The June 22, 2026 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful featured Hope moving one step closer to Logan's highly anticipated fashion launch while Brooke remained convinced that her daughter's future still belonged at Forrester. Elsewhere, Bill continued plotting against the Forresters with Wyatt's help, and Donna found herself trapped between loyalty to her husband and loyalty to her sister.

Katie did her best to encourage Hope that she was making the right decision by venturing out on her own. She was proud of her niece for having the courage to blaze her own trail. While all of those things were probably true, Katie also needed Hope to stay on, or Logan would become a global embarrassment.

Katie touted how much Hope was loved in the industry and how she was an inspiration to girls all around the world. She also reminded her that Steffy could take away her line just as easily as she agreed to bring it back. Forrester had sidelined Hope so many times that their word meant very little. They've proven time and time again that Hope was expendable.

Donna's Secret Becomes a Burden

Donna and Brooke were excited for Eric and Ridge to bask in the accomplishment of the new couture line. Brooke was adamant that there was no way Logan could compete with anything Forrester had in the pipeline. She believed they would need a miracle to pull off anything remotely close to the level of success Eric's collection was expected to have.

Brooke completely caught Donna off guard when she revealed that Hope for the Future was coming back. Naturally, Donna was well aware that Hope had already signed with Logan, so she was once again stuck in an impossible position. Donna was forced to lie to her sister and withhold a secret that would inevitably crush her.

Donna pointed out that Hope felt overlooked and pushed aside. She had numerous valid reasons for taking her leave of absence, and nothing Steffy suddenly said was going to change that. However, Brooke didn't see it that way because, as usual, she was oblivious to anyone's feelings aside from her own. She didn't see it with Katie, so why would it be any different with her own daughter?

Brooke truly believed that Katie stepping out of her shadow was an elaborate attempt to get revenge on her. She accused Katie of stealing her name, Eric, and now her company. Brooke made it sound as though Katie was obsessed with her. How will she react when she learns that Hope is the latest thing Katie acquired for Logan?

Logan's Secret Weapon

Bill was elated that Wyatt procured the Hope for the Future diamond. This precious jewel was going to give Logan an advantage over Forrester, and it could be the very thing that sets them apart. Liam wanted to make sure it wasn't the replica, but Wyatt confirmed that it was the real deal.

Bill pleaded with his son to hand over the diamond, and Shauna agreed. However, Shauna would do or say anything to ensure she landed a job as Logan's jewelry designer. Wyatt didn't want to dive into the details surrounding how he got the diamond. Bill felt the secrecy was unnecessary, but he was willing to play along.

All Bill wanted was to crush Forrester into the ground. After the way everyone at the company, especially Brooke, treated Katie, he wanted to see them brought down a peg. Bill has become Katie's fiercest defender, and the precious Hope for the Future diamond could be the key to making sure nobody is talking about Eric or his couture line.

Electra Searches for Her Signature Moment

Dylan worried that she was getting in the way of Electra as they prepared the jewelry line. However, that wasn't the case. Electra was simply nervous that her first collection without Ivy would somehow be a flop. She brought up the Hope for the Future diamond and admitted she wished she had a signature piece capable of generating that kind of buzz.

This is the biggest moment of Electra's career, but she continues to doubt herself as a designer. She fears that if not for Eric and his talent carrying the collection, people wouldn't be nearly as interested in her work. Dylan tried to reassure Electra that her talent was enough, but Electra felt like her collection was missing something. She needed a centerpiece to bring everything together, something like the Hope for the Future diamond.

Do you think Hope is making the right choice by sticking with Logan, or will she eventually regret walking away from Forrester? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
