At Forrester Creations, the fashion show preparations are underway, and the building is buzzing with excitement. In the design office, Ridge paced over his sketches and the gowns around him, then walked into the dressing room where the models were getting last-minute fittings — just like he did in the very first episode of The Bold and the Beautiful. Katie gave a motivational speech, then Ridge and Eric hugged. After Ridge took a model away to do some perfections to her dress, Eric and Brooke mused that they had a surprise for Ridge, and he had no idea about it.

Charlie, Zende, Carter, and Daphne noted that the automatic lock on a dressing room was jammed and needed fixing. Charlie had a key for it on his ring, and opened it up.

At the front of the house, Steffy greeted Christine Williams from Genoa City. She went backstage to say hi to Ridge and Eric as Katie joined Steffy. Katie noted that Maya was sick and couldn’t attend, and that she spotted Taylor’s name added to the list. Steffy thought it was only natural that her mom would be there now that her parents were back together. Katie made a noise that sounded like she knew something Steffy didn’t. Taylor arrived and rushed backstage to say hello to Ridge.

Steffy welcomes Heidi and Spencer Pratt, who were looking forward to the show. Markell Washington also arrived, and Will noted to Electra that it was like a who’s-who of influencers in the room.

Backstage, Christine reunited with Eric and Ridge and wished them well on the show. Taylor came in as Christine went out to find her seat. When Eric and Brooke spotted Taylor walk in and embrace Ridge, they grimaced, but Eric made Brooke smile when he reminded her that Ridge was going to love their surprise.

Daphne was full of compliments for Carter, reminding him that she was impressed that he had returned the company to the Forresters and gotten back into their good graces. A glaring Katie spotted Daphne put her hand on Carter’s shoulder as she spoke. Daphne again hinted that it was over between him and Hope, and Carter belonged with her.

Backstage, Eric made a speech to the team. Ridge followed up that Eric was the best team leader in the industry, and credited Carter for being successful with his luxury expansions in their absence. He also complimented Steffy and “Logan,” prompting Taylor to ask him later to quit using her pet name, and he agreed. Brooke approached Taylor when Ridge walked away and reminded Taylor that she was a world-renowned psychiatrist and didn’t belong at a fashion show. Brooke suggested that Ridge would be better off if Taylor would let Ridge concentrate on the show, and told her she wasn’t part of the Forrester family.

On the runway, Ridge made an introduction to the audience, and the show began. When he returned backstage, Carter thanked him for what he’d said about him at the preshow team meeting. Ridge assured him his words were genuine, and Carter beamed.

In the dressing room, Katie and Donna fussed over Brooke getting her hair and makeup done. Donna was pleased that Eric had thought of the idea to have Brooke be the surprise model wearing Ridge’s showstopper in the show. Katie and Donna mused that Taylor deserved a comeuppance for flaunting her relationship with Ridge. Eric walked in and overheard, noting that it wasn’t about hurting Taylor. He claimed to love and respect her, but said that Brooke was the love of Eric’s life. “You're his Logan,” he added to Brooke.

Brooke was about ready to leave the dressing room and go put on the showstopper dress when Taylor burst in and confronted Brooke about her audacity, telling her to leave. Brooke maintained that Taylor was just in the way and causing mishaps just by being backstage. Taylor ripped into her and slammed the door behind her. They heard the automatic lock activate, and Brooke lost it. Yelling at Taylor, “What have you done?” she tried to bang on the door for help but the fashion show music was too loud for anyone to hear. Taylor didn’t know that Brooke had plotted to be the showstopper and didn’t understand her reaction.
