The wedding was so beautiful!
And Hope and Liam were so happy.
Oh, and Beth was so cute officiating the wedding.
I can't wait to see the pictures.
You were missed.
I was missed by Spencer? That is so sweet.
-By me. -Oh.
I missed having you on my arm.
And Bill was very gracious.
And the weddings were very emotional.
Weddings? What do you mean weddings?
Liam and Hope weren't the only ones who got married today.
Get on in here, Mrs. Spencer.
-Yes, sir, Mr. Spencer. -[chuckling]
You know, only you would think a trip to the office
is an appropriate excursion after we get married.
[Bill laughs]
There's a reason I brought you here.
Gonna break the news to the staff?
I'll have my assistant send a memo.
Well, clearly, you're up to something,
so I'll play your funny game. And I suppose it makes sense.
I mean, Spencer Publications is your firstborn.
And it is...pretty romantic being up here
over the city with you.
If you need to see me earlier,
I have time first thing in the morning.
I'm really glad I was here to get your call.
Uh, okay. I'll see you soon.
-Deacon! -I hope that you don't mind
I came by unannounced.
How can I mind when you bring me pizza?
That's a good point.

I really am happy for Hope and Liam.
Oh, it was such a great day.
I mean, my granddaughter, she ran a top-notch ceremony.
So I've been told.
Kelly's been blowing up my phone.
She's very impressed with Beth's officiating
-and the food. -Well, Kelly crushed it,
and Beth is absolutely her mother's daughter.
I mean, the whole thing went off without a hitch.
So no surprises?
None. No, it was great, start to finish.
I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that.
Because I was afraid there might be a huge surprise.
Sheila...
showed up here earlier.
Very agitated. And I think...
tempted to crash Hope and Liam's wedding.
You know it is at weddings.
Everybody getting caught up in the moment,
two people building a life together.
It's very magical and sentimental.
It's all those things. But who got married?
Please tell me it wasn't Will and Electra,
because those guys are too young.
No. No, it's the other Spencer couple.
Katie and Bill.
What am I doing? We can't--
We can't celebrate with scotch.
-Well, you did with Liam. -Well, you deserve champagne.
And let me tell you something. Once me make this marriage legal
and binding, it will be the finest bubbly in the world.
And the honeymoon? Ha!
You're not even prepared for that.
But most important...
we're back together as a family.
You know, I have a little something for you.
Um, much like you've
carried around a substantial diamond ring in your pocket,
I also have a gift that I have been trying to figure out
the right time and place to give to you.
And it actually makes a pretty good wedding present.
I don't need a wedding present.
All I need is my Katie.
Something's missing.
I have everything I need right here.
Except for this.
My sword necklace.
It's a Spencer original.
Yeah. I put that away a long time ago.
I want you to wear it again.
You know why I took it off.
I do.
But it's not the sword that matters.
It's the man who wears it.
Maybe it led you astray before,
but it doesn't have to represent the darkness.
It can represent my belief in you.

Sorry to repay your kindness with bad news.
No. See? This is exactly what I get
for thinking that Sheila listened to me.
You told her she wasn't invited to Hope's wedding?
Yeah, and I thought she'd respect it.
And then when she didn't show up, I figured that she did.
Instead, she showed up here.
Hurt and upset.
I mean, your daughter's wedding was a family affair.
Your son was there.
Even Liam's brother and his girlfriend.
Sheila felt like she should be there too.
It stung to be excluded.
I know.
She felt like it was the perfect occasion
to show everyone that you're reunited
-and back together. -Taylor, it wasn't my call.
I mean, you know, this was Liam and Hope's ceremony.
I was just a guest. Did she come over here
and say that she was gonna go over there and cause a scene?
Thankfully she didn't, but yeah, the way she was talking,
she made it seem like a real possibility.
That exactly the kind of stuff that's got me worried.
You went to the ceremony hoping she wouldn't show up.
Which means part of you thought she might.
Part of you is worried she's backsliding.
After what I saw today...
I have to admit I'm worried about Sheila too.
I know you wanna make this sound like
it's a wedding for the ages, but I really thought
your sister was smarter than that.
Thought she was gonna stay away from that clown.
Are you done amusing yourself?
No.
You're smiling too. Come on. It's silly.
-It's a silly thing. -Well, I can't help it.
It happens every time I'm around you.
You know, I kept thinking about you waiting here for me
-as I was driving home. -Really?
Mm-hmm.
All right. I don't wanna crush that,
but I wasn't actually sitting here waiting.
-Oh. -I just got home
a little while ago. I was at the office.
I had a really nice conversation with my dad,
one of the nicest ones we've had in a long time.
And we got the clear the air a little bit.
-About? -About...
his possible retirement.
Well, it's not a possible retirement anymore.
He, uh...
he stepped away.
I stopped wearing this for a reason.
Because you thought you had to give up a part of yourself
in order to be a good father, a good partner.
But do you remember what I said to you
when I first put this around your neck?
I said that this doesn't have to define you.
That the man who wears it it still powerful,
still resolute, unyielding.
But he's better
and stronger than ever before.
This is about embracing our future.
That was a long time ago.
Now it's a symbol of my past.
I don't want you to give up your past.
Your past is what's made you who you are.
And I love who you are.
That sword, my wearing it...
-it doesn't scare you? -No.
I want all of you...
past, present, and future.
Let's see how it looks.
You are the strength of the Spencer family.
You're a warrior.
Our protector.
This doesn't have to change you.
You have always had the power inside of you.
