Lights, Camera, Meltdown
At Forrester Creations, the fashion show is in full chaotic swing. Models are strutting their stuff, influencers are pretending they’re more important than they are, and Christine from Genoa City even graced the event with her megawatt smile. Backstage, Ivy, Steffy, and Carter are living their best lives hyping each other up about how fabulous everything looks — as if they didn’t know already. Meanwhile, Donna and Katie are buzzing around Eric like bees, letting him know that Brooke is getting glammed up for the showstopper moment everyone’s dying for.
Eric, ever the meddling romantic, is basically plotting world domination — or at least Ridge’s love life — because he’s decided that Ridge and Brooke are endgame whether they like it or not. Donna’s ready to risk it all just to make sure the show (and Brooke’s comeback) goes off without a hitch. The question is: will the show survive the hot mess that’s about to unfold?
Brooke and Taylor Lock Horns — Literally
Elsewhere in the building, Brooke and Taylor are busy starring in their own private episode of "Women Behaving Badly." Turns out, they’re locked in a vault — and not the metaphorical kind where secrets go to die, but an actual, real-life, steel-doored vault. Brooke immediately goes full drama queen, pounding on the door and screaming for help like she’s auditioning for a horror movie.

Taylor, being Taylor, is all, calm down, sweetie, and suggests maybe Brooke has a teensy issue with claustrophobia. Brooke, predictably, is not here for the psychoanalyzing. She’s way too busy dragging Taylor for filth, shrieking that she has absolutely no business being anywhere near Forrester Creations.
Meanwhile, backstage, the show is gliding along. Models sashay in gorgeous gold and green gowns. Zende and Will act like they invented fashion. The audience, blissfully unaware of the vault shenanigans, is getting a whiff of Daphne Rose’s latest scent and breathing it in like it’s Chanel No. 5 on steroids. Everyone’s vibing — except Brooke, who’s still trapped and ready to throw hands.
Taylor Tries, Fails & Fails Again
While Brooke is busy plotting her prison break, Taylor’s trying to have a Very Special Moment about Ridge. She tells Brooke she’s sick of Ridge calling Brooke "his Logan," and honestly, same. Taylor serves up a whole monologue about betrayal and memories and basically says Brooke could fall from the heavens in angel wings and Ridge would still side-eye her. Brooke, queen of self-confidence, just smirks like she’s already got the man wrapped around her little finger — which, spoiler alert, she basically does.
With the showstopper moment approaching faster than Taylor’s patience running out, Brooke gets even more desperate. She pounds on the door like the world is ending. In her mind, it sort of is. Somewhere backstage, Will and Electra realize Brooke is missing, and the panic starts to set in. Nothing like a missing showstopper to ruin your grand finale, right?
Save Brooke at All Costs
Eric’s blood pressure is practically sky-high backstage. The models are doing their thing, the audience is still hyped, but where is Brooke?! Meanwhile, Ridge is out there trying to kill time with a microphone in hand, thanking the audience for coming like it’s open mic night at a sad coffee shop.
Finally, Katie, Electra, and Will track down the source of all the hollering and realize Brooke is locked in the vault. Charlie, bless his heart, shows up like he’s about to call SWAT. He reminds everyone this is a "secure area," but when Katie snaps that her sister is locked inside, he magically produces the key. Thanks, Charlie. Real MVP energy there.

Brooke bursts out of the vault, fueled by pure rage and ambition, and Katie, Donna, and Eric hustle her into the showstopper dress faster than you can say "runway revenge." Eric beams at Brooke like she’s the second coming of couture and all but shoves her onto the stage.
Brooke’s Big Moment
Out on the runway, Ridge is just about to announce that they might have to wrap the show early when BAM — Brooke struts onto the catwalk in a dazzling white gown like she owns the place. Ridge takes one look at her and suddenly it's not 2025 anymore, it’s Portofino all over again. Man is absolutely wrecked by the sight of her. You could practically see his soul leaving his body and floating over to her.
Brooke holds out her hand — because of course she does — and Ridge, like the lovesick fool he’s always been, rushes to grab it. The audience, naturally, eats it up. Behind the curtain, Taylor watches the whole thing go down and looks like she’s aged about ten years in thirty seconds. Poor thing. Maybe next fashion show she can at least get a participation trophy.
