In a dramatic twist on The Bold and the Beautiful, Hope is determined to push forward with a bold plan

to oust Steffy and Ridge from Forrester Creations, despite the heavy consequences it may bring. She’s

pressuring Carter to finalize the paperwork and seal the deal, but Carter hesitates. Deeply conflicted, he

feels torn between loyalty to his best friend, Ridge, and his commitment to Hope. Carter doesn’t want to betray Ridge, especially in such a way that could shatter their friendship. Sensing his hesitation, Hope reassures him that they have no other option—this is the only path forward for both of them, and completing the paperwork is the final step to solidify their new future.

Unbeknownst to them, Brooke has overheard their secret conversation. Horrified by what she’s learned, she realizes this scheme could seriously impact her own relationship with Ridge if he ever finds out about it. Brooke is now faced with a difficult decision: Should she keep this terrible secret from Ridge, risking her honesty and integrity, or betray her daughter by exposing her plan? Before making a choice, she confronts Hope, begging her to stop this destructive scheme. Brooke is certain that, with enough persuasion, she can make Hope see reason and reconsider her actions. However, Hope remains resolute and dismisses her mother’s concerns, leaving Brooke devastated.

Unwilling to give up, Brooke warns Hope of the severe repercussions she’ll face if the Forresters decide to retaliate. But Hope is undeterred, focused solely on her goal of taking revenge on Steffy and gaining control. In fact, she becomes even more defiant, demanding that Brooke stay silent and let her carry out the plan as intended. Watching her daughter become so driven by bitterness and ambition, Brooke feels an overwhelming sadness. She had hoped to guide Hope onto a different path, but it’s clear that Hope won’t be swayed.

Now, Brooke faces an agonizing choice: Will she betray Hope’s trust by telling Ridge about the plan, or will she protect her daughter, risking her relationship with Ridge in the process? This emotional conflict is bound to have ripple effects across the lives of everyone involved, leaving fans eagerly speculating about what Brooke’s next move will be.
