Steffy: Yes, yes, of course you’re gonna get the exclusive.

Eye on fashion always has the first position. Of course. Okay. All right, I’ll see you at the preview. Bye, bye. If you’re looking my father, he’s not in. I’m assuming he’s with my mother.

Brooke: You love rubbing it in, don’t you?

Steffy: Rubbing what in?

Brooke: How delighted you are. You worked hard to undermine my marriage. I’m sure you’re thrilled with the way things worked out.

Steffy: I wasn’t undermining you, brooke. But it is true, I am happy that my parents are back together.

Brooke: For the moment.

Steffy: For good. My father is filing for an annulment. So, if you don’t mind, I have to get back to work.

Brooke: Oh, you’re dismissing me?

Steffy: I’m just really trying to avoid another one of your predictable lectures about destiny. I heard it from hope a few days ago, I don’t need to hear it from you.

Hope: Hm. Yeah, I can’t still believe that paris told you.

Thomas: That you think I’m hot.

Hope: That’s not what– okay. Look, context is very important here in this.

Thomas: Hope, you don’t exactly have to be, like, self-conscious or anything. Look, I’m flattered. Obviously, you know how I feel about you.

Hope: You know what, let’s just– let’s move past this.

Thomas: Move past the greatest compliment I’ve had to date? Okay. All right. Well, you wanna discuss the lineup for the preview? ‘Cause, I actually have a few thoughts.

Hope: Actually, I was hoping to see the chiffon dress with the tapered waistline.

Thomas: Hope wait, before you go back there.

Hope: Is that it over here?

[ Hope gasping ]

Douglas: Checkmate!

Liam: Wait. How– who– who taught you how to play chess this well? Is it– was it– is it your great-grandfather?

Eric: Yeah, his grandfather, his father as well. It’s kind of been a group effort actually. Now, he is teaching all of us. And you, too, it seems.

Liam: Clearly.

Eric: You’re really good at this.

Douglas: Should I tell him?

Donna: Oh, okay.

Eric: Tell me what?

Douglas: Donna’s been giving me pointers. It’s a secret.

Eric: What? Donna? You play chess?

Donna: Not only do I play, I was actually scorekeeper of my high school chess club for a year. What? I needed an extra curricular!

Eric: I never would have guessed.

Douglas: Donna is a lot of fun.

Donna: Am I? Really? How fun? How fun?

Liam: Seems like there’s a lot of that going around here. Fun, the fun, the fun.

Eric: We have really enjoyed having douglas here with us.

Douglas: I’m having an awesome time, too.

Liam: That is so cool. I’m so happy but, I gotta tell you, your mom and beth and me, we all really, really, really miss you. Do you think… maybe it’s time for you to come home?

Brooke: Hope says what she feels.

Steffy: And surprise surprise! It’s exactly how you feel. Like my parents reuniting is somehow orchestrated by my mother and me.

Brooke: Wasn’t it?

Steffy: No. And you know that. But instead of looking in the mirror and realizing that you’re the one responsible for your failed marriage, you want to point the finger at us. But my mom and I are used to it. You’re not gonna get what you want, brooke. My father has made up his mind. He wants to be with my mother and he’s making it permanent by ending it with you legally. I know it’s a hard pill to swallow, but you had it coming, especially after aspen.

Brooke: Where’s hope right now?

Steffy: In a meeting with thomas. I’m sure that’s an issue for you, not that it matters to him.

Brooke: Yeah, well, you conveniently forget the way thomas was. He was completely detached from reality, but, you know what? I haven’t forgotten and I really am concerned. And hope shouldn’t forget either because there is the slightest possibility that it could happen all over again.

Hope: What is that mannequin doing here, thomas?! Explain!

Thomas: Someone downstairs brought it up.

Hope: Why?

Thomas: I don’t know. Maybe they thought that it would be good for me to put dresses on something that looked like you.

Hope: Okay, that doesn’t make any sense. Who in their right mind would go and take–

Thomas: Hope, hope, I would never want someone to bring that thing up here, all right? I don’t understand why it wasn’t burned to the ground after the last time I saw it. That reminds me of a painful, dark past. I don’t want to remember that. Right now, I am focused on being a great father to my son. Tell me you believe me. I need you to say that you believe me.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Steffy: Your concerns are unfounded, brooke. Thomas’ life doesn’t revolve around hope anymore.

Brooke: Oh, really? They work together! They’re raising douglas together! Thomas makes sure that hope’s over at eric’s as much as possible–

Steffy: They share a son! He’s not obsessed with her anymore! You need to drop this, brooke.

Brooke: Oh, you mean look the other way? Steffy, there’s already warning signs that thomas is getting too close to her and I’m not gonna let that happen.

Steffy: Let me ask you something. How would my father feel if he knew that you were harassing his son? I think it would just reaffirm why he left you and went back to my mom.

Brooke: I’m not harassing his son. I’m concerned about my daughter, and I think ridge would understand that. I know he loves his son, he’s giving thomas the benefit of the doubt, but he also knows his history. And if thomas is trying to drive a wedge between liam and hope, and using douglas to do that, I’m gonna make sure it doesn’t happen.

Douglas: You want me to–

Liam: Come home. Yeah. Only because your mom and beth and me, we really miss you, like, a bunch.

Douglas: Do I have to leave?

Eric: No, of course not.

Douglas: See? It’s okay with great granddad if I stay!

Liam: No, sure, yeah, you can stay. It’s just–

Eric: I’ll tell you what. I’ll leave you two here to talk, all right? Donna and I will go into the den.

Donna: That’s a great idea. Okay.

Liam: Can I level with you? Home just isn’t the same without you, man.

Douglas: But mom and beth can come here. They can see me.

Liam: No, yes, of course they can. I just–

Douglas: I love it here. This is where I wanna be. What I really want is to be with both my parents. My mom and my real dad.

Thomas: I swear I didn’t put it there. I had no idea that thing still existed, let alone it was still in the building. Just please tell me that you believe me.

Hope: I… I believe you. I’ve seen the changes that you’ve made, thomas, especially with douglas and you’re a devoted father and it’s beautiful to see and also you’ve been doing really amazing work for my line and for that I am grateful to you.

Thomas: So, it’s not because you think I’m hot?

[ Thomas laughing ]

Brooke: Am I interrupting?

Hope: Mom? Thomas and i were just… do you need me?

Brooke: I would like to talk to you. Alone.

Thomas: Okay.

Brooke: What are you doing? What’s going on with you and thomas? Suffering from sinus congestion, especially at night?

Liam: Hey, douglas. You know that I would never claim to be or try to be your dad, right? I mean, like, I just, I don’t know, I kind of think we’ve been having a lot of fun. Like all the soccer games I’ve been taking you to, and the science projects, and– oh, my god, do you remember when I helped you design your halloween costume last year? That was dope! Right? We had a lot of fun, I thought.

Douglas: Yeah.

Liam: Nice. Well, yeah, I mean– I just– I kind of feel like we were buds. Like best buds, even.

Douglas: We were.

Liam: Nice. Well, I really miss that and, I dont know, I was kind of hoping maybe you did, too.

Douglas: I do, but…

Liam: It’s okay. Trust me, you can’t hurt me. You can say it, whatever it is. Douglas, I will understand.

Douglas: It’s just, you’re really cool and all, liam, but so is my dad. I like hanging out with him and my mom. They’re my family. My real family.

Thomas: Yeah, so then brooke barges into the design office saying that she has to speak to hope “alone”, like her and I aren’t working on our preview right now and have a thousand things to do.

Steffy: What did brooke want?

Thomas: I don’t know, like, bashing me to hope? What? What’s going on?

Steffy: Nothing, it’s just… brooke and I exchanged words.

Thomas: When?

Steffy: Right before she came to see you. Obviously, she’s still upset about losing dad. So, now she’s starting on you as a way to get back.

Thomas: Okay, look, you know what? It doesn’t matter because brooke’s trying to do the same old, same old. Just saying that I’m losing my mind, going crazy. But hope isn’t gonna believe her. Not this time. Hope is solidly in my corner. If I didn’t know before today, I do now.

Brooke: Are you really encouraging thomas?

Hope: Mom, when thomas is not here working hard on my line, he is spending quality time with douglas and their bond has grown and it has been a really beautiful thing to see.

Brooke: Okay, that’s not what I’m talking about. What really concerns me is–

Hope: Mom, I– I get your concerns! And I do appreciate them, but you’re not the one spending all this time with thomas. I am! I’ve seen how he is at eric’s, when he gets to play baseball with douglas. And, also, how much he’s helped me here with my line.

Brooke: So, you have complete faith in thomas?

Hope: Yes.

Brooke: Well, that’s what concerns me. Because you’re too trusting and when it comes to thomas–

Hope: I already know what you’re about to say, it’s what you’ve always said. That I can’t forget about his past, that I need to keep my guard up, which I am. But I also am allowed to think that he is capable of change, especially for our son’s sake!

Brooke: Okay, look, I know this is complicated for you. I do. But I was standing at the door and I heard you both talking. Is it true that you think thomas is hot?

Hope: Okay– it is not– it’s not what you think.

Brooke: Well, it certainly seemed like something.

Hope: All right, then. Paris and I, we walked into the office. We caught thomas in a state of undress. He took his bike to work that day, he was in the middle of changing, and then paris was going on and on about how hot she thought he was–

Brooke: And you feel the same way?

Hope: And I only agreed with her so that we could get back to work! Mom, it is nothing to worry about!

Brooke: Honey, yes it is! I’m very concerned about this! Thomas was obsessed with you. He had a mannequin that looked just like you. You’re spending a lot of time with him here at work. So, yes, I’m concerned. And, in fact, liam is very worried. And you’re over at eric’s a lot to be there with thomas.

Hope: Not with thomas, to be there with douglas!

Brooke: You know the difference, but does thomas? I’m not convinced that he does.

If you have type 2 diabetes

or high blood pressure…

Hope: I don’t wanna argue about this.

Brooke: I don’t want to argue either, but liam, beth, and douglas, they’re your family. Not thomas and douglas.

Hope: Mom, I know that. And I get why you’re concerned, but I also need you to understand that I believe thomas has changed and he’s not a threat to anyone anymore.

Brooke: I don’t know about that, honey. I mean, he still resents me. Every time I look at him, I see the hate in his eyes.

Hope: Okay, I think you might be reading into things just a little.

Brooke: No, I’m not. I know thomas for who he is. He has a history of instability and of manipulating people to get what he wants. He says he’s past all that, that he’s accepted your marriage to liam. But, I dont know, it certainly hasn’t stopped him from doing–

Hope: Mom. I hear what you’re saying, but, believe it or not, I actually have to get back to work. With thomas. Because we have a very big fashion preview to get ready for. So, let’s put a pin in this. Okay?

Brooke: God.

Hope: Love you!

[ Brooke sighing ]

Steffy: You’re preaching to the choir about brooke. I don’t want to waste any more time on her. She’s out of dad’s life and dad’s back with mom.

Thomas: Yeah, thank goodness. You know, I just don’t want brooke interfering with my relationship with hope.

Steffy: Relationship?

Thomas: You know what I mean. Like, we’re working together, we’re raising a kid together, and things are finally clicking between us.

Steffy: Good, I’m happy for you. Just don’t let her catch you half-naked again.

Thomas: Ha!

Steffy: Hope! We were just talking about you.

Hope: Oh?

Thomas: All good. I assure you. Are you and your mother done?

Hope: Yeah, but I would love to get back to work if that’s okay?

Thomas: Sure.

Steffy: I have a meeting, you two can use my office. Just keep your pants on, stud.

[ Thomas sighing ]

Hope: So, steffy knows?

Thomas: Yeah. Yeah, just about the part where you and paris walked in on me pretty much half-naked, but not the part about you calling me hot.

Hope: Oh, gee, thanks.

Thomas: You’re welcome.

Hope: By the way, my mom overheard us as well.

Thomas: Oh, great. I’m sure she came down on you wanting to warn you that I’m a crazy person.

Hope: Oh, I don’t need to be warned by my mother or anyone else. Thomas, I meant what I said. I’ve seen the effort that you’ve put into working on your relationship with douglas, and now the way he lights up when you’re in the room. It’s a beautiful thing. And I, also, again, am very grateful for all your help on my line. You’re an exceptional designer with an eye for beauty and fashion.

Thomas: Well, it’s not hard to exemplify beauty on the line when I’m working on your line–

[ Phone ringing ] And thinking about you. Uh, do you want to try on my most recent design? It’s right back there.

[ Ringing continues ]

Hope: Okay, sure. Why not?

Thomas: Okay, cool.

[ Ringing continues ]

Thomas: Hey! Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I was looking for those colors, it’s like an aqua. Basically all the blues and the reds are kind of missing. Yeah, I just need the samples. Okay, great. Yeah, a half hour’s fine. Okay, cool. All right, thanks. Bye. Wow. What do you think?

Hope: It’s breathtaking.

Thomas: You’re breathtaking.

Hope: Here, come here.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: Do you think if we bring it in in the sides, it will help with the fall of the dress a little bit?

Thomas: It was just

a fantasy. Stop.

Hope: Are you okay?

Thomas: Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah. What am I doing? Hope’s married. I can’T.

[Upbeat music]

Hope: Whoa, okay!

Paris: Hello!

Thomas: I thought I locked that!

Paris: I can’t speak for hope, but I’m glad you didn’t! You look– doesn’t he look–

Hope: Um, so do you always make a habit of getting naked at the office or is this just a special–

Thomas: No, no I rode my bike into work today and I was just changing.

Hope: Okay, well then, I think we should get going.

Paris: Yeah.

Hope: Yeah. All right.

Liam: I was hoping to have breakfast with my wife, but, you know, lately seems like she can’t get to the office fast enough.

Brooke: She is putting in the extra work and the extra time, as she should, because this upcoming showing is going to be a very critical moment for her and her line.

Liam: Yeah, which, I– you know, I totally get.

Brooke: But I do understand why you would be bothered.

Liam: I just wish thomas didn’t have to be part of the package. That’s all.

Brooke: Yeah.

Brooke: Here you go!

Liam: Oh, thank you!

Brooke: Yeah!

Liam: You know, I’m kind of digging this new ritual of ours. These tea time grievance-filing powwows.

Brooke: Oh, gosh. I love it! You know, we are on the same page when it comes to thomas. I don’t like it when he works so closely with hope. In fact, I’ll never trust him again because of what he’s done to her in the past. And not to mention the way he pushed ridge back to taylor!

Liam: Speaking of, how’re you holding up?

Brooke: I’m– I’m crushed. I am. I’m confused. I don’t know why he left to be with her. It doesn’t make any sense!

Liam: It could just be as simple as what you already said: Steffy and thomas lobbying hard to get their parents back together.

Brooke: They were relentless! And it seems like they’ve succeeded. For now. Only for now.

Thomas: Couldn’t stay away, could you?

Steffy: Oh.

Thomas: Oh, hey, sis.

Steffy: Why are you always half naked in a fashion house? Isn’t that a bit counter intuitive?

Thomas: Yeah, okay, I thought I locked the door, all right? I was changing because I rode my bike into work today and paris and hope just caught me in my boxers.

Steffy: Wow, okay. Starting their day with an eyeful of you. Interesting.

Paris: Did you see thomas? Like actually see thomas?

Hope: Yeah, that was kind of hard to miss.

Paris: He should bike into work all the time, thomas has got it goin’ on!

Hope: In the sense that he’s a very talented designer, yes.

Paris: True, but that’s not what I’m talking about. There’s something about him. Something about his eyes, something behind that smile that’s just so dark and dangerous, but also sexy. Like, thomas is the kind of trouble you’d want to get into. Tattoo studio gel pencil liner from maybelline new york.

Brooke: Credit where it’s due. Steffy, thomas, and taylor, I mean, look what they managed to do in record time. Ridge dumped me and went to taylor. Thomas insinuated himself in every aspect of hope’s life. He managed to get douglas out of his home and move him over to eric’s, so now hope has to go visit her son over there. I mean, what are they gonna do next? What, kick all the logans out of forrester creations?

Liam: No, because eric would never allow that. Especially not since he’s back with donna.

Brooke: Yeah, well, I’m sure they’ll try. They’re on a forrester roll. They’re used to getting what they want.

Liam: Yeah, well, not hope, because I won’t allow that.

Brooke: Well, you’re a good man. I’m glad that my daughter chose you to be her husband.

Liam: Yeah, I’d like to remind thomas of that choice. I’ve got eyes on him, I’m not just going to let him move in on my wife.

Brooke: You better keep that determination. If you feel hope slipping away, if you feel thomas stepping in, you’ve got to jump in with a vengeance! Really, I mean, learn from me. If your marriage is fragile at all, it’s going to be under attack.

Paris: Thomas is one sexy man!

Hope: You can say that.

Paris: Okay, hope, you’re married, not blind! You can appreciate a gorgeous man when you walk in on him half-naked!

Hope: No need for morning coffee, right?

Paris: Exactly! Okay, this is a safe room! You can admit that you find thomas attractive without worrying about if I’m going to judge you. I know that you guys have your crazy history, but sometimes that makes a guy more intriguing. The whole bad guy syndrome.

Hope: Uh, oh! Sounds like someone’s speaking from personal experience!

Paris: Yes, but we’re talking about you right now.

Hope: Okay. He’s interesting. I’ll give you that.

Paris: More like fine as hell! I see y’all have been hanging out a lot recently at work and with douglas.

Hope: Okay, okay, you know what? If I admit that he is hot, while pointing out that I love my husband, liam, and think that he is the hottest man in the world, can we just get back to work, please?

Paris: See, see, right there, I knew it! Married’s not dead! You can still appreciate the beauty in other men, and thomas is definitely worthy! Not to mention, he’s crazy about you. Probably makes him even more attractive.

Hope: Work.

Steffy: Do you know about mom’s big surprise for dad?

Thomas: Yeah, yeah, she bought back the beach house, they’re gonna live there.

Steffy: It’s insanely romantic.

Thomas: Yeah, it’s funny how things fall into place.

[Audio rewinding]

Brooke’s voice: I’d like to

report a child in danger.

Cps agent: And your name,

ma’am?

Thomas: Brooke logan.

Steffy: It’s finally all good. Everything’s worked out. Finn’s back, kids are happy, mom and dad are back together, douglas is living with you.

Thomas: Yeah. So many twists of fate.

Steffy: Yeah, it was long overdue. I just won’t take any of these moments for granted. Obviously, I know first hand how quickly life can change. So, we just have to cherish every minute we get together.

Thomas: Totally understand what you mean. Yeah, it’s been so great having douglas in the same home, you know? Not just every once in a while, but, like, day in, day out, I’m there putting him to bed at night, I’m there in the morning when he wakes up. I’ve gotten a sense of, like, where his little mind is gonna run off to next and it’s just amazing, I’m so grateful.

Steffy: I’m grateful I get to share it with finn. We just need to find someone for you.

Thomas: You know what? Don’T. I’m good. I’m good, and right now I just want to focus on hope and her line. If you’re on medicare,

Brooke: I still don’t know what happened. I would’ve bet my life that ridge and i could hold steady against any kind of interference and yet, here we are. He’s over there with taylor and I’m home alone.

Liam: Yeah, well, I mean, I’m not counting you and ridge out just yet and, honestly, I think anybody that does is setting themselves up for failure. Look, ridge is still ridge. He’s gonna do what he always does, which is find his way back to you. And when that happens, if he’s lucky, you’ll still want him.

Brooke: Well, thank you, for your support, but I don’t want to think about my problems right now. I am worried about hope and some of the choices she’s making. Douglas is living over there at eric’S. Why is she allowing that?

Liam: Yeah, I’m– I’m worried about that, too. There’s something– I don’t know. There’s a difference in the way that hope relates to thomas now and I don’t like it.

Thomas: Hey! I thought hope was in here.

Paris: She was, you just missed her. But we sure didn’t miss you! You been working out?

Thomas: I do everyday, it’s a great stress reliever.

Paris: Well, whatever you’re doing, it’s working.

Thomas: You trying to make me blush?

Paris: Oh, yeah right! You probably get that on all your dates!

Thomas: No, I don’t really have time for that. I’ve been putting all of my energy into the preview.

Paris: Hm. What a waste. Well, just know you got yourself a couple of new admirers today.

Thomas: A couple?

Paris: Ooh, I probably shouldn’t have said that.

Thomas: You said something, so there’s no reason backing off now.

Paris: Okay, I am not the only one that thinks you’re hot. Someone else who saw you earlier thought so too.

Thomas: Hope really said that?

Steffy: Katie’s lined up a ton of press for the preview. Two days worth. You up for it?

Hope: More than I’ve ever been before.

Steffy: That enthusiasm will come through and serve hope for the future. Your designs are really remarkable.

Hope: Well, thomas and zende have really outdone themselves.

Steffy: Yeah, you’ve got the right team.

Hope: Yes, I do.

Steffy: Also, you and i should sit down with paris and figure out a creative way to tie the foundation to some charities your line supports.

Hope: I love that idea.

Steffy: Great, then I’ll have donna schedule a meeting.

Hope: Awesome! So, is there anything else you need from me?

Steffy: Yeah, actually, well, katie is gonna get back to us, you know, about the media schedule, and I’m also gonna have my brother do some interviews as lead designer? Hopefully, you have no issues with that.

Hope: No, not at all. He’s a very important part of hope for the future and I think everyone should know that.

Steffy: You two have been really putting in the hours working on your line.

Hope: That we have. I’ve really appreciated his dedication and commitment.

Steffy: You know, he’ll do anything for you.

Hope: I just– I appreciate his support.

Steffy: That’s great. I’m also just wondering how things really are between you and thomas. As someone living with type 2 diabetes,

Thomas: Absolutely, yeah. Hey, thank you very much, I appreciate that. Yeah, no, we’re just waiting on a few pieces of silk and then your orders will be on the way. I mean, half of it is already pretty much there, but we’re just honestly waiting on that silk. Okay. Yeah. Oh, that’d be perfect. All right, all right thanks, I’ll talk to you soon. All right, bye.

Paris: Okay, I will see you later!

Thomas: Not so fast. What you said earlier, about hope.

Paris: Did I say something about hope?

Thomas: You see, that’s the thing, I’m trying to figure out if you’re messing with me.

Paris: Would I do that?

Thomas: Yeah, absolutely, like, in a heartbeat.

Paris: Fair. No, but this time, I’m telling the truth. Hope actually admitted she thinks you’re hot, so. Don’t let that go to your head.

Thomas: I’ll try.

Steffy: I’m just curious about how things are going with you and thomas. You’re spending a lot of time together.

Hope: Well, you know how busy things get before a preview.

Steffy: Yeah, but also talking about douglas. He’s staying with thomas. That means you’re going over to my grandfather’s regularly.

Hope: Yes, I am, but that’s because douglas is there and he is having a great time.

Steffy: It’s really wonderful to see the way thomas is bonding with douglas. You’re okay with that, right?

Hope: Yes. I’ve always wanted douglas to know his father’s love. That’s never changed.

Steffy: But, up until recently, thomas had a limited role in douglas’ life. Now that he’s seeing his son more, that means you’re going to be seeing thomas more. Is that an issue?

Hope: Steffy, everything’s going just fine between thomas and me.

Steffy: Yeah, but that wasn’t the case before. Just feels like things have changed now. Like you’re seeing thomas through a different lens.

Liam: Hope used to have her guard up when it came to thomas. And rightly so.

Brooke: The fact that you’re this worried validates my own concerns. I mean, hope is just way too trusting when it comes to thomas.

Liam: Yeah, it’s almost like she’s forgotten how dangerous it is to take him at face value.

Brooke: It’s like what you said. She believes that thomas has changed.

Liam: Yeah, well, that’s the problem ’cause I don’T.

Brooke: And I don’t either. I think he’s just gotten more subtle.

Liam: Yeah, he’s gotten more subtle and he also has home court advantage as long as douglas is staying over at eric’S.

Brooke: And that should’ve ended a long time ago!

Liam: Yeah, well, I agree, but hope says she doesn’t want to trigger a huge custody battle, and I believe her when she says that, but the problem is that thomas knows that, right? And he’s using it to his advantage to get in her head, like he did before when he didn’t even have as much access to her as he does now!

Brooke: It just feels like she’s spending a lot more time with thomas than she is with you.

Hope: Hey, thomas!

Thomas: Hope!

Hope: I don’t mean to interrupt, you seem like you’re super focused, which is great news for me and my line.

Thomas: Well, I’ve always got time for you.

Hope: Can I see what you’re working on?

Thomas: Yeah, sure, of course! Here you go!

Hope: Wow!

Thomas: What do you think?

Hope: It’s different.

Thomas: Yeah?

Hope: Yeah, is this for the showstopper?

Thomas: Maybe. So, what are your thoughts?

Hope: Well, I like the statement that it makes.

Thomas: That’s kind of what I’m trying to do here. You know, I want to make something a little bit different, a little bold, edgy, provocative.

Hope: Well, I say you follow your inspiration. Go for it!

Thomas: Wow! That’s why you’re so great to work for. You trust your creatives.

Hope: Of course, I mean, why wouldn’t I? You are one of the best designers here.

Thomas: Yeah, well, if I’m a great designer, it’s only really because of you.

Hope: Me?

Thomas: Yeah, this is your line! It’s hope for the future! When I’m making a design I’m thinking about how it’s going to look on you, you know? Is it gonna exemplify your beauty? Is it gonna flow on your curves? Will it look good on your body? Do you ever think of me that way?

Hope: What do you mean?

Thomas: Do you ever think about my body?

Hope: No. Of course not.

Thomas: That’s not what I heard.

Hope: No, I– oh, my gosh. Have you been talking to paris?

Thomas: Maybe a little bit. Look, I’m really flattered. It’s okay! Don’t look like that!

Hope: It’s not what you think.

Thomas: I think that you said that I was hot. Look, your secret is safe with me.

Deacon: Are you ready for someone who’s committed to you and only you? Devoting himself to your happiness? Brooke, you will never have to question my priorities or doubt my loyalty. So, what do you say? You wanna make me the luckiest guy in the world? Tell me you’ll marry me.. tell me you’ll be my wife.

Ridge: I can’t believe it. You– you actually bought it back, you bought the house back.

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: Filled with all these memories.

Taylor: And now we can make more memories. So, what do you think? You wanna do it?

Ridge: I’ve got the blindfold on, might as well–

[ Taylor laughs]

Taylor: No, turn– turn our old house into our new private hideaway?

Bill: Well, this doesn’t mean you get time off. Have a son on your own time.

[ Laughs ] All right, I’ll see ya later.

Liam: What was that about?

Bill: Ah, it’s official. Taylor bought back the beach house and your brother is already moved out.

Liam: What the hell?

Bill: Ah, what can I tell ya? I– I, uh… you know, she used to live there with ridge and now that they’re back together, I guess she’s feeling nostalgic. I wasn’t about to sell, uh, the bel air house, that– that is my home. And now that brooke is free of ridge, well, I want a place big enough for her to move into.

Liam: You’re that cocky. I mean, you really think brooke is gonna turn to you.

Bill: Absolutely.

[ Taylor sighs ]

Taylor: You’re speechless.

Ridge: Yeah, I’m just thinkin’ about all the great times we had in here, all the– all the fun we had even after the kids were born.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Taylor: Yes, we did. Oh, ridge, I– I know this is a lot. I do. And I also know that you do not like surprises.

Ridge: No, I hate surprises. But I’m gonna make an exception. Thank you.

Taylor: So, yeah? Yeah?

Ridge: Yeah.

Bill: Ridge bailed. Full pivot back to taylor. He and brooke are done.

Liam: Yeah, uh, o– okay, but– but does that just automatically mean that you’re in? Dad, there are, uh, other men in the world.

Bill: Why’re you whispering, liam? And there are none that have the history with brooke that I do.

Liam: None that you are allowing yourself to imagine, but you just mentioned one of them– hope’s father.

Bill: Deacon?

Liam: Yeah.

Bill: I brought him up as a joke. You seriously think brooke would entertain the idea of having that low-life back in her world? No. Our favorite convict doesn’t stand a chance of a life with someone like brooke.

[ Brooke laughs ]

Wow, I– I actually can’t believe this. I mean, you… you brought a ring. You’re proposing.

Deacon: Look, I know it’s premature, I mean, I– I know you’re still technically married to, what’s his name? I’m sorry. Look, brooke, what can I say? You bring it out of me. I’m a man of action.

Hope: Dad, I’m a little confused. I mean, how and when did you even get that ring?

Deacon: I have wanted to come by here so many times since I’ve been back in L.A. And just dropped on one knee. I’ve carried this around for a long time, just waiting for the right moment to propose my love to you. And thanks to, uh– thanks to our daughter, that moment’s now. Brooke, look at this ring as a symbol of a better future, not just for us but for our daughter, too. Imagine what that would mean to her. All you have to do is say, “yes.” W memories to be made.

Taylor: So, wyatt took all his personal things, so everything that is left here at the house comes with it. And it’s a good thing, because, um, this new couch is a lot more comfortable than our old one.

Ridge: Interesting, ’cause I remember getting very comfortable with you on the old couch, quite a few times.

Taylor: Well, like you said, there are new memories to be made.

Ridge: I like this.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: An old place for a new start.

Taylor: Yeah… yeah, and this is a new start for us. And as happy as it is, it doesn’t mean that, you know, that your heart isn’t heavy right now. Ending a marriage, that’s a lot. You know, I– I still don’t know exactly how we got here, except something about a– a pine cone falling on your head.

[ Both laugh ]

Ridge: Huh.

Taylor: I know there’s something. And, no matter what it is, I am here for you, ridge. Good or bad, I am here. So, whenever you’re ready to open up… I’m ready to listen, okay?

Bill: So, you’re telling me that thomas spends all day with hope–

Liam: Yes, for this tofu–

Bill: And most evenings as well.

Liam: Most, no, but a good chunk–

Bill: And sometimes spends the night–

Liam: With beth, yes.

Hope: And hope has no idea what thomas is doing, that he is completely manipulating her?

Liam: Oh, she doesn’t appear to, no. But– but brooke and I certainly do and we don’t like where this is headed especially given how much time they’re spending together.

Bill: Okay, well that’s– that’s good, you and brooke are on the same page, at least, and– and presenting a united front. And once I’m back in brooke’s life, which should be soon, I can help steer hope away from thomas, as well.

Liam: I actually really appreciate that. Although, I think, maybe, you’re getting a little ahead of yourself.

Bill: Really? All right, listen, you can think whatever you want. Okay, in fact, I’m gonna kind of enjoy that and– and it’ll be funny. You know why it’ll be funny? Because i am going to choose you to be my best man. That means you’re gonna have to make the best man’s speech and you’re going to tell everyone how wrong you were.

Liam: All right, you know what? I look forward to that. You tell me when and where to show up and I’ll be there.

Bill: Well, I better get crackin’ on that right now. I’m gonna pay brooke a little visit and get workin’ on her future.

Liam: Hey, dad.

Bill: Yeah.

Liam: Just… be careful. She’s hurt.

Bill: I know.

Brooke: I am touched. Truly, I am. But as for you and me… uh, well, we’re always going to be hope’s parents. We’re always going to be grandparents to hope’s children. But as a couple, deacon, I mean, you know how I feel about ridge. I’m not gonna give up on him.

Deacon: You can– you can’t blame a guy for trying, right?

Brooke: It was really, very sweet, really.

Hope: I think– I think dad and i both understand why you can’t accept this ring right now. I mean, you’re still technically married and, uh, the wounds are still fresh, but mom, can you… can you please just do me a favor and… keep and open mind? You know how much dad loves you, he would be committed to you. And you would never have to question his devotion to us as a family. So, I don’t know, maybe the mood ever strikes again sometime in the future and dad wants to ask again, I just hope that, I dunno, you might possibly consider saying yes.

Brooke: Honey, I love it that you want to see us so happy. And I can see how much you love me, really, I can see how much you care and that means a lot. But… I have a husband, and he’S… he’s the man I love, the man I want to spend the rest of my life with, and I’m not giving up on him. I mean, that door is not closed, not yet.

If you have this…

Ridge: I like that I can talk to you about anything, but I don’t want to. I don’t want to talk about brooke, I don’t want to talk about my marriage, not now. I wanna just sit here and look at you. In this cool, old house, that is, by the way, walking distance to our daughter’s house with her husband and those little kids.

Taylor: Well, you see that was all part of my master plan.

Ridge: Master plan, I knew it, you had a master plan.

Taylor: I did. And I also had one or two backups just in case–

Ridge: That doesn’t surprise me, either. And that’s why you should always be in charge of the itinerary.

[ Taylor laughs ] You never forgot I want a window seat.

Taylor: Never. This is surreal, isn’t it? Kind of? You know, being here in this house, together again.

Ridge: Well, yeah, because of you, because you didn’t give up. You didn’t give up on me, you didn’t give up on us and that would’ve been easy to do. So, thank you.

[ Door opens ]

Liam: Hey! You’re home.

Hope: Uh…

Liam: And you have company.

Deacon: Hey, liam.

Liam: Hey deacon, how’s it goin’?

> Hope: Sorry, hi. I totally missed your text. I’m sorry.

Liam: Oh, no. That’s fine. I– I just figured you were you know, busy at work.

Hope: Um, well, I am, still. I actually do have to go back, it’s just a lot with the preview right now.

Liam: Why did you come home, is there–

Deacon: It’s okay, you can tell him.

Liam: Okay… tell me what, guys?

Hope: My dad had an interesting proposal for my mom.

Liam: All right.

Hope: Marriage. He proposed.

Liam: Huh.

[ Knocking ]

Brooke: Hi, bill.

Bill: Lemme save ya the trouble. I can’t be here, ridge might see me. Well, I am here because I care about you. So you might as well let me in. I told you last time I was here that I was going to check on you.

Brooke: Yeah, I remember.

Bill: I meant it. I wanna help you get through this.

Brooke: Well, the only way to really get through this is for ridge to come home and to come back–

Bill: Brooke–

Brooke: To me. It’s going to happen, bill, it’s going to happen.

Bill: Has he given you any indication of that? He has no intention of coming back. He is with taylor now. Let me help you through this. Come back to me. Ma cherie. Just being

Ridge: I love this.

Taylor: Mm. Me too. It’s so peaceful… just being in your arms, being here together and knowing our family is– is back together, it’s–

Ridge: Yeah, I was talkin’ ’bout the sound of the ocean, but yours is nice, too.

Taylor: Mine is nice because this brings me moe peace than any ocean ever could.

Ridge: Yeah.

[ Ridge clears throat ]

Liam: D’oh! Whoa, okay. You asked brooke to marry you?

Deacon: She said no.

Hope: For now. But ridge has chosen to run off into the sunset with taylor, that’s his future. And mom will one day come to realize that and choose a future of her own. Nay. Choose a man of her own who actually respects her, unlike ridge.

Liam: A man who, uh, truly loves her, right?

Hope: Yeah, no one loves my mom more than my dad.

Liam: Yeah, except maybe my dad.

Bill: We agreed we had some wonderful memories together, we can have more.

Brooke: You are proving katie right, you know? You’re doing exactly what she said you would do. Okay, fine, fine, whatever, great. Katie’s right. You became available and here I am… where I belong. That’s after well over a year of my many, many attempts to reconcile with katie, to do the– the right thing. Well, she made it clear, she wants nothing to do with me. So, you don’t have to worry about katie, she does not want me anymore. But I want you. I have always wanted you. And I had you… and I lost you. And I forced myself at that point to stay away, to respect your boundaries. I told myself that if a life with ridge was what you wanted, that was gonna make you happy, I would respect that.

Brooke: I do want that.

