00:00I didn't mean to do it. It was a horrible, tragic accident. I would never take another person's life.
00:06You're the one that ran down Luna that night?
00:11I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I killed your daughter.
00:19I'm telling you, son. Katie nailed it.
00:21Agreed.
00:23When you talk about insight, this is a generational company that we're dealing with.
00:28A lot of pride and emotion involved. And family members with a stake.
00:32Most importantly, the daughter. And Katie figured out a way to sway her. She's key.
00:38Really? How is that?
00:41It turns out that the daughter's husband owns the small metal fabrication company.
00:48As it happens, Spencer's European antennas are coming up for retrofits.
00:52Now, I had no idea how many fittings and bushings are involved in a single antenna.
01:00But it's more than this guy and his small-time fabrication company could ever dream of.
01:06So we kick him the contract, and the daughter falls in line.
01:10And then you close the acquisition.
01:13Further proving what I have been saying forever.
01:17Katie's talents, and wills for that matter, are being wasted at Forrester Creations.
01:25Have I told you lately how beautiful you are?
01:28Oh, actually, yes. Yes, you did when we woke up this morning. Remember?
01:34Oh, at breakfast.
01:36Okay.
01:37And then in the car, on the way here.
01:38So I haven't told you lately.
01:39Yeah.
01:39So let me do it now.
01:40You are as beautiful, standing in front of me as you were the first day I laid eyes on you.
01:45You're so sweet.
01:47You know, I have to still pinch myself.
01:50I just can't believe that we're together.
01:53All these years later.
01:55And we're married again.
01:57For the final time.
01:59Until I take my dying breath.
02:01Don't say that.
02:02Don't even joke.
02:04We're going to have many more adventures together.
02:07Every day with you is an adventure.
02:10And every night that thing was...
02:12Oh, yeah, that was amazing.
02:13I can't forget that.
02:18Oh, sorry to interrupt.
02:21Although I'm not surprised to find the two of you in each other's arms.
02:24Of course.
02:34Katie likes her work in PR.
02:42Yeah.
02:43Well, she's damn good at it.
02:45She loves fashion.
02:47She's damn good at a lot of things.
02:49Well, that's for sure.
02:51Especially being a mom.
02:52She did an amazing job raising Will.
02:54Don't do that, where you sell yourself short.
02:58You were there, too.
02:59Well, not the way I should have been, Liam.
03:02I mean, I was here.
03:03I was running this empire.
03:05When there are times that I certainly should have been there for Will in the way that Katie was.
03:11I mean, my priorities were out of whack.
03:12Right?
03:13It's no wonder that Katie divorced me.
03:15I mean, sure.
03:17But marriage is complicated, and you did your best.
03:21No, Liam.
03:21I didn't do my best.
03:23I failed Katie and Will and myself.
03:26But fortunately, I'm not that guy anymore.
03:29I've changed.
03:30Okay, well, that's an understatement.
03:32I mean, you were there for me when we thought I was dying.
03:35You were there for Will throughout this whole Luna saga.
03:39You came through for both of us in a really, really big way.
03:43I would move heaven and earth for you and your brothers.
03:46And Katie.
03:47I just wish she wasn't stuck at Forrester.
03:50I don't see.
03:51I don't think she would call it stuck.
03:53I mean, there was a time when she ran that place.
03:55No, I know.
03:56She was CEO.
03:58And let me tell you something.
04:00Forrester Creations would be more successful today if Katie was at the helm.
04:06But what I really want is for her to give Forrester the boot
04:10and have Katie and Will join us here at Spencer.
04:21Katie, hi.
04:23Hey.
04:23Hey.
04:24Didn't know you were coming in today.
04:26Oh, well, I still work here, right?
04:29Of course.
04:30Yeah.
04:30Just after everything that's been going on.
04:33Like I said before, I didn't want you to push yourself, take your time, and be there for Will.
04:38Well, I am supporting him in any way I can, but he wants to put his life together and move on on his own terms.
04:47Bill and I are trying to be very supportive of that, even though it's not easy.
04:52You know, it's not easy, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but Bill is actually stepping up.
04:59He's being a really good dad.
05:00He's the dad that Will deserves.
05:02Yeah.
05:03Thank you for saying that.
05:04You know, Will deserves to have a beautiful, smart girlfriend.
05:07He deserves to have a career that's fulfilling, and he can have all of that and more now that Luna is gone.
05:14But you know what?
05:16I don't want to talk about any of that, because I am here to pitch some ideas to you and Cephi.
05:23Is she around?
05:24She's not, but you can pitch her to Brooke and me.
05:28I'd like to hear what my little sister has to say.
05:34Okay.
05:36I know that this is a shock, Finn.
