00:00Well, that should just about do it, unless there's anything else.
00:07Uh, I mean, I would just love to reiterate how grateful I am to be back at Forrester,
00:13a company that I love.
00:16I am too. Feels like home again around here.
00:22Home that's had a few improvements done to it.
00:25I am genuinely excited about some of the ideas you implemented here,
00:30especially with the fragrance line.
00:33The numbers have been really impressive.
00:37Well, it was a risk, but it was one that I'm thankful that's paying off.
00:42Indeed.
00:44Actually, I, uh, I was thinking about investing more into it.
00:50Yeah?
00:51Yes.
00:52I think it's time we get Daphne back from Paris.
01:16Want to talk about it?
01:19Talk about what?
01:21Cream, no sugar.
01:23Whatever it is.
01:25The heavy thing on your mind?
01:27I've been heavy here.
01:29The light thing on your mind, then.
01:31I can tell there's something.
01:33You were a bit withdrawn last night.
01:36More than usual, I mean.
01:40There's the great Dr. Hayes.
01:42Nothing gets past her, huh?
01:44It was big of me to let you have the night to brood without saying anything.
01:47Mm-hmm.
01:49So?
01:53Nothing.
01:53It's not, it's not a, it's not, it's not important.
01:58It's not, it's, um...
01:59So, I walked in on Brooke, and, um, man from her past.
02:09From your past.
02:12Everyone's favorite sailor is back in town.
02:15You okay?
02:30Uh, yeah.
02:33Yeah, fine.
02:35Why?
02:35Oh, I just always can tell when your mind is elsewhere.
02:40And I know you're missing Ridge, so I'm sure you're thinking about him.
02:47Yeah.
02:48Always.
02:50But there's something else?
02:55Uh, a blast from my past kind of shook things up for me yesterday.
03:03I mean, I'm not complaining.
03:04It was all good.
03:05It was just unexpected.
03:06What was?
03:10A surprise visitor.
03:12Nick Maroney.
03:38Good morning.
03:39I know you're on your own at��니다.
03:50Thank you, Linda.
03:58Thank you, Linda.
04:00Daphne was obviously pivotal in creating the fragrance line,
04:08but now that it's been established,
04:10it might be fun to see it evolve,
04:12bring in some other talent from around the world.
04:16And she made a play for Carter,
04:19and we're engaged now, so.
04:22Well, it's all the reason why you shouldn't be concerned.
04:25I mean, look at that rock on your finger.
04:27That isn't exactly subtle.
04:28I think Daphne's going to understand what that means.
04:33Well, there's understanding, and then there's respecting.
04:38Well, I have to think that Daphne will respect our engagement,
04:42and she is the most famous nose in Paris.
04:46Exactly.
04:48You two hired her for a reason.
04:51I don't even want to think about launching another fragrance
04:54without Daphne's involvement.
04:55We need her to maximize our success.
05:04You saw Nick?
05:06Yeah, right here at Forrester.
05:08I had no idea he was back in town.
05:10Oh, I didn't either.
05:11He just showed up.
05:13Wasn't planned or anything.
05:16It was actually really nice to see him.
05:18So he's back in L.A.
05:22I wonder why.
05:25Or do I even have to ask?
05:27He knows about Rich and Taylor.
05:29So Nick Moroney's back in town?
05:34Yeah.
05:36Not just back in town.
05:37He's in my office.
05:37Why is he in my office?
05:39I don't swim to his boat.
05:40Oh, so...
05:40It's funny.
05:42So Brooke was meeting up with Nick at Forrester.
05:45Interesting.
05:47Doesn't seem like you were too happy to see him.
05:49No desire to reconnect, start fresh.
05:53Joking, mostly.
05:55I mean, time heals all wounds, no?
05:58Well, it doesn't heal you from being a pompous ass, apparently.
06:02Okay.
06:04So, how does it make you feel?
06:08How does...
06:08What, Nick being back in town?
06:10How do you think it makes me feel?
06:11No.
06:12More, how does it make you feel seeing him with Brooke?
06:22It bothered you, didn't it?
06:40What, that kiss just now?
06:41No, it absolutely did not.
06:43We gotta talk about it, Hope.
06:45We don't hide our feelings from each other.
06:49So Steffi wants to bring Daphne back.
06:51It wasn't exactly on the top of my wish list,
06:57but it does make business sense to have Daphne back in L.A.,
07:01especially if we are launching another fragrance.
07:05Yeah.
07:06Yeah, but it's...
07:08It's hard for you, right?
