Steffy: Babe, how are you doing with all of this?

Finn: I’m– I’m all right.

Steffy: Mm-hm.

Finn: It’s a lot to process, knowing that sheila’s alive, but I’m going to do whatever it takes to protect the people I love.

Steffy: I know.

Finn: Sheila won’t be free much longer. She made a big mistake. She should’ve stayed undercover or left town immediately after escaping prison.

Hope: Oh, sorry to interrupt. Um. Did you ever hear what happened with our parents or?

Steffy: No. I’m guessing you haven’t either?

Hope: Nothing.

Steffy: I’m dying to know what’s going on.

Hope: I feel the same.

Taylor: I can’t believe we did this.

Brooke: I can’t believe we did it. Oh, and the look on ridge’s face? Oh, gosh. He couldn’t believe we did it either.

Taylor: Wow.

[ Brooke sighing ] Yeah.

Brooke: Are you sorry?

Taylor: I am.

Brooke: You are?

Taylor: That we didn’t do this 30 years ago.

[ Both laughing ]

Brooke: And what better way to celebrate than with this cake.

Taylor: Oh, my gosh. Here, let me help you.

Brooke: This gorgeous cake.

Taylor: Look at it. It’s so pretty. After all these years, we finally did it.

Brooke: We did.

Taylor: Mm-hm.

Brooke: We kissed ridge goodbye. And that’s a kiss we can agree on.

Taylor: Yes.

Bill: Why’re you looking at me like that?

Liam: Nothing. Uh, it’s just a little weird to see you primping. Is that a diffuser?

Bill: Yeah, sure is. Smells nice, right? I’m doing this for katie, liam, all right? She loves this stuff. I want her to feel totally comfortable when she comes over and ideally, she’s gonna stay for the rest of her life.

Liam: Are you expecting katie?

Bill: She agreed to come by for a talk. And I’m hopeful that this is finally the night that I convince my katie to come home.

[ Carter groaning ]

Carter: Today turned out to be a longer day than I expected.

[ Carter and katie laughing ] But I’m not complaining. I got to spend more time with you.

Katie: I was just thinking the same thing.

Carter: Let’s keep it going. Have dinner with me.

Katie: I would love to, but bill called and I agreed to see him.

Liam: Uh, I’m kinda surprised katie agreed to come over.

Bill: Yeah, well, that’s why I’m encouraged. I mean, she could’ve just blow me off, but instead she agreed to come. I’m taking that as a positive sign.

Liam: Yeah. I don’t know.

Bill: I do. After tonight, things are gonna be very different for katie and me.

Carter: So, you’re going to see bill.

Katie: Yeah.

Carter: I have to admit that I’m quite surprised, katie. You know what he wants. He’s gonna pressure you to take him back. Why put yourself through that again?

Katie: He just doesn’t seem like himself. I’m worried about him.

Steffy: Charlie said that my dad was with both of our moms. That has to mean that he’s made a decision.

Hope: Okay, but where is everybody and why haven’t we heard from anyone?

Steffy: I don’t know. This is so weird.

Charlie: Hi. Um, sorry to interrupt. I just wanted everybody to know that there is zero chance of sheila carter breaching this building. Why? Because I have my top security on this and I have eyes in the back of my head. See?

Steffy: Ch– charlie, what exactly happened?

Hope: Yeah, did ridge leave here with my mom?

Steffy: Or mine?

Brooke: Oh, this is sparkling water for you, my darling.

Taylor: Ooh, the hard stuff.

Brooke: Did you ever imagine in a million years that you and I could get to this moment at the same time?

Taylor: Never in a million years. I can’t believe this. I mean, after– after all this time, and– and ridge just waffling back between me and you and– it just became a way of life.

Brooke: I know. It’s horrible. It went on so long that we came to accept it. You and I, we took our power back and it feels incredible.

[ Both laughing ]

Taylor: Yes, it does. It is incredible. Cheers.

Brooke: Cheers.

Taylor: You know, I never wanted to be your enemy, brooke.

[ Taylor laughing ] I’m steve.

Steffy: Well, tell us charlie. Did my father leave with my mother?

Hope: Or mine?

Charlie: Y– you know I– I– I may have exaggerated just a little bit about having eyes in the back of my head. I really don’T. So, I don’t know which of the lovely ladies ridge left with.

Steffy: Why not?

Charlie: Because I didn’t see brooke or taylor or ridge leave the building. But, I do have camera footage, if you’d like to see it.

Hope: No, I– I don’t really think that’s necessary, right?

Steffy: Maybe we should text them?

Hope: Yes.

Steffy: Good idea. Let’s do that.

Hope: Yup.

Steffy: All right.

Hope: My mom is at home.

Finn: What’s going on?

Steffy: Whoa, this is so weird.

Finn: What?

Hope: What?

Steffy: My mom’s at brooke’s too.

Hope: This can’t be good.

Steffy: No.

Hope: We should get over there.

Steffy: We should go.

Hope: Yeah.

Steffy: Let’s go. Together?

Hope: Now.

Steffy: Yup. Thanks, charlie.

Charlie: Glad I could help.

Steffy: Yeah.

Carter: So, what’s got you so worried about bill all of a sudden?

Katie: He just doesn’t sound like himself.

Carter: And it’s on you to fix him?

Katie: No, no. I– I’ve been through every bill mood there is, you know. The highs, the lows, the in-betweens. I just– I’ve just never heard him sound so… vulnerable.

Bill: I’m telling you, liam. Katie and I are on the brink of a new beginning. I’m not saying I don’t have a lot of damage control ahead of me, but I’m willing to do whatever it takes and I think katie realizes that. I just want her to give me another chance.

Taylor: You know, I never wanted to be your life long enemy, brooke. ‘Cause you know why? You’re a bad ass. You.

Brooke: Me?

Taylor: Yes, you. You are. You’re– you’re so creative. You left a mark on the fashion industry, which is huge, and you’re really smart. And the hottest chemist I have ever seen.

Brooke: Oh.

Taylor: You know the best part though? You love your family. You’re a good mom. I could see how ridge was swept away.

Brooke: Well, don’t underestimate yourself, taylor. I have respect for you too. What you’ve chosen to do with your life. How you get up every single morning determined to help people who are struggling. You are a healer and that is incredible.

Taylor: You know, this is the nicest we have ever been to each other.

Brooke: We haven’t had many chances to be nice.

Taylor: Because we’ve been fighting over a stupid man.

Brooke: I mean why? We’re parents. We’re grandparents.

Taylor: Oh, god. How did we do this? How did we let this go on for so long?

Brooke: This is our opportunity to show the world that we can be strong and capable on our own.

Taylor: And that women should never bash each other, especially for a man. We should lift each other up.

Brooke: Exactly.

Brooke and taylor: Yes.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Let’s eat cake.

Taylor: Yes! Let’s eat cake.

Brooke: Let’s do it!

Taylor: Can we use your mail opener to cut it?

Brooke: Oh, sure. Of course.

Taylor: You know what? I– I– I want us to make a vow to each other, right here, right now, okay? We will never fight over ridge again.

Brooke: Vow taken.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Taylor: I mean, look, I know that we both played our parts in all of this, but god, the way that ridge just like ate up the attention from both of us for so long.

Brooke: I know! And that was wrong, what he did. He left me, he went to you, he didn’t tell me why, he didn’t tell you why.

Taylor: No. No, and then he asked me to marry him and he basically left me at the altar again! Hm.

Brooke: I’m sorry you had to go through that.

Taylor: Yeah. And I’m sorry that you had to go to through everything you went through too and… you know what I have to say about it all?

Brooke: What?

Taylor: Let’s eat cake.

[ Both laughing ]

Brooke: Yes! Let’s do it!

Taylor: Okay, this looks really good. Okay. All right. You just– you took the big piece.

Hope: Mom, no, no! Put it down.

Steffy: Put the cake down. Not this again.

Brooke: No, no.

Taylor: It’s not–

Brooke: We are celebrating.

Taylor: It’s not what it looks like. Yes, we are.

Hope: Celebrating?

Steffy: The two of you?

Taylor: Mm-hm.

Hope: I– I– I don’t understand.

Steffy: Wait. Weren’t you guys with dad? What happened?

Hope: Did he make his choice?

Brooke: He didn’t choose.

Brooke and taylor: We did.

Taylor: Yes.

Brooke and taylor: Cheers.

Taylor: This is so good. This cough.

[Sfx: Coughs]

Liam: I do miss the old spencer family gatherings. You and katie, me and wyatt, will.

Bill: Yeah. Had some good times here, didn’t we? And the good news is they’re not over, just on pause. After tonight, we’re gonna put those spencer family gatherings right back on the calendar.

Liam: Yeah, yeah, yeah and I– and I know that’s what you want. It’s just, uh, general reminder, katie’s gotta want it too.

Bill: She will. And to that end, not to rush you out of here.

Liam: Right, okay, yeah. Yeah. Hey, dad.

Bill: Yeah.

Liam: Good luck.

Bill: Thanks, liam.

Liam: Really wish I could walk out of here without worrying about you.

Bill: There’s nothing to worry about.

Liam: Yeah, well that sword necklace says otherwise.

Bill: That’s just for protection, which I won’t need once my katie comes back to me.

Carter: Is there any chance bill might be playing on your sympathy?

Katie: Oh, there’s always that chance, but then again, maybe he’s not and something bad is happening or it’s about to happen.

Carter: You and bill aren’t together anymore. It’s not your job to monitor his emotional well-being.

Katie: You’re right. You’re absolutely right, but he is will’s father and that means that whatever he does affects will and I have to pay attention to that.

Carter: You’re right, you’re right.

Katie: I have to go. But I am going to take you up on that dinner another time.

Carter: Count on it.

Hope: What? What is happening? What is happening?

Steffy: I don’t know. Clearly, we missed something.

Brooke: It’s simple, really.

Taylor: Yeah, it really is. We– we– we have been– should’ve done this a long time ago.

Brooke: We had to be ready.

Taylor: And strong enough.

Hope: For what exactly?

Brooke: Reclaiming our lives.

Taylor: Choosing ourselves.

Brooke: Controlling our destiny.

Taylor: Oh, you said the “d” word.

Brooke: Oh, I didn’t say the “d” word.

Taylor: You did. You just said– don’t say it anymore.

Steffy: What are you– what are you saying? I’m so confused right now.

Taylor: Um, just that the competition is over. Yeah.

Brooke: Look, it comes down to this. If ridge is in our lives, that’s great, but if he’s not, that’s fine too. We don’t need ridge to be happy.

Taylor: No, no. We don’T. We don’t need ridge to be happy. We don’T. We don’t need ridge to be happy.

Brooke: I know!

Taylor: Oh, my god. Why didn’t we do this before? We didn’t we figure this out?

Brooke: It’s so true. It’s so true.

Bill: Wow. You look stunning.

Katie: Well, you’ve seen this dress a million times, but thank you.

Bill: It’s not about that. It’s about what’s in it. Thank you for coming, katie.

Katie: Honestly, I’M… I’m concerned about you.

Bill: Well, hey. I’ll take what I can get.

Katie: Seriously, bill. You– you don’t seem like yourself.

Bill: That’s because I’m not. I’m never myself when we’re apart. Don’t do that, katie. Please don’t– don’t guard against me.

Katie: We’ve– we’ve been over this over and over again.

Bill: I know, I know. I– I– I know that, but you– see, you have to understand that I’ve been… I’ve been learning something new everyday about myself, about my feelings for you. I hurt you. I know that. And I regret it so very, very much. All you ever did was love me and support me and I repaid that, fool that I am, by hurting you in the worst possible way.

Katie: She’s my sister, bill.

Bill: Yes, I– I– I know that. I just– I just allow myself to get obsessed with brooke.

Katie: You said she was the great love of your life.

Bill: That’s not true. I didn’t mean that. I wish I could take those words back. You and I share a son and I love you and will more than words could possibly express and I miss us. I miss our beautiful family. I miss the life that we should be sharing.

Katie: The life we would be sharing if you hadn’t thrown it away. And I will never understand why. I will never understand why– how you could be so reckless with everything that we built together.

Bill: Maybe I didn’t feel like I deserved it. Maybe I– I– I don’t deserve– I– I– don’t know, katie. I get… I get in this bad, uh, head space and, uh, I make– I make poor decisions. I make poor decisions personally and professionally. I’m begging you, please. I just need to hear from you that there’s a chance. A chance for your forgiveness. A chance to reunite our family, just a chance to rebuild your faith and trust in me because I swear, I swear I will never let you down again. Just tell me that you will come back to me.

Steffy: Okay, so that’s it. Dad’s not coming back to you?

Hope: Or to you?

Taylor: Look, I know how much you wanted your father and me back together.

Steffy: I wanted it because I thought you wanted it. I mean, your happiness is my motivation.

Hope: I– I just wanted the same happiness for you too.

Brooke: Well, here’s the thing. Taylor and I finally realized that true happiness comes from within. We are all in charge of our own inner peace.

Taylor: Yes.

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. This is… this is amazing.

Hope: I never thought I would see this day. I mean, uh–

Steffy and hope: Mom, I’m so proud of you.

Taylor: Yay.

Brooke: Oh, sweetie.

Steffy: Now, serious moment. Um, that celebratory cake over there?

Hope: Yeah, I think we might want a piece of that.

Steffy: Yeah.

Brooke: Before we dig into it, can you please get some plates and forks from the kitchen?

Hope: Yes.

Steffy: I can do that. Yeah.

Taylor: Thanks. Oh, my gosh. Did you see that? Did you see how happy they are? And how proud they are? This feels so good.

Brooke: They are. It does, it feels so good.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: And I have you to thank for it, my friend. My friend, taylor.

Taylor: My friend, brooke.

[ Both laughing ]

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Brooke: It’s really incredible.

Taylor: It really is.

Ridge: So, I’m surprised to see both of you here.

Brooke: Why not welcome you back from your trip?

Taylor: Yeah. It went well?

Ridge: Did– did it go well? I wasn’t– I wasn’t on holiday. It was– I was, um… I spent time soul searching, if that’s what they call it.

Brooke: Glad to hear it.

Taylor: Yeah, me too.

Ridge: Okay. I got a text.

Taylor: Yeah, we both wanted to see you.

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: And that’s understandable. I– I could only imagine what you guys have been going through and now, I just– for my part in this, I apologize. I’m sorry.

Brooke: Are you?

Taylor: Are you really, ridge?

Hope: I think ridge might be coming back to los angeles to reunite with my mother.

Steffy: Wouldn’t count on it.

Hope: Well, we know ridge left to do some thinking.

Steffy: Well, the more time he considers what he wants in life, I think he’ll realize it’s my mother.

Hope: But, if he has to think that hard about it, is it really meant to be?

[ Knocking on door ]

All: Hi.

Finn: We, uh, ran into each other on the elevator.

Hope: Oh, uh, well I think it’s good you’re both here.

Liam: Yeah, why? To referee?

Steffy: No, actually. Hope and I were having a fairly civilized conversation.

Liam: Why? What happened?

Steffy: My father is coming back home.

Liam: Oh, wait. So ridge is on his way home now?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: He must have made his decision. Either he’s gonna spend his future with taylor or with brooke.

Hope: I think we all know what direction this is headed in.

Steffy: I can see it now. My parents married, living blissfully at the beach house.

Hope: I know that’s what you want to have happen, steffy.

Steffy: That’s what’s gonna happen.

Liam: Well, okay, to be fair, the only reason ridge and brooke broke up in the first place was because of thomas’ whole stupid scheme with the fix–

Steffy: I admit, what my brother did was reckless, and I do feel bad for brooke, but it doesn’t erase the bond my parents created.

Hope: Even though a big part of it is based on a lie?

Finn: No. Ridge made it very clear that the cps call had no bearing on him wanting to marry taylor.

Liam: Yeah, true, but he didn’t go through with the wedding, so.

Steffy: Okay, part of me does wish I didn’t say anything and I let my mom tell my father about thomas after the ceremony. They still would be together right now.

Ridge: Did anything happen while I was gone?

Taylor: Well, I–

Charlie: And there he is. The big cheese. The grand fromage. Welcome back to los angeles, oh, exalted one. Get the sense that my timing is a little bad here. I’ll uh, circle back later.

Taylor: Alrighty. So, um, where were we?

Brooke: Well, um, we were wondering if ridge really does feel remorseful.

Taylor: Oh, that’s right.

Ridge: I do. I’m, uh– I’m more sorry than I could say. I’m trying to explain to you–

Taylor: We are not here to listen to your explanations or your apologies, so.

Brooke: No. You are here to listen to us.

Taylor: Yeah. To actually hear us. You’ve put us through a lot.

Steffy: It’s complicated things have been ratherkies last night.

Hope: Well, at least the kids seem unaware of all the concern. They had a blast decorating cookies last night.

Steffy: Yeah, they did. Kelly’s finalizing her list for santa, singing songs. I mean, it does feel normal at times.

Finn: It’s nice considering things have been rather unpredictable lately.

Liam: That’s the understatement of the decade. Somehow, I didn’t have sheila coming back from the dead on my bingo card.

Steffy: It’s complicated enough.

Hope: Yeah. And then we had thomas faking that cps call, trying to ruin my mom’s marriage.

Liam: See, that right there, I’ve given up on trying to predict everybody’s next move.

Steffy: Same, but I do have my suspicions.

Hope: Steffy, we all know you want your parents to ride off into the sunset together.

Steffy: I do.

Hope: Okay, just… you know, ridge has let you down before. That’s all I’m saying.

Finn: To be fair, we just need to wait it out.

Liam: We all know that you both want what’s best for your mothers.

Hope: Yeah, but at this point, it’s almost a guarantee that one of our moms is going to get her heart broken.

Steffy: Well, we do know how much brooke wants this to work out in her favor. I’m predicting a meltdown.

Charlie: Hi, everybody. And what a handsome group you are too.

Liam: Hey, charlie. How’ve you been, man?

Charlie: Well, I’ve been good. I, uh, don’t mean to interrupt, but I have some breaking news that you might want to hear.

Steffy: Is– is this about the raffle prizes for pam’s bake off because we really don’t need to hear that right now.

Charlie: No, it’s about– it’s about your right hand man. You’re co-compadre?

Steffy: What?

Charlie: Your dad. He’s back.

Steffy: Charlie, I know. Yeah, he’s coming home.

Charlie: N– no, no, no. I mean he’s back, back, back. He– ridge is on the premises.

Hope: Already?

Charlie: Yeah. He’s in the office de grand fromage having a tete-a-tete-a-tete.

Hope: So, who’s he with?

Steffy and hope: My mom?

Charlie: Affirmative. And affirmative.

Steffy: What do you mean, charlie? Is my father with my mom?

Hope: Or with mine?

Charlie: Well, ridge is with taylor.

Steffy: Oh, thank god.

Charlie: And brooke.

Hope: Wait, so ridge is with both of them?

Brooke: Taylor and i have been talking.

Ridge: You’ve been talking. Well that’s– that’s good.

Taylor: Is it good? Is it?

Ridge: Yes, it’s good. I’ve always said that you– you guys should talk to each other. You have a lot in common. You have a lot of– a lot of things to talk about, see eye to eye on a few things, right? Why not?

Taylor: Yeah, well we definitely see eye to eye on a few things now.

Brooke: Yup, yup. We have a lot more in common than we even realized.

Ridge: I’ve always been saying that.

Brooke: We’re mothers and we have successful careers and we’ve been waiting for the same man most of our adult life. So, did you… process any of your thinking?

Taylor: Well, I’m thinking he did because he went away to process and gain a new perspective, you know.

Brooke: Of course. And you went away too.

Taylor: I did too. I went away also. I went away to do the same thing and I kind of wanted to stay away, you know, like I’ve done in the past, but then I realized, I want to stay in los angeles.

Ridge: I’m not sure what you guys are doing here, but um, glad you’re back. For the kids.

Taylor: For the kids. For the kids, yup. That’s what this is all about. Yeah. Speaking of our kids, I should’ve told you what thomas did before the ceremony started, I know. But man, I was– I was thrown off balance. I… I kept thinking about all of the promises that you had made me in aspen. Your commitment to me, to our kids. I just… I wanted to believe you. I did believe you. I– I… I took you at your word. But I do want you to know that uh, the time we spent together was um… magic.

Brooke: And I want you to know that, uh, you’ve always been the love of my life, and you still are.

Taylor: You know, I’ve never known you as anything but a– but a wonderful man, a loving father. My heart… yeah.

Brooke: I feel the same way every breath that I’ve taken, every heartbeat has all been for you.

Taylor: My best friend.

Brooke: My destiny. But you can’t have both of us, ridge.

Ridge: I know. And I went away because I… I know I can only be with one of you.

Taylor: No.

Brooke: You can’T.

Liam: So, the three of them are together right now? Ridge, brooke and taylor. In one room.

Hope: Mm-hm.

Liam: Cool.

Hope: Yeah. Sounds pretty intense. I wonder what they’re talking about.

Finn: Well, whatever ridge does, whomever he chooses, I hope he lets the other one down gently.

Steffy: Yeah, my father’s not gonna be a jerk about it.

Hope: But it’s not really fair it’s up to him. I mean, he’s kind of… he has their future in his hands.

Steffy: I’m sure he’s not enjoying this. He’s not going to take it lightly.

Liam: Like we had to witness brooke suffering first hand when she thought it was like, over over and I– I– I do not want to watch her go through that again.

Hope: Yeah, I don’t think she’ll be the one hurting.

Steffy: You haven’t seen my parents together. The love they have between each other, the joy.

Hope: We could say the same thing about ridge and my mom. I mean, I grew up with it. I’ve heard all the stories, you know, about how they first met, my mom catering at the forrester estate. How they locked eyes from across the room and it was love at first sight, but I do have to say, I think that love is going strong.

Brooke: As much as I adore you, ridge, when you left me in aspen–

Ridge: I left you in aspen because I thought you betrayed me, my son and my family.

Brooke: I know. You told me you thought it was my voice, but it wasn’T. It was thomas! But the thing that really gets me is that you didn’t talk to me about it. You didn’t open up, and if you did, we could’ve handled it right then and there. Instead, you ran off to aspen, I followed you there, you walked away from me, I had no idea what was going on. I thought I did something. I mean, oh, my god! Who does that? What kind of man runs to taylor, to propose to her, all the while, he’s still married to me?

Ridge: I’m sorry I hurt you.

Taylor: You hurt both of us, ridge. I didn’t know any of this. Nothing. You came chasing after me, like literally chased me. You chased me up a mountain. Because I was running away from you, and I told you to leave. But you didn’T. You stayed. You stayed me and you convinced me and you pleaded with me and you told me that this time was different. Out of all the other times, this time was different because– because you had seen the light. And you knew what you wanted and that was me. For always. And then you promised me that you would… keep my heart safe. And I bought it. I bought it! And then what happens? We get engaged. And then, what did you do at the wedding? What– what happened at the wedding?

Ridge: What did I do or what happened?

Taylor: Both.

Ridge: Steffy objected.

Taylor: Oh okay, so that’s– that’s what you’re going to say to everything I just said. Sure, steffy objected. She knew that thomas had made that cps call on himself and she also knew how important it was to not start a marriage on a lie. And here’s what I was thinking. The same thing because if what you promised me in aspen was the truth, we would’ve gotten married regardless. But we didn’T. You walked away. You left me there with my heart shattered. Again. You lied! Why? This is wrong, ridge. Everything, everything you have done is wrong! God!

Brooke: Taylor’s right. What’s the #1 retinol brand brooke

Hope: Well then, you should

Steffy: Look, I know all about brooke and my father’s romantic history. Who doesn’t?

Hope: Well then, you should understand why a bond like that isn’t easily broken.

Steffy: I’m not clueless. I know on some level that my father will always love brooke. I just don’t want her to continue to be obsessed over him. Brooke was with my father for many, many years and now, it’s time for my father to be with my mother.

Hope: So now taylor gets a turn? Steffy, this is not how this should work.

Steffy: Look. Obviously, our mothers are fighting over the same man, and that man happens to be my father. You think that brooke needs my father and I think my mom does.

Taylor: We don’t need you, ridge.

Brooke: No. We are not weak women.

Ridge: I never said that you’re weak women. You are strong, independent women.

Taylor: You have no idea how strong we’ve had to be.

Brooke: We have been stuck in this same cycle for decades.

Taylor: For decades! You’ve had it good though. You have two families. One with me, one with brooke. You love two women. Lucky guy.

Brooke: But you can’t have two women. I mean, we both love you, ridge, but…

Ridge: But what?

Taylor: But we’re tired and exhausted, actually.

Brooke: Yes. We are better than this.

Taylor: We’re done fighting.

Brooke: We deserve to be happy.

Ridge: I agree. I always agreed with that.

Brooke: Good. Glad you agree.

Taylor: Mm-hm.

Brooke: Because taylor and I, we’ve made a decision. And we choose us.

Taylor: Yes. We choose ourselves. Our dignity, our self-respect. We’re done.

Brooke: We are done.

Taylor: We’re done.

Brooke: We are.

[ Both chuckling ]

Taylor: Goodbye, ridge.

Brooke: Goodbye. Come on, taylor.

Taylor: Yeah. Oh, one minute.

Steffy: Mom, why didn’t you tell me you were coming home?

Taylor: Oh because I was– you know what? Never mind. It doesn’t matter. I’m back.

Steffy: I’m so happy that you are.

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: Yeah, I have, uh, so much to fill you in on.

Taylor: Really?

Steffy: Yeah.

Taylor: What? What? Tell me.

Steffy: No, we have plenty of time. First off, I wanna know how you’re doing. How are you? How are you?

Taylor: I am okay. I am. I– I– why? Do I not seem okay?

Steffy: No, you seem fine. You look beautiful, but… looks could also be deceiving.

Taylor: Yes, they can. But no, I’m really good. I am.

Steffy: Okay.

Taylor: Speaking of deceiving, have you heard from your brother?

Steffy: No. I really don’t care about him right now, especially what he did to you and dad.

[ Taylor sighing ] Besides, I wanna hear about you. Have you heard from dad?

Brooke: Can you imagine literally running into sheila carter the way steffy did at il giardino.

[ Brooke sighing ] I mean, she was in disguise, but…

Hope: Steffy was sure it was her. Missing toe and all.

Brooke: Gosh, that woman has brought so much terror into our lives for years.

Hope: Well, I mean, at some point, sheila’s luck has to run out and she will be caught.

Brooke: Meanwhile, we’re all back to being on high alert and added security.

Hope: Do you think ridge knows what’s happening?

Brooke: No. Steffy didn’t want her parents to be concerned, so she didn’t say anything.

Hope: So, you still haven’t spoken to him.

Brooke: No, but rumor has it he’s on his way back today.

Hope: Mm. How does that make you feel?

Steffy: Well, have you?

Taylor: Have I spoken to your father?

Steffy: You two left and went your separate ways.

Taylor: Yeah, yeah. Ridge had to process what he was feeling and I did too.

Steffy: Yeah, obviously you did. I mean, you’re here, back in los angeles.

Taylor: I am. You know, I– I sorted through some anger I was having and tried to understand the questionable choices I made.

Steffy: If thomas hadn’t made that call to cps.

[ Steffy sighing ] Mom, look, I understand that you’re upset with yourself and with dad for not being totally truthful. So, I want you to know that, um, from here on out, I’m not gonna push you towards dad. Look, I know I didn’t go to the lengths thomas did, but I– I still got caught up in the moment, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say that– I mean, part of me does want you and dad back together.

Brooke: How do I feel?

Hope: Yeah. I mean, your marriage was derailed by thomas, interfered with by nearly everybody. I mean, mom, you were wronged.

Brooke: And ridge knows that and he’s apologized over and over again, but that doesn’t mean we can go back to the way we were before he walked out on me.

Hope: Oh, no. Of course not. A lot has happened, but–

Brooke: Now is the time to take stock in where things stand. For all of us. I made it very clear to ridge before he left town that he needed to do some soul searching and he realized he needed to do that as well. I’m just hoping that he has. (Birds chirping)

Taylor: You know, your father’s due back today.

Steffy: Is that why you came back to town?

Taylor: No. I was already on my way back when I found out.

Steffy: I have to admit, I still feel terrible that I was the one that told the truth.

Taylor: Oh, come on. Someone in that room had to be honest. Seriously, there– I’m so glad you did it because I– I couldn’t do it. I love that you did that.

Steffy: So, you’re okay that it’s now out in the open.

Taylor: Yes, yes I am. Seriously because that– that day was just filled with lots of untruths and you know, your father deserved to know.

Steffy: I know that you think about what dad deserves, but you have to think about you and what you deserve.

Taylor: Mm.

Steffy: You need to be happy with your head held high. Self-loving, self-respecting.

Taylor: Mm-hm.

Steffy: And if it’s with dad, great, and if it’s not, then…

Taylor: Yeah, I don’t– I wish I could– I wish I could tell you how I was feeling, but I– I can’T.

Steffy: And I get that. I get that.

[ Taylor sighing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Ridge: Hello, dad.

Eric: Hi, ridge. Just checking in with you. How are you doing?

Ridge: Well, you’re gonna see that for yourself in just a little while. I’m on my way back.

Eric: Yes, I saw that you’re using the plane.

Ridge: All right, I’m gonna bring it right back. Gonna park it right where I found it. Not a scratch on that thing. I need to come back home.

Eric: There’s been a lot going on here that you’ve missed.

Ridge: What do you mean? Is everything okay with the family?

Eric: The family’s fine. Forrester creations is fine. You just need to know you’ve been missed.

Ridge: That’s nice. That’s nice to hear. Thank you. But, I needed this time. I just need to figure some things out, you know.

Eric: Wasn’t that the point of this trip? For you to gain some clarity?

Ridge: Yes, that– that was the whole point and– and I know what I’m going to do.

Eric: Son, you need to commit to one of them. You need to make a choice. Enough of this going back and forth. Is it brooke or is it taylor? What’s your decision?

Taylor: Yeah, just schedule mr. Dulcet for next week and you know, let him know I hope he feels better and we’ll reschedule for after the holidays. Okay, thanks audrey.

Brooke: Well, I didn’t realize you were back in town.

Taylor: Yes, I am. I, uh, had to just get away and take a little breather after my wedding day debacle.

Brooke: So, is it just a– a coincidence you came back the same day ridge is coming home or did you plan it?

Taylor: No, I am. I’m feeling– I’m feeling much better. Thanks for asking. Oh, you didn’t ask, did you? No, brooke. It wasn’t planned. I was on my way home and here I am.

Brooke: Yeah, here you are. Reinvigorated and determined to win ridge back yet again. Even though you weren’t really honest with him when it mattered the most.

Taylor: Yeah, I did that, didn’t I? I should’ve told ridge what thomas did as soon as I found out and I didn’t and…

Brooke: It cost you the wedding you’ve wanted for so many years.

Taylor: Yeah, but I didn’t want it like that. That– that phone call changed a lot for both of us.

Brooke: Indeed. You know, when I was in aspen in ridge, he just kept telling me to, “just say it.” Of course, I had no idea what he was talking about until I found out what thomas did. How he called child protective services on himself. So, ridge leaving me, ending our marriage, was based on a lie and a manipulation.

Taylor: Yeah, it seems that way, doesn’t it? You know, but, I also know that, you know, what ridge and I have, the love that we share is real and very special. And no one and nothing is ever gonna take that away from us. When you really need to sleep.

Hope: Sheila’s still out there. Yeah. Okay, but call me if you have any updates. I love you too.

Steffy: Liam?

Hope: Uh, yeah. I was just touching base, seeing if he heard anything.

Steffy: Same with finn and the police. Still no new information.

Hope: I know they’re doing everything that they can, but still, everything doesn’t feel like quite enough when it comes to sheila.

Steffy: Yeah, I get it. I mean, I’m still trying to wrap my head around everything. There’s definitely a lot weighing on us, especially with our moms and my father.

[ Speaker pinging ]

Trevor: We’ll be landing in los angeles shortly, mr. Forrester. Please fasten your seatbelt and store any unsecured items.

Taylor: Hm.

Brooke: You’ll never stop loving ridge, will you?

Taylor: And neither will you.

Brooke: Well, that’s one thing we have in common. Probably the only thing.

Taylor: No, you know what else we have in common, brooke? We both love our kids.

Brooke: Yes, that’s true. But when it comes to thomas–

Taylor: Ah. I love my son very much, but I hate what he did to you. I hate it. It was awful what he put you through. I– I– I truly feel terrible about that.

Brooke: I actually believe you mean it.

Taylor: Good, because I do. For you to lose ridge the way you did because– because thomas put the final nail in your marriage coffin–

Brooke: You know that would’ve never happened. Ridge would’ve never have left me. He wouldn’t have gone to aspen. There wouldn’t have been an annulment papers.

Taylor: God. Oh, god. It’s just so confusing to me. Thomas– thomas has a lot to make up for, he really does, but I don’t think he understands the damage that he’s caused. But right now, steffy is furious with her brother.

Brooke: I am very grateful for steffy, stepping up the way she did. And I know she didn’t do that for me, but it did cost her a lot. You’re probably very proud of her.

Taylor: My daughter is amazing. She did what I should’ve done, you know? She saved the day and I love her so much for that. And you’re right, it did cost her. She was so close to having her parents married again.

Brooke: Probably won’t happen now.

Taylor: You know, the time that– that ridge and i shared together was, you know, it’S… it was all very special and then, all of this happened and we both went away. Just to deal with all of the confusion, and now, ridge is coming back. Have you talked to ridge at all?

Brooke: No. I told him that he should go away and think about what he wants out of his life, you know? I was determined to give him that. What have we done? What have we done? I mean, it’s been years like this, this back and forth with ridge. You and me just chasing a dream, defending our families.

Taylor: Yeah, now we’re wondering who’s gonna end up with her dream. I tried everything to remove fabric odors, trevor.

Trevor: Welcome back to los angeles, mr. Forrester.

Ridge: Why, thank you, trevor.

Trevor: You know, I can only imagine how eager your family is to see you.

Ridge: I’m eager to see them too.

Trevor: Well, you have a great day.

Ridge: Thanks again. Good job.

Trevor: Yes, sir. Thank you.

[ Phone pinging ]

Steffy: If you could give me any information, chief baker. Yes, please. As soon as possible. Thanks. Oh, my gosh.

Hope: What did chief baker say?

Steffy: Just the same thing over and over and over again. That he’s gonna have his men work on it 24/7, but until sheila’s in custody, I’m gonna be freaked out about this.

Hope: It’s like we’re constantly having to look over our shoulders, wondering if sheila is gonna do something crazy again or even worse.

Steffy: Yeah. It really gets you in the holiday spirit.

Hope: Huh.

Steffy: To think my dad is coming home to this. My mom and my dad, they have no idea what happened. I mean, they already have so much on their plate.

Hope: Yeah. If only thomas had stayed out of it.

Steffy: Tell me about it. What my brother did, it was reckless and it was stupid. He hurt all of us. Especially our mothers.

Hope: Yeah, well, they were both the victims of his deception, although I still can’t believe that taylor was willing to go through with the marriage–

Steffy: She was going to–

Hope: With the wedding.

Steffy: She was going to tell him after the ceremony.

Hope: Yeah, but that still doesn’t excuse the fact that she–

Steffy: My father still professed his love to my mother. He wanted to marry her and they love each other. It’s not about brooke and what she’s done.

Hope: No, and I’m not saying otherwise, I just– I think if we are being honest with ourselves, if it wasn’t for thomas’ interference, your father and my mom would probably still be married and that’s why I believe that ridge is coming back for her.

Ridge: Hi.

