Brooke: ‘Cause our love is still there, Ridge, and I just don’t wanna live one more moment without you. TAYLOR: Ridge and I have recommitted to each other… in every way.
Brooke: Just come back to me where you belong. Need you to come home. [door slams] How could you do this to me? My own mother! Okay, wait. Wait a minute. So all of this happened today? Yep, it’s official. Carter tore up the LLC papers, handed the company back to Eric, Ridge, and Steffy. -Wait–but Hope is out? -Yeah. Apparently, Steffy tore into her. It was ugly. Canceled her line. Cancel–but wait, Carter’s staying on? And Brooke. Which, I can only imagine, Hope has gotta see as a huge betrayal. Just don’t know what this is gonna do to their relationship. -[both giggling] –
Steffy:Â We did it! Even better–we got the company back and Dad stood up to Brooke. He made his love and commitment for you known to everyone– this is just incredible! Well, felt good hearing him say it. Gosh, everything’s the way it should be. The company’s back. You and Dad are back together. [laughing] It’s a wonderful day for the Forresters! It is! I’m so excited! -Mom, dad chose you. -Ohh. Our family over Brooke. He finally sees what’s been -standing right in front of him. -Hmm. I can never love anyone the way I love your father. He’s…my heart.
Steffy:Â Well, your heart was broken. -But now it’s been mended. -Oh, it’s better than mended. -It’s stronger than ever. -Mm-hmm. And it’s full of love. [giggling] Well, I have to believe that Brooke and Hope will work things out because you know what? Logan women stick together. [chuckles] Logan women. Mom’s birthday’s coming up. Yeah. I haven’t forgotten. Gosh, I wonder what she’d think of all this. She’s been gone for so long, and it’s-it’s crazy, though. Sometimes it just– it still hits me. Like I’ll be driving in my car and a song’ll come on and I’ll just totally lose it. Yeah. I know. Couldn’t have been easy, right? I mean, single mom, but… somehow she kept us all together. Yeah. She was so strong. Taught us how to be strong, too, right? Yes, she did. And Brooke and Hope are gonna pull on that, that Logan strength–I know it. They’re gonna have to. They may need it now more than ever. How could I do this to you? [exhales] You’re right, Hope. I never should have done what I did. I lost the love of my life because of it. All that I ever tried to do was to stand up for what was right, what was fair, to defend our family name. I never wanted you to take over the company! We were going to lead Forrester Creations into the future and it was working– we were changing the culture. It was a success, and we made you CEO because we thought you were on board with us! I did it for Ridge! I took the CEO position to get the company back for Ridge! [dramatic music plays] [upbeat music plays] Whoo! Come on, sticky! Whoo. Justice has been served. Forresters are finally back in control of the company again. Mmm. Mmm! And Hope… she got hers. She thought that Carter was gonna leave with her, but he didn’t. I’m really hoping it’s the end of their relationship. It’s safe to say it probably will be. Yeah. Yeah, the end of Hope and Carter and… more importantly, the end of Dad and Brooke. To you and Dad. Finally back together again. Forever. So… you only took the CEO position so you could get the company back for Ridge, for the Forresters? You were never on my side? They didn’t deserve to lose their life’s work, their legacy, Hope. Did I deserve to be humiliated, to be called all of those vile names? That is not what we’re talking about here. What we’re talking about is you choosing them over me! No, I didn’t do that. I would never do that. I just wanted to get the company back for Ridge. [laughs] So you sell out your own daughter to do so. Please, Mom, you cannot defend that to me! You can’t defend what you did either. -[tearful laughing] -Ridge left me because of it, Hope. I’ve lost him! That is all that matters to you, isn’t it? -Oh! -Just Ridge. That’s the only thing that matters. Not that your daughter has lost her career, her love, her family. Not that the changes that we were implementing were working! The fragrance launch, the jewelry line– they were a success, Hope for the Future was on a rebound. We’re launching a new collection. None of that matters because you lost your Ridge. God, Mom, why– why are you never there when I actually need your support? I mean, for once, I just– I just… wanted you to pick me! You know that I’ve been there. I’ve been supporting you, Hope. My God, you’re my daughter. I love you. Just not as much as you love Ridge! That’s it! God, Mom, how many times have I picked you up off the ground after he left you, and you continue to demean yourself for that man! You gave him everything he wanted and betrayed your own daughter to do it. So where is he, Mom, huh? Where’s Ridge? Ridge! Oh, that’s right. He’s with Taylor. How many times are you going to allow that man to make a fool of you? Don’t you dare talk to your mother like that. I am not going to let you berate my sister. She did what she thought was right. Wait, so you– you knew? You knew why she accepted the CEO position? [gasps] The two people I’m supposed to trust most. My own family… made a fool of me. Well, I really have lost everything, haven’t I? Even my own mother. [heavy music plays] What? Ah, it’s root beer floats… just like what your grandmother would give you when you had something to celebrate. Well, I figured since we got the company back from the Logans, it made sense. Mmm. You remind me so much of her– strong, smart, -a force to be reckoned with. -[both chuckle] I’m so proud of you. Your grandmother would be too. I hope so. Grandmother had such great advice. And still, when I’m unsure of what to do, I just…I imagine what she would say to me. She loved you so much. Her namesake. Well, I am determined to live up to her legacy. And she warned me to be wary of the Logans, and, boy, did I listen. I took what she said to heart. But it finally happened, Mom. We won. The battle is over. Hope is out of the company, and Dad made it clear that he wants a life with you, he wants a future with you. I have a hard time believing it’s…real. It’s been such a struggle all these years. And now we’re together. We’re solid. Just