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