00:26Have you seen this?
00:28The new online edition of Eye on Fashion, the in-depth interview that Katie did, going on and on about
00:38who this mystery designer is, who could it possibly be?
00:42I don't know, seems like a big PR stunt to me, just to drum up some interest in the new
00:48company Logan. What do you think?
00:52I think this is probably your sister's idea, and that's a good one. I got some hype for the company.
00:58The problem is going to be when this new mystery designer can't live up to the hype.
01:01Hmm, you mean when she finally tells everybody who it actually is?
01:05Yep, everyone's going to find out, and no one's going to care. I'm really not worried about it. You know
01:11what I'm worried about is my dad's stress levels. Where's that coming from?
01:15I don't know. I'm worried about that, too. And obviously, so is Donna.
01:19Well, we gotta find out. Where's this pressure coming from?
01:21I don't know.
01:25I don't know.
01:26I don't know.
01:56I have an idea.
01:58A brilliant one, if I may say so myself.
02:02Yeah, yeah.
02:03It's a beautiful day outside.
02:05I thought maybe I would slip on my new bikini.
02:09We can head down by the pool.
02:12I'll make something healthy, like kale chips and avocado deviled eggs.
02:19Does that sound good?
02:21Yeah, yeah.
02:23Sure.
02:26Have you heard a word I said?
02:29Yeah, something about a bikini and avocado toast or chips or something.
02:37Dip.
02:37What?
02:38Eric, Eric, honey.
02:41I'm trying to get you to take a break.
02:42No, I can't, I can't.
02:43I'm under a lot of pressure here.
02:45I've got to get this thing finished.
02:46Stop, you are putting way too much pressure on yourself.
02:50I made a commitment.
02:51I made a commitment to your sister.
02:53Yeah.
02:54But if Katie knew what I know, I've seen the physical effects.
02:58You were short of breath.
03:01You have the whole weight of this, this collection on your shoulders.
03:07You're going to have to tell Katie that you, you can't go through with this line.
03:18Forget it, Enrique.
03:19You're not going to pin me down.
03:21The launch will happen.
03:22When it happens, not a moment sooner.
03:25All right.
03:26Talk to you later.
03:29Excitement's building.
03:31Just wish I could be confident that Eric was going to come through.
03:35He will come through.
03:37He wants this line to be the best ever.
03:39Yeah, well, me too.
03:41That little outburst earlier over some silk.
03:44He's used to working with the finest materials.
03:47That's all well and good, Katie.
03:50But to deliver that material, it was about 10 months out.
03:53We don't have that kind of time.
03:54And on top of that, you know, it just so happens it was five times more expensive.
04:00But that's neither here nor there.
04:02Okay?
04:03Regardless, we have got to light a fire under Eric.
04:07He hated the designs when we saw him on the model.
04:09So if he scraps them, if he starts over, that just increases the chances that somebody's going to find out
04:16that Eric is your lead designer.
04:18I'm sure Brick will have something to say about that.
04:22But if she lashes out at me, I can handle it.
04:25What I can't handle is something happening to Eric.
04:35I'm sure Brick will have something to say about Eric.
04:37I'm sure Brick will have something to say about Eric.
04:39I'm sure Brick will have something to say about Eric.
04:44I'm sure Brick will have something to say about Eric.
04:45I'm sure Brick will have something to say about Eric.
04:48I'm sure Brick will have something to say about Eric.
04:50I'm sure Brick will have something to say about Eric.
04:51I'm sure Brick will have something to say about Eric.
04:51I'm sure Brick will have something to say about Eric.
04:52I'm sure Brick will have something to say about Eric.
04:52I'm sure Brick will have something to say about Eric.
04:54I'm sure Brick will have something to say about Eric.
04:57I'm sure Brick will have something to say about Eric.
05:22Eric confides everything in Donna.
05:24I'm surprised that she doesn't know what was causing his stress.
05:29Well, maybe it was like what you said.
05:32He's just keeping it all to himself because he doesn't want to hurt the people that he loves so much.
05:37Didn't really work out last time, did it?
05:39No.
05:41So did you get the sense that the doctor maybe thought it was more than stress?
05:46Doctor really didn't say much.
05:49Well, there's got to be a way to find out what's really going on with Eric.
05:53I like Eric, I appreciate his talent, and I'm glad he landed at Logan.
05:59If for no other reason to see the dressmaker's head explode when he finds out.
06:04Well, it's certainly not going to be pretty.
06:07Ridge and Brooke are going to come down on us hard.
06:09No, whatever.
06:10We'll give as good as we'll get, and so will Eric.
