00:00Oh
00:22Hello hey
00:24hate to interrupt but
00:27The design that you left at home
00:29Perfect, perfect. Let me see. Oh great. Yeah, this one. Here we are.
00:36All right
00:38Well, it's not a complete collection, but it's enough to show to Ridge and Brooke right now
00:42He says he's too busy, but when he sees this he's going to change his tune. They all will
00:50Eric Forrester is back
00:59Okay, well, let's let's place those right there
01:06I think that is great
01:08And the last thing that we need is the ice bucket and champagne
01:13Got it right here. Oh perfect
01:17Well, I think that's it. Thank you for your help tara. Of course
01:22Thank you for your help. Thanks for setting all this up. Oh, yes. Well only the best for Eric
01:29It's really coming along right?
01:31Yeah, it is big day
01:36Along the way to retirement party
01:38I'm not gonna lie
01:51I really do enjoy it when my hot husband comes to my office
01:55Yeah, should I stop by more often?
01:57Oh, I don't know about that. You're a little distracting
02:02Fair enough
02:03Babe
02:09So, um, everything all set for Eric's party?
02:12Um, yeah, I think so
02:18Hey, what's going on?
02:20You all right?
02:21No, I just I just want this retirement party to go the way my father hopes, but
02:27I am a bit concerned how my grandfather is going to take all of this
02:34Well
02:57It feels like granddad's last show was ages ago
03:24And that's why ridge keeps insisting that Eric's official retirement is long overdue
03:30Yeah, no, I I get it
03:32But we need to build him up the way he's built this company
03:35Return the love sweat and tears he put into it
03:39Well, look, I agree with dad
03:41Granddad has worked way too hard for so long. He needs to prioritize his health
03:46He needs to just live a nice calm life
03:50He's earned it
03:52And you're worried that Eric won't see it that way
03:56Well
03:57Everything okay?
04:20Yeah, no, I was just thinking about the last time my dad approached me by doing a collection
04:24I mean his lying fear showed up
04:28That's how it was in the beginning. He wanted to do something together for his legacy
04:32It's his words
04:34Yeah, you remember
04:36It was his grand finale
04:38It was a huge success
04:40Almost killed him
04:43I know you're worried about him
04:45So am I
04:47Well, that's why we gotta do this right now
04:50Before this company puts him in the ground
04:54See that the clean clean lines that the classic silhouette. It's beautiful, right?
04:59It makes it easily recognizable as Eric Forrester original
05:03Well, yes, yeah, but it's different. I've changed fabrics. It's smoother now
05:08It's it's it's younger. I like it as it has more energy
05:11And they've never seen anything like this from me
05:14They're incredible and they're inspired
05:18In fact, I want to be wearing this one right now
05:21Oh, I'd like to see that
05:23It would blow everybody away
05:26I've you have been working so hard and
05:29Wow, the the living rooms turned into a design studio again and half the dining room tables
05:35Well everything everything's gonna be back to normal so I promise
05:39No, that that's not what I'm saying my goodness. I love seeing you
05:43Back in your element, you know designing endlessly and
05:48I'm just concerned
05:50Don't don't don't don't don't don't do that
05:53You're starting to sound like everybody else
05:56Worried about my health don't
05:58You sound like rich
06:05You're concerned for Eric makes sense. This is fragile
06:15But you're not coming from a mean or greedy place. You're coming from a place of love
06:23You want to reduce your grandfather's stress and have him have a healthy future and
06:30Steffi retirement
06:32Helps with that even if he doesn't see it. Yeah
06:35It could be hard for him
06:37I think it might be difficult for him to let it go because it's been his identity
06:41I mean look
06:43Yeah, he had his last show. He showed it to the entire world
06:47Shouldn't he go out on top pass the baton so he could just chill out and relax and enjoy life?
06:53You know, I feel like
06:56Eric will understand
06:57He he may even be more open to stepping down than you think especially if
07:02Ridge and everyone is expressing their gratitude for what he's built
07:05Yeah
07:08Yeah, and then he can pass it on to his son and his granddaughter
07:13He may not like it but
07:16Something
07:16But I agree with dad
07:21It's time
07:23You are a loving son who is only looking out for his father. It's obvious how much you care
07:28It's just
07:29Why does it sound like you think this is a bad idea?
