00:09On a second thought, I will actually...
00:11Wait, are you leaving because I'm here?
00:15No, no, no. It's nothing personal. I just need a quiet place to work.
00:19Okay, well, regardless, it's good that you're here because I, um...
00:23I actually, I want to speak to you.
00:26About what?
00:28My line.
00:30Hope for the future.
00:36No, no, this worked out perfect.
00:38Nice.
00:39Thanks.
00:41Kelly brought her soccer bag over from your place by mistake.
00:44Yeah.
00:44I'm guessing cleats won't do very well in her dance class.
00:47No, no, it'd be kind of fun to see her try, though, right?
00:51Yeah.
00:51Hey, uh, can I talk to you for a second?
00:54Yeah, sure. Um, uh, what's, uh, what's up?
00:58I wanted to talk to you about Hope and Steffi, um, and how the latter is being treated over at
01:04Forrester.
01:17Oh, hey, mom.
01:19Hey.
01:20You brought me some groceries?
01:21I did, yeah.
01:23Well, as much as I appreciate that, you don't need to do it.
01:25Well, uh, I want to make sure that your fridge is always stocked.
01:29Yeah, I can see that.
01:32I could be cool.
01:34And there's, uh, you know, there's kale in there, there's protein, so it's, it's balance.
01:37It's all about balance.
01:38Well, thank you.
01:39I appreciate that.
01:41Come on in.
01:41Okay.
01:48Weather's nice, huh?
01:49Yeah.
01:53Now, something tells me that you are not here to talk about groceries.
01:57Uh, no, I, um, I called over to Forrester.
02:01They said that you weren't in yet, so I thought I'd come out here.
02:05I was, you know, taking some time.
02:07I'm going to go in late.
02:08Don't worry.
02:08I got it approved.
02:10Does this have anything to do with the letter from Elector that you didn't receive?
02:13No.
02:14No, I just want to make sure that you're not being mistreated over there with everything else that's going on,
02:18that you're not avoiding work.
02:19I'm not.
02:20And really, Mom, you don't need to worry about it.
02:22I'm fine.
02:23Okay.
02:25I just can't believe what Ivy did to break you and Electra up.
02:29Yeah.
02:30Yeah, it was, uh, pretty twisted.
02:32And not only to me and Electra, but to Dylan, too.
02:37Okay, that should be the last one.
02:38Thanks.
03:02I feel like we keep bumping into each other.
03:05Yeah.
03:05Well, it's bound to happen because we both work at Forrester.
03:11Look, I meant it when I said I don't want to do anything to make you upset or uncomfortable.
03:17It's not even that I'm uncomfortable.
03:19I just can't help but be cautious around you.
03:26I have been hurt and betrayed by so many people in my life that I have cared about.
03:34Ivy is just the most recent one with her manipulations keeping me and Will apart.
03:40I have been hurt.
03:52I have been hurt.
03:52Dylan.
03:53Mom, she was affected by Ivy's actions, too.
03:56You're still defending her?
03:58No, I'm not defending her.
03:59Mom, I told you what she had been through.
04:02I mean, come on.
04:02It's not like that.
04:03Well, it better not be if you want to win Electra back.
04:07I mean, at least she finally did the right thing and moved out.
04:12You know what?
04:12I don't even know why I brought it up because I don't want to talk about Ivy.
04:16I'm moving on.
04:19I mean, that's good.
04:21You know I'm trying to do the same.
04:23Move on.
04:25I mean, I'm so happy to have a job here.
04:28But I get that Forrester is your family and your territory.
04:34I understand that.
04:35And I won't overstep.
04:37I promise.
04:39Please tell me that you believe me.
04:43I'm a little concerned that things between our wives are getting kind of tense, especially at work.
04:51I heard Hope's line was put on hold.
04:54Yeah, yeah.
04:55It's just weird, you know, for a long-standing line like Hope for the Future to get shelved.
04:59It doesn't come off very fair.
05:03Well, I understand why you would feel that way, but it's not up to us.
05:09Steffi's co-CEO, Hope, has to answer to her.
05:12Yeah, well, that's the thing.
05:14Maybe not for long.
05:16Do you see what I'm working on right now?
05:20Well, this is part of your job.
05:22It's inventory.
05:23You know what I mean.
05:25Okay, so what is it then?
05:26This is for another line when, ideally, I should be focusing on my own line.
05:33So what I am asking for, Steffi, is a date.
05:36A date.
