THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Brooke and Hope Have the ‘Mother’ of All Showdowns in Heather Tom Written and Directed Episode
After much hype, and in a first for daytime television, the Heather Tom (Katie Logan), acted, directed and written episode of The Bold and the Beautiful aired today on CBS and streamed on Paramount+. It was perfectly timed in conjunction with Women’s History Month.
While the show is touting yet another record for the mighty Tom, (she has already won six Daytime Emmys tying her with Erika Slezak (ex-Viki, OLTL) for the most wins by an actress in Emmy history and broke the record for an actress winning two Emmys in each of the acting categories of Younger, Supporting and Lead Actress) this new accomplishment is pretty astounding; given that over the years Heather has branched out into directing and more recently script writing for the soap.
In the episode centered around mothers and daughters, Heather scripted scenes that featured Taylor (Rebecca Budig) and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) celebrating their victories over the Logan women, Hope (Annika Noelle) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), while Hope and Brooke have the most massive emotional showdown where hurt, betrayal and plenty of history is dredged up. The mother and daughter go at it for Brooke siding with Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Eric (John McCook) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) to give the company back to the Forresters, while Hope’s plans to take over the company with Carter have blown up in her face.

In addition, Tom sprinkled in a very emotional moment between sisters Katie and Donna (Jennifer Gareis) where for the first time in eons they bring up their beloved mother, Beth Logan who died back in 2010. Katie says that she often thinks about her mom and how grief washed over her, which is also a tribute to Heather Tom’s real-life mom, Marie, who passed away last year in February of 2024. The moment was discussed during Heather’s recent visit and interview on The Michael Fairman Channel.
In story, Hope comes barreling into Brooke’s house berating her mother, “How could you do this to me?” Brooke responds, How could I do this to you?” At that point, Brooke scolds Hope saying she should never pulled what she did and adding,“I lost the love of my life because of it.”

Hope starts to get more infuriated and professes that all she ever tried to do was stand up for what was right and defend their family name. Brooke gasps, “I never wanted you to take over the company!” Hope says she and Carter made Brooke the CEO of the company because they thought she was on board with their plans.
That’s when Brooke cops to “I did it for Ridge! I took the CEO position to get the company back for Ridge!” Next, Hope accuses her mother of selling out. Brooke fumes,”Ridge left me because of it, Hope! I lost him!” Hope throws down on Brooke “That’s the only thing that matters to you, isn’t it? Ridge!” Hope starts to cry, “For once, I just wanted you to pick me.”
As Hope begins her onslaught of pointing out to her mother that Ridge has gone back for good to Taylor, Katie walks through the door and tells Hope to back off of her sister. At that point, Hope realizes Katie knew about Brooke’s plans to give the company back to Ridge. “My own family made a fool of me,” cries Hope. “Well, I really have lost everything, haven’t I? Even my own mother.”
Katie warns her to stop before she says something she’ll regret and can’t take back after Hope brings up Brooke and Deacon being her biological parents. Katie tells Hope that her mother has always been there for her. Hope says not today, “You abandoned me when I needed you the most.” Hope snarls and adds she wonders if Brooke begged, cried, and groveled at Ridge’s feet this time, adding, “I hope it was worth it!”

Brooke tells Hope she should have never should have taken over the company with Carter. She adds “And until you take responsibility for your actions, I have no sympathy for you whatsoever!” Brooke tells Hope she will not be spoken to this way and let her daughter, attack her in her own home. Hope asks her mom if she is kicking her out?
The fight escalates from there with Brooke coming down hard on Hope saying, “This was your choice, and you messed up. Just like you’ve messed up so many times in your life. Your marriage to Liam. Your relationship with Thomas, with Douglas. And now this, are you serious, Hope? This coup with Carter! You say you lost everything in your life, well I lost something too. I lost Ridge, and it’s all because of you! I blame you! Who are you? You are not my daughter! Get out! Get out of my house!”
Next, Hope begins to haul off and slap her mother, until Katie intervenes and stops her. Katie looks at her and say, “This is not who you are.” Hope begins to leave, but cries hysterically and Brooke pulls her daughter in for an embrace as Hope cries out, “I’m sorry, Mom. I’m sorry, I love you. I’ve lost everything. I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Mommy. I love you.” We fade to black.
