You've defined beauty in the past
with Brooke's bedroom, and I'm excited
to see you do it again. >> Brooke: Well, thank you,
honey. It's still all sinking in.
>> Hope: Well, look, I do understand maybe some
of the hesitancy. Just please don't allow one
of those reasons to be Steffy. >> Brooke: [sighs]
She's not going to be very happy
when she hears the news. ♪♪♪
>> Ridge: Steffy, you more than anyone knows
how short life could be. Holding on to past grudges...
Come on. >> Steffy: Look, I know how much
you love me, and I want to do what's best
for us, but I can't just forget what the Logans have done.
>> Ridge: [sighs] And I'm not asking that, I...
Brooke is a sticking point. I get it.
Please, remember that it was me. I left you. I left your mom.
It was me. Be upset with me,
but I love Brooke. I have for a long time.
She's my person. And the Logans
and the Forresters aren't at odds anymore.
We're one big family.
Maybe not happy, but we're a family.
Crazy family, your kids, Hope's kids, all of us.
I know what this feud is you're holding on to.
Even your grandma let it go. Her and Brooke, they were
great friends in the end. What a waste of time.
They could have been so close for so long.
So let's not do this. Let's not repeat history.
I'm hoping, I'm really hoping you're gonna...
come on board with all of it.
I'm going ahead with Brooke with bedroom line.
And this whole social media blitz, it's...
it's gonna drop when Brooke and I are in Monte Carlo.
>> Steffy: What? Brooke's coming to Monte Carlo?
>> Poppy: I just can't shake off how upset I am.
>> Luna: Mom, don't give Katie this much power over you.
Like, look, I understand that us coming into Bill's life
is a big adjustment, but if Katie can't handle that,
then that's on her. >> Poppy: Okay, yes.
Okay, you're right. You're right. And there is
so much to be grateful for. And I know how much you are
loving your life right now. I am.
Well, you know, I--I loved our life before, too,
but this just feels... I don't know, like, complete.
I finally have a father. And... it's not just any father.
It's Bill Spencer, and... he's welcomed us with open arms.
>> Poppy: Of course he has. And, you know, Bill is
really lucky to have a daughter like you.
I know that I am. >> Luna: This is a really
special moment for us right now. >> Poppy: I love our life,
and I'm not gonna let anyone ruin it.
>> Bill: Well, I love our life as well.
And I agree. No one is going to ruin it.

me if I somehow mishandled Bill and Luna's paternity test?

I'm just wondering if there's any chance that the test could
be incorrect. ♪♪♪
>> Poppy: Um, Bill, I was just being a little dramatic.
I--I really didn't-- >> Bill: No, I agree.
You never have to hide your feelings from me.
No secrets. ♪♪♪
>> Li: So you're not implying I made an error
with the paternity test, but you're still asking
if it could be wrong? >> Katie: Please, don't take
this personally. I--I don't have your expertise,
but I'm... I'm sure these tests have
false results from time to time, and I'm just wondering if, uh...
it might not be correct. >> Li: My sister's really
alarmed you, huh? >> Katie: Yes. Yes, she has.
I keep on getting these weird vibes from her,
like she's hiding something. So...
Maybe the results aren't right. >> Li: No, Katie, the paternity
test is correct. Bill is Luna's father.
♪♪♪ >> Hope: Look, if Steffy is not
thrilled about the relaunch of the bedroom line, then...
you know, that's on her. We--we should be celebrating.
We shouldn't be worrying about her reaction.
And besides, I know Ridge cannot wait to get started.
>> Brooke: Honestly, I think he just enjoys me
trying on lingerie for him. >> Hope: Mom, I--
>> Brooke: Okay, I'm kidding. Okay? This is gonna be very
exciting, going to the Global Fashion Summit
and relaunching Brooke's Bedroom officially.
>> Hope: Hmm. Well, maybe it doesn't have to be
just business. I mean, it could be
a little bit of a romantic getaway for you and Ridge.
It might be just what you need. >> Brooke: I totally agree.

relaunch the bedroom line. >> Steffy: But, dad, I...
I thought it was just going to be the two of us.

>> Poppy: I'm sorry. I...
I didn't want to sound insecure or worried.
>> Bill: About what we have being ruined?
I would never let that happen. This is important to me, too.
I mean, it has literally changed my world.
And having a daughter... Especially one as remarkable
as Luna... has made me a different man.
I never expected it. But now that I have it,
I don't want to let it go. ♪♪♪
>> Katie: So these paternity tests are--are never faulty?
There's--there's never any room for error?
>> Li: It depends who administers them.
As you know, I ran the test myself,
taking out any room for error. >> Katie: Because you suspected
Poppy of the same thing I did, that she might alter
the results in her favor. Because you know
that she might do something as treacherous as lying
and trapping Bill into believing that he's Luna's father.
>> Li: I owe Bill my life after he saved me.
But I also care about my niece enough to not see her be hurt.
So I took charge, making sure there was no room
for doubt or uncertainty. And there wasn't, Katie.
The paternity test was correct. ♪♪♪
>> Hope: Things are going well. I mean, the Logans
and the Forresters could finally be working together
in harmony. But then it just seems
like Steffy wants to keep the feud alive and well, and if
she goes to Monte Carlo, then-- >> Brooke: She is definitely
planning on coming. I heard her talking about it.

