Will is playing us, Dad.
I had no idea what my parents were up to. I swear.
They went behind Granddad's back.
They exploited him, exploited his talent, his reputation,
and I bet you anything this one here was in on it.
I wasn't. I wouldn't do that.
I would not do that to Eric.
And why should we believe you?
You're a Spencer...
and Spencers can't be trusted.
Dad, you have to fire him. You have to fire Will.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
We did it, Katie!
We launched like a rocket.
The whole industry is going nuts.
Liam and I instructed all our media outlets
to capitalize on our big news.
This is great!
Come here.
Come on. Dance with me.
Uh...
Don't let the Forresters rain on your parade.
I know, I know.
It just--Brooke is-- she is...furious.
She came back after you left.
I think this is gonna be war.
Oh, my God. Congratulations.
- How do you feel? - I'm excited.
- I'm nervous, though. - It's totally normal.
That's how I felt my first day at Forrester.
Right. I'm sorry. I don't mean to seem insensitive
after you were let go from the company.
Don't worry about it.
I'm...I'm stoked for you, Dylan.
Thank you.
Honestly, it's crazy I even have this opportunity.
All because of Steffy.
Wonderful, McKenzie. If you can get that to me today,
it would be great.
All right, thank you. Yeah, you too. Bye.
- What's wrong? -What's wrong?
I mean, you hired Ms. Dylan!
Yes, I did, as a matter of fact.
- Well, undo it. - Excuse me?
Dylan was a friend of Electra's, and she betrayed her.
She can't work here!
You deserve this, Dylan.
You...you've been through so much.
Honestly, this job couldn't have come at a better time.
Not that I didn't appreciate washing dishes--because I did.
It's okay. The kitchen life wasn't your vibe,
but you better come by for lunch.
I will. I promise. All the time.
Deal.
Think you'll be really happy working there.
Definitely.
Although there's one person
who will notbe happy to see me there.
Electra and I already discussed this.
Well, I don't think you have the full picture.
I don't want it. It's their private business.
Steffy, do you have any idea how inappropriate
Dylan has been with Will? O-or do you just not care?
I know that you feel sorry for her,
- but she cannot-- - This is not up for debate.
I'm not changing my mind.
War, huh?
Okay. What else did she say?
Yeah. Uh, she said a lot.
That, uh, we're taking advantage of Eric, of course.
That I crossed a line.
That I'm doing this for revenge and that I'm going to regret it.
Not a chance.
And look, this rift with Brooke...
it'll take some time, but it's gonna pass.
I'm not so sure about that.
Katie, I know I keep saying this...
but you have gotto stop letting Brooke get in your head.
This is yourcareer. This is your time to shine.
And as far as being worried about Eric, don't be!
We gave him exactly what he was looking for--
respect, validation. I mean, people out there
are practically drooling over his designs.
Come on, celebrate with me.
Celebrate everything that we're accomplishing.
And, you know, maybe, just maybe we can, uh,
get our son to leave Forrester and join us here.
I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to fire me, Ridge.
It's shameful what my father's done.
Shameful. And there's no excuse.
No, there isn't.
But there is some good news today.
You are not your father.
You're not going anywhere.
And the two of you are gonna have to figure it out.
You're grown men and you have to work together.
Thank you. Thank you, Ridge.
Now I'll let the two of you discuss things
while I go give my father a piece of my mind.
I wasn't sure what to wear. Do you think this is okay?
Yeah, no, it's polished, it's stylish
but it's not like you're trying too hard.
You're gonna fit right in.
Thank you.
- I hope so. - Okay. Don't forget to breathe.
You don't have anything
to be anxious about... even about seeing Electra.
That's easier for you to say.
No, listen.
You're gonna be perfect.
- You're gonna be just fine. - Oh, thank you, Deke.
You're the best.
You know, there's a lot you don't know about Dylan.
I know that you and Will broke up
and Dylan's still living at the guest house.
She took advantage.
She got cozy, and she made herself right at home.
Okay. I'm CEO of this company.
I don't need to know the details.
- We need to be professional. - So you won't even hear me out?
I've heard enough, Ivy. Frankly, too much.
I think we need to commit to being team players.
Welcome Dylan on board as best you can.
She's struggled enough.
It's time to move past the drama and get over it.
This is, uh...wow. This is one of yours?
Yeah, it is.
You're really honing your craft, huh?
Learning from the best.
