barlow?
00:34:30What if he's going to come with her?
00:34:32He might fuck her,
00:34:34but a Barlow is not going to marry
00:34:36trash like her.
00:34:52She should be mine.
00:35:00Eyes on me, Nolan.
00:35:02They really did recreate Senior Prom.
00:35:04Yep, all the ways
00:35:06with the tacky decorations and the cheesy DJ.
00:35:08Last time I was here, I was with Nolan.
00:35:10My foster mom at the time
00:35:12helped make my dress, and it looked...
00:35:14We didn't even get our first dance before Olivia
00:35:16told everyone I had an STD.
00:35:18That's right, and then Nolan
00:35:20couldn't take it and he bailed.
00:35:22We should have known then that he was a dick.
00:35:24Yeah, I forgave him. No one could stand up for Olivia.
00:35:26Myself included at that time.
00:35:28Let's slay this bitch.
00:35:30I mean the dance, of course.
00:35:32That dress
00:35:34looks like it cost a fortune.
00:35:36What do you think, Olivia?
00:35:38You're a fashion expert.
00:35:40It can't be the Nightingale of Hanoi.
00:35:42That dress is worth
00:35:44millions.
00:35:46It's just a cheap knockoff.
00:35:48Come on, girls.
00:35:50Let's give Everly a high school reunion she'll never forget.
00:35:54Let's give Everly a high school reunion
00:35:56she'll never forget.
00:35:58Hey!
00:36:00Where's your husband?
00:36:02Julian's on his way. Shut up, loser. No one's talking to you.
00:36:04Bitch. Give it up, Everly.
00:36:06We all know he got bored and dumped you.
00:36:12Like, okay.
00:36:14Did you just fucking shrug at me?
00:36:16Apparently,
00:36:18you've forgotten your place.
00:36:20Must be that dress giving you attitude,
00:36:22but 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.
00:36:32Your husband. Your dress.
00:36:34I call bullshit.
00:36:36Grow up, Olivia.
00:36:38You're too old to still be a mean girl.
00:36:46Ugh!
00:36:48Hey, 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
00:36:56doesn't make you royalty.
00:36:58Take that fake dress off,
00:37:00or I'll take it off for you.
00:37:02What makes you think it's fake?
00:37:04You clueless bitch.
00:37:06I'm a fashion influencer.
00:37:08With 1.8 million followers,
00:37:10you expect me to believe
00:37:12that white trash like you
00:37:14are wearing the Nightingale of Hanoi gown
00:37:16valued at $10 million?
00:37:20That's why Julian grinned
00:37:22when I said I'd pay him back for the dress.
00:37:24Take it off.
00:37:30Hey!
00:37:32No! Get off of her!
00:37:36Let go!
00:37:38No!
00:37:40No!
00:37:42No!
00:37:44No!
00:37:46Stop!
00:37:48Get away from my wife!
00:37:54Get away from my wife!
00:38:06I'm sorry I'm late.
00:38:08The dress is ruined.
00:38:10Please tell me
00:38:12it wasn't worth millions of dollars.
00:38:14I can't tell you that.
00:38:16Apologize to my wife, now!
00:38:18We were just joking.
00:38:20You know, fooling around.
00:38:22My wife was on the ground, soaking wet.
00:38:24Dress torn.
00:38:26What you did was battery and harassment.
00:38:28My lawyer's not gonna think that's funny.
00:38:30I sure as hell don't.
00:38:32Lawyers? Who the hell are you?
00:38:34That's Julian Barlow.
00:38:36He's one of the richest men in the world.
00:38:38Do you know how much this dress is worth?
00:38:40Every bead is a genuine,
00:38:42flawless diamond.
00:38:44Miss St. James, you just ruined a $10 million gown.
00:38:46Oh, shit.
00:38:48No.
00:38:50No, no.
00:38:52No, that can't be.
00:38:54You better start liquidating all your assets,
00:38:56including your parents' house,
00:38:58because the insurance company is coming for your ass.
00:39:00Then the police.
00:39:02Good luck finding a job in fashion
00:39:04after ruining one of the most famous dresses in the world.
00:39:06That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:39:10That's all your endorsements leaving you.
00:39:12You did this.
00:39:14You set me up.
00:39:16You did it to yourself.
00:39:18Nolan, do something.
00:39:20I left the woman I love
00:39:22because you said we'd be rich, and now you have nothing.
00:39:24You piece of shit.
00:39:26Nope.
00:39:30Don't do this.
00:39:32Please don't do this.
00:39:34You're not the one you need to beg for forgiveness.
00:39:42I'm sorry, Everly.
00:39:44I never should have tormented you
00:39:46all 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?
00:39:58Because 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
00:40:12because I was pretty and didn't
00:40:14shove it in people's faces?
