Reporter:
Fashionistas and trendsetters,

polish up your stilettos

and bring out
your finest couture,

because Fashion Week is
officially four weeks away

and we have some tea to spill.

Rumor has it former queen of
designer footwear Delaney Diaz

is vying to regain her throne,
but after Delaney's public

stumble from high fashion,
she's going to need to put

her best foot forward.

It's make or break time.

Will Delaney rule
the runways again,

or be destined for
the walk of shame?

Stay tuned.

♪

Wow. Addi.
Looks like a whole new shoe.

Oh, well, Mr. Simmons
likes to stand out.

Just because
he works in construction

doesn't mean
he can't be stylish.

You have so many great designs.

I bet if we tried
we could make some of these

right here in the shop.

Oh, we're barely
keeping up with repairs.

Besides, I doubt Mr. Simmons is
in the market for kitten heels.

She's down.

Did you sing
my little angel to sleep?

Oh, your little angel thinks
that I need a vocal coach.

In five months,
her father will be on leave

and he can take over
the lullaby duties.

Well, I have been trying
to teach her thumbs down.

Oh, thank you so much for that.

Yeah, she's really got
the spirit of it, for sure.

By the way, you're going to be
singing my praises pretty soon.

I got you a job.

Another one?

I still have to stuff goodie
bags for Ruby's birthday party.

No, no, no, no. I met this lady,
Janice, at mommy and me class,

and she works in HR
at Delaney Diaz.

She said that there's
an opening at the front desk.

Wait, the Delaney Diaz?

I don't get
the excitement about her.

Dad, she is a pioneer in
women's designer footwear.

Look at this ad.

Crystal shoes are practical.

That's not the point.

It shows that artistry
and new ideas can emerge

in unexpected places.
A Diaz is one of a kind.

Apparently. Ms. Hollingsworth
said the same thing

when she dropped off her Diazes.

(both gasping)

Where?

And, let me guess,
she asked for Addi specifically.

She's our number one
customer for a reason.

I can't believe
how much money she makes

buying these old designer shoes
and having you to restore them.

Oh...

Look at this iconic shoe.

Suede insoles creates
a luxurious footpad.

She was at the top of
her game when these came out.

"Was" is the key word though.

She's traded style for
sellability with her new stuff.

Too much success
can ruin a brand.

I still think she's brilliant.

I think your designs are better.

Listen, it's just
a receptionist job for now,

but it's also
a foot in the door.

You know, maybe you could
show her your designs.

It would be cool to meet her.

I'll think about it.

Mm, can't.

I already told her that you
would be perfect for the job.

So, she wants to
interview you tomorrow.

Claudia, no!
I mean, what about the shop?

Dad and I have got the shop.

It's Manhattan.

It's really far away.
Dad, what do you think?

I want my daughters
to follow their dreams.

What're you doing?
Get out of here.

♪

Okay.

♪

(sighing)

(phone ringing)

And another one bites the dust.

Picking up or dropping off?

I'm here for Janice.

I'm interviewing for
the receptionist job.

Oh, thank the good Lord.
You're hired.

Sit, Thomas.
You must be Addi Connors.

- Claudia's sister?
- Yes!

Well, you came at
the perfect time.

We have a more pressing
position that just opened.

Oh, no. She can't.
Look at her outfit.

She's not ready.

Ignore him. Thomas is
filling in. He's our floater.

Actually, I'm her assistant.
Floater's below my pay grade.

Thank you for your service.

Come on, Addi. Let's go chat.

(phone ringing)

Delaney Diaz, please hold.

I'm not going to
sugarcoat it, Addi.

This place is not for the weak.
I hope you know how to juggle.

Oh, I'm a good multitasker.

I answer the phones
at my father's shop

while working the register.

How are you with people?

Delaney is,
let's say, particular.

Oh, people always
say I'm cheerful.

Could be worse, I guess.

This is our main design area.

Wow.

This is a dream.

I cannot believe
I am standing where

Delaney Diaz shoes are made.

Well, used to be made.
We don't do couture anymore.

