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