How could you, Katie?
My daughter.
My daughter!
On your stage working for Logan!
Hope had an enormous success today, Brooke.
She's incredibly talented.
She is supposed to be at Forrester tomorrow with me,
with us-- we're relaunching Hope for the Future!
But no, because my sweet sister used my daughter
to get back at me!
Absolutely not. My daughter's not staying here.
This is not happening.
-[phone chimes] -LIAM: Man, you're blowing up.
It's like...[stammering]
it's like nobody can even believe what just happened.
Well, part of me can't believe it either.
Look at--look at this. It's like...
pretty much you and your brother
are the fashion industry's new dream team.
[laughs] And I'm so thrilled
for Deke and for Katie
I'm so happy that people are loving this collection.
But I also...
feel like they just can't believe I left Forrester.
Maybe they could if they...
knew it was the only way for you to achieve all this.
This does feel like a new chapter for me.
I just...
don't know how I'm going to explain this to my mother.
And no word from her yet?
Nope.
So she's probably feeling very hurt and betrayed,
and now...
I'm going to have to face her.
Sooner rather than later.
DONNA: We're home.
It's just us.
Will you please talk to me now?
Eric.
Obviously, I know you're upset.
You wouldn't say a word in the car.
Come on, Eric. Look at me.
Can't you tell how sorry I am?
Yes.
Yeah, I see that.
What were you thinking, Donna?
Keeping Katie's plan a secret?
Keeping it a secret from Forrester and from me?
How could you do that?

I hated hiding this from you.
-You didn't have to. -I-I-I did!
No, you didn't. Not from me.
I didn't know they were moving up the show.
I-I didn't even think it was gonna affect your line.
Katie and Hope swore me to secrecy.
They told me to tell nobody.
I'm your husband.
Your loyalty belongs to me.
My mom was texting me all throughout the show,
and now...nothing.
Um, well, maybe that's a good thing.
Maybe she's just processing.
Mm. She was expecting me to be at Forrester
watching the big Logan reveal with her. I mean, I think
pretty much everyone was wondering where I was.
Yeah, you were here. At Logan, where you belong.
And where you're appreciated.
And that's all I ever really wanted.
To feel respected and valued.
And now you are. And you know what else?
Mm?
You get to be happy about it.
Do you think my mom will ever be happy for me?
Do you think she'll be able to understand or...
I don't know, I just-- I wish I knew
how she was taking the news.
I don't care what you promised Hope
to lure her to the dark side here with you and Bill.
-[laughing] -She's not staying.
-This is not happening. -It's already happened.
Hope's collection is a blockbuster.
Sales are pouring in.
There's nothing you can do about this, Brooke.
The hell I can't. You're not gonna get away with this, Katie.
You act like I've committed some kind of crime.
You have committed a crime against my family,
a family that you claim to love.
You promised that you were gonna make a legitimate company
out of Logan, that there would be no more lies,
-no more manipulations. -No one lied or manipulated.
What? How can you say that?
You stole my daughter!

