Carter and Hope Refuse to Stay Silent

The next episode of The Bold and the Beautiful sets the stage for fractured alliances and emotional fallout at Forrester Creations. Carter has reached his limit. After multiple attempts to express his concerns, he realizes Steffy and Ridge will never take his reasoning seriously. Hope’s firing, combined with the rejection of Carter’s business proposal, pushes him toward a new resolve.

He and Hope decide their silence ends now. They are done letting the Forresters treat them as afterthoughts. A quiet revenge plan begins to form, and this time, they intend to protect their power and their future.

Their strategy will not explode publicly at first. Instead, they move with intention, prepared to play a longer game that could change the company from the inside.

Ridge Begins to Question Everything

Ridge agreed with Steffy’s decision to remove Hope, but something unsettles him. The firing does not sit right. He keeps replaying the moment Hope fell on Finn, and he wonders if he acted too fast.

In search of clarity, Ridge turns to Finn. He needs to know if there is a detail he missed, something that might change his perspective. Ridge wants an honest account, not speculation, and not emotion. If Finn reveals something new, Ridge may reconsider the punishment that sent Hope out the door.

Carter Makes One Last Push

Before stepping fully into retaliation, Carter gives Steffy and Ridge a final chance. He offers a calm and measured presentation, urging them to reopen Hope’s line and think bigger about the company’s direction. He speaks as someone committed to expanding Forrester Creations, not undermining it.

But Steffy shuts him down. Again. Ridge backs her and reminds Carter that his job is legal, not creative. The dismissal is clear. It is final. And it seals Carter’s decision to move forward with Hope.

Sparks Fly for Will and Electra

Away from boardroom battles and strained alliances, romance takes center stage. Will and Electra’s growing connection reaches a turning point. The tension finally breaks, and the pair share a passionate moment neither of them expected. Their story adds heat to a day already filled with anger, doubt, and strategy.
