00:05Okay, listen, Steffi, if you just called me here to interrogate me, I'm not asking you
00:10what's going on.
00:12I already know.
00:14Well, that makes one of us.
00:16Oh, please.
00:17Did you really think that I wasn't going to be able to put it together?
00:21Realize what you're doing, Hope?
00:24It's time to put a stop to it.
00:26Now.
00:31Hope could be in trouble.
00:33There is no reason to panic.
00:35We're not panicking, but Hope is at force or meeting with Steffi.
00:40I mean, we have a right to be concerned.
00:42Yeah, I'm just going like, why did I encourage her to go?
00:46We have no idea what Steffi wants.
00:47We have no idea what Hope's walking in.
00:49Well, we know that Hope is smart and she understands how important the secret is.
00:53She's not going to do anything to tip Steffi off.
00:56We have been careful.
00:57Nobody knows that Hope is working here.
01:00Unless they do, because Steffi somehow found out.
01:17I wish I'd been here for the preview.
01:19I just had so much on my mind.
01:20It's okay, he'll be here for the big day.
01:24Did R.J. leave?
01:25I wanted to congratulate him once again on his accomplishments as a new designer.
01:31He's really coming into his own.
01:32Yes, R.J. and Xandei both.
01:34Yeah, the future's looking bright.
01:36Yeah.
01:36It is.
01:38Sad I can't say the same thing about Katie at Logan.
01:47Sorry I'm late for a session.
01:49I haven't been your psychiatrist in a long time, Deacon.
01:53So you're not going to charge me for keeping you waiting then?
01:55Well, you can pay it later.
01:58Ooh.
01:59Tonight, is that your place?
02:01You know, I've got to tell you, as much as I loved having you as my doctor, this is a
02:05hell of a lot more fun.
03:02You keep kissing me like that.
03:05I might have to cancel my schedule for the rest of the day.
03:07Oh, man, I wish.
03:09My mate wouldn't do that to your patients.
03:11Would you?
03:12Very tempted.
03:13I'm going to take that as a compliment.
03:15You should.
03:16Yeah.
03:17You know, you made me feel so good when you were my doctor.
03:21Are there anything compared to this?
03:38I'm sorry.
03:40I didn't mean to bring up an uncomfortable subject.
03:43No, it's okay.
03:44Katie's on your mind.
03:45I get that.
03:46Yeah, and this preview reminded me of the last time we saw your designs on the runway, Aaron.
03:53Yeah, well, that was a long time ago, frankly, and now I'm back where I belong, Pat Forrester.
03:58You are back, and better than ever, leading this Logan one-hit wonder behind you.
04:03Yeah, you know, I'm very disappointed in Katie, but in spite of that, I don't really wish her any ill
04:13will, I don't.
04:14Oh, none of us do.
04:16It's just tough to imagine what the future really looks like, right?
04:19Whatever her future is depends on her next showing.
04:24Well, according to Katie, it's all coming together.
04:28How is that possible?
04:30How? Who is the mystery designer this time?
04:33Well, you two calm down.
04:35There is no reason to believe that Steffi knows anything.
04:39Okay, you tell me, why would she want to see Logan?
04:41It could have nothing to do with us.
04:43I mean, as far as they're concerned, Hope is still an employee there.
04:47You could be right.
04:48On the other hand, Steffi is a savvy businesswoman.
04:51She's tapped into speculation and rumors, and after Eric's defection, I'm sure she's on high alert.
04:57Yeah, she even gets a whiff that something's off.
05:00She starts connecting dots.
05:02Oh, God.
05:03I've got a bad feeling about this.
05:08I'm not following you, Steffi.
05:10You're going to put an end to what, exactly?
05:14You don't think I'm on to you?
05:17I've seen it from the very beginning.
05:20You wouldn't let up.
05:21You kept pushing your line, and when I didn't give you what you wanted, you disappeared.
05:26All right, look, if I'm being accused of something here, then just...
