Mr. Forrester lost a lot of blood during surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Bridget: I&#8217;ve seen a lot of patients like this, just not when it&#8217;s my dad.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Martin: He could improve.<\/p>\n<p>Bridget: We lost him. He was gone.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: We got him back.<\/p>\n<p>[ Heart monitor beeping ]<\/p>\n<p>Bridget: I&#8217;m just wondering if ridge was right, and we should have just let him go painlessly, peacefully.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: Zende, dad would be so touched by your offer. I know I am.<\/p>\n<p>Zende: This collection meant so much to him, if we can finish it&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: We will finish it. We will. Hopefully, to celebrate his recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Zende: I hope so, too. But we don&#8217;t know, we don&#8217;t know if granddad&#8217;s gonna pull through or if he&#8217;ll ever be the same person. I don&#8217;t even want to think about it. The only thing I can do is&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: Is what?<\/p>\n<p>Zende: Is work. That&#8217;s what granddad did. When faced with his own mortality, he kept creating, determined to make his last collection his best. If we work together, I know it will be. R.J., He&#8217;s too young. He&#8217;s too inexperienced. His time will come. But not now. Not on granddad&#8217;s last collection.<\/p>\n<p>Luna: You&#8217;re finishing eric&#8217;s collection with your dad?<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: Yes, yes, he really wants to collaborate with me.<\/p>\n<p>Luna: R.J., That&#8217;s incredible.<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: Yeah, granddad would be proud of me, right? Like, he&#8211; he would want his son and his grandson to finish this collection that means so much to him, yes? Thank you, thank you for being here for me, seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Zende: Come on, ridge. It give me a chance, let me do this, I know you want to work with your son, but this project is crucial to eric&#8217;s legacy, and needs seasoned professionals.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: My dad picked R.J. To work with him.<\/p>\n<p>Zende: And that made sense when eric was here to teach R.J., To show him exactly what he wanted. This is different.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: Zende&#8230; I know how talented you are. I know what you bring to the table, believe me. But R.J. Started this. He needs to finish it. But we could use your help.<\/p>\n<p>Steffy: Hey, sorry, my meeting ran over, you ready? Let&#8217;s go to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: To be continued.<\/p>\n<p>[ Heart monitor beeping ]<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Martin: I have to get to another consult.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: Thanks again for stopping by, dr. Martin.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Martin: Of course. I&#8217;ll be monitoring his chart. I&#8217;ll put you on the order as well. I truly hope he pulls through.<\/p>\n<p>Bridget: Thank you, doctor.<\/p>\n<p>[ Ventilator hissing ] I knew this procedure was not a sure thing, but&#8230; it gave him a chance.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: Your father hasn&#8217;t lost that chance, bridget. He&#8217;s still with us.<\/p>\n<p>Bridget: I just want him back. I want my dad back the way he was. I don&#8217;t want to see him struggle like this.<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: What&#8217;s going on?<\/p>\n<p>Bridget: Mom.<\/p>\n<p>Donna: Bridget, tell us the truth. Is eric gonna&#8211; is he gonna pull through?<\/p>\n<p>[ Knocking at door ]<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>James: Hey, didn&#8217;t mean to interrupt, but the news about eric&#8217;s hit the media.<\/p>\n<p>Luna: Yeah, we&#8217;ve been getting a bunch of calls from various buyers and friends of eric&#8217;s, just praying and hoping for the best.<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: Yeah, we are. Can you do me a huge favor? Can you check in with katie, and make sure that she can point remotely? Otherwise, we got to find someone else.<\/p>\n<p>James: On it.<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: Thank you. Appreciate it, james. I feel bad. I feel greedy.<\/p>\n<p>Luna: Why?<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: Because I want more time with granddad.<\/p>\n<p>Luna: It&#8217;s not greedy. That&#8217;s normal.<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: Well, I mean, I got to spend so much time with him, all the time in the collection, I knew about his condition before anybody else did, and the rest of the family&#8217;s going to get to la, and it might be too late for them.