This is natural instinct,
and I'm not just saying that 'cause I'm your dad.
This is something I can't teach.
This is what's gonna set you apart.
I appreciate that.
That's big, coming from the maestro himself.
You gonna be okay?
Yeah, I'll be fine.
You know I'm not the maestro, really. That's my dad.
You know why?
- Why? - He knows how to let things go.
You're right.
You're right. Now, uh...I'm hoping I get to work with him,
now that he's gonna be around more often.
Yeah, no, it's good, and I'm glad you're here.
- I'm so happy. - Listen, Dad.
you mind if I, uh, run something by you?
- If it's not about Will. - No, definitely not.
It's, uh...
it's about the future of the couture line.
And I've been thinking about
what I can bring to the table and...
I wanna do a men's line.
- Whoa. - Yeah.
I'm thinking super-fun cashmere,
sports coats, jackets,
even activewear, you know, something low-key
but sophisticated.
- What do you think? - What do I think?
I think we haven't had a men's line in a long time.
I think it's a great idea.
Oh, hey, Mom.
Hi, sweetheart.
What's going on?
Katie and I got into it again.
Brooke is so angry with me.
We're in a terrible place,
and now you're suggesting Will come work here?
One's got nothing to do with the other.
Yes, Will should be here with us.
This is his heritage.
He's an heir to the Spencer dynasty.
Well, I know that he's probably gonna end up here
one way or the other, and I would love that.
Okay, look, he is wasting away with the--with the Dressmaker.
I mean, what does he do there, get him coffee and pins?
- I don't-- - I mean, I hate it.
- He should be here. - Yo.
Ah, speak of the handsome devil!
In the flesh. Tons of paparazzi outside.
- Yeah. - Just trying to catch a glimpse
of America's latest purveyor of high fashion.
We kinda had a mini-launch today--just a teaser.
Yeah. Yeah, I heard. Including the bit about
Eric's designs being used against his wishes.
Is this true?
Yes, I would like it now. Thank you.
What on earth? No.
Steffy?
Oh, Dylan! Hi! Come on in.
- Nice to see you. - You too.
So it's your, uh, first day.
Heard you had lunch and you're through with HR.
- You excited? - Yes, very.
A little bit anxious.
You'll be fine. Jamie will show you the ropes.
I'm ready. This job is such a godsend, Steffy.
Thank you so much for looking out for me
and believing in me.
I'm so grateful for this opportunity.
Now I have to be around Dylan,
as if seeing Will every day wasn't already hard enough.
Oh, I know, Electra, honey.
I know how difficult this is for you.
I really thought I could get Steffy to understand.
Well, I appreciate you going to bat for me,
but obviously, she's made up her mind.
If only she could see what Dylan was really like
- behind the scenes. - Yeah. I tried to
explain it to her, but she doesn't want any details.
It's not right.
You shouldn't be dealing with any of this.
Will is just-- he's a spoiled Spencer boy.
He's a womanizer, just like his father.
I don't know if I could handle
watching the two of them flirting with each other.
I miss Will and I still really care about him.
Oh, Electra, honey, you have to quit that, okay?
Look, this breakup, it's a blessing in disguise.
You deserve
so much better than Will Spencer.
Is there anything I can do to help?
No, but thank you, honey.
Well, I'll let you two talk then.
I got a couple things I gotta take care of downstairs.
It's okay, Mom.
- Love you guys. - Love you.
What a spectacle, huh?
Yeah. Gosh.
How was Eric when you dropped him off?
He was sad. He was in shock.
You know, duped like the rest of us.
Yeah. I can't believe what we walked in on--
Eric's designs being paraded on the runway.
And then Bill is gossiping to the press.
I mean, it was ridiculous.
I hate what this is doing to my dad.
And I hate what it's doing to you and your sister.
All because of Bill.
Greedy bastard.
Well, I can see that Forrester had a lot to say.
Yeah, both he and his son are pissed off, to say the least.
Well, that's nothing new.
I'm a winner. He's a whiner.
This is not that funny, Dad. Do you know what you're doing?
We don't want this to affect you, honey.
Oh, yeah? Yeah, well, too late, Mom.
That's great! He fired you?
He kicked ya out? Now you can come here and join us.
No. No, I didn't quit, and he didn't fire me either.
That's too bad. Your mom and I were just talking about
how much we would love you here.
Why are you so casual?
Your moves are affecting my life.
