Morning swim with the hottest guy in Malibu.
What a way to spend the day.
Yes, and now that you're finally moved in,
we get to do this every single morning.
You mean I get to see you all the time?
Except for at work.
[sighs] Yeah, I know.
It's gonna be so weird.
When I'm headed to work at Forrester,
you will be on your way to Spencer.
Oh, it's gonna suck.
But then again, I do not regret punching R.J.
As far as I'm concerned, that fool got what he deserved.
[background chatter]
-Nice to see you. Two, please? -You got it, R.J.
Thank you.
California living at its finest.
I cannot believe this is my life now.
I mean, breakfast by the beach, a little dip in the ocean.
My treat, by the way.
I told my dad we're coming in a little late today.
Really? 'Cause I'm bartending after work tonight,
so I really appreciate some time to chill.
Probably needed it more than I realized.
Yeah, me too.
Feel like we have, uh, a lot more in common
now that Will and Electra are "WE" again.
KATIE: Is this really happening,
or am I in the middle of some big, beautiful dream?
It is real, Katie. It's as real as it gets.
You are the CEO of your own company,
and you are poised to take over the industry.
And our son is going to be here to help you do it.
Oh, all these years, I have dreamed of working with
my two favorite guys,
my handsome, handsome husband
and our wonderful, incredible son.
Here. At your company.
In the Spencer family business.
-Yeah. -Finally...
finally, Will is out from under Ridge's thumb at Forrester.
[both chuckling]
RIDGE: All right, good.
Take these downstairs, please.
-You got it, boss. -Okay.
Hey, Jack. Door, please.
Thank you.
Lots of changes around here, huh?
Oh, yeah. Letting Will go,
and Hope's leave of absence.
Well, the good news is
we will always have each other.
And my dad's coming back to the company,
and I couldn't be more happy.
-That will be quite a splash. -Mm-hmm.
And it will drown out any noise
about Katie and Logan.
♪ ♪
I want Will and Electra to be happy.
If that means them being together,
why shouldn't they be a couple?
I can think of several reasons.
I'm sure you can too.
Look, I know that you're not Will's biggest fan,
but he really is a good guy, R.J.
You two got pretty close.
It doesn't bother you that they're living together?
Like I said, I want them to be happ--
Happy, yeah. I got it.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Now, don't get me wrong. I am pissed off.
Not that I was fired but why I was fired.
And of course it's because that crybaby snitched on me
-to his parents. -Listen, I know you don't think
you hurt R.J. as bad as you did, but...
-you hit him really hard, Will. -Good.
I'm glad. He was bad-mouthing me.
He was getting inappropriate with you,
and as far as I'm concerned, I have every single right
to protect you and our relationship.
I will always protect you, my angel.
Always.
RIDGE: Katie still getting under your skin?
Well, I wish that wasn't the case.
She is my sister, and I don't wanna be at odds with her.
Well, her company is a sinking ship.
No designers, no future, so, really,
there's nothing else to fight about.
Uh, apparently, there's... there's plenty.
I didn't want to bring this up last night
because we were having such a nice romantic evening.
But we got into it again.
How bad was it?
This is Will's home.
I mean, this is where he belongs,
where he can grow and he can flourish.
Be appreciated. He was never gonna get that at Forrester.
No. Neither were you.
They gave you scraps, Katie.
They never show you the respect that you deserve.
Well, Brooke certainly never respected me,
and after yesterday, I'm not sure she's even capable of it.
What happened yesterday?
She crossed the line.
Hauled off and slapped me.

