00:00That's a lot of texts coming in, huh?
00:04They all want to answer immediately.
00:07Well, there's wedding planning for you.
00:09The ceremony is tomorrow, and certainly don't want to bother Hope and Liam with all these last-minute details.
00:15Who knew Beth was such a taskmaster?
00:18Oh my gosh, she is going to be so cute officiating the wedding.
00:25You okay?
00:26I'm okay. I'm just, you know, a bit of a mood.
00:30Your father's retirement party's still weighing on you?
00:33Yeah. I just wanted to celebrate him the same way that the newspapers are celebrating him.
00:37You know, the impact he's had, and I just...
00:39I know it wasn't going to be easy, but I just didn't think he was going to react that way.
00:47All the articles are amazing, but this one, this one's my favorite.
00:52Yeah, it's very flattering.
00:55Well, it's all true, you know.
00:57I mean, this one, this one puts your whole career into perspective.
01:03Well, they only do that when a designer's career is over.
01:08Oh, honey bear, I'm sorry.
01:11You know, it was wrong of Ridge to announce your retirement.
01:16No, Dad, I don't, I don't know. Maybe he was right.
01:18Maybe it is time. Maybe, uh, maybe my time is up.
01:27Where is our busy little bee?
01:30In there, doing wedding stuff.
01:33You can't ask me what it is, I can't tell you, because I promised absolutely positively no peeking.
01:37She is certainly trying to make our ceremony a surprise, isn't she?
01:41She is.
01:42Oh, which, by the way, uh, between my mom and your dad...
01:46Yeah.
01:47...they have hired so much security, I don't think the paparazzi or press is going to be an issue.
01:52They've already fielded questions about Eric's retirement, by the way.
01:55Oh, right. That is, that's really big news. That's a big change over at Forrester.
02:02Yeah, it won't be the same.
02:04I learned so much about fashion from Eric.
02:07He's a legend.
02:09I don't know, I guess it's time to pass the torch.
02:13Maybe.
02:15Either way, it's an exciting new chapter for all of us, and guess what?
02:19Hmm.
02:20We're going to kick it off with our wedding tomorrow.
02:22Hmm.
02:22You see the news?
02:28Eric's retirement?
02:29Yeah.
02:30Kind of feels like the end of an era.
02:34And it's kind of sad.
02:36Hmm.
02:38It's no secret I have a soft spot for Eric.
02:41Yeah, well, you know, you did marry the guy.
02:44Yeah, I did.
02:47But the only man for me is this handsome one right here sitting next to me.
02:52Good answer.
03:06What were you doing in the bedroom for so long?
03:08Well, maybe I was waiting for you to join me.
03:11Why didn't you say something?
03:12I'm teasing.
03:13I was trying to pick out a dress for the wedding tomorrow.
03:17Oh, right.
03:18Yeah, we haven't really talked about that.
03:19Yeah.
03:21You know, maybe we should go through your ties and try to color coordinate.
03:25I don't know.
03:26Does Hope have any kind of a color scheme?
03:28White?
03:29I don't know.
03:30She didn't mention anything.
03:31I am so excited.
03:34I am, baby.
03:36This is our first big family event, and I cannot wait to be on your arm.
03:45So Beth hasn't given you any hint at all about the ceremony?
03:49Oh, my God.
03:50None.
03:50Absolutely not.
03:51Nothing at all.
03:52Because she is her mother's daughter, and when she sets her mind to something, it's like...
03:57Well, I know she and my mother have been hard at work on it for weeks now.
04:04Well, if you think about it, you know, between the two of them, we're in for a very unique and memorable wedding.
04:12Oh, yeah.
04:12I've got to tell you, this whole retirement party really threw me.
04:23Maybe I should have seen this coming, you know?
04:25My last collection was more than a year ago.
04:27Okay.
04:28That's not fair.
04:29A lot has happened since then, Eric.
04:31Yeah, I know.
04:32I know.
04:33But Ridge seems to have felt that I was this figurehead, you know, sailing the company past the rough patch, and now that it's over, it's time to move on.
04:40And what, you don't have anything to say about that?
04:44That's not fair.
04:45I had a lot to say about it.
04:47After the party, I would kind of let my emotions get the best of me.
04:53I'm a little sorry for some of the things I said to Ridge.
05:01I mean, I knew Dad was going to be surprised by the party.
05:04That's why they called it a surprise party.
05:05And you assumed it would be a good surprise.
05:07I did assume that.
05:08Your father is the founder, and he will be a part of every single conversation about Forrester creation.
05:14As he should be.
05:14That wasn't the point.
05:15I just didn't want him to be part of the day-to-day grind.
05:18And you know what?
05:19He didn't want that either.
05:20He did his last collection, and he said he was done.
05:23So do you regret having this retirement party?
05:27The handsome father of the bride.
05:37You two are going to look amazing walking down the aisle together.
05:41You've been picturing that, huh?
05:42That's going to be beautiful.
05:44After all the turmoil that we've had in our lives, I mean, to come together this way.
05:50I think everybody's ready to put it behind him.