00:40:16That is so messed up.
00:40:18Well, I was right to hate you.
00:40:20Look at you.
00:40:22You bagged a billionaire
00:40:24without even trying.
00:40:26Everly is beautiful inside and out.
00:40:28That's what draws people to her.
00:40:30You're done here.
00:40:32I'm not going to push any criminal charges,
00:40:34but the insurance company will be reaching out.
00:40:36You're on the hook for that dress.
00:40:38Oh, my God, I never thought that I'd see this
00:40:40in a lifetime.
00:40:42Please pinch me and tell me that I'm not dreaming.
00:40:44If you are, so am I.
00:40:46You want to get out of here?
00:40:48Yes, please.
00:41:00Bitches.
00:41:02Who knew that high school reunions
00:41:04would be this fun?
00:41:10Thank you for what you did.
00:41:12Never has anyone
00:41:14come to my rescue before.
00:41:16I enjoyed doing it.
00:41:18You matter to me, Everly.
00:41:20Me and Belen.
00:41:22Hey.
00:41:24I understand.
00:41:26Thank you again.
00:41:28Have a good night, Julian.
00:41:30Everly, wait.
00:41:32That came out wrong.
00:41:34What I meant was
00:41:36I have feelings for you.
00:41:38But I don't want to lead you on.
00:41:40Kendra's betrayal of our marriage,
00:41:42it broke something inside of me
00:41:44and I don't think
00:41:46I can commit to
00:41:48another woman.
00:41:50I just want to be with you.
00:41:52I'm not asking for anything else.
00:41:54You're so amazing, Julian,
00:41:56and I like everything about you.
00:41:58You just...
00:42:18Tara, is that you?
00:42:20I heard a noise.
00:42:22Yes, Mr. Gibson.
00:42:24You can go to bed.
00:42:26Yes, sir. Good night, sir.
00:42:28Ma'am.
00:42:30That was embarrassing.
00:42:32I haven't got caught like that since I was a little school boy.
00:42:34You think he saw us?
00:42:36He probably did, but he's not gonna say anything.
00:42:38I want nothing more
00:42:40than to take you upstairs right now.
00:42:42Me too.
00:42:44You're so honest, Everly.
00:42:46It's one of the many things I admire about you.
00:42:48And although it's gonna kill me,
00:42:50I want you to go to bed.
00:42:52You're too noble.
00:42:54No one's ever said that to me before.
00:42:58Good 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?
00:43:20This is nice.
00:43:22Just holding your hand.
00:43:26What are we gonna tell Bella?
00:43:28I don't wanna 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
00:43:38at the expense of yourself?
00:43:40That's why I was bullied so much growing up
00:43:42and why people take advantage of me.
00:43:44Don't say that.
00:43:46You're the best person I know, Everly.
00:43:48Trust me, and I promise
00:43:50I won't let anyone hurt you anymore.
00:44:00So you think you can replace me with this whore, Julian?
00:44:02Let's see how that works out
00:44:04when I get through with the both of you.
00:44:12So, this is your latest slut.
00:44:14Kendra, are you following me?
00:44:16I'm his mother.
00:44:18I need to know what her father is doing
00:44:20and who is doing.
00:44:22So you fuck the help now, Julian?
00:44:24Who I'm with is none of your business.
00:44:26You gave that right up three years ago
00:44:28when you cheated on me with my best friend.
00:44:30Then you abandoned your daughter
00:44:32and went to Europe with some tennis pro at a club.
00:44:34That was ages ago.
00:44:36I've changed now.
00:44:38I'm ready to be a wife and mother
00:44:40and you can't let this homewrecker
00:44:42get in the way of what we can have.
00:44:44And 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.
00:44:56I can't lose my daughter, old woman.
00:44:58You won't. We'll fight it together.
00:45:10Hello, sir.
00:45:12I can't pay 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
00:45:30if you're not a paying customer.
00:45:32Then I'll pay now.
00:45:38I guess just bought the entire store.
00:45:40I need help
00:45:42from my favorite cake baker.
00:45:44Bella's Elementary School is hosting a bake sale
00:45:46and every family brings a homemade dessert
00:45:48and they all compete for first place.
00:45:52Would you want to go with us?
00:45:54You want me to be a part of your family?
00:45:56In front of your neighbors?
00:45:58Of course.
00:46:00No.
00:46:08No, you have to stir in the same direction
00:46:10clockwise 30 times.
00:46:12Wow.
00:46:14I 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.
00:46:22Okay.
00:46:30You are the worst student.
00:46:32I'm sorry I can't concentrate
00:46:34because my teacher's so hot.
00:46:36Oh.
00:46:54I'm gonna get you.
