>> Carter: What you're doing is
wrong, and I won't allow it. >> Steffy: You won't allow me
to fire Hope? >> Carter: Killing Hope for
the Future is an extreme overreaction, Steffy.
It doesn't just hurt Hope. It hurts the entire company.
As your COO, I'm telling you you can't do this.
>> Steffy: Oh, yes, we can. Forrester's a private company.
We call the shots. It is our decision.
And my father agrees with me. Hope for the Future is history.
>> Zende: What kind of game is Steffy playing here?
>> Hope: [sighs] I honestly don't know.
I just know it's gotten out of control, this power trip she's
on. >> Zende: Uh, one minute she's
supporting the line, and then the next, it's finished.
>> Hope: Well, not if Carter has anything to do with it.
>> Zende: Do you really think that Carter can get through to
him? >> Hope: I really hope so.

and I'm hoping that you can look over the prospectus.

So... I've been meaning to ask you.

you know, living here in this house all by yourself?
It wasn't that long ago that Poppy and Luna were living here
with you. You thought you had a daughter.

I could ever look at you again. Not after all the, uh...
things that you've done.
But you are my daughter...

>> Zende: Our last collection might have missed the mark,
but this next one is fire. And Steffy just wants to scrap
it all? Pour millions of dollars down
the drain just over some vendetta?
>> Hope: I think she is trying to erase my contributions to
Forrester's legacy. I mean, any of the Logans,
really. But...I don't think it's over
just yet, Zende. I-I really do think there might
be a chance for Hope for the Future.
>> Zende: Because of Carter. Wow.
He must really believe in you. And the line.
>> Steffy: I hate to say it, Carter, but you've been
compromised. Hope's gotten into your head
somehow. I wish you could see it, because
this is a Logan move-- >> Carter: A Logan move?
Steffy, come--we have to stop with this Logan versus Forrester
rivalry--it's ridiculous. It will undermine this company.
Look, make no mistake, either of you--
if you continue down this road, Forrester will never recover.
Will never be the same. ♪♪♪
>> Carter: Look, I get it. It's your name on the building.
But you can't dismiss the contributions that Hope and her
family have made over the years. >> Steffy: Okay, Carter, I've
heard enough. I think you need to focus on
your job and stop trying to be Hope's savior.
>> Carter: Ridge. >> Ridge: Hmm.
>> Carter: You can't go along with this.
>> Ridge: Look, I-I-- I think Steffy's right.
I think all of us, we all need to focus on our
responsibilities. I don't wanna talk about Hope
anymore.
>> Zende: It's not your fault,
Hope. Everything has been crazy
around here lately anyway. >> Hope: [laughs]
Tell me about it. It's like there's something
in the air. >> Zende: The whole Luna
situation--it still blows my mind.
>> Hope: I'm still so sorry that you got wrapped up in all that.
>> Zende: You mean her lying about being on drugs to sleep
with me? It messes with my head.
>> Hope: That entire situation was a mess.
I mean, have you heard from her ever since she went to prison?
>> Zende: No, and I hope I never do.
I wanna forget all about Luna Nozawa.
>> Bill: Can't help thinking of Luna occasionally.
>> Katie: You were so good to her, Bill.
I can only imagine how betrayed you must feel.
I mean, I-I still can't believe she kissed you.
>> Bill: Well, you know what? That's-that's all in the past.
I'm focusing on-on Will, my real family.
I was hoping that the three of us could spend some time
together soon. [phone notification plays]

the office. Thank you for looking that over.
>> Bill: No problem.
>> Luna: I've tried getting in touch with you.
>> Poppy: I wasn't ready yet.
I'm still not ready.
None of this will ever make any sense to me.
>> Luna: To me either. Mom, you know me.
>> Poppy: You were my baby. Ha. My sweet little girl.
>> Luna: I still am your sweet little girl.
>> Poppy: How could you be so capable of-of such--
>> Luna: Of such evil? It's like something took over
inside of me. I mean, what I did, that is not
me--that's not who I am. Look, I can't-I can't explain
it, I don't understand how it happened, but it's like...
I lost all my senses, like- like a switch flipped inside my
brain. Like temporary insanity.
Please, I'm begging you, okay? You have to believe me.
I didn't mean to do any of this--I swear!
Mom, please, tell me that you forgive me.

protect the family, to protect Forrester.

in the process? Did you consider me at all?
Am I ever going to get anywhere in this company?

You forced Hope to face those employees like a walk of shame.

that. It's humiliating--you should be
ashamed of yourself. >> Ridge: Whoa, Carter, take a
breath. >> Carter: Take a breath?
So I-I-I can't talk? You're gonna silence me too?
Is this who you are now, Ridge? You get wrapped up in stupid
kisses and in petty gossip and misunderstandings?

dollar business decisions? Because--

No. You gotta fix that. That's your job.

You say we're partners, that we're brothers, that I'm

It's out of that same love that I spent years, Ridge--I spent
years developing a plan to secure your family's legacy,
