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.
00:18Her decades of work has been taken for granted at Forrester.
00:25Surely Ridge must see that.
00:27But for Steffi to be her boss, for her to hold my mother's fate in her hands, it's ridiculous.
00:34Well, Steffi also holds your fate in her hands.
00:39I know, and I am tired of it.
00:42I do deserve better.
00:44Yeah.
00:45And so does my mom.
00:47Yeah.
00:48And if my mother is CEO, then Steffi will not be able to wield as much power.
00:54And my line might actually have a fighting chance.
00:58As much as I hate to admit this, Liam, I need this.
01:05My future at Forrester depends on it.
01:09Is that for International?
01:10Yes.
01:10Great.
01:15Well, I'm glad that wasn't something heavier.
01:17I'm sorry, man.
01:18I'm just, I'm having a rough day.
01:20Yeah, I can see that.
01:23What's going on?
01:25Between you and me, I gotta tell you how I really feel about what's been going on around here.
01:35Daphne Rose's assistant.
01:38I mean, that sounds like a job that could go anywhere, right?
01:40She's internationally in demand after all.
01:44Yeah.
01:44I mean, I feel really lucky.
01:47I always wanted you to succeed.
01:50Dylan.
01:51Even at Forrester.
02:09I'll be honest, you working at Forrester doesn't really feel the same as it was if I had started when
02:14we were still friends.
02:18I wish we could be again.
02:21Yeah, 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.
02:39I really wish that that wasn't the case.
02:41I get it.
02:42And I don't want to upset you.
02:44I mean, completely the opposite.
02:47But I need this opportunity.
02:49I feel like my life literally depends on it.
02:52I know.
02:54I understand.
02:59Yeah, I get it, man.
03:00It's been tense around here lately.
03:01But Bill and Katie did.
03:03It rocked us, man.
03:04And 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.
03:13And 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 Ridge.
03:32What if she doesn't?
03:35She has to.
03:36Yeah.
03:37Huh.
03:37Because the situation at Forrester is untenable.
03:40That's what I mean.
03:41I know it's untenable.
03:41But what if it...
03:42If it stays untenable?
03:47Will 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?
04:00I answer to Steffi.
04:04Ridge.
04:05It's not right.
04:07It's not just about the title.
04:09It's recognition that I am and always have been an integral 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...
04:24She 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.
04:33But she didn't agree with her.
04:37Ridge, please, tell me you didn't agree with her.
04:50Look, I'm...
04:51I'm not going to stand in your way of you taking this job.
04:54I know how much you need it.
04:57But...
04:57I do have some conditions.
05:01Okay?
05:02You need to focus on work.
05:05Not 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.
05:14But especially Will.
05:18If you can accept those conditions, then...
05:22I 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.
05:29And have a steady job, Forrester no less.
05:33But...
05:33And most importantly, to hopefully make amends with you.
05:40Then they hope you don't think being put on couture is some kind of demotion.
05:43Carter, 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.
05:52I'm here to create.
05:54But now the golden child is back in town.
05:56And Steffi hates hope.
05:57So all this love, this passion, poop, scomp, doesn't matter.
06:01And it has nothing to do with business.
06:03It's all personal.
06:04I am getting screwed here, Carter.
06:07And 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, you belong with us.
06:29And Logan, sky's the limit, you know?
06:32No more roadblocks.
06:33No more just waiting around to be recognized.
06:35Katie is doing something really, really special.
06:38And she and my dad, they're coming off of a big win.
06:40There's a lot of momentum.
06:41They want to capitalize on that.
06:43It, anything 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.
06:57And she went out into the world and she made a name for herself completely independent of Forrester.
07:03And you can do that, too.
07:06I don't have a designer.
07:08I don't have a team.
07:09Thomas would never leave.
07:12What about Zenday?
07:14He's a Forrester, too.
07:15Look, I just, I have to manifest that my mother is going to be the co-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.
07:49She respects you.
07:52Okay, we're going to have to agree to disagree on this, even if what you're saying is true.
07:57And she does see me as an equal.
07:59She certainly is wielding her power over my daughter.
08:02Hope deserves some respect, and so does her line.
08:05And that means not having to answer to Steffi.
08:07Because she's the boss.
08:09Steffi has earned her position.
08:11And so is Hope.
08:13Hope, 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.
08:27It's not fair to Hope.
08:29Why is she the one being disrespected?
08:30She's not being disrespected.
08:32Her line isn't being disrespected.
08:33My dad came back.
08:34We have to focus on Couture right now.
08:37Okay.
08:39So, we can revisit this when I'm co-CEO, right?
08:45Right, Rich?
08:48I'm sorry.
08:49I love you so much, but I can't do this.
08:53I can't take this away from Steffi.
