00:00Eric, what are you doing here?
00:11I just came to visit.
00:12I'm surprised to see you here.
00:14It's a good surprise, I hope.
00:15You're here to patch things up with your sister?
00:19Well, that's certainly what I want.
00:20Well, I don't want to interrupt that discussion.
00:23Or maybe you're just here interested in what she's doing.
00:27Well, yes, of course.
00:28I want to be supportive.
00:30And accepting.
00:31Good. I'm glad to hear it.
00:33Katie was just about to tell me who her new designer is.
00:45That was a very interesting meeting, Rij.
00:47I appreciate you for letting me sit in on that.
00:48Well, I'm glad you got something out of it.
00:50Absolutely. I want to learn everything I can here.
00:53All aspects of the business.
00:54Keep doing that. Keep learning.
00:56Keep becoming an asset.
00:58I'll do my best.
01:00You're a smart kid.
01:03Thank you. I appreciate that.
01:05And I really appreciate this job.
01:08Now, I know things are complicated.
01:10What with my mother leaving to start her own fashion company at Spencer.
01:13But I just want to make sure that that's not going to affect me or my place here at Forrester.
01:21These are all of my newest pieces here.
01:24Impressive.
01:25Really impressive.
01:31That means a lot coming from the R.J. Forrester.
01:34Oh, come on.
01:35You've got as much experience in this building as I do, Elektra.
01:38You and Ivy are the actual Forresters here.
01:40Yes, but the whole building isn't buzzing about me.
01:43I mean, just as much as people talked about you while you were gone, they are just excited that you're home.
01:48People have been talking about me?
02:04And I think it's safe to say you've been missed.
02:08Well, I've missed this place, too.
02:10And getting to know you.
02:12It's crazy to me that we've never met.
02:15I mean, your family never visited when you were growing up.
02:17I know.
02:18And I always wanted to.
02:19I daydreamed about it, literally.
02:22L.A.'s been my hometown, but I've been gone a lot.
02:25First boarding school, then college.
02:28Well, I'm excited to get to know you now.
02:30Better late than ever.
02:33Your mother was a big part of Forrester for a very long time.
02:37She shook things up when she left.
02:40Heard her to even do her own thing.
02:41It was a surprise, but poaching her name, that was wrong.
02:47And I was kept out of the politics.
02:48I really was.
02:49My mom knows how much I love my job here.
02:52I'm committed to a future of Forrester creations.
02:54Your promotion reflects that?
02:57Now, again, I just want to make sure that my mom's departure is not going to affect my career at Forrester.
03:09Well, obviously, you two were reconnecting.
03:12I don't want to interrupt that, so I'll be on my way.
03:15Yeah, it was great to see you, Eric.
03:16Wait.
03:17You're not curious about Katie's designer?
03:20Um.
03:22And you never tell me what you're doing here.
03:25Katie, oh my goodness.
03:26Brooke, hi.
03:29You're here, but, um...
03:31Yes, I'm here to take my lovely wife to lunch.
03:34Yeah, and I was supposed to go with you guys, but I can't.
03:36I've got so much work to do.
03:38Oh, wow.
03:39Well, okay.
03:40Oh, my gosh.
03:40That's too bad.
03:41Gosh, yeah.
03:41I've got to get back to the office, too.
03:43I have so much work to do.
03:46Wait, before I go.
03:47Huh?
03:48Does Donna know who your designer is?
03:51Oh, no, no, no, no.
03:53You two, I'm Switzerland, remember?
03:55You two leave me out of this.
03:57Katie, why don't you just tell me?
03:58I guess it's business.
03:59It's just business, and business has been what's been coming between us, so I don't think we should talk about it.
04:04I mean, we want to move past all that, right?
04:06I mean, that's why you came to see me?
04:08Right.
04:09Okay.
04:10Just remember what I said.
04:12I would hate for our relationship to suffer because of work.
04:15Yeah, I don't want that either.
