Brooke’s Worst Nightmare Comes True as Katie’s Fashion House Takes the Industry by Storm
What Brooke Logan never truly believed could happen has finally become reality—and it’s shaking her to the core. Katie Logan’s fashion house hasn’t merely launched;

it has exploded onto the scene, sending shockwaves through the fashion industry and straight into the heart of Forrester Creations.

What Brooke once dismissed as a risky experiment or fleeting rebellion has rapidly transformed into a calculated, confident triumph—

one that threatens everything Brooke thought she understood about power, legacy, and her own family.

From the moment Katie’s brand debuts under the Spencer Publications banner, the buzz is undeniable. Industry insiders whisper excitedly, buyers clamor for meetings, and fashion blogs light up with glowing praise. Even former Forrester allies—people Brooke assumed would never turn their attention elsewhere—are openly applauding Katie’s bold vision. The response is not polite curiosity; it’s full-blown enthusiasm. This is no vanity project. This is a serious contender.

At the center of it all stands Katie herself, calm and radiant, exuding a confidence Brooke has never seen before. Gone is the sister who once second-guessed herself or sought reassurance from others. In her place is a decisive leader, guiding her team through mock-ups, early designs, and long-term strategies with absolute clarity. Standing beside Bill Spencer, Katie is unwavering, composed, and unapologetic. She isn’t asking for approval anymore—she’s setting the agenda.

Inside Spencer Publications, the atmosphere is electric. Eric Forrester and Deacon Sharpe are fully immersed in the creative process, working together with an ease that suggests years of collaboration rather than a recent alliance. Eric brings his legendary eye, craftsmanship, and heritage, while Deacon contributes raw hunger, gratitude, and a fearless modern sensibility. Together, they debate fabrics, refine silhouettes, and sketch concepts that feel daring yet wearable—a stark departure from the rigid hierarchy they left behind.

Katie watches it all unfold with quiet pride. This isn’t chaos; it’s collaboration. For the first time in years, she isn’t being talked over, sidelined, or asked to compromise her instincts. This is her house, her vision, her gamble—and it’s paying off.

The news hits Brooke like a gut punch.

Back at Forrester Creations, Brooke learns just how successful Katie’s launch has been, and the reality is impossible to ignore. Reports flood in. Buyers requesting appointments. Influencers praising the collection. Social media buzzing with excitement. Brooke scrolls through post after post, each glowing comment tightening the knot in her chest. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. Katie was supposed to stumble. She was supposed to fail—and come back.

Instead, Brooke is forced to face the truth: her sister didn’t just survive outside Forrester Creations. She thrived.

When Brooke finally comes face to face with Katie again, she does her best to maintain her composure. She offers congratulations, delivers all the right words, and forces a smile—but the warmth never reaches her eyes. Katie notices immediately. This time, she doesn’t soften her success or downplay it to spare Brooke’s feelings. She speaks openly about expansion, future hires, and upcoming showcases. And with every word, Brooke realizes something chilling: this isn’t temporary.

Ridge Forrester feels the threat just as sharply—if not more so. He immediately recognizes Eric’s influence in the designs. The structure, the craftsmanship, the unmistakable Forrester DNA—it’s all there. Knowing that his father’s talent is fueling a rival brand makes this deeply personal. This isn’t just competition. It’s legacy slipping through his fingers. The idea that Forrester blood and history are now strengthening another fashion house rattles Ridge to his core.

What hurts Brooke the most isn’t just Katie’s success—it’s the shift in power. Katie no longer needs her. She isn’t fighting for a seat at the table because she built her own—and it’s already full. Her confidence is undeniable. She makes decisions without hesitation, explains her plans with authority, and never once asks Brooke for validation. For the first time, Brooke isn’t the one in control.

Later, alone with her thoughts, Brooke finally admits what she’s been trying to deny. She underestimated her sister. Worse, she may have helped create her strongest rival. Katie didn’t just leave Forrester Creations—she outgrew it. And as the fashion world takes notice, a haunting realization settles in: the nightmare isn’t that Katie started her own fashion house. The nightmare is that Katie might win.

The fallout is inevitable.

An unavoidable confrontation erupts when Brooke and Katie find themselves in the same room at Spencer Publications—this time without polite buffers or an audience. The tension is immediate. Brooke’s compliments are carefully measured, her smile tight. Katie, on the other hand, is unapologetically confident, openly discussing buyer interest and the enthusiastic response to Eric and Deacon’s designs. Every word feels like a challenge.

Brooke finally snaps, questioning whether Katie rushed into this and accusing Bill of clouding her judgment. Katie remains calm, reminding Brooke that she tried to stay at Forrester and wasn’t heard. This wasn’t impulsive—it was necessary.

When Ridge enters the conversation, the situation escalates. He accuses Katie’s fashion house of being a direct attack on Forrester Creations and reignites his long-standing hostility with Bill. Bill fires back, pointing out that Forrester had every opportunity to keep Katie and Eric—and chose not to. Katie steps in, making it clear this isn’t about revenge. It’s about respect. The word alone strikes a nerve with Ridge.

Then Eric arrives, and the room goes quiet.

Calm and resolute, Eric makes it clear this was his decision. He wasn’t stolen or manipulated—he was pushed aside. Working with Katie, he explains, has reignited his passion after being forced into retirement. His disappointment in Ridge is understated but devastating, leaving Ridge struggling to respond and Brooke torn between loyalty and discomfort.

Meanwhile, Deacon begins to feel the pressure of his new role as whispers spread through Forrester Creations. When Hope confronts him, her emotions are conflicted—pride mixed with hurt. Deacon assures her this is about being valued, not choosing sides. The tension deepens when Steffy sees them together and realizes just how much talent walked out the door.

Brooke soon reaches her breaking point, confiding in Donna and insisting Katie is being reckless, Bill manipulative, and Eric misguided. But even as she says it, her voice wavers. Donna gently reminds her of the truth: Katie and Eric tried to stay. Brooke doesn’t want to hear it. What terrifies her most isn’t rivalry—it’s equality.

The tension peaks when Katie publicly announces her fashion house’s first major showcase. The news spreads instantly, sending shockwaves through the industry and straight back to Forrester Creations. Brooke sees the announcement and freezes. Katie isn’t hiding. She isn’t playing small. She’s stepping directly into the spotlight—without asking permission.

A war has officially begun.

As Forrester Creations scrambles to respond, one truth becomes impossible to ignore. This is no longer just sibling rivalry. It’s a battle for legacy, relevance, and control. Staring out at the city lights, Brooke realizes too late that her worst nightmare didn’t come from an enemy.

It came from her own sister—the one she underestimated.
