0:01 [music]

0:10 Ridge, I know this is making you feel badly

0:13 and I'm not I'm not trying to do that.

0:20 Doc, I just really can't talk about this.

0:23 You have to.

0:25 You have to.

0:29 Okay, I'm sorry.

0:30 I'm not trying to push you.

0:31 I just I don't like seeing you in this state.

0:37 I don't.

0:39 You know we were both much happier when we were together.

0:45 I'm just saying that all of these problems could just

0:51 go away if you were with me instead of Brooke.

0:59 Make no mistake, the contribution of the Logans is the main reason

1:02 why Forrester is one of the leaders in the fashion world today.

1:08 She put her foot in her mouth this time.

1:10 No, she's just defending our family and telling the truth.

1:14 You and your children don't dominate this company anymore.

1:17 Grandpa, quick, you have to Thomas.

1:21 Come to tattle on my mother, have you?

1:22 Hi, Tom.

1:23 Did you see this?

1:24 I certainly did.

1:25 They want to take over.

1:26 Look around, squirt.

1:28 We already have.

1:33 That went well.

1:34 You certainly looked good.

1:38 Thank you for giving me a chance to respond to Stephanie's attacks.

1:43 Although I'm not quite sure why you did that.

1:46 It's only going to hurt your attempt to devalue our company.

1:50 Only if what you said has the effect you expect.

1:54 You don't think it will?

1:56 A good businessman's prepared for anything.

1:59 Are you prepared to lose?

2:01 Because there's no way you're going to get your hands on Forrester Creations.

2:05 Let's just wait and see.

2:07 You never know how things will play out.

2:32 Jack.

2:35 [laughter]

2:35 Whoa.

2:35 Do you want to WHAT OH, WOW.

2:37 LIKE YOU NEVER MISSED A WEEK.

2:39 I know.

2:39 Okay, maybe like two weeks.

2:41 Hey, buddy.

2:42 I know it's up there.

2:43 Ready?

2:43 Here we go.

2:45 Did your mom seriously never tell you?

2:46 Tell me what?

2:48 Yay.

2:48 Really?

2:49 Well, I All right, come here.

2:50 I missed him a lot and there were a couple of times I couldn't stand it.

2:54 So your mom was an angel and would bring him to see me.

2:59 I told her not to tell you.

3:00 I didn't want you to be upset and I never wanted to make it a big deal.

3:04 Oh, so.

3:07 Well, it is a big deal cuz there's

3:09 one thing that you could never forget or leave.

3:15 That's him.

3:18 Brooke is always going to put her son in front of you

3:23 and Rick knows that and he loves holding that over you.

3:26 This is always going to be a problem.

3:29 It is never going to stop.

3:32 Yeah, I'm not saying that Brooke doesn't love

3:34 you or she doesn't want to make you happy.

3:37 It's just that she can't.

3:41 You two have grown into two different kind of people.

3:45 And when you and I were together we stayed happy because we grew together.

3:50 We grew with our children and with our family.

3:55 Those were great times.

3:59 When was the last time you were truly happy about everything?

4:09 You know why I can ask you these questions?

4:12 Because I'm not afraid of the answers.

4:17 But I think you are.

4:21 That's why you haven't said anything

4:23 to Brooke about the marriage not being valid

4:26 because you know when you do it's going to turn your life upside down.

4:41 I'm sorry.

4:46 Forrester.

4:47 Are you still with Taylor?

4:49 Yeah.

4:50 Then I think you should come back here to the office right away.

4:53 Brooke's just done a webcast and I think you should see it.

5:19 [music]

5:37 A thousand hits since Brooke's interview.

5:41 What do you know?

5:44 Look at these comments.

5:47 Good for you, Brooke.

5:50 [music] Tell Stephanie what for.

5:51 How dare you claim Forrester for the Logans?

5:56 [laughter]

5:58 Oh, baby.

6:01 Forrester's built this business.

