You took my man,\u201d Katie notes, \u201cso why not take my name, too?\u201d At Forrester, Bill shows up to gloat to Ridge and Carter that they were outwitted. And at the beach house, Electra reiterates that she and Will refuse to let Dylan spend another night in her car.<\/p>\n<p>Dylan Is Overwhelmed by Electra and Will\u2019s Kindness<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After the opening credits, Dylan expresses her delight that she\u2019ll again have a shower and a bedroom. But is it just me, or did she look at Will a little too long? Anyway, instead of move Dylan in, the trio leave her stuff in her car and repeat their PSA. For some reason, Dylan never even considered the possibility of crashing with a friend.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-812865\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screen-Shot-2025-12-31-at-1.38.51-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"602\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Later, Dylan says that she wants to pitch in to help earn her keep around the house. When she goes for a walk on the beach, Will finds the silver lining in Dylan\u2019s sitch: It means that Electra will be sleeping over more (once she gets Ivy\u2019s OK\u2026 which is odd, because isn\u2019t Electra a consenting adult?).<\/p>\n<p>More: All the <a href=\"https:\/\/soaps.sheknows.com\/soaps\/news\/812672\/new-midseason-shows-2026-abc-cbs-nbc-fox\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">new shows coming in 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bill and Ridge Butt Heads<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">At Forrester, Carter suggests that Bill could\u2019ve avoided this mess by nudging Katie toward a different name for her fashion house. Bill shrugs that all families squabble, it\u2019s no biggie in the end. Ridge doubts that his wife and onetime fianc\u00e9e will be burying the hatchet anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-812871\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screen-Shot-2025-12-31-at-1.35.15-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"600\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Before exiting, Carter threatens to find out if Bill pulled a fast one to obtain the trademark. But of course the only fast thing about it was Liam\u2019s typing. Alone with Bill, Ridge accuses Katie of backstabbing Brooke. Ridge even calls upon his nemesis to find a way to end this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Katie will be overwhelmed the day-to-day demands of a fashion house, Ridge adds. Unfazed, Bill insists that she will rise to the challenge, leading to Ridge actually admitting his enemy\u2019s faith in his wife is very nice. With that, they almost part on a friendly note. Almost.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-812867\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screen-Shot-2025-12-31-at-1.33.04-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"598\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ridge calls Bill back in before he leaves to remind him of the sibs\u2019 history. Bill isn\u2019t worried that the past will impact the future. If it does, though, he\u2019s sure Katie will use it to fire her up for her new venture.<\/p>\n<p>Katie Plays the \u2018You Stole My Man\u2019 Card\u2026 a Lot<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">At the same time, Katie is at Spencer rehashing Brooke\u2019s illicit relationship with Bill. \u201cYou undermined my marriage,\u201d Katie says, \u201cand now you\u2019re undermining my fashion company. I can\u2019t believe you\u2019re treating me this way.\u201d Uh, have you met your sister, Katie?<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-812870\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screen-Shot-2025-12-31-at-1.50.20-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"599\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Brooke refuses to take the blame for what happened between her and Bill, prompting Katie to say that actions have consequences and accuse her sister of \u201ctargeting\u201d her husband. Not sure that\u2019s exactly the way it happened, but\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Regardless, Katie is steamed. She won\u2019t let Brooke walk all over her ever again. Katie is so excited about her company and wanted Brooke to want it for her. Since she can\u2019t do that, Katie warns, \u201cYou sure as hell better not stand in my way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-812862\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screen-Shot-2025-12-31-at-1.51.23-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"599\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Through Tears, Katie Gets the Last Word In<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Brooke won\u2019t let Katie steal the fruits of her labor. Katie can\u2019t believe she won\u2019t share her name with the sister she claims to love. From there, Katie harps on Brooke wrecking her marriage some more. In the years after, \u201cI got my dignity back. I got Bill back,\u201d Katie says. \u201cI got my self-respect.\u201d She also got engaged to Ridge, but I guess we\u2019re not gonna remember that today. \u201cI can stand on my own two feet,\u201d Katie says, \u201cand have a fashion house that\u2019s gonna be a major success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/soaps.sheknows.com\/the-bold-and-the-beautiful\/news\/811413\/what-will-happen-steffy-finn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Stormy seas ahead for \u2018Sinn\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With that, Katie shows Brooke the door. \u201cYou\u2019re not welcome here anymore.\u201d Brooke thinks she\u2019s getting the last word when she tells Katie, \u201cI love you,\u201d but Katie has two more of her own to say: \u201cGet\u2026 out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.email.soaps.com\/signup\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-778426 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/The-Bold-and-the-Beautiful-wigdet.jpg\" alt=\"Text reads, Subscribe to Soaps' Bold &amp; Beautiful Newsletter.

(This is one step away from becoming a salacious reality show!) Electra has something for her beau\u2026 a necklace with \u201cWE\u201d on it for their names. As they embrace, Dylan watches, smiling, through the window.
