00:00Man, Ivy and Elektra really nailed it today.
00:08Jewelry and fragrance having a very good year.
00:11You can say the same thing about the whole company.
00:13Yeah? Can I say it about my COO? How are you doing?
00:17He's thankful.
00:19Work with my best friend again and looking forward to the new year.
00:24A new year that has Daphne Rose in it.
00:30You want me to speak to Zendée and Thomas?
00:32I hope to. We really want to create a new fragrance for Hope for the Future.
00:36Très bien.
00:38We'll have to coordinate schedules because Thomas is going to be in Paris.
00:42Well, that won't be a problem. I'll be in Paris too.
00:48You think we can help each other?
00:51I'm not sure.
00:53I mean, Logan is a new company. It's just getting off the ground.
00:56You just graduated from design school, but you're looking to get into the business and you clearly have talent and ambition.
01:03Katie, I would love to show you what I can do.
01:06I'm not short on confidence either and I like that.
01:09Although I'm not surprised given who your dad is.
01:14Your wife and my kid are certainly chatting it up.
01:16Well, Katie's the talker in the family.
01:21Me, I prefer silence.
01:24Yeah, they're probably talking about fashion.
01:26Yeah, Deke's way into it.
01:27He even went to design school.
01:29You know, he got a shot to work in the sister's line.
01:32Until Thomas and Zendée inserted themselves.
01:34You know, that's what old Forrester favorites is.
01:38Better to realize it early.
01:41I wish Katie did.
01:45She might be able to help him.
01:48What do you mean?
01:50Katie's calling the shots now.
01:53I gave her her own fashion house.
01:55Hello, hello.
02:06Sheila.
02:09I know you told me not to come by unannounced.
02:13And yet, here you are.
02:14I couldn't help myself, Taylor.
02:17Exactly.
02:19It's your impulsive nature that worries me.
02:22I don't know what you'll do next.
02:25I'm spending as much time with Daphne as I possibly can.
02:42And the holidays, they were...
02:45They were great.
02:48Ah, so you two are getting even closer.
02:51Yes, yes we are.
02:52But, I don't know, the closer I get to where I start to feel this distance.
02:58She confessed her feelings for me.
03:01And I turned her down because I was with hope.
03:05And she's really making me work for it.
03:07And she's worth it because she's beautiful and sophisticated and intuitive.
03:12Like, she knew the end of that relationship before I did.
03:14And...
03:16I don't know, man.
03:18I just need her to know that I don't take her for granted.
03:20I need to make it very clear how I feel about her.
03:23Going back to Paris?
03:25For how long?
03:27Don't worry.
03:28That won't impact my work at Forrester.
03:31I'll still be able to work with Thomas at International.
03:35This is a bit of a shock.
03:36What about Carter?
03:42Watching a new fashion house is a huge undertaking.
03:46Yes, and Brooke and Ridge are convinced I'm going to fail.
03:49They think there's no possible way I'll succeed.
03:52And I aim to prove them wrong.
03:55Well, I know the feeling.
03:57I'm forced to see they missed a great opportunity when they let me go.
04:00Well, it sounds like we're kindred spirits.
04:06So Katie started her own fashion house, huh?
04:09My wedding gift to her.
04:11Wow.
04:13You know what I just realized?
04:16You are a hopeless romantic, aren't you, big guy?
04:19Who the fuck could I just know a good investment when I see one?
04:23See, you dusted off a sword.
04:26Oh, well, actually, that was Katie's wedding gift to me.
04:29Nice.
04:31I'm sort of thinking it's kind of wild, you know?
04:33Liam and Hope, our kids are married.
04:35My son's over there talking business with your wife.
04:39Looks like there's no getting rid of me, Spencer.
04:43We'll get along fine, Sharp.
04:45Just keep that psycho wife of yours away from my family.
04:52I'm not here to make you feel uncomfortable.
04:56Is that how I seem?
04:57Oh, what you just said, that you're not certain what I would do next.
05:02That makes me seem a bit volatile.
05:06Sheila, your husband is one of my patients.
05:07I want the best for Deacon.
05:10You're worried I'm going to let him down again.
05:14Carter, I see the two of you at the office.
05:26I see the way you look at her.
05:27I see how much you care about her.
05:29There can't be any doubt, Ridge.
05:31Didn't you just say you had the conversation with her?
05:33Yeah, but that was before Hope and I broke up.
05:37She confessed that she loved me, and I turned her down.
05:40And I was flattered.
05:42I really was.
05:42But the timing, it was...
05:44Because you're still with Hope.
05:46Yeah.
05:47And Daphne, she warned me about all the danger signs, and I chose to ignore them.
05:52But she was right.
05:54About everything.
05:55Including us.
05:59Look, I know I've said this before, but this time, Ridge, I truly believe I have a future with her.
06:05I do.
06:06Well, if you believe it, then it's going to happen.
06:11Yeah.
06:16What about Carter?
06:18What about him?
06:20You've been seeing him.
06:23Casually, yeah.
