>> Li: It's time we find out who Luna's father really is. Is it
you, Bill? Or is my sister lying?
>> Katie: Li said some harsh words about Poppy. There could
be some truth behind them. >> RJ: Then the paternity test will
say if Poppy's claim's legit. >> Katie: I guess you're right. >>
Liam: Hey. Oh, hey. >> Katie: Hey. >> Liam: Uh, actually I was
here to pick up some stuff for Beth, but kind of ironic running
into you. You wanna guess what my dad just told me? >> Katie:
Oh, sure, I'll guess. That Luna could be his daughter?
[ Steffy exhales ] >> Ridge: It's gonna take all of us. This
is not something that you can decide on your own-- >> Steffy:
Dad. >> Ridge: Yeah. >> Steffy: You're my co-CEO. We're
partners. We need to be on the same page. >> Ridge: Can't
always agree on everything. >> Steffy: But know Hope for the
Future was on the decline. And yet you still sided with her. >>
Ridge: I didn't side with anyone. I did what was best for
the company. And losing Hope for the Future right now is not
what's best for the company.
>> Brooke: Oh, it's okay. Don't worry, we'll just see you later
then. Okay. Hi, Hope. That was Donna. She can't meet us for
lunch after all. >> Hope: Oh. >> Brooke: So, what happened at the
meeting? >> Hope: Hope for the Future lives on. >> Brooke: Oh,
really? >> Hope: Hmm. Yeah, Ridge totally ruled against
Steffy. >> Brooke: Oh, my God. I-- I am thrilled. I mean, this
is fantastic news. >> Hope: I know. >> Brooke: I'm so happy
for you, honey. >> Hope: Thank you. >> Brooke: Goodness. ♪♪
>> Deacon: Hey, you decided to come back. I didn't know if I
was gonna see you again. >> Tom: Oh, Deacon, you know, I heard
what you said. >> Deacon: Here, let me help you with your bag.
>> Tom: Oh, no, no, no, no. Please, I got it. >> Deacon:
It's okay. >> Tom: This-- this is all my worldly possessions.
>> Deacon: Yeah. Uh, Tom, listen, um... We never would've
found that warehouse without you. Which means I wouldn't have
found Sheila and I definitely wouldn't be married. I know I
can't repay you, but I was serious about what I said. I'd--
I'd really like to offer you a job. >> Tom: Deacon, you're
being real nice to me. I just wanna let you know that most
potential employers, they-- they don't really like to hire dudes
that-- that struggle with bad habits. >> Deacon: I guess it's
a good thing that I'm not most employers. As far as bad habits,
I certainly have enough of my own. Look, are you good now? You
in recovery? >> Tom: Oh, yeah, I'm counting days. >> Deacon:
Okay, good. Are you gonna show up on time? You gonna work hard?
>> Tom: Yes, Sir. >> Deacon: Don't ever call me Sir again.
The offer still stands. What do you say? >> Tom: I'm in. >>
Deacon: All right. Lucky to have you. >> Tom: Yeah. >> Steffy:
It's a big risk. The numbers speak for themselves. Look, I
don't wanna be in the same position that we were when
Thomas left the last time and we were screwed with the line. >>
Carter: Steffy, I understand your concerns. I really do, but
now that I think about it, I agree with Ridge. Hope for the
Future's a central component of Forrester and she just put
together a new team. They need time to get established. And the
designs, they look good, right? They're good designs, so give
them some time to turn things around next quarter. >> Steffy:
It's not gonna be the same without Thomas. I mean, Dad, it
looks like you're gonna have to pitch in. >> Ridge: I don't-- I
don't wanna pitch in. That's not what I... No, what I want is to
focus on Couture. That's where I need to be right now. I need
less responsibility, not more. >> Steffy: What are you saying?
>> Liam: You've heard? You've heard? >> RJ: Yeah, no, Luna
told me. >> Katie: I haven't said anything to Will, not until
we get confirmation either way. >> RJ: It's crazy to think you
might have a little sister, Liam. >> Liam: Yeah, well, you
should see my dad. He's, uh... Excited.
>> Poppy: I already bought a paternity test, Li. The same
kind. >> Li: Mine's sealed. And I'm a medical professional. So
there's no room for error. >> Bill: All right, enough with the
sibling rivalry issues between you two sisters. I don't want
anything to tarnish what's happening today. Poppy finally
admitted that I could be Luna's father. And I would like nothing
more. >> Luna: Me too. I'm praying that you're my father,
Bill. >> Li: Then let's find out. Shall we?
>> Deacon: Hey, Tom, let me ask you something. Um, how are you
fixed for a place to stay? >> Tom: No, no, no, no, no. I'm
fine, Deacon. I'm fine. Listen, you've been so good to me. It's
been a long time since somebody's believed in this old
sack of bones. >> Deacon: Tom, you changed my life. I mean, you
gave us a future. Hell, you officiated at our wedding.
