>> Hope: For once, can you just
admit it? That you feel threatened
by the Logan's. You always have
and you always will. >> Steffy: Hardly.
>> Hope: Well, your actions say otherwise.
I mean, trying to eliminate my line from Forrester?
Without even giving it a chance to recover?
I mean, luckily you were stopped.
By your own father, no less. But Hope for the Future is
going to remain an integral part of this company.
And so will I. And so will my mother.
Like it or not, the Logan's are here to stay.
>> Brooke: This is the-- the last thing I ever expected.
>> Ridge: No, no I can see that, but I'm not sure why.
You love this company as much as I do.
You would be the perfect person for this job.
So what do you say? Will you help Steffy and me
lead this company forward? >> RJ: So this has gotta be one
of the best days ever for Luna. She finally knows who
her father is. >> Li: My sister could've told
her a long time ago. She chose not to.
>> Katie: Because she wasn't sure it was Bill
until the paternity test? >> Li: Yes, well...
This definitely changes everything.
>> RJ: Especially for Luna. >> Katie: Bill too.
He's got a daughter. There's a lot of lost time
to make up for. Which I'm sure he's realizing.
>> Luna: Mom, are you okay? >> Poppy: Beyond.
To see you this happy. To see you both this happy.
It's just everything I could wish for.
And so much more.
♪♪♪
>> RJ: Do you think I should go over there right now?
I don't wanna interrupt their big moment.
>> Katie: Sure, why not? I mean, what's Bill gonna do?
>> RJ: Throw me out and send like a guard dog after me
or something? >> Katie: Oh, don't worry
about the dogs. Their bark is worse
than their bite. Besides, I have a feeling that
whatever Bill's new daughter wants to do, then he'll do it.
>> Li: Go. I'm sure Luna has so much
to share with you. >> RJ: Yeah, Bill's daughter.
It's crazy. >> Katie: You don't seem as
excited about this as RJ. >> Li: Are you?
I mean, what I am is shocked. I truly believed that
Poppy was trying to trap Bill. Turns out she wasn't.
Luna is really Penelope and Bill's daughter.
>> Katie: Yeah. >> Poppy: My heart has never
felt so full. I loved you before, Bill.
But I love you even more now that we share a child.
>> Brooke: You want me to join you and Steffy?
>> Ridge: Well, mostly Steffy, 'cause I'll be designing.
But you'd be perfect for this job.
You know everything about fashion.
You-- you know what our customers want before
they know it. And I would love it if you
could take that magic and apply it to other parts
of this company. >> Brooke: You're really serious
about this. >> Ridge: I am.
I know you've given so much to Forrester already,
but you have so much more to offer.
>> Brooke: Ah, I-- I don't know what to say.
>> Ridge: I do. Say yes.
>> Steffy: No one is trying to give you and your mom the boot.
That's not how things work around here.
>> Hope: But it's how you would like it to work, Steffy.
I mean, you would like nothing more than to get rid of us,
Logan's. >> Steffy: Okay, Hope, I think
you're being paranoid. >> Hope: I-- I wish I were.
I wish this was all in my head, but we both know it isn't.
>> Steffy: Think whatever you want.
But this reprieve your line has gotten, it's only temporary.
Yes, my father and Carter, they support your line right now.
But once it fails, again, it's going to get the axe.
That's it. >> Finn: You wanna cancel
Hope's line?
>> Katie: I don't know Poppy very well. I've only met her once.
But my first impression wasn't how you were portraying her.
>> Li: Well, you don't have the history that we do.
But take it from me, my sister can be very convincing
when she needs to be. >> Katie: So she's just putting
on this act for my benefit? >> Li: Ah, well, I think
she knows how important you are to Bill, so you're important
to her too. >> Katie: I don't understand.
>> Li: I don't think my sister wants to raise any red flags
with the people that care about Bill the most.
Especially the mother of his youngest son.
She wants you and them to believe that she is sweet
and innocent. But I know a whole different
side of my sister. How she operates.
>> Katie: She's really that calculating?
