00:00No, no. Well, that's not the point, Nessa. Projections don't mean anything if you don't
00:08have production. We need these items ready to ship, right? There's people circling already.
00:14Okay. Unbelievable. Is everything all right? Yeah, things are fine. I just got to deal with
00:19the jewelry line and try to finish this whole collection. There's just a lot. You thrive
00:24under pressure. Okay. This has to be good. It's critical that it's good. It's going to
00:31be great. It's going to be a fabulous success. Yeah? Yes. You always know exactly what to
00:38say, don't you? It's a gift. I hate to add more to your plate, but have you given more
00:45thought to Eric's surprise retirement party? No, no, and that's easy. It just has to be
00:50completely perfect. And it's going to be completely perfect. But my question is, do you really
00:57think that Eric's ready to step away from all of this? He's given his heart and soul to this
01:01company, and the weight of it almost killed him last time. So no, I don't want him to
01:05do any of this ever again. Hey, Dad. Hi. Hi. We were just talking about you. Yes. Good
01:12or bad, I can't quite tell. The look's on your face. It's always good. It was just unexpected.
01:16We didn't know you were coming in. Unexpected, yeah. I don't have an invitation. You're right.
01:20Although I shouldn't need one. Coming to this company, I found it. You know, my name
01:24is on the front of the building. Need I remind you? You need not remind me, but you just did
01:29again. Good. Well, I wouldn't have to if you didn't just answer. Come on, Katie. It's ridiculous.
01:34What? Is that Spencer? You give to this damn place, and what are you getting returned? Carter
01:43takes control of this place for whatever that was worth, and you spin the PR so nobody on the
01:48outside is aware of the war going on on the inside. Did you get so much as a thank you?
01:55You are one of the best, brightest, most talented people that I know, and yet you are treated
02:00like an underling. I mean, it isn't right. Okay. You know what? You are not wrong. And
02:05it is incredibly frustrating that they went behind my back and hired this firm without telling
02:12me. And I've given everything to Forrester. And yet you are not seen and you are not heard.
02:19You deserve better. Leave this godforsaken clown show and come to Spencer Publications, your
02:28true family company.
02:43Well, that is just amazing. No, no, no. Thank you. Thank you so much. Security said it.
02:50Spencer's in the building. Oh. Well, he and Katie are back together again, so it would
02:55make sense if he would... Nothing makes sense when it comes to
02:57Spencer. Why is Katie back in his life? Uh, well, they do have a son together.
03:03They have a grown-ass son with the tattoos and the motorcycle. Why are they playing house?
03:07Okay, I... I don't think that's for anyone else to decide.
03:11All right, all right. Let's take it down a notch here, okay?
03:14It's down. It's good. Just... I don't like this guy roaming out hallways. That's all.
03:18I'm sure it's fine. He's just seen Katie and Will, so just let it go, okay?
03:23Yeah. Yeah. It's gone. Let it go.
03:27Oh, I can't do it. Oh, Rich! What?
03:30Come on, Katie. Spencer's where you belong. With your family.
03:34I have family here, too, Bill.
03:36Uh... Okay. I mean, I get that, but... Can we be honest?
03:44Brooke is never going to side with you over Ridge here. She never has, and she never will,
03:49and she proved that again today. She has always been short-sighted where Forrester is concerned.
03:56But I see you clearly. You are special, and anyone who has ever had the good fortune to be in your
04:04company feels the same way. You should be appreciated, and respected, and rigid and capable of doing either one of those.
04:15Well, speak of the devil. Okay. Well, if that title belongs to you, you earned it fair and square.
04:20Why are you here? To defend the woman I love.
04:26Katie has given everything to this company, and you repay her with disrespect.
04:39What are you talking about? Oh, come on, Rich. You're not that stupid. You know exactly what I'm talking about.
04:44Katie takes a bit of time off so that she could deal with a volatile personal situation, and instead of supporting her,
04:51you penalize her by bringing an outside PR firm. Number one, what Katie may or may not be doing
04:59with this company has nothing to do with you. Number two, we brought in a PR company because
05:04we wanted to help Katie. We wanted to help you because of what Luna did to you and your family,
05:09a family that you're part of. We brought in a PR company. Would that be the royal we? Because I'm
05:14pretty sure that Katie wasn't consulted. In fact, she didn't know what was going on until she was
05:18already hit by the bus. The way I run this company has nothing to do with you. The way you run this
05:22company is like a ringmaster at a circus. And it does involve me and concern me when it is about my
05:30family. You treat Katie with disrespect and a lack of appreciation. This really how you feel?
05:40I will admit that I was blindsided when you hired the other PR company and
05:45completely disregarded all of my PR suggestions. You do not listen to Katie. You don't see her.
05:52I listen to everything you say. We all, we all listen to you. We admire what you do.
05:58We? Who would that be? That's Brooke? Steffi? Thomas? Zende? I don't have time for you. Sorry.
