Everyone at Forrester was absolutely floored that Hope was on the screen at the Logan fashion show. Not only was Hope wearing the new Logan showstopper dress, but she was proudly showing off the Hope for the Future diamond. This was Hope's moment, and Steffy believed that her longtime rival was relishing it.

Zende was confused by what he was witnessing because they were mere days away from the Hope for the Future relaunch. Donna attempted to make it sound like it wasn't what it seemed, despite being well aware of the reality of the situation.

Brooke took it like a punch to the gut when Katie told the press that Hope was at Logan with her family. This was the new home for Hope and Deke, and these siblings were taking the fashion world by storm.

Steffy thought this was a pattern of behavior for Hope. First was the coup alongside Carter, and now she was willing to blindside everyone, including her own mother, with this announcement. Everyone looked on as Hope gave a speech about her departure from Forrester Creations.

Hope explained to everyone watching that she had evolved beyond the Hope for the Future line. This was the reality of who she was at this stage of her life. She thanked everyone for supporting her journey, and back at Forrester, Brooke struggled to hold back tears. This was the ultimate betrayal, and there was no chance of the Logan family ever being the same again.

Donna Gets Caught

Brooke couldn't comprehend the events unfolding before her eyes. This was too much to process, and all she felt was the sting of betrayal. Eric apologized for being crass, but he considered Hope jumping ship to Logan the worst mistake of her career. Even so, Eric did the same thing only a few months ago, and his career is doing just fine. He's thriving with a new couture line in the pipeline.

Electra droned on about being hurt that Will never mentioned anything about the jewelry line. Beyond that, it was the shock acquisition of the Hope for the Future diamond that left her feeling the most betrayed. It wasn't just Will who was going to find himself in the hot seat, though, as Brooke immediately questioned Donna about her potential knowledge of this.

Donna was forced to come clean about knowing Hope was the planned face of Logan's next collection. Brooke felt betrayed not only by Hope and Katie, but also by Donna. Ridge and Brooke ordered Donna to vacate the CEO's office, and it seemed as if Eric was furious with her as well.

Brooke Declares War

Dottie asked Hope about the significant change to her career, and she, alongside everyone else, wondered how Brooke handled the news. However, Hope left the entire room stunned and revealed that Brooke was unaware of her defection. Katie was asked if Logan was directly competing with Forrester, but Katie was adamant they were charting their own path.

Logan has Hope, Shauna, and soon a fragrance line. This is going to put them in the conversation about becoming the top fashion house in Los Angeles. This company was committed to excellence, and there was nothing and nobody that could stop them. Especially not Brooke, Ridge, and the rest of Forrester Creations.

After the show, the Logan team celebrated their accomplishment, and they were confident about their future success. Deacon was a bit surprised that Hope never clued him in about jumping ship, but he was still supportive. He was far more concerned with how Brooke's nuclear reaction would impact Hope.

Bill and Katie shared a romantic moment, but that didn't last long. Brooke was in the building, and there was no escaping her wrath. Bill offered to handle the intruder, but Katie knew she couldn't hold her off for long. This was a conversation that was long overdue, and now that everything was out on the table, the war was only beginning.

Brooke entered the showroom and demanded to know how her little sister could stab her in the back. She took her daughter from her. She took Hope. Katie reminded Brooke of their handshake agreement, and all that did was antagonize Brooke even further. This was much worse than what Katie did to Eric. Brooke felt like this was the most personal dagger to her heart thus far.

Was Hope right to keep her plans secret, or should she have told Brooke the truth before stepping into the spotlight? And is Katie to blame for the fallout, or was Brooke always destined to react this way? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
