Brooke's (Katherine Kelly Lang) thirst for power at Forrester Creations has a ripple effect throughout the entire canvas, leaving everyone on edge. Look for Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) to face an impossible decision: choosing between his wife and his daughter. As Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is blindsided by Brooke's desire to oust her, expect Bill (Don Diamont) and Katie (Heather Tom) to worry about how Brooke's lofty new goal might impact the future of the Logan fashion house.

The forgotten Forrester

Hope's (Annika Noelle) line being shelved yet again has forced her to consider her future and whether or not she sees a place for herself at Forrester Creations. However, this week, she's not the only one frustrated with her place within the company, as even members of the Forrester family are finding themselves fed up with their treatment. Look for Zende (Delon De Metz) to express his disappointment with the Hope For The Future line being placed on ice in favor of Eric's (John McCook) grand return to couture.

Ridge and Steffy are desperate to appease Eric after their forced retirement left him with no choice but to defect to Katie's new fashion house. While Katie may have moved forward with Eric's beautiful designs, he was humiliated by the idea of the founder of Forrester Creations creating collections for a rival company. Now that Eric is back where he belongs alongside his family, all of Zende's hard work is down the drain, and may never see the light of day. This week, he vents to Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), and it may be the precursor to jumping ship with Hope.

Dylan's big opportunity

Miss Dylan (Sydney Bullock) was tormented by a mystery caller that turned out to be her cousin, Remy (Christian Weissman). Although he didn't mean any harm by disguising her voice, that doesn't change the fact that she was left petrified that it was another ghost from her past. Remy has enlisted Dylan to help repair things with Deke (Harrison Cone), but despite the messy nature of her cousin's reemegence in her life, things are finally looking up for her at Forrester Creations.

This week, Daphne (Murielle Hillaire) gives Dylan her biggest opportunity yet since joining the team at Forrester. Like Dylan, Daphne was treated poorly by Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer), so perhaps taking her under her wing is a way of making up for Dylan's early days at the company being marred by conflict. Regardless of the reasons why, working closely alongside Daphne will keep Dylan out of Electra's (Laneya Grace) crosshairs, and she can focus on building her career instead of walking on eggshells.
