What began as a spark of creative difference soon explodes into an all-out war at Forrester Creations, as Brooke Logan and Taylor Hayes face off in a fierce battle for power, respect, and legacy. Once allies united in a promise to rise above their rivalry over Ridge, the fragile truce between the two women shatters when Brooke proposes a new fashion show. Her confidence is swiftly undermined by Taylor, who offers a more progressive vision centered on empowerment and independence — a direct contrast to Brooke’s glitzy, traditional aesthetic. The division is stark, and when Ridge throws his subtle support behind Taylor, it becomes clear that the battleground has expanded beyond fashion into personal territory.
The situation escalates publicly when Steffy, echoing her mother’s ideals, sides with Taylor. Brooke, furious and humiliated, accuses the others of rewriting history and minimizing her foundational role in the company’s rise. Her emotional outburst turns a professional disagreement into a deeply personal confrontation. A storm brews within Forrester as employees are forced to take sides. Donna pulls Eric in, while Carter, Zendé, R.J., and even Hope are pulled into the crossfire. Hope, in particular, is caught in an emotional tug-of-war between her loyalty to her mother and her discomfort with Brooke’s obsessive desire to control everything.
The friction reaches a peak when Taylor formally proposes Brooke’s removal from the fashion project, citing the need for a more modern direction. Ridge remains conspicuously silent — a silence more damning than words. Feeling cornered, Brooke goes rogue, organizing her own unsanctioned show: “Logan Legacy,” a star-studded spectacle fueled by her outside contacts and celebrity appeal. Taylor counters with “Empowerment by Hayes,” a deeply emotional event spotlighting real women overcoming trauma, illness, and loss.
The fashion face-off becomes a media frenzy. Logan Legacy dazzles with flash and glamour, but Ridge leaves without a word. A week later, Empowerment by Hayes resonates with heart and humanity, moving Ridge to tears — a silent but significant shift in his emotional compass.
Just as the dust begins to settle, Donna discovers something unsettling: a key design from Taylor’s show mirrors an old Brooke sketch. Accusations of plagiarism ignite, and suspicions turn inward. Steffy uncovers past internal files possibly leaked during Brooke’s absence. Hope begins to wonder if Thomas — long believed to be reformed — might be the hidden hand causing chaos.
Before investigations can uncover the truth, an anonymous letter arrives. It is chilling and cryptic, accusing both women of building Forrester on deceit. The signature: “E.V.” stamped in blood-red ink. Most dismiss it as a mind game, until a series of cyberattacks confirm a malicious, coordinated assault on Forrester’s infrastructure.
Then the past returns with a name: Eve — once a bright young intern, discarded and forgotten by both Brooke and Taylor. Now, after decades of silence, she resurfaces, armed with 15% of company shares, a team of hackers, and a tech-driven plan to reinvent Forrester from the ground up. She demands the ultimate sacrifice: Brooke and Taylor must both resign, or she will take over completely. With Ridge and the board shaken, and trust between the once-“sisters” all but broken, the future of Forrester Creations hangs by a thread — and the final battle is only beginning.