00:46:56Come here.
00:47:06Hey.
00:47:14Hey, Bella.
00:47:16Remember me?
00:47:18No.
00:47:20I'm your mother.
00:47:22No, you're not. Ever since my mom.
00:47:24I chose her.
00:47:26You little brat. You can't choose your mother.
00:47:28You're born with one and that's what you get.
00:47:30That's enough, Kendra.
00:47:32You're upsetting Bella and causing a scene.
00:47:34Move aside. I'm going to win this bake sale
00:47:36and prove who the real mother is.
00:47:40Those are store-bought cookies.
00:47:42What is she thinking?
00:47:44No, she made those.
00:47:46Her family owns Rossi Cookies.
00:47:48They were franchised. They have stores in every country.
00:47:50You 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.
00:47:56She uses the recipes.
00:47:58There's not one creative bone in her body.
00:48:04Oh, my God.
00:48:06That's amazing.
00:48:08I want to buy all of it.
00:48:10Who made this?
00:48:12Julian Barlow?
00:48:14I had no idea he was
00:48:16such a talented baker.
00:48:20Here. Try mine.
00:48:22Not to brag, but the Rossi name
00:48:24is renowned in the world of desserts.
00:48:26Not bad,
00:48:28but nowhere near the Barlow's.
00:48:30I'm telling you all to taste it.
00:48:32I think we know
00:48:34who the winner is.
00:48:38Yay!
00:48:42You wanna see magic?
00:48:44I'm gonna make that bitch disappear.
00:48:46Abra-fucking-cadabra.
00:48:54Can't forget that.
00:48:56Top of Bella's grocery list.
00:48:58She would never forgive me.
00:49:00Aren't we the perfect little housewife?
00:49:02That is,
00:49:04until Bella is rushed to the hospital.
00:49:06Oops.
00:49:10Early!
00:49:12Hi!
00:49:14So lucky to run into you here.
00:49:16Oh. Oh, so.
00:49:18I owe you an apology for how weird
00:49:20I was to you earlier.
00:49:22In my defense, you'd have to be a mother
00:49:24to understand how it feels to see another woman
00:49:26raising 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.
00:49:34Watch your back.
00:49:36There's a long line of women
00:49:38waiting to get their claws into Julian.
00:49:40Beautiful, sexy,
00:49:42sophisticated women
00:49:44who are suited to his lifestyle
00:49:46because he has every want and desire.
00:49:50Is there some kind of threat?
00:49:52No.
00:49:54Just a cold, hard fact that
00:49:56you, Everly Harper,
00:49:58will never be more than a glorified babysitter
00:50:00to him.
00:50:02It's funny,
00:50:04because you'll never be more than a bitter memory to him.
00:50:08Now stop messing with our family.
00:50:10Next time,
00:50:12I won't be so nice.
00:50:16Next time,
00:50:18you'll be the psycho who drugged Julian's daughter.
00:50:26Can I ask you a question?
00:50:30Why did you choose me?
00:50:32Ooh.
00:50:34Where's this coming from?
00:50:36I mean, once Bella grows up
00:50:38and doesn't need a mom anymore,
00:50:40will you still want to be with me?
00:50:42Everly, sweetheart,
00:50:44this doesn't sound like you.
00:50:46It's just, I'm not like
00:50:48the society women you've dated in the past.
00:50:50What if you get bored with me?
00:50:56Imagine dating someone
00:50:58who barely eats because they're watching their figure
00:51:00and spends more time with their plastic surgeons
00:51:02and with their family.
00:51:04You mean these society women?
00:51:08You're so bad.
00:51:10I'm sorry.
00:51:12I let Kendra get in my head.
00:51:14When'd you see Kendra?
00:51:18It's Bella's school.
00:51:20This is Julian Barlow.
00:51:23Emergency room.
00:51:25Uh-huh.
00:51:27I understand. I'm on my way.
00:51:29What's going on? Is Bella okay?
00:51:31The school nurse said that she was poisoned.
00:51:33Something she ate. Something about a lollipop.
00:51:43Bella is asleep.
00:51:45Fortunately, the lab results
00:51:47just showed that it was a common prescribed sedative
00:51:49that was on the lollipop.
00:51:51How does this happen? I don't understand.
00:51:53I have to ask,
00:51:55have you had any threats recently
00:51:57or encountered any suspicious characters?
00:52:01I came as soon as I heard.
00:52:03How is our precious Bella?
00:52:05She's coming along.
00:52:07Poison? My God.
00:52:09What 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
00:52:19and my daughter
00:52:21with a lollipop.
00:52:23Well, that's interesting
00:52:25because I ran into Everly
00:52:27at the bakery yesterday
00:52:29and I saw one of Bella's favorite
00:52:31rainbow-colored lollipops.