04:16I think we're all on the same page with that.
04:21Yeah.
04:22Okay.
04:23Okay.
04:25Bye.
04:26Bye.
04:26Bye, yeah.
04:29Oh, God.
04:31That was close.
04:32That was ridiculous.
04:35Why couldn't you two go playing with fire?
04:38Katie?
04:40I cannot believe you hired Eric as your re-designer.
04:43Oh.
05:02My parents are excited you're home.
05:07Yeah, to say the least.
05:08It was like this every time I came back from boarding school, too.
05:11You didn't get home much?
05:12Not as much as Mom and Dad wanted.
05:14But there were so many places to explore.
05:17I mean, I visited friends on almost every continent.
05:19Is that what you were doing in Brazil?
05:21Visiting friends?
05:22From design school.
05:23They're doing the most incredible things in Sao Paulo.
05:25It is such a vibrant, creative city.
05:29You know, I heard that the street murals and the street art are supposed to be beautiful.
05:34They are.
05:35Not to mention the food and the music.
05:37A little carnival action.
05:38I mean, Sao Paulo's Fashion Week is world class.
05:41Some of the freshest new designer show there.
05:44So what made you want to come back to L.A.?
05:46I miss my family.
05:49It's been years since I've seen my mom and dad together.
05:51Well, everyone is really happy for them.
05:53It's been a long time coming.
05:56Feels like something to celebrate.
05:58Well, I think they would say the same thing about you coming home.
06:01Golden child returns.
06:02The golden child?
06:04Yeah, you know, the only child of Forrester Royalty, Brook and Ridge.
06:10So, uh, plan on sticking around?
06:13Feels like time to make L.A. home.
06:14You know I'm not a big fan of your dad's, right?
06:26He tends to rub people the wrong way.
06:29Well, luckily you don't have that trait.
06:31Got my father's ambition.
06:33You also have the Logan work ethic, so maybe that's going to balance out.
06:37Listen, whatever Bill and Katie are doing over there has nothing to do with what you're doing here.
06:41Thank you, Ridge.
06:44I really appreciate that.
06:46Why don't you get to it?
06:53Hey.
06:53Hi.
06:54Nice to see you.
06:58Well, my nephew seems happy.
07:00I had a nice job with him.
07:02Good.
07:02Good.
07:03I wish I had a nice conversation with Katie.
07:08Did you guys argue again?
07:10No.
07:11Just didn't seem to make much headway.
07:14So she's not giving back the Logan name then?
07:16I didn't even ask her.
07:18I was hoping to discuss other things.
07:21Then your father walked in.
07:22My father walked in to Spencer, Logan, whatever it's called.
07:26Yeah, he walked in when Katie and I were talking.
07:30Why?
07:30What was he doing there?
07:33This is exactly what I was worried about.
07:38You were putting Eric in a terrible position.
07:41Look, Donna, we're going.
07:44We're going to be late for lunch.
07:45Oh, good.
07:45Can you stop, Eric?
07:47There is no lunch.
07:48There could be.
07:50Look, calm down.
07:51It's all right.
07:51It was just an awkward moment.
07:53Brooke didn't suspect anything.
07:54Yeah.
07:55No, she didn't because we lied to her.
07:57And guess what?
07:57We're going to have to keep on lying to her if we want to keep this whole thing a secret.
08:01Yes, well, that's the way it has to be.
08:03Just for a while until we get on our feet.
08:05That's all.
08:05Right.
08:06Right.
08:07Because Brooke said she's going to let it go.
08:09Right.
08:09Right.
08:09When did she ever let anything go, Katie?
08:12Never.
08:13Do you want her to find out from somebody else that Eric is your lead designer?
08:15The contracts haven't even been signed yet.
08:18We've got some time.
08:19That's right.
08:20Everything's going to be fine.
08:21I am so incredibly grateful that Eric has decided to come on board.
08:26It is amazing.
