Li: It’s time we find out who luna’s father really is. Is it you, bill? Or is my sister lying?
Katie: Li said some harsh words about poppy. There could be some truth behind them.
Rj: Then the paternity test will say if poppy’s claim’s legit.
Katie: I guess you’re right.
Liam: Hey. Oh, hey.
Katie: Hey.
Liam: Uh, actually I was here to pick up some stuff for beth, but kind of ironic running into you. You wanna guess what my dad just told me?
Katie: Oh, sure, I’ll guess. That luna could be his daughter?
[ Steffy exhales ]
Ridge: It’s gonna take all of us. This is not something that you can decide on your own–
Steffy: Dad.
Ridge: Yeah.
Steffy: You’re my co-ceo. We’re partners. We need to be on the same page.
Ridge: Can’t always agree on everything.
Steffy: But know hope for the future was on the decline. And yet you still sided with her.
Ridge: I didn’t side with anyone. I did what was best for the company. And losing hope for the future right now is not what’s best for the company.
Brooke: Oh, it’s okay. Don’t worry, we’ll just see you later then. Okay. Hi, hope. That was donna. She can’t meet us for lunch after all.
Hope: Oh.
Brooke: So, what happened at the meeting?
Hope: Hope for the future lives on.
Brooke: Oh, really?
Hope: Hmm. Yeah, ridge totally ruled against steffy.
Brooke: Oh, my god. I– I am thrilled. I mean, this is fantastic news.
Hope: I know.
Brooke: I’m so happy for you, honey.
Hope: Thank you.
Brooke: Goodness.
Deacon: Hey, you decided to come back. I didn’t know if I was gonna see you again.
Tom: Oh, deacon, you know, I heard what you said.
Deacon: Here, let me help you with your bag.
Tom: Oh, no, no, no, no. Please, I got it.
Deacon: It’s okay.
Tom: This– this is all my worldly possessions.
Deacon: Yeah. Uh, tom, listen, um… we never would’ve found that warehouse without you. Which means I wouldn’t have found sheila and I definitely wouldn’t be married. I know I can’t repay you, but i was serious about what I said. I’d– I’d really like to offer you a job.
Tom: Deacon, you’re being real nice to me. I just wanna let you know that most potential employers, they– they don’t really like to hire dudes that– that struggle with bad habits.
Deacon: I guess it’s a good thing that I’m not most employers. As far as bad habits, I certainly have enough of my own. Look, are you good now? You in recovery?
Tom: Oh, yeah, I’m counting days.
Deacon: Okay, good. Are you gonna show up on time? You gonna work hard?
Tom: Yes, sir.
Deacon: Don’t ever call me sir again. The offer still stands. What do you say?
Tom: I’m in.
Deacon: All right. Lucky to have you.
Tom: Yeah.
Steffy: It’s a big risk. The numbers speak for themselves. Look, I don’t wanna be in the same position that we were when thomas left the last time and we were screwed with the line.
Carter: Steffy, I understand your concerns. I really do, but now that i think about it, I agree with ridge. Hope for the future’s a central component of forrester and she just put together a new team. They need time to get established. And the designs, they look good, right? They’re good designs, so give them some time to turn things around next quarter.
Steffy: It’s not gonna be the same without thomas. I mean, dad, it looks like you’re gonna have to pitch in.
Ridge: I don’t– I don’t wanna pitch in. That’s not what I… no, what I want is to focus on couture. That’s where I need to be right now. I need less responsibility, not more.
Steffy: What are you saying?
Liam: You’ve heard? You’ve heard?
Rj: Yeah, no, luna told me.
Katie: I haven’t said anything to will, not until we get confirmation either way.
Rj: It’s crazy to think you might have a little sister, liam.
Liam: Yeah, well, you should see my dad. He’s, uh… excited.
Poppy: I already bought a paternity test, li. The same kind.
Li: Mine’s sealed. And I’m a medical professional. So there’s no room for error.
Bill: All right, enough with the sibling rivalry issues between you two sisters. I don’t want anything to tarnish what’s happening today. Poppy finally admitted that i could be luna’s father. And I would like nothing more.
Luna: Me too. I’m praying that you’re my father, bill.
Li: Then let’s find out. Shall we?
Deacon: Hey, tom, let me ask you something. Um, how are you fixed for a place to stay?
Tom: No, no, no, no, no. I’m fine, deacon. I’m fine. Listen, you’ve been so good to me. It’s been a long time since somebody’s believed in this old sack of bones.
Deacon: Tom, you changed my life. I mean, you gave us a future. Hell, you officiated at our wedding. Sheila and I are gonna be indebted to you forever.
