A highly anticipated therapy session has turned into a crime scene, plunging the Forrester family into utter panic. Just as Deacon Sharpe arrived at the office seeking help from Taylor Hayes, he found her workspace ransacked, with files and belongings scattered everywhere. Taylor had vanished without a trace, and the only thing left behind was a chilling clue.

THE SKETCH OF DEATH

Amidst the chaos, Deacon discovered a sketchpad open on the desk. On the page was a crude, unfinished drawing that sent shivers down his spine: it was a pair of eyes. Not just any eyes, but the eyes he had stared into with fear, passion, and panic: the eyes of Sheila Carter. Deacon immediately realized Taylor had tried to leave a final warning.

When Ridge Forrester stormed onto the scene, his outrage escalated into fury. Seeing Deacon in the middle of the trashed office with Sheila’s drawing, Ridge instantly accused him of being an accomplice: “If Sheila is behind Taylor’s disappearance, then Deacon, you are guilty!”. Deacon helplessly wondered if he himself had brought Sheila too close, giving her too much access.

THE HUNT FOR THE MYSTERY WOMAN

The building’s security camera footage later revealed a terrifying figure. About an hour before Deacon arrived, the tape showed Taylor entering, followed closely by a woman in a wide-brimmed hat, large sunglasses, and dark clothes.

When the footage was zoomed in, everyone recognized a familiar silhouette: the walk, the jawline, everything pointed alarmingly to Stephie Forrester. But Stephie was supposed to be in Europe! Finn immediately checked the records, and the truth became even more disturbing: Stephie hadn’t been seen in over a week, yet messages were still being sent from her phone. Now, both Taylor and Stephie are missing, or one is being impersonated by the other.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO TAYLOR’S MIND?

The full, horrifying truth gradually came to light. Experts discovered Taylor was not just kidnapped but also medically subdued with powerful, hospital-grade sedatives. The goal was to erase her memories and identity. In a secret apartment, Ridge and Finn found marked photos of Taylor with chilling words scrawled across them: “Erase. Rebuild. Purify.”.

The final confirmation arrived when an envelope was delivered to Forrester Creations. Inside was the completed sketch of Sheila’s eyes, with a message written in red ink: “She never should have drawn me”. Taylor is being brainwashed, forced to believe in Sheila’s innocence.

Taylor Hayes is the battlefield for a brutal psychological war. Unless she is found quickly, her memories, her family, and even her identity will be permanently rewritten by the culprit
