>> Eric: You look dazzling. >> Donna: Oh, I feel like a--
a princess in this dress. >> Eric: You are a princess
in this dress. I had it sent over from
Forrester especially for you.
>> Donna: Eric, um, you know I'm always,
always ready for a party. But I-- I just really don't want
you overwhelming yourself. >> Eric: I won't.
Don't worry. This is gonna be
a wondrous night. You'll see.
>> Ridge: Hey. >> Brooke: Well, well, well.
There's the man of the hour. >> Ridge: And we are ready
to celebrate with you. >> Eric: Yes, and we're gonna
celebrate today, my beautiful, darling Donna.

>> RJ: Hey, man. >> Zende: What's up?
>> RJ: I don't know. I just wanted to come over
and talk to you and make sure there was no tension between us
before the party. >> Zende: No, no, of course.
Tonight's all about Granddad. I'm surprised, uh,
you're not with your girl. >> RJ: Oh, you know, she's, uh,
she's getting ready with her mom at the office.
>> Zende: Well, I'm sure that Luna will look
beautiful tonight.
>> Poppy: Hello.
Oh, my God, it's beautiful. And so chic.
Oh, my sweet baby. I'm so thrilled for you.
>> Luna: Thank you. And this look is to die for,
right? I'm obsessed.
>> Poppy: Yes, I am too. And RJ is gonna love it.
>> Bill: Well, so-- so finish with what Steff
was telling you about Eric. >> Liam: Well, I mean, long
story short, it looks like Eric's been given a clean bill
of health. >> Bill: Well, that's good news.
>> Liam: Yeah, well, it's good. He's not out of the woods yet.
But obviously, Steffy is elated. The whole family is, um--
the whole family is really relieved, Dad?
Hi. >> Bill: What?
>> Liam: Okay, you're a little distracted
and I think I know why.

>> Liam: So, uh, when the hell do I get
to meet Poppy? >> Bill: Look, we're not, uh,
rushing things. You-- you know that Poppy
and I have our history. >> Liam: I do.
You're not rushing things, but you still want to see
where this goes, don't you? >> Bill: I do.
Even though the time we spent together back in the day
was relatively fleeting, it was also, um,
extremely impactful. And I think it's something that
we can build on in the future.
>> Poppy: You're going to have the most fabulous time.
>> Luna: Well, I'll definitely have the cutest date,
that's for sure. And the best hair and makeup
thanks to you. >> Poppy: Well, any excuse
to spend quality time with my daughter.
Now, let me just touch up that blush, hmm?
>> Luna: I mean, it's an honor to even be invited.
The fact that Eric specifically asked for me to be there...
>> Poppy: Well, he admires you, honey.
And he knows how important you've become to RJ.
There. You look as beautiful
as you do on the inside. RJ won't be able
to take his eyes off you.
>> RJ: Can't wait to see Luna in her dress.
>> Zende: Definitely a different vibe from the last time we got
dressed up to go to a party. >> RJ: Yeah, Grandad's
goodbye party. Thought we were gonna lose him.
>> Zende: Almost did. >> RJ: Then he got
a second chance. >> Zende: I can't think
of a better reason to celebrate. >> RJ: Me too.
>> Donna: Well, it's gonna be a cozy little gathering.
Finn is working and Hayes is sick, and Steffy didn't
wanna chance getting you sick. >> Eric: Yeah, yeah.
>> Brooke: And Hope and Thomas couldn't come because they have
that big Hope for the Future meeting.
>> Eric: Yeah, I wouldn't want them to cancel that.
No, no, I was aware it's just gonna be a small gathering.
It's fine. >> Carter: Hello.
>> Donna: Oh! Oh, my goodness. >> Eric: Carter and Katie.
Look at you. >> Katie: You all look gorgeous.
You most of all. >> Eric: Thank you.
Thank you. >> Carter: How are you, man?
>> Eric: Welcome. >> Donna: You look stunning,
and not so bad yourself. >> RJ: Hey, hey, there he is.

and me for this party tonight. I promise everyone
a memorable evening. >> Donna: Hmm...

