00:00Honestly I was worried. I was worried this day would never come. I thought our friendship
00:08was too damaged to ever be repaired again. But after what you just did, what you did
00:14today, I'm so grateful to have my friend back. I still believe in Carter and me. Not
00:34going to let one kiss derail what we have. What in the world possessed Daphne to do such
00:40a thing? Well, she's used to getting what she wants. Although she did say that it was wrong.
00:47And you don't believe her, do you? Of course not. She's trying to sabotage my relationship
00:53behind my back. What I want to know is why. What's made her so bold as to do what she did?
01:07Well, well, well. You really do have feelings for Carter. I wasn't expecting it. I was so
01:17caught off guard. I almost left, returned to Paris. What made you stay? My run-in with hope.
01:30Answer me, Mom. I deserve the truth. Have you known all these years that Finn was my father?
01:38Just say it. Say that Bill and Tom Starr were just cover-ups and that's why you went to that
01:43music festival and slept with them so you can have more men to point to. Anyone other than Finn,
01:50your nephew. I never took a paternity test. You didn't have to. You had your own suspicions,
01:56your instincts. Yes, but I couldn't do that to Finn or my sister. I couldn't hurt them that way.
02:07You're checking out hot guys on the phone again. Oh, don't you know it?
02:29Take a look. Isn't Hayes the most beautiful little boy you have ever seen?
02:37I really miss my grandson.
02:44So every time I asked if you knew who my father was, you knew, but you lied.
02:51Well, I hoped it was Bill. One thing we had in common. There was a small chance that he was.
02:59Please. You just said it. You said that you felt all along that it was Finn.
03:04Yes, but you were scared, Mom. You were scared. You were scared to face Finn, so you ran away.
03:12I wanted to be a single mother. A woman can't raise a child on her own. Don't give me that.
03:18You weren't thinking of anyone else but yourself. Anything to avoid the scandal
03:22of sleeping with your nephew. I have made mistakes. I have regrets. But what you've done,
03:30I can't believe that you're not behind bars.
03:34Hold on. Did Bill somehow fall for your sick advances from before? Is that what's been going
03:41on here? The two of you? No, Finn. No, it is not like that between Bill and me.
03:47Really? Bill got me out of prison because he was worried about me.
03:51Mom, I was being targeted in there. I was going to die in that hellhole,
03:54and I'm always going to be grateful to him for that. And if you must know, there is a Spencer
03:59that I'd like to be with. Will. I know it's a long shot. I'm a total outcast here now.
04:06I don't even live here. I just came here to pick up some of my things.
04:11Bill kicked me out yesterday. Not that I blame him, but because you'd rather blame me for
04:17everything. Things would be so just told me the truth. We wouldn't have hurt each other like this.
04:24But you are still my mom. And I am still your daughter.
04:29What are you asking? Do you think that you and I can have a fresh start?
04:42It looks like I might be interrupting. I'll just go upstairs. No, no, no, no, it's fine.
04:46I was just telling stuff he had contemplated returning to Paris, but you're not. You're
04:52staying put in Los Angeles, right? Yes. For the time being, I'm here.
04:56That's great. I'm glad to hear that stuff. He's really enjoyed having you here and your
05:02amazing sense. So what changed your mind about going? Hope did. The moment she demanded I leave
05:11Los Angeles, never come near Carter again.
05:25Never occurred to me that Daphne would make a play for Carter, but maybe that was naïve of me.
05:34Considering what an attractive man Carter is.
05:37Mom, I have to be honest, I I'm really trying to take the high road here.
05:45Give Carter the benefit of the doubt. I want to believe in him and us and his
05:52feelings for me and the future that we are building together.
05:59I just I don't I don't think that he would let me down.
06:03Carter, look, we can see we realize this has been pretty hard on you.
06:10But you did the right thing. Thank you.
06:15There were days where I wonder how I let myself go down this road and why I didn't hit the brakes
06:20sooner. Then I take a look around and I see what we accomplished here.
06:25I thought you're doing what was right. It was worth it in a lot of ways.
06:28But it was wrong. I stand by what I said before.
06:36This is because I hope she led you straight. She used you.
06:41And I imagine she's going to be pretty upset when she finds out what you did here today.
06:53So that's why I hope try to send you away.
06:57The case, she insisted Carter make me leave for Paris immediately.
07:04How do you respond? He defended me,
07:07said we shouldn't ruin a successful collaboration because of it.
07:12I'm sure hope wasn't happy about that. Carter's a good man.
07:16He feels really guilty about the takeover. A takeover incited by hope.
07:21I love Carter and I know he loves me and our life together.
07:29And plus, I mean, we have control of the company and I know how important that is to you, sweetheart.
07:40But it isn't a secret. Forced accretions without Regeneric just feels terribly wrong.
07:52I know what this will do to hope.
07:55I've said she'll be when I tell her I gave you back control of the company.
07:59And I know how you feel about her is, but she's been good to me.
08:03But I couldn't go on like this.
08:06Success means nothing if you alienate the people that mean everything to you.
08:11You know, hearing you say that.
08:15I'm seeing what you did today.
08:17That's the man I missed.
08:20Come here.
08:30You want us to have a fresh start?
08:34Yes. That wasn't me, Mom. All those terrible things I did.
08:39That's not who I am. I swear.
08:42That's not who I am. I swear.
08:45And you want to live a good, decent life?
08:49Absolutely. And you want a guy like old Spencer.
08:56I mean, he's gorgeous, Mom. He's smart, funny, total package.
09:05But more than anything, I want my mom back.
09:12Tell me you want that, too.
09:21Never. That will never happen.
09:28The souls of Tom and Hollis will haunt you forever.