05:38A relaunch date for Hope for the Future.
05:50Look, it's good that Dylan's moved out.
05:52She's finally in a position to support herself financially, and I'm happy for her.
05:58Sue me.
05:58Okay, all right.
05:59Well, I have to ask, how do you feel about all this?
06:03Mom, things are complicated.
06:04Yeah, they're complicated.
06:06They're complicated largely because of Dylan.
06:08And now she's working at Forrester.
06:10You're seeing her every day.
06:11So is it still Elektra?
06:15Because you have to see what's standing right in front of you.
06:17If you don't act, RJ is going to make a move.
06:21And you've done enough for Dylan.
06:22You shouldn't lose Elektra over that girl.
06:25I didn't want to go back to living out of my car again.
06:29It was scary and dangerous.
06:33But I lost sight of what was important.
06:37Our friendship.
06:40When you gave Will that ultimatum, you were me, I should have left immediately.
06:46But the truth is, I was so scared of going back to that life and living in my car again.
06:55Most nights, I barely got any sleep.
06:57I mean, I would try and I'd shut my eyes, but the fear and adrenaline would force them back open.
07:03And having to become well acquainted with the businesses close by that would let me use the restroom without being
07:08a customer.
07:09But then knowing that I couldn't show my face at the same one too often because then if I did,
07:13they would know.
07:14And that's what I hated more than anything else was the look on their faces when they found out, the
07:22pity or the suspicion.
07:27And people, people don't talk about how incredibly lonely it is.
07:32And not just because I didn't have anyone physically there with me, but because it felt like no one cared.
07:38Like I was forgotten.
07:42Regardless of what happened during our friendship, you are one of the strongest and bravest and most resilient women I
07:53know.
07:55Not forgotten.
07:58And there's a part of me that does understand why you did what you did.
08:05Please, Elektra, just give me another chance.
08:14I'm not accusing Steffia of anything, but the company has to address this whole stringing hope along thing.
08:22I mean, she's too talented to let go to waste.
08:24And the thing is, if Forrester doesn't appreciate hope, you know somebody else is going to come along and appreciate
08:33her more.
08:37I've got to get that in my hospital.
08:38Just wait here a minute.
08:39Yeah.
08:48If you started your own line at Logan, you would have everyone's not only support, enthusiastic support, and finally, you
08:56would come first.
08:58Start fresh.
08:59Find some much-needed happiness and respect at Logan.
09:06Okay.
09:07Yep.
09:08All right, we will check in with the county.
09:10Yep, thank you.
09:11All right, bye-bye.
09:14Hey, sorry about that.
09:15Busy day.
09:16That's all right.
09:18You're the boss.
09:20Get to make the big decisions about what goes on here.
09:24Like, when my line will get resuscitated.
09:28I told you, Hope, Forrester's putting all of our energy and resources into couture.
09:32We're focusing on my grandfather now that he's back.
09:34And I respect that.
09:36I really do, but it does feel like you're deflecting here.
09:40Like, I only ask about a timeline because I'm trying to manage expectations.
09:45Like, what does this mean for my line and me?
09:49Hope, I told you we don't have a launch date right now, okay?
09:53Honestly, sometimes I think you like keeping me in limbo, stringing me along, just waiting for you to make a
10:02decision and then ripping it away.
10:04Hey, there's something more going on here, isn't there?
10:18Look, Mom, I'm not just sitting around here and waiting for Elektra to come to me.
10:22I'm actively fighting for her.
10:25Clearly, you were affected by your time with Dylan.
10:28Yeah, I was.
10:29I was finally able to talk about a few things.
10:32And sure, I let her crash here.
10:34That was only because Elektra is her best friend.
10:36Yeah, I know, and that's what concerns me.
10:38What if she sees you and Dylan together?
10:41We keep our distance.
10:43Besides, she's focused on a career at Forrester, and I think that's great.
10:47It's a huge opportunity for her.
10:49Okay.
10:50Well, clearly you care about her.
10:52I do care about her.
10:54She and I got pretty close when Ivy was manipulating Elektra and me.
10:59Our friendship meant a lot to me.
11:02It meant everything, having someone to go get matcha with and talk about anything.
11:07Or nothing.
11:09It made me feel lighter during a really dark time in my life.
11:13And I really want to give you another chance, Dylan.
11:18But like I said, I've just been hurt and betrayed by people that I care about.
11:22Too many times.
11:26And I'm not just talking about my Aunt Ivy.
