If you tuned into The Bold and the Beautiful today, you probably noticed the air in Los Angeles felt a little heavier. Honestly, the Forrester living room has seen its fair share of drama, but the tension between the Logan sisters and the Forrester men just hit a whole new level of "yikes."
We finally saw RJ Forrester—played by the new face on the scene, Brayan Nicoletti—trying to wrap his head around the fact that his family is basically in a civil war. He just got back from his travels, expecting some home-cooked meals and maybe a little peace, but instead, he’s walked straight into a buzzsaw of corporate backstabbing and sisterly resentment.
RJ Gets the Lowdown (And He’s Not Happy)
Today’s episode really leaned into the fallout of RJ’s homecoming. Brooke and Ridge didn’t waste any time. They sat him down and basically dumped the entire "Katie is starting her own company" drama right in his lap. You could see the look on RJ’s face—it was a mix of "wait, what?" and "here we go again."
Brooke is clearly struggling. She’s trying to play the supportive sister, but it’s failing. Miserably. She told RJ about Katie naming the new brand "Logan," and you can tell it feels like a personal theft to her. It’s kinda wild how a name can cause this much friction, but in the world of high fashion, branding is everything. RJ seems to be connecting dots faster than his parents realize, and he’s clearly worried that this "Logan" vs. "Forrester" rivalry is going to blow the whole family apart.

Eric Forrester: The Ultimate Wildcard
The real kicker today, though, was the deeper dive into Eric’s headspace. We’ve known Eric is a rebel at heart, but seeing him fully commit to being Katie’s lead designer is a massive shift.
Think about it. The man founded Forrester Creations. It’s his blood, sweat, and sequins. But Ridge has been pushing for total control, and Eric has finally had enough of being treated like a legacy act. He doesn't want to be the "Founder Emeritus" who gets rolled out for anniversary parties; he wants to create.
His conversation with Katie today was intense. She’s worried about pitting him against Ridge—which, let's be real, is exactly what’s happening—but Eric was firm. He basically said, "This is what I want." It’s personal for him now. He isn’t just designing clothes; he’s designing a second act that doesn't involve his son’s permission.

A Wedding and a Warning
While the fashion houses are gearing up for war, Carter and Daphne are off in their own world. It’s refreshing, honestly. After everything Carter has been through (the Hope disaster, the Paris heartbreaks), seeing him actually happy feels earned.
They were celebrating their engagement today, and the vibes were high. Daphne is clear about what she wants: kids, stability, and a future that doesn't involve constant soap opera chaos. Carter is all in. But—and there’s always a "but" on this show—we know Sheila Carter is lurking in the background.
Steffy and Finn spent part of the day looking over their shoulders. They’re terrified of what happens when Sheila finds out about Deacon and Taylor’s "emotional boundary-crossing." If you’ve watched this show for more than a week, you know Sheila doesn't do "quiet disappointment." She does "explosive retaliation."

The Dylan Factor
Then there’s Dylan. Sydney Bullock’s character is finally getting a win, but it feels like it’s going to cost her later. Steffy offered her a job at Forrester today after hearing about her struggles and the fact that she was living in her car.
It was a total "rich girl helps the less fortunate" moment, but when Dylan told Will and Electra the news, their reaction was... let's call it "cautious." They looked uneasy. Maybe it’s because working together is always a recipe for disaster, or maybe they know something Dylan doesn't. Either way, the "three musketeers" vibe is already feeling a little shaky.
What This Means for Next Week
Basically, the board is set. You’ve got Eric joining forces with Katie to take on Ridge and Brooke. You’ve got RJ caught in the middle, likely feeling like he has to choose a side. And you’ve got a wedding planned that is almost certainly going to be crashed by some form of Sheila-related insanity.
If you’re looking for a takeaway from today’s episode, it’s this: Loyalty in Los Angeles is a very flexible concept. ### Your B&B Insider Checklist:
- Watch the credits: The shift in power between Ridge and Eric is going to change the opening dynamic.
- Keep an eye on RJ: He’s not just a bystander; his design background makes him the "free agent" both companies will eventually fight over.
- Don't trust the peace: Carter and Daphne are happy now, but "happy" is the most dangerous state to be in on a soap opera.
Keep an eye on the "Logan" brand launch. If Brooke doesn't find a way to make peace with Katie soon, we aren't just looking at a business rivalry—we're looking at a permanent rift in the Logan family tree.
