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 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?

[ Dramatic music ]

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.

Thomas: I’m so pumped, I’m gonna get right into the next collection.

Ridge: Or maybe you should just enjoy the moment of what happened here.

Thomas: Well, okay. I got tons of emails and phone calls and not all of them are from mom.

Ridge: Course they’re not all from mom because you guys did an amazing job. You, zende, hope, you knocked it out of the park.

Thomas: Yeah.

Ridge: It couldn’t have gone any better.

Thomas: Last night was incredible and I’m pumped about that. But you don’t seem as pumped as I am.

Ridge: I’m just as pumped as you. What are you talking about?

Thomas: Okay, it just seems like something heavy is weighing on you. What’s going on?

Ridge: I– it’S…

Thomas: Come on. You can tell me. Is it like, did bill get one of his hacks to pan us or what?

Ridge: It’s nothing to do with bill. I… it’s nothing to do with you or your show. Everything was great. I just, I saw brooke there, and I know I saw her and… and just wonder how she could do what she did. How she could call child services and yeah, I just don’t know what to do with it.

Thomas: She– she hasn’t talked to you about that?

Ridge: Nah, she’s still pretending she doesn’t know what drove us apart.

Thomas: You know what? It’s probably best to just put it out of your mind. I mean, look, that whole situation, it wasn’t fun or anything, but it’s like… it wasn’t great answering those questions, but it’s not like it affected me. It didn’t affect douglas. Just move on from it. You know, brooke is in the past and we’re all moving on from that. I think that’s pretty amazing. I mean, you– you’ve been dedicating your time to our family and we’re overjoyed to have you.

Ridge: I did something today, something that’s gonna hurt brooke very much.

Steffy: There’s our superstar designer. Thomas, I saw an article calling you the future of fashion. Amazing. What? Did you already hear about it?

Ridge: No, it’s um…

Steffy: What?

Ridge: Er, I had carter deliver some papers to brooke today.

Steffy: Papers?

Ridge: Annulment papers.

Brooke: I didn’t expect to see you, carter.

Carter: Yeah, well… ridge asked me to come.

Brooke: Oh, I see. You have something for me.

Carter: I do.

Thomas: You’re annulling your marriage?

Ridge: If brooke agrees, yeah.

Steffy: You don’t know if she’s going to resist.

Ridge: I don’t know anything. I don’t know. No, I do know. I know she’s going to be hurt. I know that.

Steffy: Well, I’m sure carter will handle it with compassion.

Ridge: Sure he will. Um, it’s gonna be a little awkward around here. Brooke works here, I’m here, and it’S… I– I just need everyone to understand that this is gonna be a little bit strange.

Thomas: Yeah, absolutely.

Steffy: Yeah.

Ridge: Well, it should make you happy, right?

Steffy: Well, yeah, it does make me happy. I mean, I want you and mom back together. We don’t want brooke to be hurt.

Ridge: Oh, she’s going to be hurt. There’s nothing we can do about that.

Thomas: Dad, I mean, I know that you’re worried about brooke and her feelings. I get that, but it’s not like this comes out of the blue, right? She– she had to expect this.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: He really did it.

Carter: I feel terrible.

Brooke: Well, he mentioned an annulment dissolving our marriage, so it’s not really a surprise.

Carter: Still must be shocking.

Brooke: Yeah, it is. It’s really shocking to see it here in black and white. A marriage like ours shouldn’t be ending with a few pieces of paper. It shouldn’t be ending at all. Did ridge say anything? Did he ask you to tell me anything? Well, I saw him after the showing and he was, um, he wasn’t callous, but there was a barrier. And I was just hoping…

[ Brooke sighing ] Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Katie: Jennifer, you’re such a doll. I love working with you. Okay, so here it is. Cover, shoot, four-page spread. Sounds beautiful. I’ll have my people call your people. Thank you. Bye. Hi. You’re here. I asked pam if you were– oh. Well. Oh. That’s not a happy face.

Carter: You got a minute?

Katie: Yeah. What’s going on?

Carter: I just came from brooke’S.

Katie: You saw my sister?

Carter: You might want to give her a call.

Katie: Why?

Carter: She’ll want to hear from you.

Katie: This is about ridge, isn’t it? You’re his attorney and you went to her house. Did you give her divorce papers?

Carter: Ridge wants an annulment.

Katie: An annulment? He wants to wipe out their marriage like it never even happened? This is going to devastate her.

Thomas: Hey, dad. Taking this step, I mean, even if you’re certain it’s going to be a challenge and it’s especially gonna be a challenge if you know you’re going to hurt someone, but it’s the best thing to do so that everyone can just move forward.

Steffy: Yeah. You can’t start a life with mom until you end things with brooke.

Ridge: I know. But she said she wouldn’t give up on us, not ever.

Steffy: Okay and that makes me sad for her, but you are committed to mom.

Ridge: Told her that too.

Steffy: Well, maybe it’ll be more clear to her once you give her the papers.

Ridge: That’ll be clear to her, I’m sure. I should’ve been there. It’s not an easy thing. No, I should’ve been there for her, I should’ve called her, warned her, something.

Thomas: Dad, that wouldn’t have changed anything. It wouldn’t have made it better. I mean, brooke expects you to come back to her. You always choose her over our family.

Steffy: But this time he didn’T.

Thomas: Right.

Steffy: You couldn’T. Mom offered you something better. A love that you’ll never be able to question.

Thomas: Look, dad, you’re– you’re a good person and you’re trying to look out for everyone’s best interests. But at some point, you just gotta look after yourself.

Ridge: What is happening here? You guys are concerned about my feelings, about brooke’s feelings. Okay, cool. Listen, our marriage wasn’t perfect, but we always found a way to keep moving, to fix things, to communicate. But this, I don’t know. I can’T… I can’t get past it.

Thomas: I’m sorry, dad.

[ Brooke sobbing ] You didn’t live this strong, this long to get put

Ridge: Sorry? What are you sorry about?

Steffy: Yeah, you wanted dad and brooke apart as much as anyone.

Thomas: I’m sorry that dad’s feeling bad about what he’s going through.

Ridge: Well, don’T. Thank you, but don’T. It’s gonna be okay. It’S… it’s good.

Steffy: Good. You uh, you asked brooke for an annulment. That’s good. You’re starting a life with mom. I think that’s amazing.

Thomas: You’re not having second thoughts?

Ridge: Second thoughts? No, this is not… no, I’m just um, uh, what’s the word? I’m– I’m conflicted. I’ve spent two lifetimes with brooke and we’ve done everything together and… I now know she’s in pain. It’s because of me and trying to find a place to put that. Trying to process things, that’s all.

Thomas: I get that. All right, you just– at some point you gotta move past it, right? You gotta move on. And you’ve honestly, you’ve nothing to feel guilty about. All right. So focus on the things that make you happy like, uh, like your family. Right? And your son’s success.

Steffy: Yes. And the joy mom brings to your life.

Ridge: Yeah.

