00:08go
00:08to your annual physical no for keeping me young oh so you're giving me full credit yeah yeah
00:19but something happened and let me so dad now we have the same doctor right so uh eric went in
00:26maybe a week ago get his physical done and the doctor is concerned about it about eric but a
00:34stress level why is he stressed all right why why be stressed did you retire so you want an exact
00:43timeline uh we haven't really set any uh firm deadlines yet just ballpark it for me when's
00:52the first showing what are you shooting for designing a collection takes time though and
00:59i'm not going to put this one out until i'm until i'm completely satisfied and we agree that it has
01:06to be perfect it's going to put logan on the map and i have every confidence that you're going to
01:11deliver on that you understand how much is writing on this launch
01:29you check in with eric yeah i call him i text him he's very busy busy with what i don't
01:36know
01:37we're all busy but i don't know what he's doing no idea oh hey maybe i should check on him
01:42okay oh
01:43hey glad you're here yeah yeah you you need something well yeah we need some information
01:52about your husband i had my physical and uh dad's name came up oh yeah yeah he had his appointment
02:01a
02:01little while like well you know they're such good friends i don't have to bug my husband to see his
02:06doctor you know so everything's okay nothing to worry about what do you mean apparently eric's been
02:16stressed yeah the doctor mentioned it so what's uh what's going on everything all right what is he up to
02:24i'm the designer bill my focus is creative at spencer everyone is accountable for the bottom line
02:32which i'm sure eric understands my husband is a very passionate businessman he wants logan to succeed
02:41just like we all want logan to succeed because we are all part of the same team and we will
02:46do
02:47whatever it takes to support you thank you come in oh good ladies we were just uh actual designs
02:57that's more like it thanks very much let's take a look here
03:08all right would you will turn again please thank you both of you yeah i like the drape it's nice
03:18the applique stitching
03:25so what do you think well these are my designs absolutely but they're not uh
03:32they're not exactly what i expected
03:38these are all wrong
03:50my dad is no longer running this company so where's all this stress coming from
03:55rich come on come on you have to understand the man loves what he did
04:00so you're saying he just misses designing oh brooke
04:05misses design he he built a forest of creations and he's welcoming anytime he wants
04:12you are running the company now ridge and as as proud as he is
04:17it's really hard for him to we all know how difficult it was for eric to leave
04:23yeah and and and he's trying to to put it behind him and and and start something new okay a
04:31a different future all right and what does that mean what are you saying you start something new what where
04:38is this pressure coming from what do you mean uh they're not right they're your designs eric that's that's what
04:47you drew
04:48well our design is not a sketch it can't be just a sketch you're worried about
04:52the execution yes look elegance is in the details all right the the uh the texture of the fabric
04:59and finishing every stitch i mean look back here this clasp is plainly visible you could see the connection here
05:07it's just a first look and that's only a button yeah well uh not on a forester design
05:13these are logan designs no no you want these logan designs
05:17to exceed forester don't you is not what you want
05:20that's exactly what we said and we will fix these details yeah look that's gonna solve everything
05:25i mean look at the silk this is not what i asked for what's wrong with it
05:29i ordered italian silk from como right and i had to make an executive decision
05:35we can't source from the same vendors as forester if we do that there's a risk that word will get
05:43out
05:44you will be exposed and nobody wants that our employees have signed ndas but our vendors have not
05:51on top of that the lead time for delivery on that particular material is outside of our timeline
05:59so i had my people find another silk and it's basically the same
06:04well it's not the same i can tell you that i told you that
06:07okay um ladies thank you thank you so much that's all for today
06:11i'll let so i know that there will be changes coming
06:21eric are you okay
06:24yes uh yes i'm all right all right katie
06:30you can't compromise equality that's a recipe for disaster
06:36i want you to listen to me i want you to trust me trust my expertise and my experience that
06:42uh we're gonna have to delay this launch delay that's not happening
06:57bill i want to hear what eric has to say do you want to delay the launch
07:01no i don't but if we have to yes you do have to just you're gonna take more time
07:07how much time as much time as it takes bill i'm not gonna do this unless we can do it
07:13right
07:16you promised katie a collection yes i did katie look i
07:24i promise we'll do this together all right now you and i
07:29you're not the only one with something at risk here
07:33we want this logan collection to be as good as anything for us to ever put out
07:39we want it to excel yes
07:45oh oh i'm so sorry i uh i thought the meeting was over
07:49might be oh uh what what's going on well the first look of the dresses on the models was a
07:59disaster don't you think you're overreacting to a little silk okay we're gonna just uh take a
08:05breather and uh calm down a little bit calm calm down no we don't need that i was gonna take
08:12off
08:12anyway i'm gonna go home right there's nothing more i can do here until we've made a few adjustments
08:18we all have work to do
08:34eric what is going on here
08:39you look really stressed right now yeah eric this cannot be healthy did bill do something
08:50or is it the job
08:55i'm worried about that and you still don't know when we were talking about it right
09:01eric's your dad but he's her husband i get that exactly but if a doctor knows something