>> Li: Well, she's had the same pattern for many years when
it comes to rich, handsome, older men.
I just assumed it was the same with Bill.
But now that it's been proven that Luna is Bill's child...
>> Katie: So maybe you're starting to see your sister
in a more favorable light? >> Poppy: I don't mean
to put you on the spot. I know I've been dropping
the L-word left and right since we discovered this
incredible news. >> Bill: You're not putting me
on the spot at all. All I feel is blessed.
Blessed to have two beautiful, intelligent, strong women
in my life. And like I told your mom.
How could I not love her? For giving me you.
And the amazing young woman you are.
[ door opens ] >> RJ: Hey, it's me.
>> Luna: He's my dad. Bill Spencer is my dad.
>> Brooke: You have to know, I am flattered.
>> Ridge: I wasn't trying to flatter you.
I was trying to convince you. >> Brooke: And I love you
for that. >> Ridge: Why does it sound like
there's a "but" coming? >> Brooke: But.
>> Ridge: No, why? >> Brooke: It's a huge
responsibility. >> Ridge: But you've done
this before. You've helped lead this company.
It was in worse shape than it is now.
This is going to be a breeze. It won't be a breeze.
It's not going to be a breeze. But, it's-- you can handle this.
You can. >> Brooke: Okay.
I appreciate your confidence. I really do, but you're not
exactly objective. >> Ridge: I'm not objective
about my family's company? I am the picture of
objectivity. I wouldn't have asked you if I
didn't think you were right. >> Brooke: Well, thank you.
That's nice that you realize my value.
But, one more question. What about Steffy?
How do you think she's gonna react to all of this?
>> Finn: Wait, did I hear you right?
I-- Hope for the Future. That's-- that's like one of
Forrester's premier lines. You're thinking about
eliminating it? >> Hope: That is exactly what
Steffy wants. She would love nothing more
than to see Hope for the Future and me disappear.
>> Steffy: That is not true. You're twisting my intentions.
>> Hope: Well, your intentions could cost me the line that
I'm so proud of. >> Finn: Well, you--
you should be proud. You've done some amazing,
meaningful things with Hope for the Future.
That's why I don't understand. Steffy, why are you doing this
to Hope?
>> Li: I have so much respect and admiration for your ex-husband.
You know, he's a wonderfully caring man.
He literally saved my life. From Sheila.
After my run-in with her. >> Katie: When she ran you off
the pier. >> Li: Yeah.
I lost my memory. I didn't know who I was.
I was barely hanging on when Bill found me
down by the wharf. Behind a restaurant.
I was lost. Traumatized.
But he was so kind and caring. He brought me to his home.
Nursed me back to health. That's why I was so adamant
about protecting Bill. I'm here today because of your
ex-husband, Katie. >> Katie: And now your sister
has a daughter with him. >> Li: Yeah.
>> RJ: I'm so happy for you. For all of you.
>> Bill: Even me? >> RJ: Yes, even you.
This is about family and-- and a daughter finally getting
to know who her dad is. >> Luna: Exactly.
I mean, all these years of wondering.
And after just one paternity test, all my questions have
been answered. Bill's my father.
I mean, how lucky am I? >> Bill: No, how lucky am I
having you for my daughter? Hit the jackpot, didn't I, RJ?
>> RJ: Yes, you did. This woman is...
She's perfect. And you should definitely take
care of her. Yeah? >> Bill: I will more than
take care of her. I will love and protect Luna.
Love you too. The three of us have missed out
on so much time together. So many memories, birthdays,
Christmases, and just the moments of everyday
life together. But that makes what we have
that much more special. And I don't wanna waste
a moment. Not one precious moment.
>> Brooke: Steffy may not want me working with both of you.
A Logan? >> Steffy: I am not doing
anything to Hope. >> Finn: Well, no, to her line,
then. Because it sounds like
you're making a-- >> Steffy: Babe, babe,
you're a doctor. You need to stay in your lane.
I know Forrester Creations. I know what lines are thriving
and what lines are on their way out.