It was a sad day for the Logan women and a great day for the Forrester women, harkening back to the very beginning of B&B when the high and mighty Stephanie Forrester always looked down at Brooke and the Logans. Now in 2025, what’s old becomes new again and Steffy and Taylor are in the driver’s seat with the company, and with Ridge, while the Logan women sabotaged themselves.
So, what did you think of the heavy emotional scenes on today’s B&B featuring Annika Noelle, Katherine Kelly Lang, and Heather Tom? Did you enjoy the episode? Let us know in the comment section, but first, in case you missed it, check out our interview with Heather on the special episode and her 35th anniversary daytime below, followed by a scene between Hope and Brooke
I absolutely was disgusted by Brooke’s groveling to Ridge (in front of Taylor to make it worse). How very demeaning. He just stands there with that smirk on his face-he makes me sick. And why would Eric sit there not saying a word with Ridge while Steffy spewed her nastiness at Carter, Hope & Brooke? Everyone blames Hope! She was not the instigator. Carter (who screwed Eric’s wife- Quinn with ZERO consequences) caused all of this. He makes me sick. He & Hope were not in love ever. What a joke. He dragged her into this with his big stupid ass ideas for Forester. He’s an attorney for God’s sake! Stay in your lane man. Daphne with her stupid facial expressions & little french accent, makes me sick-can’t wait til it comes out what she & Steffy did-the grand plan. And Donna should tell Eric that Ridge who must be 60 yrs. old should be living in his own house-not screwing Taylor at Eric’s. God. Ridge has no home of his own-he lives with the flavor of the month til it goes wrong then back to daddy’s (stepdaddy’s actually-since he’s a Maronne) And doesn’t Katie live next door to Eric? Those sisters cannot be happy about how Brooke is being treated.
Gloria…You said it all…and VERY, VERY PERFECTLY!!!!! Thank You. At this point, that damn Ridge is nothing but an overgrown, lovesick and wishy-washy CAVEMAN!!!!! Sometimes, I think GOD-AWFUL Steffy is THE MAN in her and Finn’s marriage!!!!! I mean…the way that she talks to, bosses around and belittles Finn. And don’t get me started on Taylor and that annoying and mannequin-looking Daphne (yep…a, uh, Thomas reference. I went there. LOL)!!!!! Oh. Make. It. Finally. Stop. BEYOND YUCK!!!!!
Yes Gloria is right. I can’t stand Steffy and her better than e everyone attitude. Finn has o backbone she tells him what he thinks and does, who does she think she is? Please payback for Steffy,Taylor and Ridge.
I agree with you Daphne looks and acts like a retard. Taylor look like she is trying to play grown up and those shoes are terrible.
Lorraine, I thought I was the only one who paid attention to Taylor’s five feet platform shoes. They are horrible and if she’s that short she’s just short.
I love the forester I’m team Forster when I do watch hope just like the moma had ever Forster her kid and sister husband just sickning
The Foresters have their share of tramps also do’nt forget Steffy and Taylor.
Steffy is the biggest Hippocratic person on there. She has interfered with so many marriages. She is a bully.
I agree ladies about Ridge. He never changes expressions. Also he just stands there and never responds. Talk do something…anything. LOL
I agree with you about all of this! As soon as Taylor came into the room,Hope should have stopped her groveling because that was so humiliating! Daphne just got got there and she already knows that Carter is such a remarkable man,give me a break! One thing that I will say..Heather Tom’s episode was refreshing compared to a regular episode. No endless repetition of the same dialogue and so much emotion from Brooke and Hope!
So glad I have dropped this show. Steffy shouldn’t be so happy, because Sheila and Luna are headed her way, to blow up her life and wipe that frigging smirk off her face! Taylor, the pathetic psychiatrist who needs to see a shrink herself, loses all self-respect when Ridge comes sniffing around. At some point, he will seek Brooke again and we will start that foolishness all over again. Will someone please remove BB from the EP position! I know, wishful thinking.