09:33And you have brought unimaginable shame to the family,
09:36taking the lives of two innocent men, framing me for your crimes.
09:40The idea that you've been pardoned so you'd rather me just rot in prison forever.
09:45The daughter you robbed of her father.
09:48How dare you make me feel guilty about Finn?
09:51You are a double murderer and you are not my daughter.
09:56Because you are evil. Evil.
10:03Don't you touch me.
10:10I mean, this is just it's really hard for me, babe.
10:22I miss my grandchild. The connection.
10:29Look, I don't want this to sound like some cliche greeting card.
10:34But she's got to stay strong. She got to just have hope.
10:49Don't you ever touch me. Not after what you've done.
10:53What I've done. You deprived me of my own father to save yourself.
10:58I mean, enough. Enough.
11:00I have had it up to here with your sob story.
11:03Oh, you're screwed up childhood, blah, blah, blah.
11:07It wasn't even bad. And I am sick of you using that as an excuse to try and justify
11:14taking the lives of two innocent men, kidnapping the woman that you now know is your father's wife.
11:22Steffi hates you.
11:26Finn won't have anything to do with you.
11:29I don't want anything to do with you.
11:34Do you know how much that kills me to say that to my one and only daughter?
11:39But it's true. Shut it.
11:43I don't want to hear it. So go.
11:46Get out of town because you have burned every bridge.
11:52Your family has turned their back on you and everyone despises you as they should.
12:00And you are not coming home to me or to Finn.
12:05I mean it.
12:08And if this is the last time that I see you, then so be it.
12:13Because you are no longer my responsibility.
12:16And I am washing my hands of you once and for all.
12:20I didn't turn you into what you've become.
12:24You chose the hell that you have created for yourself.
12:28And now there is no one on earth who will accept you.
12:32No one.
12:38Maybe there is one.
12:41Maybe there is.
12:47I've seen a real change in Carter.
12:50But is it enough to get him to reverse course?
12:54Dad thinks it might be.
12:55He and Granddad are at Forrester's, right?
12:58Actually, we're back with some pretty important news.
13:01Did you meet with Carter?
13:02We did.
13:03And?
13:05Don't keep us in suspense.
13:07Is Forrester creation?
13:09What? Back in our hands?
13:11The company is ours again.
13:12Oh my god!
13:25What's all this?
13:47I know a lot has happened recently.
13:50But I just wanted to do something nice.
13:55And give us a chance to talk.
14:01Because I still believe in you, Carter.
14:04I still believe in us.
14:25What are you doing here?
14:33You're supposed to be in prison.
14:35You killed two of our employees.
14:38Deacon's friend and mine.
14:39I'm calling the police.
14:40Please don't.
14:40I can explain.
14:41Oh, what?
14:42How you got out?
14:43How you're here?
14:44I'm not interested.
14:45I didn't get out.
14:46I've been pardoned.
14:48Sorry.
14:50Oh my god.
14:50What do I look like to you?
14:53Who in their right mind would pardon a homicidal maniac like you?
14:57Hear me out.
14:58Please.
15:01Everyone's turned their back on me.
15:03My family.
15:04My friends.
15:06I'm all alone.
15:07I have no one to turn to.
15:10But I'm hoping that there's someone.
15:13One person that can understand me and accept me.
15:19Who in their right mind?
15:22Would ever understand or accept you after the heinous things you've done.
15:31You, Sheila.
15:35You.
15:44Wait, you convinced Carter to tear up the LLC papers?
15:46Yeah.
15:47Here, see for yourself.
15:48Oh my god.
15:49Udge.
15:51When Eric said you had important news.
15:53This is the best news ever.
15:55It is.
15:55It's been a long time coming.
15:57You know, the important thing is...
15:58The important thing is that Forrester Creations is back where it belongs.
16:01With you, Fridge and Steffi.
16:05So what happened?
16:06What did you say to Carter to get him to come around?
16:08Not much.
16:08I just needed to...
16:09Make a little nudge from his best friend?
16:12You know, Carter hated this estrangement as much as I do.
16:14Possibly more.
16:16The guilt has been weighing on him heavily.
16:19But now?
16:20Now things are just the way they should be.
16:22A company that...
16:24Stephanie and I founded so many years ago is back in our hands.
16:28The Forresters are in charge.
16:30Oh my god.
16:32That's great.
16:44We haven't had a lot of time.
16:48Just the two of us lately.
16:50With everything going on at work and...
16:54This is a gesture to say that I would like to change that.
16:59I mean, I'm still hurt by Daphne kissing you.
17:05And the fact that you did not tell her to go back to Paris.
17:08But as you pointed out...
17:13We all make mistakes.
17:14And I want this to work.
17:18I just...
17:19It means so much to me.
17:21You, our relationship, everything we're building at the company.
17:28And at the end of the day, I really believe that we can make it through anything.
17:38Why are you so quiet?
17:41What's going on?
17:41Did something happen?
17:42What's going on?
17:43Did something happen at the office?
17:50Hope, uh...
17:54I always want to be honest with you.
17:59And there's something I need to tell you.
18:04Ridge and Eric came by the office today.
18:08Okay, so what did they want?
18:11Well, they always want us, since this whole thing started...
18:15Control of the company again.
18:17Well, of course they would want that when it's seen so much success.
18:22I mean, that's all thanks to you.
18:25You transformed the company.
18:26What with the fragrance line, the jewelry line, reinstating Hope for the Future.
18:31We are being celebrated worldwide.
18:34And that is thanks to you taking over the LLC.
18:38And luckily, I don't see that changing anytime soon.
18:58Right, Carter?
19:03We still control Forrester Creations, right?
19:08Tell me I'm right, Carter.
