0:17 [sighs]

0:18 I'm feeling Stephanie's presence.

0:20 Well, you're wearing her ring.

0:21 Your ring now.

0:24 As I recall, she was also wearing a wedding band.

0:27 She was and you'll have one, too.

0:29 When?

0:31 You You want to set a wedding date?

0:34 You do have one in mind, don't you?

0:35 Yeah, I do.

0:38 What about the day we get rid of Quinn Fuller?

0:42 [music]

0:42 I'll be looking forward to your arrival, Andre.

0:44 Give my best to your lovely wife, okay?

0:46 All right.

0:47 Au revoir.

0:50 Pam, schedule a pick up for Andre Moreau at LAX.

0:53 I'm going to email you over his itinerary.

0:55 And let's move my 3:00 meeting to 1:30.

0:58 And remind Rick again I want to review the next quarter projections by tomorrow.

1:02 Thanks very much.

1:03 All right.

1:04 Now, you were saying?

1:06 Uh I don't know about Mom, but I I was just watching.

1:09 Oh, well, it's quite the transition.

1:12 You were obviously born for this job.

1:15 Thank you, Quinn.

1:17 How's Granddad?

1:18 Recovering from the holidays?

1:19 Oh, he is walking on air.

1:21 You made the holidays so memorable for him.

1:23 Well, it was a lovely day.

1:25 The house was decorated beautifully.

1:26 Really?

1:27 You think so?

1:28 Oh.

1:29 Well, that's really good to hear.

1:31 I mean, Christmas is so important to your grandfather

1:33 and what's important to Eric is important to me.

1:36 I hope you're [music] beginning to see that.

1:39 Christmas was amazing, Mom.

1:40 You did a great job.

1:41 Thank you.

1:43 What do you think, Steffy?

1:45 [music] You dropped in right in front of me.

1:52 Uh he who hesitates.

1:54 The fact is there was enough room on that way for both of us.

1:56 Oh, I think that's debatable.

1:58 You think so?

1:59 Yeah.

2:00 All right, fine.

2:01 I did take your wife.

2:01 Happy?

2:02 Oh, you Oh.

2:04 Uh so, how's everything post-Christmas?

2:09 Everything Everything's kind of a big topic.

2:13 Well, specifically, how's it going with uh Steffy being CEO of Forrester?

2:18 Oh.

2:18 That.

2:19 Well, I want her to be CEO.

2:21 I just don't want her to be CEO with Wyatt

2:23 and Quinn whispering in her ear the whole time.

2:26 There you go.

2:36 [music] Risky business, son.

2:41 How's that?

2:43 Steffy hit the jackpot and you're asking her to tear up her lottery ticket.

2:46 No, Dad.

2:46 I told you it's I I I know.

2:47 I know.

2:48 It's not It's not the job.

2:49 It's people she's working with and you

2:50 are absolutely right to be concerned about Quinn,

2:53 but they're kind of two separate issues.

2:55 No.

2:55 No, but they're not two separate issues.

2:57 Quinn is trying to brainwash Steffy, right?

3:00 Steffy wouldn't have the title of CEO if

3:02 it weren't for Quinn and Quinn's never going

3:04 to let Steffy forget that until she's convinced

3:07 Quinn is some kind of I don't know,

3:09 changed woman or whatever it is.

3:10 Listen, I got to go.

3:11 Can you lock up for me, will you?

3:13 Thanks.

3:16 [music]

3:16 Well, then I guess I just don't have to rush out and call the caterer.

3:20 Come on.

3:21 I don't I'm sorry.

3:23 No, Ridge, really.

3:24 It's all right.

3:24 If you want to wait till Quinn is gone.

3:27 want to wait.

3:27 It's not It's not a I [clears throat]

3:30 I just don't want this big Quinn cloud hanging over us.

3:33 I just want to get rid of her.

3:34 Okay.

3:34 So, how do you plan on doing that?

3:37 I don't know.

3:40 But I will do whatever it takes to get it done.

3:44 Okay.

3:44 So, our CTRs could use some enhancement, but we're still up over 20%.

3:48 Uh CTRs?

3:50 Click-through rate.

3:50 The percentage of people that click on an ad or a name

3:52 in a news piece that led them to our website.

