RIDGE: I hate disappointing you so much.
But Steffy...
She has exceeded everyone's expectations in this position.
I-I--
She's a real asset to this company and...
so are you.
I can't imagine this place without Brooke Logan
front and center.
So what do we do now?
I unseat Steffy and take this away from her?
It wouldn't be fair.
FINN: Okay, well, we were
on our way home from dropping Kelly off at a sleepover,
and this guy...
insisted that we surprise Mommy at work.
-Surprise! -[giggling] He's so cute.
I hope it's okay.
Oh, my gosh, of course it's okay.
It's really okay.
Especially after the day I had.
You all right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I will be.
Come here!
I need the biggest, bestest hug from my son,
my baby boy.
Oh. You have no idea how much I needed this.
[eerie offkey notes]
I considered you one of my closest friends
and I couldn't see anything changing that ever, but...
then something did and...
it hurt.
A lot.
But I have a choice.
I could hold onto that pain and I could let it affect me
or I can try and move past it
and work on us and fixing our relationship.
And I know that that's what you want too.
Absolutely, I do. I mean, more than anything.
Electra...
I will never do anything to let you down again.
I promise.

[mouthing] Leave.
Look, I mean it, Electra.
I will do everything I can to win back your trust
and your friendship.
I believe you.
[both giggling]
Okay, well...
I'll, uh, see you later then?
-Yeah. -Okay.
Bye.
[phone chimes]
Hey, cuz.
Remy, what are you doing here?
I already told you I cannot see you,
-especially at Forrester. -I know.
-But we're family, and I just-- -It doesn't matter.
I made it clear last time you snuck in here.
Oh, my little disguise?
Remy, this isn't funny.
If anyone finds out we're related, especially Electra--
Relax. She didn't see me.
Okay? You have nothing to worry about, girl.
That is not true!
With you around, I have everything to worry about.
Mommy, you're squeezing so hard, I'm gonna pop!
I'm sorry! You just give the best hugs!
Do you have any left for your cousin?
-Electra! Hey! -Hey, buddy.
-Aw. Thank you. -CHARLIE: All right.
All right, hold it right there.
We've had a security breach.
Seems like a, uh...
a little guy--
about this high...
came into the building accompanied by another guy...
about that high...
but they both failed to get their official security badges.
Uh-oh.
Are we in trouble, Daddy?
No, buddy, I don't think so.
It just so happens that we know a lady who runs this place.
-Mommy! -FINN: [laughs] Yeah.
Um, listen, Charlie, that's actually good timing.
Maybe, uh, you and Electra
could, just to be safe, check Hayes's credentials
maybe in the security office with all the cameras?
CHARLIE: Oh, yeah.
You know what? I'll do you one better.
I got something very special for you.
-Are you good, Hayes? -Yeah!
-All right. -Let's go.
FINN: Thanks, guys.
-All right. -See you later.
Hey, so what's going on?
I can tell something's bothering you.
It isn't Sheila, is it?
She didn't...resurface?
No, it's, um...
it's about my dad.
He asked me to step down as co-CEO.
You are an incredibly vital part of this company.
You do know that, right?
Not vital enough to unseat Steffy
-or upset her. -Hey, don't do that.
I hate saying no to either one of you.
Can we agree on something?
Is it right to make a change when it's not necessary?
[soft, dramatic music plays]
[somber music plays]
Look, don't freak out, okay?
Of course I'm freaking out, Remy.
If Electra comes back in--
Well, then I'll duck out of sight.
She would never know I was here.
I thought I was clear before. I cannot do this!
This is not a game, Remy. This is my life.
-And this is Electra's life too! -Yeah, I know.
But it's my life too, cuz.
And right now, you're doing a lot better than I am.
I mean, I'm making deliveries
and picking up like random survival jobs along the way.
It's a far cry from the career I actually want.
Look, I know that fashion was always your dream.
But if you are thinking that I can help you,
especially after what you did to Electra...
You made her life hell!
She is still not over it and she may never be,
all because of you and those deepfakes!
I'm sorry you're going through all this, babe.
I can't believe stepping down was even a discussion.
Couldn't have been easy for Ridge asking you to step away.
No, but Brooke gave him all the talking points.
-Ha. -I told him how I felt.
I didn't hold back.
Good. You get through to him?
We'll see.
But I have to say it, Finn.
This does feel like a real loss,
knowing that my father would even suggest
having Brooke as his co-CEO.
I promise I will honor you.
I will honor the businesswoman, I will honor the scientist,
I will honor...
the model icon.
And I promise you you will have a voice.
It'll be loud and clear and everyone's gonna hear it.
Would I like to run this company with you? Yes, I would.
Do you deserve a chance to do that?
Yes, you absolutely do. But not now.
We have someone who's doing a great job.
And that's...
that's not just a proud father talking.
It's the truth. You know it is.
How do I do this, how do I choose between
my wife and my daughter, the two most...
The two most important people in my life?
I can't.
I hate it.
I hate this. I hate making you cry. I'm sorry.
These tears are not for me, Ridge.
They're for you.

