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