00:00really believe that you think that i'm letting you down you let yourself down too and you really
00:08convinced me that you were ready that you were ready to lead forester creations as co-ceo honey
00:16i was ready and then i thought about what i was putting rich through how i was putting him in
00:21the
00:21middle of his daughter and me and i really don't need to be co-ceo if i'm going to be
00:27damaging
00:27their relationship but damaging ours is no problem oh but just because i understand and respect
00:36rich's decision doesn't mean that i'm not i needed you you i needed you to finally stand up for
00:41yourself to finally stand up for me but once again you choose rich over everything
01:18right
01:40Wow, that is beautiful.
01:42You're right about that.
01:43Thank you, guys.
01:45I can't believe I questioned the hemline at work, doesn't it?
01:47No, you nailed it, Sunday.
01:49You did.
01:49Classic Forrester elegance.
01:51That's the key word, Forrester.
01:53Yeah, not Logan.
01:54No, not Logan.
01:55Forget about Logan.
01:57They will never have this kind of quality, Forrester quality, ever again.
02:02So, finally, clear customs.
02:04Thank goodness.
02:06Uh, any word from Halt?
02:09No.
02:11I want to take work to say I'm co-CEO or I'm not.
02:14I just, I don't know if the radio silence is a good thing or a bad thing.
02:19I don't know what I'm hoping for.
02:22I mean, if Brooke is co-CEO, then Hope probably will stay with Forrester and I won't have the opportunity
02:29to bring her to Logan.
02:30In turn, it means you don't rock the boat with Brooke.
02:33Okay, well, either way, Hope has a decision to make.
02:37Yeah, and a decision could affect the future of Logan.
02:55Oh, I like the way the fabric moves.
02:57Look at that, yeah.
02:58Yes, light, fluid, feels great on the skin.
03:02If you could change one thing about it, though, what would it be?
03:05Way to put her on the spot, RJ.
03:07Right.
03:08That's all right.
03:09It's a lucidary question.
03:10Just be honest.
03:11He can take it.
03:12Well, small detail.
03:15The zipper's kind of hard to reach for someone by themselves.
03:18Okay, that's a good point.
03:20We'll, uh, we'll make that adjustment.
03:24And, and thank you for asking the question.
03:27Thanks for coming in last minute.
03:28No problem.
03:28See you soon.
03:29Bye.
03:31You know, I cannot wait to work on this next line with you guys.
03:35It's fine, isn't it?
03:36Yeah.
03:36Nothing more exciting than Clotur.
03:38But you know, we'll get to balance ideas off with Jeff.
03:40It's good.
03:41Yeah.
03:42He's in it.
03:44You all right?
03:46No.
03:46Yeah, it's just, uh, there are a lot of voices in Clotur right now,
03:50and it makes me miss having a bit more agency with Hope for the Future.
03:58I wasn't choosing between you and Ridge.
04:01I was buckled, Mom.
04:04You caved to Ridge.
04:06Oh, no, it wasn't like that, really.
04:10It was, in fact, the complete opposite.
04:15I now know, more than ever, that Ridge really does have respect for me.
04:21My role in the company.
04:24Just not as his co-CEO.
04:26Okay.
04:27Point is, we got what we wanted.
04:31Mom, I don't know what you mean by we.
04:33I'm talking about...
04:34Because I don't want to answer to Steffi for the rest of my life.
04:37Your line is going to be up and running soon,
04:40and Ridge is going to make sure you have a place at Forrester.
04:43Have you believed him?
04:46Of course I believe him.
04:48He's my husband.
04:50And I'm your daughter.
04:54Look at me, your daughter.
05:05Hey.
05:06I know you're frustrated with Hope for the Future.
05:08I get it.
05:09But I just don't know when we're going to bring the line back.
05:12I'm sorry.
05:13You know what it's like, huh?
05:15When you really pour yourself into something.
05:17The payoff at the end, seeing your designs hit the runway.
05:20Of course.
05:21It makes all the hard work worth it.
05:23Yes, it does.
05:24And look, Zundi, I'm sorry you're not getting that payoff right now.
05:27But you will at some point.
05:30At some point?
05:30Is that supposed to be encouraging?
05:32Well, would you rather hear that it's canceled, that it's over?
05:35Do you want to hear that?
05:35Listen, I'm grateful for the work.
05:37It's just...
05:39Have there been any discussions?
05:40Is there any timelines?
05:42Don't let that bother you.
05:43You're here with us right now.
05:45Yeah?
05:45We need you.
05:46Look at me.
05:47You're valued.
05:51Well, I suppose I can take some comfort knowing that we've been putting out some pretty great
05:55designs for Couture, especially my last one.
05:58Yeah, that one's going to turn heads for sure.
06:00Yeah.
06:01You know, I was even thinking we should ask Electra to start working on something to pair
06:05with it.
06:06I mean, a neckline like that is practically begging for a necklace.
