00:00Thomas is back on board and he's ready to contribute to hope for the future but except you
00:08we haven't even discussed this my father and I have and we both agree using Zenday and Thomas
00:13is the best thing moving forward for your line well what about my brother he was offered a
00:17position here it was a trial position hope and hey he may very well have a future in fashion
00:24but not here at Forrester you're COO so you know everything happening around here
00:29I try to stay in the loop
00:31this yours yeah yeah it's nice man thanks I'm hoping one of these will make productions someday
00:41keep at it Deke you never know it's actually kind of why I used to meet with you Carter um
00:47I was just wondering if you had any idea what the future holds for me at the company
00:51I have news oh good news I hope it's good news for some
00:58okay what is it Zenday and Thomas have been collaborating on hope for the future
01:05that's the good news the bad news is that means that hope's brother is out
01:11already I mean he hasn't even been here I know you know what I think this is
01:17I gotta think this is the right thing to do it's the best thing for hope for the future
01:22this is incredible first you spring the surprise wedding on mom and now you're creating a fashion
01:30company for her right here at Spencer Publications yeah it's definitely been a surprising couple of
01:36days but how could you possibly say no this is an amazing deal it is it's just it's not going to be
01:44easy telling Brooke
01:57I'm sure Aunt Brooke will be happy for you mom
02:02well that could go either way with Forrester flapping his gums in Brooke's ear
02:06well I do need to tell my sisters right away how about you don't worry about them
02:10you're putting yourself first for a change creating your own vision and it's gonna be beautiful
02:17thank you for having so much faith in me
02:22and thank you for all your love and support
02:27you've got it mom
02:28yeah you know what you're right you're right
02:30it's gonna be okay you know we Logans we are all about lifting each other up
02:37Brooke's gonna be happy for me
02:39I'm just surprised to hear this
02:43well it all happened pretty quickly
02:45I don't know I like Deke I see a lot of promise in his work
02:51I like him too and there's definitely promise but he just doesn't have the practical experience
02:55and I think Sandy Thomas is just a better fit
03:01I don't mean to put you on the spot
03:06no no no it's fine I just uh maybe maybe it's confidential
03:10I get if you can't talk about it
03:13Deke honestly man
03:14I don't know what the plan is
03:17yeah no it's cool
03:20I realize we're probably still working it out
03:23and I'm on a trial period so there's there's no guarantee
03:26it's just been a really great experience working here
03:30been a dream come true for me
03:32honestly
03:33so you're firing Deke
03:37there's no room for him Hope
03:39look I understand that Deke is your brother
03:42but Thomas and Zende they have it covered
03:45they make an excellent team
03:47it is my line Steffi
03:49yes
03:50and I am co-CEO Forrester
03:53so you're telling me I have no say
03:56no matter what the future holds
04:14I'm so thankful for the opportunity
04:16we feel that from you man we do
04:18and look I wish I had more answers for you
04:21no no look it's cool
04:23I uh
04:24I'm just gonna try to be patient
04:26do that
04:28I'll be honest with you though
04:31there's a lot riding on Hope For The Future
04:34and it's paramount to Forrester's success
04:36they need to select the best design team possible
04:39Zende and Thomas made a pitch
04:43they're capable
04:44they're more than capable
04:45we can't say that about Deke yet
04:47I know
04:48he's still learning the ropes
04:50he would benefit from more experience
04:52absolutely
04:53we don't have the luxury to give them that here
04:55okay
04:57I mean but do you really think it's smart
05:00that Steffi's the one delivering the news
