At the Forrester mansion, Eric, Ridge, and Taylor discussed Steffy’s secretive plan to reclaim the company. Eric disapproved of the sneaky approach, while Ridge supported Steffy’s goal of ousting Carter and Hope. The group reflected on Brooke’s actions, with Ridge blaming Hope for starting the conflict. Eric was shocked Brooke had slapped Ridge, and Taylor laughed off Brooke’s attempts to hurt her, insisting she no longer had the power to do so.
Eric left, leaving Ridge and Taylor alone. Ridge praised Taylor’s influence on their children and expressed his gratitude for her strength and passion. Their conversation turned playful as Ridge pointed out they had the house to themselves.
At Steffy’s, she and her ally, Daphne Rose, discussed their strategy to take back Forrester Creations. Confident in her ability to charm Carter, Daphne toasted with Steffy, promising to eliminate the “cancer” at the top of the company. Steffy vented about Carter’s loyalty to Hope and declared that their reign wouldn’t last. Daphne assured Steffy she knew exactly how to handle the situation.
Meanwhile, at Forrester Creations, Carter and Hope celebrated the success of their new global branding strategy and securing Daphne Rose’s involvement. Brooke joined them, lamenting her failed conversation with Ridge and admitting she had slapped him in frustration. Hope reassured her mother that Ridge had betrayed her by siding with Taylor.
When Brooke asked about the business, Carter and Hope excitedly shared their plans to collaborate with Daphne. Carter called Daphne to set up another meeting, and she effortlessly charmed him, reporting back to Steffy that everything was proceeding as planned.
Later, Hope comforted Brooke, who expressed frustration over Ridge’s loyalty to Taylor and his dismissal of her as “just another Logan.” Hope reminded her mother that Ridge’s choices had hurt her, not the other way around, and encouraged her to focus on leading Forrester into a brighter future.
