What Happened Previously on B&B

After Katie (Heather Tom) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) confronted each other again, Katie told her sister she was no longer welcome at Logan offices. Brooke confided in Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and told him that she felt Katie was turning her back on her. That she said such horrible things about her, bringing up what happened between them in the past. Brooke felt Katie was being too sensitive.

Ridge thought Katie would come around once her fashion house aspirations took a stumble. Because it wasn’t an easy feat to start one. While Brooke and Ridge consoled each other, Bill (Don Diamont) and Katie did the same. Katie couldn’t believe that her sister wouldn’t support her.

After Bill left to tackle a Spencer issue, Katie started overthinking things. She began to let her insecurities about not being good enough get the better of her. Bill came back and hyped her back up. Before long, Katie was telling herself that she could pull this whole thing off.

At the beach house, Dylan (Sydney Bullock) shared her appreciation for Will (Crew Morrow) letting her move in temporarily. After she thanked Will with a hug, Electra (Laneya Grace) quickly grew jealous or territorial and reminded Dylan that Will was her boyfriend. Dylan played it off innocently, but later spied a shirtless Will outside. Should Electra be worried?