06:24He's with the holidays together.
06:28We have potential.
06:30But it's the same as a new fragrance.
06:32It takes time to develop.
06:35And it's the new year, and I'm missing my family.
06:40So potential's not enough to keep you here.
06:44I thought Carter might clarify things at Christmas, and he didn't.
06:50You're really leaving?
06:52I'll miss you, Safi.
06:55Los Angeles has been exciting.
06:58But I belong in Paris.
07:00Well, I'll miss you, too, if you go.
07:07I guess I really thought you had fallen in love with Carter.
07:09Something tells me we have an audience.
07:17Yeah, my dad's probably going to tell me to get back to work.
07:19Well, I don't want to hold you up, but go ahead and finish what you were saying.
07:23Well, I mean, I could go on for days.
07:25You know, I had all these ideas broke for the future.
07:27The timeless elegance, but with a little edge, urban sophistication.
07:30A little more European?
07:32Exactly.
07:33Think like Paris-Milan, but with more California softness.
07:38Sounds a little like Forrester.
07:40But not as, like, traditional and conservative.
07:43Hope loved my sketches.
07:45But I still got the axe anyway, because of Richard's son.
07:49Forrester nepotism.
07:50Yeah, well, I know all about that.
07:53That won't happen at Logan.
07:56So do you have a family discount?
07:59Ask the billionaire.
08:00Of course we do.
08:02Okay, then I might not mind being stuck with you, Deacons.
08:08Seriously, I will tell you that I'm impressed.
08:13You've turned your life around.
08:15You've built a successful business.
08:16And who knows, it might be one that I'd even invest in someday.
08:23It's a smart move.
08:24I got big plans.
08:26It's too bad if Sheila's going to be part of them.
08:31Bad decision marrying her doesn't inspire confidence.
08:36Makes me wonder what the hell you were thinking.
08:41I love my husband.
08:44I want what's best for him, too.
08:47Well, you don't do that by keeping secrets.
08:50And I made mistakes.
08:51I'm the first to admit that, that I am not a perfect person.
08:55But Deacon, he's, he's made me better.
09:00And when I start to spin out of control, he just, he pulls me back in.
09:05Because this is all new for me, Taylor, it is.
09:11And I, I'm not going to do anything to risk that.
09:16I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost Deacon.
09:20You know, I've achieved quite a bit in every part of my life.
09:34Except one.
09:36Love can be a challenge for anybody.
09:39I didn't do myself any favors with my past choices.
09:43So I was always trying to make the impossible happen.
09:46And it's different with Daphne?
09:50I've been looking for the right one for a long time.
09:53And Daphne, she's sophisticated and thoughtful.
09:58And she's sexy as hell.
10:04What?
10:04Nothing, just looking at you, talking about her.
10:09I know, maybe she's the one.
10:17Love.
10:18Yes, love.
10:21Are you afraid of getting hurt?
10:23I don't want to be disappointed.
10:24Carter doesn't want to be disappointed, too.
10:27But I told him how I felt.
10:29Made myself vulnerable, and he still, he still pursued hope.
10:34A woman I knew was going to leave him.
10:38Well, he was optimistic, I guess.
10:42Well, Daphne Rose is nobody's rebound.
10:44You are definitely nobody's rebound, that's for sure.
10:47Am I asking for too much?
10:49I just want to be chased.
10:51No, not at all.
10:53But that's not the reason you're leaving, right?
10:56No.
10:58It's just time.
11:00It's time to go back home.
11:02It's time to leave L.A.
11:04I'm very proud of my time at Forrester, but it is the Brooke and Rich show over there right now.
11:12Done great things for the company.
11:14They have.
11:14They have.
11:15And I will be doing great things for mine.
11:18And for everyone who works with me.
11:21Tell me, would you be interested in being a part of something like that?
11:25Really?
11:27Well, I can't guarantee anything, but I think we should take a meeting.
11:31How does that sound?
11:31Like a great opportunity.
11:33I'd love to present my work and see what you think.
11:35Good.
11:36Looks like things are going well here.
11:38They are.
11:40Nice.
11:41Well, I hate to break it up, but we've got some businesses to run, don't we?
11:46We do.
11:47Yeah, I should probably get back to it.
11:49Have you seen my dad?
11:50Oh, he took off.
11:52He said that you could hold down the Ford.
11:54Well, yeah, I'm grateful for the paycheck, but I'm really not into this business.
11:59That's funny, because I might be.
12:02Really?
12:03Yeah, why not?
12:05I like pizza.
12:07I wouldn't mind our family's intermingling, but no Sheila Carter.
12:12You won't get any argument from me.
12:14Okay, well, let's talk soon, yeah?
12:18Yeah, yeah.
12:19I'm looking forward to it.
12:20Good.
12:21Take care.
12:22See you.
12:34Well, it looks like my stepson can charm the clients almost as well as his dad.
12:40Save any charm for me?
12:48Thank you for letting me know that you were running a few minutes behind.
12:51Oh, I hope you get the meter running.
