0:17 I I I I

0:18 Oh, oh no, no.

0:19 Did you really do pinky twist?

0:22 Oh.

0:23 Ah, that's my sister.

0:27 Hey.

0:28 She is one tough chick.

0:32 [music]

0:38 Hope and R.J.

0:38 go to school yet?

0:42 Did Ridge spend the night at Taylor's last night?

0:46 I don't know.

0:47 Yeah, you do.

0:49 It's like the last time they spent the night together.

0:52 Cuddling up at the Big Bear cabin.

0:55 With Steffy and Thomas.

0:57 And you know why they were there.

1:00 Yeah, I remember.

1:01 It was after their failed attempt at breaking Steffy and me up.

1:05 Except this time they succeeded,

1:06 so I bet they were up all night last night celebrating.

1:15 [laughter] I know, I'm sorry you had to leave early.

1:17 Well, how did it work out last night?

1:20 Mhm.

1:21 It was really fun.

1:22 We had so much fun with Steffy.

1:23 It was It was good for her.

1:24 She She feels much better when she has her family around her.

1:27 It was very important for her.

1:30 Well, Taylor, that's what I sensed, and that's why I left.

1:34 Yeah,

1:36 [sighs] and it just felt so right.

1:37 It was It was great.

1:39 It was amazing having everybody together.

1:41 And then this morning, Ridge and I were just in the kitchen.

1:44 We were listening and eavesdropping on Steffy and Thomas having breakfast.

1:49 Oh, so he stayed overnight?

1:51 Uh, yes, in the guest room.

1:55 Well, you can remedy that, can't you?

1:57 Yes, I would like for that to be arranged,

1:59 but Ridge is still married to Brooke, and I'm going to respect that.

2:04 Well, fortunately, I don't have to do either.

2:08 Oh, Taylor, I've got to go.

2:09 People are here.

2:10 Gosh, what took you guys so long?

2:11 We're right on time.

2:13 Oh, I like to start early.

2:14 Ridge's show got us off to such great momentum.

2:16 I don't want to lose it.

2:17 Speaking of momentum,

2:18 somebody told me that we've got another write-up today in I on Fashion,

2:23 and I thought "Oh, wonderful." Right?

2:27 Oh, no.

2:29 What's the matter?

2:30 Is it bad?

2:34 It's terrible.

2:43 [music] Bill Spencer's dead.

3:17 You obviously hadn't heard.

3:20 No.

3:22 And the funeral's today.

3:24 Was he sick?

3:25 I don't know.

3:26 I hadn't talked to him for a while.

3:27 You know, and he sent that lovely email about the show.

3:33 You were close with him, weren't you?

3:35 Yeah.

3:36 You know, he worked right here in this office.

3:39 Right.

3:39 He owned Spectra for a while.

3:42 No.

3:43 It's terrible news.

3:45 Fashion world's going to be devastated.

3:49 We never seem to learn, do we?

3:51 I meant to call him, and I kept putting it off,

3:53 and I Now I'll never have a chance to talk to him again.

4:00 I better call Caroline's sister.

4:01 I better call Karen.

4:05 You're trying to make me feel insecure.

4:07 trying to do anything.

4:08 I'm just telling you that your husband

4:10 spent the night with his ex-wife last night.

4:11 Oh my god, I am not going to listen to this.

4:14 want to have this conversation cuz you're afraid of what you might say.

4:18 We're going to get through this, Rick.

4:20 God, Ridge left last night.

4:22 He walked out the door.

4:23 You didn't have to tell him to leave.

4:25 He wanted to stay there.

4:27 bolted because he couldn't deal with me.

4:30 I told you not to get involved with Steffy.

4:32 I knew it would end this way.

4:33 It's not over yet.

4:35 Mom, if I could just talk to Steffy alone without Ridge around, then maybe

4:38 Absolutely not.

4:39 She still loves me, Mom.

4:40 She broke off your engagement.

4:43 Because of Ridge.

4:44 I don't care what the reason is.

4:46 This is a fact.