Thomas: Look dad, it’S… you’re moving forward into an incredible time in your life, so there’s no reason to look back. What happened with brooke and everything like that, you got to move beyond that. Like I said, you shouldn’t feel guilty about it, all right? So just focus on your future. Focus on mom.

[ Katie sighing ]

Carter: You need to call your sister.

Katie: No, I’m– I’m going to. I will. I… I’m gonna give her a minute. You know, she– she’ll reach out to me if she needs me. I just hope she’s okay.

Carter: She will be. You logans are the strongest women I’ve ever met.

Katie: Yeah, but we’re not invincible. I mean, I can just see her, she’S… holding those papers and thinking about the life that she wants with ridge, the life that they’ve planned on, the life that they fought for. I mean, they have always overcome everything, outside obstacles in their way, whatever it is that’s thrown in their way, they always overcome it. Taylor wasn’t supposed to be a threat. Ridge said that she wasn’t a threat. They were apart and he came back to her. And now he wants to just wipe everything away like it never even happened. This is going to crush her, carter. She loves ridge so much.

Carter: And he loves her too, I’m sure of it.

Katie: Then why is this happening? Why is this happening?

Carter: It’s gonna be okay.

Ridge: Carter dropped off the papers?

Brooke: You couldn’t have asked carter that? You had to come see for yourself?

Ridge: I just wanna make sure you’re okay.

Brooke: I’m not drinking if that’s what you’re worried about.

Ridge: It’s not what I’m worried about.

Brooke: What do you care?

Ridge: I will always care about you.

Brooke: Yeah? If you really care, ridge, you’d tell me what is going on. Because I don’t understand it. You want to annul our marriage? You want to just erase our life together?

Ridge: We need to move on.

Brooke: Okay. You keep saying we. But if I sign those papers, there will be no we. So, is that really what you want? Is this it? Is this the end for us? Is it? Moderate-to-severe eczema.

Thomas: Think brooke will sign the papers?

Steffy: I can’t believe dad gave them to her.

Thomas: You have doubts?

Steffy: No, I just can’t believe it finally happened. We wanted our parents back together. And after all these years, mom was away wanting to be back with dad, knowing that he would never leave brooke. How he’s finally had enough.

Thomas: Yeah, well, I was starting to wonder.

Steffy: He asked for an annulment. It’s over.

Thomas: Well, it was time, you know, for our family to finally be together. I mean, seeing him and brooke, it’s like, it’s night and day between that and mom. And he’s just so much happier with her. It’s just seeing brooke and how she’s constantly demanding what he does and trying to control everything.

Steffy: And no matter how many times we told him to just stop and break the cycle, dad wouldn’t listen.

Thomas: ‘Til he got the message loud and clear.

Steffy: Yes, and he followed her all the way to aspen and everything changed.

Thomas: And now he’s free. Moving on from that life, moving into a life with our mother and away from brooke logan trying to control him and our family.

Brooke: This annulment isn’t really what you want, ridge. Deep down, you know, it’s a mistake.

Ridge: We can’t keep doing this to each other. We want different things for ourselves, for our kids.

Brooke: So, this is it? This is the end of our marriage?

[ Brooke scoffing ] What is going on? What is this? This wall between us? Why? Everything was fine, ridge, and I love you and I know you love me, too. So, none of this makes sense. I don’t even understand why this is happening. Yeah, you say you need to be with taylor and your children. But why? Your children are adults. They can take care of themselves. And don’t tell me this is just the way it has to be. Because that is no reason. No reason at all. I just need to know why. Why are you doing this?

Brooke: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester. His father, thomas forrester 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.

[ Thomas sighing ]

Thomas: Goodbye, brooke.

[ Ominous instrumental ]

Hope: This– this cannot happen. Thomas, you can’t try to kiss me. I’m married to liam. I’m not here right now, so just leave me a message.

[ Beeping ]

Liam: Hey, hope. It’s– it’s me. Um, would you just– would you call me when you get this? I– honestly, I just wanna know you’re okay.

[ Crowd applauding ]

Ridge: Thank you very much. Now that is quite the collection. I realize that at forrester, we’re mostly known for couture, but every now and then, we get to branch out. It’s a lot of fun for all of us. We’ve done it before with– with brooke’s bedroom and…

[ Audience applauding ]

Brooke: As soon as i walked into the building, I knew that you were here.

Ridge: Logan.

Ridge: So you knew I was gonna be here?

Brooke: Right away.

Ridge: Wow! And my car being in the parking lot, that didn’t give you a hint at all?

Brooke: Well, I didn’t come in that way. No. I could just feel your presence.

Ridge: Huh?

Brooke: How could I not after all those years of being so tuned into you? What did you do to your hand?

Ridge: I don’t know. I was cutting something, making something beautiful and the next thing you know, I’m hurt. Why are you here so late?

Brooke: Uh, well, I thought I’d get a jump start on all the press that’s going to come in for hope for the future.

Ridge: That’s what I’m doing. There’s a few in already.

Brooke: Oh yeah? Tell me they’re good reviews.

Ridge: Not a bad one yet.

Brooke: Oh, that’s great. Hope had so much riding on this preview.

Ridge: Yeah. The press loved it. They’ve been talking about hope and thomas as the new forrester dream team.

Liam: I know. Mommy will be home soon. Just try to go back to sleep, baby.

[ Liam sighing ] Come on, hope. Just come home.

Thomas: Hope, look, I– I didn’t mean to upset you.

Hope: It’s just things have been going really well, and we had this momentous achievement today and I get that emotions are running high, but thomas, that is as far as it goes. I love liam. He’s my husband and I…

[ Hope sighing ] I don’t have any more room in my heart or in my life for another man.

Thomas: You’re right. Emotions are running high and I don’t know, I just… I thought this was our time.

Ridge: Our kids created fashion magic. They overcame their past to do it. Yeah.

Brooke: Hope always sees the best in everybody, even thomas.

[ Ridge laughing ]

Ridge: Yeah, even thomas. There’s a lot of fine things about that young man. He’s a good dad, a good designer. I’m a proud papa. Is that okay?

Brooke: Yeah, I know.

Ridge: But you think he’s gonna disappoint you again? He’s gonna screw up. You know what? We all screw up sometimes, don’t we?

Brooke: Look, ridge. Come on. I don’t wanna argue about thomas. He’s one of the major reasons why hope didn’t lose her line, and I’m very grateful for that. So, let’s just leave it there.

Ridge: Sure.

Brooke: So how was the post celebration over at eric’s?

Ridge: It was good. It’s always good, right?

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: A couple of drinks and laughs, celebrating with the people you’re closest to. Wasn’t the same without you there.

Brooke: What happened? I still don’t understand how we ended up apart.

[ Ridge sighing ]

Liam: Come on! All right. All right. Wyatt. Hey, bro. How soon could you get here? Really? Can I– can I still take you up on that offer to watch beth? Yeah. She– hope’s not back yet and– and her phone keeps going to voicemail and I just– I gotta– I gotta get over there. I have to. Thanks, man. Thank you.

