In the story, Electra (Laneya Grace) has been excitedly looking forward to a trip to San Francisco with her Aunt Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer), but Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) changes their plans at the last minute and decides to go in Ivy's place. Electra puts on a smile, prays her boyfriend doesn't have dinner with his houseguest again, and boards the plane.

When Steffy and Electra get to San Francisco, they meet with Dottie Bright, a socialite and family friend, in the market for some new stunning jewels. Electra is able to provide those jewels, but will their presentation pass muster with Dottie and her assistant, Joseph?

Fans will recognize both Dottie and Joseph, as Morgan Fairchild and Jim J. Bullock play the characters, respectively, according to Michael Fairman TV. Fairchild is returning to the soap as Dottie, an old friend of Stephanie Forrester's (Susan Flannery). The actress last appeared on The Bold and the Beautiful in 2009, while Bullock appeared as wedding planner, Serge, in 2005 and 2009.

Both Fairchild and Bullock will appear on the January 27, 2026, episode, while Spencer Pratt makes his return on the January 28, 2026, episode. Pratt will once again play Rich, who has an encounter with Steffy and Electra.