06:09I mean, same with the so-called Ganser gown.
06:12We're bringing up the sleeves on there.
06:14She would love to throw some bracelets on that model.
06:16I think you're right.
06:17Let's get those catches to it.
06:18Email them.
06:19What can they do then?
06:20Can email them.
06:22Email them.
06:25But we need help here.
06:26We need the name recognition.
06:28Yeah, and she's a Logan.
06:29This is where she belongs.
06:30Okay.
06:30She's made a tremendous impact on the fashion world.
06:33Her name does carry a lot of clout.
06:36She's a built-in following.
06:38But I just can't get out of my head what Donna said.
06:41I mean, if Hope leaves Forrester and leaves Brooke, it could cause World War III and our family.
06:48I have no doubt that Ridge said all the right things to you, that he made you feel like you
06:55were still relevant in the company and that my line would be coming back.
07:28It will, honey.
07:29Only it never does.
07:31I know this has been difficult for you.
07:33Oh my gosh.
07:34Difficult.
07:36Difficult.
07:37Mom.
07:39I had to fire my own brother because Steffi mandated it.
07:45I was shocked by that.
07:47I thought he showed promise.
07:49Yes, he does.
07:50And the only reason that changed is because Thomas wanted a seat at the table and so a Logan got
07:56pushed out.
07:57Logan, that's not a great subject to Forrester right now.
08:01And understandably so.
08:02After what Katie and Bill did to Eric.
08:05But thankfully Eric's back at Forrester where he belongs.
08:09But still, it stings what Katie did.
08:12But the Logan name, the Logan women who still work at Forrester shouldn't have to suffer the consequences for it.
08:20My line shouldn't have to suffer because of it.
08:24Honey.
08:25Look.
08:26We just need to regroup.
08:29And focus on couture.
08:32Oh my gosh.
08:33You are just parroting Steffi's talking points now.
08:37Wow.
08:38Because it's true.
08:41I don't buy it.
08:43It is just a tactic to keep hope for the future marginalized and on the shelf.
08:49And there might have been a different outcome if you had stood up for yourself, Mom.
08:54If you had stood up for me.
09:08So it feels like you're sticking around this time.
09:12Does it?
09:13I mean, like, I'm always going to be traveling, but definitely feels like a good time to make L.A.
09:19a home base.
09:21And Forrester creations in particular.
09:25You don't have a problem with that, do you?
09:28No.
09:29Why would I?
09:32I don't know.
09:33I was picking up some vibes earlier.
09:36Don't read too much into it.
09:40Okay.
09:42Look, Zenday, we're family.
09:45Okay, we're cousins.
09:46I've got a lot of respect for you.
09:48You have a ton of experience in this industry, which means I have a lot to learn from.
09:53If you're willing to teach me.
09:56But I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't want me being here to upset you.
10:06Why are we even speculating about this?
10:09We know what Brooke is saying to Hope.
10:11Oh, honey, I'm just, I'm so sorry.
10:14I mean, lots of tears.
10:16But, uh, Mr. Destiny, he can't possibly disappoint his daughter, so Steffi's still CEO, and I'm not, and your line
10:25will never see the light of day.
10:27Well, I hope she holds it together better than that.
10:31Not likely.
10:31But you're, you're right.
10:33I don't see Ridge demoting his daughter.
10:35But he will string Brooke along, give her just enough hope, and then, as usual, he will let her down.
10:43You know, on the one hand, I want hope here.
10:46On the other hand, I don't want to have to see her hurt.
10:49Of course it means a lot to her.
10:51Yeah, it, well, it did, it did mean a lot to her for many, many years, but if, if what
10:58my dad's saying is true, then, well, something tells me Logan will mean a lot more to her.
11:07You know how important Hope for the Future is to me.
11:10And not just because it's a fashion line, because of its message to empower women, to bring social awareness, of
11:19course, a very important message that reached so many people around the world.
11:24And I am so proud of you, Hope.
11:27Really?
11:28Yes, really.
11:30You were given that platform when you were very young.
11:34Anybody would have folded under that kind of pressure, but you didn't.
11:38You kept at it.
11:40And you made Hope for the Future an incredible success.
11:45But you know this industry.
11:47I mean, there's ups and downs, and right now, it's a down time.
11:52But Hope for the Future will come back.
11:55You'll have your turn.
11:56And Ridge is going to talk to Steffi.
11:59Mom, nothing is going to change her opinion of me.
12:01Nothing.
12:03I understand why you would feel that.
12:05It's not a feeling.
12:06It is a fact.
12:08I'm very confident in Ridge.
12:11All right.
12:13So then how did you leave things last night?
12:18Well, after our conversation, one thing led to another, and Ridge and I...
12:42Ridge dropped this bombshell on you.
12:45Something that you knew would devastate your daughter, and you just...
12:50What?
12:51Hope?
