00:00Oh
00:27Oh
00:30I hate to interrupt, but the design that you left at home.
00:36Perfect. Perfect. Let me see.
00:37Oh, great.
00:39Yeah, this one.
00:41There we are.
00:43All right.
00:44Well, it's not a complete collection, but it's enough to show to Ridge and Brooke right now.
00:49He says he's too busy, but when he sees this, he's going to change his tune.
00:54They all will.
00:57Eric Forrester is back.
01:00Okay. Well, let's place those right there.
01:15I think that is great.
01:17And the last thing that we need is the ice bucket and champagne.
01:22Got it right here.
01:23Oh, perfect.
01:26Well, I think that's it.
01:27Thank you for your help, Tara.
01:29Of course.
01:32Thank you for your help.
01:33I wish we were setting all this up.
01:35Oh, yes.
01:36Well, only the best for Eric.
01:39It's really coming along, right?
01:42Yeah, it is.
01:43Big day.
01:46Long away to retirement party.
01:48I'm not going to lie.
02:01I 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.
02:13Fair enough.
02:16Peace.
02:21So, 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 to go the way my father hopes, but I am a bit concerned how my grandfather is going to take all of this.
02:48Well...
02:48Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
03:18it feels like granddad's last show was ages ago and that's why ridge keeps insisting that eric's
03:44official retirement is long overdue yeah no i i get it but we need to build him up the way he's built
03:52this company return the love sweat and tears he put into it well look i agree with dad granddad has
04:00worked way too hard for so long he needs to prioritize his health he needs to just live a nice
04:07calm life he's earned it and you're worried that eric won't see it that way well
04:16is everything okay
04:39yeah no i was just thinking about the last time my dad approached me by doing the collection
04:46knew his lying fear showed up that's how it was in the beginning he wanted to do something together
04:53for his legacy say his words yeah you remember it was his grand finale it was a huge success
05:02almost killed him
05:03i know you're worried about him so am i well that's why we gotta do this right now
05:12before this company puts him in the ground
05:15you see that the clean clean lines that the classic silhouette it's beautiful right it makes
05:24it easily recognizable as eric forrester original well yes yeah but it's different i've i've changed
05:30fabrics it's smoother now it's it's it's younger i like it as it has more energy and you've never
05:37seen anything like this from me they're incredible and they're inspired in fact i want to be wearing
05:45this one right now oh i'd like to see that it would blow everybody away
05:49i've you have been working so hard and wow the the living rooms turned into a design studio again and
05:59half the dining room tables well everything fabrics everything's gonna be back to normal so i promise
06:05no that that's not what i'm saying my goodness i i love seeing you back in your elements you know
06:11designing endlessly and
06:14i'm just concerned don't don't don't don't don't don't do that
06:20are you starting to sound like everybody else worried about my health don't it's not like rich
06:36you're concerned for eric makes sense this is fragile but you're not coming from
06:45a mean or greedy place you're coming from a place of love you want to reduce your grandfather's
06:51stress and have him have a healthy future and steffi retirement helps with that even if he doesn't see it
07:02it yeah it could be hard for him i think it might be difficult for him to let it go because it's been
07:08his identity i mean look yeah he had his last show he showed it to the entire world shouldn't he go out
07:16on top pass the baton so he could just chill out and relax and enjoy life you know i feel like eric
07:25he'll understand he he may even be more open to stepping down than you think especially if ridge
07:32and everyone is expressing their gratitude for what he's built yeah yeah and then he can pass it on to
07:40his son and his granddaughter he may not like it but something but i agree with that
07:49it's time you are a loving son who is only looking out for his father it's obvious how much you care
08:00it's just why does it sound like you think this is a bad idea i just wonder how he's going to react to
08:07this retirement i know i wonder that too but you know what i think he's gonna be all right eventually
08:12yeah no right now i it's gonna take a minute but this is what we're doing this we're celebrating
08:18this mark on the fashion world okay but the question is is he really ready to walk away from
08:24forrester creations who's questioning is this is donna is that what donna's saying oh she had some
08:29compelling points okay i have one compelling point i need my dad alive so we need to do this now