Now you know how to use it.
I love you.
The sword...
more your meaning behind it...
it means everything.
Well, now the pressure's on.
If I can just come up with a significant gift for you.
Oh, well. You gave me this,
-and that ain't nothin'. -[chuckling]
You also gave me this.
You've always had that...
even when you didn't think you did.
But--but, no, something... something new.
Anything!
Tell me anything, anything that you want.
-Hmm. -Another tiara?
-Oh! Oh. -Huh?
No, no, but I do love a good tiara.
[chuckling]
[whispering] My Katie.
The most incredible woman that I have ever known.
Talented and driven,
always the smartest woman in the room.
Even if those arrogant Forresters
don't want to admit it.
But I see what they don't.
I see what they're afraid to see.
It's infuriating.
They think they know everything about fashion?
Why don't they recognize your abilities,
the incredible contributions you could make?
You deserve more.
So much more.
[soft music plays]
So you're worried about Sheila too.
I've tried to keep my...
personal opinions out of our discussions.
Did she threaten you?
No! No. Quite the opposite, actually.
Deacon, I'm not comfortable
with how much credit Sheila gives me
for saving your marriage.
I'm your therapist.
I'm not a couple's marriage counselor.
Yeah. She's overstepping.
It's just a lack of awareness,
the respect of boundaries.
I'm not saying she's unstable.
I haven't forgotten that she risked her life to save Steffy.
But you still have questions.
Serious ones.
But I'm not the one who should be asking.
She's your wife.
Whatever goes on in your marriage and your family...
But you can help.
I can help you.
You thought she might...
show up and crash the wedding,
even though you asked her not to.
I mean, I understand why she'd wanna go.
Because you care about her.
You didn't want her hurt by this.
But it hurt you too, didn't it?
Being caught in the middle?
Robbed of the joy of your daughter's wedding,
unable to celebrate with your whole family?
Listen, Deacon, I just...
I just want the best for you.
I'm the reason he retired.
You don't want him to work so hard.
You don't want him to risk his health.
You obviously don't want to lose him.
I don't want to lose him. Also, I don't want him to lose
his passion for design, and I pushed him
out of the company. I did that.
Well, you said he cleared the air.
So what did he say?
He said he understands why I did what I did.
Well, that's wonderful.
I love my dad.
I look up to him, you know, and...
all I wanna do is carry his legacy forward.
I-I just...
I want him to be proud of me.
And I think he is.
Of course he is.
He's gonna try retirement.
But I did tell him the door's always open.
This is where you belong.
I have a place at Forrester.
Though I do have to admit that lately
I have begun to wonder what my future is there,
what Will's future is.
I mean, we're family, but we're not Forresters.
And I'm not like my sisters.
I didn't marry into the aristocracy.
And it is the Brooke and Ridge show right now.
I-I love my sister, and I am so happy
and grateful that they were at our wedding.
But you're right, I do, I have aspirations
and dreams of my own.
-Career goals. -Yes. Of course. Absolutely.
I'm a Logan.
And we have a legacy at Forrester too.
But I'm not Brooke, and clearly,
my position is not as secure as hers is.
And I...I do feel like there will always be a glass ceiling.
I agree. A hundred percent.
I have something to show you.
[soft, dramatic music plays]
Feel like I'm being a Debbie Downer
-on your daughter's wedding day. -No. No, look, hey,
I came here with my own concerns.
Probably hoping I'd calm them.
I mean, you know, Taylor, I know when I come here
that you're gonna give it to me straight.
So tell me about the wedding.
I'm sure it was a wonderful family celebration.
One without Sheila.
You're a good person, Deacon.
You're smart.
Sharp.
I see what you did there.,
Mm-hmm.
And charming.
You're successful. You're the whole package.
-Whole package? -I'm just saying
I hope Sheila's everything you deserve and need
in a woman.
What is it? What's that look?
Uh, well, it's-- it's just been a good day.
For all of us, you know?
Seeing Katie and Bill get married
and Hope and Liam.
Kind of reminded me of how blessed I am
-to have you in my life. -Yeah?
Turns out it was a great day.
For the Spencers and the Logans.
You know, I didn't expect to spend this much time
at the office on our honeymoon.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, well,
uh, just trust me.
You're gonna like this.
And I wanna be really clear. This was my plan all along,
regardless of whether or not we got married.
Your dreams are more important to me than my own.
Because nothing makes me happier than seeing you fulfilled.
What is this?
I've had my top people working on it.
-I don't understand. -[chuckling]
I didn't get you a tiara, Katie.
I'm building you a runway.
Your own showroom.
And before you tell me it's too much,
nothing is too much for you.
I hear everything you say, Katie,
and I hear everything you don't say--
your love of fashion,
how underappreciated you are at Forrester.
Well, take a look.
No glass ceiling there. In fact, no ceiling at all.
You gave me this sword necklace saying you believe in me.
Well, I believe in you.
So this is my wedding present
for the most remarkable woman
that I know.
Your own fashion house.
-Fashion house? -That's right.
You know more about fashion
than all those Forresters put together,
so this is your launching pad.
I am going to fuel your passion for the love of fashion,
and you are going to debut your own fashion house
right there on that runway.
I...
Oh, my God, I-I...
I don't know what to say. You--
You have that much faith in me?
Of course I do.
You ran Forrester. You know what it takes
to hit big in that industry.
You will get the right designers.
You will assemble the right team.
You will tell the right stories, and you will win.
This is for you, Katie.
I love you so much.
I love you.
