00:00 (dramatic music)
00:02 - It's time we find out who Luna's father really is.
00:08 Is it you, Bill?
00:10 Or is my sister lying?
00:16 - Leigh said some harsh words about Poppy.
00:22 There could be some truth behind them.
00:24 - The paternity test will say if Poppy's claim's legit.
00:27 - Guess you're right.
00:29 - Hey, oh, hey.
00:31 Actually, I was here to pick up some stuff for Beth,
00:34 but kind of ironic running into you.
00:37 You wanna guess what my dad just told me?
00:38 - Oh, sure, I'll guess.
00:40 That Luna could be his daughter?
00:42 - It's gonna take all of us.
00:54 This is not something that you can decide on your own.
00:56 - Dad. - Yeah?
00:57 - You're my co-CEO.
00:59 We're partners.
01:00 We need to be on the same page.
01:02 - Can't always agree on everything.
01:03 - But you know Hope for the Future was on the decline,
01:05 and yet you still sided with her.
01:07 - I didn't side with anyone.
01:08 I did what was best for the company,
01:11 and losing Hope for the Future right now
01:13 is not what's best for the company.
01:15 - Oh, it's okay.
01:20 Don't worry, we'll just see you later then.
01:23 Okay.
01:24 Hi, Hope.
01:28 - That was Donna.
01:29 She can't meet us for lunch after all.
01:31 - Oh.
01:32 - So what happened at the meeting?
01:37 - Hope for the Future lives on.
01:40 - Really?
01:42 - Yet Ridge totally ruled against Stuffy.
01:45 - Oh my God.
01:46 I am thrilled.
01:48 I mean, this is fantastic news.
01:49 - I know.
01:50 - I'm so happy for you, honey.
01:52 - Oh, my goodness.
01:53 (upbeat music)
01:57 (car honking)
02:00 - Hey, you decided to come back.
02:03 I didn't know if I was gonna see you again.
02:05 - Oh, Deacon, I heard what you said.
02:08 - Here, let me help you with your bag.
02:09 - Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
02:10 Please, I got it.
02:12 - It's okay.
02:13 - This is all my worldly possessions.
02:15 - Tom, listen.
02:18 We never would have found that warehouse without you,
02:22 which means I wouldn't have found Sheila,
02:23 and I definitely wouldn't have found you.
02:25 Which means I wouldn't have found Sheila,
02:27 and I definitely wouldn't be married.
02:29 I know I can't repay you,
02:32 but I was serious about what I said.
02:33 I'd really like to offer you a job.
02:36 - Deacon, you're being real nice to me.
02:40 I just wanna let you know that most potential employers,
02:45 they don't really like to hire dudes
02:47 that struggle with bad habits.
02:50 - I guess it's a good thing that I'm not most employers.
02:53 As far as bad habits, I certainly have enough of my own.
02:55 - Are you good now?
02:57 You in recovery?
02:58 - Oh, yeah, I'm counting days.
02:59 - Okay, good.
03:00 Are you gonna show up on time?
03:01 You gonna work hard?
03:02 - Yes, sir.
03:03 - Don't ever call me sir again.
03:05 The offer still stands.
03:05 What do you say?
03:07 - I'm in.
03:08 (laughing)
03:09 - All right.
03:10 I'm lucky to have you.
03:11 - Yeah.
03:13 - It's a big risk.
03:16 The numbers speak for themselves.
03:18 Look, I don't wanna be in the same position that we were
03:19 when Thomas left the last time,
03:21 and we were screwed with the line.
03:22 - Stephanie, I understand your concerns.
03:24 I really do, but now that I think about it,
03:26 I agree with Ridge.
03:29 Hope for the future's a central component of Forrester.
03:31 They should just put together a new team.
03:32 They need time to get established.
03:34 And the designs, they look good, right?
03:35 They're good designs.
03:37 So give them some time to turn things around next quarter.
03:39 - It's not gonna be the same without Thomas.
03:43 I mean, Dad, it looks like you're gonna have to pitch in.
03:45 - I don't wanna pitch in.
03:47 That's not what I...
03:48 No, what I want is to focus on couture.
03:50 That's where I need to be right now.
03:53 I need less responsibility, not more.
03:54 - What are you saying?
03:57 - You've heard?
04:01 You've heard?
04:01 - Yeah, no, Luna told me.
