00:03You wouldn't have accepted his proposal unless you really loved him.
00:08Of course, I love him.
00:11Carter is very special to me.
00:14But you love Liam, too.
00:16Well, yes, I mean, he's Beth's father, so we're always going to be close.
00:21I think it's more than that.
00:24I know your feelings for Liam have re-emerged.
00:27But I'm just wondering what that means.
00:31If you're willing to give your family with Liam another try.
00:38Sweetie, you know I will always love your mommy.
00:43I know.
00:44But if she and Carter don't get married...
00:48But you do like Carter.
00:51I do. He's very nice.
00:53And he also makes your mom happy.
00:59He's good to her.
01:00You make her happy, too, Daddy.
01:02She laughs at all your jokes.
01:06Especially the corny ones.
01:09Excuse me?
01:11Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:12You saying my jokes are corny?
01:15What do you call an angry carrot?
01:18A steamed veggie?
01:19Hey, you know what?
01:20Now that I hear it out loud, it's not...
01:22It's just not my best.
01:25Mom doesn't care.
01:28She laughs anyways.
01:29Because she loves you.
01:32And you love her.
01:34So why don't you get back together again?
01:37You feel really strongly about this, don't you?
01:51I think hope for the future's been sidelined long enough.
01:53I don't know why it was sidelined, Carter.
01:55You forgave me for the takeover.
01:57And hope she came around, she saw the error of her wage.
01:59She apologized.
02:01We both know what a success that line was.
02:03It deserves another chance.
02:04You think hope deserves another chance?
02:08She gave everything to hope for the future.
02:11And losing it, it costs her a lot.
02:12But she can make it thrive again.
02:14You're fighting really hard for that young lady.
02:17I love her.
02:18And I want my future wife to have everything she deserves.
02:21So what do you say?
02:24Will you give hope for the future another chance?
02:26I've got to say, I'm impressed.
02:43I'm about for hope over and over again.
02:46Tell me it's not for nothing.
02:48If you need more reasons to reinstate hope for the future,
02:51because I have dozens of reasons.
02:52Carter, I don't.
02:53I agree with you.
02:59Time to bring back hope for the future.
03:02Seriously?
03:09Oh, you're right.
03:11Hope is too talented to be sidelined for too long.
03:15Oh, wow.
03:16I don't know what to say, Rich.
03:17I just, I can't wait to tell my fiancee the terrific news.
03:21Man, what a way to start our lives together as husband and wife.
03:26It's not that I wouldn't want to be married to your mom again.
03:32It's just complicated.
03:36You always say that when you think I won't understand.
03:43Wow.
03:44That, you just totally called me out.
03:49That, you just...
03:51Hello.
03:53Am I interrupting?
03:54Yes.
03:55Thank you so much.
03:56Come on in, please.
03:58Okay.
03:59Hi, Beth.
04:00How are you?
04:02I'm good.
04:03Good.
04:03I heard all about the daddy-daughter dance.
04:05You must be so excited.
04:06I really am.
04:07Well, that's great to hear.
04:09Hopefully not too excited that you can't open this.
04:14Just a little something for your special night.
04:17Oh, wow.
04:19It's so pretty.
04:20Thank you so much.
04:22Oh, my gosh.
04:22You're welcome so much.
04:25Do you like it?
04:26Okay, I've got this for your mom as well, so maybe you and your dad could get this to her.
04:31Ah, yes.
04:32We absolutely will, won't we?
04:34Thanks so much.
04:35Yeah.
04:36Can I ask you something, Ivy?
04:38Of course.
04:38Go for it.
04:40I asked my daddy if he wants to marry my mommy.
04:43I think he does.
04:45What do you think?
04:51Like, I won't deny that everything Liam and I have been through recently has reminded me about our life together and how good we were together, which is something that dad, by the way, is constantly reminding me of.
05:09Wait, so Deacon is pushing for you to be with Liam again?
05:14Let's just say he's not Carter's biggest fan.
05:19Because Carter didn't support you when you needed it the most.
05:23Is that how you see it?
05:24That Carter failed me somehow?
