The Love Heist (2026) Movie Script
1
(airy wistful music) (letters whooshing)
(bright dramatic music)
(horns honking) (train wheels clacking)
(crowd chattering) (bright upbeat music)
[Reporter] Who are you wearing?
(door slams)
[Camera Operator] Just
over your left shoulder!
(crowd chattering)
Oh, excuse me?
Sorry! Excuse me.
Yeah, you can't drive that thing
without a Chicago Hotel Cart license.
Need at least five years
of cart pushing experience
and a master's degree in
luggage transportation.
(horn honking) (crowd chattering)
It's a little joke there. Get it?
If you have to say "Get it," is it funny?
Anyway, I only have 4
1/2 years experience.
Unless you count emotional baggage.
(employee laughs)
I think it's more about a liability issue.
Guests can't use the carts.
Oh! (Body thuds)
-Oh!
-Oh!
Buddy, watch out! (Camera snapping)
Sorry about that.
You okay?
Damsel in distress at
your service. (Chuckles)
Ah, that bellhop will be
more than happy to help you
if you just give him a moment.
Mm-hmm! (Playful music)
Excuse me!
(crowd chattering)
Welcome to Park Lux!
(cheerful mellow music)
(crowd chattering)
(phone ringing)
(cheerful mellow music continues)
-Hello!
-Hi!
Here you go.
Perfect. Thank you!
Kayli Simone?
[Kayli] Yeah!
Is this Los Angeles address correct?
We don't seem to have you here.
I'm so sorry. The room
is under Celine Lang Inc.
(elevator bell dings)
The Celine Lang?
Mm-hmm!
Who styles Margot
and ZZ and Rini Jean?
Yes!
-I follow her online.
-The looks are to die for!
Right?
(crowd chattering) (keyboard tapping)
You are in the Blast Suite.
Oh!
I can't believe Celine
Lang is coming here.
You know it!
I mean, the Cosmo Gala is for
all of us who love fashion.
Oh!
14th floor. Just that way.
Thank you!
(playful pensive music)
(drone buzzing) (camera snapping)
(bright bouncy music)
Sorry, I took the cart. I didn't
see anyone and it was busy!
-Get down!
-What?
You see that?
(drone buzzing)
It's a drone camera from a gossip site.
It just flew into the hotel trying to get
private footage of the guests
staying here this week.
What a time to be alive!
(drone buzzes)
Little help?
Huh?
Woo! Okay.
Push me!
Ah, I don't think that's a good idea.
-Push me!
-Okay!
(Kayli grunting) (playful music)
-Faster!
-What?
That's it!
Faster!
[Kayli] Okay!
And!
Ooh!
(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)
Huh!
Do all my own stunts.
Are you okay, Ms. Simone?
Ah, it's Kayli. How did you know that?
Oh, I'm briefed on all the gala guests.
Oh!
Liam Mills, Park Lux Security Chief,
but you can call me Mills.
Mm!
Sorry if I frightened you.
No, not at all!
I have all this luggage because
I'm an assistant stylist
and I'm dressing Rini Jean this week.
Well, first rule of security,
you never say who your VIP is.
Even to someone who's
briefed on the gala guests?
Hmm!
So we good here?
Yeah, as long as you think
I can handle the cart by myself.
(Mills laughs)
Excuse me.
(Kayli chuckles)
First rule of security. Please!
What was that?
Oh, nothing!
(bouncy playful music)
(wistful enchanted music)
(wistful enchanted music continues)
(door beeps)
Hello?
Kayli?
Celine, this place is amazing!
Plenty of room to do fittings.
And look at these.
Kayli, darling.
[Kayli] Hmm?
You'll never guess what happened.
Oh no!
-It's good news.
-Oh!
Truman is going to
elope with his girlfriend.
Oh, my gosh! Congratulations!
Oh, thank you!
I'm already thinking mother
of the groom dresses,
but no sequins.
Never!
(both giggle)
Oh, you're gonna make the
coolest mother of the groom ever.
He just called me in the
car. I couldn't believe it.
There's just one thing though.
He's doing it this weekend in Paris.
Oh, my gosh. You can't miss that!
No, I can't. The Eiffel Tower at sunset!
They're so in love.
Kayli, it's a
once-in-a-lifetime family event.
I had no idea it was coming.
Of course!
Kayli, you can do this on your own.
Maybe we should see
if Leslie can come out?
No! You can do this!
The clothes are already chosen,
everything approved by
Rini Jean and her team.
All the pre-party looks are
straight off the runway.
Yeah!
Right. Okay.
Hey, what happened was years ago.
It's time to get over the past, sweetie.
Live in the now.
I know! But, you know, I don't know.
Look! You're in Chicago!
And somebody told me they
have the best vintage shops
in the world.
Kayli, I know that's your thing.
Have some fun.
It'll help the work and you deserve it.
I'm touched, but not totally convinced.
(phone dings)
Oh!
Go.
You've got this!
(bouncy tense music)
(pensive music)
(visitor knocks)
There's Rini Jean already?
Hi!
Ah, may I come in?
Oh! Ah, I'm a little busy right now.
I just need a quick
signature for a delivery
from this museum, the
Chicago Fashion Institute.
They are very particular
about their chain of custody.
Of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come in!
(wistful inspirational music)
Rini Jean's gown for the Cosmo Gala.
Nice!
Nice? This was Elizabeth Taylor's dress!
The actress!
The icon.
Cleopatra?
Very nice?
Well, she wore it to the
Academy Awards in 1970.
Rini Jean's producing her first movie.
It's an Elizabeth Taylor biopic,
so it has extra meaning to her.
Wait, I'm sorry.
This piece of fabric is
appraised at upwards six figures.
Well, no, it's priceless actually.
You're holding history in your hands!
Oh!
That's probably why
Celine wanted me to be here.
Taking care of vintage
clothes is kinda my specialty.
This?
French silk chiffon with the
most gorgeous S-twist weave
that just floats on the body.
They dyed it to match
Elizabeth Taylor's violet eyes.
Legend has it, it took 72 hours
to get the color just right.
Wow!
You know, I don't know very
much about French twist chiffon,
but 72 hours seems like a
pretty short work week to me.
Right?
You know you're a workaholic
when your dating profile says,
"We'll reschedule at least twice."
(Mills laughs)
Mine says,
"May run from dinner if
there's a security breach."
You know that I've missed
my college friend's weddings
three times because of Fashion Week.
Thrice!
Thrice? (Chuckles)
I made a map of all
of the emergency exits
at my cousin's wedding
reception as an early gift.
Weird. (Laughs)
Okay, first, I've got four
looks that I need to do
for the other parties this week.
Right!
Do you mind if I just
run through the protocol
on the dress real quick?
Oh, son of a stitch!
So there are very strict
chain of possession rules
for tracking the gown
because it is a museum piece.
I understand that you have a
fitting here with it today.
Once you need it back on
the night of the Cosmo Gala,
though, there will be a full-time guard
that travels everywhere with the client.
Kayli?
Oh my! These are the wrong size shoes!
Kayli?
There's already been a theft earlier today
at this pre-gala lunch in downtown.
Some kind of a vintage purse, a Hermes.
Hermes!
Gesundheit!
Where is the pink sash?
I can't find the pink sash
that goes with this dress.
Well, it's no wonder
you can't find anything.
This looks like Cinderella's
closet exploded.
First of all, Cinderella
didn't have any ballgowns
because she was too
busy doing all the work
in the background.
Sounds familiar.
Yeah!
And secondly,
thank you for bringing up
the Cinderella reference,
because these should
have a princess spirit.
You know, the theme
for the gala this year
is Fairytale Fantasy.
You know? Happily ever after.
Yeah!
Why do we always focus on
the happily ever after part?
That's a hopeful sentiment.
No, I mean it.
Why not focus more on the journey itself
instead of the destination?
Otherwise, what's the point?
One million likes on Instagram,
according to my industry.
Right.
Anyway, if you wouldn't
mind just signing this here,
I'll get out of your hair.
Okay!
(hand slaps)
(Kayli screams)
Oh no!
It's okay! Ah, we can fix this, I'm sure.
No! No, no, no, no!
No, this can't be all of them!
It's okay!
I'm sure no one will miss
a couple of feathers.
You're kidding me.
These long lenses on the
red carpet see everything.
I mean, people have to be
perfect from head to toe.
It's insane.
So, ah,
I'm gonna need you to sign
this chain of possession form
if you wanna keep that
dress for the fitting.
Oh! My boss signs those.
Okay.
Ah, where is your boss?
On her way to France.
Kayli, I can't leave until you sign this.
I just wanna get through
this gala without any hiccups
so I can just go back to my regular life.
Is this not what you usually do?
No! Not alone! I'm an assistant!
But Celine thinks I can do it,
and she had to go to her son's wedding.
And just believe me, I'm
not so good under pressure.
Go ahead. Make fun of me
for my fashion emergency.
I would never do that.
I'm sure this is all very difficult.
I'm not so great with responsibility.
You know, making the decisions.
I mean, these have to
be sewn in one by one
and Rini Jean's gonna be
here soon for a fitting,
and I.
[Mills] Take a deep breath!
- Yeah, I need to-
- Take a deep breath with me.
(both inhaling deeply)
Hold it.
And release. Whew!
I know it's so annoying
when someone tells you
to take a deep breath,
but it kind of does work.
I'm okay. Thanks.
Can I tell you something?
Sure!
You can't be brave unless you're scared.
Was that some sort of inspirational quote
off social media?
(Mills chuckles)
I learned it in the military actually.
All right, I will be back to pick up the very,
very nice Elizabeth Taylor
dress before I go off my shift
and then it goes in the big safe
until we take it out for the gala.
If you please.
(Kayli sighs)
(pen scrapes)
All right!
Hey!
By the way, thank you for everything.
Sure! This is a full service hotel.
Great. Then can you get
me some more of these?
I'll talk to the concierge.
(cheerful music)
Our Cosmo Gala patrons
return year after year
because the Park Lux is
synonymous with comfort, luxury,
but most importantly, discretion.
Now, I wanna ensure that we are
all on our A game this week.
Keep in mind that the photogs
that are parked outside
are not necessarily
unwelcome by this crowd,
many of which will
want to be photographed
to highlight their clothing.
Now, there'll be many
comings and goings this week
with several pre-gala events,
so stay alert and manage
the flow smoothly.
Any questions?
Yes?
Mills, we heard about your promotion.
Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag.
Yes, I have applied for
the International
Security Director position
for the entire Park Lux hotel chain.
You are for sure going to get it.
(Mills laughs)
We'll miss you, sir.
Well, don't say goodbye to me yet.
Even if I get it, I will be back periodically.
They say that traveling
to each of the hotels
for a week at a time,
you wind up seeing them
all every seven months.
So if there are no further questions,
I would love to get into
the new security protocols
for the EVAC procedures.
Take a look at this map.
(airy bright music)
Okay, so I just thought
we would go through
everything that you and
Celine picked out back in LA,
just as a reminder.
So this is tonight's
look for the runway show,
which I hear you're
sitting in the front row.
And then this is for the
Sky Deck event tomorrow.
And then this will be for
the night-before party at Mirabella's.
(Rini Jean sighs)
(bouncy pensive music)
Shall we try on tonight's look?
Sure.
(wistful enchanted music)
As you and Celine discussed,
you really wanted to
embrace the fairytale theme
with ruffled silhouettes
and layers of texture,
diaphanous fabrics.
I mean, it's really a dreamy
over-the-top feminine look
that just totally embraces
that escapist fairytale aesthetic.
I hate it!
I wanna be different than everyone else!
What? What? What?
You hate it?
I mean, I know the color
is a little bit subtle,
but I think it goes with all the other ones.
No, no! It's not that I hate it.
It's beautiful.
I just... Okay!
Kayli, I am so sorry!
When Celine walked me
through the vision,
she was so certain that
this was the way to go.
And, well, I said yes because
it is Celine Lang, you know?
I do know.
Okay!
Well, this happens!
Why don't we just switch out
one of the other day's looks for tonight,
and then we can replace
that on another day.
I am not sure any of these
really work for tonight.
You have to be there in five hours.
Ah! (Bouncy tense music)
(body flops)
What am I gonna do?
Oh, that's a cute dog.
Who's that?
May-May. She's with my parents.
Oh, so tiny.
What breed?
I got her at a shelter in Silver Lake.
I'm not sure.
The idea was to get a guard dog
so that I felt safer on
my walks in the morning.
You know, a dog that says,
"Hey, keep your distance."
But when I got there,
I changed my mind.
I just clicked with her.
Even though she draws
more attention to me
instead of being a protective barrier.
I never thought I'd
be a small dog person.
But when I looked in her
eyes, I just realized that
instead of looking for
someone to take care of me,
I was looking to take care
of someone else for once.
That is so beautiful.
(soft cheerful music)
You know, I'm thinking
there are so many
characters in fairytales,
not just princesses.
There's the heroes that save the day.
Or should I say the
heroines that save the pups?
I have an idea.
Ugh! The whole entire outfit?
Every last hand-smocked ruffle!
Not to make it all about me,
but are we still doing the crimped bob?
Or what kind of hairstyle
do you want me to give her?
No, I'm thinking maybe
like a slick back pony.
A little movement in the back.
Oh! I like!
What are you thinking of doing, Kayli?
(Kayli grunts)
I don't know!
My job is the alterations,
the pickups, the steaming,
not the choosing!
Some might say this is a promotion.
I don't want a promotion!
I know, honey. But this
is a great opportunity.
Hey, I had that responsibility once
and I was no good at it, remember?
Sweetie, could you maybe have
your nervous breakdown later?
Like when Rini Jean leaves for the show,
fully dressed with fabulous hair?
I was just trying to squeeze
in an emotional breakdown
before I start panic shopping.
Okay, I'll be done with Rini
Jean in a couple of hours.
Okay!
You got this!
Yeah! Thanks, Perry!
(playful pensive music)
(crowd chattering)
(footsteps racing)
(footsteps racing)
(bell jingles)
How can I help you today, darling?
Hi! I'm looking for formal wear.
Well, you have to be a
little more specific than that.
What type of formal wear?
Um...
Well!
You mean something like this?
I wore this to the Windy
City Waltz back in 1985.
Ah?
Oh wow! Maybe.
Or what about this one?
From the first Annual Starry Night Ball
at the Adler Planetarium.
Must have been late '90s.
All of your dresses are incredible.
I do know the pedigree
of just about every piece,
not just the designer,
but the woman who had it,
and usually where she wore it.
Wow!
Your shop is a dream.
Well, what are you shopping for?
The Orloff Show tonight.
I have a client
who's going to all of the
gala events this week,
and the last look is
channeling Elizabeth Taylor.
Oh, everyone is looking
for celebrity pieces,
so good luck.
But it's time for my stories.
Oh, yeah. Okay.
(remote clicks)
(romantic orchestral music)
(bouncy pensive music)
Okay, so there's this one.
Or this one.
I can't really see. You keep freezing.
Okay! Celine, can you hear me?
Ah, I just need you to choose
because I don't wanna
be the one to choose.
The important thing is,
which one do you love?
Get away from the noise a
little and listen to yourself.
Have the courage of your convictions.
I'd rather have the
courage of your convictions.
(phone beeping)
Is that an editorial comment?
(bright music)
(horn honks)
The fabric is hand-sewn,
in the tradition of
Chicago bespoke tailors
on Michigan Avenue in the 1920s.
Paired with this Ivy cap,
made very popular by Ivy
League students of New England
around the same time.
Think it looks good. Hmm?
It's giving Marlena Dietrich meets Prince.
Yes! (Rini Jean laughs)
I fashioned together some vintage ties
for this sort of structured slim bodice,
and I think it's the perfect
combination of softness
and strength the way every
fairytale heroine should be.
I love it!
Really?
This is so, so me.
(Kayli sighs dramatically)
Oh, I think Oliver's gonna love it too.
Who's Oliver?
Ollie K, my boyfriend!
-No!
-Shh!
Unless you wanna sign an NDA.
I think he's gonna love it.
(Rini Jean giggles)
Oh, Kayli, I know that
this was last minute,
but you really pulled it off.
I can't wait to see what you'll do with
the rest of the week's looks!
(bouncy tense music)
You mean redo everything?
Not the Elizabeth Taylor dress, no,
but all of the pre-parties.
