heights. Steffy’s actions continue to backfire, and her control over Forester Creations is challenged. In today’s episode,

Carter and Hope take a significant step toward executing a corporate takeover of the fashion empire.

Hope, determined to shift the company’s direction, encourages Carter to take charge, and Carter, after much hesitation, decides to move forward with the plan. This pivotal moment occurs when he drops a pen at Hope’s cabin, then signs an LLC document giving him the power to lead Forester Creations. Hope reassures him that his actions will bring significant change and confirms his new role as the LLC’s manager. She believes that Carter is the ideal leader to take Forester into a new era. Once the signatures of Steffy and Ridge Forrester are obtained, Carter will have full control, effectively ending the current leadership dynamic.

However, Steffy is not willing to let go without a fight. She and Eric Forrester are seen discussing a press release regarding the termination of Hope’s line, Hope for the Future. Steffy is determined to push forward with her vision, but Ridge, always the mediator, insists they take their time and wait before making final decisions. Meanwhile, Carter and Hope’s alliance grows stronger. Hope believes that Carter’s leadership will allow them to take the company in a direction that has long been needed but resisted. As they reflect on their past experiences at Forester, both feel underappreciated and seek to correct the dysfunction at the company.

The episode continues with the emotional complexities between the characters. Steffy is dealing with her suspicions regarding Hope’s intentions with Finn, and Eric shares concerns about the family’s legacy at Forester. Hope, still reeling from her dismissal, is steadfast in her belief that Forester needs new leadership, and she uses her influence to encourage Carter to push for the takeover. In a tense moment, Carter expresses his reluctance, acknowledging the risk involved in taking control of the family business, but Hope assures him that it’s the only way forward. Together, they agree that a new era for Forester must begin.

Elsewhere, Ridge questions Finn’s involvement in the drama surrounding Hope and Steffy, as the Forrester family is torn apart by conflicting loyalties and ambitions. Finn, caught in the middle, struggles to support Steffy while acknowledging Hope’s pain. Meanwhile, Steffy’s professional actions are fueled by personal vendettas, and her relentless pursuit of control at Forester is causing irreparable damage to her relationships, both at work and at home.

As the conflict escalates, the underlying theme of loyalty comes to the forefront. Ridge, feeling the pressure of balancing family and business interests, tries to remain neutral but is increasingly worried about the impact of the ongoing feud. Steffy and Hope’s rivalry has grown so intense that even their mothers, Brooke Logan and Taylor Hayes, are forced to choose sides. The tension is palpable, as employees at Forester Creations are also drawn into the drama, dividing the workforce and making it difficult for the company to function effectively.

Carter and Hope’s plan seems to be a final attempt to seize control and restore balance. Their move is risky, but they believe it’s the only way to ensure that the company remains strong and respected. As the episode concludes, they share a passionate kiss, signaling their readiness to move forward and make a bold decision that will change everything at Forester Creations.

This episode sets the stage for even more explosive confrontations, with Steffy refusing to back down and Carter and Hope determined to take over. The battle for control of Forester is far from over, and as personal and professional rivalries collide, the future of the company—and the Forrester family—hangs in the balance.