Hats off to Heather Tom great job ! The scenes with Brooke Hope and Katie were fantastic. We can only hope Brooke stops groveling to that fool Ridge the rich man child and I’m sorry but I just can’t connect with Rebecca buddig as Taylor and Steffy you seem to have forgotten all about Luna so you can return to the parent trap and finally Daphne has got to go she’s been here 7 minutes and has so much to say! Oh well I guess for once team Hope
It’s about time Hope told Brooke that she was sick of always coming in second to Ridge.
She has had so much pent up pain and betrayal over the years that her so called mother deserved to hear about.
After all look how she was conceived.
Brooke is disgusting in every way and her begging for her destiny is so typical of her lack of any self esteem and pathetic.
The same could be and is said about Taylor. You want to talk about pathetic and disgusting! In some ways, Hope helped to create the problems in her life. Carter was too damn quick, but she shouldn’t have to bare the brunt of the Forrester takeover. That was initiated by Carter.
It’s time for everyone to own up to their mess and move on!
Just 1 question, Hope says everything she has done since the take over. What has she done? I don’t recall her name on the LLC papers. The whole story line was a joke!
I agree her daughter should l d come first, hope should take decons name, and get therapy before she really does some harm to her self or others. Brooke needs to wake up and let go of her destiny she’s not young anymore she should move on and Ridge should get therapy too.
The episode was excellent! The scenes with Brooke and Hope were so raw and powerful. Both actresses were absolutely incredible! I cried at the end when Brooke stopped Hope from leaving and embraced her and Hope broke down apologizing. Fantastic job, Heather Tom!
I agree. I thought the acting was excellent.
Yes, wonderful scene. Initially, I hoped Brooke would slap the hell out of spoiled brat Hope, but I guess this was a better outcome.
Heather Tom how about an writing and producing and episode dedicated to getting Thomas and Hope back together as a couple and she marries him this time to drive Steffy and Ridge crazy.
I would love to see that!
Heather Tom how about writing and producing an episode dedicated to getting Thomas and Hope back together as a couple their chemistry is beautiful gorgeous flawless and breathtaking not only that but she should marry Thomas for love and prosperity so it can drive Steffy and Ridge crazy.
I do not want steffy and her skaggy mother to beat up in the logans. Didnt like the episode
Ridge and brooke belong together. Steffy acts high and mighty well i remember when she was very trampy acting. You need to change the direction this is going. Ive watched you from the beginning but will leave you if this continues. Make Finn keave steffy and marry hope.
The episode of the women did not tell the whole story about how Brooke never took responsibility for all the things she has done to her sister, daughters Hope is not a whole or conniving but Steffy is slept with father-in-law, Liam while he was married to Hope.Please get it right for once!!!!!!!!!
All of the comments above are not proper…
First of all this is a soap opera… not to be consumed and spit out in harsh words.
Remember Forester Creations belong to the Foresters and Steffie has every right to be upset with the Logans.. Brooke is always from the get go trying to win Ridge.
He is not some property to own. Ridge so gullible looking through that key hole and thinking that Booke is his destiny… hog wash… Brooke knew exactly where and what to do that’s why she was at that spot so Ridge would look and see her and think she is his destiny.
Hope just like her mother…use Thomas so he’d design beautiful clothes for her but refused to marry him… then making a play for Finn then finally kissing him… what is that… Hope is lucky Steffie didn’t deck her.
So all of you open your eyes.. LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE. And another thing Taylor is a good person… sure she shot Bill but then and again Bill was an A/H.
Steffi, Ridge, Eric and Taylor are and should always be the main characters.
REMEMBER THIS IS A SOAP OPERA IT IS NOT REAL… it’s wonderful actors!
God Bless all who act in BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL!
Makanani
Seriously. You say this is only a soap opera. You have made a one sided biased critique of a TV show. Brooke is and Eric are the only two originals and you do not name her in your line up. Really? God bless all who act in it, yet you only praise the Foresters, again seriously?
Very simply, you do not know what the hell you are talking about, especially who you call “the main characters” They are, especially Steffie, called Antagonists, look it up!
