Steffy?

>> Eric: Look at this.
This is-this is exciting, right?

163
00:09:26,432 --> 00:09:29,402
Two beautiful, young designers.
Look at the two of you.

164
00:09:29,468 --> 00:09:31,671
One of them rejoining the team
and the other one learning the

165
00:09:31,737 --> 00:09:35,107
ropes.
<i>This</i> is how you build a legacy-

166
00:09:35,174 --> 00:09:39,312
right here.

>> Ivy: Oh, thank you so much.
>> Carter: Look, I know this all

168
00:09:43,549 --> 00:09:46,585
seems sudden, but I've always
admired Hope...

169
00:09:46,652 --> 00:09:51,390
what she stands for.
I mean, how could I not, right?

170
00:09:51,457 --> 00:09:59,265
She's smart, strong, caring.
Beautiful.

171
00:09:59,332 --> 00:10:01,500
>> Brooke: I believe you care
about Hope,

172
00:10:01,567 --> 00:10:04,737
but she's having a very
challenging time.

173
00:10:04,804 --> 00:10:08,841
>> Carter: Yeah. It was, um,
Thomas and then Finn.

174
00:10:08,908 --> 00:10:11,811
>> Brooke: Mm-hmm. It's more
than that.

175
00:10:11,877 --> 00:10:14,814
And her relationship with Liam
and how that ended.

176
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,952
That really hurt her.
I mean, how many times did she

177
00:10:20,019 --> 00:10:22,688
forgive him?
How many times did he go back

178
00:10:22,755 --> 00:10:26,025
and forth between her and
Steffy?

179
00:10:26,092 --> 00:10:29,929
And then when she made that
mistake, kissing Thomas,

180
00:10:29,996 --> 00:10:32,365
Liam didn't even try to
understand.

181
00:10:32,431 --> 00:10:35,968
He didn't offer any kind of
forgiveness.

182
00:10:36,035 --> 00:10:38,671
>> Carter: No, he was too
clouded by his hate for Thomas

183
00:10:38,738 --> 00:10:42,341
to allow that.
>> Brooke: Right.

184
00:10:42,408 --> 00:10:46,679
So he ended their marriage.
And, you know, as much as she

185
00:10:46,746 --> 00:10:49,348
kept saying she didn't wanna
follow in my footsteps, it seems

186
00:10:49,415 --> 00:10:53,152
like that's exactly what she was
doing.

187
00:10:53,219 --> 00:10:57,123
>> Carter: So you don't believe
she loved Thomas?

188
00:10:57,189 --> 00:11:01,260
>> Brooke: I think she liked the
loyalty that she got from him

189
00:11:01,327 --> 00:11:05,331
which she didn't get from Liam.
But that's why she couldn't end

190
00:11:05,398 --> 00:11:08,601
up marrying Thomas.
>> Carter: And then Thomas goes

191
00:11:08,667 --> 00:11:11,537
to France, taking Douglas with
him.

192
00:11:11,604 --> 00:11:14,173
>> Brooke: Yeah. My heart breaks
for her.

193
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,611
>> Carter: Mm.
Mine too.

194
00:11:18,677 --> 00:11:20,813
>> Brooke: I mean, she's really
trying to pull it together, you

195
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,982
know, trying to make something
of her life.

196
00:11:23,049 --> 00:11:26,485
And Steffy keeps stomping it.
She keeps threating to pull her

197
00:11:26,552 --> 00:11:30,322
line.
And that isn't business, Carter.

198
00:11:30,389 --> 00:11:33,292
That is personal.
Everything is personal with

199
00:11:33,359 --> 00:11:37,997
Steffy.
So you have to understand...

200
00:11:38,064 --> 00:11:43,302
if you really wanna be in Hope's
life, you can't waver.

201
00:11:43,369 --> 00:11:48,541
You have to be there for her,
one hundred percent.

202
00:11:48,607 --> 00:11:52,645
>> Carter: She has that in me.
She can lean on me, Brooke, and

203
00:11:52,711 --> 00:11:56,415
I won't budge.
I won't run,

204
00:11:56,482 --> 00:12:00,186
and she'll never have to
question my loyalty.

205
00:12:00,252 --> 00:12:04,323
There'll never be a day where
she won't have my support.
