Overview
- Ridge refused to hand the co‑CEO role to Brooke, leaving Steffy in charge and undoing Hope’s plan to elevate her mother.
- Forrester has again sidelined the 'Hope for the Future' line, and Hope is crushed by the setback and is considering leaving the company.
- Katie has opened the door at Logan but is now questioning whether offering Hope a job would help her career or serve as revenge against Brooke.
- Zende, who felt undervalued after RJ’s return, has cooled his anger and agreed with RJ to put their differences aside to focus on Forrester’s work.
- The dispute could spark a talent shift and deeper family rifts that change who runs design at Forrester, while viewers should also watch a separate Electra plotline that promises a new secret.
