Meanwhile, Eric Forrester is furious over Hope’s firing, considering her family despite the complications. He confronts Steffy, questioning the wisdom of her decision and calling out her motives as personal rather than professional. Steffy stands firm, claiming that Hope’s actions regarding Finn have crossed the line, insisting this decision was necessary. While Eric argues that mixing personal conflicts with business decisions is unethical, Steffy remains unmoved, reminding him that Hope knew the consequences.
Carter eventually finds himself in Steffy’s office, where he voices his disagreement with the decision. To him, dismissing Hope’s line over what he sees as a “misunderstanding” is unjust.