Tom: God, you know, I wish I was the guy that had always the right words in my mouth. But I– I appreciate it. And so what can I do for you?
Deacon: We’ll figure that out. Um, have you ever worked in a kitchen? I mean, do you think maybe you could do a little food prep?
Tom: Oh, no. Kitchens? No, no. I– I barely know how to make one of those microwaves work.
Deacon: Okay, um… or do you think you could wait tables? I mean, I’m gonna be honest with you. It gets kind of hectic in here, but the tips are great.
Tom: No way. I would spill the drinks on the customers.
Deacon: Okay, all right. Put a pin in that.
[ Cell phone chimes ]
Deacon: Oh, sorry. Pizza order. Damn, my delivery guy already left.
Tom: Delivering pizzas? I can do that.
Deacon: You can?
Tom: Sure. I still have a valid driver’s license.
Deacon: This is perfect. Okay, uh, the keys are in the van outside. Just grab a uniform from the storage closet. Hey, tom, listen. This is– this is an important order, though, okay?
Tom: Listen, deacon, I got you.
Steffy: You love your job, dad. No one knows the ins and outs like you.
Carter: She’s got a point, ridge.
Ridge: Okay, I’m a designer. That’s what I wanna do. Not put out fires. Yeah, I can do it, but I don’t wanna do it. You wanna do it. You’re good at it. You should be doing it.
Steffy: Are you serious?
Ridge: I’m not going anywhere. I’m gonna be right here. I just don’t wanna deal with salaries and– and budgets. I… look, thomas is gone. Dad isn’t here that much, so someone has to come up with product. Because without product, we don’t have a company. We all understand that, right?
Hope: You should’ve been in that meeting.
Brooke: Oh, honey. I’m just glad it all worked out. I’m glad steffy won’t be able to shut down your line.
Hope: Well, the look on her face when ride and carter agreed with me, I mean. And the fact that they acknowledged the belief formula and the bedroom line, it was priceless.
Brooke: Well, my career has always brought me tremendous pride and joy.
Hope: Well. You were the face of the company for decades, mom. You were ceo. I mean, what can’t you do? You’ve got brains, beauty, talent, confidence. I mean, have you ever considered stepping up again? I mean, would you ever want to take a more active role in forrester?
Liam: Well, the suspense is a bit much.
Rj: Imagine how bill and luna are feeling right now.
Liam: Yeah, it sounds like they’re both kind of hoping it’ll work out.
Katie: According to li, poppy would love nothing more.
Luna: Okay, so how does this work? My mom said something about a swab, or?
Li: Well, it’s totally painless. I’ll swab the inside of your cheeks. Then we’ll insert the sample into a solution. Then we’ll dispense the solution onto a testing strip. Then we wait. Two stripes, bill’s the father. One stripe, he’s not.
Luna: Sounds easy enough.
Poppy: Exactly. No reason for you to barge in here.
Luna: Guys, can you please chill for like two seconds? This is a huge moment in our lives.
Poppy: Hey, yeah, sweetheart, I’m sorry. Let’s just get the test done.
Bill: Yeah, we’ve waited long enough.
Luna: That’s for sure.
Bill: Hopefully soon I will be told that you’re my daughter.
Breathing claritin clear
is like…
Ridge: We’re in a good place right now. The company’s making money, business is booming.
Steffy: Everything except hope for the future.
Ridge: Forget about hope for the future for a second. They’re gonna be fine. They’re gonna bounce back. Gotta be optimistic. Carter agrees, and he knows what he’s talking about. That’s why he’s here. And I’m here because I need to design. Because if I don’t, couture’s gonna suffer. It’s on you.
Steffy: On me? What– what do you mean? I mean– I mean yeah, I have the ability. I have the experience. But that is a big responsibility. And you know I have so much on my plate right now. Are you sure about this?
Hope: You should take on a real leadership position at the company. I mean, mom, the company never flourished as much than when you were in charge.
Brooke: Well, it was a thrilling part of my life. Really, I loved it. And I could run that company effectively. Distribute capital efficiently. And steffy, giving up on hope for the future. A lucrative line because of one mildly depressed season. I mean, that is– that is not competent leadership.
Hope: Look at you. You are all lit up. I mean, you want back in, don’t you?
Brooke: Maybe. I have a lot to offer. And there’s a lot that I would change. But ridge and steffy, are heads of forrester, and I don’t wanna step on any toes.
Hope: Hmm. You mean you don’t want to upset the high and mighty and all-knowing steffy forrester.
Brooke: Right.
Liam: You serious? Li called poppy a gold digger?
Katie: Apparently she has a type. Very wealthy.
