04:54i would really love for you to get to know the sheila that is standing before you right now
05:00it's a sheila that loves your dad more than anything
05:04and i'm hoping one day you'll see it that way too
05:07that you'll believe in our marriage the way that your dad and i do
05:13things with sheila
05:15you can't be surprised i'm asking
05:18she's one of the main reasons you wanted to get into therapy
05:21fair enough
05:23um actually i feel pretty confident about things pretty positive
05:29well that's good to hear
05:32how was thanksgiving i'm assuming hope and deke steered clear
05:37yeah i don't know it's like it's like sometimes i feel like i'm making progress with them
05:43you know like today deke was over at the restaurant and um you know he was perfectly polite with sheila
05:49i mean they're you know they're not embracing or anything but i mean i think it's a start
05:53as far as all of us spending thanksgiving dinner together we're not quite there yet
05:59i spent time with the kids and sheila and i had a really nice dinner for two you know
06:04we talked about gratitude um things we're thankful for
06:08your name came up

06:11sheila's incredibly grateful that i came back to her
06:15she uh she gives you all the credit
06:18sheila believes that you saved their marriage
06:21borrster creations only exist because of eric
06:29his dedication his talent
06:32nobody's denying that
06:35ridge understands the legacy he's inherited
06:37see that that there that's exactly it
06:41they haven't inherited anything because eric's still here thank god we're all so grateful
06:52especially rich really well maybe if he could just express it once in a while
07:01he should welcome working with his father again
07:06it's not up to me donna whatever is decided
07:17you can't be surprised at this rich of course i want to step in and do this beautiful collection with my son of course
07:23well you've already done it we've done this you did a final line and it was amazing it was gorgeous
07:29but it almost put you in the grave so
07:31i'm not asking you to do that again
07:33no you're not asking me this is coming from me
07:35rich this is uh this this is a collaboration it's not a competition like that was
07:40you stepped away from this and rightly so
07:42no i didn't step away i haven't put a pencil down since i left the company
07:46i haven't
07:48i'm a designer
07:50i'm an artist
07:51no you are one of the greatest designers in the world dad you you changed fashion who can say that
07:56nobody you did that and now it's time to do something else
08:01go off into the sunset do something that's what i would do if i were in your shoes
08:05you're not in my shoes rich
08:08you can't possibly know what it feels like for me to be standing here in this room like this right now
08:16you can't know
08:21do you remember what it's like
08:27hard work the sleepless nights
08:30you know what you did you asked me to do that
08:33and i'm doing it i can do it i'll take the frustration i'll take the headaches
08:41so you don't have to my god
08:51why is this the reoccurring theme in my life
08:59what do you mean
09:00people claiming to change
09:02that they aren't who they used to be
09:04that's because they do people can change sure but i
09:09people like you
09:11yeah i changed i changed because of your father truly and and i would love
09:15nothing more than to just live a nice simple life with him now
09:24look at this it's not entirely true
09:27because i would love to be accepted embraced by his children
09:37i think you and hope you dad me
09:47we're a family
09:48i realize that sheila is appreciative but i can't take credit for that
09:58i mean you can downplay it all you want but sheila thinks that you are the great savior that rescued our relationship
10:03look marriage family acceptance love the these things mean more to sheila than you can imagine
10:12i'm happy for the two of you
10:15if the acceptance is really there
10:20do you think that sheila will ever really be accepted by your family
10:25i hope
10:32of course eric should be on the design team he created this entire company
10:38look let's just here sit down sit down okay
10:48haven't you been enjoying all this time that you've been spending with eric
10:53right all the day trips you've been taking and that cruise you guys had together
10:59i mean none of that would have happened if eric was still working
11:05and now what you want him back in the office every single day
11:10you know how he is when he throws himself back into work
11:12no he's gonna be the first one here in the morning and he's gonna be the last to leave at night
11:17no i'm not gonna let him push himself to his limit like that not not not after what happened last
11:23year now would i prefer to have him all to myself 24 7 of course
11:31but that that wouldn't really be fair of me to ask him to give up something that he loves so much
11:37it wouldn't really be fair of rich either please get through to him because eric he needs this
11:48he needs to be in the thick of things he he can't just be some figurehead watching from afar
11:54eric is and always will be a designer
12:03until his dying day
12:06you're telling me it's frustration and heartache and how difficult it is you're telling me this
12:12none of that matters because in the end you have this collection in the beautiful gowns
12:16yes beautiful and yes it's all worth it but it's not worth putting your life on the line for it
12:21it's not worth it let us do what we do and then come back and watch the show you know just
12:26and watch this watch the show i don't do that i don't mean that that's that's not what i'm
12:31i mean go up on the stage talk to the buyers to talk to yeah i love that i love that
12:36but richard's the work itself the work itself is covered dad is covered
12:46you asked me to do this you asked me to take over the company i got it
13:02i'm sorry i've cut this short
13:16you know what i'm really excited about your sister's wedding oh yeah you uh you like weddings
13:29oh my gosh of course i mean who doesn't like a wedding i mean the romance the
13:35the fact that two people are committing their lives to one another but this wedding it gives me the
13:41opportunity to show you and hope that i can be a part of your lives this is really so special
13:50and when i am at hope and lian's wedding on your dad's arm
13:56that's going to show everybody that the sharp family is truly united
14:01i don't know i have to hope that they will you know hope that hope and deke will
14:09eventually see sheila the way that i do it's like two steps forward one step back you know and
14:15unfortunately sheila covering for luna was an enormous step back and it's one that i don't know
14:21i don't know if they're going to be able to forgive it's understandable you struggled with it yourself
14:28yeah you know i don't blame them you know they're worried for me maybe another family session in the
14:36future yes especially because hope and liam's wedding's coming up it's a big day for your family
14:42yeah you don't want things to be uncomfortable do you think that sheila will be welcomed in an ideal
14:51world let's talk about the world we're in i don't know taylor she's my wife you know i mean she's
14:59technically hope's stepmother i'd like to think that hope would want her there but
15:05i gotta admit i don't know if she's gonna get an invitation and if she doesn't
15:09she's gonna be devastated
15:18hey hey how did that go how did it go with my dad you mean what did he want to talk about oh he
15:26never gotta believe it he wants to jump back on the couture line oh yeah i can believe it after some
15:32of the things that donna was telling me donna's encouraging this she's supposed to keep him healthy
15:37oh i think she was trying to in her own way you know his mental health and if he still wants to
15:42be a part of this i don't know if he wants to be part of it i don't know at this point it just seems
15:46like it's a habit you know and and but he's had such a great career but now it's over he's gotta hang
15:53it up what if he doesn't want to hang it up no one wants to hang it up no one wants to do that
15:59ask anybody any any professional athlete or or actor or model everything is great and then one
16:04day it's it's done it's over my dad at least he had a swan song he put this whole beautiful line
16:12together and it was great and it almost killed him almost put him in the ground i get it it's hard for
16:18him but it's my job to keep him safe okay you didn't tell him about the party did you i didn't tell
16:30him about the party what are you no no no still a surprise what did you say to him so that everything
16:37that he has in his life he's earned and that includes his right to walk away
