00:20i can't tell you how much i needed a hug for my son is everything okay mom yeah just dealing
00:27with some changes like granddad retiring like katie leaving the company marrying spencer again
00:33i was hoping that part was just a rumor yeah that would be nice but um i had to give her a lavish
00:39wedding gift her own fashion house you're kidding and against my wishes she named it logan
00:49needless to say we've been at odds ever since sorry to hear that one it's just heartbreaking
00:59i don't want there to be tension between katie
01:02i am dying to get logan up and running katie we have to set up some more interviews i mean time
01:11is of the essence we need a lead designer yeah yeah you're not wrong we have to get on this asap
01:17why are you looking at me like that right here oh there was something i was going to tell you
01:23and i um oh i remember what it is we have a lead designer what not deacon's kid no no no eric forrester
01:35katie i hope it's okay but the eric what i didn't know that you were gonna be here
02:00yeah i was just having a conversation with your sister about her new endeavor here oh well that's
02:06very nice of you my handsome husband the legendary fashion expert it's very positive conversation
02:16actually good because katie is in some need of some real guidance well you don't have to worry about
02:22her her new company anymore okay why not because things are looking up not just for her her company
02:31but for me as well you know i've uh well i have a whole new endeavor coming up right and it's not
02:38just helping your sister but it's uh it's a new outlet for my creativity okay i have no idea what you're
02:46talking about i've agreed to be your sister's lead designer
02:53it's gotta be hard for you mom i mean i know how close you are with you and your sisters
03:14close or not katie took the logan name and that's a name that's synonymous with brooke in
03:19the fashion industry of course everybody knows that yeah as much as it hurts i just don't want to
03:25fight with her i know you don't but she doesn't even want to compromise right
03:30well it kind of sounds to me like it's out of your hands at this point right i mean you can either
03:38accept it or you don't dad and i are here for you either way you're right rj what's done is done
03:47and i need to find a way to move on you know i think i'm gonna go over and see katie and
03:56make things right eric forrester he's your lead designer yeah and i didn't steal him i didn't even
04:05pitch the idea to him it was his decision oh okay hold on here i mean let's take a look at both sides
04:13of this on the one hand i could see eric coming to you with this offer based on the fact that his
04:20ungrateful son forced him out on the other hand can you really see eric turning his back on the
04:29company he built from nothing the company that bears his name
04:33you're in shock
04:39i'm speechless it's a good thing donna you're no one is more deserving of my expertise and my skill
04:50than katie okay eric this is really really sweet of you but to say that i'm worried is
04:59an understatement you're worried yes yes about your health about what this could do to you and ridge
05:06brooke and katie yeah do do brooke and ridge know about this no no and we're not gonna tell them either
05:14wow i feel so out of the loop i'll cut you up are you busy traveling the world was south america was
05:33incredible no place like it that's what you should be doing right now traveling you know
05:38finding out about who people are who you are selfishly i hope you have some of that wanderlust
05:45out of your system now for now for now that's all i want what i want right now is dinner with you
05:52your mom start there i just hope she and katie can get through this they will i mean can't get any worse
05:59right right once they make peace over the logan name shouldn't be anything else to argue about
06:05i'm curious to see what's gonna happen at katie's fashion house you think she's in over her head
06:12i know she's in over at her and spencer they don't know what they're doing
06:16you and granddad know what it's all about though right i'm so lucky i get to learn from you dad
06:21i was serious though three generations of foresters working together again
06:26would have been awesome that would have been awesome but hey you got me you got your mom and
06:32big family to go on hey rich uh i've got the final pieces for you here on ivy and i are really
06:39happy with how they turned out electra
06:42sorry i didn't realize you were in a meeting meet my son rj
06:55nice to meet you you too
06:59you have just entered retirement yeah well not by choice and you want to be head designer
07:16of a brand new fashion house yeah well not just any fashion house the katie's fashion house yes
