At Forrester, Electra tells Dylan she can’t work there. Appalled, Miss D reminds her how much she’s struggled. Electra complains about her and Will and repeats, “Leave Forrester and don’t come back.”
Electra, digging in, asks if tormenting her has been fun for Dylan. The art teacher says she’ll try to stay out of her way… she can’t say no to this opportunity. Electra sneers, “You should have said no a long time ago.”
They get into what Ivy saw, and Dylan insists it was innocent. Electra asks, “What about kissing Will?” Was that innocent too? Dylan says they’d already broken up, besides, it’s not like she’s been perfect either. Electra asks what that’s supposed to mean. Dylan’s sure she knows exactly what she’s talking about.
Dylan goes on about her holding her to a standard that she doesn’t uphold herself. Electra starts chewing her out for staying too long at the beach house. Dylan hollers that she was alone and desperate, while she was living in a mansion! “I have no money, Electra! I am doing my best trying to make it on my own.” Now that she finally has a decently paying job, she’s staying. “I am not leaving Forrester!”
Inappropriate Ivy
Ivy finds RJ sketching for the men’s line in the main office and tells him, “Very sexy. I could actually see you wearing some of these.” She then remarks on his biceps, which we’d call “highly inappropriate” given he’s her nephew, and suggests that Electra might be appreciative of his physique.
RJ isn’t sure they should be discussing Electra, but Ivy is undeterred. She thinks he should design couture gowns with Electra as his muse. RJ remarks on how direct Ivy is being. They recap Will and Electra breaking up and she badmouths Will before revealing that Dylan was hired. And there it is, the ol’, “It’s not propa! It’s not propa at all!”
RJ learns that Steffy hired Dylan and agrees it will be hard for Electra. Ivy pushes that a handsome guy could distract her from the pain. She’s concerned Will is going to try and worm his way back in, and urges RJ to save her.

Sad Sack
In the design office, Daphne finds Will down in the dumps and guesses he’s upset about Electra. He tries to fob her off, but she offers to listen if he needs a friendly ear… and then muses, “You still love Electra, don’t you?”
Will won’t speak poorly of his ex. Daphne asks what happened… they were so close and so happy. “It’s not right.” As he explains that Electra gave up, Ivy busts in and calls Daphne insensitive. Will takes off for shipping, and Ivy warns Daphne not to dare interfere.
Meanwhile, RJ finds Electra stewing in the showroom and guesses she’s upset about Dylan. Electra feels her life is spinning out of control. RJ gets it. He reminds her that he and Ivy care about her and she’s not alone.
After some more ranting about Dylan, Electra wails that she can’t understand how they got here. RJ tells her she can handle this. “Forget about Will. Forget about Dylan. I’m here for you.”
The Final Scenes
In the design office, Daphne calls Ivy hypocritical for criticizing her for interfering when she stole the letter and manipulated their lives. She’s lying to her niece. Ivy won’t apologize. Will is a disaster. She won’t allow it! Not when there’s RJ, a man of the world, “And oh my God, his muscles. He’s gorgeous,” she gushes.
Daphne, appropriately creeped out, suggests Ivy should go after RJ herself. Dylan walks up to the door and she wonders how Ivy can act like this is not a big deal: Will and Electra would still be together if not for her and her manipulations. “You’re keeping them apart and it’s wrong.” None of this would be happening if it wasn’t for Ivy.

Dylan turns away as Daphne storms out of the office, and then goes inside and closes the door. She confronts Ivy about what Daphne said. “What did you do? You’re manipulating Will and Electra? Are you keeping them apart?!” Ivy smirks and shakes her head.
