00:00and he's ready to contribute to hope for the future but except you we haven't even discussed
00:05this my father and i have and we both agree using zenday and thomas is the best thing moving forward
00:09for your line well what about my brother he was offered a position here it was a trial position
00:15hope and hey he may very well have a future in fashion but not here at forrester your coo so
00:22you know everything happening around here i try to stay in the loop this yours yeah
00:30yeah it's nice smith thanks i'm hoping one of these will make production someday
00:35keep at it deke you never know it's actually kind of why i asked to meet with you carter um
00:41i was just wondering if you had any idea what the future holds for me at the company
00:45i have news oh good news i hope it's good news for some
00:52okay what is it zenday and thomas have been collaborating on hope for the future
00:57that's the good news the bad news is that means that hope's brother is out
01:04already i mean he hasn't even been here i know you know what i think this is
01:10i gotta think this is the right thing to do it's the best thing to hope for the future
01:16this is incredible first you spring the surprise wedding on mom and now you're creating a fashion
01:21company for her right here at spencer publications yeah it's definitely been a surprising couple of
01:26days but how could you possibly say no this is an amazing deal it is it's just it's not gonna be easy
01:34telling brooke
01:49i'm sure aunt brooke will be happy for you mom yeah that could go either way with forrester flapping
01:54his gums in brooke's ear well i do need to tell my sisters right away how about you don't worry about
01:58them you are putting yourself first for a change creating your own vision and it's gonna be beautiful
02:07thank you for having so much faith in me
02:12and thank you for all your love and support you've got it mom yeah you know what you're right you're
02:17right it's gonna be okay you know we logans we are all about lifting each other up
02:23or it's gonna be happy for me i'm just surprised to hear this well it all happened pretty quickly
02:34i don't know i'm i like deke i see a lot of promises i like him too and there's definitely
02:39promise but he just doesn't have the practical experience and i think sande thomas it's just a
02:45better fit i i don't mean to put you on the spot no no no it's fine i just say maybe maybe this is
02:54confidential uh i get if you can't talk about it deke honestly man i don't know what the plan is
03:03yeah no it's cool i uh i realize we're probably still working it out and i'm on a trial period so
03:09there's there's no guarantee it's just been a really great experience working here been a dream
03:15come true for me honestly so you're firing deke there's no room for him hope look i understand that
03:24deke is your brother but thomas and zenday they have it covered they make an excellent team it is my line
03:30stephi yes and i am co-co forrester so you're telling me i have no say
03:55no matter what the future holds i'm so thankful for the opportunity
03:59we feel that from you man we do and look i wish i had more answers for you no no look it's cool
04:06i uh i'm just gonna try to be patient do that i'll be honest with you though there's a lot riding
04:14on hope for the future and it's paramount to forrester's success they need to select the best
04:19design team possible zendy and thomas made the pitch they're capable they're more than capable we can't
04:26say that about deke yet i know he's still learning the ropes he would benefit from more experience
04:32absolutely we don't have the luxury to give them that here okay i mean but do you really think it's
04:39smart that stephi's the one delivering the news it's hope's brother after all i think that'd be a tough
04:45thing to hear from anybody but hope and stephi are in a pretty good place right now right yeah i think so
04:55but think about it hope's brother is being pushed out so stephi's brother can come in
05:01we are talking about my line i don't get to have a say in who my lead design team is that's why we're
05:13having this conversation hope thomas thinks deke is unnecessary well i don't i think deke is necessary
05:19and besides your brother lives in paris he'll work remotely or he can commute
05:24okay wow i'm sure it's not what you were expecting no no it really was i mean
05:35this really has come out of nowhere don't you think i mean one minute deke is positioned to
05:39potentially design for my line one day and the next thomas flies in and suddenly changes
05:44his mind and he decides he wants another chance at it how many of deke's designs have we put into
05:48production hope none he's a rookie thomas and zenday they are veterans it's that simple
05:57all i am asking for is for you to please reconsider deke loves it here he's passionate
06:04about this company all he wants is a chance can't we at least give him one
06:12is this really just about your brother or is it about my brother too
06:18well you know now that you mention it um it does put me in a bit of an uncomfortable position
06:27working with thomas again after everything we've been through and i'm sure liam won't
06:31be happy to hear about it either well we can't make business decisions because you're uncomfortable
06:37around my brother this is a family company and i thought we moved on from everything you have your
06:42own life he has his that's not the point don't you want what's best for your line thomas and zenday
06:51working together is the answer deke has fresh ideas i mean there has to be room for him there isn't
06:57and we can't keep someone on the payroll if they're not needed hope
07:00i think you should be the one to break the news to deke
07:15baller move with mom gotta hand it to you i'm just glad she's up for it who in the right mind would
07:20turn down this insane present it's incredible what you're doing for her i told you there's nothing i
07:25wouldn't do for your mom oh good um i've been looking for you there's something i need to talk
07:35to you about oh okay if this is about the outside pr firm i know no no it has nothing to do with that
07:43okay then what is it you know how bill can be a little um over the top when it comes to romantic
07:51gestures um well this time he really went big after we got married he gave me the most incredible
07:58wedding present let me guess a tiara no no not a tiara um a fashion house
08:21so how did it go hope wasn't too pleased of course not deke's family yeah she wants some
08:30around well deke is green he's fresh out of design school i just need some more experience that's
08:35it that's what i told brooke i'm sure she isn't too thrilled she's okay she understands i think but
08:40she also knows that her daughter's gonna be hurt i know that too hope's very lucky that her line
08:44exists we've poured so much money and resources into it dad i know this has got to work not just for
08:50hope but for the whole company so i've been dying to hear what you think i i meant to show you this