00:52:33Are you suggesting that I had something
00:52:35to do with this?
00:52:37You 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,
00:52:51drugged by yet another baby.
00:52:53I did no such thing. I would never...
00:52:55Wait, hold on. Bella's been poisoned before?
00:52:57Is this true, Julian?
00:52:59When she was 18 months old,
00:53:01I had a babysitter and I hadn't been able
00:53:03to trust anyone since then.
00:53:05Just you.
00:53:07But now I...
00:53:09Now what?
00:53:11I'll tell you what. You're not coming near Bella
00:53:13ever 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
00:53:27security or shall I?
00:53:31Julian, will you be calling security or shall I?
00:53:37Everly, I'm sorry.
00:53:39I'm sorry for ever doubting you,
00:53:41even for a second.
00:53:43I would never harm Bella.
00:53:45Not because you're my wife, but because
00:53:47of your loving heart.
00:53:49Julian, 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?
00:54:03How did you know it was a rainbow lollipop?
00:54:05No one mentioned
00:54:07what color it was.
00:54:09No, you switched them
00:54:11at the bakery parking lot.
00:54:13That'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.
00:54:21It's your prescription medicine can.
00:54:23Julian, stop! That's not mine!
00:54:25She's been taking Sada since I met her.
00:54:27That's exactly
00:54:29what was found in Bella's system.
00:54:31It's...
00:54:33You psychotic bitch! First you tried to kill my daughter,
00:54:35now you're trying to frame my wife?
00:54:37It's common. It could be found from anywhere.
00:54:39It could have been anyone.
00:54:41It could have been you.
00:54:43It was you, wasn't it?
00:54:45I'm telling you, it wasn't mine!
00:54:49Bella's waking up.
00:54:55Thank God she's okay.
00:54:57The thought of
00:54:59losing her was too much to bear.
00:55:01We don't have to think about that.
00:55:03She has you.
00:55:05I have you.
00:55:07And we all have each other.
00:55:09Whatever comes our way.
00:55:11That's what family's for.
00:55:15That's what it means to love.
00:55:17And be loved.
00:55:19Exactly.
00:55:21Stop it.
00:55:23We're in the children's ward.
00:55:25I'm pretty sure all these doctors and nurses
00:55:27know how babies are born.
00:55:33Mommy? Daddy?
00:55:35Brain check?
00:55:37Oh, you can count on it.
00:55:39Is that my little munchkin in there
00:55:41making noise?
00:55:45Welcome in.
00:55:47What gang is that?
00:55:49No.
00:55:51What, is there a rule against selling a cake to your ex?
00:55:53Come on, Olivia.
00:55:55Look, Everly, I'm sorry.
00:55:57I made a big mistake. I'll admit that.
00:55:59But I've changed. I left
00:56:01Olivia, and I just want to start fresh.
00:56:03I don't want to do this again.
00:56:05Are you serious?
00:56:07Yes, it was all Olivia's doing. You know how manipulative she can be.
00:56:09And I only loved you
00:56:11the entire time.
00:56:13You think Julian's a multi-billionaire?
00:56:15You think he'd really go for someone like you?
00:56:17I mean, get real, Everly.
00:56:19If he doesn't love you, I do.
00:56:21We probably died without you.
00:56:27Get the hell
00:56:29out of my bakery.
00:56:31You bitch.
00:56:33No one's gonna come to save you.
00:56:37Stay away from my wife.
00:56:39Last warning. Stay away from her
00:56:41or I'll break more than just your arm.
00:56:43Motherfucker. If I can't have her,
00:56:45no 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.
00:56:57Nolan.
00:56:59It's gonna be a problem.
00:57:01I can't exactly lock my doors.
00:57:03Don't work by yourself anymore.
00:57:05Make sure Samantha's with you.
00:57:11Someone for the munchkins.
00:57:13Thanks.
00:57:17I have to pick her up right now.
00:57:19We'll see you later?
00:57:21Stay alert.
00:57:29Okay.
00:57:37And the hits
00:57:39keep coming.
00:57:41First my ex, now his.
00:57:43When will we ever catch a break?
00:57:55We have to keep that from Bella.
00:57:57I'm gonna get my lawyer to file a restraining order
00:57:59against Kendra this week.
00:58:01Maybe there's a way we can make peace with Bella's mom.
00:58:03We've tried.
00:58:05She's turned every attempt against us,
00:58:07including Bella.
00:58:09I can't risk
00:58:11losing 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.
00:58:27I know.
00:58:45What if Bella wakes up?
00:58:47She hung her head years ago.
00:58:49I just kept it.
00:58:51I know.
00:58:57I love you.
