Brooke kisses Ridge and tells him that his handling of Steffy was nothing short of miraculous. They both agree that Hope wouldn't speak to Brooke again if she found out about Brooke and Oliver. He has it on good authority that Steffy will keep the secret. Stephanie would love to know what Steffy has on Brooke, but Steffy says she has to keep it under wraps right now. She teases her that there will be a Brooke tribute today on video. She wants to be there when Stephanie sees it. Liam would like to return Steffy's laptop to her, but Justin says he still needs it. There will be a Brooke tribute today and Steffy is in charge of that. Imagine having to do a tribute to someone you detest so much. Liam has a sinking feeling that Mr. Barber has done something to that video. Justin says he just wants to get the company back and the way to do that now is to drop a bomb ..one ready to explode. He calls in Jarrett and orders him to go to the press conference and to take the new intern with him. He puts the finishing touches on the Pose video. Amber flirts with Rick and they relive some hot old times. He knows she likes to shake things up a bit as Miss Ambrosia. She says her juices are flowing and she'd love for him to be able to get her in there for this Brooke tribute. Stephanie is surprised to see Amber back in town and at the press conference. Jarrett introduces Liam to everyone plus Pam who thinks he is a bright young man with a lot of manners. Brooke thanks Steffy for putting this together for today. She hugs her and says she wants to be able to work with her and will do anything to make that happen. Ridge is surprised to see Justin there and just warns him to stay but behave himself. Steffy introduces Hope and the video and says she is sure they will all think this is richly deserved. Hope dispels a few rumors and then thanks her mom and dad. She trusts her mom completely and holds her in the highest honor as a good mother. Steffy starts the video. Liam looks nervous. As the video progresses, everyone is shocked when Pose comes on and the SECRET IS OUT. Cameras start flashing; Hope looks like she will hurl as she glances at Brooke and then Oliver and sees the truth on their faces.
Brooke: (Sighs) Just when I think I couldn't love you anymore. Ridge: You had to have been going crazy. Brooke: (Chuckles) Oh, you have no idea. Between dealing with Steffy and trying to keep it from you and Hope... Ridge: It's amazing, isn't it, how things work out? Brooke: Well, it's not really how things worked out. It was you. It was how you dealt with the situation, how you dealt with Steffy-- nothing short of miraculous. Ridge: And now she's going to announce to the world my wife's return to Forrester Creations. You know, I'm very, very proud with how she's making amends. Brooke: Do you really think she's going to keep this secret? Ridge: Yeah, I do. Hope is never gonna find out what happened. Brooke: Well, I certainly hope she won't. I would lose her. She would never want to speak to me again if she found out what happened between Oliver and me. [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: (Sighs) And to think I was supposed to be getting on a plane this morning. Oliver: I'm glad that didn't happen. Hope: Mm-hmm. Me, too. (Sighs) My mom took it so well, you know? And--and Steffy, she did, too. And you got to know that she was counting on me leaving so she could make moves on you. Oliver: She's seeing things differently now. Hope: Yeah, I know, but why? You know, that's what I don't understand. I mean, I-I know my dad must have talked to her, but, God, wouldn't it be something if she really has changed? [SCENE_BREAK] Steffy: (Sighs) Stephanie: You're writing a tribute to Brooke? Steffy: Mm, it's a done deal. Stephanie: I'd love it if you'd tell me what you have on her. Steffy: (Chuckles) I would love to tell you, but not right now. When the time comes, you'll find out. [SCENE_BREAK] Liam: Uh, Mr. Barber? I really need to get Steffy's old laptop back to Forrester. Justin: I'm just about done with it. Liam: Okay, it kinda makes me nervous leaving it in your hands. Justin: Don't worry about it. I kept it safe. Liam: Okay, but that was a private conversation that I accidentally recorded, so... Justin: Between Steffy and her father. Liam: Right. Yeah, that conversation. Justin: Yeah, there