What Happened on B&B
On Monday’s episode, Hope (Annika Noelle) couldn’t concentrate on her conversation with Ridge (Thorsten Kaye). She fired her brother Deke (Harrison Cone) as the lead designer of Hope for the Future, and it left her with extreme guilt.
Ridge talked about Thomas and Zende’s (Delon de Metz) plans for the line. They’ve been working together without consulting Hope. This was sprung onto her.
Then, Hope was pulled into an impromptu meeting with all three men. Zende and Thomas showed her the illustrations they had been working on. Hope asked Thomas if this meant he was returning to Forrester Creations full-time.
He admitted that he would only be working part-time, as he would work remotely. He couldn’t uproot Douglas’s (Henry Joseph Samiri) life in Paris. Nothing that Thomas said made Hope happy because all she could think about was her brother.
Why It’s a Big Deal to Hope
After the meeting, Hope thought some more about Deke’s reaction to his firing. Meanwhile, Thomas walked into the office and told Hope that he had wanted to speak to her alone.
First, he congratulated her on her wedding to Liam (Scott Clifton). Thomas mentioned that Beth (Jordyn Lynn Ariza) must be excited to see her parents back together. He also noticed that she helped officiate the wedding.
He’s aware that they both moved on, and they will keep things professional from now on. But he could tell that Hope had a hard time believing him. Thomas assured her that it would be different this time around.
His sole purpose is to keep the line alive. Thomas is aware that they have a complicated history, but it’s in the past.
What This Means For the Future
Thomas couldn’t stop thinking about the times when they stood at the foot of the runway together. He wants to bring that energy back.
His main purpose, aside from being a dad to Douglas, is to focus on the line and not let Hope down. Hope had an interesting look in her eyes when she talked to Thomas. She seemed to be thinking about the times they had shared together.
Is Hope’s marriage to Liam in danger again? Liam doesn’t like it when Hope has to work with Thomas. He’s the reason they got divorced before.