>> Liam: You know, I am really excited for you.
'Cause I haven't seen you this enamored with a woman since...
Maybe ever. >> Bill: I felt this way
about your mom too, son. She was an all-around knockout.
>> Liam: Thanks. Hey, I know that you're not like
a foo-foo, la-la, destiny, fate kind of guy, but...
I really think it's possible that Poppy came back into your
life for a reason, and... Who knows, maybe she's got
something that you didn't even realize you were missing.
>> Bill: Yeah, you may be exactly right, Liam.
In fact, I'm gonna cut our meal short
and see if Poppy's available.
>> Luna: All right, this one? Or this one?
>> Poppy: I like that one. >> Luna: Same.
Great minds think alike. >> Poppy: Yeah, well, what time
does the party start? You don't want to be late.
>> Luna: Um, it's at-- Oh, my God,
we totally lost track of time. I have to get going.
>> Poppy: Uh, do you want me to drop you off?
>> Luna: Uh, no, that is okay. I'm taking a car service.
>> Poppy: Okay. Um, are you sure you don't
wanna wear a wrap? 'Cause it might get cold later.
>> Luna: Uh, no, no, it's okay. Um, I'll be fine.
>> Poppy: All right then. Have a fabulous time.
>> Luna: Thank you, Mom. And thank you for helping me
with my glam. >> Poppy: Listen, I know
tonight's about Eric and celebrating his
miraculous recovery. But I'm so proud of you.
I'm so happy you found RJ. A guy who treats you
with kindness and respect. Don't let anything come between
you and the man that you love. >> Luna: I won't.
>> Poppy: Now skedaddle. Go. [ Luna laughs ]
[ cell phone chimes ]
>> RJ: Well, Luna's on her way. >> Eric: Good, that's marvelous.
I'm glad she's gonna be here. She's a very big part
of this whole thing. >> RJ: Yeah, Luna's strength
and support while we were keeping it a secret--
the health stuff-- was nothing short
of amazing, right? >> Eric: When you find love,
you stick with it. You hang on to it.
Don't let go. Not ever. >> RJ: That's exactly
what I intend to do. >> Eric: Everyone!
I'm very aware we're not all here,
but I'm very, very proud and happy that you're all here
to help Donna and me celebrate this wonderful evening.
Thank you. It's gonna be fun.
And, uh, I'll have more to say about all that later.
>> Ridge: You okay? >> Eric: Yeah, I'm just
a little, uh... I'm just a little disoriented.
Last time I had a lot of people in this room, I was, uh...
I was on the floor there. I collapsed, you know?
And, uh... I wasn't sure I'd ever be back.
>> Ridge Well, you are back. You made it.
>> Eric: You knew my wishes, Ridge.
>> Ridge: You gave me the power to make the right choice
when the time came. And I did.
And I'd do it again. You're here. You're alive.
Is that what you want, or would you rather be dead?
>> Eric: That's not what I'm saying.
Not at all. You know that.
I love this life. I love--
I love this family. I love-- I love Donna.
>> Ridge: Yeah. >> Eric: Yeah.
>> Ridge: But right now, your face is telling
a different story. >> Eric: Yeah, yeah, well...
I went to the other side, Ridge, you know, and I saw that.
And it was beautiful. It was indescribable.
I mean, uh... You wouldn't understand.
I mean, you just can't.
I want you to know something. When my time comes again,
and it will, I'm not afraid.
I don't want you to be afraid for me.
Understand? >> Ridge: Yeah.

I want to live.

I was-- when I was sick. >> Luna: I'm so happy
to be here. Thank you so much
for including me. >> Eric: Wouldn't be
the same without you. I'm sure RJ feels the same way.

at all, tonight, if it wasn't for all the love
and the kindness that I felt from everyone here.
But no one more than you. No one more than you,
my-- my wonderful Donna. You're the person that stood

on me. And I'm never gonna
give up on you either. And so, that's what tonight