[ Liam sighing ]

Thomas: It’s us. We can do anything together.

[ Hope laughing ]

Hope: I’m sorry. Thomas, this is the last thing I wanna do. I don’t wanna hurt you after the amazing day that we shared together. You know, I– I thought we were on the same page.

Thomas: We were. No, we are.

Hope: Okay. Really? Because I– I thought we had moved past this and that you have changed and then–

Thomas: Look, I have changed. Now you’ve said that I’ve changed and– but, you know, sometimes changes don’t come without a little bit of growing pains. And I– I have been honest with you from the beginning. I mean, I– I’ve told you my commitment to you goes beyond just our work together. And I’ve told you I’m a one-woman man. Hope. That woman, it’s you.

Hope: I can’t be what you want.

Thomas: That’s the problem. You already are.

Hope: I’m married, thomas, and my commitment is to liam and to my family. But I do care about you, which is why I’m being real with you right now because I do not wanna set you up for some kind of fall, thomas. We co-parent douglas together, we work together, and believe it or not… I really do consider you my friend. That is as far as it goes. We cannot be a couple.

Thomas: That’s– you know, that’s fine. Honestly, it’s– it’s just– you know what? Let’s just forget that this ever happened. Look, it’s– it wouldn’t be the– the best thing in the world if– if we told anyone about this either. If you told liam or your mom, well, that could cause a whole big scene. And that might even affect douglas and neither one of us wants to hurt douglas. And that’s– that’s another thing. It is like, you, me and douglas, we’ve been so amazing lately. We’ve got this wonderful bond and relationship, so maybe just forget that it ever happened. I mean, honestly, this– it’s not like anything did happen anyway, so no harm, no foul, right? Tell me– tell me you believe me and that you– you agree and we’re good.

[ Thomas laughing ]

Hope: Well, I do need to ask something of you first, which is, how is this going to affect things going forward? And I need you to be honest, and not just with me, but yourself.

[ Thomas sighing ]

[ Sneezing ]

Hope: We’re at a pretty important crossroad right now and that’s why I’m asking you to be honest. Considering that you want more from me than I’m willing to give, how we move forward from here depends on what you can and cannot handle. So, can you accept our relationship as it is right now, co-workers, co-parents and friends?

Thomas: I have been dealing with it pretty well up until now, don’t you think?

Hope: Well, no, you did just try to kiss me.

Thomas: Yeah, but, you know, look… today was a triumph, all right? And– and– and we just had one of the most influential and– and important moments of our lives and then we all got together. We came over here and we had some fun and everyone was around and toasting us, right? They were celebrating us. And– and that’s just– that’s heady stuff, don’t you think? And you and I, like, I felt so bonded with you lately. And yeah, I, uh, I tried to kiss you and that was a mistake, okay? But it was just a moment. It’s not a hint of things to come so…

[ Thomas sighing ] Let’s not ruin anything because I made some stupid mistake.

Hope: I’m going to choose to believe you. But I am married, so something like this can never and will never happen again.

Thomas: I promise. You’re not gonna say anything, though?

Hope: I don’t think that would benefit anybody. I think we should keep that to ourselves. So right now, I’m going to go home to my husband, liam, and I hope you will tell douglas that I will see him in the morning.

Thomas: Okay? Hope, just one last thing. You did a great job tonight, and everybody was celebrating you, and you deserve that. And I am very, very happy for you.

Hope: Thanks.

Brooke: This has been driving me crazy. This separation. It’s so random. I mean, you just left me and went to taylor. It doesn’t make any sense.

Ridge: Well, maybe one day it will make sense to you. I don’t know.

Brooke: Ridge, how is it gonna make sense?

Ridge: Why are we doing this?

Brooke: I don’t even know what I did!

Ridge: Let’s not rehash this anymore. It doesn’t solve anything. It just– it just creates pain.

Brooke: Of course it creates pain because you’re living at another woman’s house, sharing her bed. Of course that’s gonna bother me.

[ Brooke sighing ] I see that you still love me. I see it in your eyes!

Ridge: There’s no way I could hide that or deny it.

Brooke: Well, then what is it? What happened? What changed? What?

Thomas: What the heck was I thinking? Everything was going so well.

Brooke: I’d like to report a child in danger.

Cps agent: And your name, ma’am?

Thomas: Brooke logan, please hurry.

Brooke’s voice: Brooke logan, please hurry.

Thomas: I got brooke out of my dad’s life. Why did I think tonight was the night for hope and me?

Liam: Oh my god! Hope!

Hope: Babe.

Liam: Hope, oh my god! Are you okay?

Hope: Yes.

Liam: You have no idea how worried I’ve been. I actually called wyatt. I was gonna ask him to come over and– and– and take care of beth, because I was calling you all night and then you weren’t answering and I– I– I– I–

Hope: Oh, my phone died.

Liam: Your phone died?

Hope: Yes.

Liam: Your phone died. Of course. I’m– I– listen, I owe you the world’s biggest apology. I should have stayed at the showing tonight. You’re my wife and I failed you as a husband and I–

Hope: No, liam–

Liam: No, really, I did. But you’re okay, right? Like, everything’s fine and you’re– you’re good?

Hope: Yes.

Liam: Okay. Suffice it to say, um, I– I really need to work on separating my support for you from my feelings about thomas and I didn’t do that tonight and– and I– I’m so sorry.

Hope: No, it’s, uh, it’s fine, liam. Really, I understand.

Liam: Cool. And– and you know me, right? Like, ’cause I didn’t go to the celebration, the longer it took, the more my mind started wondering and it was like a whole spiral– anyway, I’m just, oh, I’m so glad you’re home, really. Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret. what happened?

Ridge: Hey, hey, it’s pointless. Just going around in a circle.

Brooke: Yes, it is pointless. Just come home, ridge, and we can be together. We can work through this, whatever this is, and you can open up to me whenever you’re ready.

Ridge: Apparently, that’s not possible.

Brooke: Well, it is possible. We can fix this and we can move on with our future together.

Ridge: I’m with taylor now.

Brooke: Oh, god! I can’t hear that come out of your mouth. You should be with me. I am your wife.

Ridge: I never meant to hurt you. I’m sorry.

Brooke: Ridge, you can make it go away. You have the power to do that. I am not gonna give up on us. I’m not. We will be together again.

Liam: I’m so glad you’re here. Honestly, I was really– I– I thought you might even just stay the whole night.

Brooke: Once douglas was asleep, the party was over, there was no reason to stay.

Liam: I’m so glad to hear you say that. I’m also glad to know what a huge success the– the showing was. My god!

Hope: I think it’s safe to say it certainly was.

Liam: Well, there was never any doubt about that. But I know that you wanted me there, and I know that I disappointed you and I’m sorry for that. Uh, you know something? I actually– I decided to stay. I was gonna stay, but then I went backstage to wish you luck and I saw, I don’t know, kind of look like you and thomas were having a moment and then my mind started spinning and I freaked out and I just, I– I– I took off.

