At the Forrester mansion, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Taylor (Rebecca Budig) share a quiet breakfast with Eric (John McCook), who teases them about their relationship. Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) enters, declaring her support for her father’s decision to be with Taylor (Rebecca Budig). Meanwhile, Brooke struggles with Ridge’s commitment to Taylor and confides in Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Hope (Annika Noelle).
Luna (Lisa Yamada), now on secret house arrest, thanked Bill (Don Diamond) for his support. He reminded her no one could know she was living on the property and forbade her from speaking to or seeing anyone who stepped by. Meanwhile, in Li’s (Naomi Matsuda) office, tensions flared between Poppy (Romy Park) and Li over their past, and Li prepares to use Tom Starr’s liver for research.
Later, Steffy announces her return, stating her commitment to the company despite feeling hurt. She then pushed for leadership at Forrester Creations, proposing she be named President. She stresses her dedication to the company’s future — and that they should have a prominent Forrester in the office, hoping to lead it toward success for generations to come.
At Forrester, Steffy urged Hope, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), and Carter to agree to a deal to protect the family’s assets. She expressed willingness to answer to them if it meant preserving the company’s legacy. Meanwhile, Ridge and Eric discussed Steffy’s determination to reclaim the company, though there was uncertainty about trusting her.
At Bill’s place, Luna reflected on her actions, with Bill reminding her that her true father was Tom Starr, whom she murdered. Despite Bill’s harsh words, Luna was determined to prove herself. Meanwhile, Li continued her investigation into Luna’s paternity, preparing to confirm if Tom Starr was really her father.
At the same time, Steffy pushed for a role at Forrester, offering her assistance in revitalizing the company, including a fragrance line. While Carter and Hope were cautious, Steffy convinced them she was willing to work for the company’s future. Ridge and the others discussed her return, and Steffy believed they would accept her back. With her plan in motion, she was determined to reclaim Forrester Creations, vowing to make Hope and Carter pay for their actions.
At the Forrester mansion, Steffy reassured her family that her plan would succeed in reclaiming the company. Despite Ridge’s doubts and Eric’s concerns, Steffy remained confident, believing that Forrester Creations belonged to them and she would get it back. Back at the office, Hope, Brooke, and Carter debated whether to bring Steffy back. Hope questioned her trustworthiness, but Carter felt that they couldn’t stop her return. Li continued her investigation into Luna’s paternity, running DNA tests to determine if Tom Starr was her father.
Steffy was eventually called to Forrester and assured her family that if they were not ready to offer her a deal, they wouldn’t ask to see her. Eric and Ridge trusted her, confident that Steffy could save the company. When Steffy arrived at Forrester, she accepted her role as President. Despite past tensions, Carter welcomed her back, though he warned her not to betray his trust. Steffy was determined to make Forrester successful again, feeling that it was the right decision for both her and the company.
Meanwhile, at Bill’s place, Will (Crew Morrow) continued to ask about Luna, but Bill insisted he had moved on. At the hospital, Li awaited the results of the DNA test. When the timer went off, she checked the results, and her expression fell, hinting that the truth about Luna’s paternity was not what she expected.
At the Forrester mansion, Steffy proudly returned to the company as president, confident in her ability to regain control. She reassured her family that she had convinced Hope, Brooke, and Carter with a well-crafted pitch. At Forrester, Carter and Hope were cautious about Steffy’s return, with Hope especially wary of her motives. However, Carter believed Steffy could help the company grow, and they agreed to proceed with caution.
Meanwhile, Bill had a tense conversation with Will about Luna, with Bill insisting that he had moved on from the situation. At Li’s office, she continued her investigation into Luna’s paternity, running DNA tests to confirm her suspicions. Li revealed her findings to Poppy, confronting her about the truth behind Luna’s parentage. Poppy reluctantly admitted the truth about Luna’s father, but Li had further questions about the complicated family history.
As Steffy continued to implement her plan, she introduced Daphne (Murielle Hilaire), a talented perfumer with a reputation for influencing powerful men. Steffy seemed to be setting the stage for more complex dynamics between Hope, Carter, and herself. Despite Carter’s assurances to Hope about their strong relationship, she remained wary.
In Li’s office, a tense confrontation unfolded between Li and her sister Poppy. Li had recently discovered that Tom Starr was not Luna’s father, and she strongly suspected that Jack (Ted King) was. Li accused Poppy of having an affair with Jack, her own husband, and betraying her in the worst possible way. Li expressed her deep emotional hurt and demanded that Poppy confess the truth, pressuring her to admit that Jack was Luna’s father, even though Poppy remained evasive.
At Forrester, Hope and Steffy had an uncomfortable conversation about Brooke, as Steffy expressed concern about her mother’s well-being after Ridge moved in with Taylor. Meanwhile, Ridge and Eric discussed Steffy’s plan to regain control of the company while Ridge reflected on his complicated relationship with Brooke. Steffy, in a tense exchange with Hope, revealed her bitterness toward Brooke, claiming that Ridge was finally free of her.
At the cliff house, Brooke confronted Taylor, accusing her of exploiting the situation to win Ridge’s heart. Despite Brooke’s hurt, Taylor remained unapologetic and expressed her happiness with Ridge. As Taylor and Ridge grew closer, Brooke grappled with the reality of their relationship, wondering if she had truly lost him for good. In the end, Ridge dismissed Brooke’s attempt to reconnect, signaling the end of their relationship.
