[00:00:00][music] >> I've devoted my life to Forrester Creations all these years. [music] I created the Be Leaf formula, and that was huge.

[00:00:09]Not only for the company, but for the entire fashion industry.

[00:00:13]Just think about [music] it.

[00:00:15]You, me, running the company as Brooke and Ridge Forrester, we'd be the fashion royalty power couple.

[00:00:22]>> [music] >> Would be incredible, Ridge.

[00:00:25]And the best part of all, we'd be [music] doing it side by side.

[00:00:30]That's something I want for us.

[00:00:33]Tell me you want that, too.

[00:00:40]>> [music] [music] [music] >> Now, that's a welcome home.

[00:00:55]I aim to please.

[00:00:59]Yeah.

[00:01:01]Kids [music] are at a sleepover at Grandma Lee's.

[00:01:05]We have the night to ourselves. [music] And wine.

[00:01:12]Your favorite.

[00:01:18]I could probably [music] use something a little stronger after the day I had with Hope.

[00:01:24]>> [music] >> Well, that was fast. When my wife calls, I come a-running.

[00:01:30]So, where is it?

[00:01:33]Where's what?

[00:01:35]You know, the the big cardboard box with all your stuff.

[00:01:38]My stuff?

[00:01:40]I'm mostly kidding. I was I was kind of hoping I'd show up and see that you had cleared out all your things and signed your resignation letter and were ready to come work with us at Logan.

[00:01:51]>> [music] >> Hope could be replacing Eric at Logan.

[00:01:55]Is that Is that Is that what you're talking about?

[00:01:57]>> It's an idea. It's something that I'm considering seriously. And this is why I couldn't have you tell anyone. I just swear you to secrecy. If anyone found out about this. Yeah, don't you mean if Brooke found out about this? That's what you mean. Yeah, okay, sure. But like Don't get upset. All right? [music] Nothing has been committed to. Like I I I should hope not.

[00:02:21]My God, Katie Katie the very idea of a of a a daughter betraying a mother like that. I'm sorry. That's that's just not who Hope is.

[00:02:29]>> Well, I don't [music] see it as a betrayal. But I No buts, okay? This is not happening. Hope is is staying at Forrester. [music] With Brooke.

[00:02:39]Where she belongs.

[00:02:42]>> [music] [music] >> So Hope is still freaking out about her line being put on the back burner? She thinks it's personal. There's nothing I can say to convince her otherwise.

[00:03:04]Maybe you can talk to Ridge. Let him try. Maybe he can explain. He has. He has. Well, and?

[00:03:11]Hope thinks his father-daughter co-CEO gave him up on her. It's ridiculous.

[00:03:16]I don't know.

[00:03:18]Sometimes I just What?

[00:03:23]Well, there are days like today when I wonder if Hope and her line are even worth the trouble.

[00:03:30]This was not my idea. It was Liam's. Are you kidding me? What?

[00:03:36]>> Well, he's seen how frustrated Hope is at Forrester. How disrespected she and her line have been by Ridge and Steffy.

[00:03:42][music] She's been completely sidelined.

[00:03:45]He doesn't want to see her go through all that, especially when she could be happy here at Logan. And she wouldn't [music] have to bow down to Princess Stuffy. Oh, stop. Hope has never bowed down to Steffy Forrester in [music] her life. I She's She's too much self-respect.

[00:04:00]>> Yeah, well, you're right. She does have too much self-respect to stay at a company where her contributions are not appreciated. And Liam I don't care.

[00:04:10]I don't care what Liam's motivations are, how how loving or noble they might be.

[00:04:16]Because this is a crazy idea, okay? It's a crazy And it's not happening, Katie. All right?

[00:04:24]It is just not happening.

[00:04:28]>> [music] >> You know, if you still need reasons for writing that resignation letter, I keep a bunch in my pocket right here. Just And I have no doubt.

[00:04:41]I but I don't plan on leaving Forrester.

[00:04:48]You don't?

[00:04:51]Damn.

[00:04:53]Kind of thought I had you convinced.

[00:04:55]Well, you came You came close.

[00:04:57]Uh it's just I spoke to my mom >> Whoa, whoa, wait.

[00:05:01]You s- You didn't tell her about the the offer, did you?

[00:05:05]>> No, no. No, I did something else.

[00:05:09]What?

[00:05:10]I convinced her to speak with Ridge. So, she's going to make the case to Ridge for not shelving over the future or what? No, actually, she's going to make the case for herself.

[00:05:23]For what is rightfully hers.

[00:05:27]Namely, being co-CEO of Forrester Creations.

[00:05:33]I had no idea you were thinking like this.

[00:05:35]Well, I had no idea, either, until As luck I just want to run the company with you.

[00:05:44]That's all.

[00:05:46]I want to build on everything that we've already accomplished. I want to take Forrester Creations to even greater heights.

