Transcript
00:00I've contributed so much, I've generated a lot of wealth for the company.
00:05So please, just give me the recognition and the respect that I deserve by making me your co-CEO.
00:16Hopefully my mother got through to Ridge. Her decades of work has been taken for granted
00:23at Forrester. I mean, surely Ridge must see that. For Steffi to be her boss, for her to hold my
00:32mother's fate in her hands, it's ridiculous. Well, Steffi also holds your fate in our hands.
00:39I know, and I am tired of it. I do deserve better. Yeah. And so does my mom.
00:47Yeah. And if my mother is CEO, then Steffi will not be able to wield as much power. And my
00:55line
00:55might actually have a fighting chance. As much as I hate to admit this, Liam, I need this.
01:04My future at Forrester depends on it. Is that for International? Yes. Great.
01:15Well, I'm glad that wasn't something heavier. I'm sorry, man. I'm just, I'm having a rough day.
01:20Yeah, I can see that. What's going on? Between you and me,
01:28I gotta tell you how I really feel about what's been going on around here.
01:35Daphne Rose's assistant. I mean, that sounds like a job if you're going anywhere, right? She's
01:41internationally in demand after all. Yeah. I mean, I feel really lucky.
01:47I always wanted you to succeed, Dylan. Even at Forrester.
02:09I'll be honest, you working at Forrester doesn't really feel the same as it was if, um,
02:14I had started when we were still friends.
02:18I wish we could be again. Yeah, I guess I'm just a little hesitant about making friends these days.
02:25Seems like I keep putting my trust in all the wrong people.
02:28I hate that you think I'm one of those people that you can't trust.
02:33And it's, uh, it's a little bit uncomfortable still seeing you around Forrester. I really wish that
02:40that wasn't the case. I get it. And I don't want to upset you. I mean, completely the opposite.
02:47But I need this opportunity. I feel like my life literally depends on it.
02:52I know. I understand.
02:58Yeah, I get it, man. It's been tense around here lately.
03:01What Bill and Katie did, it rocked us, man. And Eric, he's still trying to...
03:05I'm not happy about how all that went down, but that's not what I'm talking about.
03:09Okay.
03:10You know I'm working on Kutora. And you and I both know why.
03:16Hope and hope for the future are being marginalized.
03:27So you're banking on Brooke getting through to Rich.
03:32What if she doesn't?
03:35She has to. Yeah. Because the situation at Forrester is untenable.
03:40No, that's what I mean. I know it's untenable. But what if it...
03:43If it stays untenable, will you promise me that you'll come and take your talents over here to Logan?
03:56You do know how much you're valued, right?
03:59Do I? I answer to Steffi.
04:05Bitch. It's not right. It's not just about the title. It's recognition that I am and always have been an
04:13integral part of Forrester Creations.
04:15I can't be replaced.
04:16No, it goes without saying.
04:18So, you did talk to Steffi.
04:20I did, yes.
04:21And she's going to step down.
04:23No, she... she wants things to be the way that they are now.
04:27The two of us running the company together.
04:29Okay, well, you'd expect her to put up a fight.
04:32But she didn't agree with her.
04:37Ridge, please tell me you didn't agree with her.
04:50Look, I'm... I'm not going to stand in your way of you taking this job. I know how much you
04:55need it.
04:56But I do have some conditions.
05:01Okay.
05:02You need to focus on work, not your love life.
05:07I swear, that is exactly what I'm doing.
05:09And you can't cross the line with anyone in the office, but especially Will.
05:18If you can accept those conditions, then I can accept you being that Forrester.
05:25I will do whatever you need me to do.
05:27I mean, I am just so grateful to be here and have a steady job with Forrester, no less.
05:32But most importantly, to hopefully make amends with you.
05:39Zen, I hope you don't think being put on couture is some kind of demotion.
05:44Carter, they asked me to review RJ's designs.
05:47I designed an entire collection for hope for the future that is never going to see the light of day.
05:51I'm here to create.
05:54But now the golden child is back in town and Stephanie hates hope.
05:57So all this love, this passion, poop, scomp, doesn't matter.
