Steffy has always been wary of Brooke, but after catching her kissing Ridge, she reaches her breaking point. Now that Forrester Creations is once again under family control, Steffy decides there is no place for Brooke at the company. She storms into a board meeting and demands Brooke’s immediate removal, arguing that her presence is a threat to their family’s unity.

Ridge, taken aback, is torn between his feelings for both Taylor and Brooke. While he has struggled with his emotions, he’s not sure he is ready to let Brooke go for good. Meanwhile, Eric urges Steffy to reconsider, reminding her that Brooke has been an integral part of Forrester Creations for years and forcing her out could create unnecessary division. However, Steffy remains steadfast—she believes Brooke is a manipulative distraction who needs to be permanently cut out of their lives.

Brooke, however, refuses to be sidelined. She stands her ground against Steffy, reminding her that Ridge is capable of making his own choices. The confrontation quickly escalates as neither woman is willing to back down, each determined to prove her point.

Now, Ridge must decide: Will he allow Steffy to force Brooke out of the company, or will he stand up for her and risk alienating his daughter? The decision could lead to deeper family fractures and reshape the power dynamics at Forrester Creations forever. As the drama unfolds, one thing is certain—this battle is far from over.
