For fans, itâs one of those days at Por Creations where everything seems normal, but itâs not. On Mondayâs episode of PMBB, Brooke walks into the design office, probably expecting to chat about some fabric choices or maybe have a look at a new collection. Instead, what she finds leaves her absolutely stunned. She steps into a private moment between Carter and Hope, and itâs far from innocent. Carter is shirtless, Hope is half-dressed, and the scene is crystal clearâthese two were seconds away from something they definitely were not supposed to be doing in the workplace.
Now, Brooke might not be the best person to tell them itâs wrongâitâs not like she herself ever followed all the rules. But she is definitely shocked.
This is Brooke weâre talking about, so you know sheâs going to have a lot to say about what she just saw. Sheâs reeling from the shock but also frustrated that her daughter is putting herself in this position again. Hopeâs history with complicated relationships is less than fascinating, and now here she is, getting tangled up in another situation thatâs sure to cause problems.
Of course, Hope tries to explain. She might admit that what just happened was new for both of themâthis was the first time they were about to take things to a passionate level, but Brookeâs interruption stopped it before it could go too far. According to Hope, this is not something thatâs been brewing for a while; Carter and she had not crossed any boundaries before today. But even if this is brand new, it doesnât make it any less scandalous in Brookeâs eyes. And honestly, she has a pointâitâs happening in the workplace, and anyone could have walked in.
And hereâs the thing: what if someone else had caught them? Brooke is quick to point out that theyâre playing with fire by sneaking around at the office. Imagine if Steffy had been the one to walk through that door! They cannot afford to be this reckless if they want to keep things under wraps.
For now, Carter is about to get a verbal slap from Brooke. Sheâs not just worried about the possible damage to Hopeâs reputation; sheâs thinking about Carterâs position at the company. He has been a strong defender of Hope for the Future, standing behind the brand with everything heâs got. But now, if word gets out, it could wreck everything theyâve worked for.
Brooke isnât just concerned about the personal side of this; she knows that, professionally, this could lead to major fallout. People arenât going to take Carter seriously if they think heâs involved in something scandalous, and it could hurt Hopeâs future at the company as well.
And then thereâs Liam. Brooke hasnât forgotten about him, and deep down, she probably still believes that Hopeâs true happiness lies with him. After all, if thereâs still a chance for Hope and Liam to work things out, shouldnât they try?
To be honest, all the men Hope has had her eyes on after Liam have been a bundle of messes anyway. So, itâs only natural for Brooke to think Hope is causing chaos again. Itâs only a matter of time before the news about Hope and Carterâs romance gets out, and when it does, you can bet itâs going to shake things up in a big way.
Brooke might already be predicting that this relationship is heading for disaster, and honestly, she might not be wrong. Thereâs just so much at stake.