Sheila and I are gonna be indebted to you forever. >> Tom:
God, you know, I wish I was the guy that had always the right
words in my mouth. But I-- I appreciate it. And so what can I
do for you? >> Deacon: We'll figure that out. Um, have you
ever worked in a kitchen? I mean, do you think maybe you
could do a little food prep? >> Tom: Oh, no. Kitchens? No, no.
I-- I barely know how to make one of those microwaves work. >>
Deacon: Okay, um... Or do you think you could wait tables? I
mean, I'm gonna be honest with you. It gets kind of hectic in
here, but the tips are great. >> Tom: No way. I would spill the
drinks on the customers. >> Deacon: Okay, all right. Put a
pin in that. [ cell phone chimes ] >> Deacon: Oh, sorry. Pizza
order. Damn, my delivery guy already left. >> Tom: Delivering
pizzas? I can do that. >> Deacon: You can? >> Tom: Sure. I
still have a valid driver's license. >> Deacon: This is
perfect. Okay, uh, the keys are in the van outside. Just grab a
uniform from the storage closet. Hey, Tom, listen. This is-- this
is an important order, though, okay? >> Tom: Listen, Deacon, I
got you.
>> Steffy: You love your job, Dad. No one knows the ins and
outs like you. >> Carter: She's got a point, Ridge. >> Ridge:
Okay, I'm a designer. That's what I wanna do. Not put out
fires. Yeah, I can do it, but I don't wanna do it. You wanna do
it. You're good at it. You should be doing it. >> Steffy:
Are you serious? >> Ridge: I'm not going anywhere. I'm gonna be
right here. I just don't wanna deal with salaries and-- and
budgets. I... Look, Thomas is gone. Dad isn't here that much,
so someone has to come up with product. Because without
product, we don't have a company. We all understand that,
right?
>> Hope: You should've been in that meeting. >> Brooke: Oh,
honey. I'm just glad it all worked out. I'm glad Steffy
won't be able to shut down your line. >> Hope: Well, the look on
her face when Ride and Carter agreed with me, I mean. And the
fact that they acknowledged the BeLief formula and the bedroom
line, it was priceless. >> Brooke: Well, my career has
always brought me tremendous pride and joy. >> Hope: Well.
You were the face of the company for decades, Mom. You were CEO.
I mean, what can't you do? You've got brains, beauty,
talent, confidence. I mean, have you ever considered stepping up
again? I mean, would you ever want to take a more active role
in Forrester?
>> Liam: Well, the suspense is a bit much. >> RJ: Imagine how
Bill and Luna are feeling right now. >> Liam: Yeah, it sounds
like they're both kind of hoping it'll work out. >> Katie:
According to Li, Poppy would love nothing more. >> Luna:
Okay, so how does this work? My mom said something about a swab,
or? >> Li: Well, it's totally painless. I'll swab the inside
of your cheeks. Then we'll insert the sample into a
solution. Then we'll dispense the solution onto a testing
strip. Then we wait. Two stripes, Bill's the father. One
stripe, he's not. >> Luna: Sounds easy enough. >> Poppy:
Exactly. No reason for you to barge in here. >> Luna: Guys,
can you please chill for like two seconds? This is a huge
moment in our lives. >> Poppy: Hey, yeah, sweetheart, I'm
sorry. Let's just get the test done. >> Bill: Yeah, we've
waited long enough. >> Luna: That's for sure. >> Bill:
Hopefully soon I will be told that you're my daughter.
>> Ridge: We're in a good place right now. The company's making
money, business is booming. >> Steffy: Everything except Hope
for the Future. >> Ridge: Forget about Hope for the Future for a
second. They're gonna be fine. They're gonna bounce back. Gotta
be optimistic. Carter agrees, and he knows what he's talking
about. That's why he's here. And I'm here because I need to
design. Because if I don't, Couture's gonna suffer. It's on
you. >> Steffy: On me? What-- what do you mean? I mean-- I
mean yeah, I have the ability. I have the experience. But that is
a big responsibility. And you know I have so much on my plate
right now. Are you sure about this?
>> Hope: You should take on a real leadership position at the
company. I mean, Mom, the company never flourished as much
than when you were in charge. >> Brooke: Well, it was a thrilling
part of my life. Really, I loved it. And I could run that company
effectively. Distribute capital efficiently. And Steffy, giving
up on Hope for the Future. A lucrative line because of one
mildly depressed season. I mean, that is-- that is not competent
leadership. >> Hope: Look at you. You are all lit up. I mean,
you want back in, don't you? >> Brooke: Maybe. I have a lot to
offer. And there's a lot that I would change. But Ridge and
Steffy, are heads of Forrester, and I don't wanna step on any
toes. >> Hope: Hmm. You mean you don't want to upset the high and
mighty and all-knowing Steffy Forrester. >> Brooke: Right. >>
Liam: You serious? Li called Poppy a gold digger? >> Katie:
Apparently she has a type. Very wealthy. >> RJ: She thinks that
Poppy's trying to manipulate it so Bill believes that he's
Luna's father. [ knock on door ] >> Katie: Oh. >> Tom: Hello?