[00:05:53]Don't you want that?

[00:05:55]Of course I want that. We make a great team.

[00:05:58]Because I get [music] you. And you get me.

[00:06:01]We are a match made in co-CEO heaven.

[00:06:06]I don't disagree with any of that, but um what about my daughter?

[00:06:13]What about Steffy?

[00:06:16]>> [music] >> Are you feeling more relaxed?

[00:06:23]Those are from the wine and my very sexy [music] attentive husband.

[00:06:29]Thank you.

[00:06:34]Look, >> [music] >> maybe you need to remind Hope who the boss is.

[00:06:43]I did.

[00:06:44]I did and I was I was professional for the most part, but um Okay.

[00:06:49]You know what?

[00:06:52]Let's not talk about that.

[00:06:55]Let's talk about anything but Hope Logan, okay?

[00:06:59]We're wasting our time talking about Hope.

[00:07:05]>> [music] >> I should have known you would react this way.

[00:07:11]There is no other reaction.

[00:07:15]You were talking about Brooke's daughter leaving Forrester and working with you at Logan. I that that's a recipe for disaster.

[00:07:23]Well, no decisions have been made yet.

[00:07:26]You could ruin your relationship with Brooke. Is this some sort of vendetta against Brooke for stealing Bill all those years ago? Is that Is that what this is, Katie?

[00:07:35]>> [laughter] >> No, seriously, because if if so, I get it. I get it.

[00:07:39]It that was so painful, but you you can't use hope this way.

[00:07:44]>> I'm not using hope.

[00:07:47]Uh okay, two things can be true at the same time, all right? I can have some residual hurt and resentment from what happened with Brooke and Bill, and I can also want to do what's best for my company.

[00:07:59]>> Oh.

[00:08:00]Really?

[00:08:01]Do you know that family is more important than any company? Your sister should be more important.

[00:08:07]You can't do this, Katie.

[00:08:09]You cannot do this to Brooke or to Hope.

[00:08:15]So, you talked [music] Brooke into saying she wants to be co-CEO?

[00:08:20]She should be running Forrester.

[00:08:23]She deserves it.

[00:08:24]>> No, I I mean, no argument here, but Steffy's not going to be very happy about relinquishing her position to Brooke of all people. Yeah, she'll probably hate it, but if Ridge is in my mom's corner, and then Right, but that's that is the question, is it not? I mean, would do you know Ridge will be in your corner?

[00:08:43]Look, she could just He could give Steffy another title. She'll still be at Forrester.

[00:08:49]If Steffy is not co-CEO, she's going to flee >> mom was working at this company before Steffy was even born. Her contributions are legendary. She loves Forrester Creations.

[00:09:02]>> [music] >> Just like I do.

[00:09:06]I I have a history here, too. I I created my first line here, a line that I very much want to see thrive again.

[00:09:16]Only I won't be able to see that happen if I leave.

[00:09:21]What?

[00:09:23]If my mom is co-CEO, maybe I won't have to.

[00:09:30]I understand [music] your concern about your daughter. I don't mean to put you in an uncomfortable or awkward position.

[00:09:36]>> kind of are, you know that, right?

[00:09:38]>> [music] >> Not intentionally.

[00:09:40]I know how important it's been for you and Steffy to work so closely together.

[00:09:44]>> She's done a phenomenal job. Yes, and she knows you will always be proud of her. No matter what she's doing at the company, no matter what title, but she will always be a dynamic force at Forrester. The only change that I see is [music] that I won't be answering to her.

[00:10:01]Now she's going to have to answer to you, right? No, to you and me as co-CEOs. [music] Yes, there'll be some pushback at first.

[00:10:11]>> [clears throat] >> Especially when it comes to me, I mean she's not going to want to step [music] aside so easily.

[00:10:17]But the reality is, Ridge, I've been at Forrester Creations long before she was even born.

[00:10:22]And I've helped make the company into the powerhouse that it is today.

[00:10:26]>> [music] >> I believe that I've earned it.

[00:10:31]And deep [music] down, I think you believe that, too.

[00:10:41]>> [music] >> You're talking about family.

[00:10:44]Well, Bill is my family, Liam is my family because I'm a Spencer. And like it or not, Hope is a Spencer, too.

[00:10:51]Hope is also a Logan. And Brooke is her mother, and they've always been extremely close.

[00:10:57]>> Well, they still will be. Not if you don't stop this right now.

[00:11:01]>> Donna, come on.

[00:11:02]>> You're just trying to justify something that you know is wrong.

[00:11:07]Things were bad enough when Eric came to Logan.

[00:11:09]>> Oh, were they?

[00:11:11]He came on his own accord. He wanted to be here because he was kicked to the curb by his own son. He was unceremoniously tossed aside. I was there. I lived it. I was there, remember?