09:06then the wife should know it too yeah she really does care about his health
09:10i'm saying she doesn't care about him i'm saying maybe it's him maybe he's keeping something from
09:15her you know just to keep her happy you really think he'd be hiding something that's what he does he
09:21he does that to protect the people he cares about
09:25doesn't give him bad news that's true that does sound like eric it does
09:30if we had him he would get it out of him but he doesn't show up here anymore
09:35i miss him you know
09:38some of the best moments of my life
09:40right here this desk with my dad
09:44and i didn't know how lucky i was
09:47just walking in and being able to check in on him
09:57eric could only design as fast as she cut out of you
10:00this is a process this happens in fashion
10:03it's the fashion business katie
10:05and you don't make a penny until you have a collection to sell
10:08you have a collection
10:09when you've barely started and eric's already pushing back the launch
10:13he's not wrong it has to be perfect
10:15your idea perfect or his
10:18he's an artist he has a vision
10:21he also has a huge chip on his shoulder
10:23i mean you see that don't you
10:25this is also about uh putting sunny boy in his place
10:31eric understands what the stakes are
10:33and we are going to give him the respect that he deserves
10:39okay
10:41we support you
10:43your leadership and of course this dream
10:47but we also have to be realistic
10:50and best estimates are it'll take three seasons before we even break even
10:55and that's and that's fine
10:57i know you can do this
11:00but you can't swing if you don't have the bat in your hand
11:04if eric launches and leaves
11:06if he bails on you
11:08this whole project can go down the tubes
11:10all right i get it
11:11you don't have to explain it to me
11:14but can we just take it
11:15take it a little easy
11:17okay like let's not push eric too hard
11:21we have to katie
11:22look he's a genius great
11:24but those high standards don't mean a thing
11:27until that collection hits the runway
11:31we have to push eric to make that happen
11:34asap
11:46here you go
11:47thank you
11:50don't thank me yet
11:52i'll be fine
11:53really
11:56is that your expert medical opinion
12:00because your doctor doesn't share it
12:03excuse me
12:06i just saw ridge and brooke and
12:10apparently ridge had a physical with the doctor that you share and uh
12:14he's concerned about your stress level
12:17whatever happened to doctor patient confidentiality
12:21no no no stop
12:21don't do that
12:22that that that is not what this is about
12:24everyone is just looking out for you
12:26oh everybody's monitoring the situation
12:28stop it
12:29will you take this seriously please
12:31i do of course i do
12:35i just walked in on you
12:37arguing with bill
12:39because he doesn't know anything about the fashion business that's why
12:44i bit off more than i can chew i gotta tell you
12:47you know
12:49this collection has to hit
12:53to secure your reputation or logan's
12:56i wanted to do something special
12:58you know i
12:59i still do want to do something special
13:02i want to show that age doesn't matter
13:03that talent doesn't fade
13:07but these
13:09these gals i saw today were not special
13:12they weren't what forester originals or what
13:16no not nearly
13:19so what's the answer here
13:21what are you gonna what are you gonna work harder
13:24what are you gonna spend more hours at work
13:28i mean come on eric you gotta think about this
13:31can you continue to work with my sister and bill
13:43look i'm not trying to be a jerk
13:45i don't want to run the old guy into the ground
13:47the two of you are very much alike
13:49i mean let's be honest
13:50you expect a lot of things from the people around you from yourself as well
13:55my high standards don't ever ignore the bottom line ever
13:58neither do mine
14:00eric has to come through
14:02not get caught up in minutia
14:05the minutia is what makes a great collection
14:11i trust your judgment
14:12i just don't want you to get bogged down from the start
14:16i'm not going to
14:17i'm all in
14:19this is my reputation on the line
14:22okay but this is also eric
14:25all right he's not just my lead designer
14:27he's he's family
14:28i care about him
14:31so you think i'm being too harsh
14:33i think that i love your passion
14:35and your energy
14:37but we have to be careful
14:39we don't want to push him too hard
14:41i'm concerned about him
14:43listen we're all under a lot of stress
14:46i mean think about what he's having to deal with
14:49he's thinking about his legacy too
14:52and he doesn't have the support here that he had it for
14:55so he doesn't have a design team
14:56and and this is exciting it's a startup but it's also a lot of work
15:01and he's keeping the secret
15:04but i'm just not sure that
15:07keeping the secret from his family
15:09is good for him
15:12what dad left for us so i i assumed it would still see him
15:17well i guess he's adjusting to retirement
15:20i call him i text him and we try to make plans and he's
15:25always too busy and never the right time
15:28i know you miss him
15:30of course i miss him i told him that
15:32i'm sure he misses you too
15:35you both will find time to get together
15:38yeah
15:39some of the best moments were right here with this guy
15:44the only reason i'm here is because of him
15:46it's the reason i'm sitting here
15:48you know cool is to have somebody believe in you that much
15:52to believe in you that deeply
15:54it's
15:54it's rare
15:58eric forrester's name is admired and respected in this fashion industry
16:03he's achieved so much
16:05there's nothing more for him to really accomplish
16:08well there's one more thing to accomplish
16:10he has to prove to me
16:11that he can be retired
16:15and what is he doing
16:16why is he under stress right now
16:22working with katie it was my idea i i volunteered
16:24i know
16:25yeah well
16:26and you were so excited
16:29i mean you embraced it
16:31to be the lead designer
16:35but i can see the toll that it's taking on you
16:38no no no i'm just
16:39i'm just frustrated that's all
16:41no eric