05:38It was to Will and I, too.
05:40But Dylan has been wracked with grief over that.
05:43And that's why we brought her here, so that she could open up to you guys about that night.
05:47Running over Luna, daughter.
05:50Happened so fast, I was in shock, and I was dazed.
05:53The police said she died on impact.
05:55So there was nothing that Dylan or anyone else could have done?
05:59I've never even had a speeding ticket.
06:01The thought of taking someone's life, I would never, ever hurt anyone.
06:06It was an accident, I swear.
06:07It was a horrible accident.
06:10Please believe me, Finn, both of you, please.
06:13I'm so sorry.
06:24Another week you took...
06:28You know what?
06:31It's not a problem.
06:32I know how hard you've been working.
06:35I appreciate that.
06:37And why don't we just circle back the beginning of next week?
06:42Okay.
06:43That's great.
06:44Thanks.
06:48What?
06:49You know...
06:49No, no, no, no.
06:51Dumb question.
06:52You're very impressed by the new and improved me.
06:55Well, let me tell you something.
06:56It ain't easy.
06:57All right?
06:59But I understand that it is a never-ending journey to self-improvement.
07:05I just want to be the best I can be for my family and especially for Katie.
07:13Well, Dad, obviously these changes are making a difference.
07:17Otherwise, Katie wouldn't have moved back in.
07:21Katie put her heart on the line again for me and she's trusting me not to break it.
07:25You're not gonna.
07:26No, you're damn right.
07:27Katie is the best thing that ever happened to me, along with my three sons.
07:34I mean, she brings such goodness and grace into my life, just like she does with everyone.
07:42And she deserves to be respected and appreciated, especially at Forrester Creations.
07:50It's a multi-pronged approach, neutralizing all the negative talk about Luna using the strategies
07:56I've outlined.
08:00Is there a problem?
08:02No, not at all.
08:03It's, um...
08:06Look, what were you proposing?
08:10The other company's already implemented and it's, uh, it's working, so...
08:15I don't understand.
08:17Well, they're on top of it.
08:20Sure, yeah, I realize that.
08:22The PR room's really helping during this challenging time at Forrester.
08:27Yeah, I get that.
08:28It's been a challenging time for me, too, and I'm helping Will get through everything that
08:34he's been going through with Luna, but I am ready to be back to step into my role as head
08:41of public relations for Forrester Creations.
08:43What is it?
08:50We appreciate all the effort that you put into this.
08:53Yeah, but it's no effort.
08:54It's my job.
08:55No, I know.
08:55I get it.
08:56Listen, these are great ideas.
08:57They're really good ideas, but we're already doing something that seems to be working, and...
09:01I know, they...
09:03They're doing their job, and I don't really think we need to change anything right now.
09:07Hitting Luna was an accident.
09:20Yes, she did terrible things to me.
09:23Things that traumatized me, they still do, but I would never seek revenge.
09:27Of course not.
09:29Anyone who knows you knows that you would never target another person like that.
09:32You are a wonderful and caring woman, and you would never take a life under any circumstances.
09:41And you guys believe that, too, right?
09:43You believe what she's saying.
09:46I have conflicting feelings about my daughter.
09:50Um...
09:51Do I wish that she was dead and met the fate that she did?
09:54Of course not.
09:55But Luna had chance after chance after chance to change, and she would.
10:06But one thing that I know, Dylan, is exactly what Electra just said.
10:13You are a wonderful person.
10:18And Hayes adores you.
10:22And so do we.
10:25I believe you.
10:28Okay.
10:31Stephanie and I both.
10:32I put out feelers because I don't think we quite found the fit for the position yet.
11:01I'm not saying there aren't qualified candidates.
11:03Oh.
11:04Uh, a couple of things that I need to add to the agenda for the board.
11:10The hell you got?
11:11Forrester Creations.
11:13Check on Katie.
11:14I know Forrester Creations.
11:20I spearheaded all of the major campaigns here.
11:24And not for nothing, I even ran this place at one point.
11:27I was CEO.
11:28A dark chapter in our history because of Bill.
11:31Don't remind me.
11:32Please.
11:32It's nothing personal, Katie.
11:35Just fridge and I believe that this PR firm is the way to go.
11:38I'm sorry, Ridge and I, are you co-CEO now?
11:44Has Steffi been pushed aside?
11:46No, of course not.
11:49Just, the point is.
11:51The point is, is that I'm not really hearing any support from you.
11:56Katie, hey.
11:58This is business.
11:59You know it's business.
11:59It's not personal.
12:05I'm sorry for getting so emotional.
12:07I just, it's such a relief to know that you both believe me.
12:11Well, we believe you.
12:13And we have enormous respect for you.
12:15Yes, we do.
