Brooke: I am truly honored to take on this role and help lead Forrester into the future. And I’m excited about working harmoniously with you, Steffy. Forresters and Logans united.
Steffy: Dad, why wouldn’t you come to me first? Let me know what you were thinking. I am your co-CEO. We’ve accomplished so much together.
Ridge: And we’re gonna continue doing that. I’m not stepping away.
Steffy: How? You just wedged Brooke between us in an executive position.
Hope: Which is something my mother more than deserves.
Steffy: Do you– do you not respect me? You don’t wanna give me that one simple courtesy that you were thinking this?
Ridge: How dare you say that? That I don’t– Of course I respect you. I’m stepping away from responsibility. I didn’t want it to land on you.
Steffy: Oh, okay. So you’re doing this for me?
Ridge: I am doing it for you. And I’m doing it for the company. And I guess you don’t see that now, but maybe one day you will.
Poppy: I wasn’t expecting to find you here.
Katie: Surprise.
Poppy: Yes, it is. Did the guard at the gate let you in?
Katie: Oh, his name is Alfred. He’s been with us since I was Bill’s wife.
Poppy: How long ago was that exactly?
Katie: It doesn’t really matter. You’re mistress of the manor now.
Poppy: Yes, but this is all still very new to me, as it was for you once upon a time.
Katie: Well, if you’re asking if I was born into this type of opulence, no, I wasn’t.
Poppy: Neither was I.
Katie: But you seem to be enjoying it, though.
Poppy: Well, I’m enjoying the home that I share with Bill and my daughter. Wouldn’t you if you were in my shoes?
Brooke: You can’t say a word to anybody. Our daughter is having feelings for an inappropriate man.
Deacon: Who?
Brooke: Steffy’s husband.
Deacon: Steffy’s husband?
Brooke: Don’t say it so loud.
Deacon: Hope’s got the hots for Finn? You know, don’t you? [ Sheila coughs ]
Sheila: Excuse me?
Deacon: You were eavesdropping. You heard everything. Sheila, what the hell am I gonna do with you?
♪
Sheila: I– I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Deacon: The travel agent I was speaking to. Come on, you heard my side of the conversation. Now you know I was gonna whisk you away on a belated honeymoon. [ Sheila stammers ]
Sheila: Really?
Deacon: Yeah, really.
Sheila: Oh! Oh, well, where are you going to whisk me away, Mr. Sharpe? Is it someplace tropical where maybe clothing might be optional?
Deacon: Oh, Mrs. Sharpe, you are a very naughty lady.
Sheila: Yeah. I’m also a very lucky lady to be married to such a… oof, incredibly sexy, loving man.
Katie: I have been in your shoes before. [ Poppy chuckles ]
Poppy: Of course. This used to be your home.
Katie: Bill and I moved here when we started our lives together.
Poppy: Um, just as Bill and I are doing now with our daughter.
Katie: Well, obviously you’re settling right in. Quickly.
Poppy: We have a lot of time to make up for. We lost years as a family. I finally want Luna to know her father. And the rest of her siblings, which includes Will. Well, I’m guessing that’s why you’re here, to talk to Bill about that and…
Bill: Talk to me about what? Did I walk in on something?
Steffy: So it’s done. Brooke’s part of the executive team now.
Hope: And I think it’s about time. She has been sidelined for far too long.
Steffy: That was her choice.
Brooke: Well, now I am choosing to roll up my sleeves and play a more important role here at Forrester Creations so your father can–
Steffy: Focus on couture. He doesn’t wanna be inundated with the daily minutia. I understand that. I’m not opposed to it. I welcome it.
Hope: Just not welcoming of a Logan having any sort of say-so in this company.
Carter: If I may interject, everyone here is on the same page about wanting what’s best for Forrester.
Ridge: Absolutely. That’s what it’s all about.
Brooke: I have to agree. But what it shouldn’t be about is division. Forresters versus Logans. Can we all agree on that?
Poppy: Katie and I were just chatting.
Bill: Everything okay?
Poppy: Oh, yeah. I was just surprised to arrive and find her in our home.
Bill: Well, I asked Katie over so we could talk about everything that’s transpired, given that it affects our son. I also wanted to know how Katie was doing with it. It’s been a shock to everyone.
