Watch for Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) to start the week feeling even more disconnected from Katie (Heather Tom). The two women are at odds over Katie using the Logan name for her company, Logan Designs, and hiring Forrester Creations employees, including Hope (Annika Noelle) and Zende (Delon de Metz).

Could the secret to a reunion between the two sisters be found in the family's middle sibling, Donna (Jennifer Gareis)? At first, Brooke will turn to a surprising person for help. If that individual can't help Brooke and Katie mend fences, then Brooke will have to find help from someone else.

Later in the week, watch for Donna to hope that her sisters will end their feud. But what was ever accomplished by hoping? Donna may have to take action to get what she wants!

Last week, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) was thisclose to telling Finn (Tanner Novlan) that she was pregnant with Carter's child. Can she deliver that message without revealing that the baby was conceived the old-fashioned way -- by having sex?

This week, watch for Finn to be shocked that Steffy went against his wishes! The good doctor has wanted to reassure Steffy of his love ever since he failed to let her know that Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) had followed him to Monaco. But this might be more than he is willing to do!

Finn's not the only doctor who's going to learn of Steffy's and Carter's baby. Watch for Dr. Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda), Finn's mother, to find out that there's a baby on board. Carter is under the impression that he can fool Finn into believing that Steffy is acting as a surrogate and egg donor. But will two doctors — Finn and Li — discover that Steffy and Carter are lying?

Later in the week, Steffy and Carter are going to rush to the hospital. Are they headed there because Steffy's pregnancy needs medical attention, or are they going to the hospital to alter some records so that Finn and Li don't discover their lies?

Steffy and Carter both want to hang onto their marriages, but will they be able to if Finn and Li figure out that Steffy has been lying?

Do you think that Brooke and Katie will mend fences? Will Li and Finn uncover the truth, exposing Steffy and Carter's lives? Sound off in the comments section!