3:54 Yeah.

3:54 Anyway, our CTRs are up,

3:56 so is our conversion rate and it is all about our influencer.

4:00 That is very true.

4:01 Steffy's killing it.

4:01 They love her.

4:02 Yeah.

4:03 But we've got to amp up our daily vlogs, the video stories, you know?

4:07 Come on, Liam.

4:08 Uh you [clears throat] might even do some crowdsourcing.

4:11 Ask her followers and her fans to shoot us some design ideas, maybe.

4:14 Make them feel included.

4:16 You might want to check with your actual designer first.

4:18 I'm not sure Ridge would go for that.

4:20 I'm not saying that we're going to use their designs, Liam.

4:24 I'm just saying like get them to try and feel involved, closer to Steffy.

4:29 Wyatt, that is such a bad idea on so many levels.

4:45 [music] Excuse me, Madam CEO, Madam President.

4:52 This is our resident naysayer, Liam Spencer.

4:54 Have you guys met yet?

4:55 Are you not open to another point of view?

4:57 Of course we are.

5:00 Let's hear it.

5:02 Okay.

5:01 You're turning Steffy into a clickbait.

5:04 I assume that's pejorative.

5:06 Very much so.

5:07 Yeah.

5:07 Listen, Steffy.

5:08 He's trying to use you to titillate your followers,

5:10 which is a bad idea for two reasons.

5:12 One, it's demeaning to the CEO of a multinational corporation and secondly,

5:16 it's not going to work if the end game is sales.

5:19 Sales are already up.

5:20 I know.

5:21 I know that, but that's I hate saying

5:23 this, but that is because of Quinn's short tenure as interim CEO.

5:27 It's the jewelry line.

5:28 It's the fashion show.

5:29 That's what that is.

5:30 branding, Liam.

5:32 And yes, my mother did an amazing job.

5:33 Thank you for acknowledging that, by the way.

5:36 But Forrester's success is linked to our progressive, youthful,

5:41 cutting-edge pipeline of products who no

5:44 one could represent better than Steffy can.

5:46 So, she has to be out there.

5:47 Yeah.

5:48 Okay.

5:49 She's the CEO and you're turning her into a human emoji.

5:53 hey, that's not a bad idea.

5:54 Maybe we do a whole line of Steffy Forrester emojis, huh?

5:57 Steffy, Steffy, listen to me.

5:58 Listen to me for a second.

6:00 Do you want to be the laughingstock of the business community?

6:02 Because if he keeps this up, you will be.

6:04 She is trending big time, Liam, or haven't you noticed?

6:08 I have noticed, Wyatt.

6:09 Have you noticed the chat rooms?

6:10 They're not kind.

6:12 Okay.

6:12 Look, Nicole and I are pushing forward

6:13 on this and we're talking link building, blogging, search engine optimization,

6:20 everything.

6:20 I want her on everyone's lips and you can't tell

6:23 me that that's going to hurt us in any way.

6:25 It is going to hurt you.

6:26 It's going to hurt you in the long run and I can tell you that.

6:29 Steffy Steffy's going to get some buzz at first and it's not going to last,

6:32 guys, because it never does.

6:33 A year from now, it's going to be Steffy Forrester.

6:36 Wait a minute, who is that?

6:36 Oh, yeah, she's the one who made a fool of herself on social media.

6:39 Come on.

6:40 I know why you're really doing this and the end game is not the bottom line.

6:45 It's not sales.

6:46 It's a marriage that I'm sorry I'm sorry is already over.

6:50 The divorce isn't final yet.

6:52 Do Let me ask you something.

6:54 Do you guys really think Steffy doesn't see through this?

6:57 I'm just trying to grow an online community here.

7:00 It's a fact that you don't wish to acknowledge.

7:02 Steffy, [music] Steffy, privacy is key, especially for someone in your position.

7:08 Don't put yourself out there for media consumption.

7:10 You have too much class for that.

7:12 You know why?

7:13 Because you're a Forrester.

7:15 Would Stephanie do this?

7:17 Your namesake, would she do this?

7:18 I think we've heard enough, Liam.

7:20 We're in the middle of a meeting.

7:25 Would you like [music] me to go?

7:32 Let me just finish this meeting.