Oh, please! Taylor is a good person! She accused Brooke of the same thing she did and has done for years! She comes back to town with “BROKEN HEART SYNDROME,” and after wrapping her legs around Ridge for a “therapeutic session,” she is all cured! CRAP! She knew what she was doing!
Yess
Stephanie and her mom look so silly dancing and celebrating. And Taylor must don’t ever go to work. Please get a new storyline with Brooke and Ridge, how many more times are we going to watch that story about them breaking up and Brooke begging for Ridge to stay with her. And he deciding between her and Taylor.
They were Beautiful
Who was beautiful? I didn’t see anything of the sort!
What a sad state of affairs we’ve got here. I’m a fan of Heather Tom but she missed 2 opportunities. First, wouldn’t it have been great for women’s history month to celebrate by empowing women to stop all the groveling over men who are so clearly unworthy. Second, leaving out the more interesting mother and daughter, Luna and Poppy, that we’ve seen in a while in soapland.
I can’t believe a woman wrote, directed and acted in a story where women are glorified as bullies, applauded for grovelling to a man who has no moral compass and accept the behaviour that man who in 2024 can call an employee, and his step daughter the worst names possible.
Where else would that be allowed. What other woman would lower herself to do this.
I get so sick and tired of the Steffy, Brooke and Taylor bashing. These are actresses and they are playing a character on a show. I’m sure these ladies are not like their characters in real life. If you can’t separate them from their characters, quit watching the show
The same goes for you lady! But you said it right. They are actresses, playing a part, and their goal is to make you love, hate or relate to them and if you don’t do that in some respect, they are not doing their job. You are missing the whole idea of play-acting.
The episode was great with one exception….Hope shouldn’t have had to apologize to Brooke. Brooke told Ridge about the coupon behind Hope’s back. Then she LIED to Hope about accepting the CEO position. Then she stood there & let EVERYONE put all the blame for the coup on Hope, like she wrote up the papers herself. Brooke is PATHETIC! At some point it is time to have some self respect. Instead of turning tail & running from Ridge’s office, she should have turned to Taylor & said something about her being his SECOND choice. And also when Taylor spoke of having some class a comment about jumping into bed with Ridge at the drop of a hat could have been done.
Brooke needs a new man. Taylor needs a new man. I love Thorsten, but Ridge, not so much.
I loved the scenes Tom wrote. They were full of human emotions very well acted by these women. Hope’s a mess but Steffy is a terrible company leader…they both need to get a grip. But, they won’t…the Hope/Finn romance has to play out…whether we like it or not.
Excellent episode. I think it’s time for the Logan clan to make a stand. Steffy needs to be knocked down a peg or two. She is a negative presence, what she says go with everyone in the family. The men stand around and let’s her say and do anything, like it’s her way or the highway. It is getting really ridiculous with her and her nasty mean nature. All the men just now down to her. Stand up Logan women and fight for respect. Stand up Forrester men and carter speak up. Tell Seffy to sit her butt down she can’t control everything and everybody’s thoughts and actions. I know this is just a TV show, but some episodes do mirror real life.
I think Heather Tom did a great job hands down! Maybe Heather Tom should be writing the scripts and all that comes with that more often!
No Brooke blaming Hope was wrong she has gotten the short end of the stick. Steffy and Taylor are rich hypocrites.
The best fight that has been long over do. But I loved it when they hugged and realized they are still family and the bond of a Mother and Daughter who love each other. Emmys for them both.
Heather Tom should be head writer. Excellent show today.
Heather Tom did and excellent job writing the scenes and I hope this means Hope will get back to being herself because she’s been off the rails. There were much needed things to be said between Hope and Brooke and the escalation of tension between the women couldn’t have been more real. I’m just glad Katie was there to stop Hope from hitting her mom because that would have done permanent damage to the relationship. As for Steffy, she could definitely stand to humble herself but what Carter and Hope did was inexcusable. People keep saying Hope is to blame but it was Carter’s idea and he’s a grown man who knows right from wrong. He betrayed the family he so called loves for a piece of tail. Hope is not innocent, because she did egg him on but it was not her idea. I personally would never trust Carter and he would be fired, right along with Hope. That whole thing is unrealistic because Carter slept with Eric’s wife then turned around and stole the company – on what planet do people get away with stuff like that??? It also made my teeth grind to see Brooke begging Ridge – he’s not worth it. He’s played these two women against one another for years and they keep fighting over him, for what??? After Taylor went through that so called “broken heart syndrome” she should have had enough by now. They need to bring in more male actors because obviously there’s not enough to go around anytime two women keep playing ping poing with the same stale old man.
