appearance at Forrester Creations, catching Steffy off guard and setting the stage

for a heated confrontation. As always, Steffy’s sharp instincts are on high alert

and she immediately senses that Ivy’s visit is more than just a friendly catch-up. The situation quickly spirals into a dramatic face-off between business ambitions and personal grudges, leaving the fate of a new jewelry line hanging in the balance. Ivy’s Unannounced Arrival Raises Red Flags Ivy’s entrance at Forrester Creations is far from subtle—much like a marching band invading a quiet library. It’s no wonder Steffy raises an eyebrow as Ivy walks in, her radar instantly signaling trouble. For Steffy, nothing about Ivy’s return feels coincidental. She’s already bracing herself for drama, questioning whether Ivy’s visit is driven by ulterior motives or an attempt to stir the pot. However, Ivy soon reveals that she’s not just in town for small talk or nostalgia.

She has been working on an exciting new jewelry line with her niece, Electra, and they believe their designs could be the next big thing for the Forrester brand. Unfortunately, Steffy isn’t impressed. To her, the pitch feels like a distraction—more sparkly accessories when the company already has bigger issues to tackle. Even before Ivy can finish her presentation, Steffy’s skepticism is evident as she mentally checks out, thinking, “Great, more jewelry… Just what we need to solve our problems.” Carter’s Bombshell Changes the Game Just as Steffy gears up to dismiss Ivy’s pitch altogether, Carter steps in with a shocking revelation. He admits that he was the one who invited Ivy and Electra to showcase their new line. Carter sees immense potential in their designs, believing the collection could inject fresh energy into Forrester Creations and help elevate the brand’s profile.

However, Carter’s enthusiasm only adds fuel to Steffy’s frustration. Steffy has already been at odds with him over his previous push to allocate more resources toward Hope for the Future, a move that rubbed her the wrong way. Now, hearing that Carter has backed yet another initiative without her full support leaves her seething. She makes it clear—without saying a word—that she is far from thrilled by his latest idea. Adding to the tension is the memory of Quinn’s departure, which left a noticeable gap in the company’s design efforts. Carter believes a new jewelry line could fill that void, but Steffy isn’t buying it. To her, this feels like another misguided project that will waste time and resources instead of addressing the company’s real issues. A Determined Ivy Refuses to Back Down Despite Steffy’s mounting skepticism, Ivy and Electra aren’t ready to give up.

They didn’t fly all the way from Australia just to be turned away without a fair chance. Even Steffy knows it would be foolish to dismiss the collection without at least taking a look at their designs. However, her mind is already made up—she’s convinced that the jewelry line is destined to flop. While Carter remains hopeful, believing this collection could be the breath of fresh air the company needs, Steffy is unwilling to entertain that possibility. Her attitude makes it clear: if Carter tries to link this project to Hope for the Future in any way, she’ll be ready to explode. Steffy’s Blunt Rejection Hits Hard When Ivy and Electra finally showcase their designs, Steffy’s reaction is swift and brutal. Without mincing words, she declares that the collection doesn’t meet her standards. Her blunt dismissal—essentially a polite way of saying “Thanks, but no thanks”—hits Carter like a ton of bricks.

His pale expression says it all. Once again, his attempt to innovate has been squashed by Steffy’s uncompromising stance. But Ivy isn’t one to back down easily. Furious over the rejection, she makes a beeline for Eric, determined to plead her case. She believes that Steffy’s decision is clouded by personal grudges and past conflicts, preventing the company from embracing positive change. Ivy’s frustration is palpable—she knows that Steffy enjoys asserting her authority, even if it means stifling progress. TheBattle for the Future of Forrester Creations Ivy’s move to involve Eric raises an important question: Will Eric and Ridge step in to overrule Steffy’s decision? Ivy argues that the company needs fresh ideas to move forward, and rejecting the new jewelry line out of personal bias could be a costly mistake. However, with Steffy firmly holding the reins, convincing the Forrester leadership to back the collection won’t be easy.

Steffy’s history with Hope for the Future has already created friction within the company, and Ivy sees this as another example of Steffy prioritizing control over innovation. As the tension escalates, the question remains: Will Eric and Ridge draw the line and push for change, or will they allow Steffy’s skepticism to dictate the company’s direction? What’s Next for Ivy, Carter, and Forrester Creations? The confrontation between Ivy and Steffy is far from over. With Ivy determined to fight for her jewelry line and Carter still believing in its potential, the drama is just getting started. Whether or not the collection sees the light of day will depend on how the company’s leadership navigates this power struggle. Fans will have to stay tuned to find out if Eric and Ridge intervene—or if Steffy’s word remains final. One thing is certain: The battle for control at Forrester Creations is heating up, and the outcome could have lasting repercussions for everyone involved.