7:33 We'll talk about this afterwards, okay?

7:47 I don't mean to be negative, but ridding the family of Quinn has been tried

7:51 over and over and it usually ends up backfiring.

7:54 Not this time.

7:56 So, you do have a plan.

7:59 Oh, Ridge, I hate to see you this way.

8:02 See me what way?

8:03 I'm I'm in love.

8:05 I'm engaged to the most beautiful woman in the world.

8:07 I am happy and it's almost It's almost perfect.

8:12 You did have to put on a happy face during Christmas.

8:14 I did and it was hard.

8:17 Seeing her picture every time I looked up and her picture instead of my mom's,

8:21 it made my stomach turn.

8:22 I know.

8:23 You barely ate a thing.

8:24 I couldn't keep it down the way she was just

8:27 walking my dad around like he's a puppy on a leash.

8:30 Her motives are pretty obvious.

8:32 Yes, they are.

8:34 She's got Steffy and Wyatt back together.

8:35 Now, my my daughter is pretty smart.

8:37 How does she not see that?

8:38 That's why we got to get rid of Quinn.

8:40 Just don't know how.

8:41 But Quinn has your father solid in her corner.

8:45 No.

8:45 She has him penned into a corner and there's only

8:47 one thing that can blow this out of the water.

8:49 What?

8:50 If Quinn betrays my dad.

8:53 I don't see that happening.

8:54 I don't, either.

8:57 Sorry.

8:58 Didn't mean to interrupt.

8:59 Wyatt, it's really I am leaving.

9:01 I have an appointment to get to, so I will see you at home.

9:06 All right.

9:07 Bye.

9:11 Hey.

9:12 Hey.

9:12 Look a little beat up.

9:13 Yeah.

9:14 Just in with uh Quinn and Wyatt and Steffy

9:17 and they're working her over with all the social media crap.

9:20 Enough said.

9:21 So, it sounds like you have a dump Quinn campaign.

9:25 Is that right?

9:26 Yeah.

9:26 Just wish I had a plan.

9:28 I wish you did, too.

9:30 Man, that woman is bizarre.

9:32 She just likes having the upper hand on me.

9:34 Oh, good.

9:35 What'd she do now?

9:36 I don't know.

9:37 She just She's smug and flirty with me.

9:41 I'm sorry.

9:42 Flirty?

9:42 When was she flirty?

9:45 When I found her naked taking a shower in the backyard.

10:10 [music] If you want to wait till Quinn is gone.

10:18 I don't want to wait.

10:18 It's not It's not a I I just don't want this big Quinn cloud hanging over us.

10:24 I just want to get rid of it.

10:31 Does make Uh well, that should do it.

10:41 We'll need a few hours later this week to shoot some stills.

10:44 Okay, Cole, we should give these two some time to talk things over.

10:47 Of course.

10:48 Uh we're still on for that lunch meeting.

10:49 Yeah, absolutely.

10:50 I'll see you in a minute.

10:51 Bye.

10:52 Bye.

11:00 She's wrong.

11:00 You know that, right?

11:03 He's just looking out for me.

11:04 No, Liam is just looking out for himself.

11:07 And his viewpoint on on social media is absurd.

11:10 He made some valid points.

11:12 About what?

11:13 His fear of losing you?

11:14 His insecurities?

11:15 Yeah, he made that very clear.

11:16 What What was he even doing here anyway?

11:19 He loves me, Wyatt.

11:20 Yeah, and there's a lot of us who do.

11:23 Some of us let you do your job the way you want

11:26 to do it and live your life the way you want to live it.

11:30 And there's some of us who pressure you into doing what they want.

11:34 But you're the CEO of this company, Steffy.

11:35 You don't You don't need that.

11:43 You're still determined to have the ring removed.

11:46 Marry my brother, huh?

11:50 She was showering in the backyard.

11:54 She bought my dad a shower for Christmas.

11:55 Who does it?

11:56 Who buys a shower for Christmas unless you

11:57 really dirty and you got to wash something off?

12:00 But she was naked.

12:02 Yeah.

12:04 I walked through the yard because I tried to get to the house.

12:07 Ridge.

12:08 Oh, I must have freaked her out.

12:10 On the contrary.

12:12 You don't like what you see?

