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