At the center of the storm is a move no one saw coming: Eric Forrester, the legendary patriarch and creative force behind Forrester Creations, has officially aligned himself with

Katie Logan’s brand-new company. In one decisive stroke, Eric has shifted loyalties, stunned the industry, and unknowingly lit the fuse on an emotional explosion that will leave lasting scars.

For Katie, Eric’s decision is nothing short of monumental. His name alone carries unmatched prestige, credibility, and creative authority. His involvement instantly transforms

her fledgling venture into a formidable force—one that commands respect before a single design even hits the runway. This isn’t just support; it’s validation at the highest level. With Eric by her side, Katie’s company is no longer a risky dream—it’s an unstoppable reality.

But while Katie’s future brightens, Brooke Logan’s world begins to collapse.

When Brooke learns the truth—that Eric is working for Katie—the news lands like a carefully aimed blow. Shock gives way to disbelief, then disbelief curdles into rage. To Brooke, this isn’t a simple business decision or a creative collaboration. It feels personal. It feels calculated. And most of all, it feels like a betrayal from someone whose loyalty she believed was unshakeable.

Brooke understands better than anyone what Eric represents. His talent, reputation, and legacy are the gold standard in fashion. By choosing Katie, Eric hasn’t just endorsed a new company—he’s created a powerful rival to Forrester Creations and shattered Brooke’s sense of control over the narrative. Any quiet satisfaction she might have harbored at the thought of Katie struggling vanishes instantly. With Eric involved, failure is no longer an option.

Desperate for answers, Brooke briefly considers confronting Eric directly. But reality hits hard. The once-unbreakable bond between Eric and Ridge is deeply fractured, and Brooke knows it. Eric’s disappointment in his son has been simmering for months, and this move feels like his way of reclaiming independence, purpose, and identity outside the shadow of family conflict. Brooke realizes too late that Eric’s decision is final. The door is closed—and her anger has nowhere left to go.

Except toward Katie.

What begins as simmering resentment quickly escalates into open warfare. Brooke storms in on her sister, accusing Katie of betrayal, manipulation, and sabotage. She insists Katie deliberately lured Eric away, exploiting family fractures to undermine everything Forrester Creations stands for. The words are sharp, cutting, and relentless.

Katie is blindsided. She barely has time to defend herself before Brooke’s fury explodes. Years of unresolved tension—old wounds, quiet resentments, and unspoken rivalries—erupt in a matter of seconds. Voices rise. Emotions spiral out of control. And then, in a moment no one expects, the confrontation turns physical.

Brooke completely loses control.

In a shocking act of rage, she grabs Katie by the hair and strikes her, crossing a line that can never be undone. Time seems to freeze as the weight of what just happened sinks in. This is no longer a verbal argument or a sisterly dispute—it’s a devastating rupture.

Eric rushes in, horrified by the scene unfolding before him. His reaction is immediate and forceful as he pulls Brooke away, stopping the violence before it escalates further. But the damage is already done. For Eric, this moment is a heartbreaking confirmation of just how deeply broken the family has become. The chaos he walks into is not just emotional—it’s symbolic of everything that has gone wrong.

Katie is left shaken, humiliated, and deeply wounded. The physical pain fades quickly compared to the emotional devastation of being attacked by her own sister. She struggles to comprehend how things deteriorated so fast—and whether the relationship she once cherished can ever be repaired.

Brooke, meanwhile, is consumed by a toxic storm of guilt, anger, and fear. She knows she has crossed a line that cannot be erased with apologies or excuses. The realization hits hard: this may be the moment that permanently destroys her bond with Katie. Even worse, Eric’s disappointment cuts deeper than any argument ever could. His silence, his shock, and his withdrawal speak louder than words—and Brooke senses she may have pushed him even further away.

As the dust settles, one truth becomes painfully clear. Eric’s move has done more than ignite a corporate rivalry—it has exposed raw emotional wounds that may never fully heal. The sisters’ bond is hanging by a thread, stretched to its breaking point by jealousy, pride, and years of unresolved conflict.

Meanwhile, Forrester Creations now faces unexpected competition from within its own family circle. Loyalty is splintering. Alliances are shifting. And the ripple effects of this confrontation are only just beginning to spread through Los Angeles.

With Eric firmly standing by Katie and Brooke reeling from the consequences of her actions, the question remains: has Brooke gone too far to ever repair what’s been broken? Or can the Logan sisters find a way back from this devastating clash before everything they love is destroyed?