05:27Whether he did or didn't, I'm sure it wasn't intentional.
05:30Okay, so what does that mean, then?
05:35Oh, come on, Mom.
05:37You are rarely one to withhold your opinion, so tell me, who do you think I should spend my life with?
05:45Carter?
05:47Or Liam?
05:48So I'm guessing you want to tell Hope the good news, or do you want me to steal your thunder?
06:02No, I think I got it.
06:04I'd like to tell my fiancé the news about her line coming back.
06:07Thank you very much.
06:09I know things are a little weird.
06:10We got off track, but I don't think it's going to happen again.
06:13I agree.
06:14Okay, because we're all team Hope for the Future now, right?
06:16Especially when the words are written.
06:18So let me ask you something.
06:19This whole thing about the bachelor party, what are you looking for?
06:24I haven't thought about it.
06:26Hey.
06:26Sorry, I'm interrupting.
06:29No, I'm actually going to go see Brooke.
06:31Did you need me for something?
06:33Carter, actually a budgeting concern.
06:37All right, cool.
06:38It's all yours.
06:43By the way, I overheard Ridge.
06:47He's being your best man.
06:50Has the wedding date been set yet?
06:52Not yet, but soon.
06:54Very soon.
07:06Wow, that is quite the question there, sweetie.
07:09Yes, one that you do not have to answer.
07:12Did I say something wrong?
07:14No, no.
07:16Okay, no.
07:17Listen, come here.
07:18Listen.
07:20You know that your mom and you are, like, all I ever think about.
07:26You're the most important thing in the world to me, and we're a family, and we're always going to be a family.
07:31Just...
07:32Mom is going to marry Carter.
07:36What if she wants to marry you instead?
07:39Well, um, I think the only thing your dad and your mom are thinking about right now is how much they love you, and how much I am looking forward to this daddy-daughter thing we're about to do.
07:57That's two things, daddy.
08:01I can't wait either.
08:03It's going to be so cool.
08:05Yeah, especially now that you have this beautiful bracelet and necklace.
08:32We're, uh, it's, uh, we're doing it at sunset.
08:36Oh.
08:36So.
08:37The daddy-daughter dance.
08:38Yeah.
08:39I mean, yep.
08:39Yeah.
08:40It's everything better at sunset, I feel like.
08:42Mm-hmm.
08:45I'm really sorry she put you on the spot.
08:47Always.
08:48It's really okay.
08:49You know, she just wants her dad and her mom back together.
08:52Which is what you want, too, right?
08:58So that has weighed in, and now it's your chance, mom.
09:02Oh.
09:03Sweetheart.
09:04This is your decision and yours alone.
09:07I know, but I respect and value your opinion.
09:11So really, mom, you can tell me.
09:14Tell me, please.
09:15Just be honest.
09:15Tell me what you think.
09:17Okay.
09:17Well, first, I will start by saying I admire both men.
09:23Still, as wonderful as Carter has been, there has been some difficult times, you know, like the fallout, with the coup, the takeover, the connection he had with Daphne.
09:36And you and Liam, you have a wonderful history together, even though there's been some painful times.
09:45Well, that's not unlike you and Ridge.
09:47Yes, but even during those hard moments, I would focus just on the good.
09:56And I would ask myself, is this man worth fighting for?
10:02Maybe you should ask yourself that question about Liam.
10:18What's going on in that head of yours?
10:21Oh, you know.
10:23I don't, but I wouldn't have asked.
10:26Yes.
10:27Well, like I said earlier, you seem very happy.
10:32I am.
10:34And like I also said, hope appears to be committed to you.
10:41But?
10:43But a wedding date hasn't been set up yet.
10:47Part of me can't help worrying, Carter.
10:51I don't want to see your heart broken.
10:56Remember, you're not just up against a man.
10:59You're up against a family.
11:09Well, thank you for making that beautiful necklace bracelet combo for Beth.
11:18I mean, clearly she likes it.
11:20Oh, it's really no worries.
11:22You know, I made the same one for Kelly when it was her dance.
11:25And I just figured it was just a matter of time before Beth wanted her own.
