00:06I was just telling dad how happy I am, how grateful I am that I get to work at Forrester
00:11with him
00:12and be his co-CEO. Wait, that's when he dropped the bomb?
00:16Asked you to step aside so he could give your job to Brooke?
00:20Yep.
00:29You look surprisingly awake, considering I kept you up most of the night.
00:34It was worth it. I had a kiss and make up.
00:38I waited a lot more than just a kiss.
00:41Yeah, it was a night for the ages.
00:45It was fun, yeah.
00:49You know I'm not mad at you, right?
00:52I mean, I would have loved to have been co-CEO,
00:55but I do understand why you want to keep Steffi in that position.
01:01That's why I love you.
01:03So I'm standing.
01:12Oh, oh, God. Really, guys?
01:16What are we doing?
01:20Oh.
01:21You know, we have a meeting, right?
01:27Logan's debut is outperforming expectations.
01:30Yeah, well, yeah, it's a massive hit.
01:33We're still filling orders.
01:34Which I'm thrilled about.
01:35Don't get me wrong,
01:36but this is in large part because of Eric's designs.
01:40I mean, we can't be complacent.
01:41We've got to nail down the next collection.
01:44We need a new designer.
01:45So what's the latest with Hope?
01:48She's going to come through for us?

03:14of us ready to take forester into a vibrant powerful new future
03:26i can't imagine ridge asking you to step aside for brooke
03:32actually what am i saying she has an unfortunate habit of putting brooke first i'm not wrong about
03:40that well it's awful and i don't like you being put in the middle i'm not a fan of it
03:45either
03:47but i think this time i can let it slide why because apparently i i got through to death
04:01we have some resumes that have come in i've heard of this guy yeah he's good he has experience but
04:10he has a reputation for being real difficult next anybody else stand out you've got good but we don't
04:16have great we need great we need hope's vision i mean obviously i agree with you she's a perfect fit
04:24but
04:24it's this this all hangs on what happened last night
04:41so i'm sorry sweetheart last night i got it late for me no it's it's totally okay um
04:48how did the talk go please tell me he listened to you and agreed to make you co-ceo
05:02this never should have happened i mean i'm happy that it's all working out but i hate that you're
05:07even put in that position yeah having to defend myself what i have to offer i mean it'd be one
05:12thing if i wasn't pulling my weight around if i was dragging the company down well you're doing
05:17the complete opposite your father knows how valuable you are to forrester stephy okay he's
05:23never done with that not even for a second i do feel bad for dad though having to choose between
05:29me and brooke really thank god he made the right decision thank god he did but i did get help

06:15neckline hi guys and this fast up it would be epic hi there's a chairman you have a security problem