gracefully to let you and Ridge have
a romantic getaway alone. ♪♪♪
>> Steffy: I was really looking forward to our trip
to Monte Carlo. I thought it was just gonna be
the two of us. >> Ridge: [sighs] I'm still
looking forward to it. It's gonna be the two of us.
We just added Brooke because she's--she's back now.
>> Steffy: Yeah, but our company's presence,
it goes way beyond Brooke's Bedroom line.
Our company is not just a lingerie company.
>> Ridge: I know that. But we create beauty, and we...
make women feel like they're desired.
And that's where the bedroom line comes in
because... At Forrester,
it doesn't matter if you're 20 or 40 or 80
or even 100 years old. Being beautiful,
that never goes away. ♪♪♪
Monte Carlo is the right location and Brooke
is the right spokesperson, and...
I'm hoping you can support that. ♪♪♪
>> Poppy: You're not the only
one who sees the world differently.
You've changed my life, too. I've always been
fiercely protective. I mean, especially
when it comes to Luna. From the day she was born,
I just held her so incredibly close to me.
So for me to share her or to not be the only parent,
it's a huge deal. You say that we changed
your life. You've changed our lives
in more ways than you can possibly imagine.
>> Luna: I'm just so grateful that you're my father.
♪♪♪ >> Li: Believe me,
I understand how difficult this must be for you, Katie,
seeing your ex-husband with another woman.
>> Katie: He was bound to move on sooner or later.
I mean, honestly, that's what I wanted for him.
>> Li: But still, it's to see him with a new
family in the same home where you raised your son.
Uh... It must be challenging. >> Katie: It is. But it's not
so much the new family. I mean,
we would have made that work. It's more the...
this territorial vibe I'm getting from your sister.
I mean, just, something seems off.
>> Li: Something always feels off when it comes to Penelope.
That's why I stormed over to Bill's
and demanded I administer the paternity test.
It just felt like she was up to something.
But I was wrong, Katie. She wasn't lying.
Bill is, without a shadow of a doubt, Luna's father.
♪♪♪ >> Hope: You know, I hate
that we can't just enjoy your accomplishments,
that we have to worry about Steffy and her constant
disapproval. >> Brooke: It's not all
her fault, Hope. There's a history of conflict
between our families, especially her mother and me.
>> Hope: Okay, well, don't you think it's about time
she got over it? Her dad is a grown man.
He made a choice. He wants to be with you,
and he picked you to be the face of the relaunch
of one of the most successful lines at Forrester Creations.
This is your time. It is well deserved.
So you and Ridge, you are going to go to Monte Carlo.
And, yes, Steffy will be there, too.

If Steffy wants to have a pity party, fine.
We will let her. But you...
promise me that you will enjoy this trip with Ridge,

and she doesn't really care about empowering women.
This is about her. She wants all the attention.
She's good at it. She manipulated you
with a lingerie line. >> Ridge: Oh, is she?
I'm played that easily? >> Steffy: Yeah, I think so.

I had to convince her to do the bedroom line.
You were there. >> Steffy: Fine. Fine. Okay.
If you want to revamp the line, and you want Brooke
as the spokesperson... Okay, fine.
Let's do it. But please, let's just
not have her come to Monte Carlo.
>> Ridge: Steffy-- >> Steffy: No. When was the last
time you and I had actual time together without kids,
without our significant others? Like, I feel like life is
pulling us in so many different directions, and I was really
looking forward to this, Dad. >> Ridge: I'm still looking
forward to it. We were doing it. >> Steffy: Yeah, but Brooke
is tagging along with us now. >> Ridge: Because it's better
for business. >> Steffy: I personally think
it's gonna be a huge flop. >> Ridge: I don't agree.
>> Steffy: Well, that sucks, because as co-CEO's,
we need to support each other in these big decisions.

and maybe give each other the benefit of the doubt.
Look, we're gonna have a photo shoot here,
and it's gonna be all beautiful models.
We'll do all that. But in Monte Carlo,
it's gonna be Brooke. 'Cause she's just better
at selling this stuff than anybody else.

that means? >> Poppy: I have no idea.
You know, I am sick and tired of this.
And first my sister questions my character

Can you put that on again? 'Cause I think
it needs an adjustment, just... professional stuff, obviously.

You can have such an impact on so many women
all over the world. >> Brooke: I'm really flattered.
I am. You have a way of making me

beautiful and sexy. >> Brooke: I just can't help

between you and your daughter.
>> Steffy: This isn't a good time, Hope.

something to do with your father and my mother?
I heard the good news about the bedroom line.
Really excited about the photo shoot.
And the social media drop to coincide with the
Global Fashion Summit in Monte Carlo.
I think putting my mom front and center is really going
to be great for the company. >> Steffy: Are you trying to get
rise out of me? >> Hope: Why would I want
to do that? Like, my mother and I care
about this company. You're the only one
who doesn't seem excited about her return.
She deserves this, Steffy. And this opportunity
means a lot to her. >> Steffy: Yeah.
My father used to be my co-CEO. That's not the case anymore.
Brooke's in the middle. We were supposed to go
to... Monte Carlo together and now Brooke's tagging along.
My father and I, we used to have a really good
bond, but... clearly things are changing.
>> Hope: I... I...
understand. >> Steffy: Please don't try
to patronize me. >> Hope: I'm not, actually.
I would be hurt if I expected to,
you know, share an experience with my father only for that
to be given to someone else. But I do think this issue
is maybe bigger than us. And your problems
are my problems. I think this comes down
to our parents' happiness. They've been through so much
over the years. There's so many ups and downs.
And now I feel like they're... They're finally where they
need to be. They finally found their footing
and so I don't think we should stand in the way
of that. I think... we need to support them.