12:14 Well, come on, Ridge.

12:14 Your lurking got you to see me in the buff.

12:18 Aren't you excited for your dad what he gets to come home to every night?

12:22 Oh.

12:23 So, hence the flirting?

12:24 Yes, flirting or messing with my head, whatever you want to call it.

12:30 It's Quinn.

12:31 No, but it's weird cuz it's in your dad's backyard.

12:34 Yeah.

12:36 Well, I mean, what did you do?

12:38 What did I do?

12:38 I tried not to look at her and and in a way she was getting off on it.

12:46 You know what this means?

12:47 I do.

12:48 That woman has no shame.

13:20 Rubbing it in what you did to my family and to this company.

13:24 Well, as awful as you've been to me, [music] I do enjoy seeing you sweat.

13:31 So, yes, it gives me pleasure.

13:34 Perverse pleasure.

14:03 It's kind of like me.

14:06 Enough visits from the doctor.

14:08 You think that'll get rid of me?

14:09 You might need to be a witch doctor or something.

14:14 No, no, no.

14:14 Let's talk about me here for a second.

14:16 Your favorite subject.

14:18 I'm your favorite predicate.

14:21 Nice.

14:22 Man who knows his grammar.

14:24 A predicate's a It makes things move.

14:28 Just like you.

14:30 Got you to the altar, didn't I?

14:32 Well, your mom had something to do with it.

14:33 Oh, come on.

14:35 Maybe she did, maybe she didn't,

14:36 but it still didn't take away from the moment, Steffy.

14:40 The beach, the sunshine and the the wind in your hair.

14:45 I trust you that your commitment is forever.

14:50 Because my commitment is forever, too.

14:54 I will always be honest with you.

14:57 And I will always always put you before anyone else.

15:04 My commitment to you is forever.

15:12 [music] You promised to share a life with me.

15:28 And I still believe in that promise, Steffy.

15:35 Word of advice?

15:37 Please.

15:39 Tell Liam to back off.

15:41 He's distracting your daughter from her very important job.

15:44 The job I was supposed to have, you mean?

15:46 That one, exactly.

15:49 Well, it's part of the gig.

15:50 I think Steffy's going to be fine.

15:53 Can you just look at me when you talk to me?

15:59 What are you working on?

16:02 Wow.

16:03 That is a beautiful gown.

16:05 You really do know how to flatter a woman's body.

16:09 Wait, is that Is that the piece that I just designed?

16:14 Wow.

16:16 I mean, it it really it really flatters the the dress.

16:19 Yep.

16:20 Sadly, it does.

16:23 You don't have to be so negative.

16:25 You know what?

16:28 You're right.

16:29 I'm going to try to be more positive.

16:30 You are positively the worst person I have ever met.

16:36 But you're a really good designer.

16:40 Okay.

16:41 I guess that's a start.

16:43 Okay.

16:44 Now, can I finish, please?

16:45 You know, you really should show me a little bit of gratitude.

16:48 Gratitude for what?

16:49 For naming your daughter CEO.

16:51 I mean, I didn't name her that.

16:52 Your father did.

16:53 You had nothing to do with it.

16:55 Just a little bit.

16:57 See, this is it.

17:00 Women.

17:02 [clears throat] We used to always put on this planet.

17:03 Get this from my old man.

17:05 And I can almost see why he's bewitched by you because you What?

17:13 You're the most evil person I've ever met.

17:16 But there is something undeniably sexy about you.

17:23 Did you just call me sexy?

17:25 What?

17:26 No, no, no.

17:27 I said I could see why my dad would think that you're sexy.

17:30 I think you're awful.

17:37 How did you get in here?

17:39 I walked in.

17:42 So, what are you doing here?

17:44 Well, I didn't come here to see that poser.

17:45 I can tell you that.

17:46 He's at work.

17:47 I know.

17:50 What do you want, Bill?

17:52 You.

17:53 And I will have you.

17:55 Someday you will be my wife.

17:58 You're not married yet.

18:00 Don't do it, Brooke.

18:05 Ridge will stray.

18:10 [music] He always does.

18:13 I never will.

18:15 I will be here waiting for you.

18:18 And we will have our future together.

18:22 Finally.

18:52 [music]