Please?
I don't think that's possible.
You only had a few hours for this one.
And look! An original.
I'm gonna surprise everyone.
(airy pensive music)
(visitor knocks)
Oh! What'd you forget?
(footsteps clopping)
Oh!
May I come in?
Um, sure!
I mean, to get the Elizabeth Taylor dress
and put it back in the safe?
Of course! I know. Ah-huh!
Yes! Absolutely! (Mills chuckles)
How did the fitting go?
Oh, I had to redo everything.
But then, you know what?
She actually kinda loved it.
See?
Yeah, but now she wants me
to redo all the pre-gala looks.
Ah, that sounds like a very good thing.
It is a very risky thing.
A very short notice thing!
She believes in you.
What'd she think of the
Elizabeth Taylor dress?
You know what? We
didn't even get that far.
But that is a for certain, so
I'm not worried about that.
Still in the wardrobe?
Yeah, I put it in there before I left.
(bouncy tense music)
What? What do you mean you left?
Before I went shopping.
(dramatic music)
It's gone!
(pensive jazz music)
Was there anything
unusual about the scene
when you got back from shopping?
Yeah, it was unusual
that she left the dress alone in the room!
We've established that, Mills.
I hung it up in the trunk
and then when I came back,
nothing was unusual.
And, I mean, I know it's
kind of hard to notice
'cause the room is a little...
Chaotic!
An active workspace!
[Mills] Hmm?
Well, insurance has been notified
and they'll have all the paperwork
and no doubt be in touch with Park Lux.
Is there anything we should
do? Anything we can do?
Well, the best
possible outcome would be
for the dress to be recovered
and the claim would be closed.
But if it's not found by
the time it's due back,
then the official insurance
process will begin.
(Mills sighs)
So that means we have almost a week
before we need it for the gala.
Mm-hmm!
And then the Park Lux's
reputation for security
will be decimated.
And Rini Jean will have nothing to wear.
Oh no!
If only there were a room
filled with other dresses
that she could choose from.
(Kayli chuckles)
I know you've already reviewed it,
but I'll need all the security footage.
For your case file! Of course!
Obviously, we've checked
and there's nothing there.
Devon, would you please send
Detective Selma the link?
-Right away, sir!
-[Mills] Thank you!
Thank you, Detective.
I'm suspect number one, aren't I?
Yeah!
Look, you're supposed
to disagree with me!
-I'm too tired to disagree.
-The sun rises in four minutes.
I should just give up and go home.
Oh yeah, 'cause that
wouldn't be suspicious at all.
Besides, didn't Detective Selma say that
she needs you to remain
around for questioning?
Well, I could be available in LA!
I don't think it works that way.
Hey!
I didn't take it!
Security footage doesn't
show anyone else going in
and out of your room except for you.
Maybe you took it with you
to find matching shoes or something.
Yeah, I stuffed a full-length ball gown
in my tiny little purse
and then just forgot.
Okay!
Why would someone take this thing?
Are you kidding me?
It was worn by Elizabeth Taylor!
It's highly collectible.
I mean, you can't even put
a price on the history.
The woman at the thrift store yesterday,
she said that a lot of people
this week were coming in
looking for celebrity vintage items.
Who? Which shop?
Matilda's on North Milwaukee Avenue.
That's in Bucktown. Okay,
so we retrace your steps.
We go back and we ask if
anyone's looking to buy
or sell Elizabeth Taylor stuff.
Are you following a lead or following me?
You get some rest and
then you text me later.
We're going shopping.
(soft lively music)
Looks like everything's in order.
Yes, sir!
And I will keep following
up with the Chicago PD,
the museum, and the insurance carrier.
Everyone has been notified,
we've been assigned an agent,
and I have the case number.
And I assure you,
I will do everything in my
power to get this dress back.
Well, get Devon to help cover for you.
And this is all in order, as usual.
I expect no less.
Yes, sir!
Of course,
I do realize that this theft
might affect my promotion.
Well, you followed procedure.
No one can fault you for that.
But, yes, the timing isn't great.
Just know that we'll
always want you here
as head of security for
the Park Lux Chicago,
but overseeing security for
the entire Park Lux chain,
that's another ball of wax.
(pensive music)
Certainly, sir.
I will still give you my
full recommendation, of course.
Thank you, Errol.
Ready, Kayli?
Oh, hey! Coffee?
Caffeine intake already at max capacity.
Hey, Mills, thank you
so much for helping me.
My job and reputation
are also on the line.
Of course!
Let's go!
(bright mellow music)
Remind me of the name
of the first stop again.
-Matilda's.
-Right!
Yesterday I found a
scarf worn by Lee Radziwill
in perfect condition with
this gorgeous buckle pattern,
in orange.
It was 70's chic, Hermes. Mwah!
So you bought a
Hermes scarf yesterday?
Hermes! I didn't buy it. I touched it.
Have you ever touched
an Hermes scarf?
No!
They're made in Brazil,
and the silkworms only
eat mulberry leaves.
Huh! Yeah, I'd always wondered
about their dietary habits.
(tires screech) (horn honking)
Ah, it's just up here.
Oh, I think I can do something with this.
Like clean windows?
Think Fairytale Fantasy!
Plus, Rini Jean looks great in plaid.
And you would look great in this.
(Mills laughs)
The '90s called. They wanna apologize.
(button clicks)
Oh, hey, this must be the
same time I was here yesterday
because all of a sudden
she couldn't talk to me
because her show came on.
Hey, Matilda? Is this what time
your show usually comes on?
No, it's streaming. I
watch it whenever I want.
I must've been boring her.
Excuse me?
Have you had any
customers coming in lately
asking about Elizabeth Taylor items?
Occasionally, yeah.
Really? Who most recently?
Ah, you!
Oh! I see.
Ah, who before me?
Ah, well, didn't you ask yesterday?
Right!
Remember I said I have a client
that's gonna wear an
Elizabeth Taylor dress.
I was just wondering if
anyone else had asked.
Um, yeah!
Some people came in
wanting vintage looks
to wear to the Cosmo Gala.
I don't know who.
(airy pensive music)
Well, I guess that wasn't very helpful.
I think last night's
starting to catch up with me.
Here!
Oh, I didn't mean it like that.
No, you're gonna need
both hands to get us those.
It's on me.
Two, please?
Mm!
Oh, this is so beautiful.
Yeah!
I like to come here when I need to think.
[Kayli] Hmm!
(birds singing)
So how'd you become a stylist?
What? Oh, I'm sorry.
Is that a weird question?
No! No.
I just, I suddenly felt like
we were on an awkward first date.
And not that this is a date!
I mean, I'm just saying like, I was.
You know what I mean!
Well, if it wasn't awkward before!
Here's to being awkward.
(Mills laughs)
I became a stylist because, you know,
we do more than just picking out clothes.
Of course! You also pick out shoes.
Seriously though, I would love to know.
Well, I grew up in the Pacific Northwest
in this little town, and my grandmother,
she taught me to sew
before I can even remember.
And she would reuse everything.
Curtains would become dresses
and jeans would become bags.
And, you know, there's
so many things to up cycle
at a thrift store.
I mean, there's riches to find.
You don't have to buy new, honestly.
I'm gonna jump off my soapbox.
(Mills laughs)
After college, I moved to LA
and I did a bunch of
high profile internships
and worked every single day.
So you took off nights. Lightweight.
(Kayli laughs)
I mean, workhorse is the job.
Everyone's frantically
tracking every collection,
clients will text you at
11:00 PM the night before
for a morning meeting, and it's chaos.
And honestly, it's so fun.
Sounds a bit like it's
part art, part science.
Yeah, I like that.
Celine has just been
amazing to watch work.
I mostly stay in the background
and just provide raw materials for her.
(wistful romantic music)
I still have some
shopping to do. Shall we?
Let's go!
I feel so weird. I told
you my whole life story.
I keep talking and I
know nothing about you.
Well, you are the prime suspect.
Yeah! You know, I've
been thinking about that.
Why me?
I mean, you're the one with
access to all the rooms.
Hmm!
No more interrogation
until you tell me
something about yourself.
All right.
I've been at the Park Lux
Chicago for the last four years,
and before that I was in the military.
(shoppers chattering)
You're gonna have to
give me more than that.
(Mills laughs)
I was Army, Delta Force.
Wow!
Oh, you know what Delta Force is?
Not at all.
It's primarily special ops
targeting mostly direct action
and hostage rescue.
High-value targets.
Still no idea.
Covert mission units, basically.
You don't hear very much
about us, for good reason.
Oh! You're like a real life hero.
I don't know anyone
with this background.
-Honorably discharged.
-No longer active service.
Well, if this is the last place
that you visited yesterday,
I think that just about covers it.
I'll see you back at the hotel.
Yeah, of course!
I'll let you know if I hear anything.
Thank you.
(bouncy pensive music)
I'm just devastated. Not for
me, for you, for the company.
I'm not gonna lie. This isn't
ideal for Celine Lang Inc.
I know.
Who wants to lend rare clothing
to a company who loses things?
Plus the cost alone!
But then again, there's insurance.
And it's not over yet. Maybe
they'll find the thief.
Until then, I heard it's a
beautiful day in Chicago.
Have you had a hot dog yet?
Don't ask for ketchup.
Honestly, I can't think past
what I'm gonna put Rini Jean in tonight.
(Celine giggles)
Kayli, I know I'm just a Gen Xer talking,
but work-life balance is actually a thing.
Take some time for yourself.
It helps with the styling.
Oh, sorry. I can't hear
you. It's cutting out!
(mouth buzzing)
Celine, are you there?
I'm off to the wedding.
Next time you see me,
I'll be a mother-in-law.
Have fun. Enjoy!
(mellow cheerful music)
(staff chattering) (guests chattering)
Excuse me. Kayli?
Where were you just now?
What do you mean? I was with you.
No, I mean, after I left
and before you got here.
-Oh, I was on the phone.
-Why? What's going on?
A very rare vintage
watch just went missing
from a pre-gala luncheon
right around the corner.
(playful tense music)
Oh great!
(mellow cheerful music)
How's it going in there?
[Perry] Great! Come check her out.
Okay.
(uptempo dance music)
[Singers] Hey!
Hey!
[Singer] Woo!
[Singers] Hey!
Hey!
The capelet is totally working now.
Welcome to the Cute
Zone! Population, you!
This is giving a little
bit of a Dior vibe, 1950s,
capturing the essence of
elegance and sophistication.
Crafted for a woman
who wears her strength
as effortlessly as her style.
I love it. I love it so much!
Look, the pockets are big enough
you don't even need a purse.
Oh! Every woman's dream.
(wistful triumphant music)
(mellow tense music)
(Kayli sighs)
Nothing like a banana for dinner.
(visitor knocks)
[Mills] Security!
Hi!
Can I interest you in a drink?
Got this funny feeling that
you haven't had a chance to
relax since you got here.
It's amazing what adrenaline
and sheer panic can do.
Who are your friends?
Oh, we just wanted to
quickly do a little upgrade
on the security measures in your room.
Inspect all the windows,
mount some exterior video surveillance,
and do a protective sweep.
Oh? Okay.
(playful pensive music)
So is this to watch me or to protect me?
'Cause the dress is gone.
It'll make me feel better. Come on!
Let's go downstairs and
let them do their work.
What? I'm in my lounge wear.
Huh! Is this different
from your day wear?
It's subtle, but there.
Huh!
I'll wait.
(elevator bell dings)
[Kayli] What is this place?
It's an old speakeasy.
[Kayli] Oh!
Pretty cool, huh?
Yeah!
It reminds me of this
place that I used to go to
when we were stationed in Prague.
Did you like the army?
Apparently, Al Capone
used to come here.
You're avoiding my question.
I'm very military curious.
You are very curious, period.
(drink splashing)
Yes, I did enjoy my time in the military.
I like to be out doing things
that are making a difference.
You know?
Or at least trying to.
Then why did you leave?
Honorable discharge.
Believe it or not, torn ACL.
That's it?
[Mills] Pretty much.
Years of training
sidetracked by a ligament tear?
How do you know about
these years of training?
I may have done a
little internet research.
Ah-huh!
But seriously, such a
heroic job to end like that?
Accidents happen.
Are you sure you weren't on
one of those for-rent scooters?
You can tell me. Everyone falls on those.
Or wait! Were you doing
the "Risky Business" move?
You know,
where Tom Cruise slides
across his living room floor.
You're really not gonna
let this go, are you?
I'm just being silly.
It's okay if it's private.
No, no! It's fine.
I don't mind talking about it.
It was in the Helmand Province
and I caught two in the leg.
Sorry.
Military called it exceptional valor,
doctors called it
permanent nerve damage.
I mean, I'm fine. Just
not according to them.
That's terrible.
Well, they were gonna
take care of me, you know?
Put me at a cushy desk job
for the rest of my life, but,
no thanks, you know?
Mm!
I still kind of wish it was
the "Risky Business" move.
(Mills chuckles)
(airy romantic music)
I'm starving. I saw this
little cafe around the corner.
I think I know the spot.
Great!
Woo! (Bell jingles)
Oh, this place is so cute.
Hey, look! They still have these!
These were my favorite.
Why am I not surprised
that wearable candy is your favorite?
Hmm!
Hey, Mills!
-Hey!
-There he is!
Liv, Phil, this is Kayli.
-Welcome!
-Oh!
Hi there!
They live above the cafe.
These are my aunties-sisters.
I come here for coffee every morning.
So we adopted him.
Um, two Italian beefs?
(bright playful music)
They're sandwiches
and they're delicious.
Oh! Yeah, sure!
Please!
And I can take care of
that light fixture for you.
Oh! The air filter needs replacing too.
Okay!
Oh, careful. There's a spider!
I'm fine.
Oh, don't bother the spider. (Chuckles)
How many security chiefs does it take
to change a light bulb?
Why do I come here and
subject myself to this?
One, but first he has to lecture you about
proper lighting protocols.
And all the emergency
exits in case of fires.
(group chuckles)
I see you really do know him.
(wistful music)
(Mills sighs)
(aunts applauding)
Do you ever go to any of these parties
that you create these looks for?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I prefer to stay out of the spotlight.
Me too!
(horns honking)
You want some dessert?
Oh, I'm so full. That
sandwich was amazing!
I got you something.
Hmm?
For later!
That's so sweet!
(bike bell rings)
-Watch out!
-Oh!
(airy romantic music)
Thanks.
Yeah.
Hey, Mills?
I really want you to trust me.
Please believe me!
I had nothing to do with taking
the Elizabeth Taylor dress.
It doesn't matter if I believe you or not.
It matters to me!
Whether I believe you or
not really isn't the issue.
We need official proof.
If we wanna keep our jobs,
we need to find this dress.
That's starting to feel
like such a long shot.
Not necessarily.
When these thefts happen in multiples,
there's often a pattern.
So far, three vintage
pieces have been stolen
in the same week, all from
people related to the Cosmo Gala.
And I don't have an alibi
for any of them, right?
In my line of work, you have
to put facts over feelings.
And I take my job very serious.
(horns honking)
All that being said, (wistful music)
I absolutely believe you, Kayli Simone.
(Kayli sighs)
Ah!
What's happening?
-Hide me!
-From who?
(bright tense music)
Her!
Miss Thorpe!
Let's go!
[Porter] May I take your bags?
That's the actress Vivien Thorpe.
Okay, so are you like a super fan, or?
No. I worked with her once.
Oh! And?
It didn't go well. Goodnight!
(bouncy tense music)
(candy crunches)
(somber music)
(airy bouncy music)
You mind holding down
the fort for a while?
Absolutely!
[Mills] Thank you!
Okay. I'll see you later.
-Bye. Thank you.
-[Employee] Of course!
We need to talk.
Big mistake! Big! Huge!
"Pretty Woman!" Remember?
No! But I do have new intel.
I'm really good, thanks. How about you?
We can't discuss it here.
Your next mission, should
you decide to accept it.
I always accept my next mission.
And why are you talking
like that? Let's go!
Have you ever seen a movie?
(cheerful mellow music)
Kayli, it's occurred to me that our culprit
might be hiding in plain sight.
I have a plan and I think it
could help the both of us.
Does it involve body
armor and can I bedazzle it?
So the Carlyles never
came for their hotel room.
Apparently Mrs. Carlyle got
poison ivy at their lake house.
