00:00Logan. That's not very original.
00:03No, it's not. Brooke's name and Spencer stole it from us.
00:07How? I thought we had the rights.
00:09We did.
00:10For years.
00:12They expired over a year ago.
00:15Seriously?
00:18Leave it to Dollar Bill Spencer.
00:21Well, not just Bill. Katie's involved in this too.
00:25I barely recognize my sister these days.
00:30Hey, Steve. Thanks for helping out with your own man of hand.
00:40Dad, you're giving me a job. I'm the one who's thankful.
00:43Kid, Nate, working here with my son in my restaurant, this is the best.
00:48Look, I know that things didn't work out at Forrester, but you are welcome here anytime, all right?
00:52Just, you know, until you get another design kit. Anytime.
00:56Thanks, Seth. You have no idea how much I appreciate this.
01:00Hey, what do you know? It's my in-laws.
01:03What? We're practically brothers now, Spencer.
01:05Uh, don't get carried away, sure.
01:07It's good to see you, Deke.
01:08You too. Deke's helping out today.
01:10Uh, follow me. I saved you a terrific table right over here.
01:16Good old.
01:18Good old.
01:19Good old.
01:20Good old.
01:20Good old.
01:21Good old.
01:21Good old.
01:22Good old.
01:22Thanks.
01:23Well, it's nice to be on a date.
01:27Yeah, it is.
01:29And now that you've had some time to breathe, how are you doing?
01:34Kitty, do not let drugs control and negativity get in your head.
01:39I am not.
01:40You know what?
01:41If she wants to believe that I'm going to fail, that is her problem, not mine.
01:45That's right.
01:46You'll settle it on the runway.
01:48You'll show all the doubters how wrong they are.
01:54Yeah.
01:54Oh, my God.
02:24Just what the world needs in another struggling fashion house.
02:47I wish Katie the best. I just don't want her using my name.
02:52There's no workarounds.
02:53We have no rights to Logan at this point.
02:57I have no idea why she even wants to use my name.
03:01Maybe she wanted something that's already established in the business.
03:05Makes it easier.
03:06We'll have to adjust. Hopefully they'll cross the line somewhere.
03:11Well, we've already had to recalibrate.
03:13Katie's departure is a big one.
03:14Look, I like where we're sitting with Hope for the Future. Thomas and Zenday heading up the line.
03:23Yeah, they make a great team.
03:24I'm just sorry that there wasn't room for Hope's brother.
03:30We had to let Deke call.
03:31It's not a bad gig.
03:41Celebrities, influencers, they're in here all the time.
03:43This place is really blown up.
03:46Yeah, food and beverage, baby. That's where it's at.
03:49Best pizza on the West Coast.
03:50Too many carbs.
03:52Are you serious? Carbs?
03:53Like, pizza is like the perfect food.
03:56You got vegetables. You got calcium. You got protein.
03:59Life's short. You gotta live a little.
04:00Have the extra mozzarella.
04:02Well, nobody does it better than you.
04:03Come on.
04:04It's because I went to go study with the expert, Chef Daniele, in Italy.
04:09It was just.
04:11It's real.
04:12You know, I'm proud of you, Dad.
04:16But the restaurant world just isn't my thing.
04:19I know. I know. Fashion's your passion.
04:21To not just say that, that I'm... I did.
04:24Dad, yeah.
04:25I just hope I get another shot after Forrester laid me off.
04:29Let's go.
04:42Katie, you've got what it takes.
04:46Creativity, dedication.
04:48Not to mention being the smartest person I know.
04:51Soon the world will see what I have seen all along.
04:55Never watch in awe as you crush the competition and dominate the runway.
05:02You'll see.
05:04They're not going to know where to hit them.
05:06They're going to be speechless.
05:09Well, that's the plan.
05:13First, I need a line.
05:15A designer.
05:16I don't know. I don't get it.
05:33You were over there proving yourself.
05:35You got the job on your own merit.
05:37Only to lose in a matter of months.
05:39Why did Forrester make a mistake turning you loose?
05:42I was just so settling in.