08:55How would that be fair?
08:57She's been running this company for a long time.
08:59She's been doing a great job.
09:01And taking this away from her is, is, is an emotion.
09:05It's nothing else.
09:06That's just what it is.
09:08And I'm sorry.
09:09I can't do that to my daughter.
09:21Oh, it's nice to talk to you again.
09:23Even 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?
09:37Living 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.
09:50That I didn't care about you.
09:52I'm not the only one that's been traumatized.
09:55And what Ivy did to you was, was awful.
10:00Making you believe that Will broke up with you.
10:04I 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.
10:17Yeah.
10:18Yeah, you're probably right.
10:21Besides, you've had it.
10:23You'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.
10:51Have you spoke to Bridget and Stephan?
10:52No, they're too busy with Eric coming back.
10:55I gotta say, Carter.
10:57There's no way that I'm playing second fiddle to RJ.
11:00Yeah, he's my family.
11:01And 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.
11:14And 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 so
11:22that she can pass that on to you.
11:25But here's a thought.
11:26Wouldn't it be great if you didn't have to ask for respect?
11:31If you didn't have to worry about whether or not your ideas would get the green light?
11:35I mean, what if the lights were always green?
11:38Just green, green, green.
11:39Everywhere you go, green.
11:40That's a lot of green.
11:41Also, green represents new, fresh, right?
11:44I mean, new direction, new opportunity.
11:46That, if 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, Rich?
11:59What about my status?
12:01What about what I've accomplished?
12:03But you don't need protection.
12:05You're Brooke Logan.
12:06You set the bar.
12:06What 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.
12:14But 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.
12:30That means she owns her own destiny.
12:32Doesn't matter what she does for the company.
12:34All of her losses, her failures, her successes.
12:36Whatever it is, she gets to own them.
12:40And I deserve it.
12:41After all the years of contributions that I put into Forrester Creations, I deserve some kind of title.
12:48And I know you're going to just argue that it's meaningless, but it's not.
12:51It's not meaningless.
12:52To me, it means a great deal.
12:53I never said it was meaningless.
12:55It means a lot.
12:57It means everything to Steffi.
13:02I can't take that away from her.
13:14Yeah, having those pictures on the internet was really humiliating.
13:19Even though I knew that they were fake, no one else did.
13:22And I was terrified that Will or someone else here at Forrester would find them.
13:29And any hope of a relationship or a career would be gone forever.
13:35I'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.
13:45My closest friend.
13:47I put my trust in him.
13:49In the wrong person.
13:50And it made me feel like I couldn't trust myself.
13:55I hate that I probably made you feel the same way.
13:58That you couldn't trust yourself.
14:01Maybe you are right.
14:03Maybe everything did make me stronger.
14:05Everything.
14:07Everything that's pulled us apart.
14:09I want to move on.
14:10I want...
14:13I want to be friends again.
14:15Do you really mean that?
14:18I think I do, yeah.
14:21Oh my gosh.
14:22That makes me so happy.
14:25I promise I will never do anything to hurt or betray you ever again.
14:29And this makes me happy too.
14:34Oh my gosh.
14:35I feel like I just, I can't believe I have a chance to get everything back on track.
14:38You know?
14:38I mean, I have this job at Forrester.
14:40And I have a chance to be friends with you again.
14:44I just, I'm, I feel so lucky.
14:46And so excited.
15:00I love my Aunt Katie.
15:02And what she's doing here at Logan, it is nothing short of amazing.
15:07And I would be honored to work alongside her.
15:10And, of course, you.
15:15But the thought of leaving Forrester?
15:19I 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, I have to, I can't believe what I'm hearing.
15:40That you won't do this for me?
15:43I will do anything for you.
15:45You want a title?
15:46Let's find you a title.
15:46But the most important thing is you have a seat at the table, right?
15:50Bitch, Steffi will still have the final say.
15:52I know when you're disappointed.
15:53I get it.
15:55And I don't, you know how much I love you.
16:00And you know how much I love you.
16:02And yes, you are an incredible father and an incredible husband.
16:06You are, but I, I have to say I am, I'm deeply disappointed.
16:14I see it.
16:17Look, you can have anything you want from me, anything you want.
16:20But you can't have that.
16:23I can't take that away from Steffi.
16:26You can't be my co-CEO.
16:50It's just a nightmare for hope.
16:52Here's a look ahead.
16:52There's a new sheriff in town.
16:54Leave that dusty old-fashioned house behind.
16:56Tell me he agreed to make you co-CEO.
16:59I'm not some threat, Dylan.
17:00Promise me that you will stay away from all of us.
17:26You can't be my co-CEO.
17:29You can't be my co-CEO.
17:31You can't be my co-CEO.
