0:26 I got to head over there.

0:29 Really, now?

0:29 Yeah.

0:30 Yeah, I won't be late.

0:31 Okay.

0:32 Okay.

0:34 I'll wait up.

0:40 [snorts] [music]

1:23 Come on, work with me here.

1:25 You actually think that I would hook up

1:27 with you to stop Stephanie from spewing her poison?

1:31 You're out of your mind.

1:37 May I I [sighs and gasps] Look at you.

1:40 You're beautiful.

1:45 Well, then, um show me off.

1:49 What?

1:49 Why don't Why don't we cancel the dinner with Bill

1:51 and you and I go out on a date?

1:52 No, I'd love to do that.

1:55 No.

1:56 This is too important a night.

1:59 Bill Spencer controls the fashion press.

2:02 We need to do everything we possibly can to get his support.

2:08 Here he is.

2:16 Oh, Bill, come in.

2:18 Appreciate the invitation, Eric.

2:20 You know my wife?

2:22 Yes, I do.

2:24 And I'm looking forward to knowing her better.

2:30 What do you think we should do tonight?

2:36 Well, tonight it's not good for me.

2:41 Oh.

2:41 Cuz I got a date with Bridget.

2:43 And it's going to happen whether you or your son like it or not.

2:50 Did Nick actually say something to you about Bridget?

2:54 Look, Nick needs to remember who he's engaged to.

3:00 [laughter] Oh, darling, in this town engagements are a dime a dozen.

3:03 I seriously doubt that Katie will ever trade

3:06 [music] in that darling diamond for a wedding band.

3:10 I just thought that it would get easier, that we'd get past this.

3:15 Is this about Nick?

3:17 I just can't do this anymore.

3:20 What are you talking about?

3:23 I'm leaving him.

3:59 I thought you left.

4:02 I did, but I'm back.

4:05 Is this for me?

4:19 You're resigning?

4:21 Well, I did what I came here to do and I've proven myself as a designer.

4:27 This isn't about design.

4:32 I I can't do this, Nick.

4:33 I I can't be here.

4:36 My stomach was just in knots coming up the elevator.

4:41 Damn it, why did you kiss me?

4:44 Why would you do that?

4:53 [music] [music] So, what do we drink to?

5:09 New friends.

5:10 New friends?

5:11 Well, we've hardly gotten off to an auspicious beginning, have we?

5:15 The Logan Chronicles.

5:16 It's business, Eric.

5:17 No, it's not, Bill.

5:20 My ex-wife is angry and bitter and she's hell-bent on revenge.

5:24 She's waging all-out war on the internet and in the pages of your magazine.

5:29 And I'm profiting nicely.

5:30 Yeah, well, it's not right.

5:32 I want it to stop.

5:35 You'd like to discuss other options.

5:39 As a matter of fact, that's why I'm here.

5:42 Oh, and to show you this.

5:48 The latest issue of Ion Fashion.

5:50 Special edition.

5:53 The downfall of Forrester Creations?

5:56 Why are you doing this?

5:57 That is the question.

5:59 Why?

6:01 What happened to the company my readers know and love?

6:04 They want to know, Eric.

6:06 And by the end of next week,

6:07 they can run down to their local newsstand and find out.

6:11 Unless, of course, we come to some arrangement.

6:14 So, you want something.

6:14 What do you want?

6:16 Something almost as precious to you as your reputation.

6:19 Eric, please just tell him to leave,

6:20 give this to our lawyers and let them handle it.

6:23 You know, it's quite simple, really.

6:26 It's a trade.

6:28 Something you've got, something I want.

6:39 $100 million?

6:43 You want me to give you $100 million?

6:45 Oh, of course not, Eric.

6:48 That's what I'm going to give you for Forrester Creations.

6:55 So, if Nick is still hung up on Bridget, then what's he doing with Katie?

7:01 [laughter] Soothing his conscience.

7:02 Well, it's not love.

7:05 Not like he had with Bridget.

7:08 And Katie knows it.

7:13 Brooke, come on, you can't be surprised.

7:16 If Nick wanted to get married, we'd be married by now.

7:18 Did you two get in a fight?

7:20 No.

7:20 Did you talk to him about this?

7:22 Katie.