Hopes been of the rails bc of steffy she started on hope as a child, taught by her name sake and of course of taylor too. Steffy’s behaviour was never corrected and no accountability for her actions ever. And a person that’s be bullied like that will only take so much b4 “BOOM”well we got boom. And as for thomas no he played the game and brought the game to hope telling her she needed someone better than luam who cheated on her wirh his sister.he told liam he knew about him and his sister and hope forgave him time and time again. But liam couldn’t forgive her for a kiss. He called liam a fool. And he’d regret it, meaning he was going to marry hope and .ake her happy, which could of happened but, thomas was involved in the kidnapping of beth. Heather Tom could quite easily write all the wrongs from the other writers. I think brooke will start to leave LA and come back with a new man that loves her and just maybe be a better business savvy woman and have a fashion/cosmetic company and beat the Forresters at there on game. And as for Eric who thinks he’s the peacemaker, he’s not he showed his colours letting ridge,taylor and steffy bad mouth his wife yes his wife sister and hope, in her home he talks down to all logans and allows steffy to dissect Donna in her own home.
I have stopped watching! Steffy makes me want to throw up! Ridge is a Prostitute from one to another over night! Sorry !
Gloria, you are spot on! Preach!!!! Heather Tom is to be commended for such a great B&B episode. We saw how both families are affected. Heartache and joy. I can hardly wait for the rest of the ongoing story.
I am.discusted by Brook once again throwing herself at Ridge….gag me! And Taylor…does she ever work? She’s either at Forester where she doesn’t belong or it Eric’s home. And don’t get me started on why Ridge doesn’t buy his own home? He acts like a child either living with Stephie or Eric.its gross! Poor Donna! I m sure she wishes they would get their own place. Ridge and Taylor….grow up! And poor Hope. She gets attacked and blamed constantly for everything ! You writers need to give her a break or if will stop watching. Its getting told with Stephie and Ridge always on top! And Carter…shame on him. It was his idea to take over the company and couldn’t even admit it when they blamed Hope. He is NOT a good man!!!
Hats off to Heather Tom for a great episode!! I hope she’s is able to do more creative episodes as well! I can’t stand Steffy though!! She’s very self righteous and definitely lives up to her name!! It does seem very hypocritical to me that she’s undermined Hope in her personal life time and time again but yet is able to carry on in hers like the poor beautiful victim that everyone should bow down to!! And poor Will better watch out!! Luna is definitely gunning to get him in the sack!! Oh no! Then Electra is liable to end up in danger again…
Best episode of The bold & the beautiful. Brooke is such a brilliant actress.
This was the best episode in a long time. The next should be Brooke finally getting some guts and finally leaving the Forresters alo ne .. Steffy needs to be outed with the Carter/Daphne ordeal… I hope Sheila puts her behind in check.. Her mother is a murderer too and so is Steffy. Taylor killed Thornes wife and Steffy killed her own cousin. Why does everyo ne see m to forget their crimes? Harping on the Logans being trash from the valley, really… They ar e just as twisted. Steffy slept with Bill her boyfriends dad, became an addict and killed her cousin. Her brother Thomas killed somebody too, and Taylor’s Ole hypocrite behind…
All of u need to get a life
I’m sick of Brooke,Ridge and Taylor they need to exit the show for i hardly watch B&B like i used to because it’s always something going on and Ridge definitely needs go and o i almost forgot Shelia that is why I don’t watch it anymore like I used to
Heather has out done herself. This episode could not have been any better. The writing and directing was no less than excellent. Congratulations Heather on a job very well done.
This was the best B&B episode I’ve seen thus far.