00:59:27What are your thoughts
00:59:29on a family date?
00:59:31The three of us.
00:59:33You wanna go on a picnic?
00:59:35I'll go wherever
00:59:37you'll take me.
00:59:41So where did you get Bungman?
00:59:43When I was three years old.
00:59:45Yep, we were outside
00:59:47and she saw a rabbit run across the yard
00:59:49and she was like,
00:59:51what's that?
00:59:53And I was like,
00:59:55and she saw a rabbit run across the yard
00:59:57and she looked at me and reached her hands out
00:59:59and I said, no, I can't have a wild animal.
01:00:01So she started crying.
01:00:03So naturally, I got her Bungman the next day.
01:00:05Naturally.
01:00:13Bella!
01:00:15My baby. Come to mom.
01:00:17What are you doing here? You look like a stalker.
01:00:19I'm still your mother.
01:00:21And I brought your favorite food.
01:00:23Strawberries.
01:00:25Everly loves me more than you.
01:00:27And I love her too.
01:00:29And I can't eat strawberries.
01:00:31Darling.
01:00:33That woman is
01:00:35just after daddy's money.
01:00:37You're lying. I hate you.
01:00:39You can't talk to me like that.
01:00:41I'm your mother.
01:00:43No, you're not. Everly is my mommy.
01:00:45You're scary.
01:00:47You little brat.
01:00:49Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:00:51Mommy, daddy!
01:00:55Someone needs to teach you some manners.
01:00:57Mommy, daddy!
01:00:59Kendra, what the hell?
01:01:01I'm trying to protect my daughter
01:01:03from this fucking bitch.
01:01:05Hey, 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?
01:01:13You never let me see that bitch.
01:01:15That's a lie. You abandoned her.
01:01:17Shut up, you lying gold digger.
01:01:19Never be.
01:01:21Bella!
01:01:23Come back, sweetie.
01:01:25She'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.
01:01:33One step up from the gutter.
01:01:35Bella and I both know that
01:01:37Everly is the best thing to happen to this family.
01:01:41Bella, sweetie.
01:01:43You can't possibly think that this poor
01:01:45substitute is better than a real mother.
01:01:47We have the same blood.
01:01:49You're part Rossi.
01:01:51You can't ask your daughter that.
01:01:53Shut up!
01:01:55Kendra, this isn't some game that you can win.
01:01:57This is Bella and Julian's lives.
01:01:59I don't know why, but you abandoned them.
01:02:01You trying to snatch them back
01:02:03just so you can win won't make you happy.
01:02:05You have to move on.
01:02:07You have to move on.
01:02:13I know I don't deserve her.
01:02:15I found out last month that
01:02:17I'm infertile.
01:02:19I can never have another baby.
01:02:21Bella's it for me.
01:02:33I know she's done
01:02:35some bad things.
01:02:37But she's still your mother, Bella.
01:02:39Why don't you go give her a hug?
01:02:41I don't really hate you.
01:02:43I know, baby.
01:02:47It's all my fault.
01:02:53You're right.
01:02:55I only wanted to win.
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.
01:03:21Bye, sweetie.
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!
01:03:41What's all this for?
01:03:45100th Annual International Bake-Off.
01:03:47Sounds like a big deal.
01:03:49It's invitation only.
01:03:51And I can't believe I got in.
01:03:53If I do well, it'll really help
01:03:55put the bakery on the map.
01:03:57Well, given how you rocked that bake sale,
01:03:59you've got this in the bag.
01:04:01That was nothing.
01:04:03I need a showstopper that's gonna dazzle their taste buds
01:04:05and win over their hearts.
01:04:07Hmm.
01:04:09So what's the secret weapon?
01:04:11Vanilla rosemary
01:04:13five-layer cake topped with a lavender
01:04:15buttercream and a hint of orange zest.
01:04:17Sounds like I need to clear some space
01:04:19on the mantle for that first place trophy.
01:04:21Cut it out!
01:04:23I'm trying to concentrate.
01:04:25Oh. Am I distracting you?
01:04:27I'm a sucker
01:04:29for a messy apron.
01:04:33Okay, fine. You can stay, but you have
01:04:35to make yourself useful.
01:04:37What's first, chef?
01:04:41Ladies and gentlemen,
01:04:43welcome to our 100th Annual International Bake-Off.
01:04:45Please find your seat.
01:04:47Our competition will start shortly.
01:04:55You got this, girl.
01:04:57We'll be on the front row cheering you on, okay?
01:04:59Thanks, Sammy.
01:05:01I'm gonna go check my presentation one more time.
01:05:05Knock them dead out there, sweetheart.
01:05:09Good luck.
01:05:17There you are,
01:05:19falling nicely into my trap.