DYLAN: Electra's life was turned upside down by those deepfakes.
Yeah, I know, and I hate myself for it.
It's just...
I was so confused back then.
About myself, about my sexuality.
I thought I was losing my best friend.
But I have been going to therapy, and believe me,
I understand that what I did was horribly wrong.
I just want a second chance, you know?
Especially with Deke.
Please, cuz, I know you two are friends.
Just promise me that when Deke comes back
you will remind him that I'm still that kind, caring guy
that he fell in love with.
Remy, I cannot think about you and your love life right now.
Yes, I'm concerned about myself,
but I'm even more concerned about Electra.
Oh, my God, I'm not some threat, Dylan.
I'm not like a creep, okay?
Mm, you say that, but you called me from a filtered phone,
you come to Forrester in a disguise,
I tell you to stay away, and then you show up here again
while I'm with Electra!
I mean, thank God she didn't see you.
That would have been traumatizing for her,
which is exactly why you have to promise me.
Promise what?
That you will not set foot in this building again.
You will not come near Electra or Will.
Promise me that you will stay away from all of us.
All right. Okay, I promise.
Look, I know my dad was put in a terrible position,
having to choose between his wife and his daughter, but...
Brooke, she doesn't obviously see it that way.
It's what she's always done,
come between my dad and my family.
You really think that's what's motivating Brooke?
I'm sure it's that and a dose of Hope complaining.
Hasn't she "won" enough, really?
-I know. -Come on.
I'm sorry, babe.
I can't imagine how difficult this has been for you.
You know what?
At the end of the day,
however this shakes out...
I get to come home to you and our family.
That's what matters.
I really appreciate you being here for me,
and it makes me feel like I'm the luckiest woman alive.
-I do feel that. -Yeah.
Of course, honey.
I can see the terrible position you're in.
The truth is...
I'm fine with who I am.
With my accomplishments at Forrester.
And I don't need the title to prove my value,
despite what I said.
But there is something that I want from you.
Okay.
You and I both wanna work with our daughters,
and we're at the age where
it's not so much about us anymore.
You know, it's about what we can give to them.
Our children.
And I've seen Hope work tirelessly for so many years
at Forrester Creations,
building her line,
and it's something that should be continued and respected.
So I'm just asking...
if maybe her line could be
reactivated.
Please, Ridge.
Just talk to Steffy...
on my daughter's behalf.

Steffy supported me. I'm not gonna let her down.
I'm not gonna let Electra down either.

But what about you and Will?
Come on. I know you have feelings for him.
I'm not thinking about Will right now. I can't.
My time for love and a relationship will come later,

"You're a great co-CEO.

the dress that I designed for you, but it looks...
lovely and relaxed. Maybe I should relax myself.
We can just lounge tonight.
Mm. That's not really what I had in mind.
-No? -Mm-mm.
Look at you. I turned you down as my co-CEO

Because I'm married to the most amazing man in the world.

-What text? -The text that I sent her
saying she's a great CEO.
You did that?
Yeah. I wanna keep the peace and harmony in the family.
There's something else that I want too.
What's that?
To show you just how much you mean to me.
