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