Bill: The way that he treats you…

[ Brooke sighs ] Why would you want– why would anyone want that? It would be so much better if it was us. We were so much better. A true partnership, brooke, we could have that again. Don’t you remember what we had? Let me whisk you away. Let me help you forget all the pain and all the disappointment that ridge has caused you.

Brooke: I don’t want to forget. I wanna learn and i wanna grow and I wanna heal and I wanna do that with ridge. I mean, I am– I am very touched that you came here. It’s just, there’s only one man I wanna spend the rest of my life with. And I’m gonna tell you the same thing I told deacon–

Bill: Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. The convict was here?

Brooke: Yes, he was here, with hope and don’t you dare call him that. Look, you two mean a lot to me, you’re very important parts of my past, and I will always care about you, bill. It’s just, there’s only one relationship for me, that’s it. I still don’t know why ridge left, I don’T. But I am going to find out. And I’m not gonna give up on him. I’m not.

[ Brooke sighs ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Brooke: Ridge.

Brooke: Tell me aspen was a mistake. That you got caught up. Just tell me you’re coming back home.

Steffy: The day has finally come. You and dad are back together.

Taylor: I know. I’m so happy. I– it feels like everything is just– it’s just right, you know?

Steffy: Because it is. Everything’s right. I mean, the only thing that’s wrong right now is dad not being here. I can’t believe he’s back at brooke’s again.

Taylor: No, no. Honey, I mean, you know, he had to do it. It was the right thing to do. And he had to get some stuff, anyway.

Steffy: Yeah.

Taylor: We trust him, remember?

Liam: Hey, I brought your favorite, carbs and carbs.

[ Bill chuckles ] Thank you.

Liam: Yeah. You know, ridge always comes back.

Bill: Until he doesn’T.

Liam: Yeah, but this isn’t the first time he’s left brooke.

Bill: Well, it’s gonna be the last time. Forrester is a fool, and brooke isn’t going to put up with him anymore.

Liam: See, I wouldn’t do that if I were you. I wouldn’t count ridge and brooke–

Bill: That relationship is finished, liam. And it’s the greatest thing that ever happened for brooke.

Liam: The greatest? You want to unpack that for me?

Bill: I’m gonna step in.

Hope: I can’t believe that you and dollar bill got into it. The fact that he came over to your apartment uninvited and then threw his fake money in your face. Dad, I’m– I’m sorry. That’s so disrespectful.

Deacon: Disrespectful? I don’t know. There’s another way of looking at it. I mean, he came all the way down to my place in person just to tell me to stay away from your mother. That tells me that he respects the possibility that I got a chance. And it also tells me that he’s worried.

Bill: The convict actually thinks he has a shot with brooke–

Liam: My father-in-law thinks he has a shot at brooke.

Bill: Another loser unworthy of her.

Liam: All right, well, that loser and brooke happen to have a daughter together. And why are we talking about deacon right now?

Bill: Because he’s dumb enough to think that brooke is gonna take him back.

Deacon: So, how’s your mom holdin’ up?

Hope: She’s heartbroken. It’s hard to believe that her marriage is actually ending.

Deacon: You know, I hate to hear that, I really do. But I– I’m not surprised. I mean, it’s classic forrester. Textbook. Is he really going back to taylor?

Hope: Yeah, it looks that way. None of us are really even sure as to why, but one thing is certain, that steffy’s interference certainly didn’t help.

Steffy: I can’t help but pity brooke a little.

Taylor: Yeah, she must be devastated.

Steffy: That is really nice of you, that you care about brooke’s well-being.

Taylor: Well, I mean, I just– I understand. I understand. I’ve been there many times.

Both: Because of her.

Steffy: You know what, this isn’t about brooke. This is about you and dad and your love for each other.

Steffy: So don’t let that man-go. Okay?

Taylor: Oh, my god. That was brilliant.

[ Both laughing ]

Ridge: It was never my intention to hurt you, logan.

Brooke: Ridge. Look, I know you still love me. I know that. So whatever this is about, we can work through it–

Ridge: I’m here to pick up some of my things.

Brooke: No. I am not gonna give up on us. And you never even told me what this is about, anyway.

Brooke: Ridge, please, just look at me. What is it? Why are you doing this?

Bill: Ridge did brooke a favor by cutting himself loose.

Liam: No, he didn’T. She’s totally shattered right now.

Bill: Yeah, and nobody hates seeing brooke in pain more than I do. So, I’m gonna put a stop to it. Right here. All right? Ridge and deacon can both hit the road.

Liam: So, to be clear, the way that you’re gonna be there for brooke is just by stepping in and taking over?

Bill: It’s what I do.

Liam: Fair enough. All right well, what about katie?

Bill: I’ve tried, and tried, as you well know. She wants nothing to do with me. Katie is moving on. Well, I’m moving on as well. For the woman who’s always accepted me for who I am.

Liam: All right, but you don’t think that brooke could use a little… space?

Bill: I am what’s best for brooke. And if that clown, deacon, thinks that he has a chance with her, he’s an even bigger moron than I realized.

Deacon: I know how close you and your mom are, and I can tell you’re worried about her.

Hope: Well, it’s hard not to be.

Deacon: Has anyone asked how you’re doing? I mean, how are you doing?

Hope: I’m okay. Although, my patience is wearing out when it comes to steffy.

Deacon: Is that causing any problems for you and liam? I mean, he… he and steffy share a child, so–

Hope: No, no. It’s nothing like that, it’s just… there’s been a lot of stress… overall, especially with the situation with douglas.

Deacon: Are there any new developments on that front?

Hope: Well, he’s with thomas. He’s happy.

Deacon: He’s happy. Are you happy about that, or–

Hope: Dad.

Deacon: Oh, hey, okay.

Hope: Let’s drop it.

Deacon: Pinning it.

Hope: Yeah. But I will say, though, between you and me… maybe a part of me is relieved with this whole situation with mom, because she’s been struggling for a while with ridge to try to make their marriage work. And maybe… maybe it isn’t what’s best for her.

Taylor: Okay. Yes. I love that. That’s awe– thank you. No, no, no, I got it. Thank you. Bye-bye. Bye, bye, bye, bye.

Steffy: Was that dad?

Taylor: Uh, no. No, he is still dealing with the brooke situation.

Steffy: Oh, okay. Do you want me to go into the other room? If it’s a private conversation, I respect that. I can– I can just go.

Taylor: No, no, you saw me getting off the phone. I was like, “bye!”

Steffy: You, like, seemed to… rush off. So, I can– I can just leave, it’s fine.

Taylor: I did? Really? I–

Steffy: Yeah. You, uh, you– you did.

Taylor: Hm. I didn’t realize that.

Steffy: Were you talking to a patient? Like, you’re acting, uh, I don’t know, a little weird.

Taylor: Me?

Steffy: What is going on with you?

Steffy: Are you okay?

Taylor: Yes, I’m– I’m– I’m fine. I’M… fine. I– I, um, I did a thing.

Steffy: You did a thing?

Taylor: A “thing” thing. A surprise thing. And I really hope your dad is as happy as I am about it.

Brooke’s voice: I’d like

to report a child in danger.

His father, thomas forester,

is unstable.

He has a knife.

Brooke: I know you, ridge.

I know there’s something

that you’re not saying.

And I wish you would just…

just say it. Just–

Ridge: Why– why are you

doing this?

Why are you– why are you

pretending that you don’t know

what this is?

Brooke: I don’T.

Ridge: Can you just

be honest and– and say it?

I just need

to hear you say it.

Brooke: It’s me, standing here. Ridge. Your logan. Your wife.

[ Sighs ] Please, just talk to me. I mean, we’ve survived so many things through the years, and we can get through this, too. I think it’d be good to just get it off your chest. We really need to be open and honest.

Ridge: Yeah. I just want to get some of my things.

Ridge: You’ll always be in my heart, but I’m– I’m moving on with taylor.

Liam: You– [Chuckles] Dad, you– I think you need to chill out a little bit and give brooke a minute to breathe.

Bill: I love brooke, liam. I do. And I respect her. I’m not gonna put any pressure on her.

Liam: Okay, that’s good to hear, because this is a lot for her, right? Losing ridge is a huge change in her life.

Bill: A change for the better.

Deacon: Listen, your mom’s gonna need people around her who really care about her, and I– I just want you to know she’s lucky to have you as a daughter. And so am I.

Hope: Thank you. I mean, you know I’ve always supported mom. Even defended her marriage to ridge. But, I don’t know. If he can just so easily and so callously walk away from her without any explanation and go back to taylor, then, you know, maybe it wasn’t meant to be after all.

Deacon: Well, it’s a safe bet that it wasn’T.

Hope: Yeah, well, if he acts like that, maybe he doesn’t deserve her. Not like you.

Deacon: Me?

Hope: Come on, dad, we all know how you feel about mom and you, would be there for her.

Deacon: Yeah, I’d be there in a minute. I mean, of course I would.

Hope: Yeah, well, guess what? You couldn’t because of ridge.

Deacon: Because ridge banned me from the premises.

Hope: Mm-hm.

Deacon: What?

Hope: Why don’t we go pay mom a visit and, I don’t know, maybe you could tell her how you feel.

Steffy: A surprise.

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: For dad?

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, a– a– a big surprise.

Steffy: Mom, what did you do?

Taylor: Well, I– I just, um, I stepped into our future with something from our past.

Steffy: Uh-huh, okay, something from your past…

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, okay, uh, I cannot tell you, I’m not going to say anything.

Steffy: Okay. Can I guess?

Taylor: You’re never gonna guess. Okay, one guess.

Steffy: Are you flying him to saint thomas? You’re gonna do, like, the whole romantic proposal? That’s what it is!

Taylor: No. No, it’s not. But that’s a really fun idea, too.

Steffy: It’s a good idea.

Taylor: It’s a really good idea.

Steffy: What else could it be, then?

Taylor: No, no, I am not gonna tell you. I’m not gonna tell you. I don’t wanna ruin the surprise that I– I really, really just hope that ridge is as excited as I am. I’m gonna text him right now.

Steffy: Okay, well, now that you’re not telling me, I’m gonna say, this whole vibe, I’m really loving. To see you so… joyful and full of excitement.

[ Taylor sighs ] Yeah. Thank you. It’s called love. You know?

Taylor: Do you have a blindfold?

Brooke: Ridge. Don’T. Ridge, please. Just, stay here with me.

Ridge: This is hard enough as it is. Listen, we can’t do this anymore. We can’t keep hurting each other. So, I talked to carter and he’s gonna– he’s gonna get some paperwork together.

Brooke: Some paperwork?

Ridge: For the annulment.

Brooke: Annulment?

Ridge: I– I think it’s the right way to handle things.

Brooke: What? What are you even talking about? You want to just pretend that our marriage never existed? You want to trample on our vows? And, what about the commitment we made to each other, and– and to our family?

Brooke: And everything that we built? Everything. All of the beautiful memories we’ve had here in this home. I– I don’t even know what you’re talking about, ridge. None of this makes sense. What happened? What changed things for you?

Ridge: Can you just– can–

Ridge: Carter is gonna be in touch.

Ridge: I’ll always love you.

[ Brooke sighs ] Ridge. Wait. Please.

[ Sighs ] (Vo) no matter what type of severe asthma you have,…

Taylor: Can you see?

Ridge: Uh, no.

Taylor: No? No, okay, step down

Ridge: Maybe because you told me to come down the P.C.H. And then you blindfolded me.

Ridge: So, that’s why I can’t see.

Taylor: Yeah, well, you look very sexy in that blindfold. Up.

Ridge: Okay.

Taylor: Now that– shh. You’re gonna ruin the surprise.

Ridge: Surprise? Ah, you know how I love surprises.

Ridge: Last time you surprised me was that roller-skating party. Ah, that was a big hit.

Taylor: Yeah, yeah. Yep, yep, I’m gonna just tell you the same thing that I told you then, just roll with it.

Ridge: Roll with it?

Taylor: Roll…

Ridge: I don’t wanna roll with it. I– I– I’ve been kidnapped and I feel like somebody’s gonna throw me off the malibu pier.

Taylor: Oh, no, you guessed what I was gonna do. Ah, see you later.

Ridge: Oh, god.

[ Both chuckle ]

Taylor: Okay, take it off. Your blindfold.

[ Laughing ]

Ridge: Oh, okay. Good start.

Ridge: The beach house.

Taylor: Mm-hm. Yup.

Ridge: What are we doing here?

Taylor: I don’t know, just being reminded of our, of our time in this magical little home on the ocean.

Ridge: Yeah. I remember. Those were the best times of my life.

Ridge: Mm. Does wyatt know we broke into his house?

Taylor: Ooh, it’s his old house.

[ Keys jingling ]

Taylor: You see, um, even before aspen, I was looking for a place to live ’cause, you know, I was sick of walking in on steffy and finn in mid-makeout. But then when you asked me, or, you told me that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me, I, I just thought–

Ridge: Did you buy this place?

Taylor: I did. I just thought that, it would be great if we had, an amazing little place together– hm.

Taylor: Welcome home, ridge.

[ Door opening ]

Hope: Hi. I didn’t see ridge’s car in the drive, so…

Brooke: Yeah, no. Ridge is gone. He’s leaving me and going back to taylor.

Deacon: I’m sorry, brooke.

Hope: Are– are you okay?

Brooke: I’m confused. I mean, I– I don’t know why this happened. I don’t know why he suddenly just up and left. Me. His wife. So that he could be with taylor. He wants to put that other family back together.

Hope: Maybe that’s where he belongs. With them.

Brooke: How could you say that?

Hope: Well, it’s just, maybe he’s on to something. Maybe there’s something beautiful about rebuilding a family.

[ Brooke clears throat ]

Deacon: I think I’m gonna have to agree with our very wise, very smart daughter. O-okay. All right. We’re, uh, we’re gonna do this, right?

[ Clearing throat ] I know that this might seem, like, it’s out of the blue.

Deacon: But I’ve been dreamin’ about this for a very long time. It’s kept me going. You’ve kept me going. Both of you have. You’ve always been the one, brooke. And look, if ridge is off with taylor, then maybe it’s time that we, repair our family. I mean, look what we did together, you and me. Look, we– we made this amazing, exceptional woman. And if we could– if we can do that, imagine the– the magic and the love that we could have if we would just give it a chance. I– I— know I don’t deserve you, but then again, nobody does. You are the most phenomenal woman I have ever met. And I promise you that if you take this journey with me, I will prove my love to you every single day. And I will cherish, and honor you until my last breath. And you’ll never have to worry about my feelings, or my loyalty. And all you have to do, is just say yes. Just… say you’ll marry me.

Thomas: Steffy? I’m here.

Steffy: O– okay. Hi.

Thomas: Hi.

Steffy: Is everything okay?

Thomas: Yeah, it’s just half the time I walk in, finn’s got his shirt off and you’re all making out and stuff. Just wanted to forewarn.

Steffy: Good to know. Thanks. I mean, I can’t help it. But just you wait. Wait till you have a girlfriend. I walk in on you, that’s gonna be super weird. Yeah, whatever. Why don’t you actually have a girlfriend? What’s going on? I want to know about your dating life.

Thomas: Uh, there’s not really anything to talk about.

Steffy: Uh-huh?

Thomas: Not seeing anyone right now. Outside of work, I’m just focused on my son.

Hope: So, ridge is coming home from aspen today?

Brooke: He’ll be landing anytime.

Hope: Well, I think it’s a good sign that he texted you.

Brooke: Yeah, but he’s not coming home alone. He’s been with taylor this whole time. They’re flying back to L.A., Together.

Katie: Well, thanks a lot, justin. You just made my life a whole lot more difficult. I didn’t think I’d be able to secure this deal. Now I’ve got to come up with a strategy.

Justin: [Chuckling] Well, I’m glad I could be the cause of more work. That means that you’re starting to trust me a bit.

Katie: Don’t push it.

Justin: Okay, I know. I have a lot to make up for.

Katie: Carter says you’ve been doing a lot of great work around here.

Justin: Thanks. Uh, this place is refreshing. Inspiring. It’s a lot of positive energy.

Katie: Did justin barber just talk about positive energy?

Justin: See, what can I say? I like it here. I’m using my law degree for something good. Helping people out while not tearing others down. But I must say, if you look at that deal, a lot of that work was carter. Those signatures, that’s all him. Speaking of, I actually have some forms that I need to get your wet signatures on. Do you mind if I come right back?

Katie: Yeah, of course.

Justin: All right.

Katie: Hey, justin, um… I like seeing you like this.

Justin: Thank you.

Katie: There are plenty

of people around here who think

that you’re amazing, carter.

Carter: Like who?

Carter: What are you plotting in here?

[ Giggling ]

Katie: Well, although I probably shouldn’t admit this to the C.O.O., I was, um, just daydreaming.

Carter: Hm. Depends on what you were daydreaming about.

[ Giggling ]

Carter: Well, I don’t want to distract you from your work.

Katie: Well, you’d be on my mind whether you were here or not.

Carter: Is that so?

Katie: You haven’t been thinking about me?

Carter: I might have asked pam to text me when you got done with your meeting.

Katie: Well, that explains the look she gave me. I thought it might have something to do with my sister.

Carter: How is she?

Katie: She’s heartbroken. She thought her marriage to ridge was solid and, all of a sudden, he’s leaving her. She can’t even say why.

Brooke: I just want some answers. I need ridge to come home and explain to me what happened. I– I have no idea what happened. So, our marriage is over, and he’s suddenly with taylor? Why? And how? What’s going on?

Hope: Ridge said he’s coming over, right? So, that could be good.

Brooke: Uh, yes. Yes, I suppose it could be. But, what if I can’t get through to him? I– I– I don’t know what else to do. And if I can’t, then our marriage could really be over.

Steffy: I think it’s really great you’re enjoying this time with douglas.

Thomas: You’re not gonna give me a hard time about not dating?

Steffy: No. I’m too happy to give you a hard time.

Thomas: That’s a once in a lifetime thing.

[ Car door thudding ]

Thomas: Car door. They’re here.

Steffy: Can you not on my coffee table?

Thomas: They’ll never– shh.

Steffy: What are you doing?

Thomas: They’ll never know.

Taylor: Hello!

Ridge: Hey, hey.

Steffy: Hey.

Thomas: Hey, you’re– you’re back.

Taylor: And– and back together?

Thomas: I know. Hah!

Steffy: What!

[ Laughing ]

[ Incoherent chatter ]

Thomas: Mom!

Taylor: I see you! I see you! Ah!

[ Laughing ]

Thomas: I almost don’t believe it.

Steffy: You gotta believe it. We’re finally back together.

Steffy: Forresters. The way we always wanted.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Oh, this is amazing.

[ Thomas chuckling ]

Ever notice how stiff clothes can feel rough on your skin?

Katie: These ad buys are going to completely round out our full saturation approach. Thank you both very much.

Justin & carter: All in a day’s work.

Carter: Okay, let’s never do that again.

Justin: Please, never.

Katie: All right, here you go.

Justin: All right. We’re all set. So, I’ll let you get back to it. Oh, and, uh, by the way, um, sorry to hear, word is getting around about brooke and ridge.

Katie: Yeah, well, I feel bad for my sister. I’m just hoping they can figure things out.

Carter: You’re a loving, loyal sister, katie.

Katie: Well, I know how much ridge means to brooke and how hard they’ve fought for each other and their marriage. But until she talks to him, all I can do is worry, and I know she wouldn’t want me to do that. She would want me to be positive.

Carter: And maybe I can help.

Katie: You already have. Is that why you were looking for me? You thought I might need some cheering up?

Carter: Or I do. You gave me quite the ego boost the other day. You said I looked like a trout.

[ Laughing ]

Carter: I just had no idea you, um… felt that way about me.

[ Laughing ]

Katie: I find that hard to believe.

Carter: It’s true.

Katie: Well, does that mean you’ve never thought about me?

Carter: You were with bill.

Katie: Not anymore.

Carter: Till quinn bailed on me, I thought I had something solid with her. But now–

Katie: Now you’re free to start something else.

Brooke: Oh, honey, you don’t have to wait around.

Hope: You need me. I’m here.

Brooke: Thank you. Actually, I would probably be driving myself absolutely crazy if you weren’t here. I still have so many questions.

Hope: So, ridge didn’t give you any sort of clue as to why he is now with taylor?

Brooke: No. I mean, yeah, there was that kiss in monaco that they had, but ridge explained that. He said he didn’t want that to impact our relationship.

Hope: Well, I know thomas and steffy took it as a sign that their parents should be together.

Brooke: Yeah. Steffy made sure that everybody knew, she wouldn’t let up, that’s for sure.

Hope: But I thought that ridge made it clear to her that he was committed to you.

Brooke: Yeah, he didn’T. He told me the same thing. And I actually believed him. I was just not gonna let anything or anybody come between us. Not steffy, not taylor, not the situation with thomas and douglas. Yeah, sure, sure, we were struggling a little bit, but we were working our way through things. And actually, we were in a good place.

Hope: But thomas, steffy and taylor weren’t going to accept that, so they drove a wedge between the two of you.

Brooke: And I really hate to say it, but I think that maybe it worked.

[ Forresters laughing ]

Steffy: Here you go. That’s for mom.

Taylor: Thank you.

Steffy: Love birds.

Ridge: Thank you.

Thomsa: You know, dad, if you have, uh, some luggage, I can– I can bring yours down, too.

Steffy: Yeah, we can bring the bags up to mom’s room. We could do that. Yeah, we should do that.

Taylor: You don’t need to fuss over us. Stop.

Thomas: Come on, we would do anything for you guys.

Steffy: Yeah, we should be doing more. You know what we should do? When the kids get home, we should have a barbecue.

Ridge: When the kids get home? They’re not gettin’ out?

Steffy: They’re not here yet. They’re very excited to do, like, an elaborate tea party for you. It’s really cute.

Thomas: You know, seeing you guys together, this is just, like… it’s so amazing.

Taylor: All feels right in the world now, you know? Us. We’re back together. And our beautiful, amazing, brilliant, wonderful kids are finally off our back.

[ Ridge gasping ]

[ Laughing]

Taylor: No, really. No, really. It’s– this is– this is everything I’ve– I’ve ever wanted. For all of us.

Music (“I swear”) plays

Carter: You know, we used to spend a lot of time together.

Katie: We used to do a lot of talking about bill and quinn. I don’t wanna do that anymore.

Carter: No argument here.

Katie: I do have one more question, though.

Carter: Yes, she’s really gone. And after speaking with shauna, I don’t think she’s ever coming back.

Katie: Well, I think that’s for the best, honestly.

Carter: Would you have wanted a clean break from bill?

Katie: Bill and I have a son. He’s always gonna be in my life. But honestly, we haven’t, um, connected as a couple in a while.

Carter: Mm.

Katie: Which is why I’m curious.

Carter: About me and quinn?

Katie: Yeah. You know, she had success, she had security. She’s a world-renowned jewelry designer. She was mrs. Eric forrester, and yet, she risked it all for you.

Carter: Thanks?

Katie: No, it’s just, you know, besides all of your success and talents. You obviously shook quinn to her core. Caused a seismic shift in her life.

Carter: And that idea intrigues you?

Katie: It does. Was the chemistry that hot?

Hope: You can’t lose hope. Because there is still a chance. And I know you still love him, and I have to believe that he still loves you.

Brooke: He does love me. He told me he always will. But that doesn’t mean we’ll be together.

Hope: Mom, I know you and I know you will be able to get through to him.

Brooke: I hope so, honey. But I am one small voice. He has his other family shouting in his ear all the time.

Hope: I know, because they’re trying to make it seem as if their connection and their love is more valid than yours when it is not. You are ridge’s wife.

Brooke: You’re right. You are. You’re right. And I don’t want to be at war with taylor and her kids. I don’T. God, I just want my husband back. That’s all.

Thomas: Okay. I want details. Like I was there.

Ridge: I assume that she told you every detail ad nauseam at this point.

Thomas: Yeah, well, I mean, have you ever heard her tell a story? It’s like–

Steffy: Excuse me?

Taylor: Steffy has good stories.

Steffy: Yes, I do.

Thomas: Okay, look, things seemed kind of bleak before you left for aspen. I mean, mom, you were thinking about leaving L.A.

Taylor: Well, that was the plan. But steffy convinced me to go to aspen and think things through. Don’t make any rash decisions.

Taylor: I mean, as much as I love your dad, I knew that he was torn and he was trying to make his marriage work. And our feelings for each other were making things very complicated, and it– it just didn’t feel right.

Ridge: Hey!

Taylor: But then he said that he came there to find me. Because he realized that I was the one that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

Ridge: And she didn’t believe me.

Taylor: I mean, I– I wanted to believe you.

Ridge: Eh.

Taylor: I did, I did. But I was– I was bawling my eyes out. And I was really fighting my feelings. So, naturally, I ran from them.

Ridge: And from me.

Taylor: Yes.

Taylor: But he didn’t let me get away. No matter how far or fast I ran, he didn’t give up.

Ridge: Can we please– can we please stop running? I’m gonna have a heart attack.

Taylor: Then stop chasing me.

Ridge: But I’m not that man anymore.

Taylor: Okay, what kind of man are you now?

Ridge: I’m a man who’s standing on a mountain in front of this beautiful woman, telling her that we can do this. That I’m not gonna let her down anymore.

Ridge: I want to be a better man.

Ridge: And you make me a better man. I want to be with you.

Ridge: For always. And she was so deeply moved that she said–

Taylor: What the hell took you so long?

[ Chuckling ] Cps agent: Child protective services.

Brooke: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger. Cps agent: And your name, ma’am?

[ Cell phone beeping ] Brooke logan. Please hurry.

[ Cell phone beeping ]

Brooke: Brooke logan. Please hurry.

[ Taylor & ridge laughing ]

Taylor: Uh-oh, I think we lost him. Thomas?

Thomas: No, no, I was just, uh, just thinking. Uh, so then brooke showed up?

Steffy: Not that it mattered. It was too late.

Thomas: Yeah. No, I just thought that maybe she was trying to plead her case.

Ridge: Why can’t you take some responsibility and just say it? Say to me.

Brooke: Say what?

Thomas: Brooke didn’t say anything?

Ridge: Why are we talking about brooke? What are we doing? I’m here with your mom, and yes, there’s only one question I have, and you’re right. What took me so long?

[ Laughing ]

Taylor: See? I knew I– it was– it was valid. Good question.

[ Mouthing ] Research shows that people remember ads with young people

Katie: It’s a serious question. What?

Carter: I’m just thinking, if bill heard you right now.

Katie: Is that really what you’re thinking?

Katie: I made it very clear that I’m not interested in pursuing things with bill.

Carter: I do want to make one thing clear, though.

Katie: Okay.

Carter: I didn’t never give you a thought. I’ve always noticed how incredible you are. How smart. How strong.

Carter: Beautiful. How sexy.

Brooke: What I share with ridge is more than history. We are connected on the deepest level. And taylor and her children, they’ve never understood that. They’ve never been able to accept it. But I am not giving up on ridge.

Brooke: Our love story is not coming to an end.

Taylor: I just– then– then, yeah. But the– it was–

Steffy: That’s great.

Taylor: And it was beautiful, too.

[ Taylor laughing ]

[ Chatter ]

Steffy: Are we leaving you out?

Ridge: What?

Thomas: Yeah, like, what are you doing? You gonna join the team? Come on.

Ridge: I’m– I’m the leader of this team, what are you talking about? I’m just standing back for a second because I… I like seeing you guys laughing together. Those– those are precious moments. We don’t have too many of those. I mean, that’s something that steffy and finn have taught us, right?

Taylor: That is– that is so true. And thank you for that. You know? You know, this moment, right here, that we’re living right now, I– I really didn’t think it was possible. And I didn’t think it would ever happen. Until your dad caught up with me on the top of that mountain and proved to me that anything is possible.

Ridge: Hm.

Taylor: True love wins in the end, we’re happy, we’re together and we’re ready to build the rest of our lives together.

Taylor: We did it, ridge. We did it. It’s another miracle for a family.

Thomas: Another miracle for our family indeed.

Hope: I get that you’ve never stopped wanting your parents to get back together, but to go about it in this way, luring ridge off to aspen?

Steffy: My father went to aspen all on his own.

Hope: And when he got there, you and your mother took full advantage of that, didn’t you? You couldn’t let another golden opportunity pass you by just like old times.

Steffy: No, that is not true. My father already made the choice to be with my mother for the rest of his life, not brooke.

Hope: Ridge will always love my mother, steffy. Always. And I’m sorry if that’s an inconvenience for you and taylor, but it’s the truth.

Brooke: Ridge, it’s me again. I really need to talk to you. I still have so many questions. Just call me or text, please. I love you.

[ Door opens ]

Brooke: Ridge?

Liam: No, sorry.

Brooke: Ah. Hi, liam. I just keep thinking ridge is gonna walk through that door, tell me it was all a big mistake and that he’s not back with taylor.

Liam: It could still happen.

Brooke: Yeah, I suppose. Just the more time that goes by, I– I’m not gonna go there, I– I’m gonna stay positive.

[ Sighing ] Just going to hope that it’s not the end for ridge and me.

Deacon: Who the hell’s that guy think he is? He comes in here throwing his weight around. And he’s got his face on these dollar bills. I– I don’t even know why he gets his hair that way. It’s ridiculous. Arrogant son of a–

Sheila: Don’t let it get to you. Okay? He’s– he’s not worth it.

Deacon: That’s for damn sure. It’s just he– god, he gets under my skin. Just wanna–

[ Grunting ] You know, he thinks he’s so much better than me.

Sheila: But he’s not.

[ Deacon sighs ] Is he richer? Yes. Does he have an incredible amount of influence? Definitely. But is he better looking?

Deacon: Watch it.

Sheila: Did, uh, did i hear him right, though? Ridge left brooke?

[ Thud ]

Katie: Have you recovered yet?

Carter: From humiliating myself, you mean?

Katie: You didn’t humiliate yourself.

Carter: I announced to an entire office of colleagues that quinn left me. If that’s not the textbook definition of humiliation, then–

Katie: First of all, they’re not just your colleagues, they’re your friends and they hate that this happened to you. Second, it’s quinn’s loss, not yours. You have no reason to feel humiliated.

Carter: Yeah? But the lawyer in me still wants answers. Like, why did she walk away when things were so good? I thought about reaching out to justin, have him tap into his old ways, do some digging, but I don’t wanna take him off the straight and narrow, he’s, doing some great work here. So I made a phone call myself.

Katie: I really hope you didn’t call quinn. I mean, I’m sure you’ve been trying to get a hold of her, but I– I think you’re better off without her.

Carter: Is that why you kissed me?

Katie: As I recall, you kissed me back.

Carter: Yes, I’ve been calling quinn, but that’s not who I’m talking about.

[ Knocking ]

Shauna: Oh, am I interrupting?

Katie: You called shauna for answers?

Shauna: Hi, katie.

Katie: Hey.

Carter: I figured if quinn opened up to anyone, it would be her best friend.

Shauna: And let me start off by apologizing because you did not deserve to be treated that way, carter, and I am really, really sorry. Truly.

Deacon: I guess ridge did what ridge does best, which is shatter brooke’s heart. Again. Bill just couldn’t wait to come running down here to tell me all about it.

Sheila: Or he was just marking his territory. Claiming dibs.

Deacon: Arrogance and delusional.

Sheila: Yeah. Well, you know, he is dollar bill spencer.

Deacon: Oh, dollar bill spencer.

Sheila: One of the wealthiest, most powerful men alive for whom nothing is unattainable, including a newly divorced brooke logan.

Deacon: Well, she isn’t divorced yet. And even if she was, doesn’t mean she’s gonna go running back into his arms. I mean, don’t forget she was already married to that jerk once. Didn’t work out then. There’s no reason to believe it would work out now. Brooke deserves– she deserves somebody better.

Brooke: If I could justE. I mean, there’s gotta be some way we can work through this. There’s– there has to be.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah, there has to be. And we’re pulling for you.

Brooke: Oh, thank you. I mean, that really means a lot to have you and hope in my corner.

Liam: Well, yeah. Well, we’re your family. Where else would we be?

Brooke: Well, ridge is my family too, but if steffy and taylor have their way.

Steffy: I know what it’s like seeing your own mother in pain.

Hope: She’s devastated, steffy.

Steffy: I’m not saying she isn’T. But brooke watched my mother be heartbroken over and over again. The blatant plays for my father, a constant assault on my family. You wanna defend your mom? I get that. I get to defend my mom, too.

Hope: Except you’re not just defending your mother, steffy. You’re condoning the destruction of a marriage. And if taylor hadn’t come back–

Steffy: Oh, really? Okay. So are you saying this is my mom’s fault, that my father doesn’t know his own mind, his heart? Because I can tell you, hope, he does. His heart is fully with my mother.

Laundry truths: The bargain

jug.

[ Carter sighing ]

Carter: Okay. You saw me and quinn not that long ago. How did we seem? Did I miss something?

Shauna: Other than me feeling like a third wheel? No. You both seemed very much in love.

Carter: We were. That’s why I don’t understand. I mean, she made comments about not being able to give me what I wanted– marriage, a family. But I told her none of that matters to me.

Katie: Yeah, but is that really true?

Shauna: Quinn’s extremely good at reading people, what they say and don’t say. And if she really felt deep down you did want those things, then that was probably part of it. And she said the same thing to me.

Carter: She did? What else did she say?

Shauna: Uh, you know, it– it was very quick. Nothing really except she felt horrible for leaving you. But she just felt like it was the best thing for both of you. Although I think that there’s more to it.

Carter: So I’m not crazy.

Shauna: You’re definitely not crazy. I mean, what she did was shocking. Cutting out after such a loving, passionate relationship? But then again, I’ve known quinn for so many years and I am used to her erratic behavior. But you, you definitely deserved more from her.

Carter: Still don’t get it.

Shauna: Carter, if I were you, I wouldn’t spend too much time trying to figure it out. Quinn’s who she is. And as much as she loved you, when something’s over for her, it’s over. Whatever the reason.

Sheila: Yeah. Whatever will poor brooke logan do without a man for five minutes?

Deacon: Lay off brooke, will ya? All right? She just lost her marriage. It– show a little compassion.

Sheila: For someone who hates my guts?

Deacon: No. For someone who happens to be my daughter’s mother.

Sheila: Yeah. That’s all she’s ever gonna be. I hate to agree with bill spencer on this one, but whatever future you think you have with brooke, it isn’t happening.

Brooke: Oh gosh, I’m– I’m sorry. Really, I didn’t mean to dump all this on you.

Liam: No, you’re not. I’m here to listen. And to– grab this ’cause it’s beth’S.

[ Brooke chuckling ]

Brooke: I’m just grateful, really, to have a loving and caring family. So, thank you.

Liam: Yeah.

Brooke: You and hope are wonderful.

Liam: Well, I’m always gonna have your back, and hope, she’s hope. She defends the people that she loves. That’s what she does.

Hope: Ridge has always been torn between our mothers, steffy. But even you have to admit that my mom has made him happy.

Steffy: When she’s not making him miserable, which is most of the time. That’s what it comes down to. Brooke can only behave herself for so long. She doesn’t let the happiness last.

Hope: Do you really despise my mother that much?

Steffy: No. I actually feel bad for your mom. She’s still making these mistakes. The same mistakes we made in our 20s. She doesn’t learn from them. And my father’s finally starting to realize that.

Hope: Yeah, thanks to you. And thomas and taylor constantly hounding him about all of my mother’s shortcomings.

Steffy: We don’t have to point anything out for my father. He can make his own decisions. I understand this is really hard for you and your mother, but right now I’m not really focused on that. It’s not on my radar. I’m focused on my family, my mother, and the joy she’s feeling now that she’s back together with my father. A dental tool is round for a reason.