>> Hope: And Steffy has single-handedly decided that
mine is heading that way. Just because Hope for the Future
had one quarter that hit a rough patch, she thinks it
should be on the chopping block without giving it any chance
to recover. >> Finn: Well, are you-- are you
confident that it can? >> Hope: Absolutely.
There is ample opportunity to bounce back.
And I am not alone in thinking that.
>> Finn: What do you mean? >> Steffy: She means that
my father and Carter agree with her.
>> Hope: No, not just agree. They stopped her from killing
my line. >> Steffy: Okay, if Hope for the
Future continues this downward trend, it's going to be
an issue. >> Hope: Okay, can we be
honest here? This is about so much more than
just my line and Hope for the Future.
Steffy, you are making this personal.
Look, she doesn't wanna just cut my line, Finn.
She wants to eliminate the Logan's from Forrester Creations
for good.
>> Katie: You have quite a connection with Bill. >> Li: He will always have
a special place in my heart for what he did for me.
For being such a remarkable man.
[ Li sighs ] >> Li: I just hope Penelope
deserves him. >> Bill: If I could, I would get
back the lost years that we all missed out on.
Of course, I can't do that, but what I can do is
take advantage of the time we do have.
Which is why I want you to move into my home.
>> Luna: Move in? >> Poppy: Uh, here?
Your home? >> Bill: Yes, I am determined
to make up for everything that we missed out on together.
I mean, you are my family now. You and my-- my three boys.
And they're gonna love having a sister, by the way.
>> Poppy: Um, are you sure this is what you truly want, Bill?
You're willing to open up your home to Luna and me?
>> Bill: Yes, absolutely. Like I said, we're a family.
And our life as a family begins right here and right now.
>> Ridge: Listen, I realize you and Steffy haven't always seen
things eye to eye, but... You're a great businesswoman,
she's a great businesswoman, and...
I love you both very much. >> Brooke: And we love you too.
But I'm sure you could see my point.
Steffy is a very strong-willed person, and so am I.
I can already foresee us butting heads.
>> Ridge: So what? Steffy and I don't agree on
everything, like this Hope for the Future thing.
She wanted to shelve it, I wanted to give it another
chance. She wasn't happy with me, but
in the end it all worked out. And if you have an argument,
it'll be the same thing. >> Brooke: I would like
to believe that. >> Ridge: Well, then believe it.
Done. It's easy as that.
The two of you running this company together, I--
I think it'd be great. And maybe that would be good
for your relationship outside the office as well.
>> Finn: Look, you know how I feel.
Our families are intertwined, it's important we all get along.
>> Steffy: I agree. But Hope is taking my business
decisions and making it personal.
>> Hope: Oh, wow, you know what? Say that all you want.
You might even be able to convince yourself of that.
But the reality is, you've not only been trying to sabotage me
here at work, you've been trying to sabotage
my entire life. >> Steffy: Hope, for the love
of God, will you-- Oh, hold on.
I just got a text from Carter. Look, I-- I gotta go.
He says it's important. Look, babe, I know
you're trying to help, but I appreciate you respecting
my decisions here at the office. Okay?
>> Finn: Okay. Hmm.
>> Hope: I am so sorry, Finn. I really, I didn't intend
to drag you into the middle of all this.
>> Finn: It's okay. >> Hope: No, no, no,
actually it's not okay. Just like it is not okay
for Steffy to continually attack and target my family just
because we're Logan's. I-- I--
Which is what she's doing, by the way.
You know, in spite of what she says.
Oh, my God. I hate this.
I didn't want this.
I didn't want our two families pitted against
each other again. But she just kept coming
after me, and it's like, I am just exhausted
from all this. >> Finn: You alright?
>> Hope: I'm great. I'm just fine.
>> Finn: It doesn't look like it.
>> Hope: Well, you know, just another one of those
rolling migraines coming in. Actually, do you mind doing
that little thingy? >> Finn: Oh, yeah, sure.
>> Hope: Thank you. >> Finn: Not at all.
>> Finn: How's that? Is it helping?
>> Hope: Yes.