4:46 You need to listen to her and accept her decision.

4:48 It's not her decision.

4:49 That's the point.

4:50 It's Ridge and Taylor's decision.

4:52 They set me up, and Steffy left me.

4:54 It's only a matter of time before Ridge leaves you.

4:57 And that's exactly what you want, isn't it?

5:01 Tell me, Rick, who's really being manipulated here?

5:08 You don't have to worry about a thing.

5:10 Your dad and I will take care of it, okay?

5:12 People sent wedding gifts, though.

5:13 They can be returned.

5:15 But what about the band for the reception?

5:17 Sweetie, we'll cancel them out.

5:19 Just don't expect to get your deposit back.

5:23 Hey.

5:24 That's the price for freedom.

5:26 That's how you get a deal.

5:28 What?

5:29 I'm not going to pretend like I'm all broken up about this.

5:34 Look.

5:35 I'm sorry you're sad.

5:37 You thought Rick was a good guy.

5:39 He wasn't.

5:41 But I'm not sorry he's out of your life.

5:44 I'm relieved.

5:45 And you should be, too.

5:46 He turned our home into a nut house.

5:51 Made me crazier than anybody.

5:54 What I did was wrong.

5:55 I went way too far.

5:58 But I was acting out of love.

6:00 And that's why I'm telling you this now,

6:02 because I love you, sis, and I want you to be happy.

6:06 And now that you have Rick and your room over here, I think you will be.

6:18 I think we all will be.

6:21 As long as we back each other up.

6:25 Don't just assume that everything's okay.

6:27 We need to talk to each other, ask for help.

6:30 And no keeping secrets.

6:33 You can always come to your mother and me.

6:35 We may not be married anymore, but we're still a family.

6:39 Even if your father's not around.

6:42 I will be.

6:48 I have two families.

6:51 Both equally important to me.

6:53 And I haven't been around here.

6:56 I regret that.

6:57 I left a big void in this household.

7:01 Thomas felt like he had to take up the slack for that.

7:06 I'm very sorry.

7:09 I give you my [music] word.

7:11 I will never put you in that position again.

7:19 That's That's the private number, correct?

7:21 Okay.

7:22 Thank you.

7:33 Karen?

7:35 Karen, it's Stephanie Forrester.

7:37 Stephanie?

7:38 Hello.

7:40 I just wanted to give you my condolences.

7:42 I'm so terribly sorry about your dad.

7:45 Thank you.

7:45 I I really appreciate that.

7:46 It means a lot.

7:48 I know people say this all the time, but is there anything I can do for you?

7:53 Actually, Stephanie, there is.

7:56 Before my father died, he instructed me to contact you.

8:06 I'm I'm very happy to help you in any way I can, Karen.

8:09 Thank you.

8:09 My dad said I could count on you.

8:11 Well, you can, and I was going to call him,

8:15 uh, you know, uh, earlier this week after that email.

8:20 I just I never got around to it.

8:23 I can't tell you how happy it made him to see you doing so well.

8:27 Well, thank you.

8:30 Um, he said something interesting in in the email,

8:32 and and so I'm kind of wondering, was he ill for a long time?

8:36 Because he mentioned that he hoped that he

8:38 would be around to see my next triumph.

8:40 Did he think he wasn't going to be?

8:42 Dad's, uh, health took a turn for the worse.

8:45 He'd been declining for weeks.

8:48 And there was nothing they could do for him?

8:50 Well, they made him comfortable,

8:51 which gave him time to get his affairs in order,

8:54 and I think he was really grateful for that.

8:58 So, you're going to be running the company from now on?

9:01 Oh my gosh, I don't know who will be running the company.

9:04 You know, my father was holed up with his lawyers a lot there near the end,

9:07 but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he chose someone else.

9:11 But you've been at Spencer Communications for years.

9:14 I mean, you're his daughter, for gosh sakes.

9:16 Exactly.

9:16 Maybe if I were his son.

9:18 You know, Dad was very old-fashioned that way.