05:44Getting in my groove.
05:45It's their loss. Big time.
05:47I know I don't have a ton of experience, but...
05:50I know what I have to offer.
05:52I have drive.
05:53I'm willing to put in the hours.
05:55Do what it takes to improve my craft.
05:57You know, make my mark.
05:58You are going to make your mark.
05:59Look, if Forrester couldn't appreciate you, then it wasn't a good fit.
06:02I know there's something else out there waiting for you, Deke.
06:05Something that's going to...
06:06That's going to light up your whole world.
06:08I feel it with all my heart.
06:09I know it'll happen.
06:12Someday.
06:14You know the reason you got dumped?
06:16It was nepotism.
06:17I mean, of course Steffi and Rich brought Thomas back to the line.
06:20In their eyes, that guy can do no wrong.
06:22I get it.
06:23Thomas is a Forrester.
06:26But he's extremely talented in his own right.
06:28Yeah, he's also extremely unstable.
06:30Don't you ever forget what he put your sister through.
06:33Don't worry.
06:34I won't.
06:35But we're talking about Thomas as a designer, and like it or not, he's back now.
06:40I'm working with Sunday, and I'm here waiting tables in my dad's restaurant.
06:46It's going to be an uphill battle for Katie.
07:04She has no idea what she's getting into.
07:07I mean, she doesn't know how to run this office, how to run a company day in, day out.
07:10Not to mention all the competition out there, and all the expenses.
07:15Oh, that's on Bill, isn't it?
07:16I'm not sure that Katie thinks about that too much.
07:18I mean, she has a lot going for her, Rich.
07:21She has excellent marketing skills, relationships with key advertisers.
07:24Media reps.
07:25She's really tech savvy.
07:26She really is.
07:27You know what she isn't?
07:29She's no designer.
07:30She's no clothes.
07:31She has no product and no plan.
07:34They have no employees.
07:35They have no team.
07:36It's just her and Bill over there in that fancy office.
07:39Yeah, last time I looked, it takes more than a fancy office to run a company.
07:44Look, Bill will get bored of this, and he'll move on to something else.
07:47Yeah, exactly.
07:49Why would she marry this guy, Inga?
07:51Why would she do any of this?
07:52Why would she do that to you?
07:54Thought she was better than that.
07:55Well, she did get a fashion company out of it.
07:57No, she got a fancy office and a big idea.
08:00No legs.
08:01No legs in this industry.
08:05We're already searching for a designer.
08:07We'll find someone.
08:08Yeah, but who?
08:10I mean, I don't want just anybody.
08:11I want someone young and bold and unexpected.
08:21What's going on there pretty head of yours?
08:23I'm thinking that maybe the answer is right in front of us.
08:28Deke, hey, can I steal your way?
08:32Can I do something for you, too?
08:35Could you excuse us for a second, Bill?
08:37I'm going to speak to Deke.
08:39We'll take it with you.
08:42All right.
08:42Do you think that your dad would let you take a break and you could join me?
08:54I'm sure he wouldn't mind.
08:55Okay, well, sit down.
08:56First, I just want to say that I'm really, I'm sorry about what happened at Forrester.
09:03Yeah, it was super disappointing, but it was an amazing experience overall.
09:08I know it's how the business works sometimes.
09:10And I don't know, I'm just grateful to have the opportunity.
09:15Well, I know everyone was really impressed with your work, myself included.
09:19Thanks, Katie.
09:20It means a lot to hear you say that.
09:23So I'm just curious.
09:24I mean, I was kind of out of the loop when this all went down.
09:28And so, what happened exactly to you at Forrester Creations?
09:51Want some coffee?
09:54Uh, no.
09:55Give me a club soda.
09:59What is the world coming to when Dollar Bill Spencer wants a club soda and a lime?
10:04What, do you want a cherry on top?
10:06Maybe.
10:08I'm trying to change my ways.
10:11Ah, I hear you.
10:12Hey, I got to tell you, marrying Katie that night, same day proposal, pretty smooth.
10:18You work fast, Spencer.
10:20Fast?