05:02it's Hope's brother after all
05:04I think that'd be a tough thing to hear from anybody
05:07but Hope and Steffi are in a pretty good place right now right
05:11yeah
05:12I think so
05:14but think about it
05:18Hope's brother is being pushed out
05:21so Steffi's brother can come in
05:23we are talking about my line
05:29I don't get to have a say in who my lead design team is
05:35that's why we're having this conversation Hope
05:37Thomas thinks Deke is unnecessary
05:39well
05:40I don't
05:41I think Deke is necessary
05:42and besides your brother lives in Paris
05:45he'll work remotely or he can commute
05:47okay
05:50wow
05:52I'm sure it's not what you were expecting
05:54no
05:55no
05:56it really
05:56I mean
05:58this really has come out of nowhere
06:00don't you think
06:01I mean one minute Deke is positioned to
06:03potentially design for my line one day
06:05and the next
06:06Thomas flies in
06:07and suddenly changes his mind
06:09and decides he wants another chance at it
06:11how many of Deke's designs have we put into production Hope?
06:15none
06:16he's a rookie
06:18Thomas and Zenday
06:19they are veterans
06:20it's that simple
06:21all I am asking for
06:24is for you to please reconsider
06:26Deke loves it here
06:28he's passionate about this company
06:31all he wants is a chance
06:33can't we at least give him one?
06:38is this really just about your brother?
06:41or is it about my brother too?
06:42well you know
06:46now that you mention it
06:47it does put me
06:50in a bit of an uncomfortable position
06:52working with Thomas again
06:55after everything we've been through
06:57and I'm sure Liam
06:59won't be happy to hear about it either
07:01well we can't make business decisions
07:04because you're uncomfortable around my brother
07:06this is a family company
07:08and I thought we moved on from everything
07:09you have your own life
07:11he has his
07:12that's not the point
07:13don't you want what's best
07:16for your line?
07:19Thomas and Zenday
07:20working together is the answer
07:21Deke has fresh ideas
07:23I mean there has to be room for him
07:25there isn't
07:26and we can't keep someone on the payroll
07:28if they're not needed Hope
07:30I think you should be the one
07:33to break the news to Deke
07:34baller moved with mom
07:46baller moved with mom
07:51gotta hand it to you
07:52I'm just glad she's up for it
07:54who in their right mind
07:56would turn down this insane president
07:58it's incredible what you're doing for her
07:59I told you there's nothing
08:01I wouldn't do for you mom
08:02oh good
08:08um
08:08I've been looking for you
08:10there's something I need to talk to you about
08:12oh okay
08:13if this is about the outside PR firm
08:15no no no
08:17it has nothing to do with that
08:18okay
08:20then what is it?
08:23you know how Bill can be a little
08:24over the top
08:27when it comes to romantic
08:28gestures
08:30well this time he really went big
08:33after we got married
08:35he gave me the most
08:36incredible wedding present
08:37let me guess
08:40a tiara
08:42no
08:44no
08:44not a tiara
08:45a fashion house
08:48so
08:59how did it go?
09:01oh it wasn't too pleased
09:02well of course not
09:04Deke's family
09:05yeah
09:05she wants some morale
09:06well Deke is green
09:08he's fresh out of design school
09:10I just need some more experience
09:11that's it
09:12that's what I told Brooke
09:13I'm sure she isn't too thrilled
09:15she's okay
09:16she understands I think
09:17but she also knows
09:18that her daughter's gonna be hurt
09:19I know that too
09:19Hope's very lucky
09:21that her line exists
09:22we've poured so much money
09:23and resources into it dad
09:24I know
09:25this has gotta work
09:27not just for Hope
09:28but for the whole comfort
09:29so I've been dying here
09:31where you think
09:32I meant to show you this earlier
09:33but um
09:34I stayed up all night
09:35working on this
09:36also this one too
09:38I mean just wait till it's finished
09:39I'm hoping to have a mock-up