06:07Right. Bingo. That's exactly my point. Katie, I'm so sorry you feel this way.
06:12But please don't listen to this idiot. He's going to put thoughts in your head that just aren't true.
06:18I can stand up for myself and I can think and speak for myself as well.
06:23Okay. This is a fashion house, not a battlefield. If you want to defend your lady,
06:30let's find another place to do that. I have work to do. Out of it, very confidential,
06:35so I don't need you sniffing around here. Okay? Go home.
06:42Confidential? Hemming a dress?
06:47It is understandable why he wouldn't want Bill in the building.
06:50Yeah, well, given the way Ridge greeted me when I came in, I'm not sure I was so welcome either.
06:55Oh, Eric. That's not true. You know that. He just has a lot going on right now. I mean,
07:01there's the jewelry collection. We rolled out the perfume. We restarted Hope for the Future and
07:06now he's working on all those designs. I mean, it's a lot, even for him.
07:11Well, I could help, you know. All he'd have to do is ask.
07:14Is everything okay? No, everything's not okay. Bill's over there trying to convince Katie that
07:22she's not being appreciated in this company. What? That's absurd.
07:27It's absurd, but you know what? I don't have time for this right now. I gotta work.
07:31I would like a word with my son. Can it wait, please? No. No, it can't.
07:44Okay. I'm sorry. Didn't need to defend you in any way. I'm just, I'm super busy.
07:57Yeah. Too busy to talk to the, uh, the founder of this company?
08:06No, never too busy. What do you want to talk about?
08:14Where the hell does Forrester get off? I mean,
08:22you made that dusty dress shop relevant. I mean, your ad campaigns weren't valuable.
08:26I was just doing my job. Above and beyond. You shielded them. You protected them. I mean,
08:32what if Forrester's precious consumers knew what really went on inside those four walls,
08:36but they don't because you're always there to clean up their messes.
08:40It's what I do. And I'm damn good at it. You're the best. And yet you're treated like an underling.
08:46You heard the way that Forrester spoke to us, to you. He doesn't have time for the best and brightest
08:51mind in that sweatshop. Bill, I love you for sticking up for me, but you being this upset is
08:58not helping. Well, letting them get away with whatever they want isn't helping either, Katie.
09:02Is this about you or is it about me? It's about you, of course.
09:08Okay. Well, then I need you to calm down and let me think.
09:15I didn't mean Overstep. I'm sorry. I love you. You didn't. You didn't.
09:19You have nothing to apologize for. You were just trying to protect me and I appreciate that.
09:22You shouldn't have to answer to Ridge and Brooke. You know what it is? It's not about what I think
09:32or what I feel or what I want. It's about what you want. And what do you want, Katie?
09:39Oh, okay. They're beautiful. Ridge has really outdone himself.
09:52Yes. But I can hear him now. Seems too unfinished. The neckline doesn't drape well with the dress and
09:59it's, uh, there's no harmony. Yeah, Ridge is, uh, really putting a lot of pressure on himself.
10:07When doesn't he? Well, they're, they're beautiful. Yes, I think they are. But Ridge is never happy until
10:15they're perfect. The tortured artist. And CEO because, I mean, he's juggling everything right
10:23now. The launches, the campaigns, the future of Forrester, all by himself. But I, I thought that
10:29you and Steffi were picking up some of that slack. Oh, yeah. No, we are. The day-to-day. It's just,
10:34when it comes to the artistry, it's all on Ridge. But what, what about Zenday? Zenday's working on hope
10:42for the future. And we're happy to have him. Oh. If only there were someone, um, just as,
10:50if not more brilliant, than Ridge. What are you implying? That he doesn't have to do this alone.
11:02Look, I hope Ridge hasn't forgotten the man who's taught him everything he knows. Eric.
11:10Oh. I don't like feeling like a guest in my own building. Oh, Dad. No, no, no. I, I never intended
11:19that. I'm sorry. I'm, I've just been really busy. Yeah, I get it. And I see that. I appreciate that.
11:25You got a lot on your plate without a lot of support. Son, uh, I wanted...
11:30Yeah, go ahead. I've been waiting for this call all day. It's gotta be the cutting room.
11:37Hello? Yeah, Angelo, look. No, that's, that's not, that's not what we're doing. Just do what we
11:44talked about, please. Otherwise, the whole schedule's gonna go out the window. I, I, I will. I appreciate it.
11:51Everything all right? I will be, yeah. Okay, go on. Look, I get it. The, uh,
11:56the pressure of success can be kind of daunting, you know? But I want to tell you that, um,
12:04I'm sorry. Another fire to put out. No, it's, uh, okay. It's, uh, it's, it's hope. You know,
12:09hope for the future. We got, we got the relaunch and Deke is a good kid and he's talented. Yeah,
12:14yeah. But he's, he's green. He needs a little more oversight and I got it. Yeah. Okay.
