At Brooke’s place, Ridge vents that Hope is out of control, targeting Thomas, Finn, and now pushing Carter to take over Forrester Creations.

He declares Hope will never set foot in Forrester again. Brooke defends her daughter, urging Ridge to be objective and consider why Hope and Carter felt the need to act.

Ridge, furious, accuses Brooke of siding with them. He demands Hope leave the property, refusing to live under the same roof as her.

Brooke, appalled by his ultimatum, refuses to kick Hope and Beth out of their home. Ridge, feeling betrayed, storms out, declaring he’s leaving instead. Brooke collapses in tears.

At Forrester, Hope and Carter celebrate their takeover of the company, joking about framing the paperwork.

Hope enthuses about reinstating Hope For the Future, promising Electra and Will that their roles won’t be affected.

Electra, uneasy, mentions how strange it feels, especially given Steffy’s kindness to her in the past. Carter insists they acted in the company’s best interest.

Meanwhile, at the cliff house, Steffy tells Taylor about Carter’s coup and Hope’s role in manipulating him.

Both women are dismayed at the new reality and believe Hope is behind everything. Taylor encourages Steffy, reminding her they won’t give up, even if they are temporarily powerless.

In his room, Remy obsessively alters a photo of Electra, recalling when he comforted her after someone edited pictures to make her appear naked.

Now, he’s doing the same, convinced he must “save” her from changing under L.A.’s influence or getting closer to Will. When the altered image loads, he mutters, “Sorry, but I can’t lose you.”

Later, in the Forrester salon, Electra shares her concerns about Remy with Will. She feels guilty for hurting him but hopes he understands her choices.

Will reassures her and jokes she should focus on him instead. Their conversation ends with a kiss.

In the main office, Hope praises Carter for risking everything for them, promising his sacrifice won’t be in vain.

She declares the office is his now, teasing him to redecorate or hang a portrait of himself. Locking the door, Hope smiles, “It’s all yours.”

At the cliff house, Ridge arrives, seeking refuge. Steffy consoles him as he recounts the explosive fight with Brooke.

Ridge reveals he refused to stay on the same property as Hope and left Brooke. Steffy blames the Logans for his pain, calling Hope selfish and Brooke an enabler.

Ridge, heartbroken, accepts Steffy’s invitation to stay, as she and Taylor embrace him in a show of support.