09:44is so versatile
09:46like whatever you want
09:47nightclub
09:48beach club
09:49I mean
09:49I'm thinking we could get
09:51production costs way down
09:52and get a really good price point
09:53and I mean
09:54what do you think
09:56look I'm sorry
09:57I'm probably bombarding you
09:58with a lot
09:59but just the prospect
10:00of having one of my designs
10:01up on the runway
10:02is just
10:03so exciting
10:05I'm gonna be my first time
10:06and honestly
10:07if there's any tweaks
10:08you want done
10:08I'm open to anything

10:29is working

10:34I just
10:36I just
10:36met with um
10:38Steffi

10:39spoke to Ridge
10:40earlier
10:41oh

10:43does this mean
10:45they made a decision
10:45to
10:46do I have a
10:48permanent position
10:49on the line
10:49there's no one
10:59more deserving
11:00mom's a boss
11:01she's one of the most
11:03underrated figures
11:04in the fashion world
11:05Katie's a force
11:06the total package
11:08marketing genius
11:09PR extraordinaire
11:10well not to mention
11:11the fact that she ran
11:12the company
11:12she was the CEO
11:13I know for a fact
11:15that she knows
11:15how to make magic happen
11:17yeah plus she's cool
11:18you know
11:19she knows what's happening
11:19she knows what's in
11:20yeah
11:21unlike that dinosaur rich
11:22exactly
11:23and I'm so excited
11:24for mom

11:26she could run a fashion house
11:28in her sleep
11:28no more being taken
11:30advantage of
11:31taken for granted
11:32it's Katie's time
11:34to shine
11:35sick of her being
11:37a cog in the wheel
11:38at Forrester
11:38and finally
11:40no more answering
11:41to Ridge
11:42and Brooke
11:42fashion house
11:49yeah I know
11:50it
11:50my own fashion company
11:52I mean it sounds crazy
11:53but I
11:54I'm so excited
11:55about this
11:56yeah it does sound
11:58a little bit crazy
11:59I mean
12:00developing a brand
12:02is a huge undertaking
12:03took years for Forrester
12:05to get off the ground
12:06I understand that
12:07and I'm not naive
12:08I know this is gonna be
12:09a lot of work
12:09I'm going to be a very busy woman
12:12but
12:12I can do this
12:14I'm up for the challenge
12:15and Bill has been
12:16incredibly supportive
12:18oh it's Bill's idea
12:20yeah
12:21apparently he's been
12:22planning this for a while
12:23and he really wants this
12:24for me
12:25and
12:25he believes I can do it
12:28well that's really sweet
12:30but
12:31your own company
12:33I mean
12:33how is that even gonna work
12:35well it will be under
12:37the Spencer umbrella
12:38oh
12:39I mean
12:40okay
12:40I get it
12:41by the look on your face
12:42I can tell that you're shocked
12:43I am too
12:44but this is real
12:46Bill's not making
12:47empty promises
12:48he is ready to get
12:49the ball rolling
12:50but are you
12:51ready to get the ball rolling
12:53honestly
12:55I was a little hesitant
12:57first
12:58but I have
12:59given this
13:01a lot of thought
13:02and I've discussed it
13:04with Will and Bill
13:05and
13:06I'm doing this
13:09and I wanted you
13:11to be the first to know
13:12I hate this for Deke
13:22I mean he is such a sweet guy
13:24he does have so much potential
13:26he's a go-getter
13:27but it's just
13:27it's not ready
13:28no
13:29how do I do this
13:31as a young designer
13:32but it's the right decision
13:33for us I think
13:34yeah
13:35I wonder how he's gonna react
13:37I was giving him the news
13:40as he speak
13:41so
13:43what'd you hear
13:44do I have a permanent position
13:45on your line
13:46you are
13:50tremendously
13:51talented Deke
13:52but you still
13:55have a lot to learn
13:56Zenday's already
13:58on the line
13:59and I
14:00just found out
14:01that Thomas
14:01wants to be a part
14:02of Hope for the Future
14:03again
14:03I think I know
14:06what you're about to say
14:06they're not extending
14:09my contract
14:09are they
14:10unfortunately
14:13no
14:13but it's not
14:16because you aren't good
14:17you are
14:18Deke
14:18it's just
14:19there's no room
14:21right now
14:21Zenday and Thomas
14:23they want to take the lead
14:24and I really
14:24I didn't have
14:25any say in the matter
14:26it's okay
14:28Hope I get it
14:28I mean
14:29obviously I wanted
14:32to stick around
14:32but those guys
14:33are way more
14:34established and
14:35experienced than I am
14:36and
14:36I basically just
14:38graduated so
14:39usually it's after
14:41years of mentorship
14:42and
14:43working as a designer
14:44that someone gets
14:45the opportunity
14:46to be the lead
14:47on the
14:48high profile line
14:49like this
14:50yeah
14:51I know
14:52and I
14:54I have to keep
14:54proving myself
14:55I get it
14:57and I
14:58I will
14:59it's really
15:03really going to
15:04suck