04:03 - I haven't said anything to Will,
04:05 not until we get confirmation either way.
04:07 - It's crazy to think you might have a little sister, Liam.
04:09 - Yeah, well, you should see my dad.
04:11 He's excited.
04:14 - I already bought a fraternity to Tesley,
04:20 the same kind, Ryan Field.
04:23 And I'm a medical professional, so there's no room for error.
04:26 - All right, enough with the sibling rivalry issues
04:28 between you two sisters.
04:31 I don't want anything to tarnish what's happening today.
04:34 Poppy finally admitted that I could be Luna's father.
04:38 And I would like nothing more.
04:43 - Me too.
04:44 I'm praying that you're my father, Bill.
04:46 - Then let's find out.
04:50 - Shall we?
04:51 - Hey, Tom, let me ask you something.
04:59 How you fix for a place to stay?
05:01 - Oh, no, no, no, no.
05:04 I'm fine, Deacon.
05:06 I'm fine.
05:08 Listen, you've been so good to me.
05:10 It's been a long time since somebody's believed
05:15 in this old sack of bones.
05:16 - Tom, you changed my life.
05:19 I mean, you gave us a future.
05:21 Hell, you officiated our wedding.
05:22 Sheila and I are gonna be indebted to you forever.
05:25 - God, you know, I wish I was the guy
05:32 that had always the right words in my mouth,
05:34 but I appreciate it.
05:39 And so what can I do for you?
05:43 - Well, let's figure that out.
05:45 Have you ever worked in a kitchen?
05:47 I mean, do you think maybe you could do a little food prep?
05:49 - Oh, no, kitchens?
05:51 No, no, I barely know how to make
05:53 one of those microwaves work.
05:55 - Okay, um, or do you think you could wait tables?
06:00 I mean, I'm gonna be honest with you,
06:01 it gets kind of hectic in here, but tips are great.
06:04 - No way, I would spill the drinks on the customers.
06:07 - Okay, all right.
06:09 Put a pin in that, sorry.
06:11 Pizza water.
06:16 Damn, my delivery guy already left.
06:19 - Delivering pizzas?
06:21 I can do that.
06:22 - You can?
06:23 - Sure.
06:25 I still have a valid driver's license.
06:27 - Perfect, okay, uh, uh,
06:31 the keys are in the van outside,
06:33 just grab a uniform from the storage closet.
06:36 Hey, Tom, listen, this is an important order, though, okay?
06:39 - Listen, Deacon, I got you.
06:47 - You love your job, Dad.
06:48 No one knows the ins and outs like you.
06:50 - She's got a point.
06:51 - Okay, I'm a designer.
06:52 That's what I wanna do.
06:55 Not put out fires.
06:56 Yeah, I can do it, but I don't wanna do it.
06:58 You wanna do it, you're good at it,
06:59 you should be doing it.
07:00 - Are you serious?
07:03 - Not going anywhere, I'm gonna be right here.
07:04 Just don't wanna deal with salaries and budgets.
07:08 Look, Thomas is gone.
07:12 Dad isn't here that much,
07:14 so someone has to come up with product,
07:16 because without product, we don't have a company.
07:19 We all understand that, right?
07:21 - You should have been in that meeting.
07:29 - Oh, honey, I'm just glad it all worked out.
07:32 I'm glad Steffie won't be able to shut down your line.
07:34 - Well, the look on her face
07:38 when Ridge and Carter agreed with me, I mean.
07:40 And the fact that they acknowledged the belief formula
07:44 and the bedroom line, it was priceless.
07:47 - Well, my career has always brought me
07:49 tremendous pride and joy.
07:52 - Wow.
07:53 You were the face of the company for decades, Mom.
07:57 You were CEO.
07:59 I mean, what can't you do?
08:02 You've got brains, beauty, talent, confidence.
08:06 I mean, have you ever considered stepping up again?
08:10 I mean, would you ever want to take
08:12 a more active role in Forrester?
08:15 (dramatic music)
08:17 - Well, suspense is a bit much.
08:22 - Imagine how Bill and Luna are feeling right now.
08:25 - Yeah, sounds like they're both
08:26 kinda hoping it'll work out.
08:28 - According to Lee, Poppy would love nothing more.
08:31 - Okay, so how does this work?
08:34 My mom said something about a swab, or?