Sorry. Who are the Carlyles?
The pickle magnates from Indiana.
It's not jarring my memory.
(airy playful music)
I'm not gonna say "Get it?"
The Carlyles come for
the Cosmo Gala every year
and I've gotten to know them.
They're very nice people.
Very down to earth.
Huge supporters of the arts.
Anyway, this just arrived for them.
(papers rustling)
These are the most coveted
invites in the fashion world.
What? Skydeck Cocktail Party.
Summer Runway Show.
Mirabelle's Pre-Gala Soiree.
I wanna grow pickles!
I think you mean cucumbers.
You really know how to ruin a punchline.
Our thiefs profile is
someone on the inside.
It doesn't get any more inside than that.
Okay?
So I'm thinking our best bet
is to attend all of these parties as guests,
therefore, not drawing any
attention to ourselves.
You know all these vintage
pieces better than anyone.
So if you see something,
you say something.
So your plan is to go to parties?
Go to the Cosmo Gala itself?
Yes!
If you wanna find this dress,
we need to go undercover!
Can we even do that?
I mean, these tickets are
technically non-transferrable.
But who's gonna know?
The Carlyles said, "Just get rid of them."
They're not gonna mind.
Do you remember that time you said that
we should actually sneak
into all the Cosmo parties
as other people?
That was crazy, right?
Look at it this way.
If there's another theft, I'm your alibi.
Yeah, my mom always said find a man
who will testify on my behalf.
(Mills laughs)
Hey, look, this one's about to start.
The Fashion Faux Pas Party.
Should we go?
Can we really? Like, right now?
Finding this Elizabeth Taylor dress
is my number one priority.
Well, the '90s called,
and Mr. Carlyle loves a bold print.
I accept this mission.
(upbeat music)
(horns honking)
Do these make me look mysterious
or like a thief on the run?
I think I need sunglasses
just to look at those sunglasses.
(Kayli laughs)
Oh!
(walkers chattering) (horns honking)
Oh yes!
-Oh!
-Boop!
That's perfect.
(Mills laughs)
Well, at least the strap
is genuine fake leather.
(Kayli laughs)
And look! Socks with
no commitment issues.
(Mills laughs)
Oh, that reminds me.
Would you do me the great
honor, Mrs. Carlyle?
This is the best day of my fake life.
We have nowhere to go but up.
(Kayli laughs)
-Hmm!
-Look at us!
We could totally fit in
in a downtown Chicago
summer fashion party.
Wait!
You do know that this is a
Fashion Faux Pas Party, right?
Like, fashion mishaps.
Mix matching prints with
stripes, that kind of thing.
Yeah, that's what I said. I love it!
Although styles always
do come back around.
And with this crowd,
it could be next week.
I think you look great.
And I think it's really cool
how you pulled this all together
from just street vendors.
Style's not about having money, right?
It's about having a good eye.
Love is in the details.
(wistful music)
Oh! Are we really doing this?
Delta Force specializes
in reconnaissance missions,
and I've done more than one
where I've had to go undercover.
You know what the secret is?
Nerves of steel!
X-ray vision!
Almost. Situational awareness.
Oh! In case we have to do the limbo?
(Mills chuckles)
Always have an exit strategy.
Never turn your back on the room.
Position yourself so you can observe,
and use distraction
techniques when necessary.
Hmm! Sounds so much
simpler than I thought.
Just stay close to me.
Listen, I have two basic party skills,
not remembering anyone's name
and always missing the appetizer tray.
That's perfect!
And if I start rambling about
modern satellite technology,
just stop me.
I will.
(guests chattering)
(uptempo dance music)
(guests cheering)
What are you trying to do?
Save me from the goat cheese crostini?
Quick! Laugh like I
said something funny.
Wah! (Laughing)
Okay, new plan.
We're just gonna pretend
that we're whispering.
Why are we whispering?
Oh no! Vivien Thorpe.
Gosh, I really don't wanna see her.
Okay, quick, create a distraction.
Grab a drink, throw it, and I'll run out.
What's the deal with you two?
-Well!
-Tell me!
(Vivien laughs)
She's wearing a bedazzled bandana.
Okay!
If I'm not mistaken,
that is the same one
worn by Dolly Parton,
or it's a really good copy.
Nice situational awareness.
Thanks!
(electricity buzzes) (guests gasp)
Oh!
You okay?
Yeah. We can just stay here.
I got you.
(wistful romantic music)
(electricity buzzes) (guests cheer)
(uptempo dance music)
I'll get us a drink.
Yeah, that's a, that's a,
that's a good, good plan.
I'm, ah, I'm gonna stay right here.
(guests cheering)
Thank you.
(uptempo dance music continues)
They come talking
(electricity buzzes) (guests groan)
(Vivien gasps)
(mysterious tense music)
[Mills] Everyone remain calm!
I'm so sorry, everyone. It's my fault.
I tripped and fell. (Chuckles)
[Mills] It's gone.
Uh-oh!
Where's my bandana?
Everyone check your belongings.
Come with me, ma'am.
(airy pensive music)
(patrons chattering)
You okay?
You should search me.
No, I know you didn't take it.
But everyone else is
being searched. Why not me?
What if I was framed?
Okay.
(Kayli sighs)
(bright tense music)
(bright tense music continues)
Kayli.
(Mills laughs)
Oops.
(cheerful instrumental music)
(phone ringing)
Hello?
[Caller] I'm calling
for Ms. Mikayla Simone.
Spam a lot.
Please take me off your call list.
Excuse me? I'm looking
for the fashion stylist.
I'm so sorry.
Scammers are usually the only
people that call me Mikayla.
This is Kayli Simone.
Very well. You're the one
we've been trying to reach.
I have an opportunity to discuss.
It sounds like Miranda Priestly.
That's not a real person,
and she's not British.
I'm calling on behalf
of Sir Oliver Kenwood,
who would be most
grateful for a meeting.
He's often known as Ollie K.
Ollie K wants a meeting with me?
You should go!
Shh!
Mr. Kenwood requires your
services rather urgently
and very discreetly.
I've been instructed to send a car for you
at your earliest convenience.
It's confidential.
Vintage tee troubles? Denim dilemma?
Can I bring my assistant, Mills?
Of course!
I'll text the details.
Oh!
Let me do your hair before you go.
Okay.
So who is this Ollie K guy?
Oh! Well, he used to be
known as Oliver Kenwood.
Oliver Kenwood?
As in like Crush Cruise Oliver Kenwood?
Yes!
But I didn't peg you as a boy band fan.
Huh!
Number one, that is sexist.
And number two, they
were very talented.
And number three, I happen
to have little sisters.
Mm!
Well, now he is all grown up
and he's known as Ollie K.
He's kind of like a big
deal all around the world.
Wow! I had no idea
that was the same person.
You all right? You're fidgeting.
Ah, yeah!
Yeah?
Kayli, if we're gonna work together,
you gotta be straight with me.
Yeah, of course. I agree!
Good!
So what's the deal with Vivien Thorpe?
Okay! (Somber wistful music)
But don't make fun of me.
I would never use your
vulnerable moments against you.
A few years ago, I had
my first really big job
and my first big break
was to dress Vivien Thorpe
for this charity event.
And I spent weeks repurposing
this beautiful silk dressing
robe of Audrey Hepburn's.
Oh, it was gorgeous.
(Mills laughs)
And she's modest.
It was gorgeous and completely invisible.
Oh.
It was the exact same
pale blue as the backdrop.
I never even thought to look that up.
And in all of the pictures, she
just completely disappeared.
She was like a floating
head with hands and it...
It's like this viral meme.
I must have missed it.
How?
Okay, so you just gave up
after one little setback?
No, she was up for this
really big superhero role
in this major franchise, and
all of the headlines were like,
"What is she auditioning
for? The Invisible Woman?"
Or "Hollywood's Disappearing Act!"
Ugh!
And then?
She didn't get the role.
You know, she was like a joke.
My stupid mistake
changed the entire
trajectory of her career,
of her life really.
Kayli, none of that is your fault.
Well, anyway, after that
I just decided, you know,
I'm not meant for that
kind of responsibility.
I love my job, love this world,
but I don't wanna make
the final decision.
That's for someone else.
(footsteps clicking)
Mr. Kenwood is ready to see you now.
Rini Jean is properly vibing
with your looks, you know.
Oh, thank you so much.
It's not really me. It's my boss, Celine.
No, it's not. It's completely her.
Right!
So this is well confidential, yeah?
Proper hush-hush.
Swear on your NDAs and all that.
-Yes, absolutely!
-100%!
Brilliant.
So at the Cosmo Gala,
I'm gonna get down on one
knee for my girl, Rini Jean.
-Oh, that's awesome!
-Congratulations!
Means the absolute world
to me, if I'm honest.
It's gotta be bloomin' perfect, doesn't it?
Yeah! Proper fairytale
moment and all that.
Give her the happily
ever after she deserves.
Yes! Yeah, that is the way to do it.
My man. (Mills laughs)
Oh, sorry! (Fists thud)
Oh! Sorry. Go!
I'll get you next time.
Right!
So Kayli, do you think
that you could style her
with this moment in mind?
I don't mean to step on your
creative vision or anything,
but perhaps no gloves.
Oh, of course. Absolutely!
Brilliant.
The ring was made in 1821,
this gorgeous sapphire, proper blue,
like looking at the night
sky over Glastonbury.
Hmm!
(wistful romantic music)
I know the perfect dress.
Yeah! If we can find it.
We have to find the dress
before the Cosmo Gala.
I don't want Rini Jean's
perfect moment to be ruined.
Now she finds it urgent!
What can I say? I
love a romantic gesture.
So it wasn't enough
that your entire professional
reputation was on the line?
Not to mention my career and promotion.
What? What promotion?
Ah, it's, ah, it's nothing!
It's just, um, it's just a little
something that I'm up for.
Who knows?
I think you knows!
It's the head of international security
for the whole Park Lux hotel chain.
Wow!
Yeah.
What does that mean?
It means that I would travel
around from hotel to hotel,
meeting with all the security teams,
and making sure that
they're following protocol,
have the proper equipment,
checking for efficiencies.
I would manage and coordinate
every security team worldwide.
Well, that sounds interesting.
Okay, maybe I'm underselling it.
Okay, think gelato in Rome,
long walks on the cliffs of Ireland,
and dinner in New Orleans.
You had me at gelato.
You know, ever since I left the military,
I've just kind of missed
being on the move.
I don't know.
I'm not sure I was built
to be in the same place
with the same people day after day.
Right!
It's not just the travel that I miss though.
It's the sense of a mission.
You know? The meaning
attached to the work.
Don't get me wrong, I love Chicago,
but some of these European Park Luxes,
they regularly host diplomats.
That's the kind of security work
that I would love to be a part of again.
I hope you get it.
Thanks!
All right!
Ah, have the Carlyles been
invited to anything today?
They sure have!
The Frenzy Fashion Pop-Up
Show at this address.
Yeah, that's just around
the corner. Should we go?
I don't think we'll find
anything about the dress.
Yeah, you're probably right.
But it might be fun.
(bright lively music)
I mean, it says it's supposed
to be right here, but.
Designers do this all the time.
They put their pop-up shows
in these cool, unexpected places.
Come on!
(uptempo dance music)
Don't I, don't I
Don't need to know ya
Don't I, don't I
You seen anything?
Yeah, empire waistlines
are coming back.
Hmm?
What? I'm multitasking.
You know, I'm also a fashion detective.
It's kind of like being bilingual.
Mm!
(lively dance music)
(guests whistling) (guests cheering)
What's happening?
I think the show's starting.
Oh!
Fantastic piece.
Do you know her?
I love the lace.
Is it something that
you would put a client in?
Mm-hmm. It's gorgeous.
Oh!
Hello.
It's beautiful.
This is my first fashion show.
(heels clicking)
Oh! Uh?
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not a real model.
(Kayli laughing)
Kayli, what is going on?
No, no, no. You're making friends!
Ah!
Hello. (Guests cheering)
Remember your situational awareness!
Oh, certainly. Yes.
Jacket's coming off.
(guests whistling)
Yes!
Woo!
Settle down! (Kayli laughs)
We're dancing now.
Yes!
(Mills laughs)
(Kayli laughs)
Put your phone away!
No, it's too good!
(guests cheering)
Okay.
Your turn!
(Kayli laughing) (camera snapping)
Yep, that's it. That's it.
Is that it? (Phone dings)
(lively dance music continues)
(Kayli sighs)
Perfect. Great.
(guests cheering)
(cheerful pensive music)
I have 36 hours to pull together
an entire new Cosmo
Gala look for Rini Jean.
(Matilda gasps)
Her identical twin is alive!
Oh!
Look at that lipstick. That
is definitely an evil twin.
Not to mention a look for myself
and Mills for the gala as well.
(Kayli sighs)
Oh, Matilda!
What is it, hun?
Oh! Curtain sheers.
If I'm not mistaken,
this is pure silk georgette
from the early 20th century.
Look, this twisted weave gives
it this beautiful pattern.
This is exquisite.
Is that so? Um, how
about a hundred bucks?
Oh no! This is precious.
This is hand-dyed in the
most beautiful deep indigo.
You have to get this appraised.
Kayli, stop!
You are probably the
only person in Chicago
who would know what this is.
You recognized the possibility
and you will let it shine.
It's yours for 120 bucks.
Right!
Plus tax!
(door creaks) (bell jingles)
What can I get you, love? (Laughs)
How about a double espresso
and a lead on this
Elizabeth Taylor dress?
Well, this is too much work even for you!
Too bad you can't find the time
to take that girl out on a proper date.
[Liv] Mm-hmm!
Well, what if I told you that
I'm taking Kayli to the Cosmo Gala?
You're kidding! What?
What are you gonna wear?
Apparently, that's the big question.
(bouncy playful music)
We will be right back. Come on!
(airy wistful music)
So you really do like her?
What happened to settling down
with a nice girl from Chicago?
Oh, every hear of an airplane?
This was our father's.
He wore it one time when he
took our mom to a wedding
when we were little girls.
He was a groomsman.
I remember Liv and I thought
they were the most glamorous
couple in the world.
I love that.
Used to say it was the
only time in his life
he ever got dressed up.
I think it's really
special that you kept this.
Liv and I, we've lived above
this cafe our whole lives,
and neither one of us
ever had kids of our own,
so we would be so proud if
instead you might wear it.
(wistful inspirational music)
I think that's the best
idea I've heard all day.
Second best. (Chuckles)
First, you have to take
Kayli out on a date.
It's a work date.
Life goes by fast, Mills.
Don't miss the good parts.
Mills? Got a minute?
Yes! Of course, sir. (Clears throat)
Good kid. Kind of overeager.
He's already asked to apply for your job
when you get the promotion.
Oh!
So any word yet?
Four thefts, different pieces of clothing.
Seemingly unrelated,
but all at places or events
surrounding the gala week.
Beyond that, no firm leads, sir.
Corporate called.
Look, I understand.
If I don't find this dress,
there's absolutely no way
I'm getting this promotion.
We don't know that.
But we do.
I'm behind you all the way.
(airy pensive music)
Woo! Rini Jean's blowing up!
This got 1.3 million views and
it was posted five hours ago.
I think I should send
a photo of this to Celine
and see what she thinks.
No! Girl, you shouldn't!
I'm watching it happen in real time.
You are creating these looks!
And now you've got a hot
date to the Cosmo Gala,
this is your big fairytale moment.
You should embrace it.
My job is to dress the stars. Not be one.
I have to worry about Celine's company
and Rini Jean's reputation.
Oh, whatever!
You're too scared to see your own worth
because once you go for
something, then you could fail.
That's not true.
Is that true?
I can't keep solving
all your deeply-seeded
emotional struggles.
I need to get a red light facial.
See you later, sweetie.
Bye!
(wistful pensive music)
(visitor knocks)
Everything okay?
I have an admission.
Come in!
(playful pensive music)
I'm sorry.
Hey!
I promise I won't use your
vulnerable moments against you.
(mellow pensive music)
I don't know how to dance.
Hey! (Kayli laughs)
Hey, the Carlyles need
to know how to cut a rug
and I don't wanna blow our cover.
I think we'll be fine!
My threat assessment says
the dance floor is a level five risk.
Hmm!
To my dignity.
