Hope’s Guilt Trip & Brooke’s Power Play
Let’s get one thing straight: if you thought the fashion show was the grand finale, think again. The real fireworks are happening after the runway lights went out. This episode of The Bold and the Beautiful is a full episode recap of love triangles, guilt spirals, and some seriously bold moves from the ladies.
So first up, we find ourselves at Casa Brooke, where the queen herself is basking in the post-show glow. She’s fresh off a call about wearing the showstopper, and Hope strolls in giving props where they’re due. Yes, Brooke in that dress? Iconic. Hope, ever the guilt-stricken daughter, admits it stung not to be the star of the show but says it gave her time to reflect. Translation? She’s had a Come-to-Jesus moment about the mess she made with Carter.

Now, Hope might be feeling all philosophical, but don’t think she’s off the hook. Brooke wants the deets: where do things stand with Carter? Hope mutters that it’s “complicated” — which is B&B code for “I blew it, and I know it.” But then she flips the question right back: what’s the deal with you and Ridge, mom?
Oh, Brooke lights up like the Eiffel Tower at midnight. She gushes over the on-stage chemistry and gets all misty-eyed about how Ridge is still her destiny. Honestly, if Ridge got a dollar every time Brooke said “destiny,” he could retire in Monaco. Hope, in a rare moment of self-awareness, says if she and Carter hadn’t pulled their little stunt, things might have turned out differently for Brooke and Ridge. Brooke’s like, “Honey, don’t worry — I always bounce back.”
Ridge & Eric’s Not-So-Silent War: The Battle of the Beaus
Meanwhile, over at Forrester Creations, the testosterone is thick in the air. Ridge and Eric are having yet another heated daddy-son showdown. Ridge is done with Papa Eric playing puppet master with his love life. Eric, not even flinching, claps back with full authority: “You’re not choosing between two women — you’re just too scared to pick the one you’ve always loved.”

And yes, Eric says it loud for the people in the back: Brooke is the one. Ridge tries to play it cool, tossing in a “Taylor’s special too” like he’s comparing wine vintages. But Eric’s not buying it. “She’s not the love of your life,” he snaps. Ouch. He tells Ridge to stop pretending and admit what everyone and their hairstylist already knows — that he belongs with Brooke. And just to twist the knife, he points out Ridge isn’t married or even engaged. That’s right, boys — it’s open season on Logan love.
Katie’s Serving Truth, Daphne’s Serving… Maybe?
Backstage at the fashion circus, Carter’s having a moody flashback about Hope. Enter Zende, ready to stir the pot. He casually mentions Daphne — oh yes, that Daphne — and implies there’s a little something extra going on. Carter gives a hard pass. He’s all in on Hope. Riiiight.

But Zende’s not the only one sniffing out the drama. Katie, who’s never met a confrontation she didn’t like, tracks down Daphne and hits her with a blunt question: “Are you playing Carter?” No sugarcoating, no polite preamble — just straight-up accusations. Daphne’s thrown, but she doesn’t back down. She claims her only crime was helping Steffy and the fam get the company back. Katie’s not buying it. This isn’t about business anymore. It’s about Carter.

| Katie to Daphne: "Are you playing Carter?" | B&B |
Katie, clearly still harboring her own not-so-buried feelings, demands answers. Daphne, now giving Lifetime movie vibes, says something “rare” has happened. Yup. She’s caught the L-word. Love. Katie practically laughs in her face. “You’re in love with Carter? Sure, girl.”
But Daphne doubles down. When she came to L.A., she didn’t mean to fall. But Carter? He’s a “remarkable man.” He knows he messed up with Hope. He’s hurting. And somewhere between corporate espionage and candlelit side-eyes, Daphne claims she caught feelings.
Cue Carter’s dramatic entrance. Daphne quickly flips the script and says they were just talking about how wonderful he is. Please. The timing alone screams soap setup. Katie glares, Daphne simpers, and Carter looks like he just walked into a war zone with no clue who’s on his side. Classic B&B.
Brooke’s Bold Move: Designer & Muse, Round 1,000
And just when you thought the drama hit its peak, Brooke turns it all the way up. She corners Ridge in the main office with all the confidence of a woman who’s stolen spotlights and husbands alike. Ridge is chatting with a buyer, but once that little kiss-on-the-cheek moment wraps, it’s game on.

Brooke’s all like, “People loved the fashion show,” but what she really means is, “People loved us.” Ridge tries to dodge, but Brooke goes full Logan. She presses — everyone wants them back together. The designer and his muse. The original power couple.
She lays it on thick. That magical moment on the runway? Sparks. Fireworks. Flashbacks. Ridge tries to insist it was all for show, but Brooke shuts that down fast. She knows what his dad wants. She knows what the audience wants. And most importantly, she knows what she wants — him.
And then, with all the flair of a seasoned soap seductress, she wraps her arms around him, purrs the words “I am your Logan. Now and always.” Mic. Drop.