07:34I just wonder how he's gonna react to this retirement
07:37I know I wonder that too, but you know what? I think he's gonna be all right eventually
07:40Yeah
07:41No, right now
07:43I
07:43It's gonna take a minute, but this is what we're doing this we're celebrating this mark on the fashion
07:48Okay, the question is is he really ready to walk away from Forrester creations?
07:52Who's questioning this? This is Donna? Is that what Donna's saying?
07:55Oh, she had some compelling points
07:58Okay, I have one compelling point
08:00I need my dad alive
08:02So we need to do this now
08:04Okay
08:09Hey guys, wanted to see any last minute help before the gifts of honor arrives?
08:14I told you Brooke would have it under control
08:18I should have never doubted you
08:20Oh, well, thank you, but you know, I didn't do this all by myself
08:23Oh, is that the cologne I asked for?
08:26Oh, yes
08:27One of a kind son for one of a kind man
08:30It's very thoughtful and he's gonna cherish that
08:34So I can't believe today's a day
08:37Eric Forrester steps down
08:40Your dad's been a force of my life over the years, Ridge
08:42And I've just been wondering how I could repay him for all the knowledge and guidance
08:45Listen, we all feel the same way
08:47That's what we're doing this party today, right?
08:49To celebrate the man that did all this
08:52This company for everyone in it
08:53There's no doubt that he deserves to be celebrated
08:56And uh, I'd never question your love for your father
09:00But I do question whether Eric should have to accept this
09:04You know, this work, all these drawings, I mean, it
09:12It takes all my energy, it takes everything
09:16It overcomes me
09:17The last person I expected to criticize me for that is you, my wife
09:22I am not criticizing you, but as your wife, I am concerned about what the added stress is doing to you
09:32Okay, you're working so hard
09:36One hour after dinner turns into all night
09:38And I
09:39I promised myself
09:41I would not let you push yourself past the limit
09:45Do you know what time you finally came to bed last night?
09:49Do you?
09:51It was 3 a.m.
09:52No, I know, I know
09:53I lost track of time
09:55I lose track of time
09:57Every time I'm doing this
09:59I do and I'm not
10:01It's what I want to do, it's what I want to create
10:02I don't apologize for that
10:05I'm not one of those people that you need to prove something to
10:09I already know how great you are
10:15You're my honey bear
10:18But what I do want is for you to
10:22To find some
10:24Some happy medium, okay?
10:28You can get the rest that you need knowing that these designs
10:32They're gonna be there for you
10:34In the morning
10:36Alright
10:36I think I can do that
10:43Look at this
10:44Look at the fruits of my labor
10:47You already know how fabulous I think they are
10:50Yeah, these are gonna be the cornerstone of the new courtier collection
10:54I just I just need to get these in front of Ridge
10:57There is no way that he's he's not gonna see this vision
11:01I'm gonna take the fashion world by storm
11:03I'm gonna do it and it starts today
11:05Today
11:06Today
11:14I
11:16I
11:18I
11:19Mean no disrespect Ridge
11:21I come from a different part of the world
11:23A culture that views elders with more reverence than this
11:27More reverence
11:29You think I don't respect my dad?
11:32Because I do this is why we're doing this
11:35Ridge is only looking out for Eric's best interests
11:39Perhaps don't count him out just yet
11:41He still has a lot to offer
11:42No one's discarding Eric
11:45We're aware of the legacy he built here
11:48Okay, well if you all believe this maybe you should be asking yourselves
11:51Shouldn't Eric be allowed to do what he wants and decide his own future?
11:58Why
12:00This feels pretty intense for a party
12:08Mm-hmm
12:10I was only explaining that in many other part of the world we would never push an elder out
12:14Well, this elder is not just an elder is my dad
12:18We're doing what I think is right for him
12:21But I don't have to explain that to him
12:22Let's let's ask the good doctor
12:24What do you think?
12:25My dad almost killed himself last time he did that
12:27Now that he's older
12:28Should he do it again?
12:29What are your thoughts?