(Kayli laughs)
Would you show me a few moves?
Ah?
Well, there's not a whole
lot of room in here.
I know a place.
(airy inspirational music)
Oh, so beautiful.
Okay, come on!
(mellow romantic music)
Oh, oh, oh
-Okay.
-Okay!
Start simple.
Yep!
Hand?
-Other hand.
-Okay.
There it is!
Okay.
Walk towards me.
I never thought
To the side.
There you go!
Oh!
-Back.
-Back?
There you are. Okay. Side.
I was a broken
Ow! Sorry!
Maybe this is a bad idea.
I didn't know Delta Force quit so easily.
It's never easy
Ready?
Being alone
Slow!
But no one can save me
Quick, quick, back.
You're doing great. That's
it! You're doing it!
-Yeah?
-Yes!
Quick, quick.
Slow.
-Good!
-Quick, quick.
Oh!
Dream that one day
Now dip me.
-No, thank you.
-I trust you.
One day I find someone like you
But there's something in
I've always wanted to do that!
You did it!
The way you hold me
You're actually doing really great!
Is that right?
I've got a pretty good teacher.
This way!
-[Mills] Oh!
-There we go.
Something in the way you show me
No one knows
Someone once told me that
love is in the details.
You make me believe I
(door clicks)
Sorry! I
I thought heard something.
It's okay. No!
Thank you, Devon.
Thank you!
(both laughing)
I feel like I just got
caught by the principal.
Yep!
Well, we have a very big
day tomorrow, Mr. Carlyle,
so we should probably head in.
Ah?
If you think a little interruption like that's
gonna stop me.
(dramatic romantic music)
(lips smacking)
Thanks for the dance lesson.
Anytime.
(upbeat pensive music)
Rini Jean looked okay, right?
I mean, even if it wasn't
the Elizabeth Taylor dress.
No, Rini Jean looked amazing!
Kind of like how you will
if you'd just sit still for a minute!
You don't have to do like
a bunch of stuff to me.
The inspo for your makeover
is Grace Kelly in "To Catch a Thief."
For good luck! Get it?
You don't have to say "Get it." (laughs)
So what are you wearing anyway?
(hair product spraying)
So I deconstructed
this big 1950s prom dress
and I upcycled this, like,
tulle adjacent situation
into an asymmetrical silhouette.
It's pink and poofy!
Oh! The fashion gods are slow clapping.
(phone dings)
It's Mills!
You got it bad, sweetie.
(bouncy playful music)
We kissed!
You kissed?
(both screaming cheerfully)
(crowd chattering)
(elevator bell dings)
(pensive romantic music)
(inspirational romantic music)
(inspirational romantic music continues)
Reporting for duty!
What?
You are so beautiful.
(wistful romantic music)
You look very handsome
yourself, soldier.
(vehicle whooshes)
Ah! My chariot awaits.
Oh, I think that might be
a bit of a liability issue, ma'am.
Oh, that's okay. I feel
very safe with my date.
Oh! So this is a date?
A work date!
Mm-mm! No, you said it.
I'm your date.
(Kayli gasps)
(cheerful romantic music)
You're right!
I will keep you safe.
But maybe we try this instead.
(horn honks)
Shall we?
Oh! Did you wear the socks?
(both laugh)
All right!
(horns honking)
(triumphant music)
(crowd chattering) (cameras snapping)
(uptempo dance music)
(cameras snapping)
(crowd cheering)
(cameras snapping)
They look incredible.
She looks like a fairytale
who wrote her own happily ever after.
Bingo!
(crowd cheering) (cameras snapping)
(crowd cheering) (crowd applauding)
Celine Lang Inc. Did very well tonight.
You did very well tonight.
That's not the Elizabeth Taylor dress.
Which made your job
even harder this week.
Kayli, I am so proud of you!
Don't you see that?
(crowd cheering) (cameras snapping)
That's all you, your ideas! You did that.
Shall we?
Yes! Wait, one more thing.
Oh!
Those long lens
cameras on the red carpet
pick up everything.
Thank you, Mr. Carlyle.
My pleasure, Mrs. Carlyle.
(airy triumphant music)
(crowd chattering) (cameras snapping)
(airy triumphant music continues)
(mellow upbeat music)
That big skirt with all
the mirrors appliqued to it
in the shape of a heart sort
of evokes Tiffany glass.
Nice situational awareness.
Thanks! Look at those
thigh-high sparkle boots. Woo!
How do all these emergency
exits lead out tonight?
I'm sure that most of the
museum has been shut off.
Look, there's a woodland
fairy. She's so beautiful!
Hey, if for any reason
we get separated tonight,
I'll meet you at the cheese station.
Okay.
I'll be the assistant
stylist wearing used tulle
who's about to get fired
for losing an Elizabeth Taylor dress.
(lips smack)
I would know you anywhere.
I'll get us drinks.
Okay!
(slow-paced upbeat dance music)
(guests chattering)
(Rini Jean gasps)
I didn't know you were gonna be here!
Hi!
I feel so capable and strong.
Oh, like I can take on the world.
Well, that is accurate.
Aw!
Someone's looking for you.
What?
Mrs. Carlyle! You remember Buck?
Buck! From Buck's Burgers!
I heard somebody say
the Carlyles were here,
and I had to meet you.
Hi!
You're the Carlyles, right?
Mm-hmm! Mm-hmm!
Mm-hmm!
Really big dill pickle company.
(Mills laughs)
(bright playful music)
Ah, I'm Buck of Buck's Burgers!
Buck!
You're our pickle supplier!
Yes, we are!
We are!
Buck!
We are!
We are.
I...
Buck! You're the Buck?
I just love your burgers. (Chuckles)
I wanna hear this story later.
So tell me how you got started.
Really big dill pickle company. Huh!
Who knew?
(Mills laughs)
So? (Clears throat)
Shall we dance?
You know what? I think we
should split up. Do a circle.
See if anyone looks suspicious.
Check you out.
(glasses clink) (playful cheerful music)
(uptempo dance music)
(guests chattering)
All day long she's trying to
I'll be right back.
Kayli, is that you?
(Kayli sighs)
Kayli! It's been years.
You look gorgeous.
I'm not surprised. Your eye is to die for.
Let me guess. All vintage,
all one-of-a-kind.
Love it!
Hello, Vivien.
I've wanted to say this
to you for years now.
I just wanted to apologize
for the whole invisible dress situation
because it was completely my fault
and I will never forgive
myself and I'm so, so sorry!
Honey, thank you.
To be honest, it was really hard.
After I left the superhero movie,
I thought my career was over.
But out of nowhere, I got this little Indie
that turned into a lot
of buzz for award season,
and then I was back on track.
That blue screen snafu was
the best twist of fate.
I've been wanting to thank you for years.
Are you kidding?
That little Indie was
where I met my husband.
Oh! Congratulations!
So thank you, Kayli. I mean it.
Who's that?
Um?
Don't keep him waiting. We'll talk later.
Okay. Bye.
Hey!
Hey, what's going on?
I thought I was saving
you from Vivien Thorpe.
Oh, that's so sweet.
I've always got your back.
Hmm! You're never gonna
believe what just happened.
Apparently the invisible
dress thing was a good thing.
She just thanked me for it.
Okay, so let me get this straight.
You have avoided being a
full stylist for years now
because you'd imagine that
you'd ruin someone's life.
In reality, you hadn't and
everything is perfectly fine.
I mean, when you put it that way.
When I put it that way?
Kayli, you are a wildly talented person.
You have to believe in yourself.
Yeah!
Well, let's not rush into anything.
That's fair.
I'll go first.
What?
Watching the stars align
(Kayli gasps)
Look at you! Between you and I
Circling in space
(mellow uptempo music)
Clouds up top, worlds collide
Something 'bout the way we levitate
(dancers chattering)
(mellow uptempo music continues)
(mellow uptempo music continues)
Oh, my goodness!
(Rini Jean gasping)
[Dancers] Oh!
Rini Jean, in every fairytale
there's a moment where magic happens.
(airy romantic music)
Standing here with you,
I know I found my magic.
Will you build a happily
ever after with me?
[Guests] Aw!
I've never been more sure of anything.
Yes! Yes!
(guests applauding) (guests cheering)
What's wrong?
The ring. It was, it was
just here. I just had it.
What?
Oh no!
It was, it was just here.
When was the last time you saw it?
I took it out of the
box. I put it in my pocket.
[Mills] Okay. Where exactly?
[Ollie] Um, red carpet, I was outside.
[Mills] Be very specific.
I was with security. I just left the car.
At bottom of the stairs on the red carpet,
I took it out of the box.
Nobody else was there!
[Mills] We'll find it.
(mysterious pensive music)
Hey! Hey!
Hey, stop!
Hey!
(footsteps clopping)
Hey, hey, hey!
I know you're Vivien Thorpe's
bodyguard. Where's the ring?
I'm gonna call the cops!
I'll tell you what.
You let me walk outta
here, you can have it.
No, no. I can't let you do that.
Problem?
No, no! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
You capture me, the ring's gone forever.
Ah! (Body thuds)
(body slams) (Mills grunts)
(Kayli sighs)
Nice catch!
Thanks.
(bright romantic music)
(guests cheering) (guests applauding)
(guests chattering)
(slow-tempo dance music)
Well done, Mrs. Carlyle.
I couldn't have done it
without you, Mr. Carlyle.
I'm glad you're okay.
That was kind of risky.
Honestly, I can't believe I followed him.
But there was so much at stake!
I know! An engagement.
My job! Celine's
company! Your promotion.
I wish we could stay here forever.
How about one last dance?
Okay.
Mills, sorry to interrupt.
That's okay.
The guy admitted everything.
It was crimes of opportunity.
He was grabbing things at parties.
We recovered all the items,
except the Elizabeth Taylor dress.
It's still missing.
Thank you.
(somber airy music)
I'll keep you updated.
Thank you!
(guests chattering)
I feel like I let you down.
No! No, there could be still
a chance we find the dress.
It's highly unlikely.
These standalone thefts, they're
usually long gone by now.
Well, I'm gonna keep looking
for the sake of my job.
We need to follow that thread and,
well, that was a terrible pun.
Look at everything you've
accomplished this week.
Celine would never get rid of you.
I hope you're right.
I just wanna go back to
the way my job used to be.
My normal life.
Yeah! I guess me too.
Um, when you get that promotion,
you're gonna come to
the LA location, right?
Mm-hmm.
Of course. Yeah! I'll be
there every seven months.
If I get it.
Okay! (Somber music)
Hey. Come here.
We had fun playing
make believe, didn't we?
This has been my favorite fairytale.
I'm sorry that it ends tomorrow.
You should go before I
say something embarrassing.
Don't worry about that now.
That thread pun already did the trick.
(Kayli laughs)
(mellow wistful music)
Hi, Celine! Hi! How was the wedding?
I have so many photos to show you.
It was a dream!
But the real headline is:
I heard you may deserve some time off.
Yeah, I was afraid of that.
The look you created for the engagement
will be remembered forever.
Like in a good way?
Oh, I could feel the fun
in those looks. The joy!
You had a good time in Chicago.
Well, yes, but I was a
little distracted, you know,
wondering if maybe your
business will be bankrupted.
Oh no!
I've been getting calls all
morning from new clients.
Business is booming!
That's amazing!
Wow!
(seagulls squawking)
Hey, Mills! I talked to Celine and...
Oh! (Phone rings)
I'm sorry, Kayli. Mills is gone.
Oh, no big deal. It's lunchtime. Yeah.
No, he left for good.
He gave notice.
He doesn't work for Park Lux anymore.
What? Why?
You know Mills.
He felt it would be better
for the reputation of Park
Lux hotels if he left.
I tried to convince him otherwise,
but he didn't want the hotel to suffer.
That's ridiculous.
And if it's anyone's fault, it's mine.
He turned in his work phone too.
(somber wistful music)
Okay, thanks!
(guests chattering)
Miss Simone?
There's a message for you.
Oh, thank you.
(paper rustling)
(bright wistful music)
(patrons chattering)
Hi!
I wanted to thank you.
I have love, loved my looks this week.
All this sustainable,
historic, one-of-a kind stuff.
I really wanna remake
my image like that.
Oh, you absolutely
should. It's so rewarding.
I mean, there are so
many amazing treasures
to find out there.
You're gonna love it!
I mean, obviously I have
an unusual situation though,
starting a new life with Oliver.
So happy for you.
Thank you.
You know, he's starting a world tour.
18 months, huge arenas!
And I'm going with him.
It's like the coolest thing I've ever heard.
I'm gonna need a wardrobe
that works in all these different places.
Well, you should talk
to Celine about that.
I did, but she won't
take me on as a client.
What?
Because I told her I
want you to be my stylist.
Wait!
Okay, wait.
Don't worry. Celine
is happy for you, Kayli.
Now, I leave for London next week.
I'm gonna need someone
to travel with me
for at least the next 18 months.
Then after the tour
we'll be doing press for
the Elizabeth Taylor project
and then it's award season.
Wow!
That's a lot of really exciting
stuff coming up for you.
I'm so honored.
And obviously this is a huge opportunity
to showcase sustainable fashion.
But I mean, I, I, I...
You know what?
Nevermind. I would absolutely love to!
Great!
I'm sure you're gonna need some
time to sort out your life.
Yeah! Maybe some time to pack up.
Maybe sublet my apartment in LA.
Oh! I'm so excited.
Meet you in London, darling. (Chuckles)
He turned in his work phone
so I can't get ahold of him
and he didn't say goodbye.
It doesn't really make any sense.
We haven't seen him.
I'm sorry, honey.
I can't believe this.
Knowing him,
he probably just needs
some time alone to think.
I think I know where he is.
Thank you!
(cheerful pensive music)
Hey! What are you doing?
[Mills] Well.
Were you gonna leave
without saying goodbye?
I was about to head back to the hotel
to drop off my spare key,
and I thought I'd stop here first
to decide what I was gonna say to you.
I can't believe you're gonna quit!
Wait, what? Quit?
Mills, you are so good at your job.
There will be other promotions, okay?
Just because it's not
perfect, you just quit?
That's no way to live! I should know!
Kayli! Errol fired me.
What? He said he tried
to convince you to stay.
(playful mysterious music)
We have to call Detective Selma!
Show me camera four.
Show me camera seven.
What are you doing here?
The cops will be here any minute.
Oh, you've made a mistake.
No, they didn't!
Mills, you were right.
It was in the one place we never looked!
Errol's office!
How could you steal it? Why?
Don't look so surprised, kid.
And no wonder there was
nothing on the security footage.
You thought you could
pin it on the other thief
and get away with it.
I gave my life to Park Lux,
and they wanna promote you.
Meanwhile, what about
all the years I put in?
Well, they're certainly lost now.
Insurance would've covered everything.
It's a victimless crime.
Except maybe you don't get
your hot shot promotion.
But I get my retirement in style.
Unfortunately, it doesn't
work that way, Errol.
You're under arrest.
(bright pensive music)
Dress okay? Is it damaged?
Everything looks intact.
I mean, I'll take a closer
look in my room, but.
Gosh, we're very lucky. It's so delicate.
-Devon, call the museum.
-Tell them the good news!
Yes, sir!
(uptempo cheerful music)
I still can't believe it.
The dress was here the whole time.
It's crazy!
[Biker] Look out! (Bike bell dinging)
Ooh!
I got ya. Since you're
always there for me.
And I wanna be!
(horns honking)
So looks like you're not fired anymore.
No! They already gave
my old job to Devon.
And I can't take it back from him.
Yeah!
And honestly, I think I'm
ready to leave Park Lux.
Look, I also have something to tell you.
Um...
Okay.
It looks like I'm not gonna be
an assistant stylist anymore.
Of course you're not.
And you were right!
Oh! Go on!
If I wanna be brave, I have to be scared.
And I'm terrified
because my new job is to travel
with Rini Jean and Ollie K.
Ollie K!
For an 18-month world tour?
How did you know?
Guess who just signed on
as their head of security?
Are you serious?
Yeah!
They couldn't have found anyone better.
Kayli, how about you and
I travel the world together?
Maybe we can find some time
for some work-life balance.
Yeah, I think so.
I think I finally figured out my priorities
and got them right.
Me too.
You know that mission
I've been looking for?
Mm-hmm!
It's you.
The Carlyles travel the globe.
