00:09:21,428 --> 00:09:22,762
It overcomes me.
176
00:09:22,829 --> 00:09:26,299
The last person I expected
to--to criticize me for that
177
00:09:26,366 --> 00:09:27,767
is you, is my wife.
178
00:09:27,834 --> 00:09:30,804
I am not criticizing you, but...
179
00:09:32,405 --> 00:09:34,641
As your wife,
I am concerned about
180
00:09:34,707 --> 00:09:36,776
what the added stress
is doing to you.
181
00:09:36,843 --> 00:09:40,613
Okay? You're--
you're working so hard.
182
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:44,617
One hour after dinner
turns into all night, and...
183
00:09:44,684 --> 00:09:47,087
I promised myself
I would not let you
184
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:49,522
push yourself past the limit.
185
00:09:50,757 --> 00:09:54,094
Do you know what time you
finally came to bed last night?
186
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,129
Do you?
187
00:09:56,196 --> 00:09:58,698
-It was three a.m.!
-No, I know. I know.
188
00:09:58,765 --> 00:10:00,266
I lost track of time.
189
00:10:00,333 --> 00:10:03,837
I lose track of time
every time I'm doing this!
190
00:10:03,903 --> 00:10:06,706
I do, and I'm not--
it's what I wanna do.
191
00:10:06,773 --> 00:10:09,776
It's what I wanna create.
I don't apologize for that.
192
00:10:10,677 --> 00:10:14,681
I'm not one of those people that
you need to prove something to.
193
00:10:16,349 --> 00:10:18,651
I already know
how great you are.
194
00:10:20,353 --> 00:10:22,322
You're my honey bear.
195
00:10:23,857 --> 00:10:26,226
But what I do want
is for you to...
196
00:10:27,594 --> 00:10:32,165
To find some...
some happy medium, okay?
197
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:35,068
You can get the rest
that you need
198
00:10:35,135 --> 00:10:37,103
knowing that these designs,
199
00:10:37,170 --> 00:10:40,707
they're gonna be there for you
in the morning.
200
00:10:40,773 --> 00:10:42,675
Yeah, all right.
201
00:10:42,742 --> 00:10:44,811
I think I can do that.
202
00:10:48,314 --> 00:10:52,018
[laughs] Look at this.
Look at the fruits of my labor!
203
00:10:52,085 --> 00:10:54,988
You already know how fabulous
I think they are.
204
00:10:55,054 --> 00:10:57,590
Yeah. These are gonna be
the cornerstone
205
00:10:57,657 --> 00:10:59,392
of the new couture collection.
206
00:10:59,459 --> 00:11:02,328
I just--I just need to
get these in front of Ridge.
207
00:11:02,395 --> 00:11:06,166
There is no way that
he's not gonna see this vision.
208
00:11:06,232 --> 00:11:08,601
Gonna take
the fashion world by storm.
209
00:11:08,668 --> 00:11:12,138
I'm gonna do it,
and it starts today. Today.
210
00:11:12,205 --> 00:11:16,543
[uplifting music plays]
211
00:11:23,917 --> 00:11:26,286
I mean no disrespect, Ridge.
212
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:28,755
I come from a different
part of the world,
213
00:11:28,821 --> 00:11:32,692
a culture that views elders
with more reverence than this.
214
00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:34,160
More reverence.
215
00:11:34,227 --> 00:11:36,362
You think I don't respect
my dad?
216
00:11:37,564 --> 00:11:40,266
Because I do.
This is why we're doing this.
217
00:11:40,333 --> 00:11:43,736
Ridge is only looking out
for Eric's best interests.
218
00:11:43,803 --> 00:11:46,239
Perhaps don't count him out
just yet.
219
00:11:46,306 --> 00:11:48,775
He still has a lot to offer.
220
00:11:48,841 --> 00:11:50,510
No one's discarding Eric.
221
00:11:50,577 --> 00:11:53,146
We're aware of the legacy
he built here.
222
00:11:53,213 --> 00:11:55,114
Okay, well, if you all
believe this,
223
00:11:55,181 --> 00:11:56,716
maybe you should be
asking yourselves
224
00:11:56,783 --> 00:11:59,619
shouldn't Eric be allowed
to do what he wants
225
00:11:59,686 --> 00:12:02,722
and decide his own future?
226
00:12:02,789 --> 00:12:04,490
Oh, boy.
227
00:12:11,097 --> 00:12:13,333
This feels pretty intense
for a party.
228
00:12:14,867 --> 00:12:17,670
I was only explaining that in
many other part of the world,
229
00:12:17,737 --> 00:12:19,939
we would never push
an elder out.
230
00:12:20,006 --> 00:12:23,443
Well, this elder is not just
an elder--he's my dad.
231
00:12:23,509 --> 00:12:25,845
We're doing what I think
is right for him.
