Put a Ring on It

Steffy loves him and starts sobbing. The ring is back on her finger. Finn’s beeper goes off. He has to take it. Finn walks away, so Steffy can finally breathe. 

Second Chances

At Forrester Creations, Daphne Rose Walton (Murielle Hilaire) and Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) continue talking.

The Nose asks for her wedding ring back. Carter slips the ring on her finger. She promises to always wear it. Being infertile broke her, but they made vows to each other.

They can get through anything together. Carter wants to believe that. Steffy walks in. Daphne says she made a mistake but has made things right with Carter. Daphne kisses him and leaves.

Carter Walton’s Desperation

Carter tells Steffy she can’t tell Finn the truth. Both of their marriages are at risk! Steffy can’t lie forever.

Carter says it was one mistake. They can forget it ever happened. Finn can never know.

RJ Forrester’s Pitch

In the showroom, RJ and Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz) talk about HFTF. Zende really misses it. RJ thinks they should put Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) as the replacement for Hope Logan Spencer (Annika Noelle).

They can swing the angle that Electra is the kind of woman who can do anything. Zende likes the idea. 

Eric Forrester Interrupts

Electra and Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) continue fighting. Dylan tells her former BFF that she is the one who dumped Will in the first place.

Electra won’t trust her again. Dylan claims that she’s in love with Will Spencer (Crew Morrow). Electra thinks the assistant was after Will from the very beginning.

Dylan would never have acted on her feelings if Electra hadn’t broken up with Will. Electra screams that she will always love him!

That is when Eric Forrester (John McCook) walks in. The man reminds the girls that FC is a place of business. Eric sends Dylan away.

The man tells Electra that FC isn’t doing well. Eric reminds her that she can’t be with Will ever again. 

RJ enters and announces he has a pitch. They need a new youth line and Electra would be perfect, he suggests.