Taylor: Hi.

Brooke: Hi.

Ridge: Hi. Am I interrupting something?

Brooke: No.

Ridge: Because if I am–

Taylor: You’re not interrupting anything.

[ Ridge sighing ]

Ridge: Okay. When did– when did you get back?

Taylor: I got back earlier today. I didn’t know that you would also be coming home.

Brooke: So, how was your flight?

Ridge: It was uneventful. How are things here?

Brooke: We’re all hanging in. Right, taylor?

Taylor: Yeah, yeah.

Brooke: Yeah.

Taylor: We’re doing good. Did you have a good time away?

Ridge: It was productive, but I missed both of you guys.

Taylor: Aw.

Brooke: We missed you too.

Ridge: What’s going on here? I got a text when I was getting off the flight and I assumed it was–

Brooke: Yeah, that was from–

Taylor: Both of us.

Ridge: Okay, cool. What’s going on?

Taylor: I’m going to assume you’re back because you’ve– you’ve made your decision. Who you’re gonna choose. But I guess we have something to say about that.

Brooke: We do.

[ Relaxing music ]

Finn: I mean, sheila’s here because of me. I’m the one who brought her back into your life.

Steffy: None of this is your fault, finn.

Finn: Look, I– I vowed to protect you and the kids. Our family. And instead, I put you at risk. Sheila was in this restaurant. You two were face-to-face.

Steffy: All this time, we thought she was dead. Sheila’s alive.

Steffy: Mom, I feel bad. Oh, my– oh, my gosh. I am so sorry. I–

Sheila: No, no, no, no.

Steffy: No, let me just see. I just wanna check. I feel terrible. I’m so sor–

[ Steffy gasping ] Sheila!

[ Sheila sighing ]

Hope: So, sales just posted our latest numbers.

Brooke: I saw. Congratulations, honey.

Hope: Thank you. I still need to go over them with production though.

Brooke: Oh, I’ll do that for you, if you need me to.

Hope: Are you sure?

Brooke: Yeah. I need to stay busy. I wanna work, especially now that ridge is gone. You know, there’s only so much christmas shopping I can do.

Hope: Okay, true. And there is a lot to do here. I mean, our collection is blowing up.

Brooke: You should be very proud. It’s st a little bittersweet, given that thomas was a huge part of that success. And knowing that he was just trying to sabotage your marriage just…

Brooke: Honey, honey. You need to enjoy your achievement, okay? Thomas is keeping his distance. Douglas is back home where he belongs, with you, liam and beth, and it’s the holidays.

Hope: Mom, I know, it’s just, I find it a little hard to relax knowing that sheila carter could still be out there somewhere.

Brooke: So, you’re thinking about sheila too.

Hope: I just– I keep hoping that finn and steffy are wrong. I mean, sheila, she can’t be alive. I mean, how is that even possible, but what if it is true?

Brooke: It is a disturbing thought, but we all know what sheila is capable of. And I hate to say it, but finn and steffy, they are right to be worried.

Steffy: Finn, I know you wanna take this on yourself, but you’re one of sheila’s victims too.

Paul: Hey, guys. I just heard about the bump in. I’m gonna let everyone know to keep an eye out, okay?

Finn: Thank you. Deacon is going through the security footage to see if it was caught on camera.

Baker: All right. You can tape this right here at this table. Tape that table off there. No questions. Ah, dr. Finnegan, ms. Forrester. I’m glad the both of you are here. I need to get your statements before we talk to the staff.

Finn: Thank you for coming.

Baker: Of course. I wanna get to the bottom of this as bad as you do. So, tell me what happened.

Steffy: I saw sheila carter here in this restaurant.

[ Phone ringing ]

Deacon: Come on, pick up.

[ Phone ringing ]

Sheila: Why are you calling me again? I told you not to worry about me.

Deacon: Well, you know, I’d love not to worry, except I’m looking at the security footage and I’m worried as hell.

Sheila: You just– you just need to stay out of this.

Deacon: That’d be great, except your super smart son and his wife put me on the job.

Sheila: Wait, so you’re working for them? But you’re calling me?

Deacon: Nobody knows I have this burner phone. Listen to me. This is important. Sheila, when you ran into steffy, it was– it was in the hallway, right outside the bathroom.

Sheila: Yes.

Deacon: And nobody else was there?

[ Sheila sighing ]

Sheila: I don’t know. I don’t think so.

Deacon: Hold on, hold on. I think I found it. Yeah, caught on camera.

Sheila: Can you see my face?

Deacon: Well, you’re wearing that stupid disguise, but yeah.

Sheila: You need to get rid of it.

Deacon: What?

Sheila: Steffy, finn, no one can see that footage, deacon. Just delete it. Now! Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Brooke: If finn is right and sheila’s alive, the police will confirm it.

Hope: Oh, so then what? They open her case and start looking for her again?

Brooke: If they haven’t already.

[ Hope sighing ]

Hope: Just, finn and steffy have already been through so much. I mean, sheila tried to kill both of them. This must be theirBrooke: Yes. It is a very stressful situation for all of us. But, we can’t let the fear set in.

Hope: Are you nervous about staying home alone in the house without ridge?

Brooke: No, I’m not nervous.

Hope: ‘Cause it’s just I– I have noticed you have been coming into the office a lot lately.

Brooke: Well, yeah. I mean, there’s a lot of work to do around here, especially since ridge is gone. And if sheila is on the loose, we’re gonna have to step in a lot more and help steffy out.

Hope: And we will. It’s just… I want you to be open about your feelings, mom. I mean, be honest. How do you really feel about ridge? I mean, what are you going to do when he gets back?

Baker: The forensics team is examining the evidence again. They’re looking into your theory.

Steffy: It’s more than a theory. Sheila carter is alive. She was here.

Baker: The woman that you ran into outside of the restroom.

Steffy: Yes, yes. I didn’t recognize her at first. She was like in some kind of disguise. I looked up at her and her hair and her face, it was… it was different, but there was something so… familiar about her and that’s when we locked eyes and my– my blood went cold. And that when I said– I said, “sheila.” Sheila. Oh, my god. Sheila. I was stunned. I looked away for a second and she was gone. I was so shocked, I just– I just stood there.

Baker: You didn’t follow her?

Finn: No. We know what happened last time my wife followed sheila into an alley.

Steffy: It was sheila.

Baker: Okay, this definitely requires further investigation.

Steffy: Of course it does.

Finn: Deacon sharpe, he’s going through the restaurant security footage right now. Hopefully, she’ll be on camera.

Sheila: You have to erase it. No one else can see that footage.

Deacon: How the hell am i supposed to explain erasing it?

Sheila: You’re just gonna delete it. You’re gonna do it. Do it now, deacon.

[ Deacon panting ]

Deacon: Okay, okay, it’s done, all right? It’s done.

Sheila: Oh. I owe you so much. You gave me A… a place to stay and you never treated me like I was a monster. I am moving on. I’m– I’m never going to bother you again.

Deacon: Sheila– sheila, listen to me. You can’t run, all right? I mean, finn and steffy already called the cops. They’re certain it’s you. They know you’re in L.A.

Sheila: Well, thanks to you, they’re not gonna know who they’re looking for.

Deacon: Sheila, running is not the answer. If you do, you’re gonna wind up in prison and they’re just gonna add more years to your sentence. Just listen to me. You– you gotta turn yourself in. You gotta throw yourself in the mercy of the court. Maybe you’ll see daylight before you’re too old to enjoy it. Sheila, please. You know that this is the only way.

Sheila: No, I’ve told you. There’s always a way out. Goodbye, deacon.

Deacon: Sheila. Sheila, hello?

[ Phone beeping ]

[ Sheila sighing ] Bye, bye cough.

Steffy: I’m telling you, it was her. Her reaction was unmistakable when I said her name. Sheila carter was closer to me than

Finn: She can’t get away again.

Baker: All right. Let’s check out the footage. If we get a decent image and forensics confirms that it’s her, then I can send it out to the airports and bus stations.

Steffy: Okay.

Finn: You need to warn them that she’s armed. I don’t want her to hurt anyone else. We need to catch her and put her away once and for all.

Hope: Well, it’s just, you haven’t said much about ridge since he left, so I was just wondering if you’d heard from him.

Brooke: Ridge is just taking much needed time to process everything that has happened. Make some decisions about what he wants for his life, his future.

Hope: It’s yours, too. I mean, aren’t you a part of that decision?

Brooke: Honey, I love him. I want to be with him, but I told ridge I can’t do this back and forth thing anymore. This tug of war. If he wants to be with me, he needs to be completely committed to me. Nobody else.

Hope: Well, I am, uh, glad to hear you say that because that is what you deserve.

Brooke: Yeah, well. Took me a long time to figure that out.

Hope: Well look, mom. I don’t want to bring up anything that’s painful and you know, I’m really sorry that this is what your relationship with ridge has become. You know him not being able to make up his mind once again, but I’m just saying, there is a man who is here who I know would give anything to be with you, who loves you unconditionally and who just happens to be my dad.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: Honey.

[ Deacon sighing ]

[ Computer pinging ]

[ Deacon sighing ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Steffy: Deacon, what did you find?

Deacon: So, chief baker, you think sheila is alive too?

Baker: Oh, just checking a theory. Due diligence. You were looking over the security?

Deacon: Yeah, what there is of it.

Baker: Did you happen to see the woman that steffy bumped in to?

Deacon: I’ve been through this three times. I didn’t see anything.

Steffy: Nothing? Nothing.

Deacon: Look, sometimes, the wi-fi, it… it, you know, it goes out. I mean, there’s gaps and stuff. I think that’s what happened here. I didn’t see that woman or sheila or whoever it was.

Steffy: What? I– I saw her. I saw her. I don’t care if she was on the video or not, sheila carter was there. Chief baker, you have to do something. She can’t escape this time. My family was nearly destroyed because of her. She tried to kill me. She held my husband hostage, my family, my children were traumatized and heartbroken. She needs to pay for her crimes.

[ Knocking on door ]

Deacon: Please don’t let it be sheila, please don’t let it be sheila. Hey, paul. Come on in.

Paul: Hey, man. You all right? Why’d you take off? Are you– are you packing?

Deacon: Uh, yeah. I was actually gonna talk to you about that.

Paul: Well, what’s going on? Where are you going?

Deacon: Um, you know how the owners are always talking about maybe selling il giardino?

Paul: Yeah, sure. Anthony’s wanted to retire for awhile.

Deacon: Right. You know, he says if he can find the right person. Well, he thinks I might be the right guy.

Paul: You run il giardino?

Deacon: It could be a hell of an opportunity.

Paul: Well, then why are you leaving?

Deacon: Well, I gotta get some funding together. Uh, I gotta go overseas, italy. My– my P.O., He actually signed off on it. Look, if– if I could just get some backers together, I think I could actually make my dream of turning il giardino into deacon’s place a reality.

Paul: Deacon’s place, huh?

Deacon: That’s got a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

Paul: Yeah, but–

Deacon: No, no, hey. Don’t worry. I’m gonna keep everybody on.

Paul: Okay.

Deacon: But uh, if this is gonna happen, I can’t wait.

Paul: Wait, so you’re gonna leave like right now, today?

Deacon: Yeah. I think getting out of here asap is the smartest thing I can do.

Hope: Look, I’m not trying to force dad on you the way steffy and thomas were trying to put their parents back together.

Brooke: Good. Because that doesn’t end well for anybody.

[ Hope laughing ]

Hope: But mom, I just– I trust you to do what’s right for you. You know, you follow your heart and I respect that. I’m just saying, ridge isn’t the only man out there. And dad, I know, loves you a lot. More than he probably says.

Brooke: Deacon’s never been one to hide his feelings.

Hope: Look, I’m not saying you need a man in your life, I just– I just want you to be happy and I love you. Okay?

Brooke: Thank you, honey. I love you too.

Steffy: I called amelia. We’re gonna add some more security to the house.

Brooke: What’s going on?

Steffy: Um… sheila. She’s here. In L.A.

Brooke: What?

Finn: Steffy ran into her at il giardino.

Steffy: Literally. I spilled my drink on her. To attack you?

Steffy: No, no. When i realized who she was, she ran off. She was like in this disguise. And if she wasn’t wearing open-toed sandals, I wouldn’t have looked at her twice.

Hope: But because her missing toe–

Steffy: Yes. That’s what gave it away.

Finn: I just wish I would’ve followed my instincts sooner.

Steffy: Hey, you got chief baker to believe me. You convinced him that sheila’s death was a lie. You vowed to protect us and you did.

Finn: Well, they have to find her soon because every moment she’s out there, my family’s in danger. We need to protect each other, all right? And our children. Because this threat is still very much alive.

Sheila: I’m not going back to prison. I’m never going back there again. I won’t be hiding that long. I’ll be a free woman again. That day is coming. Soon.

Steffy: Oh my– oh my– oh, my gosh. I am so sorry. Wow. Mom, I’ll call you back. I’m so sorry. Did I get that on you? I got it on me.

Sheila: No, no, no.

Steffy: No, let me just see. I just wanna check. I feel terrible. I’m so, so–

[ Steffy gasps ]

Steffy: Sheila!

Finn: Deacon. Hey.

Deacon: Hey, finn.

Finn: How are you?

Deacon: Uh, honestly, you know, I’ve been better. I’m just– I’m having trouble concentrating, you know. I– I keep thinking about your theory about sheila. It just keeps popping into my head. You– you really think she’s still alive? You really think she’s out there somewhere?

Finn: Yeah, I do. The question is, where? Are you sure you haven’t seen her? You have no idea where sheila is?

Hope: Hmm. What’s that for?

Liam: Hm. I don’t know. I just thought a hug might help.

Hope: With?

Liam: Improving the general mood. I mean, we got a pretty big bomb just dropped on us just now. Figured some tlc might be in order.

Hope: Hm. Well, then I hope you cleared your schedule for today because I’m going to need about, oh, a million more hugs in order to put sheila out of my mind.

Liam: This is absolutely insane.

Hope: Yeah.

Liam: That sheila might actually be alive.

Hope: Mm-hmm. And that she has just been out there somewhere this entire time. That she faked her own death. That she cut off– I don’t even wanna think about it. I don’t want this weighing on all of us again.

Liam: Sh. We’re just gonna do that, yeah.

Hope: I just feel like– you’re right. That does help.

Hope: It’s just hard to wrap my head around that.

Liam: Yeah. Because it’s literally unthinkable. It’s too much. It’s too much to process. I mean, we’re supposed to be done with sheila by now, right? We’re– we’re supposed to never have to think about her again.

Hope: Well, maybe we– we won’T. I mean, at this point, it’s just a theory, right? I mean, finn and steffy, they don’t have actual proof.

Liam: Yeah. Well, I mean, it’s close enough, right? Finn said he examined the toe. It wasn’t bitten off. Anyway, he said he told the police, so I’m sure they’ll investigate.

Hope: Would sheila really go that far to cut off her own toe?

Liam: I mean, it’s sheila, so, yes. Listen, I– I just think finn wouldn’t be sounding the alarms if he weren’t certain that sheila is still alive. And you heard him. He’s certain.

Deacon: There you go. Look, I promise you, if sheila is alive, I don’t have a clue where she is. I mean, according to the police, she’s dead. She was mauled by a bear.

Finn: She was mauled by a bear. I know. But that was a mauling that she faked.

Deacon: I just find it kinda tough to imagine her cutting off her own body parts.

Finn: But is that any more tough to imagine than a bear attack? An attack that somehow left just one measly toe? No, deacon. I looked at it very closely. That toe didn’t come off because of teeth or claws. It was severed sharply with a knife, by sheila herself. Now, I just gotta figure out what she’s been doing since and where she’s been hiding out and where is sheila?

Steffy: Your toe. Sheila. Oh my god. Sheila? Wait, no.

Sheila: No!

[ Steffy panting ]

[ Gun firing ]

[ Steffy gasping ] You are not calling the police.

[ Gun firing ]

[ Steffy panting ]

Deacon: Hey, finn. Look, sheila could anywhere. She could be halfway across the country. Hell, she could be halfway across the world. Okay, look. If she is still alive, my guess? We’re not gonna see her or hear from her ever again, especially ’cause she’s probably dead.

Finn: She’s not. At least not from a bear attack. Look, uh– steffy has been gone a minute. I’m gonna go check on her.

Deacon: Yeah. Yeah, sure. Uh, enjoy the rest of your meal.

[ Steffy panting ]

Steffy: Oh, my god.

Finn: Baby. Whoa, whoa. Hey, what’s going on? You okay? Hey, hey, hey, hey. You all right?

Steffy: No, no, no, no. I can’t– I can’t believe. I can’t believe.

Finn: You can’t believe? You can’t believe what? What’s going on? Steffy.

Steffy: I saw sheila. I saw sheila.

Finn: What?

Steffy: I– I– I think it was her. I saw her toe. And it– it was her. It was her. No, no. We have to go after her. We have to go after her now.

Finn: Wait, steffy. Steffy! Whoa!

Hope: It’s scary, isn’t it? I mean, we thought we were safe.

Liam: Well, with sheila dead, we were. But now…

Hope: What if it’s true? What if sheila really is alive?

Steffy: Oh, my god. Oh, my god. I should have gone after her. I should– I should have gone after her.

Finn: No, no, no. I’m glad you didn’T. Remember what happened last time you followed sheila into an alley?

Steffy: It was her. No, it– it was. I know I saw her. We need to call the police.

Deacon: What happened? Is this about the police?

Steffy: I think I just saw sheila.

Deacon: Here?

Steffy: Yeah. Just there in the bathroom. I– I was walking towards the restroom and I had my drink and I accidentally spilled it on a woman. And then I– I went to get a hand cloth and wipe her off and I looked down and– and that’s when I saw it.

Deacon: You– you saw what?

Steffy: She– she was wearing sandals and she was– she was missing a toe.

Finn: A middle toe, the same as sheila?

Steffy: Yes. When she– when she cut off her– her toe which– which foot– which foot? Was it right or?

Finn: The right. Her right toe. Her right middle toe. Was that the one?

Steffy: Yes. Oh, my god, yes. Yes.

Deacon: Okay, listen. You– you would’ve recognized her if it was sheila, right?

Steffy: I– I– I was shocked. I don’t know. She was like in some kinda disguise or something.

Deacon: Did she say anything?

Steffy: No. I– I– I said something. I said, sheila, and then she– she took off.

Deacon: Took off.

Steffy: She was gone. She went out the back.

Finn: Okay. Well, it was obviously her. Otherwise, why would you run?

Steffy: Exactly.

Deacon: I can’t believe this is happening.

Finn: Well, I know this seems impossible, but based off what steffy’s saying, this is–

Steffy: Sheila’s alive. Sheila is in los angeles. I just ran into sheila carter. And now please welcome ana montoya.

Liam: Well, it’s good steffy already called about the extra security.

Hope: Definitely. I just hate that we have to go back to living in fear again.

Liam: Well, look at it this way. It’s better that we know, right? Instead of not, and thinking sheila’s still dead and getting totally caught off guard, right?

Hope: True. It’s just frustrating and frightening and I don’t wanna believe it.

Liam: I don’t either, but… finn and steffy seem pretty sure.

Hope: I know. I know. They’re probably right, but I just– I hope– I hope they’re not. I hope they’re wrong.

Finn: Unfortunately, no. She was long gone by the time we got out there. Okay. I– I appreciate that. Thank you. Okay. Baker says he’s gonna look into it.

Deacon: So it’s official now. The– the police are actually searching for a dead woman.

Finn: Baker still doesn’t sound convinced, there’s a lot to this yet. But he already asked forensics to reopen the investigation after I told him about the toe. So hopefully, after this run in he’ll–

Deacon: So are they– are they coming here?

Finn: Probably. I’m sure he is gonna wanna question the staff and see if anyone has any info on her.

Deacon: I just can’t believe she’d be foolish enough to come back here. A place that she used to work. Where there– there would be so many people that could recognize her?

Steffy: I’m telling you, she didn’t look like herself. It’s a pretty good disguise.

Finn: Well, clearly. She felt confident enough to be out and about in public.

Steffy: Do you think she’s been following us? That’s why she’s here.

Finn: She could be. Or she was here to make contact with an old friend. Maybe she was here to see you.

Deacon: Yeah, I don’t think so. I– look– look, I know you guys think you’re onto something here, but I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that she’d be as dumb as that to come back here.

Steffy: It looked enough like her and she was missing a toe. It can’t be a coincidence.

Deacon: Yeah. You’re probably right.

Finn: Well, one way to know for sure.

Deacon: There is?

Finn: Security footage. You have cameras in here, right?

Deacon: Yes. Yeah. Sure. Yeah.

Steffy: Yeah. Can you get the security footage?

Deacon: Yeah. I’m– okay. I’m gonna go to the server room and get the laptop and then I’m gonna go review it upstairs, okay?

Finn: Okay. Cool. I’ll come with you.

Deacon: Yeah, no. Oh, no. Stay here because if baker comes. I’ll come back asap.

Finn: Hopefully the camera’s caught something.

Sheila: Don’t worry. I’m– I’m gonna be fine.

Deacon: I don’t know, babe. Something tells me that this is gonna be the last time I see you without bars between us.

Sheila: I’m not going back to prison.

Steffy: We need to find her. We need to put her back in prison where she belongs.

Sheila: How the hell could I be so stupid wearing sandals? Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Ow!

Steffy: Sheila. Oh, my god. Sheila.

[ Phone ringing ]

Sheila: So help me if you gave this number to anyone, deacon.

[ Phone ringing ]

[ Phone pinging ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Deacon: Yeah. You have my old burner phone too. How the hell did you let steffy run into you?

Sheila: I didn’t run into her. She ran into me and spilled her drink all over me. I thought I had the situation handled beautifully. She didn’t even recognize me. Then she started wiping me up like a toddler.

Deacon: This is unbelievable. You just left me. We just said our goodbyes. You weren’t supposed to be causing me any more trouble. And then you go waltzing through the restaurant causing all kinds of problems.

Sheila: Not for you. Okay? You don’t– you don’t have to worry.

Deacon: Cops are on their way! What are you talking about? When should I worry?

Sheila: No because they’re– they’re never gonna know that I wasn’t even here. Okay. And neither will you. I– I’m not gonna bother you anymore. I just– if they– if they question you, just say–

Deacon: They already have.

Sheila: Well then deny, deacon. You just deny.

Deacon: What are you gonna do if you get caught? Are you gonna stay quiet?

Sheila: No one is gonna catch me.

Deacon: I don’t know. I don’t know. I just think it’s a matter of time before they get you.

Sheila: No, that’s not gonna happen. So don’t worry, deacon. I’m off to, uh–

Deacon: You’re– you’re off to where? Sheila where? Sheila, where are you off to?

[ Phone beeping ]

Finn: I’m– I’m just– I’m sorry.

Steffy: You got nothing to apologize for.

Finn: Yes. No. For what I have put you through.

Steffy: No.

Finn: Because of sheila.

Steffy: No. Nothing sheila has done is your fault. Nothing.

Finn: I should have– I should have just listened to you. On our wedding day, inviting her in. As soon as I saw the look on your face, I should have just–

Steffy: Just stop. Just– just stop. I mean, she was your birth mother. You were– you were excited to introduce her.

Finn: No, but you knew. You knew what she was capable of and I should have trusted you. All of this suffering could have been avoided. Out in that alley, both of us almost dying. Weeks that she held me captive and the weeks that you thought I was dead. It just all could have been–

Steffy: You escaped. You– you escaped and you found me.

Finn: Steffy!

Steffy: Oh!

Finn: It’s me. It’s me. I found you. Steffy, it’s me. It’s really me.

Steffy: Oh!

Finn: Honey, I’m alive.

Steffy: You fought like hell to get back to me. Now, we’re gonna continue to fight. We’re gonna find sheila and make sure she’s arrested.

Finn: I just wish I didn’t bring her back into your life.

Steffy: You need to stop blaming yourself. Stop blaming yourself that sheila carter is your birth mother. It’s not your fault. Look at me. None of this is your fault.

Finn: You’re amazing. We’re gonna find her. We’re gonna track her down and we’re gonna make her pay for everything.

Steffy: Yeah, we are.

Finn: Okay?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Hey, come here.

Liam: Good to see you.

Carter: Good to see you.

Eric: All right. So steffy wants us all in here as soon as possible. Right away. Has she given any reason?

Carter: Not to me.

Brooke: No. She just said asap.

Liam: Well, it’s not business, right? ‘Cause why am I here?

Hope: I mean, do you think it’s about maybe ridge and taylor not getting married?

Carter: I heard taylor left town.

Eric: Yeah. Ridge did too.

Hope: But they didn’t leave together.

Brooke: No. I urged ridge to take some time for himself and figure out what it is he wants. I love him, but he needs to commit to me. We can’t do this back and forth with taylor.

Hope: Proud of you for that. I-I still can’t believe that that wedding almost went through though, based on a lie.

Liam: Well, it goes to show thomas’ scheme almost worked.

Eric: I still can’t believe that he did this. That he– that he used douglas’s app on his phone to make his voice sound like yours. So it sounded like you were turning him in to– to child protective services. Who does that? So disappointed in him.

Hope: So am I.

Carter: Has anyone heard from thomas?

Eric: No. He’s keeping a pretty low profile.

Hope: Well, the good news is douglas is back home with liam, beth, and me.

Hope: Thank god for that. No offense, eric.

Eric: None taken.

[ Door opens ]

Steffy: Hi.

Finn: Hey everyone. Thank you for meeting so quickly.

[ Door closes ]

Steffy: I know you’re wondering why we wanted to see you. Finn and I have some shocking news. Sheila carter is alive.

[ Door opens ]

Deacon: Where the hell have you been?

Sheila: Talking like you missed me.

Deacon: Sheila, you can’t be running around la like this.

Sheila: Hello. I am in disguise in case you didn’t notice. You are giving me a serious case of whiplash, deacon. I– you want me gone and then the next minute you’re upset because I didn’t stay put. You can’t have it both ways. Although given your reaction action, I’d have to say you do want me up close and personal.

Deacon: Stop fooling around. I thought you got caught.

Sheila: [ Chuckles ] Caught? Who’d be looking? Everyone thinks I’m dead.

Deacon: Not anymore.

Sheila: What do you mean?

Deacon: I mean, steffy and finn figured it out. They know you’re alive.

Sheila: No. No. No, no. No!

Brooke: What are you saying?

Liam: Wait, you– are you serious?

Eric: That’s not possible.

Hope: Sheila was mauled by a bear.

Carter: There’s no way she could have survived that.

Finn: That’s what we thought too.

Steffy: What we were supposed to think.

Finn: Steffy and I believed that we have proof that sheila is most definitely alive.

Sheila: Okay. So what’s this game you’re playing?

Deacon: I’m not playing any game. I’m just telling you what happened last night.

Sheila: Finn and steffy figured out that I’m alive.

Deacon: Yep.

Sheila: You’re exaggerating. You– are just messing with me so I leave peacefully?

Deacon: Sheila, they were here last night.

Sheila: Finn and steffy were here.

Deacon: Yes. And imagine my surprise. But I was a lot more surprised to learn that they know you’re still alive.

Sheila: But how? I mean, there’s no possible way they–

Deacon: Your toe. Your crazy smart gifted son, the doctor, he took a look at it, put it under a microscope, and figured out it was cut off. Not that it was chewed, not that it was gnawed off by some wild animal.

Sheila: No, no. No. You’re saying this just to freak me out.

Deacon: Are you kidding? I’m the one who’s been freaking out. Don’t you get it? This is the end of the line. You gotta get the hell out of la and never come back.

Wondering what actually goes

into your multivitamin?

Hope: This is insane. Sheila cut off her own toe.

Carter: I’m not saying I’m doubting you, but it’s hard to believe she pulled this off.

Steffy: What she did is diabolical.

Carter: Aside from the toe, is there any other evidence?

Finn: There’s bloody clothing that appeared to be torn, not clawed. And she could have used the severed toe to cover it with blood.

Brooke: With anybody else involved, this scenario would seem unbelievable. But now knowing that sheila’s at the center, this– this is all making horrible sense.

Eric: Did you talk to the police about this?

Finn: Right before we got here. The forensics team is reinvestigating.

Carter: Okay. According to you, the toe tells the tale. It’s cut off this case closed. But if that’s the case, then why were the cops so quick to accept sheila’s death?

Finn: All the pieces seem to add up. I mean– I mean, full disclosure, we’re not saying with a hundred percent absolute certainty that sheila is alive.

Steffy: But it is what we believe.

Eric: Well, if it’s true, if sheila is out there, we all have to be very careful.

Steffy: Yes. We already have a security team ready to go.

Hope: I wonder where she could be hiding out.

Steffy: We asked your father the exact same question.

Sheila: Are you sure you just didn’t misunderstand finn and steffy?

Deacon: Seriously? Seriously? What, you think I don’t speak english? No. There was no room for misinterpretation here. They think, they know that you faked your own death. Look, the circumstances have changed sheila dramatically exactly the way I said they would.

Sheila: You should just calm down. Okay? They have a theory, but they can’t prove anything.

Deacon: They’ve seen the evidence. Your son, the doctor, he looked at the toe under a microscope.

Sheila: Still, it’s only his opinion.

Deacon: Sheila, the cops are gonna see this. They’re gonna reopen the investigation and then they’re gonna be convinced too. All right? You– you hear that sound? You know what that is? That’s the walls closing in, babe.

Sheila: Stop panicking.

Deacon: Really? Stop panicking. When the hell should– should I panic, when the cops are dragging our ass back to prison? Would that be a good time?

Sheila: We’re– we’re not– we’re not–

Deacon: I can’t do this I can’t do this anymore. All right. I am done. I cannot risk everything that I have built. I can’T. You need to leave.

Sheila: Deacon I just–

Deacon: Sheila, please. I don’t wanna see you go down. I don’t, but I can’t prop you up anymore. I can’t do it. I gotta think of my– I gotta think of myself and I gotta think of my daughter.

Sheila: How many times do I have to tell you counting me out is a big mistake.

Deacon: You keep talking about second chances and– and– and ways out. Don’t you get it? There isn’t one. The cops are going to find you and it cannot be here. You need to leave today.

Restless nights fogging up

your day?

Hope: You spoke to my father?

Finn: We thought he might know something.

Hope: Well, he would have nothing to do with this. He’s trying to better himself in his life.

Steffy: Yeah, but deacon and sheila had a thing. I mean, you two saw them at il giardino together.

Hope: Yeah, but that was a very long time ago.

Steffy: We only asked a few questions.

Liam: Like what?

Steffy: If he’d seen or heard from sheila.

Finn: And if he had any idea where she might be hiding out.

Eric: And?

Steffy: He was as shocked as us.

Carter: Aren’t we all.

Finn: The bottom line is deacon says he hasn’t heard from sheila and has no idea where she might be.

Brooke: [ Exhales ] God, the thought of sheila being alive.

Finn: Look we– we don’t have any definite proof yet.

Liam: But– but you believe this, right?

Finn: With every instinct I have.

Steffy: Same. We know she’s out there. But we’re gonna find her and put her behind bars where she belongs.

Sheila: So finn and steffy put it all together. Wow. You know, if– if it didn’t threaten my existence, I would be so proud my son is brilliant.

Deacon: You’re certifiable. You know that? You’re– you’re really gonna go there? Okay, great. You know, whatever. Be proud of your son. Just hit the bricks doing it. All right? Go do it somewhere else.

Sheila: Okay. I know. I know I– I can’t– I can’t stay here any longer.

Deacon: Oh my god. Oh my god. She’s got it. She’s seen the light. Perfect. I’ll get your bag for you. Okay? Look, I’m sorry, I don’t mean to throw you out, but it’s just gotten too damn risky. They can come back anytime.

Sheila: I know. I– I get it. I am gonna figure a way out of this.

Deacon: Look, sheila, I don’t wanna be debbie downer here, but finn and steffy, they are like two dogs with a bone. They aren’t gonna be happy until you’re behind bars.

Sheila: That’s never gonna happen. I’m not going down and neither are you. I appreciate you. You gave me a place to stay. Human contact. And we even had some laughs together, didn’t we? I am not gonna betray that. No one is ever gonna know where I’ve been staying all this time.

Deacon: Biggest mistake I ever made letting you stay here.

[ Laughs ]

Sheila: Oh come on. It wasn’t all bad, was it, daddy?

Finn: I’m surprised you wanted to come here after what happened in the alley.

Steffy: I like the food. And I’m not gonna give up a single thing that gives me pleasure just because of sheila carter.

Finn: It’s a good answer.

Steffy: But we do have to keep our guard up. Sheila poses a great threat and we have to protect ourselves and our children. But this, the joy that we have, I’m not gonna let sheila take it away from us. I mean, it was quite the bombshell we dropped at forrester, right?

Finn: Yeah. No one was expecting us to say sheila was still alive.

Steffy: I know. I’m just glad mom and dad are out of town. Especially mom. Sheila thought her and my mom were best friends. How are you doing? You haven’t said much about knowing that your– your birth mother is still alive. How is it affecting you?

Finn: Well, you know how I feel about sheila. She shot me, steffy. And I possibly may have been able to get over that, but she shot you, the woman that I love more than anything in this world.

Avoiding triggers, but still

get migraine attacks?

Sheila: [ Deep sigh ] So what are you thinking? Or do I even wanna know?

Deacon: I was just thinking about this smoking hot redhead who zeroed in on me at work and then followed me back here for the hottest hookup ever.

Sheila: Oh, finally. You finally admitted it.

Deacon: You know, sheila, I have become oddly used to you. I’m gonna miss having you around.

Sheila: I know. I– I’ve never had many friends, deacon, and you’ve been a good one.

Deacon: Be careful out there.

Sheila: Don’t worry, I’m– I’m gonna be fine.

Deacon: I don’t know, babe. Something tells me that this is gonna be the last time I see you without bars between us.

Sheila: Well, I wouldn’t put your money on that. I’m not going back to prison.

Deacon: I hope not.

Sheila: I guess this is it. Go your way and I go mine.

Deacon: Do you have any idea where you’re headed?

Sheila: It’s probably best if you don’t know.

Deacon: Yeah. Good luck, sheila.

Sheila: I’ll take it.

[ Door closes ]

Brooke: If sheila’s still alive, where has she been this whole time?

Hope: Maybe some out of the way motel.

Liam: It’d kinda have to be that. Right? ‘Cause, I– I can’t imagine anybody wanting to harbor sheila carter. At this point, everybody knows how dangerous she is.

Carter: Maybe some old prison pal.

Eric: Could be any of the above. She’s very resourceful.

Brooke: And desperate. I mean, you’d have to be to do something as stomach-churning as cutting off your own toe.

Steffy: I’m so impressed with you the way you figured out sheila faked her own death.

Finn: It was nothing really. I just was falling a hunch.

Steffy: It’s crazy to think that she’s still out here doing what? Planning what?

Finn: Hey, the cops are on it now. Okay. They’re gonna ramp up a search. They’re gonna get her.

Steffy: When I think about everything she put us through, the shooting, holding you captive. And I thought I lost you forever.

Finn: You feel that? It’s me. I’m right here. It all worked out.

Steffy: Thank god. I mean, when I heard your voice in monaco and I saw you near that church.

Finn: Steffy!

Steffy: I knew I got my miracle.

[ Church bell ringing ]

Finn: I missed you so much.

Steffy: You’re alive. You’re alive.

Finn: Nothing was gonna stop me from getting back to you. When sheila was holding me hostage, I knew that I had one job and that was to get my strength back so I could get home to you, to our family. Nothing in this world can even come close to how much I love you. Okay? And I hope those are happy tears.

