00:02I made a mistake.
00:04Please forgive me.
00:06Forgiving doesn't undo everything.
00:10To be fair, I did what I did because I was worried about you.
00:12I don't need you to worry about me.
00:14I need your respect.
00:16You have my respect.
00:17You've always had my respect.
00:18I didn't have your respect.
00:19You retired me.
00:22I founded this company.
00:24I founded Forrester Creation.
00:25I know that.
00:26I'm Eric Forrester.
00:27I created all of this out of whole cloth, out of nothing.
00:31I created you.
00:32I'm the man who did that.
00:35You have no right to make me feel any less.
00:39You can't honestly believe that I would put Eric's health in jeopardy.
00:45I believe that you turned a blind eye because of your need to step out of my shadow.
00:51You didn't care what happened to Eric.
00:54Eric, all you cared about was Logan flourishing.
01:00I think that's the meanest thing you've ever said to me.
01:03Whatever you thought this was, whatever you were trying to make happen, it's over, Katie.
01:16Come on, everything that Ivy saw, it was all a misunderstanding.
01:20Will.
01:20We cannot let this come between us, okay?
01:24I love you.
01:25I love you.
01:26You know that I love you.
01:27I can't even stand being apart from you.
01:29I miss you.
01:30I feel the same way.
01:33But I cannot be at that house if Dylan is still living with you.
01:51Can we please just forget about Dylan and focus on the two of us?
01:55How am I supposed to feel comfortable with her still living at your house?
01:58After what my Aunt Ivy saw.
02:00What do you want me to do?
02:01Do you want me to just kick her out?
02:03Back to the streets?
02:04Back to her car?
02:05Is that what you want for your friends?
02:07She must have other friends, Will.
02:09She is not only your responsibility.
02:12And I can't be there if she keeps living there.
02:16No, look, this is your choice.
02:20Dylan or me, your girlfriend.
02:24And I understand you want to be a good person.
02:26I respect that.
02:28But we need to prioritize us.
02:31Us.
02:32Not some girl living at your house.
02:35Dylan cannot keep living there.
02:39You are my boyfriend.
02:42And you need to make a choice.
02:45Dylan or me.
03:04Who treat Eric like he's some kind of child, like he can't make his own choices, his own decisions?
03:10He came to me because he needed to create.
03:12Because designing keeps him alive.
03:15And why did he have to come to me?
03:17Why couldn't he come to Ridge or to you?
03:19Because you discarded him.
03:21You made him feel like he didn't matter anymore.
03:23Oh, God.
03:24That is ridiculous.
03:25Really?
03:27A surprise retirement party, huh?
03:30Surprise.
03:31You're retired.
03:33You know this thing that you've done your entire life?
03:36You poured your heart and your soul into it?
03:38We don't need you to do that anymore.
03:40He wanted to join my company because he knew that I wanted him.
03:46And Ridge and you, you didn't.
03:49You dismissed him.
03:51You didn't value him, Brooke.
03:54But I do.
03:57He wanted to come work for Logan because I believe in him.
04:13I made mistakes.
04:16Mishandled things.
04:19What am I supposed to do?
04:20Just stand there and watch you die?
04:23I tried that once in the hospital.
04:24I didn't like it.
04:30I'm going to live my life, Ridge.
04:31You have to let me live my life.
04:33That's what I'm trying to do, Dad.
04:34That's exactly what I'm trying to do.
04:37And you've lived your life.
04:40You worked every day.
04:41You sacrificed.
04:42I just, I wanted you, I wanted you to enjoy your legacy.
04:46I want you around as long as possible.
04:49For me, for my kids, for the family.
04:53I, I want you to be there for it.
04:55For birthdays and soccer games.
04:59All of it.
05:03What?
05:06You hurt me, Ridge.
05:09You hurt me.
05:26Feels like a dream.
05:29When I see you, touch you.
05:35My dream we don't have to wake up from.
05:39I don't know how we're supposed to get any shit done.
05:44Sorry, guys.
05:45I didn't think anyone was in here.
05:46I'll go.
05:46Hey, hey, you okay?
05:48Yeah.
05:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:49Fine.
05:49You don't seem fine.
05:50What's going on?
05:52Nothing, man.
05:53You guys take care.
05:54Something happened.
05:55What happened?
05:57Electra.
05:58Yeah, she's what happened.
06:08Hey.
06:09I'm sorry.
06:10I thought I locked it.
06:12You don't have to hide from me.
06:14What happened?
06:16I saw Will.