05:52Well, and a wedding is the perfect way to do that.
05:56I mean that.
05:56It is.
05:57I mean, not just for the happy couple, but for us, too.
06:00Your daughter is getting married, Deacon.
06:04And Deac is going to be there.
06:06It's our first real sharp family event.
06:11Well, it's hoping Liam's event.
06:12It's going to be really intimate.
06:14And that's what makes it that much more significant.
06:18I mean, to show them how strong and happy we are together.
06:27What?
06:30What's going on?
06:32I just, I think we ought to, you know, just keep the spotlight on Liam and Hope.
06:36You know, it's their day.
06:38Yeah, but I'm not suggesting that it is.
06:40I'm just, I'm just saying that, you know, they're calling the shots tomorrow.
06:48But why, why, why this mood all of a sudden?
06:52You know, what's going on?
06:54I don't want to upset you, Sheila.
06:57I hate to say this.
07:00You're not invited to the wedding.
07:01Was I just being delusional, thinking that I could still contribute?
07:10What?
07:11No, my God.
07:12Eric, you're as talented as ever.
07:15The, the designs you set up in the showroom were incredible.
07:22Maybe if you just showed Ridge the...
07:24No, no, no, no.
07:25He made himself very clear.
07:26He's wanting to see them.
07:26I told him how much designing means to me, but he won't, he won't hear it.
07:31He's, uh, worried about my health.
07:34Well, he doesn't want to lose you.
07:37He doesn't want to work with me either.
07:38I know, I'm sorry it hurts, but maybe it doesn't have to be all that bad, you know.
07:45I know, I know it's kind of selfish of me, but, um, I was sort of hoping that this could
07:53mean we could, uh, spend more time together.
08:00I thought I was doing the right thing.
08:04You meant well.
08:06You were thinking about his health, his future.
08:09Well, that's not what you asked me, is it?
08:13You asked me if I regret it.
08:16And that's not an easy answer, I don't know.
08:19And my dad has been my inspiration my whole life.
08:22And if there's anybody that could rest on his laurels, that is him.
08:26And I did what I did because I, I wanted him to be okay, you know?
08:32But maybe that should have been his decision.
08:39This is a mistake.
08:46You just misunderstood.
08:47Babe, I've been racking my brain trying to figure out a way to break this.
08:50No, you know what the wedding is tomorrow.
08:53I was hoping something had changed, you know.
08:55Now that things have calmed down between the family.
08:56Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
08:57Is that, is that what this is about?
08:59I know that I've made some really terrible decisions, but Liam's father, Bill, he, he made
09:06even bigger mistakes, and I'll guarantee you, he got an invitation.
09:10Please don't look at me like this, all right?
09:12This isn't about one person doing one thing.
09:14It's a personal choice, one that I disagree with, but it's not my wedding.
09:20I, I am seriously not invited.
09:25Babe, I'm sorry you're disappointed.
09:27You don't deserve to be excluded.
09:29Yeah, well, did you say that to Hope?
09:31Look, she and Liam and Beth made the guest list.
09:34Your name's not on it.
09:36I hate to put my dad in a jam with Sheila, but if she makes her little girl uncomfortable,
09:46then I don't exactly want her at the wedding.
09:48I know, and honestly, I think it's, I think it's healthy and good for Beth to express her
09:54feelings about stuff like that.
09:56Yeah, I want her to know that she can speak her mind freely, she can trust us, and that
10:00we will listen.
10:01Yes, and if Sheila makes her uncomfortable, well, hey, at the very least, it's a testament
10:07to her having good instincts.
10:09I agree.
10:10I just don't want to get into all that again with my dad.
10:14Like, he still thinks that Sheila has changed, so.
10:17Well, okay, Sheila did kind of almost sacrifice her own life to save Steffi's.
10:25Yes, I know, and we are all grateful, but, like, at the end of the day, this is what Beth
10:32wants.
10:33She has made herself very clear, and I think we should all respect that.
10:37I mean, after all, this wedding is all about our, our little family.
10:41Yeah, yes, no doubt.
10:43Oh, there's our little busy bee.
10:47You didn't try to peek, did you?
10:52No.
10:52No.
10:53No.
10:54Not at all.
10:55Uh, but if there was something you would like us to see, well, then.
10:59Not until tomorrow.
11:02Are you sure?
11:02Uh, because maybe our officiant may want us to rehearse a little.
11:06You don't need to practice, Daddy.
11:08Yep, nope.
11:08Grandma says you and Mommy know exactly what to do.
11:14Yes.
11:15Yes, we do.
11:17So do I.
11:18I'm all ready to marry you guys.
11:24I never could have imagined this when I was a kid, when I was starting out.
11:29This incredible career I've had.
11:32I've gotten a lot of kudos around the world.
11:34A lot of admiration from my peers, from my family.
11:37You are a titan in this industry.
11:40You have been respected and admired by, by some of the most powerful people in the world.
11:47Your collections have been adored by critics and clients.
11:52The only person I want to be adored by is you.
11:58You don't have anything else to prove.
12:02And it doesn't sound so bad, does it?
