00:05i can't believe you're doing this step i know this is what brooke wants but you can't give her
00:11my job that's we're all gonna be part of the leadership team that's all but for you to even
00:17consider this like you've never complained about my job it's been exceptional your work's been
00:23exceptional okay so i'm being demoted but it's not because of me or my job performance right
00:29it's her you can't ask me to step down for brooke so she can be ceo
00:53it's really rich i knew what was happening
00:56well it's probably a good thing that we're just handling it on his own
00:59yeah yes rich and stephie really need this time as father and daughter to have an open and honest
01:07conversation about what this change in leadership actually means about why it's so important
01:15and that is a lovely sentiment mom but i think we both know that stephie is not going to take
01:24this
01:24well
01:27she won't go down without a fight if brooke takes over then hope won't have to leave
01:33of course i'm ceo of logan so she's got to be co-ceo of forrester yeah i have no doubt
01:39that that was
01:40part of the motivation but i also think brooke believes that you know she's contributed a lot
01:45over the years and so she deserves it and and hope you know hope sees it as a means to
01:51longevity
01:51for herself and her lines it's not going to happen if brooke wants to run things with the dressmaker
01:58she has to go through step i don't i don't know dad i don't know hope made it sound like
02:03it's
02:03it's possible and it may be the only thing that can keep hope over there
02:15fragrance is a personal unique to every individual i know that people have
02:23their signature sense yes and it's it's more than that it's chemistry here smell this
02:36oh wow daphne this is incredible and now on me
02:45oh wow yeah that's even brighter and it will be slightly different on you
02:50always beautiful recognizable but unique due to your body chemistry
02:59i had no idea i love it you can wear it on your next date
03:05yeah i don't know about that one of the perks of being my assistant dylan
03:10no i i mean about the date i'm sure you don't have any trouble meeting men
03:32you're an attractive young woman sweet and intelligent thank you you must get asked out
03:40all the time um my dating just doesn't really fit into my life right now
03:48i mainly focused on this amazing opportunity working with you here at forrester and
03:55hopefully repairing my friendship with electra
04:00i'm not going to claim that brooke doesn't or does deserve you know to be ceo she's had the job
04:06before she's on the leadership team i mean that's not good enough for her it's about being good enough
04:11to help hope to stop stephy from stalling her line
04:15okay if brooke couldn't convince ridge to veto that decision
04:19you think he's going to grow enough of a spine to tell his daughter to step down
04:26i'm not naive honey i know that stephy will have a problem with this
04:31she's going to fight like hell that's why rich needs to put this change in context
04:38we're taking forrester into a golden era and she will be a part of it
04:42everybody would be contributing everybody would be collaborating
04:46and when everybody has a stake everyone benefits the forrester clients and buyers most of all
04:55that's right
04:58and i will be running forrester as co-ceo but everybody will be involved and working together
05:09i'm confident rich will get through to his daughter
05:15look i know you want to make brooke happy but i'm doing the job it is mine and you are
05:20not taking it
05:20away i just don't know what i'm doing i'm trying to do what's best for this company
05:23there was a time when we had that when we i don't want to hear about some golden age revival
05:28dad
05:29forrester creations had a king and queen my grandparents what it needs now is season solid
05:33leadership not some fairy tale i mean dad come on do not forget about how hard i work
05:39all of my dedication do not please don't do this again do not choose brooke over your own daughter
05:57the numbers here note the amounts and ratios that i use in each trial formula
06:06i mean i don't think i'll ever get over how cool this is a forester your fragrance line
06:14you know this is a team and you're part of it
06:19a lecture and willie's talk about working here all the time but i never imagined that i would be too
06:26it's it's incredible
06:29it'd be even better if
06:31lecture and i were getting along right now
06:34well maybe we could grab lunch together go out after work
06:39lecture was one of the best friends i ever had
06:41i really miss her
06:44oh bonjour lecture
06:46hi
06:47hey how's everything going in here
06:50good
06:50daphne's been teaching me all about her line
06:53i'm very lucky to have such a thoughtful and observant new assistant
06:59thanks daphne
07:00i'm really glad to be here
07:05and i hope that you'll feel good about my being here too
07:10someday soon
07:16good thing in the schedule after my call blew on
07:19katie has enough going on running logan i don't want no stressing over brooke trying to force
07:25stephy out of there
07:26i hear you i thought she was mine
07:28yeah
07:31you're brilliant thank you
07:34brooke's play could affect all of us
07:37hope's not coming to logan if she thinks her mother's going to be ceo at forrester
07:41let me give you the odds of that happening
07:43zero percent
07:45brooke can get rich to do an awful lot
07:48although demoting his daughter
07:50he might be right
07:51stephy won't have it
