00:02you did it didn't you you asked stuffy to step down
00:08i know it was hard she is your daughter and you don't want to hurt her i've let her down
00:15before
00:15i didn't really want to do that again well don't look at it that way stuffy's always going to be
00:20important part of the company she's going to be there now and forever but think about the things
00:26that i've done rich i've dedicated my life to forester creations i've contributed so much
00:33i've generated a lot of wealth for the company so please just give me the recognition and the
00:41respect that i deserve by making me your co-ceo hopefully my mother got through to ridge her
00:52decades of work has to take it for granted at forester i mean surely ridge must see that
01:02for stephy to be her boss for her to hold my mother's fate in her hands it's ridiculous
01:09well stephy also holds your fate in our hands i know and i am tired of it
01:19i do deserve better yeah and so does my mom and if my mother is ceo then stephy will not
01:30be able
01:30to wield as much power and my line might actually have a fighting chance as much as i hate to
01:38admit
01:38this liam i need this my future at forester depends on it is that for international yes great
01:55well i'm glad that wasn't something heavier i'm sorry man i'm just i'm having a rough day yeah i can
02:01see
02:01that what's going on between you and me i gotta tell you how i really feel about what's been going
02:13on around here daphne rose's assistant i mean that sounds like a job that you're going anywhere right
02:23she's internationally in demand after all yeah i mean i i feel really lucky
02:32i always wanted you to succeed dylan even at forester
02:56i'll be honest you working at forester doesn't really feel the same as it would if i had started
03:02when we were still friends
03:06i wish we could be again
03:10yeah i guess i'm just a little hesitant about making friends these days
03:14seems like i keep putting my trust in all the wrong people
03:18i hate that you think i'm one of those people that you can't trust
03:24yeah and it's um it's a little bit uncomfortable still seeing you around forrester i really wish
03:31that that wasn't the case i get it and i don't want to upset you i mean completely the opposite
03:39but i need this opportunity i feel like my life literally depends on it i know i understand
03:52yeah i get it man it's been tense around here lately but bill and katie did it it rocked us
03:58man and then
03:59eric he's still trying to i'm not happy about all that went down but that's not what i'm talking about
04:05okay you know i'm working on couture and you and i both know why hope and hope for the future
04:13are being
04:14marginalized
04:24so you're banking on brooke getting through to rich
04:30what if she doesn't
04:33she has to yep because the situation at forester is untenable oh that's what i mean i know it's untenable
04:41but what what what if it if it stays untenable will you promise me that you'll come and take your
04:50talents over here to logan
04:57you do know how much you value right do i i answer to stephi
05:06rich
05:08it's not right it's not just about the title it's recognition that i am and always have been an
05:16integral part of forrester creations i can't be replaced no it goes without saying so you did talk
05:24to stephanie i did yes and she's going to step down no she she wants things to be the way
05:31that they are
05:31now the two of us running the company together okay well you'd expect her to put up a fight
05:38but you didn't agree with her rich please tell me you didn't agree with her
05:55look i'm i'm not gonna stand in your way of you taking this job i know how much you need
06:01it
06:02thank you but i do have some conditions okay you need to focus on work not your love life
06:14i swear that is exactly what i'm and you you can't cross the line with anyone in the office
06:22but especially well
06:27if you can accept those conditions then i can accept you being that forrester
06:34i will do whatever you need me to do i mean i am just so grateful to be here
06:39and have a steady job forrester no less but most importantly to hopefully make amends with you
06:51then i hope you don't think being put on couture is some kind of demotion carter they asked me to
06:57review rj's designs i designed an entire collection for hope for the future that is never going to see
07:03the light of day i'm here to create but now the golden child is back in town and stephi hates
07:10hope so
07:11all this love this passion poof scott doesn't matter and it has nothing to do with business
07:17it's all personal i am getting screwed here carter and so is hope
07:29don't let them undervalue you you're hope the lighthouse logan spencer hope the spitfire spencer
07:39see this is this this is exactly my point this is what i'm talking about we're your family and you
07:44you belong with us and it logan sky's the limit you know no more roadblocks no more just waiting
07:52around to be recognized katie is doing something really really special and she and my dad they're
07:58coming off of a big win there's a lot of momentum they want to capitalize on that it anything you
08:04want
08:05you'll have well if anyone understands feeling disrespected it's katie yes but katie also understands
08:15what it's like to stop tolerating that disrespect when she went out into the world and she made a name
08:21for herself completely independent of forester and you can do that too i don't have a designer i don't
08:31have a team thomas would never leave what about zende he's a forester too but i just i have to
08:42manifest
08:42that my mother is going to be the co-ceo and then she my line and i we will finally
08:50get the respect that we deserve
08:58i'm sure steffi's disappointed and i'm sorry about that but even she must see that her position of power
09:08over me is wrong i don't think she feels that she has a position of power over you really really
09:14we
09:14talked about it and she respects everything that you've done for this company she respects you
09:20okay we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this even if what you're saying is true
09:26and she does see me as an equal she certainly is wielding her power over my daughter hope deserves some
09:33respect and respect and so does her line and that means not having to answer to steffi because she's
09:38the boss steffi has earned her position and so is hope they both grew up in the halls of forest
