the company’s structure. His ultimate goal? To ascend to the position of

CEO—a role he believes he deserves. While Ridge and Steffy remain oblivious to his scheming, Carter works behind the scenes to upend the legacy of the Forrester family.

Hope Logan enters the picture, complicating matters further. Surprising everyone, she subtly supports Carter’s ambitions, believing his vision might benefit the company. However, her stance pits her against her mother, Brooke Logan, who immediately recognizes the danger Carter poses. Brooke, with her history of loyalty to the Forrester family, cannot stand by as Carter manipulates those she loves.

In a bold move, Brooke exposes Carter’s plan to Ridge and Eric, knowing that their influence is the key to removing him from Forrester Creations. Her revelations strike a devastating blow to Carter’s aspirations, costing him not only his job but also his reputation. Brooke’s determination to protect the family ignites Carter’s rage, setting the stage for a confrontation that no one could have predicted.

Fueled by despair and anger after his plans unravel, Carter confronts Brooke in a heated exchange. Brooke’s unrelenting criticism and defense of the Forrester legacy only further infuriate Carter. Overcome by emotion, he does the unthinkable—pulling a knife, Carter lashes out in a fit of uncontrollable rage. In a horrifying and tragic scene, Brooke is brutally stabbed and dies on the spot, leaving viewers stunned.

Carter’s shocking act marks his descent from an ambitious schemer to a cold-blooded killer. Fleeing the scene, he realizes his life is irreparably shattered. No longer just a disgraced employee, he becomes a fugitive, hunted by the law and despised by the Forrester family.

Hope discovers her mother’s lifeless body in a chilling moment of grief and disbelief. Overwhelmed by the brutality of Brooke’s death and the betrayal by someone she once trusted, Hope must decide how to confront the grim reality. Will she seek justice for her mother by rallying Ridge, Eric, and the family, or will she take matters into her own hands?

Brooke’s death sends shockwaves through the Forrester family, sparking an unprecedented chain of conflicts. Ridge, heartbroken and furious, vows to ensure Carter faces justice. Meanwhile, Carter, on the run, wrestles with his own guilt and fractured psyche. Will he return to confront his actions, or will he continue down a path of destruction, evading responsibility?

This tragic event reshapes the dynamics of *The Bold and the Beautiful*, as the Forrester family grapples with loss, betrayal, and the fallout of Carter’s ambition gone wrong.