Steffy: [ Chuckles ] They definitely are. Ugh, mascara on me. I love you. I’m gonna go check my mom, give her a call. Okay? I’ll be right back.

Liam: Yeah.

Steffy: But I love you. That was really sweet.

Steffy: Yeah, mom. I’m– I’m glad that you got some time away and you know, you’re figuring things out. Just gotta go through it and know that, like, I completely understand where you’re coming from and know that– oh my– oh my gosh. Oh my goodness. I am– I’m so– I am so sorry. I– wow. Mom, I’ll call you back. I’m so sorry. Did I get that on you? I got it on me.

Sheila: No, no, no.

Steffy: No, let me just see. I just wanna check. I feel terrible. I’m so so–

Steffy: [ Gasps ] Sheila!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Deacon: So, you guys really think sheila faked her own death?

Steffy: Sounds crazy, I know.

Finn: But nothing’s adding up.

Deacon: What’s not adding up? I- chief baker closed the case, her official death certificate said mauled by a bear.

Finn: Think about it. It’s way too convenient.

Steffy: Sheila’s wanted for double attempted murder and then she just winds up dead? And the only thing they find is her toe.

Deacon: Hope told me that they found a bunch of other stuff up there, too, though.

Finn: Yeah, but not enough. And there should have been more blood. There– there’s a lot that doesn’t make any sense.

Deacon: So you guys are serious. You– you really think she’s still alive?

Steffy: We’re certain of it.

Katie: Well. Hello there.

[ Laughs ]

Carter: Sorry.

Katie: No, no, don’t– don’t apologize. This might be the best thing that’s happened to me all day.

Carter: Happy to oblige. Although, I don’t know what that says about your day. Must have been pretty uneventful.

Katie: Not anymore.

Liam: Oh, good. I heard you were working from here. Listen, we gotta talk about this buyout. I’m starting to question whether it’s a good idea. So, is wyatt, obviously, you know, you have the final say, but we kind of need a decision today. And you’ve been a little M.I.A. Oh, no, dad. Not the necklace. What’s going on with you?

Liam: Dad, why are you wearing the sword necklace?

Bill: Katie put you up to this?

Liam: Katie? No.

Bill: Well, she was here earlier. Asked the same question.

Liam: Yeah, I imagine she did. It’s not exactly a good omen.

Bill: It’s just a piece of jewelry.

Liam: No, it’s not– it’s not a piece of jewelry. It’s a metaphor for your self-destructiveness.

Bill: Dramatic, don’t you think?

Liam: I’m not being– when you wear that thing on your neck, it means you’re in scorched earth mode. So what gives? What’s going on with you? ‘Cause I thought you were done with it forever.

Bill: Forever’s a long time. And I don’t have to explain myself to you.

Liam: Okay. I– all right. Fine. So katie was here. Why? What happened?

Katie: You’re actually just the man I was looking for. Justin says these contracts are urgent, so I volunteered to be the messenger. Glad I did. I got more than what I bargained for. Not complaining.

Carter: I left my bag here, and I thought I had the place to myself, but I am glad you’re still here.

Katie: Me too.

Carter: I spoke to brooke earlier and she said you overheard me singing your praises to bill.

[ Sighs ]

Deacon: There was a full investigation, right? The dna matched the blood at the scene.

Steffy: No one’s disputing that.

Deacon: Okay. So what has you convinced that she’s still alive? Oh, come on. No. Is that her toe? Oh, god. I need a beer. You want one?

Steffy: No, thank you.

Deacon: How the hell’d you get that, anyway?

Finn: Detective sanchez gave it to me.

Deacon: What, as a souvenir?

Steffy: Finn was suspicious. Now, so am I.

Deacon: So you’re just walking around with this toe, knocking on doors?

Steffy: Only your door, deacon. We’re here to see if you could help us find sheila carter. You didn’t live this strong, this long to get put

Liam: I take it your visit with katie didn’t go the way you hoped. Listen, I’m sure you don’t want to talk about it, but I’m here.

Bill: Yeah, there’s not much to talk about. It’s as simple as this. I poured out my soul to katie, and she wants nothing to do with me.

Liam: That must have been really hard. I’m sorry.

Bill: Katie’s moving on. With carter walton.

Katie: I deserve better. That’s what you said to bill.

Carter: I’m not wrong.

Katie: No, you’re not. It’s taken me a while to… really accept that I deserve more than what bill is capable of giving me. It’s hard, you know, with the child and we have so much history.

Carter: It’s natural to want to make it work for your son, for your family.

Katie: Until it becomes abundantly clear that it is not going to work and it never will.

Carter: Wow. Sounds like you’ve come to terms with it. That’s a big step.

Katie: You’re making my happiness your business?

Carter: You heard that too, huh?

Katie: I did.

Carter: Is that okay?

Katie: Yeah, it’s more than okay. It felt really powerful and reassuring. Especially in that moment. Bill had literally just finished pleading with brooke to give him another chance and you– you saw what he was doing and you stood up for me.

Carter: Defending a fascinating, talented, beautiful woman like you. It’s easy.

Deacon: Isn’t that enough proof? I mean, you got a gross decomposing toe. I mean, it’s a pretty good indication she’s no longer with us.

Finn: It certainly appeared sheila was mauled by a bear.

Steffy: You know, she was up in the sierra mountains based on some security footage.

Deacon: Right. Right. They– they found her car up there, didn’t they?

Steffy: Yeah. They found a cell phone, id.

Finn: Some of sheila’s hair, some blood spattered clothing.

Deacon: Yeah, I heard the crime scene photos were pretty gnarly.

Finn: Not as bad as I would have expected. A vicious animal attack like that? There should have been more remains left behind.

Deacon: Jeez, that bear must have been famished, getting ready for winter hibernation. I’m sorry that I– I didn’t mean any disrespect by that, I know that was your mother.

Finn: My birth mother.

Deacon: Right. I just, you know, still, what she did to you two…

Steffy: It’s difficult because we didn’t get justice for her crimes.

Finn: And that’s what we think sheila’s motive is.

Steffy: It’s either die or go to prison.

Finn: That’s why we have this little investigation of our own.

Deacon: You guys think the cops will reopen this thing?

Finn: Depends.

Deacon: On?

Steffy: If we can prove sheila’s not really dead.

Deacon: What? Why do you think she’s still kicking it? I mean, what prompted this?

Steffy: Deacon, you know sheila. Who else would cut off their toe and fake their own death?

Bill: You know what? I am so tired of this. Everybody just betraying me. You’re challenging me. Katie is moving on with carter walton. Brooke welcomes forrester back for more– more pain and suffering and disappointment.

Liam: For the record, they’re not back together.

Bill: You know what? I don’t give a damn. I’m tired of it, liam. Been stabbed in the back. Even justin, my best friend, my right hand man, my brother. My brother stabbed me in the back. And now what? Working at forrester.

Liam: Hey, dad. You have a right to disappointment. And I know you probably don’t want to hear this, but it is actually okay to feel sorry for yourself once in a while.

Bill: No, liam, I don’t want to hear it. And I’m not feeling sorry for myself. I’m giving you factual information, but you keep it up and you’re going to be feeling sorry for yourself.

Liam: All right. Okay, fine, fine. Then as your son. Stop it. Stop it. ‘Cause all this? This is ego. It’s your ego talking. And when your ego’s in charge, you get into trouble.

Katie: I believe you when you say wonderful things to me. With bill, I was– I was never always completely sure. I, uh, saw him earlier, he made– he made another impassioned plea for us to reconcile.

Carter: What’d you say?

Katie: I told him the truth. That I’m moving on. It’s hard.

Carter: Which part?

Katie: The part where I married a man, and I had a child with him, and I gave my heart to him, and he says that my sister is the true love of his life.

[ Sighs ] Gosh. Do you think there’s a man in los angeles who doesn’t want brooke? Who isn’t in love with brooke? Brooke, brooke, brooke, brooke, brooke. I mean, I love my sister, but do you think that there’s just one man, just one man who doesn’t want her, who isn’t in love with her and who might want someone like me?

Carter: [ Clears throat ]

Katie: [ Laughs ]

Deacon: So you really think she cut off her own toe?

Finn: I know that sounds crazy. And–

Deacon: Well, you know when I hear crazy, I mean, who else are you going to think of but sheila? You just seem very convinced.

Liam: You know, it was just something that was bugging me. This feeling that I had. Something wasn’t right. So I got detective sanchez to bring me up some evidence so I can take a closer look at it.

Steffy: We put her toe under a microscope.

Finn: There is no sign that a wild animal clawed or chewed this off. There’s no sign of traumatic amputation. This was cut cleanly. Evenly sliced with a sharp knife to make it look like it was torn off.

Steffy: By none other than nurse sheila carter. Unless she had help from someone else. ()

Liam: All right. One more reality check. Katie is not leaving your family. She’s a loving, devoted mother and you’re a damn good father. But you have to accept the fact that you two have not been an item in a long time.

Bill: Not officially, maybe. But it’s always been right there under the surface. Just a matter of when, not if. Everybody knew that we would end up together.

Liam: You really think that?

Bill: Katie or brooke. I was meant to be with one or the other.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah, but you can’t have both.

>Bill: You know me pretty well, liam. And you know that I don’t like when somebody tells me what I can and cannot have in my business affairs or affairs of the heart. Have I made mistakes? Sure. We all have. But I have loved them, I have cared for them, I have protected them, and this is what I get in return? Nobody betrays my trust and nobody dismisses me. I am dollar bill spencer.

Liam: Hey, hey, hey. You’re fired up. I see it. I get it. But promise me you’re not going to do something drastic.

[ Exhales ]

[ Clearing throat ]

Carter: Sorry, I have something in my throat. Let’s run that back. So you’re looking for a guy who’s not in love with your sister?

Katie: Yeah! Just one small little thing. Is that too much to ask?

Carter: No, not at all. And I want to go on record to say that although I respect brooke, I admire her, I appreciate her, I enjoy working with her, but that’s it, that’s as far as it goes.

Katie: Are you sure? Are you sure you’ve never been interested in brooke?

Carter: No.

Katie: Positive?

Carter: No, not once. The only logan I have my eye on is the one I’m staring at. You’re amazing, katie. I mean, you’re vibrant, you’re genuine, you’re smart. I mean, you’re funny. And you’re beautiful. Very beautiful.

Deacon: Come on, there’s no way that–

Finn: I can tell you’re freaking out, deacon.

Deacon: No– me? I–

Steffy: I mean, we’re freaking out, too. We thought sheila was dead.

Finn: We had convinced ourselves that we were free of sheila and all of her threats. I mean, but now we’re sure she’s alive.

Deacon: Have you taken this theory to detective sanchez? And have you mentioned this to the cops?

Steffy: No, we came here first.

Deacon: Wh– here? Why?

Steffy: Because you and sheila have a history.

Deacon: Oh. Come on, no.

Finn: As soon as sheila came back to town, hope and I saw you with her at el giardino. You guys were clearly an item.

Deacon: Okay, that was ages ago, and I would hardly call us an item. Look, she’s got a very strong personality and can be a little difficult to say no to.

Steffy: We just thought sheila might have some help pulling this all off.

Finn: And what we do know is she has very few friends in L.A. And she would probably be reaching out to someone at some point.

Steffy: Yeah, she has no one to turn to… except you. So if you know anything, where she’s been, where she’s going, it’d be great if you can tell us.

Finn: Having information not coming forward, that would create a hell of a lot of problems.

Steffy: I’m not trying to accuse you of anything, but if you could just shed a light on her whereabouts, if you know anything.

Deacon: Look, if sheila’s still alive, I have no idea where she is.

Finn: Okay. Let us know if she reaches out. Sheila’s a dangerous woman. None of us are safe with her on the loose.

Deacon: I know.

Steffy: Thanks.

Finn: There’s just no way a bear could have done this. It was sliced right off and then these cuts were made to look like a tear. But they’re too clean. They’re– they’re too precise.

Steffy: Only a demented woman like sheila carter will go to such unthinkable lengths.

Finn: Well, she had to make sure the police would stop looking for her. And she did. That’s why detective sanchez brought me all this. Case closed.

Steffy: Except based on what you found out, sheila is not dead at all.

Deacon: Where the hell did you go, sheila? What are you up to now?

Carter: Hey, brooke.

Brooke: Hi.

Carter: Hi. Oh, wow. That’s a great shot of you and ridge.

Brooke: Yeah. It was a beautiful day.

Carter: Listen, about the wedding that didn’t happen, I haven’t spoken to ridge, but when I see him, I–

Brooke: I don’t think you’ll see him any time soon.

Carter: Oh?

Brooke: He left to take some much needed time.

Carter: Of course. For what it’s worth, while I have great respect for taylor, I’m hoping those annulment papers that I had to deliver to you will have been a waste of time.

Bill: What are you doing here?

Katie: Oh, I’m just grabbing some stuff for will.

Bill: He’s home?

Katie: No, I’m sending him a care package, and he’s been wanting these things, so. Are you okay? You don’t seem like yourself. Bill, no.

Carter: So where do things stand with you and ridge?

Brooke: Nothing’s been decided yet. He’s gone away to make some decisions about his life. I told him I needed somebody who was completely committed to me. And I just couldn’t do that back and forth thing with taylor anymore. So, you know, we’ll see how things are when he gets back. But in the meantime, I know that there’s somebody else reevaluating their life. My sister. Donna and I have been talking with katie, and we just get the feeling that your friendship with her has evolved into more than just a friendship. Am I right?

Bill: It’s just whiskey, katie, relax.

Katie: I’m not talking about the drink. You’re wearing your sword necklace again. Why?

Bill: Why? I feel like I need the extra protection.

Katie: Protection from what?

Bill: Do you really care?

Katie: Yes, of course I care.

Bill: Just not enough to take me back.

Katie: Bill.

Bill: Yeah, forget it. I’m just not in a– in a good place, not making the best life decisions.

Katie: Dark place? I’m assuming this has to do with brooke?

Finn: So, we need to go through that evidence very carefully with our theory in mind that sheila wasn’t mauled by a bear.

Steffy: Showing us it was a calculated move on sheila’s part, and that’s how she ended the manhunt.

Finn: Believe me, I would love to be wrong about this. All right, the thought of having to deal with my mother again and the threat that she still poses to our family if she’s alive and out there? I tried to tell myself that that was all behind us, but I– I just–

Steffy: Something was nagging at you. How sheila supposedly died.

Finn: Look, we don’t have any time to waste. For our safety. If what we think is true, sheila is as dangerous now as she ever was. Maybe even more. (Birds chirping)

Katie: Bill, what’s going on with you? You’re– you’re in this dark place, you– you’re wearing your sword necklace, which is a harbinger of things to come, usually bad things.

Bill: I told you, I feel like I need the extra protection from myself.

Katie: I know that this has to do with brooke and I also know what you said to her at her house the other day and it doesn’t matter how I heard. The point is–

Bill: The point is I have been making such bad decisions for so long. Wanting what I shouldn’t want when what I really needed was you. I don’t know how many ways to say it, katie. I don’t know how many times I need to apologize. I have been a colossal ass. My own worst enemy. But I really do need you, especially now. I– I hate feeling this way. I hate what my life has become.

Katie: Do you know what I hate? I hate that my ex-husband, the father of my child, and the man that I gave my whole heart to loves my sister.

Bill: You’re not hearing a word that I’m saying. So you want to give up on me? On our family? For carter walton?

Brooke: Carter, I have tremendous respect for you, but I can’t help but look out for my sister.

Carter: That’s what good sisters do.

Brooke: I know she’s a grown woman and she can take care of herself, but she’s been through a lot. And I’m not just talking about bill.

Carter: Her heart transplant.

Brooke: She never mentions it. She just goes about life like we all do.

Carter: I totally understand, you don’t even have to explain.

Brooke: There is something I do have to explain. The day of ridge and taylor’s wedding, you were at my house overhearing bill and me talking and then katie and bill talking.

Carter: How do you know that?

Brooke: Because katie told me.

Carter: What? How– how did she find out?

Brooke: Because she overheard you and bill talking. But more importantly, she heard you say all these wonderful things about her.

Carter: I meant every word.

Deacon: That’s definitely not mine. I’m not sure if you’re coming back, sheila. I hope you don’t, but you’re definitely not getting traced back here when you get busted.

Steffy: Okay, we know from the convenience store footage that sheila was in the sierra mountains.

Finn: And the abandoned car with the fingerprints that the park ranger found.

Steffy: It was all part of her twisted plan.

Finn: Well, she needed to drop out of sight permanently. Best way to do that is to make people think you’re dead.

Steffy: Okay, what do we have here? Sheila’s I.D., Busted phone from the alleged bear attack.

Finn: Check this out. Sheila’s hair. The roots are still attached, which would indicate that it was pulled out, not cut, which would be in line with an attack.

Steffy: Or she yanked it out herself.

Finn: The whole scene is circumstantial if you think about it. Everything here indicates a bear attack. When you look at every single item individually and know who you’re dealing with? I wish it wasn’t the case, but I feel even more confident now that our theory is correct. Sheila isn’t dead.

Steffy: No. She staged her own death. (Vo) no matter what type of severe asthma you have,…

Brooke: I don’t mean to make you feel self-conscious, I don’T. It’s just– I mean, I’m sure it’s very surprising for you to find out that katie overheard your conversation with bill and some of those things she passed on to donna and me.

Carter: No, I’m not– I’m not self-conscious. I know how close katie is to her sisters.

Brooke: Okay, well, the logans look out for each other. At least we try to.

Carter: Katie is a remarkable, intelligent, beautiful woman. She deserves a lot better than bill spencer.

Bill: Do you have any idea what it does to me every time you push me away? I have practically gotten on my knees and begged you for another chance. And when you reject–

Katie: I’m not rejecting you. I’m just trying to tell you that what you say you want can’t happen for reasons that you know.

Bill: I’ll tell you what I know. What I know is that everyone in my life has abandoned me. Even justin, a so-called best friend, turned his back on me. Don’t turn your back on me, katie. We can start over. I promise you, I promise you that I will make you the center of my world. You will never have any reason to feel anything but my commitment and my devotion. It will be you. You and only you. I swear that’s how it will be. Just give me one chance to prove it.

Deacon: She had so much crap here. Ugh. Okay, it’s called self preservation. Sheila, I mean, you know, that’s something you know all about, right? Just gotta cut all ties with her before anyone realizes she didn’t kick the damn bucket.

Steffy: My god, finn, when I think what this means.

Finn: Look, I wish I was wrong, but it all adds up. The question now is where is she? Is she in L.A? Did she go on the run, did she sneak across the border?

Steffy: If it weren’t for you and hayes, I think she’d be long gone. But we know how obsessed she is with her son and her grandson. I think she’s crazy enough to stay here in L.A.

Finn: Well, if she is, where would she be?

Steffy: I don’t know. But there’s someone, I think, who can give us answers. With metro…

Brooke: I’ve worked hard to try to keep katie and bill’s family together. But you know what? After some of the things that bill has said to me, I think it’s better that katie actually moves on with somebody that I admire and respect. Well, you did have your little slip up with quinn. But I know you’re a man of integrity.

Carter: I appreciate that. But to be honest, I don’t know where katie and I stand. We haven’t really even started yet.

Brooke: I have a good feeling about you two.

Carter: That’s kind, but I’m not naive. I know bill’s a man who doesn’t like to lose, and he’s trying to get in katie’s head, convince her to come back to him.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Bill: Whatever it takes for you to trust me again, tell me and I’ll do it. Whatever it takes for you to come back to me.

Katie: Bill, we will always be a family and I will always care about you. But anything more than that, it’s just– what you’re asking is not possible. I’m moving on.

Bill: With carter?

Katie: Oh. I– I don’t know. I– I don’t know. I– all I do know is that he is kind, and he’s sincere, and he’s honest, and when I– when I look in his eyes, I can see that he’s telling the truth.

Bill: Truth. The truth is that I have done everything I can to reach you. And yet you won’t let me back in. And that frustrates me. And more than that, it hurts me. But it also makes me angry. Angry at myself for losing you. Angry at the situation we find ourselves in, where you’re wanting to move on. But just know this. I will not give up. I will not lose you to carter walton or anyone else. I do not lose. I need you. I need you now, my katie. Like never before.

[ Knock on door ]

Deacon: Seriously? Come on. Just a second. Be right there. Steffy.

Steffy: Hi.

Deacon: Finn. Uh.

Finn: Hey.

Deacon: Hey. Hey, guys, I’m sorry, I’ve gotta be at work in a few minutes.

Steffy: No problem. It’ll only take a minute.

Deacon: Okay, uh, what’s this about?

Steffy: Well, first of all, we want to thank you. We owe you a huge debt of gratitude.

Finn: Yeah, if it weren’t for you that awful night in the alley–

Deacon: No, no–

Finn: If you hadn’t found us–

Deacon: Please, guys, look, I’m just happy you’re both fine.

Steffy: Yeah. We’re still trying to put everything that happened behind us.

Deacon: Yeah, I know what you mean. I– I’m trying to forget it myself.

Steffy: But we can’t forget. Not anymore.

Deacon: Not anymore. What do you– what do you mean?

Steffy: This is gonna sound crazy, but we discovered some really unsettling things and we believe… no, we know. We know sheila’s alive. She faked her own death. She wasn’t mauled by a bear. Sheila is alive. Sheila carter is alive.

Steffy: You asked detective sanchez to bring the evidence from sheila’s bear attack because you think she’s still alive?

Finn: But it never felt right. It’s too easy. Sheila commits these heinous crimes, escapes and goes off into the woods and gets mauled by a bear? Case closed? No, steffy. I think she faked her own death and this toe could prove it.

Sheila: So, let’s just face it, little piggy, as much as I miss you, I’d sacrifice anything to be close to my son. Anything.

[ Door closing ]

Hope: How can you show your face around here after what you did? You really are shameless, aren’t you?

Hope: Are you going to say anything?

Thomas: Are you willing to listen?

Hope: You’re lucky I am even speaking to you. I believed in you, thomas. Our son believed in you.

Thomas: Just let me explain.

Sheila: Hey. Some fresh air to clear your mind. Chase all those demons out of your head.

Deacon: That depends. What’s this look on your face here?

Sheila: It’s a smile.

Deacon: Yeah, for most people. But with you, it’s a big flashing warning sign. What’s going on?

Sheila: I’m counting my lucky stars. You know, check that, because I know you’d like this one better. I’m counting my lucky toes. All nine of them.

Steffy: Did you tell the police you think sheila’s still alive?

Finn: No, not till I can confirm it. I want to check my theory.

Steffy: Babe, what she did to us was horrible. And I know it feels as though we didn’t get any justice, but, the authorities already looked into this and the evidence points to a bear attack. I mean, they found her id, bloody hair, bloody clothes, the toe.

Finn: And that’s all. If she was attacked by a wild animal, don’t you think that they would have found a little bit more than a toe? Her middle toe? See to me, this looks too clean. I want to take another look at it. But this does not look to be the result of an animal attack.

Steffy: You really think sheila carter cut off her own toe?

Finn: You always told me she was capable of anything. She knew that we would never stop looking for. Faking her own death was the only way out. Christmas trees try so hard.

Hope: Why should I listen to anything you have to say? All you’ve done is lie.

Thomas: Hope, my family was finally coming together. Something I’ve always wanted, my parents were getting so close.

Hope: So if only there was some way to get rid of my mother and to turn ridge against her once and for all.

Thomas: How many times has he left her? How many years would this go on over and over again? All the while, my whole family and my mother suffering.

Hope: Your family is suffering now. Did you even take into account how difficult that must have been for steffy to stand up to you for your own son? And I know stepfy wanted your parents back together just as much as you did. She wasn’t going to trick ridge into marrying taylor.

Thomas: My dad wanted to marry my mother because he loves her. There was no trick. Okay, so that’s not fair.

Hope: Fair? Fair. I’ll tell you what’s not fair. You sabotaging my mother’s marriage. You using our son.

Thomas: I never wanted douglas involved in any of this. And, you know, with my dad and your mother not being together, it means that deacon actually–

Hope: Oh, stop. Would you stop trying to spin this?

Thomas: I was trying to do something good, hope, and I realized nothing good came from it. My family won’t speak to me, my sister, my father, my mother, my grandfather. Nobody. But I can handle all of that. If I could just get you to listen to me. You don’t have to forgive me. You don’t have to fully understand why I did it. But at least listen to me. Because we’ve gotten so close, hope, you and I. We’ve been working together, raising douglas. And I saw this future right in front of me, of a whole family. A mother and father together, yeah, but also me with my son in the home. And you were a part of that picture, too. And now it’s all falling apart. But what I don’t want to fall apart is our connection or my relationship with my son.

Deacon: Look, I– I care about you. I do. I gave you a place to hole up. But you got to face facts.

Sheila: You need to stop looking for catastrophes everywhere.

Deacon: That’s the only way this ends with lights and sirens and cops busting through that door.

Sheila: The landlord’s not going to like that one.

[ Sighs ]

Deacon: Look, there’s another alternative here. You can turn yourself in. Hear me out. Look, you didn’t kill anyone. It’s attempted murder. You wouldn’t be in prison–

Sheila: Absolutely not.

Deacon. You’re going to get caught. You’re going to take me down with you.

Sheila: Okay, so that’s what this is really about. You. You don’t care what happens to me, no. You’re just looking out for yourself.

Deacon: You’re damn right I am. I should have been from the beginning. You’re just lucky I– that I’m a sucker for a good sob story.

Sheila: Mm. Did I not show you? I love gratitude.

Deacon: Oh, damn it, sheila. Come on. You’re smarter than this. I know you are.

Sheila: I’m not giving up. I didn’t cut off my toe and go through that excruciating pain just so I could limp around the rest of my days in a prison cell.

Steffy: It doesn’t bother you?

Finn: No. I’ve seen worse in the E.R.

Steffy: No, I mean, it’s– it’s your birth mothers toe.

Finn: She shot me, steffy. She shot you, too. She held me hostage and let my family think I’m dead. If she’s out there, I need to know. But look, if– if this is too much for you, I can just…

Steffy: No, we do– we need to know. So what are you thinking? Is your hunch right? Finn.

Finn: I’m positive. There was no attack. She did this to herself.

Steffy: Sheila’s alive. I’m sholeh and I lost 75 pounds with golo.

Hope: You want me to understand what you did? How you could be so heartless?

Thomas: That’s what I’m trying to tell you. It wasn’t heartless, it wasn’t malicious. I was trying to protect my mother from all the pain she’s been through.

Hope: Do you ever wonder what this plan might do to our son? That call to cps might have been fake, but the visit wasn’T. Douglas was questioned. He could have been taken away.

Thomas: No. Douglas was perfectly safe, and they never would have found anything.

Hope: That is not the point, thomas. The call should have never been made in the first place. You should have never asked your son to lie again when he found out the truth. And he understands that. Why don’t you? Now he doesn’t even want to see you anymore.

Thomas: No, I don’t believe that.

Hope: Yeah, it’s true. And that is your doing. All he wanted was a relationship with you, thomas. He loves you, and you are the one destroying that.

Thomas: I did everything I could to keep douglas out of this. I never wanted him involved. And, you know, if donna hadn’t told him that he can–

Hope: Stop, stop, stop! Thomas, this is on you. You were the one who put him in the middle of this. Sometimes I don’t even understand how he could be related to you because he is nothing like you. He is brave, he is compassionate, and he is not afraid to tell the truth. Unlike you, whose first instinct is to always lie, no matter what the consequences, no matter who gets hurt. No matter what destruction.

[ Sighs ] I can’t believe I ever trusted you again.

Sheila: Finn and hayes, they gave me the courage to do what I did. Do you know, the excruciating agony that I went through. I cut my own toe off, deacon, to stay out of prison. I am not turning myself in.

Deacon: You don’t get it, do you? You are putting us both in jeopardy. Sheila, this is the end of the line. There’s no way out.

Sheila: There is–

Deacon: No, there is not a way out! There’s not. Not this time. Look, I’m sorry. If you don’t turn yourself in, I’m going to do it.

Sheila: You would not do that to me.

Deacon: This has to end. It’s time.

Finn: So you agree, the photo I sent you? Yeah, that’s what I see, too. Thank you, jim. Yeah. Sheila didn’t lose that toe from a bear attack.

Steffy: Are you sure?

Finn: Come see for yourself. An animal attack would cause more tissue damage. That kind of injury would result from ripping and tearing. Take a look at the base of the toe. See the straight cuts? There’s no teeth marks. There’s no other signs of trauma. She amputated the toe and she tried to make it look like a bear attack.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Oh, my god, you’re right. Sheila did this so she could get away.

Finn: Bloody clothing and a staged campsite weren’t enough. She needed to give the police and our family some tangible evidence, proof that she was dead. But this. This. This only proves how truly diabolical she is.

Steffy: Oh, finn. Smooth dark chocolate, refreshing peppermint,

Thomas: I didn’t– I didn’t manipulate you, hope. Our connection is real.

Hope: And if it is, you used it against me to make me believe that you had changed. I put my faith in you.

Thomas: You gave me a chance to prove myself. And I did.

Hope: And you threw it away. I mean… we were a team. At work, as parents. I defended you to my mother, to liam. But they were right about you all along.

Thomas: No, they wouldn’t give me the benefit of the doubt. And you did.

Hope: I wish I hadn’T.

Thomas: Please don’t give up on me.

Hope: How can you even ask that of me after everything you’ve done? You know, I can’t believe it fell for it. But, you were– you were real convincing. You were real sincere and earnest. You know, maybe I… could have stopped my mom’s heartbreak. Or my son’s disappointment. If I had just trusted myself. Like when you took douglas to stay at eric’s, right? He was happy. He was having a good time, so I went along with it. Because I cared about my son’s happiness. And so, I spent time there. And more and more, our lives became intertwined. And I let my guard down. I did. And then you try to kiss me.

Thomas: That kiss wasn’t calculated. You crossed a line.

Thomas: Look, I thought that we– we weren’t going to talk about that again.

Hope: Ah ha! That’s until I found out all the other horrible things you’ve been up to.

Thomas: Me trying to kiss you wasn’t a horrible thing. It just happened. And excitement in the moment and out of love. And like I’ve told you before. Unlike other men. I can only love one woman. And I love you.

Hope: And I… love… liam. Never you. Especially after this betrayal. You know, I thought I knew you. I thought we were friends. And yeah, sure… yeah. You’re a talented designer, but I can’t even fathom working with you now.

Thomas: Please, don’t say that, you don’t mean that.

Hope: I do. I used to see this man who was trying so hard to grow and to better himself and to be worthy of his son’s love. But now? All I see… is a sad, pathetic man who kept me from beth. Who didn’t care about his son’s safety. So he called cps on himself. And for what?

Thomas: Hope, wait, you did–

[Door slamming] You didn’t give me a chance to explain.

Sheila: You should know better than to threaten me.

Deacon: I’m not threatening you, I’m trying to reason with you. Where the hell do you think you’re going anyway? That stupid disguise isn’t going to save you. Your time is up.

Sheila: Never!

Deacon: Crazy!

Steffy: What are we going to do? What– what are we going to do?

Finn: We have to tell the police.

Steffy: If sheila is still alive she’s had months to cover her tracks.

Finn: I know. I know.

Steffy: We thought she was gone for good. We thought she could never hurt us again.

Finn: She won’T. Okay? I won’t let that happen.

Steffy: Finn, she played us.

Finn: No. She tried. Hey, but we’re on to her now. She thinks that she’s gotten away with this. That gives us the upper hand, right?

Steffy: No.

Finn: Yes. Sheila staged her own death. Sheila’s alive. She can still pay for her crimes.

Steffy: This is your birth mother we’re talking about?

Finn: No, we broke that connection when she pulled out that gun.

Steffy: She shot you, finn.

Finn: She shot you. I am not going to let this go, steffy. Okay? I will find sheila carter. I will not let it rest. And she will go to prison for the rest of her life.

[Steffy gasps]

Deacon: Sheila, this is the end of the line. There’s no way out.

Sheila: There’s always a way out.

Brooke: Must have been really hard for steffy.

Hope: I mean, can you imagine? How long has she been hoping for her parents to get back together? And then they’re finally standing up there at the altar and she has to make the difficult decision to speak up. I mean, honestly, I’m– I’m proud of her.

Brooke: I am too. It took guts for her to tell the truth, even though taylor wasn’t able to.

Steffy: Oh. Hello. Um… hey, so before you start in on me, I just wanna say–

Brooke: Thank you. I wanna thank you for what you did.

Sheila: Oh! Can I do it again?

Deacon: Hm?

Sheila: Come on. Let’s play a game of rummy.

Deacon: No.

Sheila: All right. Then, how about strip poker?

Deacon: No, thanks.

Sheila: Come on. What’s your problem? I’m– I’m just trying to have a little fun.

Deacon: Yeah. Well, the fun can’t continue.

Sheila: What do you mean?

Deacon: We can’t bury our heads in the sand. Your time’s running out, sheila.

Sheila: Time’s running out?

Deacon: Yeah.

Sheila: I’ve got news for you, buddy. Time’s running out for all of us. That’s why we have to make the most of it and have as much fun as we can.

Deacon: Yeah. Shacking up with an escaped convict, that’s– that’s fun? That’s making the most of my life?

Sheila: Well, no, it’s not if you keep turning me down.

Deacon: Sheila, listen to me. We cannot keep pretending that this can continue. It can’T. You’re gonna get busted, especially if you keep going out of here in that disguise. This only ends one way. That’s with you in a prison cell.

Finn: Woman wanted for attempted murder, mauled to death.

[ Knock on the door ]

Sanchez: Dr. Finnegan, it’s detective sanchez.

Finn: Come on in, please. Hey, thank you so much for meeting me.

Sanchez: I gotta admit, I was a bit confused by your message. What is this all about?

Brooke: I realize you were in a tough spot finding out what thomas did.

Hope: It was still so hard to believe after all the hard work he put into bettering himself to gain our trust, and then to fake that phone call to cps to make everyone believe that it was my mother.

Steffy: Yeah. And to drag douglas into it and ask him to lie. I really don’t know what to say. I’m– I’m angry. And I’m– I’m embarrassed. I’m horrified. I mean, my parents should be celebrating their honeymoon right now.

Brooke: I know that’s what you wanted, steffy. But it shows a lot about your character, that you’re willing to tell your father the truth. I don’t know what’s gonna happen between ridge and taylor and me, but it doesn’t matter. I didn’t want him to make a decision based on a lie. And that’s thanks to you. So whatever happens, just know that I’m grateful for that. I’m grateful to you.

Steffy: You don’t need to thank me. Telling the truth, exposing my brother, I did it for my parents. So, when they do get married, there won’t be any lies between them.

Brooke: That’s important for any marriage. But I have to say, I’m not sure they’re gonna get married after this.

Steffy: Well, my father has some deep soul searching to do. That’s why he left town. To gain perspective. Same with my mom. But I will say, thomas’s lie, him framing you, it still doesn’t change how my father feels about my mom or what drove him to propose to her and want a future with her.

Brooke: Hmm. What about taylor’s actions? Or should I say lack of action?

Steffy: Okay.

Hope: I have to admit, steffy, I mean, it is surprising that taylor decided to keep quiet and– and that she thought there was still a chance for the wedding to happen.

Brooke: Ridge found out that thomas manipulated him into thinking that I lied to him, that I called cps and taylor found out about that moments before the wedding. So she had to know that that’s why ridge left me. That’s why he gave me annulment papers. She realized that the ceremony was based on a lie, but she was still willing to go through with it. I’m stunned. I’m really stunned your mother would do something like that.

