I just--I really thought this time would be different.
So Brooke made her case to be co-CEO.
Uh, but then Ridge didn't want to oust his daughter,
didn't wanna do that to Steffy,
and my mom just caved.
She didn't even try to fight it, which...
knowing how much she deserves this job,
knowing what it means to me
and all the conversations we had about it, like...
like none of that even mattered.
It just goes to show that my mom is going to pick Ridge
above anything else, above herself, above me.
Okay. But you don't have to make that mistake.
You don't have to settle for anything.
You could have so much more.
You could have a bright and exciting future...
here at...Logan.
RIDGE: Brooke, you're gonna be working with Hope
for years to come.
Forrester is your home.
It's her home too.
And that's exactly what I told her.
But she's very disappointed, Ridge, especially with me.
[door opens]
Just the two people I wanted to see.
Steffy.
You can't be happy with me right now.
Actually, I, um...
I wanted to say thanks.
Your text message meant a lot.
Thank you for supporting me as co-CEO.
[computer chimes]
Hi.
Oh, hey, Dylan.
Sorry. I didn't mean to sneak up on you.
Daphne wanted me to give you these updated notes.
Okay. Thank you.
I'll let you get back to it.
You know what? Um...
I've actually been pretty swamped,
and I'm due for a distraction.
How are you doing?
I'm good. Happy that we're talking again,
and I'm very relieved that you forgave me,
giving me a chance to be friends again.
Yeah, I'm happy about it too.
I meant what I said, Dylan,
about wanting us to be friends again.
Yeah. Yeah, I know. Um...
That's why... I have something to tell you.
Something important that you need to know.
[lightly edgy music plays]
♪ ♪
You wanna tell me something important?
Yeah, I have to.
I mean, I told you that I wouldn't let you down
or betray you again.
Is that what you're about to do?
No. No, no, no, no, no. I--
Friends tell each other the truth, even...
when it's hard and it could ruin everything.
-Is this about Will? -No.
Um...
someone from my past recently showed up...
my cousin, and it's someone that you know.
I know your cousin?
I swear, I didn't realize until you mentioned him
the other day.
He used to be your best friend.
Who's your cousin?
Remy Price.
Remy's my cousin.
I hope you know my text was sincere.
I do think you're an accomplished CEO.
Even though you tried to convince my father
to make you his co-CEO?
Well, I didn't make that request solely for myself.
She was thinking of Hope as well.
I don't want anybody's accomplishments
to be overlooked--
not yours, not mine, not my daughter's.
I urge you, Steffy,
to bring Hope for the Future back to life.
You don't have to keep running into this same brick wall,
and by that I mean butting heads with Steffy.
I know you're frustrated. I know you're disappointed.
But if you just leave Forrester and come work for Logan,
this could be the start of something great.
Hope, honey, what happened?
What's wrong?
Liam told us what Brooke was planning.
Did Ridge make her co-CEO?
He let her down again.
How much you wanna bet Steffy talked him out of it?
Uh...my mom folded immediately,
and she even said that she felt bad
about putting Ridge in that position.
[sighs] I'm so sorry.
You know, just because Brooke has to keep answering to Steffy
doesn't mean you do.
You could get out from under her thumb
if you just join forces with your family.
[edgy music plays]
So Remy's your cousin.
I mean, we didn't see each other that much living so far apart.
You know, I grew up in the Midwest and his family's in...
well, you know, outside Dallas.
But we're close in age,
so we did have a relationship.
-I told you what he did to me. -I didn't know.
I had no idea that he could be so cruel and twisted!
You expect me to believe that this is some huge coincidence,
that you happen to be related to my "friend"
who tormented me with these horrible photos?
How could I know? You only confided in me the other day.
It was a mistake?
No. No, Electra, I was stunned.
I was horrified for you.
What Remy put you through was terrible.
When you said his name, I felt sick.
You didn't say anything.
I was in shock.
I mean, we just started talking again.
I'm trying to do right by you and make amends
and then I learn this heinous thing about my cousin,
-then suddenly he shows up-- -I'm sorry--you saw Remy?
Where?
Here. At Forrester.
[intense music pounds]
I will take you through every spreadsheet if you want,
but I think pausing Hope for the Future right now
-financially makes sense. -RIDGE: [sighs]
Couture's just eating up a lot of money,
and it's gonna be a while before we get a return on it.
Okay, look, I'm not trying to create conflict.
That is the last thing I want.
No, I know. What you want is for our kids to get along
and for Hope to feel secure. I get it.
And I put you in a terrible position, and I'm sorry.
But Hope is in a terrible position too.
But why--'cause she's anxious about her line?
-Come on. -She's worried about her future
at Forrester.
She's wondering if it's gonna be worth the wait.
-Hope. -I--thank you.
I should have known that Ridge wouldn't go for it.
I mean...I don't know.
My mom told me not to worry about it.
And yet that spineless dressmaker
folds like a deck of cards yet again.
And meanwhile, what?
You're just supposed to be happy
and accept that someday, maybe,
maybe Steffy will bring your line back?
LIAM: That's a good point, Hope.
How long should you have to
just wait to do what you love?
For the possibility of being respected?
You don't have to resign yourself to that.
Honey, they're right.
I know what it's like to be underappreciated,
to not have a shot at Forrester.
And--and believe me, I have been torn.
I've been torn about this. Donna has warned me
that if this happens, if you come to Logan,
it could tear our family apart, and I don't want that.
I don't. But I don't want you to be
disrespected and disregarded either.
I agree with Bill and Liam.
I do. It's time.
It is time for you to get out from under
the arrogance of Steffy.
Come to Logan.

Remy was here, in the building?
Not for long. I mean, the first time he showed up,
I told him to leave, and I thought--
The first time. So he came back?