06:18I thought the time apart would change his mind.
06:21I hoped it would.
06:23So Dylan's still living in the house.
06:26Yeah.
06:27Then I refuse to be there while she's there.
06:29And I know.
06:30I'm being terrible.
06:31She has nowhere else to go.
06:33No, you are not terrible.
06:34You're setting boundaries.
06:35That deserves to be applauded.
06:37I'm proud of you.
06:39Dylan crossed the line.
06:40She's the one who abused the friendship.
06:43Is there a reason for you to trust her alone with Will?
06:45And he should respect your feelings.
06:49I miss him.
06:51So much.
06:52I know you do.
06:54I need to get through to him.
07:00I'm going to write him a letter.
07:08So this is your angle.
07:10A poor Eric wasn't respected story.
07:15It's not a story.
07:18Brooke, he was right.
07:19Here.
07:20Weren't you listening?
07:22That's how he feels you and Rich treated him.
07:25This isn't even about Eric.
07:28This is about my baby sister
07:30wanting to carve out a name for herself
07:32in the fashion industry
07:33and wanting to prove so badly
07:35that she doesn't need my hand
07:37to hold to do it.
07:39Your ego is stunning.
07:43And the way you can make everything about you.
07:45You know, sometimes it's not about you, Brooke.
07:47Sometimes.
07:48This is also about me creating my own legacy.
07:52But you didn't do it on your own, did you?
07:55Bill funded it.
07:57My name pushed it.
07:59And yes, I say my name
08:01because anybody of importance
08:02doesn't know who you are outside of PR.
08:04And then, of course,
08:07you used Eric
08:08to create some kind of wannabe Forrester line.
08:13So, yeah.
08:15Actually, I applaud you.
08:18I am so proud of you
08:21for stepping out on your own.
08:25So original.
08:31I hurt you.
08:33I know.
08:35And I've been trying to apologize for that.
08:37I tried to bring you back to Forrester.
08:39Yeah.
08:40You know how that felt?
08:42If I got it like a knife in the back,
08:43it felt like a knife in the back
08:45from my own son.
08:46I was trying to protect you.
08:47Yeah, well, I don't need that, Ridge.
08:49I can take care of myself.
08:50I get to decide what I do in my own life.
08:53Dad, we almost lost you.
08:54Yeah, yeah, you couldn't help that.
08:55You can't fix that.
08:57You don't get to decide when you lose me.
08:59Not then, not now.
09:00Okay, I can't fix that.
09:01Great.
09:03Why would you go to Spencer?
09:05Because I wanted to work.
09:06I need to work, Ridge.
09:09I don't regret going to Spencer.
09:11Not one bit.
09:20Electra and I have kind of hit this rough patch.
09:24I'm sorry, man.
09:26You guys have been through so much.
09:28You'll be okay.
09:30I know how much Electra cares about you,
09:32and she loves you.
09:35Are you writing Will a letter?
09:38Yeah.
09:39It's more personal than a text.
09:41He just needs to understate.
09:43I mean, what's the point?
09:44You've been...
09:45You've been very clear.
09:47You've been very patient.
09:49Yeah, but every time we talk,
09:50it's like we can't even hear each other.
09:53Like, the words just don't come out right.
09:55Listen, Dylan is the one who is inappropriate,
09:59and Will is the one who allows her
10:00to continue living in the house with him.
10:02I mean, what is left to say?
10:03Everything.
10:05If Will really understood how I felt,
10:07he would not let Dylan live at the house.
10:09Well, what if he does?
10:11What if he does understand,
10:12and he still wants her there with him?
10:17Let's just presume Will's innocence, okay?
10:20I mean, God, is he humble enough
10:23to admit that he is wrong?
10:25Because right now, everything he's doing,
10:28he thinks he's right.
10:29Which means he's putting your feelings second.
10:32I am sick of seeing Will put you second,
10:34especially after everything that happened with Luna.
10:36Okay, none of that was his fault.
10:38No, but you still have to suffer through it.
10:41It is detestable that she is still living in that house.
10:44I know.
10:45I hate it, too.
10:46But Will and I want to make this right.
10:50And we will.
11:02Did you ever stop to think that maybe
11:04Eric's stress levels went up
11:05because of the way you and Ridge were treating him?
11:08I mean, getting kicked out of your own company
11:10has got to be pretty stressful, right?
11:13Ridge and I would have seen the warning signs.
11:18Unlike you and Bill.
11:19I mean, Bill's arrogance makes him blind.