9:20 Only boys in the boardroom.

9:23 He never treated me that way, honey.

9:26 Well, I have a feeling you're the exception to a lot of rules.

9:30 You know, he admired you very much.

9:32 Well, the feeling was mutual.

9:37 You know, that email that I got,

9:39 as I told you earlier this week, it really got me to thinking, uh,

9:43 about your father and you and Caroline and if

9:48 she hadn't been taken when she was so young,

9:51 how Ridge's life might have been so different.

9:56 No, Brooke.

9:59 You don't respect my marriage to Ridge.

10:01 You never have.

10:02 Mom, if your own husband doesn't respect your marriage, why the hell should I?

10:07 I mean, one minute he tells you that everything's going to be okay.

10:09 The next he's torching my engagement.

10:11 He thought he was protecting Steffy.

10:13 Ridge told you that he was ready to accept my marriage to Steffy.

10:18 So, either he was lying or something's changed.

10:21 And that something could be his feelings for you.

10:29 It's him.

10:32 Hello?

10:33 Hey, I thought I should check in.

10:36 I'm glad you did.

10:38 How are the kids doing?

10:39 They get off to school okay?

10:41 Oh, yeah.

10:41 Yeah, they're fine.

10:42 I told them that you went to work early.

10:45 Yeah, well, I'll be coming home pretty soon.

10:49 I'm still at Taylor's.

10:52 You slept there last night.

10:56 Actually, I didn't get much sleep at all.

11:01 Yeah, [sighs] me neither.

11:05 Logan, this isn't what I want at all.

11:09 I didn't want you to leave.

11:11 But you understand why I couldn't stay there.

11:14 It's not you, it's Rick.

11:16 The guy's done nothing but cause problems between us.

11:20 You've really got to get him out of the house before he does more damage.

11:25 Huh.

11:26 [snorts] So, you think our marriage has been damaged?

11:29 It's been strained.

11:31 It's going to continue to be strained as long as he's in our lives.

11:36 I realize you don't see it that way, but for the life of me, I don't know why.

11:41 If you just [music] would listen to those recordings.

11:44 No, I don't need to.

11:47 Rick told me what you made him say.

11:50 That's just the thing.

11:50 I didn't make him say any of that.

11:52 Look, I don't want to argue about this anymore.

11:56 The truth about your son is finally out in the open.

11:59 My daughter has canceled the engagement.

12:04 And I'll be home to the house there as soon as he's gone.

12:07 But until then, you're staying [music] at Taylor's.

12:11 I'd rather sleep in our bed tonight.

12:14 Whether I do or don't, that's totally up to you now.

12:21 Look, I'll see you at work.

12:24 By the way, I want you to know that I'm going to ask Dad to fire Rick.

12:30 No.

12:31 I want him as far away from my family and me as possible.

12:36 I know you don't understand that.

12:37 Hopefully, someday you will.

12:40 Ridge, please.

12:42 Logan, I've got to go now.

12:43 Bye-bye.

12:56 Eric.

12:57 I heard about Bill Spencer.

12:59 I thought you might need me.

13:06 So, Ridge has gone to Dad.

13:08 Wants me gone.

13:12 Out of the house.

13:14 Out of the company.

13:15 And if you don't go along with it, then Ridge is not coming home.

13:21 So, let me get this straight.

13:21 First, he sets me up.

13:24 And now he's blackmailing you.

13:27 We cannot let him get away with this, Mom.

13:31 For once in your life, you have got to stand up to this man.

13:40 You're taking a stand for our daughter.

13:42 Against Brooke's son.

13:44 Let me be the way she sees it.

13:46 I expect Dad'll see it that way, too.

13:49 Until he hears the things that Rick said about Steffy.

13:54 I just want Brooke to realize how destructive he is.

13:59 She will.

13:59 She has to.

14:03 And then, you can go back over there, and Rick will have to leave.

14:11 Taylor, I'll be back here the moment you need me to.

14:16 Oh, I think we'll be fine.

14:20 Look, if our kids need anything, if you need anything, I'll be back here.