Katie: Shauna is right. You’ll probably never know the full reason quinn did what she did. And in which case you’re–

Carter: I’m spinning my wheels looking for answers.

Shauna: I know quinn loved you. She just sometimes freaks out and bolts. And I hate that it happened, especially to such a great guy like you. But you’re not gonna be single for very long. I know there is a lucky lady out there that is going to make you forget all about quinn. Trust me.

Deacon: So you don’t think brooke and i have a future, huh?

Sheila: Mm-mm. I don’t see it in the cards.

Deacon: Maybe you don’t want me to see it because you’re jealous.

[ Sheila laughing ] Of brooke? Are you serious?

Deacon: Sheila, I’m just saying. You know, in a head-to-head competition, brooke’s beautiful. You’re beautiful. Brooke’s got brains. You’ve got brains. Brooke’s got sex appeal. You know she has that– she has that one quality that you lack. Um, she’s never been charged with attempted murder. It’s kinda sexy.

Sheila: Are– are you saying that I don’t have sex appeal? Because that’s definitely not the message I’m receiving every time we wind up between the sheets together or on the sofa, do I need to go on? Because there is definitely heat right here between the two of us. A heat that I know that you have never experienced with another woman. Not even with… what’s her name?

Brooke: I honestly don’t know what I’ve done to deserve a daughter like hope. I mean, she’s always lifting me up and supporting me and being there for me. And– and defending me. And I just wish she didn’t have to do that. I mean, I– I just want my husband back.

Liam: Listen, you know, just as steffy and thomas will always defend taylor, hope will always defend you. And you know something else, no matter what happens here, whether ridge stays over there with taylor or gets his ass back to you–

Brooke: Well he has to come back to me. We’re married. We have a life together, a life that seemed so promising just a few days ago until he saw something in me that made him change. He thinks that I did something and I have no idea what it is. I mean, what could possibly get ridge to upend our lives like this?

Hope: I’m focused on my family, too. Like, finding out why my mother’s marriage fell apart practically overnight.

Steffy: You don’t have to look any further than brooke. She’s the reason my father left her and went back to my mom.

[ Hope laughing ]

Hope: That is not true. My mother and your father were happy. Sure, they had their issues but they were working through them. And for ridge to just wake up one day and decide that taylor is his future–

Steffy: No, no, no. My father has always loved my mother. If you believe that this is temporary, you’re kidding yourself. My parents are committed to each other. You should have seen them in aspen. It was so beautiful. The love between my parents. There was no foul play, no misunderstandings. It was just peace and love. The sooner you and brooke get this through your heads, the better for everyone.

Music (“I swear”) plays

[ Door closes ]

Carter: Do you think shauna picked up on something?

Katie: How you really feel about quinn?

Carter: No. How I really feel about someone else. Someone who’s been so understanding and… so generous with her support.

Deacon: What a buffoon. You know, if ridge actually does make it official and divorces brooke for taylor, she could do a hell of a lot better than that clown.

Sheila: Oh… oh, someone like you?

Deacon: Yeah, someone like me. Yeah.

[ Chuckling ] Look, at least I’m not a– a an arrogant narcissist like he is. You know, on my good days. Like, come on, this guy has got so many issues. Brooke should just avoid him like the plague.

Sheila: Let me guess, then, you would just be all too happy to save her from him.

Deacon: I don’t know about save, but she is my kid’s mother. I mean, they’re close. Look, if bill winds up hurting brooke, then he hurts hope and I’m not gonna let that happen.

Sheila: Look at you being all chivalrist. Well, you know what? I hate to burst your bubble, sir lancelot, but no amount of chivalry is going to win lady logan for you. No, she’s always gonna belong to ridge, whether he wants her or not.

[ Deacon sighing ]

Liam: When you and ridge were in aspen, what exactly did he say?

[ Brooke sighing ] I can’t make sense of it. He asked me to just, “say it.”

Liam: Say what?

Brooke: I don’t know. That’s what’s so frustrating. What is it? I– is it something that I did with bill? Something with deacon?

Liam: Well, the thing with my dad was so long ago now it’d be pretty weird if ridge was carrying that around, especially since, you know, he forgave you for it.

Brooke: I know. And he already forgave me for deacon too. So if it’s not those two, what is it?

Liam: Okay. Well, then– brooke, you have to talk to ridge again to find out. The stakes are too damn high.

Brooke: Oh gosh, I know, liam. You don’t have to tell me.

[ Sighing ] My marriage, my life, my happiness, the man that I love, it’s all on the line because of steffy and taylor. I am not gonna let them win. I am gonna get to the bottom of this and when I do, I am going to fix it and ridge will come back to me. We will be together again.

Hope: There’s something you need to accept, steffy. My mother will never give up on ridge. What they have together–

Steffy: Had together. Everything has changed. Hope, I know it seems like I’m gloating right now, but I’m really not. I’ll admit there was a time when I was worried about my father, losing him to brooke and the logans. It was a dark, dark time. But we’ve moved on. My parents have reunited. Our family is whole again, hope. And it’s truly a wonderful time for us. For my family, the forresters.

Steffy: Just in the nick of time.

Thomas: Thank you.

Assistant: You’re welcome.

Steffy: Thank you.

Thomas: I think it’s gonna be good for us.

Steffy: Yeah?

Thomas: Yeah. I think we’re ready.

Steffy: Okay. Let’s get started. So, obviously, you guys know that, uh, my father isn’t here.

Paris: Yeah. Traffic was pretty bad.

Carter: Yeah. What else is new?

Thomas: He’s in aspen with our mother.

Steffy: Our parents are back together.

Katie: What?

Steffy: Yeah. My dad ended it with brooke and went back to his true love. Our family is finally reunited.

Hope: I– I wish I could help somehow.

Brooke: I just can’t make sense of it. I mean, ridge and I have had problems in the past, but we’ve always managed to work through it. But when did that change for ridge and why did ridge leave me for taylor?

Hope: But you don’t think it might have something to do with douglas’ custody?

Sheila: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You don’t need that. Spoils my view.

Deacon: What did I do to deserve my twinkle toes?

Sheila: Yeah. Well, I might only have nine toes, but I do still have nine lives.

Deacon: Ah. Lord, are you up there? Look, I– I know that I haven’t always been a good man, and I know you’ve sent sheila here to test me. And I’m just asking for some–

Sheila: Are you praying? Wait. What? Okay. Uh, the almighty told me that I need to lay down some– some ground rules.

Sheila: Oh.

Deacon: Yeah.

Sheila: Yeah. But you know what? I don’t like rules.

Deacon: Yeah. Well, here– here they are. So, rule number one, you get caught, okay? I had nothing to do with it. All right? You go to prison, you pay the consequences. Rule number two. Rule number two.

Sheila: Mm-hmm.

Deacon: You’re gonna stay here, you are gonna stay right here. Right in this apartment where you’re safe, okay? No crazy disguises. No little excursions to go see finn and hayes or taylor and steffy or whoever, you know? Just they’re off-limits. You got it? You got it?

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: Good.

Sheila: You know, listening to you barking out of all of these demands I– I gotta say though, that you’re very sexy when you’re serious.

Deacon: I am serious, sheila.

Sheila: Okay. I will abide by your rules.

Deacon: You will?

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: Okay.

Sheila: ‘Cause I don’t wanna go back to prison. And this dump is paradise compared to a cell. And I’ll do anything to stay out of prison and everything to make sure that I keep creating paradise for you, daddy.

Deacon: Hmm. Daddy like.

Hope: Please tell me it wasn’t the custody issues between the families that ruined your marriage because–

Brooke: Honey. Stop. I– no, you’re not responsible for what happened with ridge. But now that you bring it up, I have to say I’m not comfortable with thomas’s role in douglas’ life. That image of the knife is just stuck in my head. And it was right there by douglas.

Hope: Mom, douglas is perfectly safe. Okay? Thomas has changed.

Liam: Mm. I’m with brooke on this one. I know that’s shocking. But the guy has shown us how unreliable he is over and over again.

Hope: Okay. No, he’s not like that anymore. And I have spent plenty of time over at eric’s, I’ve seen it firsthand. And can we not change the subject here? Can we focus on you, mom? Because I’m tired of talking about thomas.

Thomas: Uh, yeah. So donna has had time to absorb the news, but this must be a shock and a blow to you. Brooke is your sister, and this is gonna be a difficult transition for her.

Katie: What– what are you even talking about? You knew about this?

Eric: Just since yesterday, katie.

Donna: Yeah. And– and we were hoping things would change.

Paris: This is crazy.

Carter: Ridge really ended it with brooke?

Steffy: Apparently my father did some deep soul-searching and then it finally hit him. He picked a future with my mom the way it should have been all along.

Thomas: Yep.

Deacon: I’ve gotta be a complete idiot. I mean, there’s no way this ends well. Me letting you stay here is gonna go down as one of the biggest mistakes of my life. And if you know anything about my life, that’s saying something.

Sheila: At least you’re doing it for a good reason.

Deacon: Oh, really? Enlighten me.

Sheila: You’re having the best sex of your life, you can’t deny that. And don’t forget the whole money thing. I’m in a position to get you some toys like that motorcycle you’ve been eyeing.

Deacon: You noticed.

Sheila: I notice everything. The better to please you, my dear.

[ Loud banging on the door ]

Bill: It’s bill spencer, convict. Open up.

Ever notice how stiff clothes can feel rough on your skin?

Hope: So you’ve heard nothing at all from ridge since he left for aspen? I mean, have you tried reaching out?

Brooke: Ridge was very clear. He wants to be with taylor. Though I don’t know what it is that made him want to leave me.

Liam: You don’t think it has something to do with my dad, do you?

Brooke: No. There’s nothing going on between bill and me. Ridge knows that.

Hope: So has ridge officially asked for a divorce?

Brooke: I don’t know really what’s going on. All I know is that ridge is in aspen and taylor’s there and they both spent the night there.

Hope: You think.

Brooke: I’m assuming. Sorry.

Hope: No, no, no. It’s okay. Don’t apologize.

Liam: You have every right to be hurt right now.

Hope: And we love you. Okay? We got you.

Katie: Brooke and ridge over? No, no way. This isn’t happening.

Paris: Yeah. This is really hard for me to wrap my head around and I can only imagine how unthinkable it is for the family.

Donna: Thank you. Yeah, we’re– we’re really worried about brooke.

Eric: So we are. But, uh, we’ll take care of brooke. Everything she needs.

Katie: This doesn’t make any sense.

Thomas: I’m sorry if the reason for our happiness upsets you, but I’m not sorry that my parents are back together. They never should have been apart.

Steffy: Yeah. Brooke had her time with our dad. She blew it. Well, I just wanted to let you know what was going on.

Eric: There’s something else, since we’re bringing everyone up to date. There’s some more news, sort of unexpected and, uh, not quite as joyful as you feel your news was. But, um, carter, you wanna tell them?

Carter: How do you know?

Eric: Quinn texted me. She thanked me for all her years at forrester creations.

Paris: Quinn is leaving the company?

Eric: Yes, she is. And she has already.

Carter: And not just the company. Quinn left me too.

[ Loud banging on the door ]

Bill: Come on, sharpe, open up.

[ Loud banging on the door ] Now.

[ Loud banging on the door ]

Deacon: To what do I owe this displeasure?

Bill: Believe me, being in here makes me wanna puke.

Deacon: Sure. Come on in here. If I knew you were coming I would’ve baked a cake. What’s this all about?

Bill: Am I keeping you from something?

Deacon: Why are you here?

Bill: Because I have news. Brooke and ridge are no more.

Deacon: No more what?

Bill: No longer a couple.

Deacon: Get out of here. I don’t believe you.

Bill: Ridge is back with taylor. And it wouldn’t surprise me if those two tied the knot.

Deacon: And you’re here for what reason?

Bill: To make it crystal clear. Don’t let that little pee brain of yours go to a place where you think you have a chance with brooke. ‘Cause I’m here to tell you it ain’t happening. You didn’t live this strong, this long to get put

Paris: Wait. So after all that, after everything quinn went through to stop you from marrying me, she just left?

Carter: Yeah. And I’m still struggling to process it. And what we did to you was so unfair. Should have been honest with you. I was in love with quinn, and I know she loved me. I know she did.

Eric: Yes, of course, she did.

Carter: That text, it’s the only contact you’ve had with her?

Eric: That’s all.

Donna: Quinn didn’t say anything to him before that.

Eric: No, not a word.

Paris: So you don’t know where she went?

Carter: No. Look I’m sorry my love life is hijacking this meeting. So can we just, uh, can we just move on?

Thomas: I’m really sorry, man.

Steffy: No apology necessary. I’m sorry. It is true I wasn’t the biggest fan of quinn. Her jewelry line did exceptionally well for forrester. So on that level, she will be missed. But today’s really about celebrating our parents’ reunion.

Katie: Well, just remember in all that celebrating, no one should ever count out ridge and brooke.

Hope: We’re going to be here for you, mom. Okay? No matter what happens.

Brooke: I still don’t understand it. I mean how are ridge and I suddenly over?

Hope: Well, if it’s any consolation, I don’t get it either. I don’t get why ridge went all the way to aspen in the first place. I mean, I know that things were a little tense because of the douglas situation, but–

Brooke: Yeah, not that much. I mean, we still could have worked through that. So what was it? What? Is it– is it bill? Is it because of your father? What? I don’t get it.

Hope: It’s going to be all right. Okay? It’s gonna be okay.

Brooke: Oh, honey. Thank you. I just–

Deacon: So brooke and ridge are over.

Bill: Hmm. That really surprises you.

Deacon: Doesn’t surprise you?

Bill: Hell no. And that proves my point. You’re not worthy, not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. You see, the reason none of this should surprise you is that it’s painfully obvious ridge always lets brooke down. And if you paid even the slightest bit of attention, you would know that. But I will give you some credit. You always seem to know when brooke is vulnerable, and that’s when you slither in bringing trouble with you like the gutter snipe that you are. Well, don’t even think about it. This is my turf.

Deacon: Your turf? That’s interesting.

Bill: Ridge’s loss is another man’s gain. And that man is me, not you. So I am giving you a fair warning. Stay away from brooke.

Deacon: And that’s because what? You’re– you’re staking your claim?

Bill: Because brooke will come to me and you can count on that.

Deacon: Look, man, I think you’re jumping the gun in this whole thing. All right? You’re looking at it all wrong. Yeah. Beat your chest and, you know, grinding your turf, whatever. But treating brooke like a piece of property, all that does is it shows that you’re the one that really doesn’t know her at all. And now please welcome ana montoya.

Bill: Brooke doesn’t want you, deacon.

Deacon: Well, then you’ve got nothing to worry about.

Bill: She’s been hurt enough by ridge. She needs a man that can make her happy. Well, that ain’t you. You are nothing but a two-bit con man, always looking for an angle. And I’m, well, me. And I will help brooke get over ridge while on my yacht, which I will fly her to on my private jet. Am I painting a picture that even you can understand, convict?

Deacon: See, bill, I think you’re confused on this whole thing. It– it doesn’t matter to brooke how many zeros the guy has in his bank account. You know, she follows her heart. And she’s gonna go where it leads her.

Bill: And it will lead her straight to me.

Deacon: Hmm.

Bill: Because I check every box, heart, soul, and wallet. So you see that you’re out of your league on every level. In fact, if it wasn’t for hope, brooke wouldn’t even wanna be in the same room as you.

Deacon: I’m sorry, bill. I– I can see that bothers you that brooke and I have a child together. Um, well, look, I think I’ve been patient long enough, so I’m gonna ask you nicely. Please. Pretty please. Go.

Bill: Well that I can happily accommodate because frankly, it stinks in here.

Deacon: This guy, man. I’ll tell you.

Bill: That’s just a reminder of who you’re dealing with. The dollar bill spencer.

Deacon: Hey, he’s got his face on the money. It’s pretty cool. I think he’s off his meds.

Sheila: Did I hear right? Ridge left brooke?

Brooke: Why? Why ridge? Why?

Operator: Child protective

services.

Brooke: Hello?

I’d like to report a child

in danger.

Operator: And your name,

ma’am?

Thomas: Brooke logan.

Please hurry.

[ Audio rewinding ]

Brooke’s voice: Brooke logan

please hurry.

[ Loud bang ]

Steffy: I’m guessing you heard the news.

Hope: Mm. A victory for the forrester’S. Or at least that’s what you’re thinking, right?

Steffy: What are you implying?

Hope: That I know how you and your mother operate.

Steffy: Operate? What exactly did we do?

Hope: You actively planned and plotted to steal my mother’s husband away.

Steffy: No, no, no. Um, my mother is not a homewrecker, so that’s, like, way off base. There’s nothing premeditated about it. My mom’s always been honest about her feelings for my father. She just never acted on it. My mom has more integrity than that.

Hope: Mm. Really? I think my eyes must have deceived me then because I was at eric’s and I saw the way she was flirting with ridge. How she took every opportunity to get her hands all over him while he was still a married man. So what integrity? Your mom went about this in the most underhanded way possible and you helped her.

Steffy: Okay.

Hope: But I’m not going to let you get away with it. You and taylor are not going to be the reason that my mom’s marriage gets destroyed. And I will do my damnedest to stop you.

[ Upbeat acoustic music ]

Thomas: I told you, I’m a one woman man. That woman is you. Stop! Hope is married. What’s wrong with me? Things are so great, especially since I finally got a way to get brooke out of dad’s life. I can’t be fantasizing about hope and me kissing. [ Door opens ]

Steffy: Will this line come together in time for the preview?

Thomas: Hey, steff. You bet it will. It’s gonna work.

Steffy: Hey.

Thomas: Hi. Hi. Come on. Oh! Good to see you. So, how was aspen? Boring as usual?

Steffy: Oh, you know, it was pretty uneventful. Can you believe it?

Thomas: I know.

Steffy: It finally happened. Our parents are back together. Oh my gosh.

[ Thomas laughs ]

[ Hope sighs ]

Liam: Hey, so did you end up hearing from your mom?

Hope: Uh, yeah, she actually just texted and said that we could come up whenever.

Liam: Oh, all right. I know you were, um, a little bummed when you got home too late last night to talk to her. Was that because, uh, you just– the line had delays or?

Hope: No, it’s just I had to get things ready for the press preview, finalize the lineup. And you know how I get before a showing.

Liam: Oh yeah, no. Yeah. A lot of midnight oil you’re burning.

Hope: Yeah.

Liam: Wish you didn’t have to burn it all with thomas, but hey, you know, it’s–

Hope: Let’s go check on my mom.

[ Pouring drink ]

[ Brooke sobbing ]

Liam: No.

Brooke: Liam, I need to

numb the pain, please.

Liam: This is more pain.

Brooke: What happened to us?

Katie: Oh, hey. Um, have you seen my phone?

Carter: Your cell.

Katie: My cell phone. Oh, thank god. Thanks.

Carter: It’s never a good feeling not knowing where your phone is.

Katie: Yeah, it’s a feeling I have often. Um, actually I was just about to text you, that’s when I realized that I didn’t have my phone.

Carter: Oh.

Katie: Yeah. I wanted to, um, I wanted to thank you for the bump in the budget for the international campaign.

Carter: That’s not a problem. I’m glad I can make the numbers work.

Katie: Me too. You’re busy. I’m gonna go.

Carter: Katie, wait. Um, I, uh, wanna talk to you.

Katie: Um, you wanna talk?

Carter: If you have time.

Katie: For the coo, I’ll make time.

Carter: Well, it’s, um, it’s unrelated to work.

Katie: Okay. Sure. Has quinn reached out?

Carter: No. And I don’t expect her to.

Katie: I’m sorry.

Carter: Thank you. Even though I know you think I can do better.

Katie: I do. Yeah, I do. This might just open you up for other possibilities.

Carter: Hmm. It’s funny you mentioned that because one planted a kiss on me last night.

Katie: She did? My gosh. So forward. Should be careful of that one. She sounds risky.

Carter: Oh. What’s life without a few risks?

[ Katie chuckles ]

Steffy: Is the show ready?

Thomas: Yeah. What? You don’t like it? ‘Cause dad said it was– it was ready. Like he– he gave his approval.

Steffy: Clearly dad has other things on his mind, like reuniting with his true love because this is absolutely… beautiful. I’m just messing with you. It’s amazing.

Thomas: Really cute. Really cute.

Steffy: Well, I’m your sister. It’s my– my duty to get you.

Thomas: And it’s my duty to get you back when you don’t expect it. So be ready for that.

Steffy: Oh okay. Good luck with that.

Thomas: Okay. So, tell me everything.

Steffy: Everything?

Thomas: Yes.

Steffy: What do you mean everything?

Thomas: About aspen? What was it like seeing those two together like in person?

Steffy: Thomas, I wish you could have been there. It’s happening. After all these years, our parents are finally back together. Brooke is out of dad’s life for good.

[ Thomas sighs ]

Hope: Mom? Oh, mom.

Brooke: Oh, honey.

Hope: Hi.

Brooke: Hi. Thank you for all your messages. I’ve just– I’ve just been, uh–

Hope: No, I get it. I get it.

Brooke: I– I don’t understand what happened. I really don’T. I don’t know why ridge left me for taylor.

Katie: I should probably apologize. I don’t normally go around kissing my friends like that.

Carter: That was a friendly kiss?

Katie: I just don’t know what came over me.

Carter: I’m not complaining. And I appreciate your honesty. The point you were making that even though I want a future with quinn, that there’s other women out there. I still can’t believe she left though.

Katie: I was surprised to hear that after everything you’ve been through.

Carter: I risked everything. And she tells me that she doesn’t wanna be married and knows that I do. That I want a wife and a family. But I told her, I told her that I don’t care. That I want her, but she still stands on that she can’t give me what I want. And– and she said it was the right time to go.

Katie: Maybe she was right about that. Maybe the two of you were meant to be together at that moment in time.

Carter: It’s probably a healthy way to look at it.

Katie: See?

Carter: But it doesn’t make it easier though. Why does this keep happening?

Katie: Well, maybe you’re just looking for love in all the wrong places, carter. I know the feeling.

Steffy: If you told me a few months ago how different our lives would be, I’d be shocked.

Thomas: Yeah. So much just turned around for our family. It wasn’t that long ago you were depressed thinking your husband was dead. We were all so worried about you.

Steffy: Well, finn is back. Our family is intact even more so that mom and dad are together. Really feels like a blessing.

Thomas: Definitely seems there’s a higher power at work.

Steffy: Good things happen to good people. Just– mom is so patient. She was really holding onto hope. And it just justifies that people like mom, people with dignity and integrity, they actually do win out in the end.

Hope: What can I do, mom? How can I help?

Brooke: Nothing you can do sweetie. Ridge left me.

Hope: Well, maybe it’s like when he went to eric’S. You know, he might just need some time and space to clear his head and figure things out.

Brooke: No, he made his decision. He thinks that life will be better with taylor.

[ Phone rings ]

Hope: It’s the babysitter. I should, I– I don’t have to.

Brooke: Get that sweetie. It might be important.

Hope: Hello? Hi. Yeah.

Liam: So, how are you doing?

Brooke: You didn’t tell her, did you? About me almost drinking?

Liam: No, no, I didn’t say anything.

Brooke: Oh. Thank you. Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Carter: Look, I know you’ve had rotten luck when it comes to relationships. But at least you had a shot. Failed or not, you know what it’s like to be married, to share your life with someone. And what’s crazy is, here’s the– here’s the crazy part, right? I was standing at the altar with a woman who wanted to marry me and I walked away because I believed I had a future with quinn. Obviously, I’m doing something very wrong.

Katie: You’re not doing anything wrong. You just haven’t found the one yet. Or maybe you have and the two of you just haven’t realized your potential.

Carter: And I thought I had that with quinn. I really did.

Katie: There’s someone out there, someone who will appreciate everything that you are. And you know, there’s a lot to appreciate. I mean, shall we just start with you are an incredibly successful businessman and attorney. You’re sweet, you’re sincere, you’re humble, you’re kind.

Carter: Keep going. Yeah. You’re on a roll. Yeah. Keep going please.

Katie: Oh. Oh, you want me to go on? Okay. Yeah. Sure. You’re funny. And I guess, you know, we should address the obvious. You’re handsome. Incredibly handsome. Insanely fit, like freakishly fit. You’re sexy. You’re a sexy man, carter. You are. And you’re sexier still because you don’t realize what a catch you are. But a lot of women around here do.

Carter: And are you one of those women?

Thomas: Such a great feeling. And mom finally ending up on top, I’m so happy for her, you know. And– and the whole family benefits. And the future is so much brighter, not just for you and me, but for our children too.

Steffy: Yeah. They get to grow up and see their grandparents in a healthy, caring relationship instead of what he had with brooke. Kids sense that underlying tension.

Thomas: Definitely.

Steffy: And this may sound childish, but we’re not the ones left alone this time. Our family fractured. It’s not today. Fractures have– have healed. We’re finally whole again.

Thomas: It’s pretty great. It’s– it’s amazing to have this– this joy back in our family again. I gotta say, I’m thinking over at brooke’s right now. You know, she and hope are probably feeling very, very differently.

Hope: Beth’s fine. It’s just a scraped knee. Oh, a kitty bandage. Oh, no wonder you’re feeling better already.

Brooke: Look, I poured the glass, but I didn’t take a sip. It was a moment of weakness that will never happen again.

Liam: Oh, yeah. No, I know. I just, uh, just be sure in case I’m not there next time.

Hope: It’s fine. I completely understand.

Brooke: Yeah. No, I– I have my sponsor and I can call him and I’ll be fine. Really. I will. Just don’t say anything to hope, please. I don’t want her to worry. She has so much on her plate.

Liam: I won’T.

Hope: Yeah. I totally understand. Yeah, we’ll see you soon.

Brooke: I’m very thankful you were there. It’s because of you I didn’t drink.

Hope: Okay. Yeah. Bye. Just a stumble on the playground.

Liam: Yeah?

Hope: Yeah. What’s going on?

Brooke: Uh, everything’s fine, sweetheart.

Hope: Except it’s not. You’re mourning the loss of your marriage, mom. Only that’s not what you two were talking about, was it? What’s going on? These things to any old guy. I mean it. I’m not gonna let you get down on yourself because you are a catch, a huge catch.

Carter: Hmm. Catch and release.

Katie: Oh boy. I have this very disturbing thought in my head of a– of a trout and it has your face on it. And maybe it’s one of those trouts on a plaque that like turns and sings.

Carter: If I’m gonna be a fish, could I be like a marlin or a swordfish or something?

Katie: Oh yeah. You’re absolutely right. You’re so much more marlin. I mean with like fins like this.

Carter: You have a beautiful smile and the best laugh I’ve ever heard.

Katie: Really?

Carter: Yes.

Katie: Thank you.

Carter: Thank you. I haven’t felt like laughing much since quinn left and you are bringing it out of me. I appreciate it. Also appreciate your kind words and your support. They really mean a lot to me. You really mean a lot to me.

Steffy: Here’s the thing, it’s probably a cry fest over at brooke’s house. And honestly, part of me does feel bad for her. She has to face that dad chose mom, but she’s gonna get over it. Mom and dad, they’re gonna get married the way it should have been all along. Dad’s done with all the misunderstandings and misbehavior. They’re back together. Today is the day. It’s here. Our parents are back together, thomas. So exciting.

Hope: Did something happen when I was on the phone or?

Brooke: No. Nothing happened, honey. Nothing at all.

Hope: So you– you haven’t heard from ridge yet? He hasn’t given you any sort of explanation?

Brooke: No, no explanation. I mean, I really can’t understand why this man that I know so well would just turn our lives upside down like this with no reason. I mean, and he– he wanted me to say what it was almost like I did something.

Hope: But you didn’T.

Brooke: No, I didn’T. And I don’t know what it could possibly be that would’ve upset him so much. He ran off to aspen without even saying a word to me. And he pledged his life to taylor. I mean, you don’t know how disturbing it is to think that the man that I love is feeling like he’s being betrayed somehow. I– I– I don’t understand any of this, honey. It doesn’t make sense to me. Why? Why is this happening?

Hope: Mom.

[ Brooke crying ]

Brooke: His father, thomas forster is unstable. He has a knife.

Operator: And your name, ma’am?

Thomas: Brooke logan. Please hurry.

[ Audio rewinds ]

Brooke’s voice: Brooke logan please, hurry.

[ Brooke crying ]

Brooke: Okay.

Brooke: I– I don’t understand what happened. I really don’T. I don’t know why ridge left me for taylor.

Katie: I should probably apologize. I don’t normally go around kissing my friends like that.

Carter: That was a friendly kiss?

Katie: I just don’t know what came over me.

Carter: I’m not complaining. And I appreciate your honesty. The point you were making that even though I want a future with quinn, that there’s other women out there. I still can’t believe she left though.

Katie: I was surprised to hear that after everything you’ve been through.

Carter: I risked everything. And she tells me that she doesn’t wanna be married and knows that I do. That I want a wife and a family. But I told her, I told her that I don’t care. That I want her, but she still stands on that she can’t give me what I want. And– and she said it was the right time to go.

Katie: Maybe she was right about that. Maybe the two of you were meant to be together at that moment in time.

Carter: It’s probably a healthy way to look at it.

Katie: See?

Carter: But it doesn’t make it easier though. Why does this keep happening?

Katie: Well, maybe you’re just looking for love in all the wrong places, carter. I know the feeling.

Steffy: If you told me a few months ago how different our lives would be, I’d be shocked.

Thomas: Yeah. So much just turned around for our family. It wasn’t that long ago you were depressed thinking your husband was dead. We were all so worried about you.

Steffy: Well, finn is back. Our family is intact even more so that mom and dad are together. Really feels like a blessing.

Thomas: Definitely seems there’s a higher power at work.

Steffy: Good things happen to good people. Just– mom is so patient. She was really holding onto hope. And it just justifies that people like mom, people with dignity and integrity, they actually do win out in the end.

Hope: What can I do, mom? How can I help?

Brooke: Nothing you can do sweetie. Ridge left me.

Hope: Well, maybe it’s like when he went to eric’S. You know, he might just need some time and space to clear his head and figure things out.

Brooke: No, he made his decision. He thinks that life will be better with taylor.

[ Phone rings ]

Hope: It’s the babysitter. I should, I– I don’t have to.

Brooke: Get that sweetie. It might be important.

Hope: Hello? Hi. Yeah.

Liam: So, how are you doing?

Brooke: You didn’t tell her, did you? About me almost drinking?

Liam: No, no, I didn’t say anything.

Brooke: Oh. Thank you. Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin! I’m craving something we’re missing. The ceramides in cerave. They help restore my natural barrier, so I can lock in moisture. We’ve got to have each other’s backwho? I’m just the flu!

Fight the flu with sanofi

They not only help prevent flu

in older adults,

they’ve even been shown

to provide better protection

from flu-related complications

compared to standard

dose flu shots.

Don’t get

fluzone high-dose quadrivalent

if you’ve had

a severe allergic reaction

to its components,

including egg products,

or after previous dose

of flu vaccine.

Don’t get

flublok quadrivalent

if you’ve had a severe

allergic reaction

to its components.

Tell your healthcare

professional

if you’ve had severe muscle

weakness after a flu shot.

People with weakened

immune systems

may have a lower

vaccine response.

This flu season,

you do have a choice.

Choose the protection

of a sanofi flu vaccine.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist

which sanofi flu vaccine

is right for you.

[Buzz] You can always spot a first timer. Gain flings with oxi boost and febreze. Eggland’s best. The only eggs with more fresh and delicious taste. Plus, supe rior nutrition. Because the way we care is anything but ordinary.

Rotten luck when it comes to relationships. But at least you had a shot. Failed or not, you know what it’s like to be married, to share your life with someone. And what’s crazy is, here’s the– here’s the crazy part, right? I was standing at the altar with a woman who wanted to marry me and I walked away because I believed I had a future with quinn. Obviously, I’m doing something very wrong.

Katie: You’re not doing anything wrong. You just haven’t found the one yet. Or maybe you have and the two of you just haven’t realized your potential.

Carter: And I thought I had that with quinn. I really did.

Katie: There’s someone out there, someone who will appreciate everything that you are. And you know, there’s a lot to appreciate. I mean, shall we just start with you are an incredibly successful businessman and attorney. You’re sweet, you’re sincere, you’re humble, you’re kind.

Carter: Keep going. Yeah. You’re on a roll. Yeah. Keep going please.

Katie: Oh. Oh, you want me to go on? Okay. Yeah. Sure. You’re funny. And I guess, you know, we should address the obvious. You’re handsome. Incredibly handsome. Insanely fit, like freakishly fit. You’re sexy. You’re a sexy man, carter. You are. And you’re sexier still because you don’t realize what a catch you are. But a lot of women around here do.

Carter: And are you one of those women?

Thomas: Such a great feeling. And mom finally ending up on top, I’m so happy for her, you know. And– and the whole family benefits. And the future is so much brighter, not just for you and me, but for our children too.

Steffy: Yeah. They get to grow up and see their grandparents in a healthy, caring relationship instead of what he had with brooke. Kids sense that underlying tension.

Thomas: Definitely.

Steffy: And this may sound childish, but we’re not the ones left alone this time. Our family fractured. It’s not today. Fractures have– have healed. We’re finally whole again.

Thomas: It’s pretty great. It’s– it’s amazing to have this– this joy back in our family again. I gotta say, I’m thinking over at brooke’s right now. You know, she and hope are probably feeling very, very differently.

Hope: Beth’s fine. It’s just a scraped knee. Oh, a kitty bandage. Oh, no wonder you’re feeling better already.

Brooke: Look, I poured the glass, but I didn’t take a sip. It was a moment of weakness that will never happen again.

Liam: Oh, yeah. No, I know. I just, uh, just be sure in case I’m not there next time.

Hope: It’s fine. I completely understand.

Brooke: Yeah. No, I– I have my sponsor and I can call him and I’ll be fine. Really. I will. Just don’t say anything to hope, please. I don’t want her to worry. She has so much on her plate.

Liam: I won’T.

Hope: Yeah. I totally understand. Yeah, we’ll see you soon.

Brooke: I’m very thankful you were there. It’s because of you I didn’t drink.

Hope: Okay. Yeah. Bye. Just a stumble on the playground.

Liam: Yeah?

Hope: Yeah. What’s going on?

Brooke: Uh, everything’s fine, sweetheart.

Hope: Except it’s not. You’re mourning the loss of your marriage, mom. Only that’s not what you two were talking about, was it? What’s going on? Age before beauty? Betty: Honorary forest ranger betty white here lending a hand to my dear friend smokey bear because for years, he’s only said… smokey bear: Only you can prevent wildfires. Betty: But there’s a lot more to say. Like if you park your car on tall, dry grass,

Carter: You’re good

Katie: At what?

Carter: You know exactly what to say to a guy, huh? This guy anyway.

Katie: Well, it’s not like I’m walking around saying these things to any old guy. I mean it. I’m not gonna let you get down on yourself because you are a catch, a huge catch.

Carter: Hmm. Catch and release.

Katie: Oh boy. I have this very disturbing thought in my head of a– of a trout and it has your face on it. And maybe it’s one of those trouts on a plaque that like turns and sings.

Carter: If I’m gonna be a fish, could I be like a marlin or a swordfish or something?

Katie: Oh yeah. You’re absolutely right. You’re so much more marlin. I mean with like fins like this.

Carter: You have a beautiful smile and the best laugh I’ve ever heard.

Katie: Really?

Carter: Yes.

Katie: Thank you.

Carter: Thank you. I haven’t felt like laughing much since quinn left and you are bringing it out of me. I appreciate it. Also appreciate your kind words and your support. They really mean a lot to me. You really mean a lot to me.