12:18I mean, you opened a whole new world to Hayes.
12:22Our son loves you.
12:23We're always going to be grateful for that.
12:26Okay?
12:27For you to say that after everything I just told you.
12:31You told us about a car accident.
12:33One that you would have avoided if you could have.
12:37God, of course.
12:39It's not just about that.
12:40I, I let Miss Sunshine.
12:43Luna, I, I, I let Luna in the children's environment.
12:47I put those precious, innocent little kids at risk.
12:50I still feel so guilty about that.
12:52Jillian.
12:54You were conned by a lunatic.
12:58And a lot of people fell for it.
13:00But please do not feel guilty, okay?
13:03I know.
13:04I know I have to find a way to let it go.
13:06But despite everything, Luna was still a person.
13:08And my daughter.
13:10A daughter I never knew I had until it was way too late.
13:14If I could have been there from the beginning, I would have.
13:18I would have done everything possible to be a positive impact on Luna's life.
13:23But regretfully, I couldn't.
13:27But I'm not going to beat myself up about that, Dylan.
13:32And you can't either.
13:33Don't carry that weight.
13:35I mean, I have Steffi.
13:38I have a beautiful life.
13:40You have a full life of your own.
13:41You just got to reclaim it.
13:45And she will.
13:47I know you will.
13:49And Will and I will be there to help you.
13:52Anything you need from us.
13:53I promise.
13:57Thank you all so much.
14:17Do you think we should have stayed with Dylan for a little bit?
14:21After we dropped her off?
14:22You know, you offered.
14:24She'll reach out if she needs anything.
14:26Yeah, I know.
14:28I just want to help.
14:29Any way that I can.
14:31It's because that's the kind of incredible woman you are.
14:34Even in death, Luna is causing all of this pain and heartache.
14:38But Dylan is strong.
14:40She's resilient.
14:41She's going to get through this.
14:42And before you know it, she'll be back to teaching those kids.
14:45And eventually...
14:46Luna and her insanity will be nothing more than a distant memory.
14:52For us, too.
14:54Now, I say that me and you, we make a pact to never speak about Luna Nozawa ever again.
15:01Because we have a bright and amazing future ahead of us.
15:06Deal?
15:07Deal.
15:08That took a lot of courage on Dylan's part.
15:22Coming here, confessing what she's done.
15:25Well, now that she's unburdened herself from us, I just hope that she knows that we're totally in her corner.
15:30That we only want the best for her.
15:32Yeah.
15:33It's just going to take some time to move past this really dark chapter for her.
15:38Speaking of which, that's exactly what I want to do.
15:42I want to put this whole Luna horror show behind me.
15:48It has consumed us for way too long.
15:50I need to.
15:53We need to.
15:53Just move on from it for everyone's sake.
15:56I know, I know.
15:57No, I know what you're going to say.
15:59But honey, look.
16:01I'm fine.
16:03Okay?
16:04I am better than fine.
16:06Because I am married to the most amazing, beautiful, talented, sexy, badass, CEO woman in the planet.
16:28I never knew I could love like this until I laid eyes on you.
16:31I hope my sister isn't too upset.
16:51Katie's a professional.
16:52This is a business decision.
16:53Nothing more.
16:54Nothing more.
17:01That Charlie intentionally tries to aggravate me asking for my ID.
17:11I would knock him out if not for elder me.
17:13What are you doing here?
17:18I'm checking on my girl.
17:21How are you doing?
17:23Not great, actually.
17:26What happened?
17:26Well, you know that they hired an outside PR team, a crisis management company, to deal with the fallout of Luna.
17:38And I appreciated that, right?
17:41I thought it was the right idea, the right thing to do.
17:44But I'm back now, and I have ideas of my own that I pitched, and they completely disregarded me.
17:53Are they, as in Ridge and Stephanie?
17:54No.
17:56Ridge and Brooke.
17:58Katie, they're idiots.
18:01I mean, I'm sorry, but you are the smartest person in this place.
18:05Well, I, listen, I'm, I'm fine.
18:08Really, I mean, I'm fine.
18:10I just expected maybe a little bit more support from my sister.
18:13I mean, we are family, but I don't know why I thought that would happen.
18:18I mean, it's always been Brooke and Ridge.
18:20Brooke and Ridge.
18:23I want you to listen to me.
18:27You, Katie Logan, are a powerhouse.
18:31You are.
18:32And you have proven yourself time and time again.
18:36You have rescued this place from one public relations scandal and debacle to another.
18:44They should be on their knees thanking you.
18:46Instead, you are underappreciated and disrespected.
18:54The good news is, you can get forced to the boot.
18:59And come with me and your true family company, Spencer Publications.
19:11It's a determination.