are no mistakes in life, kid. Liam: Hey, I just-- look, I just want to delete it. I want to wipe all the files from the machine and get it back for recycling. That's the only reason I had it. Justin: Lucky coincidence. Liam: Why-- why do you say that? Justin: Did you know Ridge insisted Steffy do a video tribute to Brooke? Liam: Hey, you know, these people are just trying to get along. Justin: It'll be showing at the press conference today. Liam: Okay, well, Steffy must have worked fast then. Justin: Yeah, she must have. Liam: Mr. Barber, what-- what are you doing with her laptop? Justin: You know, Liam, it has been very helpful. Liam: In what? Justin: The Forresters, they have a network server. But of course, you know that. Liam: Okay. What are you getting at, Mr. Barber? Justin: Remote file access. There are a lot of possibilities. Liam: Uh, possibilities? Justin: You know, things you can do, ways you can embellish. Liam: Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, I don't-- I don't like the sound of that at all. Justin: (Sighs) You know, Brooke Logan Forrester, she is a very interesting lady. I think you would want to know the whole story, know what she's really all about. Liam: Okay, well, I'm sure Steffy put together what her father wanted. I mean... (scoffs) Justin: You know, I wouldn't want to be that girl, especially considering how she feels about Brooke. Liam: Yeah, well, she seems really committed to her dad, so... Justin: Wouldn't want to be in her position. I wouldn't want to have to speak up for someone I detest. That would really rub me the wrong way. Liam: Okay, what did you do, Mr. Barber? What did you do? Did--did--did you access Steffy's file? Did you do something to the tribute? [SCENE_BREAK] Amber: So, Rick, no love life, hmm? Well, that's just too bad. Rick: You neither. There's got to be some kind of a story there. Amber: I got to get back to the gym. Rick: You're avoiding my question. Amber: I need to work on my arms. You know, a girl's got to stay in shape. Rick: Well, I think that your shape looks pretty good. Amber: Oh, you thought I was fishing for that, hmm? Rick: Weren't you? Amber: Of course, I was. Rick: (Chuckles) Well, I meant it. Amber: You know me so well. Flattery will get you everywhere. Rick: So Amber Moore has returned. "Miss Ambrosia" style. Amber: (Chuckles) You remember. Rick: I remember a lot. Amber: Me, too. You know, we had some pretty hot times. Rick: Well, you played a very big role in my life. Amber: I doubt your family will ever forgive me. Rick: I-I'm sure not. Amber: Some of them may not be too thrilled to see me. Rick: (Chuckles) Amber, you have to admit, you did like to shake things up a bit. Amber: Moi? Rick: Even now, I look at you, and you have this-- this, like, twinkle in your eye, like you're-- like you're up to no good. Amber: Mm, well, I'll take that as a compliment. Rick: I meant it as one. Amber: Mm, really? Rick: (Chuckles) Amber: So... what do you think? Are they gonna let me into this event? Rick: You sure you want to be there? Amber: Are you kidding me? A surprise announcement about Brooke? It's just, uh, all this intrigue, it's... it's got my juices flowin'. How about you? Rick: I'll make sure you're on the guest list. Amber: Oh, you are so sweet. Sexy, too. You know, you've grown up real well, Rick Forrester. [SCENE_BREAK] Stephanie: I'd like to see that video. Steffy: It'll be playing at the press conference. Stephanie: I'd like to see it now. I cannot, for the life of me, begin to imagine what you have to say about Brooke. Steffy: (Chuckles) Oh, you'll be surprised. Stephanie: Well, surprise me. Steffy: Okay, all right. If you insist. (Sighs) I'll just pull it up. (Cell phone beeps) Steffy: Hold on. Oh, Dad wants to see me in the showroom. Stephanie: Okay, put-- turn it on. I'll watch it by myself. Steffy: No, no, no, I want to be with you when you see it. Why don't you just come with me? Stephanie: Oh. (Scoffs) [SCENE_BREAK] Justin: Look, kid, opportunities arise, and you've got to respond. Working here isn't for the faint of heart. We roll dice. We make things happen. Did I tell you that Bill Spencer used to own Forrester Creations? Liam: (Chuckles) Yeah, you mentioned it. Justin: He would still own it today if it wasn't for Steffy Forrester. She did quite a number on him. Liam: Must be some lady. Justin: Yeah, she's beautiful, conniving and smart and extremely loyal to her family. Liam: So what? You're out to get her or-- Justin: (Chuckles) No, no, no. I actually like Steffy. I admire her. I think she'd work well here at the company. What I'm after is getting the company back. But how can we do that? We'd have to create instability. Now how do you create instability? How do you shake the family business from the family? Well, you shake up the family by dropping a bomb, and we've got one that's about to explode. (Knock on door) Justin: Come in. Jarrett: You wanted to see me? Justin: Yes, Jarrett. Come on in. You've met the new intern. Jarrett: Yes. Hello, Liam. Liam: Yeah. Uh, hi. Justin: Jarrett, I want you to get down to Forrester Creations for Steffy's press conference and take the kid here with you. Jarrett: An intern? Justin: We were all interns at some time. I think this young man has some potential. It'll be good for him to see what happens today. It'll be his first big lesson in how we do business around here. Jarrett: All right, well, let's go. Liam: Uh... (Sighs) [SCENE_BREAK] Stephanie: Honestly, I think it's an awful lot to ask of Steffy to do a tribute for Brooke. Steffy: No, it's-- it's all right. It's all right, Grandma. Hope: Hey, I-I think it sounds pretty cool. I mean, I can't wait to see it. Ridge: Are you happy with the way it came out? Steffy: Yeah, it's-- it's better than I thought, actually. Ridge: Then this is a very significant day. Brooke: (Chuckles) Ridge: We're all family, all of us. Today, the fashion world is gonna see that firsthand. [SCENE_BREAK] (Daddy Yankee's "Pose" playing) (Music stops) Justin: That should do it. (Daddy Yankee's "pose" playing) Justin: Beautiful. (Chuckles) (Camera shutters clicking) (Indistinct conversations) [SCENE_BREAK] Thomas: Wait a minute. Is that... Stephanie: (Gasps) Oh, my gosh. It's Amber. What is she doing here? Taylor: (Sighs) She got an invitation here somehow. She's working back over at Jackie M. Rick: Hey. Amber: Mm. Rick: You having fun? Amber: You bet. I'm freakin' people out. It's like they're seeing a ghost. Rick: Well, you always did know how to light up a room. Amber: Mm, so, uh, thanks for letting me come. Rick: Sure. Thorne: It can't be. Amber, how are you doing? Amber: (Laughs) Thorne: Gosh. Amber: Ooh, Forrester warmth. Got to love that. Thorne: (Chuckles) Amber: (Chuckles) [SCENE_BREAK] Jarrett: I take it this is your first. Liam: Press conference? Yeah. Jarrett: Well, you picked a good one. Liam: Why do you say that? Jarrett: (Quietly) Steffy Forrester-- she despises Brooke. Liam: (Quietly) Okay, so, like, her father is, like, forcing her to do this tribute? Jarrett: (Chuckles) Pam: Hello, handsome. Jarrett: (Normal voice) Oh, Pamela, how are you? Pam: (Chuckles) I couldn't be better. Jarrett: Oh, uh, Liam, this is Pam Douglas, Stephanie's sister. Pam: How do you do? Liam: (Normal voice) Pleasure to meet you, ma'am. Pam: "Ma'am"? Mercy. A reporter with manners. How refreshing. Liam: (Chuckles) I'm--I'm just an intern. Pam: Oh. Stephanie: Everything all right over here, Pam? Hi, Jarrett. Jarrett: Hi. Pam: No farm, no howl. Jarrett: Uh, I believe that's "no harm, no foul." Pam: Oh. Jarrett: Uh, Liam, this--this is the Forrester brain trust. This is Stephanie Forrester. Stephanie: Hello, how are you? Liam: Nice to meet you. Jarrett: Dr. Taylor Hayes, and, of course, Eric Forrester. Uh, Liam's, uh, one of our bright new interns. Liam: Nice to meet you, Mr. Forrester. Eric: How do you do? Stephanie: Well, that sounds like quite an assignment. Liam: (Chuckles) Stephanie: Good luck. Jarrett: Oh, well, um, this is quite the event. Uh, I mean, Brooke's returning from a-a 5-minute retirement, and young Hope is not going away to school after all? What--what's the story there? Eric: Well, the story is that we're very, very happy that Brooke is staying here at the company. Jarrett: A-and the two of you share that sentiment? [SCENE_BREAK] Brooke: Thank you for doing this. Steffy: Oh, don't thank me. Thank my dad. It was his idea. Brooke: You went along with it. Steffy: Oh, well, I didn't really have that much of a choice. Brooke: I appreciate that you're doing this. Steffy: Yeah, it was a really interesting assignment. There was a lot of material. But I hope I did it justice. Brooke: I'm sure you did. I really want this to be a new beginning for us. And I'll do anything to make that happen. [SCENE_BREAK] Ridge: Hey, Justin. Justin: Ridge. Ridge: I'm surprised to see you here. Justin: Wouldn't miss this. Ridge: Not exactly Spencer Publications material, is it? Justin: Are you asking me to leave? Ridge: Might not be a bad idea. All right. You can stay. Just behave yourself. Steffy: As the director of Public Relations of Forrester Creations, I'd like to welcome you all. We're here to honor one of our own. As you all know, Brooke Logan has been a part of Forrester Creations for quite some time. We gather here today to acknowledge her significant contribution, and I think that this tribute is an accurate representation of what she's done for the company and for the Forrester family. I have no doubt that after watching this presentation, all of you will believe that it is richly deserved. Ladies and gentlemen, Brooke's youngest daughter, the face of Hope for the Future, Hope Logan. Hope: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much, Steffy, and thank you, everyone, for being here. Now before we begin, I would like to address a few rumors that I've heard buzzing around. Uh, the first is that I will be flying off to college. Um, I will not be flying. I will be driving... across town. Audience: (Laughs) Hope: I'm not leaving L.A. (Laughs) And--and the second is that we are abandoning the Hope for the Future line. Um, nothing could be further from the truth. Really, this line is still as vibrant and alive as it was the day we first introduced it. And I would also like to thank my father Ridge Forrester for spearheading the design team. Most of all, I would like to thank my mother. (Camera shutters clicking) Hope: Brooke Logan Forrester is a woman of many talents. But her highest among those is her talent as a mother. Really, I-I hold her in the highest esteem, and she has always been there for me, never let me down. I-I trust her with my life, and I love her with my whole heart. So without further ado, this is a tribute to Brooke Logan Forrester, produced by our very own head of P.R., Steffy Forrester. [SCENE_BREAK] Justin: Cool it, Liam. You look nervous. Liam: Well, I am nervous. What did you do to the tribute? Justin: Can't have cold feet if you're gonna play with the big boys. Liam: Well, what if I don't want to play? Justin: It's not an option. You're already in. Liam: I got a bad feeling about this. Innocent people are about to be hurt. Justin: Sometimes it works that way. [SCENE_BREAK] Steffy: Truly a renaissance woman, Brooke Logan Forrester is unlike anyone I know. Her legacy at the house of Forrester is far-reaching, enduring and eclectic. She has brought her own particular signature to every aspect of Forrester Creations. She has been a powerful force in the first family of L.A. fashion. We gather today to celebrate the life and career of this remarkable woman. As head of Research and Development, Brooke created a wrinkle-free, fire-retardant fabric formula that's become the industry's standard-- belief. But who would have thought this brilliant chemist would harbor even greater talent as a business maverick? The men's line, Brooke's bedroom line and a plethora of other accomplishments have contributed to the international success of Forrester Creations. Always engaging, forever charming-- Brooke's iconic beauty shines through, both inside and out. As a mother, there's no one quite like Brooke. When it comes to her children, she makes it happen-- no request too great, no detail ignored. With the help of my father, Brooke made her daughter Hope's recent graduation party the hottest ticket in town. Brooke was there chaperoning for a night her daughter will never forget. (Daddy Yankee's "Pose" playing) Steffy: Masked and wearing her daughter's necklace, Brooke led Oliver by the hand out to the terrace to a dark corner of the patio and seduced him. Audience: (Gasps) (Voices overlapping) Steffy: Brooke can't even control her libido, even at her daughter's graduation party. That's the kind of wife and mother she really is. She had sex with her daughter's boyfriend. Marcus: Oh, my God, Steffy. Steffy: Brooke's at it again. (Camera shutters clicking) Steffy: (Mouthing words) Ladies and gentlemen, Brooke Logan Forrester. (Glass shatters)
