Thomas: Charlie, are you sure you can do this? Hack into a security system?
Charlie: Well, technically it’s not hacking. I mean, as– as head of security at forrester, I’m considered an authorized user.
Steffy: Forrester, sure, but we’re talking about the private residence.
Charlie: I set it up. I mean, I hung all the cameras myself. Carefully, precisely, to get the exact right exposure. I think you can consider me authorized.
Steffy: It doesn’t matter if you’re authorized or not. We need you to access the footage. We need proof that brooke kissed deacon.
Brooke: So you really believe my secret’s safe?
Hope: I do. You know, douglas says, stop talking about santa, right? And my dad promised not to tell anyone.
Brooke: Nobody else can ever know.
Hope: Especially not ridge.
Taylor: No matter what, I’m here for you. You know that. And that means that I am here for your wife, too. So if there’s anything that I can do.
Ridge: I–I appreciate all of that more than you know, but I’m actually not here as a patient. I’m here as a friend.
Taylor: Okay, fine. Listen, I can’t help myself. It’s the setting.
Ridge: I get it. Are you happy you moved back?
Taylor: Yeah. It’s the best decision I ever made.
Zende: Look, grace, I appreciate your support. I do, and I agree with you, I think paris and I could be very happy together. What am I saying? We are happy together now. We have a lot of fun. Well, we don’t have is the responsibility of commitment. And if that happens one day, great. But in the meantime, I’m fine with keeping things loose.
Paris: Well, you shouldn’t be. Trust me, zende. Keeping it loose? A bad idea.
Grace: Zende is who my daughter should share her life with. You are an older man who was engaged to her sister. End it with paris or I’ll go to ridge.
Paris: Carter, more wine?
Carter: Thank you.
Paris: So, you want to tell me why you’ve been acting so mysterious? What’s going on in that handsome head of yours?
Carter: Am I being mysterious?
Paris: A little bit.
Carter: I guess everything about the two of us, these feelings we developed… it’s been a bit of a mystery.
Paris: Something that neither of us expected, that’s for sure.
Carter: And it’s also something we’ve kept from everybody. It’s time for that to change.
Ridge: Here’s one of kelly on her birthday.
Taylor: Oh, oh, that is so cute. Steffy never sent that to me, would you?
Ridge: I’ll try. Of course.
Taylor: Too many birthdays missed, too many holidays.
Ridge: Well, not anymore.
Taylor: Not anymore.
[ Both laughing ] Makes me happy to see you smiling.
Ridge: Well, it’s been difficult lately.
Taylor: Yeah. Because of whatever it is that’s going on with brooke.
Brooke: I just have to trust you’re right. You know, and believe that nobody else will learn what happened.
Hope: Yeah. I mean there’s really no reason anyone should.
Brooke: Yeah, it’s just kind of hard not to be concerned. You know, knowing that taylor’s back in town and probably waiting in the sidelines, waiting for something bad for ridge and me to happen and thomas and steffy egging them on. I really don’t think that those two would care if my marriage were to fall apart. As long as their mother had… had another chance with ridge.
Thomas: Still sleeping soundly.
Steffy: Thanks.
Thomas: Yeah. So, how are we doing here?
Charlie: Now, I got the ip address. Just need the password, which is “lemon bars.” That’s it. I’m in.
Steffy: What? You are?
Charlie: Oh, yeah. We got live cameras here. We got a library, we got settings. Let’s see how far back the videos are saved. You say you want to go to new year’s eve?
Thomas: Yeah, yeah. Brooke was having a gathering. Deacon should be there and hope and liam too.
Steffy: Yeah, I think they left around the same time.
Thomas: Okay, yeah. Well, then we need to know if deacon came back.
Charlie: Let’s find out. Kim is now demonstrating her congestion.
Zende: A bad idea?
Grace: Yes, a bad idea. I’m just trying to–
Zende: Come in!
Sequoyah: Hey, zende.
Zende: Hey, sequoyah.
Sequoyah: So, I’m heading to my fitting now, but it shouldn’t take too long. We still on for tonight.
Zende: Definitely.
Sequoyah: Great. My turn to treat this time. No arguments.
Zende: Nope. None. None at all. I’ll see you later.
Sequoyah: Bye.
Zende: Bye. Before you say anything–
Grace: I’m not.
Zende: Your body language is.
Grace: Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I don’t get what you and paris are doing.