Katie: I mean, to find out after 20 years, that you have a daughter? Poppy never shared that with you.
Poppy: For reasons I explained to Bill. Reasons he understands.
Bill: Poppy has given me an incredible gift. A beautiful, sweet, talented daughter that I am proud to call my own. And I will always be grateful to you for that.
Sheila: I just– I don’t know when I’ve ever been this happy, if ever.
Deacon: Well, I guess I must be doing something right.
Sheila: No. You’re doing everything right. And just being your wife, knowing that you’re standing by me, I’ve never felt that kind of love, that kind of support before.
Deacon: For better, for worse. It’s the pledge that I made to you, and I don’t plan on going back on it. Even when you say things that worry me a little. When you talk about how you’d like to have a bigger role in Hayes’ life, even though you know the chances are slim to none as long as Steffy’s involved and she is involved. She’s his wife, Sheila. I mean, he worships her. Whatever Steffy says goes.
Sheila: You make it sound like my son has no, you know, mind of his own. And he does.
Deacon: No, I get it. He does, okay? But I mean, when you’re talking about the family that the two of them share, you… I know. You wish things were different. But they’re not. Too much has happened. You’ve done too much to Steffy for her to forget or forgive.
Sheila: I’ve changed. I’ve changed.
Deacon: I know, baby. I know you have, and that’s why I married you. I know that you wanna live a life that’s good and positive, and I realize that.
Sheila: Yeah. Well, if only Steffy could realize that too, huh?
Carter: Okay, Ridge, this is completely doable. I’ll connect with Brooke and work out the specifics.
Ridge: It’ll take her a minute to settle in, I think.
Carter: I’ll do everything I can to help.
Ridge: Thank you.
Carter: We all will.
Ridge: Hey, listen, this is an adjustment for everybody, but it’s gonna be good for us. It’s gonna be what’s best for the company. And that’s the most important thing, right?
Steffy: Yeah. I’ll always be committed to Forrester. That’ll never change.
Ridge: So you’ll give it a chance? [ Steffy sighs ]
Steffy: Yes. Yes, I– I will. It’s gonna be tough. You and I have this incredible shorthand. It’s not gonna be the same way with Brooke, but we’ll figure out a way to get through it.
Finn: Hey. Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt. I can wait outside.
Steffy: No, no, it’s fine. We were just having a discussion about Brooke, her new position here at Forrester.
Carter: An executive leadership position.
Steffy: Dad wants to focus more on design.
Finn: Oh. Okay. Wait, so what does that mean for you and your dad as co-CEOs?
Steffy: I have been asking myself and my father the same thing.
Hope: I am so proud of you! Agreeing to be part of the executive team.
Brooke: I am so excited.
Hope: Well, it means we get to work together more now. As two Logan women.
Brooke: Yes. But we do need to cooperate with Steffy.
Hope: And we will. As long as she agrees to cooperate with us.
Brooke: Honey, we can’t get off on the wrong foot. Let’s just give her some time to get used to the idea of working together, okay?
Hope: Fine. I won’t do a victory dance in front of her. As tempting as that might be.
Brooke: Aww. I do appreciate your enthusiasm and support. I really do. But I have to ask… what is going on with your feelings for Steffy’s husband?
Deacon: Okay, you sure you’re good with this, right? Working the dining room?
Tom: Whatever you need, boss. Pour water, refilling the olive oils.
Deacon: Rule number one: you gotta make sure the customers have lots of breadsticks and butter.
Tom: You gotta have something to dip in the olive oil.
Deacon: Right? Good man. Uh, hey, Tom. You’re gonna need to stow the guitar in the backpack, though. You can– Put it behind the bar. It’ll be safe. I promise.
Tom: Okay.
Deacon: Okay.
Tom: Hey, Deacon. You know, I really appreciate all the new responsibilities. I promise I won’t let you down.
Deacon: I know you won’t. I just wish all my employees were as dedicated to their job as you are.
Tom: Well, you took a chance on yours truly, as is. I’ll forever be in your debt.
Deacon: It goes both ways. Sheila and I are in your debt for getting us hitched.
Tom: You know, uh, speaking of Sheila, there’s– there’s something I’d like to talk with you about.
Carter: I put together materials for Brooke so she can hit the ground running.
Ridge: Thank you, Carter.
Carter: No problem.
Finn: You okay?