05:30I told you, we need to be honest with each other, okay?
05:34No more posturing.
05:35No more games.
05:36No more involving family.
05:38This leave of absence?
05:41It's over.
05:43It's time to come back to Forrester.
05:57I could stay here all day with you.
06:00I don't know you have patients yet to see.
06:02No, but don't go yet.
06:03Don't go yet.
06:04I'll see you tonight.
06:05I know.
06:06This is just so nice.
06:08I know, I know.
06:09For so long, you had to sneak into my office, worried you might catch us together.
06:15I know more.
06:17But I know what you mean.
06:18I think about it, too.
06:20Everything that we had to go through to get here, I mean, the family stress and the ultimatums,
06:29and that horrendous chapter with Sheila.
06:33We literally feared for our lives.
06:36Yeah.
06:37And now here we are.
06:39We're stress-free, together, stronger than ever.
06:44We're in love than I ever thought I could be.
06:51You haven't heard anything else from Sheila?
07:00So, was the preview everything that you hoped for?
07:04Very promising.
07:06There are a few details I want to figure out here.
07:09Now, that's what Katie and Bill never really understood.
07:11How you took care of every single aspect.
07:16Oh, my God.
07:17Here I go again.
07:19You're thinking about your sister still, huh?
07:22It just makes me upset.
07:24She used you, Eric.
07:25She used you.
07:26Can we please stop talking?
07:28No one's going to think about that when they see this new life.
07:32Well, I don't think Eric's reputation is permanently damaged, but Katie's might be.
07:38Well, that's what you get when you're all in with Spencer.
07:42Bill gave her a fashion house for a wedding present.
07:44It'd be hard for anybody to turn that down.
07:47I'm surprised at Katie, though.
07:50You know, I thought she was pretty happy here, but she was, I don't know, very ambitious.
07:56But she was happy until Spencer decided that she was sleeping with the enemy.
08:01I mean, she lost all perspective.
08:04I understand her wanting to make a name for herself, but she gave up her values to do that.
08:10And why?
08:12I mean, Logan's going to be gone in the blink of an eye.
08:15But unlike Forrester Creations, there's no hope for Logan's future.
08:24It's been too long.
08:25Even you have to be a little concerned.
08:27No, I don't.
08:28Why haven't we heard anything from her?
08:30She knows they're not going to be able to relax until we hear something.
08:33Exactly.
08:34Hey, hey, did you get my text?
08:36You didn't respond.
08:38What?
08:39Have you heard from your sister?
08:42No, I thought Hope was here.
08:44Dude, no, dude, she's at Forrester, like, right now.
08:47She was summoned by Steffi.
08:49Katie and Liam think there could be a problem.
08:56Don't play dumb with me, Hope.
08:58Well, if I seem confused, it's because I am.
09:02Do you want me to spell it out for you?
09:06This sabbatical is a sham.
09:08It's a ploy.
09:10You thought if you were to make a statement, it would force me to act, but we already had an
09:14understanding.
09:15I made a promise to you.
09:17I said we would launch Hope for the Future once we were done with the couture line.
09:21Yes, that is what you said.
09:23So then you just walked off the job because, what, you don't believe me?
09:28Well, why stick around if you're just being strung along, if that day's never going to come.
09:34Actually, that day's right around the corner.
09:38It's time for you to return to Forrester and restart Hope for the Future.
09:44So, so you, you want me to come back to Forrester now?
09:53Sheila hasn't contacted you.
09:55At all.
09:56Taylor, believe me, I've been hoping to hear something.
09:58Even a text.
10:00She hasn't responded.
10:02I mean, the last thing she said is that she's been busy.
10:06With what?
10:08Finding a job, you know, a place to live.
10:11She said she's got a roommate.
10:13I can't imagine anyone wanting to share space with her.
10:18I mean, I'm sorry.
10:19No, no, no.
10:20Listen, hey, I'm not ashamed of my mistakes.