6:03 Your family just married into it.

6:04 Whoa, you're going to make this about blood, Thomas?

6:07 You're a Forrester in name alone, pal.

6:09 I am Eric's son.

6:11 Oh, he just must be so proud after all the stuff you've pulled.

6:14 If it weren't for me, you would be in jail right now for attempted murder.

6:17 Oh, stop it, both of you, especially you, Rick.

6:19 Knock it off.

6:21 You tell this felon to get the hell off his soapbox, please.

6:24 Felon?

6:25 No one is dead because of him.

6:33 No one will ever forget what you did to my sisters.

6:36 Just like no one will ever forgive

6:37 your family for what they did to this company.

6:41 Logans don't run this business.

6:42 Your family is a joke.

6:46 Hey, hey.

6:48 Don't you even think about hitting him.

6:53 Finally.

6:56 [laughter] Jack doesn't nap for long.

6:57 Oh.

6:58 Um Wait, wait, wait.

7:00 No, wait, but not so fast, Taylor.

7:01 I thought we could talk.

7:07 All right.

7:09 All right.

7:10 Yeah, yeah.

7:10 Let's Let's talk.

7:12 Okay.

7:13 You used to be good at that.

7:15 Yeah, well, I used to be good at a lot of things.

7:17 Oh, I would say that that you still are.

7:23 Oh, I think this is Jack's.

7:26 Um technically, it's not.

7:30 Oh.

7:32 Oh.

7:34 But it is now.

7:36 Good.

7:39 Have we talked enough?

7:40 Right.

7:43 Did Rick threaten you, Thomas?

7:44 My family is the one being threatened here.

7:46 Your mom is taking credit for everything my family ever did.

7:50 This is about Brooke.

7:51 She just did a Eye on Fashion webcast.

7:54 Made it sound like the Logans are running the business.

7:56 She's calling it like it is.

7:57 Like the Forresters don't matter, Dad.

7:59 Stephanie attacked my mother in those stupid Logan Chronicles.

8:03 What's going on?

8:04 Oh, come in, Brooke.

8:05 We're just about to watch your handywork.

8:08 Eek.

8:09 You did some kind of interview?

8:12 I was defending my family.

8:15 What did you say?

8:16 I wanted Stephanie's audience to know that there's more to the story.

8:20 Brooke, I thought we agreed to leave this alone.

8:22 That'd be just like you, wouldn't it?

8:24 Ridge, I showed your mother a lot more respect than she showed me.

8:28 Oh, I'm sorry.

8:29 Did I hurt your feelings, gosh.

8:31 But you certainly had a hell of a lot to say about the Logans.

8:34 I think you should watch this.

8:36 My mother stuck her neck out for this company.

8:39 Bill Spencer is using those Logan Chronicles

8:40 to devalue our business and you are helping him,

8:44 Stephanie, and you, Ridge, are not doing a damn thing about it.

8:46 What kind of leadership is that?

8:48 My mom had no choice.

8:49 She had to speak up.

8:52 Well, why don't we just let Ridge judge for [music] himself?

8:55 Go ahead, honey.

8:56 Look.

9:10 This is a Logan company and run by the Logan

9:12 women and my son and that is how it will remain.

9:16 It will not fail.

9:18 Under our leadership,

9:19 Forrester Creations will rise to greater heights than ever before.

9:26 Dad, is this company ours or not?

9:28 Of course it is.

9:30 I didn't say it wasn't.

9:32 It sounded that way to me.

9:35 Who's in charge here, Dad?

9:36 Did you know she was doing this interview?

9:38 Look, it was a spur of the moment decision.

9:40 I went over there to confront Bill Spencer about Stephanie's articles

9:43 and he gave me the opportunity to respond to her attacks.

9:47 Really, that's all it was, Thomas.

9:48 I wasn't trying to shut you out or anything like that.

9:51 It's just that I was very angry

9:52 with Stephanie about commenting on my son or Donna,

9:55 you know, saying the things she did about my family.

