Remastered Victoria is a masterpiece. The shift from mockery to vulnerability when Max tells her she can be better. The way she glances over at Kate during this convo, the TEARS IN HER EYES 😭😭😭

Do people even really appreciate the writing of this show...? It's so great. Let me just focus on "Bitchtoria," season 5. It is so subtle, but shows off her character to a T. Whenever she and Brooke are, for lack of a better word, getting along, she makes sure to state that she is a business partner; that Clothes Over Bro's is a company; it is not personal, it is business. BUT when Brooke argues with Victoria, when things aren't going Victoria's way, she pulls the "mother-card" because she knows how much Brooke wants her mother. She calls Brooke her "dutiful daughter" and says she is not just an employee, she is her mother when Brooke fires her. She says at one point that Brooke wouldn't just lose a business partner, she would lose a mother too. It's her way of manipulation and shows how actually evil Victoria is in Season 5. Seriously, it's something as subtle phrasing that made this show so spectacular.

I have been a terrible mother. I have a daughter who is strong and bright. Kind-hearted. So beautiful. And I've nearly broken her with my inability to open my heart. But I haven't broken her. She's just as strong and beautiful and kind-hearted as ever. She simply misnamed her company. Because if this boy Julian loves you? And you love him? That's all that matters. That is the most important thing and the clothes can wait. This is for you. It's the company- it's all yours. 100%. I'd rather have my daughter than a company. I loved this company and that was wrong. I should have loved you more and the company less. I just didn't know how.

Victoria: Haley.. Haley listen to me. I know you're in a great deal of pain right now, but I also know you;re aware of the choices you're making. So I want you to listen to me... and then you can say something snarky and dismissive and then be on your way, but please sit.

Haley: Okay..

Victoria: Your mother was proud of you. And it would break her heart to know that her beautiful, kind, inspired daughter was suffering like this. I know that, because I’m a mother, too. And so are you. Our lives are difficult. Our losses are unbearable sometimes. So grieve. Struggle. Find your way back on your own terms and in your own way. But remember this: your mother would want you to be vibrant and inspiring in the face of her loss. She would want you to fight your pain with all you’ve got. Because that’s the daughter she raised. And that’s the daughter she loved.

Victoria : Brooke?

Brooke : It's nothing.

Victoria : You're crying.

Brooke : Mom, I can't have kids.

Victoria : Well, I don't accept it. I just don't. We'll see a specialist... the best that money can buy.

Brooke : I've been to a specialist. If there was anything that could be done, I would be doing it.

Victoria : Well... It doesn't mean you can't have a family. We'll adopt.

Brooke : It's not the same.

Victoria : Yes, it is.

Brooke : I just wanted it so bad.

Victoria : How did Julian take the news?

Brooke : He told Alex he wants kids.

Victoria : Well, maybe he's not the one for you.

Brooke : But what if I'm the one for him?

Millie: I know you Victoria, what do you want?

Victoria: Is that “I’m sorry” in coke whore land?

[allisonargntss]

Victoria: When I was young, there was a boy that loved me. And I loved him back. But he wasn’t from my circle of friends and he was different from what my parents expected, so I let him go. And not a day has gone by that I don’t regret it.

Brooke: Why haven’t you told me that?

Victoria: Because I’m a terrible mother. I have a daughter that is strong and bright. Kind-hearted and so beautiful, and I’ve nearly broken her with my inability to open my heart. But I haven’t broken her. She’s just as strong and beautiful and kind-hearted as ever. She simply misnamed her company. Because if this boy Julian loves you, and you love him, that’s all that matters. That is the most important thing, and the clothes can wait. This is for you.

Brooke: What is it?

Victoria: It’s the company. It’s all yours, 100%.

Brooke: But why?

Victoria: I’d rather have my daughter than a company.

Brooke: But you love this company.

Victoria: Yeah, but I was wrong. I should’ve loved you more, the company less, but I just didn’t know how.

Brooke: Mom. I want you to stay on and run things from New York.

Victoria: You’re keeping me?

Brooke: You’re good at what you do. And besides, you’re my mother.

Victoria: My daughter. I love you so much. And I’m so proud of you.