Hope: You should have stayed… but I understand why you didn’T.

Liam: I do still worry that the more time you spend with him, the closer he gets to you by design. But I just have to chill out and have faith that if I’m right, he’ll show his true colors and you’ll see them.

Thomas: Don’t you see how great of a team that we make? There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you, hope.

Hope: Wait, stop!

Thomas: Got my stupid hopes up.

Hope: Our lead designer, my partner in crime, thomas forrester.

[ Audience applauding ] I am married, so something like this can never and will never happen again.

Hope: Thank you.

Liam: So, listen.

Hope: Mm.

Liam: I’m your husband. I love you. I’m just– I’m always gonna be like hyper aware of everything going on around you all the time… and I– I just didn’t want thomas and his obsession to hurt you again.

Hope: Thomas won’t be a problem. I promise.

[ Gentle music ]

Thomas: We did it hope. We wowed the entire fashion world.

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: I don’t know about the entire fashion world, but… I’m really proud of us, and so is our son.

Thomas: I know, it’s pretty awesome, having your son look at you like you climbed mount everest and swam the english channel in the same day.

Hope: Well, I hope he’ll always feel that way about us. That we’ll never let him down.

Thomas: We won’T.

Hope: Yeah, it’s just… you know, we’re not perfect, and try as we might sometimes… I don’t know, it’s unavoidable. You let down the people you love the most sometimes.

Thomas: Okay, um… tell me if I’m wrong here, but if you’re talking about you somehow letting liam down, don’t you think it’s the other way around? That he’s the one who didn’t show up for you?

Hope: No, I know. I just… I wish my husband were as excited for me as our son is.

Liam: Aw, well, I’m glad kelly had a good night. Yeah, no, no, no. Don’t– don’t worry about that. Just– just, uh, kiss her for me when she wakes up tomorrow. All right. Okay, I’ll see ya.

[ Door unlocking ]

Wyatt: Wow, sorry to disappoint.

Bill: I know you’re worried about hope and the time she’s been spending with thomas. But now that the preview is behind them… it’s going to be okay, brooke. Your daughter is not going to get sucked in any further by the dressmaker’s crackpot kid. You know why? Because of me. I will always protect you and the ones you love. Count on it.

Deacon: Hey, gimme your hand.

Sheila: Why should I–

[ Glass breaking ]

Deacon: So you don’t do that.

[ Sheila laughing ]

Deacon: Are you okay? All right, come on.

Sheila: I think– I think the more pertinent question is are you okay?

[ Sheila gasping ]

Deacon: Yeah. Restaurant closed early, seemed like the perfect time.

Sheila: For what?

Deacon: Get you out of that crowded apartment upstairs into the real world. A little night out on the town, or at least downstairs. Pretty cool, huh?

Sheila: And how can we be sure that somebody is not gonna see us?

Deacon: ‘Cause I lock the joint up every night, and I made sure the cameras wouldn’t see us.

Sheila: Yeah, but isn’t there a night watchman?

Deacon: Yeah, you’re looking at him. You don’t have to worry about a thing, all right? I know I’ve been nervous about getting busted, but I have thought this through. I’ve taken every precaution. You’re don’t have to worry, we’re not gonna get caught.

Sheila: Caught doing what?

Deacon: My, you’re the one with the twisted imagination.

[ Sheila scoffing ]

Deacon: You tell me.

Sheila: Mhm.

Brooke: I just wish liam had been there for the fashion show.

Bill: Well, if he hadn’t found hope in tommy boy’s arms, he would have been. Now, I’m not calling out your daughter, but I absolutely understand why liam had to get out of there.

Brooke: Liam’s been watching hope being drawn into thomas’ orbit more and more. I just don’t know why she doesn’t see it.

Bill: Maybe she doesn’t wanna see it. ‘Cause hope’s all about second chances and forgiveness, and listen, those are wonderfully admirable qualities, and they could be well-deserved, but not in this case. Not when it comes to the dressmaker’s mini-me. So here we are, hope is at eric’s celebrating with thomas and the family, which includes ridge… and that’s gotta make you feel very alone.

Wyatt: So, where’s my beautiful little niece?

Liam: Oh, in bed, fast asleep.

Wyatt: Oh, shoot, that’s right. Aw, wanted to read her a bedtime story.

Liam: Well, next time, for sure.

Wyatt: Yeah, yeah. So where’s the M.I.A. Mother? I hear kudos are in order. I heard hope’s preview was a success and wanted to congratulate her.

Liam: Yeah, um… yeah– is that why you’re here?

Wyatt: Yeah, and to see beth, I told you. You not so much.

[ Liam scoffing ]

Liam: That’s fair.

Wyatt: So where is she? She, uh, still at forrester or what?

Liam: No, hope is at eric’S. With our favorite person.

Wyatt: Thomas?

Thomas: Okay, listen, look, I know that you’re bummed about liam not showing up for you at the fashion show or here.

Hope: He had his reasons.

Thomas: You know what? Liam is gonna do what liam is gonna do, but instead of focusing on the people that aren’t showing up for you, why don’t you just focus on the people that do? The people that always do. There’s nothing like hitting the waves.

Deacon: All right.

[ Liquid splashing ]

Sheila: There you go, pouring the good stuff, you really are pampering me.

Deacon: Bottoms up.

Sheila: Whoa, bottoms up? What kind of a toast is that? Are you serious? Aren’t we supposed to be on a date?

Deacon: What do you wanna hear? Something sappy, like, uh, I don’t know… “oh, sheila, every time I’m near you, my heart, it just, goes pitter-patter, pitter-patter.”

Sheila: Yeah.

[ Deacon laughing ]

Sheila: Yeah, I like that. I bet you wouldn’t have problems toasting brooke, now would you?

Bill: So, do we have a deal?

[ Brooke sighing ]

Bill: When you need a shoulder to lean on, mine’s the one you’ll come to first.

Brooke: Well, what about my family and their shoulders?

[ Bill snorting ]

Bill: What are you talking about? Come on now. Look at these babies. Come on, right? You’ve seen ’em.

Brooke: I see them.

Bill: Bigger, stronger, and there for you whenever you need them.

Brooke: Mhm.

Bill: Brooke, seriously, uh, sharpe can’t be coming around here. He’s trouble.

Brooke: Oh, so what you’re saying is, deacon is a part of my family.

Bill: No, that’s not what I’m saying–

Brooke: Yeah, that’s what you’re saying.

Bill: What I’m saying– no, what I’m saying is that he is hope’s father, and if they wanna hang out, they’re welcome to do that all they want, just not here. You need to be completely off limits. And, uh, if you think that’s because I want you all to myself?

Brooke: Mm-hmm?

Bill: I do.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Wyatt: Hope’s with thomas?

Liam: Yeah, they’re celebrating over at eric’S.

Wyatt: Wow, why can’t that guy just go away? Okay, but aren’t things winding down by now?