(wistful romantic music)
(wistful romantic music continues)
(airy wistful music) (letters whooshing)
(bright dramatic music)
(horns honking) (train wheels clacking)
(crowd chattering) (bright upbeat music)
[Reporter] Who are you wearing?
(door slams)
[Camera Operator] Just
over your left shoulder!
(crowd chattering)
Oh, excuse me?
Sorry! Excuse me.
Yeah, you can't drive that thing
without a Chicago Hotel Cart license.
Need at least five years
of cart pushing experience
and a master's degree in
luggage transportation.
(horn honking) (crowd chattering)
It's a little joke there. Get it?
If you have to say "Get it," is it funny?
Anyway, I only have 4
1/2 years experience.
Unless you count emotional baggage.
(employee laughs)
I think it's more about a liability issue.
Guests can't use the carts.
Oh! (Body thuds)
-Oh!
-Oh!
Buddy, watch out! (Camera snapping)
Sorry about that.
You okay?
Damsel in distress at
your service. (Chuckles)
Ah, that bellhop will be
more than happy to help you
if you just give him a moment.
Mm-hmm! (Playful music)
Excuse me!
(crowd chattering)
Welcome to Park Lux!
(cheerful mellow music)
(crowd chattering)
(phone ringing)
(cheerful mellow music continues)
-Hello!
-Hi!
Here you go.
Perfect. Thank you!
Kayli Simone?
[Kayli] Yeah!
Is this Los Angeles address correct?
We don't seem to have you here.
I'm so sorry. The room
is under Celine Lang Inc.
(elevator bell dings)
The Celine Lang?
Mm-hmm!
Who styles Margot
and ZZ and Rini Jean?
Yes!
-I follow her online.
-The looks are to die for!
Right?
(crowd chattering) (keyboard tapping)
You are in the Blast Suite.
Oh!
I can't believe Celine
Lang is coming here.
You know it!
I mean, the Cosmo Gala is for
all of us who love fashion.
Oh!
14th floor. Just that way.
Thank you!
(playful pensive music)
(drone buzzing) (camera snapping)
(bright bouncy music)
Sorry, I took the cart. I didn't
see anyone and it was busy!
-Get down!
-What?
You see that?
(drone buzzing)
It's a drone camera from a gossip site.
It just flew into the hotel trying to get
private footage of the guests
staying here this week.
What a time to be alive!
(drone buzzes)
Little help?
Huh?
Woo! Okay.
Push me!
Ah, I don't think that's a good idea.
-Push me!
-Okay!
(Kayli grunting) (playful music)
-Faster!
-What?
That's it!
Faster!
[Kayli] Okay!
And!
Ooh!
(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)
Huh!
Do all my own stunts.
Are you okay, Ms. Simone?
Ah, it's Kayli. How did you know that?
Oh, I'm briefed on all the gala guests.
Oh!
Liam Mills, Park Lux Security Chief,
but you can call me Mills.
Mm!
Sorry if I frightened you.
No, not at all!
I have all this luggage because
I'm an assistant stylist
and I'm dressing Rini Jean this week.
Well, first rule of security,
you never say who your VIP is.
Even to someone who's
briefed on the gala guests?
Hmm!
So we good here?
Yeah, as long as you think
I can handle the cart by myself.
(Mills laughs)
Excuse me.
(Kayli chuckles)
First rule of security. Please!
What was that?
Oh, nothing!
(bouncy playful music)
(wistful enchanted music)
(wistful enchanted music continues)
(door beeps)
Hello?
Kayli?
Celine, this place is amazing!
Plenty of room to do fittings.
And look at these.
Kayli, darling.
[Kayli] Hmm?
You'll never guess what happened.
Oh no!
-It's good news.
-Oh!
Truman is going to
elope with his girlfriend.
Oh, my gosh! Congratulations!
Oh, thank you!
I'm already thinking mother
of the groom dresses,
but no sequins.
Never!
(both giggle)
Oh, you're gonna make the
coolest mother of the groom ever.
He just called me in the
car. I couldn't believe it.
There's just one thing though.
He's doing it this weekend in Paris.
Oh, my gosh. You can't miss that!
No, I can't. The Eiffel Tower at sunset!
They're so in love.
Kayli, it's a
once-in-a-lifetime family event.
I had no idea it was coming.
Of course!
Kayli, you can do this on your own.
Maybe we should see
if Leslie can come out?
No! You can do this!
The clothes are already chosen,
everything approved by
Rini Jean and her team.
All the pre-party looks are
straight off the runway.
Yeah!
Right. Okay.
Hey, what happened was years ago.
It's time to get over the past, sweetie.
Live in the now.
I know! But, you know, I don't know.
Look! You're in Chicago!
And somebody told me they
have the best vintage shops
in the world.
Kayli, I know that's your thing.
Have some fun.
It'll help the work and you deserve it.
I'm touched, but not totally convinced.
(phone dings)
Oh!
Go.
You've got this!
(bouncy tense music)
(pensive music)
(visitor knocks)
There's Rini Jean already?
Hi!
Ah, may I come in?
Oh! Ah, I'm a little busy right now.
I just need a quick
signature for a delivery
from this museum, the
Chicago Fashion Institute.
They are very particular
about their chain of custody.
Of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come in!
(wistful inspirational music)
Rini Jean's gown for the Cosmo Gala.
Nice!
Nice? This was Elizabeth Taylor's dress!
The actress!
The icon.
Cleopatra?
Very nice?
Well, she wore it to the
Academy Awards in 1970.
Rini Jean's producing her first movie.
It's an Elizabeth Taylor biopic,
so it has extra meaning to her.
Wait, I'm sorry.
This piece of fabric is
appraised at upwards six figures.
Well, no, it's priceless actually.
You're holding history in your hands!
Oh!
That's probably why
Celine wanted me to be here.
Taking care of vintage
clothes is kinda my specialty.
This?
French silk chiffon with the
most gorgeous S-twist weave
that just floats on the body.
They dyed it to match
Elizabeth Taylor's violet eyes.
Legend has it, it took 72 hours
to get the color just right.
Wow!
You know, I don't know very
much about French twist chiffon,
but 72 hours seems like a
pretty short work week to me.
Right?
You know you're a workaholic
when your dating profile says,
"We'll reschedule at least twice."
(Mills laughs)
Mine says,
"May run from dinner if
there's a security breach."
You know that I've missed
my college friend's weddings
three times because of Fashion Week.
Thrice!
Thrice? (Chuckles)
I made a map of all
of the emergency exits
at my cousin's wedding
reception as an early gift.
Weird. (Laughs)
Okay, first, I've got four
looks that I need to do
for the other parties this week.
Right!
Do you mind if I just
run through the protocol
on the dress real quick?
Oh, son of a stitch!
So there are very strict
chain of possession rules
for tracking the gown
because it is a museum piece.
I understand that you have a
fitting here with it today.
Once you need it back on
the night of the Cosmo Gala,
though, there will be a full-time guard
that travels everywhere with the client.
Kayli?
Oh my! These are the wrong size shoes!
Kayli?
There's already been a theft earlier today
at this pre-gala lunch in downtown.
Some kind of a vintage purse, a Hermes.
Hermes!
Gesundheit!
Where is the pink sash?
I can't find the pink sash
that goes with this dress.
Well, it's no wonder
you can't find anything.
This looks like Cinderella's
closet exploded.
First of all, Cinderella
didn't have any ballgowns
because she was too
busy doing all the work
in the background.
Sounds familiar.
Yeah!
And secondly,
thank you for bringing up
the Cinderella reference,
because these should
have a princess spirit.
You know, the theme
for the gala this year
is Fairytale Fantasy.
You know? Happily ever after.
Yeah!
Why do we always focus on
the happily ever after part?
That's a hopeful sentiment.
No, I mean it.
Why not focus more on the journey itself
instead of the destination?
Otherwise, what's the point?
One million likes on Instagram,
according to my industry.
Right.
Anyway, if you wouldn't
mind just signing this here,
I'll get out of your hair.
Okay!
(hand slaps)
(Kayli screams)
Oh no!
It's okay! Ah, we can fix this, I'm sure.
No! No, no, no, no!
No, this can't be all of them!
It's okay!
I'm sure no one will miss
a couple of feathers.
You're kidding me.
These long lenses on the
red carpet see everything.
I mean, people have to be
perfect from head to toe.
It's insane.
So, ah,
I'm gonna need you to sign
this chain of possession form
if you wanna keep that
dress for the fitting.
Oh! My boss signs those.
Okay.
Ah, where is your boss?
On her way to France.
Kayli, I can't leave until you sign this.
I just wanna get through
this gala without any hiccups
so I can just go back to my regular life.
Is this not what you usually do?
No! Not alone! I'm an assistant!
But Celine thinks I can do it,
and she had to go to her son's wedding.
And just believe me, I'm
not so good under pressure.
Go ahead. Make fun of me
for my fashion emergency.
I would never do that.
I'm sure this is all very difficult.
I'm not so great with responsibility.
You know, making the decisions.
I mean, these have to
be sewn in one by one
and Rini Jean's gonna be
here soon for a fitting,
and I.
[Mills] Take a deep breath!
- Yeah, I need to-
- Take a deep breath with me.
(both inhaling deeply)
Hold it.
And release. Whew!
I know it's so annoying
when someone tells you
to take a deep breath,
but it kind of does work.
I'm okay. Thanks.
Can I tell you something?
Sure!
You can't be brave unless you're scared.
Was that some sort of inspirational quote
off social media?
(Mills chuckles)
I learned it in the military actually.
All right, I will be back to pick up the very,
very nice Elizabeth Taylor
dress before I go off my shift
and then it goes in the big safe
until we take it out for the gala.
If you please.
(Kayli sighs)
(pen scrapes)
All right!
Hey!
By the way, thank you for everything.
Sure! This is a full service hotel.
Great. Then can you get
me some more of these?
I'll talk to the concierge.
(cheerful music)
Our Cosmo Gala patrons
return year after year
because the Park Lux is
synonymous with comfort, luxury,
but most importantly, discretion.
Now, I wanna ensure that we are
all on our A game this week.
Keep in mind that the photogs
that are parked outside
are not necessarily
unwelcome by this crowd,
many of which will
want to be photographed
to highlight their clothing.
Now, there'll be many
comings and goings this week
with several pre-gala events,
so stay alert and manage
the flow smoothly.
Any questions?
Yes?
Mills, we heard about your promotion.
Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag.
Yes, I have applied for
the International
Security Director position
for the entire Park Lux hotel chain.
You are for sure going to get it.
(Mills laughs)
We'll miss you, sir.
Well, don't say goodbye to me yet.
Even if I get it, I will be back periodically.
They say that traveling
to each of the hotels
for a week at a time,
you wind up seeing them
all every seven months.
So if there are no further questions,
I would love to get into
the new security protocols
for the EVAC procedures.
Take a look at this map.
(airy bright music)
Okay, so I just thought
we would go through
everything that you and
Celine picked out back in LA,
just as a reminder.
So this is tonight's
look for the runway show,
which I hear you're
sitting in the front row.
And then this is for the
Sky Deck event tomorrow.
And then this will be for
the night-before party at Mirabella's.
(Rini Jean sighs)
(bouncy pensive music)
Shall we try on tonight's look?
Sure.
(wistful enchanted music)
As you and Celine discussed,
you really wanted to
embrace the fairytale theme
with ruffled silhouettes
and layers of texture,
diaphanous fabrics.
I mean, it's really a dreamy
over-the-top feminine look
that just totally embraces
that escapist fairytale aesthetic.
I hate it!
I wanna be different than everyone else!
What? What? What?
You hate it?
I mean, I know the color
is a little bit subtle,
but I think it goes with all the other ones.
No, no! It's not that I hate it.
It's beautiful.
I just... Okay!
Kayli, I am so sorry!
When Celine walked me
through the vision,
she was so certain that
this was the way to go.
And, well, I said yes because
it is Celine Lang, you know?
I do know.
Okay!
Well, this happens!
Why don't we just switch out
one of the other day's looks for tonight,
and then we can replace
that on another day.
I am not sure any of these
really work for tonight.
You have to be there in five hours.
Ah! (Bouncy tense music)
(body flops)
What am I gonna do?
Oh, that's a cute dog.
Who's that?
May-May. She's with my parents.
Oh, so tiny.
What breed?
I got her at a shelter in Silver Lake.
I'm not sure.
The idea was to get a guard dog
so that I felt safer on
my walks in the morning.
You know, a dog that says,
"Hey, keep your distance."
But when I got there,
I changed my mind.
I just clicked with her.
Even though she draws
more attention to me
instead of being a protective barrier.
I never thought I'd
be a small dog person.
But when I looked in her
eyes, I just realized that
instead of looking for
someone to take care of me,
I was looking to take care
of someone else for once.
That is so beautiful.
(soft cheerful music)
You know, I'm thinking
there are so many
characters in fairytales,
not just princesses.
There's the heroes that save the day.
Or should I say the
heroines that save the pups?
I have an idea.
Ugh! The whole entire outfit?
Every last hand-smocked ruffle!
Not to make it all about me,
but are we still doing the crimped bob?
Or what kind of hairstyle
do you want me to give her?
No, I'm thinking maybe
like a slick back pony.
A little movement in the back.
Oh! I like!
What are you thinking of doing, Kayli?
(Kayli grunts)
I don't know!
My job is the alterations,
the pickups, the steaming,
not the choosing!
Some might say this is a promotion.
I don't want a promotion!
I know, honey. But this
is a great opportunity.
Hey, I had that responsibility once
and I was no good at it, remember?
Sweetie, could you maybe have
your nervous breakdown later?
Like when Rini Jean leaves for the show,
fully dressed with fabulous hair?
I was just trying to squeeze
in an emotional breakdown
before I start panic shopping.
Okay, I'll be done with Rini
Jean in a couple of hours.
Okay!
You got this!
Yeah! Thanks, Perry!
(playful pensive music)
(crowd chattering)
(footsteps racing)
(footsteps racing)
(bell jingles)
How can I help you today, darling?
Hi! I'm looking for formal wear.
Well, you have to be a
little more specific than that.
What type of formal wear?
Um...
Well!
You mean something like this?
I wore this to the Windy
City Waltz back in 1985.
Ah?
Oh wow! Maybe.
Or what about this one?
From the first Annual Starry Night Ball
at the Adler Planetarium.
Must have been late '90s.
All of your dresses are incredible.
I do know the pedigree
of just about every piece,
not just the designer,
but the woman who had it,
and usually where she wore it.
Wow!
Your shop is a dream.
Well, what are you shopping for?
The Orloff Show tonight.
I have a client
who's going to all of the
gala events this week,
and the last look is
channeling Elizabeth Taylor.
Oh, everyone is looking
for celebrity pieces,
so good luck.
But it's time for my stories.
Oh, yeah. Okay.
(remote clicks)
(romantic orchestral music)
(bouncy pensive music)
Okay, so there's this one.
Or this one.
I can't really see. You keep freezing.
Okay! Celine, can you hear me?
Ah, I just need you to choose
because I don't wanna
be the one to choose.
The important thing is,
which one do you love?
Get away from the noise a
little and listen to yourself.
Have the courage of your convictions.
I'd rather have the
courage of your convictions.
(phone beeping)
Is that an editorial comment?
(bright music)
(horn honks)
The fabric is hand-sewn,
in the tradition of
Chicago bespoke tailors
on Michigan Avenue in the 1920s.
Paired with this Ivy cap,
made very popular by Ivy
League students of New England
around the same time.
Think it looks good. Hmm?
It's giving Marlena Dietrich meets Prince.
Yes! (Rini Jean laughs)
I fashioned together some vintage ties
for this sort of structured slim bodice,
and I think it's the perfect
combination of softness
and strength the way every
fairytale heroine should be.
I love it!
Really?
This is so, so me.
(Kayli sighs dramatically)
Oh, I think Oliver's gonna love it too.
Who's Oliver?
Ollie K, my boyfriend!
-No!
-Shh!
Unless you wanna sign an NDA.
I think he's gonna love it.
(Rini Jean giggles)
Oh, Kayli, I know that
this was last minute,
but you really pulled it off.
I can't wait to see what you'll do with
the rest of the week's looks!
(bouncy tense music)
You mean redo everything?
Not the Elizabeth Taylor dress, no,
but all of the pre-parties.