07:52she's a tenacious businesswoman she's tough
07:55and she's devoted to forrester
07:58the only thing she's more clingy about is family
08:01nobody is forcing stephy out of the ceo chair
08:04forrester is her territory
08:06and she ain't giving it up
08:08i mean you're not wrong
08:09i seem to remember stephy prying forrester from your home
08:13prying is
08:14okay that's not exactly what happened
08:17and it's also ancient history
08:19i know i'm agreeing with you actually
08:21i think there's no way that stephy's going to give up her position
08:24and if she doesn't
08:26what does that say about hope's future at forrester
08:30the important thing
08:32is that you took action
08:34you told ridge what you want
08:36yeah
08:37and if it wasn't you
08:39i might not have
08:40well you deserve it mom
08:43you've earned your place at the top
08:45i just don't know why i wasn't willing to push for it
08:48well because they have a way of making us feel
08:52about a second tier at forrester
08:55like somehow our work is less significant
08:59or our ideas are less valid
09:01only that couldn't be further from the truth
09:04i mean especially in your case
09:06i mean think of pretty much any big forrester breakthrough
09:09and it had you behind it
09:12it's true
09:13i mean i was given credit
09:15i was just never really given a critical role at forrester
09:19meanwhile stephy was handed the ceo position
09:24without really making any significant contributions
09:27she is a solid executive
09:30and she does care about forrester
09:31just leadership is more than just giving orders
09:37or the bottom line
09:38it's also about creativity
09:41and that's what i want to see
09:43that's the kind of story that i want to tell
09:46and i want to take my rightful place
09:48next to ridge
09:48as co-ceo of forrester creations
09:53i'm not discounting your work
09:55you know that
09:55you're willing to throw this whole company into chaos
09:57no no no that's not what's going to happen
09:59oh my god then you're kidding yourself dad
10:01the only reason brooke came to you about the ceo position
10:05is because of hope
10:07think about it
10:08what would work do
10:09if she was in the spot
10:11hope's upset about her line
10:12she feels like she's being pushed aside
10:14which is a sound business decision
10:16delaying hope for the future
10:17but hope doesn't feel that way
10:19so she got into brooke's gear about this ceo garbage
10:22she's trying to get back at me
10:24it is so obvious
10:27look i'll admit
10:29brooke has earned her spot here
10:31okay
10:31she deserves it
10:33i get it
10:33but she's not gonna have my job
10:36tell me you understand that
10:37tell me you agree
10:48i heard that you got promoted to
10:50daphne's assistant
10:53congratulations don
10:55thank you
10:58that's really nice of you to say
11:00but i want you to know that
11:02i've also learned a lot from you already
11:06i mean i wouldn't even be here today
11:08if it weren't for you
11:09i mean you encouraged will to take me in
11:11and who knows what might have happened if you hadn't
11:16but i know that that ended up causing problems
11:20and i'm sorry
11:21truly
11:24i'm very grateful for where i'm at now
11:35there's still a time to change plans if hope stays at forester
11:38that only happens if the dressmaker comes through for brooke
11:42and when has he ever done that
11:43the guy's made a career out of letting her down
11:46and hope's not going to stick around if there's no change in ceo
11:50she's pretty much done taking orders from steffi at this point
11:53well hope would be an amazing addition to my company
11:56i mean her vision her brand ethics
11:59they're known all the way around the world
12:01i would love to bring my niece and her line to logan
12:05but what would that do to her relationship with her mother
12:08what would it do to your relationship with her mother
12:11i mean this could really spell the end for my relationship with my sister
12:20i can already hear steffi's response
12:24but i'm not being selfish
12:26no it's like you said forester is entering a new era
12:31that's right
12:32and i think hope for the future should be a vital part of that
12:35i'm not taking the ceo position just for me honey
12:40i'm doing it to help you
12:42and i know you would if you were able to
12:47being an executive i can only do so much
12:49my opinion doesn't carry as much weight as carter's or steffi's
12:53but as co-ceo
12:55i could do so much more
12:58i could help you
12:59i could defend you
13:01i could promote you
13:05don't worry honey
13:07this will all work out for us
13:10our day
13:12has finally come
13:21there is no question brooke has had an impact on this company
13:26but most of her contributions they were
13:28years ago
13:30belief
13:30brooke's bedroom
13:32the men's line
13:32i mean she has earned her place here
13:35but we need to look into the future
13:36that's what i'm saying
13:37the future
13:38and that means you got to make some changes
13:40try new things
13:41right
13:41i get that
13:42and as your co-ceo
13:43that's what i've been doing
13:44i've been realigning our priorities
13:46our goals
13:46if you want to move in a different direction
13:48i'm okay to do that
13:50i want forrester creations to thrive
13:52so you can go to brooke
13:53you can give her a title
13:55any other title
13:57you can give her a raise
13:58and she can be featured more prominently online
14:00and in magazines
14:01if she wants the spotlight
14:02she can have it
14:03she can soak up the applause
14:05heck i will fly her around
