At the Forrester mansion, Taylor, Eric, Ridge, and Steffy deliberated over their next move. Steffy proposed returning to the office to keep Carter and Hope from damaging Eric’s legacy or claiming credit for his work. While Eric admired her dedication, Ridge was hesitant, suggesting legal action instead. Steffy argued that litigation would take too long and insisted she could handle the situation, even while playing nice. Beneath her calm demeanor, she planned to outwit Carter and Hope, vowing, “I know exactly how to do it.”
Steffy reminded the group that Carter had once been a trusted ally, making his betrayal even harder to fathom. She vented about his hypocrisy, condemning her for mixing personal issues with business while he was romantically involved with Hope. Steffy declared they’d stolen from the family and deserved punishment. Confident in her strategy, she promised to undermine them in a subtle but devastating way.
Meanwhile, at Bill’s mansion, Luna emerged from hiding after Will and Electra left. Grateful for Bill’s protection, she apologized for her past behavior, including an awkward moment when she’d misread their dynamic. Bill reassured her, likening her to a daughter and reflecting on how his life could have mirrored hers if not for luck and determination. He committed to guiding her, offering her the opportunities he never had. Luna promised to abide by his rules and thanked him for his kindness, smiling at a photo of Will as Bill left for work.
At Forrester Creations, Carter and Hope were in the middle of a fragrance meeting with Fanny Greyson when they were interrupted by the arrival of the legendary perfumer Daphne Rose. She commanded the room, dismissing formalities, and entranced everyone with a mesmerizing new scent she called “Forrester.” Both Carter and Hope were captivated, though she left without leaving samples or explaining her visit. After she exited, Fanny encouraged them to pursue a partnership with Daphne Rose, calling it a rare opportunity. Carter marveled at their luck, while Hope remained in awe of the experience.
Later, Steffy encountered Daphne Rose at her home. Delighted to see her friend, Steffy asked about the meeting. Daphne assured her the deal was practically sealed. When Steffy teased about Carter’s charm and whether Daphne could influence him, Daphne confidently replied, “He’ll be putty in my hands.” Together, they hinted at a plan to turn the tables on Carter and Hope.