Please?
I don't think that's possible.
You only had a few hours for this one.
And look! An original.
I'm gonna surprise everyone.
(airy pensive music)
(visitor knocks)
Oh! What'd you forget?
(footsteps clopping)
Oh!
May I come in?
Um, sure!
I mean, to get the Elizabeth Taylor dress
and put it back in the safe?
Of course! I know. Ah-huh!
Yes! Absolutely! (Mills chuckles)
How did the fitting go?
Oh, I had to redo everything.
But then, you know what?
She actually kinda loved it.
See?
Yeah, but now she wants me
to redo all the pre-gala looks.
Ah, that sounds like a very good thing.
It is a very risky thing.
A very short notice thing!
She believes in you.
What'd she think of the
Elizabeth Taylor dress?
You know what? We
didn't even get that far.
But that is a for certain, so
I'm not worried about that.
Still in the wardrobe?
Yeah, I put it in there before I left.
(bouncy tense music)
What? What do you mean you left?
Before I went shopping.
(dramatic music)
It's gone!
(pensive jazz music)
Was there anything
unusual about the scene
when you got back from shopping?
Yeah, it was unusual
that she left the dress alone in the room!
We've established that, Mills.
I hung it up in the trunk
and then when I came back,
nothing was unusual.
And, I mean, I know it's
kind of hard to notice
'cause the room is a little...
Chaotic!
An active workspace!
[Mills] Hmm?
Well, insurance has been notified
and they'll have all the paperwork
and no doubt be in touch with Park Lux.
Is there anything we should
do? Anything we can do?
Well, the best
possible outcome would be
for the dress to be recovered
and the claim would be closed.
But if it's not found by
the time it's due back,
then the official insurance
process will begin.
(Mills sighs)
So that means we have almost a week
before we need it for the gala.
Mm-hmm!
And then the Park Lux's
reputation for security
will be decimated.
And Rini Jean will have nothing to wear.
Oh no!
If only there were a room
filled with other dresses
that she could choose from.
(Kayli chuckles)
I know you've already reviewed it,
but I'll need all the security footage.
For your case file! Of course!
Obviously, we've checked
and there's nothing there.
Devon, would you please send
Detective Selma the link?
-Right away, sir!
-[Mills] Thank you!
Thank you, Detective.
I'm suspect number one, aren't I?
Yeah!
Look, you're supposed
to disagree with me!
-I'm too tired to disagree.
-The sun rises in four minutes.
I should just give up and go home.
Oh yeah, 'cause that
wouldn't be suspicious at all.
Besides, didn't Detective Selma say that
she needs you to remain
around for questioning?
Well, I could be available in LA!
I don't think it works that way.
Hey!
I didn't take it!
Security footage doesn't
show anyone else going in
and out of your room except for you.
Maybe you took it with you
to find matching shoes or something.
Yeah, I stuffed a full-length ball gown
in my tiny little purse
and then just forgot.
Okay!
Why would someone take this thing?
Are you kidding me?
It was worn by Elizabeth Taylor!
It's highly collectible.
I mean, you can't even put
a price on the history.
The woman at the thrift store yesterday,
she said that a lot of people
this week were coming in
looking for celebrity vintage items.
Who? Which shop?
Matilda's on North Milwaukee Avenue.
That's in Bucktown. Okay,
so we retrace your steps.
We go back and we ask if
anyone's looking to buy
or sell Elizabeth Taylor stuff.
Are you following a lead or following me?
You get some rest and
then you text me later.
We're going shopping.
(soft lively music)
Looks like everything's in order.
Yes, sir!
And I will keep following
up with the Chicago PD,
the museum, and the insurance carrier.
Everyone has been notified,
we've been assigned an agent,
and I have the case number.
And I assure you,
I will do everything in my
power to get this dress back.
Well, get Devon to help cover for you.
And this is all in order, as usual.
I expect no less.
Yes, sir!
Of course,
I do realize that this theft
might affect my promotion.
Well, you followed procedure.
No one can fault you for that.
But, yes, the timing isn't great.
Just know that we'll
always want you here
as head of security for
the Park Lux Chicago,
but overseeing security for
the entire Park Lux chain,
that's another ball of wax.
(pensive music)
Certainly, sir.
I will still give you my
full recommendation, of course.
Thank you, Errol.
Ready, Kayli?
Oh, hey! Coffee?
Caffeine intake already at max capacity.
Hey, Mills, thank you
so much for helping me.
My job and reputation
are also on the line.
Of course!
Let's go!
(bright mellow music)
Remind me of the name
of the first stop again.
-Matilda's.
-Right!
Yesterday I found a
scarf worn by Lee Radziwill
in perfect condition with
this gorgeous buckle pattern,
in orange.
It was 70's chic, Hermes. Mwah!
So you bought a
Hermes scarf yesterday?
Hermes! I didn't buy it. I touched it.
Have you ever touched
an Hermes scarf?
No!
They're made in Brazil,
and the silkworms only
eat mulberry leaves.
Huh! Yeah, I'd always wondered
about their dietary habits.
(tires screech) (horn honking)
Ah, it's just up here.
Oh, I think I can do something with this.
Like clean windows?
Think Fairytale Fantasy!
Plus, Rini Jean looks great in plaid.
And you would look great in this.
(Mills laughs)
The '90s called. They wanna apologize.
(button clicks)
Oh, hey, this must be the
same time I was here yesterday
because all of a sudden
she couldn't talk to me
because her show came on.
Hey, Matilda? Is this what time
your show usually comes on?
No, it's streaming. I
watch it whenever I want.
I must've been boring her.
Excuse me?
Have you had any
customers coming in lately
asking about Elizabeth Taylor items?
Occasionally, yeah.
Really? Who most recently?
Ah, you!
Oh! I see.
Ah, who before me?
Ah, well, didn't you ask yesterday?
Right!
Remember I said I have a client
that's gonna wear an
Elizabeth Taylor dress.
I was just wondering if
anyone else had asked.
Um, yeah!
Some people came in
wanting vintage looks
to wear to the Cosmo Gala.
I don't know who.
(airy pensive music)
Well, I guess that wasn't very helpful.
I think last night's
starting to catch up with me.
Here!
Oh, I didn't mean it like that.
No, you're gonna need
both hands to get us those.
It's on me.
Two, please?
Mm!
Oh, this is so beautiful.
Yeah!
I like to come here when I need to think.
[Kayli] Hmm!
(birds singing)
So how'd you become a stylist?
What? Oh, I'm sorry.
Is that a weird question?
No! No.
I just, I suddenly felt like
we were on an awkward first date.
And not that this is a date!
I mean, I'm just saying like, I was.
You know what I mean!
Well, if it wasn't awkward before!
Here's to being awkward.
(Mills laughs)
I became a stylist because, you know,
we do more than just picking out clothes.
Of course! You also pick out shoes.
Seriously though, I would love to know.
Well, I grew up in the Pacific Northwest
in this little town, and my grandmother,
she taught me to sew
before I can even remember.
And she would reuse everything.
Curtains would become dresses
and jeans would become bags.
And, you know, there's
so many things to up cycle
at a thrift store.
I mean, there's riches to find.
You don't have to buy new, honestly.
I'm gonna jump off my soapbox.
(Mills laughs)
After college, I moved to LA
and I did a bunch of
high profile internships
and worked every single day.
So you took off nights. Lightweight.
(Kayli laughs)
I mean, workhorse is the job.
Everyone's frantically
tracking every collection,
clients will text you at
11:00 PM the night before
for a morning meeting, and it's chaos.
And honestly, it's so fun.
Sounds a bit like it's
part art, part science.
Yeah, I like that.
Celine has just been
amazing to watch work.
I mostly stay in the background
and just provide raw materials for her.
(wistful romantic music)
I still have some
shopping to do. Shall we?
Let's go!
I feel so weird. I told
you my whole life story.
I keep talking and I
know nothing about you.
Well, you are the prime suspect.
Yeah! You know, I've
been thinking about that.
Why me?
I mean, you're the one with
access to all the rooms.
Hmm!
No more interrogation
until you tell me
something about yourself.
All right.
I've been at the Park Lux
Chicago for the last four years,
and before that I was in the military.
(shoppers chattering)
You're gonna have to
give me more than that.
(Mills laughs)
I was Army, Delta Force.
Wow!
Oh, you know what Delta Force is?
Not at all.
It's primarily special ops
targeting mostly direct action
and hostage rescue.
High-value targets.
Still no idea.
Covert mission units, basically.
You don't hear very much
about us, for good reason.
Oh! You're like a real life hero.
I don't know anyone
with this background.
-Honorably discharged.
-No longer active service.
Well, if this is the last place
that you visited yesterday,
I think that just about covers it.
I'll see you back at the hotel.
Yeah, of course!
I'll let you know if I hear anything.
Thank you.
(bouncy pensive music)
I'm just devastated. Not for
me, for you, for the company.
I'm not gonna lie. This isn't
ideal for Celine Lang Inc.
I know.
Who wants to lend rare clothing
to a company who loses things?
Plus the cost alone!
But then again, there's insurance.
And it's not over yet. Maybe
they'll find the thief.
Until then, I heard it's a
beautiful day in Chicago.
Have you had a hot dog yet?
Don't ask for ketchup.
Honestly, I can't think past
what I'm gonna put Rini Jean in tonight.
(Celine giggles)
Kayli, I know I'm just a Gen Xer talking,
but work-life balance is actually a thing.
Take some time for yourself.
It helps with the styling.
Oh, sorry. I can't hear
you. It's cutting out!
(mouth buzzing)
Celine, are you there?
I'm off to the wedding.
Next time you see me,
I'll be a mother-in-law.
Have fun. Enjoy!
(mellow cheerful music)
(staff chattering) (guests chattering)
Excuse me. Kayli?
Where were you just now?
What do you mean? I was with you.
No, I mean, after I left
and before you got here.
-Oh, I was on the phone.
-Why? What's going on?
A very rare vintage
watch just went missing
from a pre-gala luncheon
right around the corner.
(playful tense music)
Oh great!
(mellow cheerful music)
How's it going in there?
[Perry] Great! Come check her out.
Okay.
(uptempo dance music)
[Singers] Hey!
Hey!
[Singer] Woo!
[Singers] Hey!
Hey!
The capelet is totally working now.
Welcome to the Cute
Zone! Population, you!
This is giving a little
bit of a Dior vibe, 1950s,
capturing the essence of
elegance and sophistication.
Crafted for a woman
who wears her strength
as effortlessly as her style.
I love it. I love it so much!
Look, the pockets are big enough
you don't even need a purse.
Oh! Every woman's dream.
(wistful triumphant music)
(mellow tense music)
(Kayli sighs)
Nothing like a banana for dinner.
(visitor knocks)
[Mills] Security!
Hi!
Can I interest you in a drink?
Got this funny feeling that
you haven't had a chance to
relax since you got here.
It's amazing what adrenaline
and sheer panic can do.
Who are your friends?
Oh, we just wanted to
quickly do a little upgrade
on the security measures in your room.
Inspect all the windows,
mount some exterior video surveillance,
and do a protective sweep.
Oh? Okay.
(playful pensive music)
So is this to watch me or to protect me?
'Cause the dress is gone.
It'll make me feel better. Come on!
Let's go downstairs and
let them do their work.
What? I'm in my lounge wear.
Huh! Is this different
from your day wear?
It's subtle, but there.
Huh!
I'll wait.
(elevator bell dings)
[Kayli] What is this place?
It's an old speakeasy.
[Kayli] Oh!
Pretty cool, huh?
Yeah!
It reminds me of this
place that I used to go to
when we were stationed in Prague.
Did you like the army?
Apparently, Al Capone
used to come here.
You're avoiding my question.
I'm very military curious.
You are very curious, period.
(drink splashing)
Yes, I did enjoy my time in the military.
I like to be out doing things
that are making a difference.
You know?
Or at least trying to.
Then why did you leave?
Honorable discharge.
Believe it or not, torn ACL.
That's it?
[Mills] Pretty much.
Years of training
sidetracked by a ligament tear?
How do you know about
these years of training?
I may have done a
little internet research.
Ah-huh!
But seriously, such a
heroic job to end like that?
Accidents happen.
Are you sure you weren't on
one of those for-rent scooters?
You can tell me. Everyone falls on those.
Or wait! Were you doing
the "Risky Business" move?
You know,
where Tom Cruise slides
across his living room floor.
You're really not gonna
let this go, are you?
I'm just being silly.
It's okay if it's private.
No, no! It's fine.
I don't mind talking about it.
It was in the Helmand Province
and I caught two in the leg.
Sorry.
Military called it exceptional valor,
doctors called it
permanent nerve damage.
I mean, I'm fine. Just
not according to them.
That's terrible.
Well, they were gonna
take care of me, you know?
Put me at a cushy desk job
for the rest of my life, but,
no thanks, you know?
Mm!
I still kind of wish it was
the "Risky Business" move.
(Mills chuckles)
(airy romantic music)
I'm starving. I saw this
little cafe around the corner.
I think I know the spot.
Great!
Woo! (Bell jingles)
Oh, this place is so cute.
Hey, look! They still have these!
These were my favorite.
Why am I not surprised
that wearable candy is your favorite?
Hmm!
Hey, Mills!
-Hey!
-There he is!
Liv, Phil, this is Kayli.
-Welcome!
-Oh!
Hi there!
They live above the cafe.
These are my aunties-sisters.
I come here for coffee every morning.
So we adopted him.
Um, two Italian beefs?
(bright playful music)
They're sandwiches
and they're delicious.
Oh! Yeah, sure!
Please!
And I can take care of
that light fixture for you.
Oh! The air filter needs replacing too.
Okay!
Oh, careful. There's a spider!
I'm fine.
Oh, don't bother the spider. (Chuckles)
How many security chiefs does it take
to change a light bulb?
Why do I come here and
subject myself to this?
One, but first he has to lecture you about
proper lighting protocols.
And all the emergency
exits in case of fires.
(group chuckles)
I see you really do know him.
(wistful music)
(Mills sighs)
(aunts applauding)
Do you ever go to any of these parties
that you create these looks for?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I prefer to stay out of the spotlight.
Me too!
(horns honking)
You want some dessert?
Oh, I'm so full. That
sandwich was amazing!
I got you something.
Hmm?
For later!
That's so sweet!
(bike bell rings)
-Watch out!
-Oh!
(airy romantic music)
Thanks.
Yeah.
Hey, Mills?
I really want you to trust me.
Please believe me!
I had nothing to do with taking
the Elizabeth Taylor dress.
It doesn't matter if I believe you or not.
It matters to me!
Whether I believe you or
not really isn't the issue.
We need official proof.
If we wanna keep our jobs,
we need to find this dress.
That's starting to feel
like such a long shot.
Not necessarily.
When these thefts happen in multiples,
there's often a pattern.
So far, three vintage
pieces have been stolen
in the same week, all from
people related to the Cosmo Gala.
And I don't have an alibi
for any of them, right?
In my line of work, you have
to put facts over feelings.
And I take my job very serious.
(horns honking)
All that being said, (wistful music)
I absolutely believe you, Kayli Simone.
(Kayli sighs)
Ah!
What's happening?
-Hide me!
-From who?
(bright tense music)
Her!
Miss Thorpe!
Let's go!
[Porter] May I take your bags?
That's the actress Vivien Thorpe.
Okay, so are you like a super fan, or?
No. I worked with her once.
Oh! And?
It didn't go well. Goodnight!
(bouncy tense music)
(candy crunches)
(somber music)
(airy bouncy music)
You mind holding down
the fort for a while?
Absolutely!
[Mills] Thank you!
Okay. I'll see you later.
-Bye. Thank you.
-[Employee] Of course!
We need to talk.
Big mistake! Big! Huge!
"Pretty Woman!" Remember?
No! But I do have new intel.
I'm really good, thanks. How about you?
We can't discuss it here.
Your next mission, should
you decide to accept it.
I always accept my next mission.
And why are you talking
like that? Let's go!
Have you ever seen a movie?
(cheerful mellow music)
Kayli, it's occurred to me that our culprit
might be hiding in plain sight.
I have a plan and I think it
could help the both of us.
Does it involve body
armor and can I bedazzle it?
So the Carlyles never
came for their hotel room.
Apparently Mrs. Carlyle got
poison ivy at their lake house.