12:06Taking time to relax, travel, enjoy yourself.
12:12Sounds good coming from you, I gotta say.
12:16Yeah, maybe Ridge is right.
12:19Maybe he's just looking out for me.
12:20I'm here.
12:21Yeah.
12:28We almost lost him, Brooke.
12:30He doesn't think about that anymore, but I think about it every day.
12:33And now he's asking me again that he wants all the stress, all the workload.
12:37He wants that.
12:39And what am I supposed to do, just say nothing?
12:41I can't.
12:44As soon as a showstopper goes on the runway, I work on the next one, and the next one after that.
12:48And it's amazing.
12:50But it's relentless.
12:51That's why Eric loves it so much.
12:54Yes, but it takes its toll.
12:56Even on somebody like Eric Forrester.
12:57And you didn't think he would step away on his own?
13:01No.
13:03You know what?
13:03I don't think I would either.
13:06And I hope when it's my time, and it will be my time at some point,
13:11I hope somebody loves me enough
13:13to help me leave.
13:17All right, that's enough about us.
13:36Hope's getting married tomorrow.
13:38You excited?
13:39Uh, well, yeah, of course.
13:42I'm really excited for her and Liam.
13:45It's wonderful that they're finally getting back together.
13:47They've been through a lot.
13:49Yeah.
13:49And I'm, uh, I'm very excited for them.
13:52Yeah.
13:53Oh, and, you know, the best part is, like, little Beth is going to do the honors.
13:57That's going to be really cute.
13:58I know.
13:58I'm sorry I'm going to miss that.
14:01Oh.
14:01You're okay with this, aren't you, that I don't feel like going?
14:06Yeah, of course.
14:07I understand.
14:08I mean, it's been a lot.
14:09The press, the phone calls, the paparazzi.
14:12Yeah, and it's Hope and Liam's Day.
14:15Well, I will give them your best.
14:19But you, my dear, you will be missed.
14:24I wish Herrick had seen your gesture in a better light.
14:38You did the right thing, Mitch.
14:40Well, maybe it wasn't my choice.
14:43You said so yourself.
14:44You wish that somebody would do that for you if you were in that situation.
14:48It's obvious how much you love him.
14:51Well, maybe he doesn't see it that way.
14:53He would see it that way if he understood why you were doing it.
14:57Herrick is a fashion icon.
14:59He's not going to be left out.
15:01He's going to be busy.
15:02He's going to be doing fashion panels and conferences.
15:05Be honored around the globe.
15:06You two have shared the spotlight for decades.
15:11It is your turn to make a singular mark in Forrester Couture.
15:23Thank you for always supporting me.
15:25But I can't get this image out of my head.
15:27My dad walking out of here with this stapler like some icon that no one needs anymore.
15:35I never wanted that for him.
15:37He's given me everything.
15:38He's the one who put a pencil in my hand.
15:41I just wanted to celebrate him.
15:42That's all I wanted.
15:44And I want him to be healthy and I want him to be safe.
15:46And now I don't know if I made the right choice.
15:52Oh, my God.
15:53How can I not be invited to your daughter's wedding?
16:02We're married, Deacon.
16:04I know.
16:04I know.
16:05And if it were up to me...
16:06Can't you talk to her?
16:11I did.
16:13And did you explain to her how important this was?
16:18I mean, for people to see us together,
16:21that we're back together stronger than ever.
16:24Sheila, people can see us together at the restaurant.
16:26Oh, it's not the same.
16:27I mean, they see us there as co-workers.
16:33This is a wedding.
16:36It shows that we're together and that I'm yours.
16:39Baby, we don't have to prove that to anybody.
16:41Yeah.
16:42Dee doesn't believe it.
16:44Clearly, Hope doesn't either.
16:46We don't care what other people think.
16:47It's not other people.
16:52They're your kids.
16:54Sheila, I know you're disappointed.
16:57I'm sorry.
16:59But this is Hope's wedding.
17:01I've got to do what my daughter wants.
17:02You have put so much effort into this,
17:11and we are, like, unbelievably proud of you.
17:14It's going to be great.
17:16I promise.
17:17Oh, no, no, no.
17:18We know it will be.
17:20And you are going to make an amazing officiant.
17:23I want everyone to know how much I love my mommy and daddy.
17:27Especially you guys make me feel.
17:29And after tomorrow, you'll be married.
17:32We'll be a family again.
17:34Hey, listen.
17:37About the family thing.
17:39Always have been, always will be.
17:41Yeah.
17:42Love makes a family.
17:45And you, my darling daughter,
17:47are a beautiful piece of that puzzle
17:49that helps make it complete.
17:51You're everything we ever wanted and wished for.
17:55You're our little miracle.
17:56And tomorrow, you're going to help
17:59make another miracle come true.
18:01Which is us.
18:03Finally saying I do.
18:04Yeah.
18:05I can't wait.
18:07Tomorrow.
18:07Our wedding day.
18:10Our wedding day, she said.
18:13Our wedding day.
18:17We're going to be great.
18:18We're going to be great.
18:26We're going to be great.
18:51You
