00:04Dad, what's with all these designs?
00:09Well, I've been designing, I've been sketching, that's what it is.
00:14Sketching non-stop from the look of things.
00:17You practically have an entire line there.
00:20An exquisite one, too.
00:23Yeah, well, what can I say?
00:25Since my retirement, I've got a little time on my hands.
00:30I've been very productive.
00:31Yeah, but to what end?
00:34What is all this?
00:36Something else happening here?
00:43I'm not trying to stress you out.
00:45You know that, right?
00:46I do. I know.
00:48And I know that we have deadlines to meet and budgets to stick to, and we will.
00:53Well, I just don't want to push Eric too hard.
00:57I hear you.
00:58I'm not insensitive to that.
01:01But this isn't Eric's first rodeo.
01:04He knows what he signed up for.
01:06And we need him to see this collection through.
01:31Hey.
01:32Hey.
01:33Hey.
01:33What, uh, what brings you here?
01:37Oh, well, I came to see my Aunt Katie, but I'll settle for my very, very handsome husband.
01:44That's my husband.
01:50You okay?
01:53What's wrong?
01:56You okay?
02:07You okay?
03:10Talk to her, though.
03:13About what?
03:15Oh, the growing rift between her and my mother.
03:20I don't think we have to worry about the line.
03:23Eric will get it done.
03:25Eventually on his timeline?
03:27No, Katie.
03:28Eric has to remember that he is not a forester anymore.
03:31He has to work on our schedule.
03:34He has to deal with the materials that are logistically available.
03:38He can't have some kind of tantrum if the silk isn't exactly what he wants.
03:42All right.
03:42I think that he's going to have to feel proud about what he puts out and that he has to
03:47have high standards for what we do.
03:50Our line has got to be amazing.
03:53It's got to kill it.
03:54But I could see how worked up he was getting earlier, and I just don't want his health to suffer
03:59because of me and my company.
04:02Okay, look, he's just got to do a few more designs.
04:05I'm going to ask him to run a marathon or do heavy labor.
04:08He just has to take a pencil and put it on the sketch of hand, Katie.
04:12He's doodling out a few designs.
04:16His health is going to be just fine.
04:26Wow.
04:26You spent a lot of time on these, didn't you?
04:30A beauty.
04:31The attention to detail.
04:33These could be forester originals.
04:36Could be.
04:37They are.
04:38So what are you doing?
04:39You just sit in your drawing and then they pile up on your coffee table?
04:43I'm a designer.
04:43You know that.
04:44It's in my blood.
04:45That's what I do to the day I die.
04:48You, of all people, should understand that.
04:49I do understand it.
04:50So?
04:51I also understand that these things shouldn't live in a vacuum.
04:56Let's do this.
04:57Let's take him to forester.
04:58Make him part of the couture line.
05:01What do you say?
05:18When I think of everything Aunt Katie and my mom have been through over the years, I refuse to believe
05:25that this fashion house could ultimately be what tears them apart.
05:30Well, hopefully it won't.
05:31Yeah.
05:33I want Aunt Katie to succeed.
05:35But it is extremely challenging for the first year of a fashion house.
05:40I mean, that is unless she has, like, some big star named designer and...
05:48Liam?
05:49Huh?
05:50Something wrong?
05:51Um, no.
05:54I hope not.
05:55But do you think there could be something?
05:57Is it her fashion house?
06:00Because you know you can tell me.
06:01Okay, this is one of those where we will talk about this eventually.
06:06I just can't right now because I promised my dad.
06:11So...
06:11Yeah, and you can't talk about it because you promised him.
06:17Are these the...
06:21Oh, my God.
06:24Oh, these are gorgeous.
06:28It's Katie's mystery designer.
06:30Mm-hmm.
06:36I admire that about you.
06:38How much you care.
06:41I know how worried you are about Eric.
06:43I can't help it.
06:45I mean, I love him.
06:48He's been such an important part of my life.
06:51And when he came to me and offered to be my lead designer, it was like a dream to be
06:55able to work with him, learn from him.
06:57But I don't want this to compromise his health.
07:04He's such a good, decent man.
07:07And he has been amazing to me and my family over the years.
07:13Well, we have been pretty amazing to him.
07:17As you just pointed out, he came to you and offered to be your lead designer after his own son
07:23kicked him to the curb.
07:28He made a promise, Katie.
07:31He committed to putting out your first line.
07:34And he has to see that through.
07:36The last thing we want to do is have him take his foot off the gas and back out.
07:40Okay.
07:41All right.
07:42I understand that.
07:42You're right.
07:43And I appreciate that you are supporting me.
07:46I just don't want to push Eric too hard.
07:50You know, I understand that we have schedules to stick to and we will stick to them.
