What happened on The Bold and the Beautiful

This week's episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful kicked off with the fallout of Electra learning the truth about Ivy stealing the letter to Will. Electra believed that the letter actually making its way to Will would've been the ultimate game changer, and so many moments of unnecessary pain would've been avoided. For instance, Electra and RJ's kiss never would've transpired, and as a result, Will and Dylan's kiss at the beach house would've been scrubbed from existence as well.

Naturally, Electra was furious with Ivy, and her first piece of business after learning the truth was to find Will and tell him everything that happened. Will never knew anything about the letter, and he pleaded with Electra to understand that he never would've blown her off if he had actually read it. He wasn't the type of person who would've behaved like that, and it was entirely Ivy's manipulation of their lives that caused their split and subsequent tension at the office. The next step was to confront Ivy for what she'd done, but unfortunately for Ivy, Ridge and Brooke were present for the showdown.

Brooke and Ridge were appalled that Ivy meddled in the young adults' romantic lives. The future of Will and Electra's relationship should've been up to them, but instead, Ivy took it upon herself to pull strings from behind the scenes to dictate the direction of her niece's life. Ridge promised that he'd handle Ivy and urged the kids to process everything on their own. In that moment, Ivy knew she was done, and she realized that she's more than likely overstayed her welcome at Forrester Creations. With that, Ivy departed the company and Los Angeles, but not before telling Daphne that it was all her fault and warning her that she'd eventually return.

Most of the week focused on the aftermath of the letter reveal, but there were other major moments that gave The Bold and the Beautiful some life. Dylan and RJ went back and forth about her place at Forrester Creations, but despite his best efforts to convince her to walk away from his family company, Dylan stood firm. She deserved a chance to prove herself at Forrester Creations, and she insisted that she was there for the right reasons. RJ ultimately agreed to give Dylan the benefit of the doubt, but he still wanted to send Will packing back to Spencer. Later, she received a call from an anonymous caller who claimed they had unfinished business with her, leaving her terrified.

Speaking of Spencer, Katie's next big fashion show for Logan finally arrived, and much to Brooke, Ridge, and Eric's dismay, it was a smashing success. Eric's designs were breathtaking, quintessentially Eric Forrester. Although he was no longer attached to the brand, Katie and Bill believed that they had the right to showcase them, and they did just that. After the event's success, Brooke showed up at Logan and ripped into her little sister once again for stealing her name and Eric's designs. Katie just wanted Brooke to stop attacking her and finally show up and support her as a sister should.
