Katie Logan’s protective instincts ignite like wildfire when she discovers the terrifying ordeal her son, Will, recently endured—an incident that left him shaken, confused, and forever changed. The moment Katie hears the truth, the warmth in her eyes turns to fire, and her heart pounds with both fear and fury. Someone had put her child in harm’s way. And in Katie’s world, that’s unforgivable. She doesn’t wait for explanations or context—her mind immediately races to one name: Steffy Forrester. To Katie, it all fits. Will had been spending more time around the Forrester estate, and Steffy’s constant involvement in volatile family drama made her, in Katie’s eyes, an unstable influence. Katie storms into Forrester Creations like a force of nature, ready to unleash hell

“Were you even thinking about the children, Steffy?!” Katie demands, her voice echoing through the office, stunning everyone into silence. “Or were you too busy playing power games with the men in your life to notice a child was in danger?” Steffy, blindsided and clearly rattled, tries to hold her ground. “Katie, I would never put Will in danger,” she insists. But Katie isn’t interested in denial. The only thing she sees is the fear in her son’s eyes and the possibility that the Forresters—once again—let chaos reign.

But as Katie continues her crusade, something isn’t adding up. Ridge quietly suggests that Katie might be pointing her anger in the wrong direction. Even Brooke, torn between her sisters and the Forrester family, tries to mediate. “Katie, I know how you feel. But are you sure this is about Steffy?” she asks gently. Katie brushes her off. “She was there. Will was with her when it happened. That’s enough for me.”

Still, questions start creeping in. Details Will shares in fragments suggest that someone else may have orchestrated the danger—someone who knew exactly where Will would be and who used that knowledge to manipulate a much larger scheme. As Katie digs deeper, she finds whispers of a security breach… of a stranger seen around the Forrester grounds… and then, finally, a chilling realization: it wasn’t Steffy’s recklessness that endangered Will—it was someone much more deliberate.

The real culprit? A disgraced former associate of Bill Spencer’s, seeking revenge and using Will as leverage to get under his skin. The man, operating in the shadows, had manipulated the situation to frame the Forresters, counting on old rivalries to cloud judgment. And it worked—at least for a while.

When Katie finally learns the truth, she’s devastated. Her rage had been misdirected. Her accusations, sharp as blades, had cut into Steffy’s dignity—and more importantly, driven a wedge in a family already stretched thin. Filled with guilt, Katie goes to Steffy to apologize. It’s not an easy conversation. “I was so scared,” Katie admits, voice trembling. “I lashed out at the one person I thought I could blame… but I was wrong.” Steffy, though still hurt, accepts the apology with grace. “We all would do anything to protect our children, Katie. I get it. But we also have to trust each other.”

The moment marks a shift—not just between the two women—but within Katie herself. She realizes that sometimes, protecting someone doesn’t just mean fighting for them. It means having the courage to step back, think clearly, and look beyond the obvious.

But if Katie thinks the nightmare is over, she’s wrong. Because now that the real enemy has been identified, a new threat looms—and this one isn’t finished using Will as a pawn in a much bigger game…