01:05:21Who do you think arranged the invite,
01:05:23you pathetic nobody?
01:05:25Hey, Everly.
01:05:27Ready to get crushed.
01:05:29Andrea, what are you doing here?
01:05:31Are you stalking me?
01:05:33You look scared.
01:05:35You should be.
01:05:37I'm going to win that trophy
01:05:39and confuse the butter baker and mother.
01:05:41I'm infertile.
01:05:43I can never have another baby.
01:05:45So everything you said at the party
01:05:47was true?
01:05:49Yes.
01:05:51I can never have another baby.
01:05:53So everything you said at the park
01:05:55was a lie? You'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.
01:06:03And you're just an amateur who doesn't deserve to be here.
01:06:07Did you really think you earned a place
01:06:09in this competition?
01:06:11I'm the one who got the judges to invite you
01:06:13and now Julian's going to see what a poor
01:06:15orphan 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
01:06:24any day.
01:06:27Oh yeah?
01:06:29Do you know what goes great with cake?
01:06:31What?
01:06:33Coffee.
01:06:43Kendra, 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.
01:07:10Neverly.
01:07:13Our next competitor,
01:07:15Kendra Rossi.
01:07:19Hi, judge.
01:07:21This is my own
01:07:23one-of-a-kind original
01:07:25recipe.
01:07:27A vanilla
01:07:29rosemary five-layer
01:07:31cake with lavender buttercream
01:07:33and a hint of orange zest.
01:07:35That's my cake!
01:07:39What are you talking about?
01:07:41You stole my recipe.
01:07:43A nobody accusing me,
01:07:45a Rossi, of cheating?
01:07:47How dare you?
01:07:49Man.
01:07:51You 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
01:08:01and stupid.
01:08:03Yeah, obviously. So 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.
01:08:11I know Everly wouldn't want to win that way.
01:08:13Dammit.
01:08:15So what do we do now?
01:08:19Kendra can't get away with this.
01:08:23A nobody accusing me,
01:08:25a Rossi, of cheating?
01:08:27How dare you?
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.
01:08:39So you could hack my
01:08:41laptop behind my back the same way you switched
01:08:43the lollipops behind my back when you poisoned
01:08:45Bella.
01:08:47That is a serious accusation.
01:08:49Now, can you prove
01:08:51that this cake is your creation?
01:08:53Here's your proof.
01:09:01We can't
01:09:03see anything. The screen is blank.
01:09:07What happened to my files?
01:09:09They're not there.
01:09:11As I said, this recipe
01:09:13is mine and mine alone.
01:09:15No, no, no, no. It's not true.
01:09:17Kendra Rossi, you're a thief.
01:09:19I think we've heard enough.
01:09:21Sir, I know this recipe,
01:09:23my recipe by heart. I can recite it from memory.
01:09:25I'm afraid that doesn't
01:09:27prove anything.
01:09:29Now, I think it's best
01:09:31that you leave the stage now
01:09:33before I have to disqualify you.
01:09:35Isn't that the baker
01:09:37from Sweet Escape Bakery?
01:09:39Not going to her shop ever.
01:09:45Wait!
01:09:49Wait!
01:09:51This will prove the recipe
01:09:53is Everly's.
01:10:01Now, you're going to want to let it cool for about
01:10:0310 minutes.
01:10:05Hey, back on me. This is the important part.
01:10:07The last step is to lightly dust
01:10:09with a layer of orange zest,
01:10:11just enough to reach the edges.
01:10:19And then you're going to want to add
01:10:21a pinch of salt.
01:10:23And...
01:10:25voila!
01:10:27You'll see the time stamp of this raw footage
01:10:29was taken two weeks ago.
01:10:31And speaking from experience,
01:10:33no one
01:10:35can make this cake exactly like my wife.
01:10:45Something's different.
01:10:47Taste for yourself.
01:10:55Salt. It's missing the salt.
01:10:57I didn't include it in my recipe notes.
01:10:5910 minutes for the moment addition. Totally spontaneous.
01:11:01And yet,
01:11:03it made all the difference in the world.
01:11:05Salt?
01:11:07Salt?
01:11:25Salt or not,
01:11:27this is no ordinary cake.
01:11:29And it could
01:11:31only come from the heart and soul
01:11:33of an
01:11:35extraordinary baker.
01:11:41You almost ruined my wife
01:11:43today! This 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. Are you happy now?
01:11:59Dragging me in the mud like this
01:12:01in front of everyone?
01:12:03Julian, you broke my heart!
01:12:05You have to have a heart for 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
01:12:13gets into the picture and suddenly I'm nothing?
01:12:15Just some garbage
01:12:17you can throw away?
01:12:19What is so special about her, Julian?
01:12:21She's not prettier than me.