07:55We will get this done.
07:56We will put the line out.
07:57And we will also be mindful of his health and what he's actually capable of.
08:05Okay.
08:06Okay.
08:06I will be mindful.
08:09To a point.
08:12All right.
08:12No, I don't like the way we left things.
08:15So I'm going to text Donna and just make sure that he's okay.
08:22Rich, I didn't mean for you to see these.
08:24These are mine.
08:27They're yours.
08:28Just look at it.
08:29You don't want to do anything.
08:30I didn't think you were going to see them, all right?
08:32They're not for you.
08:34All right.
08:35Take it down and it shouldn't mean to upset you.
08:37I'm not upset.
08:38Really?
08:38Because you seem a little aggravated.
08:40Is that what your doctor was talking about?
08:42He's concerned about this?
08:43Anytime you get to be my age, a doctor will always find something wrong.
08:46Will you tell me if there was something to worry about?
08:48I would tell you.
08:48Yes.
08:49If there was anything going on that you needed to know about, I would tell you.
08:52I needed to know about?
08:53What is that?
08:53Are you hiding something from you?
08:54So, Rich, stop.
08:56Stop.
08:56I know what you're thinking and that's not happening again.
08:59He's not hiding some sort of health scare.
09:02Then what's going on here?
09:03I barely see the guy.
09:04We used to bump into each other all the time.
09:06Yeah, well, that's when I used to work there.
09:09Stop it.
09:09I get it.
09:10You used to...
09:10Okay, yes.
09:11You're not there anymore.
09:12I get it.
09:13Come by.
09:14See people.
09:15They miss you.
09:15They love you.
09:16I was talking to RJ this morning.
09:18He wants to work with you.
09:19Yeah, well, okay.
09:20I appreciate that.
09:21I'll take him to lunch one of these days.
09:23That would be a great idea.
09:25But you know what would be a better idea?
09:26You take these designs and you bring them to work and show the young ones.
09:30Let them see what a master does.
09:33These are amazing.
09:35When you're over there, just...
09:37Let's make this part of couture.
09:40Come on.
09:41Let's do it.
10:00Still no response?
10:02No.
10:03Well, don't read anything into it.
10:05I'm sure Donna's just not near her phone.
10:07She's attached to this thing.
10:11I'm getting a bad feeling about this.
10:14I'm sure everything is fine, Katie.
10:16You'll get a text from Donna telling you that Eric is happily sketching over.
10:21No, I need to be sure.
10:22My instincts are telling me that something's wrong.
10:25I'm going to go over there and make sure he's okay.
10:27Okay, well, I guess I better tag along.
10:30I know.
10:31I've got to work on the compassion thing, don't I?
10:34You're good there.
10:40Okay, I take back any doubts that I might have had.
10:43I mean, with designs like these, Logan is off to a great, great start.
10:49I mean, they are sophisticated.
10:51They are stylish.
10:53And if I didn't know any better, I might say they're Forrester originals.
10:57Oh, yeah.
10:58No, that's...
10:59I'm sure that's, um...
11:02I'm sure that's exactly what Katie was...
11:04Screw it.
11:04I can't do this.
11:05I can't...
11:06Um...
11:07I've got to tell you something.
11:09It's something I've been keeping from you.
11:18You should listen to your son, Eric.
11:20He's absolutely right.
11:23Your designs are beautiful and they're timeless.
11:26And they deserve to be up on the Forrester runway.
11:29Every last one.
11:30I know.
11:31You're upset about this retirement party, aren't you?
11:37He only threw the retirement party because he wanted to put your health first.
11:43Eric just wants to do what's best for you.
11:46And what's best for you, clearly, is to keep working.
11:49A sketch pad and pencils in your hand would be prolific.
11:54Maybe not this prolific, but can we...
11:56Can we please just stop this?
11:58I get it.
12:00So come back to Forrester.
12:01Just work with me.
12:02Let's work together.
12:05I know you're upset with me.
12:07I know I disappointed you.
12:10But please, through all this, don't forget what you mean to me.
12:12You are the most important person in my life.
12:18I love you.
12:18You've taught me everything I know.
12:21And I miss you.
12:23I miss my dad.
12:25And truth be told, I miss the artist, too.
12:28I miss the magic.
12:29Look at these.
12:31Just the subtle elegance and color.
12:33The way you can just find the essence of a woman with the stroke of a brush.
12:39No one can do that.
12:41No, no, you can do it.
12:42You've always done it.
12:43You're doing it now.
12:44You're doing it in your living room.
12:46Because you are timeless.
12:49Also, a reminder to you and everyone that...
12:53Eric will always be a leader in the fashion industry.
12:57Absolutely.
12:59Yes, always.
