What Happened Previously on B&B

Eric (John McCook) enjoyed designing again. He created some gorgeous looks and was ready to share them with the world. Unfortunately, without even asking Eric, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) decided it was time for his father to retire. After all, Eric needed to think about his health.

Eric tried to talk Ridge out of it, but Ridge insisted. Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) saw her grandfather’s new designs, and she obviously felt conflicted about his forced retirement.