[00:11:25]Hope's situation it's it's completely different.

[00:11:29]>> Is it?

[00:11:30]Eric felt like he was under appreciated at Forrester. That's exactly [music] how Hope feels. So, let me ask you a question. If Hope decides to come to Logan, will it be because of something I've done, or will it be because of Ridge and Steffy? [music] They have yet again made someone feel unwanted at Forrester.

[00:11:50]I had no idea [music] Brooke was thinking this way. Well, I didn't really either until I pulled it out of her, you know, got her to admit that she believes she deserves co-CEO. I mean, I I I can see how passionate you are about this.

[00:12:06]I Liam, I really want to reiterate just how flattered I am for the offer. And it means it means the world to me to know that I do have a place a home at Logan if I ever need one.

[00:12:19]But you again, you you definitely did not tell Brooke about that offer, right?

[00:12:24]>> No. No. She told me everything I needed to hear, which was that she was going to fight. She is going to fight to take her rightful place beside Ridge leading Forrester Creations.

[00:12:35]The way it should have always been.

[00:12:37][music] Come sit.

[00:12:42]You feel very strongly about this, don't you? Very much so.

[00:12:46]It's my time. Now or [music] never.

[00:12:50]The lady issues What is that? Ultimatum? No. No, it's not that. It's just been a very stressful time.

[00:13:00]And I'm talking about Katie now.

[00:13:02]>> [music] >> Our relationship with her has been strained, and she's CEO of Logan.

[00:13:09]And if I have to go toe-to-toe with her >> want to do this as a woman who's running this company?

[00:13:15]I want to do it side by [music] side with you as Ridge and Brooke Forrester, king and queen of Forrester Creations.

[00:13:25]>> [music] >> I've told you what I want.

[00:13:28]I've stated my case.

[00:13:30]>> [music] >> Tell me you agree.

[00:13:35]>> [music] [music] [music] >> You're right. Talking's overrated.

[00:13:49][music] Mhm. This is so much better.

[00:13:53]But uh I want [music] What? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:13:59]>> Yeah. No, no, listen.

[00:14:00]I don't want to you to think that I'm silencing you.

[00:14:06]If this is your way of silencing me, then I am all for it. Okay. Yeah.

[00:14:11]>> [clears throat and music] >> I want you to finish telling me about your day today.

[00:14:14]Okay.

[00:14:16]Weren't you supposed to get some sales reports?

[00:14:20]>> [laughter] >> Well, our company suffered little to no damage from my grand dad's departure.

[00:14:28]No. The numbers are good.

[00:14:30]And I just made a huge [music] deal to boost Forrester's uh presence, so Mhm. the future looks bright.

[00:14:39]>> Yeah. Mhm. I love you, baby.

[00:14:43]This is awesome. Come here.

[00:14:45]To you.

[00:14:49]I'm so proud of you.

[00:14:51]Thank you.

[00:14:59]Can you get back to silencing me?

[00:15:01]Sure thing.

[00:15:03]My badass CEO.

[00:15:10]>> [music] >> Listen, Ridge had another family with Taylor. And Steffy and Thomas have always received preferential treatment.

[00:15:20]It's no wonder that Hope feels short changed.

[00:15:23]>> Hope has her own line. What Yeah, it's been shelved again. Look, stop. Stop. I You know what? I I'm just not listening to this anymore, okay?

[00:15:32]You have asked me how I feel and I told you the idea of of of taking Hope and bringing her to Logan, it is a hard no.

[00:15:40]Brooke would go crazy.

[00:15:43]You know it and it would it would rip the three of us apart.

[00:15:47][music] No company is worth that.

[00:15:51]>> [music] >> I know how much you love Forrester [music] Creations and I respect it. And I also respect the fact that you want to see your mom as co-CEO.

[00:16:04]But just game this out with me, [music] right?

[00:16:08]Okay, so so what what if that doesn't happen? What What if What if Brooke fails to convince Ridge?

[00:16:14]>> I I I can't afford to think that way, Liam. I can't.

[00:16:18]Okay.

[00:16:20]>> [music] >> Okay, if you can Can you humor me? I mean, on the on the tiny tiny tiny off chance [snorts] that that [music] Brooke doesn't convince Ridge, what then? I mean, you you no longer have any reasons for staying at Forrester and you have >> [music] >> a lot of good reasons for coming to Logan.

[00:16:42]I'm telling you, Liam, my my mom has a way of getting what she wants.

[00:16:49]Especially when it comes [music] to Ridge.

[00:16:54]If you need [music] additional convincing, I'm willing to go on and on and on about why [music] this is the right move.

[00:17:07]And not to brag or anything, but I do have a lot of followers.

[00:17:14]Followers that are very passionate about me and about career >> [snorts] >> and just imagine the reaction when you tell them that we are co-CEOs.