07:15great zendy good job really good job thank you i know you miss hope of the future but you're really
07:21coming to into your own here a couture i am enjoying the challenge uh you know getting the
07:29flow of the whole thing but i have to admit i'm so upset about hope for the future i miss
07:36it a lot
07:39i can only imagine how this feeling
07:42at the end of the day hope just she just wants things to get better with herself and her mother
07:48and
07:48brooke was talking to ridge about being co-ceo big ass considering it's his daughter's position
07:55yeah i think stephi would probably flip out and i can't imagine ridge stripping her of her rank it's
08:01not an easy thing for a father to ask of his daughter not going to happen at this point it's
08:07anybody's
08:07guess i mean we hope we none of us know what happened between brooke and ridge last night and brooke
08:13doesn't know that hope's contemplating a move here well maybe it'll all work out and she'll never have
08:19to know i mean i don't know either way hope's entire career is hanging in the balance you know
08:26if brooke gets co-ceo then hope just stays at forrester and and that's that but if not
08:35hope may be joining us here it means so much to see you advocating for yourself asking for your
08:44rightful place by ridges side at the company that you helped put on the map it no one deserves it
08:51more
08:52than you mom and i appreciate your belief in me more than you even know okay because uh logan women
09:00have for the most part had each other's backs you me aunt donna aunt katie it's kind of been us
09:09against the world only now it does kind of feel like things are different like we're spread out
09:17and things are just changing so rapidly not for you and me well maybe there does need to be a
09:25change
09:25so mom like we should stop settling for scraps and start demanding more and that's why i'm
09:32hoping that ridge agreed with you and he said yes
09:39i did go to rich with a full heart and good intentions and i spoke with him
09:49i told him everything that i wanted and needed
09:56and i am sorry hope it's not going to turn out exactly the way that you want it
10:05stephy is remaining on as rich's co-ceo
10:21brooke threw you under the bus she tried to get your father to demote you
10:27i think maybe brooke had a change of heart and she realized how ridiculous she was being
10:35brooke having some self-awareness yeah i know i know i was pretty shocked especially when i got her
10:41text message she texted you yeah yeah last night what did she say uh she said something like
10:51you're a great co-ceo and no one can do it better than you she really said that uh-huh
10:58brooke can you
10:59believe it i don't know what to say she's finally speaking the truth for once yeah i mean i i
11:09have to
11:10admit i i really don't want to care what she thinks but um it meant a lot to hear her
11:18say that
11:22hope's line is going to be revitalized we're not just going to let it fizzle out no we can't look
11:26it's a crucial component to our company we can't uh it's a very important demographic gen z's obsessed
11:32every girl i may ask when the next collection's coming out see still very popular look i get why
11:40we're concentrating on couture right now and granddad is fantastic happy back but look i agree we can't sit
11:45on hope for the future for too long that base hope built those customers there was a lot of
11:50as well as they come yeah we have to do well by our young customers okay and we will when
11:55hope
11:56has been super patient beyond understanding right and so have you and we appreciate it okay it'll
12:02happen it will happen because i promised my wife it would happen so it will happen right now we're
12:08going to deal with the damage that bill and katie left us because they took advantage of you all
12:13all right all right all right all right all right rich doesn't have it in him the motor zone daughter
12:19i'll believe it when i see it it is you never know well at least if brooke was co-ceo
12:26she could go to bat
12:26for hope yeah brooke would pretty much do anything for her daughter all right just like the dressmaker would
12:33do anything for his daughter so where does that leave hope hopefully here with her husband and her family
12:42any word no i mean hope's going to see her mom right now to find out what happened last night
12:49basically to find out you know what her entire future is gonna look like
12:58i tried sweetheart i really did rich said no he disregarded your wishes his own wife
13:11it wasn't really like that honey are you sure because it's kind of how it always is with them they
13:17disregard our feelings that's not true how can you see that think of the position that i was putting him
13:26in i knew it was going to be hard for him asking him to have stephy step down but i
13:33didn't really
13:34realize till i saw the look on his face how hurt he was so what are you saying imagine the
13:40sacrifice
13:41i was asking of him choosing his own daughter over me it was too much hope i couldn't do that
13:49to him
13:52so you chose rich over yourself
13:58over me
14:11so york actually gave you a compliment she gave you some credit yeah first time for everything
14:17right oh i guess so maybe she really does love your father
14:24katie using your designs without your permission was wrong yes it was a real slap in the face yeah
14:31absolutely although you kind of did kill it granddad yeah yeah yeah even if the execution wasn't up to our
14:39standards the designs were incredible no they had one good line and that's it the king is back thank
14:45you let's put this ugly chapter behind it amen to that amen to that amen to this the four of
14:51us pretty
14:52good you're katie and bill can't compete with this they can't it doesn't matter who they bring in
15:05nothing from hope i really i thought that i would hear from her all right well what's your gut telling
15:10i don't i i don't know dad i don't really have a feeling about what's going to happen my feeling
15:16is
15:17just that no matter what i want my wife to be respected and inspired wherever she is okay well she
15:22she will be respected here yeah logan is a sure thing we'll pull out all the stops we will set
15:28her
15:28up for success well i don't think hope doubts that it's a no-brainer there's a new sheriff in town
15:35leave that dusty old-fashioned house behind i know but for better or worse forrester is like
15:43it's intrinsic to hope she's attached to it she feels this this loyalty to the company that raised her up
15:49well i understand how she feels i mean i stuck it out for as long as i could and then
15:53i just
15:53couldn't take it anymore yeah best decision you ever made for you for your family but what if stephi
16:00is still co-ceo if stephi's still co-ceo it's just it's just a nightmare for hope she has to
16:08continue
16:09to defer to stephi which is it that might be the the push hope needs to jump ship and come
16:16to local
16:18i stood up for myself hope and more importantly i stood up for you and ridge did hear me and
16:26he
16:26agreed he said that he values you and all of your contributions at forrester but he just couldn't
16:34demote his daughter it was killing him and it killed me to see him like that so you caved and
16:43you gave up
16:44on yourself and you gave up on me no no he said that he was going to talk to stephi
16:50about reinstating
16:51your line he's going to get through to her
16:58get through to her
17:01mom that is never going to happen in all the years that i have worked at forrester i have never
17:08once
17:09felt her support it will never happen and if anything this is going to make things worse
17:16it's going to make things better you'll see
17:21there was so much at stake here you have no idea
17:28i love fridge he is my husband and i trust him and i need you to trust him too hope
17:36he said he's gonna make things right he's going to give you a place at forrester okay forrester is your
17:43family it's your home is it is it really right i used to tell myself that when i was a
17:54little kid
17:54you know i thought i was going to grow old there i created my line and i devoted my career
18:05to hope
18:06for the future and forrester and i get that you are sympathetic to ridge and the position that he is
18:14in
18:15but mom he sold you another empty promise
18:23and i i'm sick of the broken promises
18:30i'm sick of stephi undermining me at every turn
18:35i mean you really think it's fair to ask me to come into work with that pit in my stomach
18:42knowing that
18:43they are just looking for something to hold against me mommy
18:50i can't do it honey
18:56you have to they will be there together
19:07i needed you mom
19:11i needed you
19:15and you let me down
19:18you