07:10Separating business from personal.
07:15I'm not insecure about us.
07:17It's...
07:18It's Daphne that I don't trust.
07:23I don't trust her at all.
07:25Really?
07:39The numbers are that high.
07:41Through the roof.
07:43You should be so proud.
07:44I am.
07:45I'm not just sitting around either, you know.
07:48You received my little symbol?
07:50Yeah, I have.
07:52I actually have it right in front of me.
07:53And it smells fantastic.
07:56I see you took my suggestion for the men's cologne this time around.
07:59An interesting challenge.
08:01One I think I tackled successfully.
08:04I would never doubt you.
08:07Look, this is unbelievable.
08:09I think we have another hit on our hands.
08:11I'm glad you think so.
08:12There's just one thing.
08:16We have a bit of a PR challenge.
08:18Oh, no.
08:19What do you mean?
08:20Well, how can we launch a new fragrance when the creator is halfway around the world?
08:25I see.
08:27Well, not too much of a challenge in these modern times, no?
08:31We need you back in L.A.
08:34I want my friend back.
08:35So, Nick finds out that Ridge and Taylor are back together again, and he decides to track you down.
08:48Must feel nice to be pursued.
08:50Oh, Katie.
08:51No, I'm telling you.
08:52For real.
08:53I mean, he finds out this information.
08:55He shows up coincidentally when you're single, or maybe not so coincidentally.
09:00Well, he definitely turned on the charm.
09:05Mm-hmm.
09:06Go on.
09:08There may have been a kiss.
09:10Oh, a kiss.
09:11I was right.
09:13He wants to start things up again.
09:14Or he's just trying to prove a point that there's more fish in the sea.
09:19Or more sailors in the ocean.
09:22Sailors who are now international shipping magnets.
09:27That's true.
09:30He couldn't believe that I was still in the same situation, stuck in that same place with Ridge that I'd been in for years.
09:41He said that I deserve better.
09:45You do.
09:47How do you feel about that?
09:55You obviously weren't thrilled seeing your brother.
09:58He's my half-brother.
09:59Calm down.
09:59And this doesn't even feel like that.
10:01She's like, he's my third cousin, twice removed.
10:04Seeing your brother with Brooke.
10:07He's such a tool.
10:08He's just a tool.
10:09That's what he is.
10:10And I don't say that about a lot of people.
10:12Are you worried that Brooke might be going back to something with him again?
10:17What?
10:17I don't like seeing them together.
10:21It's because I have a history.
10:22You know my history with him.
10:24It's complicated.
10:25Yeah.
10:25To say the least.
10:26But I also know Brooke's history with him.
10:30That's not...
10:30I just don't like the guy.
10:33I never will.
10:35And look, if Brooke wants to spend time with him, that has nothing to do with me.
10:39That's up to her.
10:39Look, I understand why you don't trust Daphne.
10:57And if she comes back to L.A., you trust me, right?
11:02Of course, I trust you.
11:05I wouldn't have accepted your proposal if I didn't.
11:10But having Daphne back will serve as a constant reminder of how she tried to come between us.
11:21I'm touched, Steffi.
11:34You're thinking I'm needed there, but I don't think it.
11:37I know it.
11:38Look, I am blown away by what you created.
11:41And your clientele will react the same.
11:44It's the sun that sells.
11:46Not the face behind the nose.
11:48It doesn't make sense to launch a new fragrance when the creator is not here to be part of it, Daphne.
11:54Wait, is this blackmail?
11:57Of course not.
11:58It's just a suggestion from the company's co-CEO.
12:03Mm-hmm.
12:05Look, I appreciate your enthusiasm.
12:07But you know why I left Los Angeles.
12:11I know, I know.
12:12I just thought, since some time has passed.
12:16I heard they're engaged.
12:18They are.
12:22Look, I'm not trying to make you uncomfortable in any way.
12:25This is business.
12:27And my father and I, we have discussed you at length.
12:31You need to be here, Daphne.
12:33Come back to L.A.
12:35I'm so sorry, Steffi.
12:37I, I, I can't be there right now.
12:43I can't think about Carter.
12:48I said the same thing to Ridge.
12:50That you deserve better?
12:52Yeah.
12:52I really believe I do.
12:54And I'm not talking about just being with another man.
12:57It's just, Ridge needs to understand that he needs to treat me better.
13:02Yeah.
13:02Right?
13:03Yes.
13:04I love him.
13:05And I always will.
13:07Of course.
13:08And, and he loves you too.
13:10And he always will.
