Steffy’s decision to fire Hope comes into question as Will and Electra get closer in recap for November 7, 2024. It’s a new day in Los Angeles and Hope (Annika Noelle) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) are beaming after spending their first night together. “You were incredible,” she tells him.

He promises he will be there for her in the good times and bad. “Always,” he says. At Forrester Creations, Eric (John McCook) asks Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) if she’s sure about her decision to fire Hope.

He wants to know if Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) supports it, but Ridge dodges the question by saying he supports his daughter’s decision. Zende (Delon De Metz) puts away his new drawings, telling Katie (Heather Tom) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) that he doesn’t understand how they pulled the plug on the line when they did. Brooke says it was a personal attack on Hope.

Lainey (Heidi Engerman) and Toni (Jasmine Dampier), two of the Forrester interns, see Will (Crew Morrow) working in the office and comment on how cute he is. He tries to make a joke and they laugh politely, but there’s no mistaking the look in Lainey’s eyes. She likes him.

Lainey invites him to join her at Toni’s new apartment later. Electra (Laneya Grace) walks in and Will makes the introduction. Lainey is instantly jealous, telling Electra they all have to start somewhere.

She doesn’t see how Will is smiling at Electra. Zende can’t believe Steffy did this to the line, believing she neve.
