In Monte Carlo, Brooke gushes to Ridge that the place is absolutely gorgeous. He points out a yacht and says that’s the boat he should have bought a long time ago. He tells her they have to try and make a splash. A man walks up and she tells him how excited they are about the fashion summit. He says the prince was excited to see her and so is he.
At Forrester, Steffy tells Finn the company has put millions into Brooke’s bedroom line. Hope watches the conversation from across the room as Finn questions whether it will be successful. Steffy says the social media drop was good, she’s just hoping it won’t be a flop. Hope snaps, “It won’t.” Steffy sighs to Finn about forgetting her passport and Hope flashes back to finding it. Steffy says it’s been a challenging time for Forrester, in large part due to the drain of Hope For the Future, “Let’s hope Brooke’s Bedroom turns things around today.” Hope shoots a knowing look at Finn.
In Poppy’s apartment, Luna asks what her mother is doing with the backpack and letters, “Did you do it? Did you kill Tom Starr?” She pleads with her mother to tell the truth. Tom claimed to be her father in the letters, and she knows how much Poppy loves their life with Bill. Did she kill Tom so Bill would never find out he might not be her father?! Poppy says, “You’re Bill’s daughter, not Tom’s!” Luna protests that she’s not answering her question… did she kill Tom?!
In Monaco, Brooke and Ridge arrive at the press conference. Brooke tells Ridge she’s nervous, and he reminds her she’s a pro and to just remember the message she’s sending to the world. Brooke decides, “You’re right. It is important. I can do this.”
At Forrester, Zende asks Steffy why she’s not in Monaco. She says she forgot her passport. Carter asks where Finn went. She says he went to take a call and will be back. After Brooke’s line drops she wants to talk more about Hope For the Future. Zende says he and RJ have been working hard on Hope’s line and they need a little more time. Steffy can’t guarantee that. Carter turns the conversation to Brooke’s Bedroom, and predicts that Brooke will knock it out of the park. Steffy hopes so and looks forward to orders pouring in. She wonders, “What’s taking Finn so long?”
In the design office, Hope flashes to Steffy telling her that her line is in trouble and she may have to cut it. She holds her head and Finn appears to rub her shoulders. “Migraine? Do you want me work my magic?” He massages her arms, shoulders, and neck. Hope closes her eyes and then opens them and whispers, “Don’t stop.” They kiss. Suddenly, Katie walks in. Hope is actually alone, fantasizing. Her aunt tells her that her mother’s line is dropping any moment and asks why she’s flushed. “Are you OK?”
In Monaco, Brooke and Ridge are introduced at the fashion summit. Ridge chats up the press and announces they’re doing a social media drop there today on the grounds of the casino. He talks about all the trips the family has made there and about Brooke being the love of his life. She’s brave, wonderful, and the day is all about her stepping into the limelight one more time. Forever beautiful, forever sexy, forever Logan. Everyone applauds.
In Poppy’s apartment, she denies killing Tom Starr and wonders why her daughter would even ask such a thing. She says Bill’s her father and reminds her they took a paternity test. Luna feels that in her heart, but wonders why the backpack is there hidden. This man from her past comes back after all these years and suddenly winds up dead. Did she eliminate a problem to protect their life with Bill?!
At Forrester, Finn rejoins Steffy, who is still with Carter and Zende. Hope and Katie come in, and Katie tells them all that Will is back home and so grown up. She thanks Zende for his social media expertise on Brooke’s line. Steffy declares that that the moment is upon them. Katie’s sure it will be a huge success. Hope glances at Finn, who puts his arm around his wife.
In Monte Carlo, Brooke speaks and credits Ridge for making this all happen. His belief in her made this possible. Now that she’s there, she’s pleased to announce that Brooke’s Bedroom is back, “Modeled by yours truly.” She says there’s a cliché that age is just a number, and it really is true. They need to embrace the changes in themselves and their lives. “We’re all perfectly and imperfect. We’re all bold, we’re all beautiful.” She unveils the video drop, which goes live as they all look at their phones.
At Poppy’s apartment, Luna hates questioning her mother, but she’s questioning everything. Like why she didn’t want to tell her who her father was. Poppy didn’t know how Bill would react. Luna thinks this sounds like an excuse. Nothing is adding up. Poppy protests that she did not kill Tom Starr and has no idea how the backpack got there. Luna says it didn’t magically appear out of nowhere. She’s done drugs in the past and they both died of overdoses, “Even Katie…” Poppy says she’s wrong. She didn’t harm anybody. They’ll talk this out but they have to keep this as their secret. No one can know about this.
At Forrester, Zende can’t believe they’re live. Katie gushes that Brooke’s about to break the internet. Hope beams. They all watch the video launching the line, which is being shown all over the world simultaneously.
In Monte Carlo, Brooke and Ridge step aside to talk. Brooke thinks that went well. Ridge assures her everyone will see it. He tells her she inspires everyone and lifts him up as well. He’s so proud of her. They kiss passionately as a strange woman in a black scarf watches from a distance.
Next on The Bold and the Beautiful: Steffy and Hope spiral, arguing while awaiting news of the new line’s success, Brooke and Ridge’s love is palpable as they hold center stage at a press conference, and panic sets in when the Brooke’s Bedroom line website crashes.