08:37okay hey guys wanted to see any last minute help before the gifts of honor arrives soldier brooke would
08:49have it under control i should have never doubted you oh well thank you but you know i didn't do this
08:57all by myself oh is that the cologne i asked for louis one of a kind son for one of a kind man
09:04and it's very thoughtful he's gonna cherish that so can't believe today's a day
09:12eric forrester steps down your dad's been a force of my life over the years ridge and i've just been
09:18wondering how i could repay him for all the knowledge and guidance listen we all feel the same way that's
09:23what we're doing this party today right to celebrate the man that's all this this company for everyone in
09:29there's no doubt that he deserves to be celebrated and uh i'd never question your love for your father
09:37but i do question whether eric should have to accept this
09:48donna this work all these drawings i mean it it it it takes all my energy it takes it takes everything
09:54it overcomes me the last person i expected to uh to criticize me for that is you is my wife
10:01i am not criticizing you but as your wife i am concerned about what the added stress is doing to
10:10you okay you you're working so hard one hour after dinner turns into all night and i i promise myself
10:21i would not let you push yourself past the limit do you know what time you finally came to bed last
10:28night do you it was 3 a.m no i know i know i lost track of time i lose track of time all
10:37in every every time i'm doing this i do and i'm not it's what i want to do is what i want to create i i
10:44don't apologize for that i'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
10:58but 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
11:16in the morning all right i think i can do that
11:27look at this look at the fruits of my labor
11:31you already know how fabulous i think they are yeah these are gonna be the cornerstone of the new
11:37courtier collection i just i just need to get these in front of ridge there is no way that he's
11:43he's not gonna see this vision i'm gonna take the fashion world by storm i'm gonna do it and it
11:50starts today today
12:01i mean no disrespect rich i come from a different part of the world a culture that views elders with
12:09more reference than this more reference you think i don't respect my dad
12:16because i do this is why we're doing this
12:19rich is only looking out for eric's best interests
12:23perhaps don't count him out just yet he still has a lot to offer
12:28no one's discarding eric we're aware of the legacy he built here
12:33okay well if you all believe this maybe you should be asking yourselves shouldn't eric
12:37be allowed to do what he wants and decide his own future oh boy
12:52feels pretty intense for a party
12:56i was only explaining that in many other part of the world we would never push an elder out well this
13:02elder is not just an elder he's my dad we're doing what i think is right for him
13:08but i don't have to explain that too let's let's ask the good doctor what do you think
13:13my dad almost killed himself last time he did that now and that he's older should he do it again
13:17what are your thoughts ultimately as a doctor i do support this getting eric to reduce the stress levels
13:26getting to focus on his health and his well-being it's critically important
13:32well listen to that thank you if it's okay with you i'm going to text my dad and tell him to come over
13:45rich keeps brushing me off you know he thinks i don't uh i don't have it in me but when he sees this
13:51he will see that uh i'm still eric forrester of course you are you know it's a shame the ridge has
13:58to be reminded of it again yeah yeah i know he just wants me to back off he wants me to separate from
14:06work you know but well you know i mean you know i always fully support you but uh that actually doesn't
14:14sound too bad you know finally getting back to amsterdam in the spring and summer's in the south
14:21of france and sounds pretty good yeah but i'm not there yet i'm not ready to do that yet i still have
14:28to work i need i need to design you understand right yeah speaking of rich who wants to see me in the
14:39office my office yeah well i can't wait to get him in here to see these designs he will see that i'm
14:47still eric forrester he'll see

15:13that my career is still going strong this is the beginning today today's the beginning of a new
15:20chapter my new chapter at forrester creations you still don't see it do you the work we do here the

15:40trying to open a door for him to a better world you know someone there's no stress just happy thoughts
15:47and as soon as he embraces that he's gonna love it we almost lost my dad and listen i don't know what
15:52the cultural difference is but 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 and we fight back
