00:02Oh, my God. I can't believe it. It's you.
00:14Electra, you got a minute?
00:17Yeah, for the boss always. Is everything okay?
00:21That's what I want to find out. How are you doing?
00:24Good. Yeah, I'm right on schedule. I'll have this piece finished by today.
00:28Oh, great. That's not what I was asking about. How are you doing?
00:34I don't know what Ivy did. It must have been really hurtful.
00:38It was. You know, knowing that all of the problems Will and I were having, Ivy was behind them, driving
00:45us apart.
00:47Well, I'm sorry.
00:50Thanks for checking in on me.
00:52Sure.
00:54Listen, you're a big part of this company. An important part of this family.
00:59You got support here.
01:02Yeah, I thought I had Ivy's support, too.
01:05She swears that she was looking out for me. I just like...
01:08I can't believe what she did.
01:15You know, it's normal for there to be a drop-off after the first wave of orders.
01:23Things kind of slow down.
01:26This is slowing down?
01:28No, it's not. That's what I'm saying. I mean, a few more days like this.
01:32Oh, my God. Yeah, like our production team is going to earn themselves some nice bonuses this year.
01:37Well, we're shipping out gowns as fast as humanly possible.
01:40Is this surprising to you?
01:43It shouldn't be.
01:46I mean, these are Eric Forster designs, but...
01:50Liam, we're going to have to build on this momentum.
01:53I mean, soon we're going to need another collection and then another one.
01:56I mean...
01:58You know where I stand.
02:00I think our answer to this is...
02:02Hope.
02:09We are shifting resources to the Couture line.
02:12Putting hope for the future on the back burner again.
02:15Okay, we have to change our priorities now that my grandfather's back and he's designing.
02:20Eric's return has to take precedence.
02:22I get that.
02:23But does my line have to come to a complete stop?
02:27But surely there must be other options or are you just not entertaining them?
02:32Because it is more personal for you than it is business.
02:50I'm just saying, I think hope coming here could be the answer.
02:56Forster that Logan is looking for, but also just good for my wife.
03:03She's established herself at Forrester.
03:06I mean, it's not like they're canceling her line.
03:09Yeah, but there's no guarantee it won't be at this point.
03:13I mean, hope for the future hasn't been a priority at Forrester for a long time.
03:17Hence, you know, that whole takeover.
03:20Well, I think that's been resolved.
03:22That's in the past.
03:24I mean, I want to believe that.
03:26Hope wants to believe that.
03:30But I really think the best thing for Hope professionally and just in terms of her well-being is to
03:38get out from under Steffi's thumb.
03:42Temporarily suspending your line is a sound business decision.
03:45I've given you my reasons.
03:47It's about our profit margins and reinvesting in my grandfather.
03:51So I advise you to try to understand that and be a team player.
03:56We'll get to hope for the future at some point, okay?
03:59Sure.
04:01So I'm not exactly feeling welcome here at Forrester these days.
04:07Listen, what your aunt did, it was wrong.
04:10And it really has nothing to do with you, or your position here at the company, or the fact that
04:17you might possibly be running the jewelry line on your own.
04:22You want me to run the jewelry line?
04:24I'm thinking about it.
04:26It's a big deal.
04:28A lot of work.
04:29You up for it?
04:30Yes.
04:31Yes.
04:32Honestly, work has been what is saving me right now.
04:35Let me show you something that we've been working on.
04:37Uh-huh.
04:43You know, Ivy said that she was protecting me.
04:47And she was convinced that Will was being unfaithful with Dylan.
04:52That's probably why she did what she did.
04:54It doesn't justify it, though.
04:58It was just crazy the way that she manipulated me and Will, and now Ivy's gone.
05:06And Dylan works here.
05:09What are you doing here?
05:11I've been calling you.
05:12Remember?
05:14Because you?
05:15Why?
05:15What do you want?
05:34Logan has a little bit of time before we absolutely need a designer.
05:38I'm not ready to panic yet.
05:40Not that hiring Hope would be a desperate move.
05:42No, no, but, I mean, it could be, like, the perfect follow-up to the Eric Forrester era.
05:50It just shows your versatility.
05:52It's an intriguing idea.
05:54I mean, I have a tremendous respect for Hope.
05:58Her vision, everything she's accomplished in fashion.
06:01What?
06:02But my sister is so furious with me.
06:07I mean, if she thought that I had poached Hope and stolen her away from Forrester and brought her to
06:15Logan, I mean, she'd have my head.
06:21You want to make a lasting mark at Forrester, you need to play by the rules now that we're back
06:25in charge.
06:26I can't see it there.
06:27Like, that's a perfect example, the way you talk.
06:31It does feel tinged with a little bit of resentment, and I'm wondering if you're trying to make me feel
06:36uncomfortable.
06:38Well, considering the coup you tried to pull off and messing with my brother, I understand why you would feel
06:43uncomfortable here.