And what about you? What do you have to say?
Is Eric not the man who employed you for years?
And now what, you're just gonna let Dad stab him in the back?
You better watch how you are talking to your mother.
Andyou should be educated
before you start running your mouth, son.
Let me tell you how it worked.
Eric came to us. We hired him.
Paid him a pretty penny for those designs.
They are property of Logan.
It is called commercial enterprise...
something you would be learning about here.
Not there, here. Your familybusiness.
How am I supposed to come in here
and deal with Dylan on a daily basis?
It just makes me so mad.
And not just because Steffy hired her
but because of what your so-called "best friend"
and Will have done to you!
He didn't even have the decency to break up with me to my face.
Will is not an honest boy.
What he did with Dylan was wildly inappropriate.
It's not proper.
You have such a big, bright future ahead of you
with endless possibilities.
One of which who just happens to be handsome
with the name R.J.?
Just try and cheer up, okay?
I have to get to my meeting.
Yoo-hoo.
You shouldn't be here.
- Steffy hired me. - It's wrong, and you know it.
I trusted you as my bestfriend.
I was nothingbut kind to you.
I even let you stay at Will's when you had nowhere else to go,
and how do you repay me?
By making moves on my boyfriend!
- Electra, I didn't-- - I know what happened, Dylan.
You kissed him.
Don't even try to deny it.
You got between me and Will.
You broke my trust,
and now you're here rubbing it in my face?
No! No, you need to go.
You need to go and tell Steffy that you quit.
That you made a mistake, that you can't work here.
I don't care what you tell her. Just leave.
This is myworld, Dylan.
Not yours.
This is all my fault.
Honey, no. You're not responsible
for what Bill and Katie are doing.
Of course I'm responsible.
If I hadn't pushed my dad outta here,
he never would have ended up at Spencer's.
Eric agreed to help Katie
out of the kindness of his own heart.
It's Bill and Katie that are lying, cheating, manipulating.
That's all Spencer ever does.
Well, it's not just Spencer. It's Katie too.
I mean, she is to blame. And you know what?
She acts like she has such high moral standards!
I'm so sorry we ended up here.
- Yeah. - I thought we could stop it.
We tried. We tried to talk to Katie, but she wouldn't listen.
I mean, it's really appalling.
I told her that this is it.
I told her that it's war between us.
I didn't come here for a lecture on economics, Dad.
I know how money works. I was raised by you. Chill out.
Don't tell me to chill out!
I'm your father, not one of your bros.
And I am telling you the truth
about how everything went down.
All right, let's just...
let's just take it down a notch, all right?
This has been a day and everyone is fired up,
so let's not let things get too heated.
I am just trying to school our son
on the reality of doing business.
And rule number one
is that nothing is free.
Eric came to us.
We hired him. We paid him for those designs.
They are ours. So despite what
those super-geniuses Ridge and Brooke are telling you,
you can't steal something that you own.
But you do know how Eric feels, right,
that coming here was a mistake, and you're still gonna
roll out those designs?
Rule number two, as I just told you.
When you pay for something, it is your property.
So you're damn right we're going into production.
All you're doing, Dad, is cashing in on this line,
but what next, hmm?
I would love to see Dollar Bill's take on couture.
- Well, drink it in! - Eric's not coming back.
- Oh, you never know. - Mom, would you please
say something?
Your father's not wrong. Eric created these designs for Logan.
Now, do I wish that it hadn't gotten personal?
Yes! Do I wish that my sister had embraced this company
instead of fighting me tooth and nail
for the right to use my own name?
- Yes, of course I do! - We're running a business!
You're worried about Eric? Don't be.
We gave him what he asked for.
He has respect and validation.
For God's sake, man.
You are literally being brainwashed over there.
Well, get out while the getting is good
before your brain completely turns to mush!
No. No, I'm not, because I like it there.
I like working there. But you know what?
To tell you the truth, I don't really care
that you guys are using Eric's designs--I don't.
I'm not defending those Forresters.
But what I am angry about is youmessing with my life.
Did you ever stop to think to yourself
how this is gonna affect my son?
Hmm? Come on, Dad. You almost lost Liam.
How did that feel? You really wanna push me away?
All right, let me tell you something--
All right, enough. Enough!
We're done arguing!
I am not going to listen to this anymore.
The Logan family is already at war,
and I'm not gonna let it happen to the Spencers.