7:23 He would never walk away from me,

7:25 no matter how much he wants to be with someone else.

7:29 If this is about Bridget It's about me.

7:32 It's about what I'm willing to live with.

7:38 He's not over her, Brooke.

7:40 And if they find their way back to each other,

7:42 I'm not going to stand in their way.

7:47 Tell me.

7:47 Tell me why.

7:48 Why would you kiss me?

7:55 I don't know.

7:57 You just couldn't help yourself?

7:58 Gave in to an impulse?

8:00 I'm not sorry I did it.

8:03 I don't want you to resign.

8:07 How can I stay here, Nick?

8:09 I came here to start over and launch a new career.

8:12 I even have a new man in my life.

8:15 And then you come up and kiss me and all of those memories come flooding back.

8:21 Tell me about those memories.

8:22 What are they of?

8:23 Of me and you and Jack?

8:25 Stop!

8:26 It's all I can think about.

8:28 I can't get it out of my head.

8:30 What about Katie?

8:32 I don't know.

8:33 I know.

8:34 I know exactly where this is going.

8:36 Nowhere.

8:37 Because it can't.

8:39 I mean, look, we have been married twice.

8:42 We've done this and it doesn't work.

8:45 I'm I'm just done.

8:47 I'm going to move on with Owen.

8:50 Owen?

8:51 My god, you don't even know the guy.

8:53 I mean, you've What?

8:55 You've been on a a couple dates with him?

8:56 Yeah, and they both ended badly because of you, because of this, this Look,

9:00 he has been patient with me and understanding and he didn't want to push me.

9:06 But maybe that's what I need.

9:07 I need to be pushed.

9:08 Maybe that Maybe this is it.

9:11 This is it, Nick.

9:14 Tonight, I am putting you behind me once and for all.

9:24 I don't understand.

9:26 You want my company.

9:27 That's why you're trying to drive down the value.

9:30 I'd take my first offer if I were you.

9:32 If I have to ask again

9:33 Wait, is this why you came to LA to get your hands on Forrester Creations?

9:38 Business 101.

9:40 Every person, every company has a weakness.

9:43 Find it, exploit it, you win.

9:47 Now, it's not always this easy, of course.

9:49 Looking at your beautiful wife, I can understand how you got distracted.

9:54 You took your eye off the ball, she took your company.

9:58 Now she's sitting on the throne next to Ridge

10:01 and her sister is cozied up next to you.

10:05 It's a wonder any work gets done in that office at all.

10:07 With these Logan minxes probably.

10:09 All right, that's enough.

10:10 You get out of my house.

10:15 I'm sorry.

10:17 What I did was inappropriate.

10:19 I crossed the line.

10:21 I don't want an apology.

10:22 I told you I'm finished.

10:25 If you were finished, you would have dropped that letter on my desk

10:28 and you would have walked out of here, but you didn't.

10:31 I'm leaving now.

10:33 And leaving to go to where?

10:35 To go to Owen?

10:37 Owen is a good man, Nick.

10:38 [music] He cares about me.

10:40 He knows what I've been through and he knows that I deserve better.

10:42 And I think you deserve better, too.

10:44 And I am ready to give you that.

10:46 I will give you my best.

10:51 If you can give me one more chance.

11:01 Hey.

11:02 There you are.

11:04 You ready to go?

11:06 Are dinner reservations right?

11:07 Yeah.

11:07 Actually, change of plans.

11:09 I ordered in.

11:10 We'll pick it up and uh I don't have to leave early like you did last time.

11:14 Great.

11:18 [snorts] Yeah.

11:38 This isn't a decision that you rush into.

11:40 Something I should have done a long time ago.

11:43 You say it's what Nick wants,

11:44 but how do you know when you haven't even talked to him about it?

11:48 that I accepted what I've done.

11:50 I I I'm I'm living a borrowed life.

11:51 I'm in someone else's house.

11:53 I have someone else's husband, someone else's child.

11:57 Bridget invited me here and I pushed her out.

12:03 Bridget is happy now.

12:04 She has a new career.

12:06 She's moved on.

12:07 Everything is fine.

12:09 No.

12:09 She hasn't, not really.

12:11 None of us have.