06:44Well, actually, no, I always have felt uncomfortable here, thanks to you.
06:50Oh, okay, so now you're making it personal.
06:52No, actually, I'm just beginning to think that it wouldn't matter how much I contribute with Hope for the Future.
06:58You will always try to find a way to put a ceiling over my wings.
07:03So, yeah, I think I don't have much of a future here at Forrester Creations with you as co-CEO.
07:16A lot of changes around here recently.
07:19Ivy's gone for now.
07:22Dylan works here.
07:25RJ's back.
07:27And he's great.
07:29We've really connected.
07:31I noticed that.
07:34But I still really care about Will.
07:36I noticed that, too.
07:38It's a bit complicated.
07:40It's not complicated for me.
07:42It's complicated for you.
07:43This is none of my business.
07:44I just want to make sure you're okay.
07:48And I want you to run my jewelry line.
07:52What do you want?
07:56I want to run your jewelry line.
07:59Excellent.
08:01I've got a lot of faith in you.
08:05That means a lot.
08:09Oh, Will.
08:10Hey, are you guys in a meeting?
08:13No, I was just making sure my jewelry designer has everything she needs.
08:30You look great, Dylan.
08:32Long time no see.
08:33Wait a minute.
08:34You can't be here.
08:35What was I supposed to do?
08:36Didn't have any luck on the phone.
08:38Yeah, because you were scrambling your voice.
08:40I didn't know it was you.
08:42I was being careful.
08:43What's up with this?
08:45I mean, the voice thing was because I wanted to make sure no one could hear me on speaker.
08:50It was mysterious, right?
08:52No, it was weird.
08:53Okay, is this how you greet your favorite cousin?
08:55You don't get it.
08:57I just started working here.
08:59I can't lose this job.
09:01Electra and the whole family will go nuts if they see you.
09:04Especially talking to you.
09:15I definitely understand the concern because Hope doesn't want to upset Brooke either.
09:21Upset?
09:22That would be putting it mildly.
09:24If Hope leaves Forrester and comes to work with me, I mean, Brooke is going to go ballistic.
09:30Yeah, it would be bumpy.
09:31No, it would be very bumpy, but you know what it's like to be sidelined over there at Forrester.
09:39It's demoralizing, and they're holding Hope back the same way that they held you back.
09:43I just, here's what I'm saying.
09:45I don't want Brooke to be the reason you and Hope don't take this place where it wants to go.
09:56You've always treated my line like an afterthought.
09:59Forrester has always built his reputation on Haute Couture.
10:04So, jewelry, fragrance, lingerie, you're pulling back on those collections as well?
10:08No.
10:09Oh no, it's just mine, again, as usual.
10:16Steffi, I think you know that it is unjustified.
10:20But I think you also know that I am a key player in the success here at Forrester Creations.
10:25Hope for the future has been a staple here for over a decade.
10:28And I have given my all to the most recent collection I have.
10:33I came up with a brilliant concept.
10:36I collaborated with Thomas and Zende like you asked.
10:40There are brilliant designs just waiting for you to give the go-ahead, and yet you keep holding it back.
10:45Why?
10:48But you know, honestly, at least I have something that's my own.
10:56I have a line that I created, whereas you, I think you just enjoy bossing people around.
11:07I'm going to stop this conversation right now before you say something you regret.
11:13Regret?
11:16It's funny, regret.
11:19Sometimes you regret the things you did in life, but more often than not, you regret the things you don't
11:25do.
11:28The chances you don't take.
11:39I'm going to be a lot busier now, but a lot happier, too.
11:44Yeah.
11:45Yeah, that's the perks of loving your job, right?
11:48Speaking of which, I'm very thankful for mine.
11:50It's all I want.
11:51People would be happy and thankful.
11:55Now, I know RJ wants me gone, but I'm very glad you decided to keep me on board.
11:59I could tell my son this is a business.
12:02Nothing personal.
12:03I try to keep it separate.
12:04It doesn't always work, but I try to be objective.
12:06Well, we all appreciate it.
12:08Big time.
12:09I don't mean to bring up this bad subject, but as you know, Ivy was the one manipulating things.
12:16She knew exactly which buttons to push, and of course you believed her.
12:21You have a history of being let down by the people that you care most about.
12:30You need to leave.
12:31You need to leave.
12:31You're not welcome here.
12:32I know.
12:32I gave that impression, huh?
12:34Sneaking around with the wig and all.
12:37I know, Remy.
12:40I know what you did.
12:42To Elektra.
12:43The deepfakes.
12:47Whatever you heard, I'm not that guy anymore.
12:52Tormenting her online back in Texas, and then again when she moved out here?
12:56What the heck?
12:57I had no idea.
12:58Why would you?
12:59It's not like we grew up near each other.
13:01I was outside Dallas.
13:03You were with your family in the Midwest.
13:05Nobody here knows that you and I are related, and after what I heard, I don't want them to.