13:11But I urged him to come back to me.
13:16Okay.
13:17Mm-hmm.
13:17Well, maybe, maybe this is happening at the right time.
13:21Nick coming back at this particular moment in your life.
13:24Well, maybe it's not for the reason you're thinking.
13:27Maybe this was a push for Ridge.
13:30What do you mean?
13:32It was quite fascinating, his reaction.
13:37Wait a second.
13:39Ridge saw Nick too?
13:41Mm-hmm.
13:42He walked in on us.
13:46Do you think he was jealous?
13:53I commend you.
13:54Um, acknowledging that Brooke's free to make her own decisions about who she chooses to spend time with.
14:01Very impressive.
14:02Come on, man.
14:04I, all I'm saying is that I can have an opinion on a bad decision.
14:09I just don't like the guy.
14:10That's all.
14:12A lot of bad history between the two of you.
14:13Yeah, a lot.
14:14I hate him.
14:16Ridge.
14:16I do.
14:17Just like you hate Bill.
14:19Gee, I wonder where the similarities are there.
14:21Oh, that's not even, this, none of this has anything to do with Brooke.
14:24It doesn't.
14:25You sure?
14:26Yeah.
14:29Nick and Bill, that's, they're just, they're both egomaniacs and it bothers me.
14:32That's it.
14:33Your opinion.
14:33You're entitled to it.
14:35Just like Brooke is entitled to hers.
14:39Entitled to see Nick.
14:41Even if that's not what you want.
14:43You do know that, right, Ridge?
14:45Mm-hmm.
14:46You have every right to feel this way.
14:58I get it, Hope, but you have nothing to worry about.
15:01I know.
15:02I have complete faith in you.
15:05Well, good.
15:07But I meant this whole situation.
15:09I highly doubt that Steffi's gonna get what she wants.
15:12What, you don't think Daphne will come back?
15:13No, you remember when she took the job.
15:15She didn't exactly mince words when it came to her feelings about being here.
15:19Well, she certainly prefers Paris.
15:21Exactly.
15:23And now that she's there, she's not gonna pack her bags.
15:26That is, unless she is not moving for the location, but for a man.
15:32And Amy.
15:34Mm-hmm.
15:35Hope, seriously, you have nothing to worry about.
15:41Your work's incredible.
16:00Incredible?
16:00Incredible?
16:03Is that what you're looking for, Carlton Walton?
16:06You're remarkable.
16:22You're special.
16:24But Hope's the one for me.
16:29Au revoir.
16:30God, I want him.
16:31Rich definitely wasn't pleased to see Nick.
16:39I'm sure the feeling was mutual.
16:41I mean, they were both cordial enough.
16:44Mm-hmm.
16:45But when Nick left the room, he voiced his opinion.
16:48Yeah.
16:49I bet.
16:49Yeah.
16:50He told me to stay away from him.
16:52So, uh, let me get this straight.
16:55Rich can move on with Taylor, but you have to stay away from Nick, and that's fair how?
17:01He said that Nick isn't good for me.
17:03Hmm.
17:04Maybe he's just being protective.
17:08Or maybe he's jealous.
17:09I understand you wanting to take care of Brooke, and you care about her.
17:19We have a son together.
17:21But she's a grown woman.
17:23She can take care of herself.
17:26What are you saying right now, Anon?
17:28Well, if she and Nick are finding their way back to each other...
17:31Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
17:32That's not hard.
17:32They're not finding their way back to each other.
17:34This is...
17:35They had one conversation.
17:36That's not what that is.
17:37But what if it is what it is?
17:42Then that's fine.
17:44That's...
17:44Yeah, then that's...
17:46That's her thing.
17:47If she wants to do that, then she can do that.
17:50All I'm saying is I don't like the guy.
17:52I never will.
17:56Okay?
17:57We good?
18:07All I'm saying is I don't like the guy.
18:08All I'm saying is I don't like the guy.
18:08I don't like the guy.
18:09I don't like the guy.
18:10I don't like the guy.
18:10I don't like the guy.
18:11I don't like the guy.
18:12I don't like the guy.
18:12I don't like the guy.
18:13I don't like the guy.
18:14I don't like the guy.
18:14I don't like the guy.
18:15I don't like the guy.
18:16I don't like the guy.
18:16I don't like the guy.
18:17I don't like the guy.
18:18I don't like the guy.
18:19I don't like the guy.
18:20I don't like the guy.
18:21I don't like the guy.
18:22I don't like the guy.
18:23I don't like the guy.
18:24I don't like the guy.