12:53You know, you should probably charge me for the time I spend in traffic.
12:56Uh, why would I do that?
12:58Okay, this is going to sound a little corny, but honestly, I felt better just knowing I was coming to see you.
13:04And I probably shouldn't say this either, but damn, you've got a beautiful smile.
13:13Unfortunately, I'm about to chase yours away.
13:16Sheila came to see me again.
13:18I feel like I'm overstepping.
13:30Would that have stopped you if I said you were?
13:32Nope.
13:34No, man.
13:35You're my happily married best friend.
13:37I'll take any advice I can get.
13:39I didn't give you advice.
13:40It's just an observation.
13:41That Daphne is the one.
13:43You really believe that?
13:44Yeah, you disagree?
13:46No, no.
13:47I feel the same way.
13:48It's just, I'm surprised to hear you say it.
13:51Why?
13:52I didn't think you liked her.
13:54I don't have to like her.
13:55You have to like her, and you do.
13:57Look at your face.
13:58Look how happy you are.
13:59She's the reason for it.
14:00Yeah, she is.
14:01A big part of it, anyway.
14:03Yeah.
14:04All right, here's the advice.
14:06Go for it.
14:08Go for it.
14:09Yeah, if you find someone that makes you feel that way, let it be part of your future.
14:14Hey.
14:15There you are.
14:15Hey.
14:17You all right?
14:18Something wrong?
14:18Yeah, no, there's something you need to know, Carter.
14:20Look, um, I know how much you like Daphne, but you need to know that she's leaving town.
14:28She's going back to Paris.
14:28Being so far away from home, I was emotionally preparing myself, I suppose, for a quiet Christmas.
14:51I'm a lonely one, but being here with you, home doesn't feel so far away anymore.
15:06My dad went out, Sheila, he's not here.
15:08But he left you in charge.
15:10I was slammed earlier.
15:11It's not that busy now.
15:12Well, then maybe that gives us a chance to talk.
15:16I don't think that's a good idea.
15:18I understand.
15:19You don't want me.
15:21Married to your father.
15:24He can do better.
15:26And honestly, you're probably right.
15:30So you agree?
15:31Your father is amazing.
15:34I mean, look at him.
15:35All that he's accomplished.
15:37He really turned his life around, Deke.
15:40And he's helped me to do the same.
15:44But you got a huge secret from him.
15:46One that put a lot of people in danger.
15:48Yes, I did.
15:48I made a terrible, regrettable mistake.
15:53But Deacon forgave me.
15:58And he is so precious to me, Deke.
16:01I would love for you to see how much I love him, how much he means to me.
16:09Maybe one day you'll even accept our relationship.
16:15Because I promise you, I promise, I'm not going to let him go.
16:22Sheila came here again.
16:25I said she couldn't help herself.
16:29I'm sorry.
16:30I thought I got through to her.
16:32Well, she still believes I convinced you to take her back.
16:36That I saved your marriage.
16:37It's not necessarily the worst thing, is it?
16:40We both know it isn't true.
16:43That was your decision.
16:44And yours alone.
16:46What are you saying, Taylor?
16:48And you think I made the wrong one?
16:51Only you can answer that.
16:52Oh, come on.
16:53It's like you shrink a million questions.
16:55You won't answer one.
16:56Come on.
16:57I understand.
16:58I know.
16:58I know.
16:59My choice, my life.
17:00And you have a great life.
17:02You have your family.
17:03You have Hope and Deke.
17:06Il Giordino's doing great.
17:08No, I'm actually thinking of expanding.
17:13That's amazing.
17:14You're looking forward.
17:16You're setting goals for yourself.
17:17I believe that you can achieve them.
17:20That means a lot to me.
17:21Your faith in me.
17:23Well, it's more important for you to have faith in yourself.
17:27Really believe in the man that you've become.
17:29Put your past behind you where it belongs.
17:34I don't think I can put my past behind me.
17:37The past doesn't define you.
17:40Or your future.
17:44That's exactly the same thing that I preached to Sheila.
17:48Only you worry that her dark past might reappear.
17:54What did you say?
17:55She can't help herself?
17:57Her exact words.
17:59Okay, let me ask you something.
18:02I mean, not as a doctor, but as somebody that knows her.
18:05Do you think that she could turn again?
18:08I shouldn't say this, but yes.
18:19I have questions about your wife's emotional stability.
18:24It's impossible for me to discount all the pain that she's left behind.
18:34And I'm the fool who married her.
18:35Well, you're not a fool.
18:37You're a kind and compassionate person who believes that people can change because you did.
18:41And you want to give everyone that opportunity.
18:48Like I told Sheila, I want the best for you, Deacon.
18:54You said that to her?
18:56But I mean it.
18:57You're a remarkable man.
18:59You're a remarkable man.
19:00And I just, I just feel...
19:03What do you feel, Taylor?
19:12Tell me.
19:13A story to me.
19:21Well, you love you.
19:24I love you.
19:25I love you.
19:25All my PAUL
19:27See you.
19:28I love you.