Steffy: Here’s the thing, it’s probably a cry fest over at brooke’s house. And honestly, part of me does feel bad for her. She has to face that dad chose mom, but she’s gonna get over it. Mom and dad, they’re gonna get married the way it should have been all along. Dad’s done with all the misunderstandings and misbehavior. They’re back together. Today is the day. It’s here. Our parents are back together, thomas. So exciting.

Hope: Did something happen when I was on the phone or?

Brooke: No. Nothing happened, honey. Nothing at all.

Hope: So you– you haven’t heard from ridge yet? He hasn’t given you any sort of explanation?

Brooke: No, no explanation. I mean, I really can’t understand why this man that I know so well would just turn our lives upside down like this with no reason. I mean, and he– he wanted me to say what it was almost like I did something.

Hope: But you didn’T.

Brooke: No, I didn’T. And I don’t know what it could possibly be that would’ve upset him so much. He ran off to aspen without even saying a word to me. And he pledged his life to taylor. I mean, you don’t know how disturbing it is to think that the man that I love is feeling like he’s being betrayed somehow. I– I– I don’t understand any of this, honey. It doesn’t make sense to me. Why? Why is this happening?

Hope: Mom.

thomas forster is unstable.

He has a knife.

Taylor: I know!

Steffy: Really?

Taylor: Yup.

Steffy: A pine cone?

Ridge: No, but it–

Taylor: Do not mock the cosmicness of it all. It was, uh, divine pining.

[ Steffy laughs ]

Steffy: Well, I’m just gonna go out on a limb here–

Taylor: Oh, yes!

Steffy: And say it was really romantic. Hey, I’m just like mom, okay? Honestly, though, it– it led you here, where you belong. But just in case, like, how many fingers am I holding up? Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh?

Ridge: Why would you tell her any of this?

Steffy: Did you get hit in the head or just–

Ridge: You know she’s gonna make fun of me. Why are you doing this?

Taylor: Because she’s gonna make fun of you.

Steffy: It’s true. Hey, whatever the reason, you came to your senses. And you realized what you have with mom. And you were open to taking dad back. It’s just really nice. I wish thomas were here.

Taylor: You know what? Let’s call him again.

Steffy: Yeah, let’s do it. Yeah. Love that.

Taylor: I– I think so too. “Out on a limb.” That was so funny. Oh…

Ridge: Goodbye, logan.

Brooke: Don’T.

[ Brooke sobbing ]

Katie: Thank you.

Bill: You’re welcome. Thank you for meeting me. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other without will.

Katie: Hm.

Bill: And I just thought that since he’s away at school, it would be a nice opportunity–

Katie: It’s been a long time, yeah.

Bill: I’m sorry, katie.

Katie: No, you don’t have to keep apologizing. I’ve accepted your apology.

Bill: Yeah, I know that, but I haven’t earned back your trust. It is killing me that I hurt you, that I tore our family apart. You deserved so much more, and I didn’t give it to you. But I can now.

Katie: Bill–

Bill: No, I– I can. I love you. I want my katie back.

Katie: Bill, we’ve been through all of this.

Bill: Things are different now.

Katie: How are they different?

Bill: I’m different. I– I used to tell you all the time that you make me better, that if there’s anything good about me at all, it’s because of you. You soothe the savage beast. But that was wrong of me. It’s not your responsibility to make me better. That’s on me. And– and I have been working to do just that. And it hasn’t been easy. But I’m trying. And if you come back to me, if you give us another chance, you will see that with your own two eyes. I will love you the way that you deserve to be loved.

Wow, bill.

Bill: I know, it sounds like somebody wrote that for me, doesn’t it?

Katie: It kind of does.

Bill: No. No. It’s all me. I’ve developed this freakish gift.

Katie: It’s pretty much what I’ve always dreamed of hearing.

Bill: It’s not a dream. It’s true.

Katie: And I believe you. I believe that it’s true in this moment. But if brooke were available, would it still be true?

Steffy: Leave it to donna to defend brooke after everything she put dad through.

Thomas: Yeah, she definitely

was defending brooke, but I’m

just sad granddad was in the

middle.

Steffy: Enough about brooke. She’s gone. Out of our lives. Speaking of gone, I’m gonna head out.

Thomas: Wait, you’re heading back to L.A. Already?

Steffy: Yeah, I think I should give these two some time alone.

Thomas: Okay.

Steffy: Dad, I know that thomas and I have been a little bit of a pain.

Ridge: A little bit?

Steffy: A little bit, but we– just because we know how great you two are for each other and how right it is to have our family back together.

Thomas: And walking away from all that pain? Putting your trust in a family you can really have faith in? You did good, dad.

Taylor: You did good.

Ridge: Okay.

Bill: Thank you. Katie, if we want to salvage our relationship, we have to look forward, not behind.

Katie: How can we look forward if we don’t deal with what destroys us every time, your love for my sister?

Bill: Katie, come on.

Katie: No… you said that brooke was the great love of your life. If that’s true, then what am I? I– I’m sorry if that’s blunt.

Bill: No, no, you’re– you’re protecting yourself, and I get that. There– there was a time when i had deep feelings for brooke.

Katie: But not anymore?

Bill: I’m sitting here with you. I’m trying to find a way back to what we had. You are my focus, you and will.

Katie: But what about brooke? No, it’s a valid question.

Bill: There– there is no brooke. There’s nothing. She is married to ridge.

Katie: But what if she weren’t? What if she were available? Can you honestly say that you would stay away?

[ Brooke sighs ]

Ridge: You don’t have to rush out of here.

Steffy: Oh, please.

Taylor: No, no, you don’T. You don’T. I’m sure the kids miss you and…

Steffy: Oh, okay. Yeah, I’m– I’m going.

Taylor: I’m– I’m gonna help you. I’ll help you pack.

Steffy: Dad, I love you.

Ridge: I love you more.

Steffy: Oh, I’m so glad you came to your senses. I am.

Taylor: Come on.

[ Phone rings ]

[ Phone beeps ]

Ridge: Thomas, hey, I just talked to you.

Thomas: Hey, dad. Um, can you talk? You alone?

Ridge: I am alone.

Thomas: Yeah, I just wanted to check on you after everything. So, brooke never…

Ridge: No, she did not. Look, I just want her to admit it, that’s all.

Thomas: She still didn’t confess to calling cps on me and trying to separate me from my son?

Ridge: No, she did not. What about you? Did you hear from child services ever?

Thomas: No. Nothing. Look, dad, I know you’re hurting, but walking away from brooke is the best thing you could have done for yourself and your family. And I– I want to thank you. Not only for going back to mom and reuniting our family, but sticking up for me and my relationship with my son. So, forget about brooke. All right? Focus on mom, your life and your future together.

Ridge: Okay. I’ll talk to you soon.

[ Phone beeps ] Some days, it felt like asthma was holding me back.

Katie: I’m not trying to put you on the spot or make you defensive. I’m just… I’m just trying to be realistic.

Bill: People change, katie.

Katie: They do. We both have. Would I like to reconcile with you and be a family again and spend my life with you? Yes, that’s what I’ve always wanted. I know you love me.

Bill: Of course I do.

Katie: But you also love my sister. And that’s something I can’t live with. Goodbye, bill.

Bill: What is it, othello?

Othello: I’ve got some news you’ll want to hear.

Bill: Is there a problem? Everything okay with steffy and taylor at the house?

Othello: Yeah, yeah, everybody’s good. Well, almost everyone. Brooke is here.

Bill: What? Brooke’s in– in aspen at the house?

Othello: Yeah, and she’s not alone. She wasn’t the only one. Bill, ridge is here as well. But here’s the thing. They didn’t come together.

I showed up just to check on

things, and I saw ridge

and brooke outside,

and it was pretty intense.

Bill: What do you mean? How intense?

Othello: The marriage is over, bill.

Bill: Uh, how could you make that determination?

Othello: Lots of crying. Ridge is in the house right now with steffy and taylor, and they’re looking like one happy little family.

Bill: What about brooke?

Othello: Oh, she left. A contact told me she got on the forrester jet and she headed back to los angeles. That was a while ago, though, so she’s probably gonna be there soon.

Bill: Thanks for the– for the information. I– I appreciate it.

Taylor: Yeah, who else? You know, I– I love our kids, but, um–

Ridge: Yeah, I do too, but it’s nice to be alone.

Taylor: Yeah. We waited a long time for this.

Ridge: Sorry I made you wait.

Taylor: But you’re here now.

Ridge: Uh-huh.

Taylor: I love you.

Ridge: I love you too.

Carter: Hey. Here’s the, uh, final budget for the international campaign. I was able to get you a little more than what you proposed. What’s wrong?

Katie: It’s nothing.

Carter: Well, it doesn’t seem like nothing. Talk to me. I’m your friend. What’s going on?

Katie: I saw bill. And he says that he wants to make up for all of his mistakes and that he wants me back.

Carter: And that’s not a good thing?

Katie: It’s a great thing. I just have to wonder that if my sister were available, would he be standing on her doorstep? I just don’t want to go through that again.

Ridge: I can’t ever lose you again. You bring out the best in me. You know me better than anybody. My logan.

Brooke: Your logan.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Ridge: My mother always

wanted us to be together.

So, what do you think, logan?

Will you marry me?

Brooke: Yes, ridge,

I will marry you.

[ Knock at door ]

Ridge: Okay.

Taylor: Yeah.

[ Ridge exhales sharply ]

[ Taylor chuckles ] Yeah, you’re welcome. That was worth the wait.

[ Taylor laughs ]

Ridge: I’m a lucky man.

Taylor: Yeah, you are. And don’t you forget it. Am I dreaming?

Ridge: I don’t think so.

Taylor: I love you so much.

Ridge: I love you.

Brooke: I want to be alone, bill.

Bill: Ridge let you down again. I’m sorry.

Brooke: Why are you here?

Bill: Because I told you i would always be here for you. I meant it.

Brooke: Ridge left me for taylor. But it just doesn’t make any sense. And I don’t know why. Why?

Thomas: You heard the recording, dad.

Brooke: I’d like to report a child in danger.

Ridge: What? What– why can’t you just say it? You owe me that.

Brooke: Okay, I’ll say whatever it is you need to hear me say so we can get through this.

Ridge: What I need to hear the truth from you.

Brooke: I love you, and I don’t wanna lose you, and that is the truth.

Ridge: That’s not all of it. Why can’t you take some responsibility and just say it? Say it to me.

Brooke: Say what? I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester. His father, thomas forester, is unstable. He has a knife.

Steffy: They are.

Taylor: Are they, really? ‘Cause look what I’m doing right now. I’m sitting here waiting to see if your dad changes his mind again.

Steffy: That’s not gonna happen. He’s committed to you. You heard him.

Taylor: Yes, and I’ve heard him before. But brooke knows how to get into his head. She just does this thing where she just gaslights him. I just–

Steffy: Mom, I’m telling you, dad’s finally seen the light. He wants to be with you. It’s not gonna work out for them, no matter how hard brooke tries.

Brooke: Take my hand. Okay? We’ll go to the plane. We’ll fly home. We’ll be there together as husband and wife.

Ridge: Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop, please. I can’t do this with you.

Sheila: If this is really so upsetting to you, I can take the wine and the whiskey back.

Deacon: No, no, no. No, no, you’re not going anywhere. You’re not leaving this apartment for any reason. What were you thinking creeping around il giardino?

Sheila: I was thinking of you. How wonderful you have been and the risk that you’ve taken allowing me to stay here. I wanted to take a risk for you.

Deacon: Well, don’T.

Sheila: I was careful. No one even noticed me. Not even nikki newman the other day. So, what was nikki doing here in la? She here on business? Or was she trying to rekindle an old flame?

Steffy: I can’t see brooke’s face. I can’t see if dad’s, like– is he mad? She’s, like, freaking out.

Taylor: I don’t need a play by play, steffy.

Steffy: Mom, you’re the one who wanted to stay inside instead of go out there.

Taylor: I changed my mind.

Steffy: Okay. Mom, I promise you, brooke being here is not gonna change anything.

Taylor: Okay, well, our history says otherwise.

Steffy: Yeah, dad’s looking towards his future, and his future is with you. Brooke is his past, and it wasn’t a happy one.

Taylor: Okay, but she made him happy at one point, which is why he stayed with her so long, and she’s gonna remind him of that. And he doesn’t want to hurt her, and I don’t either but I certainly don’t wanna get hurt.

Steffy: It’s not gonna happen. Dad’s putting an end to their marriage right now.

Taylor: God, I hope so. You know what? I’m gonna go get some fresh air. ‘Cause I– just in case I need to, you know, prepare myself.

Steffy: Mom…

Brooke: No, ridge. I don’t believe it. You wouldn’t do this to me.

Ridge: I know how you feel. I will love you forever.

Brooke: Well, let’s talk, please. I don’t understand any of this. I thought everything was good between the two of us.

Ridge: It was all right there. I talked to you. I tried to talk to you. All I wanted, the only thing I wanted from you, needed from you, was for you to be honest with me.

Brooke: Honest about what? I honestly don’t even know what you’re talking about, ridge. I was planning a romantic dinner for the two of us, and then all of a sudden, you’re on a plane headed to aspen without even telling me anything about it.

Ridge: Hey, look at me. My family. My family. You always understood what they meant to me.

Brooke: Well, I don’t understand this. This doesn’t make any sense to me at all, ridge. I love you. I’m your logan. And you can’t– you can’t just leave me like this. This can’t happen.

Ridge: Goodbye, logan.

[ Brooke sobbing ]

Brooke: Don’t leave.

[ Brooke sobbing ] (Peaceful music) I love being alive, man.

Deacon: So, you know nikki was here. How?

Sheila: I saw her.

Deacon: So, you were at il giardino? What? You following me?

Sheila: Oh, I was just stretching my legs. In disguise, of course. Yeah, and lo and behold, I see you with nikki newman all the way from genoa city. What does she want, deacon?

Deacon: I owed her a favor. No big deal. It’s done, she’s gone.

Sheila: Somebody shows up that we both know in los angeles, and you don’t mention it to me?

Deacon: You know, if I didn’t know better, I’d– I’d say you’re jealous. That is so cute. Um, listen, don’t– just forget about nikki, all right? As long as she didn’t see you, don’t worry.

Sheila: Good. Because I want every inch of this for myself.

Ridge: Steffy. Taylor. Hi.

Steffy: Hi.

Ridge: Seen your mom?

Steffy: Yeah, she went out to get some fresh air. She couldn’t stomach seeing you and brooke for so long.

Ridge: Oh. Oh, you saw.

Steffy: That brooke’s here? Yeah. I wanted to go out there, but mom insisted that we stay in here and see how you handled things. So… what’s the verdict? You tell her that you’re… you’re going back to mom?

Ridge: I’m here, right?

Steffy: So, you said it’s over? That you’re recommitting to mom?

Ridge: Yeah, I did.

Steffy: You did?

Ridge: Yes.

Steffy: You did? Oh, my god, dad.

Ridge: It’s not easy.

Steffy: I know– no, no, I get it. I know it’s– I know it’s not easy for you, but do you know what this means? For you and mom? Our family? This changes everything, and it’s gonna be amazing, it really is.

Ridge: I know. Um, I’m gonna find your mom.

Steffy: Yeah, no. Go, go, go.

Brooke: What do you want, steffy?

Steffy: My dad told you. He’s back with my mom. With my family. You know, he left you because he wants a life filled with happiness and support. Not lies and betrayal. He came to her, brooke. It was his decision. Yeah, he wrestled with it for a while now, but… it’s clear to my father. I hope it’s clear to you too. Your time with my father is over.

Brooke: Let me get this straight. So you know what happened, and you came out here to make me feel worse?

Steffy: I’m just making sure you respect my father’s wishes. Try not to ruin this for my mother.

Brooke: I know that you’re thrilled about the end of my marriage.

Steffy: See? There you go again. There you go, making this all about you. My mother never stooped to your level. She always held on to her dignity and principles. And to the idea of staying true to yourself. It would pay off in the end. Today it has.

Brooke: Well. At least you’re not above your victory dance.

Steffy: No, I’m not gloating, I’m just stating the truth. You and my father’s chapter is over. It’s my mother’s turn now. It’s her time. Just shows you that goodness and dignity really does win in the end. Make no mistake, brooke. This is the end for you and my father.

Steffy: Brooke’s gone.

Thomas: And mom and dad?

Steffy: They’re together.

Thomas: Brooke will never bother us again.

Ridge: Taylor. Brooke was here.

Taylor: And?

Ridge: Listen, I want a life that’s filled with love and happiness, honesty. I want a life with you. Is that okay?

Thomas: You’ll never bother us again, brooke.

Brooke: Why would you come here to make promises to taylor, when you and i are married? I mean, we love each other, ridge. You do still love me, don’t you? Whatever this is about, I refuse to give up on us.

[Taylor huffs]

Steffy: How you doin’, mom? How are you feelin’?

Taylor: Honestly steffy, my head is spinning right now. Between taking your father on a 5k and, crying my eyes out every single time he told me he wanted to spend forever with me, and… I’m just, uh–

Steffy: It’s a lot. It’s a lot. But you and dad are back together. It happened.

Taylor: Yeah. Just when I was giving up on us.

Steffy: You know, the… the world has a, a funny way of working things out when it’s meant to be.

Taylor: Yeah, and I wasn’t so sure about that but, but it happened.

Steffy: It did happen.

Taylor: It happened.

Steffy: You and dad back together after all of this time.

Taylor: Steffy.

Steffy: You deserve it mom, you really do. Thank you. Oh, my god.

Taylor: What?

Steffy: Brooke!

Thomas: This is awesome.

[Chuckles] Oh man, my dad and my mom back together, this has gotta be one of the best days ever.

Eric: Are you absolutely certain about this? There’s not chance you could have misunderstood?

Thomas: Not really, granddad, I mean, it was a video call with my sister and my mom and my dad, and they told me. I could just see their, their love and their happiness.

Donna: Oh. Yeah, happiness at my sister’s expense.

Thomas: What about all the happiness your sister has cost my family?

Eric: Now, we’re not gonna do this.

Thomas: Yeah, you’re right, granddad. Donna and I are never gonna see this the same way. After years of her defending her sister, I’m sure that’s a hard habit to break.

Donna: It’s not a habit… thomas. Look, eric, I’m not just gonna stand here quietly like this and… if what you’re saying is true, my sister’s gonna be devastated.

Thomas: It is true. And brooke’s just gonna have to deal with it, okay? Look, after years and years of– of brooke hurting our family, causing all this heartbreak? Your sister and my father are over.

Steffy: No way. Brooke is here? Oh, no, no, no. I have to go out there–

Taylor: No, no, no, no, no, no, don’t, don’t–

Steffy: What?

Taylor: This– this is a good thing. I want to see how your father handles this.

Steffy: We all know how brooke operates, she’s gonna do whatever she can to get what she wants.

Taylor: Okay, okay. But your dad just told me the most beautiful things and one of them was that he wanted me to trust that he– he wanted to spend his life with me. And only me. So, we’re gonna trust him.

Brooke: Uh, I– I really don’t understand. I mean, have I done something, maybe, that has upset you? I– I can’t imagine what it could possibly be for you to come here and do this.

[Thrilling music plays]

I’d like to report

a child in danger.

His name is douglas forrester. For the love of god, ridge, tell me what is going on.

[Brooke sighs] What makes the l’oréal vitamin c serum different?

Eric: I think maybe we should change the subject. I don’t want things to get out of hand. Ah, it’s not gonna get out of hand, granddad. And look, donna understands where I’m coming from, I understand where she’s coming from, and… look. It’s her sister, we’re talking about. She’s always gonna defend her.

Donna: Uh, no. Not always. Not about everything. But when it comes to her marriage with ridge? Look, br– brooke is not just gonna stand by and, and let your mom take the man she loves. That is true, my dad is never more attractive to her than when she’s about to lose him–

Eric: We’re not, we’re not, we’re not gonna do this–

Thomas: It’s true, granddad. I mean, this is, this is the history of what happens. Brooke drives my dad away, she hurts him somehow and then she tries to pull him back in– it’s like a game for her.

Donna: Okay, I don’t see it that way at all. But for your granddad’s sake, I think we should just agree to disagree.

Eric: Thank you.

Thomas: That’s completely fine. I’m in too good a mood to let this bring me down.

Eric: Well, no one intends to do that. Look. I understand completely how, how happy it makes you to have your parents back together again, I do.

Thomas: Right. But you’ll always have a soft spot for brooke.

Eric: We were married, we share a history. We share children. I’m very fond of her but I’m fond of taylor, too.

Thomas: Oh. Anyway, it’s finally happened. Brooke’s days with my dad are over.

Donna: You know, I bet brooke is in aspen right now with your father, as we speak.

Thomas: She shouldn’t be.

[Donna chuckles]

Donna: She has every right to defend and protect her marriage, thomas.

Thomas: It’s hard to defend and protect something when you keep attacking it. But you know what? I get it. Logans are always gonna stick together.

Eric: Brooke is donna’s sister, thomas. Of course.

Thomas: That makes everything brooke does okay? I mean, who’s side are you on, granddad?

Eric: It’s not about being on one side or the other. Look, the problem here is that I don’t think we should be interfering at all in this situation.

Thomas: Isn’t that exactly what brooke is doing? She’s interfering with my dad trying to be with my mother.

Donna: Okay, what– what do you not get, thomas? Ridge is still married to my sister.

Thomas: It’s over between them, donna.

Donna: You know, honestly thomas, I don’t think it’ll ever really be over between your father and my sister. There’s just too much love there.

Thomas: And there’s a lot of heartache, too, of brooke’s own making, you can’t even deny that.

Donna: More to the point. My sister would never deny that. She’s always owned up to her mistakes.

Thomas: Sure, she owns up to it after everyone else finds out about it and makes it known. You know–

[Phone rings] Oh. It’s steffy. Hey sis, how’re the love birds?

Steffy: That’s why I’m calling. Are you alone?

Thomas: Uh, no, I’m actually here with granddad and donna. Here, I’ll put you on speaker.

Eric: Steffy, hi. How are things in aspen?

Steffy: Well, it was wonderful.

Thomas: “Was.” Uh, what’s wrong?

Steffy: Brooke. She’s here in aspen. She’s with dad right now.

How did she find out dad

was here with mom and me?

Donna: I told her.

Steffy: Why, donna? Why do you have to get involved with everything? Of course, you’re going to do anything for your sister.

Donna: She’s family, steffy.

Steffy: I have family, too. A family that was pulled apart because of your sister. My dad’s here because he wants to see my mom. So, my father’s days with brooke are over.

Donna: Maybe, maybe not. But one thing you, your mother and brother should never do, ever, ever count out brooke and ridge’s love for each other.

[Steffy sighs]

[Brooke sighs]

Brooke: Just say something, ridge. I don’t really like this not knowing.

Ridge: Not knowing what?

Brooke: Not knowing why you hopped on a plane and you flew to aspen without even a word to me about it.

Ridge: That’s it? That’s– that’s what you’re upset about?

Brooke: I’m upset because

[Sighs] Steffy, thomas and taylor, they have been trying to break us up for a long time, now. They’ve been playing on your emotions and they’ve been pressuring you–

Ridge: Wow. This has nothing to do with them. Yes! This has everything to do with them. They have worn you down, ridge!

Ridge: Look, what are you– I don’t–

Brooke: Look, I’m not gonna let this happen. I’m not.

Ridge: You’re not– you’re not gonna let it happen?

Brooke: Whatever you said to her, whatever promises were made, it doesn’t matter. Because I see the way you look at me ridge, you still love me and I love you. And that’s the way it’s always going to be, so please, just… tell me, what is it? I mean, is it bill, is it deacon? Is it, what? Something else?

[Thrilling music plays]

Brooke: Okay, I– I don’t care, whatever it is. We’re going to get home and we’re gonna work through this and we’re gonna work through it together.

Ridge: We’re not working through anything. My mind’s made up.

Brooke: What do you mean it’s made up?

Ridge: How– how do you not see this? We’re finally here. Everything’s caught up with us.

Brooke: Oh, gosh, I– i don’t know what you’re talking about. Okay, maybe this is about your children and how you weren’t there–

Ridge: It’s still not about them. It’s so much more complicated than that.

Brooke: Well then, what? What is it! Tell me what brought you to this point!

If you have this…

[Clack]

Thomas: It’s not gonna change anything, brooke’s desperate attempt to keep my parents apart.

Donna: It’s not desperate, thomas. It’s love. Brooke and ridge are in love.

Thomas: Yes, well, my mother loves my father but she doesn’t betray him over and over again.

Eric: Well, ridge always forgives brooke.

Thomas: He shouldn’t be with someone he always has to forgive, kay? I mean, at some point in a relationship like that he’s gotta look at it and say, “I don’t– i don’t want the lies, I don’t want the betrayal anymore. I want to be with someone more like…”

Eric: Like your mother.

Thomas: Yeah. Well, that’s why he’s with her right now. That’s why he’s distancing himself from brooke. Brooke just brings him chaos. And with my mother he has peace. And you’ve gotta know how much that means to him. But. You still believe in brooke and my dad.

Donna: We both do, thomas.

Eric: Thomas, I admire your mother. In no way am I diminishing how important she is in ridge’s life. But I agree with donna. You cannot count out ridge and brooke. And I think right now, your sister and your mother are learning the same thing.

Steffy: I still think I should go out there.

Taylor: No. No, no, no, no. This is between your father and brooke–

Steffy: If donna hadn’t told brooke that dad was here–

Taylor: It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. Your father would have had to face her at some point–

Steffy: But then, she wouldn’t have spoiled things for you two.

Taylor: She hasn’t spoiled anything. Yet. I mean, would I have preferred if she stayed in L.A., Sure. But, you know, this is what brooke does, she bring the drama. Your father knows that better than anyone.

[Sighs]

Steffy: She’s gonna do everything to get to dad. But you’re right, you’re right, it’s not gonna work. Dad made his decision and he wants to be with you. It’s not gonna work, no matter how hard brooke tries.

Brooke: Whatever you’re holding in, just say it. Say it, so we can deal with it. Please.

Ridge: I’m sorry. This is where I need to be.

[Brooke sighs]

Brooke: No, no, this is not where you need to be, you need to be home with me, so we can work through whatever is going on, here. Okay, obviously I have done something. That’s why you’re here. But, for the life of me, I can’t figure out what it is. Ridge, if you’re not ready to talk about it, that’s okay, I’m not gonna pressure you. All you need to do is get on that plane with me and we’ll fly home, together, and you and I can work through this. Together. That’s what we do, we can get through anything. I believe that. Tell me you believe that, too. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Thomas: No one knows better than I do, the hold that brooke had on my dad. But, it has to end sometime. And today’s the day.

Eric: Now, brooke’s with your dad, right now.

Thomas: Yeah, and she can tell herself they are destined to be together all she wants. But my dad believes differently, otherwise, he wouldn’t be in aspen right now, committing to a life with my mother.

Donna: Okay. I’m just gonna say this: Your mother, she is a remarkable woman. But, the true love of your father’s life is and always will be my sister. Can we just, can we go for a ride, please. I think, um… I think I just need to get out of here.

Eric: All right, come on. Come on.

Steffy: Mom–

Taylor: Yup-yup, uh-huh?

> Steffy: Are you okay? I’ve– I think I am. Yup, I’m just, um, uh…

Steffy: You just wish you could lock brooke in a gondola?

Taylor: No.

Steffy: No.

[Both] Yeah.

Taylor: Oh, honey, I’m–

Steffy: What’re you thinking?

Taylor: I’m thinking, um… okay. I believe your father. I want to believe your father and… honey, this is why I– I didn’t want to do this again. Your father just chased me all over the mountain and convinced me that he wanted me in his life forever, and that he had changed. And the thought that he might be returning to brooke, it’s–

Steffy: That’s not gonna happen. It’s not. I know it feels like brooke always wins but dad’s eyes are open and he sees what he could have with you. And that’s a life filled with happiness, no more tears, no more betrayals. You bring so much goodness in his life and a love, a love that brooke knows nothing about. You’re everything to dad. You’re everything he deserves. It’s not brooke, mom? Okay? It’s never been brooke. Okay?

Brooke: I know you still believe in us, ridge, our love. It’s what holds us together whenever anything tries to come between us. It’s what’s helped us overcome all our challenges in the past and it’s gonna help us overcome this, too.

[Ridge clears throat] Like I said, I don’t care what you said to taylor. I know you feel a pull towards your other family and I get that, I respect that but you. Are. My. Husband. And you’re gonna come home with me and we’re gonna work through this together, like we always do. I know you, ridge. I know there’s something that you’re not saying and I wish you would just, just say it, just–

Ridge: Why– why are you doin’ this? Why are you– why are you pretending that you don’t know what this is?

Brooke: I don’T.

Ridge: Can you just be honest and, and say it? I just need to hear you say it.

Brooke: Say what? I… I don’t know what it is you want me to say? I mean… what do you think I did?

I’ d like to report

a child in danger. His name

is douglas forrester.

Please get there

as soon as possible.

His father, thomas forrester,

is unstable. He has a knife.

Respondent: And your name,

ma’am.

Brooke: Brooke logan.

Please hurry.

Thomas: Calling child protective services on your husband’s son, something ridge forrester would never forgive. Only it wasn’t you, brooke. It was me.

[Dialing]

Brooke’s voice: Only it wasn’t you, brooke. It was me.

[ Joyful music ]

Taylor: Oh. Is this really happening?

Ridge: Oh, it’s happened, it’s done. We’re back together. I’m never leaving you again.

Taylor: ‘Kay, I’m gonna believe you. Because you’re right here. In my arms.

Ridge: Back where I belong. I love you, doc.

Taylor: I love you, too.

Steffy: Oh, my god.

[ Phone ringing ] Hey.

Thomas: Hey, uh, I’m back at granddad’S. Why aren’t you calling me?

Steffy: Nothing new to report. Mom and dad still aren’t here.

Thomas: Well, that’s good news, though, right?

Steffy: I’m not sure.

Thomas: There’s only one reason dad would’ve gone to aspen. It’s to reclaim his life with our mom. Nothing else makes sense.

Steffy: I hope you’re right. I just can’t handle dad going back to brooke again.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Oh, great. Wifi’s out.

[ Sighing ] I’m coming, ridge.

Steffy: It’s not dad I’m worried about. Him being here speaks volumes. It means he must want to be with her. I just don’t know if she’s going to say yes at this point.

Thomas: You don’t really believe that.

Steffy: That’s what she said. And it sounded like she meant it.

Thomas: Well, in the moment, maybe. But not when dad’s right in front of her telling her that he wants to be with her.

[ Donna and eric speak softly ]

Thomas: Um, I gotta go, okay? I’ll call you later. Or you call me, you know, when you find something out.

Eric: Thomas? Your father’s in aspen. Did you know about that?

Thomas: He’s with my mom.

Eric: Yes.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Oh, how much longer? Why did you go to aspen, ridge? Not because of taylor. It can’t be.

Taylor: Turns out thomas and steffy were right. We do belong together.

Ridge: Don’t let me lose sight of that ever again, okay?

Taylor: Oh, I’m not going to let you lose sight of it. You can count on it.

Ridge: Can i hold you to that?

Taylor: You can hold me any time you want. Look at us. We did it. We really did it. When you can’t sleep…

Thomas: Yeah, ever since my mom came back to L.A., I knew this day would come, the day when my dad finally opened his eyes and saw what was right in front of him.

[ Donna scoffs ]

Donna: You mean my sister? His wife?

Thomas: No, I said my mom. You know, his past and his future.

Donna: Okay.

Eric: Look, I understand that you and, uh, that you and you sister want to see your mother and father back together. I get that. I understand. But I’m a big champion of ridge and brooke. I would be very careful about getting my hopes up too high. You could easily be in for a big disappointment.

Donna: One thing I– I know for sure, thomas, is that brooke and ridge, they always end up together.

Thomas: Not this time. Look, I’ve seen the connection between my parents. It’s always been amazing, but lately it’s just grown and grown, a love more undeniable. I think the time for my parents has finally come. And my dad has realized that he really loves my mother.

[ Donna sighing ]

Donna: Well, I– I can only hope that you’re wrong.

Thomas: I get it. She’s your sister. You’re always going to be team brooke. All right, look, this– this is gonna hurt her. And her seeing my dad finally go back to my mom, it’s going to be a big blow to her ego. But brooke’s resilient. She’ll come back. She’ll find another guy. She always does. And look, everybody’s going to end up happy. My dad will finally be with the love of his life.

Pilot: Gonna ask you to buckle up. We are starting our descent into aspen.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Soon, ridge. I’ll be there soon. And you’re going to come home with me.

Ridge: I don’t want to forget this moment. So I’m going to go ahead and take a little mental picture of it right now.

Taylor: Okay. I’m gonna do the same thing.

Ridge: You are?

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: Dad? Oh, my– oh, my god. What? What am i seeing right now?

Ridge: You wanna tell her? You tell her. You– you wanna tell her?

Steffy: What is going on?

Ridge: I– I came all the way to aspen to have a moment alone with your mother.

Steffy: And? Don’t keep me in suspense. What’s going on?

Ridge: And… it turns out that moment was the first moment of the rest of our lives, together.

Steffy: Are you serious right now? Mom?

Taylor: He is telling the truth. Your father’s back home.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Is this for real?

Ridge: It took a lot of convincing and a lot of running… which was not…

Taylor: Oh, well, you know what? You should– you can keep up. I gotta keep you in shape.

Steffy: Look at you two. This is a landmark moment for our family.

Ridge: Hey, hey. Thank you. For being such an amazing woman. And for being patient enough to give me another try at this. You’re my life, my love. My home.

[ Ridge laughing] (Vo) red lobster’s finer points of fun dining

Donna: Wow. You really don’t think much of my sister, do you?

Thomas: No.

Eric: Don’t do that, thomas. Don’T.

Thomas: Wha– what would you rather I do? Lie? Look, your sister, she took a wrecking ball to my entire family. And the universe is finally righting itself now. My mom will finally have the future that your sister stole from her.

Donna: Brooke didn’t steal anything. Ridge chose her.

Eric: And he always does. Don’t underestimate how much they mean to each other.

Thomas: This time’s different. I can feel it in my gut. My dad’s done. His mind’s made up.

Donna: I wouldn’t count out my sister.

[ Thomas chuckling ]

Thomas: My dad is ready to be with someone he can trust. Someone who would never betray him. My mom would never betray him. They’re ready for their life together. Brooke’s his past.

Eric: But one thing I’ve learned, it’s never too late for brooke and ridge.

Pilot: I’m so sorry for the delay, mrs. Forrester. I hope you still have time to get to where you’re going.

Brooke: Ah, yeah, me too. Thank you.

Steffy: I can’t believe I’m looking at this right now. This is amazing. I was so afraid this wasn’t gonna happen. Especially after mom said she wasn’t gonna go through with it. Go back to dad if he asked.

Ridge: What?

Taylor: I– I– I did say that. But this is one of those rare times that things just, things just kind of work out the way that they’re supposed to. You know? Because I didn’t want to give up on us.

Ridge: You could’ve fooled me. She had me chase her up a mountain. Who runs up a mountain? Who does that?

[ Steffy laughing ] This is like a dream come true. I am so incredibly happy right now.

Ridge: I am, too. I just feel like everything is in balance again. And I just, I miss this. I need it, I think.

Taylor: Yeah, I told you so.

Ridge: I know. You’re smarter than I am.

Taylor: I’m smarter than you when it comes to you. You just need to get used to that. Gotta listen to me.

Ridge: Yes, ma’am.

Taylor: Oh, my god. Look at this, he’s on his best behavior. “Yes ma’am?” Wow!

Steffy: I’m gonna call thomas.

