The clock is ticking for Katie (Heather Tom) to make her new company a success. The press and the buyers are waiting for Logan to make a splash, but as of yet, there isn't a collection to launch. On Monday's new episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, expect Bill (Don Diamont) to amp up the pressure on Eric (John McCook) to complete more designs. They need to turn Logan into a smashing success, but they can't do that if Eric keeps taking his time bringing his sketches to life. However, putting that kind of pressure on someone of Eric's age, with his previous health history, could have devastating results.

Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) already hates Bill with every fiber of his being. Imagine the levels of disdain he will feel for him if something happened to Eric because of the high-pressure nature of this new job? Ridge and Bill are primed to go to war, and their wives will be firmly stuck in the middle of the battlefield. Katie and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) have tried to smooth things over a few times now, but it always ends up in animosity. Between the alleged theft of the Logan name and Katie's harbored resentment toward her big sister for sleeping with Bill, it feels impossible to overcome.

A large motivating factor for Eric joining Logan in the first place was to prove a point to Brooke and Ridge. If something goes wrong and Eric ends up sick or in the hospital, it will validate all their concerns. Any message that he was trying to send to his son will be negated, and Ridge will have another moment of being right to feed his enormous ego. As the heart of The Bold and the Beautiful, Katie is far more patient than her husband, and if Bill is putting unnecessary pressure on Eric, she likely has no idea or isn't involved.

The last thing Eric wants is for Ridge to have been right all along. This man, who founded Forrester, feels treated like a forgotten relic of the past and is desperately trying to cling to his legacy. Whether Eric can produce designs for Katie's new company remains to be seen, but once the truth comes out, the war is just beginning. If Brooke and Ridge took using the Logan name as an attack on Forrester, how will they react to Eric jumping ship and designing for the enemy?