Liam: Yeah, well, you’d think. Uh, apparently it was, you know, douglas is still up, big day for him, too. And I– I guess, you know, he’s seeing both his mom and his dad on the runway celebrating this victory, and so it’S…

Wyatt: Fine, I– I– I get that. But I just assumed because it’s late, like…

[ Wyatt sighing ] Okay, I’m guessing there’s more to this situation.

Liam: Of course there’s more to the situation. I want to be happy for hope. I want to be happy for all of her success, I just hate that it has to be shared with thomas. I– I think he’s taking advantage of her again, and she doesn’t see it or doesn’t want to.

Douglas: So, it’s been like, the coolest day ever. The fashion show, mom on the runway wearing your gown.

Thomas: Oh, hey, not just wearing it, she was rocking it like nobody’s business.

[ Hope giggling ]

Douglas: So, I was gonna say, maybe I could come to work with you tomorrow? You know, skip school…

Hope: Mhm, yeah, keep dreaming there, bud. But, uh, speaking of dreams, I think it might be time for someone to head upstairs and get ready for bed. You’ve had a very long day.

Douglas: Do I have to?

Thomas: Yes.

Douglas: All right. But, since you and mom are here, can you both tuck me in?

Thomas: I think that can be arranged.

Douglas: Awesome.

[ Hope laughing ]

Douglas: I wish it was like this every night.

At chewy, you can save

on all the gifts you need

Brooke: So, you want me all to yourself?

Bill: Always.

Brooke: Always is a very long time.

Bill: Are we getting philosophical now?

[ Brooke scoffing ]

Brooke: I always believed that I would always be with ridge.

Bill: Well, might be a good time to start. He is with taylor now.

Brooke: Okay, bill, yes, I am very well aware of that. But, uh, doesn’t mean I’ll stop loving him. I always will. If only I could understand why he left and went into taylor’s arms.

Bill: Well, you may never have the answer to that. But just knowing this, I will always be your stallion.

[ Brooke laughing ]

[ Bill neighing ]

[ Foot patting ]

Brooke: Oh, so silly.

Deacon: Why’d you have to bring brooke up? She’s not here. Tonight’s about you.

Sheila: That’s what i just don’t understand though. I– I knew you wanted to get me out of the apartment, and–

Deacon: Maybe there’s more to it than that. Maybe I’m trying to tell you something.

Sheila: My, if you’re gonna propose–

[ Deacon laughing ]

Deacon: No, no, I’m– no. But I’m having a good time.

Sheila: Me too.

Deacon: I have an idea. Why don’T… we dance?

Sheila: Uh… there’s no music.

Deacon: I’m aware, you know, the place is supposed to be closed. We can’t be blasting music.

Sheila: Yes, someone would definitely hear us.

Deacon: We’re just gonna have to get creative.

Sheila: Oh, I can be creative.

Deacon: Oh, I– trust me, I know. Um, okay, so, close your eyes and I want you to think of a song. Get it in your head. We both think about it. And then we’ll dance.

Sheila: Never knew you could be so romantic. Well, what song? What song?

Deacon: It’s your night. Ladies’ choice.

Deacon: Oh, I like that one.

[ Thomas sighing ]

Thomas: More cham-pag-ne?

Hope: Oh, no, I shouldn’T. I actually need to get going.

Thomas: Oh, well, in that case, how about some of california’s, I think, finest sparkling cider?

Hope: Well, in that case…

Thomas: Okay.

Hope: Yes, please.

Thomas: All right.

Hope: Thank you.

Thomas: Yep.

Hope: Hmm, cheers.

Thomas: Cheers. You were phenomenal tonight, hope. You really were. It was incredible to see, and now the entire fashion world knows it.

[ Hope sighing ] They can see what I see, which is this strong, beautiful, passionate woman that I know and adore. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Deacon: Are you enjoying yourself?

Sheila: I– I can’t even begin to tell you how much.

Deacon: That’s what this evening was all about.

Sheila: Thank you. But seriously deacon, uh… tonight has been a godsend. I so appreciate you giving me a place to stay, but I really appreciate not having to hide out tonight. I think that this is– this is what I really miss. Being out in the world, you know, not having to wear a mask.

Deacon: Well, I guess, then, I should thank you, too. Because as crazy as it sounds, when I’m with you, I don’t feel like I have to wear a mask. I can just be myself.

Sheila: Really, thank you so much for tonight. And creating our own little piece of paradise, even if it is just for a couple of stolen hours. This has just been a great reminder that I have so much to live for. That I– I’ve done it before, and… and I’ll do it again. My life’s not over, I’m– not by a long shot.

Brooke: You and that whinny.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Bill: Look at you. I made you laugh. Do you have any idea how good that makes me feel? I mean it brooke. You don’t have to be alone. You don’t have to be hurting. Do you remember how good it was when we were together? I know you haven’t forgotten. I never will. We were incredible together. And we could be again.

Hope: I’m really grateful for you because I know I couldn’t have done this without you.

Liam: Don’t fall for it, hope. What am I doing?

Hope: Today was amazing and thanks in large part to you and all your talent. You really stepped up and not just with hope for the future, but, you know, as a father to douglas. I–

[ Hope chuckling ] I think it’s safe to say that you really have changed.

Thomas: You know, you, you and my son have been my inspiration. My inspiration to change from what I was to become a better man. A man that’s worthy of both of you. You really were my inspiration though, I mean, just thinking back, all of those designs, they– they were inspired by you. I was thinking about you with every single stitch. And don’t– don’t you see how great of a team that we make? There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you, hope. Literally nothing.

Hope: Wait, stop! Stop. This isn’t going to happen.

[ Champagne bottle popping ]

[ People cheering ]

Eric: Very nice.

Hope: That always scares me for some reason.

Zende: One thing about a forrester celebration, is that we don’t stop toasting until we’ve been through every bottle of champagne.

Ridge: Here, here.

Donna: Absolutely and the good stuff, right?

Douglas: Can I have a little?

Thomas: Oh, yeah!

Hope: Uh… oh yeah, yes, we have the finest vintage apple cider here, for the finest son.

Eric: Everybody. The hope for the future preview was a resounding success, and that’s thanks to your terrific talent and your wonderful collaboration. It was extraordinary, it really was. I’m so proud of both of you. So, here’s to the two of you. Forrester creations’ newest dream team. Cheers.

All: Cheers!

[ Glasses clinking ]

Bill: Sound asleep?

Liam: Yeah. Took a little bit longer. Beth, um, really wanted to see her mom tonight.

Bill: Any word from hope?

Liam: Nope.

[ Knocking on door ]

Brooke: Hi, am i interrupting?

Liam: Hey, no, come on in, not at all.

Bill: Hey, brooke. How you doing?

Brooke: Just got back from forrester.

Liam: How– how was the, um, preview? I mean, I’ve been reading about it, but…

Brooke: Oh, the buyers loved it. The show was a hit, and hope was absolutely stunning.