Taylor: Oh, that’s a good idea.

Ridge: Do the video thing.

Taylor: The video thing?

Ridge: What do you call ’em? The video thing.

Taylor: Video chat.

Ridge: You know, video chat.

Taylor: Whatever.

[ Phone ringing ]

[ Thomas chuckling ]

Thomas: What’s going on?

Steffy: See for yourself.

Taylor: Hey baby.

Ridge: Hey son!

Thomas: You guys look…

Taylor: Uh, happy.

Thomas: I hope that means what I think it means.

Ridge: What do you think– maybe you should tell him.

Taylor: I think you should probably say–

Ridge: Nah, it came from you. It would be nice–

Taylor: No, he’d like to hear from his dad probably, you know?

Thomas: Guys, stop with the torture, already.

Ridge: Okay. Well, we’re– we are…

Both: Back together.

Thomas: Seriously? Oh, that’s amazing. This is– this is the best news ever!

Ridge: Yeah, we think so, too.

Thomas: I’m so happy for you.

Taylor: Yeah. I wish you were here to celebrate.

Thomas: Me, too. But seeing your smiles, the way you’re glowing, the love you’re not hiding anymore.

Thomas: Ah, this is great. Congratulations, dad. After everything you’ve been through, glad you finally came to your senses.

Steffy: Amen to that.

Ridge: I’m going to spend the rest of my days being humbled and grateful that this woman gave me another chance. There’s nothing like volunteering

Eric: Douglas doesn’t have to do his homework.

Thomas: What? Granddad, he has a test tomorrow.

[ Douglas laughing ]

Thomas: You.

Douglas: I got you with the app, again.

Thomas: You have got to stop playing with that thing.

Douglas: Dad, it’s just an app.

Thomas: It’s not just an app. It’s something I keep asking you not to do and then keep doing it.

Eric: Douglas doesn’t have to do his homework.

Douglas: You said it.

Donna: I thought I heard you down here. What?

Eric: I did not say that.

Thomas: Okay. You need to stop playing with that thing and you go do your homework.

Douglas: Dad.

Thomas: Now.

Douglas: Dad.

Eric: Thomas, these phones are scary.

Thomas: Yeah.

Eric: All right. Any word from aspen?

Thomas: Uh, actually, I just got off the phone with them. You’re not going to like this. But my parents are back together.

Donna: What? That can’t be.

Thomas: Literally why they called to tell me.

Eric: So, brooke did not get there in time.

Donna: Eric.

Thomas: Brooke didn’t get where?

Eric: Brooke found out that ridge was up there. So she chased after him and well, obviously, um… well, she should be there by now.

Thomas: Yeah. Thanks for telling me about that. I guess it doesn’t really matter. From what I heard, it didn’t seem like brooke was there. She’s irrelevant, anyway. This is about my mom and dad reclaiming their relationship. You know, steffy and I knew it. You know, my dad just– just took a little detour. But he’s back now with my mom. You know, I– I don’t think I’ve seen him as happy as he was on that call, ever. It’s like this– this massive weight had been lifted, the weight of brooke holding him and our family down for much too long.

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. Did you see thomas’ face? He was, like, stunned and not, all at the same time.

Taylor: Yeah, he was so happy. You know? You kids, you– you saw what we couldn’T.

Ridge: Or wouldn’T. Or little bit of both, maybe.

Taylor: Yeah, I think so. You didn’t give up and you wouldn’t let me give up even when I– I did not think that there was a chance for us. So, I ran. Which is what I do. I ran from L.A. To aspen. And I ran a lot when you got here.

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: Yeah. If I’m being honest–

Ridge: You’re still a little scared, I get it.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Well, I’m going to make a promise in front of my beautiful daughter, I’m going to protect your heart from now on.

[ Taylor sighing ]

Taylor: I’m going to go upstairs. I’m just gonna–

Steffy: I get it. I’ll come up with you.

Ridge: I’ll, uh…

Steffy: Yeah.

Ridge: Yeah.

Brooke: Ridge! What’s going on?

Ridge: What are you doing here?

Brooke: What are you doing here?

Ridge: Taylor…

Brooke: Taylor, what?

Ridge: Taylor and i are back together.

Brooke: What? I– o– okay. I don’t know what happened. You’re going to have to explain this. Is– is– is this bill? Is it deacon?

Ridge: It’s all of it. All– all of that. It’s– it’s you and me. It’s my family with taylor, it’S… I– I can see things clearly now and I am where I need to be.

Brooke: With taylor.

Ridge: Yes.

Brooke: No. No, ridge. Look, I don’t care what promises were made. You can take all that back. It’s you and me. We are meant to be together. This isn’t the end of our love story.

[ Relaxing music ]

Ridge: Please don’t run again. What do you– what are you gonna do? Run all the way to la?

Taylor: La’s that way. So…

Ridge: Oh, okay. You’re fast. I forgot how fast you are. You’re a fast runner. Even in college, you were fast. You had all those trophies for it. Where’d you put those? They still around?

Taylor: Are you serious?

Ridge: I’m just–

Taylor: Where are my trophies? You know where they are? They’re– they’re, um– they’re buried. They’re– they’re put away. They are out of sight. Out of mind. Where some things should be.

Ridge: Some things?

Taylor: Yep.

Ridge: Not us.

Taylor: Oh, okay.

Ridge: Don’t run, please. N– no, look, I’m telling ya. If you’re gonna run, I’m going to try and keep up. And I’m gonna follow you to the end of the world because… because I wanna be with you.

Steffy: Where could they be? He came. Dad is here. Does this mean… mom, whatever dad is telling you, just please, please, please listen.

Brooke: Are you sure about this?

Donna: Unfortunately. Looks like ridge took the jet.

Brooke: To aspen. Where taylor happens to be.

Donna: Well, you said that she went with steffy, so…

Brooke: Yeah. Bill offered his house. He’s planning on selling it. But, oh, my god. Ridge went to aspen without even telling me. Do you know what this means?

Donna: Maybe he’s planning on buying the house and surprising you.

Brooke: If only. It means the harassment from steffy and thomas to get ridge and taylor back together is actually working.

Donna: Okay, brooke. Look, I know things haven’t been great between you and ridge, but, come on–

Brooke: No, not great. But things were getting better. In fact, things were getting back to the way they used to be.

[ Sighing ] Gosh, I just don’t have a good feeling about this. I have to get to aspen as soon as possible.

Eric: Well, it turns out that our romantic little getaway is gonna happen after all.

Donna: Oh, uh…

Eric: Yeah, the jet’s on its way back from aspen. It’s gonna land in the next few minutes. So, let’s throw some things together, and we can go right away, if you’re still interested.

Donna: Uh… uh.

Eric: Yeah. Or not. What is it?

Donna: Eric. Of course I’m– I’m still interested, I– you know, but maybe our little getaway could be a little closer to home. You know, somewhere we could drive, too.

Eric: Okay, if you prefer. Any particular reason?

Donna: Uh, yes. Um, sounds like brooke needs the jet a lot more than we do.

Eric: Brooke?

Donna: She decided to go to aspen, too.

[ Brooke sighing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Ridge: Hey, it’s ridge. Can’t take your call right now, but–

Taylor: God, ridge. Why? Why do you always know the exact things to say? The exact romantic things that would make my heart explode? I’m not gonna get sucked into this again. You don’t get me this time. I’m not gonna do it. I’m not falling for it.

Ridge: Okay, no one asked you to fall for anything.

Taylor: Yes, you are–

Ridge: I’m here. I’m talking to you. I want us to be together. Our family to heal. And for us to have a future together.

Eric: I know things have been kinda rough between ridge and brooke lately. But for him to just leave town without… without telling her?

Donna: It’s not just leave town. It’s so much worse. Leave to track down his ex-wife. I mean, needless to say, brooke was not pleased to hear about that.

Eric: I’m sure she wasn’T. That I can’T… you think it’s even possible that ridge is thinking about leaving her for taylor?

Donna: I don’t know. But I do know that brooke has been concerned about their relationship for a while now, and… thomas and steffy have been pushing to get their parents back together. I mean, you’ve seen it as much as I have. Maybe more. The two of them have just been working overtime, trying to reunite ridge with taylor.

[ Sighing ] My god, eric. What if they’ve actually succeeded?

[ Phone ringing ]

Steffy: Still no word.

Thomas: Seriously? Okay. Well, what’s it look like? Are they smiling? Arguing?

Steffy: No, I– I don’t know. I don’t know. They– they left.

Thomas: What? Where’d they go?

Steffy: I wish I knew. Thomas, I’m really worried right now. Mom is so guarded, I don’t think she’s ready to hear what dad has to say.

Thomas: She’s gotta be.

Steffy: We wanted this for so long, thomas. Too long. And what if dad is ready to go back to her, but she doesn’t wanna hear it? She’s hurt because of brooke.

[ Brooke panting ]

Pilot: Mrs. Forrester?

[ Brooke huffing ]

Brooke: I came as fast as I could. You got my text, right?

Pilot: Um…

Brooke: You didn’t?

Pilot: We just landed. I haven’t had a chance to check anything. We’re refueling. We need to check the manifest.

Brooke: I have to get to aspen.

Pilot: Aspen? But we just got back from there.

Brooke: All right. Okay. Well, you’re gonna have to get this plane back up in the air and get me to aspen as quickly as you possibly can.

Pilot: Yes, ma’am. Yes ma’am.

Ridge: Stop.

[ Taylor groaning ] Okay. Can we please– can we please stop running? I’m gonna have a heart attack.

Taylor: Then stop chasing me.

Ridge: That’s impossible. I know you’re running because of me. I know you’re scared.

Taylor: Yeah, I’m scared. I’m scared ’cause I said I would never let you do this to me again, ridge, so don’t try to sell me on some future, a happily ever after, okay?

Ridge: Just give me a– give me a chance please. I’m telling you– I love you. I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.

Taylor: I know how this story ends.

Ridge: And you have every right to think that, but I’m– I’m here to tell you I’ve been… I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching. And yes, I’ll always care about brooke. But I can’t do this anymore. The lying– me, lying to myself, not with you here. And I feel like we were robbed. Our family was robbed. Our kids were robbed. And I think maybe… maybe we can pick up where we left off. Maybe we can have the future we always wanted. I want that with you. Only you. Forever. Here’s a good halloween trick.

Thomas: You know how mom feels about dad. And if he’s there, telling her how he really feels about her, she’s not gonna turn him down.

Steffy: You should’ve heard her, thomas. The way she was talking. She doesn’t believe that dad’s going to choose her. Only her.

Thomas: It could be happening as we speak.

Steffy: It doesn’t matter. She says she can’t do it again. Her answer would be no.

Thomas: Yeah, when she was speaking in theory and it was some distant idea of– of dad coming back and wanting to reunite. But now it’s actually happening.

Steffy: Maybe.

Thomas: It is. It has to be. He’s there right now, telling her everything that she wants to hear. She’ll say yes, okay? She will. We both know it’s what she wants.

Steffy: Yes, but she doesn’t wanna be burned again. Burned because of brooke. Of course, she wants to get back with dad, but she’s afraid of the idea that brooke’s gonna come in and swoop dad away. I believe mom when she says she doesn’t wanna put herself through that again.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Pilot: Good news. Flight plan is set. We’re all fueled up. We just have to wait for clearance to get on the runway–

Brooke: We have to wait?

Pilot: It won’t be long. There’s just a few planes ahead of us. And since we weren’t originally scheduled–

Brooke: Is there anything you can do to move up in line? I don’t mean to be pushy.

Pilot: Mrs. Forrester, I’m sorry. But we’re at the mercy of air traffic control. We’ll be in the air in no time, and I promise I’ll get you to aspen as soon as I can.

Brooke: Thank you. My future could depend on it.

Brooke: I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester.

Operator: And your name, ma’am?

Brooke: Brooke logan.

Taylor: All right. So I asked you earlier about brooke, and you said that you didn’t wanna talk about it.

Ridge: I don’T.

Taylor: Yeah, see. That– that scares me. Why? What happened?

Ridge: This isn’t– this isn’t about brooke. This is about us. But you’re right, something did happen.

Taylor: There you go.

Ridge: I saw the light.

Taylor: You saw the light? Yeah, it’s a train, and it’s headed straight for me, so–

Ridge: Don’t do that–

Taylor: No.

Ridge: I was at dad’s house. I was on the terrace, just looking at the city and then I thought, “how did I get here? What did I do with my life?” And then the strangest thing happened. I got hit in the head with a pine cone. Don’t laugh. I got hit in the head with a pine cone, and I saw the light. And what I saw was a future with you.

Taylor: You got hit in the head with a pine cone?

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: And all of a sudden, you want a future with me. Forever. That’s it? Okay. God, ridge. I have seen that future so many times. So many times. And I have given up on it because it hurts. It really hurts ’cause we don’t live it. We’re not living it. We’re never going to live it.

Ridge: Don’t say never. Why never?

Taylor: Why? Ridge, stop.

Ridge: I’m not that man anymore. Look, I get it. If I were that same man bouncing between two women, I get why you would run, and you should keep running. I wouldn’t stop you. But I’m not that man anymore.

Taylor: Okay, what kind of man are you now?

Ridge: I’m a man who’s standing on a mountain in front of this beautiful woman, telling her that we can do this. And I’m not gonna let her down anymore. I wanna be a better man. And you make me a better man. I wanna be with you. For always.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Child protective services doesn’t just show up at your doorstep for no reason.

Ridge: No, somebody called them. We’re trying to figure out who that was.

Brooke: Has thomas crossed somebody lately? Maybe he rubbed somebody the wrong way, and they’re just trying to get back at him?

Ridge: Seems a little extreme. They interrogated douglas.

Brooke: Well. I mean, I certainly don’t know who it was. But I’m sorry you had to witness that. And I hope that they were gentle with douglas.

Ridge: They were. I gotta go. I forgot something at the office.

[ Brooke sighing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Brooke: Hey.

Donna: Hey. Eric just got confirmation about the jet taking off.

Brooke: Yeah, finally.

Donna: Well, thankfully, it’s a quick flight.

Brooke: I just don’t understand why ridge went to aspen to be with taylor.

Donna: You don’t know his reasoning. It could have been a coincidence. He could’ve gone to aspen to– to see his daughter.

Brooke: I don’t know. He didn’t even tell me that he was going. And every time I try to call him, it just keeps going to voicemail. I just don’t understand what’s going on. I just–

[ Sighing ] Feel like these outside forces are working against us. Mainly steffy and thomas. They’ve been browbeating him for months now, telling him he should be with taylor, and that I just make him unhappy, and that is not even true. I just need to get it– I need to get there. I need to get to aspen. I need to be with ridge.

Taylor: I believe that you believe what you’re saying right now. But what about tomorrow? And the next day?

Ridge: And the day after that. I meant what I said, I’m not going back.

Taylor: So you’re not going back to brooke, ever? You’re done?

Ridge: Not going back to brooke. Not going back to that life, no.

Taylor: Okay. I know in your heart you want that. I do. But ridge, you always go back, and then you come back to me, and you go back.

Ridge: Look at me. Not anymore. I wanna be with you. I don’t wanna spend one more day away from you.

Taylor: So let me be clear. Let me clarify this. Even if brooke hadn’t done–

Ridge: You’re not listening to me. This is not about the kids. This is not about our grandkids. This is about us. I told you I saw the light. I know it’s a weird thing to say, but I did. And I saw our future. I saw us. And I’m here for us. And I want you to be here for us, too. Can you do that?

Taylor: I’m sorry.

Ridge: Okay.

Taylor: But what took you so long?

[ Grand, epic instrumental ]

[ Birds twittering ]

Taylor: What are you doing here?

Ridge: I heard spencer was selling his house. I thought I’d come check it out.

Taylor: Right. What are you really doing here?

Ridge: Came to see you.

Steffy: Mom’s having a really hard time. She’s reevaluating her life. Her identity.

Thomas: I thought mom went to aspen to get her mind off of things.

Steffy: I’m trying. But she says dad going back to brooke, it’s breaking her heart.

Thomas: Yeah, no kidding.

Steffy: I think she’s giving up, thomas. And I’m starting to as well.

[ Car door slamming ]

Brooke: He’s home.

[ Knocking ] Ridge, door’s unlocked! You can open it. Bill?

Bill: Yes. I’m bill.

Donna: Lucky me. I get to look at two of you.

Eric: Yeah?

Donna: Mm-hmm.

Eric: You know, I think I prefer the– the airbrushed version.

Donna: Absolutely not. Nothing is more handsome than the real you, eric.

[ Chuckling ]

Eric: I can’t believe you actually pulled this off. Such a thoughtful gift.

Donna: Well, it’s your home, you deserve to be up on the wall of fame.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: Yeah.

Eric: Except that this… this is your home now, too. You and me together. Here. I haven’t thanked you properly for this gift.

Donna: Well, more of that will do, huh?

Eric: Let’s get out of here. Come on. Let’s take the jet someplace tropical. To a nice getaway weekend. What do you say?

Brooke: Oh bill, what are you thinking? You can’t keep stopping by unannounced like this.

Bill: Well, my instincts told me that forrester wasn’t here, and from what I can tell, he isn’T. So I guess I was right.

Brooke: Okay. You’re right. He’s not here. But hopefully he’ll be home very soon.

Thomas: Yeah, aspen’s amazing. It feels like a million miles away. You’d think it’d be great for mom to clear her head.

Steffy: Yeah, I thought so, too. But she’s been super stressed since she’s been here. Like, more stressed than I’ve ever seen her.

Thomas: Okay, well, maybe you could put mom on with me. You know, I could talk to her.

Steffy: No, she said she was heading out for a walk.

[ Jaunty harp music ] Oh, my– oh, my god. Thomas!

Thomas: What?

Steffy: You are not going to believe this.

Thomas: What? Is it mom? Is she okay?

Steffy: She’s more than okay. She’s with dad.

Thomas: With dad? In aspen?

Steffy: Yes!

Thomas: No way.

Steffy: Yes, way. I’m staring at him right now. He’s literally standing with mom.

Taylor: I, um, I wasn’t expecting this. Steffy didn’t mention anything.

Ridge: I’m sorry for crashing your girls trip.

Taylor: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ridge: I didn’t tell anyone I was coming. I just jumped on the jet and came to see you. You… look good in the mountains.

Taylor: Really? You know, I came to the mountains to– to get away from everything.

Ridge: Get away from me, you mean.

[ Dramatic music ] (Dog barking)

Eric: I’m not sure exactly, somewhere in the caribbean? Yes, we’ll decide in the next half hour or so. I just wanted to be sure the plane was available. It’s not? Why? Ridge? I see. All right. Thank you. No, I’ll– I’ll speak to ridge. Yeah. Thank you. Bad news. Ridge took the plane to aspen.

Donna: Oh. To aspen.

Eric: Yeah. Business trip, I guess.

Donna: Uh, no. Pam and I schedule all the business meetings. I would have heard about it.

Eric: Well, in any case, we’re going to have to postpone our trip, won’t we? We’ll go as soon as he comes back.

Donna: Okay.

Eric: I can’t imagine he’d be gone very long. I can’t imagine why he’s got a business trip in aspen either.

Donna: And he was on the jet by himself?

Eric: Yeah. Nobody else on the manifest. No.On: , My sister wasn’t with him?

Eric: No. Brooke was not on the plane.

Bill: I won’t stay long. Trust me, I don’t want to see forrester’s ugly mug any more than he wants to see this– this work of art right here.

Brooke: Bill. Of course. I want to be supportive of you with katie. It’s just–

Bill: But you don’t want me to keep popping over.

Brooke: Right. No. You can’t keep stopping by like this. I mean, ridge and I are finally just settling in, and I don’t– I don’t want him to have to worry unnecessarily.

Bill: But why is he always looking for the worst? Something to be upset about.

Brooke: He is my husband.

Bill: Yeah. I know. That’ll never make sense to me. Of course, there are a lot of things that don’t make sense to me right now. That’s why I’m letting go of some things.

Brooke: You’re letting go?

Bill: I’m selling the aspen house.

Brooke: What? You love it there.

Bill: Yeah, I do. But I haven’t been spending as much time there as I should. But those mountains will always hold a special place in my heart. I think you know why. It’s a great house. Steffy and taylor are there right now.

Steffy: Mom and dad are together at this very moment.

Thomas: What are they doing?

Steffy: They’re talking.

Thomas: What are they saying?

Steffy: I can’t hear them. They’re outside.

Thomas: Steffy, this is huge. Dad didn’t tell anyone he was going to aspen. He’s obviously there for mom. Maybe dad has finally reached his breaking point with brooke.

Steffy: But why now?

Thomas: Doesn’t matter. Mom and dad could finally be getting together.

Steffy: You and I want that more than anything. But remember what I told you. Mom said, if dad wants her back. She’s going to–

Thomas: Yeah, she would say no, but… right now, it could actually be happening.

Steffy: I don’t know. She was pretty adamant. She’s talking about having more self-respect. Oh, I think they’re coming back inside.

Thomas: Yeah I know. Mom is a strong, independent woman, and she has every right to be cautious where dad’s concerned. But this time could be different.

Steffy: From your lips to god’s ears.

Thomas: Today could be our family’s lucky day. Dad might actually be able to convince mom to say yes.

Taylor: Ridge. Come on, we can’t be doing this. Okay? One of us should go. You! You should go.

Ridge: I should go? Just got here.

Taylor: Okay fine. You know what? You stay. I’ll go.

Ridge: Doesn’t help me either. I came to see you.

Taylor: Why?

Ridge: Why? Because, um– because I miss you. I miss our life together. I’m jonathan lawson

Thomas: Steffy, this is huge! Dad didn’t mention to anyone he was heading to aspen. He’s obviously there for mom. Maybe dad’s finally reached his breaking point with brooke.

Steffy: But why now?

Walter: You have to promise me you won’t say a word to anyone about any of this, especially the person who made the phone call.

Thomas: I promise.

Ridge: No one’s ever going to know.

Walter: There is a voice recording of the phone call attached.

Ridge: Play it.

Cps operator: Child protective services.

Brooke: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester. Please get there as soon as possible. His father, thomas forrester, is unstable. He has a knife.

Cps operator: And your name, ma’am?

Brooke: Brooke logan.

Thomas: You see brooke? What did she say?

Ridge: No.

Thomas: No, you didn’t see her or she didn’t admit to calling cps?

Ridge: She didn’t admit to anything. She lied to me again.

Thomas: Brooke lied? To your face? I’m sorry, dad. I know what this must be doing to you. I haven’t had the warmest or fuzziest feelings about brooke, you know that. But she is your wife. Still, though. I mean, for her not to confess? We literally heard her voice. She said her name–

Ridge: I know! I know.

Donna: So ridge booked the jet?

Eric: Yeah, I’m afraid so. I mean, normally we talk to each other when one of us is going to use the plane, which is why I think this was probably unplanned.

Donna: I just think it’s kind of strange that he went to aspen, by himself.

Eric: Yeah, I do, too. Well, it’s not a long flight. He’s probably there already.

Donna: I just wish, you know, my sister would have gone with him.

Eric: She must have been busy, I guess.

Donna: No, I can’t really imagine brooke giving up the opportunity to get away with ridge. Could you?

Eric: I can’t either.

Donna: No.

Eric: Aspen. It’s a wonderful place for two people to reconnect.

Donna: Yeah. You know, even though ridge has moved back in with her, I don’t think things have been as smooth as she’d like them to be.

Eric: They’ll get there.

Donna: Yeah. Of course. Yeah. They will. I just wonder why he went to aspen.

Brooke: Steffy and taylor are at your place?

Bill: Yeah, they are. You know, I wanted to offer it to steffy first. Of course, I guess that does mean the whole family would be using it. Anyway, she’s there right now checking it out.

Brooke: Well, that’s very nice of you.

Bill: Well, you know, I sell to her, and then no brokerage fees for me. So nice for everyone.

Brooke: Hmm. And maybe taylor will love it so much, she will leave town for good.

Bill: We’ll see. I’m asking an arm and a leg.

Brooke: Well, good luck. Now, I think you’d better go before my husband comes home. Because–

Bill: See, now I’d just forgotten about him.

Brooke: I haven’T.

Bill: Big plans tonight?

Brooke: Well, maybe a little something special.

Bill: Lucky man, lucky man. Bet ridge is never going to take you on a hot air balloon ride or a– a camel ride in dubai. I can be pretty romantic when I want to be.

Brooke: Yeah. You can. Goodbye, bill.

Taylor: No, I know what this is. You’re getting swept up in memories–

Ridge: Swept up in memories? No, I’m here now. I’m here.

Taylor: And what about tomorrow?

Ridge: It’s not a house. But if you want me to stay, I’ll be here tomorrow.

Taylor: Ridge, I know what this is about. This is your– the kids are guilt tripping you, and you don’t want–

Ridge: This has nothing to do with the kids!

Taylor: Well, then what is it about?

Ridge: It’s about you. It’s about the woman that you are to me.

Taylor: Wow. The woman that I am to you.

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: I should write that down. That’s deep. Where do you even get that from? This isn’t funny, ridge.

Ridge: I know, I know it’s not funny. It’s the opposite of funny.

Taylor: Right. It’s sad.

Ridge: Where did you go to school that you sad is the opposite of funny? Serious is the opposite of funny and I’m here because I’m serious. I’m here because I– I want to spend the rest of my life with you. What happens to your body language

[ Birds twittering ]

Taylor: Okay. So you want to– you want to spend the rest of your life with me. Just like that. Okay. So you and brooke must have gotten into a doozy of a fight, right? Because– no, ridge, I’m going to pass. Okay? I’m going to pass on being second choice, because I would rather be alone than be your consolation prize.

Ridge: It’s not what you are. I’m not saying–

Taylor: That’s exactly what I am. It’s what it feels like. What is it? What happened with brooke?

Ridge: Nothing happened with brooke. This is not about brooke. It’s about me, finally, for the first time in a long time, seeing things clearly.

Taylor: Oh, but ridge that’s what you do. You see things clearly until you don’T. And that’s– that’s what you do. Ridge, I came here to get away from you! I wanted to get away from you. I don’t want to do this anymore. But here you are. Here you are. You show up and you say all these romantic things, and you make me get anxiety and feel like this. And I don’t– just get out of my life. Don’t– don’t get all the way out. Like you can be over there and we can, we can– we can love our kids and we can, we can share grandkids together. But don’t come here with these promises to me, ridge, please. Because I’ve heard them all before. And now you say that it’s not about brooke, so it must be about our kids–

Ridge: It’s not about brooke. And no, it’s not about the kids. Can you stop talking, please? Just stop talking for one second.

Taylor: But–

Ridge: Please! Okay. Mm– I’m here because… I love you. And I want to be with you for always.

[ Taylor sighing ]

Taylor: Don’T. Do not follow me!

[ Phone ringing ]

Brooke: Donna, hi! Are you and eric on the plane? I was so happy when I got your text. You’re heading to the caribbean?

Donna: Um, no, our trip got canceled.

Brooke: What? Why? What happened?

Donna: Apparently someone’s using the jet.

Brooke: Who was using the jet?

Donna: Ridge.

Brooke: Ridge? What are you talking about?

Donne: He’s going to aspen.

Brooke: Aspen?

Donna: Yeah, I don’t know. I was confused. I thought maybe you’d be on the jet, but he’s the only one on the manifest.

Brooke: Oh, my god.

Donna: What?

Brooke: Steffy and taylor are in aspen.

Ridge: Taylor. Taylor!

[ Gravel crunching ] Can you stop? Taylor. Taylor. Stop! Can you– stop!

Taylor: What? Ridge, leave me alone. Please. Please don’t do this to me. I’m not letting you in again.

Ridge: I know I’ve let you down in the past. I’m not going to do that again. I meant what I said. I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

Ridge: My destiny. I don’t even know what the hell that means anymore.

Steffy: So, coming to aspen was a good idea?

Taylor: Yes. Yes. I don’t know if it’s just the altitude, but I’m feeling lighter already.

Steffy: Good. I mean, maybe we should buy bill’s house. And we could turn it into, like, a family retreat.

Taylor: Not just your mom’s temporary hideaway.

Steffy: It’s not a hideaway, mom. You’re just getting away to figure things out.

Taylor: Yeah. With the help of my very supportive daughter.

Steffy: Sometimes you just need to step away from things to really take a better look at it.

Taylor: You’re right. You’re right. And I just want to find a new path forward. That’s it. And just– just feel like myself again.

Steffy: As long as that path doesn’t take you away from us and lead you right back to dad.

Brooke: Did hope get back to you?

Liam: No, nothing. I- I’ll text her again, though.

Brooke: She’s probably still tied up in that meeting.

Liam: [ Chuckling ] Please, let’s– let’s avoid the phrase ‘tied up’ when talking about thomas.

Brooke: I’m really frustrated, too. I really hate the fact that he’s monopolizing her time.

Liam: Time at work, her time after work or time on weekends. If she wants to see her son, she has to see him. And I’m sorry. We are not being paranoid and thinking that’s exactly how thomas wants it.

Hope: I’m so sorry, thomas. That must have been a pretty stressful situation for you.

Thomas: Yeah, I mean, it was. Uh, I– I held it together for douglas, though. I don’t think getting upset with, um, two cps officials would have been the best look.

Hope: [ Chuckling ] Uh, well, did they tell douglas why they were there? That they were with child protective services?

Thomas: Uh, not– I mean, not really. They– they kind of just asked him a few questions, made sure he was okay, and– and then left.

Hope: It’s– it’s over now. And, uh, the important thing is that you and douglas are alright. But I do want you to know that you can call me for backup.

Thomas: You would have been there for me?

Hope: Well, I– you would be there for me, wouldn’t you?

Thomas: Yeah, of course. In a heartbeat. It’s just I, um, I didn’t realize you had that much faith in me.

Hope: I, uh, told liam I wanted to stop by and see douglas later, if that’s all right.

Thomas: You’re always welcome. Beth too. Uh, you now, douglas loves seeing you.

Hope: Thank you.

Thomas: I don’t want my house to seem like a place that you’re not invited to. You are always welcome there.

Hope: I appreciate that. Look, I get that you probably feel like you’re having to walk on eggshells right now. But I want you to know that you do not have to do that with me.

Thomas: I know that you’re not exactly the most happy with douglas continually wanting to stay at my place.

Hope: I miss him. I miss singing him to sleep and hearing his laughter in the cabin.

Thomas: That’s a great sound.

Hope: Yeah. It is.

Hope: I wasn’t exactly open to this in the beginning. I had my concerns, but it’s clear that douglas is enjoying his time with you. And let’s face it, before we know it, he’s going to be a teenager.

Thomas: No, no, no, no, no. I’m not ready for that. I’m not.

Hope: Oh, you will be. You’re good with him. And I’ve never seen douglas as happy as he is right now.

Steffy: Do you want me to call othello and get some reservations going?

Taylor: Oh, no. No. I think I’m just gonna– I just wanna stay in. I have so much to sort through.

Steffy: Okay. I’ll order in.

Taylor: Okay.

Steffy: What goes with self-reflection? Sushi? Thai.

Taylor: [ Chuckling ]

Steffy: Food for thought.

Taylor: Yeah, well, for me, something off the kids’ menu, maybe? The way I’ve been behaving.

Steffy: Like a woman in love.

Taylor: Like a teenager in love. Impulsive. Not thinking things through. Uh, flirting with your dad and kissing him. Just– oh, god, steffy, coming back to L.A. Inspired some very questionable choices for me.

Steffy: No, mom. No, no, no, no, no. Coming back to L.A. Gave you another chance. Just please, please, please do not give up on dad. Read my eyes.

Thomas: You know, I– I don’t want you to ever wonder if douglas is actually safe with me.

Hope: I know, but I also don’t want you to be afraid to talk to me about things like what happened with cps. You know, we’re– we’re a team. And we need to be able to communicate, just [ Chuckling ] Like we do here at the office.

Thomas: We do that prettywell.

Hope: Collaboration and trusting each other to do their best.

Thomas: I’m trying.

Hope: Oh, I know you are. But I also get that you’re going to do things in your own way. But just like here at work, we do have a common goal.

Thomas: Uh, speaking of a common goal, um, not to change the subject but I got those details from our new supplier and I put ’em into the latest projections.

Holly: I got that email, and they look great.

Thomas: Yeah, they’re better than we expected.

Holly: I know. I am pretty proud to call our line a success.

Thomas: Our line?

Holly: I mean, hope for the future is a team effort. You’ve been there from the beginning, and you knew what I wanted to do. And you managed to bring that vision to life. And without your artistry and your dedication, I don’t know where we’d be right now.

Thomas: Well, you can count on me, hope. I will always give my best to you and hope for the future.

Hope: Well, uh, speaking of work, I think maybe we should get back to it.

Thomas: Yeah. Yeah.

Hope: Um, so I saw you were sketching.

Thomas: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hope: Can I see what you got?

Thomas: Sure. It’s this and the next page.

Liam: Well, here’s an idea. How about you postpone your dinner plans and we all just go marching over to eric’s right now?

Brooke: No, no, no. Okay. Ridge and I are going to share a romantic dinner overlooking the ocean.

[ Liam chuckling ]

Liam: Yeah, I can’t say I blame you. You could use a win.

Brooke: It’s going to be nice. You know, gives us a moment. We can just push aside all of this tension and enjoy reconnecting with each other.

Taylor: Steffy, you– your dad and I will always be important in each other’s lives, but– but I don’t want to stay stuck in the cycle anymore.

Steffy: He loves you.

Taylor: And I love him so much, but I just– I– I– I can’t let those feelings impair my judgment anymore.

Steffy: You have to hold on. There is something so amazing between you two. He adores you. I see it in dad’s eyes every time he looks at you.

Taylor: I see it, too, steffy. I do. And that’s– that’s why I need to stay away. I have to. Because when I’m with your dad, all I can think about is “what if?” You know, “what if now is finally our time?” You know? And I hang on to these little glimmers of hope that, you know, that your dad is gonna finally come to his senses and choose happiness over obligation and tell me that brooke is his past, and I am his future. It’s not going to happen.

Steffy: You don’t know that.

Taylor: Oh, god.

Steffy: Brooke is going to break his trust. She always does.

Taylor: Okay, fine. If she does, she does. But we don’t need to wish for it. It’s not right.

Steffy: It’s who she is.

Taylor: But it’s not who I am. It’s not who I want to be. Sweetie, I need you– I need you to just stop. Stop encouraging this thing between your dad and me, please. Because I don’t want it like this. I don’T. Please. It’s just gonna cause a lot of heartbreak and a lot of disappointment for me. For all of us.

When a cold comes

on strong,

Liam: Well, thank you for the tea.

Brooke: Of course.

Liam: And, uh, yeah, I hope you and ridge have a really nice time tonight.

Brooke: We’re going to have an amazing night. Just like you and hope will.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah. Um, if she comes home in time.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Liam: Okay. Look, there’s– there’s another piece to this. Uh, and I’m so sorry. I ju- I really didn’t wanna burden you with it. I really didn’t wanna fan any flames, especially when it comes to you and ridge. But, um–

Brooke: What?

Liam: There have been a few nights th– that hope has brought beth over to eric’s, um, and she’s been spending the night there, too.

Brooke: What? Hope never told me that.

Liam: I really want her to be careful, you know? I really– I want her to be aware.

Brooke: Now I’m actually really worried.

Liam: Well, that means a lot to me. You having my back.

Brooke: You need to be there for my daughter, liam. You guys are so good together. You have a future with her. Just like I do with ridge.

Hope: I know this might be a bit of a crazy idea, but what if we actually did a slit up the side?

Thomas: Uh, to where?

Hope: I don’t know, maybe here?

Hope: It’s just a thought.