01:12:23You can't be better in bed than me.
01:12:25What do you possibly see in her that you don't see in me?
01:12:27Maybe I'm just a better
01:12:29baker than you, Kendra.
01:12:31Here.
01:12:33Have a taste.
01:12:35I don't want your stupid salt.
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
01:12:54about everything that's going on here.
01:12:56Say I can present my cake.
01:12:58That's all I came here to do, sir.
01:13:00Fair enough.
01:13:02The ingredients in my cake are pretty traditional
01:13:04in terms of regular cake ingredients.
01:13:06I like the rosemary because it tends to cut through
01:13:08the sweetness of traditional cakes
01:13:10while also balancing the orange zest
01:13:12aromatic flavoring that we really look for
01:13:14in a well-balanced cake.
01:13:16I also, um, not listed,
01:13:18I add a little bit of salt on top
01:13:20just to balance everything out, and
01:13:22I hope you really like it.
01:13:30We have seen
01:13:32a lot of great bakes this year.
01:13:34But nothing in the history
01:13:36of this competition has ever
01:13:38compared to this year's
01:13:40first prize winner,
01:13:42Everly Harper.
01:13:44This year's first
01:13:46prize winner, Everly
01:13:48Harper.
01:13:50Congratulations,
01:13:52Miss Harper. Truly well deserved.
01:13:56Would you excuse me?
01:14:02Oh, we did it, Samantha, we did it.
01:14:04No, Everly, you did this.
01:14:06Hold on.
01:14:10Listen to this. Orders are flooding
01:14:12in like crazy.
01:14:14No, I've got this. Trust me.
01:14:16Now get out of here.
01:14:18Go celebrate with your hubby.
01:14:20Yeah?
01:14:22I am so proud
01:14:24of you, Everly.
01:14:34Get lost.
01:14:36I'm more likely to stick a bitch
01:14:38than suck a dick right now.
01:14:40Good. Then we both want the same thing.
01:14:42And?
01:14:44What's that? Revenge.
01:14:46I've spent the last two weeks
01:14:48learning everything I can about
01:14:50Julian Barlow and Everly Harper's relationship.
01:14:52And I think what I found
01:14:54might interest you.
01:14:56Who the fuck are you?
01:14:58I'm someone that hates Julian.
01:15:00And I heard you're someone that hates Everly.
01:15:02So I have a plan
01:15:04that'll get us both what we want.
01:15:06I'm listening.
01:15:12Hmm.
01:15:16Hmm. Am I doing it right?
01:15:18Those look great.
01:15:20Just squeeze your bag a little bit tighter.
01:15:22More icing equals more smiles.
01:15:24Hmm. Hmm.
01:15:26Okay, time to switch to croissants.
01:15:28Oh, the chocolate filled kind?
01:15:30All different kinds.
01:15:32Can you go in the freezer in the back
01:15:34and get me two blocks of butter?
01:15:36They are left side, middle shelf.
01:15:38Left side, middle shelf, two blocks. Got it.
01:15:42Ah! Ah!
01:15:56You're coming with me, Bella.
01:15:58I'm your mother, not that whore.
01:16:00Everly!
01:16:02Save your breath, kid.
01:16:04She can't hear you anyway.
01:16:06Everly! Everly!
01:16:08Shut up!
01:16:12Let go!
01:16:34Bella?
01:16:36Bella?
01:16:38Bella!
01:16:42Bella!
01:16:50Everly!
01:16:52Back here!
01:16:58I'm so sorry.
01:17:00Shh.
01:17:02Shh.
01:17:10This is Julian Barlow.
01:17:12I have your daughter, and if I don't get
01:17:14200 million in cash by sundown,
01:17:16she won't see the sunrise.
01:17:18What did you do with Bella? Who is this?
01:17:20Ten million. Unmarked bills
01:17:22split into two separate duffel bags.
01:17:24Let me talk to Bella.
01:17:26I need to know she's safe.
01:17:28Only after I get the money.
01:17:30She's just a little girl.
01:17:32There's an abandoned campsite at the end of Canyon Ridge Road.
01:17:34Put the cash inside the office cabin
01:17:36and come alone
01:17:38because I'll be watching.
01:17:40When do I get Bella?
01:17:48What are we gonna do?
01:17:50I'll call my bank
01:17:52and I'll get the money within an hour.
01:17:54Okay.
01:17:56Hello?
01:17:58Anybody?
01:18:00Hello?
01:18:02What is she doing here?
01:18:04I need an explanation for this.
01:18:06Mother, now is not the time for this.
01:18:08I had to learn from Kendra that you're not married at all,
01:18:10that you fake everything.
01:18:12What is this? This is for my sake.
01:18:14Combination was Bella's birthday.
