When Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) told his partner Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) that Hope (Annika Noelle) and Carter’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) betrayal “broke” him, he hoped that she would wait a moment before justifying what her daughter did. But the fight escalated, and within moments, words were said that couldn’t be taken back.

By the time Ridge told her that he didn’t want to live in the same house as Hope, they both knew that the ultimatum was unavoidable. But they also both knew that Brooke wouldn’t ever turn on her daughter, so Ridge left and was met with welcoming arms by Taylor and Steffy at the cliff house.

A new day at Forrester

While Ridge, Steffy, and Eric (John McCook) let the shock wear off, Carter and Hope are reveling in their newfound power. As the news travels through the company, employees need to pick which side of the line they are on.

No one agrees with how Carter and Hope came to steal the company — but some don’t bother to ask for details. Others need to choose if they can live with the consequences by keeping their positions. And others are supportive of the change.

While career options are being weighed, personal relationships are also being affected. Zende (Delon de Metz) idolizes his grandfather, but was a champion for Carter’s grand ideas and was the lead designer of Hope for the Future — a position Hope offered him to keep as her first order of business.

Katie (Heather Tom) is the Head of Public Relations at Forrester. As someone who was CEO from a hostile takeover of Forrester in the past, she won’t have a problem staying on now. But announcing the change is going to be a delicate matter — or will they go a bold new direction?

Meanwhile, Carter and Hope are continually amazed at one another and the heights they reach together. On top of the world, will they consummate their union and celebrate their power grab the way others have in the past in the privacy of their new office?

On the dark side

Remy is in his own world, determined to keep L.A. from changing Electra and stopping Will from taking her from him.

Now that he’s altered her photos again, Remy sets his plan in motion by repeating his harassment of Electra by releasing disturbing pictures and bringing a new scandal to Forrester.