06:14In the meantime, I need Eric to get his act together.
06:18No more delays, no more complaints about materials.
06:21Just get the line out, and get it out now.
06:25Eric, come on.
06:27If designing this collection is causing you this much stress and...
06:31You know, I just have to push through, that's all.
06:35Even if it's not what you want anymore, come on.
06:37I asked you earlier if you were happy, and you danced around the subject, Eric.
06:42But then finally you admitted that you'd rather be home.
06:46In the office with Ridge and your grandkids.
06:50Now, if that doesn't tell me everything, I don't know what does.
06:56Yeah, you're right.
06:59I am having second thoughts.
07:03I thought it was a great idea at first to go over and help Katie and be her head designer.
07:08I thought that was great.
07:09But now, uh...
07:10Now, you think you made a terrible mistake.
07:24Eric's adjusting to a lot.
07:26He's used to how things were done at Forrester.
07:28Well, that's just it.
07:30This isn't Forrester.
07:31It's a whole new ballgame.
07:33And Eric isn't running the show.
07:35He's an employee.
07:37He's a lot more than that, and you know it.
07:41You're right.
07:42But I'm looking out for my wife.
07:46Yes, Eric is a titan in the fashion industry, and we're lucky to have him.
07:52But...
07:52But we can't coddle him, Katie.
07:54This is a business, and it has to run like one.
07:58There's a lot of money at stake.
08:00That's not all that's at stake.
08:03My relationship with my sister, and Eric's relationship with Ridge.
08:10Look at him.
08:12He carried this whole design house for decades, and pressure must have been amazing.
08:16I mean, he was what?
08:18He was here 24-7.
08:20And now, in retirement, there's no pressure.
08:25But we don't even see him at all.
08:28Yeah, what is that?
08:30He doesn't play golf, thank God.
08:33Barely plays tennis anymore, and...
08:35He and Donna, they're not traveling, so what is he up to?
08:38Why is he stressed?
08:50So, you think you made a mistake?
08:57Look, it wasn't my idea, you know, to retire.
09:00It was Ridge's idea.
09:02Yeah, yeah, a very short-sighted one, even though it was well-intentioned.
09:11He made an offer for me to come back to the office anytime I wanted to.
09:14I can go back anytime I want.
09:16But it was kind of insulting, really.
09:20It was just a permission to come back to the company that I founded.
09:25I can only imagine how much that hurt.
09:28Yeah, yeah.
09:29I was just, uh...
09:31I threw out the old man a few crumbs in his waning years.
09:35But these are not your waning years.
09:38I'm 80 years old, Donna.
09:41A very young, sexy, vibrant 80 years old.
09:46Yeah.
09:47I just didn't want to be sidelined.
09:49But that's exactly what Ridge did.
09:51He sidelined you.
09:52He did, and that's why I went to Katie.
09:55That's why I wanted to be over there.
09:56To prove that I could do something, and I still had something to offer.
10:00Yes.
10:01And you did that.
10:02Yep.
10:03You wanted to show Ridge and the world that you were relevant, and you did.
10:08Your designs are beautiful.
10:10They are, but they're compromised by Bill's obsession with the bottom line.
10:15All right, well, maybe, maybe Katie can bring him in.
10:19She cares about you.
10:21Yeah.
10:24I just don't know how this happened.
10:29You know, I'm, I'm, I'm at Logan, and my family's at Forrester, and how, how did I let it get
10:38this far?
10:38How did I, how did I let it get so far?
11:05So, anywhere from Eric yet?
11:07Oh, third text of the day, he's not responding.
11:12At least he can say that he's all right or something.
11:15You think maybe he could have his phone turned off?
11:17It's been like this for weeks.
11:19When I do see him, I see him just for a second.
11:21I need to go somewhere else.
11:23I don't know.
11:25So, what are we going to do, Bob?
11:27Well, I'm not going to stay here and wait for him to text me.
11:29I'm, uh, I'm going to go check on him.
11:33You're going to go to the house?
11:34Yeah.
11:38I know how much you value your relationship with Brooke, and I realize that it's taking a hit.
11:48Yeah, it's going to take even a bigger hit when she realizes that Eric is on our team.
11:55But I can't worry about that right now.
11:57I just, I, I don't want him to feel like we let him down.
12:00Let him down?
12:01What, by insisting that he deliver Logan's maiden launch on time?
12:09That's not an unrealistic expectation, Katie.
12:12No, I know.
12:15Bill, the fashion business is, is, is different than probably what you're used to.
12:20Business is business.
12:22Are you saying I should cut our lead designer some slack?
12:26Give in to his every whim no matter what?