01:18:16Very sloppy of you, Julian.
01:18:18How could you lie to your own mother
01:18:20and present this fraud as if she were actually your wife?
01:18:22I knew she was a gold digger,
01:18:24but I didn't know she was a tramp for hire.
01:18:26What?
01:18:30This is not important right now.
01:18:32That is just a piece of paper, Mother.
01:18:34I have to find Bella. She's been kidnapped.
01:18:36My grandbaby has been kidnapped?
01:18:38What happened?
01:18:40Bella and I were baking
01:18:42and someone grabbed me.
01:18:44I blacked out and when I woke up,
01:18:46she was gone.
01:18:48I have to get the ransom money together now,
01:18:50so if you two could please just...
01:18:52Just what?
01:18:54I won't let you handle it.
01:18:56You brought this tramp into my daughter's home
01:18:58and because of her, Bella's life is at stake.
01:19:02Ew.
01:19:04It smells.
01:19:06Did you just let common street trash walk in here?
01:19:08Don't talk about him like that.
01:19:10Bernie is a veteran. He served our country.
01:19:12I'm sorry, Bernie.
01:19:14I don't have the day-olds for you today.
01:19:16But I have something for you,
01:19:18that lady.
01:19:20I saw her. And a tall man.
01:19:24Go back and crawl into whatever hole
01:19:26you came out of, you filthy animal.
01:19:30I saw them.
01:19:34They took that little girl.
01:19:36Fucking bitch! What did you do?
01:19:38Where's Bella?
01:19:40He's obviously deranged. Or on drugs. Or both.
01:19:42A tall man.
01:19:44Did he have short, blonde hair?
01:19:46Athletic build?
01:19:50Nolan.
01:19:52She's working with Nolan.
01:19:54Where is she? Where is Bella?
01:19:56Tell me now!
01:19:58I...
01:20:04What the hell?
01:20:06Where's my daughter?
01:20:12Where is she?
01:20:22Daddy?
01:20:30My little escape artist.
01:20:32You can come out now, Munchkin.
01:20:34It's safe.
01:20:36Daddy and Evelyn are here.
01:20:42Hey.
01:20:53This is ridiculous!
01:20:55It's not kidnapping, if it's your own child!
01:20:59This is ridiculous!
01:21:01It's not kidnapping, if it's your own child!
01:21:05It's over.
01:21:07It's finally over.
01:21:09Isn't me and Mommy
01:21:11gone for good, Daddy?
01:21:13She'll never bother you again, Munchkin.
01:21:15I want you both to know that
01:21:17I'm very ashamed for my part
01:21:19in Kendra's scheme.
01:21:21But you can't continue this fake marriage.
01:21:23You're right, Mother.
01:21:29Everly Harper,
01:21:31you're the most loving, brave,
01:21:33and talented woman I've ever known.
01:21:35Your beauty is just dessert
01:21:37after a rich meal.
01:21:39My life fills full with you in it.
01:21:41Will you do me the honor
01:21:43of marrying me?
01:21:45And me!
01:21:51Julian Barlow,
01:21:53if I was to create a recipe
01:21:55for the bravest, smartest,
01:21:57most loving man, it would be you.
01:22:01Your wealth is not a dessert,
01:22:03but a mere appetizer.
01:22:05So, yes, I will marry you.
01:22:07And you too.
01:22:13I don't know what all that nonsense
01:22:15about food was,
01:22:17but 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
01:22:23smile like that.
01:22:25This way, look at this.
01:22:27Here they come.
01:22:29Oh my gosh, do you see them?
01:22:39So pretty!
01:22:45I helped make that!
01:22:47Yes, you did, Bella.
01:22:49Have you guys ever seen
01:22:51such a beautiful family?
01:22:53I'm so happy for you.
01:22:55Thanks, Bestie.
01:22:57Mommy,
01:22:59how about a cake fight?
01:23:01You're a girl
01:23:03after my own heart, Bella.
01:23:05Everybody, cake fight!
01:23:23Cake fight!
01:23:43Couldn't you have gotten me
01:23:45something more practical?
01:23:47This is going to be a bear to bake with.
01:23:49Only my wife would complain about
01:23:51a flawless diamond being too big.
01:23:53Sorry.
01:23:55I'm not.
01:23:59God, I love you.
01:24:03Hey, Mr. Barlow.
01:24:05Hey, Miss Barlow.
01:24:07Who said I was changing my name?
01:24:13On the topic of change,
01:24:15I've been thinking.
01:24:17Bella needs a playmate.
01:24:19What do you think we give her a sibling?
01:24:21Just one.
01:24:23Foster kid here.
01:24:25I always dreamed of having a big family.
01:24:27Well, how big are we talking?