9:58 No, you were thinking about yourself.

10:01 You didn't for 1 minute consider how this would affect Thomas,

10:05 my children, Stephanie's children, Ridge's children for that matter.

10:09 Well, no surprise there.

10:10 All right, that's enough.

10:12 Look, Brooke and I need to discuss this alone now.

10:15 Come on, let's go.

10:16 Let your father handle this.

10:22 Doc.

10:24 This is a pattern.

10:25 Taylor, this has nothing to do with you.

10:27 Please.

10:29 You just announced to the entire world

10:32 that my children have no place in this company.

10:35 Like none of their contributions mean anything.

10:38 I was responding to Stephanie's lies about my family.

10:42 Oh, okay.

10:43 Well, then where does your family with Ridge fit into this?

10:48 Really, how how does that factor [music] into all of this?

10:51 Is this really how you reward this man

10:54 for all of his patience and all of his understanding?

10:57 Everybody knows that you will always put your family ahead of everything else.

11:06 You know what, the way you treat Ridge is absolutely It's insulting.

11:09 Do you really think that [music] this is the only option he's got in his life?

11:14 Ridge has a lot of other options.

11:18 He also has a family with me.

11:21 And I never treated him like this.

11:25 Ridge deserves much better than this.

11:30 And he knows where to come find it.

11:44 Basketball.

11:45 So, basketball, that was your thing with Katie, right?

11:49 Right.

11:50 You know, it's okay.

11:51 We don't need to pretend like it didn't happen.

11:55 Well, if it makes you feel better, I can give up hoops.

11:59 Really?

11:59 makes you feel better?

12:00 You would do that for me?

12:02 For you, no sacrifice is too great.

12:05 Wow.

12:06 Yeah.

12:07 You are going to so eat those words.

12:11 Starting right now.

12:13 [laughter] Outraged?

12:21 Oh, how wonderful.

12:23 How many hits?

12:25 No, no, Pam, it's okay.

12:26 I'm I'm going to the website.

12:27 I'm going to go to the website right now and watch.

12:29 Thanks, sweetheart.

12:30 I'll talk to you later.

12:31 Stephanie, Stephanie, listen.

12:33 You've got to do something.

12:34 I don't care what you do.

12:34 You need to talk to Bill Spencer.

12:36 You need to get on the website and you need

12:37 to respond to all of that stuff that that Brooke just said.

12:40 It's okay.

12:41 She's put her foot in her mouth royally.

12:44 She's teetering and Eric is teetering right on the edge next door.

12:49 [music]

12:49 Honey, I think that we're one step closer to getting control of the company.

12:52 And I think that you and Ridge are one step closer to being together.

12:59 [music]

13:00 Your mother's accusations had to be addressed for my family and for the company.

13:05 Brooke, you don't make decisions for the company on the spur of the moment.

13:09 Like I said, I saw an opportunity.

13:12 No, you did exactly what Bill and my mother wanted you to do.

13:15 You turned her bitter rant into a tug-of-war.

13:19 You gave that website more publicity than they could possibly buy.

13:23 Rick thought that somebody should do something to defend the Logans.

13:25 Yeah, Rick, Rick, Rick.

13:26 It has to be Rick.

13:29 If he thought a statement should be made, why didn't he do it himself?

13:32 I'll tell you why.

13:33 Because he's using you to cause problems between us again.

13:38 don't make this about my son.

13:40 If you disagree with what I did, then just tell me.

13:42 Brooke, you did what you've been doing for months.

13:46 God, I keep thinking we're back on the same page,

13:49 but I can't help this feeling there are three people in our relationship.

13:53 If there is a third person in this relationship, [music] it's not Rick.

13:57 It's Taylor.

14:05 Okay.

14:07 Let the sacrifice begin.

14:09 Really?

14:10 Uh-huh.

14:10 All right.

14:11 Well, first and foremost, uh those little cigars of yours got to go.