14:31 All you have to do is call, anytime.

14:33 Thank you.

14:35 Thomas got the help he needed.

14:38 Steffy finally sees Rick for the bastard that he is.

14:42 Our kids are doing better, much better than they were last week, because of you.

14:48 You're a remarkable woman, Doc.

14:58 You thought I might need you.

14:59 I know how close you and Bill were.

15:02 You're offering your support.

15:04 Yes.

15:05 Look, I discussed this with Donna,

15:07 and as much as she would like to be there today to pay her respects,

15:10 she understands the situation.

15:11 There'd be a lot of our old friends there.

15:14 Given our history with Bill, and our standing in the end of fashion community,

15:19 I think maybe you and I should go together.

15:22 Oh, so you could be the sensitive ex-husband allowing

15:26 his grieving ex-wife to put her head on his shoulder?

15:30 You don't have to go through this all on your own.

15:33 Eric, I've been going through a lot for a long time on my own,

15:37 even when we were married.

15:41 [sighs and gasps]

15:42 But this is so like you, isn't it?

15:44 Eric the good.

15:46 [clears throat] Always there in the crisis.

15:47 That's what allows you to get away with all of this, isn't it?

15:51 Get away with what?

15:53 Being a rutting selfish old bastard.

15:57 You thought I might need you.

15:59 Well, I I did for about 50 years.

16:02 I waited for about 50 years for you to grow up,

16:06 to be treated with comfort and respect, and not just because Mrs.

16:11 Honeybear gave you permission.

16:13 Thank you very much.

16:14 I don't need you.

16:16 Well, there's nothing I can do to help.

16:17 You're still too angry with me.

16:19 No, and I I No, but that's because I have no expectations of you.

16:23 The children do, and they are a bit humiliated by your antics, but I am not.

16:27 Not anymore.

16:29 I am no longer the suffering spouse.

16:31 That is a role that I never really suited me.

16:35 Well, this one fit you like a glove, didn't it?

16:39 You know, you and I used to be able to coexist no matter what,

16:41 no matter what was going on in our lives.

16:43 You mean, no matter who you were sleeping with.

16:45 Oh, this is not about Donna.

16:49 You know this is why I fired you.

16:51 You know, you did me a favor.

16:53 I would never have walked away from Forrester.

16:57 [sighs] [gasps]

16:57 Somehow, I found a way to throw off that mantle of being a matriarch.

17:01 And Nick and Jacqueline have given me a chance to be who I really am.

17:06 Stephanie Douglas.

17:07 Yes, yes, I remember.

17:12 You think that this is um just

17:16 the same as every other time that we've separated.

17:19 But it isn't.

17:20 You think that I'm just waiting for you to come to your senses.

17:24 But I've come to mine.

17:27 I don't want you.

17:28 You can't mean that.

17:30 Don't presume to tell me what I

17:32 I did not come here presuming to tell you anything.

17:34 Yes, you did.

17:37 Because you're operating with the same old thinking that nothing's changed,

17:40 but everything has changed for me.

17:44 You want me to go with you to Bill's funeral.

17:49 You have the nerve to say it's for my sake,

17:52 when you really mean it's for your sake.

17:54 I'm sorry, Eric.

17:55 I can't go with you and be friendly in public, because I am not your friend.

18:00 I'm your competitor.

18:02 And I am a woman who's declared her independence.

18:07 [sighs and gasps] Independence from you.

18:10 From the company that we built together.

18:12 From your new views, your new wife, your antics, I am free.

18:17 I am free of you.

18:19 I don't want you.

18:20 I don't need you.

18:23 And I don't want or expect to see you again.

18:28 Gee, I don't know what to say.

18:30 Goodbye would suffice.

18:33 I'll always treasure my memories.

18:34 You are, after all, the father of my children.

18:37 But we are no longer husband and wife.

18:41 We're not lovers.

18:42 We're not business partners.

18:45 And sadly, we're not friends.

18:50 So, goodbye would suffice.