06:01And it has nothing to do with business, it's all personal.
06:04I am getting screwed here, Carter, and so is hope.
06:13Don't let them undervalue you.
06:16You're Hope the Lighthouse Logan.
06:20Spencer.
06:20Hope the Spitfire Spencer.
06:23See, this is exactly my point.
06:24This is what I'm talking about.
06:25We're your family and you belong with us.
06:29And Logan, sky's the limit, you know?
06:32No more roadblocks, no more just waiting around to be recognized.
06:35Katie is doing something really, really special.
06:37And she and my dad, they're coming off of a big win, there's a lot of momentum, they want to
06:41capitalize on that.
06:43Anything you want, you'll have.
06:46Well, if anyone understands feeling disrespected, it's Katie.
06:51Yes, but Katie also understands what it's like to stop tolerating that disrespect.
06:57When she went out into the world and she made a name for herself completely independent of Forrester.
07:03And you can do that too.
07:05I don't have a designer, I don't have a team, Thomas would never leave.
07:12What about Zende?
07:14He's a Forrester too, but I just, I have to manifest that my mother is going to be the co
07:21-CEO.
07:22And then she, my line and I, we will finally get the respect that we deserve.
07:32I'm sure Steffi's disappointed and I'm sorry about that.
07:36But even she must see that her position of power over me is wrong.
07:42I don't think she feels that she has a position of power over you.
07:45Really?
07:46Really, we talked about it and she respects everything that you've done for this company, she respects you.
07:52Okay, we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this, even if what you're saying is true.
07:57And she does see me as an equal, she certainly is wielding her power over my daughter.
08:02Hope deserves some respect and so does her line and that means not having to answer to Steffi.
08:07Because she's the boss. Steffi has earned her position.
08:11And so is Hope. They both grew up in the halls of Forrester Creations.
08:16They both had parents that gave huge contributions to the fashion industry.
08:21Now, why is Steffi the boss and Hope a mere employee?
08:25I mean, it doesn't really make sense. It's not fair to Hope. Why is she the one being disrespected?
08:30She's not being disrespected. Her line isn't being disrespected. My dad came back. We have to focus on Couture right
08:36now.
08:36Okay. So, we can revisit this when I'm co-CEO, right?
08:44Right, Rich?
08:48I'm sorry. I love you so much, but I can't do this.
08:53I can't take this away from Steffi. How would that be fair?
08:57She's been running this company for a long time. She's been doing a great job.
09:01And taking this away from her is-is-is-is an emotion. It's nothing else. That's just what it is.
09:08And I'm sorry. I can't do that to my daughter.
09:21Oh, it's nice to talk to you again. Even just for a little bit, like this.
09:26Yeah, it feels good to me, too.
09:32Dylan, what happened to you?
09:35I mean, I can only imagine, right? Living in your car. How scary that was.
09:42And traumatizing.
09:45But I don't want you to think that I didn't care about what happened to you. That I didn't care
09:50about you.
09:52I'm not the only one that's been traumatized. And what Ivy did to you was-was awful.
10:00Making you believe that Will broke up with you. I know how much that must have hurt.
10:06And you know, I have to believe that if she hadn't made up that lie, maybe you could have
10:10believed me that I hadn't been trying to-
10:12Okay, look, um, I don't think we should talk about this.
10:18Yeah. Yeah, you're probably right.
10:21Besides, you've had it. You've had it hard since coming to L.A.
10:25Having to deal with those deep fakes.
10:28Yeah, because of my good friend, Remy.
10:36What do you want?
10:38We need to talk.
10:39Cuz.
10:47I had no idea you felt that, Blaine, man.
10:50Have you spoke to Bridget and Stephan?
10:52Nah, they're too busy with Eric coming back.
10:55I gotta say, Carter, there's no way that I'm playing second fiddle to RJ.
11:00Yeah, he's my family, and yeah, I think he deserves to have a place here.
11:03But I have worked too hard to be a footnote on Ridge Jr.'s path to the top.
11:12I don't deserve that. And Hope doesn't deserve that either.