12:29I'm saying that there's probably some middle ground, a way to work with Eric without putting him under so much
12:34pressure.
12:36Pressure for me?
12:38I know you're looking out for me and for your investment, but Eric isn't just my lead designer.
12:44He is a very dear friend, and I feel like I have to look out for him.
12:49Well, as you just pointed out, I am looking out for you.
12:53You're caring and you're compassionate.
12:57But Eric offered to be your lead designer.
12:59We didn't force it on him.
13:01I think you're right.
13:02That's true.
13:03I'm just trying to be sensitive to the situation.
13:06And I'm a realist, Katie.
13:09And we need that line.
13:11And we need it yesterday.
13:13And Eric can't slack off.
13:15He has got to come through.
13:29You know what, maybe we should call your doctor and just let him come and check on you.
13:37It's not necessary.
13:39I'm okay.
13:40No.
13:41No, you're not okay.
13:42This pressure from Bill is not good for you.
13:46I can handle Bill.
13:47I know you can handle Bill, Eric.
13:51But you shouldn't have to handle Bill, okay?
13:55Look, I love that you want my sister to succeed, and so do I.
13:58But my God, not at the expense of your health.
14:02Yeah.
14:03Or your relationship with Ridge.
14:07And what about Brooke and Katie?
14:09Huh?
14:10When Brooke finds out what Katie did, she is going to be livid, livid.
14:15And their relationship could be beyond repair.
14:18It's the last thing I wanted.
14:21The last thing I wanted for our families to be at loggerheads like this.
14:25One family against the other.
14:26I know how family is important to you.
14:29Yours especially.
14:32Listen, if you just...
14:34If you just back out now.
14:36Back out now.
14:37It's not too late.
14:38No.
14:39Not too...
14:39I can't.
14:40I can't.
14:41I made a...
14:44I made a commitment.
14:46I made a commitment to Katie.
14:47And I'm going to do it.
14:49I'm going to finish this collection.
15:08It's going to work out.
15:13It's not the end of the world if we delay the launch by a couple of weeks.
15:18What if a couple of weeks turns into a month?
15:21Or two months?
15:24What if Eric doesn't deliver at all?
15:26He already has.
15:28These designs are sensational.
15:30He saw them on the models and he wasn't happy.
15:34He's worried that execution isn't going to be at the same standard that he said at Forrester.
15:38No, maybe there's more to it.
15:42Maybe Eric is having some regret.
15:45So he's coming up with excuses, planning an exit strategy.
15:51An exit strategy.
15:53Eric came to Logan to help you.
15:56But he also wanted to settle a score with Ridge.
16:00And I get it.
16:01I mean, his arrogant son forced him out the door at Forrester.
16:06Treated him like an old fossil.
16:09So if I were Eric, I would want to teach Ridge a lesson too.
16:14But that's between them.
16:17I don't know if I want you caught in the middle of that case.
16:22Especially when it comes to a head between father and son.
16:26Look, you've got to stop that this can't go on.
16:31Look at you, Eric.
16:33Look at that.
16:33Okay.
16:34I'm calling you.
16:35No, no, no, no, no.
16:36Stop, stop.
16:37No, I'm fine.
16:38You are not fine.
16:39You're not fine.
16:41My God, you're not fine.
16:42Look at you.
16:44You're stressed out.
16:45You're shorter breath.
16:49I can't, I can't, I can't lose you, Eric.
16:54You're not going to lose me.
16:55Stop it.
16:57Stop it.
16:59You're not going to lose me.
17:02I promise you.
17:08Let me sit down.
17:14You're right.
17:17You're right.
17:17I never envisioned, I never envisioned my life like this.
17:24Being a separator from my family and, and from the company I founded.
17:33I'm still pissed off and rich.
17:39I'm so angry at him for pushing me out of that company when he did.
17:46But I'm here, and I'm here with you.
17:50I'm still there, of course.
17:53I founded that company.
17:56I know.
17:57And I still have a lot to give.
17:58Stop.
17:59Stop.
18:01Stop.
18:03I know, dude.
18:05I know you did.
18:09I've heard, Eric, you were taking on too much.
18:15I'm scared for you, okay?
18:18I'm scared for you.
18:20It's okay.
18:21I'm going to be okay.
18:22I'm going to be okay.
18:24You'll see.
18:25Yeah.
18:35Oh, Dad, you're home.
18:36Good.
18:45Ridge, what are you doing here?
18:49I came to check on you, because your doctor said you wanted to stress, and I'm not sure
18:53why, because you're retired.
18:57But now we walk in here, we see this, and we see all that.
19:07So what's going on?
