After the infamous locked dressing room debacle at Forrester Creations, all eyes are on the fallout — and it doesn’t disappoint. What initially seemed like a chaotic mishap evolves into a defining moment for the legacy fashion house, revealing deep fractures not just in the company but in personal alliances. The heart of the chaos? The age-old rivalry between Brooke Logan and Taylor Hayes — and this time, it gets physical.

Eric Forrester, long seen as the quiet patriarch, makes an unexpected move. For years, he’s carefully walked the line between the women who have defined Ridge’s love life. But now? He’s done pretending. To him, the accident at the fashion show — a reckless move by Taylor — was proof enough. Brooke is Ridge’s future. Taylor is his mistake.

And Eric isn’t just vocal about it. He’s strategic. He gives Brooke the green light, emotionally and professionally, to reclaim what she believes is hers.

Brooke, always a master of timing and drama, doesn’t waste the opportunity. She confronts Ridge, gently pushing the idea that Taylor’s continued involvement at Forrester is bad for business. But when Ridge wavers, clearly torn by personal loyalty, Brooke switches tactics.

She finds Taylor backstage — alone, proud, and already on edge. Brooke’s approach is ice-cold. “You don’t belong here,” she says. Taylor fires back, insisting that family and fairness are at the core of Forrester, not Brooke’s ambition. “You can’t erase me,” Taylor snarls. But Brooke doesn’t flinch.

It’s a verbal duel that turns savage fast. Brooke accuses Taylor of ruining the company’s reputation. Taylor accuses Brooke of emotional manipulation and using people as pawns. The exchange escalates until Brooke’s fury boils over and — in a flash of pure rage — she slaps Taylor across the face.

Eric is there. He sees it all. And he does nothing.

In that moment, Taylor realizes she’s been abandoned. The man she once thought of as a protector and friend doesn’t even try to stop Brooke. He stands still, arms crossed, quietly approving of Brooke’s dominance.

It’s the final betrayal. Taylor’s voice cracks as she whispers, “You were never on my side.” And with that, the final piece of her illusion crumbles.

Brooke, unrepentant and victorious, delivers the final blow: “Consider this your eviction notice.”

Taylor walks out — shaken, but not destroyed. She’s been outmaneuvered, publicly humiliated, and cast out. But this isn’t over. Brooke might think she’s won, but Taylor’s rage is simmering — and something has shifted inside her.

This isn’t the end. It’s just the beginning of a new war. The question is: will Taylor fade into the background, or rise with a vengeance no one expects?

Stay tuned. In the world of The Bold and the Beautiful, betrayal is never forgotten — and revenge is always fashionably late.
