Will drops in to see Bill with lunch. Bill teases him. Will drops mail on the table and among the letters is another one from Luna. Bill asks how his job is going. Will grins that it’s been amazing. As they eat, Bill remarks on Will’s puppy dog look on his face. He knows that’s not about fashion, “So, it has to be a beautiful girl.” Will admits there’s a special girl in his life. Bill asks, “And she works at the dress farm?” Will sighs, “She works at Forrester.” Bill asks if it’s Pam. Will tells his exasperating dad that her name is Electra. Electra Forrester. Bill asks, “You’re dating a Forrester?!”
In Forrester’s design office, Ivy tells Electra her jewelry is very special. She says she’s been hearing that a lot lately. Ivy guesses it’s from Will Spencer. She’s really falling for that boy, isn’t she? Electra says guys like Will don’t exist where she’s from. He looks like a movie star. She’s really into him. Ivy thinks he’s equally smitten with her. Electra just hopes her past doesn’t ruin things.
In the main office, Eric tells Ridge and Steffy that he asked them to run his business with him, but he’s not comfortable with firing Hope. Ridge reminds him her line was failing for quite a while now. Eric says that’s not what this is about… Hope’s family has been there for years. Steffy says she had no choice after what she did. Eric says she claims it was accidental. Steffy isn’t buying it. First, she toyed with Thomas and now she’s set her sights on her husband. “I just feel sorry for the next unlucky guy on Hope’s radar.”
In Hope’s cabin, she and Carter complain about Steffy and Ridge tossing her out. Carter vows he’ll never stop fighting for her. Hope asks, “But how do we stop them?” Carter shakes his head but then a lightbulb goes off. “I have an idea.” She asks, “What?” He tells her, “I know exactly what we’re going to do.”
In the design office, Ivy reminds Electra to focus on fun and Will. Electra worries about running away and holding onto a huge secret. Ivy tells her she has nothing to be ashamed of. Electra asks, “What if people catch on.” Ivy says they won’t. Electra wonders, “What if Will finds out? Will he feel the same way about me?”
In the main office, Zende wants to make another pitch for Hope For the Future. Steffy tells him it’s not happening. It’s No for the Future. Zende insists the spring collection will be a hit. Ridge tells him it’s not a reflection on him as a designer. Eric doesn’t want him to get discouraged. Steffy says, “This isn’t you. It’s Hope.”
At the cabin, Carter brings his briefcase into Hope’s place and opens it. He says Ridge wanted him to focus on his job and make a new LLC for Forrester. Hope notes that’s part of his job description. Carter confirms it. Hope thinks it’s alluring how deeply he cares about everything. She asks what the LLC has to do with anything. Carter says this could be the answer to everything. Ridge and Steffy put it right in their hands, “They have no clue.”
At Bill’s place, he asks Will when he’s going to meet his new young lady. Will says they’re not dating. Bill gawps, “You haven’t taken her out yet?! What are you waiting for?” He offers to give him his credit card, the black card, so she thinks he’s a baller. Will can tell she’s not impressed by that kind of stuff. Bill says they all are. Will grins that he wants to get to know everything there is to know about Electra.

In the design office, Electra worries that her secret could change Will’s mind about her. He’ll never see her the same way again. Ivy thinks she’s panicking over nothing. Electra says it’s not nothing; it’s her life, her future. Ivy vows to protect her. Electra asks, “What if you can’t?” The jewelry line is getting worldwide attention. What if he sees it. “What if he finds me?!”
In an undisclosed location, Electra’s stalker looks at her on his laptop and smiles to himself.
In the design office, Ridge and Steffy assure Zende they’ll find a place for him, but Hope’s finished. Steffy doesn’t want to hear her name again. After Zende files out, Steffy says he’ll be fine and so will Hope, who will find another man to obsess over.

At Bill’s place, he goes through his mail and discovers the new letter from Luna. Bill reads that she’s only allowed one letter a week and she’s writing them all to her. He’s the only one who gets her and understands how growing up in turmoil can damage a person. They’ve both done things they regret, which is why she thinks they bonded. Those memories are keeping her from losing her mind in prison. She misses him, and hopes he misses her too. She’s never met anyone like him. Bill flashes to telling her she’ll always have a special place in his heart. He grabs the lighter to set the missive on fire, but can’t do it. He balls it up and throws it across the room.
In jail, Luna sits on her cot leaning up against the wall and thinks. Later, she stands up and smiles.
Will finds Electra in the design office. He says he was at his dad’s place and told him all about her. They kiss and smile at each other. Will tells her she’s an excellent kisser. She throws her arms around him.
In his room, the stalker tells Electra’s photo on the laptop, “I’m comin’ to get you, Electra.”
In Hope’s cabin, Carter tells her she’s not done at Forrester. She asks, “How?” Carter shows her that the certificate that states the management structure at the LLC. In other words, who’s in charge. Hope muses, “So whatever name gets written down there in charge of Forrester Creations…” Carter tells her they never look over these type of documents. He can just fill it in, and they’ll just sign it. Hope recaps that whoever is the manager of the LLC, runs Forrester Creations. Carter says, “As long as they sign it. Yes.” Hope realizes he’s talking about taking over Forrester Creations. She says, “Carter Walton, CEO, does have a nice ring to it.” He tells her, “We could run it together.” They kiss. Carter’s not sure he can deceive Ridge and Eric like this. Hope says he’s been the brains behind the company for so long, but he’s undervalued and underappreciated, just like the Logans. The Forresters take him for granted and are letting Steffy drive the company into the ground. She doesn’t want to see that happen. No one else is gong to stand up to them. If this is a chance to turn it all around, maybe they should take it. “This could be it. This could be our chance. Let’s do this. We’ll do it together.” Carter picks up a pen and signs his name on the document.
