Oh, honey, it’s like Christmas came early.

Hope vs. Brooke: The Ultimate Showdown
Brooke, still clutching her pearls over Ridge’s latest romantic flip-flop, is wallowing on her couch in a dramatic stupor when Hope bursts in like a bat out of hell. “How could you do this to me?!” she shrieks, as if her mother just committed a federal crime. Brooke, ever the drama queen, snaps back with a solid, “How could I do this to YOU?!” and the gloves come off.
Hope, righteous as ever, rants about her mother’s betrayal, and Brooke wastes no time in reminding her that thanks to Hope’s little business coup with Carter, she lost Ridge—the so-called love of her life (for the millionth time). Hope is practically breathing fire at this point, yelling about how she was just trying to protect their family name. Brooke scoffs at the very idea. She never wanted Hope running the show in the first place, and—oh, here’s a shocker—Brooke only took the CEO position for Ridge.
Logan Sisters: Damage Control Mode Activated
Meanwhile, at Forrester, Donna and Katie dissect the carnage. Hope? Fired. Her entire fashion line? Canceled. But somehow, Carter and Brooke are still standing. The Logan sisters mournfully recall their late mother’s strength—because, let’s face it, even she would be shaking her head at this circus. They toast to Logan resilience, but we all know that means exactly nothing when Brooke and Hope are one screaming match away from being a full-on wrestling event.
Taylor and Steffy Celebrate Like It’s New Year’s Eve
Over at the Cliff House, Taylor and Steffy are riding high on Ridge’s latest “decision.” She and Taylor are practically tap dancing at the fact that Ridge finally saw the light (again) and ditched Brooke for Taylor. Root beer floats in hand, they bask in their Forrester superiority, reminiscing about how the Logans have been a thorn in their side for decades.
“Justice has been served,” Steffy declares, reveling in Hope’s downfall. She hopes it’s the end of Hope and Carter’s relationship and, more importantly, the end of Brooke and Ridge.
Taylor, grinning like she won the lottery, tells Steffy she’s the spitting image of Stephanie and that she couldn’t be prouder. The moment is heartwarming—well, if you’re Team Forrester, anyway. They hug, they dance, they toast to victory, while across town, Brooke and Hope are actively trying to destroy each other.
Brooke vs. Hope: Round Two, Fight!
Back at Brooke’s house, things go nuclear. Hope goes off about how Brooke has never been on her side. She wanted her mother to pick her for once, but alas, Brooke is too busy weeping over Ridge to care about Hope’s obliterated career. Brooke attempts some damage control, claiming she loves Hope, but Hope isn’t buying it. “Just not as much as you love Ridge,” she hisses, and at this point, we should all be taking cover.
Enter Katie, in full sister-protection mode, warning Hope to back off. Hope, in classic dramatic fashion, declares that she has lost everything—including her own mother. “Oh, honey, let’s not be overly dramatic,” is what Brooke should have said, but instead, she doubles down. Hope, fed up, throws out the ultimate mic drop: “You only gave me the Logan name because you were too ashamed to give me my father’s.” I mean... kinda true. Hope Sharpe is quite fitting after today's sharp-tongued argument.
Katie practically leaps into action, warning Hope to stop before she says something she’ll regret. But regret is nowhere to be found as Hope continues to rip into her mother. Brooke, with a fresh wave of indignation, finally snaps. She won’t stand for this disrespect in her own home. “Are you kicking me out?” Hope asks, aghast. Brooke doesn’t exactly say no. Katie, once again trying to hold this family together with duct tape and a prayer, tries to intervene, but Hope isn’t done dragging her mother through the mud.

Brooke, in a red-faced rage, reminds Hope of every single mistake she’s ever made—her marriage, her relationship with Thomas, her questionable choices with Douglas, and now, her failed power move with Carter. And then, just when you think things can’t get worse, Brooke drops the hammer: She blames Hope for losing Ridge.
“WHO ARE YOU? YOU ARE NOT MY DAUGHTER!” Brooke bellows. And just like that, the gloves are officially off. Hope, ready to slap her mother into next week, raises a hand—cue Katie jumping in like a referee at a title fight.
Hope, sobbing and broken, collapses into Brooke’s arms. “I’m sorry, Mom. I love you.” And just like that, it’s over. Until the next battle, of course.
