00:18I'd like to tell you that I'm very happy first and foremost to be your wife and now there's
00:25this new prospect of running the company together I know it's not going to be an easy discussion with
00:33your daughter but I do believe that Forrester will thrive with me as co-CEO of Forrester Creations
00:50I'm really impressed with how you handled your promotion transitioning from sourcing assistant
00:55to product developer that is a tremendous responsibility one I'm incredibly grateful
00:59for well it really shows Jesse your work on the Berlin project that was critical well done
01:08it's an honor to be working for you Steffi please let me know if there's anything else I can be
01:12doing
01:13to keep things running smoothly we'll chat at your next review thank you thank you
01:22nice this is a nice surprise my morning meeting got pushed and I thought you could use one of these
01:28oh thank you my hero I hope you weren't waiting too long are you kidding me I loved it I
01:36could watch
01:36you all day my amazing co-CEO wife
01:48so have you given it any more thought
01:51oh it's practically been the only thing on my mind
01:55oh well perhaps you're uh uh reconsidering I for one just my opinion think you would look like
02:04really sexy here at at Logan headquarters
02:07well it certainly would be nice to see you all day
02:11see hey now you're getting it now yeah because you know why because we could do some of this
02:16at the office we could also do a little you know that
02:20what
02:21you certainly drive a hard bargain sir
02:23that's what I'm saying let me go get the paperwork all ready to
02:26I am yeah I love you but Forrester might actually start to feel like home with my mom as co
02:38-CEO
02:42Eric's not here um you want a cup of coffee or fruit or pastry or nothing
02:47no I'm I'm good I uh you know I could barely sleep after our conversation last night I
02:56yeah you were pretty upset I am still upset Katie
02:59well I'm sorry maybe I shouldn't have confided in you
03:01just tell me you're not gonna do this tell me you're not gonna lure
03:04hope from Forrester and Brooke
03:21I'm sorry I'm I'm I'm literally freaking out yeah yeah clearly you can't do this okay you
03:27you can't hire hope at Logan you you stealing her away from her mother like that doing that
03:34I'm not stealing anyone away exactly what you're doing okay just calm down
03:39all right hope hasn't made a decision I have not made a decision good because
03:43there's only one decision this can't happen
03:48well you seem confident my mom said she'd speak with rich
03:54yeah yeah I know essentially asking him to demote his own daughter
04:01my mom is the woman who dedicated her soul to that company and has brought in tens of millions
04:09of dollars over the years I know this is my point Brooke is more than worthy so are you you
04:16both
04:16deserve respect and yet neither of you have gotten much of it well I think my mom is starting to
04:21see
04:21that now she's standing up for herself for me which means no more answering to Steffi
04:31you're top dogs you and Ridge yeah yeah co-top dogs there is no one that is better suited for
04:41I'm proud of you sweet I love you I really appreciate you saying that saying these kind words
04:49but I am I'm I'm obsessed with what I do really working with my father it feels like a dream
04:55come
04:56true listen you understand Steffi is not just my co-ceo she's my daughter what are you asking me is
05:03it
05:03is a pretty big deal I know I understand it's not going to be easy for you rich but it
05:10is time
05:11it's time for a changing of the guard I just I need to figure out a few things talk it
05:17over with
05:17Carter see where he is you know no no Ridge this needs to happen now Steffi must be told today
05:36Donna nothing is set in stone not even close you have to take another route hope cannot be an
05:43option hope is an adult okay she makes her own decisions whatever happens at the ball is in her
05:48court look at me Katie I'm literally begging you I'm begging you okay this is going to ruin our
05:56sisterhood ruin our family and you know what hope she would never do this to Brooke anyway so you know
06:04you might as well not even bother asking it's not gonna happen I'm sick of watching my mom
06:11be subservient to Steffi if Forrester wants to focus on legacy then put my mother front and center
06:18where she belongs yeah you love Brooke you see her value you see her talent you want to protect her
06:26that's how I feel about you and it sucks I'm not gonna lie it really sucks to see you constantly
06:32frustrated especially when there's a solution really really close just waiting to welcome you
06:43I do feel welcome here Liam by you by my aunt Katie even your dad even my dad surprisingly
06:55but the thought of leaving my mom she doesn't even know that I'm contemplating this maybe I don't know
07:05maybe changes in the air at Forrester and I hope that's true for your sake for your sake I I
07:11really
07:11hope it is but if it's not if Brooke doesn't get promoted can you promise me you will leave that
07:21place I have faith it's going to work out not only for me but for my mother too
07:36I mean I was born into this company legend has it I took my first steps downstairs in the lobby
07:41I know it's it's it's part of you honey yeah yeah it really is my identity I really don't know
07:48who I
07:48would be with without this place no and it's meaningful to you to be carrying the torch for
07:55your family and for our kids and I mean everyone's future and I'm really grateful to have this place
08:04to be working with my father all of these years now that my grandfather's back and Thomas is working
08:10remotely Electra's here Zende's here it feels like really wonderful happy times at Forrester Creations
08:29yeah you know Steffi's done an amazing job yeah I'm not disputing that but how did she get that
08:36position in the first place she seduced Bill into handing oh don't do that let's not do that please
08:41okay look what about everything I've done Brooke's bedroom line the men's line the belief formula I need
08:49to know that you heard me and not just as your wife but as a successful businesswoman who's
08:54contributed a lot okay good good then you don't need to go to Carter you need to spell this out