Sheila: But what is it with you? Why– why is it always doom and gloom?

Deacon: It’s called facing reality. You can’t hide here forever.

Sheila: I agree. I just–

Deacon: How are you not stressed by this?

Sheila: What good would it do for me to stress? I always land on my feet.

Deacon: Maybe in the past when you had ten toes. Might not be so easy this time. Sheila, face it. You’re living on borrowed time. That prison cell is calling.

Sheila: Okay, I get it. I get it. Things they look dire. But you know what? I’ve had my back up against the wall before. They all thought my days were numbered when I was in genoa city. And– and look what happened? I relocated to los angeles. I… I married eric forrester. And when things got bad, did I– did I panic? Did I give in to the negativity? No, I didn’T. I reinvented myself because that’s what I do. And this isn’t gonna be any different, I promise you that, deacon. I am going to walk away a free woman again.

Deacon: You shot two people. You kept a guy prisoner. You drove a woman off a pier. But yeah, freedom’s right around the corner for you.

Sheila: Of course it is. Have you ever heard of a corpse going to prison before? Everyone thinks I’m dead. And if they try to lock up this ghost, I’m gonna float right through those bars again.

[ Sheila laughing ]

Finn: Something’s been bothering me. Haven’t been able to put it out of my mind.

Sanchez: Okay.

Finn: And I know I should just accept it and move on. You know, forget all about it. About her. Did you bring it?

Sanchez: Yeah, I did. And along with everything else pertaining to the case.

Finn: And it’s okay that I have it?

Sanchez: Yeah. Like I said on the phone, case is closed. I mean, they were a little delayed, but the medical examiner wanted this to go to the next of kin or be destroyed. So as sheila carter’s son, this now belongs to you. A mystery!

Steffy: Please don’t judge my mother. She wasn’t planning on keeping the secret.

Hope: Just long enough to marry ridge? I mean, I’m not trying to judge. It just, it does seem a little shady.

Steffy: My brother convinced her not to say anything. And his argument, it’s– it’s valid because he said my father was marrying my mom, not because of the cps call, not because of you, brooke, because he actually loves my mother. So why should we spoil the wedding?

Brooke: Well, thankfully you felt otherwise.

Steffy: Yeah, I do agree with thomas somewhat. I know that my father loves my mom. He assured us. And that’s why he was marrying her. But like I said, I didn’t want them to start a life based on a lie. I didn’t want there to be any secrets between them.

[Phone chimes]

Hopes: No matter what the motivation, I mean, we’re grateful to you. I mean, thank you for speaking up when you did.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah, of course. Um, hey, it looks like I’m gonna have to miss the hope for the future meeting. I– I– you can forward me all the notes if that’s all right.

Hope: Yeah, no, sure. Actually, I mean, it’s starting soon, right? So, I should probably get going.

Steffy: Huh.

Hope: Is everything okay?

Steffy: Uh, yeah. Finn just asked me to go to the hospital. I’m not sure what it’s about.

Brooke: Well, thank you again, steffy. I am very impressed with what you did.

Steffy: I don’t know if that’s a compliment or an insult, but you’re welcome.

Thomas: Brooke.

[ Thomas sighs ] What’s going on?

Sheila: Hey. Thanks to my cleverness, everyone thinks I’m dead and I am out of prison and off everyone’s radar.

Deacon: Thanks to your craziness, you mean. I feel like they should give you a discount on shoes when you have nine toes. I still cannot believe that you did that.

Sheila: You know what? Desperate times call for desperate measures. Nurse sheila’s surgery, it worked out just fine. And that’s all that matters.

Sanchez: You know, forgive me for asking, but what are you hoping to find with this? Closure?

Finn: Maybe.

Sanchez: You said something was bothering you.

Finn: Just how she died. So brutally. I guess I’m just looking for a little more insight into what went down.

Sanchez: Well, I mean, you could, um, call a zookeeper. I’m sure they’d be able to tell you a little bit more about bear behavior than some chomped off toe can.

Finn: That may be right.

Sanchez: I should get going. It was good seeing you. You can give me a call if you have any more questions.

Finn: All right. Thank you.

Sanchez: Mm-hmm. Hello, steffy.

Steffy: Hi, detective sanchez.

Sanchez: You’re doing well?

Steffy: Uh, yeah. I’m fine. Is everything okay?

Sanchez: Yeah. Just dropping something off to your husband. I’m sure he’ll explain.

Steffy: Good to see you. Why was detective sanchez here?

[ Steffy gasps ] Is that– what are you doing with sheila’s toe?

Finn: Hopefully getting some much needed answers. (Birds chirping)

Thomas: You should probably take that photo home with you, by the way. Dad’s not gonna want it around once he’s married to my mother. That’s still happening, by the way, even after this little hiccup.

Brooke: Hiccup? That’s what you’re calling what you did to me and to your father. What is wrong with you, thomas?

Thomas: I don’t know. I– I mean, I had a really screwed-up stepmom when I was a kid.

Brooke: Oh, my god!

Thomas: Other than that–

Brooke: This again? Do you really hate me that much?

Thomas: I don’t hate you, brooke. God, honestly, I don’t even think about you that much.

Brooke: Oh, you do. You think about me all the time. You think about how to ruin my life, how to destroy my marriage.

Thomas: That’s not about you. That’s about my father and wanting what’s best for him and his happiness.

Brooke: Thomas, you don’t give a damn about your father and what he wants. All you want is your little fantasy of having your family back together. Well, you know what? You hurt your father. You betrayed him by destroying our marriage. What has he done for you? He’s done nothing but defend you and love you and supports you. And this is how you repay him? This is how you show your love? What? You have nothing to say?

Thomas: What do you want me to say? Like, I’m sorry. Or I really want you and my dad to live happily ever after? No, I’m not gonna do that.

Brooke: Wow. You have no remorse. None at all.

Thomas: Because I don’t want you with my dad and ruining his relationship with my mom? No, I don’t have remorse for that.

Brooke: I’m really worried about you, thomas.

Thomas: Don’t be. I’m fine.

Brooke: No, you’re not fine. I’m worried about all the things that you’ve done, the lies, the manipulations, the things you’ve done to my daughter, how you treated her, your schemes, your bad choices. You’ve done so much. But this time, you’ve gone too far. You hurt both of your parents, thomas. This time, you’re going to pay for what you’ve done.

Steffy: Answers about sheila from her toe? What exactly are you talking about?

Finn: Something about her death just never sat right with me.

Steffy: I mean, you’re not wrong. I definitely had my questions and concerns, but it seems like all the evidence from the scene adds up. I mean, perfect example. Her toe is proof.

Finn: Chomped off toe as sanchez put it.

Steffy: What exactly are you thinking?

Finn: It’s just a little convenient, right? This idea that sheila was attacked and mauled by a bear? I– I– I avoided bringing it up to you. You just had so much going on with your family.

Steffy: Bringing what up?

Finn: This suspicion I’ve had. I mean, does this look chomped off to you?

Steffy: I don’t– I don’t really know. That’s not my area of expertise.

Finn: I wanna look at it closer, like under a microscope. But just to the naked eye, it’s– it looks too clean.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Are you suggesting sheila isn’t dead?

Finn: I think she’s alive, steffy. Sheila carter is alive.

Sheila: This little piggy went to market. This little piggy stayed home. And this little piggy had roast beef. This little piggy had none. And this little piggy, well, she had to take one for the team. But she’s kept mama out of prison.

Steffy: Is it true? Is sheila alive? Oh, my god.

[ Thomas sighs ]

Thomas: Go ahead, mom. Tell me what you’re thinking.

Taylor: You know what you did was hurtful and destructive, right?

[ Thomas sighs ]

Thomas it was never meant to be hurtful or destructive. Brooke is always in the way when it comes to your relationship with dad. So I removed her. It’s as simple as that.

Steffy: How did that turn out for you, thomas? You must be so pleased. Now, dad went to brooke’S. Mom’s wedding is ruined. Nice job.

Taylor: Well, I played a big part in how today turned out too, because I couldn’t tell ridge the truth before the wedding.

Hope: Steffy’s the one who told the truth.

Brooke: She stood up at the ceremony and she objected.

Liam: And so douglas was the one who told steffy? See, this is what I’m saying. What are a remarkable little kid, right? I mean, to stand up to his own father who he adores to do the right thing.

Hope: If douglas had kept quiet, ridge would probably be married to taylor still thinking that you were the one who called cps on thomas, I mean. And it’s clear that taylor didn’t volunteer that information.

Brooke: Yeah. Goes against her image, don’t you think? Oh, god. It’s all so shocking! Starting with thomas setting me up in the first place.

Hope: Yeah. Well, you were right about him all along.

Brooke: One good thing came out of all of this. Douglas is coming home.

Liam: Finally. I, uh, I hate to ask, but um, thomas isn’t the one bringing him, is he?

Hope: No, no. Eric. And they actually should be here soon. And I– I can’t wait to have douglas home. Finally. I am– I am so proud of that kid. I know how hard that must have been for him to stand up to his father.

Liam: Yeah. Especially ’cause thomas has no trouble intimidating his own son.

Brooke: I’m glad those days are in the past.

Hope: I mean, what happens next? Where do you go from here?

Brooke: I don’t know. I told ridge to just take some time and figure out what he really wants.

Hope: Well, you did the right thing by telling ridge to take stock.

Brooke: Yeah. Just can’t keep doing this back-and-forth thing with taylor. Actually, I– um, I have some unfinished business to take care of.

Hope: Okay.

Liam: Okay.

Hope: Bye.

Taylor: You know, I– I’m supposed to be taylor hayes forrester again right now. What happened to me today? I panicked. I– I couldn’t tell ridge the truth before the wedding.

Steffy: Hey, it’s been a long day. Why don’t we get you out of here? Okay?

Taylor: I need a minute.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Taylor: I love you.

Hope: I feel foolish.

Liam: Why?

Hope: For trying so hard to believe in thomas.

Liam: Oh. Hey, you had a valid reason for wanting to keep the peace, right? Thomas has been making all these noises about custody. He wasn’t– he– he wasn’t bringing douglas home. I mean, it makes sense that you didn’t wanna set him off. For me, it’s different– it’s a different situation. Like, I don’t have to have a filter around thomas.

Hope: Well, I could have listened. There were signs and I just– I didn’t want to see them. Which brings me to something I need to tell you. After the preview at eric’s, thomas tried to kiss me.

Liam: He–

[ Clears throat ] He tried– oh, okay. He tried– son of a–

Hope: Liam, it’s fine. It’s fine.

Liam: Oh my god.

Hope: It is fine.

Liam: Oh my god.

Hope: It’s fine. I shut him down and he backed off. He backed off.

Liam: Yeah. Okay, okay. Okay. Why didn’t you tell me this sooner?

Hope: Because of everything that you just said. I didn’t want to make a bad situation worse. And– and we know how he feels about me. And at that moment, I– I believed him that he misinterpreted the situation. But now, now that he’s been exposed as the manipulator that he still is, I just, I don’t know. And I’m sorry.

Liam: Fine. Fine.

Hope: I’m sorry.

Liam: You’re all right though, right? Like, you’re okay?

Hope: Yes. Yes.

Liam: Okay. Well, hey, if you and douglas are safe, that’s all I care about, so.

[ Knock on the door ]

Hope: Oh!

Eric: Who’s home?

Hope: Douglas! Sweetie! Oh! I’m so happy you’re back. We missed you so much.

Douglas: I missed you guys so much too.

Eric: All right, kiddo. I wanna tell you how happy I was to have you in my house all this time. And how happy I was to get to know you better. You’re a terrific young man. You really are. But now, I agree it’s time for you to come home. Come home to liam and your ma.

Hope: Come here. Oh, welcome home.

Steffy: Done with this day.

Thomas: Mom and dad were minutes away from being married. Something you and I both wanted, and then you just destroyed it.

Steffy: You are unbelievable, thomas. What you did was terrible and wrong! Gosh, I just– I just want my normal brother back.

Thomas: I was just trying to help.

Steffy: Well, now mom is paying the price.

[ Door opens ]

Brooke: What a day.

[ Door closes ]

Taylor: If you’re looking for ridge, he’s– he’s not here.

Brooke: I already saw him.

Taylor: How did that go?

Brooke: I know everything. Just when you think thomas can’t get any more manipulative, he outdoes himself.

Taylor: Yeah. I am– I am very upset with thomas. But more than that, I’m really worried about my son.

Brooke: And you should be because he is sick and he needs help. Serious, professional, objective help. Not from his enabling mother, who seems to be making questionable decisions all on her own. Look, I– I feel sorry for you. I do. Because obviously thomas played you and you found this out, what, minutes before the ceremony? But you didn’t say anything. You were gonna go through with it. You knew what thomas did and you didn’t tell ridge. Hi, I’m jill and I’ve lost 56 pounds on golo.

Douglas: Thanks for letting me stay with you, great-granddad ’cause I had a blast.

Eric: Hey. Come here. Come here. Look, um, you’re a real light you’re smart and you’re funny and you’re brave. And you know right from wrong. Those are all things really important for somebody to have in this life. You’re gonna do fine. So, I’ll see you soon. All right? I’ll get out of your way.

Liam: All right.

Douglas: Bye, great-granddad.

Hope: Thank you for bringing him home.

Liam: Yeah.

Eric: Okay.

Hope: Bye.

Liam: Bye.

[ Both sighing in relief ]

Hope: Well, we are so glad that you’re home.

Liam: Wasn’t the same around here without you, kid.

Hope: Beth is going to be thrilled.

Douglas: Is she here?

Hope: Yes, but she’s napping. So you’ll see her in a little bit. But uh, we actually wanted to talk to you.

Liam: It’s– it’s– it’s nothing big. We just wanna check on you, make sure you’re all right. You’ve, uh– you’ve had a heck of a few days, haven’t you?

Douglas: Yeah, it’s been hard. After I found out what dad did with the voice app, making it sound like grandma brooke called cps, I knew it was wrong. He didn’t want me to tell anyone, but I played the recordings for aunt steffy.

Liam: Well, um, I hope you know that was so brave.

Hope: We’re very, very proud of you.

Steffy: Why do you have to play god with everyone’s lives? Mom and dad, they would’ve gotten back together maybe in a week. Just let it happen organically.

Thomas: Okay. That is called wishful hindsight, steffy. You think that brooke was just gonna stand by while mom and dad play happily ever after? No. She would’ve come in and used every weapon in her arsenal to break them up.

Steffy: I want mom and dad back together. I just don’t want them to start their marriage with a lie.

Taylor: Okay. For– for what it’s worth, I was going to tell ridge that thomas made the call to cps.

Brooke: But after the fact. I mean, what did you think, taylor? Thought after you and ridge were married, ridge wouldn’t care if thomas set me up like that?

Taylor: No, no, no, no. I– I knew that he would care. I knew that it would matter. I just wanted to hold tight to the belief that it wouldn’t matter to us getting married today.

>Brooke: It did matter to ridge. In fact, he felt awful that his son targeted our marriage. And he would’ve felt that way if he married you or not. This whole time, I’ve been trying to grasp why he left me and why he went to you. Why he proposed to you.

Taylor: Okay, hold on a second. Now, I know that you don’t wanna acknowledge this, but ridge and I love each other very much.

Brooke: And I know you don’t wanna acknowledge this. Ridge never would’ve left me to go be with you unless I did something unforgivable. So, your son comes up with a devious little plan to clear the road for you to go straight to my husband. And you knew what was going on the whole time. I expected better from you, taylor. You didn’t live this strong, this long to get put

Douglas: Dad kept saying that no one could know he called cps. I didn’t wanna make him mad, so I tried to keep his secret.

Hope: But you couldn’T.

Douglas: Grandma brooke was being blamed for something she didn’t even do. Just wasn’t right.

Liam: Yeah, but the fact that you know that? It’s awesome.

Douglas: It’s good to be back here. I missed being home with you guys and beth.

Hope: Yeah. Well, we missed you too, honey.

Liam: And wait until beth finds out you’re home. She is gonna flip.

[ Hope laughs ]

Hope: She is going to be so happy, just like us.

Liam: Yes, siree.

[ Hope squeals with excitement ]

Hope: We missed you.

Liam: Family hug.

[ Laughs ]

Steffy: Of course, I want brooke out of dad’s life. Of course, I want that. But I’m not gonna set her up to take the fall for something she didn’t do. Look, why do you always have to relearn this thomas? There are some lines you just don’t cross.

Thomas: Here we go again. Steffy trying on her little halos while thomas is the bad guy. It’s great.

Steffy: Stop it. Stop it. Stop. Stop it. This is not gonna fly with me. It’s not gonna fly. Not with me, not with mom, and especially not with dad. The damage you caused, dad feels betrayed by you. Mom’s heart is shattered again. You may have gotten away with this sick, misguided behavior, but not this time. You’re gonna have to pay the consequences.

Brooke: Ah! I’m just stunned. I really am. For somebody who claims to take the moral high ground. In fact, isn’t that why your kids always thought we were so different? Meanwhile, you were willing to take advantage of thomas’s manipulation and marry ridge and he would be none the wiser.

Taylor: Okay. Well, when you spin it like that, it sounds like I was harboring the secret all along. And that is not true. I– I– I found out five minutes before the ceremony started.

Brooke: Well, then you should have gone straight to ridge to tell him the truth.

Taylor: Well, like I said, I was going to tell him everything. I just–

Brooke: When? When he slipped that ring on your finger? Do you know how deceptive that is?

Taylor: Yeah. It’s a mess. See, today was a day that my kids and I have been wanting for a very long time. And it was– it was finally here. This ful truth came out. I had steffy insisting that I go downstairs and tell ridge right away and thomas telling me to just get married.

Brooke: Well, of course, thomas would give you that self-serving advice.

Taylor: I agreed with both of them. Of course, steffy was right, but thomas made excellent points. He just reminded me that ridge and I weren’t getting married because of anything that you had done. It was because ridge and I belong together. And that’s exactly what happened when ridge came to aspen, brooke. I was done. And– and ridge told me that he was there. It had nothing to do with you. And that he had just seen the light. But I didn’t wanna hear it. I didn’t believe him. So I ran. I ran away from ridge because I was scared I was gonna get hurt again. But– but he chased me. He chased me up to the top of a mountain and he told me that he wanted to be with me. He swore to me it had nothing to do with anything you had done and that he just wanted to be with me. For always.

Brooke: Well, the truth is, ridge left me because he thought that I betrayed him and I didn’T. But you knew the truth. So you had to know that these last few weeks that you were spending with him, it was all based on a lie.

Taylor: So where do things stand between you and ridge?

Brooke: I told him to do some soul-searching. Told him he needed some time to figure out what it is that he truly wanted. And that he couldn’t come back to me until he could completely commit to me. That I can’t do this anymore. I can’t do the back and forth between you, me, and ridge, and sharing his heart with you. I just couldn’T. It wasn’t fair for any of us. And you and I didn’t, and we don’t, deserve that.

Taylor: No.

Brooke: So, what it’s worth, I’m sorry.

Taylor: Thank you. I’m sorry too. I’m so sorry for what my son did to you, brooke. It was– it was awful. And for what? You know, for this? Goodbye, brooke.

Ridge: This whole time. This whole time I thought it was you that called child services. It’s thomas. He’s using– using some kind of app on a kid’s phone. What–

Brooke: How is that even possible?

Ridge: I don’t know. But it is because it sounded just like you. Thomas got what he wanted. I walked away from you. I walked away from our life. And turned to taylor.

Thomas: Hope you’re satisfied, steff. If you just kept quiet, mom and dad would be married right now.

Steffy: Oh, no. Don’t you put this on me. You’re the one who created this mess. Using the app, pinning the cps call on brooke. That was all you.

Thomas: Where the heck’s your loyalty to our family, to our mom and dad?

Steffy: Are you really saying this right now? What you did was awful. Not to mention what you did to your own son.

Thomas: Douglas is fine.

Steffy: No thanks to you. You told him to keep a secret. You put him in a terrible position. What kind of parent does that, thomas?

Thomas: I’ll make it up to him.

Steffy: You say that so cavalierly, like it’s no big deal. It’s a big deal!

Thomas: Steffy–

Steffy: A very big deal.

Thomas: Just leave it alone.

Taylor: Stop. Both of you. I cannot handle this right now.

Thomas: You’re right. You shouldn’t handle this right now. You should be married, if it wasn’t for steff.

Steffy: Me?

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Me, I’m responsible? No. This is all on you. This is your fault.

Taylor: Just stop, you guys, please. You never know, maybe ridge is going to go make things right, and he’ll come back, and we’ll have a wedding.

Steffy: You see what you’re putting our mom through? This could have been one of the happiest days of her life. What you did was so dishonest and terrible, thomas. But the saddest part is I think you would do it all over again if it meant getting your way.

Paul: Becoming a regular here, mr. Spencer. The usual? You okay?

Bill: I need a double, paul, not a shrink.

Paul: Of course.

Bill: They want you to grow, to change. And then you get kicked in the teeth. What are you left with?

Paul: Is that why you have been spending so much time here recently?

Bill: Why not? Nothing and no one to go home to.

Thomas: I did what I did because I wanted mom and dad to be happily married.

Steffy: I wanted that, too. But not like this. Not based on lies and deception. Thomas, I thought you changed. I really did.

Taylor: Yeah. I thought so, too. You know what else I thought? I thought that me not telling your dad wouldn’t make a difference to us getting married. But I was wrong. God, I should have told him. It was a– it was a complete lack of judgment on my part.

Finn: My mom took the kids home. I also spoke with eric and carter. They’re assuming there won’t be a wedding today.

Steffy: We don’t know that for sure. Yes, thomas’ stupid plan threw off the day, but I know how much my father loves my mother. And I am hoping they are going to get married today.

Ridge: Thomas lied. He played all of us. Do you remember in aspen, when I asked you to just say it? Why are you pretending that you don’t know what this is?

Brooke: I don’T.

Ridge: Could 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?

Ridge: And you told me you didn’t know what I was talking about.

Brooke: I didn’t know, ridge. I had no clue.

Ridge: I know that now. But then I–

Brooke: Why didn’t you just tell me? You heard my voice on that call, and I would have told you it wasn’t me. We could have gotten down to the bottom of it. Why didn’t you just believe in me? Hi, I’m angela.

Steffy: Mom, I hope you’re not disappointed in me for telling dad the truth.

Thomas: How could she not be disappointed? You blew everything sky high when you blabbed about it.

Finn: No, no, no. Do not attack steffy for telling the truth. She was trying to fix your mess.

Taylor: No. You were in a– you were in a really difficult spot. And I’m glad you said something when you did because I wasn’t going to. I– I couldn’T. It was– it was our wedding day. Your– your dad told me that– that us getting married had nothing to do with anything that brooke did. And I challenged him.

Steffy: Mom, dad knows you are in a tough position. Because of thomas.

Taylor: You know what? I– I know I was going to tell him everything tomorrow. Now… I don’t know what to expect.

Brooke: Okay. I want to know everything. Don’t leave anything out.

Ridge: Don’t leave anything out. I’ll try. I don’t know that I understand any of this myself.

[ Ridge sighing ] You um– okay. Child services showed up. Right after you said– right after you threatened that you would call them if there was anything going on with douglas.

[ Brooke scoffing ]

Brooke: I was upset and worried when I said that, ridge. I never would have handled things that way. Thomas is your son. I would have come to you first.

Ridge: I know that. You’d think I would know that. You’d think– you’d think there’s a lot of stuff that I would know. Stuff that happens right under my nose. Like watching douglas. I see him every day. I thought he was preoccupied. I thought maybe he was in ble wiomds s ionno um. That’s my boy. That’s my son.

Brooke: Oh, I can’t believe this. I mean, I knew that thomas was somehow involved, but never in a million years would I ever think he would do anything like this.

Ridge: Neither did I.

Brooke: I know you don’t want to hear this, ridge, but your son needs some serious professional help. And I’m not talking about taylor.

Ridge: I agree.

Brooke: You’re just learning about all of this?

Ridge: Douglas found some recordings on his phone and played it for steffy. And– and steffy gave the phone to thomas. And then she told me. And then she stopped the wedding.

Brooke: Oh. Okay. So, steffy and douglas and thomas, they are the ones who knew about this. What about taylor?

Ridge: Taylor knew.

Brooke: Taylor knew. Taylor knew what thomas did and she didn’t tell you the truth?

[ Brooke scoffing ] If you’re on medicare,

Paul: Another one, mr. Spencer?

Bill: Why not? I don’t have anywhere else to be.

Deacon: All by your lonesome, big guy?

Bill: And what do you want, convict?

Deacon: Just being polite to the patrons, especially the ones who’ve been coming in on a regular basis lately. Eating, drinking alone. You know, actually, I’m kind of surprised you even have time to hang out here. I mean, I– I figured you’d be gobbling up some company or, you know, putting some poor, defenseless people out of work.

Steffy: I’m so sorry, mom.

Taylor: I know.

Steffy: It’s– it’s a lot.

Taylor: It is a lot.

Steffy: But we’re going to get through this.

Finn: I just checked with eric and carter. There’s still no word from ridge.

Thomas: Maybe I should go over to brooke’S.

Steffy and taylor: No.

Steffy: No. Plus, dad needs some time to process things.

Thomas: Process whether he’s gonna kick me out of the company or the family?

Taylor: Thomas, your father was very upset. We all were. But you are his son. Ridge is never going to turn his back on you. Okay? But there will be consequences.

Steffy: Thomas, you used this opportunity to tilt things towards mom with dad. They would have found each other. Dad would have proposed to mom despite the cps call. I just wish you had faith in our parents.

Thomas: I guess we’ll find out how much faith I should have had or whether dad was lying to mom all along.

Steffy: We have no idea what’s going to happen, thomas. We don’t know. Why? Because of you. All because of you.

Brooke: How long has taylor known what thomas did?

Ridge: She found out today, just like me.

Brooke: Or before you found out. She was willing to go ahead and marry you without revealing the truth about that cps call.

Ridge: I know how this sounds.

Brooke: Ridge, she deceived you.

Ridge: She swore to me she would tell me.

Brooke: When? When was she going to tell you? When you slipped the ring on her finger, and she became your wife?

Ridge: Okay. The point is the truth is out and I came over here because you were played. I was played. And I came to apologize. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I hurt you.

Brooke: You have been over there living with taylor, sharing her bed while I am here alone and heartbroken, trying to figure out what it is that went wrong, so I could fix it. Why didn’t you just talk to me? Why couldn’t you even give me that decency? Damn it, ridge, please show me some respect.

Ridge: You’re right. I’m sorry. I’m more sorry than I can say.

Deacon: Come on, bill. It’s no fun if you just sit there and let me needle you and you don’t punch back. Or maybe you got something on your mind, and it’s not verbal jabs with a convict. Maybe… maybe big bad bill is in a funk because, wait for it, you’ve been striking out in the romance department, huh? That’s right. I knew you have been sniffing around brooke again. Pretty sure she shut you down. I mean, there’s always katie. Of course, you burned her so many times. I doubt she’ll sign on for another tour of your betrayal and disappointment. I guess there’s only one thing left to do. Welcome to the lonely hearts club, pal.

Thomas: All right, steff. I’m done being bashed by you. You may not like what I did.

Steffy: Doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel, thomas.

Thomas: I just didn’t stand around helplessly while brooke destroyed our entire family again. I exposed her and her wanting to call cps on me.

Steffy: Your lie was exposed, and now dad is furious with you, and we are all in limbo.

Thomas: And you could have just kept your mouth shut and they’d be married right now.

Finn: I’m serious. You need to stop talking to your sister like that.

Thomas: You know what? You have manipulated the situation all along to get them together. Now, you grow a conscience?

Taylor: All she did was speak up, thomas. She told the truth and it was the right thing to do.

Thomas: Even if that means you lose dad forever?

Brooke: Do you know how hard I’ve been hoping and praying for this moment? That you would come back to me and just open up? And we could talk about this and figure it out together? Ridge, I know that you’re sorry. And I know that you didn’t mean to hurt me. But today was your wedding day. And I’m still trying to grapple with that. The fact that you wanted to marry taylor and just throw away everything, everything that we’ve built together. I know that thomas and steffy and taylor still want you over there in their lives. But you know what? I can’t do this. I can’t just open my heart to you. I’m not putting you on the spot. It’s just this back and forth, it has to stop. And you’re the one who has to do it. So, what is it? What do you want with your life? Do you want to marry taylor? Or do you still want a life with me? That’s what you’re going to have to decide. Just know whatever it is, I will always love you.

Ridge: I will always love you. And you’re right. I need to take some time.

Brooke: You’ll always be my everything to me. But there’s something more important. And that is my self-respect. Yeah, it’s really taken a beating over the years, you know? And mostly because I would do anything to get whatever it is that I wanted at that moment, including you. But I’m not like that anymore. Every time I look in the mirror, I like the woman that I see. And I admire her and I respect her. And I won’t take anything less than I deserve. And now it’s your turn to figure it out. Figure out what it is that you admire in yourself, ridge. What you want out of your life. I– I can’t do it for you.

[ Dramatic music ]

Taylor: Ridge, please say something.

Thomas: Dad.

Ridge: Don’t talk.

Thomas: I was trying to show you–

Ridge: Just be quiet. Just be quiet while I’m trying to figure out what kind of a man I’m looking at. What– what kind of a man calls child services on his own kid, has him interrogated, makes him lie just to break up my marriage.

Thomas: I didn’t ask him to lie.

Ridge: Of course, you made him lie.

Taylor: Stop! Stop! This is exactly what I was afraid of right here. Ridge, I am so sorry that you found out about this the way that you did. I should have been the one to tell you. And I– and I didn’T. I got– I got scared because of this. It’s our wedding day. I didn’t wanna ruin it. I– you said the cps call had nothing to do with– with– with us getting married. But does it? Tell me, ridge, are we gonna be husband and wife?

Brooke: Hope, what are you doing here?

Hope: I– I cut my business trip short.

Brooke: Oh, honey. I don’t want you to rearrange your schedule because of what’s going on in my life.

Hope: You’re my mom and there was no way I was going to let you go through this day all by yourself. Okay?

Brooke: Honey.

Sheila: Poor brooke.

[ Sheila laughing ] I wonder how she’s gonna rebound. Is she going to ruin a happy home or maybe sleep with somebody else’s husband? Because the sky’s the limit for that one.

Deacon: You know, it’s truly unsettling the way that you take pleasure in other people’s misery.

Sheila: Brooke’s misery is like christmas morning for me after the way she’s treated me all these years.

[ Sheila laughing ]

Deacon: Is this your idea of foreplay? Laughing at brooke’s failed marriage?

Sheila: Come on. Won’t you have a little fun?

Deacon: Making fun of brooke’s heartache is not my favorite pastime.

Sheila: Yeah, but you know what? It gives me something to do. Enjoy myself while I’m locked up in this prison.

Deacon: Prison?

Sheila: Oh, I’m sorry. I should have said in this incredibly lavish bachelor pad.

Deacon: You know, sheila, you ought to be grateful otherwise you’d be in real prison. And while we’re on the subject, that’s exactly where the two of us are gonna wind up if you keep slipping out of that door. I’m not going back behind bars. Not for anything, least of all ’cause you’re getting a little stir crazy.

Brooke: Honey, thank you for this. Really. But I haven’t been alone. Katie and donna have been here most of the day. Oh, and your grandpa, he paid us a surprise visit. He was with his girlfriend, lucy.

Hope: Oh, really? How is he?

Brooke: He’s good. He missed you.

Hope: Well, I hope to see him. But mom, I’m more worried about you. How are you really? I mean, how are you handling ridge getting married to taylor today?

Taylor: Ridge, what do you wanna do?

Thomas: You’re angry with me, not mom. Marry her.

Steffy: It’s your decision, dad. I didn’t just tell you the truth because you deserve to know. I also told you, because if you decide to marry mom, it would be real. It wouldn’t be based on manipulations and lies. It would be real love. Only you can decide if you’re ready to marry mom today.

Sheila: Why do you feel as though you have to be a constant reminder? I know the situation I’m in.

Deacon: You keep going out, you’re gonna get caught.

Sheila: Okay. If you want to continue to play warden, could we at least use some handcuffs?

Deacon: I’m serious.

Sheila: I know you are. And I really appreciate everything that you’ve done for me, deacon. And I– I know the position that I’ve put you in. But just being stuck in here staring at the same walls day after day, it’s driving me crazy.

Deacon: Look, I get it. I– it sucks. I know. You feel like you escaped one prison and now you wind up in another one. But that’s not true. We both know this is better. Let’s keep it that way.

Brooke: How am I dealing with it?

Hope: Yes. How are you coping?

Brooke: Well, I’m not going to drink, okay? You have my word.

Hope: Okay. I just want you to know that no matter what I am doing or what time of day it is, I will always be there for you.

Brooke: Just don’t know how this happened. How could ridge turn away from me like this? How could he marry somebody like taylor?

Steffy: I understand you’re upset with mom, but this is all on thomas. Moments before marrying you she was blindsided. She had to make a difficult decision.

Taylor: Yeah, it was a terrible decision to make. Of course, I was gonna tell you about the recording. I–

Steffy: Thomas is the one manipulating and lying.

Thomas: For you. For both of you. To get brooke out of your lives so that you could be the woman you’re truly supposed to be with.

Ridge: Oh, I’m sorry. So, you are a hero now? Is that what you’re gonna tell that little boy? He won’t even look at you. You hurt innocent people. Hope, douglas, my wife. The list goes–

Thomas: Ex-wife.

Steffy: Thomas, back off.

Thomas: No, if you just kept your mouth shut, they would be together right now.

Ridge: Stop!

Steffy: Dad, I’m sorry. I’m sorry you’re hurting, but the truth is out. No more lies. No more manipulations. Yes, mom should have told you. Obviously, I still want you guys to get married today. She is the same wonderful person. Giving, incredible, everything that you love and adore. Like I said, I know this is your choice, but I think the right one is to marry mom today. Did you know some of your detergent’s fragrance

Deacon: You didn’t have to come back to la. I get that you wanna be close to finn, but that ain’t never gonna happen ’cause he’s not gonna forgive you.

Sheila: Stranger things have happened. And then, I mean, he could convince steffy and the rest of the forrester’S. Years ago, I– I shot taylor and we became friends.

Deacon: Friends? How much longer do you think you can keep this up? Hiding out here wearing that stupid mask? Sheila, listen to me. You are going to get caught. There’s no way out of this, not if you stay in la.

Sheila: There’s always a way. People underestimated me in the past, but I’m still here. I survived. So, don’t count me out, deacon. That would be a big mistake.

Taylor: Ridge, I– I– I– I should have told you. Of course, I should have. But upstairs, I was– I was five minutes away from– from walking down the aisle to marry the love of my life. And steffy was urging me to just tell you the truth. And thomas was reminding me that what he did to brooke and us getting married were completely unrelated. And I– I agreed with both of them. Ridge, you came to aspen and you told me you wanted to be with me for the rest of your life. And it had nothing to do with anything that brooke had done. So, I wanted to believe that this– this news about brooke would not stop us from getting married, but does it? Is what thomas did going to end everything?

Ridge: You’re a psychiatrist, right? You know that our son needs some serious help. What he did was sick and twisted.

Thomas: I did what I did so you two could have a future together without brooke clawing her way back in.

Ridge: You are a self-centered, delusional child who has lost all grasp on reality. You’ve done this before. You’re not gonna do it again, not to the people I love. There are consequences. And I’m gonna talk to dad about your place in the company, if there is one.