I mean, our designers
have everything within reach

to test fabrics,
stitching, color combos,

but we send out their designs
for samples to be made.

This was Delaney's
assistant's desk.

Ugh, she didn't even
take her personals.

The tantrum I saw earlier?

Kendra. I knew she wouldn't last
long. She cried on day two.

How long did she work here?

Three weeks. Better than most.

It's the fifth assistant
we've lost this year.

Janice, uh, Payroll needs
to speak with you ASAP.

Kendra's seeking
psychological damages.

Not another one.

Okay, Delaney has
a meeting in 15 minutes.

Thomas we need to
clear this before she sees it.

- Can you...
- Sure.

Oh, what's that?
I think my phone's ringing

and a delivery's here
and the lobby's on fire.

I'll get it.

Oh, you are a savior.
The kitchen is through there.

Uh, come to reception
when you're done, but be quick.

Delaney will lose her mind
if she sees you in those flats.

(sighing)

(Splashing)

Oh, no.

I am so sorry.

It's okay.
I didn't see you come out.

You know what? I can fix this.

Come with me.

Take your shoes off.

Why do I feel like
I'm getting mugged?

Call the fashion police because
I'm saving both our jobs.

Delaney cannot see
coffee-stained shoes

on the floor.

Are you a new designer?

Me? Oh, no. I applied
for the receptionist job.

- Yeah.

Um, Addi Connors.

Austin Strickland.

I'm impressed.
You're kind of like a rebel.

Busting into the design
studio like that.

I like to think of myself
as a creative problem solver.

What were you doing
over there?

Oh, Delaney's assistant quit.

I was helping
clean up her stuff.

How long have
you worked here for?

Oh, I've known these
offices since I could walk.

Well, now you can walk around
the offices in custom shoes.

Maybe you'll get a raise.

Maybe you will. Come with me.

Um, I actually have to meet with
Janice to finish my interview.

Oh, trust me.
I have someone you need to meet.

Addi:
Wow.

♪

Is this your office?

No.

It's Delaney's.

Uh, are you sure
we can be in here?

Oh, relax.
Embrace your rebellious side.

It's more fun that way.

But she has a meeting right now.
What if they catch us?

I know.

Now it's with me and you.

Delaney!

You look ravishing today.

I don't succumb to flattery.
You know that.

Yeah.

Who is this?
Why is she in my office?

I would like for you
to meet your new assistant.

Addi Connors.

What happened to Kipper?

Uh, Kipper? Kendra!
(snapping fingers)

Yeah, no. She left.

Weakling.

Okay, we have about
a month until Fashion Week.

You need someone reliable.

- This is reliable?
- Mm-hm.

Have you seen her shoes?

Have you seen mine?

Where did you get those?

Five minutes ago, here,
thanks to Addi Connors.

- You smile a lot.
- Yeah.

Well, how could I not?

I am standing in front

I mean, come on.

Okay, you can go now.

Before you call security on me,
I just have to say,

Oh, you want me to speak?

Iced chai latte.
It was on the list.

Oh, right.

I put it right on your desk

Seems you watered
the latte as well.

Sorry, I can get

Ooh, Delaney does not
like food on the workspace.

Great.
Another thing I messed up.

I have until Fashion Week
to not get fired.

I don't think I'm going to make
it through this trial period.

She already hates me.

Just give her a chance.

Under that tough exterior,
there's a really good heart.

You just got to keep digging.

Oh, yeah? With an excavator?

Sometimes.

Delaney came up in
a business dominated by men.

She had to be fierce
to succeed.

You know, you're really
good at public relations.

And you really do ooze
of positivity and charm.

So, what's your story?

How did you see
through her tough exterior?

Delaney was
my mom's best friend,

and when my mom passed away,
she stuck around.

I'm sorry.

I lost my mom, too,
a few years ago.

You really do remember
who supports you in that time.

So, is that why
you represent her now?

No, my father
owns the PR company,

and Delaney has been
a longtime client.

Not without challenges,
especially since she got sued

for stealing ideas
by her assistant.

The guy was disgruntled.