Zende: Look. Grace. Paris and I, we have an understanding, and please don’t be mad at her. It is not a crime to not want to settle down, especially at her age. And besides, I’m the one seeing other people, not paris.
Paris: So, what are you saying? You’re ready to start telling people about us, which I’m not totally opposed to, but we don’t really know what this is yet? If there’s a future here.
Carter: I can see it. A future with you. I realize it would be complicated, but I know it will be worth it.
Paris: I think you’re right. A future with you… I could see it too.
Ridge: Did you get it?
Taylor: I did. Oh my gosh, you’re right.
Ridge: You know the best part?
Taylor: What?
Ridge: His team lost 6-1 and he didn’t care at all. Isn’t that cute?
Taylor: Yes.
Ridge: This is nice. Thank you for making it easy.
Taylor: It’s always easy with us, right? I’m glad I can be here. You’ve… you’ve been going through a rough time carrying a heavy weight.
Ridge: Oh, I’m just building muscle. Summer’s coming.
Taylor: Oh, is that what you’re doing?
Ridge: Yeah.
Taylor: Is that how you got your thick skull?
Ridge: Hey.
Taylor: Hey. Oh, ridge. Whatever it is that brooke is going through, I… I know what a loving and committed husband you are to her. Whatever it is, she’s damn lucky to have you.
Charlie: Well, what do you know? A new suspect emerges.
Thomas: Suspect?
Charlie: Yeah, it’s a nefarious sort lurking at brooke’s doorstep on the day in question.
Steffy: Oh, no. It kind of looks like she’s getting a delivery.
Thomas: Yeah.
Steffy: We’re looking for something later in the night.
Charlie: You know, as a professional, I’m–I’m going to jot this down, okay? So, you got a pad and a paper anywhere? You got– ow!
Steffy: Oh, sorry. Damn cactus strikes again.
Charlie: Yeah. One request? Can we remove all dangerous plant life from the immediate vicinity? Thank you very much.
Thomas: Okay, do you want me to take over, charlie?
Charlie: I’m–I’m– I’m trained to push through the pain, thank you very much.
Thomas: All right.
Charlie: Okay, here we go. Okay, we got hope and liam leaving, carrying two very sleepy children.
Steffy: What about deacon? I thought he left?
Charlie: Affirmative. There he goes.
Thomas: Okay. Keep going.
Steffy: Yeah, come on.
Charlie: Bingo.
Steffy: Deacon came back. He came back. Got ya, brooke.
New vicks vapostick. Strong soothing vapors…
Paris: So, I have to ask, what’s inspiring this? You really want to put it out there and tell people about us?
Carter: I don’t want to run around and hide. I did that with quinn. It was wrong. It’s no way to start a relationship.
Paris: I get that. And so will zende. He’ll understand.
Carter: No. He won’T. Zende will never know about us. Nobody will. We have to end our involvement…tonight.
Ridge: Very kind of you, taylor.
Taylor: Well, you are a wonderful husband.
Ridge: Well, sometimes, a lot of times I question that.
Taylor: Yeah? I speak from experience, don’t I?
Ridge: Yes, you do.
Taylor: Ridge, whatever it is that’s going on, your faith in your wife is… it’s beautiful, and you really are there for her. I hope she’s always deserving of that.
Brooke: Oh, my god. I could just imagine what steffy and thomas would do if this were to get out.
Hope: Mom. Mom. I don’t want you to do this, okay? I don’t want you to get caught up in all the negative thinking and all the “what ifs”. Just believe that no one else is going to find out about what happened with dad that night, okay?
Steffy: Can you believe this? Dad’s stranded and he can’t make it back into town and what does brooke do? She invites deacon over.
Thomas: I know. It’s disturbing.
Charlie: Okay, okay, here we go. We’ve got motion on the patio. Could be deacon leaving. No. Oh no, no. Wait, wait. It’s just the opposite. It’s somebody approaching. It’s a small child.
Thomas: Yeah, that’s just douglas. He was looking for a stuffed animal.
Steffy: It must have been when they were kissing. Douglas saw.
Charlie: Bad news. I–I don’t think the cameras caught deacon leaving. I’m already into the next day.
Thomas: Wait. That’s weird. How’s that possible? You said you had the whole place covered, so how did deacon leave unnoticed?
Charlie: Did– wait a minute. Wait, wait. He–he didn’T.
Steffy: Didn’t what?