10:21I was trying to get Katie to take me back for years.
10:24And thank God she finally said yes.
10:27Well, I'm happy for you, sincerely.
10:29Sorry I couldn't beat it.
10:30How about Liam and Hope's wedding, though?
10:32That was pretty special.
10:33You know, that little granddaughter officiating the nuptials?
10:36Reverend Beth.
10:37Yep.
10:37Very adorable.
10:38Here we are, tied together.
10:40Forever.
10:42Like an anchor around my neck.
10:45My daughter married to your son.
10:46Well, at least Liam's nothing like you.
10:52You're right.
10:54We're full of opposites.
10:55We're lucky for him.
10:57Well, now that you're Katie's husband, here's some good news.
11:01We're finally off the Brooke train.
11:02Part of me is still hurt by Katie, and part of me is excited for her.
11:17I got to think that everything you're feeling is normal.
11:21She's my little sister.
11:22I mean, I really shouldn't feel torn like this.
11:24We all know how much you love Katie.
11:27Yeah, Katie, she's the one who put you in this position,
11:30insisting on naming her company Logan.
11:32Really?
11:33I told her she could use any other name.
11:36Yeah, but she wasn't having it.
11:38Well, she said it was her family name, too.
11:41And I can understand that.
11:42Yep.
11:43I can.
11:44The whole thing's a little sad.
11:47She wants what you have.
11:49Recognition, fame, all of it.
11:52I don't know about that.
11:53Well, no.
11:54I do know that she admires you, and she always will.
11:59Well, I admire her, too.
12:01I respect everything she's overcome and all that she's accomplished.
12:05It's surprising, though, isn't it?
12:07It's not like Katie to dig her heels in this heart.
12:10Not that surprising.
12:11That's what happens when you marry an egomaniac.
12:14Running a fashion house isn't for the faint of heart,
12:17especially coming from PR.
12:19Well, we have to remember that Katie did run Forrester years ago for a little while.
12:25Oh, yeah, I forgot Bill's hostile takeover.
12:29She ran this company for about a minute and a half the last time Spencer stole from us.
12:34So what do they have now?
12:35They have a name that doesn't belong to them.
12:37They have no design team, no fashion sense.
12:40Good luck.
12:49Things were going well.
12:50I was in a great position, learning a lot, soaking it up like a sponge.
12:55I mean, just being in that building,
12:57driving through the gates of Forrester Creations every morning,
13:00it's surreal, Katie.
13:01I can't explain it.
13:04Well, it sounds like you really enjoyed your time there,
13:06and you got a lot of good experience.
13:09As much as I could.
13:10School taught me a lot.
13:12Helped me on my craft, but
13:13there's nothing like getting your hands dirty,
13:16pitching ideas,
13:18being amongst the greatest of the great.
13:21I loved every minute of it.
13:23That's wonderful.
13:25It's too bad that your time there was cut short.
13:28I get it.
13:29Thomas wanted to head up the line again,
13:31and there's seniority.
13:35He and Zendaya have a lot more standing in the industry than I certainly do.
13:38Yeah, they also have the same all-important last name, Forrester.
13:42Yeah, that was part of it, for sure.
13:46What could I do?
13:48I was bummed, but I'm just grateful.
13:50Working at Forrester was my dream job,
13:52and I'm just lucky I got a little taste of it.
13:55Well, you're a natural talent.
13:58You have new, inspired ideas,
14:02so don't give up on your dreams.
14:05Because you never know.
14:07And someday they just might come true.
14:09How's your club soda and lime shooting you?
14:27Mmm.
14:27That's the best I've ever had.
14:30That's the spirit.
14:31Think about it.
14:31No hangover anymore, right?
14:32Listen, um, since I got you here,
14:36there's something I'd like to talk to you, Ma.
14:38Shoot.
14:39Look, Bill Giardino's obviously a hit, right?
14:42We got reservations backed up for weeks.
14:46I'm thinking about expanding.
14:49Ambitious?
14:49I know.
14:50I can do it.
14:51The frozen pizza business is going through the roof,
14:53and I'm not ready to talk about it yet,
14:54but I'm telling you, Bill,
14:55this thing is going to be a cash machine.