I've got a delivery for an RJ. >> RJ: That is me. Thank you so
much. >> Tom: Oh, well, you're welcome. Here-- here-- here's
this. >> RJ: Oh, thank you, napkins, yeah >> Tom: Enjoy the
pizza. It's really good. >> RJ: Well, you got the tip online,
right? >> Tom: Oh, yeah, I'm good. Thanks guys. >> RJ: Thank
you. I was hungry, so I ordered some pizzas. You-- you want
some? >> Katie: Yeah. Yeah, I-- I could use a slice. Sure. I
mean, it could be a while before we find out if Luna is Bill's
daughter.
>> Li: Now we wait. Soon you will know if your mother's
telling the truth. If Bill really is your father.
>> Tom: Hey, boss. >> Deacon: Hey, that was quick. >> Tom:
Yeah. >> Deacon: Did everything go okay with the delivery? >>
Tom: Oh, no, it went really smooth. >> Deacon: Yeah? >> Tom:
You know, they-- they they tipped online? What-- what does
that mean? >> Deacon: I'll explain that to you later.
You're hired. All right.
>> Ridge: You know I don't wanna make things more complicated for
you, right? But I have to focus on design. You-- you get that.
>> Steffy: Dad, it's not that I can't do the job, it's just-- >>
Ridge: I know you can. Of course you can. If anyone can do it,
you can do it. But if you think you need help, then let's find
somebody. There's gotta be somebody at Forrester who can
step up. >> Hope: You were the best CEO. Our buyers miss you so
much. >> Brooke: Oh, and I miss them, too. Paloma in Madrid. I
mean, she was a dream to do business with. >> Hope: Mom, I
don't think you can even begin to understand the amount of
people who still continue to reach out asking about you. I
mean, you go online. You're still all that people can talk
about. And not just because you are a brilliant creator and
inventor of one of the most highly profitable, like,
innovative formulas out there. But because you're Brooke Logan.
You're a personality. You are a-- a coveted legend in the
fashion world. >> Brooke: Well, thank you, honey. That's very
sweet of you to say. >> Hope: Uh, I just think that you should
be the one leading the company forward. >> Brooke: There's no
room for me at the top. Steffy and Ridge are co-CEO's. >> Hope:
And how exactly did Steffy become CEO? Her dad. It's not
like she put in years and years of hard work like you did. And
now that she's trying to erase the Logan influence from the
company. I mean, please. I would like to see what Forrester
Creations would be without the Logan influence. >> Brooke: I
don't like how she targeted you and your line. That's for sure.
>> Hope: I'm just... I'm tired of it. For years and years,
she's acted like we're beneath her. Like we're trash from the
valley. Okay, fine. Sure. Yes, you were a caterer's daughter.
But you got an education. And you worked your way up. And that
is not something to be ashamed of. You created opportunity
through your determination. And your willpower. And Steffy? She
doesn't value that. It's just an elitist attitude. And I am sick
of it. Mom, please. I am begging you. Make your way back to the
company. Take control. And together, we can put an end to
Steffy's reckless leadership.
>> Liam: Well, that was a good idea. It's phenomenal. >> Katie:
Definitely a needed distraction. >> RJ: Yeah, I was hoping we
would have some news by now. >> Liam: Would you consider keeping
me posted? I-- I hate to be a jerk, but I'm late for a
meeting. >> Katie: Yeah, of course. Absolutely. >> RJ: Wait.
It's Luna. She says they're taking the paternity test right
now.
>> Li: Nervous, Penelope? >> Poppy: Wouldn't you be, Li? You
can see how much Luna wants Bill to be her father. >> Li: You'd
like that too, wouldn't you? >> Luna: Okay, how much longer is
it? >> Bill: It's gotta almost be time. >> Li: Not much longer.
I remember this house well. It's really great to see you again,
Bill. >> Luna: Wait, you two knew each other? >> Li: Should I
tell Luna or should you?
>> Bill: Have at it. >> Li: I'm sure you've heard of Finn's
birth mother, Sheila. Well, she ran me off the road one night. [
explosion ] [ Li shouts ] >> Luna: Oh my God. >> Li: It was
horrifying. I completely lost my memory. I was lost, confused,
traumatized. Until a remarkable man found me. >> Luna: Bill?
Bill saved you? >> Li: He brought me here. And took
wonderful care of me. >> Luna: Wow. I mean, what an incredible
story to think that you had that experience with my aunt. >> Li:
Bill came into my life years ago, and now we're waiting to
see if he's your father. [ beeping ]
>> Li: Well, look what we have here. >> Luna: What is it? Is it
one stripe or two? >> Poppy: Come on, Li. Stop playing games.
Answer the question. >> Bill: Am I Luna's father or not?