Rj: She thinks that poppy’s trying to manipulate it so bill believes that he’s luna’s father.
[ Knock on door ]
Katie: Oh.
Tom: Hello? I’ve got a delivery for an rj.
Rj: That is me. Thank you so much.
Tom: Oh, well, you’re welcome. Here– here– here’s this.
Rj: Oh, thank you, napkins, yeah
Tom: Enjoy the pizza. It’s really good.
Rj: Well, you got the tip online, right?
Tom: Oh, yeah, I’m good. Thanks guys.
Rj: Thank you. I was hungry, so i ordered some pizzas. You– you want some?
Katie: Yeah. Yeah, I– I could use a slice. Sure. I mean, it could be a while before we find out if luna is bill’s daughter.
Li: Now we wait. Soon you will know if your mother’s telling the truth. If bill really is your father. (Woman) purina one true instinct unlocked her true instincts.
Tom: Hey, boss.
Deacon: Hey, that was quick.
Tom: Yeah.
Deacon: Did everything go okay with the delivery?
Tom: Oh, no, it went really smooth.
Deacon: Yeah?
Tom: You know, they– they they tipped online? What– what does that mean?
Deacon: I’ll explain that to you later. You’re hired. All right.
Ridge: You know I don’t wanna make things more complicated for you, right? But I have to focus on design. You– you get that.
Steffy: Dad, it’s not that i can’t do the job, it’s just–
Ridge: I know you can. Of course you can. If anyone can do it, you can do it. But if you think you need help, then let’s find somebody. There’s gotta be somebody at forrester who can step up.
Hope: You were the best ceo. Our buyers miss you so much.
Brooke: Oh, and I miss them, too. Paloma in madrid. I mean, she was a dream to do business with.
Hope: Mom, I don’t think you can even begin to understand the amount of people who still continue to reach out asking about you. I mean, you go online. You’re still all that people can talk about. And not just because you are a brilliant creator and inventor of one of the most highly profitable, like, innovative formulas out there. But because you’re brooke logan. You’re a personality. You are a– a coveted legend in the fashion world.
Brooke: Well, thank you, honey. That’s very sweet of you to say.
Hope: Uh, I just think that you should be the one leading the company forward.
Brooke: There’s no room for me at the top. Steffy and ridge are co-ceo’S.
Hope: And how exactly did steffy become ceo? Her dad. It’s not like she put in years and years of hard work like you did. And now that she’s trying to erase the logan influence from the company. I mean, please. I would like to see what forrester creations would be without the logan influencE.
Brooke: I don’t like how she targeted you and your line. That’s for sure.
Hope: I’m just… I’m tired of it. For years and years, she’s acted like we’re beneath her. Like we’re trash from the valley. Okay, fine. Sure. Yes, you were a caterer’s daughter. But you got an education. And you worked your way up. And that is not something to be ashamed of. You created opportunity through your determination. And your willpower. And steffy? She doesn’t value that. It’s just an elitist attitude. And I am sick of it. Mom, please. I am begging you. Make your way back to the company. Take control. And together, we can put an end to steffy’s reckless leadership.
Liam: Well, that was a good idea. It’s phenomenal.
Katie: Definitely a needed distraction.
Rj: Yeah, I was hoping we would have some news by now.
Liam: Would you consider keeping me posted? I– I hate to be a jerk, but I’m late for a meeting.
Katie: Yeah, of course. Absolutely.
Rj: Wait. It’s luna. She says they’re taking the paternity test right now.
Li: Nervous, penelope?
Poppy: Wouldn’t you be, li? You can see how much luna wants bill to be her father.
Li: You’d like that too, wouldn’t you?
Luna: Okay, how much longer is it?
Bill: It’s gotta almost be time.
Li: Not much longer. I remember this house well. It’s really great to see you again, bill.
Luna: Wait, you two knew each other?
Li: Should I tell luna or should you?
Bill: Have at it.
Li: I’m sure you’ve heard of finn’s birth mother, sheila. Well, she ran me off the road one night.
[ Explosion ]
[ Li shouts ]
Luna: Oh my god.
Li: It was horrifying. I completely lost my memory. I was lost, confused, traumatized. Until a remarkable man found me.
Luna: Bill? Bill saved you?
Li: He brought me here. And took wonderful care of me.
Luna: Wow. I mean, what an incredible story to think that you had that experience with my aunt.
Li: Bill came into my life years ago, and now we’re waiting to see if he’s your father.
[ Beeping ]
Li: Well, look what we have here.
Luna: What is it? Is it one stripe or two?
Poppy: Come on, li. Stop playing games. Answer the question.
Bill: Am I luna’s father or not?
