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