After a high-stakes fashion show at Forester Creations, tensions between Steffy Forester and Brooke Logan reach new heights. Steffy, determined to protect her family and her mother, Taylor, decides to take matters into her own hands. With Brooke’s growing influence at the company and her undeniable connection with Ridge, Steffy sees red, knowing that Brooke is trying to steal her father away again. Having fought for years to reunite her parents and seeing Ridge and Taylor’s relationship blossom, Steffy is not about to let Brooke ruin it all.

As co-CEO, Steffy makes a bold move and summons Brooke to her office. With a calm but determined tone, Steffy presents Brooke with an offer to oversee the expansion of Forester’s new couture line in Paris. On the surface, it seems like a professional opportunity, but Steffy’s true intentions are crystal clear: she wants to send Brooke away to Europe, away from Ridge. Brooke, not one to back down, immediately understands the underlying motive and refuses the offer, standing her ground and vowing not to be banished from her place in Ridge’s life.

The situation escalates when Steffy presents the proposal to Ridge, framing it as a business necessity. Ridge, caught between his loyalty to his daughter and his undeniable feelings for Brooke, is torn. He knows the offer makes sense from a professional standpoint, but his heart is conflicted. Brooke, sensing her moment of vulnerability, privately urges Ridge not to let Steffy push her away, reminding him of their deep connection and their shared moments in the fashion world.

As the drama unfolds, Ridge faces a heart-wrenching decision: should he side with Steffy to protect his family and his future with Taylor, or will he stand by Brooke, the woman who has always had a place in his heart? The stakes are higher than ever, and Ridge’s choice could have lasting consequences on his relationship with both women and the future of Forester Creations.