Steffy: Well, it isn’t the best day.
Finn: Anything I can do?
Steffy: You can try to change my father’s mind.
Finn: Like, where did Brooke get this idea? Is this her idea?
Steffy: Dad, you wanna– you wanna say something?
Ridge: It was my idea. With Dad and Thomas gone right now, I kind of have to focus on design more. So, I gave Brooke some of my responsibilities so I could, um–
Finn: Focus on sketching.
Ridge: Yeah. The only problem is I’ve upset my daughter. For you to think that I don’t respect you, I don’t value your opinion, that– It just… It couldn’t be further from the truth. You gotta know that. I think you, me, Brooke, we can lead this company into the future. Give it a chance. [ Steffy sighs ]
Steffy: Every time I turn around, there’s another Logan. There’s no getting away from them. Like Hope wasn’t bad enough, now I have to deal with Brooke? Are you kidding?
Hope: Well, that came out of nowhere.
Brooke: Out of concern, honey. And don’t deflect. You already told me you have feelings for him.
Hope: Look, I– I– I know how it sounds, Mom, but I don’t wanna lie to you. I certainly don’t wanna lie to myself. Yes, Finn is an amazing man, and we are a lot alike.
Brooke: Come on, you can’t be attracted to Steffy’s husband. It’s only going to lead to disaster. You have to understand that. You do understand that, don’t you?
Tom: Listen, I’m not trying to get up in your business. I know how much you love her.
Deacon: But?
Tom: But, here’s the thing. See, I was thinking, to do the best possible job here, I thought I should do some research.
Deacon: What?
Tom: Online. Yeah, you see, I wanted to find out as much as possible about you and your new bride without asking you a lot of questions. So, I went to the library. You know, they’ve got computers at the library. The things I started reading about Sheila kind of freaked me out. Your lady love’s got quite a past.
Deacon: Yeah, I’m aware.
Tom: And you still married her?
Deacon: Listen, let me set your mind at ease, all right? Sheila’s done a lot of things in her past that, if she could, she’d undo them, but you know what she has done? She’s turned her life around. Sheila’s a new woman. Tell you what, let’s get back to work. Um… Yeah, let’s get back to work. I need you to get some stuff out of the, uh, supply closet. Go and do that.
Finn: I hate seeing you this upset.
Steffy: I hate being put in this situation. I’m completely blindsided by my father.
Finn: Hey, babe, but you know that’s not Ridge’s intention. He loves you.
Steffy: Yeah, and I love my dad too, but Brooke always has this, like, hold on him.
Finn: What, you think that she pressured him into–
Steffy: No, honestly, I really don’t know. I don’t know what happened. I think it was my father’s idea. But who cares? Who cares? Because at the end of the day, I’m gonna be the one who has to deal with Brooke.
Finn: True, true. But maybe if you give it a try, Brooke has the executive experience. She could be a good fit.
Steffy: Finn, are you really gonna say that to me right now?
Finn: No, that’s not– Okay– That’s not what I meant.
Steffy: No, I know what you meant. But I really don’t need my husband defending Brooke. Or Hope.
Hope: I am trying not to think about Finn, but it is not easy. He’s a good man. He’s easy on the eyes.
Brooke: Hope!
Hope: What? Mom, okay, yes, I know he’s married. And to even think about being with him would be like… It would be like–
Brooke: Be like what? You’re becoming your mother?
Hope: I did not mean it that way. I love you, Mom. And I am so, so proud of you and the woman that you are. Gosh, I don’t know, Mom. I don’t know why I am feeling this way. Why my emotions are so out of control. I mean, first with Thomas, and now with Finn. And I’m trying to understand where this is all coming from, and I don’t–
Brooke: I don’t know either, honey. Look, just– just promise me that you’re gonna stop thinking about Finn this way.
Hope: No, I know. I know you’re right, and I– I don’t want to feel this way. It’s like… something is clouding my judgment and I don’t even recognize myself anymore. So, I know that Finn would never leave Steffy. He’s committed to her and their family. And that’s the way it should be. It’s the reason why I admire him so much, is his loyalty. Finn’s deep capacity for love. Even for people who… don’t always deserve it. So, uh… their marriage, that’s between them, and I– I will… I will try not to… come between that. I won’t, Mom. I promise. I will not be that woman.