[ Liam sighing ]

Liam: Good. That’s good, that’s really good. I’m not– you know, not that hope had anything to worry about– but I know how important the showing was for– for her and her line.

Brooke: Yeah, I know. That’s why I was surprised you weren’t there to witness hope’s achievement for yourself.

Steffy: It was just like one of your fairy tales. Every model looked like a princess.

Kelly: Like cinderella?

Steffy: Just like cinderella.

Kelly: Mommy, I wanna see the pretty dresses.

Steffy: I’ll take you some time, and you can see all of uncle thomas’ designs.

Kelly: Really?

Stefy: Absolutely.

Kelly: Can I try them on?

Steffy: I think they might be a little big for you. But I can see what I can do. Aw.

Finn: It sounds like tonight was amazing. Your brother and hope make a really good team.

Steffy: I promise I’ll take you to the next fashion show. You would love all the dresses, and the lights, and the music.

Kelly: Can I dance?

Steffy: Only if I can dance with you.

Kelly: Deal!

Steffy: Deal!

[ Finn chuckling ]

Finn: Okay well, now it’s time to go dance your way into bed.

Steffy: Mm-hmm, yes.

Finn: So, why don’t you go brush your teeth and mommy will be in to tuck you.

Steffy: Come here, I got you.

Finn: Good night, kelly.

Steffy: Whoa!

[ Finn sighing ]

[ Steffy laughing ]

Finn: Big day for forrester, huh?

Steffy: Yeah, yeah. Big day for hope and my brother.

Brooke: Liam, look, I understand your concerns about all the time that hope is spending with thomas. I share those same concerns. But this was a very big day for my daughter.

Liam: I– believe me, I know.

Brooke: Okay, so why weren’t you there supporting her?

Bill: Because he couldn’t stand seeing thomas’ slimy hands all over his wife.

Brooke: What?

Liam: Thanks, dad.

Bill: All right, look. Liam is a better man than I am. He was civil, he’s still trying to be civil. Me? I would have knocked thomas’ head off his shoulders.

Brooke: Okay. What is your father talking about?

Douglas: I never thought dresses could be so cool. But the show was awesome! I’m really proud of you guys.

Thomas: Thanks, bud. But all the credit goes to your mom.

Hope: Oh, that is not even remotely true.

Thomas: I am nothing without inspiration. And you inspire me.

Eric: In the morning.

[ People laughing ]

Zende: Thomas, hope and douglas really do make a sweet family.

Ridge: Yes, they do. It’s nice to see that the time that thomas has put in is finally paying off. Especially when it comes to his relationship with his son.

Eric: Yeah. It’s wonderful to see.

Ridge: Yes.

Donna: Though I’m not sure liam would agree.

Douglas: Seeing you two up there, everyone clapping, you guys were like rock stars!

[ Thomas chuckling ] And mom, you were so pretty up on stage.

Hope: Aw, thank you, sweetie.

Thomas: You know, douglas, I think you do have that forrester gift after all. You recognize beauty when you see it. You were breathtaking. I brought in ensure max protein

Finn: It’s just so adorable seeing how excited kelly is about attending a fashion show.

Steffy: Yeah, she definitely has forrester blood in her veins.

Finn: Sky’s the limit, I mean, she could be the best designer forrester creations ever created. Or ceo of the entire company.

Steffy: Or both.

Finn: Or– or both.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Steffy: This was really nice. Yeah, today was great.

Finn: I wish I could’ve been there.

Steffy: I understand, you had your patients. I get it.

Finn: But, I’m glad the preview went off without a hitch.

Steffy: I mean, yeah, yeah. It went well. Almost.

Finn: Almost?

Steffy: Well, no, it’s um… liam wasn’t there.

Brooke: How could hope let thomas embrace her like?

Bill: The master manipulator.

Liam: Yeah, he is. But how does hope not see that?

Bill: Because thomas plays the long game. He takes all the time he needs to worm his way back into hope’s life. He’s been setting this up for years.

Liam: Yeah, and now he’s embedded in the memory of one of the biggest moments of her entire career.

Brooke: All the while having sleepovers with douglas and her.

Liam: I still can’t even believe what I saw when I went backstage. I mean, just the look on hope’s face when he said, “there’s nothing we can’t do together.”

Brooke: I don’t know how, but this has to stop.

Liam: Okay, wha– what do we do? I mean, seriously, what do we do? ‘Cause the harder we push, the more she resists.

Bill: Well, we’ll figure something out. We have to. The more time thomas spends with hope and douglas, the more danger your family is in.

Ridge: Where did my grandson disappear to?

Hope: Oh, douglas went upstairs to go watch a movie.

Thomas: Yeah, it’s been a long day for him. He needed to rest.

Ridge: I get it. I’m so pleased he got to see the two of you working together.

Eric: It was a wonderful thing to see.

Donna: Yeah.

Eric: I was in awe of both of you.

Zende: If you all don’t mind, I’d like to say a few words.

Thomas: Oh, no.

Ridge: Oh, boy, here we go.

Zende: Yeah, get ready. When I first got back to L.A. Thomas and I, we had this unspoken competition when it came to design.

Ridge: You should look up “unspoken.” ‘Cause it’s not what–

Zende: Okay, fine, it was very spoken–

Ridge: Okay.

Zende: We were outspoken about it, but it was only because I was inspired by your talent. And I still am. And, hope, your ability to communicate your love and your passion, you are an endless source of inspiration. I am so proud and so grateful to be part of such a wonderful, talented team.

Thomas: We couldn’t have done it without you, man.

Hope: Yeah, you were a big part of the success on that stage today.

Zende: Thank you for the props, but I don’t want to take away from your moment. Grandad was right. You two may very well be the next dream team of forrester creations.

Ridge: Wow.

Zende: Cheers.

Ridge: Cheers to that.

[ Glasses clinking ] Vicks vapostick.

Steffy: Mm, your hands are magic.

Finn: Not just my hands. I’m just, so proud of you. Everything that you were able to accomplish today.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: You were able to give hope and thomas everything they needed to shine.

Steffy: Yeah, you’re right. It went well today.

Finn: So, why wasn’t liam there?

Steffy: I think because of thomas.

Finn: Well, that’s a shame.

Steffy: You know what? The kids are sleeping. It’s quiet in the house. Why are we talking about hope and liam?

Finn: That’s a very good question.

Steffy: Come here.

Bill: Still nothing?

Liam: No.

Brooke: It’s not like hope not to check in. Maybe you should head over to eric’S.

Liam: Believe me, I want to. But if– if I got over there and I saw one more moment between hope and thomas, I would probably do something I regret.

Bill: Maybe that wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Liam: Under normal circumstances, I’d agree with you. But today was hope’s big day. And I– I can’t be the one who ruins it.

Bill: Liam, son. That’s really sweet and all. But right now, thomas is with your wife while you are staring at your phone. You need to do something.

Donna: Hope, I am– I just wanna say that I was speechless today on how beautiful you were and I mean, the whole line, really.

Hope: Thank you, aunt donna. And thank you for helping with the lobby.