08:36 - Well, it's totally painless.
08:38 I'll swab the inside of your cheeks.
08:40 Then we'll insert the sample into a solution.
08:43 Then we'll dispense the solution onto a testing strip.
08:46 Then we wait.
08:47 Two stripes, Bill's the father.
08:51 One stripe, he's not.
08:53 - Sounds easy enough.
08:54 - Exactly.
08:55 No reason for you to barge in here.
08:57 - Can you please chill for like two seconds?
08:59 This is a huge moment in our lives.
09:00 - Yes, sweetheart, I'm sorry.
09:03 Let's just get the test done.
09:04 - We've waited long enough.
09:05 - That's for sure.
09:06 - Hopefully soon I will be told that you're my daughter.
09:10 (dramatic music)
09:13 - We're in a good place right now.
09:18 The company's making money, business is booming.
09:21 - Everything except hope for the future.
09:22 - Forget about hope for the future for a second.
09:24 They're gonna be fine, they're gonna bounce back.
09:26 They'll be optimistic.
09:28 Carter agrees, and he knows what he's talking about.
09:30 That's why he's here.
09:31 And I'm here because I need to design.
09:33 Because if I don't, Couture's gonna suffer.
09:36 It's on you.
09:39 - On me?
09:40 What do you mean?
09:43 I mean, yeah, I have the ability, I have the experience,
09:46 but that is a big responsibility,
09:48 and you know I have so much on my plate right now.
09:51 Are you sure about this?
09:53 You should take on a real leadership position
09:59 at the company.
10:00 I mean, Mom, the company never flourished as much
10:03 than when you were in charge.
10:05 - Well, it was a thrilling part of my life.
10:08 Really, I loved it.
10:09 And I could run that company effectively,
10:13 distribute capital efficiently.
10:16 And Steffi, giving up on hope for the future,
10:19 a lucrative line because of one mildly depressed season.
10:23 I mean, that is not competent leadership.
10:27 - Look at you.
10:30 You are all lit up.
10:32 I mean, you want back in, don't you?
10:35 - Maybe.
10:37 I have a lot to offer.
10:40 And there's a lot that I would change.
10:42 But Rich and Steffi are heads of Forrester,
10:46 and I don't wanna step on any toes.
10:49 - You mean you don't want to upset the high and mighty
10:53 and all-knowing Steffi Forrester?
10:55 - Right.
10:58 - Are you serious?
11:01 They call Poppy a gold digger?
11:03 - Apparently she has a type.
11:05 Very wealthy.
11:06 She thinks that Poppy's trying to manipulate it
11:09 so Bill believes that he's Luna's father.
11:11 - Oh.
11:14 - Hello?
11:14 - I've got a delivery for an RJ.
11:17 - That is me.
11:18 Thank you so much.
11:19 - Oh, well, you're welcome.
11:20 Here, here's this.
11:22 - Oh, thank you.
11:23 Napkins, yeah.
11:24 - Enjoy the pizza.
11:25 It's really good.
11:26 - Oh, you got the tip online, right?
11:26 - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm good.
11:27 Thanks, guys.
11:28 - Thank you.
11:29 I was hungry, so I ordered some pizzas.
11:32 You want some?
11:33 - Yeah, yeah.
11:33 I could use a slice, sure.
11:35 I mean, it could be a while before we find out
11:38 if Luna is Bill's daughter.
11:40 (dramatic music)
11:44 (dramatic music)
11:47 (dramatic music)
11:49 (dramatic music)
11:52 (dramatic music)
11:55 (dramatic music)
11:58 (dramatic music)
12:00 (dramatic music)
12:03 (dramatic music)
12:06 (dramatic music)
12:09 (dramatic music)
12:13 (dramatic music)
12:17 (dramatic music)
12:21 (dramatic music)
12:25 (dramatic music)
12:29 - Now we wait.
12:35 Soon you will know if your mother's telling the truth,
12:38 if Bill really is your father.
12:41 (dramatic music)
12:43 (people chattering)
12:54 - Hey, boss.
12:57 - Hey, that was quick.
12:58 Did everything go okay with the delivery?
13:02 - Oh no, it went really smooth.
13:03 - Yeah?
13:04 They tipped online?
13:06 What does that mean?
13:08 - I'll explain that to you later.
13:09 You're hired.