Thomas: No, it’s a– it’s a great thought. I’ll work on it for sure.

Hope: Yeah. Well, I’ll let you do that, and– oop! I should go check on zende.

Thomas: Okay. I’ll, uh– I’ll– I’ll see you back at the house.

Hope: I am looking forward to it. Bye.

Thomas: Bye.

Steffy: Mom, dad loves you. And you know that.

Taylor: Yeah, but he’s, uh, he’s with brooke. And he’s committed to her. So why wouldn’t I respect that?

Steffy: Brooke don’t even know what that word means. It’s only a matter of time before that marriage implodes. Always does.

Taylor: I don’t want him to be with me because brooke let him down again or because, you know, he got mad at her again or– I want him to choose me because I am his first choice. Steffy, that’s what he’s been to me this whole time. And I deserve the same thing. That I want all of him or nothing. It’s very simple. But he can’t give that to me. I deserve so much more. And I– I’m not gonna do this to you and thomas and to my grandkids.

Steffy: Mom, thomas and I, we want you two together and we’ll do whatever we can to help, but–

Taylor: Good. Then focus on your own happiness and your own lives.

Steffy: Mom, you can be happy, too. Just give dad a little more time.

Taylor: Just a little more time? Steffy, do you hear yourself? How much more time can I give? I’m not doing it anymore, steffy. I’m not. It’s– it’s not fair. I just– I– I keep thinking, like, you know how this story ends. I mean, I do. Your dad finally comes to his senses, and he– he leaves brooke, and he comes to me, and I– and I welcome him with open arms. And we all get really excited because we think he’s gonna stay. But it’s just temporary. You know why? Because his heart is divided between two women. And he goes back to brooke, and I am left brokenhearted. I can’t do this anymore, steffy. I’m done. I have to let him go. I have to. With everything inside of me, it’s so hard. But I- I am going to, okay? Because I gotta give that love and support to myself. I’ve been giving it away. And, honey? It’s breaking me. It’s breaking my heart and my soul. And I can’t do it anymore. And I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. But I need you to understand.

Steffy: No, mom, I get it. I get it.

Taylor: [ Crying ] Okay?

Steffy: I understand.

Taylor: You understand?

Steffy: I understand. I’m sorry. I understand. A fragrance this alluring

[ Phone ringing ]

Thomas: Hey. I was wondering when I’d hear from you. Are you and, uh, mom in aspen?

Steffy: Yeah, but it’s not off to a great start.

Thomas: What do you mean? What’s wrong?

Steffy: Mom’s having a really hard time. All this back and forth with dad and brooke. It’s starting to take a toll on her. I mean, you knew it, but to actually see it?

Thomas: To see what? Her frustration with dad?

Steffy: Yeah. Pain. Frustration. It’s like she’s questioning everything. Their relationship, her behavior, her judgment, all of it.

Thomas: Ah, so much for getting away from it all, right?

Steffy: So, what’s going on with you? Where’s dad?

Thomas: Wait, you haven’t heard from him?

Steffy: No, that’s why I’m calling you. I texted him before we landed. I thought he might be in a meeting.

Thomas: Well, I don’t think he’s in the building. Uh, I mean, last we were speaking we were– we were talking about brooke, but I haven’t seen him since.

Steffy: Huh.

Brooke: Hi, ridge. Still trying to reach you. Just let me know when you’ll be home, okay? That way I can order the car. ‘Cause after the day we’ve had, I just want tonight to be…

[ Sighing ] Well, I just can’t wait to see you.

[ Sighing ]

[ Car arriving outside ]

[ Birds chirping ]

Ridge: You’ve been our strength through this whole ordeal.

[ Indistinct ] And the only true thing in all of this. I’ve never been so proud to have had kids with you.

Taylor: [ Sighing ]

Ridge: Taylor!

Ridge: Hey!

[ Door latching ]

Thomas: Hey, did you, huh, see brooke? What did she say?

Ridge: No.

Thomas: No, you didn’t see her? Or she didn’t admit to calling C.P.S.?

Ridge: She didn’t admit to anything. She lied to me again.

Brooke: Thank you for pushing the reservation back, bernard. Yes, private cabana overlooking the ocean would be perfect. Okay, nine o’clock. See you then.

Liam: That’s your dinner reservation with ridge?

Brooke: Oh, yeah. I think ridge and I need a night alone together, just to hear the waves lapping on the rocks and see the stars in the sky.

Liam: Yeah, that sounds nice. Hope and I could probably use one of those too, actually. Speaking of– hey, do you know where she is?

Brooke: Well, she left a little while ago, and she did say that she was going to the office.

Liam: Well, unfortunately, hope being at the office means hope being with thomas

Steffy: Bill, letting us use his house in aspen is one thing, but letting our family have first dibs at buying it, that’s another. I mean, he must be mellowing out.

Taylor: Huh?

Steffy: Mom, are you all right? Please just talk to me.

Taylor: Oh, honey, just um… just overthinking about overthinking, you know? You have been a huge help.

Steffy: If that were true, dad would be right here beside you, jetting off to aspen on a romantic getaway. Who knows, you could be getting married?

Taylor: Steffy, please. Please, you’re killing me. I– I don’t want this. Ridge, ridge is married, okay? I don’t want this back and forth anymore. It’s so painful. I just want to move on with my life, I want more for myself. And your father would be the first one to tell you that.

Liam: It’s so tempting, I just wanna drive right over to forrester and see for myself. It’s fine, I’m sure it’s fine, I’m sure hope just– she’s it works, she– she gets distracted. It’s– it’s not a big deal.

Brooke: Or maybe thomas is doing all he can to keep her there so he can spend even more time with her.

Liam: Well, I wanna believe that if that’s true, hope would realize it, you know. But… but it is hope. We both know your daughter. She wants so badly to believe that thomas is different now and that it’s his love for douglas that caused the change in him, you know, she just wants everything to work out.

Brooke: Yeah, I mean, we all do. Especially for douglas’ sake. But ridge, and taylor, steffy, and that whole family, they think that thomas is harmless. But I don’t know, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to trust thomas.

Steffy: Mom, you love dad, and he loves you. Just wish there was a way you guys could figure it out.

Taylor: What are we supposed to do, you know? Pretend ridge isn’t married or that brooke doesn’t exist?

Steffy: Yeah, he’s married to this woman who can’t keep her eyes and lips off of every other guy, who also claims that dad is her destiny. I’m just so sick and tired of hearing the word “destiny.” The only thing that relationship is destined for is heartbreak. Dad’s seeing it. Soon, he’s gonna have enough of her drama. Dad is gonna see who brooke logan really is.

Thomas: Brooke lied? To your face? I’m sorry, dad. I know what this must be doing to you. I haven’t had the warmest or fuzziest feelings about brooke, you know that. Uh, but, she is your wife. But still though, I mean, for her not to confess? We literally heard her voice, she said her name–

Ridge: I know! I know.

Thomas: So, what did she say? Did you call her out on it? Why do dermatologists worldwide recommend

Thomas: She had a perfect chance to come clean?

Ridge: Yeah.

Thomas: What’d she say?

Ridge: She said she didn’t know who could have done that.

Thomas: She actually said that with a straight face? That’s a new low, even for brooke. What’d you say?

Ridge: I didn’t say anything, what’s the point? She lied on the phone. She lied to my face.

Thomas: I’m sorry.

Ridge: I got to go think.

Brooke: I think what we need to do is to stop thomas from taking this any further.

Liam: Yeah, but how do we do that? Thomas has all the leverage right now because he knows hope does not want this escalating into a court battle.

Brooke: Well, I don’t think thomas wants that either. But now he’s got douglas living with him and douglas saying he wants to spend more time with his dad.

Liam: Which puts thomas squarely in the driver’s seat.

Brooke: You and I both tried talking to him, and we got nowhere. So, it seemed at the time. But there are things that thomas has no control over.

Liam: There are? Like what?

Brooke: Well, it just seems like things have gone his way lately. Like, he’s got douglas living with him, and he has no intention of returning him to hope any time soon. And now, he’s got this little family, him and douglas, and hope. And now, beth is going over there to visit.

Liam: Yeah, yeah, I mean despite all my nagging, it really does feel like hope is becoming vulnerable to thomas again, even though she’s telling me that’s not what’s happening.

Brooke: It’s time, liam. Now, we just have to push back. Thomas needs to realize that he can’t just have whatever he wants.

Thomas: Oh, god. Of course, of course.

[ Thomas sighs loudly ] Spilling coffee, on a white shirt, had to be white, tsk.

Hope: Can’t catch a break, huh?

[ Thomas chuckles ]

Hope: I actually, I came by to talk to you, I… heard about C.P.S. Coming to the house.

[ Thomas sighs ]

Steffy: I can see the mountains, we’re almost in aspen. Believe in dad, okay? Your love for each other.

[ Ridge sighs ]

[ Ridge sighs ]

Ridge: Why would you do this, brooke? Why? We’ve forgiven each other for so many things. Here we are again. What am I doing with my life? I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Brooke: Thomas has gotten away with a lot in the past, and I don’t want that to be true this time.

Liam: I mean, neither do I. But the guy’s got the entire forrester family in his corner, and now he’s got hope cutting him way more slack than she ought to be. So…

Brooke: We have to just keep warning her about thomas. We can’t let him get to hope more than he already has, especially for douglas’ sake.

Thomas: I’m gonna grab a shirt, just one second. In case I spill coffee again.

[ Thomas chuckles ] Huh, look, I know why you’re here, or at least I think I do. So, maybe I should tell you my side of things. Um… basically what happened is, I was cutting up an apple with my pocket knife, which you’ve seen before, on a cutting board. But brooke walked in and freaked out and thought, I don’t know, I don’t know what she thought. Maybe that I was too close to douglas or something. But I want you to know, like, there’s never a point in time where douglas’ safety isn’t, like, my first priority. I would never let him hold the knife, or play around with it, or anything like that. And then C.P.S. Shows up and… look, I– I didn’t want douglas to be put in that situation, but there’s nothing else I could have done. You know, these strangers coming into the house talking to him, but honestly, he was fine, he took it in stride. It was pretty amazing to see. Anyway, if you’re gonna just get upset with me, then–

Hope: No, I’m– I’m not.

Thomas: You’re not.

Hope: Thomas, I know douglas loves you, and I know you love your son, and you would never put him in harm’s way. I don’t believe you would do something like that.

Thomas: That’s incredible to hear. I’ve done some, um… some pretty awful things, and breached your trust, and hurt you and… I mean, it’s kind of amazing that we’ve gotten to this point now, I guess.

[ Hope laughs ]

Thomas: Um, anyway, god, just, thank you, hope. Thank you so much.

Steffy: Just spoke to the pilot. We’re landing very soon.

Taylor: Mm.

Steffy: You okay?

Taylor: Nope. You don’t need to keep asking.

Steffy: Well, you’re my mom. I just wanna see you happy.

Taylor: Honey, you– you make me happy. And thomas, and douglas, and kelly, and hayes, and finn make me happy.

Steffy: And dad.

Taylor: Do I love your dad? Yes, a part of me always will. But… the life that I’ve been wanting with him isn’t possible. Not like this.

Ridge: What am I doing? My true love. My destiny. What is that? What is my destiny?

With less

moderate-to-severe eczema,

Liam: It’s just what we thought. Hope is still with forrester, with thomas.

Brooke: So, donna confirmed it.

Liam: Yeah, they’re in the ceo office. She thinks they’re probably talking about “hope for the future,” but I can’t imagine hope not bringing up this C.P.S. Thing with him, too.

Brooke: Well, I’m sure he’ll just say that it was nothing. He’ll tell hope and the rest of the family, they have nothing to worry about in regards to douglas.

Liam: Yeah, no, of course he’s gonna say that. But if– even if it turned out to be nothing, the fact that somebody felt they had to call legitimizes our concerns about him.

Brooke: Mm-hmm, and you and I don’t want hope to spend more time with him because we know how manipulative he can be.

Liam: I know that your feelings about thomas have created some tension between you and ridge.

Brooke: I love ridge, and he loves me but he also loves his son. So, I have to be very careful on what I say, because I don’t want it to blow up in my face, and ruin things for us.

Othello: All set.

Steffy: Thank you.

Othello: Steffy, aspen’s missed you.

Steffy: I’ve really missed aspen. I’m hoping to reconnect on this trip, in a lot of ways.

Othello: I was so surprised to hear that bill is selling this place. You know, being a realtor, your family should really snatch this place up.

Steffy: We’ll see, we’ll see.

Othello: All right, let me know if you need anything. Rezzies, vip.

Steffy: Yeah.

Othello: Bill told me to hook you up.

Steffy: I might take you up on it.

Othello: All right, sounds good.

Steffy: Good to see you.

Othello: Good to see you.

Steffy: Bye. Thanks again, othello.

[ Steffy sighs ]

Taylor: Mm, you know, coming here was a really good idea. Maybe I can even get a fresh new perspective.

Steffy: I don’t think you need a fresh perspective, mom. You love dad. And you want to be with him, right?

Taylor: We both know the answer to that. I mean, he is the great love of my life.

Steffy: Mom, when dad’s marriage to brooke comes to an end, and I am certain it will, it’s not gonna be because of you. It’ll be brooke’s doing.

Ridge: My destiny… I don’t even know what the hell that means anymore.

Thomas: Steffy and I have

seen you go back and forth

between our mom and brooke

so many times,

it’s painful for us,

but it’s painful for her, too.

Steffy: Stop wasting

your time on brooke.

Have the life you deserve, dad.

Have it with mom.

You can find true happiness

with mom.

Go back to her.

Brooke: Oh, my god.

[ Brooke sobbing ]

Brooke: Child protective services doesn’t just show up at your doorstep for no reason.

Ridge: No, somebody call them, we’re trying to figure out who that was.

Brooke: I certainly don’t know who it was.

Thomas: Sorry, dad. I know this must be hard for you.

Ridge: Hard? It’s unbelievable. My wife calls child services on my son so they can take his little boy away. Brooke wouldn’t do this.

Thomas: Except she did. We both heard the recording, there’s no doubt. It was brooke, dad. Ul

[ Phone pinging ]

[ Door creaks ]

Hope: I just talkus what is this about douglas and C.P.S.?

Steffy: Mom, you know how I feel. I want you and dad to get back together.A@ I do understand where you’re coming from. Brooke doesn’t deserve the consideration you’re giving her.

Taylor: Oh, honey, c’mon. You know, you don’t treat people as bad as they are, you treat them as good as you are.

Steffy: Okay. I understand that you want space. You want some time to breathe. Bill letting us use his house, I think it’s good, it’s not too far. A little distance might be a good thing.

Taylor: Yeah, yeah I think you’re right, because no matter where I go, there I am. So, I better get my head on straight. Because when I get back, I wanna move on completely from ridge.

Steffy: Well, finn understands. Amelia can help out with the kids. All systems go.

Taylor: Aspen, huh?

Steffy: Yeah. Bill’s house couldn’t be more timely. You get to clear your mind, exhaust all your options, and then come to terms with whatever you decide.

Taylor: Okay, that– that sounds like a logical strategy.

Steffy: Then let’s go.

Taylor: You know, I thought I would be moving in a different direction here, you know, towards ridge. That was the wrong way. Ridge is married to brooke. The fact that I love him doesn’t change that. It is way past time for me to move on.

Hope: Why would child protective services show up at eric’s? Do you know?

Brooke: I spoke to ridge briefly. Apparently, they wanted to check on douglas.

Hope: Why?

Brooke: He’s fine, honey, really.

Hope: Well, do you care to enlighten me, then? Because I don’t understand why C.P.S. Was called on thomas.

[ Brooke scoffs ]

Ridge: Why? Why?

Thomas: It feels like there’s only one explanation at this point. It’s like, brooke has always hated me.

Ridge: No, that’s not true, thomas.

Thomas: It is true. I mean, look at what she’s trying to do. She’s trying to take my son away from me. And then for what? For chopping up an apple with a knife?

Ridge: She said she didn’t make the phone call. She told me.

Thomas: And, uh, you really believe that?

Ridge: She wouldn’t lie to me about this. I’m gonna go see her and she’s gotta tell the truth to me, to my face. You didn’t live this strong, this long to get put

Hope: I’m still having a really hard time understanding why C.P.S. Was even called in the first place.

Brooke: I don’t know, but it really worries me.

Hope: And you said that ridge insisted that there was absolutely nothing wrong, nothing going on.

Brooke: Well, somebody felt strongly enough to call in a complaint. And I really hate saying this because thomas is ridge’s son. But, honey, maybe you can use this to get douglas back home to you, where he belongs.

Hope: I am not going to force that issue right now after what they just went through. I mean, mom, come on, can you imagine how awful that must have been, to have those people show up and then question your parenting?

Brooke: Well, then maybe he shouldn’t be wielding knives around his son.

Hope: Oh, wow. Mom. Mom.

Brooke: Honey, think about it. I mean, thomas told me he’s been doing this with this knife for a very long time, and douglas is always around him. So what? What’s gonna happen one day? Douglas is running around like that, and he falls on top of the knife. I mean, god forbid. Kids can be careless. That’s why the parents have to be careful.

Hope: Thomas is.

Brooke: “Thomas is.” Wow, I can’t believe that you are defending him again. This is what worries me. When you spend too much time with thomas, this is what happens. He knows how to manipulate you, hope.

Hope: Mom, I’m not naive. And if I’m defending thomas, then that’s because he deserves it. And as for me, spending all the time at eric’s, that’s where my son is, so that’s where I’m going to be.

Brooke: Well, I’m just going to pose a question here. Do you really think it’s wise to be around thomas that much?

Hope: Hmm. Now there you go, sounding just like liam.

Steffy: You know, instead of leaving town, you could hold your ground and fight for dad.

[ Taylor sighs ]

Taylor: Honey, I shouldn’t be fighting for a married man.

Steffy: Why? Brooke came after him when you were married to him.

Taylor: Okay, and that is a huge difference between brooke and me. I didn’t come back to L.A. To steal her husband.

Steffy: But you also didn’t expect to have this strong connection with dad.

Taylor: Doesn’t matter if he’s married. Come on, steffy. I have to love myself more than the possibility of a future with your father.

Steffy: I get what you’re saying. I really do. But, I just don’t want you to close any doors. Yeah, dad is married to brooke, but you know she’s gonna screw up. She always screws up, and then dad’s gonna realize he belongs with you.

Taylor: Yeah, okay, well, let him do that without wasting my time, all right? Because I don’t want to wait around for that anymore.

Steffy: I’m not asking you to do that. I just want you to be open to the possibility of a future with dad. I just have such a strong feeling about it. You two belong together. Just please, don’t close your heart, mom.

Taylor: I have to close my heart a little bit, because that’s how I protect it. I didn’t expect to fall in love with your father more than I already was. But, I did. Something happened with us, and… I just got– I just got to get away. I got to get away from him, and just figure out where I’m going from here.

Ridge: All I hear is that voice recording, I can’t get out of my head.

Thomas: Sorry, dad. I know this is torturing you. Can’t be that much of a surprise though. I mean, she did say that she would call C.P.S.

Ridge: She said it was– it was a moment of frustration. It was just an offhanded comment.

Thomas: Yeah, well, you heard her. You heard her voice, saying that… that I was a danger to my own son, to people who could actually take my son away from me. You heard her say her name, and then you, you call her out on it and then… she lies straight to you.

Ridge: Not a word to my dad or to steffy. Not now, okay?

Thomas: I won’t say anything. Are you gonna be okay?

Ridge: If she did this, I have to give her a chance to come clean. So, I’m gonna go over and I’m gonna see my wife. Cats really know how to do… less,

[ Phone chimes ]

Hope: Hope logan. Oh, hi, edgar. Yes, it’s so good to hear from you. Absolutely, I am so excited for our collaboration. Well, actually, because, uh, thomas is the lead designer for hope for the future. I think that should be his decision. Mm-hmm.

[ Hope laughs ] I know, all right, I’ll have him reach out. Thank you so much. All right, bye. What?

Brooke: Nothing.

Hope: Hmm, really? Because I know that look, and I think you should just say what you’re thinking.

Brooke: Well, listening to you just now, made me realize how interwoven your life with thomas really is. So, is that a coincidence?

Hope: And what exactly is that supposed to mean?

Brooke: Honey, can’t you see how he’s worked his way into your life? You guys are co-parenting together, and he’s obviously this integral part of your business. And now when you wanna see douglas, it’s a package deal with thomas.

Hope: I’m aware of how our relationship works. Are you suggesting that I’m not?

Brooke: No, of course not.

Hope: Okay. Because when you say it like that, it kind of implies that I’m incapable of taking care of myself or making wise decisions. And I get that it’s motivated by concern, but I wish you would just give me a little more credit than that. That I might have, I don’t know, learned something along the way? Mom, I know who thomas is, the good and the bad. And believe it or not, for a while now, all I have seen is the good side. And it’s actually really refreshing to see douglas and thomas together. I mean, douglas is so happy right now.

Brooke: It’s just that thomas has used douglas in the past in order to manipulate you.

Hope: Okay, but that is not what is happening now. So, I need you to trust me on that, mom. Thomas is doing what he said he would do, which is to become the man worthy of his son’s love. And that is why this is so upsetting to me. What happened with the C.P.S. Thomas is finally on the right track, he did not deserve that.

Brooke: Okay, I understand.

[ Cellphone ping ] Oh, I was hoping that was ridge responding to my text, but…

Hope: Well, I’m sure he’ll be back home soon. And I know you two need some alone time together, so I am, um… I’m going to head to the office to go have a conversation with thomas because I need to make sure that douglas is okay after… everything.

Steffy: The pilot said we should be taking off shortly. Bill texted, I guess the fellow will be there to greet us when we get in aspen.

Taylor: Okay. Well, I’m looking forward to the change of scenery. That will be nice. No ridge reminders.

[ Steffy sighs ] Oh no, the last time I was on a private plane was on the forrester jet, and we were coming up from monaco.

Steffy: Yeah, but we were so happy. Grateful to have finn back.

Taylor: It was such a beautiful day. So much joy for you and your family. We were so worried, on the way there, you know. But then, then a miracle happened.

Steffy: Finn. And now he’s back with his family.

Taylor: Yes, he is. He loves you so much. You picked such a wonderful man.

Steffy: Like mother, like daughter.

Taylor: Oh, boy, here we go.

Steffy: I’m just saying. You had your miracle when you and dad kissed in monaco. A kiss that never would have happened if you two weren’t in love with each other. I know it’s hard, mom. I know it’s– it’s unfair that dad goes home every single night to brooke, and it’s like a dagger in your heart. But know that he loves you, so don’t give up.

Taylor: Put your seatbelt on.

Brooke: Oh, great. Our favorite table? Oh, okay. That’s super. Well, see you then. There you are.

Ridge: Dinner reservations, huh?

Brooke: Yeah, I just thought it would be nice to get your mind off of what happened today. I mean, that was crazy, right?

Ridge: It was crazy, having child services showing up at my dad’s house was unexpected. Disturbing.

Brooke: Yeah, sorry you had to experience that. So, did you learn anything else about the C.P.S. Visit? Hi, I’m jason and I’ve lost 202 pounds on golo.

Taylor: Did you talk to finn?

Steffy: I did, offered to see if he wanted to join us.

[ Taylor sighs ]

Taylor: Okay, that’d be fun.

Steffy: Or maybe it should just be us. So, you get a chance to clear your mind.

Taylor: No, no, no. It’d be great if finn came. Can take the heat off me from my relentless daughter.

Steffy: Am I really that bad?

Taylor: Yes.

[ Both chuckle ]

Taylor: No, it’s fine if finn comes, it really is. You guys are so wonderful together. I adore the guy.

Steffy: Yeah, you adore finn. You really adore dad. Mom, come on. You can have that miracle. Just keep the door open, that’s all.

Taylor: I don’t wanna keep the door open for ridge anymore. That draft is cold. Besides, something always leads him back to brooke so…

Steffy: Well, you play fair. Brooke doesn’T.

Taylor: Look if– if… she is the love of his life, if that’s who he wants, then… I wish him well.

Brooke: Child protective services doesn’t just show up at your doorstep for no reason.

Ridge: No, somebody called them. I’m trying to figure out who that was.

Brooke: Has thomas crossed somebody lately?

Ridge: What do you mean?

Brooke: I don’t know, like, maybe he rubbed somebody the wrong way and they’re just trying to get back at him.

Ridge: Seems a little extreme. They interrogated douglas.

Brooke: Well, maybe whoever called didn’t know that douglas was gonna be questioned. Maybe they thought they were just gonna go after thomas.

Ridge: Right.

Brooke: Well, I mean, I certainly don’t know who it was. I’m sorry you had to witness that. And I hope that they were gentle with douglas.

Ridge: They were. I got to go. I forgot something at the office.

Brooke: Wait, what? Now? It–

Ridge: Yeah.

Brooke: Oh, ridge.

Ridge: It was you.

Brooke: Please get there as soon as possible. His father, thomas forrester, is unstable. He has a knife. Please, hurry.

Ridge: You lied to me. You lied to my face. It was you. It was you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Walter: If anyone finds out that I played this recording for you… I could lose everything, okay? The contract that I have with the organization, I would be totally finished. You have to understand my–

Thomas: Walter, we appreciate it. And trust me, no one is ever going to find out, right, dad? Dad?

Ridge: Yeah, no one’s gonna find out. I can’t believe it was brooke.

Thomas: It’s obviously her, her voice, and she even said her name. Your wife called child protective services on me. She’s trying to take away my son.

Liam: Oh, boy. Just wait ’til hope finds out about this. Or does she already know?

Brooke: Oh, I don’t know. Not from me. She’s probably over at eric’s hearing all about it.

Liam: Well, yeah. She’s been spending a lot of time over there lately, with douglas and, of course, thomas.

Brooke: Right. Something neither of us is very thrilled about.

Liam: I mean, I get why it’s important for hope to know that douglas is okay. And she does. She always comes home saying that he’s having the best time. Which is why I don’t really understand– like, okay, like you and I, we have our issues with thomas, especially with this whole knife thing. But to think that somebody actually called C.P.S. On him.

Steffy: You and dad are meant to be. There’s a reason why you’ve never moved on. You never made it work with anybody else. Because dad is the one. He’s the only one.

Taylor: But that loyalty’s a bit one sided, don’t you think? He’s always going to be torn between me and brooke.

Steffy: That was dad a long time ago. He was talking about moving on, growing, being better. That’s not achievable with brooke. She makes him miserable. It’s one disappointment after the next. I see him with you, so much contentment in his eyes, it’s clear he loves you, mom. Don’t give up.

Taylor: You know, when you argue with reality, you lose… 100% of the time.

Steffy: Uh-huh.

Taylor: No, your dad is married to brooke. I cannot argue with that. That is reality. I’m not the homewrecker here.

Steffy: How many homes has she wrecked?

Taylor: Okay, that is brooke’s karma, not mine. Do I need to pull out my “two wrongs don’t make a right” speech? ‘Cause I will.

Steffy: Mom, I love you so much.

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Steffy: You’re, like, so pretty. But sometimes I just wish–

Taylor: No, no more “sometimes…” when it comes to compromising my integrity.

Steffy: I understand that, I totally get that. I love your goodness, I really do. But, like, I know there’s a fire deep down inside… you just gotta, like, ignite it, and fight for dad. Don’t let brooke win again.

Liam: Do you think there’s more going on here? Like, whoever reported thomas actually knows something we don’t?

Brooke: Uh, it’s possible. But C.P.S. Didn’t find anything wrong. And ridge said that they did the check, and it went well, and they’re not taking any action.

Liam: Selfishly, I admit, I mean, there’s a part of me that wouldn’t hate it if somebody came in and basically told thomas, “listen, you’re not providing the safe environment you’re supposed to be as a father.” And maybe, maybe that would, like, shock him out of this whole full custody thing.

Brooke: Yes, that crossed my mind.

Liam: The truth is, in reality, that would be obviously terrible ’cause it would mean the situation over there is, in fact, dangerous enough that somebody had to step in for douglas’s sake. And so, I guess… yeah, no, I guess it’s, um, it’s a relief to know that whoever made that call was probably wrong.

Brooke: Wrong or not, thomas shouldn’t have douglas all the time.

Liam: Oh, yeah, no, no argument there. I mean, the kid needs to come home.

Brooke: He does. He needs to come back home to you, beth and hope. And away from thomas.

Ridge: Play it again.

Walter: Ridge–

Ridge: I need to be sure

Thomas: Dad, it was obviously–

Ridge: I– just, play it one more time, please.

Walter: Promise me you won’t say anything to anyone.

Receiver: Child protective

services.

Brooke: Hello.

I’d like to report

a child in danger.

His name is douglas forrester,

he’s at 369 willow hill road,

los angeles.

Please get there

as soon as possible.

His father,

thomas forrester, is unstable.

He has a knife.

Receiver: And your name,

ma’am?

Brooke: Brooke logan.

Please hurry.

Thomas: I, uh, I appreciate you doing that for us.

Walter: Wouldn’t do it for anyone else. But just, please, please…

Thomas: No, no, no, no. Between us, promise.

Walter: Thank you. Well, I’ll– I’ll let you process this. It’s good seeing you both. Wish it was under better circumstances.

Thomas: Yeah, me too.

Walter: Will your father be okay?

Thomas: Yeah, I’m sure that was just, uh, hard for him to hear. Appreciate it.

Walter: You got it.

Thomas: I’m sorry, dad. Did you know if you turn to cold with tide

Liam: We had such a good system going, you know, it was working. We had a routine.

Brooke: Yes, something kids need. And you and hope let thomas be a part of it. He spent a lot of time with douglas. I don’t know why he would want to disrupt that.

Liam: Well, I can’t think of a reason, to have access to hope. I mean, because it puts her in this awkward position, right? Where if she wants to spend any time with her son, she has to go over there and spend time with him. It’s kind of messed up, if you think about it.

Brooke: Yeah, that is messed up.

Liam: I mean, I– I’m trying to take hope’s word for it, when she says she’s got her eyes wide open, but also just based on her choices, it’s really hard to believe that hope… that she sees thomas for who he really is.

Brooke: I don’t think she does. And I definitely don’t think ridge does, or taylor, for that matter. I mean, she’s had a few conversations with her son and she thinks that he’s fixed. Come on. I think this is all because of taylor. You know, she came into town and she started fanning the flames, and she put this idea in thomas’s head that he wasn’t spending enough time with his son, and voila. It’s not about douglas at all. This is about taylor coming together with ridge. She just wanted to get ridge back. All she’s doing is trying to drive a wedge between ridge and me.

Taylor: I don’t want to have to fight for a life with your father, I shouldn’t have to fight. It’s time someone fought for me.

Steffy: I get that. But how is dad supposed to fight for you if you aren’t even here?

Taylor: Are you rescinding the aspen offer? ‘Cause that’s what it sounds like–

Steffy: Absolutely not, we are definitely going. I could, possibly, invite dad.

Taylor: Please don’T.

Steffy: I think you would have amazing memories.

Taylor: Okay, we have so many memories. Lots and lots of memories. See, the problem is, is that I got sucked into the idea of making more memories with him.

Steffy: There was a genuine connection between you two, when you got back to L.A.

Taylor: Yes. And that connection is the problem. That’s why I have to back away from ridge. I– I have to. He’s married to brooke.

Ridge: This doesn’t make sense.

Thomas: Well, yes and no. I mean, no, it doesn’t make any sense why brooke would do something like that, so hurtful to our family. It’s a huge slap in your face. I don’t see why anyone would do that to their husband. But, at the same time, I mean, she did say that she would do it. She said she’d call C.P.S. If she had to.

Ridge: She didn’t have to. She didn’t have to. Douglas is safe here, he’s always been safe. And I asked her. And you– you heard her, she denied it.

Thomas: She lied.

Ridge: I told her I would intervene, if there was ever a problem, I would be there, I would fix it, it would be okay. So, she wouldn’t, she wouldn’t have done that, she– she would have, she would’ve–

Thomas: You heard her, dad. We both did.

Ridge: She wouldn’t lie to me. She wouldn’t lie to me. Hi, I’m nancy.

Steffy: Sure, dad always ends up with brooke, until he doesn’t–

Taylor: Oh steffy…

Steffy: There’s gonna be a day when dad’s had enough, and I promise you, mom, that day is coming.

Steffy: I promise you.

Taylor: Do you know how many times I have told myself that? That this is certainly gonna be the day that ridge decides he wants more for himself.

Steffy: I know this is hard, and I know that you’re hurting.

Taylor: Yes, hurting, frustrated. And steffy, that is all on me. I’ve been a willing participant

Steffy: No, you know that dad loves you. He said it, he shows you.

Taylor: Yes, and then he goes home to brooke. Look, I’ve been very vocal about how wrong it was for brooke to interfere with my marriage– and not just mine. Your grandmother’s, her sister’s, her daughter’S… I’m gonna do something that brooke logan has never done. Respect a marriage. Even if I have to leave town to do it.

Liam: Well, look, just because C.P.S. Didn’t take any action, doesn’t mean there won’t be consequences, right? The fact that somebody had to show up at all, I mean, that could have an effect, right? Like that– that could be the ammunition that hope needs to convince thomas to change things up.

Brooke: Could be. I mean, I got to think that thomas is freaking out right now, right? Maybe ridge is, too. Who knows? I can only imagine how upset they both are.

Ridge: I just…

Thomas: It wasn’t an anonymous call. She even left her name.

[ Phone rings ]

Ridge: Steffy.

Thomas: Oh, put her on speaker.

Ridge: Steffy, hey, I’m here on speakerphone. I’m here with your brother.

Thomas: Hey steffy.

Steffy: Hey, thomas. Good. You guys can both hear me.

Ridge: What’s wrong?

Steffy: Yeah, I really need to talk to you. Mom’s on a work call, probably won’t be on long.

Ridge: Wait, is something going on with your mother?

Steffy: She wants to leave.

Ridge: Leave what? Your place?

Steffy: Los angeles.

Thomas: What? Why?

Steffy: Because it’s– it’s killing her, dad. Seeing you constantly, go back to brooke.

Thomas: Okay, well, you can’t let her go. You have to convince her to stay. She has every reason to stay.

Steffy: The thing is, she’s really down right now. So, maybe some time away, could be a good thing. Especially if I’m with her to make sure she comes back.

Thomas: Where would you go?

Steffy: Aspen.

Ridge: Aspen?

Steffy: Yeah, bill called me, said he was putting his house up for sale and that we could take a look at it. We’re gonna take his jet and go.

I mean, the timing is good. Mom wants the space, and I can try to convince her not to give up.

Ridge: Give up on what?

Steffy: On you, dad.

Mom is losing faith. She loves you. She’s not a homewrecker. But this is all just so confusing for her.

Ridge: It’s confusing for all of us.

Steffy: How is that

confusing for you? All brooke does is disappoint you.

Are you really gonna

choose her again? Look, mom’s coming, I gotta go. Please don’t give up on her.

Thomas: Mom’s in pain. She wants to leave town. You know, steffy and I have seen you go back and forth between our mom and brooke so many times. It’s painful for us, but it’s painful for her, too. I mean, lately, I know that you’ve been living over at brooke’s, but your heart has been with mom and our family. And that’s been amazing, hasn’t it? Don’t let mom lose faith in you. Don’t make her go through all of this suffering. Especially after what brooke did. Why give your family just any eggs

Steffy: I don’t like the idthe idea of you going away. But I understand it. If you feel as though it’s necessary then I’m coming with you.

Taylor: To babysit.

Steffy: You don’t need a babysitter. You need a daughter. Someone who cares about you and understands what you’re going through. And a daughter who gives, like, a really amazing pep-talk, remind you, to never give up on dad.

