Brooke thought she had the perfect plan to help Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), Eric (John McCook), and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) during the hostile takeover that Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Hope (Annika Noelle) pulled off.

When Carter and Hope offered the position of CEO — Ridge’s role — to Brooke, she accepted. Carter and Hope were thrilled, as Carter knew he needed someone to run the company day-to-day. Who better than someone who had previously been CEO?

However, Brooke accepted the position and announced to the world on a live social media press release that Eric, Ridge, and Steffy were out indefinitely and that she was the new head of Forrester.

What Brooke forgot to do was tell Ridge, Eric, and Steffy what her plan actually was. After the live announcement, Brooke confided to Zende (Delon de Metz) that she only took the position so she could use it to convince Carter to refile the LLC papers and put the Forresters back in charge. As they say, timing is everything, and Brooke’s about to find that out the hard way.

On Monday, Brooke goes to tell Ridge how her day went and what her hopes are for the future, but she is stunned by his reaction. She keeps trying to explain to him, “I did it for you!” but he does not understand how she did him a favor by betraying him.

After that conversation goes in circles, it takes a hard turn sideways when Taylor shows up at the top of the stairs wearing only one of Ridge’s shirts. Brooke realizes that while she was sharing her master plan with Zende at the office, Ridge was sharing his affections with Taylor in the bedroom. Devastated, Brooke realizes that the past has (once again) become her future.

Meanwhile, back at the office

On The Bold and the Beautiful, Zende was so disappointed in Carter and Hope when they revealed they had stolen the company from his family. Worse, they expected him to be on board with the idea and help them succeed by being their lead designer.

Carter and Hope knew how much Zende was invested in his career and capitalized on his dreams as part of their vision for the takeover to be a success. However, it didn’t go over very well when they told him there was one more secret they thought he should know: They were romantically involved.

Zende was thrilled when Brooke told him that she agreed with everything he felt about the takeover, and she was 100% loyal to his family, too. The Forresters told Zende to be their man on the inside, and he thought he had an ally in Brooke. Now that Brooke knows that Ridge betrayed her with Taylor, will she still be willing to proceed with the plan?

Zende is about to become a major player in the Forrester-Logan feud. Could he be the secret weapon that both families use? On Monday, Zende tells Hope he’s on board to accept her offer to work together again, but Brooke knows where Zende really stands — will that affect Zende’s future at Forrester?