13:10Good.
13:10You shouldn't tell them.
13:12Plus, Elektra and everybody else here makes it out to be way worse than it actually was.
13:18How could you say that?
13:19She's still traumatized by it.
13:21And I apologize.
13:22I literally begged her to forgive me.
13:24And she's done everything she can to get you completely out of her mind.
13:28She was my best friend in L.A.
13:30We talked about everything.
13:32Or at least I thought that we did.
13:36God, I cannot believe that I didn't know what you did to her until today.
13:49Hey.
13:52No, guys, I can't.
13:54I can't be looking at these numbers right now.
13:56I don't even seem a little riled up.
13:57What's going on?
13:58I just, I can't let hope get to me.
14:01Look, I know she is fighting for her line, but she is on really thin ice right now.
14:07Oh, I am sorry to barge in on you like this.
14:10I know you're in the middle of work.
14:11Oh, we want you here.
14:12Is there anything wrong?
14:13Yeah.
14:13Oh, well, it's Steffi.
14:17Oh, no.
14:18What now?
14:19Oh, they just refused to give me a relaunch date for Hope for the Future, so I'm completely in the
14:25dark.
14:25They won't tell me what their plans are for my line.
14:28And Steffi says it's not personal, but it feels very, very intentional.
14:33So.
14:35Well, she has to know that you're not going to put up with that.
14:38Well, I mean, she's co-CEO, so what choice do I really have?
14:43I mean, that's kind of the thing.
14:44You have every right to be upset, but you do have a choice.
14:48You don't have to put up with this anymore.
14:51The reason Hope for the Future isn't getting the attention it deserves over at Forrester is because it's not a
14:55priority for Steffi.
14:56When Thomas was lead designer, oh, yeah, it totally had your back.
15:00But Hope, I love you too much to see you go to waste like this.
15:04You are smart and talented and really hardworking, and if Forrester just doesn't know what to do with that, screw
15:13them.
15:14Come here.
15:15Like, bring your good ideas here and work with your Spencer family at Logan.
15:36You know I don't take this for granted, being in the same room as you again, especially knowing how you
15:42still feel about me.
15:44Now that the truth is finally out?
15:47Yes, things have been difficult for a while.
15:53And of course we know it was one big misunderstanding, but that doesn't change the fact that the pain was
15:59very real.
16:01I wish I could erase every single argument that we had, every tear.
16:07Because Elektra, I don't want you remembering us like that.
16:11It's going to take time, but things are getting better.
16:18You know, what you said to Ridge really struck me.
16:23About how Ivy knew exactly what buttons to push, because she knew what I had been through.
16:30She knew what my worries were.
16:33You don't have to worry anymore.
16:37Not about you.
16:38No.
16:41Look, I didn't bring up those things in your past to hurt you or make you feel bad.
16:47What I mean to say is that I understand.
16:49I understand your pain and the betrayal that you felt.
16:54And I never want to be one of those people that causes that for you.
17:02Look, I wanted to see you somewhere else, but you kept hanging up on me.
17:07I didn't know it was you.
17:08I was too cryptic, huh?
17:11It was creepy, Remy.
17:13I'm sorry.
17:14I just wanted to reconnect.
17:17Look, yesterday, I might have been glad to see you before Elektra told me what you did.
17:21But now, I feel like I don't even know you.
17:25Who does that?
17:28You made fake nude photos of your best friend and put them on the internet.
17:31Come on, you know more than anybody that I'm not a bad guy.
17:35I don't know what to think right now.
17:37I had no idea what happened between you and Elektra.
17:39And when she mentioned your name, I was floored.
17:41Oh, she doesn't know we're cousins?
17:44No, it never came up.
17:46I didn't even know about the deep fakes when I took this job or when I first met her and
17:49I was teaching at the art camp.
17:50The job I helped you get.
17:53Remember?
17:55I was the one that gave you the tips.
17:58Told you what to say, how to present yourself.
18:02And look at you.
18:03It worked.
18:05Not only did you get the art camp job, but you also became besties with Elektra.
18:11For a while.
18:12Until you moved into Will Spencer's beach house and then Elektra got all insecure and jealous.
18:19You know about that?
18:22Look, I'm not trying to give you a hard time.
18:24I'm impressed, actually.
18:26I mean, now you're here.
18:27We're gonna force their creations.
18:30Well played.
18:32I'm not playing anybody, Remy.
18:34Okay, I'm just saying I'm happy for you.
18:37And part of me feels a little bit responsible.
18:39And proud.
18:42I mean, if it wasn't for that art camp job, your life would be really different right now.
18:49I asked you before, why are you here?
18:55I've missed you, cuz.
18:58I've been on my own lately.
19:00My life is at a critical point.
19:03I could use some help.
19:06I did you a solid.
19:07And now I'm asking you to return the favor.
19:14There's something I need from you, cuz.
19:19And since you owe me, I'm here to collect.
