Hope Has The Most Awkward Day Ever!
Hope and Steffy are engaged in a tension-filled conversation in the Forrester Creations’ main office. Hope can’t believe Steffy really wants to jumpstart Hope For The Future this quickly. Steffy wants to know what’s going on.
Steffy can’t understand Hope’s reluctance as she thought she would be happy HFTF is going back into production. Just then, Brooke walks in and is surprised to hear the good news! Steffy confirms HFTF will start up again the day after couture debuts but only if Hope is willing to end her leave. Brooke says she is certain of her daughter’s return and tells Hope how happy she is for her!
Brooke is relieved as she knew Hope felt like she didn’t belong but now they will be working together on the daily! She thinks her daughter should get home to share the good news with Liam. Hope says she should totally tell Liam sooner rather than later. Before she leaves, Steffy hugs her again (why?) as she is so excited for the buzz Hope’s new line will generate.
Deke’s New Designs Impress The Logan Team on The Bold and the Beautiful
Katie, Bill, Deke and Liam are in the Logan main office continuing to fret about Hope’s meeting with Steffy. Katie thinks it’s possible Steffy deduced something during her trip to the office the day before. Liam is thrown for a loop, and Katie gives the group the rundown. He thinks it doesn’t bode well they’ve heard nothing from her.
Bill stops the chitter chatter and tells them to let the situation play out. Katie gets it but says the truth will come out one way or another which will wreak havoc at Forrester and with their family.
Ridge Makes Dylan Electra’s Assistant
Ridge is in the Forrester showroom when Electra arrives for a meeting. He wants to check in with her, and she says all is good, especially with her and Will back together. Ridge is only interested in work as Ivy left her with a lot of work and responsibility. He thinks she could use some support. Just then, Dylan walks in having also been summoned. Ridge looks up and tells Electra to meet her new assistant.
Electra is thrilled but doesn’t want Daphne to think she’s poaching her assistant. Ridge assures her that he spoke with the perfume maven who completely understands. He says it’s important for the jewelry line to have two people on board as it always has.
Electra and Dylan appreciate Ridge’s believe in them. He says it’s not about success or failure for the company. He wants the jewelry line to celebrate his father’s couture line whilst also showing Katie and Logan just how everything is done.
Sheila Demands Scheduled Family Time in Exchange For Divorcing Deacon on The Bold and the Beautiful
Sheila returns and freaks out Deacon and Taylor. She grits her teeth as it’s unbelievably difficult to see her former beloved with his protective arms wrapped around the woman, she once believed to be her friend. She knows the duo don’t want to talk to her and would prefer she not exist, but she does. Sheila declares she will not be ignored!
Sheila reaches her hand into her bag and Deacon and Taylor clearly think she is pulling out a gun. They are relieved when she pulls out divorce papers. The very papers she knows they are so desperate for her to sign… but has not.
Sheila says she wants to negotiate a few things before she signs on the dotted line. She wants to be Deacon’s friend, but that’s not all. Sheila wants to be a part of her family’s life. She wants to spend time with Finn and hold Hays in her arms. Sheila locks eyes with Taylor and says she expects her to advocate on her behalf.
Previous The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) recap: Sheila Returns!
Later… Taylor asks exactly what Sheila is asking (wasn’t it obvious?). Sheila says she wants supervised visits with Hays in front of Finn. If Taylor wants this divorce to commence, she will make Sheila’s request happen. A shocked Taylor promises to do her best. Sheila says all she wants is two days per month which doesn’t seem a lot to ask (It probably does as Sheila PUT A BULLET in her son).
Brooke thanks Steffy for relaunching Hope For The Future. Steffy says it was always the plan and wishes Hope had trusted her word (really?). Just then, Ridge enters and Brooke fills her in on the HFTF of it all.
The Logan crew are reviewing Deke’s new sketches. Katie is thrilled he took all her notes to heart and made the appropriate changes. Deke wanted to prove he could make Logan’s dreams a reality. Bill asks about the cost, and Deke says it’s all good as long Hope gives her final approval. Just then, a stunned Hope walks in. She begins to babble without context before saying Steffy wants to immediately relaunch Hope For The Future. Further, her mother came in (who Hope called Brooke) and said how happy she was they would be working together on the daily. The mood shifts at Logan and Liam asks the question on everyone’s lips… Is Hope still devoted to Logan and the contract she signed?
