Elsewhere in Los Angeles, a different kind of storm brews—one ignited not by vengeance, but desire. Brooke Logan, the eternal flame at the center of the Forrester world, finds her life once again complicated by a man she thought she had left behind: Nick Marone.

Ridge believes they are forever. Decades of passionate reunions, devastating breakups, and vows exchanged have forged a bond he sees as unshakable. But love, as always in The Bold and the Beautiful, is never a guarantee.

Nick’s return is a spark on dry grass. At a fundraiser, at a runway show, on a polo field—wherever he goes, Brooke is drawn to him like a moth to a flame. His roguish charm, his admiration for her designs, his bold declarations that he wants her back—all make her heart race and her mind blur.

In a stunning moment inside Forrester Creations’ glittering conference room, Nick confronts Brooke. One word—“Brooke”—spoken like a secret memory, and then… a kiss. Not gentle, not hesitant, but searing. It leaves her breathless, torn between two lives—one of safety, one of thrilling uncertainty.

Word spreads like wildfire. Taylor questions Eric about Brooke’s past with Nick. Ridge hears whispers and sees Brooke’s hesitation. Can he still trust her? Or has the wild card, Nick Marone, returned to break everything apart?

As Luna inches closer to Hayes, as Brooke battles temptation, as Ridge’s world begins to tremble—The Bold and the Beautiful hurtles toward a week where love is war, trust is fragile, and one kiss may tip the balance of everything.
