Tensions between Steffy and Hope reached a boiling point in the latest episode, as Steffy repeatedly voiced her concerns over Hope’s behavior. Steffy warned Hope not to repeat the same mistakes her mother, Brooke, made—a past filled with infidelity and controversy. Steffy’s fear of Hope following in Brooke’s footsteps drove her to act in defense of her family, especially her marriage to Finn.

However, Hope took offense at Steffy’s warnings, feeling attacked and believing Steffy was using Brooke’s history to undermine her. The confrontation escalated further when Hope admitted to losing control and kissing Finn, though she insisted it was a moment of weakness and not planned. Despite Hope’s explanation, Steffy was convinced that Hope was trying to steal Finn away, and the kiss was undeniable proof.

This week, the conflict reaches its peak when Steffy decides it’s time for Hope to be completely removed from her life. Not only does Steffy push Hope out of her relationship with Finn, but she also kicks her out of Forrester Creations. Hope, who has been a key figure at the company, is devastated by the sudden dismissal, as it’s not just a job for her—it’s part of her identity.

With her career in ruins and her reputation tarnished, Hope is left to contemplate her next move. Meanwhile, Sheila seizes the opportunity to manipulate Hope, planting seeds of hatred toward Steffy. As Sheila expertly fuels the growing resentment in Hope, viewers are left wondering: Will Hope seek revenge on Steffy? And how far will Sheila push her to exact that vengeance? This explosive storyline is far from over, and the consequences may be fatal.