It was all false,

but the headlines
and the rumors remain,

which I think is
what hardened her to it.

Well, yeah.
I can understand why.

Yeah, well, I'm trying to
get her back to the top,

but Fashion Week is make it
or break it for all of us.

Oh, is she in trouble?

Franco Chaussure is
attempting a hostile buyout.

He wants to use her label
as his discount brand.

If I don't get any buyers on
this runway show I'm part of,

she's going to
be forced to sell.

That would ruin her legacy.

You think more like
Delaney than you know.

I knew sticking my neck
out for you would pay off.

(rattling)

What... These are supposed
to attract buyers?

The meeting's in a few minutes!

Don't blame me.
I'm just a pretty face.

You're not quitting
on me just yet, are you?

No, never.
Just give me a few seconds.

♪

Perfect.

Hurry, Delany's within
striking distance.

- Grab the numbers.
- Okay.

Here we go.

This here, here, here.

No, that looks great.
Okay. Perfect.

It's great.

Everything is ready
for the buyers meeting.

Not bad, right?

- Adequate, finally.
- Thomas: This way.

Please.

After you. Have a seat.

Thanks, everyone.
Shall we get started?

Now as you can see,
we've done the pump

in a very classic style.

This holds a wide appeal,
I think, to your clientele.

We can do that in
a variety of colors.

The boot we have done in
this beautiful calf skin.

Again, a very familiar
design to help move volume.

The boots.
I'll take as many units

as the manufacturer can
produce before next season.

Excellent. I will have
the team get on that right away.

If I may, Renee,
just the boots?

At this price,
how could I refuse?

My apologies. There appears
to be a little misprint.

I am so sorry.
I didn't realize that

the numbers correspond
with the prices.

Well, Renee, we won't waste
any more of your precious time.

I will personally see to it that
you get the correct price list

and we can reconvene
at a later date.

We're meeting with
Franco Chaussure

later this week.

Are you sure
you want to reschedule?

I'm sure that you
and I can work something out.

Why don't we talk
a little more in my office?

Austin. Would you?

Right this way.

I am so sorry.

I was rushing to get
things ready and I wanted to...

It's just a notebook.

- This was a good campaign.
- Yeah.

I would know I came up with it.

Yeah, when I was in college
my dad invited me to go into

one of the marketing meetings.

I had the audacity to
speak up. They loved it.

And that was it.

I can't believe that.
This ad has inspired me so much

and it was you.

What are these?

Oh, they're nothing.
They're just sketches.

I like to draw when
I'm at my dad's shop.

It's just a hobby.
I'm not the designer anything.

Well, this notebook
says otherwise.

I am just trying to survive
Delaney's shoe empire.

Oh, I get that.

For now you might
want to tuck this away.

I mean,
Delaney has some trust issues.

She doesn't discuss anything
other than with her design team.

You should see their contracts.
They're ironclad.

Just promise me one thing.
Don't pitch her just yet.

Because if you do we might never
work in the city ever again.

Oh. Yeah, understood.
(clearing throat)

So, what's this event?

Technically it's my dad's event,

but I have a few out-of-the-box
ideas I want to pitch,

which is why I need Delaney,
and, if you wanted to come by

and maybe be her bumper?

Her bumper?

- Yeah.
- What is that?

You know how much
she hates the chitchat

and smiling for cameras.

- I think I can handle that.
- Yeah?

- Yeah.
- I really see you with

a bulletproof vest
and some sunglasses.

(both laughing)

Well, I admire your
unwavering faith in me.

I know special when I see it.

Um, but in all honesty though,

earn Delaney Diaz's trust
and she'll invite you in.

And then she'll have you
sign a 50-page contract. Easy.

Yeah, if she doesn't
fire me first.

I'll make sure
that doesn't happen.

Just get some more ice.

Okay.

No. Walking on glass
would be more comfortable.

These all tested very well.

With who? Someone with hooves?

Is... Is this
a medical condition?

Oh, no, no. No. I just...

Sentences, my love. Sentences.

Well...

Why not go back
to the suede insole?

Mrs. Hollingsworth
loves the suede insole.

