00:00Hope's line is critical to the future success of this company. It ushers in the next generation of Forrester Couture buyers.
00:08Okay, we've already been through this, Carter.
00:09You're very passionate about it.
00:11Yes, yes, I am passionate because of what I know. I know we need to serve all the demos.
00:16I know eliminating hope for the future severely limits our ability to do that.
00:20I also know we need to expand this company into a global luxury brand.
00:25I mean, don't you want to see Forrester become the creative financial powerhouse that has the potential to be?
00:31And listen, look, it is not about the money.
00:35Right now, Forrester lives and dies on the strength of his head designer.
00:41Something happened to you, Ridge, or Eric, God forbid, then what happens?
00:44Well, Zenday's not ready, RJ's green, and Thomas, he's talented, but he can't replace you, at least not yet.
00:50But Forrester would crumble. Expanding beyond fashion protects us from that.
00:57Look, you've entrusted me as your COO and your head of council.
01:01Show me that trust by taking my advice.
01:05I've done extensive research. I know what I'm talking about, so don't placate me or brush me off, please.
01:09There's too much riding on this.
01:12Forrester's legacy, your, your legacy, it's all riding on this.
01:16Are you finished?
01:19I told you, Carter, I'm not going to change my mind.
01:23Hope for the future is done.
01:27You're supporting Hope a little too much.
01:30And I'm starting to lose faith in your ability to do what's best for the company.
01:34Steffi, that's what I'm trying to do.
01:36What's best for this company.
01:39Ridge, you know me. You're my best friend.
01:42You know how much I love and value this place, what it means to me.
01:44All right, this is not about friendship.
01:47Steffi's right, you're losing your perspective.
01:50You've got to focus on what's important.
01:52What can be more important than...
01:53What can be more important than this? Tax papers, LLC.
01:56Thing I talked to you about a long time ago.
01:59Dad, Steffi and I, we run this company.
02:02You need to deal with stuff like that.
02:05You want to show me how much this company means to you?
02:08Do your job.
02:09Do your job.
02:14Something's changed in Carter.
02:29Yeah, I agree.
02:29I don't know what it is, but I really think Hope has gotten into his head somehow.
02:35I really think she's influencing him.
02:39Hey.
02:40How's your timing?
02:41No, your timing's perfect.
02:43I love having you here.
02:44Hey.
02:45Your wife and I were just talking about changes in the company.
02:48With Hope's line, you mean?
02:49Mm-hmm.
02:49Yeah, uh, Carter still wants to back Hope.
02:54You know, this is not an easy thing.
02:56It's very difficult.
02:57Because Forrester, it's not just a business.
03:01Almost like a family, and...
03:03Terminating Hope is, um, upsetting a lot of people.
03:07Like, uh, Hope's family, you mean?
03:09Yeah.
03:10Hope's dad just, uh, summoned me and just came from there.
03:14Deacon?
03:14What did he want?
03:15He wanted to convince me to have you take Hope back.
03:19And what did you say?
03:21I made it very clear I support my wife.
03:23I always support you.
03:24Good.
03:25I love you.
03:27Hey, Hope didn't respect her boundaries, and now she's fired and her line's gone.
03:31I don't regret it.
03:33She had this coming.
03:35And there's nothing she can do about it.
03:38Absolutely nothing.
03:40I really thought I would have heard from Carter by now.
03:43But no news is good news, right?
03:46I really want this to work out for you, sweetie.