14:16 Really?

14:18 You'll live longer and spare Jack a lifetime of asthma.

14:24 I love my cigars.

14:25 But you said anything.

14:28 Well, I was hoping for something a little more interesting and maybe naughty.

14:33 Oh, really?

14:34 Hmm.

14:34 In the trash.

14:44 Thank you.

14:46 I have a request of my own.

14:49 Okay.

14:50 You know that little lab coat you got, the white one?

14:54 Can we put that on and play a little doctor?

14:56 How about that um that Madame X wig, that whole getup.

15:01 Now, that'll work for me.

15:02 Sorry, pal, they took the night off.

15:04 Think they're holding out on you.

15:07 What are you talking about holding out?

15:09 I don't know, maybe it's one of your sacrifices.

15:13 You know, this isn't sacrifice.

15:14 This No, no, no, this is See, this is more torture now.

15:16 This is more like a game.

15:17 And you know what?

15:19 Two can play [laughter] that game.

15:20 Two can play torture.

15:21 Please don't touch me.

15:22 Please don't touch me.

15:23 sacrifices.

15:23 How about that?

15:25 [laughter] That spot.

15:24 Remember that spot?

15:26 Remember that spot?

15:27 Ridge can't even bring himself to to tell Brooke that they're not even married.

15:31 Well, that's a good thing.

15:32 I guess, yeah, in a lot of ways, but it doesn't mean he's going to leave her.

15:36 Oh, honey, God help men.

15:37 They just have a terrible time making decisions.

15:39 Yeah, he was already overwhelmed and then you threw that offer at him.

15:44 Is he considering it?

15:45 Stephanie, this goes way beyond just getting the company back.

15:49 You know, if if Ridge is going to leave Brooke,

15:52 I would rather him do it because he's tired of what he's dealing with with her.

15:55 He's not happy and he would rather be with me.

15:58 Taylor, he belongs with you and I don't care how it happens.

16:02 Honey, you know what the problem is?

16:04 It's very difficult for him to admit he's made a terrible mistake.

16:08 But each day that he hides the truth from her about

16:11 their marriage and each day that she chooses Rick over him, the gap grows wider.

16:19 So, what was Taylor doing here anyway?

16:21 Did she follow Stephanie over here so they

16:23 could put their little spin on my webcams?

16:25 Taylor is not the issue here.

16:27 And neither is Rick.

16:28 It's Stephanie and her vendetta.

16:31 I took care of that.

16:33 You think it's over?

16:35 Come on, Logan.

16:36 The situation is hurting everyone.

16:39 You're putting that spin on it just made it worse.

16:43 Look at Rick and Thomas, the way they got into it with each other.

16:46 I know.

16:47 I know and I don't feel good about that.

16:49 But Stephanie was saying despicable things about

16:51 my family and I had to do something.

16:54 I never meant to disrespect your children.

16:57 I wouldn't do that.

17:00 I know how much you love them.

17:03 And I also understand that you and Taylor have

17:05 a strong bond because of the tragedy that you experienced.

17:12 Well, maybe I uh overreacted.

17:17 Well, everybody's stressed out.

17:20 And Stephanie making her attacks on the family just has everybody scrambling.

17:26 But we shouldn't let it affect our marriage.

17:29 And the commitment that we have for each other.

17:35 What?

17:37 Did I say something?

17:39 No, no, I uh I agree with you.

17:45 Okay, but something seems to be bothering you.

17:50 What is it?

17:51 We're supposed to be able to be open and honest with each other.

17:56 So, tell me.

17:58 Come on, that's what our marriage is about.

18:00 Yeah.

18:02 Our marriage.

18:04 Yeah.

18:06 Our marriage.

18:07 You know, you, me, [music] us, together, sharing things.

18:12 Come on, Ridge.

18:13 What?

18:14 What is it?

18:16 You can talk to me.

18:18 What's going on?

18:38 [music]
