As the episode begins, Katie is at Spencer (or Logan’s one office at Spencer) watching models twirl in Eric’s designs, the apparent theme of the collection being… mauve? At Forrester Creations, Ivy is actually doing some work when Daphne comes in determined to talk some more about the case of the purloined letter. In the main office, R.J. picks a fight with Will. “Show some class,” R.J. says, “and leave” the company. In the showroom, Electra suggests to Dylan that now that she’s received one — one! — paycheck she can immediately move out of Will’s house.

Um, how much does Electra think Dylan is getting paid?!?

Brooke Cries, ‘Stop! Thief!’

After the opening credits, Katie excuses her models so that Brooke can harp for the zillionth time on the fact that they are wearing Eric’s gowns, not her sister’s. Um, same diff, Brooke. Katie points out that she’s not trying to pass of Eric’s work as her own. But Brooke isn’t gonna hear anything she doesn’t want to. Katie argues that she’s shown Eric more respect than “Bridge,” who kicked him to the curb. “Believe what you want,” scoffs Brooke, clearly a fan of revisionist history. “At least I’m not a thief.”

Ma’am, thieves do not pay for the things that they steal; Katie paid for Eric’s work!

Midway through the show, Brooke makes fun of Katie for passing herself off as some kind of multi-tasking “boss babe.” But Katie says she’s no one-woman show, she has a whole team. (She does? Where do they hide?) Brooke then triples down, saying judgment day is coming for Logan. “Who will you steal from next?” We’d phrase it “Who would you hire next to design for you?” but potato, potahto, we suppose where Brooke is concerned.

Electra Plays a Broken Record

At Forrester, Ivy almost hurts herself, she rolls her eyes so hard at Daphne. But the Frenchwoman is so invested in Electra and Will’s relationship that she isn’t about to let the matter drop. That is, she leaves, but she makes it clear that she’ll be back to discuss it some more. Was there ever any doubt?

More: Sheila’s next move is a doozy!

In the showroom, Electra recaps Dylan’s storyline as if Dylan herself could have forgotten it. “If you have any integrity left,” Electra hisses, “you will find a place of your own.” Clearly, Electra has no idea what kind of financial checks go into renting an apartment, because she really seems to think that having put in a week or two of work and possessing one whole check, Dylan can just move out of Will’s. “If you expect us to even coexist, if you respect me at all,” Princess Electra says, “find a place of your own.”

Apparently, Dylan has gotten paid so much already that, in Electra’s estimation, it will pay a whole month’s rent. What Dylan does next, Miss Priss adds, will dictate what kind of person she really is. 

Hot Tempers Explode

In the CEO’s office, R.J. calls Will putting a roof over Dylan’s head a betrayal of Electra. “You wanna be a scumbag player like your daddy, go ahead,” R.J. cracks. Next thing we know, they’re fighting like kids on the playground — briefly. Carter comes in and breaks up the brawl. But R.J. isn’t done. He may not throw any punches, but he’s quick to hurl insults. What’s more, “I’m tired of watching you mistreat Electra,” he says, appointing himself his cousin’s protector. “Don’t ever do it again.”

Ooo, strong words!

Later, as Carter fills in Daphne, Ivy recruits R.J. to ensure that Electra moves on from Will. R.J. is on the case, he says — and he doesn’t need any encouragement from Auntie Virus. When Will catches up with Electra in the showroom, she asks if he’s finally ready to let Dylan go.

She Is Katie, Hear Her Roar

In the episode’s final moments, Brooke keeps needling Katie, forcing her to explain that she didn’t need Eric’s permission to use his designs. Katie further recounts that Eric came to her and was excited to work at Logan, then Ridge crooked his finger, and the patriarch ran out on her without a backwards glance. “Where’s my apology?” Fair, no?

Katie goes on to say something completely unthinkable — to Brooke, anyway: that the world doesn’t revolve around her. Katie isn’t turning into Bill, she has found her voice, she argues, and no way in hell will she back down!

Ivy has no sooner sent R.J. toddling off to make a move on Electra when Daphne comes back in. “Ugh,” Ivy says. (Is that the new “Shut up, Donna”? It’s funny either way.) Daphne reiterates that Electra deserves to know what happened to the telltale latter. Ivy says that if Daphne cares so much, she’ll keep her lips zipped and let Electra move on with R.J.

Will’s Last Chance, and This Time Electra Means It (Sure, She Does)

Lastly, Electra warns Will that if Dylan doesn’t vamoose, the two of them will have blown their last chance to have any relationship with her. Like what, that’s such a prize? “If you want a future with me,” Electra says, “Dylan has to go.”