12:52Ridge is my husband.
12:53I love him.
12:59Oh, please.
13:01Don't be that way.
13:12Look, I'm not trying to step on any toes.
13:15I just want to be a team player.
13:18I get it.
13:20It is a good feeling, though.
13:23Camaraderie, the sense of accomplishment.
13:24But when the team ends up dissolving...
13:27I know where you're coming from, Zendaya.
13:30It'd be crazy not to bring Hope for the Future back.
13:32Especially with you and Thomas designing.
13:39You know, when you first came back to town, it was like the arrival of royalty.
13:50All those heads turning.
13:53Especially the ladies, and...
13:55Yeah, maybe a piece of me felt some type of way about Ridge Forster Jr.
14:01strutting around the office again.
14:03Strutting?
14:04Oh, yeah.
14:05You strut.
14:07But...
14:08I appreciate you saying that you don't want your presence here to upset me.
14:12And if it doesn't...
14:14I like having more family around.
14:16You do have a lot more to learn.
14:19But I'll admit it.
14:21You are good with a pencil, RJ.
14:24Anyone can see that.
14:26I mean a lot coming from you.
14:32And we're in this together.
14:38Appreciate it, cuz.
14:40You got it.
14:41Cuz.
14:43So Hope didn't take it well.
14:46No.
14:46Oh, she feels that I didn't stand up for myself, or for her, and that I caved to you, once
14:53again.
14:53Yeah, just give me some time, she's gotta process.
14:57Yeah, but my heart breaks for her, bitch.
14:59She seems so lost, and so disillusioned, professionally.
15:03Well, I mean, that's gonna change.
15:04We're gonna get through the couture line, and then we'll focus on Hope for the future.
15:07And she will get her groove back, I promise you.
15:10Okay.
15:10You're probably right.
15:12It's just that I really love working with my daughter.
15:16Hmm.
15:16And I hate to see her feeling so unhappy, and so unfulfilled.
15:22It's the same with Steffi.
15:23She gets upset about work, and that's the only thing that matters, and then the problem gets solved, and...
15:29I mean, it's okay.
15:30It's gonna be the same with Hope.
15:33And you and your daughter, you will work together for years to come.
15:48Oh, no.
15:51Oh, no.
15:56Ridge chose Steffi.
15:59He chose Steffi over your mom.
16:01Yeah, but not only that,
16:02but my mom is supporting him.
16:06What?
16:07No, wait.
16:08What?
16:08Wait, what?
16:09You said...
16:11You said that your mom, after you talked to her, she was all fired up,
16:15and she was, like, ready to leave Forrester with Rick.
16:18Well, that lasted maybe just a few hours before she's fully backing Steffi yet again.
16:25I don't...
16:26I don't understand.
16:28I do.
16:30Sadly.
16:32My mom will choose Ridge over anything and anyone,
16:39even if it goes against her own best interests,
16:43even if it goes against her own daughter.
16:46And so now I'm stuck here,
16:49holding this hurt and this anger
16:52and this all-too-familiar feeling of her abandoning me for Ridge yet again.
16:58I'm afraid to ask what this means for hope for the future.
17:03Ridge promised that he would talk to Steffi about it.
17:06Oh, God.
17:07That will do any good.
17:08I know, because once Steffi makes up her mind about something...
17:13Is my mom really this gullible?
17:16Is she?
17:16Like, she really thinks that everything will just work out
17:19because Ridge is maybe going to have a two-minute conversation with Steffi about it?
17:25I'm really sorry.
17:29That's not even the worst part.
17:37Do you want to know how bad it gets?
17:45After she decided with Ridge,
17:47after she decided he's right,
17:52forget everything,
17:54do you want to know what she did?
17:57She jumped into bed with him.
18:01You better be kidding me.
18:03No, I'm not.
18:04As if that is a perfectly reasonable response
18:08to getting shut down by your husband yet again
18:12and getting demeaned
18:15and him choosing his daughter over you.
18:19Just...
18:22I am, um...
18:23I'm really...
18:26disillusioned.
18:29I don't understand her.
18:31I don't understand why
18:33she doesn't stick up for herself,
18:35why she doesn't fight
18:38for her dreams,
18:39for me.
18:43I just...
18:45want her to see that she's worth so much more.
18:52And now,
18:53I guess this means
18:54I get to, uh,
18:56tolerate Steffi's...
18:57No, no.
18:57No, no.
18:59I'm so sick of this.
19:00We're done.
19:00We're done with that.
19:01We're not doing this anymore.
19:03You're not going down this road
19:05anymore.
19:06You are too talented
19:08and wise
19:09and intelligent
19:10and a hard-working
19:11and Forrester may not see that,
19:13but too bad
19:15because you're not going to sit around
19:16waiting for this to resolve itself.
19:18It is time.
19:20Come and work with me
19:22and your aunt.
19:24You work with us
19:26at Logan.