13:01And this is my fault.
13:03I didn't express it enough.
13:04I'm sorry.
13:06You're...
13:08You're expressing it now.
13:10I mean...
13:11It means a lot to me.
13:14I'm touched.
13:15You...
13:17Everything you just said...
13:21I'm touched by.
13:23I mean every word.
13:25Not just you as a person, but you as a designer.
13:30These things, they have to come to life.
13:32We have to do...
13:33Look, you know what you need?
13:34You need silk.
13:36Not just any silk.
13:37Italian silk.
13:38North Italian silk.
13:39Como.
13:40Right?
13:41Yes, it's considered, but it's...
13:44It's hard to source.
13:46It takes a long time to source.
13:47And it's expensive.
13:48It doesn't matter.
13:49You can't put a price on excellence.
13:51Good.
13:51At least an hour I know what you were doing.
13:53I mean this...
13:53It must have been up day and night.
13:55That's why you're stressed.
13:56He really...
13:58He has been.
13:59You have been.
14:00That's another reason we gotta put these on the runway.
14:04Well, grab your stuff.
14:05Let's go to Forrester now.
14:06Let's just get it done.
14:07You and me.
14:08Come on.
14:11Rich, I...
14:14Look, I...
14:14As much as I might like to...
14:18I don't think...
14:22I've done something.
14:24Done something?
14:25What do you mean?
14:26What's wrong?
14:27Donna, I'm sorry you didn't answer my...
14:31Pugs.
14:34Spencer, what are you doing here?
14:53You have something to tell me.
14:56I...
14:57Do not like keeping things from you.
15:01Oh, is it bad?
15:05Um, depends on who you ask.
15:08Okay, remember...
15:09Remember when, um, you were asking me whether I knew who Katie's new mystery lead designer was?
15:19Yes, and you told me that you didn't know.
15:21Which was 100% true at the time.
15:25But now, in this moment, you do know.
15:29Right.
15:31Okay, well, whoever they are, they're incredibly talented.
15:35They're a legend.
15:37In your industry, they're a legend.
15:40Well, then that's...
15:40That's amazing.
15:42I'm, I'm really happy for Katie that she was able to land someone of this caliber.
15:49I...
15:49Is it anyone I know?
15:52A bit.
15:54Yeah.
15:57This has been killing me, not telling you.
16:00I haven't because my dad swore me to secrecy.
16:05It's like a business thing.
16:06No, I understand.
16:07I work for a different fashion house.
16:09And still, though, a lie by omission becomes pretty heavy to carry.
16:15Yeah, well, that's, that's why I'm not going to keep, uh, lying to you about this.
16:23I'm going to tell you, okay?
16:25I'm going to tell you who the hire was.
16:28Uh, and the reason I'm going to tell you is because this person is such a big deal that
16:34when this news comes out, it is going to be the biggest story in the fashion industry
16:39for a very, very long time.
16:42You understand?
16:43Yes, so they are, they are that acclaimed.
16:47They are Eric Forrester.
16:54Bill?
16:54Katie?
16:55What, what are you, uh...
16:56You just waltz in my dad's house?
16:57You don't knock?
16:58What is that?
16:58Oh, I apologize for not knocking, but you know what?
17:00It is my sister's house, too, now.
17:03So we, uh, we, uh, just stopped by to check in on Donna and check in on, on Eric.
17:11Check in on?
17:12Yeah.
17:13Yeah, you know.
17:15Poor guy.
17:16I want to see how he's doing since you put him out to pasture.
17:20Oh, Billy.
17:21Once again, you don't know what you're talking about.
17:24Really?
17:24Are you sure about that?
17:26We didn't hear through the, through the grapevine that there was some forced retirement party.
17:32Turns out greatness doesn't retire.
18:02That's right.
18:04She would never be able to find that kind of brilliance line after line.
18:09Okay, I'm, I'm going to stop this.
18:11I can't take it anymore.
18:13Can't take what?
18:14Katie?
18:14I have made my decision.
18:16Eric, I'm doing this for you because I care about you and I love you and I respect you.
18:20And I know that you are under a lot of stress and we're going to fix that.
18:23And maybe this will be freeing.
18:25Maybe we need to let everyone know.
18:28Everyone know what?
18:29What are you talking about?
18:30You are one of the best men that I know.
18:32You are an amazing mentor to so many people, myself included.
18:36You have had a huge impact on the Logans for decades.
18:40You are my confidant.
18:42You are my friend.
18:44And anyone should be honored to work with you.
18:47And so when the opportunity presented itself, you want to know who my designer is?
18:53You're looking at him.
18:55Eric is the lead designer for Logan.
19:02Is this true?
19:04Are you working for Katie and Spencer?