10:23You taught me that.
10:25I'm just glad I can move on from them.
10:28I mean, as much as I can, you know, until Sheila gets back to me about the divorce.
10:32She still hasn't signed the papers.
10:35You don't think she's holding out hope that maybe you'll change your mind?
10:41I try not to think a lot about Sheila these days.
10:45See, I find it much more exciting to think about her future.
10:48Not dwell in the past.
10:54I just wish Katie could hear the way Eric talks about her.
10:58Maybe she wouldn't feel the need to prove herself.
11:02Your sister you tried talking to and she wouldn't listen.
11:06I don't like not being close to her.
11:09I know it weighs on you.
11:12Yeah, I hate it.
11:15I just want to fix what we have between us, you know.
11:18And I don't know how.
11:19I've tried.
11:22I just want everything to go back to the way it was.
11:27Maybe we'll get your wish.
11:31You know, Katie's going to come.
11:33Work with us again.
11:35You think that's possible?
11:37Sure.
11:40I am telling you, Steffi is not on to hope.
11:42But she could be.
11:43That's why you're all so tense.
11:45That's the thing.
11:45We don't know what's going on at Forrester right now.
11:48Steffi asked to see her.
11:51Yeah, but she didn't say why and she just said it's important.
11:56Stop her.
11:58Trust me, dude.
11:59Now I wish I had.
12:01But, you know, your sister, she prefers to deal with Steffi directly.
12:06Steffi wanted to see Hope on her own turf.
12:08But what for?
12:09I mean, definitely not best friends.
12:11Are you both happy?
12:12Now you've got deep thinking the worst.
12:14No, no, believe me.
12:15You know, I don't want to.
12:18I love my sister.
12:20And I think Hope can handle herself.
12:22But if her and Steffi get into some sort of argument with the frustration I've been feeling, I mean, you
12:27bet I'm concerned.
12:30We have a date penciled in to launch the couture line.
12:32And then right after that, we want hope for the future back in the pipeline.
12:35Wait, what?
12:38Unless you need more time, then we can make the announcement.
12:41And then when you're ready, we can ramp up production.
12:44So you plan on announcing this?
12:47Well, yeah, that's the best way to get momentum going and marketing's going to be done with couture and they'll
12:52be ready for the next campaign.
12:54How's that sound?
12:58Unbelievable.
13:00But you don't seem that excited.
13:03This is what you've been waiting to hear, Hope.
13:06So what's going on?
13:09What's wrong?
13:20This divorce is going to happen.
13:22And when it does, we're going to be completely free.
13:28Well, don't get me wrong.
13:29I'm not complaining about the way things are right now.
13:32Me either.
13:35This has been really amazing.
13:37I mean, just to be with you in my place, to be with you in Bikini.
13:41You know, I love being a part of your life.
13:43I love being by your side.
13:46Not having to hide our relationship or feel guilty about it.
13:50I mean, we don't have to worry about what anyone thinks.
13:55Or how Sheila could react.
13:59I don't think we need to worry about Sheila at all.
14:03It's such a relief.
14:05And I don't feel great about saying that.
14:08But it's how I feel.
14:10I know she meant a lot to you.
14:13I'm just thankful that she understood that our relationship, our marriage, was over.
14:21You know, that she stepped away so that I could be with the woman I love.
14:25But I've got to tell you something.
14:27Whether she came around or not, I was going to be with you.
14:31I mean, it wasn't even my choice.
14:33You know, it was something I couldn't control.
14:35This connection that I have with you.
14:38It just draws me in.
14:41I couldn't stay away.
14:43I couldn't turn my feelings off.
14:46And now I don't have to.
14:48Ever.
14:49I just want to stay with you.
14:53And be with you.
14:54What?
14:54A whole bunch of other stuff.
14:55No, I want that too.
14:58Oh, so much.
15:16What?
15:17What?
15:18What?
15:18What?
15:18What?
