Carter Walton invites Ivy Forester back to Los Angeles, raising questions about his true motives regarding her jewelry line and Liam Spencer.

Ivy and her niece, Electra Forester, are set to present their successful jewelry designs at Forester Creations, potentially to co-promote with Hope for the Future.

Tensions rise as Steffy and Ridge discuss Carter’s unexpected enthusiasm for Hope for the Future, despite poor sales performance.

Carter appears to be pursuing a romantic relationship with Hope, making promises that suggest he is interested in more than just business.

Ivy’s return sparks speculation that she may distract Liam from rekindling his relationship with Hope, as past romantic connections between Ivy and Liam resurface.

Eric Forester listens to Ivy’s complaints about Steffy’s professionalism, which could lead to significant changes within Forester Creations.

Carter’s actions may indicate a strategic plan to undermine Steffy while positioning himself as the better option for Hope, potentially complicating the dynamics between the characters.
