She lists all her accomplishments and demands that he acknowledge he has heard her. He needs to spell it out to her daughter that she’s being demoted.
Brooke orders him to act.

Once he leaves for work, Hope arrives and her mom explains she was right about her laying low. She’s talked to Ridge and about why she should help run the company.