<\/p>\n<p>Luna: Or he might be awake, and getting better as we speak, and they&#8217;ll never have to see him in such a scary place.<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: You know, granddad&#8217;s the king of pep talks, but you&#8217;re not half bad at them, either.<\/p>\n<p>Luna: Well, you weren&#8217;t the only one that was paying attention to eric&#8217;s lessons.<\/p>\n<p>Steffy: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Steffy: We&#8217;re going to go to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: Did something happen?<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: No, just checking in. You want to come?<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: Of course. You don&#8217;t have to ask.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: All right, let&#8217;s go.<\/p>\n<p>Luna: Hey, tell eric I&#8217;m keeping the faith, okay?<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Bridget: I really wish I could tell you what you want to hear, mom. We just don&#8217;t know right now.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: But I&#8217;ve ordered more labs&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Donna: More labs? More tests? Well, did the procedure make any difference?<\/p>\n<p>Finn: Only time will tell.<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: He&#8217;s still critical. He&#8217;s not breathing on his own.<\/p>\n<p>Donna: I mean, certainly there should be some change, right, I mean, some sign that says it&#8217;s working or&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Bridget: That&#8217;s why finn is monitoring him. He&#8217;s calling all these tests and this lab work. Right now, we just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n<p>[ Ventilator hissing ]<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: Here you go.<\/p>\n<p>Donna: Hey, thanks, um&#8230; I, um&#8211; I should really&#8211; I should get in there.<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: No, wait, hang on. You need to take a moment for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Donna: What if something happens, and I&#8217;m not there?<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: It&#8217;s okay. The nurse is in there. Finn and bridget are here. It&#8217;s okay.<\/p>\n<p>[ Elevator dings ]<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: Hey, mom. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Steffy: Hey, we came here as soon as we could.<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: How are you holding up?<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: Is there any news?<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: Well, no, no change.<\/p>\n<p>Steffy: We hear we almost lost him.<\/p>\n<p>Donna: Uh, yeah, apparently, he, um, survived the procedure to crash in recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Steffy: He crossed over to the other side.<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: But he&#8217;s back now.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: He&#8217;s back? Is he back? This is not life for dad, this is not what he wants, he wants to create, he wants to live and eat and drink, and this is&#8211; he has a machine keeping him alive. It&#8217;s not what he wanted. We wanted this. Could have spared him this. Could have.<\/p>\n<p>Zende: I was looking for R.J. Is he in the cutting room?<\/p>\n<p>Luna: He actually just left with ridge and steffy. They went to go see eric.<\/p>\n<p>Zende: R.J. Too? I didn&#8217;t realize. I try to go see granddad as often as I can. I mean, I was at the hospital before work. I&#8217;m going to go after work. But it would be nice if ridge invited me to come sometimes with them. My granddad is fighting for his life, luna. That&#8217;s the most important thing. But sometimes, I feel like I&#8217;m not fully a part of this family.<\/p>\n<p>Steffy: Finn said there was no guarantees with the treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Donna: But it could still save eric.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: And I&#8217;m not questioning anyone&#8217;s judgment, just my own, I made the call.<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: And we all understand how difficult that must have been.<\/p>\n<p>Steffy: It was an intense moment. Seemed like he wanted to come back to us.<\/p>\n<p>Donna: He has to, I need him.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: We all need him. But he&#8217;s on a machine right now. It&#8217;s not what he wanted.<\/p>\n<p>[ Muffled announcement over pa ]<\/p>\n<p>Donna: Bridget, finn. Uh, how is eric? Did the panel show any&#8211; anything&#8211; anything?<\/p>\n<p>Bridget: There&#8217;s no change.<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: Can I go see him right now, if that&#8217;s okay?<\/p>\n<p>Finn: Oh, yeah. Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: So no change? What&#8211; what does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>Finn: We want to take eric off the ventilator, but his pulmonary function will have to improve first.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: So can he breathe on his own?<\/p>\n<p>Finn: No.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: Okay. So the thing that my dad didn&#8217;t want, to be kept alive by machines, that is exactly what&#8217;s happening.<\/p>\n<p>[ Ventilator hissing ]<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Nurse: Of course.<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: Hey, granddad. Is that okay? You know, these hands&#8230; they&#8217;ve made some great art, some truly timeless designs. I hope you know that. I know that when they stopped working, you turned to me. I can&#8217;t tell you how much that meant to me. You know, I was talking with luna today about just how honored I felt when you asked me you know, and you told me that you wanted me to help you. And that I&#8217;m just laughing with you. And learning from you. I want you to fight, granddad. We really, really want you to fight. Just you&#8211; this isn&#8217;t your time. You have so much more to offer the world. I&#8217;m&#8211; I&#8217;m not ready to let go of you yet. I&#8217;m not.<\/p>\n<p>James: So R.J. Is not here?<\/p>\n<p>Luna: He went to the hospital with ridge and steffy.<\/p>\n<p>James: Ah, okay. Well, katie said that she&#8217;s all over it, working from her phone.<\/p>\n<p>Luna: Oh, thanks, james. I&#8217;ll text R.J., And update him.<\/p>\n<p>James: Hey, zende, we&#8217;re all pulling for your grandfather.<\/p>\n<p>Zende: Thanks, man.<\/p>\n<p>[ Notification chimes ]<\/p>\n<p>[ Door clicks closed ]<\/p>\n<p>Luna: It&#8217;s true, you know. We&#8217;re all thinking positively for eric. And you should, too. Not just for him, but for what we were talking about earlier. I mean, I don&#8217;t think that any of your family members would want you to feel shut out.<\/p>\n<p>Zende: No, they don&#8217;T. And they&#8217;re probably not even conscious of it. But lately, it&#8217;s been hard to ignore.<\/p>\n<p>Luna: Um, R.J. Told me that ridge wants them to finish the line together as father and son.<\/p>\n<p>Zende: Yeah, go figure.<\/p>\n<p>Luna: I&#8217;m sorry, zende. I know you were looking forward to completing it on your own.<\/p>\n<p>Zende: I&#8217;m not trying to trash talk R.J., I know he&#8217;s your boyfriend. In the fashion world, he is like a little kid compared to me. This line needs to be nurtured and realized by someone who&#8217;s worked with granddad for years, not weeks. I wanted to use my skill, my talent to honor my grandfather, pay my respects, finish his line. But I am not the chosen one. I&#8217;m not ridge jr.<\/p>\n<p>Luna: You&#8217;re frustrated, disappointed, I understand.<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: I just hate it. He&#8217;s just lying there helpless. I hate it.<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: Oh, sweetheart.<\/p>\n<p>Steffy: Can he have another visitor?<\/p>\n<p>Finn: Yeah, for sure, I&#8217;ll come with you.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: I know it hurts seeing your granddad like that.<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: You know, I&#8217;m just thinking he&#8217;d want us to be as strong for him as he&#8217;d be for us, yes?<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: I&#8217;m proud of you. Showing a lot of maturity.<\/p>\n<p>R.J.: Well, thank you, dad. Appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: We gotta do what he&#8217;d want us to do, right? The tougher things get, the more we pull together.<\/p>\n<p>[ Ventilator hissing ]<\/p>\n<p>Finn: He can hear you.<\/p>\n<p>Steffy: I know he can. We have a special connection. We always have. Maybe it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m named after grandma. The great love of your life. You made this family. You made it great. You made it resilient. You made it strong. Now I have my own family. With finn and the kids. But it&#8217;s not going to be the same without my big-hearted grandfather.<\/p>\n<p>[ Sobbing ] Is it selfish that I want you to fight? Fight to come back to us. To me. God. I know you could be at peace right now with&#8230; with grandmother and phoebe. And so many people who love you. You wouldn&#8217;t be tied up to this&#8211; this ventilator and all these tubes and machines around you, because I hate to say it, you look&#8211; you look trapped. And I don&#8217;t want you to suffer. I couldn&#8217;t bear it. I couldn&#8217;T. God, maybe dad was right. Maybe&#8211; did we not honor your wishes? Is it my fault? Ah. [ Sobbing ] I am so sorry, granddad. I am so sorry. But if you&#8217;re tired, and you don&#8217;t want to fight anymore, and you found a moment of peace, you could go. [ Sobbing ] You could go. We&#8217;ll understand.