So how do I look?
Oh, well, you look very handsome,
very professional.
Well, I gotta look good for Mom.
She's gonna love it.
-How do you feel? -I feel good.
I feel fired up. I'm excited.
But, you know, it's a whole new system over there
-that I gotta learn. -Yeah, well, you're pretty much
the smartest guy I know, so I think you can handle it.
It's gonna be nice working alongside my parents.
Yeah. And Liam too.
It's basically the whole Spencer crew.
Yeah, yeah, and I know they're thrilled to have me over there
at the company, but I'm really gonna miss you.
I'm gonna miss you too. I'm gonna be texting you all day.
-You promise? -It's a threat, actually.
It's a good threat. I want more of these threats.
Oh, but I'm sad.
Forrester's not gonna be the same without you.
No more bumping into you in the hallway.
-Yeah, literally. -[giggles]
And no more sneaking kisses in the elevator
and the gym and the design office and the showroom--
I mean, pretty much every room in that building.
Yeah, I'm definitely gonna miss those rooms.
But the silver lining here is that I get to come home to you
every single night.
[upbeat music plays in background]
You know, it is gorgeous out here.
We really got to do this more often.
Yeah. Although I doubt your dad would be cool
with us showing up by lunchtime every day.
Only on special occasions.
Is this a special occasion?
Every minute with you is special, Dylan.
-[laughs] -Plus, I mean,
we're both single, right?
You're not wearing a necklace. I'm not wearing a necklace.
Unlike Will and Electra?
Yeah, their special "WE" necklace.
It's cute, you know,
her idea, her design.
Yeah, I assumed.
I doubt Spencer could come up with anything
quite as clever or romantic.
You might be surprised.
So if those two are a... a "WE,"
Mm. What does that make us?
-Single. -[chuckles]
Lonely.
-That's really great. Yeah. -Yeah.
All right, we'll be single and lonely together.
-Cheers to that. -Cheers.
That's some sad cheers.
RIDGE: So, listen, I'm not a violent man per se,
but, uh...
but if your sister had said what she said,
I mean, I'd...I'd be upset too,
and I think you had every right to slap her.
I still wish it hadn't come to that.
Nobody knows how to get to me like Katie does.
But you said you reached a compromise.
What--what is that?
After what happened with Eric and that terrible fallout,
we realized that that's something
that we don't want to risk again, so...
we agreed to no arguing and no fighting,
especially around business.
That's good, right? I mean, that's progress.
I got her to agree to no more poaching
of any Forresters.
BILL: What a hypocrite!
Brooke slaps you after firing our son for hitting R.J.?
Who does Brooke think she is?
She thinks she's my big sister
who apparently can do whatever she wants.
Well, the hell she can!
All right, stop. Enough.
I am perfectly capable of handling this on my own.
-Nobody touches my wife! -Take it down a notch.
Listen, I don't know if being slapped
was worse than being called a homely introvert.
-What? -But I think
that it all might work to our advantage.
-In what universe? -In the Logan universe.
Okay, uh, I am not following. You're gonna have to
-help me with this. -Well, I think that
I might have succeeded in outfoxing my sister.
-What did you do? -I just promised to only use
Spencers at Logan. We even shook on it.
Ha ha ha.
-Only Spencers, huh? -Mm-hmm.
Like Hope Spencer.
Exactly.

An LA girl who actually eats.
Ah. Well, I'm not an LA girl. I'm a Midwest girl, remember?
Right. That's why you're so down to earth.
You know, you're pretty down to earth yourself.
Yeah?
It was very sweet of you to ask me to breakfast,
check in on me.
I figured you could use a little cheering up.
Okay, maybe I needed it too.
-Uh-huh. -Yeah. Ha.
You know, maybe you were right.
What you said earlier.
Well...if we had it our way,
you'd be with Electra, I'd be with Will.
Yeah.
So, what, does that make us... losers at love?
Losers?
No, Dylan.
Don't ever think about yourself that way. You're a winner.
Okay? You've overcome a lot.
Thank you. No, I'm actually--
I'm very grateful for how my life has turned around.
-Really? -Yeah.
I mean, I have, you know, my jobs, my friends.
And I'm especially grateful
for the friendship I have with Electra.
-Katie and I even shook hands. -Oh, you shook hands.
Well, then, she's absolutely gonna stick to her deal.
I have to believe that she'll stay true to her word
and never poach another Forrester ever again.
They just did! They took Will.
Well, we predicted that. It was only a matter of time
before he ended up back over at his parents'.
I'm just kidding. Spencer must be over the moon.
-I'm sure Katie is too. -Yeah, I'm sure they're both
very happy that he's back from the dark side.
All is well that ends well.