11:31There's something I've never told you.
11:34You can tell me.
11:40Back home, I was deep faked.
11:47And then it happened again here in L.A.
11:51And it wasn't just some random stranger.
11:53It was someone that I trusted.
11:54It was my best friend.
11:58I try.
11:59I'm so sorry.
12:00And I work really hard every day to try and forget that.
12:05And some days are easier than others.
12:07But on the bad days, it feels like that trauma rules my life.
12:14You said it was a friend?
12:17My best friend.
12:20Remy.
12:22Remy.
12:24Remy.
12:24Remy Price.
12:29So I'm sorry if I went a little overboard with you.
12:34But like I said, I've been hurt and betrayed so many times.
12:44Everything good?
12:46Yeah.
12:49Look, Liam, listen.
12:51I really do believe that hope is appreciated at Forrester.
12:55You even said it yourself.
12:57Right?
12:57Hope for the future, it's a big part of Forrester.
13:00Hope must believe that.
13:02It's not going anywhere.
13:04I'm not so sure.
13:06Hope, I am asking for your understanding.
13:08We have supported Hope for the Future for over a decade now.
13:12This isn't anything personal.
13:15But if you do want to talk about business,
13:17there was a time when Hope for the Future was underperforming.
13:21How can you expect it to succeed when you're constantly undermining it and me?
13:27Stephanie, honestly, what is this really about?
13:30Forrester Creations is as much a home away from home for you as it is for me.
13:36I grew up here, too.
13:38I remember playing in the hallways together when we were little.
13:44And as much as we have had hard times, we've always managed to find our way through it.
13:49But this, it just, it feels, it feels different.
13:52And it feels like none of that even matters anymore.
13:55So I'm asking you,
13:59is there a place for me here at Forrester Creations?
14:02Or is there no use for me or my line?
14:05Because, I don't know, it feels like that's what you're trying to tell me.
14:08So if that is the case, maybe I should just go work somewhere else.
14:13Like where?
14:27Hope, I think you're overreacting.
14:30Am I?
14:31Because I'm coming to you as co-CEO to tell you that I am feeling unappreciated here at Forrester.
14:37You still have a line, Hope. We're just prioritizing.
14:40My grandfather is back now. He is the founder of this company.
14:44Look, the way your am moved, going behind our backs, putting her claws into my grandfather,
14:50she stabbed us in the back. And I'm not going to forget that.
14:52Right, but I'm asking you about my future here at Forrester Creations.
14:57You know how much this company, and Hope for the Future, means to me, Steffi.
15:02And I think you know that my line will die if we don't put out a new collection.
15:08Don't you think you're being a little overdramatic?
15:10It's just being postponed for a bit, okay?
15:14You're not taking me seriously here.
15:17I'm asking you, do I have a future here at Forrester Creations, or should I look someplace else?
15:29When I asked you to respect my relationship with Will and not spend any time alone with him,
15:37I was just trying desperately to protect what I had with him.
15:41And you couldn't do what I asked.
15:45And that really hurt me.
15:48And now, all of that stuff was my own IVF.
15:51That is a whole nother level of pain, because that is family.
15:55And it all started with those deep things.
15:58I hate what that creep did to me.
16:00I do.
16:02But I wish I would have known.
16:06But that doesn't excuse me.
16:09And I know that.
16:11I am truly so sorry.
16:13And I am stepping back and respecting you and your boundaries.
16:18I know that Will and RJ both have feelings for you.
16:21I won't interfere.
16:24I'll just be here if you need someone to confide in.
16:28Just please tell me that there's a chance that we could be friends again.
16:33I'll think about it.
16:34Yes, that means so much to me.
16:36I mean, that is more that I could ask for.
16:41And again, I am so sorry.
16:44I'm so sorry about what happened to you and those deep fakes.
17:10I like a little spice with my sweet.
17:13Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
17:14Any more of that, you're going to burn a hole through the plate.
17:16You have to try it.
17:17Just a little bit.
17:18Get a lot.
17:37Hello?
17:40Jamie, is that you?
17:42Are you messing with me?
17:43Because it's not funny.
18:10Here's a look ahead.
18:11You should be co-CEO with Ridge, not Stuffy.
18:14You're right.
18:14We need another fashion icon.
18:17Like Hope?
18:18No freaking way.
18:19I need to know that I have a place here.
18:21Because if not, then what?
18:24What are you going to do?
18:51I'm going to do it.