Thomas: You’re kicking me out of the company now? What’s– family next?

Ridge: I gave you life, I gave you love, I gave you support and you took it all. Is there anything else you could possibly take from me? I was so proud of you. It makes me sick to look at you.

Taylor: I– I knew that we would deal with this. I knew that we would deal with this as a family. And from my perspective, it was going to be as husband and wife. My god, ridge. I love you so much.

Ridge: I love you too. I’m gonna set this straight.

Steffy: Mom, I’m sorry. I’m sholeh and I lost 75 pounds with golo.

Brooke: Yeah, well, I’m sure the ceremony’s over by now.

Hope: This is so wrong.

Brooke: Ridge and I have always been able to get through anything. This just feels a little bit different. I think because he hasn’t told me why. So it just, you know, it’s, like, crushing pain. Oh, honey, I’m sorry. You should go down, be with liam and beth. I’m sure they’re wondering where you are.

Hope: No. Mom, I wanna be here for you.

Brooke: I just– just wanna be alone. Just think back to the wonderful memories that I have of ridge.

Hope: Won’t that hurt?

Ridge: It’s all that I have left of him. The only pieces that are still mine.

Steffy: I’m so sorry, mom, but dad needed to know the truth.

Taylor: Of course.

Thomas: After everything brooke has done, how could you?

Steffy: Because it was wrong, thomas. How can you not see that?

Taylor: Stop fighting, please.

Steffy: Mom, I’m so sorry.

Taylor: Today was supposed to be our wedding day.

Thomas: You would be married right now if steffy had just kept her mouth shut.

Taylor: He’s gonna set it straight.

[ Knocking on door ] Ridge. What are you doing here?

Ridge: May I come in? Please.

Brooke: Why are you here? It’s your wedding day.

Ridge: Yeah. I learned something today that I– I– I think you need to know. Um, I should have had more faith in you.

Brooke: What are you talking about?

Ridge: Do you remember when child services came to my dad’s house to check on douglas?

Brooke: Yes.

Ridge: And I asked you if you made the call and you said no and I didn’t believe you.

Brooke: Ridge, I said that I would call child protective services on thomas if I had to, but I certainly wouldn’t alert the authorities without checking with you first.

Ridge: And I wanted to believe that, but I was certain it was you.

Brooke: How could you even think–

Ridge: Because I heard your voice. I– I heard what I– what I thought was your voice. I got– I know this guy who works with child services and I asked him to give me a copy of the call and he did and I listened to it. And it was you. You even said your name.

Brooke: It wasn’t me. I didn’t make that call.

Ridge: I know it wasn’t you. I know that now. It was thomas. He called the authorities on himself.

Brooke: Why would he do something like that?

Ridge: To set you up. To break us up. To– to make sure I don’t fight for my marriage anymore. He used this– this app on his kid’s phone that– that can change your voice, can clone your voice. And that is my wonderful boy, my resourceful boy. That’s what he did. And you always told me that he was trouble, he needed help and I– I didn’t believe that, but I did in turn believe that you would do something that I knew in my heart of hearts you would never do.

Ridge: All right. Douglas is out of the room. I’m gonna need some answers.

Thomas: You’re angry.

Ridge: You have no idea how angry I am.

Thomas: What I did was bad.

Ridge: What you did? You called cps and I wanna make sure I’m understanding this, you called cps andbo changed your voice to sound like brooke.

Thomas: Yes, I did and I’m sorry, but that doesn’t change how much you love my mom, all right? And that’s what you should be focused on today.

Ridge: I believed in you. I thought you were a changed man and you’re not. You did this. You betrayed me.

[ Thomas sighing ]

Brooke: It’s a beautiful day for a wedding. Bet ridge and taylor are exchanging vows as we speak.

Katie: Dad was so disappointed in ridge and his recent behavior.

Brooke: I’m so glad that he stopped by. A surprise visit from him and lucy? I just wish he didn’t have to catch a plane so soon.

Donna: Me too. You know, I miss him already.

Katie: And it was so sweet how protective he was. Wanted to run over there and stop the wedding.

Brooke: If only that were possible.

Sheila: You’re thinking about brooke. You really are distracted, aren’t you?

Deacon: No, I’m just–

Sheila: Why don’t you just admit that you’ve got brooke on your mind and you can’t stop thinking about her.

Deacon: She’s my daughter’s mother. Hope’s concerned about her, which means I’m concerned about her. Brooke’s going through a tough time.

Sheila: Oh, yeah. It must be really tough living in that big mansion all by yourself, accepting the fact that ridge is about to marry someone else.

Deacon: Hope gave me a heads up about the wedding.

Sheila: Well, I’m sure she’s consoling brooke right now, being the dutiful daughter.

Deacon: No, actually. She’s still out of town on business for her line with zende. She wanted to be home with her mother, but brooke insisted that she go.

Sheila: Gosh, well, you know, I hope she doesn’t spiral out of control with her gone and expect you to go over there and wipe her tears.

Deacon: If she needs me, I’m there.

Sheila: I need you, right here, deacon.

Deacon: Really?

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: It’s so weird because I– I wouldn’t have thought that, the way that you slip out in that disguise every now and then. Yeah, I know all about that. Are you trying to get caught?

Sheila: Don’t worry about it.

Deacon: Where do you go anyway?

Sheila: I said don’t worry about it. And you know, don’t– don’t worry about brooke either because she’s gonna survive. This isn’t the first time she’s lost her darling ridge.

Brooke: How would I survive without the support of my family.

Katie: Oh, it’s what we do. We lean on each other.

Brooke: I have to be honest with you about something, katie. It’s something that bill said earlier.

Katie: Oh, I– uh, I know. You don’t have to say it. He made a pitch for you. I know.

Brooke: He told you?

Katie: No, I overheard bill and carter.

Donna: Carter, what?

Katie: Oh, right, carter. He– he came by because he was apparently picking something up for the wedding? I don’t know, maybe something for ridge or the ceremony. Anyway, I overheard bill and carter talking and I guess carter overheard bill trying to reel you in.

Brooke: Oh, my god.

Katie: And then he heard you shutting bill down and then he heard bill asking me to take him back.

Donna: Oh, my god.

Brooke: What?

Donna: That is so shady! What?

Katie: Yeah. I– anyway, carter called him out on it and he said… some very sweet things in my defense. I don’t know that I’ve really met anyone like him.

Eric: You did this to brooke?

Ridge: I thought you changed. I thought– I thought– I thought you were a better man, but you– you’re not. I defended you to everyone. I was proud of you!

Thomas: I’m still that guy.

Ridge: You’re not that guy! You lie! Every time you open your mouth, you lie! You did this to undermine my marriage. That’s what you were doing.

Thomas: Because you and mom belong together and you know it.

Ridge: Steffy… thank you for being honest with me. You see that, doc? You see your boy? You see what he did? You knew. Dancing is everything.

Sheila: Maybe there’s gonna be a picture online.

Deacon: Of what?

Sheila: Of the nuptials. Ridge and taylor, they’re– they’re both famous, right? There might be a family photo somewhere. Thank you.

Deacon: You’re hoping to see a photo of finn and hayes.

Sheila: Mm-hm. If I’m forbidden from seeing them in real life, I– I think a picture’s gonna be the next best thing.

Deacon: I think– I just think it’s crazy that this wedding is even going down. I mean, the ink isn’t even dry on her annulment papers.

Sheila: Look, it’s– it’s not like brooke hasn’t been through this ten times before, okay? She’s a big girl. She’s– she’s gonna be fine.

Deacon: I just hope she doesn’t start drinking to numb the pain.

Sheila: Yeah, well, that’S… that’s not your problem, deacon.

Deacon: No, darling. You’re my problem.

[ Sheila chuckling ]

Sheila: I know that you’re tempted to go see brooke, but don’t even think about it.

Brooke: You said there was a new man in your life.

Donna: And why did you not tell me about this?

Katie: I was just waiting for things to be a little bit more official.

Brooke: So, it is carter.

Katie: We don’t have to talk about this right now, okay? Not when your heart is breaking over ridge.

Brooke: It’s okay. Just because I’m sad doesn’t mean I don’t want my sisters to be happy. So, tell us more. How serious is this?

Katie: It’s– we’ve just been spending some time together, you know? We’ve gotten close.

Donna: How close?

Katie: Not as close as you’re thinking?

Brooke: Well, I’m happy for you. You deserve all the love in the world.

Katie: We all do. Including you, brooke.

Ridge: You knew. You knew what thomas did.

Taylor: Yes, I did.

Carter: We should give you all some time alone.

Eric: Yeah. We’ll go upstairs.

Finn: Um, I’ll check on the kids.

Thomas: Dad, don’t be mad at mom.

Ridge: How long have you known?

Taylor: I just found out upstairs.

Steffy: I just told mom. And I just found out from douglas, and when I went to confront thomas, that’s when mom walked in.

Ridge: This just happened just now?

Steffy: Yes. Mom’s shocked. She didn’t think thomas would do something like this.

Ridge: But she didn’t tell me. You were gonna marry me anyway.

Taylor: Yes.

Steffy: Thomas was pressuring her to keep quiet.

Taylor: No, don’t say that. I’m the one who decided not to tell you, so that’s on me.

Thomas: You know, dad? Today is your wedding day, so maybe we shouldn’t worry about this right now. We’ll deal with it later.

Ridge: Sure.

Thomas: Look, I take full blame. Mom isn’t responsible. You know how good of a person she is. You know her integrity. This is my mistake.

Ridge: Did you say mistake?

Thomas: Yeah.

Ridge: It’s not a mistake. It’s an evil, calculated scheme… carried out by my boy. I’m steve.

Sheila: So, how much time do you have before work?

Deacon: Enough.

Sheila: Mm. You’re really trying to woo me, aren’t you? Where’s the– the excitement, the romance? The mystery even. Maybe I should go put my disguise back on when you first met me.

Deacon: No, that’s– that’s good. I don’t need to see that redhead again. She’s dangerous. Sheila, you gotta stop with the field trips, all right? Wherever you’re going with that disguise, knock it off. You’re gonna get us both busted.

Sheila: Nobody even knows it’s me. Besides, I– I picked up a few new wigs.

Deacon: Really?

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: Anyway.

[ Sheila laughing ] Everyone thinks you’re dead. It needs to stay that way.

Sheila: You know what? I will not stay that way. And before you know it, I’m gonna be free as a bird.

Deacon: Yeah, a jailbird. But you keep dreaming.

Sheila: You know what? I started over before and I’m gonna do it again and the only person sitting here dreaming is you, deacon. Because you don’t stand a chance with brooke.

Brooke: So, he stood up for you. That’s good. What exactly did you hear carter saying to bill?

Katie: Uh, he just said that I deserve a man who would be committed to me.

Donna: Yes, you do.

Katie: Someone who would be true to me, always. And that he was making my happiness his business.

Donna: Carter, okay. A++. Who doesn’t want all that?

Brooke: You really like him, don’t you?

Katie: As I said, it’s– it’s still new. Anyway, I feel bad talking about this today of all days.

Brooke: Oh, don’t worry. We’re just so excited for you. Carter is such a great guy.

Katie: Yeah, he is. I know it’s hard right now, brooke, and it might sound crazy, but… don’t give up on ridge.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Carter: Well, that was unexpected.

Eric: How are the little ones? Are they okay? I hate for them to be affected by this. Are they okay?

Finn: They’re– they’re okay. They’re in the kitchen decorating cupcakes with my mom.

Eric: God, I’m beyond furious. I’m so angry with thomas!

Carter: Clearly, ridge is too. I’ve never seen him so angry and disillusioned.

Finn: I can only imagine how hard it was for steffy, having to call out her own brother.

Ridge: How could you do this? So many lives turned upside down. Look at your beautiful mother. Look at what you’re putting her through.

Thomas: I’m, uh… I’m not making excuses.

Ridge: I’m not asking for excuses. You can’t defend any of this.

Thomas: I’m not. But come on, dad. You moved out of brooke’s like twice in the last year. You’re sick of that relationship. Don’t forget that.

Steffy: Thomas, stop. You’ve already done enough damage.

Thomas: You know what? I got to see you come back into mom’s life, making her happy and you, with our family and we had wonderful moments together. It’s a life anyone could dream of. And I had to get you out of that toxic relationship.

Taylor: You– that was not your place, thomas.

Ridge: I kept asking brooke, I said, “just say it. Just admit to something,” and every moment of silence was another slap in the face. But, she didn’t know what I was talking about. Because it wasn’t her, she wasn’t a liar. It was him. I don’t– I don’t believe this.

Taylor: I should have pulled you aside, ridge. I should have told you. I know.

Ridge: What happened? Hm? What happened to the woman I fell in love with? The woman… that always tells the truth? Where did she go?

Taylor: I don’t know. I’m so sorryE. I am so sorry. (Vo) red lobster. The finer points of fun dining

Katie: You and ridge are soulmates. He will come home.

Donna: He’s gonna be so miserable without you, brooke. He is gonna realize that he is making the biggest mistake of his life.

Katie: I know it seems impossible right now, like you’re never gonna be happy again, but it’s felt impossible before and fate has proven you wrong and it will this time too. You and ridge are written in the stars and no one can take that away from you.

Ridge: This isn’t like you.

Taylor: No. No, I– I– I should have given you a chance to decide what you wanted to do before the wedding. But, I panicked. You love me, right?

Ridge: Of course, I do. So much.

Taylor: And you’ve been assuring me that– that– that we are together because you love me and you want to be with me and it had nothing to do with anything that brooke did. But that’s not true, ridge. The cps call. Okay, listen, I… I made the decision not to tell you about the recording because I wanted to believe that your promises to me had nothing to do with what you thought brooke did to our son.

Steffy: Dad, you have every right to feel hurt, but mom was trying to protect thomas. She doesn’t wanna lose you.

Taylor: That’s true. This is a lot. I, um… I wish I could go back, but I can’T. I– I can only… I can only tell you that I… I don’t want a marriage based on lies. Not from me. Not from you. Not from anyone.

[ Taylor sighing ] I let my emotions get the best of me. My fears. My family. The thought of losing you again when I thought that we had it– we had made it. That we were gonna be okay. So, I don’t know. This is– this is the moment of truth. Right? What do you wanna do, ridge? Do you wanna go on with the wedding? Are we gonna get through this? Because today was supposed to be about new beginnings. It was supposed to be about our kids and our grandkids and everything that we have been grateful for. The chance at– at a life together again. That’s what today was supposed to be about. I– I’ve apologized. And thomas has apologized and I know that it doesn’t make it okay right now, but… are you gonna stand behind your promises to me? Are you gonna make me your wife?

[ Wedding orchestral music ]

Ridge: Taylor. Everything okay?

Taylor: What?

Ridge: You look so beautiful. I know it’s been a while and it’s a wee overwhelming. What do you say? You want to do this?

Brooke: I’m so glad you’re here, dad. I’m so happy to finally meet lucy.

Stephen: Oh, it’s just our good luck that her flight was leaving from la.

Lucy: I wish the circumstances were better, considering.

Katie: It’s okay. We’re all here to support brooke.

Stephen: Well, I would have stayed longer if I had known that ridge was getting married. Why didn’t you tell me?

Brooke: Dad, I didn’t know. I didn’t want to believe it. I mean, I was holding out hope that he would change his mind. It’s too late now. I’m sure the wedding’s already started.

Donna: Look, sis, if you want to know what’s going on, I can go over to the house.

Brooke: No. I’d rather pretend this isn’t even happening. This is so wrong. I mean, ridge should be here with me, not marrying taylor.

Carter: Taylor. Are you ready? I’m sorry, ridge, I– um… I’m– I’m s– I’m sorry, everybody. I was late. I, um– you know, I woke up this morning and I was so excited about today. I knew that it was going to be perfect. And then… god, I just have so much going on in my head right now and– nice cufflinks. Like you said, this is– this is… overwhelming. For so many reasons. Just the fact that I am standing here with you right now. After I had given up hope that we could be together. And you came and you found me. And you told me that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me. And that you would protect my heart from now on. Ridge, I have to tell you something. I’m ready. I am ready to marry the man who loves me.

Ridge: I think that’s your cue.

Carter: Everyone, please sit down. Thank you for being here. Welcome. Ridge and taylor are pleased to share this momentous occasion with you. One that, like taylor said, has been a long time coming. Even though the bride and groom didn’t give me much time to plan my remarks. But, so sorry. When two people pledge themselves to be married, they aren’t just committing to a future together, but declaring their love. Today, ridge and taylor are proclaiming their deep faith and trust in each other. Hi, I’m jill and I’ve lost 56 pounds on golo.

[ Relaxing music ]

Brooke: You really don’t have to leave.

Lucy: Oh, no. You need time with your father. Our flight’s in a few hours. Oh, brooke, I’m so sorry about everything.

Brooke: It’s okay.

Lucy: Oh, girls, just wonderful to have seen you face to face. I have to do it soon again.

Stephen: Okay.

Lucy: Honey, I’ll see you at the airport.

Stephen: Okay.

Katie: So, lucy’s sweet.

Donna: Uh huh.

Stephen: I think so. She’s very good for me.

Donna: Yes, she is. You know, I am going to order some food. How about that?

Katie: Okay.

Brooke: I’m not really hungry.

Stephen: Now, wait a minute. You have to take care of yourself, young lady.

Katie: And if you can’t, then we will.

Brooke: I really appreciate that, and I’m so happy you’re here, dad, but I don’t want tea, and I don’t want food. I just want ridge to come home and tell me he made a huge mistake and that he’s not marrying taylor.

Stephen: And if he doesn’t, he never deserved you.

Brooke: Oh, dad.

Stephen: No, no. I mean it. I mean, I’m so proud of you, girls. Girls. Women! I mean, you’re powerful, wonderful, intelligent women. You’ve made beautiful lives for yourselves, for your children, and you deserve to be happy, completely fulfilled. And instead, the men in your lives have just let you down. Myself included.

Brooke: No.

Donna: Dad, no.

Katie: Come on, that was a long time ago.

Stephen: No. I’m never going to stop wanting to make up for it. I’m determined to take away all the pain and the disappointment that you’ve ever felt. Promise.

Brooke: Well, I’m not sure if disappointment is the word that I would use for what I feel right now. It’s more like I– I just feel kind of empty, you know? I’m still in shock, actually.

Stephen: Well, then tell me what to do. What can I do? Okay, I’ll cancel my flight. No, I’ll go over to the house. I’ll stop that wedding if I have to. I don’t know how I’ll do it, but I’ll do it for you. I will.

Brooke: Taylor and her kids, they finally have everything they want and she’s not going to let anybody stop her from saying “I do.”

Stephen: Oh, sweetheart.

Brooke: Oh, dad. I love you.

Carter: It’s no secret to anyone in this room how much ridge and taylor care for each other. How they’ve remained close over the years, even separated by oceans. How deeply moving it is to hear them put those feelings into words. Preparing today, taylor told me all the ways she loves ridge, as a friend, a partner, a lover. She did.

Ridge: Okay.

Carter: And dedicated father to their children. He is the family’s protector. And ridge calls taylor their heart. She is their compass. He also praises how beautiful she is and her sense of humor. But he mostly appreciates her honesty and loyalty. He never has to question her integrity and has complete faith in her sense of right and wrong. You are your family’s north star. Now, ridge and taylor, they did not just talk about each other. They talked about their kids. Now, if you want to see this guy glow with pride, ask him about his children.

[ Carter laughing ] It is so inspiring seeing ridge and steffy work side by side. How he puts his trust in her, has faith in her judgment. And he is so proud of his best man, his son. Thomas, you’ve grown so much as a designer, a father, a man. Now, I always say ridge should take some credit for that, but he would put it all down to their dedication and taylor’s positive influence.

Ridge: I do. This is not the time–

Carter: We’re not at that part yet. No. We still have some business.

Ridge: Sorry.

Carter: If anyone here has any reason why these two should not be unified in lawful matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Steffy: I do. I object. Your heart is the beat of life.

Katie: Let’s just hold off on ordering food.

Donna: I missed a text from eric and uh… the wedding started. I’m– I’m so sorry.

Brooke: No. I am. Look, dad’s here, and he doesn’t have much time with us before he leaves. And I don’t want our time together be about me feeling sorry for myself. So.

Katie: Brooke, you’re in mourning. You have suffered an unexpected loss. You can’t just push it out of your head.

Stephen: No, honey. I need to– so his mind is just– just made up?

Katie: His mind was made up for him.

Brooke: You know, when carter came over here with the annulment papers, I really thought that there was hope. Because I thought if ridge really wanted to end things, he would have come over here and done it himself. Instead, he proposed to taylor.

Stephen: It’s not like you to just give up.

Brooke: Dad. I haven’t given up. I love ridge and all of our precious memories together and our history. Everything we’ve been through. It’s all right here. And it will always be there no matter what. I will always love ridge. Even if he marries taylor today.

Ridge: What are you doing? Object to what?

Steffy: Not to you and mom getting married. I want that more than anything.

Ridge: You wanted that forever.

Steffy: It’s complicated, dad. And I– I want you to hear this, but I’m not trying to hurt you in any way. I don’t want to ruin things for you. But you need to hear what happened.

Ridge: Hear what happened? With what?

Steffy: You need to know the truth about what’s going on. Thomas, tell him.

Thomas: The truth. You know what? He proposed to mom. He loves her. He wants to be with her, and she’s going to make him happy. That’s the truth.

Steffy: If dad ended his marriage to brooke because he felt betrayed, because of the cps call–

Ridge: Why are we bringing this up now?

Steffy: I just found out about this, dad. Don’t listen to thomas. He’s trying to protect himself.

Ridge: Protect himself from what? What are you talking about?

Thomas: Don’t you want them to be together?

Steffy: Of course I do.

Thomas: Then stop!

Steffy: I can’t! If you two can’t go on with this until… until everything is out in the open. Dad, brooke didn’t hide anything from you. And I know that you gave her chance after chance to open up and confess and you wonder why she didn’T. But you deserve to know the truth. The truth about the cps call.

Who’s on it with jardiance?

Stephen: You– you should be furious with ridge. I am.

Brooke: Well, I’m not, dad. I’m just hurt. And I’m heartbroken. Mostly, I’m just confused.

Stephen: That’s what makes me so angry. Ridge ended your marriage without giving you a reason, without giving you an opportunity to save it. Maybe he thinks he’s doing the right thing. But to leave you with these questions. Honey, it’s– it’s cruel. You say he still loves you, but if he knew what this was doing to you, I–

Donna: Does he?

Brooke: He knows I didn’t want this. He knows I didn’t want an annulment or for him to marry taylor. And I just signed those annulment papers because I didn’t know what else to do. I just couldn’t get through to him. I will always love him, dad. I will. And in spite of everything, I know that he still loves me.

Stephen: Oh, honey.

Finn: You mind taking them to the kitchen?

Li: Yeah, of course. Let’s go.

Finn: I’ll be right there with you, okay?

Ridge: Why? Why are we talking about brook and the cps call on my wedding day to your mother?

Thomas: You know, I think douglas should go with li and kelly.

Steffy: Stop trying to cover it up, thomas.

Ridge: Somebody tell me what’s going on here.

Steffy: It’s about the call to child protective services. You think it was brooke.

Ridge: I know it was brooke.

Steffy: Because you heard that recording. You thought it was brooke, but it wasn’T.

Ridge: What?

Steffy: No, dad.

Ridge: No, it was her. I listened to it and she said her name.

Steffy: She didn’t make that recording.

Ridge: Okay. Then who did?

Steffy: Thomas. Thomas made that recording.

Ridge: Thomas, I’m sorry, but that doesn’t make any sense.

Brooke’s voice: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger.

Ridge: Where’s that coming from?

Brooke’s voice: His name is douglas forrester. He’s at 369 willow hill road, los angeles. His father, thomas forrester, is unstable. He has a knife.

Ridge: Douglas, why do you have that–

Steffy: Dad! Stop! Stop. Let him finish. It’s okay, douglas, go ahead.

Thomas: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester. He’s at 369 willow hill road, los angeles. His father, thomas forrester, is unstable. He has a knife.

Ridge: I don’t understand.

Douglas: It’s an app on my phone. You record your voice and you can make it sound like someone else’S.

Ridge: You did this? You called child services on yourself?

Thomas: You promised mom you wanted to marry her because you love her. It had nothing to do with brooke, the cps thing. It’s not the point.

Ridge: It’s not the point? You’re playing with my life, with brooke’s life, your mom. What are you doing?

Thoams: Trying to make you happy.

Ridge: Do I look happy to you? You set up brooke because you know exactly what I would do if somebody attacked my family. My son who’s turned his life around. You destroyed my marriage! My boy, my son. You did this!

Taylor: Okay. Okay. I do not understand what is going on, but, um, nothing is going to ruin how amazing this day is going to be, right? Because I am about to marry your father in five minutes.

Steffy: Just prepare yourself.

Thomas: Steffy’s right, prepare yourself to be happy for the rest of your life with dad.

Taylor: Mm-hmm. Yeah, that– that is the plan.

Thomas: Okay, well, stick to it, all right? We’ll worry about our little thing and you just worry about being the beautiful bride you are.

Steffy: Nice try, thomas, but mom needs to know what you’ve done.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Finn: Hey. How are the kids?

Li: Amelia’s working her magic.

Ridge: How is douglas?

Li: Now that you mention it, he seemed a little subdued.

Ridge: Still, huh? That is not like him.

Finn: Well, if you’re worried he’s not feeling well, I can go check him out.

>>Ridge: I don’t think it’s his health, I just– he seems preoccupied.

Eric: He’s probably just overwhelmed with everything that’s going on here.

Li: It’s a big day for douglas’s father, for the whole family. It’s a big day for you, ridge.

Brooke: I can’t believe ridge is marrying another woman today.

Katie: He’s making a terrible mistake.

>>Brooke: Yes, he is.

Donna: Look, we’re here for you. Whatever you need, just– just ask us.

Katie: We’ll get through this terrible day together.

Brooke: Thanks, you guys. I don’t know what I would do without my sisters.

Donna: We love you so much, sis.

[ Knocking at door ]

Katie: Are you expecting someone?

>>Brooke: No. Dad!

Stephen: Sweetheart! Oh!

>>Brooke: Oh!

Stephen: Oh, you remember lucy.

Lucy: Hi.

Brooke: Yes, hello.

Donna: Oh, it’s dad.

Lucy: Oh, you girls.

Donna: Daddy! Lucy! It’s so good to see you in person and not on video chat.

Stephen: Look at the three of you, aw, more beautiful than ever.

Katie: And we finally get to meet the lovely girlfriend.

Donna: What are you doing here?

Stephen: We’re just passing through L.A. And we wanted to say hi.

Lucy: Well, we didn’t want to impose, but your dad thought it’d be fun to make it a surprise. And, oh, brooke, we have had a chance to see some of hope’s fashion preview. I mean, it’s stunning. And all the press around it has been so good, and your father, let me tell you, he has been one proud papa. He’s been boasting about it to all of our friends, the logans and the forresters. I mean, you are an unstoppable team.

Stephen: Alright, girls. I know these looks. I feel like I walked in on something. You want to bring me up to speed?

>>Brooke: It’s ridge. He is marrying taylor today.

Ridge: Thank you for performing the ceremony. Thank you.

Carter: I would have been offended if you hadn’t asked.

Li: Shall we get the kids? I assume the wedding will start soon.

Carter: Not without a bride.

[ Clearing throat ]

Taylor: Okay, you guys are freaking me out, okay? I am still traumatized from the last time your father and I tried to get married, so if you need to tell me something, now’s the time.

Thomas: Don’T. You’ll ruin everything.

Steffy: It’s not me, you did this!

Taylor: What did you do?

Thomas: Let it go. Just let mom and dad be happy.

Taylor: Stop.

Steffy: Brooke never called child protective services on thomas like dad thinks. This is gloria.

Lucy: Had we known you were going through all this today–

>>Brooke: Oh, no. No, lucy, I’m glad you guys are here.

Stephan: So, you think that thomas had something to do with the end of your marriage?

Brooke: Uh, I just don’t trust him, dad. I don’t think I ever will. Not after the stunts that he’s pulled and the things that he’s done to hope. And he’s made it no secret how he feels about me, that he has no use for me and that he wants to get me out of ridge’s life. Well, here we are. Ridge and taylor are getting married.

Katie: Whatever he said or did worked.

Stephan: Well, it shouldn’t have. I mean it. You’re ridge’s wife. He should have given you, at the very least, the benefit of the doubt instead of running back to taylor and not telling you why. I mean, what the hell?

>>Brooke: Uh, well, welcome to my world. And I mean that literally. Really. I’m so glad that you’re here. Especially on a day like today.

Stephan: I just wish there was something I could do to help.

Brooke: Dad, you just being here and supporting me, that is enough. Thank you. I love you.

Stephan: I love you, too, honey.

Carter: How’s the groom?

Ridge: Never better.

Carter: Yeah. Okay. You seem a little–

Ridge: Carter. What’re you getting at?

Carter: You’re my best friend. I want you to be happy.

Ridge: I appreciate that, I am.

Carter: Okay. Well, it’s your wedding day. I’m here to support and facilitate.

Ridge: I know.

Eric: Shouldn’t thomas and steffy be down here by now?

Li: Taylor seemed pretty ready the last time I saw her.

Ridge: She’s probably having a moment with them.

Finn: I mean, this is a huge day for steffy and thomas, something that they wanted for so long.

Ridge: Yeah.

Carter: I imagine emotions are running high.

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

Thomas: Steffy, stop.

Steffy: I won’t let our parents start a life together without knowing the truth. All of it. And I’m not saying you and dad are getting married because the cps call. I know you two love each other, but brooke didn’t make that call.

Taylor: She– she didn’t?

Thomas: It’s a bad idea.

Steffy: Douglas has an app on his phone where you can change your voice and make it sound like someone else.

Taylor: Okay. I need more details, please.

Steffy: Here. Listen.

Agent: Child protective services.

Brooke’s voice: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester. He’s at 369–

Taylor: Okay, stop. Why? Why would douglas call cps?

Thomas: Steffy–

Steffy: No. Someone else used douglas’s phone.

Thomas: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester. He’s at 369 willow hill road, los angeles. His father, thomas forester, is unstable. He has a knife.

Taylor: Thomas…

Thomas: It’s not exactly what it seems.

Steffy: Don’t lie to our mother, tell her the truth.

Taylor: Tell me now.

Thomas: Okay. I called cps, and honestly, it doesn’t matter.

Taylor: It matters, thomas. It really matters.

Thomas: No, it doesn’t because look where we are. I got the job done. Brooke is gone and out of our lives and you are about to get married to dad.

Steffy: No, thomas. Dad needs to know what you’ve done.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Steffy: You can’t base your marriage on a lie, mom. Dad needs to know the truth. The world is full of make or break moments.

Stephen: I’m still trying to comprehend the idea of ridge marrying taylor again.

Katie: We all are.

Brooke: Especially me.

Lucy: For him to leave the way he did, so abruptly.

Donna: And with no explanation why.

Stephen: I don’t get it. What could have happened that made ridge shut down on you like that?

Brooke: I don’t know. All of sudden, he just took off to aspen to be with taylor. And of course, I followed, but by the time I got there, I already lost him.

Stephen: And you think thomas had something to do with it?

Brooke: More and more I’m feeling that way, yes.

Donna: Thomas doesn’t even try to hide his disdain for brooke. I mean, he’s constantly putting brooke down in front of ridge at home, at the office. You know, steffy too, for that matter.

Katie: It’s been this relentless campaign by steffy and thomas to get ridge and taylor back together. I mean, I think steffy might have some limits, some lines that she won’t cross, but thomas? Not so much.

Stephen: That guy’s turned out to be bad news for this family. This focused effort on manipulating ridge back to taylor and his obsession with hope.

Brooke: He’s always been a constant source of tension for ridge and me, and I really hate that because he is ridge’s son. I wanna be there for him and I want to support him and understand him, but I can’T. Not after the things that he’s done and obviously is still doing. I mean, somehow he came between ridge and me. And now we’re just minutes away from marrying another woman.

Li: Finn, where did you disappear to?

Finn: I just went upstairs to see what was going on.

Eric: You find out?

Finn: Thomas, taylor, steffy, they’re all together. I was gonna knock, but didn’t want to intrude.

Ridge: Let ’em have their moment. They earned it.

Taylor: No, no, no–

Steffy: Mom, dad needs to know what thomas did.

Thomas: That’s not for you to decide, that’s up to mom.

Steffy: Obviously, I want you and dad to get married today, but I don’t want you to start your life based on a lie.

Thomas: It’s not a lie, okay? It’s information that she would choose to omit.

Steffy: Dad thinks betrayed him by calling cps. That is a lie. It wasn’t brooke. It was you. Dad deserves to know the truth.

Thomas: Why are you so determined to blow this up?

Steffy: I’m not!

Thomas: You have wanted our family together for years with me. You should be thanking me.

Taylor: Thanking you? Thanking you, thomas? Do you realize what you’ve done? Why? Why did you do this? What is wrong with you? You manipulated this entire situation. I thought you had changed.

Thomas: I have changed. I didn’t do this because I’m obsessed about getting a mother for my son or anything like I did in the past. I did this for our family. I did this for you and you and our father. I want our family to be happy. Brooke has destroyed and blown up our family for years and years. And I’m sick of it. And I see that look, all right? I know that you’re disappointed in me, and I am sorry if I let you down, mom. But listen to me. Dad said he wants to be with you because he loves you. Because he loves the woman that you are and the loves the one that you’ve always been. Not because of anything that brooke did. So go downstairs and marry the man that you’ve love for most of your life.

Steffy: I agree with thomas to a point. I do. You and dad deserve this. Our family deserves this. But not like this. Not like this. Dad needs to know the whole story. That brooke didn’t lie. She didn’t make that call. Dad deserves to know the whole truth. Mom, you have to say something. Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

Taylor: Oh, my god, thomas, I can’t even look at you. Why did you do this? Why?

Steffy: You know I’m not a fan of brooke, but what you did to her is awful. It was unfair. It was unfair to mom. And to dad. Mom, you know you can’t do this until you talk to him first.

Taylor: Me?

Thomas: Don’t listen to her, mom. This isn’t about brooke. This is about your relationship with dad and your new life together.

Steffy: That will be tainted if dad goes into this not knowing what really happened.

Taylor: Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Okay. I– I agree with both of you, okay? I know that your father loves me. He loves me, and– and he’s not with me just because of something brooke did, right?

Thomas: Exactly.

Steffy: I don’t disagree, but he needs to know what thomas did.

Thomas: He can’t know what I did. Mom, think about it. If dad finds out about it, my entire relationship with him will be ruined.

Taylor: You should have thought about that before.

Thomas: Just forget about this conversation, go downstairs, and move on with the rest of your life.

Ridge: I’m here because I love you. And I want to be with you for always.

Steffy: I love you, mom. And I want you to get married. But you can’t do it until dad knows the truth.

Thomas: He doesn’t need to know the truth. Just go downstairs and get what’s been yours all along.

Steffy: You know what needs to happen, mom.

Taylor: Oh, my god. Oh, my god. It’s time. I don’t know what– what’re we going to do? What am I going to do? What’s going–

Steffy: What are you going to do, mom?

Taylor: I don’t know.

Thomas: Are– are you going to get married or not?

Taylor: Okay, I– I need you guys to leave me alone. I need a moment, okay? I need a moment.

Thomas: Okay. Just do it. Go get married.

Steffy: Mom, not until you tell dad first. Love you.

Brooke: Ridge should be here. He should still be married to me. Instead he’s probably saying vows to taylor. Probably as we speak. Why is this happening?

