Donna Logan Forrester’s Debate

Eric and Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) face each other at Logan. The patriarch claims to just be “checking things out.”

Brooke comments that she was about to find out the name of Katie Logan Spencer’s (Heather Tom) new designer. Eric tries to leave but Brooke keeps asking why he’s there.

Donna shows up, so Eric claims he was going to take his beautiful wife out to lunch. Brooke remembers she has actual work to do. Before she leaves, she pesters Donna about Katie’s new designer. Donna is staying out of it!

Brooke says she doesn’t want her relationship with Katie to suffer because of work. Then, the blonde leaves. Once she’s gone, Donna accuses Eric and Katie of dancing dangerously.

They both try to get Donna to relax, but she’s worried about lying to Brooke. Katie says she’s doing what is best for her company.

Donna worries about Eric’s health. Designing should make Eric feel young, not stressed. Donna suggests Eric could return to FC part-time.

Eric Forrester’s Rage

Katie reasons that Ridge forced Eric out to begin with. Donna knows, but Ridge will blow up if Eric works for Bill Spencer (Don Diamont)!

Now it’s Eric’s time to blow up. The man declares that FC shoved him aside when it should have been HIS decision to retire. The more he thinks about it, the more pissed he gets!

He won’t be pushed aside! Eric declares that Ridge and Brooke are going to learn a really brutal lesson about respecting their elders.

Will Spencer’s Plea

In the office, Will thanks Ridge for letting him join a meeting. The young man is trying to learn everything he can about the business.

Will doesn’t want there to be tension because of Katie. Ridge says stealing the name was wrong. Will claims he’s loyal to FC. Ridge hates Bill but he’s glad Will isn’t anything like him.

Will exits as Brooke enters. Brooke tells him about Eric being at Katie’s office. This doesn’t surprise Ridge. The dressman seems to have the wrong idea about why Eric was there! Ridge is positive that things can’t get any worse.

RJ Forrester’s Remark

In the showroom, Electra gushes about how excited everyone is that RJ is finally home. It’s weird how they’ve never met. Their families never visited each other, and she’s excited to get to know RJ now.

They talk about RJ’s travels as the mean interns spy on them. Electra calls RJ the golden child. RJ is looking forward to being home in L.A.

Electra talks about her boyfriend. RJ has met Will a few times, but they went to different schools. They discuss Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada).

Meanwhile, the interns gossip about RJ and Electra. RJ will be no fun if he spends all his time with Electra. Will interrupts and asks what they were discussing.

Will heads to the showroom and hears Electra and RJ talking about Luna.