makes me feel… giddy–I mean, that’s the only word I can use to describe it. Like when he walks in the room, I feel like my heart’s gonna jump out of my chest. I’m like some lovesick schoolgirl. I know it’s totally ridiculous, but I don’t care because I’m so happy, I’m so in love. I promise I won’t start singing. -[laughs] -And if you tell anybody I just said that, I’ll tell them it’s the sugar talking. Don’t worry. Anything shared over a sacred root beer float stays in this room. There’s no one I can trust. Hope, please listen to me. We’re Logan women. Katie, I don’t wanna hear about the Logan women and how we’re supposed to support and protect each other when, clearly, that is a lie, and besides, I’m not even really a Logan, am I? What are you talking about? I only have this last name because Mom was too ashamed to give me my father’s name– isn’t that right, Mom? -Your little mistake? -Okay, stop, stop, because you are saying things that you’re gonna regret, things you can’t take back. Your mother has always been there for you. She wasn’t there for me today when I needed her the most. No, she was standing up there with my supposed love and champion Carter as Steffy humiliated me yet again. Disrespected me, all my years of hard work, our family name… and did she walk out with me in solidarity? No! No. It was just empty words of protest and never action. She would rather watch Steffy win at my expense than be there for her own daughter. All because you wanna try to get back Ridge. Isn’t that right, Mom? [tearful laughing] You abandoned me when I needed you the most! [crying] I just needed you to pick me once. And instead, you just–you just want your precious destiny. You want your Ridge back, right, Mom? Well, did you beg this time? Did you cry? Did you grovel at his feet? I hope it was worth it! You’ll never understand what Ridge and I have. Had. He doesn’t want you anymore. When are you going to get that? You would rather betray your own daughter and be with a man that drops you at the slightest inconvenience. -How is that love? -KATIE: Okay, stop. Your mother doesn’t deserve this, Hope. Come on!
Brooke: Yes, I told him that I want him… and I told him that I love him and that I want him back, I want him in my life, and he wouldn’t listen to me. He’s gonna stay with Taylor. And you know what? Steffy could have done things a different way. She was wrong. But you were wrong too, Hope. You never should have taken over the company with Carter. And until you take responsibility for your actions, I have no sympathy for you whatsoever. And I’m not gonna be spoken to like that. You are not going to attack me in my house. Do you understand that? Not in my home! So what are you saying, Mom? Are you kicking me out? [tense music plays] [giggling, shrieking] Oh, my God, I haven’t danced like that in so long. It’s so good! It’s so good. I have to tell you, like when I am by myself sometimes, I just like blast the music and I dance. It feels so good for my body. -I feel like it heals me. -Hmm. I remember when you were pregnant with Hayes. The doctor said you were gonna dance that baby out. Mm-hmm, and I have to admit, my kids have amazing rhythm. They are so lucky to have a mom like you. Well, I learned from the best. Mmm. Thank you for saying that. I know it hasn’t always been easy. There were times I couldn’t be here for you. Mom. I never doubted your love for me. I know I could always count on you. My sweet girl. I love you so much. You’re such a gift to me. I know. Well, I’m-I’m really, really happy for you, Mom. You deserve all the happiness in the world. -Mmm. Come here. -I love you. [upbeat song plays] Oh! I love this song. Oh, yeah. -Little old school. -Old school? -Who you calling old? -I’m not–certainly not you! Come on, let’s dance. -Okay. -Go for it. Show me what you got. Okay. Okay. Okay! Okay! Yes, girl! Yes, girl! I’m no longer welcome in your home. Is that what you’re saying? Hope, please. I’m sure that’s not what your mother means. That is exactly what she means. I mean, she’s probably jumping at the chance to run and tell Ridge that she got rid of me just so she can try to get him back, right, Mom? I told Ridge to leave here because of you. -Don’t you remember that? -And don’t you remember that man calling your own daughter a whore and a bitch and still, you take his side– Okay, stop. This is going to end. When? Please enlighten me, Katie. When is this cycle ever going to end of her constantly choosing the Forresters and their disrespect -over her own family’s love? -Okay, you know what? I get it. You had a bad day today. I understand that, Hope. But you did something wrong, and you have to own it! Carter sees it. I don’t wanna hear about Carter! -He knew what he did– -I sacrificed everything -for him and for his vision… -My God. …and I took the fall for him! Carter couldn’t even live with himself. He had to make things right. Why can’t you see that, Hope? He did it by turning his back on me. The same way that you are. So this is what you want, huh? What are you talking about? I don’t want any of this. I didn’t want you to push Carter into taking over the company! -Oh! -I warned you you were making a mistake. I told you there’d be serious repercussions, and you didn’t listen to me. And now I’m not gonna have you blame me or anybody else for your mistakes. Actions have consequences. And you did this. This was your choice. And you messed up, just like you messed up so many times in your life– your marriage to Liam, your relationship with Thomas, with Douglas, and now this? Are you serious, Hope? This coup with Carter? You say you lost everything in your life? Well, I lost something too! I lost Ridge, and it’s all because of you! I blame you! Who are you? You are not my daughter. Get out. Get out of my house! Get out! [groans] Ohh– -HOPE: Get out of my face– -No, don’t! Don’t, Hope. Don’t. Don’t, Hope. This is not who you are, baby. It’s not who you are. [muttering] I can’t–just– Hope, Hope. Stop! -No! -Hope. -I’m sorry, Mom. -Oh, honey. I’m sorry. I love you. -I’m sorry. -[Hope sobbing]
Brooke: You’re just upset right now. It’s okay. I lost everything. [sobbing] I’m sorry. -I’m sorry. -It’s okay. It’s okay. I love you. [whispering] I love you. [emotional music plays]
