Eric, usually the family’s pillar of calm, steps up to defend Hope. Having always cherished her as part of his family, he’s appalled by Steffy’s behavior and disappointed in Ridge for not intervening. For Eric, this is more than just a family dispute; it’s an affront to his values and his close relationship with Hope, whom he sees as embodying kindness and integrity.

Meanwhile, Steffy faces her worst nightmare: her daughter, Kelly, is abducted. When Steffy receives a cryptic message demanding she come alone to an abandoned house, she fears for Kelly’s life. However, a second message warns her not to involve the police, or her daughter will be harmed. Desperate and torn, Steffy turns to Kelly’s father, Liam, for help. Together, they decide to confront the kidnappers, hoping their teamwork will be enough to rescue Kelly safely.

Arriving at the secluded location, they’re shocked to find a masked man lying in wait.

Horrified and grief-stricken, the two parents are left in unimaginable pain. The traumatic event leads them to question who could be behind such a ruthless act. Is this revenge from someone within the Forrester family’s tangled past, or is it an enemy of Liam’s?