Donna: Oh, yeah, I don’t mind the hazard pay. Working with pammy.

Eric: Oh–

Donna: I mean, hello?

Donna: But seriously, I mean, you were stunning. And thomas, uh… I must say, I gotta give you props. Some pretty incredible designs.

Thomas: Well, it was all hope. Her vision and–

Eric: No, thomas you can take the compliment. You deserve it.

Zende: You definitely do.

Ridge: Son, what I saw today, that’s the kind of stuff that parents dream about. Am I right?

Eric: That’s right.

Ridge: And I don’t even mean your talent, because that’s in your dna. You got that from your grandfather. I’m talking about you not giving up on yourself and working hard. And like your mom said in a call earlier, you should be very proud of yourself. Now you, we’ve had our problems in the past, but I… I think I see you now. Thank you for creating hope for the future, and not just creating it, but living it. It’s not just fashion, is it? It’s you, it’s your kindness. It’s what you do for other people. What you did for him. You didn’t turn your back on him, like so many other people did. And I will never forget that. The two of you make a great team, not just as designers, but as parents. I see douglas, and he has never been so happy. So here it is, to a great collection and a very happy boy. Hope and thomas.

Eric: Hope and thomas.

Ridge: Cheers.

Thomas: Cheers.

Hope: Cheers.

Zende: Nice.

[ Glasses clinking ]

Thomas: Cheers.

Hope: Cheers. Why give your family just any eggs

Brooke: Do you think it was a good idea to leave liam alone? I mean, I think he needs our support.

Bill: I don’t know, I don’t know. Look, it’s in my nature to wanna, you know, fix it, to want to take over.

[ Bill sighing ] Just gonna fight against that. Liam has to sit with it and he has to think about how he wants to handle it, without my voice, without our voices in his ear.

Brooke: Okay. Well, I’m sure hope will be home soon.

Bill: How are you doing?

Brooke: Just worried about hope and liam’s marriage.

Bill: They’re going to work it out. They always do. I’m worried about you. This is a big day for hope and you’re not at eric’s celebrating with her.

Brooke: No. That would be kind of awkward, and painful to see ridge there. I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that he left, or the fact that I didn’t know why he left.

Bill: I know why. Because that’s what he does. Ridge leaves, he’s a fool.

Brooke: Oh, bill.

Bill: I’m sorry, but he is a fool.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Bill: If he could see you through my eyes, he would never let you go. Because I would never let you go.

Brooke: I love ridge.

Bill: And what if his love isn’t enough? The man who loves you should cherish you, desire you, be unshakably committed to you. If you let me, I could make you very, very happy, brooke. We were amazing once, and we could be amazing again.

Thomas: Looks like we’re the last ones standing.

Ridge: Actually, I’m uh, gonna head to the office and try to get ahead of this storm you guys created.

Hope: Thank you again for your kind words. They meant a lot.

Ridge: This is a great day. Savor it.

Hope: Bye.

Ridge: Bye. Okay, see you.

Hope: Ahem.

Thomas: All this, it’s ’cause you.

Hope: Thomas.

Thomas: It’s true, come on. Look, I did some horrible things in the past, and then I hurt you and– but you continued to believe in me, even before I could believe in myself.

Hope: Well, when you allow those good things to happen, it’s actually a very beautiful thing. I always knew you had it in you. Although I do think I might have underestimated your talent, because when I saw that showstopper, I mean…

Thomas: Nah, that– that whole thing, that dress was the easiest dress I’ve ever had to design. It was inspired by you. So, all I had to do is think about you and there it was.

Hope: Well, I don’t know, I think you might have some kind of mystical, magical powers because you did predict what would happen on the runway.

Thomas: No, no. I don’t need magical powers to see how beautiful you and your light are.

[ Phone ringing ]

Hope: That’s liam, I should take this.

Thomas: Sure, sure.

Hope: Hey.

Liam: Hey. You’re still at eric’s, I take it?

Hope: Yes.

Liam: Well, I’m really glad that the preview was a success, honestly, I’m so, so happy for you.

Hope: I appreciate that.

Liam: Do you have a second to talk?

Hope: Liam, I’m– I’m celebrating tonight, so I really don’t wanna get into it.

Liam: Yeah, no– yeah, sure, sure, of course. Um, suffice it to say, I… I think my decision was probably for the best.

Hope: We can talk about it later.

Liam: I was thinking maybe, you and I could do, like, a little celebratory thing, when we you back.

Hope: Oh, well, douglas is still up, so I do wanna tuck him into bed. So, we’ll probably be here celebrating for a little longer.

Liam: “We” is you and thomas?

Hope: Yes.

[ Liam scoffing ]

Liam: Told you.

Well, listen, just– just be careful, okay? Don’t– don’t, don’t let him–

Hope: I’ll be home later.

Liam: Oh, I’ll be here. I love you.

Hope: Love you too.

Thomas: You don’t have to run off already, do ya? ‘Cause we have so much to celebrate.

Hope: Well, I think I’ll be riding this high for a little while. But, once I put douglas to sleep, I think I should…

Thomas: Oh, come on. This is our moment. Tell me you won’t leave just yet.

Steffy: That’s how you start a show.

Katie: I hope the buyers agree.

Brooke: Wait ’tilse the showstopper. They’re going to go crazy.

Steffy: Fingers crossed.

Carter: Is hope modelling it?

Brooke: Yeah. And douglas is so excited to see her up on the stage.

Steffy: Not to mention his father. Hope wouldn’t have a line if it weren’t for her lead designer.

They say you’re so bad for me we always want what we shouldn’t have breathe life into me, baby take me now, lay me down whoa every time I I’m left alone I pick up the phone and look up your name

Hope: Thank you. Thank you. Hi. You look beautiful.

Thomas: Hey.

Hope: Hi.

Thomas: Hear those applause?

Hope: Yeah. It’s got to be a good sign, right?

Thomas: Yeah. Well, it’s better than boos and rotten tomatoes.

Hope: Oh gosh, please don’t even put that into the universe. The last thing I need to worry about is flying produce while I’m in the showstopper.

Thomas: No, I don’t think you have to worry about that. Um, but I did notice, is liam really not here? You know what? He’s probably just grabbing a drink or something, all right? So don’t let that worry you right now.

Bill: Cheers! Told you he’d take it.

Wyatt: I thought you were crazy for giving him such a low ball offer.

Bill: That’s because you don’t have the gift of smelling desperation the way I do. It may be something you’ll develop. Maybe, you will.

Wyatt: I think– hey, there he is.

Liam: Hey.

Bill: Ah.

Liam: How’d the meeting go?

Bill: Oh, well, now you’re concerned about it, 20 minutes after it ended.

Wyatt: Come on, dad. You know liam had plans already. Hope’s fashion preview. Wait, why– why aren’t you there right now?

One, two, three, four

[ Cameras clicking ]

Say what’s up to the world I’m a dime and change I got style we got style walk in the room and it goes boom, boom boom boom, boom boom ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

Steffy: Where’s liam?