232
00:12:25,912 --> 00:12:27,947
But I don't have to
explain that to you.
233
00:12:28,014 --> 00:12:30,483
Let's ask the good doctor.
What do you think?
234
00:12:30,550 --> 00:12:33,186
My dad almost killed himself
last time he did that.
235
00:12:33,253 --> 00:12:34,787
Now that he's older,
should he do it again?
236
00:12:34,854 --> 00:12:36,556
What are your thoughts?
237
00:12:36,623 --> 00:12:39,092
Ultimately, as a doctor...
238
00:12:39,158 --> 00:12:41,194
I do support this.
239
00:12:41,261 --> 00:12:43,863
Getting Eric to reduce
his stress levels,
240
00:12:43,930 --> 00:12:46,132
get him to focus on his
health and his well-being,
241
00:12:46,199 --> 00:12:48,801
it's critically important.
242
00:12:48,868 --> 00:12:50,770
Well, listen to that.
243
00:12:50,837 --> 00:12:52,872
Thank you.
If it's okay with you,
244
00:12:52,939 --> 00:12:55,975
I'm gonna text my dad,
tell him to come over.
245
00:13:01,347 --> 00:13:03,516
Ridge keeps brushing me off,
you know?
246
00:13:03,583 --> 00:13:06,019
He thinks I don't, uh,
I don't have it in me.
247
00:13:06,085 --> 00:13:09,822
But when he sees this,
he will see that, uh,
248
00:13:09,889 --> 00:13:12,225
-I'm still Eric Forrester.
-Of course you are.
249
00:13:12,292 --> 00:13:15,928
It's a shame that Ridge
has to be reminded of it again.
250
00:13:15,995 --> 00:13:17,563
Yeah, yeah, I know.
251
00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:19,032
He just wants me to back off.
252
00:13:19,098 --> 00:13:22,201
He wants me to separate
from work, you know? But...
253
00:13:23,102 --> 00:13:25,071
Well, you know, I mean...
254
00:13:25,138 --> 00:13:27,607
you know I always fully
support you but, uh,
255
00:13:27,674 --> 00:13:30,176
that actually doesn't sound
too bad.
256
00:13:30,243 --> 00:13:33,579
You know, finally getting back
to Amsterdam in the spring
257
00:13:33,646 --> 00:13:36,816
and summers
in the south of France and...
258
00:13:36,883 --> 00:13:38,551
Sounds pretty good.
259
00:13:38,618 --> 00:13:41,154
But I'm not there yet.
I'm not ready to do that yet.
260
00:13:41,220 --> 00:13:44,390
I still have to work.
I need...I need to design.
261
00:13:44,457 --> 00:13:46,926
-You understand, right?
-[phone chimes]
262
00:13:48,728 --> 00:13:50,363
Ah, speaking of Ridge,
263
00:13:50,430 --> 00:13:53,199
he wants to see me
in the office.
264
00:13:53,266 --> 00:13:54,767
My office.
265
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:57,337
Yeah, well, I can't wait
to get him in here
266
00:13:57,403 --> 00:13:59,205
to see these designs.
267
00:13:59,272 --> 00:14:00,707
He will see that
I'm still Eric Forrester.
268
00:14:00,773 --> 00:14:02,508
He'll see.
269
00:14:04,377 --> 00:14:06,612
You still believe in me.
You believe in this, right?
270
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,648
You believe in me, Donna, right?
271
00:14:08,715 --> 00:14:11,250
Of course I do, Eric.
272
00:14:11,317 --> 00:14:13,052
I'm always Team Eric.
273
00:14:13,119 --> 00:14:16,689
But this is so much more than
just putting out another line,
274
00:14:16,756 --> 00:14:18,157
getting another line
under my belt.
275
00:14:18,224 --> 00:14:21,361
This is...this is the beginning
of a whole new chapter.
276
00:14:21,427 --> 00:14:24,430
This is...this is proof
that my career
277
00:14:24,497 --> 00:14:26,566
is still going strong.
278
00:14:26,632 --> 00:14:29,035
This is the beginning, today.
279
00:14:29,102 --> 00:14:31,437
Today's the beginning
of a new chapter--
280
00:14:31,504 --> 00:14:34,607
my new chapter
at Forrester Creations.
281
00:14:34,674 --> 00:14:37,443
[edgy music plays]
282
00:14:42,815 --> 00:14:44,384
RIDGE: You still don't
see it, do you?
283
00:14:44,450 --> 00:14:47,186
The work we do here,
the stress of this company
284
00:14:47,253 --> 00:14:50,056
is too much for someone
my dad's age.
285
00:14:50,123 --> 00:14:51,758
So we're trying to do
the right thing.