That was the best episode since Rick n Maya let Heather write more scenes didn’t know Hope can act so good job well done ladies

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy and Carter Get Lame Excuses From Their Spouses, and Try to Shake Off Their Night Together
If you caught the Wednesday, August 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, and if you were Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor), and your wife, who literally took off, threw of her wedding ring and abandoned their marriage to head to Paris, shows back up saying she overreacted and wants to be with him, would you bother to even take her back?
As for Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), now that Finn (Tanner Novlan) is giving her the spiel about how he took her for granted, how he is so sorry for not listening to her, and that Sheila will never be in their lives again, would you want to listen to that, either, after so many broken promises?
That’s the situation hungover Steffy and Carter found themselves, while still reeling from the seeming fact that they had sex the night before while drunk in the Forrester Creations CEO office.
Courtesy/CBS
STEFFY AND CARTER GETS EARFULS
Daphne (Murielle Hilare) doesn’t understand why Carter is being so distant, and he says, “You said I wasn’t family.” She wants to put all of what she said and did behind them and now explore other ways to have a child. Carter seems hurt and annoyed.
Back at the cliff house, Steffy is so upset between sleeping with Carter and getting drunk, and Finn and his mother, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) in Monaco. She tells Finn, “I need you to stand up for me. I can’t live like this. I won’t.” Finn begs her not to let “one terrible mistake” (get it!?) tear us apart.
Finn promised Steffy he will get a restraining order on Sheila if it calls for it. He understands why Steffy is so scared of Sheila after she shot her … and him. In the closing moments of the episode, Finn pronounces how lucky he is to have the “perfect wife.” To which a rattled Steffy in tears goes, “Oh, I’m not perfect.”

STEFFY’S GUILT
Steffy is losing her grip at this moment as Finn says he wants to step up and be the husband he deserves. Along with Daphne, I kind of want to kick Finn to the curb, too. Then Finn lays it on real thick and adds, “You’re pure, you’re honest, you’re loyal.” Steffy interrupts, “Not quite.”
Suddenly a guilt-ridden Steffy says to Finn, “There’s something I need to tell you.” Can she actually get the words out about getting drunk and having sex with Carter …or, will she keep it under wraps so we can have months of the line “one terrible mistake?”
Take a look at some of the scenes between Steffy and Finn from today’s episode below.
Now let us know: would you bother to take back Daphne or Finn, if you were Carter and Steffy? Would you like to see Steffy just blurt out she had sex with Carter to her husband? Weigh-in via the comment section.

On the Tuesday, August 18 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, viewers were tuned-in to see if Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), who were were both on benders, wound up having sex in the Forrester Creations CEO office.
As the Monday, August 17 episode concluded, Carter and Steffy shared a close moment where it looked like they would kiss. Now in the pick up which starts the morning after, Steffy awakens from the couch in the office, and realizes she has no clothes on and is mortified to see Carter on the end of the couch also naked and under blankets.
In that moment, Steffy realizes they had sex, and begins to unravel to Carter as she scrambles to get dressed: “We shouldn’t have done this. Oh my God, I shouldn’t have done this!”

STEFFY RACES TO GET HOME
Steffy’s panic of the situation escalates when she finds her phone, and sees multiple text messages from her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), desperately trying to reach her. He told Steffy he was on his way home from Monaco.
Suddenly, a hungover Carter speaks up and agrees. He says to Steffy they made a terrible mistake and wanted to talk about it, but Steffy kiboshed any discussion, not dealing with Carter, and racing home to be with her kids and Finn. As a disheveled Steffy ran out of Forrester, Carter stayed behind to straighten up the office and get rid of any remnants of their drunken binge.
Just then, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) showed up as Carter is shocked. She apologized for running out on him, and details how when she got to the airport to board the plane to Paris, she realized she couldn’t leave him. She loved him too much, and asks him to please forgive her and her, “terrible mistake.” Daphne hugs Carter and he looks like a man who has no idea what to do or make of this entire situation in the moment.

WHAT WILL BE THE REPERCUSSIONS OF CARTER AND STEFFY’S DRUNKEN NIGHT TOGETHER?