BROOKE: I really do care about my nephew.
-I just want the best for him. -Kay.
-Hello, Electra. -Hi.
We were just talking about Will
and his new position over at Spencer.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, today's his first day.
He's really excited to be working with his family.
Well, that's good to hear.
I wish things worked out differently here,
but given the circumstances...
No, I understand. Completely.
You guys felt like your hands were tied. I just...
can't help but feel like
I'm responsible for him getting fired.
I have to say that I am impressed!
My brilliant, gorgeous,
and cunning wife!
All I did was agree to not "steal" any more Forresters.
Well, you're not. I mean, that's the truth.
-Yeah. -Hope is not a Forrester.
Never has been a Forrester.
So when Brooke finds out that she is working here with you,
she's going to have to accept that as a fact
because it is.
Married to Liam Spencer,
mother of Beth Spencer.
I mean, how much more Spencer can you get?
I agree, and that's the idea.
I mean, Brooke is still going to go ballistic.
Oh, she'll fully blow a gasket.
Yeah. I'm not looking forward to that.
I wish I could be open with her
about Hope coming to work with us.
I wish she could be actually supportive of me
and what I'm trying to accomplish here.
Hey, what up, bosses?

Welcome, welcome, welcome

Okay. So I wanna know how you're doing
now that Will and Electra are living together.
-Honestly? -Mm-hmm.
I'm worried about her.
I know you're a Spencer fan, but I don't like the guy
and I think it's only a matter of time
before he breaks her heart again.
Maybe he'll surprise you.
Hopefully he does.
What about you?
I know you wanna be happy for your friend.
You want Will to be happy.
I'm focusing on all the positive things in my life right now.
But...
you were working with the guy and living with him.
And now you're barely gonna see him?
Yeah, look, I'll always care about Will.
I mean, he--he took me in and he kept me safe.
He helped change my life.
Do I wish things could have been different?
Yeah, of course I do, in many ways. But...
hey, what are you gonna do?
I guess we're gonna have to
try and move on, help each other out.
Guess so.
Well...
if I start thinking about putting moves on Electra...
I will stop you.
-There you go. -There you go.
And if you see me in a puddle of tears over Will...
Then I will dry your tears.
-Okay, deal. -Deal.
It's not your fault, Electra.
It's not. You don't have to feel guilty about anything.
I mean, how could I not? I'm the reason
that Will and R.J. were fighting in the first place.
Oh, you told Will to hit my son?
-No. -It's an unfortunate,
complicated situation.
Listen, for the record, I didn't wanna fire him.
He's a good kid. I got a soft spot for him.
And I think he's been punished enough
having Spencer as a father.
But hey,
he left me no choice.
BROOKE: And we know that it's difficult for you.
You're his girlfriend.
But maybe it's for the best.
I was just talking with Ridge and telling him
that Katie and I came to an agreement.
The Forresters work for the Forresters,
and Katie can hire all the Spencers that she wants,
and, hey, now she has Will.
So she doesn't have to go behind our backs
and take what doesn't belong to her.
Check out our son. You're looking sharp, boy!
-You know the vibes. -Oh, he always looks good.
Seeing you here, it just melts my heart.
-It's good to be here, Mom. -No, Forrester giving the ax
is the best thing that ever happened to you.
And our family.
Means everything to your mom and me having you here.
I can feel it, Dad. I feel it in the air.
I'm excited, you know, and I'm gonna make--
or I'm gonna help make Logan
the best fashion house it can be.
Well, I'm counting on that. It's, um...
It's an exciting time. Lots of surprises.
More than you realize.
And a lot of hard work.
Bring it on. I'm down.
That's exactly what I wanna hear.
Oh, I'm so thrilled you're here.
Absolutely, and you know what? You're the one doing this.
You're making it on your own, not taking no for an answer
and being the badass that you are.
Oh, I needed to hear that.
Uh, your Aunt Brooke and I, uh,

Yeah, a little in-house preview.
Okay. Is that about this new designer?
Uh...okay.
What I'm about to tell you-- it is top, top secret.
You cannot say a word to anyone.
Okay. About the new designer?
Yeah.
It's Hope.

Wow. I was not seeing that coming.
That's why it's top secret.