So, she says that
it's like walking on air.

I'm sorry,
who is Mrs. Hollingsworth?

She's a client at
my dad's shoe repair shop.

What school
did you graduate from?

Parsons? NYU?

Um...

None of the above.

But I did take courses
at community college.

I'll have the team
go back to the drawing board.

Just take out
the Millennial Collection

and let's have a look
at the suede insole.

(sighing)

Have you lost your mind?

Because of the insoles?

You have me
attending an art opening

hosted by Robert Strickland.

They are notoriously boring.

Oh, well...

Thank God Austin inherited
his mother's creativity.

Well, he's invited
a lot of press.

I think it's a great idea.

You do? And how many reporters

have tried to
mortify you for clickbait?

Well, Morgan Humphries once took
a photo of my skirt tucked into

my tights and sent it
to the entire 10th grade.

I was horrified. I even called
my dad to come pick me up,

but he told me
I had to stay and face it,

and then Joey Lieberman ended up
calling Coach Thomas "mom,"

and everyone forgot about me
for the rest of the day.

- Mm.

Okay, good.
Next time spare me the details

of your painfully
tedious memoir.

Just cancel.

Oh, but Austin
would be so disappointed.

He has one of
his out-of-the-box ideas.

His dad's been
really hard on him.

I know it would mean
a lot if you could see it.

Austin's father is
very hard on him sometimes.

Alright, I'll make

Well, you are a creative
problem solver. Bravo.

Thank you.
You want to get out of here?

What about the event?

Oh, I'm sure my dad
has it all under control.

Besides, there's something
I want to show you.

And so I told them, "If you're
gonna be singing that song,

you need to be
hitting that note."

- He loves to sing.
- He loves to sing.

He can't hit that note.

- Are you cold?
- A little bit.

Okay. Here.

Oh.

(Clearing throat)

Here you go.

Thank you.

Can I get your bag?

Thanks. Where are you taking me?

Well, this is my latest
out-of-the-box idea.

Wow.

The point is to make it
rain Delaney Diaz shoes

early in the morning
to get the buzz

in the busiest laneway
of the district.

Wanna try?

- Uh, is it legal?
- Legal?

What, like,
littering or something?

Well, as long as
it doesn't touch the ground.

Otherwise, I hope
you have a good lawyer.

(laughing)

- Yes!
- (laughing)

I bet you can't make it
to the third line from here.

- Over there?
- Mm-hm.

Alright. Here we go.

Littering! Citizen's arrest!

- You will not catch me.
- Citizen's arrest!

I still can't believe
you pulled over Armond Alonse,

the king of handbags himself.

I know. I fully expect
a melted chai latte

dumped over my head
in the morning before

Not before she asks you
to remove her vintage shoes.

(groaning)

Did you know she designed those?

- Mm-hm.
- Where'd you get 'em?

They're out on loan.

I just wanted to fit in
with the people at the party.

I mean, they're fantastic.
Urban chic.

Urban chic. I like that.

We should use that in a show,

give Delaney Diaz her edge.

Hm.

Hey, how come she
doesn't design anymore?

Uh... Well, I think
she lost confidence.

The industry doesn't
really take her as seriously

as they used to.

She had a few flops,
lost a lot of sales,

she had to transition towards,
you know, more basic models

for department stores
to keep her brand afloat.

Was that her idea?

It was my dad's actually,
and it worked.

I know she wants to
go towards high fashion,

but she's afraid.

Well, she's about
to get bought out.

Now's the time to take a risk.

I couldn't agree more,
but we are outnumbered.

No one wants to
take risks right now.

Well, your ideas are great.

Social media is going to
be buzzing tomorrow morning

about the runway
all thanks to you.

You should start
your own PR firm.

Thank you,

I mean, I would love
to call the shots,

but it's a big leap.

I wish I could
practice what I preach,

but I'm still figuring out
how or if I have a voice

in this industry.

I feel kind of lost.

Maybe... maybe we all are.

Alright, last chance.
Time to redeem yourself.

Okay.

You, um, you're gonna
bust me out of jail

if this doesn't work, right?

