00:01it makes sense hope you and hope for the future are being sidelined over at forrester they're
00:08basically telling you listen you need to take a back seat so that we can focus on eric and
00:13couture and so you're just waiting in the wings indefinitely which i know is creatively and
00:18professionally frustrating not that steffi and ridge care because you're not a forester
00:24and you know the rules foresters come first period no matter what but if
00:33if you started your own line at logan you would have everyone's not only support
00:39enthusiastic support and finally you would come first
00:45what do you think i'll tell you what i think genius idea for my son i hope to spencer huge
00:54bonus
00:54and more importantly you're already well known and highly respected in the fashion world with name
01:00and brand recognition not to mention everybody adores you especially your husband
01:06star fresh find some much needed happiness and respect at logan
01:23oh what a day yeah i know it's gonna be rough for my dad i just didn't know it's gonna
01:29be that
01:29rough for you i'm sorry yeah well i probably shouldn't have gone to spencer and confronted
01:34katie like that i was just too upset for eric and for you
01:40no i still think this slogan fashion house gonna crash and burn
01:45katie doesn't think so she still thinks she'll be able to compete
01:51i'm afraid my little sister's becoming somebody that i don't even recognize anymore
02:05i can't decide actually overlay might be a bit too much for my latest fragrance
02:13what hold on back up you're telling me that daphne rose the most famous nose
02:18in the world is doubting herself just tell me what you think and be honest
02:26intoxicating really the scent and the woman
02:30most you will tend to consume a charmer just speaking the truth i'm intoxicated
02:37by you well good thing because i'm your wife
02:41trust me beautiful that is something i'll never forget or take for granted
02:58oh sorry i thought you'd gone home for the night
03:01but this package came for you i was just gonna leave it on your desk so you could have it

03:05thing in the morning i think it's from one of your gem suppliers
03:09so i could just put it here unless

04:25i'm always gonna get over it
04:27yeah i know
04:29meanwhile this rift between me and katie just seems to be getting bigger and bigger
04:33i'm sorry

04:36she doesn't want to see her sisters at war right
04:38i don't either
04:40but i'm afraid it's too late
04:48i think your wife's in shock
04:52mine too
04:53yeah because what liam is proposing
04:56is the answer
04:58to all of our problems
05:00yours and hopes
05:01what you're suggesting
05:04it would complicate things
05:05it would
05:06it is more complicated than what i'm saying
05:09but
05:10of course it is
05:12and i don't hear you saying no
05:15you bring all your creativity where it will actually be appreciated you work with people who
05:20who actually respect you and value you
05:23which we do

05:30couldn't she
05:33yes
05:34yes of course i
05:36and i would love to work with you
05:38i really would
05:41your mother
05:43i mean she would be even more upset and
05:47that's kind of the last thing i want right now
06:00i am sorry again for overstaying my welcome at will's
06:03i knew you were upset and you stayed anyway
06:07i didn't have anywhere else to go
06:10except back to my car and
06:12the thought of living like that again and how scary it was
06:16but still
06:18i should have respected your wishes and left anyway
06:21will wouldn't have let that happen
06:24he was very protective of you
06:29protective
06:30yes
06:32but he loved
06:36he loves you
06:39anyway look i know that it's still awkward for you
06:42knowing that i'm working here now
06:44but i've been trying really hard to stay out of your way
06:46and will and rj's too
06:48having this job means everything to me
06:52it's given me a steady paycheck
06:53it means to get my own apartment
06:56it's made all the difference
06:58i'm glad
07:00you are
07:02i'm also glad you finally did the right thing
07:05you moved out of wills
07:11as much as we both want a child
07:13i'm trying not to put too many expectations on this pregnancy test
07:18i don't want you to be disappointed again
07:20hey
07:20hey i was never disappointed all right
07:24we're in this together okay
07:25i'm here for you 100% 24 7
07:29just have to stay positive
07:32like you said
07:33tonight could be our lucky night
07:51donna's caught in the middle
07:52she loves both of her sisters
07:54and she's fiercely protective of eric
07:56and i'm sure this is tearing her up inside
07:59seeing what he has to go through
08:00i just think katie could be a little more sensitive right
08:02see donna's side in this
08:04well the only side that katie sees is her own
08:08especially when it comes to her grievances with me
08:10going all the way back into her childhood
08:13childhood
08:14maybe she needs to talk to somebody
08:15you can get a therapist or something
08:16because this can be out of control
08:18it's coming all out war
08:19speaking of war
08:21there is another one brewing
08:25okay
08:26well i don't want to make a big deal out of it
08:29i'm sure she has her reasons
08:31she
08:31who
08:32stepping
08:34keeping hope and her line
08:36in limbo
08:38my mom would flip out if she thought it was happening again
08:40i mean first eric
08:41then me
08:42okay brooke wouldn't be happy about it
08:44it's your life hope
08:46your career
08:46yes yes and it's a career
08:48that
08:49that has flourished
08:51but wouldn't it be
08:52so much more gratifying
08:53and so much more refreshing
08:55to work with the wind at your back
08:57with people that you're not
08:58constantly having to battle
09:00just to turn your vision into a reality
09:03it's a great opportunity hope

15:12yes you have grown and blossomed at forrester
15:16and it's gotten you ready for something more
15:20logan will present you with all kinds of new and exciting challenges

15:43doesn't it
15:45when you spearhead something new you build your own team
15:49anything
15:51you want
15:52you'll have it
15:54no more waiting for handouts
15:56and no more
15:58bowing and begging princess stephi
16:02logan is crushing it
16:04i mean we killed it
16:05right out of the gate
16:06we have more orders than we know what to do with
16:08the same thing will happen for you
16:11when you create your line
16:12and listen this doesn't have to happen overnight
16:15you take your time you ease into it
16:16no i understand that
16:18it's just
16:19my mother
16:21she's such a huge part of forrester creations
16:23and
16:24i mean
16:25so am i
16:27do you think that
16:28they see you
16:29that way
16:32because
16:32your line just
16:33keeps getting pushed to the side
16:35and you're gonna spend the rest of your life
16:39colliding
16:40with stephi and ridge
16:41i am
16:42sick of that part but
16:44the fallout
16:45would be
16:46it would be explosive
16:47exactly
16:48if she accused you of stealing the
16:50logan name and now they're saying that
16:51you took advantage of eric
16:53that you stole
16:53his designs
16:54oh for god's sake
16:54if i said it once i said it a thousand times
16:57eric came to us
16:58asked to be our lead designer
17:00we paid him very handsomely for those designs
17:02we own them
17:03and more importantly hope
17:07your mom knows this
17:08and i'm sorry but she's being petty
17:11and there is plenty of space
17:14in brooke's mind
17:15and her heart
17:16for her sister's success
17:21have we
17:24convinced you
17:25convinced you
17:29again i'm
17:31i'm not a designer
17:33yeah so
17:36you had designers
17:37at forester
17:38you'll have them here
17:39the best that money can buy
17:42you're not
17:43happy there
17:45at forester
17:46you're not
17:47and this is the solution
17:50this could be a whole new beginning
17:53for you
17:54absolutely
17:56still it's not my decision
17:59it's not liam's decision
18:02it's up to you and katie
18:06if i left forester creations
18:10and came to logan
18:14brooke would kill me