Taylor: Oh, god, okay, so that’s the real reason you want to tag along.

Steffy: Tag along? I’m pretty sure bill was the one who called moi. So, you’re the one tagging along.

Taylor: That is an excellent point. Honey, I know you think I’m running away. But I’m not, I’m just–

Steffy: No, I get it. Maybe some time away is exactly what you need.

Taylor: I think you’re right. I just need to– I need to get my head on straight. Because when I come back, brooke will still be your dad’s wife.

Brooke: Ridge was upset. He was very upset.

Liam: Well, I’m not surprised. Somebody calls child protective services on your son, that’s gonna do a number on ya.-You and I, we have our issues with thomas, but I– I’m not, I just– I wish I knew who made the call.

Brooke: I’m sure whoever did call, did it out of love and concern for douglas.

Liam: Yeah, yeah, probably… hopefully. It’s weird to think we may never know.

Brooke: Yeah.

Thomas: It doesn’t have to be this way, dad. You can choose a better life. You could be with someone that makes you laugh, lifts your spirits.

Ridge: I thought I had that with brooke.

Thomas: No, I literally can’t remember a time where it was like that with brooke. You can’t pretend that brooke is a person that she’s not.

Ridge: I don’t know what to do with this.

Thomas: This isn’t the first betrayal, dad. It’s not going to be the last

Ridge: We’ve forgiven each other for so many things. So many things. But this… trying to take your son away from you. Thomas, she wouldn’t lie to me, she wouldn’T.

Thomas: No. Brooke wouldn’t lie to you. Unless she’s trying to protect herself from something horrible she’s done. Oh, like she did when, uh, when she was drinking with deacon. Remember that? When she, she was kissing him and let him sleep in your bed. Or how about when she made out with bill?

Ridge: Thomas, stop,

Thomas: No, no, no. I actually have to say this. Can we dispel with the whole thing about brooke not lying? It’s literally the first thing she goes to. Mom tells the truth, right off the bat. But, brooke, the truth has to be pulled out of her. Trying to act like she’s not going to betray you. You mean, like, she betrayed you with uncle thorne or with your father? Look, I’m not saying this to hurt you. That’s the last thing I would ever want. I’m your son, I love you. I want to protect you, I want to protect mom, I want to protect our family. But stop acting like brooke deserves you. Brooke called child protective services on me. She’s trying to take away my son. You heard the recording, dad, it was her voice. She even said her name. It was brooke, dad. It was brooke.

Ridge: Logan, are you still there?

Brooke: Yeah. Yeah, I’m here.

Ridge: You know, I hate asking you this, but put yourself in my shoes. I had people from child services come to my dad’s house, question my son, my grandson. Took everything in me not to lose it.

And you’ve been saying

for a very long time thomas

isn’t fit to raise a family. You don’t think that douglas is safe with him.

Thomas: Dad, she did it.

Ridge: Just please be honest with me. Just tell me. Did you do this? Did you call cps on my son?

[ Birds squawking and waves

Steffy: Mom?

Taylor: Hey, sweetie. How was your meeting?

Steffy: Uh, good, good. Paris and zende are really stepping it up. Finn stopped by.

Taylor: That’s very sweet of him.

Steffy: What is it? What’s wrong?

Taylor: I’m just– I’m just processing.

Steffy: Mom, you can talk to me.

Taylor: You know, I– I– I love your father so much, you know? He knows it, and you and thomas know. Even brooke knows, but–

Steffy: Dad loves you. He flat out told me.

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, I’m just, um… I’m tired of the back-and-forth and the mixed signals. It feels like…

[ Steffy sighs ] Feels like history is repeating itself, and I did not come back to L.A. For this.

Steffy: Mom, where’s this coming from?

Taylor: Oh, I’ve been thinking about it a lot. I’ve been watching it play out in real time.

Steffy: I’m not–

Taylor: Sorry.

Steffy: I’m not following.

Taylor: I– I– I– I have just been hit with some common sense this week. Everything regarding ridge and brooke and where I fit in and… you know, I told your dad today that it feels like it’s a– it’s a karmic lesson or something. Me– me waiting for him to realize that brooke doesn’t make him happy. So he can choose us only to watch him go back to brooke’S. I know how this story ends.

Steffy: It’s not gonna happen. It’s not gonna happen. Dad’s at the end of his patience with brooke. Their marriage is not gonna last, I’m telling you.

Taylor: I am not a consolation prize.

> Steffy: I get that. But, I see you two together. You’re incredible, mom, and it’s not because brooke is terrible. It’s because dad is in love with you and that’s what drives brooke crazy.

Taylor: It doesn’t matter.

Steffy: Fine. If you want to give up, I’ll respect that. But don’t give up because of brooke. I’m telling you, you and dad are wonderful together.

Taylor: Yeah, we really are. We are wonderful together. And he’s married to brooke.

Brooke: You’re asking me if I called cps?

Ridge: Listen, I don’t think you’d do anything like that, but you mentioned that you would if–

Brooke: Ridge, it wasn’t me.

Ridge: It wasn’t you? Okay.

Brooke: Look, I– I understand. You had to ask. But the important thing is that douglas is safe.

Ridge: And– and he is safe. He’s always been safe, and this– this wasn’t– this wasn’t fair to thomas at all. I mean, nothing’s gonna happen here. All right?

Brooke: Okay.

Ridge: There’s a lot of things going on. I’ll call you later.

[ Beep ] Brooke said she didn’t do it.

Thomas: I’m sure that’s what she said.

Ridge: Thomas, come on.

Thomas: Look, I– I know you want to defend your wife, but I mean, do you actually believe that that’s true? We really had our hands full with our two-year-old.

Taylor: I– I hear– I hear what you’re saying. But, honey, I– I’ve been on this marriage-go-round for decades. I want to get off.

Steffy: Mom, I know you’re devastated, but you can’t give up. You’ve been in other relationships. Has anyone made you feel the way dad does?

Taylor: No. It hasn’t always been a good thing, you know?

Steffy: Well, I think you and dad are meant to be, and i don’t care if brooke talks about destiny. You’re his true love. You are.

Taylor: X marks the spot.

Steffy: Exactly. When dad proposed to you?

Taylor: Yeah. The boat, the deserted island, the treasure hunt.

Steffy: The treasure hunt, yeah, I know. It’s, like, so dad.

Taylor: So, your dad.

[ Steffy chuckles ] With an x in the sand. Found the ring in a treasure box. Hmm. He told me that he wanted to marry me and that he wouldn’t take no…

Both: For an answer.

Taylor: He said that I was the most important woman in his life. The only woman. It was like a fairy tale.

Steffy: It was.

Taylor: There was no happily ever after. Steffy, I’ve been in love with your father for over 30 years. And so much has happened, but I’m the other woman. I know I am on the wrong side of history on this one. Brooke is married to your father. I am not the homewrecker here. That is her karma. It is not mine.

Liam: Sorry I ran off like that. It’s, you know, my dad. When he says “work comes first,” you know, it’s, uh… oh, sorry. Thought– I thought hope was in here. She go down to the cabin?

Brooke: I’m not sure.

Liam: You okay?

Brooke: Um, yeah. I– I don’t want to get into it.

Liam: Yeah, I– I don’t want to pry, but I do care about ya, and, uh, you don’t seem okay.

Brooke: It’s just I have a lot on my mind, a lot I’m trying to process.

Liam: With ridge?

Brooke: Yeah. Ridge. Thomas.

Liam: Is this about the whole thomas/knife thing? Damn it, I wish we could just go over to the house, grab douglas, and get him the hell out of there, like, right now.

Brooke: Me too.

Thomas: Look, dad, I– I know you’re in a tough place and you want to believe brooke, but, come on, you’re not actually buying this, right?

Ridge: She said she didn’t call cps, and I believe her, yes.

Thomas: She’s lying.

Ridge: Stop! That’s my wife. She said she didn’t do it, so she didn’t do it. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be angry at you. I’m just– it’S…

Thomas: It’s all right. We’re both frustrated.

Ridge: Well, let’s be frustrated with the people who did this to us, people who are trying to tear apart out family. It’s not brooke.

Thomas: There is a way we could find out.

Ridge: What are you talking about?

Thomas: You remember walter, product development?

Ridge: Walter, yeah, sure. What does he have to do with this?

Thomas: Oh, he decided to leave fashion and work in the, uh, the social services. I mean, he– he’s a consultant for a few branches. I think one of them is child protective services, so I’m sure they record those calls. He could probably tell us who made the call.

If you have type 2 diabetes

or high blood pressure…

[ Steffy chuckles lightly ]

[ Phone ringing ]

[ Beep ]

Steffy: Hey, bill.

Bill: Hey, steffy. Uh, listen, I’m rushing to a meeting, so I’m gonna cut to the chase. I’m putting the aspen home up for sale. I know how much you love it there, so I wanted to give you the first opportunity at it.

Steffy: Oh, wow. Uh, uh, that’s very nice of you. Thank you for the offer.

Bill: Listen, nobody’s there at the moment, so if you want to go check it out, you’re welcome to do that. In fact, uh, you can use my jet. I’ll have othello set it up for you.

Steffy?

Steffy: Uh, yeah, yeah, thank you. I’ll– I’ll– I’ll get back to you, okay? Thanks.

Taylor: Who was that?

Steffy: It doesn’t– it doesn’t matter. Look, I want to continue this conversation about dad.

Taylor: About me moving on with my life. That’s great.

Steffy: Dad loves you. And you love dad. I’m not asking you to be a homewrecker. Dad and brooke’s home was wrecked long ago.

Taylor: Yeah, well, this isn’t the first time their marriage has fallen apart because of brooke’s manipulative games, and it won’t be the last. I know how this story ends. Lots of drama, tears for days, and your dad ends up with brooke.

Liam: It kind of seems like maybe something else is going on. Is there something I’m missing?

Brooke: Ridge called while you were out. He was very upset.

Liam: Oh. Okay. Why?

Brooke: Well, as you know, thomas taking douglas to live with him at eric’s has put kind of a strain on our marriage.

Liam: Yeah, hope’s been, uh, worried about that. Not gonna lie, I have been too.

Brooke: Ridge and I always work things out. My main concern is douglas. Thomas is dangerous. I mean, yes, he’s made strides to make himself a better person, but who changes that much that fast?

Liam: I agree 100%.

Brooke: Feel like he’s just a crazy man wielding a knife around his child. And ridge doesn’t understand the danger it is for douglas to be there.

Liam: Neither does hope. I just– I don’t know. I– I think, um, I think maybe they’re so invested in– in thomas being well that– that it’s clouding their judgment. I– I can’t believe that douglas has been over there for this long. I… all right, well, anyway, what– so, what– what did happen? Is it you and ridge arguing over thomas and douglas again?

Brooke: No. No, but I can understand why his anger was directed at me. Child protective services were called to go check on thomas’ treatment of douglas, and ridge is very upset.

[ Brooke sighs ]

Thomas: Thank you.

Ridge: For what?

Thomas: For calling walter.

Ridge: No, it’s a good idea. We need to figure out who made that phone call.

Thomas: Yeah.

[ Knocking at door ]

Ridge: Here we go. Walter.

Walter: Ridge forrester, hey.

Ridge: How long has it been?

Walter: Uh, since you were teaching this guy how to drive a stick. Told you not to let him learn on the porsche.

Ridge: And you were right. I miss that car.

[ Walter laughs ]

Thomas: I’m a much better driver now, thankfully. It’s good to see you.

Walter: Good to see you, both of you.

Ridge: It is good to see you.

Walter: Yeah.

Ridge: Wasn’t easy losing you at forrester.

Walter: Are you kidding? It wasn’t easy leaving.

Ridge: But you’ve got a new job now, right? Helping people. Helping children.

Walter: It’s the main department my company consults for.

Ridge: That’s great.

Walter: So, what’s going on? Your call sounded urgent.

Ridge: It– it is urgent, walter. Uh, look. Thomas just moved into my dad’s house with his son douglas, and today, two cps officers showed up to question the boy.

Walter: Really?

Ridge: I just want to make it clear that– that– that douglas is safe and he’s happy and healthy in this house, and the officers saw that right away.

Walter: That’s really great to hear. Is this why you wanted to see me?

Ridge: We wanted to see you, walter, ’cause we’d like to know who made the phone call. ‘Cause either someone was deeply misinformed or someone was trying to hurt my family or my son’s name. So we need to see who made the call. I’m jonathan lawson

Steffy: Mom, I understand that you don’t want history to repeat itself, but you and dad have been great, and dad and brooke’s marriage is barely holding on. Why give up now?

Taylor: Because I don’t like who I am right now. I’m fighting with brooke over your father.

Steffy: But he’s finally realizing who brooke really is. And he’s realizing what he has with you. You honestly believe that he’s not in love with you, really?

Taylor: No, I know– I know he is. He’s in love with me while he’s married to brooke, trying to make a decision. That is– that is brooke’s karma coming back. I’m not gonna do to her what she did to me. To us. I’ll respect the marriage. I– I just can’t do it here.

Steffy: What are you saying?

Taylor: I just need to get out of L.A. I need to go.

Steffy: What?

Taylor: I just…

Steffy: No.

Taylor: Just temporary, I promise. I just– I don’t want to be here.

Steffy: Okay. If you’re not going permanently, then… I’ll go with you. We could go to aspen.

Taylor: Aspen?

Steffy: Yes, aspen. I was just on the phone with bill. He’s selling his house. He wanted me to go check it out. So that’s where we’ll go.

Taylor: Honey, you have– you have finn. You have your kids. You have your job.

Steffy: Mom, let me worry about that.

Taylor: Honey, just, I–

Steffy: No, mom, you’ve always supported me. You’ve always been there for me. Now it’s my turn. You want to get away for a little bit? Fine. But you’re not doing this alone. I’m just never gonna stop giving up that you and dad belong together, that you’ll be happy. You’re gonna reunite.

Liam: Cps?

Brooke: Yes.

Liam: And, what, they just showed up at eric’s? Started questioning thomas and douglas?

Brooke: They did.

Liam: I– I’m– I’m so confused. What– who would– who would call cps on thomas?

Walter: Ridge, what you’re asking me–

Ridge: I wouldn’t ask you at all if it wasn’t for my family. It’s my son’s name.

Walter: I can’t play you a recording from a cps call. It’s unethical.

Ridge: All of this is unethical. I have strangers coming to my dad’s house and questioning my son like he’s a criminal, looking at douglas like he’s being abused. He’s a good father.

Walter: I don’t doubt that, but what you’re asking me–

Ridge: What I’m asking you is to try to help me. Who’s trying to tear apart my family? I want to know who made the phone call.

[ Walter sighs ]

Walter: I understand your predicament, I really do. I feel for you, but I– I can’t– I can’t give you confidential information.

Thomas: Look, hey, hey. This would be a personal favor to us. I realize that it’s stressful to you, but it’s gonna be off the record, okay? No one’s gonna find out.

Walter: I– I could lose my license, my livelihood.

Ridge: I wouldn’t let that happen.

[ Walter sighs ]

Walter: If it was anyone other than you– you have to promise me you won’t say a word to anyone about any of this, especially the person who made the phone call.

Thomas: I promise.

Ridge: No one’s ever gonna know.

Walter: Douglas?

Ridge: Douglas forrester.

Walter: It’s the wrong phone. Work phone. There.

[ Walter sighs ] Douglas forrester. I found the case. Case is closed. No findings of concern or need for follow-up. There is a voice recording of the phone call attached. Before I play it, you have to promise me both again that you won’t say a word to anyone.

Thomas: We won’T.

Ridge: Play it.

Woman: Child protective services.

Thomas: You’re from child protective services?

Cps agent: Yes, we are. Does the child douglas forrester reside at this address?

Thomas: Yeah, it’s my son.

Cps agent 2: Is he here? We need to check on his well-being.

Ridge: Why? He’s fine.

Cps agent: That’s what we’re here to determine.

Thomas: Did someone file a complaint?

[ Music fades ]

Brooke: It’s better to talk here. I’m not comfortable discussing this at the office.

Liam: Yeah, I mean, it’s not exactly a secret that you’re unhappy about douglas staying with thomas.

Hope: I have been very careful not to escalate things.

Liam: Yeah, okay, but here’s the thing. If your mom is right, and is seeing this… change in thomas for the worst, then maybe it’s time to escalate.

Brooke: Well, that’s exactly what I’m saying.

Hope: Okay, all right. All right. Fine, I’m listening.

Brooke: Don’t you have to go pick up beth?

Liam: No, she’s, uh– she’s gonna be at her friend’s house for a bit.

Brooke: I’m sure she misses douglas as much as we do. I just hate to think of douglas, trapped over there with thomas.

Paris: I really appreciate you taking the time to look over this proposal, steffy.

Steffy: Your grant package?

Paris: Investor outreach.

Steffy: Right.

Zende: If you guys need to talk, I can leave the sketch, or we can discuss it later.

Steffy: I’ll text you two later, see how everything’s going. That’ll be best, I think. Hey, babe.

Zende: Hi, finn.

Finn: Oh, pam said I could come right in.

Steffy: Yeah. Of course, yeah, anytime.

Finn: Sorry, am I breaking up a tense meeting.

Steffy: N-n-no I was just about to tell them what a great job you two are doing. It’s just, um, I’M…

Finn: Yeah, well, something’s going on.

Finn: Tell me, what’s up?

Steffy: Argh.

Finn: You and brooke got into it?

Steffy: She’s on a rampage.

Finn: About your mom or your brother?

Steffy: You know what? I really don’t want to get into it right now, especially in front of paris and zende, all this family drama.

Zende: Well, I am family. And paris and I already know all about the drama.

Paris: Yeah, and nobody wants to take sides, but we work with thomas, and we see how happy he is having douglas stay with him.

Steffy: Yeah, everyone’s happy about it… except brooke. She’s attacking thomas’s role as a father, questioning his ability to take care of his own son.

Brooke: Douglas has been with thomas long enough, it is fortunate nothing has happened to him yet.

Hope: Mom, if I thought that douglas was in any danger, I would step in immediately.

Brooke: Honey, you didn’t see that knife.

Liam: Yeah, but you did say that thomas didn’t let douglas play with it or anything, right?

Brooke: No. But he was watching his father using it. And, you know, he wants to emulate his dad. And now with the forrester’s pushing this forrester family legacy on him, it’s just…

[ Loud sigh ] What was thomas thinking? What kind of environment is that for a sweet, impressionable child, like douglas?

Thomas: My son is perfectly safe and happy here.

Cps agent: Then you won’t mind letting us speak to him.

Ridge: You have a warrant or something?

Cps agent 2: No, sir. We merely want to see your grandson for a few moments, ascertain his well-being and hopefully be on our way.

Cps agent: Unless, you have something to hide.

Ridge: No one has anything to hide.

Thomas: No, no. You can see him right now. He’s right here, in the living room.

Ridge: Come on.

Douglas: Hey, dad.

Thomas: Hey.

Douglas: Did you know that grandpa hasn’t won a single game in the last 20 games?

Thomas: That’s ’cause, grandpa, uh, stinks. But, uh, if you could put that down just for a minute, ’cause these, uh, these people just need to talk to you.

Douglas: Oh, okay.

Cps agent: Hi, douglas. I’m elizabeth. This is michaia. We just stopped by to see how you’re doing. A lot of people care about you and want to make sure you’re all right. Hi, my name is reggie and I

Zende: Do you think we should take this in–

Steffy: You know what? My brother has earned this time with douglas, and it makes me furious that anyone wants to take that from him.

Finn: Hope misses him, that’s understandable.

Steffy: No, brooke is painting my brother out to be this bad guy, which is not true. I mean, anyone could see it if they– they just spent a few seconds with douglas and thomas, they would see how much douglas loves and trusts his father.

Zende: Hopefully, brooke will see that, too. All this drama between the logans and the forresters, it has to end.

Steffy: Yeah.

Charlie: Oh, zende, there you are. Uh, they need you down in the cutting room.

Paris: Oh, and I have a call right now, too.

Steffy: Huh, yeah.

Charlie: Oh, oh, oh, boss, boss, listen. Um, your dad was talking about brooke earlier. Ha-have-have you seen her?

Steffy: No, I haven’t, and I really don’t want to.

Charlie: Okey dokey. Uh, okay. Until I get the all clear, I guess we should make this a brooke free zone, huh?

[ Chuckles ]

Finn: Oh, until you get the all clear this office should be off limits to everybody.

Charlie: Why would that be? Oh, oh, oh you– ok– I–

[ Chuckles ] Sorry!

Finn: Okay. Are you all right?

Steffy: No. I’m just worried about thomas. This whole situation with brooke is just getting impossible.

Brooke: The knife was scary enough, but thomas’s attitude worries me even more. I mean, the way he was just brushing me off.

Hope: Okay, look. I am concerned about the knife. I didn’t think that thomas would be so cavalier about his son’s safety. And you’re right. He may not realize, just, how tempting it is for a little boy to want to be like his dad.

Brooke: He’s not equipped to be a full-time parent.

Liam: Whoa, okay, all right. I know that we don’t want this to get ugly, we want it to be civil. But, you know, “a” we have to remember the guy’s past, and, “b”, if he’s now just straight up ignoring advice and basically telling douglas’s grandmother to go mind her own business, that’s– that’s not a good sign. You agree, right?

Brooke: Ugh, and I think we’re the only people who notice that. Poor douglas, he wants to be just like his dad, and then ridge, and taylor, and eric, they want to boost thomas up. I don’t think they would see the warning signs if it was glaring them in the face. This is too important. I mean, somebody has to look out for douglas.

Elizabeth: Well, I see you play chess. You any good?

Douglas: I guess.

Ridge: He’s really good. He lives here with thomas and my dad. They’re teaching him.

Douglas: Yeah, he’s a designer.

Michaia: You like living here with your dad and great-grandfather?

Douglas: Yeah, once great granddad let me play in the living room.

Michaia: What about schoolwork? Does he help you with that too?

Douglas: No, dad helps me with homework. Only if I need it.

Elizabeth: You and your dad spend a lot of time together?

Douglas: Yeah.

Elizabeth: We just want to make sure you feel safe here.

Douglas: Safe?

Elizabeth: You’re not scared? Worried about anything?

Douglas: No! Why would I? I love being here with my dad. There’s a pool, tennis courts, and a really big screening room.

Michaia: Sounds like a blast. Thanks for talking with us, douglas. We’d like to speak with your dad now.

Thomas: Yeah, bud. Why don’t you grab your colors and sketchbook, and head upstairs and I’ll meet you up there?

Douglas: Okay. Bye.

Elizabeth: Nice meeting you, douglas.

Ridge: Was it necessary? You saw how confused he was.

Elizabeth: We have to investigate every call we receive.

Thomas: Okay, well, now you saw that he is perfectly safe and happy here.

Michaia: We had reason to believe that your son might be in jeopardy. We were told there was an incident with a knife.

Steffy: I know you didn’t stop by to hear me go on and on and on about brooke.

Finn: No, I stopped by to see how you… are.

Steffy: Better when you’re here.

Finn: Yeah, but you’re still frustrated.

Steffy: Of course, I’m frustrated. Brook’s coming after my family. It’s like, every time things are going in the right direction for us, she interferes. She interferes with my parents, with thomas, trying to get him away from his son, making him sound like he’s a dangerous person. It’s ridiculous.

Finn: And it’s upsetting. But thomas is douglas’s father, brooke can complain about them living together all she wants, but she can’t actually do anything.

Steffy: This is brooke logan we’re talking about. Everybody knows she’ll do whatever it takes to get what she wants.

Brooke: I hate feeling this way about thomas. He’s ridge’s son.

Liam: I mean, I know you want to trust him, but if– if he’s making bad choices, you’re the only one who can call him out on.

Hope: Mom, if you think that this is serious and it needs to be addressed, then I will talk to him.

Brooke: Yes, honey, it’s very serious, but I don’t want you caught in the middle.

Hope: Douglas is my son, and I need to know he’s safe.

Brooke: Well, I wish we didn’t have to worry about that. But thomas has done a lot of crazy things in his past. His judgment hasn’t always been sound.

Liam: Yeah, far from it.

Brooke: I can’t forget all the things that he’s done to you, hope. And the mannequin… and what about what he’s done to his own son? How he used douglas to get closer to you?

Hope: And it was inexcusable. But didn’t we want him to get better? Wasn’t that the point, to get him on the right track? I mean, mom, I think we need to be honest with ourselves here, he hasn’t shown any of those tendencies in a very long time. So, I do think we at least need to hear him out.

Liam: Well, we wouldn’t know. We-we haven’t even gotten to see him, with douglas. I mean, you get these invitations to the house, you’re going over there, so you’ve seen them. And, I mean, you say everything seems okay.

Brooke: But, yeah, they seem okay. But, honey, this is where douglas lives. Here with you. This is where we know he will be safe and secure.

Thomas: There was no incident with a knife.

Michaia: You deny having a large knife around the minor?

Thomas: I mean, like, I’ve like, a little pocketknife, but there was no accident.

Michaia: May we see the knife?

Ridge: What? Why?

Thomas: You know what, fine, I’ll get the knife and you guys can look at it.

Ridge: What do you–? What is happening here? Did somebody call you and say that the little kid was in danger. Is that what happened? What, that’s a secret? I’ll tell you what’s not a secret. My son is a good father, so there’s nothing to worry about here.

Thomas: Here you go. Here is the knife. You know what, you guys, you guys keep that thing because it disgusts me that there’s an idea that he could get hurt with anything that I have, I mean, it’S… look, my son is the most important thing in the world to me. It’s my job to make sure he’s safe, it’s my job to make sure he is secure. He-he’s living in this wonderful home, you can see how happy he is. Okay, he is surrounded by a family that loves him. Me most of all.

Michaia: We’re glad to hear that. We understand a visit like this can be upsetting, but a child safety must come first.

Thomas: Hey,I totally agree.

Elizabeth: Thank you, for your cooperation.

Ridge: Yeah.

[ Door closes ]

Thomas: What the hell was that?

Ridge: We got to make sure that none of this ends up on your permanent record. So, what is this? Now people think that douglas is in danger? Who called these people over here? Whoever it was, whoever made this– this phone call, they made a big mistake.

Finn: Hey, look, your brother, he’s holding his own.

Steffy: Yeah, he is. But once brooke sets her mind on something, she doesn’t let up, no matter who it hurts. Think of all the times she split my parents up, she wants my dad, she wants deacon, and she wants bill, she wants and wants and wants. It’s selfish and it’s toxic. But she doesn’t stop.

Finn: Well, it’s a good thing thomas has you looking out for him.

Steffy: Yeah. Thomas, douglas, my parents, everyone…

Finn: It’s a lot. I get it, feeling like your family is under attack, especially for someone as fiercely protective as you are. You said brooke never gives up? Guess what? Neither do you. All right? It’s one of the many things I love about you.

Steffy: “Many?”

Finn: Many. Come here.

Hope: Mom, I understand that you’re concerned about douglas.

Brooke: Honey, we don’t even know what’s going on over there at eric’S.

Hope: It’s where douglas wants to be. He asked to spend more time with his father.

Liam: Yeah, but he’s not old enough to make that decision. I think he’s mature enough to know if there is something wrong. And we know that for a fact, because in the past, he has told that to us.

Liam: Yeah.

Brooke: Okay, well, that’s a lot of responsibility to put on a little boy.

Hope: I am responsible, I am his mother, I have been keeping an eye out. I have been going over there and seen how he is with thomas. I have informed all of his teachers. I’ve been going to the house every day. He has been having a good time.

Liam: Okay. But just because he’s having a good time doesn’t mean he’s safe when you’re not there.

Brooke: That’s right. I mean, as a parent, you have to be diligent. The child expects you to be there, and love them, and support them, and put their needs first above everything else. And yes, maybe, thomas wants to do that for his son, but he can’t, because he’s not ready yet. And his behavior with that knife, that proves it. He has to be diligent. He has to be extremely careful with a child in his care. I have grave concerns about douglas living with thomas.

>Ridge: I can’t believe this. Can’t believe any of it. You know, really, I should call carter, get legal involved, make sure that none of this lands on you.

Thomas: Nah, you know, I don’t– I don’t think that they were convinced like anything was wrong.

Ridge: Why were they here? Why would they come to our house? What they– did they– they think that-that you’re– putting douglas in danger? You’re a great father.

Thomas: You know what?

Ridge: And wait, now they’re going to question that little boy, they’re going to question you?

Thomas: I would never give douglas a knife and let him play around with it, and possibly hurt–

Ridge: I know that. I think, everybody in their right mind would know that. There’s somebody out there’s– thinks differently.

Brooke: I mean, I will protect douglas no matter what, I would call child protective services on thomas, if I–

Ridge: Woah, woah, woah, you– no, no, no, no, no, no…

Thomas: What is it? Who are you calling? You think there’s a problem?

Ridge: I hope not.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Brooke: Ridge, hi.

Ridge: Hey. Where are you right now?

Brooke: I’m at home. Why?

Ridge: Just trying to find a way to tell you what just happened.

Brooke: What happened? You sound upset.

Ridge: I am upset. At my dad’s house, I was hanging out with douglas, and two officers from the cps showed up.

Brooke: Cps?

Ridge: Yeah. They were investigating thomas and douglas, and they questioned my grandson.

Brooke: Oh hun, oh what happened? Is douglas okay?

Ridge: Everyone’s okay, because douglas lives in a loving, beautiful house where he’s very safe. And the officers saw that right away, and they left. Here’s what bothers me… douglas and thomas had to go through this, in our house.

Brooke: Okay, well, you’re obviously angry.

Ridge: I got to ask you something. I don’t want to, but I have to ask you this, because this whole time you’ve been saying that you don’t think thomas is a good father to douglas. That you don’t feel safe having douglas in his care. Did you do this? Did you call child services on my son?

Steffy: Brooke said what?

Taylor: That thomas is dangerous, and that he hasn’t changed one bit.

Steffy: Oh, my god. When will brooke let up?

Taylor: I don’t know. I don’t know. But these attacks on your brother’s character are just getting worse and worse.

Steffy: Who does she think she is? Like, calm down, woman. Oh, my gosh.

Steffy: Look, it’s fine. She can come after me all she wants, bring it on. But to come after my kids? It’s like she’s looking for things to pick apart.

Steffy: Brooke thrives on conflict, and she’s always had issues with thomas and me.

Taylor: It’s ridiculous that she’s claiming that thomas is a danger to his son.

Hope: What do you mean? I have seen thomas make strides in his relationship with douglas, so…

Brooke: He’s convinced everybody that he’s turned his life around. But the other side is still there. I know, I’ve seen it.

Hope: Okay, so then what exactly happened?

Brooke: Honey, I’m sorry. I know you don’t wanna believe the worst in thomas.

Hope: No, I don’T. But I also wanna know if my son is at risk. So, what are you saying? You said that you saw thomas with a knife around douglas?

Liam: Excuse me? What is this about thomas and a knife?

Thomas: Somebody is clearly overreacting.

Ridge: I told brooke there’s nothing to worry about.

Thomas: You know, I was, uh, I was cutting an apple with a knife, dad, like anyone would do.

Ridge: All right, she just felt that the blade was maybe too close to the kid.

Thomas: I’m not giving it to him, letting him throw against the wall or something.

Ridge: I know. I know all that. But you know brooke, and she doesn’t trust you yet.

Thomas: Clearly, if she’s thinking about calling child protective services on me.

Steffy: Tell me every word out of brooke’s mouth.

Taylor: Well, I can only go off of what thomas told me, and, oof.

Steffy: Why does she keep doing this to him? Thomas is proving himself every single day.

Taylor: She’s convinced that thomas is emotionally unstable, that douglas shouldn’t be with him.

Steffy: She needs to worry about her daughter. Hope’s unwillingness to compromise. They share custody.

Taylor: You’re right. You’re right, none of this is okay. She’s making thomas doubt himself, making him think he’s not capable of being a good father.

Steffy: Oh, my gosh.

Liam: Okay, so, thomas had a knife.

Brooke: Yes.

Liam: And, what?

Brooke: Well, it wasn’t just a butter knife from the kitchen. I mean, this was a good sized knife, and it was sharp, and he was using it to cut an apple.

Liam: Well, that’s not creepy.

Brooke: The thing is, he shouldn’t have been doing that right by douglas. Douglas was sitting right there.

Liam: So, douglas is just– is sitting there. And then thomas pulls out a knife and starts cut– like, what was going through his head at that moment?

Brooke: I don’t know. It’s not just the knife. I mean, I have doubts about just how healthy and well-adjusted thomas really is.

Thomas: You really think brooke would do that?

Ridge: I shouldn’t have mentioned anything to you.

Thomas: Report me for child endangerment?

Ridge: No, no one’s gonna report anybody. Because it’s not necessary. You are an amazing father to that little boy.

Thomas: Thanks, dad. I mean, it does mean a lot hearing you say that. I just– I just can’T. I just wish that brooke would stay out of our lives for good.

Thomas: Brooke really has no respect for me as a father.

Ridge: Yeah, I see it. And I’m sorry. You worked so hard to get here. So hard, and everyone can see it. Everyone but brooke.

[ Knocking on door ]

Charlie: Hey, boss. Uh, you were asking if– if brooke had left the building?

Ridge: Yeah.

Charlie: Well, she’s in the design office with– with hope and liam.

Ridge: Okay. Thank you, charlie.

Charlie: You bet. I’m here for you.

Ridge: Charlie.

Charlie: Yeah. Yeah?

Ridge: Would you mind getting the door, please.

Charlie: Oh, sure.

Ridge: That’s your head of security.

Thomas: Yeah. Um, I just hate that brooke is giving you all this grief.

Ridge: I just want some peace for my family.

Thomas: That… that’s honestly what would be best for douglas.

Ridge: I know.

Thomas: I don’t know. I just– I can’t stand the idea that anyone would think that my house isn’t safe for him. Like, look, I’m gonna go home. I’m gonna make sure that– that it’s the safest place that it possibly can be.

Ridge: Come here. I believe in you.

Thomas: That means more than you can know.

Ridge: You put your son first, that’s all you can do.

Thomas: I just, um… I don’t know why brooke has to always come in and start drama and make the whole situation just– blow it out of proportion. You know what? I don’t need to blow up on you at all. It’s just, uh– I’ll just put it behind me. You know, actually, you should probably start heading over to the house ’cause douglas is waiting for you. Spend time with his grandpa.

Ridge: I’ve been looking forward to that all day.

Thomas: And then you can see just how safe that house is for a little boy.

Ridge: I don’t have to go over there to see that. I see the smile on his face every day.

Thomas: Oh. I know he’s looking forward to hanging out with you. He always has a great time.

Ridge: You always have a great time.

Thomas: Hey, I’m going to stay here and finish up some work, and then I’ll head over and meet you there.

Ridge: Sounds good.

Thomas: Uh, dad? I just wanna say it means so much knowing that you believe in me. I mean, I wouldn’t be the man that I am without you.

Taylor: Thomas has completely changed himself for the better.

Steffy: We know that. Dad knows that. But, brooke? She keeps making a case out of every little detail. Thomas is holding a knife in front of his son? It’s not like he’s waving it around in front of his face.

Taylor: No, no. But brooke only sees her own made up version of thomas.

Steffy: Partly because it benefits her daughter. We all know that hope wants full control over douglas, and brooke is just stirring the pot.

Taylor: Thomas has worked so hard to redeem himself, to rebuild his life. And brooke refuses to give him credit.

Steffy: She doesn’t give thomas a fair chance.

Taylor: You know, it breaks my heart for thomas. And also for ridge.

Steffy: But what does that say about the woman he’s married to? The more brooke condemns thomas, the closer she gets to losing dad.

Brooke: You should’ve seen the way thomas was glaring at me while holding that knife.