09:03to
09:04your daughter with unmistakable clarity Ridge and I need you to be sensitive to her and I
09:10know you will be she just needs to understand this she needs to know that I am going to be
09:18your new
09:19partner I've laid my heart out to you now you have to go act on it
09:40I know it bothers you when Brooke and I have issues I hate it I hate it we were raised
09:47to stick together to to
09:48have each other's back and not stab each other in the back like this yeah I agree and I understand
09:56that
09:56this is complicated then why push it I'm not it wasn't even my idea oh right right right it was
10:07Liam's yeah I was okay fine fine I understand how Liam and why Liam would want to work with hope
10:14it's sweet okay but he is not taking into account what what this would do to Brooke's relationship with you
10:23or
10:23or to hope okay I understand that I have been saying the same thing for weeks but your company comes
10:29first right even before
10:32our sister oh that is so unfair but that's exactly what you're doing my god I'm trying to prevent you
10:40from doing something that you cannot take back so just get it out of
10:44your mind you cannot use hope okay build your your own company on your own time with your own people
10:54don't poach our niece
10:59poach oh you mean like I poached Eric oh I mean are you jumping on that bandwagon now Donna because
11:05you know
11:06that he came to me that he was excited to design I know I know that good thank you and
11:12I also want you
11:12to know that I am never going to apologize for using our name it's my name too and I am
11:19just as
11:19much a Logan as you and Brooke wow you got here quickly well I was really glad to get your
11:31text I
11:31mean you are pretty much all I have been talking about with Liam you know our conversation your desire
11:37to be CEO and I really appreciate our talk you got me to take a good hard look at my
11:44life and my career
11:45and you're right I have been laying low I just was focused on not making waves keeping the peace
11:54I yes and uh have you talked French I did and how did it go uh well he was a
12:06little hesitant at first
12:08but then I was explaining what it would do for the company to have us both running it together you
12:15know being at the helm as a power couple as a team like Stephanie and Eric were and he started
12:21to
12:22warm up to the idea oh mom this is fantastic news it is but he doesn't want to create a
12:30riff
12:30between himself and his daughter and I don't want that either but I do believe that he thinks this
12:37would be the best move for Forrester he's supposed to be meeting with Steffi right now
12:47let's cut to the chase you and your company need Forrester creations and while we'd love to come to an
12:52agreement this lowball offer that I'm looking at Ted is just not going to cut it now if you want
12:57to
12:57come to a deal if you're serious about collaborating come back to me with a better number okay I look
13:02forward to reading your proposal thanks I think I'm about to make another lucrative deal yeah yeah
13:10reinforce Grandad's next collection oh that's great well not that we need the news or anything
13:15Grandad's return is already epic as it is it is indeed things are really perfect right now I was
13:23actually just talking to Finn and I was telling him how great it is that Grandad's back and you know
13:28I
13:28get to work with you I really love it the three of us especially us as co-CEOs
13:45okay just for my edification what exactly do you mean by making it on my own do you know what
13:52I'm
13:52saying no I'm not sure I do I think you need to clarify because it sounds like you're demeaning what
13:58I've accomplished what no my god I'm being the only voice of reason in this entire crazy scenario
14:09I'm I'm trying to prevent you from doing something that you can't take back okay you're jumping to
14:15conclusions you don't know what's gonna happen you're thinking of the worst case scenario you know
14:20what I know you and Brooke better than I know anyone and I know exactly how Brooke would respond
14:29and you know what I think you know too don't you right you know you said that this is highly
14:36confidential that I am I'm sworn to secrecy and you know what I'm never gonna tell anybody
14:42not even Brooke good thank you and you know why because it's never gonna come to fruition
14:51all right so you can just put your feelers out there put your feelers out there and find
14:55a star your next big hit literally anyone anyone other than hope
15:09Ridge is meeting with stuffy as we speak yes he wanted to mull things over but I said no
15:17I insisted it had to be today well good for you mom standing up for yourself I am I'm impressed
15:25as of today I am going to be co-CEO of Forrester Creations
15:37Stephanie you uh you've done some great things for this company I'm very proud of you
15:42oh I really appreciate that look I know I've been your co-CEO for quite some time but
15:48part of me feels like I'm just getting started well you're gonna keep doing great things for years
15:54to come so oh you can count on that we're really gonna make an impact I feel like we're gonna
15:58make
15:58history dad and that's that's the thing about a company like this right everybody wants to
16:06contribute something and and I'm talking about making an impact I mean you know look at Brooke
16:16yeah yeah of course yeah you know what I mean she's done so much over the years she's just she's
16:21um
16:22really is a force of nature right I mean she's an icon
16:28why are we talking about Brooke
16:33oh oh I see this is a this is about hope for the future dad you know where I stand
16:39we need to be
16:39laser focused on granddad and couture don't let your wife get in your ear okay this is not about
16:44that it's not about hope for the future it's um it's about Brooke okay what about her
16:53I don't know we were you know we've been talking and and she just she feels maybe
16:59maybe it wouldn't be the worst idea if she was uh co-CEO
17:06like the three of us co-CEOs together oh my dad come on could you imagine we would never agree
17:13on
17:13anything that is funny oh my gosh I don't I don't think that's what she's suggesting really
17:22I don't understand are you stepping down