Like, use that arm
and throw a grappling hook

over the wall or something?

You really need my help.

Help me up here.

Nice.

There we go.

I should go.

This was really fun though.
Thank you for cheering me up.

Thank you. It was. Um...

it was a total flop.

crazy about that black pump.

Now, those red shoes
that you wore,

all the people around me,

from all walks of life.

From punks to power brokers.

I loved it.
I loved all the bold contrasts.

The trains,
the power, the boldness.

The urban chic.

No, that's not
what our buyers want.

But maybe it's
what the people want.

The people want what
the buyers tell them to want.

That's how it works.

We have to stick
to what we know.

Call the boys in. I think
I need to give the design team

steal anything, Delaney.

I'm sure this will all get
cleared up before the show.

Just give it
a little bit more time.

The story is out!
I would need a time machine!

No, I can't risk
another public humiliation.

Cancel the show.

No, don't do that.
You have to keep fighting.

The fight is over, Addi,
and we lost.

If we get any more backlash,
our stock is going to plummet.

Now, Chaussure may want to
put me in a bargain basement,

but I won't let them
purchase us at bottom dollar.

No.

We're done here.

Go home.

♪

Okay, get the team together.

Think about anything
that could have got

the shoe in that package, okay?

We cannot cancel the show.

Take care.

- Addi: Hey, it's me.

Hey, Addi! How's work?
You left so early this morning.

Addi: It's terrible.

My sketches got
into the final design

and Austin used it
for the press release,

because he thought
they were Delaney's designs.

That's great news!

No, it's not. Delaney was outed
by a reporter for stealing it.

So, tell her it's yours.

How? She'll think
I did it on purpose,

and she is on a war path.

She threatened
my career, our family.

I can't have Dad's shop
getting taken out for this.

She'll understand, I know her.

You do not know Delaney's wrath.

Thing is, I don't even know
how the sketches got in there.

Mm. I maybe do.

What? No, Claudia, you didn't.

I just... I wanted to
help you out, you know?

You are so talented,
and people need to see it.

You're welcome.

No, no. This isn't a good thing!
She's going to lose everything!

She cancelled the runway show.

It was her last chance
at keeping Franco Chaussure

from buying her out.

Claudia: Wow. I didn't know.

I am so sorry. What can I do?

Do you want me to call Delaney?

No! No, no, no, no.
Absolutely not.

Austin is on his way here now,
and I'll keep you posted, okay?

Okay.

Bye.

Andrea:
Austin Strickland.

You have quite the PR
disaster on your hands.

Thanks for the update.
I wasn't aware.

You know,
when I offered Addi a job,

I didn't expect her to make it
easier for our acquisition.

Franco may promote her
before she even starts.

What are you talking about?

She's not only talented,
but ambitious.

Slipping in her own design?

Tell me, were you in on it, too?

Because if so we may have
a job off for you as well.

Austin.

I have something
I have to tell you.

Oh. No need, no need.
Andrea told me everything.

How could you?

What?

Slipping in
your design like that?

Backstabbing Delaney, myself,

after all that talk
about not being cutthroat.

You are ruthless.

Austin, that's not what
happened.

It's a beautiful shoe.

It's honestly too bad that
it won't be at Fashion Week.

Well, you can bring
your designs to the office.

I know that Franco
is very excited to see them.

We'll see you then.

I see you really
found your place.

Well-played.

Austin.

Austin!

(birds chirping)

How'd you know I was here?

I always brought you here when
you had a bad day at school, so.

Claudia told you?

So, what happens next?

I know Claudia was
just trying to help...

...and I'm sure
Austin has told Delaney.

I just worked so hard.

I can't believe
it's going to end like this.

And the worst part is everyone
thinks I did it on purpose.

Like I'm some malicious traitor.

You're not.

And you're not a quitter.

I don't really have
many other options.

Yes, you do.

You'll get back up
and you'll fight.

Never give up.

You know you belong there.

Show them.
You owe it to yourself.

No, it's...

It's over.

Show's cancelled.
Chaussure's buying the company.