11:23Like your desperation to prove yourself.
11:26Eric's upstairs right now because of you.
11:31It wasn't so much going to help over at Spencer.
11:34It wasn't that at all.
11:36I just got caught up in the idea.
11:37The idea of what?
11:38Creating a line for Katie?
11:39No, the idea of being needed and wanted.
11:42Something I didn't feel anymore from you.
11:44I know why you didn't feel that.
11:45I was always worried about you.
11:46And not because you're a child,
11:48but because you're my father.
11:49And your father that wasn't ready to leave his company.
11:52You know what that felt like?
11:54I was blindsided by that.
11:56It knocked me up.
12:01I was embarrassed.
12:02Can you sit down, please?
12:04I'm not going to sit down, Ridge.
12:06I'm going to stand up.
12:06I'm going to stand up here for every old person
12:09that's ever treated the way you treated me.
12:11Okay, then Stan.
12:12You know what I dream about what my nightmare is?
12:16I walk into the office and you're on your desk and you're dead.
12:22That's my fear.
12:29You know what my fear is?
12:34My fear is living with no purpose.
12:38That's my fear.
12:40Then come to Forrester and work with me.
12:43We'll do this together like we used to in the old days.
12:47And I'll protect you.
12:48I'll make sure you don't work too hard.
12:51Can we do that?
12:58She just doesn't listen.
12:59You know, I'm here and she's...
13:01I can't...
13:02I can't get into this right now.
13:04Okay, you guys are going through a rough spot.
13:07It sucks, but it happens.
13:08Like Daphne said, you both love each other.
13:10So don't let anyone or anything come between you.
13:14I can't get into this right now.
13:15I can't get into this right now.
13:19I can't get into this right now.
13:32There.
13:33Wow.
13:34How do you feel?
13:35I'll feel relieved once Will reads this and asks Dylan to leave.
13:41And you think this letter will do it?
13:44I hope so.
13:46I love him.
13:48What we have is worth fighting for.
13:51Then why does it feel like you're the only one fighting for it?
13:54I'm not.
13:56Will wants us back together just as much as I do.
13:59Just not with her in the house?
14:02We will work through it.
14:04Trust me.
14:06In the letter, I ask him to meet me in the showroom so we can talk about it.
14:10He'll come in here before his meeting and read it.
14:14Thank you for always looking out for me.
14:17Always.
14:19Always.
14:21Thank you for always looking out for me.
14:57Okay, okay, given the way things went down today, I will admit that maybe, maybe I missed
15:09the signs that the stress was too much for him.
15:14Maybe I did. And if I hurt him, then I will regret that for the rest of my life.
15:21What about you? Any regrets? Do you feel any guilt for any of this? A man that, that we both
15:33love.
15:34Disrespect. Total disrespect. You need to be listened to. You get it?
15:42Yeah, and I agree with you. Okay, good. Then get out of my way. Let me do my work. Let
15:47me do my work my way. Oh, God. No, you don't have to protect me. I'm your dad.
15:59But if I die at my desk, I die at my desk, all right? But you have to let me
16:03do my work.
16:08Yeah? Yeah. Promise me. Please. No.
16:42Yeah. Come at home.
16:50Electra and I have kind of hit this rough patch.
16:54I'm sorry, man. You guys have been through so much.
16:58You'll be okay. I know how much Electra cares about you, and she loves you.
17:06Are you writing Will a letter?
17:08Yeah. It's more personal than a text. He just needs to understand.
17:13I mean, what's the point? You've been, you've been very clear. You've been very patient.
17:19Yeah, but every time we talk, it's like we can't even hear each other. Like, the words just don't come
17:24out right.
17:25Okay. Listen, Dylan is the one who is inappropriate, and Will is the one who allows her to continue living
17:31in the house with him. I mean, what is left to say?
17:33Everything. If Will really understood how I felt, he would not let Dylan live at the house.
17:39Well, what if he does? What if he does understand, and he still wants her there with him?
17:47Let's just presume Will's innocence, okay? I mean, God, is he humble enough to admit that he is wrong?
17:55Because right now, everything he's doing, he thinks he's right, which means he's putting your feelings second.
18:02I am sick of seeing Will put you second, especially after everything that happened with Luna.
18:06Okay, none of that was his fault.
18:08No, but you still had to suffer through it.
18:11It is detestable that she is still living in that house.
18:14I know. I hate it, too. But Will and I want to make this right. And we will.
18:32Did you ever stop to think that maybe Eric...
