**Question 1: Does Ridge Discover a Contract Clause That Could Stop Zende From Joining Logan?**
Katie and Hope are thrilled that Zende is seriously considering joining Logan.
They know his talent could give their company a major advantage while creating a huge loss for Forrester Creations.
At Forrester, Ridge is furious.
He refuses to accept the idea of Zende strengthening a rival company and immediately begins searching for a way to stop him.
Then Ridge discovers something unexpected.
Hidden inside Zende’s contract is a clause that may prevent him from immediately working for another fashion house.
Ridge wastes no time telling Zende.
Zende is completely stunned.
He believed he was free to leave Forrester and start a new chapter with Logan.
**Question 2: Can Zende Still Find a Way to Join Logan?**
Zende may accuse Ridge of using legal technicalities to control him.
He could insist that the clause is unfair and challenge whether it can actually be enforced.
Katie and Hope may quickly bring in lawyers to review the agreement and search for a loophole.
Perhaps the restriction only lasts for a limited period, or maybe Forrester violated another part of the contract first.
If so, Zende could still have a path to Logan.
Meanwhile, Ridge may believe he has won, but his move could make Zende even more determined to leave.
The conflict may soon turn into a legal battle between Forrester and Logan.
**Will Ridge successfully block Zende from joining Logan, or will Katie and Hope find a loophole that frees him from the contract?**