08:55earlier but um i stayed up all night working on this also this one too i mean just wait till it's
09:00finished i'm hoping to have a mock-up by monday oh oh oh wait one more one more so this one is so
09:06versatile like whatever you want nightclub beach club i mean i'm thinking we could get production costs
09:12way down and get a really good price point and i mean what do you think look i'm sorry i'm probably
09:18bombarding you with a lot but just the prospect of of having one of my designs up on the runway is
09:23just so exciting i'm gonna be my first time and and honestly if there's any tweaks you want done
09:28i'm open to anything i trust you deke i know i know i i'm probably like way too hyped up right
09:37now aren't i no i i love seeing you this lit up well of course i mean it's just such honor to be
09:45working at this company and obviously the best part is working with my sister
09:52so um i just i just met with um stephy and she spoke to ridge earlier oh uh
10:02does this mean they made a decision to do i have a permanent position on the line
10:15there's no one more deserving mom's a boss she's one of the most underrated figures in the fashion
10:21world katie's a force the total package marketing genius pr extraordinaire well not to mention the
10:27fact that she ran the company she was the ceo i know for a fact that she knows how to make magic
10:32happen yeah plus she's cool you know she knows what's happening she knows what's in yeah unlike that
10:37dinosaur rich exactly and i'm so excited for mom because i know she's gonna kill it she could run a fashion
10:43house in her sleep no more being taken advantage of taken for granted it's katie's time to shine
10:50sick of her being a cog in the wheel at forrester and finally no more answering to ridge and brooke
10:57fashion house yeah i know it it my own fashion company i mean it sounds crazy but i
11:07i'm so excited about this yeah it does sound a little bit crazy i mean developing a brand is a huge
11:16undertaking took years for forrester to get off the ground i understand that and i'm not naive i know that
11:21this is going to be a lot of work i'm going to be a very busy woman but i can do this i'm up for the
11:27challenge and bill has been incredibly supportive oh it's bill's idea yeah apparently he's been
11:34planning this for a while and he really wants this for me and he believes i can do it well that's really
11:41sweet but your own company i mean how is that even going to work well it will be under the spencer
11:49umbrella oh i mean okay i get it by the look on your face i can tell that you're shocked i am too but
11:55this is real bill's not making empty promises he is ready to get the ball rolling but are you ready to
12:02get the ball rolling honestly i was a little hesitant at first but i have given this a lot of
12:11thought and i've discussed it with will and and bill and i'm doing this and i wanted you to be the first
12:20no i hate this for deke i mean he is such a sweet guy he does have so much potential he's a go-getter
12:37but it's just it's not ready no i don't like doing this to a young designer but it's the right decision
12:43for us i think yeah i wonder how he's gonna react i was giving him the news as you speak
12:52so what'd you hear do i have a permanent position on your line
12:58you are tremendously talented deke but you still have a lot to learn zenday's already on the line
13:07and i just found out that thomas wants to be a part of hope for the future again
13:11i i think i know what you're about to say they're not extending my contract are they
13:20unfortunately no
13:23but it's not because you aren't good you are deke it's just there's no room right now
13:29zenday and thomas they want to take the lead and i really i didn't have any say in the matter
13:34it's okay hope i get it i mean
13:35obviously i wanted to stick around but those guys are way more established and experienced than
13:42i am and i basically just graduated so usually it's after years of mentorship and working as a
13:49designer that someone gets the opportunity to be the lead on the high profile line like this
13:55yeah i know um and i i have to keep proving myself i get it and i i will
14:06oh it's really really going to suck not seeing you here when i walked walking to work every day
14:13me too but you know you're my sister and i'm gonna see you all the time
14:18i mean who knows maybe that'll hire me at the restaurant oh my gosh don't say that you know
14:25you would love that
14:29i'm never going to give up on my dreams
14:39you sure you don't want to join your mom it's going to be the hottest fashion company in the world
14:43uh i'll keep my options open i think one spencer defection is enough for now yeah that clown show
14:49won't know what to do without katie i can't believe she's actually doing it walking away from forrester
14:54creations from her sisters it's the end of an era and the beginning of a new exciting one
15:03so bill is just starting a fashion house just for you i know it's it's mind-blowing
15:11and i'm just i'm trying to process it all myself it's just he has so much
15:19faith in me he's putting so much trust in me i guess i just never thought that anyone would
15:26believe in me that much so unconditionally i mean this is
15:29this is the most amazing thing that anyone's ever done for me
15:33yes but is this something that you really want yes it is i know it's daunting and it's going to
15:40take so much work but i've been in this business for a long time i know this business i'm ready
15:49okay so what are you gonna call it spencer fashions oh um well i haven't really
15:57thought about what i'm gonna call it yet i mean maybe maybe you can help me with that i mean
16:01fashion's your world it's kind of your turf right i i i don't know i don't know about that please
16:10understand i'm not disrespecting forrester creations but i've always felt like there's a bit of a glass
16:16ceiling here for me and i really hope that my departure won't affect will's future here at the
16:21company so you're really leaving i'm leaving and it's a little scary but i have to do this this
16:32once in a lifetime opportunity i can't walk away from this i mean i am happy for you i am it's just
16:42i'm a little sad you know i i love working with my little sister here
16:46and katie i mean this is this is gonna be hard you're starting a whole new company and yes you
16:54have experience but mostly in pr right and i know that running a company is a whole different beast
17:00i mean i ran forrester creations for a while yes you did you're gonna have to hire a whole new design
17:08team and they're gonna have to be the best because there's gonna be no room for error
17:12i know that there are no guarantees but bill believes in me and and i believe in me
17:22i want this
17:28i'm i'm just a little worried okay okay i'm worried but i know how you are when you set your mind to
17:36something there is no changing your mind so i have to accept it right and i will i mean i am happy for
17:46you i will support you in this thank you thank you
