Hope’s SHOUTING MATCH with Brooke! YOU’RE NOT MY MOTHER! Taylor & Steffy DANCE on Brooke’s PAIN!

At Brooke’s house, tensions explode in a fiery confrontation that nearly turns physical. Overcome with emotion, Brooke sits on the sofa, tears glistening in her eyes as she recalls the heart-wrenching moment Ridge chose Taylor over her. Suddenly, the front door swings open, and Hope storms in, slamming it shut behind her.

“How could you do this to me? My own mother!” she screams. Brooke, narrowing her eyes, retorts, “How could I do this to you? You should never have done what you did! I lost the love of my life because of it!”

Hope, fuming, insists that all she ever tried to do was defend their family and do what was right. Brooke, exasperated, shouts back that she never wanted Hope to take over Forrester Creations. Hope argues that she had the company’s best interests at heart and was promoted to CEO for a reason. But Brooke insists, “I did it for Ridge! I took over as CEO to bring the company back to him!”

Meanwhile, at Forrester Creations, Katie updates Donna on the latest chaos. “Steffy fired Hope and shut down her line,” she reveals. Donna, stunned, asks, “But what about Carter?” Katie confirms that he’s staying, but she can only imagine how all of this is affecting Brooke and Hope’s relationship. Donna believes the Logan women will find a way through it. However, Katie remains skeptical. As their mother’s birthday nears, she reflects on how strong she was as a single parent. The Logan women may need that strength now more than ever.

Back at the Cliff House, Steffy and Taylor are reveling in their triumph. Steffy beams as Taylor confirms that Ridge has fully recommitted to her. “Everything is exactly as it should be,” Taylor says, embracing her daughter. The Forresters have reclaimed their legacy, and they celebrate with root beer floats, basking in their victory.

Steffy reflects on how her father finally realized his true place was with Taylor. “Justice has been served,” she declares. “Hope didn’t get what she wanted, and more importantly, Dad and Brooke are done for good.” She toasts to Taylor and Ridge’s future, while Taylor expresses her deep pride in Steffy, likening her to Stephanie Forrester. Steffy acknowledges her grandmother’s wisdom and vows to uphold the family’s legacy.

Meanwhile, at Brooke’s house, the shouting match escalates. Hope confronts her mother about stealing the CEO position and never standing by her side. Brooke insists she did what she thought was right, but Hope accuses her of betraying her own daughter for a man who has abandoned her time and time again. “For once, I just wanted you to pick me!” Hope sobs.

Just then, Katie bursts in, warning Hope not to speak to her mother like that. Hope, still livid, retorts that Katie has no right to interfere. Katie reminds Hope that they are Logan women, bound by strength. But Hope dismisses the notion, bitterly pointing out that her last name is Logan only because Brooke was too ashamed to reveal her real father.

Brooke, her voice shaking, tells Hope that she will not tolerate this disrespect in her own home. “Are you kicking me out, Mom?” Hope demands. When Brooke doesn’t deny it, Hope is crushed. “You’ll probably run to Ridge now, tell him you got rid of me to win him back!” she scoffs.

Katie tries to diffuse the situation, urging them both to stop before they say something they can’t take back. But Hope is too hurt to back down. “You always choose them over me!” she cries. Brooke reminds her that she warned her about the consequences of her actions. “This was your choice, Hope. You made this mess. And you lost!”

Hope, shaking with rage, raises her hand as if to strike her mother, but Katie intervenes just in time. “No! Don’t do this!” she pleads. Hope, overwhelmed with emotion, breaks down in sobs. Brooke pulls her into an embrace, and Hope weeps, “I’m sorry, Mom. I love you. I’ve lost everything.”

As the dust settles, Taylor and Steffy continue their celebration, laughing and dancing in victory. “The battle is finally over,” Steffy declares. “And we won.”