286
00:14:51,824 --> 00:14:54,494
We're trying to open a door
for him to a better world,
287
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,729
you know, something
where there's no stress,
288
00:14:56,796 --> 00:14:58,264
just happy thoughts,
289
00:14:58,331 --> 00:15:00,933
and as soon as he embraces that,
he's gonna love it.
290
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,435
We almost lost my dad,
and listen,
291
00:15:02,502 --> 00:15:04,971
I don't know what
the cultural difference is,
292
00:15:05,037 --> 00:15:06,973
but in this family
we love each other
293
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:08,941
and we protect each other.
294
00:15:09,008 --> 00:15:11,944
Even if that means
protecting him from himself.
295
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:15,415
But what if Granddad
fights us on this?
296
00:15:15,481 --> 00:15:17,150
Then we fight back.
297
00:15:17,216 --> 00:15:18,384
This is what he needs,
298
00:15:18,451 --> 00:15:20,520
and eventually,
he's gonna agree with us.
299
00:15:21,621 --> 00:15:23,122
CARTER: Surprise!
300
00:15:25,258 --> 00:15:27,760
Okay, what's this all about?
301
00:15:27,827 --> 00:15:29,729
This is all about you, Dad.
302
00:15:29,796 --> 00:15:32,498
Yeah? All right, good,
'cause I wanna talk to you.
303
00:15:32,565 --> 00:15:35,401
I wanna talk to you too.
We all wanna talk to you.
304
00:15:35,468 --> 00:15:38,204
We wanna congratulate you,
this...
305
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:39,672
icon of industry.
306
00:15:39,739 --> 00:15:41,174
Congratulations.
307
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,976
Uh, Eric, um...
308
00:15:52,018 --> 00:15:53,953
We can tell you're speechless,
309
00:15:54,020 --> 00:15:56,589
but like Ridge said,
we're here to celebrate you
310
00:15:56,656 --> 00:15:58,090
and your incredible
contributions
311
00:15:58,157 --> 00:16:00,193
as co-founder of this company.
312
00:16:00,259 --> 00:16:01,961
BROOKE: That's right.
313
00:16:02,028 --> 00:16:04,263
And now you can just
enjoy yourself
314
00:16:04,330 --> 00:16:07,133
and no more stress.
315
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,569
Enjoy your life with Donna.
316
00:16:12,104 --> 00:16:14,273
Granddad,
we are so happy for you.
317
00:16:16,042 --> 00:16:18,110
You've had an incredible run.
318
00:16:18,177 --> 00:16:20,313
A run that's over today?
319
00:16:20,379 --> 00:16:21,614
Never over.
320
00:16:22,782 --> 00:16:24,417
Your legacy
will live on forever,
321
00:16:24,484 --> 00:16:26,319
not just in this family,
322
00:16:26,385 --> 00:16:29,422
but in everyone that
you've taught over the years...
323
00:16:29,489 --> 00:16:31,290
no one more than me.
324
00:16:32,258 --> 00:16:35,194
I got to learn
from the master, and now...
325
00:16:35,261 --> 00:16:37,430
it's time for the master
to rest.
326
00:16:37,497 --> 00:16:39,632
-Oh. Oh, to rest.
-[soft huff]
327
00:16:39,699 --> 00:16:43,135
You mean like permanently,
like six feet under?
328
00:16:43,202 --> 00:16:45,905
Don't do that, Dad.
That's not what I'm--
329
00:16:45,972 --> 00:16:49,475
Donna was talking to me
earlier about, uh,
330
00:16:49,542 --> 00:16:52,311
prioritizing...
331
00:16:52,378 --> 00:16:54,714
and about not burning out
before I get a chance
332
00:16:54,780 --> 00:16:58,518
to do everything I wanna do
in this life, and--and...
333
00:16:58,584 --> 00:17:01,120
the one thing I wanna do more
than anything else is design,
334
00:17:01,187 --> 00:17:03,623
because that's...
that's all I care about,
335
00:17:03,689 --> 00:17:06,692
and that's what I'm gonna be
doing until the day I die.
336
00:17:08,728 --> 00:17:11,230
Stephanie and I founded
this company,
337
00:17:11,297 --> 00:17:14,901
and we built this company
from the ground up...
338
00:17:14,967 --> 00:17:18,504
right to where
you're all standing right now.
339
00:17:22,408 --> 00:17:23,643
And you said it--
you're right, you're right.
340
00:17:23,709 --> 00:17:25,945
This is my legacy.
341
00:17:26,012 --> 00:17:29,015
And because it's my legacy,
I get to decide.
342
00:17:31,517 --> 00:17:33,786
And I decide not to do this.
343
00:17:33,853 --> 00:17:36,489
I don't accept this.
344
00:17:36,556 --> 00:17:39,325
I'm not doing this, Ridge.
345
00:17:39,392 --> 00:17:41,394
