Steffy has a plan to get Forrester back into the right hands, or "the Forresters." (Although they always forget that Ridge is not biologically a Forrester, nor is his daughter.)
Snake in Paradise
Steffy's plan is a seductress named Daphne Rose, a woman who everyone is said to fall for. She's a famous perfumer from Paris, and Hope and Carter welcome her with open arms. They want Forrester to have its own perfume line.
But Daphne is on Steffy's side. Her goal is to seduce Carter... and thus break up Hope and Carter. Steffy, after all, always thinks of herself as such a good and moral person who would never do anything wrong.
Will Steffy's plan work? Will she get Hope and Carter separated? And Forrester back to the Forresters?
As part of her plan, Steffy sneaks herself back into work for Forrester. Hope and Carter are equally stupid enough to take her back.
Everyone thinks Daphne is completely irresistible because she smells so good. Hope catches Carter sniffing Daphne.
But no matter, Hope is soon sniffing Daphne with gusto. (This has already made some wonder if the conservative series would dare to go there.)
But then, inspired by Daphne, Carter begins to regret his conquest of Forrester. He and Hope have a bad fight over it.
Carter can't stand the thought of betraying his best friend Ridge.
Soon, Hope sees a shocking vision as Carter and Ridge embrace.
Forbidden Kiss
You'd think Hope would be traumatized by the fact that every time she opens the door at Forrester, something suspicious is revealed behind it. But the third time is the charm.
Hope catches Daphne and Carter kissing!
Hope tells Carter to choose between her and Daphne. She tells Carter to send Daphne back to Paris. But Carter wants Daphne to stay because it's best for the company. Hope can't believe Carter chose Daphne.
Carter's Choice
Daphne has made Carter see the light. Ridge and Eric promise to forgive Carter and keep Hope's collection in their lineup if Carter gives Forrester back to them.
Carter says he's sorry, he has missed them. Ridge says they've missed their "brother" too.
Carter tears up the papers that made him the head of Forrester, and gives Eric his famous stapler back.
The Forresters have Forrester back!
And Carter has proven himself to be a complete pushover for women to manipulate and take advantage of.
The Forresters celebrate their return to power, but what happens when Hope finds out what Carter decided behind her back? And will the Forresters keep their promise not to discontinue Hope's line?
The next spoiler of The Bold and the Beautiful promises to be a wild ride as the news of Luna's paternity and whereabouts spread.