07:22yes yes and like i said that that that's really sweet and generous of you but but that's a lot
07:29look i appreciate so much that you worry about me
07:34i'm very thankful for that but this is my decision i've decided to do this and it's what i want to do
07:41not just for katie but for me okay okay but what about broken ridge how are they going to react when
07:50they find out that's exactly the way i don't want them to know right now i want to wait until the time
07:54is right to tell them all right i'll decide when that is i want to be sure that it's a good fit for me
08:01if eric truly is committed to us a large part of his motivation has to be sticking it to ridge for
08:17forcing him out now if you believe that he's sincere and on top of that that eric can dig deep
08:24into his creativity and get outside of his traditional box we are all there sticking to
08:30that pompous dress no that is not what we're going to do that's not what this is about oh this is
08:35exactly what it's about well it's certainly component after the way he disrespected you
08:41now if you do decide to bring eric in as your lead designer you really trust him
08:47we have to do a huge media splash right away uh eric forrester goes to logan jumps back in the
08:56fashion ring ready to throw knockout punch to some no we're not doing that absolutely not we we have
09:02to keep this quiet bill quiet yes no katie we need to be as loud as possible put your pr hat back on
09:09we need to create a lot of hype we're going to handle it properly that's what eric wants he hasn't
09:15told anyone yet i don't want him changing his mind i don't think he will i am hoping and praying
09:20that he doesn't okay well sounds like you really do trust eric i do all right well if you decide to
09:32bring him on as your lead designer congratulations thank you i couldn't have done this without your
09:41faith and your support i just wish brooke felt the same way i know you do and i am aware of how
09:51hard the tension between the two of you is on you but i also know how resilient you are
09:58i love you i love you i love you too i've got a google meeting i will see you later okay okay
10:05my incredible wife knocking it out of the
10:11there's that logo
10:32have to admit it still bothers me that you're calling your company logan
10:44but it bothers me even more that we're at odds
10:49it's a little crazy you've never met
11:03yeah i mean not even like when we were little or something
11:07you would have thought of one of the big family summits or something
11:10yeah you guys had family summits
11:12kidding oh still wild though same last name no relation
11:19the whole moroni thing still doesn't mean i'm not aware of you
11:25your work
11:27the jewelry line is pretty impressive
11:31well thank you but my aunt ivy deserves most of that credit
11:35don't be modest you made quite an impression a lecture
11:39are you sure you want to do this yes absolutely
11:52eric come on look around we are at spencer publications
11:59you are going to be working for dollar bill
12:03nah i don't see it that way i mean he financed this whole thing he put up the money for this
12:08company
12:09and i'll grant you that but he's not the boss
12:12katie's the boss so i don't think i'll be
12:17interacting with bill very much at all
12:23yeah it's ridge wants to know if i can play tennis this weekend
12:29okay so what are you gonna say and i tell him i'm busy
12:34i have all the action i can handle what are you gonna do when bridge really
12:38finds out what you're doing brook and ridge they are gonna take this personally
12:44well they shouldn't i mean what's a a little healthy competition huh
12:49besides brooke doesn't own the name logan
12:54any more than forest surrounds me
12:58i adore you katie i don't want trouble between us i don't want that either
13:06this is a huge turning point in my life and i have felt like you have not been supportive
13:11i apologize
13:15the only issue that i've had the name i know it's the name and i'm not changing it
13:23that's not why i'm here
13:24i came because i want to make peace between us i would love that
13:31i would love to just go back to the way things were
13:35but i just have a feeling that you're going to be even less supportive of me in the future
13:39i don't want you to fail i want the best for you i mean that
13:46i've been in this industry for decades i know how competitive it is and yes
13:52okay maybe i was tough on you maybe i was just being a little too realistic
13:56i was scared at first i was
14:03but i'm not anymore i have people around me who believe in my vision
14:10and i have all the tools i need to succeed in this business
14:21so we have the same last name but we're not blood related and we've never met until today
