At Logan, Katie tries convincing Will that he needs to find a woman worth fighting for… he can do so much better than Melissa Dylan. “Trust me when I say, she is not Spencer quality!”
Will asks what that even means… does his mother not respect Dylan because she’s not wealthy. He reminds Katie that she and her sister didn’t come from money. Katie fumes that they grew up with character. Brooke threw it all away to get the men she wanted… even if one was married to her own sister. Dylan has the same hunger and ambition. “That’s why she’s not Spencer quality and never will be.”
Will informs his mother that Dylan is not Brooke and has not set her sights on him. Katie mockingly points out that he doesn’t love her; she’s a distraction from Electra. Will warns if she compares Dylan to Brooke, he’s going to compare her to Stephanie Forrester, who mistreated Brooke over the years. Katie says Stephanie was right. She protected her husband and son from Brooke, and she will protect him from Melissa Dylan!
Absolutely unrelenting, Katie tells Will, “Dylan isn’t good for you, honey.” Will exclaims, “What? And Electra is?!” Katie’s not saying that. Will argues that she has many times and reminds his mom how many times she’s dumped him for unacceptable reasons. She will always choose the Forresters over him. Dylan makes him happy and he needs Katie to give her a chance. Katie’s eyes roll.
Pep Talk
At Dylan’s place, Darcy enthuses about Will wanting to show her daughter his workplace. She’s so happy for her and just can’t get over her dating a Spencer. Dylan just wishes Will’s mom would accept her. If they had her blessing it would mean so much. Darcy doesn’t think she needs her approval as long as she has Will’s. She’s sure Katie will come around.
Dylan and Darcy banter as the young woman tries finding something appropriate to wear to Logan and gushes about her night with Will. She feels he’s starting to move on from Electra. Darcy realizes she might get to meet Bill Spencer and coaches her daughter how to act. Dylan wonders how Katie will feel about her being in the building.
They go over the situation with Katie until Deacon texts Dylan. Darcy makes a flirty comment about the restaurateur, and then goes back to building up her daughter’s confidence. The fact that she’s concerned about his mother’s feelings proves that it’s just a matter of time before Katie sees what the rest of them see in her. They embrace.
Fed Up
At Forrester Creations, Zende looks spaced out as Ridge tells a meeting about the Electra line that they have to keep it quiet. This could be what pulls them out of the hole Katie and Co. have put them in. R.J. agrees that they deserve it. Ridge notices Zende is quiet. He’s trying to make sense of Hope leaving for Logan and killing Hope For the Future.
Ridge grunts about the rough spot their company is in after Hope leaving. RJ assures Zende he can put his skills to work on the Electra line. Zende snips, “Your line.” He tells Ridge that being lead designer for Hope For the Future was the pinnacle of his career. Now it’s all gone… and he gets to take notes from R.J!

Ridge explains to Zende that they’re a team. R.J. pleads with Zende to embrace the opportunity to create something new. Zende complains that this is a line that Ridge gave his son. Ridge sighs, “Oh, boy.”
The Final Scenes
Still in the Forrester office, Ridge and R.J. keep trying to cajole Zende into getting on board with the Electra line. Zende explodes and Ridge raises his voice. Why are they fighting each other? They won’t stand a chance against the Spencers! “Stop!” Ridge orders.
At Logan, Will and Katie argue when she says Dylan has been manipulative and gone after him aggressively… betraying her best friend. Will says they didn’t do anything until he saw Electra kissing R.J. Katie doesn’t want to see him get trapped and hopes he’s using protection. Throwing up his hands, Will says she’s being ridiculous. Katie hollers that she knows women like this! Will knows things are difficult with Brooke right now, but he Katie loves her deep down. Katie fumes that people like Brooke and Dylan will do whatever it takes to get what they want.
More: Darcy and Katie go head to head
Dylan arrives and overhears Katie telling her son that she will do anything to hold onto him and use her sexuality to win her over. Will, fed up, tells his mom to be polite to Dylan when she arrives. When he calls her his girlfriend, Katie scoffs and mocks her as a rebound who’s not good enough for him. “I forbid this relationship.”
When Dylan turns to leave, Will spots her and calls, “Wait.” She shakes her head. She’s leaving. “I don’t belong here. I’m clearly not wanted.” Will doesn’t know what she overheard but she is wanted and she belongs there with him. Dylan looks past him to Katie who is, you guessed it, rolling her eyes.