12:30Ultimately, as a doctor
12:34I do support this
12:36Getting Eric to reduce his stress levels
12:39Get him to focus on his health and his well-being
12:41It's critically important
12:44I want to listen to that
12:46Thank you
12:47If it's okay with you, I'm going to text my dad and tell him to come over
12:56Ridge keeps brushing me off
12:58You know, he thinks I don't
12:59Uh, I don't have it in me
13:01But when he sees this
13:03He will see that, uh
13:04I'm still Eric Forrester
13:06Of course you are
13:07You know, it's a shame that Ridge has to be reminded of it again
13:10Yeah, yeah, I know
13:12He just wants me to back off
13:13He wants me to separate from work, you know
13:18Well, you know, I mean
13:20You know, I always fully support you
13:22But, uh, that actually doesn't sound too bad
13:25You know, finally getting back to Amsterdam in the spring
13:28And summer's in the south of France
13:30And
13:32Sounds pretty good
13:33But I'm not there yet
13:34I'm not ready to do that yet
13:35I still have to work
13:37I need
13:38I need to design
13:40You understand, right?
13:43Yeah
13:44Speaking of Ridge
13:45He wants to see me in the office
13:48My office
13:50Yeah, well
13:51I can't wait to get him in here to see these designs
13:53He will see that I'm still Eric Forrester
13:55He'll see
13:59You still believe in me
14:00You believe in this, right?
14:01You believe in me, Donna?
14:03Right?
14:04Of course I do, Eric
14:06I'm always team Eric
14:08But this is so much more than just
14:10Putting out another line
14:11Getting another line under my belt
14:13This is
14:14This is the beginning of a whole new chapter
14:16This is
14:18This is proof that my career is still going strong
14:21This is the beginning today
14:24Today's the beginning of a new chapter
14:27My new chapter at Forrester Creations
14:29You still don't see it, do you?
14:39The work we do here
14:40The stress of this company
14:42Is too much for someone my dad's age
14:46So we're trying to do the right thing
14:47We're trying to open a door for him
14:48To a better world
14:50You know, something where there's no stress
14:52Just happy thoughts
14:53And as soon as he embraces that
14:54He's gonna love it
14:56We almost lost my dad
14:57And listen, I don't know what the cultural difference is
15:00But in this family
15:01We love each other
15:02And we protect each other
15:04Even that means protecting him from himself
15:08But what if granddad fights us on this?
15:10And we fight back
15:12This is what he needs
15:13And eventually he's gonna agree with us
15:16Surprise!
15:21All right, okay
15:22What's this all about?
15:23It's all about you, dad
15:24Yeah?
15:25All right, good
15:26Because I want to talk to you
15:27And I want to talk to you too
15:28We all want to talk to you
15:30We want to congratulate you
15:32This icon of industry
15:35Congratulations
15:36Um, Eric
15:38I can tell you're speechless
15:48But like Rich said
15:50We're here to celebrate you
15:51And your incredible contributions
15:53As co-founder of this company
15:54That's right
15:57And now you can just enjoy yourself
15:59And no more stress
16:01Enjoy your life with Donna
16:04Granddad we are so happy for you
16:09You've had an incredible run
16:13A run that's over today
16:15Never over
16:18Your legacy will live on forever
16:19Not just in this family
16:21But in everyone that you've taught over the years
16:25No one more than me
16:26I got to learn from the master
16:27And now
16:30It's time for the master to rest
16:32Oh, to rest
16:34You mean like
16:36Like permanently?
16:37Like six feet under?
16:38Don't do that, dad
16:38It's not what I'm
16:41Donna was talking to me earlier about
16:44Prioritizing
16:47And about not burning out
16:48Before I get a chance to do everything I want to do
16:51In this life
16:52And the one thing I want to do more than anything else is design
16:56Because that's
16:58That's all I care about
16:59And that's what I'm going to be doing until the day I die
17:03Stephanie and I founded this company
17:06And we built this company from the ground up
17:10Right to where you're all standing right now
17:13And you said it, you're right, you're right
17:18This is my legacy
17:21And because it's my legacy I get to decide
17:26And I decide not to do this
17:29I don't accept this
17:32I'm not doing this, Rich
17:34Yes, you are, dad
17:43Here's a look ahead
17:57Welcome to the wedding of the year
17:59Pope Logan and Liam Spencer
18:01Crashing that wedding would be a
18:03Crazy thing to do
18:04You think I'm crazy
18:06Dude, you'd never listen to a word I said
18:08Everything you say
18:09I will not be put out to pasture
18:13So
18:14All right
18:15Welcome to the wedding of the year
18:21To be continued