09:47recreations
09:47they both had parents that gave huge contributions to the fashion industry don't why is steffi the boss
09:56and hope a mere employee i mean it doesn't really make sense it's not fair to hope why is she
10:03the one
10:03being disrespected she's not being disrespected her line isn't isn't being disrespected my dad came
10:08back we have to focus on couture right now okay so we can revisit this when i'm co-ceo right
10:20right rich
10:23i'm sorry i love you so much but i can't do this
10:29i can't take this away from steffi how would that be fair she's been running this company for a long
10:36time she's been doing a great job and taking this away from her it is is it is an emotion
10:43it's nothing
10:44else that's just what it is and i'm sorry i can't do that to my daughter
10:57oh it's nice to talk to you again even just for a little bit like this yeah it feels good
11:04to me too
11:10dylan what happened to you i mean i can only imagine right living in your car how scary that was
11:21and traumatizing
11:25but i don't want you to think that i didn't care about what happened to you that i didn't
11:30care about you i'm not the only one that's been traumatized and what ivy did to you was
11:39was awful making you believe that will broke up with you
11:46i know how much that must have hurt and you know i have to believe that if she hadn't made
11:50up that lie
11:51maybe you could have believed me that i hadn't been trying to look um i don't think we should talk
11:58about
11:58this yeah yeah you're probably right besides you've had it you've had it hard since coming to la
12:10having to deal with those deep peaks yeah because of my good friend remy
12:21what do you want we need to talk
12:34i had no idea you felt that way man have you spoke to rich and stephanie no they're too busy
12:41with
12:41eric coming back i gotta say carter there's no way that i'm playing second fiddle to rj yeah he's my
12:49family and yeah i think he deserves to have a place here but i have worked too hard to be
12:59a footnote
13:01on ridge junior's path to the top i don't deserve that and hope doesn't deserve that either
13:08i know you want ridge to do the right thing to to give your mom the respect she deserves so
13:14that she
13:14can pass that on to you but here's a thought wouldn't it be great if you didn't have to ask
13:22for respect if you didn't have to worry about whether or not your ideas would get the green light
13:28i mean what if what if the lights were always green just green green green everywhere you go green
13:34that's a lot of green also green represents new fresh right i mean new direction new opportunity that
13:42if nothing else that is why you should come to rogan i understand why you want to protect your
13:50daughter her status her accomplishments but what about me rich what about my status what about what
13:58i've accomplished but you don't need protection you broke logan you set the bar what do you need
14:04protection from page i need something tangible right now i'm just a face on a magazine or social
14:12media post but i need something more something that somebody can't just turn the page or swipe on by
14:19is that what you're worried about you know my sister's been wrong about a lot of things lately but she's
14:26been right about something she owns her own company that means she owns her own destiny doesn't matter what
14:33she does with the company all of her losses her failures her successes whatever it is she gets to
14:40own them and i deserve it after all the years of contributions that i put into forrester creations i
14:47deserve some kind of title and i know you're going to just argue that it's meaningless but it's not
14:54it's not meaningless to me it means a great deal i never said it was meaningless it means a lot
15:01it means everything to steffi i can't take that away from her
15:18yeah having those pictures on the internet was
15:22it was really humiliating even though i knew that they were fake no one else did and i was
15:28i was terrified that will or or someone else here at forrester would find them and
15:36and any hope of a relationship or where career would be gone forever
15:42sure going through something like that probably made you stronger and the thing that hurt the most
15:49is that remy was behind everything my closest friend i put my trust in him and the wrong person and
15:59it made me feel like i couldn't trust myself
16:04i hate that i probably made you feel the same way you couldn't trust yourself
16:12maybe you are right maybe everything did make me stronger everything everything that's pulled us
16:19apart i i want to move on i want i
16:25i want to be friends again do you really mean that
16:31i think i do yeah
16:34oh my gosh that makes me so happy oh thank you i promise i will never do anything to hurt
16:42or betray
16:42you ever again this makes me happy too oh my gosh i feel like i just i can't believe i
16:51have a chance to
16:51get everything back on track you know i mean i have this job at forrester and i have a chance
16:56to be
16:57friends with you again i just i'm i feel so lucky and i'm so excited
17:17i love my aunt katie and what she's doing here at logan it is nothing short of amazing and
17:25i would be honored to work alongside her and of course you
17:34but the thought of leaving forrester
17:39i just i can't i can't do it i i have to believe that my mom is going to become
17:47co-ceo and then everything will fall into place
18:01i can't believe what i'm hearing that you won't do this for me i will do anything for you
18:08you want the title let's find your title but the most important thing is you have a seat at the
18:12table
18:12right bitch steffi will still have the final say oh you're disappointed i get it and i don't
18:22do you know how much i love you and you know how much i love you
18:28and yes you are an incredible father and an incredible husband you are but i
18:35i have to say i have to say i am i'm deeply disappointed i see it
18:44look you can have anything you want from me anything you want
18:48but you can't have that i can't take that away from steffi
18:55you can't be my co-ceo
19:21it's just a nightmare for hope here's a look ahead there's a new sheriff in town
19:26leave that dusty old-fashioned house behind tell me he agreed to make you co-ceo
19:32i'm not some threat dylan promise me that you will stay away from all of us