11:28Yeah, that's such an Ivy thing to do.
11:31Just thinking about others all the time.
11:33You know, she clearly loves you so much, Liam.
11:40And she obviously really wants her mum and dad back together.
11:43Picked up on that subtle undertone, did you?
11:49Mm-hmm.
11:50Yep.
11:53Look, Hope is the woman you love.
11:57And yes, she is.
11:58She's engaged to Carter, but they're not married.
12:02You know what?
12:03I want to give you my two cents.
12:04I really think, Hope would be crazy to give up an opportunity to reunite her with you and your sweet little family.
12:18Just think back, honey, to the good times and the not-so-good times with Leah and your sweet angel, Beth.
12:26And what it felt like to find out that you were having a sweet little girl.
12:31Oh, my gosh.
12:32I fell in love with Beth from the moment I knew I was carrying her.
12:37I was so overjoyed and happy.
12:41So was Liam.
12:45And I went into early labor on Catalina, and that joy turned into one of the darkest moments of my life.
12:53And we had lost our baby.
12:58All those months following, it was devastating.
13:01I mean, you remember me carrying around that ultrasound photo for months.
13:08I wasn't sure I was going to get through it.
13:13And then a miracle happened, and Liam told me that our little girl was actually alive.
13:23And you're right.
13:24I think back on all of the pain and heartache that Liam and I have somehow triumphed over together.
13:33And maybe that is why I couldn't really fully commit to Thomas, because in a way, he was a part of that pain.
13:41But despite what Thomas and Rhys and all of the others did, you have Beth.
13:54You have your miracle child, sweetheart.
13:58And you were also given another miracle when you found out Liam wasn't dying.
14:03And yet, you are wearing another man's ring.
14:13Speaking of, I really should go meet up with Carter and find out what he wants to talk about.
14:21So what are you going to do?
14:22What would you do if you were me?
14:27Just follow your heart.
14:30Let it lead you into the future.
14:34Whether that's with Liam or with Carter.
14:37Do you have any idea how much I love you, Mrs. Forrester?
15:02I think I do.
15:05Yeah?
15:05Of course, if you'd like to show me.
15:13Where did you disappear to from here?
15:16All right.
15:17I come bearing news.
15:21Okay.
15:24Carter made another pitch for Hope's line.
15:28And?
15:29And I agreed.
15:33I think we should bring hope for the future back.
15:35Oh!
15:36What?
15:37Oh, my gosh!
15:38I'm so grateful.
15:40Yeah?
15:41How grateful.
15:42Oh, so grateful.
15:44I can't wait for Hope to find out.
15:47I think Carter's telling her right now.
15:48I think Carter's telling her right now.
15:49I think Carter's telling her right now.
15:59I don't want to know.
16:08I don't know.
16:10I don't know.
16:11I don't know.
16:12I don't know.
16:12It still could happen for us, home.
16:42What's that smile about?
16:54Thank you for coming.
16:57What did you want to talk about?
17:00Just something I want you to see.
17:03Okay, let me guess.
17:04Is it a calendar with potential wedding dates?
17:09Actually, it's business.
17:13Mm-hmm.
17:14Something I believe will be a great addition to Forrester Creations.
17:18And I like your feedback.
17:22Okay.
17:24I made a little presentation.
17:28I call it the past and future coming full circle.
17:32Now, hope for the future was cutting edge.
17:35There was nothing like it in the fashion world.
17:37It had a fresh design perspective, but it had an inspiring message.
17:41It was positive.
17:42We need that again.
17:46Okay, so are you trying to tell me that Forrester Creations is going to launch a new clothing line?
17:54Yes and no.
17:57I made my case to Ridge again.
18:04And he agreed it's time.
18:06Time to reinstate your line.
18:09Hope for the future is back.
18:12Are you serious?
18:17You're not joking?
18:19No, no, no, no.
18:20I know what it means to you.
18:22And I never gave up.
18:23I never gave up trying to get it back for you.
18:26And I guess I finally wore Ridge down.
18:28There is nothing I wouldn't do for you, Hope.