12:13 And we're all just pretending.

12:14 We're going through the motions.

12:15 Bridget's fine.

12:16 I'm happy.

12:17 Nick's where he wants to be.

12:18 I mean, this is just all so messed up and there's only one way to fix it.

12:22 Stop, please.

12:23 I don't know what happened,

12:24 but I'm not going to let you beat yourself up like this.

12:26 myself up.

12:27 I'm trying to be honest with myself.

12:30 I'm living Bridget's life and if she wants [music] it back,

12:33 she can have it, all of it.

12:35 Nick, Jack, they're not mine.

12:42 They never really were.

12:55 Who the hell do you think you are?

12:57 Next CEO of Forrester Creations.

12:59 You know, 10 years ago you were nobody.

13:01 Your father dug you up and he gave you

13:03 a chance at that company and now you show up here

13:05 And in that 10 years, I made Spencer Publications what it is today.

13:10 And all the while putting up with that stubborn son

13:12 of a Working side by side with one of the meanest,

13:16 most perverted men I've ever known.

13:19 You're a real chip off the old block.

13:21 Mhm, well, you know, my father never gave anybody second chances.

13:26 I'm giving you one right now.

13:29 You're wasting your breath, Bill.

13:31 A little late in the game to be growing a backbone, Eric.

13:35 I went toe-to-toe with your father.

13:38 Mhm.

13:39 You know, my father knew he was dying.

13:42 Did he want me by his side?

13:45 No.

13:47 He told me to get back to work.

13:49 And I did.

13:52 You sure you want to call my bluff?

14:00 Better get that.

14:01 Might be one of your former clients.

14:06 Forrester.

14:08 Yes, William.

14:10 Yes, of course I have time for you.

14:13 Don't be here when I get back.

14:17 Yeah.

14:19 I think so.

14:21 You heard Eric, leave.

14:25 Offer still stands.

14:28 One night with me and I'll leave your husband and his company alone.

14:34 Of course, once you've been with me, you'll probably leave him, too.

14:38 Get out.

14:39 You could be the heroine in this story.

14:44 Think about it.

15:01 Dear Nick, this is the hardest letter I've ever had to write.

16:03 Oh, Nicky, I thought you went home.

16:06 I did for a bit.

16:08 Oh, did you have an argument with Katie?

16:10 No.

16:12 With Bridget?

16:16 You know she's with Owen.

16:19 Yes, I do.

16:22 That upsets you.

16:32 I shouldn't let her leave, Mother.

16:36 Leave with Owen?

16:38 No, the marriage.

16:39 I should have I shouldn't let her walk away from the marriage.

16:45 She's moving on.

16:46 I I truly try to respect that.

16:49 I really do and I do try to hang on to what I have with Katie,

16:52 but there is a shadow hanging over this relationship, Mother.

16:55 I swear there is and it's called Bridget and I know it and Katie knows it.

17:04 And I have to be honest with myself.

17:06 Can I give Bridget what she wants?

17:08 Can I give her what she needs?

17:10 Yes, yes, yes, yes.

17:12 That's what I've been telling you.

17:18 I asked you to give me a second chance.

17:22 And she left with Owen.

17:24 She heard you.

17:25 I I know she heard you.

17:27 So much confusion in my life, Mother.

17:31 I mean, really.

17:33 I didn't even know who my father was until 5 years ago.

17:36 How the hell am I going to know who I am?

17:39 And that's played out in every relationship that I've had.

17:44 But I'm feeling better.

17:46 You know, I don't want to sound all therapeutic here,

17:49 but I really sort of kind of know myself.

17:55 You know, I know what I want.

17:56 I know what I'm feeling.

17:58 I know who I am.

18:01 And I know what I need.

18:03 And in my truth, I really believe that I need Bridget.

18:15 But she's scared.

18:17 I know that she loves me,

18:18 but she's scared to death and how the hell can you blame her?

18:21 I understand.

18:25 But I really believe I have a son and I

18:33 know that I can be the man that she deserves.

18:37 I know that I can be the man that she wants.

18:41 I just don't know how to go about doing it.

18:44 So I look to you as my mother.

18:48 Help me here.

18:51 Help me to get her back.

18:54 Help me to get her back where she belongs.
