Katie and Brooke’s Clash Turns Physical — and Wyatt Stuns Liam Speechless
Katie arrives at Forrester and tells Brooke she got her text. Brooke thinks she knows why she’s there… it’s about everything she’s doing to tear their family apart. At Brooke’s house, Steffy asks Hope why she’s taking a leave from Forrester. At Logan, Wyatt questions Liam about his swollen eye and learns he fell in the gym shower. He asks how he feels about everything going on at Spencer. Liam tells him it’s really good… Will joined them today! At the beach house, Electra greets Will with a kiss and a, “Welcome home.”
She has drinks on ice to surprise him and they canoodle. Will announces he already found a new job and will be working with his family. Electra pouts about how much she’ll miss her “sexy boyfriend.” He will miss her too.
Will is psyched to help support his mom, but admits he was always worried about taking orders from his dad. He’s protective of Katie and he’s determined to help her make Logan a success.
Brothers
At Logan, Wyatt marvels at Will getting fired from Forrester. He loved it there. Liam brushes that off to point out that everyone is psyched that he’s there. As Wyatt asks questions about Logan’s future, Liam talks it up and is disappointed that his brother doesn’t seem more excited.
Footnote
At Brooke’s place, Hope tells Steffy there was no reason to stay. Why does she care? It’s not like she’s going to miss her. Hope tries getting rid of the Forrester, but Steffy has more questions. She reminds Hope that the pause on her line was just temporary. They need to focus on couture to teach Katie and Logan a lesson!
Hope keeps mum as Steffy recaps the Eric debacle at Logan. Steffy thinks it’s only a matter of time before Logan becomes a footnote in fashion history. Hope arches an eyebrow as though taking that as a challenge.
Battle Lines
At Forrester, Katie fumes over canceling an important meeting to listen to Brooke accuse her of destroying the family. Brooke insists she really cares about Katie. How is she going to replace Eric? “Do you have any plan at all?” Katie tells her she plans to make Logan the top fashion house in Los Angeles. Brooke, amused, ask who she’ll get to lead her next line. “Or, is this the end for Logan?”
Brooke wonders if Katie is trying to hide something from her. She’s changed and there’s something different about her. Carrying on, Brooke chirps that Katie has always been jealous of her and her accomplishments. Katie says she did when she was young, but now she sees all of the despicable things she’s done. Brooke sighs dramatically. It’s always been the Logan sisters. Lashing out is not the answer. “I’m just afraid that this will go badly for you.”
Yelling, Brooke and Katie rehash Logan using Eric’s designs as their first collection. Katie fumes that if Eric is so crushed, he needs to tell her to her face! Brooke insists she humiliated him and tells her sister to stay off her turf. “Don’t you dare pull another stunt like you did last time, stealing Eric from us. Just leave Forrester Creations alone.” Oh, if she only knew!
The Final Scenes
At Logan, Liam coaxes Wyatt to get on board. Wyatt’s reluctant to work for their father again. He’s been calling his own shots. Liam insists it’s a kinder, gentler Spencer. Wyatt squints at him skeptically. Liam vows that when Hope steps out on the runway, jaws will drop. Especially if he comes through with the Hope For the Future diamond. Suddenly, Wyatt pulls it out of his pocket. Liam exhales in delight.
At Brooke’s place, Steffy lectures that buyers want a proven commodity. She’s sure Logan can’t provide that. They’ll be gone. “I don’t see any hope for them at all.” Nice play on words!
At Forrester, Katie tells Brooke she can’t give her orders anymore. Brooke is warning her. She, the Forresters, and Hope are all united. It’s only a matter of time before her daughter’s line is up and running again. Katie muses that it’s been a while. She accuses Brooke of putting Ridge before Hope time and again.
Katie rants that Ridge has nothing but contempt for Hope and she allows it. Why? Because she represents a betrayal of her other daughter; she was her dirty little mistake. Brooke hauls off and slaps her across the face, intoning, “How dare you claim that I was a bad mother! That I don’t love my daughter!” Katie grits, “Don’t you ever put your hands on me again.” She vows to do everything in her power to make sure Logan succeeds. Brooke hopes that she does! Katie says, “That’s all I need, Brooke. Is a little hope. You’re going to see. You’re going to know soon enough.” Woo, battle lines drawn indeed!
