**Question 1: Does Forrester’s Revenue Collapse After Zende Leaves the Company?**
Zende’s departure quickly becomes a major problem for Forrester Creations.
Ridge is already furious that such a talented designer chose to walk away, but the true consequences soon become impossible to ignore.
Sales begin falling, several important designs lose momentum, and Forrester’s revenue reportedly drops sharply.
Ridge is completely stunned by how quickly the company begins struggling without Zende.
The situation becomes even worse when Eric discovers the financial damage.
He immediately blames Ridge and RJ, accusing them of allowing personal favoritism and family conflict to drive away one of Forrester’s strongest designers.
**Question 2: How Will Ridge and RJ Fight Back Against Logan?**
Eric may demand that Ridge fix the situation before Forrester loses even more ground.
But with Zende now strengthening Logan, the competition could become extremely dangerous.
Ridge and RJ may decide that they need a bold new fashion line to prove Forrester can survive without him.
RJ could be given the responsibility of creating a major collection, putting enormous pressure on him to deliver.
At the same time, Ridge may try to recruit another talented designer or even persuade Zende to return.
However, Katie and Hope are unlikely to let Zende go easily.
With Logan gaining momentum, Ridge may realize that this is no longer just a family disagreement—it has become a full fashion war.
**Will Ridge and RJ successfully rebuild Forrester, or will Zende help Logan become the new dominant force in fashion?**
