What Happened on B&B: Donna Plays Both Sides Without Knowing It
Donna (Jennifer Gareis) proved that she’s two-faced. She visited Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) after her conversation with Katie (Heather Tom). The day prior, Donna showed support for her sister’s new fashion house.
The middle sister shared her concerns about Katie. She was worried about the stress that she would be under. It sounded as if Donna sided with them and agreed that Katie could fail.
Donna told Brooke that she doesn’t want to choose sides. She would much rather have them reach a compromise. However, she didn’t understand that agreeing with them meant she had already sided with Katie.
Brooke claimed that Katie disrespected her by using her name. It’s as if she stole from them. Donna defended Katie, arguing that she still cared about them. Then, she turned it back on herself and said she cared about both of her sisters. She wanted to see them get along again.
Family meant too much to her for her sisters to feud like this. Brooke argued that Katie had taken advantage of what she had built with Ridge. What they don’t know is about Katie’s next power move, which gives her the ultimate control in this fashion fight.
Why It Matters: Katie Needs the Right Person on Her Side
Katie didn’t want a fashion house handed to her. She also wanted it to succeed so that she could prove to herself that she could run a company independently. So, she turned to the right expert.
Eric (John McCook) promised Katie that he would guide her through this. Katie told him that she wanted to step out of Ridge and Brooke’s shadow. She feared that she would end up as a laughingstock.
Eric told her that she could handle this. She’s a smart businesswoman. She just doesn’t have a designer. But not only is Katie concerned about the launch of her fashion house, but she’s also worried about her relationship with Brooke.
She wasn’t trying to betray her sister. Eric believed they would eventually come to an understanding. But he felt the energy, and what would make him happy is to work as her designer. He wanted to design Katie’s debut collection.
The Fallout: Brooke and Katie’s Relationship Ends in Disarray
Eric ended his brief retirement to work for Katie’s fashion house. Ridge will be furious once he finds out. It’s bad enough that Katie already stole the Logan name. Now, she wants his father to work with her, too?
If everything works to Katie’s advantage, she can say goodbye to her relationship with Brooke. These two are unlikely to find peace anytime soon. In fact, Brooke could cause the ultimate betrayal by seducing Katie’s husband once again.
