Donna Logan Forrester’s Hint

At work, Ridge says Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) keeps him young. Then, he talks about Eric’s stress levels.

The doctor is worried about it. What could possibly be stressing him out so much in retirement, Ridge wonders.

Donna arrives. The blonde comments that Eric just misses working. Eric is trying to focus on a new kind of future.

Ridge wants to know what the heck that means. Donna leaves and Ridge wonders what’s really going on. Is his dad hiding bad news? Brooke is sure things will be okay. 

Bill Spencer’s Pressure

At Logan, Bill and Katie meet with Eric. They want to know when the designs will be ready. Eric says you can’t rush perfection.

BATIE gets it, but they kind of need to know when to launch the business. A few models strut in to show off designs.

Eric says they are all wrong, wrong, wrong!  Elegance is in the details, and this doesn’t have it. They need better silk. 

Bill says they can’t order from Forrester Creations’ supplies. That would expose them. The models leave while Eric mutters about quality.

The man wants Bill and Katie to trust him. They need to delay the launch. Bill totally freaks out! Eric says he’s only doing this if it’s done right.