14:58You're looking for investors.
14:59You know, 10 years ago,
15:03I would have run for the hills.
15:06But today, I'm impressed.
15:09You've actually made a name for yourself, Deacon.
15:13And, uh, the pizzas?
15:15Let's take that.
15:16That's how I pray is coming from a fancy guy like you.
15:20I don't know.
15:21I'd like to get Deacon involved,
15:22but he's not into it.
15:23You know, he's fashion that's in his blood.
15:25Personally, I don't get the whole dressmaking thing myself.
15:30Yeah, I don't either.
15:32That's all about to change.
15:35Thanks to Katie.
15:50Spencer thinks he knows everything.
15:53Well, Ridge, the guy built quite the empire.
15:56Okay.
15:57Does no business.
15:58No, he knows how to fatten his wallet.
16:00That's it.
16:01He's not exactly well-liked in the fashion industry.
16:03That's true.
16:04He's burned some bridges in the past.
16:07Oh, he's not in the tabloids.
16:09I mean, how many people did he throw under the bus,
16:11and now he wants to start a fashion empire?
16:13Come on, they're going to laugh him out of town.
16:15And I know this is Katie's little toy,
16:17but his face is all over it.
16:19Well, yes.
16:20Spencer Publications is ran very differently than Forrest or Creed.
16:23Of course it is.
16:24Why do you even bring that up?
16:26You want to do something like that?
16:27You need soul.
16:29That means that Spencer is out.
16:31We don't deal in acquisitions and in mergers.
16:35We don't deal in money.
16:36We deal in beauty.
16:37We find a place and we try to take that and weave it into material
16:41and give it to men, give it to women,
16:43and make them feel a certain way.
16:44Beauty, inside and out.
16:47That's what we deal with.
16:49Individuals, what they want.
16:50The respect we show them.
16:52He doesn't respect anybody.
16:54He's not an artist.
16:55And I'm sorry to say that,
16:57but your sister's not an artist either.
16:59She's in PR.
17:00She can take art.
17:00She can promote it, but she can't make it.
17:04So what do they have, really?
17:05They have an idea, and they have money,
17:08but they have no design team.
17:09They have no artistry.
17:11They have no heart.
17:13What do they have?
17:21Thanks for the pep talk, Katie.
17:23I really needed to hear that right now.
17:25Oh, it's not just a pep talk.
17:27It's the truth.
17:28Dreams come true.
17:29Miracles can happen.
17:30I mean, look at me.
17:31A lot has happened in my life recently.
17:33I mean, I moved back in with Bill.
17:36I got married.
17:37I heard.
17:38Congratulations.
17:39Yeah, it's been wonderful.
17:41Kind of a whirlwind.
17:42I'm not even just talking about the marriage.
17:44I'm also talking about my wedding gift.
17:47Bill wants to help me fulfill my dreams.
17:50He's giving me a fashion house.
17:53Oh, wow.
17:54I had no idea.
17:56That's incredible.
17:58Yeah, it's kind of crazy.
17:59It's exciting.
18:00I'm a little nervous, a little overwhelmed.
18:03Well, it's a big endeavor, but I've seen you outside of Forrester.
18:07I know what you're made of.
18:09You can do this, Katie.
18:10I believe in you.
18:13It's nice to hear you say that.
18:15I believe in you, too.
18:17I mean, to even be considerate of Forrester, you've got to be good.
18:20I've seen your designs.
18:22You've got talent.
18:23I mean, you're young.
18:24You're fresh out of design school, but you're an artist.
18:27You might be just the person I'm looking for.
18:31You see, every new business, every new company, it needs people who can nurture it, who believe in each other.
18:38Brookbridge, they're just waiting for me to fall flat on my face.
18:41But I'm not going to let that happen.
18:43I am determined to succeed.
18:44But before I can do that, I need a design team.
18:51So I might be able to help you fulfill your dreams, and you might be able to help me prove my sister wrong.
18:58And I'm not going to let that happen.
19:15I don't.