08:28It's amazing for you and the company because Eric is a fashion legend, still as creative
08:34and amazing as ever.
08:37There you go.
08:38Logan's going to have a fantastic launch.
08:40And I want that too.
08:42My God, Katie, I want you to succeed.
08:45And of course I want you to do the work that you love and get the accolades you deserve.
08:49But do you two not see how many different ways that this could go wrong?
08:55Because Brooke doesn't approve?
08:57No.
08:57Because Brooke came here to make peace with you.
09:00I don't...
09:01You could have patched things up with her.
09:03I don't get this.
09:04Do you not want to get along with her?
09:06Of course I do.
09:08Then what are you doing?
09:11You think things are tense now?
09:12Just wait until she finds out that you two are in cahoots.
09:15You know what?
09:16Our whole family is going to erupt into World War III.
09:34I can't believe RJ's back.
09:46He's so hot.
09:48You heard him.
09:49He says he's going to stick around LA this time.
09:51Yeah, well, not that exciting if he's going to stick around Elektra the whole time.
09:55Please.
09:55I refuse to let little miss goody-goody Elektra Forrester get her hands on RJ too.
10:01What's going on?
10:04Am I interrupting something?
10:06What you guys talking about?
10:09RJ.
10:10RJ Forrester.
10:15Okay, enough about me.
10:17What about you, Elektra?
10:18What do you want to know?
10:20Are you like in LA?
10:22A lot.
10:23It was an adjustment at first.
10:25Working here and living with Eric and Donna.
10:29Now you're feeling at home.
10:30I can't imagine being anywhere else.
10:32I have my Aunt Ivy here.
10:34All of the Forrester's here, actually.
10:37My work and my amazing boyfriend.
10:42Someone you met here?
10:43I literally bumped into him the first day of work.
10:46Who's the lucky guy?
10:48Will Spencer.
10:51Ah.
10:52Spencer.
10:54You were talking to Katie and my dad walked in?
10:57He seemed surprised to see me.
11:01Why was he there?
11:02Was he there to see your sister?
11:04No, he was picking Donna up to take her to lunch.
11:06Oh.
11:07Okay.
11:09And then you and Katie, you continued talking?
11:12I didn't really see the point.
11:14I mean, I already told her that I didn't appreciate her using the name Logan.
11:18But that our relationship was more important, and I didn't want to be at odds with her.
11:25And she heard you?
11:28I hope so.
11:31I think she feels the same way.
11:33We do love each other.
11:34I don't know if it'll change anything.
11:40It just seems so tenuous.
11:44I don't want things to be strained between us.
11:48You don't think you're being a little dramatic?
11:51World War III?
11:52Brook and Ridge, did you see how they were about the name Logan?
11:56They went ballistic.
11:57Ballistic over a name, Katie.
11:59My God.
12:01Do you...
12:01This is going to seem like a deliberate attack.
12:03Oh, that's not what this is, I can assure you.
12:06This has nothing to do with them.
12:07I am doing what's best for my company, what's best for Logan.
12:11You're thinking about Logan?
12:12Yes.
12:12Really?
12:13Have you thought about Eric?
12:15And maybe Eric's health?
12:17And the burden that this could be, being your lead designer?
12:21Look, I see this as an opportunity.
12:25Of course you do.
12:26And you know what, Eric?
12:27You will succeed, because you've succeeded everything.
12:31But you will be here all alone.
12:34You won't have Ridge or anybody to back you up.
12:38And yes, I get it.
12:40You're feeling energized, and fashion is in your blood, and I would...
12:44I would never tell you to stop that.
12:47But if you want a design, Eric, please...
12:51Just go back part-time.
12:54Part-time to Forrester.
12:56You're dating Will Spencer.
13:13Bill's son?
13:14Do you know him?
13:15My mom and his mom are sisters.
13:18Both Logan's.
13:19I don't know him very well.
13:20We went to different boarding schools.
13:22Had a couple holiday gatherings when we were little.