Ridge: I really thought the music was gonna bring them down. Maybe we should check on them.

Ridge: They’re probably just spending a little extra time with their mother.

Li: Are you excited to see your grandparents get married?

Douglas: Sure.

Kelly: I love weddings. Brides are pretty.

Finn: That’s because their hearts are full of love.

Ridge: What about grooms? We don’t count?

Kelly: You look pretty too.

Ridge thank you. Oh, here they are.

Carter: We were about to send out a search party.

Ridge: Is there a problem I should know about?

Thomas: No, no, no, no. Just the opposite, actually, we were talking with mom about how much this day means to our entire family and to all of us.

Carter: Places everyone.

Ridge: You okay?

[ Indistinct chatter ]

[ Laughing ]

Ridge: You okay?

Douglas: Dad’s gonna be so mad at me.

Steffy: Hey, you don’t worry !@ So, thomas really did this? He used your app. He called cps pretending to be brooke.

Douglas: Ya, so granddad would leave her, and marry grandma taylor.

Taylor: You know, I hate to even say this but, thomas, I wish your father would have told me that brooke made that call to cps. I mean, he told me that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me, and he said it had nothing to do with brooke. But I believe him.

Thomas: Okay, mom. I need you to listen to me. Dad promised the reason he wants to be with you is because he loves you. He loves you and he always should have been with you. So, this has nothing to do with brooke or any of her horrible actions, all right? Never forget that.

Taylor: I won’T.

Ridge: Hey, dad.

Eric: Yah.

Ridge: Hate to tear you away from yourself, but I appreciate you having the ceremony here today.

Eric: When did I ever turn down a wedding ceremony in this room? Especially, one of yours.

Ridge: When you don’t approve, maybe?

Eric: I never said that, ridge. I never said that.

Ridge: You didn’t have to.

Eric: Look, I know how you feel about taylor. I do. And if you want to spend your life with her, I think that’s fine. I’ll support you.

Ridge: Tell me about the “if”, what is that–

Eric: If it were brooke, I would support you teeny tiny bit more, because I know how you feel about her. Are you sure you wanna do this? You sure you want to commit to taylor.

[ Sighs ]

Brooke: Are you really doing this to us, ridge? Are you really marrying taylor?

Katie: What about brooke? Ridge is marrying taylor. Now you’ve got another chance.

Bill: The chance I wanted, the one more chance that I asked for over and over again was with you.

Bill: You’re the only woman I want. Come back to me, my katie.

Katie: Bill, I know what happened after brooke came back from aspen. How you rushed over here. Just like I said you would. So, you can’t stand there with a straight face and tell me that you’re not here because you don’t want a second chance with brooke. I think I can read the situation a little bit better than that. My guess is that she turned you down and then, I come in and you’re like, “oh, katie!” Option 2. It was a good thing I walked in the door and not the gardener. I’m sorry, I don’t want to be flip. I don’t want to joke because I care about you. And I always will. We have meant so much to each other, we have been so many different things to each other. We’ve been lovers, husband and wife, and you’re the father of my son. And, and I love the father that you’ve become. I love watching you with him. And bill, I just want you to be happy. I really do. Mmm, and I want to be happy too. I mean, you can’t make me happy, because you’re not happy. You can’t give me what I need and frankly, what I deserve. I deserve a man whose mine. I deserve a man who loves me, and only me and I want to look in his eyes and I want to see that I’m the only one in his heart. That man is not you. I’m gonna go check on brooke.

Carter: Are you kidding me? What you said to katie just now, right after saying the same thing to brooke? Thank god she turned you down. Katie deserves a hell of a lot better than you.

Ridge: Dad, I know you mean well–

Eric: Ridge, are you absolutely certain you want to marry taylor because of brooke’s cps call that she made, are you sure?

Finn: Hey, hey.

Kelly: Grandpa. Grandpa. You’re getting married.

Ridge: I am? When?

Kelly: Today.

Ridge: Good thing I’m wearing a bow tie.

Finn: Is hayes–

Eric: He’s in the den with amelia.

Finn: Okay, great. Come on, kelly. Let’s get you settled with them.

Ridge: Bye.

Li: Congratulations. I’m so happy for you and taylor. I can only imagine how excited she is right now.

Ridge: Mmm.

Taylor: You know one thing that I’m really, really excited about today?

Thomas: What’s that?

Taylor: You and your sister are in the wedding. I am so happy about that. You know, I am so proud of both of you. That you, thomas, the way you’ve turned your life around.

Thomas: Well, you know. You– you have helped me, you help everyone, but you’ve helped me so much. And if there ever was a time if I can every return a favor, I will. All right? You can count on me.

Taylor: I love you so much.

Steffy: You’re certain, douglas?

Douglas: Dad admitted it. He told me I had to delete the app and forget about it.

[ Steffy sighs ]

Douglas: You know, I should have listened to him and kept his secret. But, it’s just not right.

Steffy: You’re right. It isn’T. Don’t you worry about your father, okay? I’ll take care of him. Hi, I’m darlene

Bill: Well, well, well. If it isn’t mr. Nuptials-r-us. Shouldn’t you be presiding over a wedding right about now?

Carter: Shouldn’t you stop lying to katie? She’s a smart, sophisticated woman, bill. She’s not about to be someone’s second choice.

Bill: You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Carter: How do you not get it? How do you not get how extraordinary she is.

Bill: That’s why I married her, twice. And what do you give a damn how extra– oh.

[ Laughs ] Okay. Stay away from katie.

Carter: You have no right to ask me that–

Bill: I wasn’t asking.

Carter: You were just promising–

Bill: I don’t care what I was promising brooke. Katie is my ex-wife. The mother of my child. She is and always will be “my” katie.

[ Knocking at door ]

Taylor: Yes.

Li: Taylor, it’s li finnegan.

Taylor: Oh, come in. Hi.

Li: Hi. I just wanted to wish you well.

Taylor: Thank you. Thank you so much.

Li: Mmm. I promise I won’t take too much of your time. I know you probably still have a million things to do.

Taylor: No, no. Actually, I am okay. I’m pretty calm, somehow. I’m actually pulling off a no stress wedding.

Li: As you should. You deserve a relaxing and joyful ceremony. And reception, too. No nasty surprises like what happened to finn and steffy.

Taylor: No. No nasty surprises. Today is going to be perfect.

Li: It is.

Eric: Shouldn’t carter be here by now?

Ridge: He’s actually doing me a favor. He went over to brooke’s, but he should be here–

Eric: Wait, he went over to brooke’s?

Ridge: I have some cuff links that taylor gave me a long time ago and they’re over there, and I want to wear them today for obvious reasons.

Eric: Uh-huh.

Ridge: And I didn’t want to be the one to get them–

Finn: For obvious reasons.

Thomas: There he is. Wait till you see mom. She’s gonna take your breath away.

Ridge: I’m sure she will.

Thomas: She wanted me to send stef in with– where is stef?

Eric: She’s upstairs. She’s checking on douglas.

Woman’s voice: His father, thomas forrester is unstable. He has a knife.

Steffy: It sounds just like her.

Douglas: But it isn’T. Don’t forget, the app can turn any recording into someone else’s voice.

Steffy: Okay. Okay, play me the original. The one your dad made, okay?

Thomas’ voice recording: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester. He’s at 369 willow hill road, los angeles. His father, thomas forrester is unstable. He has a knife.

Thomas: Douglas. What have you done?

Steffy: No, thomas. What have “you” done? How could you do this? What the hell? How could you be so cruel? If you’re on medicare,

Carter: Your katie? You think she’s a piece of property, part of your portfolio?

Bill: She’s part of everything that I am. And beyond that, what I think about my wife, is none of your business.

Carter: “Ex” wife. And you should know, I’m making katie and her happiness, very much my business. Especially since you professed your love to her right after you did to brooke. You had your chance with katie, and you threw it away for her sister. She deserves a man who can commit to her, and only her.

Bill: And that man is you? You and katie.

Carter: Well, as you put it, bill, it’s none of your business. Good talk. I gotta grab something and go officiate a wedding.

[ Door closes ]

Li: Oh ridge, your bride looks lovely.

Ridge: That’s what I’ve heard. Looking forward to seeing that for myself.

Finn: Well, won’t be long.

Ridge: Wont’ be long, unless she decides to make a run for it, ’cause–

Eric: I don’t think that’s gonna happen.

Li: Agreed. Nothing is stopping taylor from marrying you, today.

Thomas: Cruel? No, no, no. Come on. There must be some kind of misunderstanding. You know kids and their apps.

Steffy: No, don’t blame this on your son. It was you.

Thomas: Douglas, will you tell her, please, about the app.

Steffy: Stop. Stop lying. Stop it. And don’t you dare take this out on your son. He shouldn’t be punished for telling the truth. Douglas, you did the right thing.

Douglas: I know but, I just wish dad knew it, too.

Steffy: Let me talk to your father. Why don’t you go to the den and hang out with amelia, hayes, and kelly, all right?

Douglas: Okay, aunt steffy.

Steffy: Do you mind if I take your phone? I just want to make sure your father doesn’t delete any of the brooke files.

Thomas: Yeah, bud, go ahead. Hang out with your cousins.

Thomas: Now you’re gonna pretend to feel bad for brooke?

Steffy: I feel bad for your son. Douglas should never be put in this position.

Thomas: I can’t believe he got those files back. He’s a smart kid.

Steffy: Files, framing brooke. How could you do something like this?

Thomas: Yes, I did that and I got our parents back together. What is it with all the fake outrage?

Steffy: Okay. Wait till they hear what happened.

Thomas: No, no, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. What I did is what got our parents to come back together. So, no one should stop that from happening. You shouldn’t do a damn thing.

Carter: Sorry that took me so long. There was a situation I had to take care of.

Ridge: Involving brooke?

Carter: No, don’t worry. She didn’t see me grab those. Those are them, right?

Ridge: Yeah. Thank you.

Carter: It’s beautiful. Again, I’m sorry. I got here as soon as I could.

Eric: No worries, carter. You could have taken as much time as you wanted. We can’t start without you.

[ Laughs ]

Carter: That’s a good point.

Eric: Ridge, you want help with those?

Ridge: Nah, I think I got it. Thank you.

Eric: Okay. Look at this. Look how beautiful she is. Let me look at this dress.

Li: Thank you so much.

Eric: I saw it when you came in, but my goodness.

Li: This is your dress.

Finn: Should we take a picture?

Eric: Yes. Sure.

Finn: Let’s take a picture. Ridge.

Ridge: What?

Finn: Would you mind taking a picture of us?

Ridge: No, I got it. Nothing to do at all. Okay.

[ Laughs ]

Ridge: Yeah. All right. Here we go. Big smiles, everybody.

[ Laughs ]

Ridge: Okay. Got it.

Eric: Thank you. Nice.

[Indistinct conversation]

Brooke: This will never make sense to me. Why? Why are you giving up on us, ridge? Why?

Thomas: All you have to do is keep quiet, then mom and dad become husband and wife again. And brooke is out of our lives for good.

Steffy: Something I desperately want, but not like this. Not based on lies and deception.

Thomas: Yeah, ’cause you are are always on the up and up. Breaking into security systems and blocking phone calls–

Steffy: This is different, thomas. You called cps, pretending you were brooke.

Thomas: Okay, yeah. So, the one time that brooke doesn’t actually do something wrong? It would have happened eventually and dad would have gotten hurt.

Steffy: I don’t want dad to marry mom for the wrong reasons.

Thomas: She’s not marrying him for the wrong reasons. He says he loves mom and he want to be with her. Okay? It has nothing to do with anything brooke did.

Steffy: So then, tell the truth. Tell the truth. If dad is committed to mom, then he’s not gonna care if he finds out that brooke didn’t lie to him. It’s not gonna make a difference. They need to know what you’ve done, thomas.

Thomas: Absolutely not.

Steffy: Then, I’ll tell them. Try to stop me. I dare you.

Taylor: Honey, what is going on? I can hear you two fighting down the hall.

Thomas: Look at mom, isn’t she the most beautiful bride–

Taylor: Enough. Stop it. What could you two possibly be fighting about on my wedding day to your father?

Thomas: It’s really not that big of a deal. Honestly, I think we should all just go downstairs and grab a drink.

Steffy: Don’t listen to him. Don’t believe him. There’s something you should know.

Thomas: Let it go, stef.

Taylor: Okay. Somebody tell me, right now, what is going on.

Steffy: It’s about you and dad.

Thomas: Stop.

Steffy: We wanted this day for so long. We prayed for it. And now…

Taylor: And now– now, what?

Steffy: There’s something you and dad need to hear. Something thomas did that can change everything.

[ Gentle music ]

Steffy: Mom, you look beautiful!

Taylor: Thank you.

Steffy: You should get married more often.

[ Taylor laughs ]

Taylor: Huh, no, I think I’m good after today. I have been waiting for this day for so long.

Steffy: Yes, you have… we all have. I mean, it’s finally happening. You and dad are finally gonna be husband and wife again.

[ Both laugh ]

Steffy: I can’t believe this!

Taylor: I know.

Ridge: I mean it, thomas. Without you and steffy, we never would have gotten here. This is A… it’s my wedding day. We never would have gotten to this point.

Thomas: No, no, no. You– you would have gotten to this point on your own eventually. But, if I played a small part, then, uh, I’m glad I could do it. And I’d do anything to see you and mom together and happy again.

Bill: You’re hurt. You can’t understand how ridge could throw an annulment at you, and then rush off and marry taylor?

Brooke: No, I don’T. I don’t understand that at all.

Bill: I think you do, and you don’t want to admit it to yourself. You know that’s who ridge is. It’s who he’s always been. And now he’s gone because he’s chosen taylor again. For how long? Who knows? I mean, round and round he goes, where he stops, nobody knows. Come on, brooke. Do you really wanna be part of this pathetic merry-go-round, back and forth between you and taylor? Enough. You need to be with a man who loves only you. And that’s me.

Brooke: How can you say that bill? What about my sister? You may think you’re the man for me… but what about katie?

Bill: Katie is very important to me, and I will always appreciate what we had, and the family that we were. And I will love her for that. But she isn’t the woman I want. How could she be after what you and I shared? You’re the love of my life. The woman that I want. I can give you what ridge can’t, commitment. You just have to accept that he’s taylor’s problem now. Accept it, rejoice in it, and never let him come crawling back to you again.

Thomas: Oh, wow! You look beautiful.

Taylor: Thank you, thank you. Oh, it’s a– it’s a forrester original.

Thomas: Oh, yeah. That robe, I think I remember designing that. Yeah, but once you get the gown on, that’s going to be impressive. Dad’s gonna be blown away.

Steffy: Liam has kelly all dressed and ready to go, so you can just pick her up. All right, I love you. Okay, bye. That was finn, he’ll be here soon.

Ridge: There’s no rush, I’m sure your mom is nowhere near ready.

Steffy: As matron of honor, I have that woman on a schedule.

Eric: I don’t doubt that.

Steffy: Do you need help with anything else? Does douglas have his outfit on?

Ridge: Yeah, no, he’s dressed. He’s– he’s ready, but he, uh… went back to his room. Thomas said he wasn’t feeling great.

Eric: Hm.

Steffy: Really? Okay, I’ll go check on him.

Eric: Yeah. Tell him that there’ll be no more wedding cake for him if he doesn’t get into a better mood.

Steffy: All right.

Eric: All right. Here, fix this.

Ridge: Wha– I just fixed it.

Eric: No, you didn’T.

Ridge: Do you think it’s crooked?

Eric: Yeah, it’s crooked, why didn’t you use a mirror?

Ridge: I used a mirror, but I’m always glad for your help.

Eric: Okay.

Ridge: Thank you.

Eric: I’m always glad to help you. You need help, you know. Any advice you might need, I’d give you too.

Ridge: Oh, I need advice as well, from you?

Eric: Yeah, sometimes. Need a good listener… I think maybe you should be listening to that voice in the back of your head that’s telling you about that… phone call that brooke made.

Ridge: Dad, see I don’t wanna talk about that, not today.

Eric: I understand. And I also understand how you feel about taylor, I do. But I also know how you feel about brooke. Are you sure you wanna go ahead with this wedding today?

Bill: Forrester’s gone. No longer an option. I mean, y– you get that right? He’s marrying taylor.

Brooke: Ridge will realize he made a mistake, and then–

Bill: And what? What? You’re gonna be waiting for him to– to give you the gift of his return. Don’t you see how wrong that is?

Brooke: I just know that ridge is the man for me. I know it, I feel it.

Bill: He ended your marriage to be with taylor!

Brooke: Well, I just need you to understand and respect that you and I are not going to be together. Even though when we were, it was very magical. It’s just not going to happen again.

[ Door unlatching ]

Katie: Brooke? Bill? What are you…

[ Katie laughs ] Never mind. Ah, you found out that ridge is marrying taylor today, so… of course, you’re here! You’re ready to make your move on brooke.

Bill: Make my move? The woman I have been trying to make moves on or so long… just walked in. I’m glad to see you, my beautiful katie.

Taylor: You and your sister have made me feel so special today. Thank you.

Thomas: You deserve it, I mean, you deserve all the happiness that comes to you. Especially after everything you’ve been through with brooke, and what she’s done to your life over and over again. But, I kinda knew this day would happen.

Taylor: Yeah. You and steffy both did. You know, it’s almost like you willed it to happen.

Thomas: Yeah, yeah. It’s kind of crazy, right? What some, uh, positive thinking can do.

[ Phone beeping ]

Thomas: Brooke logan. Please hurry.

Douglas: Dad called cps on himself?

[ Knocking on door ]

Steffy: Douglas?

Douglas: Hey, aunt steffy.

Steffy: Hi. You okay?

Douglas: Yeah, I’m fine.

Steffy: Heard you’re not feeling well. You know, finn’s a doctor, he can take a look at you.

Douglas: No, it’s not that I’m sick. It’S…

Steffy: You upset? Whatever it is, douglas, you can tell me. (Vo) no matter what type of severe asthma you have,…

Katie: You’re glad to see me?

Bill: Of course, I am. Why wouldn’t I be?

Katie: I’m not brooke.

Bill: Your sister’s destiny is marrying someone else right now. I’ve been around logans long enough to know that you would show up here to support your sister, so that doesn’t surprise me. What does surprise me, is your timing. It gives me a chance to talk to you about us.

Katie: About us?

Bill: This marriage has me thinking… why should ridge and taylor be the only ones able to find their way back to each other? I’ve said it over and over again, we can fix this. We can. Why are we wasting time? Come back to me. Today.

Eric: Ridge, you know, if there’s A… if there’s any doubt in your mind at all… I mean, if– if there’s any thought that you might be rushing into this thing.

Ridge: Into marrying taylor? Really? You know how long I’ve loved this woman. You know how long the kids have tried to bring us back together. So, this is the opposite of rushing, whatever that is.

Eric: Yeah, okay, okay, I get it. I have to admit, I– I love seeing the smile on your face, taylor’s too. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen thomas and steffy as happy as they are right now.

Ridge: I know, they are happy. But I don’t think it is because their parents are getting back together, they’re happy because their lives are good. Steffy had a year, right? But she’s back and finn is here and… she’s so happy. And the same with thomas. Now, he’s finally the man that I want him to be.

[ Eric chuckles ]

Eric: Proud papa, huh?

Ridge: I’m very proud. I think of my kids and– and who they are in this world, and yeah. Makes me really, really happy.

Taylor: Hey. I just wanted to say thank you.

Thomas: For what?

Taylor: For all that positive thinking you were talking about. You and your sister never gave up. Even after I had, you refused to believe that it was the end for your father and me. And you were right. Look at me. We’re getting married today. A day I did not believe would ever come. But you did. So, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thomas: Oh, it’s okay. I’m glad it all worked out, you know. So much could have gone wrong.

Taylor: What? What could have gone wrong?

Thomas: You’re right, nothing could have gone wrong. I mean, I– I’ll always be here for you, and steffy and I, we’ll… we’ll always be there for our family. For you and dad. You know, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to make your dream come true. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to make a dream come true

[ Both laughing ]

Taylor: Oh.

Steffy: It makes me sad to think something’s upsetting you on such a wonderful day for our family. Your grandparents are getting married today. We should be celebrating.

Douglas: I guess.

Steffy: You guess? You know how they feel about each other, right?

Douglas: Well, yeah, but, what about grandma brooke?

Steffy: My father cares about brooke. But he realizes that he doesn’t wanna spend the rest of his life with her. Why are you bringing up brooke?

Thomas: You can’t say anything about that app. All right? Not a word.

Steffy: Did brooke say something to you?

Douglas: Not her, no.

Steffy: Then who? Douglas, you’re starting to worry me.

Douglas: It’s my dad.

Ridge: This romance is gonna last forever.

Eric: I’m happy for you, son. This is an exciting time for you, and taylor, and this family that you created together. And I… I understand your commitment to them. But if– if brooke is the love of your life and you cannot deny that she isn’T…

Ridge: “Always surround yourself with the people that make you the best person.” You know who said that? That guy. He’s right. I’m marrying taylor today.

Eric: Yeah.

Thomas: You realize how close you are to the marriage that never should’ve ended?

Taylor: Huh, yes, so close. So don’t jinx it.

Thomas: The– there’s no jinxing happening, all right? This is a done deal.

Taylor: It’s only a done deal after your father and i are pronounced husband and wife. I’m still haunted by the words from the last time we got married. “I now pronounce you man and–”

Thomas: Hooorse!

Taylor: Horse.

Thomas: No, no, mom, stop. That’s not gonna happen. Brooke– brooke is not coming in here and crashing this wedding. Not– not on a horse, not on a moose, not on a cow, not on a goose.

Taylor: Oh my god, I love you so much.

Steffy: Your dad?

Douglas: He’s the reason I’m upset.

Steffy: Why?

Douglas: Something I found out. Something he doesn’t want anyone else to know.

Steffy: And your dad asked you to keep it a secret? And that’s what’s stressing you out, isn’t it? You’ll feel a lot better if you tell me what’s going on.

Douglas: I can’t, dad will be so mad.

Steffy: I’ll handle your dad. And I’ll remind him that it’s not a good idea to keep secrets, okay? Hey, you can trust me.

Douglas: Well, there’s this app on my phone.

Steffy: Okay?

Douglas: And it’s really cool. You record someone’s voice, and it comes out sounding like someone else.

Steffy: That– that sounds cool, but what does that have to do with your father?

Douglas: Because there are some recordings he wants me to forget about. The ones that made him upset.

Steffy: Recordings you made?

Douglas: He made.

Steffy: Can I hear them?

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.

Steffy: I– I don’t understand. Why do you have brooke’s call to cps on your phone?

Douglas: It wasn’t her call. The app records something and it changes it to someone else’s voice. It’s supposed to be funny. Make people laugh. But this wasn’t funny.

Steffy: So, you’re saying this recording of brooke, it… it isn’t brooke?

Thomas: Hello, I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester. He’s at 369 willow hill road, los angeles.

Steffy: No, he wouldn’T. He wouldn’t do it.

Douglas: He took my phone, aunt steffy. He took it and used the app to make his voice sound like grandma brooke.

Steffy: Oh, my god.

[ Steffy sniffles ] Who– ah, um… so, that call to child protective services, it’s not brooke it– it’s thomas? Oh, no. No, no way. No, no, you– your– your father called cps on himself?

Douglas: To make grandad mad.

Steffy: To make him leave brooke.

Douglas: And marry grandma taylor.

Steffy: Oh my god.

[ Taylor exhales ]

[ Unzipping ]

Taylor: Caught ya!

[ Taylor laughs ]

Steffy: I couldn’t resist.

[ Whispering ] Your wedding dress… oh my god, mom.

[ Taylor giggles ]

Taylor: I know, I know. It’s one of your father’s creations. Look at you! Honey, you look gorgeous.

Steffy: Thank you. Not as gorgeous as that smile on that very happy face, mom. It’s finally here.

Taylor: I know.

Steffy: Your wedding to dad. Oh, my god. I cannot believe this.

Taylor: I know.

Carter: Looking pretty dapper, man.

Ridge: Hey! I don’t know why men bother, no one ever looks at the groom. It’s always the bride. The way it should be.

[ Carter laughs ]

Carter: Well, imagine how the officiant feels, huh? You need help with your cufflinks?

Ridge: Cufflinks, yes. Oh!

Carter: Did you forget them?

Ridge: I have a pair of cufflinks that taylor gave me years ago, and I should probably wear them.

Carter: Okay, where are they?

Ridge: Well, they’re at brooke’s house, in the hall closet in the drawer.

Carter: Mm, don’t worry, I’ll swing by and get them–

Ridge: I don’t want you doing that–

Carter: No, I’ll go through the back way, she’ll never know I’m there.

Ridge: You’re a lifesaver, thank you.

Carter: Yeah. Anything I can do to help. Even though…

Ridge: Even though what?

Carter: Even though, despite your love for taylor, I know you still love brooke.

Bill: I know about the wedding at eric’S.

[ Brooke sighs ]

Bill: Ridge didn’t waste any time.

Brooke: I was just looking at our wedding photo. We were so happy there. We thought for sure it would last forever this time.

Bill: All marriages start out that way. Sometimes things happen. I know this is a hard day for you. That’s why I’m here. For support. And to remind you that if you’re… thinking or… hoping that something, or someone will stop ridge from marrying taylor today… that isn’t going to happen. I know that’s hard to hear, but that’s the way it is, brooke.

Thomas: Hello. Hey, why aren’t you getting ready? The wedding is starting soon. Douglas, what’s up with you?

[ Keys rattling ]

Bill: I realize that forrester has been the center of your world for a very long time. And to think of moving forward without him is very difficult. But I’m here to tell you that you can, and you will, because you have your whole life in front of you, brooke. Turning the page on ridge can be a very good thing, presenting you with all kinds of opportunities. I’ve always loved you. I will never stop loving you. And if you give me… give us another chance, I will show you what true commitment is. I will make you happier than ridge ever did… or ever could.

Steffy: So, as matron of honor, what would you like me to do? Put me to work.

Taylor: Okay, okay, um… you know, I– I don’t know– my– my hair.

Steffy: Hair…

Taylor: Should I do up, down, to the side?

Steffy: Up or down, dad is not gonna be able to take his eyes off of you. Are you nervous?

Taylor: Oh, should I be?

Steffy: I don’t know. Spending your future with the man that you’ve loved for most of your life. Who you also have an amazing family with, you know…

Taylor: Yes, that is true.

Steffy: Mm-hmm, that it’s true.

Taylor: That is very true. I think we both know the answer to that.

Steffy: Okay, let me look at you.

Taylor: Okay.

Steffy: Okay, let’s play with your hair.

Taylor: Okay.

Steffy: Let’s see what we can do. Okay, sit, sit.

Taylor: All right. Look a– it’s not…

Steffy: Take it all out. Did you do this on your own?

Taylor: Yeah, a net and then it just…

Steffy: Okay.

Taylor: Look this is just… so I curled it.

Steffy: Hot mess mary, let’s go. Okay, maybe, um… hey.

Taylor: Huh? Yeah.

Steffy: Hey, mom. Are you okay?

Taylor: Yeah, I’m good. I just… I– I can’t stop thinking about this whole cps thing, that brooke was the one that called on your brother. And that is the reason that ridge came to aspen. He didn’t tell me when I asked him. Maybe because I would have kept running.

Thomas: Do you hear me? What’s going on with you?

Douglas: Nothing. Nothing is going on with me.

Thomas: Okay, well, then get dressed.

[ Thomas scoffs ] Your grandma and grandpa want you to be a part of the ceremony today.

Douglas: Do I have to?

Thomas: Do you love your grandparents?

Douglas: Yes.

Thomas: They’re counting on you. So am I.

Douglas: Counting on me to keep quiet, not tell everybody what you did to break up granddad and grandma brooke?

[ Thomas sighs ]

Eric: Katie, hi.

Katie: Hi. How did the meeting go?

Eric: It went very well, actually. Everything’s all wrapped up. How’s it here?

Katie: Oh, quiet. We don’t have any co-ceos, we have no coo. We have designers out of town. So, yeah, I’m sure you’re gonna be joining everyone for the festivities, huh?

Eric: I will. It’s a really big day for ridge and his family.

Katie: Yeah, his, uh, family with taylor, you mean. ‘Cause he has a family with brooke, too, right?

Eric: Yes, of course. I’m sorry, katie. I’m sorry. This can’t be an easy day for you either. You’re a big– you’re a big supporter of ridge and brooke.

Katie: You’re a big supporter of ridge and brooke. That’s why you know that taylor is not the love of ridge’s life. Brooke is.

Bill: You can’t keep doing this, brooke. I know the pull of the past is strong, especially today, but your marriage to forrester, the vows you took–

Brooke: Those vows mean as much to me today as they ever did.

Bill: But not to ridge. For whatever reason, he moved away from you and toward taylor. Once again, letting you down, leaving you heartbroken.7 you know what it does to me, seeing you hurting like this when ridge has just moved on, even though he had pledged to love, honor, cherish you… just words to ridge? Apparently so, given what he’s done to you.

Steffy: Okay. Mom, your makeup looks flawless.

Taylor: My makeup? Oh, my god, honey, I haven’t even started really.

Steffy: Well, it must be that special glow all brides have when they’re marrying their true love.

Taylor: Oh, you mean the one that you still have after marrying finn?

Steffy: That is true. I’m happier than I’ve ever been. Even more so now, now that my parents are remarrying, it’s like icing on the most special wedding cake.

Taylor: Mm.

Steffy: I doubt brooke feels the same.

Taylor: Yeah, especially after what she tried to do to thomas. Calling cps on him, lying to your dad’s face about it. I know that hurt ridge a lot.

Thomas: Whoa, good timing.

Ridge: Hey!

Thomas: Best man reporting for duty. How’s the old groom holding up?

Ridge: A better question is, how’s your mom doing?

Thomas: You afraid she’s gonna get scared, maybe bail last minute?

Ridge: It’s a forrester wedding, there’s always drama.

Thomas: Nah, that’s not gonna happen this time. This time it’s going perfectly and smoothly.

Ridge: Right. You know that?

Thomas: I do because steffy and I have been waiting for this wedding for a long time. So, both of us are gonna make sure it goes according to plan. You and steffy have always been our biggest champions, thank you.

Thomas: It’s ’cause we love you. I mean, I love you. You’ve– I’ve done some pretty not so great stuff in the past, and um… but you were there for me, you know, you– you helped me through it, and you helped me pull myself together.

Ridge: Well, you did most of it.

Thomas: Yeah. And we have faith in you two. I have faith in your relationship with mom and how committed you are to her. And, you know what? Everything has been worth it. That leads up to this point to make sure that you and mom end up together and happy again. Super emma just about sleeps in her cape.

Eric: I admire taylor, I really do. And I– I celebrate the family that she and ridge have together. But I don’t disagree with you, katie. I don’T. I think that ridge and brooke belong together still. In spite of this wedding today and whatever caused the annulment.

Katie: Then why are you supporting this marriage? When in your heart, you know it’s not the end for ridge and brooke.

Bill: I know this is killing you, but you have to look forward, not behind, brooke. Ridge made his choice. And you can make yours, right now. I’ve never made a secret of my feelings for you. Yes, I married your sister and I will always love katie, but not the way that I love you. You never tried to change me. I would never try to change you. Why would I? You are this magnificent, gorgeous, adventurous woman who makes me feel more alive, more turned on by life than any other woman. I know you’re in pain right now but let me help you get to the other side of that. Into the kind of future you deserve with a man who is totally devoted to you. I am that man. I’m your future. You are the woman I want. Not katie. You.

Steffy: So, are you bucking tradition? Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue…

Taylor: You think I’m tempting fate?

Steffy: No. You and dad, this wedding, it was meant to be.

Taylor: You never gave up faith, did you? You always knew that this day would happen.

Steffy: I did. Though to be completely honest, there were some… some dark days. Where I thought brooke’s hooks would be in dad forever. But those days are gone, in part due to the cps call, and the lies that followed… and dad was again reminded what he has in you and not in brooke. A woman of integrity and honesty, and a woman he could spend the rest of his life with loving and being loved. That’s why he’s marrying you, mom. Not because of what brooke did.

Taylor: I know, sweetie. I know.

Thomas: Look, dad, I know that you’re not marrying mom because of something brooke did. You’re doing it ’cause you love her, and you really want to be with her. I get that. And that call to cps, that was– that was just one of many final straws. Mom would never do that, and she would never lie to you, and she never cheat on you. It’s ’cause she loves you. Still dad, I wish you hadn’t told everyone about that call. Like, can we at least agree to not tell brooke about it? She can’t know, dad. She can never know.

Steffy: What about your vows? Did you and dad write your own?

Taylor: You’re just gonna have to wait and see.

Steffy: You’re not gonna tell your matron of honor? Wow!

Taylor: Let’s just say you’ll be very pleased.

Steffy: So, you did write your own.

Taylor: Ugh, steffy, honestly…

Steffy: Fine, have your secret. We’ll find out soon enough.

Taylor: You know, I’ve been thinking a lot about phoebe today. And stephanie. I wish they were here.

Steffy: They are.

Taylor: Yeah, they are.

Steffy: This is everything they’ve ever wanted. You and dad happily reunited. Living your best years, married, together, and in love. You’re finally getting your happily ever after. And I couldn’t be more excited, mom.

Taylor: You’re gonna make me cry.

Steffy: Well, thank goodness you don’t have your full glam on just yet. Just know how much I love you. And I’ll always be there for you and dad. No matter what.

Taylor: I love you, too.

Steffy: I love you.

Taylor: My beautiful daughter.

Ridge: You know what, thomas? I don’t wanna talk about brooke or the call that she made. And I thought– I still think, that people deserve to know the truth. You’re in trouble.

Douglas: Why am I in trouble?

Ridge: Why are you in trouble? Because you get to come here, looking like that and show up the groom. It’s not cool. Glad you’re here. Really making this a family affair. I know, weddings are boring. Old people gushing about each other.

Douglas: No, it’s not that.

Ridge: No?

Douglas: I wanna be happy for you and grandma.

Thomas: And you should be. ‘Cause they’re wonderful together. They belong together. They make each other happy. Never forget that.

Douglas: May I go back to my room ’til the wedding starts?

Thomas: Yeah, sure.

Ridge: Come on. What’s going on? Is he okay?

Thomas: Yeah, yeah. You know, don’t– don’t worry about him. Just, uh, focus on mom. Making her the happiest woman that she possibly could ever be today.

Ridge: Yeah. You know who’s really happy right now? This guy. And I know I’ve said it before, I’ve got to say it again. I’m so proud of you. Proud of the choices you made, the man you’ve become, the father you are to douglas. And I got to tell you, this day, all of this wouldn’t happen without your help. Thank you. Come on.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Brooke? Brooke really called cps on thomas?

Ridge: I thought he should have all the facts.

Taylor: And ridge, you’re sure, you’re sure that it was brooke?

Eric: But the brooke I know would never do such a thing.

Ridge: Well, I didn’t want to believe it, either.

Steffy: She tried getting his son taken away from him?

Ridge: I don’t know what she was thinking, steffy. I don’t know.

Finn: There’s no doubt it was her?

Eric: Look, we all know that brooke had issues with thomas, but for her to do this? Come on.

Taylor: Yeah, why– why would she do this?

Steffy: Because she hates us, mom. Are we really surprised?

Taylor: No, no. I’m just, I’m– I’m completely in shock right now. She went after our son, and he is such a– such a good influence on douglas.

Brooke: You guys don’t have to stay with me.