Cut to: Steffy comes home and runs into her mother, Taylor (Rebecca Budig). She explains what happened with Finn and Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) in Monaco. Next, Steffy details how she took off her wedding ring after Taylor noticed it was no longer on her finger. Just then, Finn arrives. Taylor leaves the two to talk. Finn begs for Steffy’s forgiveness and the episode comes to an end with Steffy facing away from Finn and towards the camera, trying to figure out what to do next. Take him back?
Now the real story begins: it would appear that the intent was to have Carter and Steffy face long-lasting consequences of their drunken night together. So that, Steffy would become pregnant with Carter’s child, which would cause the ripple effect in Carter’s marriage to Daphne, who is unable to carry a child.
One other theory, unless, Carter and Steffy believe they had sex, but they passed out in compromising positions but nothing ever happened? Perhaps one of them, or both will have flashbacks of them carrying on together on the couch? Were they set up? Stay tuned.
So, we ask you. What happens from here? Steffy gets pregnant with Carter’s child? Does Steffy goes back to Finn? Carter goes back with Daphne? They really never had drunken sex? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, take a look below, and a bit of what went down when Steffy and Carter realize what happened between them.

In what has been heralded as one of the best in-ring promo in a longtime, Chelsea Green got her flowers, with the WWE Universe rallying around her during the Friday’s August 14 edition of WWE SmackDown on USA Network. In question, was what would be the fate of the WWE’s Interim Women’s World Championship belt that Green won in a ladder match at SummerSlam earlier in August.
The issue: in an unbelievably real-life continued streak of bad luck for Green, she suffered an injury during the April 7 edition of SmackDown in a tag match match-up teaming with Tiffany Stratton against the Women’s tag team champs, Fatal Influence. During the match, Green broke her orbital bone after taking the Fatal Flaw from FI’s Lainey Reid, when she landed awkwardly on Green’s face.
From there: Green knew she was also going to have to take time off to recover, but she, nor the WWE Universe, wanted to see her have to relinquish the title because of it. So, when SmackDown GM Nick Aldis came to the ring to tell Chelsea she has to give up the belt, an impassioned plea from Green went over with huge pop to the crowd and those at home, plus changed Aldis’ mind.

CHELSEA GREEN STANDS HER GROUND
Green expressed, “I knew when I climbed that ladder and I took that title, I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Because every single time something good and magical happens to me in this business, it’s followed by something devastating. That’s just my story, isn’t it? That’s just Chelsea Green, the comic relief. The perfect opponent for the rest of the girls. Never the champion. Never the QB1.”
Then, Chelsea launched into the sacrifices she has made, and how she came to work and always did her best, even when she was discounted. Green stood her ground with Aldis that she earned the title and that until someone takes it off of her, it belongs to her! Green also appealed to Aldis’ human side after what he accomplished at SummerSlam, too. The GM laced up his boots and wrestlers for the first time in three years and in front of his young son, against Gunther.
Aldis heard the message loud and clear. He decided to ignore his GM formal duty, and agreed to give Green 30 days to get cleared before forcing her to have to relinquish the title. The crowd broke out in “Yes!” chants (circa Daniel Bryan).
MATT CARDONA SAVES HIS WIFE FROM GUNTHER
However, the drama didn’t stop here! Oh, no! Gunther interrupted the moment and threw insults at Aldis and Green, until none other than Matt Cardona came out from the back to defends his wife! It was great to see Cardona and Green, real-life marrieds, in an angle together on SmackDown. Cardona and Gunther went at each other, with ultimately Cardona getting the worst of it which led to an impromptu match!
Mickie James, former WWE superstar and wife of Nick Aldis took to social media on Sunday and gave high marks to Green’s promo: “Congratulations to Chelsea Green for delivering not just one of her greatest promos…. But legitimately one of THE GREATEST PROMOS I’ve ever watched. I felt every moment. She felt every word. That is how it should be done. You are a star my love. Everyone should take notes.”
Watch Chelsea Green’s talked about moment from Friday Night SmackDown below.
Now weigh-in: did you love Chelsea Green’s promo spot where she spoke of coming back from injury, being the butt of jokes, working hard to gain respect, and not willing to easily part with the highly-coveted Women’s World Title, because she got injured in a match?