11:17I know you want Ridge to do the right thing, to give your mom the respect she deserves,
11:22so that she can pass that on to you. But here's a thought, wouldn't it be great if you didn't
11:28have
11:28to ask for respect? If you didn't have to worry about whether or not your ideas would get the green
11:35light? I mean, what if the lights were always green? Just green, green, green. Everywhere you go, green.
11:40That's a lot of green.
11:41Also, green represents new, fresh, right? I mean, new direction, new opportunity. That,
11:47if nothing else, that is why you should come to Logan.
11:52I understand why you want to protect your daughter, her status, her accomplishments.
11:57But what about me, Ridge? What about my status? What about what I've accomplished?
12:03But you don't need protection. You broke Logan. You set the bar. What do you need protection from?
12:07Ridge, I need something tangible.
12:10Right now, I'm just a face on a magazine or a social media post. But I need something more.
12:16Something that somebody can't just turn the page or swipe on by.
12:20Is that what you're worried about?
12:21You know, my sister's been wrong about a lot of things lately, but she's been right about something.
12:28She owns her own company. That means she owns her own destiny.
12:32Doesn't matter what she does with the company. All of her losses, her failures,
12:35her successes. Whatever it is, she gets to own them. And I deserve it. After all the years of
12:42contributions that I put into Forrester Creations, I deserve some kind of title. And I know you're
12:49gonna just argue that it's meaningless, but it's not. It's not meaningless. To me, it means a great deal.
12:53I never said it was meaningless. It means a lot. It means everything to Steffi.
13:01I can't take that away from her.
13:14Yeah, having those pictures on the internet was, it was really humiliating.
13:19Even though I knew that they were fake, no one else did. And I was,
13:23I was terrified that Will or, or someone else here at Forrester would find them and,
13:30and any hope of a relationship or, or a career would be gone forever.
13:36I'm sure going through something like that probably made you stronger.
13:39And the thing that hurt the most is that Remy was behind everything.
13:45I'm my closest friend. I put my trust in him, in the wrong person, and it made me feel like
13:51I
13:51couldn't trust myself. I hate that I probably made you feel the same way.
13:58You couldn't trust yourself. Maybe you are right. Maybe everything did make me stronger. Everything,
14:07everything that's pulled us apart. I want to move on. I want, I,
14:13I want to be friends again. Do you really mean that?
14:18I think I do, yeah. Oh my gosh, that makes me so happy.
14:24Thank you. I promise I will never do anything to hurt or betray you ever again.
14:31This makes me happy too.
14:34Oh my gosh, I feel like I just, I can't believe I have a chance to get everything back on
14:37track,
14:38you know? I mean, I have this job at Forrester, and I have a chance to be friends with you
14:42again.
14:44I just, I'm, I feel so lucky. I'm so surprised. I'm so excited.
15:00I love my Aunt Katie, and what she's doing here at Logan, it is nothing short of amazing, and
15:07I would be honored to work alongside her, and of course you.
15:15But the thought of leaving Forrester, I just, I can't, I can't do it.
15:22I, I have to believe that my mom is going to become co-CEO, and then everything will fall into
15:28place.
15:32I have to.
15:38I can't believe what I'm hearing, that you won't do this for me.
15:42I will do anything for you. You want the title, let's find you a title, but the most important thing
15:47is you have a seat at the table, right?
15:49I, Mitch, Steffi will still have the final say.
15:52I know when you're disappointed, I get it. And I don't, you know how much I love you.
16:00And you know how much I love you. And yes, you are an incredible father, and an incredible husband, you
16:06are.
16:07But I, I have to say, I am, I'm deeply disappointed.
16:12I know. I see it. Look, you can have anything you want from me, anything you want. But you can't
16:21have that.
16:23I can't take that away from Steffi. You can't be my co-CEO.
16:50It's just a nightmare for hope. Here's a look ahead.
16:52There's a new sheriff in town. Leave that dusty old-fashioned house behind.
16:56Tell me he agreed to make you co-CEO.
16:59I'm not some threat, Dylan. Promise me that you will stay away from all of us.
17:04ZXu said.
17:21That's a bad idea.
17:22Cheers.
17:22Bye-bye.