Liam: So– okay, wait. So, just wait. So, at first, he’s just, like, totally dismissive of you when you ask him to put the knife away, and then he proceeds to, like, taunt you with it?

Brooke: Whatever his intentions were, it was very unsettling.

Hope: Well, I’m just relieved to hear that douglas wasn’t fully aware of it.

Liam: Yeah, that we know of.

Brooke: Okay, so the knife was very concerning, but what’s even more concerning is the fact that thomas is not bringing douglas home.

Hope: Okay, well, mom, douglas has asked to spend more time with his father, so…

Brooke: Honey, he’s a kid, and he’s at a very impressionable age. And of course, he wants to spend time with his father, but unfortunately, thomas is not a healthy father figure. I mean, think of all the horrible things that he’s done.

Liam: Kinda hard to forget.

Brooke: He’s been devious, unpredictable and he may have fooled some people, but not me. I’m gonna do everything I can to keep douglas safe. Okay everyone,

Steffy: Nothing could justify brooke bashing my brother.

Taylor: No, her perception of thomas is just a byproduct of her own warped sense of reality.

Steffy: She’s always like, “how can I twist this in a way that benefits me?”

Taylor: It’s so frustrating.

Steffy: Beyond. Brooke is way off base.

Taylor: You know, she will never love anything of mine.

Steffy: Except your husband.

Taylor: That’s a good point. You know, she has always resented both of you because you’re a part of me.

Steffy: Because we’re dad’s first family. His real family. We’re like a living, breathing connection of you two, and she can’t stand it.

Taylor: But brooke shouldn’t hold that against you.

Steffy: Well, she does.

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: Even if she doesn’t realize it. Thomas, he’s completely changed. He’s so devoted to his son.

Taylor: His whole world revolves around douglas.

Steffy: He’s not even dating anyone.

Taylor: No, he doesn’T. He– he works all day. And then he goes home to eric’s just to be with his son.

Steffy: And brooke finds fault in that. She’s digging her own grave.

Taylor: She is, but– but I don’t– I don’t know if ridge will ever see it like that.

Steffy: This time, it’s different. Mark my words. If brook continues to see thomas as some screwed up loser who doesn’t know how to parent his child, that’s gonna push dad away real quick.

Douglas: Checkmate.

Ridge: What?

Douglas: Yeah.

Ridge: Really?

Douglas: Did you see that?

[ Sighing ]

Ridge: How many is that?

Douglas: Today? Three times in a row. But the running tally is grandpa–

Ridge: The great one.

Douglas: Okay, the great one, five. Douglas–

Ridge: The apprentice.

Douglas: The apprentice. Come on. Douglas, 67.

Ridge: 67? Just remember who taught you.

Douglas: Come on, you don’t have to let me win.

Ridge: I’m not letting you win.

Douglas: “There’s an art to it.” That’s what you said when you were teaching me.

Ridge: I know, well you’re an artist. Not just at this, but– your drawings are amazing. Little picasso.

Douglas: Yeah. You know, dad’s been helping me lately.

Ridge: He’s a talented man.

Douglas: Yeah, runs in the family.

Ridge: Does now. How do you like living here? With your dad and my dad?

Douglas: Yeah, it’s awesome. You know, I’m having– having such a good time.

Ridge: We all love you very much. All right, set ’em up, come on. Not losing again.

Douglas: Okay.

Ridge: 67…

Hope: Well, thank you for coming with me to get coffee. Well, of course, far be it from me to keep you from your caffeine fix. Besides, my meeting got pushed back, so. You’re stuck with me a little while longer.

Hope: I guess I’ll have to deal.

Liam: I know.

Hope: Ugh, no…

Liam: What? Do I smell?

Hope: No! My mom forgot her purse, which means she will be back soon to retrieve it, I’m sure. Speaking of, um… so, what do you make of what she had to share?

Liam: She could’ve shared nothing at all, and my position would remain the same. I think it’s time for douglas to come home.

Hope: I miss him, too, liam.

Liam: Yeah, so does beth, and we keep trying to explain it to her, and I’m sure she’s super weirded out and confused by now.

Hope: No, I know. I know, but I don’t want to force douglas if he isn’t ready yet.

Liam: Listen, okay– let me agree with you about something. If I’m a little kid, being over at eric’s is probably awesome, right? All the nooks and crannies and places to explore, I’m sure he’s having a great time, but home is home, and home is with us.

Hope: I want nothing more than to be able to walk in that room and tuck my son into bed. But at the same time, I don’t wanna be the one that impedes on all this progress that he is making with his father. You know, and I’ve been over there and I’ve seen–

Liam: Yeah, well, don’t get me started on that. I know. Listen. Bottom line, bottom line, douglas can go over there literally any time he wants with the appropriate supervision. But even now that– thomas is carrying a knife around? Like, that does not sit well with me.

Hope: Me neither.

Liam: Okay, okay. So don’t let thomas intimidate you. You have to make it clear that douglas has to return to his normal waking life, which is home with us. Like, are we– are we still on the same page about that? And now please welcome ana montoya.

Taylor: You know, brooke feels like her marriage is under fire, like she’s not the one burning it to the ground. So, she’s attacking my children.

Steffy: Dad’s not gonna put up with that much longer.

Taylor: I don’t know, steffy, come on. How many times have we said that? I know that you want your father and me back together, and you want your family whole. I do, too. But, honey, it can’t just be because of brooke’s toxic drama. It has to be because your father really wants to be with us.

Steffy: I get that.

Taylor: Okay.

Steffy: But mom, you have to have faith. His whole demeanor changes when he’s with you, when he’s around the kids. I know you see that. And it seems like dad’s a little more present these days. It’s like he’s trying to make up for all that lost time. And it seems like he’s been more caring and thoughtful, especially over these last few months.

Taylor: That’s true. You know, your father is– is so proud of you and thomas. He really is, and… oh, he loves his grandchildren so much. He’d do anything for you.

Steffy: This whole knife overreaction… implying that thomas is a risk to douglas? Are you kidding me? That’s ridiculous. That’s a new low for brooke. I see dad’s eyes opening. He wants to hang around us more. He wants to be with you, mom.

Liam: I understand that you don’t want this to turn into a giant custody battle.

Hope: It’s the last thing that any of us needs right now.

Liam: Yes, I know. Granted, that would not be ideal. But, your mom still has a point. When it comes to somebody like thomas, we have to be extra vigilant, right? You don’t just– with somebody like that, you don’t just take their word for it that suddenly, they’re a happy, healthy, well-adjusted, psychologically normal, sensible person, right? I mean, the– the kind of– of issues, of deep-seated psychological issues that thomas had or still has. I mean, that, that– that stuff takes years– years in therapy to unravel, if it can be unravelled at all. For all we know, thomas is pulling one over on all of us.

Hope: Okay. The story with the knife is disconcerting, but you also can’t deny the fact that that thomas’s overall behavior has shown improvement.

Liam: You’ve said that before. And I don’t wanna do it all again. In any case, we can’t just ignore what your mom witnessed, right? Yeah, I know douglas is having fun over there, but enough is enough. He needs to be home. He needs to be sleeping in his own bed. He needs to be sitting at the dinner table with his sister. He needs to return to his routine. Children thrive on routine, all right? It’s not like he doesn’t get to see thomas anytime he wants. All we want is for him to come home.

Brooke: Liam is right, and the only way we can guarantee douglas’s safety, is if he’s in your care. So, I am going to do everything I possibly can to get douglas back to you, liam and beth. Where he belongs.

Douglas: Got your bishop.

Ridge: No. How did– no. How did that happen?

Douglas: Great-granddad taught you how to play?

Ridge: Yeah, he did. I blame him.

Douglas: Maybe we could do a tournament tonight. You know, you, me, great-granddad, dad and maybe even donna, if she wants to.

Ridge: Donna? Yeah, I’m not– I’m not sure that donna knows how to play chess. You– you like being here, don’t you? In this house? Everyone loves having you here, and they just wanna make sure this is the most loving home you could be in. You got two homes, really, right? You got hope’s as well.

Douglas: Yeah, I really like it here.

Ridge: Good.

Douglas: Okay.

[Knocking on door]

Ridge: All right, give me one second. Hey, do not move any– any of these pieces. I know where I am.

Douglas: I’m not gonna.

Ridge: All right. Hi, can I help you?

Woman: Thomas forrester?

Ridge: Uh, no, he’s– he’s not here. Who are you?

Man: We’re from cps, child protective services.

Ridge: What?

Woman: We’re here to investigate a case regarding douglas forrester.

Thomas: Hey, how are you? Hey, dad. What– what’s going on?

Ridge: They’re from child protective services.

Thomas: Child protection services?

Ridge: They’re here about douglas.

[ Dramatic music ]

Thomas: I’m serious, brooke. Keep it up.

Brooke: That sounds like a threat.

Thomas: I promise that you will never interfere with my father’s life or family again.

[ Taylor chuckling softly ]

Taylor: I’ll never forget monaco. But, god, it confuses me. I… because I know how we feel about each other. But this feels like some– some karmic lesson. I don’t want to force anything either way. If we’re meant to be together, then we’re gonna be together.

Ridge: Is that right?

Taylor: Yeah, that is right. I think it would be smart for you to open your eyes. What you think it is you’re fighting for over there doesn’t make you happy. Is that what you want for the rest of your life?

Eric: Nikki newman in the forrester office right here in L.A.

Nikki: And I came all the way from genoa city.

Eric: Yeah, just to see me.

Nikki: Well, yes, of course, and also to find the perfect forrester original for summer.

Eric: I think you have. Oh, this is my granddaughter steffy.

Steffy: Hi, there. Lovely for me to meet you.

Eric: And hope logan.

Hope: Hi, it’s good to see you again.

Nikki: Good to see you too.

Hope: Yes.

Eric: So, here we are. You think we’re going in the right direction?

Nikki: Oh, eric. Oh, the sketches that you sent didn’t do it justice.

Eric: Good.

Nikki: I– I’m thrilled. I– I know summer will be too.

Steffy: Oh, that’s fantastic.

Hope: I’m sure she’s so excited about her vow renewal.

Nikki: I think my granddaughter is going to be even more excited that eric and ridge forrester, world-renowned fashion designers, have created a dress for her.

Eric: Well, we’re happy to do it. The newmans and the forresters go way back, don’t we?

Nikki: Mm-hmm.

Steffy: By the way, nikki, I’m so sorry my father couldn’t make it, but he does send his regards.

Nikki: And please give him mine. Haven’t seen him in ages. I wish I could catch up with him on this trip, but I’m so scheduled. Oh, my goodness, it is hard to believe that ridge forrester is a grandfather.

[ Eric laughing ] Of course, we all tend to think of ourselves as still 25. I know I do.

Eric: Yes, and so do I.

Steffy: Well, he’s definitely a– a doting grandfather. Family is everything to him.

Nikki: Oh, speaking of which, I’m so glad you and your husband are all right. I read about those terrible shootings. And what you and your family must have gone through. You are all right, aren’t you?

Steffy: Yes. Yes. Despite the hell sheila carter put us through.

[ Tv playing ]

Sheila: What are you doing? I’m trying to watch my stories.

Deacon: I’m pacing.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Sheila: I can see that, but can you stop? Because you’re making me dizzy just watching you.

Deacon: Deal with it.

[ Tv shuts off ]

Sheila: What’s wrong?

Deacon: There’s– there’s nothing wrong, not with me. It’s the situation.

Sheila: What– what situation?

Deacon: You and me living here. Sheila, I don’t know how much longer this can continue.

Nikki: Sheila hurt so many people. In genoa city. In L.A. She was such an evil, destructive force.

Eric: “Was” being the operative word. She’s dead now. She can’t cause anyone else any harm.

Steffy: Thankfully. Though there’s not a day that goes by where I don’t thank god for finn or my family knowing that we were so close to losing him.

Nikki: I would like to meet finn sometime. He sounds like a remarkable man.

Steffy: He is. He’s really remarkable. Remarkable husband, father. He’s loving. He’s really compassionate.

Hope: And he’s great with kids too. They all adore him.

Nikki: It’s hard to believe a sociopath like sheila could give birth to someone so caring given who she is.

Eric: Was.

Nikki: Yes, was.

Eric: Yeah.

Nikki: Past tense.

Sheila: I… I don’t want to hear this.

Deacon: You asked me what was going on. I told you.

Sheila: If you are even suggesting–

Deacon: No, no, I know, I know, sheila. This is not what you want to hear, but with you hiding out here, one screwup and we’ll wind up back in prison. You’re not doing either of us any favors with this insane delusion you have. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Your dream.

Sheila: What dream?

Deacon: Do I look like I’ve got “dumbass” tattooed on my forehead? You know damn well what I’m talking about.

[ Laughter ]

Taylor: Hi, sweetheart.

Thomas: I wasn’t expecting you.

Taylor: I know. I was just on my way into the office, so I thought I’d stop by and see how everything was going.

Thomas: Oh, you’re checking up on me now too.

Taylor: Huh?

Thomas: Uh, I’m sorry. That wasn’t meant for you.

Taylor: Hmm. Who was it meant for?

[ Thomas sighing ]

Thomas: It was brooke.

Taylor: What did she do now?

Thomas: It doesn’t matter.

Taylor: Oh, it does. What did she want?

Thomas: What does she always want? To call me crazy again.

Brooke: Oh, wow, I needed that.

Ridge: Me too.

Brooke: What are you doing here? I thought you were having a meeting with nikki newman.

Ridge: Oh, uh, no, dad’s doing that one.

Brooke: Oh, okay.

Ridge: What about you? I thought you were gonna go see ronaldo.

Brooke: Yeah. Uh, I just pushed that back a bit.

Ridge: Okay.

Brooke: I wanted to go see thomas and talk to him about douglas.

Ridge: Brooke, why do you do these things?

Brooke: Please just hear me out. I’m not doing this to upset you. You know how much I love you. I just… I’m just worried about douglas being in thomas’ care. Sweet pillows of softness!

Nikki: Eric, you are a true artist. It’s gorgeous, and summer is just gonna be a knockout. The cut, the neckline. It’s just stunning.

Eric: Well, those were ridge’s ideas, but I did the– I did the length of the stitching.

Nikki: Oh, well, I love the stitching too. It’s very inspired.

Eric: Thank you.

Nikki: Thank you. Thank you, everybody. I know that you’ll be hearing the same thing from summer as well.

Steffy: Oh, it’s great. So, are you staying in L.A. For a few days, or are you gonna head back to genoa city right away?

Nikki: No, I’m heading back. I have one stop I need to make first.

Deacon: Sheila, please tell me that I’m finally getting through to you, that you’re really hearing me, that you understand that this– this crazy fantasy you have about reuniting with finn and hayes, it just can’t happen.

Sheila: I’m a mother and a grandmother, and no one is going to take that away from me, and you certainly are not taking that away from me.

Deacon: I– I know, and we’ll talk about it tonight, but I’ve got to get to work.

Sheila: Oh, yeah, if I need you, that– that’s right. You want– you do– you do that. You– you go to work, and you see people, and you see your daughter, and I’m– I’m just gonna keep staring at these same boring four walls that i have been looking at ever since I got here while my son and my grandson… forget it.

Deacon: Come on, sheila.

Sheila: What? I said forget it.

Deacon: How the hell did this become like a real marriage?

Taylor: So, brooke went after you because steffy wouldn’t let her talk to your father the other night?

Thomas: Yeah, and because I probably didn’t yell from across the room and be like, “hey, by the way, dad, brooke’s on the phone.”

Taylor: Wait, you knew about it? You were in on it? Honey, you’re just giving brooke reasons to attack you.

Thomas: I understand, but honestly, I think that brooke was just trying to tell me how little she thought of me, and she accused me of not being fit to be douglas’ parent.

Taylor: Wow, like she’s one to talk with her own parental track record.

Thomas: Yeah, I mean, I think it was the knife that’s kind of what set her off.

Taylor: A– a– a knife?

Thomas: Yeah, I was– I was peeling an apple with a knife. You know how you always do before you eat it?

Taylor: Yeah.

Thomas: Yeah, and I think that just triggered her, and, um, yeah, she accused me of being a danger to my own son. I mean, how insane is that?

Brooke: Look, I don’t like to feel this way about thomas. I don’T. I know he’s your son.

Ridge: Are you still concerned that he’s gonna do something?

Brooke: Yes, I am. And– and I’m also concerned that he hasn’t brought him back home.

Ridge: Back home? He had– thomas and hope share custody, and right now it’s thomas’ turn to spend some time with his son because he hasn’T. And he’s gonna be fine. He’s gonna be safe. What do you– what is that? What is that look? What do you know? Tell me.

Brooke: He had a knife. A knife around douglas. I mean, that worries me, ridge. Thomas scares me.

[ Sneezing ] Are you okay? to see nikki.

Hope: Yeah, she has a really good energy about her. Never mind. I’m just glad she liked the dress.

Steffy: Yeah, okay, well, since we have nothing else to really talk about, I’m gonna return some calls.

Hope: Actually, I would like to address the fact– actually, revisit the fact that you hung up on my mom and refused to let her speak to her husband.

Steffy: You’re not over that? I thought we moved on from this.

Hope: Uh, no, I– I wouldn’t say we have, especially given how it is affecting the families. I mean, look how divided we’ve become.

Steffy: I wouldn’t necessarily say that.

Hope: Really?

Steffy: No.

Hope: I’m currently trying to not, uh, have to start a custody war over douglas, and meanwhile you and taylor and thomas are trying to lure ridge away from my mom, so…

Steffy: Yeah, well, the clock’s ticking. My mom feels it. Thomas feels it. Sooner rather than later, brooke’s gonna do something, and my father’s not gonna be able to forgive her, and then my mother and my father, they’ll eventually find their way back to each other.

Hope: And isn’t that what you wanted all along, for my mother’s marriage to fail? It’s okay, you can stop pretending.

Steffy: I never pretended brooke was the woman I wanted for my dad. She is the last person I want for my father. I admit I tried not to interfere when my mom wasn’t here, but she’s back now. And my mother and my father, they’re reconnecting in such a beautiful way. So, yeah, I am rooting for my parents to get back together. And I’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen, hope.

Taylor: Who doesn’t peel an apple with a knife? It– it’s not like you left douglas alone with it or handed it to him and said, “hey, let’s play catch.”

Thomas: I know that, you know that, but brooke, she likes to put her own spin on things.

Taylor: You would never let anything happen to douglas. Brooke is just trying to make a fake fight like she always does.

Thomas: Well, that’s what she loves to do. She loves to paint me in the worst light possible. And why? Because she thinks I’m a terrible person. She– she can’t ever bring herself to believe that maybe I’ve changed.

Taylor: But you know that you have, and we know that you have. You put in so much work to turn your life around.

Thomas: Not according to brooke. Look, I made mistakes, and I’ve done things that I’m not proud of, but I think I’ve moved past that. And– and I made sure to tell brooke that if I am so messed up, it is her fault. Because she came in and she hurt you. She hurt dad, ripping him away from the family that he loves so much, and I’m not going to let that ever happen again. I will protect you and our family from her at all costs.

Brooke: I hate admitting it, ridge. I– I know how much you believe in thomas.

Ridge: But you don’T.

Brooke: I wish I could, for your sake, but I just don’t feel like douglas is safe around him.

Ridge: Come on, because of a knife? Really?

Brooke: Yes, because of a knife. That was very dangerous. And also the fact that he won’t bring douglas home to his mom, to hope. And also his troubled history. I mean, I will protect douglas no matter what. I would call child protective services on thomas if I had to.

Ridge: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Brooke: Yes, I would.

Ridge: Hang on one second. I know you’re upset, but this is my son you’re talking about. No one’s calling anybody. We’re gonna handle this as a family, and if you’re concerned about some knife, then I’ll go get it and get rid of it. I told you I would intervene if there was ever a problem, if i ever felt that– that– that– douglas was in danger. He’s my flesh and blood. I love that little kid, and so does thomas. There’s nothing to worry about.

Brooke: I want to believe you.

Ridge: Well, then do. Believe me. The kid is happy, and he’s safe. Okay?

[ Brooke sighing ] Ridge: Okay. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

Deacon: Enjoy.

Woman: Thank you.

Nikki: Let’s make this short and sweet.

Deacon: You came.

Nikki: You said you might have something that would help me with diane jenkins.

Deacon: What are you talking about? I’m kidding. I’ll be right back. I hope this does the trick.

Nikki: Me too. Thanks.

Deacon: Nikki, if there’s anything else I can do, just let me know, okay? I want you to know that, uh, you’re a class act. You always have been. You always will be. And I care about you, and I respect you a lot. And, nik, you do look good.

Taylor: Oh, I’m so glad you came by. It’s perfect timing. I’m– I’m in between clients.

Steffy: You seem a little agitated.

Taylor: I am agitated. I am. Um…

Steffy: What’s– what’s wrong?

Taylor: I talked to thomas. You’ll never believe what brooke is saying about your brother.

Steffy: Oh, no.

Ridge: I’m not sure we need the belt. What do you think? Thomas?

Thomas: Sorry. What?

Ridge: What’s going on?

[ Thomas clearing his throat ]

Thomas: You know what? I– I just got a lot on my mind.

Ridge: Stuff with brooke, you mean.

Thomas: Yeah. I’m guessing she talked to you about it.

Ridge: What happened?

[ Thomas sighing ] She’s– she’s never gonna believe me. Dad, she doesn’t believe that I’m a changed person at all. I mean, she saw me eating an apple with a knife, and she freaked out.

Ridge: She mentioned the knife, yes. Brooke’s concerned, and she, um, she said she’d, um–

Thomas: She said she’d what?

Ridge: She said she would call child services on you if she had to.

Thomas: What?

Hope: Mom, what is really going on?

Brooke: Honey, I know you want to believe that thomas has put all of his ugliness in the past and that he’s learned from his mistakes and he’s a better man, he’s a better father, but he’s not. I saw. I was there.

Hope: So, what did you see?

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: I went over to eric’s to tell thomas to please send douglas home.

Hope: Mom–

Brooke: Look, I know you don’t want me involved in this and you want to take care of it all yourself, but, honey, I am worried. I think that thomas is dangerous. He had a knife.

Hope: What?

Brooke: Yes. He had a very sharp knife. Douglas isn’t safe with thomas. He shouldn’t be in his care. I’m really worried about that little boy.

Taylor: Oh, my timing is off.

Steffy: Oh, mom.

Taylor: I get you when you guys are in the middle of kissing. And this time you’re breaking apart. So,

Steffy: No, no– I– ha. Ha. You’re so funny.

Finn: I have to say, it is probably hard not to… interrupt us kissing.

Taylor: I know the struggle is real. I see it. And it makes me so happy for both of you.

Steffy: I think I know what would make you happier. If, like, dad were here with you, especially in this cute number. It’s really amazing. Why is it, like, too early to parent trap?

Taylor: You know, speaking of parent trapping. Brooke came by very heated and told me what you did. Steffy, I know– I know that you have the best intentions. But hey, please don’t ever do anything shady like that again.

Steffy: Shady? Me? I did dad a favor. I saved him from being summoned back to brooke’s house. You know he’d rather be here, mom.

Thomas: Bowling? That’s what you want to do this week? Because I’m always throwing gutter balls. No. What? Ah, there it is.

Douglas: Just like you say, you just got to keep practicing, dad.

Thomas: You want the apple, huh?

Douglas: I want the apple.

Thomas: Here you go. Now, here you go. Take it. Take it.

Douglas: Oh, grandma.

Brooke: Douglas. Oh, so good to see you. Couldn’t you use something a little safer?

Thomas: I’ve been cutting apples like this my whole life, brooke. It’s all right.

Brooke: Well, I’m sure eric has something in the kitchen.

Thomas: Hey, you know what? No big deal. Anyway, what’s going on?

Brooke: Well, I wanted to stop by and see douglas. I understand that you’ve been letting hope come by an awful lot.

Thomas: She’s always welcome here.

Brooke: Mm hmm. Yeah. Well, I haven’t seen my grandson in a long time.

Douglas: Hey, you want to come bowling with us on the weekend?

Thomas: Hey, you know what? I think that brooke is probably always busy. She’s got a slam packed schedule, so. Ah, you know what? Why don’t you go out and see donna? She said she’d look after you while I was at work.

Douglas: Um, good seeing you, grandma.

Brooke: Good seeing you, honey. See you soon, okay?

Douglas: Yeah.

Thomas: Have fun. Apple?

Brooke: No, thanks.

Thomas: Okay.

Brooke: We need to talk.

Thomas: What about? You know what? I’ve been cutting apples like that my entire life, so.

Brooke: Oh, no, no, not that. We need to talk about douglas coming home.

Thomas: Douglas is already home, brooke.

Brooke: He hasn’t been at his other home for a very long time. A home where he feels safe. And hope certainly doesn’t play with knives.

Thomas: Will you let that go?

Brooke: No, I won’T. Not if you expect him to be here with you.

Thomas: Okay, fine. I will use a peeler next time.

Brooke: Look, don’t make fun, okay? Because I will always watch out for douglas. I will always protect him.

Thomas: That’s not your job, brooke. I can protect my son. Now, if that’s all.

Brooke: No, that’s not all. Hope told me that you knew what steffy did the other night, intercepting my phone call to ridge.

Thomas: I was there. Yeah.

Brooke: Yeah. Well, that’s enough. No more attack on my marriage. By you, your mother, steffy. Just stay out of it. None of you can sabotage my relationship with ridge.

[ Taylor exasperated sigh ]

Taylor: If it’s meant to be, it will happen.

Steffy: Look how things are turning around for our family. The next logical move is dad finally coming to his senses and getting back with you.

Taylor: Well, I don’t know how logical it is. But just to shut you up, I’m going to say, “I’ll buy it.”

Steffy: Good. Great.

Ridge: What are you buying? Don’t buy anything. Whatever it is, don’t buy fuzzy bears. Because I tried that once, and I don’t want to compete with you.

Taylor: Oh, god. I don’t know if I can compete with such fuzzy cuteness. And the bears are cute, too, huh?

Steffy: They’re adorable, dad.

Finn: Kelly is going to flip out, in a good way.

Ridge: Where are the kids?

Steffy: Out with amelia. But if you wait around, you could give it to them. We could do another, like, family dinner.

Ridge: Yeah, we could do that. Let me just check with brooke. Yeah, you know, but my phone doesn’t seem to work here.

Steffy: Oh, she told you about that?

Ridge: You knew she was going to tell me about it.

Steffy: Yeah. I just felt it was like the right moment for all of us to be together. I hope you’re not mad.

Ridge: No. If you want to be my secretary, you can go ahead and answer my phone. But if you don’t, then please let me do it.

Steffy: I get it. I completely get it. I thought it was just a really nice, you know, dinner we were having. And we were all laughing and really enjoying each other’s company. And you two were, like reconnecting. I hope we have more nights like that. I really do. Life… doesn’t stop for diabetes.

Thomas: Okay. Look, brooke. You are kind of like spiraling right now, so you need to ease up on the dramatics. There’s no reason to overreact about a phone call.

Brooke: It was completely inappropriate for steffy to interfere.

Thomas: Was there some sort of emergency? A real reason for interrupting our entire family?

Brooke: No. I don’t need an emergency to talk to my own husband.& I was planning a very special evening for us.

Thomas: Oh, special evening. It have to do with a red teddy and some giggling. You know what? He has seen that so many times, it’s probably just boring.

Brooke: Doesn’t matter what I had planned. The fact is, steffy shouldn’t have intercepted my phone call to my husband.

Thomas: Okay. Maybe. I mean… is that really the reason why you’re hounding me about this?

Brooke: No. I don’t want to argue with you, thomas. I don’T. I just want you to respect my marriage with your father. And it’s time for douglas to come home. He needs to get back into his routine.

Thomas: He has a routine, right here.

Brooke: Well, this is like an extended sleepover, and it needs to end. He has to come home.

Thomas: Says who? You? Look, this is between hope and me. So, stay out of it. I know that it’s going to be really, really, really hard for you. But please, stay out of our lives.

Ridge: I enjoyed the other night and we’ll do it again. If it doesn’t happen tonight, we’ll find some other time. I promise.

Steffy: And I promise not to confiscate any phones.

Ridge: Good. What was I doing when you were talking to brooke anyway? Where was I?

Steffy: You and finn– I think you guys were having like a– I don’t know. Some kind of, like dad competition. Dad joke competition.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: You guys were laughing. And mom, you were like, groaning. That’s exactly what was happening.

Taylor: Yes, yes. And I have to say, finn won fair and square.

Finn: Thank you.

Ridge: Really though?

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Come on.

Taylor: Yes, he did. The bubbles joke? Come on.

Ridge: All right. All right.

Steffy: Do you see them looking at each other?

Finn: Same as when you were young.

Steffy: Exactly.

Ridge: What look is that?

Steffy: As if there’s nowhere else you’d rather be. This is exactly what thomas and I wanted. Our family together. The forresters winning. And it really does feel like we are winning. Thomas is having real time with douglas. My husband is back, and that is such a miracle. And you two are getting closer. We’ve had so much time apart. I just feel this genuine connection. This feeling right now. We could feel it every single day. I can’t help but repeat myself because I see it. You two belong together. Dad just come home. Go back to mom. I’m jonathan lawson

Brooke: So, you expect me to sit back and say nothing about what you’re doing to my daughter and my grandson? No.

Thomas: What am I doing besides stepping up and providing a good, solid home for my son?

Brooke: You are using him.

Thomas: How? Like, for what purpose?

Brooke: To create problems for ridge and me.

Thomas: Okay. This– this may be really hard for you to understand, brooke. But me stepping up and being a great father to my son, reconnecting with him, it’s not about you.

Brooke: Okay, wait. So, you think you’re the influence that douglas needs? I mean, thomas, are you going to just pretend you haven’t had issues in the past?

Thomas: Yeah, you know what? I have had issues. I have. And I think I’ve worked through them. But if I had tons of issues, you might want to look in the mirror to see where they came from.

Brooke: Oh, wow. So now you’re blaming me for all the terrible things that you’ve done.

Thomas: You talk about influence on a child. I think about you and how you were always lurking around my entire family and what you did, hurting my grandmother and my mother. This oversexed, gold digger just bulldozing her way through my entire family. My father, my grandfather, my uncle. And you know what? I heard– I heard about the things that you said behind my back. I know what you said. You think that doesn’t affect a child? It does.

Brooke: Okay. So, me stepping in as your stepmother, when your mom was gone, that gives you reason for all those bad mistakes and decisions you made your entire life. No, I don’t think so.

Thomas: This is just classic you. Not taking any responsibility. Of course, you wouldn’t take responsibility. You know, that doesn’t really matter to me, because steffy and I, we’re moving past this whole thing.

Brooke: Oh. Well, that is a relief.

Thomas: We’re putting it behind us because the forrester’s are finally rising up. Yes, brooke, I am talking about my mother and father. Their time together has finally come.

Ridge: You want the family back together? I know. I know how much that would mean to you.

Steffy: You know what it would mean to you? The difference it would make for you and for mom?

Ridge: Are you– I see your mother and I– and I see your husband. And these are two people who have dedicated their lives to helping others. And– and– I mean, that’s a choice, right? That’s a choice you make in your life. And I look at my choices and my life. Honestly… I– as long as I can remember, I’ve been selfish. Everything I did still is selfish.

Taylor: Ridge, you don’t– you don’t need to apologize.

Ridge: I’m not. I don’t– I don’t know– I don’t know if– um, I wish thomas was here right now because I have to say this. I have to say to you and I almost have to say it so I can hear it. I’ve made bad choices all my life. And they’ve affected my kids, especially when they were younger. And now… I’m standing in your house and I look at this guy. This amazing person, your husband. Doesn’t mean he’s amazing because he saves people. Yes, that’s part of it. But the amazing thing is you come home.

[ Ridge exhaling ] Oh. You– you take care of your family. And your kids are going to grow up knowing what a father and what a husband should look like, and that’s important.

Finn: Thanks, ridge. That means a lot. And you’re right. I will always come home to steffy and the kids.

Ridge: I know. That’s my point. That’s what I’m saying. Of course, you’ll come home because you’re going to take care of these guys. You are going to take care of your family. I mean, you’re not going to be sidetracked by some– you’re not going to be– you’re the– the father, the husband that I should have been.

Steffy: Dad, you did the best you could.

Ridge: The best I could, steffy. That doesn’t compare to what you deserve. Both of you. I’m sorry. Hi, I’m karen.

Taylor: You know, it’s a shame steffy and finn had to go to work.

Ridge: You know, I think steffy made up that meeting so we could be alone.

Taylor: You think?

Ridge: I meant what I said earlier about bad choices. I could have been a better dad. Definitely could have been a better husband.

Taylor: Well, hindsight really is 20/20, isn’t it? It never does any good to hold on to feelings of guilt and shame about the past. I mean, we all do it but–

Ridge: Yeah. What I do know is that when you came back all those years ago, that was it. That was our time to be together as a family. The five of us. It’s what thomas wanted. Steffy. Phoebe. But I couldn’t give it to them. I had to walk away from them. I turned my back on you and a beautiful family.

Taylor: But, it’s all being healed now.

Ridge: Really?

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, because– because time heals all– most wounds.

Ridge: Huh.

Taylor: Listen. You know, of course our marriage breaking up left an imprint on our children. Of course, it did. Ridge, they were so young, and they didn’t even have the emotional capacity to process what was happening. So, they– they learned to cope. Steffy– steffy became the strong one. She doesn’t want anyone to do anything for her because she doesn’t want to risk being let down. And phoebe, all she wanted was love and family. And thomas. Thomas was the sensitive one, for sure. And he’s the one who got lost. It affected him the most.

Ridge: Because of me.

Taylor: No, ridge.

Ridge: Yes, because of me.

Taylor: Because of all the confusion. So much confusion. That the past is just a trail we leave behind. It doesn’t– just tells us where we’ve been. It doesn’t tell us where we’re going. That’s what now is for, right now. And yeah, we can– we can– we can imagine the future wisely. We can– we can see what it is that we want to create, what we desire, what makes us feel good. How we want to love. And be loved back. Kind of like right now. Right now.

Brooke: Even if you’re right and you’re not. But let’s just say that ridge and taylor do get together. It’s not like I’m going to be out of your life for good. I have forrester children.

Thomas: You’re right. And you did your best to ruin their lives, too. I mean, gosh, I only had to spend like part time with you. But them, it was like full time. Rick, rj, bridget. I mean, it’s kind of interesting actually, because all of them decided to leave los angeles, almost like they’re getting away from you.

Brooke: How dare you?

Thomas: It was hope though. She’s the only one who keeps justifying all the things that you have done. But you know what? I feel for her. Because she actually had to spend her entire childhood with you.

Brooke: Yeah. Well, then how did she turn out to be such a good person and somebody that you could trust with your child?

Thomas: Dumb luck, recessive gene kicking in, who knows?

Brooke: It’s really not fair that you would blame me for all of your bad behavior.

Thomas: I just wonder what it would have been like if I had the chance, the opportunity to grow up without you as a mother.

Brooke: So, because of my influence, you turned into the kind of person that would lie about a baby being dead or think that kidnapping is a courtship. And I’m not even going to mention the mannequin. To think about what you put my daughter through. And you really wonder why I’m so worried that douglas is here alone with you.

Thomas: Worry all you want, brooke. I don’t really care what you think. And soon my dad won’t either.

Brooke: No, that’s not true.

Thomas: You know, my mother is a thousand times the woman that you are. And her and my father, they are getting closer because they’re meant to be. I mean, that kiss in monaco. That was meant to happen. A day is coming and soon will be, when your reign and your grip over my father and my family ends. Mark my words, brooke, they will end.
