At Brooke’s house, she finishes up a phone call about wearing the showstopper as Hope comes in. Hope tells her she’s the talk of the fashion world. The show ended the way it should… with her in the showstopper. Brooke’s sure it was difficult for Hope not to be there. Hope says it’s given her time to do some soul-searching. She’s realized how she and Carter went about things was wrong. Brooke asks where things stand between them. Hope says it’s complicated and counters, “Where do things stand between you and Ridge?” Brooke beams.
They go over the chemistry she and Ridge had on stage. Hope tells her mother she’s sorry. Things might be different for her and Ridge if she and Carter hadn’t done what they did with the coup. Brooke asks her not to blame herself. Hope wants to make it up to her. If she wants to be with Ridge, she wants that for her too. Brooke says he’s her destiny. She knows he knows that. “I’m still his Logan.”

Ridge tells his father he doesn’t get to play God with his life. “You want to tell me who I should live my life with!” Eric fumes, “Because I know!” He tells his son he can’t keep going between two different women. It’s gone on long enough. They both know where it ends. “You with Brooke.” Eric goes on that there’s no one else like Brooke. Ridge says Taylor’s pretty special too. Eric argues, “She’s not the love of your life.” Ridge wants him to stop… he’s committed to someone else. Eric points out he’s not married or engaged. “Go back to Brooke. It’s where you belong.”
Katie’s Accusations
Backstage, Carter thinks about better times with Hope. Zende comes in and tells him he was just deep in conversation with the fragrance expert. “We need to talk.” Carter asks, “Is something going on with her?” Zende doesn’t mean to pry, but he walked in on him and Daphne earlier. Is something going on between them? Carter says there’s nothing going on between them at all. His focus is on Hope. He’s hoping they can work things out and he won’t give up on her. Zende asks if he’s sure… Daphne is beautiful.
By the runway, Katie asks Daphne if she’s using Carter. “Is that what you’ve been doing the whole time?” Daphne wonders if she’s expecting her to apologize for helping her friend get her company back. Katie expects a straight answer. Is she still playing Carter? Daphne knows Katie had a fling with Carter in the past. “So, you still harbor feelings for him.” Katie cares about him a lot, which is why Daphne needs to answer her question. Is she only in L.A. to mess with Carter and her niece? Daphne says there’s no concern; the Forresters have their company back. Katie warns she won’t let her mess with her family.
Daphne insists her intentions are pure. Katie asks if she’s saying there’s a connection between them. Real feelings? Daphne says something has happened to her… something that’s rarely happened to her. “Love.” Katie smirks, “Love.” Daphne says that when she came to L.A., she didn’t know Carter was a remarkable man. She was helping Steffy and her family, but she didn’t realize that Carter was also upset. He knew what he did was wrong. She didn’t expect to fall for him, but she has. Katie mocks, “So, you’re in love with Carter?” Suddenly, Carter appears. Daphne says they were talking about how much they care for him, respect him, and want the best for him.

Brooke Makes Another Play for Ridge
In the main office, Ridge thanks a buyer for coming to the fashion show and assures her they’ll get everything to her as soon as possible. The kiss on the cheek and she goes. Brooke comes in and Ridge tells her there’s a lot of good feedback. Brooke has heard. “It’s not all about the designs.” Ridge agrees. People liked seeing her on the runway. Brooke says, “They liked seeing us.” Ridge grunts, “Brooke…” She interrupts and says the whole fashion industry wants them back together. “I know I want that. Do you want that too?”
Brooke presses Ridge that the whole fashion industry wants the designer and his muse together. She’ll never forget that moment on the stage. She flashes back to the moment they locked eyes. “It was incredible.” Ridge agrees; it was. But it wasn’t real, it was staged. Brooke explains that his father wants them to be together. She reminds him their chemistry is undeniable. The whole world wants them back together. “I know I want that. Do you want that too?” Slinging her arms around his neck, she purrs, “I am your Logan. Now and always.”