Sorry. Who are the Carlyles?
The pickle magnates from Indiana.
It's not jarring my memory.
(airy playful music)
I'm not gonna say "Get it?"
The Carlyles come for
the Cosmo Gala every year
and I've gotten to know them.
They're very nice people.
Very down to earth.
Huge supporters of the arts.
Anyway, this just arrived for them.
(papers rustling)
These are the most coveted
invites in the fashion world.
What? Skydeck Cocktail Party.
Summer Runway Show.
Mirabelle's Pre-Gala Soiree.
I wanna grow pickles!
I think you mean cucumbers.
You really know how to ruin a punchline.
Our thiefs profile is
someone on the inside.
It doesn't get any more inside than that.
Okay?
So I'm thinking our best bet
is to attend all of these parties as guests,
therefore, not drawing any
attention to ourselves.
You know all these vintage
pieces better than anyone.
So if you see something,
you say something.
So your plan is to go to parties?
Go to the Cosmo Gala itself?
Yes!
If you wanna find this dress,
we need to go undercover!
Can we even do that?
I mean, these tickets are
technically non-transferrable.
But who's gonna know?
The Carlyles said, "Just get rid of them."
They're not gonna mind.
Do you remember that time you said that
we should actually sneak
into all the Cosmo parties
as other people?
That was crazy, right?
Look at it this way.
If there's another theft, I'm your alibi.
Yeah, my mom always said find a man
who will testify on my behalf.
(Mills laughs)
Hey, look, this one's about to start.
The Fashion Faux Pas Party.
Should we go?
Can we really? Like, right now?
Finding this Elizabeth Taylor dress
is my number one priority.
Well, the '90s called,
and Mr. Carlyle loves a bold print.
I accept this mission.
(upbeat music)
(horns honking)
Do these make me look mysterious
or like a thief on the run?
I think I need sunglasses
just to look at those sunglasses.
(Kayli laughs)
Oh!
(walkers chattering) (horns honking)
Oh yes!
-Oh!
-Boop!
That's perfect.
(Mills laughs)
Well, at least the strap
is genuine fake leather.
(Kayli laughs)
And look! Socks with
no commitment issues.
(Mills laughs)
Oh, that reminds me.
Would you do me the great
honor, Mrs. Carlyle?
This is the best day of my fake life.
We have nowhere to go but up.
(Kayli laughs)
-Hmm!
-Look at us!
We could totally fit in
in a downtown Chicago
summer fashion party.
Wait!
You do know that this is a
Fashion Faux Pas Party, right?
Like, fashion mishaps.
Mix matching prints with
stripes, that kind of thing.
Yeah, that's what I said. I love it!
Although styles always
do come back around.
And with this crowd,
it could be next week.
I think you look great.
And I think it's really cool
how you pulled this all together
from just street vendors.
Style's not about having money, right?
It's about having a good eye.
Love is in the details.
(wistful music)
Oh! Are we really doing this?
Delta Force specializes
in reconnaissance missions,
and I've done more than one
where I've had to go undercover.
You know what the secret is?
Nerves of steel!
X-ray vision!
Almost. Situational awareness.
Oh! In case we have to do the limbo?
(Mills chuckles)
Always have an exit strategy.
Never turn your back on the room.
Position yourself so you can observe,
and use distraction
techniques when necessary.
Hmm! Sounds so much
simpler than I thought.
Just stay close to me.
Listen, I have two basic party skills,
not remembering anyone's name
and always missing the appetizer tray.
That's perfect!
And if I start rambling about
modern satellite technology,
just stop me.
I will.
(guests chattering)
(uptempo dance music)
(guests cheering)
What are you trying to do?
Save me from the goat cheese crostini?
Quick! Laugh like I
said something funny.
Wah! (Laughing)
Okay, new plan.
We're just gonna pretend
that we're whispering.
Why are we whispering?
Oh no! Vivien Thorpe.
Gosh, I really don't wanna see her.
Okay, quick, create a distraction.
Grab a drink, throw it, and I'll run out.
What's the deal with you two?
-Well!
-Tell me!
(Vivien laughs)
She's wearing a bedazzled bandana.
Okay!
If I'm not mistaken,
that is the same one
worn by Dolly Parton,
or it's a really good copy.
Nice situational awareness.
Thanks!
(electricity buzzes) (guests gasp)
Oh!
You okay?
Yeah. We can just stay here.
I got you.
(wistful romantic music)
(electricity buzzes) (guests cheer)
(uptempo dance music)
I'll get us a drink.
Yeah, that's a, that's a,
that's a good, good plan.
I'm, ah, I'm gonna stay right here.
(guests cheering)
Thank you.
(uptempo dance music continues)
They come talking
(electricity buzzes) (guests groan)
(Vivien gasps)
(mysterious tense music)
[Mills] Everyone remain calm!
I'm so sorry, everyone. It's my fault.
I tripped and fell. (Chuckles)
[Mills] It's gone.
Uh-oh!
Where's my bandana?
Everyone check your belongings.
Come with me, ma'am.
(airy pensive music)
(patrons chattering)
You okay?
You should search me.
No, I know you didn't take it.
But everyone else is
being searched. Why not me?
What if I was framed?
Okay.
(Kayli sighs)
(bright tense music)
(bright tense music continues)
Kayli.
(Mills laughs)
Oops.
(cheerful instrumental music)
(phone ringing)
Hello?
[Caller] I'm calling
for Ms. Mikayla Simone.
Spam a lot.
Please take me off your call list.
Excuse me? I'm looking
for the fashion stylist.
I'm so sorry.
Scammers are usually the only
people that call me Mikayla.
This is Kayli Simone.
Very well. You're the one
we've been trying to reach.
I have an opportunity to discuss.
It sounds like Miranda Priestly.
That's not a real person,
and she's not British.
I'm calling on behalf
of Sir Oliver Kenwood,
who would be most
grateful for a meeting.
He's often known as Ollie K.
Ollie K wants a meeting with me?
You should go!
Shh!
Mr. Kenwood requires your
services rather urgently
and very discreetly.
I've been instructed to send a car for you
at your earliest convenience.
It's confidential.
Vintage tee troubles? Denim dilemma?
Can I bring my assistant, Mills?
Of course!
I'll text the details.
Oh!
Let me do your hair before you go.
Okay.
So who is this Ollie K guy?
Oh! Well, he used to be
known as Oliver Kenwood.
Oliver Kenwood?
As in like Crush Cruise Oliver Kenwood?
Yes!
But I didn't peg you as a boy band fan.
Huh!
Number one, that is sexist.
And number two, they
were very talented.
And number three, I happen
to have little sisters.
Mm!
Well, now he is all grown up
and he's known as Ollie K.
He's kind of like a big
deal all around the world.
Wow! I had no idea
that was the same person.
You all right? You're fidgeting.
Ah, yeah!
Yeah?
Kayli, if we're gonna work together,
you gotta be straight with me.
Yeah, of course. I agree!
Good!
So what's the deal with Vivien Thorpe?
Okay! (Somber wistful music)
But don't make fun of me.
I would never use your
vulnerable moments against you.
A few years ago, I had
my first really big job
and my first big break
was to dress Vivien Thorpe
for this charity event.
And I spent weeks repurposing
this beautiful silk dressing
robe of Audrey Hepburn's.
Oh, it was gorgeous.
(Mills laughs)
And she's modest.
It was gorgeous and completely invisible.
Oh.
It was the exact same
pale blue as the backdrop.
I never even thought to look that up.
And in all of the pictures, she
just completely disappeared.
She was like a floating
head with hands and it...
It's like this viral meme.
I must have missed it.
How?
Okay, so you just gave up
after one little setback?
No, she was up for this
really big superhero role
in this major franchise, and
all of the headlines were like,
"What is she auditioning
for? The Invisible Woman?"
Or "Hollywood's Disappearing Act!"
Ugh!
And then?
She didn't get the role.
You know, she was like a joke.
My stupid mistake
changed the entire
trajectory of her career,
of her life really.
Kayli, none of that is your fault.
Well, anyway, after that
I just decided, you know,
I'm not meant for that
kind of responsibility.
I love my job, love this world,
but I don't wanna make
the final decision.
That's for someone else.
(footsteps clicking)
Mr. Kenwood is ready to see you now.
Rini Jean is properly vibing
with your looks, you know.
Oh, thank you so much.
It's not really me. It's my boss, Celine.
No, it's not. It's completely her.
Right!
So this is well confidential, yeah?
Proper hush-hush.
Swear on your NDAs and all that.
-Yes, absolutely!
-100%!
Brilliant.
So at the Cosmo Gala,
I'm gonna get down on one
knee for my girl, Rini Jean.
-Oh, that's awesome!
-Congratulations!
Means the absolute world
to me, if I'm honest.
It's gotta be bloomin' perfect, doesn't it?
Yeah! Proper fairytale
moment and all that.
Give her the happily
ever after she deserves.
Yes! Yeah, that is the way to do it.
My man. (Mills laughs)
Oh, sorry! (Fists thud)
Oh! Sorry. Go!
I'll get you next time.
Right!
So Kayli, do you think
that you could style her
with this moment in mind?
I don't mean to step on your
creative vision or anything,
but perhaps no gloves.
Oh, of course. Absolutely!
Brilliant.
The ring was made in 1821,
this gorgeous sapphire, proper blue,
like looking at the night
sky over Glastonbury.
Hmm!
(wistful romantic music)
I know the perfect dress.
Yeah! If we can find it.
We have to find the dress
before the Cosmo Gala.
I don't want Rini Jean's
perfect moment to be ruined.
Now she finds it urgent!
What can I say? I
love a romantic gesture.
So it wasn't enough
that your entire professional
reputation was on the line?
Not to mention my career and promotion.
What? What promotion?
Ah, it's, ah, it's nothing!
It's just, um, it's just a little
something that I'm up for.
Who knows?
I think you knows!
It's the head of international security
for the whole Park Lux hotel chain.
Wow!
Yeah.
What does that mean?
It means that I would travel
around from hotel to hotel,
meeting with all the security teams,
and making sure that
they're following protocol,
have the proper equipment,
checking for efficiencies.
I would manage and coordinate
every security team worldwide.
Well, that sounds interesting.
Okay, maybe I'm underselling it.
Okay, think gelato in Rome,
long walks on the cliffs of Ireland,
and dinner in New Orleans.
You had me at gelato.
You know, ever since I left the military,
I've just kind of missed
being on the move.
I don't know.
I'm not sure I was built
to be in the same place
with the same people day after day.
Right!
It's not just the travel that I miss though.
It's the sense of a mission.
You know? The meaning
attached to the work.
Don't get me wrong, I love Chicago,
but some of these European Park Luxes,
they regularly host diplomats.
That's the kind of security work
that I would love to be a part of again.
I hope you get it.
Thanks!
All right!
Ah, have the Carlyles been
invited to anything today?
They sure have!
The Frenzy Fashion Pop-Up
Show at this address.
Yeah, that's just around
the corner. Should we go?
I don't think we'll find
anything about the dress.
Yeah, you're probably right.
But it might be fun.
(bright lively music)
I mean, it says it's supposed
to be right here, but.
Designers do this all the time.
They put their pop-up shows
in these cool, unexpected places.
Come on!
(uptempo dance music)
Don't I, don't I
Don't need to know ya
Don't I, don't I
You seen anything?
Yeah, empire waistlines
are coming back.
Hmm?
What? I'm multitasking.
You know, I'm also a fashion detective.
It's kind of like being bilingual.
Mm!
(lively dance music)
(guests whistling) (guests cheering)
What's happening?
I think the show's starting.
Oh!
Fantastic piece.
Do you know her?
I love the lace.
Is it something that
you would put a client in?
Mm-hmm. It's gorgeous.
Oh!
Hello.
It's beautiful.
This is my first fashion show.
(heels clicking)
Oh! Uh?
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not a real model.
(Kayli laughing)
Kayli, what is going on?
No, no, no. You're making friends!
Ah!
Hello. (Guests cheering)
Remember your situational awareness!
Oh, certainly. Yes.
Jacket's coming off.
(guests whistling)
Yes!
Woo!
Settle down! (Kayli laughs)
We're dancing now.
Yes!
(Mills laughs)
(Kayli laughs)
Put your phone away!
No, it's too good!
(guests cheering)
Okay.
Your turn!
(Kayli laughing) (camera snapping)
Yep, that's it. That's it.
Is that it? (Phone dings)
(lively dance music continues)
(Kayli sighs)
Perfect. Great.
(guests cheering)
(cheerful pensive music)
I have 36 hours to pull together
an entire new Cosmo
Gala look for Rini Jean.
(Matilda gasps)
Her identical twin is alive!
Oh!
Look at that lipstick. That
is definitely an evil twin.
Not to mention a look for myself
and Mills for the gala as well.
(Kayli sighs)
Oh, Matilda!
What is it, hun?
Oh! Curtain sheers.
If I'm not mistaken,
this is pure silk georgette
from the early 20th century.
Look, this twisted weave gives
it this beautiful pattern.
This is exquisite.
Is that so? Um, how
about a hundred bucks?
Oh no! This is precious.
This is hand-dyed in the
most beautiful deep indigo.
You have to get this appraised.
Kayli, stop!
You are probably the
only person in Chicago
who would know what this is.
You recognized the possibility
and you will let it shine.
It's yours for 120 bucks.
Right!
Plus tax!
(door creaks) (bell jingles)
What can I get you, love? (Laughs)
How about a double espresso
and a lead on this
Elizabeth Taylor dress?
Well, this is too much work even for you!
Too bad you can't find the time
to take that girl out on a proper date.
[Liv] Mm-hmm!
Well, what if I told you that
I'm taking Kayli to the Cosmo Gala?
You're kidding! What?
What are you gonna wear?
Apparently, that's the big question.
(bouncy playful music)
We will be right back. Come on!
(airy wistful music)
So you really do like her?
What happened to settling down
with a nice girl from Chicago?
Oh, every hear of an airplane?
This was our father's.
He wore it one time when he
took our mom to a wedding
when we were little girls.
He was a groomsman.
I remember Liv and I thought
they were the most glamorous
couple in the world.
I love that.
Used to say it was the
only time in his life
he ever got dressed up.
I think it's really
special that you kept this.
Liv and I, we've lived above
this cafe our whole lives,
and neither one of us
ever had kids of our own,
so we would be so proud if
instead you might wear it.
(wistful inspirational music)
I think that's the best
idea I've heard all day.
Second best. (Chuckles)
First, you have to take
Kayli out on a date.
It's a work date.
Life goes by fast, Mills.
Don't miss the good parts.
Mills? Got a minute?
Yes! Of course, sir. (Clears throat)
Good kid. Kind of overeager.
He's already asked to apply for your job
when you get the promotion.
Oh!
So any word yet?
Four thefts, different pieces of clothing.
Seemingly unrelated,
but all at places or events
surrounding the gala week.
Beyond that, no firm leads, sir.
Corporate called.
Look, I understand.
If I don't find this dress,
there's absolutely no way
I'm getting this promotion.
We don't know that.
But we do.
I'm behind you all the way.
(airy pensive music)
Woo! Rini Jean's blowing up!
This got 1.3 million views and
it was posted five hours ago.
I think I should send
a photo of this to Celine
and see what she thinks.
No! Girl, you shouldn't!
I'm watching it happen in real time.
You are creating these looks!
And now you've got a hot
date to the Cosmo Gala,
this is your big fairytale moment.
You should embrace it.
My job is to dress the stars. Not be one.
I have to worry about Celine's company
and Rini Jean's reputation.
Oh, whatever!
You're too scared to see your own worth
because once you go for
something, then you could fail.
That's not true.
Is that true?
I can't keep solving
all your deeply-seeded
emotional struggles.
I need to get a red light facial.
See you later, sweetie.
Bye!
(wistful pensive music)
(visitor knocks)
Everything okay?
I have an admission.
Come in!
(playful pensive music)
I'm sorry.
Hey!
I promise I won't use your
vulnerable moments against you.
(mellow pensive music)
I don't know how to dance.
Hey! (Kayli laughs)
Hey, the Carlyles need
to know how to cut a rug
and I don't wanna blow our cover.
I think we'll be fine!
My threat assessment says
the dance floor is a level five risk.
Hmm!
To my dignity.