Donna: Brooke, we’re your sisters. We are not going anywhere.

Katie: Yeah, especially since hope is out of town.

Brooke: Well, she didn’t want to cancel her business trip, but I didn’t want her sitting around just holding my hand.

Katie: And that’s why you have us.

Brooke: Thank you. I still can’t believe it.

Donna: Neither can we.

Brooke: I just signed annulment papers and ridge is already moving on.

Donna: It’s way too soon.

Katie: And it shouldn’t be happening at all.

Brooke: I guess this is what he wants.

Katie: No, it’s not. It can’t be!

Brooke: Well, then why isn’t he here with me? It just– doesn’t feel right. And he’s really going through with it. He’s going to marry taylor tomorrow.

Brooke: You could have stayed for the rehearsal dinner. You didn’t have to leave on my account.

Donna: Are you kidding? I couldn’t wait to get out of there. Sitting there with a fake smile on my face–

Katie: Pretending to celebrate a marriage that is doomed from the start.

Donna: And I told eric I– I wouldn’t make the wedding tomorrow either. He understands. It hurts me. You know, watching ridge and taylor, knowing how much it hurts you.

Katie: I’m so sorry you’re going through this.

Donna: And, you know, honestly, let’s get real. I mean, ridge going from one woman to the next? How does taylor not see this as a big red flag?

Katie: What I don’t get is the thomas connection. You said that he has something to do with why you and ridge aren’t together?

Steffy: Brooke called cps on my brother? I mean, I knew she was horrible, but this? Are you serious?

Taylor: This is, um, this is unforgivable.

Eric: Look, this is just some kind of a misunderstanding. Obviously, brooke wouldn’t do anything like this. Who told you it was her?

Ridge: Like I said, I heard the conversation. I heard it!

Steffy: So no question it was brooke.

Douglas: Grandma brooke’s call? That was the processed voice, not the original.

Thomas: I– I don’t really think you know what you’re talking about here, bud.

Douglas: Yes, I do. I heard it. I heard you. You made that call in her voice. You did it so granddad would get mad and wanna be with grandma taylor instead. Admit it.

Ridge: Thomas, you heard it, back me up.

Thomas: I heard what you did, dad. It was definitely brooke’s voice. Are you feeling sluggish or weighed down?

Brooke: Have I missed something? I– I just keep replaying our conversations.

Katie: I hate that you’re feeling like this. I just wish we could help you put the pieces together.

Brooke: You guys just being here for me, that’s enough. Really.

Donna: But there’s still, there’s– there’s got to be more to the story. Of course, your feelings about thomas, your very valid feelings, I might add, that might add a little friction to a marriage, but…

Katie: My god, how is it possible that ridge and taylor don’t see thomas for who he really is?

Brooke: I don’t know!

Katie: I mean, look at his past. Look at his obsession with hope.

Brooke: He’s a pro at this point. He’s just a total con artist. Just keeps picking away at those threads, trying to unravel my marriage so that his family wins.

Thomas: I, uh, told douglas to hang out in his room.

Steffy: Yeah, it’s probably best he isn’t here to listen to what brooke did.

Thomas: I agree.

Taylor: You must feel so betrayed.

Thomas: Well, you know, dad’s the one that got manipulated.

Taylor: Yeah, she called cps on our son. He could’ve had his parental rights taken away.

Steffy: So hope could have douglas full time.

Finn: That was brooke’s reason?

Taylor: How do you think, ridge? Is that why she did it, so that thomas and douglas couldn’t be together?

Ridge: I don’t know. I’m shocked as you are.

Taylor: But you– you didn’t say anything. You knew this before you came to aspen and you didn’t say anything?

Steffy: Dad, please don’t tell me you were protecting brooke. She targeted thomas.

Thomas: Yeah, you know, dad and I actually, we promised we wouldn’t say anything to anyone, especially brooke.

Eric: So brooke doesn’t know that you’re aware of this?

Ridge: No, she doesn’T.

Thomas: You know what? Brooke threatened to call cps, and then cps showed up at the door, so I’m pretty sure she could figure it out.

Steffy: And you expect us not to say anything? She needs to be called out!

Thomas: Brooke is already out of our lives and dad’s already said goodbye.

Steffy: She can’t get off this easy.

Thomas: If I can let it go, so can you.

Steffy: So mom and me just have to pretend like nothing ever happened? What?

Thomas: What is going to happen if you– yeah, I know. I get it. I get the feeling you want to go over there and you want to make sure that brooke gets what she deserves. I totally get that, but what’s she going to do? She’s going to come over here and she’s going to cry and beg and plead to him because she wants forgiveness. But he’s already moved on and he’s getting married to our mom. Alright? Let’s just put brooke behind us. Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Donna: I don’t trust thomas. Honestly, he has always given off, like, weird vibes.

Katie: I mean, look at the way he’s using douglas to lure hope over to eric’s house.

Brooke: I agree! I am sick of talking about thomas. He’s had too much power over my life as it is. And I know ridge is just being protective of his son, I mean, the same way I’m being protective of my children.

Katie: You don’t let them dictate your life. I mean, they’ve had issues with ridge over the years, but you work it out.

Brooke: Right. If you say vows, you’ve got to stick with it, right? You have to work through that. But there’s ridge! He’s exchanging vows with somebody else.

Donna: So wrong. So, so wrong.

Brooke: Yeah, it is. That whole family is over there at eric’s, waiting to just celebrate his marriage tomorrow.

Katie: I don’t know how ridge can celebrate anything knowing that you’re here heartbroken.

Ridge: Alright, can we be done with this now? We’re supposed to celebrate–

Taylor: No, ridge, this is– this is very important.

Eric: I need some details here. How did any of this happen?

Ridge: What do you want to know, dad? It’s her voice, I heard it, I didn’t wanna listen to it.

Finn: How did this all start?

Thomas: You remember knife-gate? You know, brooke freaking out because i had a tiny little pocket knife that I used to cut up an apple?

Taylor: Yes, and she was afraid that douglas was there.

Thomas: Yeah, except it wasn’t a big deal, and douglas couldn’t care less.

Ridge: Well, obviously, it was a big deal to brooke because cps showed up here shortly thereafter.

Steffy: You’re telling me she freaked out because you were eating an apple?

Thomas: Yeah.

Taylor: She was looking for an excuse to make you appear unstable, and that was it.

Thomas: Right. But regardless, dad wanted to know why they showed up. So–

Ridge: Right, so thomas suggested we reach out to someone that actually worked for forrester for a while, walter. He now works for a company that works for child protective services. And we got in touch with him and asked him if we could listen to the recording.

Agent: Child protective services.

Brooke’s voice: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester. His father, thomas forester, is unstable. He has a knife.

Agent: And your name, ma’am?

Brooke’s voice: Brooke logan.

Ridge: And unfortunately, it was brooke. I’ve never been so blindsided in my life that someone would want to do this to my son.

Taylor: And then you– you came to aspen. This is– the whole thing’s unbelievable.

Steffy: This just proves she isn’t worthy of you.

Thomas: Yeah. And now, brooke, isn’t going to hurt you anymore.

Eric: Look, I’m sorry I’m hearing all this, you know, but I’m finding it very hard to believe.

Ridge: Okay. No, I can see that. But why is that? I’m telling you, I heard the recording. We both heard the recording. She said her name!

Eric: Did you confront brooke about it?

Ridge: I gave her every chance to come clean. To maybe try to explain or apologize, but she said nothing. The only thing she did say was that, oh, my god, how could anyone do that to thomas? She lied to my face and then she came to aspen.

Brooke: I know you, ridge. I know there’s something that you’re not saying, and I wish you would just– just say it.

Ridge: Why are you doing this? 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?

Steffy: I’m sorry, dad.

Finn: Yeah, I can’t imagine how hard that must have been.

Taylor: I wish I would have known. I wish I would have known that you were struggling. Both of you.

Thomas: It’s not about me. I just feel bad for dad.

Steffy: Well, since we’re being honest with each other, what brooke did, as awful as it is, I have to ask you, dad. Is this why you’re marrying mom? During walmart’s black friday

Brooke: I love ridge. And I know he loves me, too.

Donna: Of course he still loves you, brooke. I’m sure he’s thinking about you day and night.

Katie: Ridge will never love anyone the way he loves you.

Brooke: I just miss him so much already. I’m trying to come to terms with the fact that he’s going to marry taylor tomorrow.

Donna: It just seems so final, but maybe it isn’T. You know maybe– maybe there’s still hope.

Brooke: I don’t know what to do, donna. I don’t know what more I can say to get through to him. I don’t know why he’s doing this, why he’s marrying taylor, leaving me. All I know is that he still loves me.

Katie: Well, it’s clear that something happened to make ridge leave and it’s not his undying love for taylor and the fact that he can’t live without her, which means that that marriage doesn’t stand a chance. So don’t give up on your life with ridge.

Steffy: Dad, I don’t mean to put you on the spot in front of mom, in front of everyone, but I do need to know why you’re marrying her. I’m sure she’s wondering too.

Ridge: No, you’re not putting me on the spot. It’s a fair question. Brooke broke my trust in so many ways, but that’s not why I’m here. I’m here… because I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I deserve that. Someone loyal. Someone honest.

Taylor: I love you, too. And you’ve said so many wonderful things to me and I believe you. I do. And you’ve shown me. You’ve shown me that you want to be with me. So I’m going to continue to believe you. No matter what.

Thomas: Yeah, and mom, he’s not with you because of what brooke did. You know that. What she did was just one of a million reasons why he could break free.

Steffy: I just wanted to be sure, dad, that you’re sure.

Ridge: I get it.

Thomas: Well, you know what? You two are a magnificent couple. I’ve watched you since we were kids. And, uh, like I said before, you have a love that not very many people do. It’s pretty impressive and, uh, you know, it’s been a long time. But after a few obstacles, you made your way back to each other. And here we are. So, uh, to the wonderful couple and the beautiful days ahead.

Eric: Absolutely. Cheers.

Finn: Cheers.

Thomas: Cheers.

Finn: Steffy, the kids, and I couldn’t be happier for you two.

Steffy: We are so happy, we are over the moon. We absolutely adore you.

Ridge: What’s not to like?

Taylor: You know, I am so excited to be your wife again. I’ll tell you something, ridge forrester, I– I’m going to make this so good for you.

Ridge: Yeah?

Taylor: Yeah, I really am.

Ridge: I know.

Taylor: I’m never going to let you down and i will always be honest with you. I promise you that.

Steffy: Okay, okay. You have the wedding tom– woah, woah, woah. Okay. We have the wedding tomorrow. All this sweet chit chat– mom, let’s talk about the wedding and everything.

Taylor: Okay, we’ll be back.

Thomas: I mean, hey, I’m a fashion designer. Shouldn’t I be in on the whole dress–

Steffy: This is girl time!

Thomas: I’m like chopped liver over here, what’s goin’ on?

Ridge: Well then rework the deal.

Justin: Well, just this clause. We determine the delivery schedule. We can’t afford any delays.

Carter: We all know how you like to take things slow.

Justin: Oh, yeah. I heard about the big news. So you and taylor are getting hitched, huh? Congratulations.

Ridge: Thank you.

Carter: Well, don’t let his subdued reaction fool you, justin. Taylor makes this guy as happy as I’ve ever seen him. Right? I mean, deep down, we both know you still love brooke.

Donna: You see it as clearly as I see it.

Eric: Yes, I do. I mean, ridge– ridge is never going to stop loving brooke, but he’s chosen to make his future with taylor and so here we are.

Donna: And your family wants to celebrate that. I get that, but I– I can’T. Not when brooke is in so much pain.

Eric: I know. I understand.

Donna: It’s gonna be a really rough night for brooke.

Eric: Come home after, though.

Donna: Of course. Yes. But I’m not going to be able to make it to the wedding tomorrow, eric. As much as it pains me not to see my honey bear in his tux, so debonair.

Eric: Debonair. Okay. All right. I’ll text you when this is finished tonight, alright?

Donna: Okay.

Eric: And tell brooke I’m sorry.

Donna: No, no, no, no, she’s not– she’s not going to be alone. I got this. Oh, hi.

Taylor: Oh, hi, donna.

Donna: I was just on my way out.

Taylor: Oh, okay.

Donna: Have a good wedding.

Taylor: Thank you.

Donna: Oh, excuse me.

Taylor: Sure.

Finn: Donna’s leaving?

Eric: Yeah, she’s going to brooke’S.

Taylor: Yeah, I mean, she– she could’ve stayed.

Steffy: I really can’t see any logan celebrating your reunion with dad, mom.

Eric: No, I can’t either. She won’t be coming to the wedding tomorrow either. Hi.

Steffy: I think it’s for the best. It’s taken a long time for my parents to get back together. You need to be focused on each other. Nothing is gonna interfere with this wedding.

Thomas: Hey, bud. Why aren’t you dressed for the party?

Douglas: I’m not going.

Thomas: Hey, we’re all going. It’s a big family dinner. You love those.

Douglas: I know, but I hate lying to everybody about the real reason my granddad and grandma brooke aren’t together. Don’t they need to know?

Eric: Well, we seem to be missing a few forrester’s here.

Steffy: Dad is wrapping up some work at the office.

Finn: Yeah. Didn’t you say, zende, he’s out of town?

Steffy: Yeah. He’s making a great impression with the east coast buyers.

Eric: I’m sure he is.

Taylor: You know, I’m surprised that douglas and thomas haven’t made an appearance.

Steffy: I’m sure douglas is getting ready. On an occasion like this, I’m sure he wants to look his best

Taylor: You’re right. That’s my grandson. Always wanting to make his family proud.

Eric: Hmm.

Douglas: We always tell the truth.

Thomas: Okay. Look, getting upset, it isn’t gonna help anything. Especially tonight. So the best thing you can do is just put it out of your mind.

Douglas: But, dad, you made it sound like grandma brooke was the one trying to call those people, but it was you. You used my app to change your voice to hers.

Thomas: Yeah. You know, this– this whole thing is just a very complicated adult situation.

Douglas: But now granddad thinks grandma brooke wanted them to take me away from you.

Thomas: She did want to take you away from me. She doesn’t want you living with me. She doesn’t think you’re safe here. But I know you’re safe here and you know you’re safe here. Your granddad is actually happier with grandma taylor. Okay? So there’s nothing, nothing at all to feel guilty about here.

Douglas: But grandma brooke didn’t do anything.

Thomas: Your grandma brooke has been trying to keep our family apart for years. I don’t want to talk bad about your grandma to you. Grandma taylor and your grandpa, they’re in love. Okay? So nothing at all should stop this wedding from going forward. Do you understand?

Ridge: I’m not denying that. I still love brooke. I never will.

Carter: But you’re not married anymore. So what happened? What changed?

Brooke’s voice: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester.

>>Agent: And your name, ma’am?

Brooke’s voice: Brooke logan. Please hurry.

Ridge: What are you doing? I’m getting married tomorrow. Why are you talking about brooke?

Justin: Ridge, taylor is an amazing woman, but from what I’m picking up on, if you still have feelings for brooke, hey, that’s something to think about.

Ridge: You too? Really?

Carter: If you don’t want to talk about it, we can drop it.

Ridge: I don’T.

Carter: Fine. I know it wasn’t a simple decision for you. I don’t want to complicate things, but as your friend, I have to ask, are you sure about this? Are you really going through with this wedding?

Brooke: I was just about to ask the same thing.

Ridge: Would you excuse us, please?

Brooke: So is it true? Is this really happening? You’re going to marry taylor tomorrow? If advanced lung cancer

Katie: Brooke is in with ridge right now?

Carter: Yes. And please tell me she already knew about the wedding.

Katie: Why?

Carter: Because no one should overhear news like that, I’d never forgive myself.

Katie: You don’t owe my sister an apology. Ridge owes her an apology, along with an explanation as to why this is happening. Something that might make sense.

Carter: Well, if he has one, I haven’t heard it.

Katie: You’re his best friend.

Carter: He’s been pushing me out. I’m concerned. I mean, he says this is what he wants, but, I just– I don’t know. It doesn’t make any sense. Taylor’s incredible. Right, they have a connection, but what he has with your sister, katie, is not over. He still loves br–

Katie: Of course he does. Yes, he does. I mean. They were just reuniting. They were talking about their future together and how they’ve overcome all of these recent obstacles. And now he wants an annulment and he’s pledging his life to taylor tomorrow. Why? Why?

Thomas: Okay. Alright. You, um, you actually look great, but we could put a smile on your face. Come on. It’s a happy occasion. There you go. Okay.

Taylor: Oh, there they are!

Eric: Hey!

Taylor: Hi.

Eric: Oh, wow. Don’t you look dapper.

Taylor: So handsome.

Douglas: Thanks.

Taylor: And if ridge gets here, we can get this party started.

Thomas: Right? Yes.

Brooke: This is why you wanted the annulment?

Ridge: I really should be going.

Brooke: No, please don’t run from me, ridge, please–

Ridge: I’m not running from you. I’m going to dad’S. He’s– he’s got a little party or dinner or something.

Brooke: A rehearsal dinner?

Ridge: Something like that.

Ridge: I’m sorry. I never meant to hurt you.

Brooke: I just need you to be honest with me.

Ridge: Honest? Yeah, well, that needs to go both ways.

Brooke: I don’t even know what that means.

Ridge: Why are we doing this again? That’s not– we’ve done this already. We had a beautiful life together. It was amazing, but it turned out we couldn’t give each other what we needed.

Brooke: Ridge, we can if we try.

Ridge: It’s too late, the papers are signed, it’s done.

Brooke: I don’t give a damn about the papers. I didn’t want to sign the papers. I did that to make you happy. I love you and I know you love me.

Ridge: I have to go.

Brooke: No, ridge. Just tell me, please. You’re really marrying taylor?

Ridge: You know what I want? I want you to have everything you ever desired in your life. I want you to have peace and happiness, and know that I will always love you. Cats really know how to do… less,

Katie: Hey, pam said that ridge left. Oh. Are you okay?

Brooke: I shouldn’t have come here. I don’t know what I was thinking.

Katie: Well, what happened? Did you and ridge argue?

Brooke: No, he told me how much he loves me. And then he walked out that door to be with taylor and his other family.

Donna: Oh, brooke.

Brooke: I mean, it’s– it’s really happening.

Donna: And you tried to talk ridge out of it?

Brooke: Yeah. I tried to talk some sense into him. I told him how much I love him and that I want a future with him. It didn’t really matter. He’s marrying taylor tomorrow.

Taylor: It’s– it’s perfect, eric. Thank you. They’re beautiful.

Eric: These flowers are all from stephanie’s garden. She would have wanted to be a part of this so much.

Taylor: Yeah.

Eric: She loved you.

Taylor: And I loved her, too. Thank you, eric. Thank you so much. This is so beautiful. I couldn’t have asked for anything more special. And I’m sure ridge would feel the same.

Steffy: I wonder where he could be. Thomas, why don’t you give him a call?

Thomas: You know what, my phone is actually upstairs, uh–

Eric: You know, we’ve already started this party without him.

Ridge: No. A party without me, you wouldn’t do that.

Thomas: Hey, dad, good to see you.

Finn: My wife was getting impatient.

Ridge: Shocker.

Steffy: It took you long enough.

Ridge: Well, I’ll tell you what. Tomorrow– hey! Tomorrow I’ll be on time, I promise.

Taylor: Yes, you better be.

Ridge: Sorry.

Eric: You got, uh– you got caught up at work?

Ridge: Yeah, something I had to take care of.

Thomas: Well, you know, that doesn’t really matter because you’re here now.

Ridge: Thank you very much.

Thomas: With your family and with the woman you’re going to spend the rest of your life with.

Eric: And may that life be filled with laughter and love.

Finn: Hear, hear.

Thomas: Hey, you know what? If we’re doing toasts, then I’d like to give one.

Steffy: Shouldn’t we wait until the wedding?

Thomas: No, you know what? I have been waiting my entire life for this, so I think I’m going to go ahead and get it out there. Uh, can you imagine that? Wanting something for your entire life and then finally having it happen right in front of you. And I– I can’t express how happy I am. We all know how incredible their relationship is. We can feel the love in this room, right? There’s no stronger love than between the two of you because this is the kind of love that– that endures. It’s the kind of love that doesn’t come and go with passing emotions. It’s true love and that kind of love, you need to– you need to protect because it’s precious.

Ridge: Oh, yes. Your mother’s precious. She’s– one of a kind.

Steffy: She’s perfect.

Thomas: Yes. And there is no one more devoted to you than her. I mean, honestly, I’ve never met, uh, someone who is as loyal and as honest as our mother. You know, she– she’ll never disappoint you, and she’ll never let you down.

Taylor: I will drink to that.

Thomas: Alright.

Ridge: Me too. Nice job.

Thomas: To mom and dad.

Taylor: Thank you.

Ridge: Cheers.

Eric: Nicely done.

Taylor: Thank you.

Finn: That’s gonna be tough to beat.

Steffy: I think my brother spoke for all of us.

Eric: I think I’d like to hear from the groom. No, really, I can see how much the two of you love each other. And I– I celebrate that. And I respect how much you want to have your family together. The fact is, I just don’t know exactly how it happened– how all this happened. Your heart is the beat of life.

Donna: I told eric that I would be home later, but I can stay here. You know what? I– I can even move in with you for a little while, if you need that.

Brooke: No, no, thank you. It’s not necessary.

Katie: We’re not gonna let you go through this alone. If you need to lean on us, we’re here.

>>Donna: Yeah.

Brooke: Thanks. I just can’t believe this is happening.

Donna: Nobody can. I mean, even eric is stunned.

Katie: Has ridge said anything to him? I mean, given him any idea why this is happening?

Donna: Nothing. No. Nothing.

Brooke: It’s just really strange. We’ve always been able to communicate and even if we were apart, I always knew what he was thinking and feeling. And now, I– I don’t even know what happened. I mean, it can’t fix it if I don’t know what went wrong.

Katie: He won’t tell you?

Brooke: No, not even now, the night before his wedding. He won’t tell me why he ended our marriage.

Katie: This is just crazy. It’s insane.

Donna: Ridge is just making a big mistake.

Brooke: Maybe I made the mistake signing those annulment papers. I didn’t know he was going to rush into another marriage.

Katie: No, no. You did the only thing that you could do.

Brooke: I mean, ridge and I are really deeply connected. And I believe that our bond was unbreakable. I thought this time we were going to be together. Forever.

[ Sighs ]

Eric: Look, this is all happening so quickly. I– I’m just curious. What set it in motion?

Ridge: Why do you do that?

Eric: Wh– what?

Ridge: None of this was quick. This wasn’t– come on, I– I think he needs to know the whole story. I’m sorry.

Taylor: What?

Ridge: You know, there- there was a moment. Yes, a definite moment when I woke up, but that was after years and years of my kids telling me over and over again that– that a real relationship needs to have honesty and– and loyalty. Do you remember when child services came to your house looking for douglas? You remember that?

Eric: Yeah. Of course I do. Okay?

Steffy: Dad, what does this have to do with your wedding?

Taylor: Well, I’m just curious who made that call.

Ridge: Well, I’m not curious at all because I know who made the call. Thomas knows who made the call. We’ve known for weeks.

Steffy: Who was it? Who had the audacity to do something like this?

Ridge: Brooke. Brooke called child services on my son. That was the moment. Douglas, I’m sorry and you shouldn’t have to hear this. I don’t– I don’t get it. I’m sure you don’t get it either.

Thomas: You know what, douglas, maybe– maybe you should probably go upstairs.

>>Douglas: No.

Steffy: Brooke wanted to take douglas away from his father?

Finn: Why?

Taylor: Wow, this is shocking.

Eric: Wait, I don’t get this. Brooke made this call? I mean, I know she has issues with thomas, but she would never call child services on him.

Eric: Are you sure?

Ridge: Am I sure? Yeah, I’m sure.

Eric: How do you know? How do you know?

Ridge: Because I heard her voice. Thomas heard her voice. It was her, there’s no doubt.

Steffy: Yes. If you can guarantee those numbers, that would be great. We can pick some times and dates for– yes. Yes. We’ll be chatting soon.

Ridge: [ Whispering ] Get off the phone.

Steffy: Okay. All right. Thanks. Bye bye. What in the world’s going on? Why are you acting so strange?

Taylor: Are you ready?

Steffy: Ready for what?

[ Taylor laughing ] Yes. Yes. I’m– yes.

Taylor: Are– are you– are you really ready?

Steffy: I– I’m really, really ready. What’s going on? What?

[ Steffy gasping ] Oh, my gosh! Oh my god. Dad, you proposed?

Ridge: And surprisingly, your mother said yes.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Mom. Let me see. Let me see.

[ Steffy gasping ] Oh, my goodness. Congratulations. Oh, I’m so happy for you.

Taylor: Yes. Your father and I are getting married.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Steffy: Oh!

Thomas: All right. Here’s what I’m thinking. You don’t have any school today, right? So I think you should come to work with me and maybe help me out with some designs. What do you say?

Douglas: Whatever.

Thomas: Whatever? Come on. What kind of answer is that? I want some enthusiasm here. Forrester creations is your birthright, after all. And it’s never too early to start learning about the company. You’re not gonna sit around and sulk all day, are you?

Douglas: I’m sorry, dad. But I just can’t stop thinking about what you did to grandma brooke. That was wrong.

Katie: So, thomas just showed up?

Brooke: At first, I thought he was looking for hope, but really he was here to throw ridge and taylor in my face. You should have heard him.

Katie: That’s so weird. I mean, lately, he seems like he’s been a little more subtle than that.

Brooke: Well, the mask slipped, if only for a second, and then he went into poor, misunderstood thomas mode. But I see him clearly. I know who he is, and I don’t trust him. Not for a second. And it always seems like he’s hiding something.

Katie: I know how you feel about thomas, and I don’t blame you, but the stance that you’ve taken has definitely put a strain on your relationship with ridge.

Brooke: I’m not sure how much of a relationship we have left, considering we both signed annulment papers, and I’m not even sure why.

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. I wanted this for so long. I– I can’t believe this is real.

Ridge: Well, I believe it. Your mom and I are getting married again.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Steffy: Okay. I have to see this again.

Taylor: I know. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?

Steffy: Dad, you did good.

Ridge: I have my moments.

Steffy: This moment is great. Dad, you finally did it.

Eric: Did what? All right. What have you done now, ridge?

Steffy: Dad proposed to mom, and mom said yes.

Thomas: Look, bud. I– I don’t expect you to fully understand. Like you’re just a little boy and this is a complicated adult situation.

Douglas: No, it’s not, dad. You pretended to be grandma brooke on my voice app. You called child protective services on yourself to break up her marriage with granddad. That was wrong.

Restless nights fogging up

your day?

Brooke: I’ve been asking ridge over and over again, why are you ending our marriage?

Katie: And what does he say?

Brooke: He’s just been very vague.

Katie: That’s so weird. Ridge has always been so direct.

Brooke: He keeps saying that he’s committed to taylor now, and what do I think happened? But I just kept pressing him. I told him, I don’t think he really wants to end our life together.

Katie: How did he respond to that?

Brooke: He said he doesn’t want any of this.

Katie: Oh.

Brooke: So, I told him we need to communicate. And he said it’s not that simple.

Katie: He’s the one making it difficult by not telling you why he left.

Brooke: God, I know. Exactly. And I asked him is it bill or is it deacon? And he said no.

Katie: Did you believe him?

Brooke: Oh, yeah. I did. But then he implied that it had something to do with his son. That’s why I don’t trust thomas. He always wanted ridge and me to break up and for his parents to be together. And now that ridge and i signed annulment papers, I’m afraid that might be happening.

Donna: You two are engaged? What about brooke? Didn’t– didn’t you two just–

Eric: Yeah, um. What about brooke? Wow. Well, congratulations.

[ Taylor chuckling ] You know your own mind, ridge. You know what you need to be happy. And apparently, that’s taylor. So, congratulations. Both of you.

Ridge: Thank you, dad.

Taylor: Hey, this is as much of a shock to me as it is to you. Okay? I– I know you have always been so supportive of ridge and brooke. I know how much you love her. This has gotta be very hard for you. I understand.

Steffy: About time.

Thomas: Hey. Hey, granddad. What did I miss?

Steffy: You have no idea. Hey, douglas.

Ridge: Shouldn’t you be in school?

Douglas: It’s a free day.

Ridge: Oh, nice.

Thomas: Yeah. Well, I thought, what– what better way to spend this free day than shadowing his dad.

Ridge: Never too early to start.

Taylor: Yeah. That is an excellent idea.

Thomas: That’s what I said. You look like you’re about to burst. What’s up?

Steffy: No, no, no, no. I’m– no, it– it’s– it’s really good news. You’re gonna– you’re gonna– you’re gonna love it. And I’m glad that you’re here too. Mom, just– just show them.

Taylor: Okay. Okay.

Thomas: Shut the front door. You’re engaged?

Taylor: Yes. Yes.

Thomas: That’s amazing. Wow.

Steffy: I know, right?

Thomas: This is incredible.

Steffy: Really is.

Thomas: Golly. Well, you have no idea how much steffy and i wanted this.

Ridge: I think we have an idea.

Thomas: Okay. Maybe– maybe we were a little– a little over the top.

Steffy: We knew how much you needed to be together.

Thomas: Yeah, we did.

Steffy: So how do you feel, douglas?

Douglas: It’s cool, I guess.

Taylor: Hey. What do you mean, you guess?

Douglas: Well, it’s just I kind of feel bad for grandma brooke.

Thomas: Yeah. You know, that’s just ’cause he’s such a loving and empathetic kid. But– but right now, we should probably focus on grandma taylor and your granddad and how happy they are. Finally, now that they’re together, my dad has opened his eyes and seen what was right in front of him all along.

Steffy: This is a fabulous day for our family.

Thomas: Yeah. It really is.

Steffy: Aren’t you happy for your grandparents, douglas? If you’re on medicare,

Ridge: Is donna okay?

Eric: Donna is okay. Yeah. She’s– she’s worried about her sister. She got over there to soften the blow.

Ridge: Well, brooke is lucky to have her full support.

Taylor: Yeah. Yes, she is.

Steffy: Hey, douglas. You never answered me. Are you happy for your grandparents getting married?

Thomas: Of course he is. Come on. Douglas is a forrester, right? And this is what’s best for the future of our family. Hey, bud. You wanna check out some of my new designs? Let’s go do that.

Steffy: Mom, you are gonna be such a beautiful bride. Did you figure out a dress or like, what are we gonna do with your hair?

Taylor: You know– did you know that your father actually made the dress?

Steffy: What?

Ridge: You’re awfully quiet.

Eric: Yeah. Well, honestly, it’s kind of hard to know what to say. I want you to be happy, you know that. And only you can decide what makes you happy or who. I adore taylor. She’s been a part of this family for a long time, so. It’s just that, hell, I don’t know.

Ridge: No, I know. I know what you’re getting at, dad. You thought brooke was gonna be my happily ever after. I thought that too for a long time. Just didn’t work out that way. But I really hope you can support my life with taylor.

Eric: I will, but I reserve the right to be concerned about brooke.

Ridge: Fair enough. Love you.

Eric: Love you too.

Steffy: So, when are you planning on having this wedding? I mean, you should do it tomorrow.

Taylor: Really?

Steffy: Are you for real? Really?

Ridge: No one’s getting any younger.

Steffy: Oh, my goodness. Are you kidding?

Taylor: No, no. I was thinking it was because we didn’t wanna waste time, but you’re right.

Steffy: No. I– I– I get it. Hey, if you need help with anything, I’m here.

Taylor: You know what? I do need help with something. My beautiful daughter who I love so much. You know how much I admire you and how much I love the way that you live your life and– and who you are. And it would just mean everything in the world to me if you would stand by me on my wedding day, the very last time that I am marrying your father and be my matron of honor.

Steffy: Oh my– of course, mom.

Taylor: Yeah?

Steffy: Of course.

Taylor: I love you.

Steffy: I love you. I love you. Thank you.

Katie: I’m so sorry. I hate that you’re going through this.

Brooke: Me too. But it doesn’t mean that I’m giving up on ridge and myself.

Katie: You signed the papers.

Brooke: Yeah, I did. I just think that ridge needed me to do that at that moment. But how can I give up on him, katie? I love him. He truly is the love of my life. Ridge would always say that it just takes one of us to keep on believing and the other one will catch up. And this time, it has to be me.

Katie: Well, I admire your determination, your conviction.

Brooke: Well, I’m not gonna lose my husband to taylor. I’m not. I mean, I think somehow, we’ll be able to get through this and– and we can be together.

Katie: Well, I’ve learned to never count you and ridge out.

Donna: Oh, hi.

Brooke: Donna. Are you okay? What’s going on?

Donna: Ah, look, something happened and I– I wanted you to hear it from me first. I, um… I just left forrester.

Brooke: Donna, please don’t tell me–

Donna: I’m so sorry to have to tell you this, but um, ridge and taylor, they just announced their engagement.

[ Brooke scoffing ]

Get black friday

deals now at target!

[ Brooke scoffing ]

Brooke: Ridge and taylor engaged.

Donna: I’m so sorry to have to tell you this, brooke.

Brooke: I don’t understand. I mean, I just signed annulment papers. That means he had every intention of asking taylor to marry him.

Katie: I don’t think that’s necessarily true. I’m sure once the annulment was in the works, the three-way pressure notched up to a new level.

Brooke: Well, they got everything they wanted right? Steffy, thomas, and taylor.

Katie: They are not married yet.

Brooke: I just thought I might have some time. You know, I was just telling katie that ridge and I still have a chance together.

Katie: Yeah, you do.

Donna: Yeah. I– I agree. I– I mean, you can’t let steffy and thomas manipulate ridge out of your life and into taylor’s life because they have this– this fantasy of this family that only exists in their minds.

Katie: Listen. Listen to me. Ridge has feelings for taylor, I’m not gonna deny that. But he does not love her the way he loves you. Something drove a wedge between you and ridge, but you have overcome so much, so many obstacles, you’re gonna get through this too, okay? You said that ridge is the love of your life. You’re the love of his life. That’s worth fighting for. Don’t give up faith.

Brooke: How can I not give up faith when he asked taylor to marry him? How could he do that? I– I don’t even understand what happened. Why– why is this even happening to us? I– I don’t get it.

Katie: I’m sorry.

[ Taylor chuckling ]

Taylor: Hey, how is he doing? I know this was such a big shock for him. You know, I just– I wish that he could have been just a– a little more excited for us.

Steffy: You know– you know how much grandpa loves you.

Taylor: I do. I do. But I also know that, you know, when it comes to you, he’s always been team brooke. And I understand that, but.

Thomas: Yeah, you know what? Granddad has always had a little bit of a soft spot for brooke. But now the dynamic has changed, you know, and dad has finally realized that the woman that would always be truthful to him and be faithful to him is you, mom.

Ridge: No, I realize it. I know you’ll always be honest with me. Lucky man. Um, there is something I want to say to my son. I’m gonna– want your help with something.

Thomas: Okay? Can I make you a better suit ’cause this one’s a little bland?

[ Steffy and taylor laughing ]

Ridge: No, the suit’s fine.

Thomas: Yeah?

Ridge: What I want from you is something a little more personal.

Thomas: Okay.

Ridge: I thought maybe we could make this a family affair and you could be my best man.

Thomas: Really? Yes. I mean, I– thank you for wanting me.

[ Steffy and taylor laughing ]

Taylor: Yay! You know, you guys deserve a place at the altar for all the energy and effort that you have put into this.

Thomas: You have no idea how much energy and effort.