[sighs] The day that you said you wanted to
give our friendship another chance...
I was feeling so good, and then there he was.
What did he want?
He's all alone in LA.
-[scoffs] -No, I mean, I don't
feel sorry for him, not at all.
After learning what he did to you,
I don't care that he's my cousin.
His behavior is disgusting, and I told him that.
That's why I'm telling you now. I cannot associate with somebody
who would hurt my best friend like that.
Look, Remy knows what he did was wrong.
He's getting help. He says he's changed
and he's not that person anymore.
You know what? He lied to me for years, Dylan,
so I don't believe any of that, and I never will.
I get it, I get it, and I agree.
What Remy put you through was horrific.
There is no excuse or way to make up for it.
Electra, I'm on your side.
I hope that you can believe me.
Trust me, Hope is not being overlooked.
Dad, Carter, and I, we wanna focus on couture
but we keep talking about Hope and her line.
We've given it serious consideration.
Yes. Hope for the Future, it was a success,
but it hit a rough patch, so we had to regroup.
We had to now lock in on Granddad and couture.
I don't disagree, Steffy.
I fully support Eric and the couture line.
And you just want your daughter taken seriously.
-Yes. -Okay, then,
we'll take care of that.
I promise you we're not gonna ice Hope out, okay?
We're gonna fire up Hope for the Future
when the time is right. You can count on it.
Hope will always have a place here at Forrester.
I'm flattered, really. It's, um...
Nice to know that my work is appreciated somewhere.
You belong here.
I built my brand at Forrester.
And I really thought I would spend my whole career there.
Are you saying you would consider leaving?
If I were to even consider leaving,
I would want my brother to join me.
He is a talented up-and-coming designer.
Y-yes! Absolutely. I agree.
I've seen his portfolio. It's excellent.
And you can have whatever you need.
That's the deal. You get what you want.
Look at me!
I am so happy I left Forrester, and I'm thriving.
Listen, I realize that this is a huge decision.
It is. It's big.
But I am looking at you from the other side.
I am seeing you at Logan, happy,
wanted, embraced, fulfilled.
I understand the pain of being discarded.
I do.
I see you, and you're my incredibly talented niece.
Even as a child, you were always so smart and clever.
Amazing.
And you shouldn't be treated like this.
You shouldn't.
You can come here... to your family.
You're not leaving your family.
You're coming here!
You're a Logan. You are.
And you deserve to work here where you'll be embraced
and wanted, and most of all...
respected.
I have to go back to Forrester
to see where I stand.
But I will have an answer for you soon.

You know, Remy did more than
just torment me with those photos.
He betrayed my trust,
and when I found out that it was him...
Electra, I mean, if I had known
or ever even saw that side of him...
You didn't?
[sighs] Remy and I got along.
He could be himself with me, but there was always something
a little bit off with him.
That's part of the reason why I didn't reach out to him
when I was living out of my car.
Good instincts.
And it's why I told him to go when he showed up here.
I knew what that would do to you if you saw him,
and I could not let that happen.
Electra, I am your friend. You can trust me.
I hope you don't think of me any differently.
You know, I will never forget the trauma
that Remy put me through.
The anxiety, the whispers,
the dirty looks from my peers.
But you...
You can't help who your cousin is.
So thank you... for coming clean to me.
Thank you for...
looking out for me.
Of course. Come here.
RIDGE: You heard Steffy, right?
You heard me.
Hope will always have a place at Forrester Creations.
-Okay? -Okay.
Hope's kidding herself if she thinks
anything's gonna change at Forrester.
I just don't want her to be shut down again.
Yes, but if she is...
guys, this could be the thing that brings her to Logan.
STEFFY: The couture showing is all about
elegance and intimacy.
Even the invitation list is very exclusive,
even for the press.
So once it's out that the couture's happening,
then we're gonna get a lot of calls, okay?
So we've gotta focus on that. It's gonna be very--
Actually, we can talk about this later.
Oh, here you go.
I didn't expect you'd be in today.
You don't have a list of busy work for me to do?
Hope, come on. Please don't go there.
You're right. Uh, if there is something I could say
to endear myself to you, I'd love to hear it.
Hope, you know you're not on my bad side.
Neither is Brooke.
Although, she did go to my father
and ask about being his co-CEO.
I assume that's why you're here.
I'm here because of my line.
Brooke told me that the CEO thing was, uh, your idea.
I believe she deserves the position.
Over me?
Well, she has an extensive resume,
and she's an icon in this industry.
I get that but, you know, my dad and I,
we are co-CEO, and...
nothing's gonna change that.
Message received, loud and clear.
Okay. Look, I know you're frustrated, Hope.
And I get it.
Your mom chose my father over you. I've been there.
I understand.
But I wanna make one thing clear.
I was with Brooke and my dad earlier,
and we were talking about your line.
That you would like to dust it off
and move forward with the collection?
I told them I was gonna think about it.
You'd think about it?
Carter and I, we went over the numbers.
Hope for the Future hasn't been strong for a while now.
Well, that's because my collection and I
have been neglected.
We haven't been receiving the support we need
in marketing, in resources.
Those resources are going to my grandfather...
repairing the damage that your aunt did
to my grandfather's reputation.
Hope, we need to focus on couture now.
BILL: You're just supposed to be happy and accept
that someday, maybe Steffy will bring your line back?
LIAM: You don't have to settle for this.
You can have so much more.
KATIE: It's time.
Time for you to get out from under the arrogance of Steffy.
It's time. [echoing] Time...time...time...
Steffy.
I'm going to ask you one last time.
When will Hope for the Future be revived?
I need a date.
I need to know what kind of future I have
at Forrester Creations.