(Kayli laughs)
Would you show me a few moves?
Ah?
Well, there's not a whole
lot of room in here.
I know a place.
(airy inspirational music)
Oh, so beautiful.
Okay, come on!
(mellow romantic music)
Oh, oh, oh
-Okay.
-Okay!
Start simple.
Yep!
Hand?
-Other hand.
-Okay.
There it is!
Okay.
Walk towards me.
I never thought
To the side.
There you go!
Oh!
-Back.
-Back?
There you are. Okay. Side.
I was a broken
Ow! Sorry!
Maybe this is a bad idea.
I didn't know Delta Force quit so easily.
It's never easy
Ready?
Being alone
Slow!
But no one can save me
Quick, quick, back.
You're doing great. That's
it! You're doing it!
-Yeah?
-Yes!
Quick, quick.
Slow.
-Good!
-Quick, quick.
Oh!
Dream that one day
Now dip me.
-No, thank you.
-I trust you.
One day I find someone like you
But there's something in
I've always wanted to do that!
You did it!
The way you hold me
You're actually doing really great!
Is that right?
I've got a pretty good teacher.
This way!
-[Mills] Oh!
-There we go.
Something in the way you show me
No one knows
Someone once told me that
love is in the details.
You make me believe I
(door clicks)
Sorry! I
I thought heard something.
It's okay. No!
Thank you, Devon.
Thank you!
(both laughing)
I feel like I just got
caught by the principal.
Yep!
Well, we have a very big
day tomorrow, Mr. Carlyle,
so we should probably head in.
Ah?
If you think a little interruption like that's
gonna stop me.
(dramatic romantic music)
(lips smacking)
Thanks for the dance lesson.
Anytime.
(upbeat pensive music)
Rini Jean looked okay, right?
I mean, even if it wasn't
the Elizabeth Taylor dress.
No, Rini Jean looked amazing!
Kind of like how you will
if you'd just sit still for a minute!
You don't have to do like
a bunch of stuff to me.
The inspo for your makeover
is Grace Kelly in "To Catch a Thief."
For good luck! Get it?
You don't have to say "Get it." (laughs)
So what are you wearing anyway?
(hair product spraying)
So I deconstructed
this big 1950s prom dress
and I upcycled this, like,
tulle adjacent situation
into an asymmetrical silhouette.
It's pink and poofy!
Oh! The fashion gods are slow clapping.
(phone dings)
It's Mills!
You got it bad, sweetie.
(bouncy playful music)
We kissed!
You kissed?
(both screaming cheerfully)
(crowd chattering)
(elevator bell dings)
(pensive romantic music)
(inspirational romantic music)
(inspirational romantic music continues)
Reporting for duty!
What?
You are so beautiful.
(wistful romantic music)
You look very handsome
yourself, soldier.
(vehicle whooshes)
Ah! My chariot awaits.
Oh, I think that might be
a bit of a liability issue, ma'am.
Oh, that's okay. I feel
very safe with my date.
Oh! So this is a date?
A work date!
Mm-mm! No, you said it.
I'm your date.
(Kayli gasps)
(cheerful romantic music)
You're right!
I will keep you safe.
But maybe we try this instead.
(horn honks)
Shall we?
Oh! Did you wear the socks?
(both laugh)
All right!
(horns honking)
(triumphant music)
(crowd chattering) (cameras snapping)
(uptempo dance music)
(cameras snapping)
(crowd cheering)
(cameras snapping)
They look incredible.
She looks like a fairytale
who wrote her own happily ever after.
Bingo!
(crowd cheering) (cameras snapping)
(crowd cheering) (crowd applauding)
Celine Lang Inc. Did very well tonight.
You did very well tonight.
That's not the Elizabeth Taylor dress.
Which made your job
even harder this week.
Kayli, I am so proud of you!
Don't you see that?
(crowd cheering) (cameras snapping)
That's all you, your ideas! You did that.
Shall we?
Yes! Wait, one more thing.
Oh!
Those long lens
cameras on the red carpet
pick up everything.
Thank you, Mr. Carlyle.
My pleasure, Mrs. Carlyle.
(airy triumphant music)
(crowd chattering) (cameras snapping)
(airy triumphant music continues)
(mellow upbeat music)
That big skirt with all
the mirrors appliqued to it
in the shape of a heart sort
of evokes Tiffany glass.
Nice situational awareness.
Thanks! Look at those
thigh-high sparkle boots. Woo!
How do all these emergency
exits lead out tonight?
I'm sure that most of the
museum has been shut off.
Look, there's a woodland
fairy. She's so beautiful!
Hey, if for any reason
we get separated tonight,
I'll meet you at the cheese station.
Okay.
I'll be the assistant
stylist wearing used tulle
who's about to get fired
for losing an Elizabeth Taylor dress.
(lips smack)
I would know you anywhere.
I'll get us drinks.
Okay!
(slow-paced upbeat dance music)
(guests chattering)
(Rini Jean gasps)
I didn't know you were gonna be here!
Hi!
I feel so capable and strong.
Oh, like I can take on the world.
Well, that is accurate.
Aw!
Someone's looking for you.
What?
Mrs. Carlyle! You remember Buck?
Buck! From Buck's Burgers!
I heard somebody say
the Carlyles were here,
and I had to meet you.
Hi!
You're the Carlyles, right?
Mm-hmm! Mm-hmm!
Mm-hmm!
Really big dill pickle company.
(Mills laughs)
(bright playful music)
Ah, I'm Buck of Buck's Burgers!
Buck!
You're our pickle supplier!
Yes, we are!
We are!
Buck!
We are!
We are.
I...
Buck! You're the Buck?
I just love your burgers. (Chuckles)
I wanna hear this story later.
So tell me how you got started.
Really big dill pickle company. Huh!
Who knew?
(Mills laughs)
So? (Clears throat)
Shall we dance?
You know what? I think we
should split up. Do a circle.
See if anyone looks suspicious.
Check you out.
(glasses clink) (playful cheerful music)
(uptempo dance music)
(guests chattering)
All day long she's trying to
I'll be right back.
Kayli, is that you?
(Kayli sighs)
Kayli! It's been years.
You look gorgeous.
I'm not surprised. Your eye is to die for.
Let me guess. All vintage,
all one-of-a-kind.
Love it!
Hello, Vivien.
I've wanted to say this
to you for years now.
I just wanted to apologize
for the whole invisible dress situation
because it was completely my fault
and I will never forgive
myself and I'm so, so sorry!
Honey, thank you.
To be honest, it was really hard.
After I left the superhero movie,
I thought my career was over.
But out of nowhere, I got this little Indie
that turned into a lot
of buzz for award season,
and then I was back on track.
That blue screen snafu was
the best twist of fate.
I've been wanting to thank you for years.
Are you kidding?
That little Indie was
where I met my husband.
Oh! Congratulations!
So thank you, Kayli. I mean it.
Who's that?
Um?
Don't keep him waiting. We'll talk later.
Okay. Bye.
Hey!
Hey, what's going on?
I thought I was saving
you from Vivien Thorpe.
Oh, that's so sweet.
I've always got your back.
Hmm! You're never gonna
believe what just happened.
Apparently the invisible
dress thing was a good thing.
She just thanked me for it.
Okay, so let me get this straight.
You have avoided being a
full stylist for years now
because you'd imagine that
you'd ruin someone's life.
In reality, you hadn't and
everything is perfectly fine.
I mean, when you put it that way.
When I put it that way?
Kayli, you are a wildly talented person.
You have to believe in yourself.
Yeah!
Well, let's not rush into anything.
That's fair.
I'll go first.
What?
Watching the stars align
(Kayli gasps)
Look at you! Between you and I
Circling in space
(mellow uptempo music)
Clouds up top, worlds collide
Something 'bout the way we levitate
(dancers chattering)
(mellow uptempo music continues)
(mellow uptempo music continues)
Oh, my goodness!
(Rini Jean gasping)
[Dancers] Oh!
Rini Jean, in every fairytale
there's a moment where magic happens.
(airy romantic music)
Standing here with you,
I know I found my magic.
Will you build a happily
ever after with me?
[Guests] Aw!
I've never been more sure of anything.
Yes! Yes!
(guests applauding) (guests cheering)
What's wrong?
The ring. It was, it was
just here. I just had it.
What?
Oh no!
It was, it was just here.
When was the last time you saw it?
I took it out of the
box. I put it in my pocket.
[Mills] Okay. Where exactly?
[Ollie] Um, red carpet, I was outside.
[Mills] Be very specific.
I was with security. I just left the car.
At bottom of the stairs on the red carpet,
I took it out of the box.
Nobody else was there!
[Mills] We'll find it.
(mysterious pensive music)
Hey! Hey!
Hey, stop!
Hey!
(footsteps clopping)
Hey, hey, hey!
I know you're Vivien Thorpe's
bodyguard. Where's the ring?
I'm gonna call the cops!
I'll tell you what.
You let me walk outta
here, you can have it.
No, no. I can't let you do that.
Problem?
No, no! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
You capture me, the ring's gone forever.
Ah! (Body thuds)
(body slams) (Mills grunts)
(Kayli sighs)
Nice catch!
Thanks.
(bright romantic music)
(guests cheering) (guests applauding)
(guests chattering)
(slow-tempo dance music)
Well done, Mrs. Carlyle.
I couldn't have done it
without you, Mr. Carlyle.
I'm glad you're okay.
That was kind of risky.
Honestly, I can't believe I followed him.
But there was so much at stake!
I know! An engagement.
My job! Celine's
company! Your promotion.
I wish we could stay here forever.
How about one last dance?
Okay.
Mills, sorry to interrupt.
That's okay.
The guy admitted everything.
It was crimes of opportunity.
He was grabbing things at parties.
We recovered all the items,
except the Elizabeth Taylor dress.
It's still missing.
Thank you.
(somber airy music)
I'll keep you updated.
Thank you!
(guests chattering)
I feel like I let you down.
No! No, there could be still
a chance we find the dress.
It's highly unlikely.
These standalone thefts, they're
usually long gone by now.
Well, I'm gonna keep looking
for the sake of my job.
We need to follow that thread and,
well, that was a terrible pun.
Look at everything you've
accomplished this week.
Celine would never get rid of you.
I hope you're right.
I just wanna go back to
the way my job used to be.
My normal life.
Yeah! I guess me too.
Um, when you get that promotion,
you're gonna come to
the LA location, right?
Mm-hmm.
Of course. Yeah! I'll be
there every seven months.
If I get it.
Okay! (Somber music)
Hey. Come here.
We had fun playing
make believe, didn't we?
This has been my favorite fairytale.
I'm sorry that it ends tomorrow.
You should go before I
say something embarrassing.
Don't worry about that now.
That thread pun already did the trick.
(Kayli laughs)
(mellow wistful music)
Hi, Celine! Hi! How was the wedding?
I have so many photos to show you.
It was a dream!
But the real headline is:
I heard you may deserve some time off.
Yeah, I was afraid of that.
The look you created for the engagement
will be remembered forever.
Like in a good way?
Oh, I could feel the fun
in those looks. The joy!
You had a good time in Chicago.
Well, yes, but I was a
little distracted, you know,
wondering if maybe your
business will be bankrupted.
Oh no!
I've been getting calls all
morning from new clients.
Business is booming!
That's amazing!
Wow!
(seagulls squawking)
Hey, Mills! I talked to Celine and...
Oh! (Phone rings)
I'm sorry, Kayli. Mills is gone.
Oh, no big deal. It's lunchtime. Yeah.
No, he left for good.
He gave notice.
He doesn't work for Park Lux anymore.
What? Why?
You know Mills.
He felt it would be better
for the reputation of Park
Lux hotels if he left.
I tried to convince him otherwise,
but he didn't want the hotel to suffer.
That's ridiculous.
And if it's anyone's fault, it's mine.
He turned in his work phone too.
(somber wistful music)
Okay, thanks!
(guests chattering)
Miss Simone?
There's a message for you.
Oh, thank you.
(paper rustling)
(bright wistful music)
(patrons chattering)
Hi!
I wanted to thank you.
I have love, loved my looks this week.
All this sustainable,
historic, one-of-a kind stuff.
I really wanna remake
my image like that.
Oh, you absolutely
should. It's so rewarding.
I mean, there are so
many amazing treasures
to find out there.
You're gonna love it!
I mean, obviously I have
an unusual situation though,
starting a new life with Oliver.
So happy for you.
Thank you.
You know, he's starting a world tour.
18 months, huge arenas!
And I'm going with him.
It's like the coolest thing I've ever heard.
I'm gonna need a wardrobe
that works in all these different places.
Well, you should talk
to Celine about that.
I did, but she won't
take me on as a client.
What?
Because I told her I
want you to be my stylist.
Wait!
Okay, wait.
Don't worry. Celine
is happy for you, Kayli.
Now, I leave for London next week.
I'm gonna need someone
to travel with me
for at least the next 18 months.
Then after the tour
we'll be doing press for
the Elizabeth Taylor project
and then it's award season.
Wow!
That's a lot of really exciting
stuff coming up for you.
I'm so honored.
And obviously this is a huge opportunity
to showcase sustainable fashion.
But I mean, I, I, I...
You know what?
Nevermind. I would absolutely love to!
Great!
I'm sure you're gonna need some
time to sort out your life.
Yeah! Maybe some time to pack up.
Maybe sublet my apartment in LA.
Oh! I'm so excited.
Meet you in London, darling. (Chuckles)
He turned in his work phone
so I can't get ahold of him
and he didn't say goodbye.
It doesn't really make any sense.
We haven't seen him.
I'm sorry, honey.
I can't believe this.
Knowing him,
he probably just needs
some time alone to think.
I think I know where he is.
Thank you!
(cheerful pensive music)
Hey! What are you doing?
[Mills] Well.
Were you gonna leave
without saying goodbye?
I was about to head back to the hotel
to drop off my spare key,
and I thought I'd stop here first
to decide what I was gonna say to you.
I can't believe you're gonna quit!
Wait, what? Quit?
Mills, you are so good at your job.
There will be other promotions, okay?
Just because it's not
perfect, you just quit?
That's no way to live! I should know!
Kayli! Errol fired me.
What? He said he tried
to convince you to stay.
(playful mysterious music)
We have to call Detective Selma!
Show me camera four.
Show me camera seven.
What are you doing here?
The cops will be here any minute.
Oh, you've made a mistake.
No, they didn't!
Mills, you were right.
It was in the one place we never looked!
Errol's office!
How could you steal it? Why?
Don't look so surprised, kid.
And no wonder there was
nothing on the security footage.
You thought you could
pin it on the other thief
and get away with it.
I gave my life to Park Lux,
and they wanna promote you.
Meanwhile, what about
all the years I put in?
Well, they're certainly lost now.
Insurance would've covered everything.
It's a victimless crime.
Except maybe you don't get
your hot shot promotion.
But I get my retirement in style.
Unfortunately, it doesn't
work that way, Errol.
You're under arrest.
(bright pensive music)
Dress okay? Is it damaged?
Everything looks intact.
I mean, I'll take a closer
look in my room, but.
Gosh, we're very lucky. It's so delicate.
-Devon, call the museum.
-Tell them the good news!
Yes, sir!
(uptempo cheerful music)
I still can't believe it.
The dress was here the whole time.
It's crazy!
[Biker] Look out! (Bike bell dinging)
Ooh!
I got ya. Since you're
always there for me.
And I wanna be!
(horns honking)
So looks like you're not fired anymore.
No! They already gave
my old job to Devon.
And I can't take it back from him.
Yeah!
And honestly, I think I'm
ready to leave Park Lux.
Look, I also have something to tell you.
Um...
Okay.
It looks like I'm not gonna be
an assistant stylist anymore.
Of course you're not.
And you were right!
Oh! Go on!
If I wanna be brave, I have to be scared.
And I'm terrified
because my new job is to travel
with Rini Jean and Ollie K.
Ollie K!
For an 18-month world tour?
How did you know?
Guess who just signed on
as their head of security?
Are you serious?
Yeah!
They couldn't have found anyone better.
Kayli, how about you and
I travel the world together?
Maybe we can find some time
for some work-life balance.
Yeah, I think so.
I think I finally figured out my priorities
and got them right.
Me too.
You know that mission
I've been looking for?
Mm-hmm!
It's you.
The Carlyles travel the globe.