Charlie: Slip out… until the next morning.
Steffy and thomas: What?
Charlie: There he is. He’s leaving out the back way, dressed in the same clothes.
Steffy: I can’t believe this.
Thomas: He spent the night?
Steffy: I was disgusted before when I heard that brooke kissed deacon, but this?
Thomas: I know. Dad always wants to see the best in her. He wants to, you know, defend her. But.
Steffy: Well, this just shows that she isn’t worthy. I need a copy sent to me right away.
Thomas: Now, roger that.
Charlie: This… this isn’t going to end well for brooke, is it?
Charlie: For brooke? Absolutely not. But it is going to end well for our father, once he finds out the truth out about brooke and deacon.
(Ziploc tab zip opening)
Paris: You want to end this?
Carter: I care about you, paris.
Paris: Okay, so why do this? Why not see where this could go?
Carter: Because it would never work. Not after what I did with quinn and I know that you and zende aren’t serious and then it’s a completely different situation. The forresters will never see it that way. They’ll see me going after zende’s woman, interfering with another forrester relationship and that can jeopardize your standing with the company, with the family, paris. Can’t let that happen.
Paris: Zende will help explain to his family that we agreed to let things be casual. No one’s cheating here. I don’t see how anyone could be upset.
Carter: Just will. It’s complicated. Zende can give you the best life. Everything that being a forrester means.
Paris: I don’t care about that. Something is happening between us, carter. Something that I’ve never felt before and I’m guessing that you haven’t either. We owe it to ourselves to find out what we could have. I don’t want to let you go.
Carter: This is the way it has to be.
[ Brooke sighing ]
Ridge: You know what I miss? I’m just walking into this house, seeing you happy. Hearing you laugh, seeing you smile. Think we’ll ever get there again, you think we’ll ever get past that night? What can I do?
Brooke: I don’t know.
Ridge: I gotta do something. Can’t keep going like this. It’s not your fault.
Brooke: I want to believe that. I do. It’s just… I’m just scared.
Ridge: I’m not scared at all. Because I know what you’re capable of. I know what we can do together. Face anything. Nothing’s going to come between us. You have to believe that.
Thomas: So what’s your next step?
Steffy: We’ll figure that out once mom gets here, but she needs to know the truth about brooke. That there’s a chance that mom and dad could get back together.
Taylor: Steffy? Hey. I got your text. Hey, thomas.
Thomas: Hey.
Taylor: Hi. Is everything okay? Where are the kids?
Steffy: The kids are fine. They’re asleep.
Taylor: Okay. Well, you– are you guys okay? What’s going on?
Steffy: Well, you know how we’ve–we’ve talked about our family quite a lot recently, and, you know, we’re so happy to have you back. It’s just… it’s nice to finally be together. All of us?
Taylor: Yes.
Steffy: Yeah.
Taylor: Yes, it is. Your father and I were just talking about that.
Thomas: Wait. You were with dad?
Taylor: Yeah, yeah. He came by the office to check on me. It was very sweet.
Thomas: Huh.
Steffy: What’s going on, you guys?
Steffy: Mom, dad’s not just being sweet. He really cares about you.
Taylor: Yeah.
Steffy: You’ve confessed that you still love him.
Taylor: Because I do. Steffy, thomas. Is that why I’ve been called over here? Is that what’s so important? I… you guys, I don’t want you getting caught up in wishful thinking, okay. Your father is married to brooke and his life is with her and the logans. It’s really best if we all just accept that and move on, okay?
Steffy: What if we don’t have to? What if we could change that? I mean, we’ve all sensed that something’s off with brooke. Hope’s been worried. So is dad. Thomas and I, we finally figured out what it is. We know now.
Taylor: Wait, something really is wrong?
Steffy: Mm-hm.
Thomas: Very, very wrong.
Steffy: Look, I would never wish for the end of dad’s marriage, and i would hate for him to go through that kind of pain, but after seeing and hearing what we have, mom,
Taylor: Come on. Just tell me what’s going on.
Steffy: We’ve all– come on, mom. We have all given brooke the benefit of the doubt, and we did it for dad’s sake. We thought that she could put dad first, but she’s incapable of it.
Taylor: Steffy, just tell me what has happened–
Steffy: She cheated on him.
[ Taylor gasping ]
Taylor: What?
Steffy: Not just with anyone, mom. With deacon. With deacon.