Did they buy the company today?

No. Soon.

If the show's been cancelled,
can it be uncancelled?

Today, maybe?

Well, we do still have
the space booked, but...

When you were young, you used to
build these wonderful towers

with your mom's shoes.
Do you remember that?

Yeah.

Claudia loved
knocking them over.

Remember what
your mother told you?

Just because it
fell apart doesn't mean

it can't be rebuilt.

Exactly.

Do you really think
I can fix it?

I think you can do anything.

They think
I'm a terrible person.

Go show them
who you really are.

♪

Please don't take that down.

You got some guts
showing up here, huh?

I should call security.

I know what you're thinking,

but there's been
a big misunderstanding.

Save it, Addi.
I'm really not interested.

I am trying to save the company
and I think I know how.

What, are you
a double agent now?

You gonna bring
Chaussure's secrets to me?

(sighing)

Yes, they offered me a job,

but I turned it down.

Although I have questioned
myself every step of the way,

and you haven't
made it very easy,

I know I belong here.

Oh, that is touching.

Is that why you submitted
your design under my name?

I didn't...

Then how did it get there, Addi?

I have a very loving family

who thought they
were helping me out.

Claudia slipped
my design into the book.

She wanted you to see my work.

No one thought that it
would escalate like this.

It was a very big mistake,

but I think something
good can come of this.

The show's cancelled, Addi.
It's over.

Chaussure's already working
on the paperwork for the buyout.

I mean, the curtain is falling.

But we can do the show,
we still have the space.

(laughing)
Except we don't have any shoes.

I had the manufacturer
throw them all out.

Why?

Why?
Because they're insignificant!

You know, the hardest part
about this is that people

were just starting to get
excited about me again.

Except it wasn't me at all.

And when they
found out the truth,

well, it just confirmed
what they already believe.

Delaney Diaz is a has-been.

I always knew
a Delaney Diaz shoe

could get you where
you needed to go

no matter the circumstance.

Well, I appreciate your passion,

but you are overlooking
one very significant detail.

- No shoes?
- No shoes.

But you do. You have these.

These are shoes you
can conquer the world in.

This is what the people want.

Well, that may be, but no, no.

You're wrong. The public won't
show up for me, not anymore.

Thanks to Jacob.

You are tough,

but you are smart and generous.

We can't give up now.

Don't lose yourself.

You'll win over the public.
I know it.

How do you propose I do that?

You show them
who you really are.

Except the show is
in less than 48 hours,

and what am I going to do?
I can't make the shoes myself.

Nope, but I know
someone who can.

♪

Whoa, so you repair
all kinds of shoes here.

Oh, yes. We don't discriminate.

Except Franco Chaussure.

Cheaply made,
soles as thin as paper.

Okay, we have 48 hours
to make these shoes,

but luckily we have
all the materials

and tools to get this done.

Thank you all so much.
I can't tell you what it means

to me that you're doing this.

Reporter: And, of course,
the biggest story in fashion

is tonight's highly anticipated
comeback show by Delaney Diaz.

Already it's generated
a lot of buzz,

having initially been
cancelled after the revelation

of some still
unproven allegations.

The show is now
just moments away,

signifying that the normally
safe-playing Diaz

is ready to face

Still, people are asking,
does she have it in her to

Okay, we're all set.

Oh, not quite yet.
I want to add one more.

Oh, we don't
have an extra model.

That's okay,
'cause I want you to walk.

Me?

So far we've managed
to avoid total disaster.

Let's not hit
the iceberg direct.

No, I really think that
this might be the right way

to clear up any old headlines,

and also to give credit

where credit is due.

I thought you
threw these all away.

What, are you kidding?

Even in a fit of rage,
I know better than

to throw away a great shoe,
and that's a great shoe.

Oh, honey, don't cry.

I'm not.

But compliments from you
are few and far between,

Well, good.
Wear them with pride, hm?

You're stepping out into
a whole new world now,

everything is going to change.

Thank you.

Austin's not here.

Director: (knocking)
Places, everyone.

Don't take it personally.

He just had to do what
