Will Brings Bill to Tears — and Deke Keep a Secret From Brooke and Ridge

At Forrester, Electra tells RJ how much she wishes this situation between him and Will didn’t happen. He assures her it’s not her fault, it’s Will’s.

Electra hates that Will hit RJ, who smirks that the Spencer is insecure, that’s why he punched him. Electra doesn’t defend her boyfriend, but reminds RJ that they’re back together. He questions her judgment, knowing she’s moving in with him too. “I think you’re making a big mistake.” Electra tells RJ he’s handsome and charming but… He finishes, “Will is your first love.” She nods.

Hush Hush

At Brooke’s place, Hope and Deke are discussing her decision to sign on with Logan when Brooke and Ridge come in. Brooke asks what’s going on and Ridge wants to know why Hope took a leave of absence from Forrester. Hope doesn’t think he should be surprised and complains about being strung along. Ridge insists they planned to bring back… but if she’s taking a leave, maybe that’s not what she wants.

Hope jabbers about figuring out what’s next in her life. Ridge points out that Katie left and now look at her…she has a fashion company with no designer or focus.

Welcome Aboard

Will strolls into Logan to greet his parents and updates them on his firing. Bill is absolutely delighted when he explains he punched Ridge and Brooke’s son, RJ. Katie looks horrified.

Katie supports Will, despite not loving that it got physical. Brooke’s son needs to respect Will. Bill grunts that Brooke needs to respect her as well. Will drops the news that Electra is moving in with him. Bill and Katie ooh and ahh… and then start campaigning for Will to come and work with them.

Will entertains the idea, but Bill would have to give him his “asks.” He jokes that he wants a seven-figure salary, a corner office and stop options for starters. Bill reminds him he has a motorcycle and beach house. Turning serious, Will says Electra will be happy for him. Bill asks for confirmation that he’s joining the team. Will loves messing with them, but he’d be proud to work for his family’s company. They welcome him aboard with hugs.

The Final Scenes

In the Forrester showroom, RJ warns Electra that first loves don’t always work out. She shrugs that sometimes they do. RJ smirks that Will is going to assume he’s coming onto her. He won’t, because he respects her too much, but it will be hard knowing he can’t hold her. Electra reminds him he has a fan club of women who would love to date him. He smiles and asks her not to forget how special she is.

Over at Brooke’s, she and Ridge go on about how awful Logan is until they decide to leave and have lunch with Eric. Once alone, Hope reminds Deke that it has to remain secret that they’ve joined Logan. She reveals that she plans to use her name – Hope Logan – for their new line. She’s so excited for the both of them.

At Logan, Bill lets Will know how much it means to them for him to work there and become the Spencer man he was mean to be. He wants all his boys at the company. Choking up, he says it’s a dream for him. Wiping away tears, Bill credits Katie for making this happen. He tells Will that Katie has a score to settle with Brooke, and he has one with RJ. Nothing will stop them. They all embrace.