12:19While you were across the hall getting yelled at by Spencer, um,
12:24I had a chance to look at some of your sketches for the couture line. Oh yeah? Yeah. What'd you
12:29think? Well, it reminds me that, uh, well, it's hard to create beauty when you're, when you're pulled
12:35in so many different directions. You didn't like them? I didn't say that. I didn't say that at all.
12:41I think they're great. It's just, uh, it's a lot and then you shouldn't have to do all this alone.
12:46What are you getting at?
12:54You want me to leave Forrester and come back to Spencer Publications?
13:00Uh, what I want is to not be putting any pressure on you. None. Right? You have enough that you're
13:08dealing with. I know that, uh, when I get going, I could be a little extra.
13:14Yeah, that might be the understatement of the year. I also know that Ridge
13:18brings out that part of you. Uh, look, let me be clear. My anger isn't just directed at Ridge. Really,
13:24it's just about the general way that you're being treated. Okay. Well, I appreciate you standing up for
13:30me and I, I love hearing how special you think I am. It makes me feel really good.
13:36Uh, not what I think. It's what I know. But whatever you do, I will do anything and everything I can to help you.
13:45Careful. That's a pretty big promise. Might come back to haunt you.
13:48Think I'm afraid of a couple of little ghosts? Bring them on.
13:52You know, I don't need you to fight my fights for me. You don't have to swoop in like some superhero.
13:59I know. But I will always be here for you. Cape and all.
14:16Donna, I assure you that Ridge has the utmost and deepest admiration for Eric.
14:25Well, he was a little bit curt with him earlier.
14:28Yes, but that wasn't about Eric. It's because he's under stress. And that's mostly because he
14:33respects his father's legacy. Uh-huh. Or is he more concerned about his own?
14:40He loves Eric and looks up to him. You know that.
14:43I want to believe that. He cares immensely. And he gives Eric all the credit.
14:49Well, maybe. Just maybe Eric wants more than that.
14:52What does he want? He wants to design the couture line?
14:55He wants to be an important part of this company again.
14:59He is an important part of this company. No.
15:02No. Not just as a face or as an ambassador or some silly mascot. He...
15:10Eric is a designer.
15:12Where is this coming from? He will always have influence.
15:16It's not the same as purpose.
15:19Okay?
15:20At home, he just... he doesn't stop sketching. He's creating and designing and...
15:26Chasing a dream. Chasing beauty. And he wants to be part of the couture design team.
15:34What about all that hard work? The deadlines? The pressure? The competition?
15:40That's who he is, Brooke. And I really hope that Ridge listens to Eric.
15:52Okay.
15:56Ridge, what are you... what are you doing?
15:59I'm giving you my undivided attention.
16:01Yeah. What about all the fires you need to put out?
16:03Let them burn.
16:04Yeah?
16:05What do you want to say?
16:05Okay. Well, what...
16:10Go ahead.
16:11No.
16:11No, go on.
16:12Let it go. It's fine.
16:12No, take it away.
16:13Just see what it is.
16:15Okay. All right.
16:18Is it all right?
16:19Hang on. Let's see. Just like that. It is handled.
16:22Yeah. Good.
16:24Look, I've been where you are. It's hard to keep all the fires out. It is.
16:29You're handling it. You're doing a really good job, but you shouldn't have to be doing all of this alone.
16:34I'm not doing it alone.
16:35Yeah. Yes, you are.
16:37Ridge, I'm not just playing pickleball out there and going to brunch.
16:40I've been watching what's going on here at the venue.
16:42Well, if you've been watching, you know that Steffi's here as a co-CEO.
16:45I got Carter. I got Brooke. Zende is here helping. Hope is helping.
16:49You left this company in very capable hands.
16:51Yes, I know I did. And I'm very proud of that, really.
16:54I'm proud of all of you, but you mostly.
16:57You know, your leadership and your creativity keeps this company right there where it should be.
17:03Thank you. It means a lot.
17:04Yeah. But you're drowning in it.
17:06I'm not drowning in it.
17:07You know, when you were a little, when you were, when you were a kid running up and down these halls,
17:13you were throwing fabric samples at people and laughing at them and making a lot of noise out there.
17:18You loved it. You loved the magic here, the energy, right? And I taught you everything I knew. Everything.
17:28But the most important thing I taught you, and you learned it, was the importance of collaboration.
17:34And for years, that's what we did. You and I collaborated collection after collection, gown after gown.
17:44We took chances. And we succeeded with everyone.
17:49And I know that you know that deep inside, the fire that burns, the fire of creativity never goes out.
17:57Dad, let me back in, Ridge. I want to be back here in this, in this room with you.
18:06Not as some figurehead, but as a co-designer. Let me do this line with you.
18:13You and me together, let's make history again. Ridge and Eric Forrester, you and me.
18:27See you with me later.