13:10 - All right.
13:12 You know I don't wanna make things
13:17 more complicated for you, right?
13:18 But I have to focus on design.
13:20 You get that.
13:22 - Dad, it's not that I can't do the job.
13:24 - No, you can.
13:25 Of course you can.
13:26 If anyone can do it, you can do it.
13:27 But if you think you need help, then let's find somebody.
13:31 It's gotta be somebody at Forrester who can step up.
13:35 - You were the best CEO.
13:36 Our buyers miss you so much.
13:39 - Oh, and I miss them too.
13:42 Paloma in Madrid.
13:45 She was a dream to do business with.
13:48 - Mom, I don't think you can even begin
13:50 to understand the amount of people
13:52 who still continue to reach out asking about you.
13:55 I mean, you go online.
13:57 You're still all that people can talk about.
13:59 And not just because you are a brilliant creator,
14:02 an inventor of one of the most highly profitable,
14:06 like innovative formulas out there,
14:08 but because you're a proclogan.
14:12 You're a personality.
14:13 You are a coveted legend in the fashion world.
14:18 - Well, thank you, honey.
14:19 That's very sweet of you to say.
14:20 - I just think that you should be the one
14:24 leading the company forward.
14:25 - There's no room for me at the top.
14:28 Stephanie and Ranch are co-CEOs.
14:31 - And how exactly did Stephanie become CEO?
14:35 - Her dad.
14:37 It's not like she put in years and years of hard work
14:39 like you did.
14:41 And now that she's trying to erase the Logan influence
14:44 from the company, I mean, please.
14:47 I would like to see what Forrester Creations would be
14:49 without the Logan influence.
14:51 - I don't like how she targeted you and your line.
14:53 That's for sure.
14:54 - I'm just, I'm tired of it.
14:59 - For years and years, she's acted like we're beneath her.
15:03 Like we're trash from the valley.
15:05 Okay, fine, sure.
15:06 Yes, you were a caterer's daughter,
15:09 but you got an education and you worked your way up
15:12 and that is not something to be ashamed of.
15:14 You created opportunity through your determination
15:20 and your willpower.
15:22 And Stephanie, she doesn't value that.
15:26 It's just an elitist attitude and I am sick of it.
15:31 Mom, please, I am begging you.
15:34 Make your way back to the company, take control,
15:37 and together we can put an end
15:40 to Stephanie's reckless leadership.
15:42 - Well, that was a good idea.
15:48 It's phenomenal.
15:49 - Definitely a needed distraction.
15:52 - Yeah, I was hoping we were gonna have some news by now.
15:55 - Would you consider keeping me posted?
15:58 I hate to be a jerk, but I'm late for a meeting.
16:01 - Yeah, of course, absolutely.
16:02 - Wait, it's Luna.
16:04 She says they're taking the paternity test right now.
16:08 (gentle music)
16:10 - Nervous, Penelope?
16:16 - Wouldn't you be, Lee?
16:18 You can see how much Luna wants Bill to be her father.
16:22 - You'd like that too, wouldn't you?
16:24 - Okay, how much longer is it?
16:26 - It's gotta almost be time.
16:28 - Not much longer.
16:29 I remember this house well.
16:33 It's really great to see you again, Bill.
16:37 - Wait, you two knew each other?
16:39 - Should I tell Luna or should you?
16:42 - Have at it.
16:46 - I'm sure you've heard of Finn's birth mother, Sheila.
16:52 - Well, she ran me off the road one night.
16:54 (tires screeching)
16:59 - Oh my God.
17:04 - It was horrifying.
17:05 I completely lost my memory.
17:08 I was lost, confused, traumatized.
17:13 Until a remarkable man found me.
17:17 - Bill?
17:20 Bill saved you?
17:22 - He brought me here and took wonderful care of me.
17:27 - Wow, I mean, what an incredible story
17:29 to think that you have that experience with my aunt.
17:32 - Bill came into my life years ago
17:33 and now we're waiting to see if he's your father.
17:36 (phone beeping)
17:40 - Well, look what we have here.
17:49 - What is it?
17:50 Is it one stripe or two?
17:52 - Come on, Lee, stop playing games.
17:54 Answer the question.
17:55 - Am I Luna's father or not?
17:58 (dramatic music)
18:01 (dramatic music)
18:03 (dramatic music)
