The February 7 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful brings a wave of power struggles, betrayals, and unexpected alliances as tensions rise at Forrester Creations.
The episode kicks off with Brooke stepping into her new role as CEO following the company’s takeover. However, her true intentions remain hidden. She isn’t looking to hold onto power—her goal is to get close enough to Carter and persuade him to return the company to its rightful owners.
But Brooke’s bold move comes at a cost. She announces her decision without consulting Ridge, leaving him feeling blindsided and betrayed. The tension between them reaches a breaking point when their heated argument ends with Brooke slapping Ridge. Furious, Ridge walks out and finds comfort in Taylor’s arms, further widening the rift between him and Brooke.
Meanwhile, Steffy is determined to reclaim her family’s legacy. Her initial plan involved using her friend Daphne Rose to seduce Carter into handing over control. However, Daphne, who shares a deep bond with Carter’s partner, Hope, refuses to go through with the scheme.
Daphne has known Carter long before his ruthless businessman persona took over. She believes that if she can remind him of his moral conscience, he may come to regret his actions.
Ironically, Brooke reaches the same conclusion. She confronts Carter directly, asking him if he has any regrets about what he’s done. Caught off guard, Carter is left wondering whether Brooke has forgotten how she and the others treated her daughter. But her words strike a nerve—deep down, he knows she’s right.
As Carter wrestles with his conscience, Zende begins to put the pieces together. He realizes that both Brooke and Steffy are working toward the same goal—but what he doesn’t understand is why these two, who are usually at odds, are suddenly aligned on this issue.
Beyond the corporate battle, Brooke is also dealing with personal heartbreak. Determined to mend things with Ridge, she reaches out to him over Christmas. But he ignores her text, and when she tries calling, he hangs up.
Will Brooke and Ridge find a way to repair their fractured relationship? And will Carter’s conscience finally push him to make the right decision? Stay tuned to find out!