Let's not get into this right now.
-I'm gonna go upstairs. -Uh, y-you won't even
let me apologize?
Apologize? An apology's not gonna change anything
-that happened today. -I told you I didn't know
that they were moving up--
You knew that Hope was gonna be working with Katie.
You knew that Hope was not coming back to Forrester.
You should have told me.
Oh, my God, I wanted to.
I wanted to so, so many times.
Yeah, but you didn't. You kept the secret.
You kept me completely in the dark!
Who are you loyal to, Donna?
Your husband, Forrester...
or Katie and... Logan?
You've just done an amazing thing, Hope.
You and your brother, you took...
you took something extraordinary and you made it into a vision,
and you shared that vision with the world.
And you did it completely on your own terms.
That was certainly never going to happen at Forrester.
No, exactly. No, it wasn't. And so you came to Logan,
and that is nothing to be ashamed of.
I did keep this a secret from my mother.
Okay, all ri--okay.
Let me try this.
What would you say to our daughter...
if she was in your shoes,
if she had to make the choice that you just had to make
between working with a group of people
who value her and respect her and wanna collaborate with her
or a group of people
that don't give her the time of day and dismiss her?
What would you have Beth choose?
You can't keep running on this hamster wheel of guilt.
Of course Brooke was always gonna be upset
at first.
That's at first.
Eventually, she's gonna come around,
and she's gonna see that you made the right choice
like you always do.
Gosh, I hope you're right.
But I am terrified that I have
destroyed my relationship with my mother...
and my aunt's relationship with her sister.
This is so typical.
It's my showing, my success, but somehow, it's all about you.
It's a lie, Katie,
another despicable stunt on your part.
Only this time, you used my daughter in it.
I didn't use Hope.
I didn't lie to or manipulate anyone.
I stuck to our deal, remember? We shook on it.
You get the Forresters. I get the Spencers.
Hope is a Logan.
Married to a Spencer.
And she is a valued, essential part of this company.
She is a part of the Forrester family,
Forrester Creations.
Look, I don't care about your deal.
The point is, you stole from Forrester once again!
And for what? Fame, money, attention, press?
Did you even think about the Forresters for a second?
We were all watching you on the live stream.
We were actually cheering you on.
And we were so excited that Deke is your lead designer.
Yeah, Deke's our lead designer
and Hope is Logan's creative director.
I gave her what she's wanted,
what she deserves-- control, independence.
Things that she has been begging for at Forrester.
Well, she doesn't have to beg for those things around here.
She is never going to be undervalued or discounted--
not here, not at Logan.
Yeah? Well, she has a fresh start at Forrester.
We're relaunching Hope for the Future tomorrow.
Not anymore.
Okay. So what are you gonna do?
You gonna hold her hostage the same way you did Eric
and his designs?
Oh, by the way, he was watching you pull another con...
and you upstaging his career and his comeback.
You know what? You wanna think of me as the villain,
go ahead, make me the villain.
God, Katie, everybody sees you as the villain.
You know, I was worried about the timing of all this,
but little did I know what you had up your sleeves.
You must really hate me so much,
parading my daughter on your stage.
Brooke...
the show was a triumph.
The designs were beautiful.
Why can't you acknowledge her accomplishment?
Hope made a mistake.
But never again.
She is no longer gonna be under your thumb, Katie.
That's it. No more.
[intense music swells]
I pleaded with Katie
not to go through with it, but she...
she wouldn't budge.
So you were sworn to secrecy, were you?
Yes! I didn't know what to do.
You should have warned Forrester.
We were blindsided by this!
Okay, I know. I see that now, Eric. I see that.
Come on. I'm so sorry.
Please just... tell me you forgive me.
You were being totally shut out at Forrester.
I was. And now I get to be a part of this incredible team,
and I get to work alongside you
and my brother and my Aunt Katie.
And it's even been enjoyable working with Bill,
believe it or not.
-Whoa! -I know! And...
I have been treated with nothing but respect
and given support.
But I also have to think about the team I had at Forrester,
how this is going to affect Zende and the rest of the staff
and how they must have felt watching that broadcast.
Hey.
What's going on...here?
Why do you need to ask yourself those questions?
Because it's real now.
I did it. It's done. I made that choice, and...
I have to live with the consequences.
And it's probably going to hurt a lot of people...
but it's going to hurt my mother most of all.
Oh, my God, Katie, oh, God,
when did you become so cruel and so selfish?
My God! Me? You can't even be happy for your own daughter
for everything she accomplished today,
or her brother Deke.
All you can think about is how this affects you,
how it hurts you.
No. No, I'm thinking about the other people that you harmed...
like Zende, our lead designer for Hope for the Future.
He was so excited about getting back to work on the line.
Now he's wondering what's happening?
Oh, and then there's Electra.
She had to see the Hope for the Future diamond
in our competitor's hands.
Well, that had nothing to do with me.
Bill and Wyatt, that was their doing.
I didn't even know about it till today.
And did you think about our sister? Our sister Donna!
She lied for you!
And now I don't think our relationship
-will ever be the same. -Well, that's up to you, Brooke.
You don't have to punish Donna.
You can just leave her out of this.
Oh, God. I don't trust either one of you.
The bond between us is broken.
You know what? I-I've had enough of this.
You traipse in here time and time again,
accuse me of being some monster,
of pursuing this personal vendetta.
I hired Hope and her brother Deke because they're talented,
and I gave them a place to display that talent
and go after their dreams and their goals.
And you know what? Not only is that good for them,
it's good business.
-Good business? -Yes.
That's what I'm doing here. I'm running a company.
I have to make decisions that are in the best interest
of my team--that includes Hope.
Business, Brooke. Something you should know about.
Wow.
You sound just like Bill.
[scoffs]
But that doesn't surprise me.
You are a Spencer, after all.
God, I can't even look at you, Katie.

Please tell me that you forgive me.
Tell me that we're gonna be okay. I mean...
I know I let you down
with the company and the family, and, yes, I knew.
I knew what Katie was doing,
and I knew what Hope was ultimately doing.
But they... they swore me to secrecy.
Okay? They put me in this terrible position--they did.
Eric.
Come on. I-I love you.
Yes, I-I...
[huffs]
I messed up.
Okay? But I-I wanna make it better.
Tell me there's something I can do
to make this better, Eric, okay?
You can't...let your work come between us like this.
Come on.
Please.
This is going to affect so many people,
and I am responsible.
Think about Donna. She's known for weeks.
Is my mother going to turn on her?
-Is Eric going to feel betrayed? -Hope, Hope you got--
My love, you have to stop.
I mean, once again, you're thinking of everybody
but yourself.
You had a huge win today,
and you're actually letting yourself feel guilty about it,
and you know why? Because you're forgetting one thing.
You deserve this.
You earned this, Hope Spencer.
Who are you?
My sister wouldn't do this...
this lying and this stealing.
I am not a thief.
You deceived everybody that I love today,
and nobody more than Hope.
I supported Hope. I stood by her.
I gave her the opportunity to succeed,
which was a hell of a lot more
than what she was getting at Forrester.
We asked her to wait, to be patient.
Her line is starting up again tomorrow.
Oh, no, no, no. Her line started today on that runway.
I listened to her.
I didn't string her along.
I gave her what she needed--
I followed through.
This makes me really sick.
I see the contempt in your eyes
and I hear it in your voice.
You're looking at me the same way that Stephanie looked at me
when she would call me "a slut from the Valley."
She would look down her nose at me
for all my sins.
But who sinned today, Katie?
All the seeds of jealousy and resentment
that you've held onto all these years...
is finally coming to bloom.
I love you.
[scoffs]
I respected you.
I needed you. I confided in you.
I remember when you were a little girl
up in your room, looking outside that window,
-watching the world go by. -[laughs]
And I was just working so hard,
so hard to keep the family together after Dad left us.
And this is how you thank me?
I mean, you really must hate me, because...
you stole Eric...
you stole his designs, you stole my name,
you stole my daughter!
You stole Hope, okay? You stole my daughter!
My daughter!
God...God!
[electricity sizzling]
She is my child,
and I'm going to get her out of here.
I'm gonna rescue her from this place
and there's nothing...
nothing you can do to stop me!