13:25Obviously, his dad's not a favorite with my family.
13:28Well, Will is a great guy.
13:32He is so kind, and sweet, and caring.
13:36You like him enough to put up with his dad and all?
13:39We're in love.
13:40It's gotta be hard, though, right?
13:42Not to bring up a bad subject, having just met you and all, but my family told me about
13:47the crazy Luna stuff.
13:49That didn't bother you?
13:56I honestly don't know what else I can say to her.
13:59But Katie wants to get along.
14:01I think so.
14:03I mean, it just went out in sync.
14:06You know, everything just feels off.
14:08You work through it.
14:09You always do.
14:11Yeah.
14:12I mean, we always did, ever since we were little.
14:15We always are there for each other as a family.
14:18We love each other.
14:20Okay, well, hold on to that, right?
14:23Looks for us.
14:24Yeah.
14:27Thank you for your support.
14:30That's you.
14:31You know that.
14:31Always.
14:32You know.
14:34I'm just worried.
14:35I was thrilled when I found out that Bill and Katie were getting married.
14:40But I'm not gonna let this
14:41wedding gift, this fashion house, tear us apart.
14:46It's tough right now.
14:49But it's gonna get better.
14:51Or it can't get worse.
14:52It's not a bad thing for Eric to be working here, Donna.
15:00Donna, I love you.
15:02And I love how much you care about me.
15:05You think I'm being overprotective, don't you?
15:11Stress is not good for you, honey bear.
15:13Design.
15:15Designing doesn't stress me.
15:17It gives me great, great pleasure.
15:19It makes me feel young again.
15:21But you can still design.
15:24Not at Forrester.
15:27That's Ridge's place now.
15:29He doesn't need me.
15:32But Katie does.
15:37Katie.
15:39Katie, come on.
15:40There's gotta be a different way.
15:43I mean, this is going to blow up both of our families.
15:48It's not just bad for Eric and Ridge, but for you and Brooke.
15:52It's gonna seem like a stab in the back.
15:56Stab in the back?
15:57Yes.
15:59No.
16:00Ridge forced his father out of his own company.
16:04That's a stab in the back.
16:05I mean, talk about an ageism.
16:07Okay, okay.
16:08You're right.
16:08You know what?
16:08You're right.
16:10Ridge shouldn't have done that.
16:12But he tried to correct it.
16:14Did he?
16:19You should have been given more respect.
16:21You should have been given more gratitude.
16:25You should have.
16:27But you are gonna be working for a company owned by a man that Ridge despises.
16:32I mean, that's gonna...
16:34It's gonna be the worst kind of betrayal.
16:38And you say that Forrester doesn't need you anymore.
16:41But Eric, they do.
16:44Forrester's your legacy.
16:45Forrester is my company.
16:49It's my company, Donna.
16:52I founded Forrester.
16:56And they pushed me out.
16:58They shoved me aside.
17:01That should have been my decision.
17:02And not theirs.
17:05Eric will get nothing but respect and support here at Logan.
17:09That's it.
17:10I'm sorry.
17:13I'm sorry.
17:17I've been trying to rise above this, Donna.
17:20I've been trying to look at it from different perspectives.
17:24And the longer I spend looking at it, the more pissed off I get.
17:32Designers reinvent themselves all the time.
17:34They find new challenges.
17:35They find new things to be excited about.
17:37And that's what I'm doing right now.
17:38Now, why shouldn't I?
17:40Because I'm too old.
17:42Because I've been in the business too long.
17:44You know, I can't do that.
17:46You can't shove me aside like that.
17:49Where's respecting your elders?
17:50And not shoving them aside.
17:55Respect your elders.
17:56That's what I was taught.
17:58And that's what Ridge and Brooke are going to learn right now.
18:01The hard way.
18:31And I'm too old.
18:42I'm too old.
18:45I'm too old.
18:50And I'm too old.
18:53And I'm too old.
18:55And like what I was trying to say.