Steffy: Hey, we can do it all again if it led us right back here.

Thomas: It’s true.

Taylor: Am I dreaming? Am I? Somebody pinch me?

Thomas: Oh.

Taylor: I’m not dreaming. You know what? Dreams really do come true. Look at us. Our family is back together. You know what the best part is? Douglas. Douglas gets to be a part of it now.

Thomas: Yes. I actually think that that is incredible because– because douglas can actually see what true love, what real love actually looks like.

Taylor: You know, I love you guys so much. I love you so much and I can’t wait to be your wife again.

Ridge: No?

Taylor: No.

Steffy: Forever this time.

Taylor: Forever.

Ridge: Okay.

Thomas: Hey. Look over there. You see your grandma and your granddad? See how happy they are to be together? And your aunt steffy. She’s happy too. She really wants her parents together. This is a good thing. It’s the right thing for our family and for our future. Okay? So, you can’t say anything about that app, all right? Not a word.

Taylor: Wow, so… so, brooke signed the papers.

Ridge: Wasn’t easy for her.

Taylor: Oh ridge, it wasn’t easy for you either. I know it was necessary.

Ridge: Yeah, it was. And now it’s done.

Donna: Brooke, why would you agree to that?

Brooke: What was I gonna do, donna? Ridge wants an annulment.

Donna: But you don’T.

Brooke: No, of course, I don’T. It broke my heart. But I’m not going to just stand in his way if that’s really what he wants.

Donna: But is that really what he wants? I know that he still loves you, brooke.

Brooke: I know that too.

Donna: So why? What happened?

Brooke: Thomas happened.

Douglas: Why are you so mad?

Thomas: I don’t like that app. I don’t like that you keep playing with it and every time I turn around, you’re trying to trick people.

Douglas: Because it’s funny. Everyone laughs about it. No one ever gets upset.

Thomas: Okay, look. Come here a sec. This isn’t about whether people are laughing at it or not, okay? This is about the fact that I have asked you to not do something and you keep doing it. It’s disrespectful and it needs to stop. Do you understand?

Douglas: Yes.

[ Taylor sighing ]

Taylor: I know that you’re– you’re processing a lot. And you didn’t tell me that you were doing this today, but I just… how are you feeling? I don’t want you to bottle up how you’re feeling with me.

Ridge: It would be kind of tough to do with the psychiatrist in the house. Not hiding my feelings from you. I won’t, not ever.

Taylor: Not ever, okay. So, what are you feeling?

Ridge: About us?

[ Taylor imitating a buzzer ]

Taylor: No. About what just happened in your life. Brooke.

Ridge: Sadness. It’s a lot of years.

Taylor: I know. You guys have gone through so much together. And I know this is so hard for you, but ridge, you– you did it. Even though I know that part of you can’t believe that– that it’s over with brooke.

Donna: Oh, no. What did thomas do now?

Brooke: I don’t know but ridge implied that ending our marriage has to do with thomas.

Donna: But that doesn’t even make any sense. I mean, what could thomas do to end your marriage?

Brooke: I don’t know. I don’t know, it’s– it’s crazy. He acts as if I should know, as if I’ve done something. And I don’t even know what it is.

Donna: Maybe it’s just that you don’t trust thomas. That you– you never have.

Brooke: Maybe.

Donna: And honestly, I don’t even blame you. You should’ve seen him with douglas today.

Brooke: What do you mean? What happened to douglas? Is he okay?

Donna: No, he’s fine, he’s fine. It’s just, thomas just got really upset with douglas.

Douglas: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to disobey you.

Thomas: Like you just, you keep playing around with this app and I specifically told you not to. So, what I want you to do is I want you to go upstairs and I want you to delete that thing. I don’t ever want to see or hear it again. Do I make myself clear?

Douglas: Yes.

Thomas: Okay.

Brooke: His father,

thomas forester, is unstable.

He has a knife.

Cps agent: And your name,

ma’am?

Thomas: Brooke logan.

Please hurry.

Brooke’s voice: Brooke logan

please hurry. (Grump) today is a great day to show up for yourself.

Ridge: You know, I– I thought I’d finally figured it out. Figured how to be married. How to– how to– love someone, respect someone. And– and it’s– it’s, I was wrong about all of it.

Taylor: Ridge, are you– are you feeling guilty for leaving brooke to be with me?

Ridge: Do I feel guilty?

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: By choosing happiness, by choosing someone who’s not going to lie to me? No.

Taylor: Okay, wait, is that because brooke lied to you?

Ridge: I don’t want to talk about brooke anymore.

Taylor: Ridge…

Ridge: Let’s not. Let’s talk about something else.

Taylor: Okay, what do you want to talk about?

Ridge: What do you want to talk about?

Taylor: This is something good to talk about, right?

Ridge: Kids?

Taylor: Kids.

Ridge: Kids, yeah. Steffy’s doing well.

Taylor: Yeah, she’s good.

Ridge: Thomas is great.

Taylor: He’s so good.

Ridge: We did it.

Taylor: We did it.

Ridge: We put some good citizens into this world.

Taylor: We really did. Teamwork, right?

Ridge: Yeah, partnership.

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: There was always magic in our marriage, wasn’t there?

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: I gotta go.

Taylor: Oh, no.

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: You’re not leaving right now.

Ridge: Stay by your phone. I gotta do something.

Taylor: Stay by my phone?

Ridge: Stay by your phone. I gotta go.

Donna: Look, douglas wasn’t in any danger. I mean, thomas was just a bit intense, and obviously, I wouldn’t have left otherwise if I thought so.

Brooke: Okay. Okay, well, I guess that’s reassuring. But what was the issue? Why was thomas so upset?

Donna: There’s– there’s this app that he’s–

Brooke: App?

Thomas: Hey, brooke. Oh, donna, I didn’t know you were here.

Donna: Uh, thomas. Hey, ah so did you and um, douglas figure everything out?

Thomas: Yeah. You know, just kids being kids, trying to push the limits. And sometimes you gotta lay down the law.

Brooke: It’s true. Well, if you’re here to see hope, she’s actually not here, so.

Thomas: No, actually, I wanted to see you alone, if possible.

Brooke: Oh. Oh, yeah. Okay.

Donna: You cool? Yeah. You know, I have to just get to work anyway, so I’ll call you soon. I love you so much, sis.

Brooke: I love you.

Donna: Thomas.

Thomas: Donna. See you at the house.

Donna: Yeah. See you at the house.

Brooke: So, I guess you know about the annulment, right? So you just came to gloat?

Thomas: No, no, I don’t want to gloat or rub your face in it. I mean, it is nice to see the good guys win.

Brooke: The good guys. Really? Okay, this isn’t about good or bad and I’m not some villain in your mother’s story.

Thomas: I mean, you kind of are.

Brooke: Like, if you came here to–

Thomas: You know what brooke? The reason that I came here was to just say, my dad has moved on. I mean, you know that he’s moved on from you, and he’s with my mother, and they’re very happy together, and they’re in love. And you’ve done the thing that you usually do, which is go back to him and try to plead your case, right? You did that in aspen. Just don’t do it again. All right? It’s really over now, and it should’ve been done years ago.

Brooke: It should’ve been done. What does that mean? Should’ve been done?

Douglas: Restore deleted files? Oh, man, really? Okay, let’s see what we’ve got.

Hey, honey bear. Okay, so that means this next one should be donna.

Donna: Hey, honey bear.

Douglas: Yes, they’re back. Okay, I’ve got to find that one of granddad.

Brooke: Hello.

I’d like to report a child

in danger.

His name is douglas forrester.

Hello is friendly…

Taylor: Okay, ridge. Come on. What are you doing? What? What are you talking about?

Brooke: Did you do something, thomas?

Thomas: No. What– what I mean is that my dad should have done this years ago, right? And he finally figured you out at least and moved on. He found my mother again and they’re very happy together. And they’re probably gonna get married.

Brooke: Because of you. Something you did.

Thomas: Of course, it’s something I did. It couldn’t ever be the fact that maybe he prefers my mother. You– from day one, you have just hated me. It’s like you never ever were on my side. You were never kind or supportive of me at all.

Brooke: Are you kidding me? I was there. I helped raise you. I was kind. I was supportive. It’s just been hard to support you these last few years because of some of the things that you’ve done.

Thomas: Hard to support me? You literally have never supported me once in the last couple of years. And if you had, then maybe I could’ve supported you and things would be different.

Brooke: Wow. I just don’t trust you.

Thomas: You know what? That’s fine. You never have trusted me. And you don’t need to trust me ’cause I don’t need your trust. I need my– my parents, I need my son. I need hope’s trust. But I don’t need yours.

Brooke: Yeah, well, if they do trust you, that could cause a lot of potential harm to people. I don’t care what you do to me. Just don’t you dare hurt my daughter or your sweet, loving son. I’m telling you, thomas, don’t you dare put douglas in danger ever again.

Brooke’s voice: His father,

thomas forester, is unstable.

He has a knife.

Brooke logan, please hurry.

Douglas: Why would grandma? She used my app?

Thomas: Hello.

I’d like to report a child

in danger.

His name is douglas forester.

He’s at 369 willow hill road,

los angeles, california.

His father, thomas forester,

is unstable.

He has a knife.

Douglas: Wait, does this mean…

Thomas: Brooke logan,

please hurry.

Douglas: Dad called cps on himself? Dupixent helps you du more with less asthma.

Taylor: Ridge. Ridge? Are you in here?

Ridge: Hey, doc.

Taylor: Hey, what are you doing?

Ridge: Can I ask you something?

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Do you remember being in this room many years ago? Sharing a great triumph with me.

Taylor: Oh. Yes. Yes, I do.

Ridge: Walking down the runway? Showstopper. Looking absolutely beautiful and luminous? It seems to me that we have an opportunity to pick up right where we left off.

Taylor: Uh, what do you… um. Ridge… yes. Yes, yes, yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes!

Thomas: His father,

thomas forrester is unstable.

He has a knife. Hey, bud. What’s with the guilty look? You deleted the app like I said, right?

Douglas: I started to, I did. But I wanted to hear the recordings just one last time.

Thomas: Recordings? I mean, you said they were all lost in some kind of glitch.

Douglas: Turns out you can restore them.

Thomas: I doubt that. You know, I don’t think donna really knows what she’s talking about.

Douglas: You can. It’s super easy.

Thomas: Well, you did it? You got all the files back?

Douglas: Yeah, got all of them back. All of mine. Even some others.

Thomas: Others?

Douglas: There was this one was grandma brooke’s voice. Remember when those people came asking all kinds of questions? Must be why they were here. Because of that recording.

Thomas: Yeah. You know what, bud? Sadly, your grandma brooke called C.P.S. On me. She doesn’t want us together. And that’s– that’s– that’s sad but I don’t, honestly, I don’t want you thinking about that. And I don’t even know how it got on your phone. It must’ve been some kind of mistake.

Douglas: I think it was on purpose. I think it got erased on purpose too.

Thomas: You know what? It doesn’t really matter, though, because you’re going to delete the app, right?

Douglas: I’m not a dummy, dad. Grandma brooke’s call, that was the processed voice, not the original.

Thomas: I– I don’t really think you know what you’re talking about here, bud.

Douglas: Yes, I do. I heard it. I heard you. You made that call in her voice. You did it so granddad would get mad and want to be with grandma taylor instead. Admit it.

Thomas: You know what, kid? You’re right. I called C.P.S. And you want to know why? Because your grandma brooke, she’s threatened to do it. Right before I did. She doesn’t want us together. She doesn’t want us living in the same home. And I’m not okay with that. I’m not going to allow that. And you don’t know how much happier your grandfather is with grandma taylor?

Douglas: No, but I know when something’s wrong.

Thomas: Exactly. And it would’ve been wrong for your grandfather to spend any more time with brooke.

Douglas: No, I was talking about you. What you did was wrong, dad. Reminds me of when we found out baby beth was alive. How you kept it from everyone?

Thomas: It’s not the same, douglas. And it’s not going to end the same either.

Douglas: Keep sketching like this, douglas. You can stay up as late as you want. Maybe even quit school.

[ Beeping ]

Thomas: Keep sketching like this, douglas. You can stay up as late as you want. Maybe even quit school.

[ Laughs ]

Thomas: Are you still playing with that app? I said enough.

Ridge: What app?

Douglas: Oh, it’s really awesome, granddad. It lets you see something–

Thomas hey, I said enough already. Kid’s driving me nuts with this thing.

Ridge: So before cell phones, there were just two cans and a string. So much simpler.

Douglas: Why?

Thomas: Well, it was a long time ago. Don’t you have homework to do?

Douglas: Can I have my phone back? May I have my phone back?

Thomas: Yes. Stay focused, okay?

Ridge: We didn’t have apps when I was a kid.

Thomas: You know what? Some of those apps can change your life.

Hope: So, it’s true. You sign the annulment papers?

Brooke: Oh, yeah. Ridge and I are no longer married, sweetie.

Hope: Mom.

Brooke: It’s what he wanted. You know? As difficult as it was for me, I wasn’t going to stand in his way.

Hope: Even though you still love him?

Brooke: Yeah, I do. I do love him and he loves me. And it was quite obvious. I was signing the annulment papers, and he was just staring at me, with tears in his eyes. You could see how much this really bothered him. It was hard for him, you know?

Taylor: Hey.

Finn: Hey, taylor.

[ Laughs ] What? I was just stopping by to surprise steffy before my shift.

Taylor: No. Yeah, she was here. She left. I stayed behind and doing some work emails.

Finn: Nice.

Taylor: So is that a flat hot extra– white extra–

Finn: Flat white large espresso steffy’s order.

Taylor: It’d be a shame for it to go to waste, right?

Finn: Yeah.

Taylor: Oh, I need this.

Finn: So she told me about the big news, ridge and brooke. Sounds like they’re ending their marriage. Can’t imagine how you feel about that.

Taylor: You know, I have a lot of feelings about ridge ending his marriage to brooke.

Finn: No doubt.

Taylor: Yeah. You know, he didn’t even tell me that he was doing this today. But I know how much he cares for her. This… this was a really hard decision for him. I– but, you know, I am happy and I’m happy that ridge is finally free of brooke.

Brooke: I’ve asked myself over and over. How did it get to this point? Annulling our marriage. Living separate lives when we still love each other so much.

Hope: It doesn’t even makes sense.

Brooke: No, it doesn’T. And I’ve been spending every waking hour trying to figure it out. And now because of what ridge said earlier, I think I have an answer. The reason that ridge and I are ending our marriage is because of thomas.

Ridge: So we’re on, right? You and me on the tennis court, after you finish your math problems?

Douglas: Sure. You’re up for it? Last time I ran you all over the court.

Ridge: Please.

Douglas: Sorry, grandad. Just teasing.

Ridge: It’s okay.

Thomas: All right, you. Time to get upstairs. Do your homework.

Douglas: Okay.

Thomas: All right.

Douglas: Bye.

Thomas: Bye. Still so bothering you, huh? Seeing brooke, and the annulment.

Ridge: You know what? I wish there were an app. Make her tell the truth. Gave her another chance to come clean about that phone call she made to child protective services.

Thomas: And?

Ridge: And nothing. She’s not taking responsibility for any of it.

Who’s on it with jardiance?

Finn: Did you think that when you returned to L.A., This is how it would turn out?

Taylor: Ouf. I mean, if by this you mean ridge ending his marriage to brooke and not because she let him down again, but because he just wants to spend the rest of his life with me? Nope.

Finn: Hmm.

Taylor: Look, brooke and I have a long history. We’ve always played by different rules. As a matter of fact, she didn’t have any rules when it came to ridge. She just… was in it to win it, you know? She didn’t care who she hurt. It was impressive. And very frustrating.

Finn: Yeah, but I get why you feel the way that you do. You had a family with ridge, and brooke just wanted ridge for herself.

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, look, I know that brooke loves ridge, obviously, right? But I’ve always wondered, you know, does she really want him or does she just not want me to have him? You know? That’s why signing these papers will be the hardest thing she’s ever done in her life.

Finn: Yeah, well, I know what it’ll mean to my wife to have her father finally free of brooke. Steffy’s wanted this for so long. Thomas too.

Taylor: Yes. Yes. Me and the kids love ridge so much. We just want him to live his best life. You know, I just don’t think consistent happiness could ever be possible as long as he’s with brooke.

Hope: So you think your marriage to ridge is ending because of thomas?

Brooke: Something to do with thomas, yes.

Hope: Okay. Well, what makes you feel that way?

Brooke: I don’t know, it’s like what ridge said earlier. Just that… somehow thomas was tied to the annulment papers in some way.

Hope: Okay, well, how? What does thomas have to do with that?

Brooke: I don’t know. I mean, it’s like ridge wanted me to admit something. At least, that’s the way it seemed. And ridge knows the tension that I have with thomas, and he knows that I don’t agree with him that he’s changed. But that’s no reason to get an annulment. I just see thomas differently, that’s all.

Hope: Well, in all fairness, mom, you don’t just see thomas differently. You– you’re pretty vocal about it. You– and you make it very clear that you think thomas is still being manipulative and obsessive and–

Brooke: He is and he’s fixated on you all over again. It’s obvious, honey. He’s just better at concealing it, especially from his father.

Hope: Did you tell ridge that?

Brooke: He knows how I feel about his son. But I did remind him that thomas has created issues in our marriage in the past.

Hope: I have a sneaking suspicion that ridge did not like hearing that.

Brooke: Well, he also didn’t like hearing that I said his son was untruthful.

Hope: All right, mom. I’m going to need you to tread very carefully with what you are accusing, thomas of. Well, wait, I’m sorry. What even are you accusing thomas of?

Brooke: I don’t know, honey. But like I said, ridge made it seem like the annulment papers and his son were tied together somehow. So that kind of raises a red flag, right? It seems like there’s more to it.

Thomas: So, brooke didn’t admit to calling cps on me?

Ridge: No.

Thomas: I hate what she’s putting you through, dad. But this is what brooke does. Right? It’s classic brooke logan. She does something terrible, then she plays the victim. I mean, it’s just a horrible person.

Ridge: How about we take it easy on her?

Thomas: This is what she always does to you, dad. From day one, it’s hurt, heartbreak, embarrassment and betrayal. This is your wife who did it to you. And I can’t even imagine how that must affect you. But she saw an opportunity to make me, your son, look like the bad guy, as she always does. And then she played the victim. But thankfully, we heard the call every damning word in her own voice, and we promised walter we wouldn’t say anything. I haven’t said anything. You didn’t say anything to anyone, right? The virus that causes shingles is sleeping…

Finn: I’m just going to ask you this because I’m curious. Do you have any idea why ridge pulled the plug on his marriage?

Taylor: I mean, besides wanting to be with me?

Finn: Well…

Taylor: No, I honestly, finn, and I don’t know, but whatever it is, I’m grateful.

Thomas: You haven’t said anything to anyone about brooke and cps?

Ridge: I’ve told no one.

Thomas: Not even mom?

Ridge: Not mom, not steffy. Could you imagine if she found out about this? But that’s– that’s enough. All right? Let’s not talk about that anymore. Let’s talk about good stuff. Let’s talk about you being a big star. What you did for hope for the future. I’m so proud of you.

Thomas: Well, thank you. I’m always okay talking about that.

Ridge: And I’m so sorry about what brooke put you through.

Thomas: Ah, not a big deal honestly, it’s because– because you brought everything out into the open, right? So it was worth it?

Ridge: Yeah, maybe it was. Just can’t believe she would do that to you. To me.

Thomas: You know what? Let’s not talk about the bad stuff and brooke anymore. Let’s just let’s move on from that. Let’s move forward to the good stuff. You and mom being together now that those annulment papers are signed. Have you told her?

Ridge: Have I told her that I’m no longer married? No. I thought I’d come here.

Thomas: Well, why don’t you go tell her? She’s at forrester with steffy right now,

Ridge: I can’t, because I’m going to beat your son in tennis.

Thomas: No, no, no. I’ll tell him. He’ll understand. All right? You should go. This is an incredible moment. You get to tell mom that you’re going to be together. And today, tomorrow and forever. And there’s nothing brooke can do about it.

Hope: Mom, you know how much I love you. But I’m afraid if you start to go down this road–

Brooke: My instincts are usually right, honey, when it comes to thomas, if he did do something to try to sabotage my marriage.

Hope: You don’t know that.

Brooke: Well, I didn’t before today, but after the way ridge brought up his son, it’s just a feeling, one I can’t let go of. If thomas did do something to interfere with my marriage, if he did something underhanded , that is something ridge will not tolerate, no matter how much he loves his son.

Ridge: Hey, donna. Where’d the honey go?

[ Laughing ]

Douglas: Gotcha.

Donna: Yes, you did. That sounded exactly like your grandfather.

Douglas: I know.

Donna: That’s the app that you love so much. Right?

Douglas: Yeah, it’s really cool, but could be cooler.

Donna: Oh, yeah? How?

Douglas: Well, it’s kind of glitchy. I mean, all the saved voices I made are gone, so I can’t go back to listen to them.

Donna: Well, I betcha there’s a way to restore them.

Thomas: A way to restore what?

Donna: The voices that douglas had saved on his voice app, they’re gone.

Thomas: Douglas, you still playing with that app? What did I tell you about this? You want me to take your phone away from you again? Because keep disobeying me. I will. Is that clear? Super emma just about sleeps in her cape.

Taylor: Okay, that’s fine. Yeah. Just see if she wants to reschedule. Okay. All right. Thanks, audrey. Bye.

[ Door opening ]

Ridge: Thomas told me I might find you here.

Taylor: Yeah, I’m here.

Ridge: He told you, didn’t he?

Taylor: Yeah. The annulment papers. Are you okay? Is your marriage to brooke really over?

Ridge: It’s over. My marriage is over.

Hope: I mean, mom, you– you have to know that by continuing these attacks on thomas, you’re only going to drive ridge further and further away. And I know that’s the last thing that you want. I mean, have you– have you maybe tried going to ridge and… and telling him that you will try to view thomas through his eyes the way he sees him. I mean, I know that wouldn’t be easy for you, but it might help. And knowing how much ridge means to you, then–

Brooke: Yes, of course. He means everything to me, honey. He is my everything. And as much as I want a life with him, as much as I want to be with him, I just can’t embrace thomas like that. I don’t know what it is. I don’T. But there is something evil about thomas and ridge can’t be blinded by it.

Thomas: You shouldn’t be encouraging him, donna.

[ Scoffs ]

Donna: I wasn’T. I was just suggesting to restore the–

Thomas: The voices on the voice recording app, yeah, I heard.

Donna: Okay, thomas, it’s just a harmless little app.

Thomas: It’s not harmless.

Douglas: Dad, I’m sorry.

Thomas: I told you repeatedly, I don’t want you playing with it.

Douglas: I know, but–

Thomas: But nothing. Okay? You deliberately disobeyed me. That’s not okay.

Donna: Okay, thomas, stop douglas, I don’t even mind that you keep tricking me like that. It’s funny. I mean, it’s pretty brilliant how it actually sounds like somebody else’s voice.

Thomas: You’re not helping, donna. This is between my son and me.

[ Sighs ]

Donna: Sorry.

Thomas: Okay, look, bud, this is not a game, all right? This isn’t just for fun. I told you to stop doing it,

Douglas: But, dad–

Thomas: But nothing. I told you to stop. So just delete it from your phone. Okay?

Brooke: I don’t trust thomas, and I never will. More and more, I really think he’s responsible for ending my marriage, and I’m going to find out exactly what he did.

[ Sneezing ] Are you okay?

Brooke: I didn’t sign them because I refuse to believe that this is happening.

Ridge: It isn’t easy for me either.

Brooke: Okay, well, then just take those papers and throw them in the fireplace or rip them to shreds. Just do something. Don’t make me–

Ridge: I thought this was the best way to handle it.

Brooke: Really? You thought the best way to handle it was have carter come over and drop off the annulment papers? Come on, ridge, can we just talk about this? Whatever this is.

Ridge: I don’t have anything else to say.

Brooke: I need you to tell me why this is happening.

Steffy: Can’t believe dad’s actually doing it.

Thomas: Yeah, brooke needs to accept that dad’s done with her.

Steffy: I wonder what pushed him over the edge.

Thomas: Something happened.

Steffy: I don’t know, maybe he’s just over all the heartache, betrayal.

Thomas: That’s– that’s why this doesn’t bother me so much, you know. It’s just brooke’s finally done hurting dad, and he can just move forward and be happy, fulfilled, and content with our mother, and we can finally stop talking about brooke.

Steffy: Yeah, I’m just really over it. I text mom, I told her to come here. Wait ’til she finds out what happened.

Thomas: You know, seeing– seeing everyone so happy in my life, it makes it all worth it.

Liam: I kind of like to avoid thomas while I’m here.

Hope: Oh well, you are in luck because he and steffy are in a meeting.

Liam: Oh, cool. I mean, not that thomas wants to see me either.

Hope: Yeah, probably not.

Liam: My opinion of thomas aside, nothing can diminish what you pulled off the other night, the entire fashion industry, and by the way, I know this because I am in publishing, is raving about it. Are you on a crazy high right now? Because you should be.

Hope: Honestly, it hasn’t really sunk in because I haven’t had time to think. There’s been so many orders and interview requests, it’s just…

Liam: I get it. Well, I’m so proud of you and everything you’ve accomplished. Hell, I’m even proud to be married to you. Even if I wish thomas weren’t a key part of that.

Liam: I’m not trying to get into it, but you at least understand where I’m coming from when it comes to thomas, right?

Hope: What? Stop.

Stop. Yeah, I completely understand where you’re coming from when it comes to thomas, so don’t worry. I know I need to be cautious with him.

Liam: Cool, that’s–

Katie: Hope, thank god I’ve been looking for you.

Hope: Katie, hi.

Katie: Have you heard?

Hope: No, what?

Liam: Er, what?

Katie: Ridge had annulment papers served to your mother.

Steffy: I am just so happy for mom. She’s wanted this forever. Where is she?

Thomas: Uh, have you heard of a thing called traffic?

Steffy: I’m just really excited for her. I want her to be here.

Thomas: Yeah, I know.

Taylor: Okay. What’s going on?

Thomas: Mom, hey.

Taylor: I got your text. All I saw was get here now, it’s important, all caps.

Steffy: It kinda is.

Thomas: Yeah.

Taylor: Okay, well, I am here now. So, what’s going on? Come on, I had to reschedule a patient.

Thomas: Well, I think you’re gonna want the rest of the day off to celebrate after you hear this incredible news.

Steffy: Well, it’s incredible for you and dad not so much for brooke.

Taylor: What are you talking about?

Brooke: You want to just wipe away all of the memories that we’ve ever had?

Ridge: That’s impossible. I remember every moment I spent with you.

Brooke: Well, it’s not the end, ridge, it’s not. We were just settling in. And yes, I know that we’ve both done things and we’ve forgiven each other for that. We’ve moved–

Ridge: The damage has been done, you see that!

Brooke: What damage? I don’t get it. What is it? What is it that is making you want to end our marriage? Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Katie: I can’t believe ridge is really doing this.

Liam: Yeah, I mean, in aspen, he ended things rather suddenly, but I don’t think any of us expected that to last.

Hope: Well, no. I mean, my mom really kept the faith that he would come home.

Katie: She held on to her marriage, even though it was being targeted.

Liam: I.E. Thomas and taylor guilt tripping the hell out of him.

Hope: Okay, well, let’s not forget about steffy pressuring her dad nonstop to basically leave his wife. And now he and taylor are back living in their old beach house and pretending like his marriage never even existed. And I’m sorry, that is weird, right? Like, this is weird.

Liam: No, it’s weird. I mean, bird’s eye view, it doesn’t make any sense.

Katie: Well, imagine how brooke feels.

Hope: I– I don’t know. Do you think it might be the situation with douglas? Or maybe because she has concerns about thomas that this influenced his decision.

Liam: Yeah, there’s no way that helped. And, you know, behind the scenes, thomas has been milking that.

Katie: It’s almost like he has to choose between one family and the other.

Liam: Which like, as if you couldn’t have both those things after 30 years of this, like…

Hope: I really thought they were back on track. I thought they were working things out, but then ridge goes to aspen and everything goes to hell. I mean, why? What happened?

Steffy: Yeah, yeah, a lot has changed.

Taylor: Okay. What is it? I’m here, tell me.

Thomas: Wait, you seriously don’t know.

Taylor: No. Oh, my god, baby, you’re pregnant.

Steffy: What? No. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But it wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring a beautiful child into this world as a loving, devoted family.

Thomas: Yeah, never more devoted or free.

Steffy: Yes. Or available.

Thomas: Mm-hmm.

Steffy: Yeah.

Thomas: Yeah, ready to commit to a new and improved life.

Steffy: Yeah, the world just has so many amazing possibilities out there. So many opportunities. The future is so bright.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Yeah.

Taylor: Oh, my god, you joined a cult.

Steffy: No, we were just savoring the moment. This is something we’ve been wanting for a long time.

Thomas: And now it’s finally here.

Taylor: Now you can finally tell me. What is going on?

Thomas: Well…

Steffy: We were talking to dad earlier.

Thomas: And he has done something major.

Steffy: Huge.

Taylor: What?

Thomas: Huge.

Steffy: Everything that dad said to you and aspen, about wanting you and only you? It’s happening. Dad is finally serving brooke annulment papers.

Ridge: I don’t want this. I don’t want any of this.

Brooke: Well, neither do I. I just want you here with me.

Ridge: I can’t do that.

Brooke: Ridge, we can. We still love each other. We can get past anything–

Ridge: Logan, I can’t do that.

Brooke: We have a great foundation. We have everything we need. I just– I need you to communicate with me. So, what is it? Is it bill?

Ridge: No, it’s not bill.

Brooke: Well, if it’s not bill, is it deacon?

Ridge: No, not bill or deacon, neither one of those clowns.

Brooke: Well, then what is it? Ridge, come on, please, I can’t read your mind. I need you to tell me what–

Ridge: All I wanted from you was some humanity, some kindness, some forgiveness! That’S… that’s my boy. You just… you gave up on, you gave up on my boy, my flesh and blood in the worst way.

Brooke: Thomas? This about thomas?

Ridge: I can’t battle with you anymore. Who says you have to spend more on skincare

Katie: What is so different now? What caused such a big wave that ridge just couldn’t take it anymore?

Hope: Seriously? I mean, where is this coming from? It’s not like they had some big blowout fight.

Katie: They– they– they were pretty happy. I mean, they had obstacles to overcome, sure but…

Hope: Well, they’ve overcome even worse.

Katie: Everything went south when ridge followed steffy and taylor to aspen.

Liam: Yes, super abruptly, by the way. Dude just hopped on a plane and turned everyone’s lives upside down.

Hope: Yeah, well, steffy was lobbying really hard for ridge to leave my mom.

Liam: I– no, I’m not absolving steffy of responsibility, but thomas was just as vocal, and come on, if I were a betting man, I’d say he was doing a little bit more than just gently coaxing them back together.

Katie: Okay but, what difference does it make? Ridge is a grown man who can make his own choices. Is he so impressionable that he listens to whatever his kids and his ex-wife have to say, and he doesn’t listen to his own heart?

Liam: Maybe both things can be true at once. I mean, brooke’s been pretty damn adamant that– that thomas is using douglas in our whole custody thing to drive a wedge between her and ridge. And if that’s true, the guy’s succeeded. Which, I– see, this is why I’m always saying that thomas is always up to no good.

Taylor: Wow. So– so he– he asked for an annulment from brooke?

Thomas: He told us himself. Carter did all the paperwork.

Steffy: Yeah, dad is invalidating his marriage to brooke. Which means he wants to be with you, mom. And start a life with you immediately.

Taylor: Yes. Yes, that is the plan. So, I mean, yeah…

Thomas: But he didn’t tell you he was doing it?

Taylor: No. Not– not that he was doing it today. I don’t know. I can just– I can just tell that something is weighing on him. Maybe it’s this decision.

Steffy: Of course, dad feels guilty about dumping brooke, but this is the best thing that could happen for you and dad.

Taylor: Yeah, look, don’t get me wrong. I am– I am happy, I really am, but look, I want your dad to be happy too.

Thomas: But that’s where you come in. You do make him happy.

Taylor: Yes, and listen, I am– I am so glad that he followed through with this. He really did it. And it’s great. It’s great for all of us. But don’t forget that brooke is very important to your father. Very important. And, you know, there’s some conflicting feelings going on with him, as usual. So…

Thomas: Okay, but brooke is gone and we should be popping champagne and celebrating. Brooke is finally out of our lives for good.

Brooke: Thomas? What about thomas?

Ridge: If it’s okay with you, I don’t want to play this game anymore. You know what the answer is?

Brooke: No, I don’T. I have expressed my concerns about some of the problems that he’s had in the past and whether or not he can parent douglas full-time. But that’s no reason to get an annulment. Ridge, I know you love your son unconditionally–

Ridge: Yes, I love my son. What about you? You couldn’t find even a small place in your heart. Not at all.

Brooke: I wish I could feel about thomas the way you do. And I really wish I could believe that he’s changed for the good, the way you and taylor think he has. But the fact is, I think that he is responsible for some of the issues that we’ve had in our marriage. And I know you’re not gonna like this, ridge, but he is being manipulative and not entirely truthful.

Ridge: Did you say truth? Okay, let’s be truthful. Is there anything you want to tell me about thomas?

You never know

what opportunities

Hope: So, are you implying that thomas had something to do with ridge and my mom being apart?

Liam: Well, do I think that thomas is 100% responsible? No. I am pretty familiar with ridge and brooke and their history and their marriage. But you know would I presume to know exactly what ended it? I– no. You know.

Hope: Yeah, I wish we had more clarity.

Liam: Yeah, I know it’s a mystery, but that is why I can’t help shaking the feeling that thomas is popping a bottle of champagne somewhere.

Hope: Liam.

Liam: Uh, look, okay. All I’m saying is, every time in the past when things have gone wrong and nobody can figure out why, it’s thomas. Why should this time be any different?

Taylor: You know, your dad has been talking a lot about our future together and– and what he wants it to look like. And he’s saying all the right things. But I’m– I’m still not convinced that, I don’t know, something’s gonna come along and– and make him change his mind and he’s going to do the old switcheroo again, you know?

Thomas: Hey, there’s no chance of that happening now.

Taylor: Oh, thank you, sweetheart. And I am happy, I really am, it’s just… I just, I still can’t help but wonder why your dad did this today.

Steffy: Well, whatever the reason, I’m just excited for you.

Taylor: Okay. I’m excited, too.

Brooke: What does thomas have to do with this?

Ridge: He’s my son.

Brooke: Okay… but what about us, ridge? What about our marriage and our relationship? You are my best friend. You’re my partner. You’re the love of my life. And I know you feel that same way about me.

Ridge: I love you so much. I will always love you.

Brooke: Okay, well, you don’t have to go through with this. You don’t have to be with taylor. It’s not gonna be the same. There’s always gonna be something missing.

Ridge: I thought it was… I thought it was gonna be you and me forever. But I can’t do this.

Brooke: But why? Why not? I mean, you didn’t even tell me what this is all about. Okay. Yeah, uh… well, you have clearly made your decision. You want to be with taylor. I’m not gonna stand in your way.

[ Brooke sighing ] Migraine hits hard, so u hit back with ubrelvy cbs. Cbs. Cbs. Cbs. I think I have an answer. The reason that ridge and I are ending our marriage is

Ridge: So we’re on, right? You and me on the tennis court, after you finish your math problems?

Douglas: Sure. You’re up for it? Last time I ran you all over the court.

Ridge: Please.