Liam: I was there. I was planning to stay.

Bill: You decided that this particular spencer publications meeting that you knew wyatt and I had under control was more important? I don’t think so.

Wyatt: You probably won’t be too late. You could at least make the showstopper. Unless you don’t want to be there.

Liam: Of course, I want to be there. I should be there cheering hope on.Ife. I can’T.

Thomas: Hey.

Hope: Hey.

Thomas: It’s a huge disappointment, I know, liam not being here. But hey, you know what? I’m the one he hates, right? Not you. So, let’s just take it, put it in a box, we’ll think about it later, all right? Because we’ve got to focus on the show.

Hope: Mmm, I’m doing that.

Thomas: All right, that’s all I need to hear. Well, hey, let’s check on them and see how they’re doing. Trelegy for copd.

Liam: So, you know, I was standing there just overhearing all these– these glowing compliments that she was giving him.

Wyatt: Because he’s her lead designer? They’re still doing that?

Liam: And, you know, and guess how he responded? It’s not me, hope. It’s us. There’s nothing we can’t do together.

Wyatt: Oh, my god. And hope doesn’t see what he’s doing?

Liam: No! No. She just smiled up at him and let him hold her.

Bill: Hold her?

Liam: Yeah. Yeah. He took her into an embrace. It was like a– like a big, warm hug. I mean, and no doubt, you know, anybody else, it would have been innocent and I’m sure that’s how hope perceived it, but this is thomas we’re talking about. It wasn’t innocent. S and, yes, I– I know that I should have stayed, but in that moment, wyatt, it was either punch him in the face or walk away. And I knew for the sake of hope, for the sake of the line, I had to–

Bill & wyatt: To punch him in the face.

Liam: Walk away.

Eric: Girls, girls, you’re wonderful.

Zende: He’s right. You guys are killing it. Keep it up.

Eric: Yeah.

Ridge: No congratulations yet. We’re not finished.

Eric: All right.

[ Crowd oohing ]

[ Cameras clicking ]

Thomas: You were right.

Hope: About?

Thomas: That dress. I thought it’d be too edgy. I asked you, you said, “no, no, it’s great.” And you were right. Look at the audience reaction. They’re loving it.

Hope: They seem to be.

Thomas: You’re also right about liam. Okay? Like, it’s stupid he’s not here. And you know what? Look at this. This is all because of you, all right? You should be celebrating yourself, not worrying about some guy who can’t be okay with one of your coworkers.

Ridge: Thomas. Thomas?

Thomas: Yeah.

Ridge: I need your help here.

Thomas: I’ll be back.

[ Crowd applause ]

[ Cameras clicking ]

Carter: Not a dud in sight.

Katie: You think there would be?

Carter: No. But the buyer over there sure was.

Steffy: The line has been incredible, but we still need to see the showstopper. Hope needs to sell the entire line in that moment or the whole show is a bust. You know I’m right. It all rests on hope. If you’re on medicare,

Bill: Does hope have selective memory or something? Has she forgotten all the horrible, criminal things that thomas has done?

Liam: I don’t know how she could. I mean, I don’t know how she can live through everything that he did to us and still– I mean, good god, like he had her up on the roof trying to kidnap her. He lied to us for months about our daughter being dead. How can she even look him in the eye? Like, is it me? Is it me? Am I being overprotective?

Bill: You are absolutely right to be protective. Thomas is as crazy as ever and your wife shouldn’t be near him.

Wyatt: I mean, whether she knows it or not, she needs you now more than ever.

I’m making waves with the words that come from my lips I love to rock the boat as I’m swinging my hips they’re saying, come on baby gotta do it like this but I’ll be unforgettable

Sid: This design has my vote.

Del: I mean, it’s definitely in my final two.

I’ll be unforgettable bold like a lion there ain’t no use in denying I march to a beat that’s all my own a kick and a clap and a boom, boom I’m making waves with my words that come from my lips I love to rock the boat as I’m swinging my hips

Steffy: It’s good energy. Now, hope needs to keep the momentum going.

Brooke: She will.

Steffy: She better. My brother worked really hard on this. It’s in her hands now. It’s up to her to make it the grand slam it deserves.

Ridge: Hope.

Hope: Yes?

Ridge: It’s time to get ready.

Thomas: Yeah. Can’t wait to see you in that showstopper.

Hope: Okay. Let’s go. Let’s do this.

Thomas: Okay. Everything you need is in your changing room. You okay?

Hope: Yeah. Do I not seem it?

Thomas: But it’s just that everything that we’ve been working on for the past few months comes to a climax right now.

Hope: Oh! Right. No pressure. So great pep talk. I will get going.

Thomas: Okay. Hope, hope. Look, I know that you were ready. You are ready. And then liam didn’t show up. That could throw anyone. All right. But it’s not going to throw you. You want to know how I know that? Because I made that dress for you. It embodies everything that I see in you. The loving nature, the passion, the sex appeal.

[ Thomas chuckling ] Look, when you hit that runway, every reporter, every person in that room is going to see what I see in you. They’re going to see this magnificent woman. But not just hope logan, wonderful woman that she is, they’re going to see exactly what I see in you. Which is a woman that commands the stage, a woman that owns the room. They’ll see why I had to make this gown for you. They’re going to see without me even having to express it with words why I’m a one woman man, and that woman is you.

Hope: That was very sweet of you, thomas.

Thomas: Not trying to be sweet, I’m trying to inspire you and show you what you have been working– what we have been working for. I can’t wait to see you shine. One prilosec otc each morning blocks

Thomas: All right, hope’s ready.

Ridge: All right. Perfect timing. How’s she– she, uh, look?

Thomas: Flawless.

Ridge: That’s what we need.

Eric: Ha ha! Good. Good.

Ridge: Hey, well done, everybody.

Eric: Beautiful, girls. Thank you. Thank you.

Ridge: Well, my turn. Wish me luck.

Thomas: All right. Like you need it.

Eric: Go get ’em. Good show, buddy.

Thomas: Thanks, granddad.

Eric: Yeah.

Bill: I have to disagree with you, wyatt.

Wyatt: What? You were the one who was talking about how liam needed to protect hope.

Bill: He does need to do that after the show. He can go celebrate with hope in private, away from thomas. Liam doesn’t have to sit there and look at the two of them on the stage, uh, celebrating with each other, gushing about what a great team they are and the joys of working with sustainable fabric or whatever the hell hope for the future is supposed to be about.

Liam: Listen, as much as I hate to admit it, dad’s right here.

Wyatt: What?

Liam: This is about me. This is about my state of mind. I can’t sit there and watch hope and thomas arm in arm. I can’t do it. I mean, anyone else? Literally anyone else? Sure. Thomas? No.

[ Crowd applause ]

Ridge: Thank you very much. Now, that is, uh, quite the collection. I realize that at forrester, we are mostly known for couture, but every now and then, we get to branch out. It’s a lot of fun. For all of us, we’ve done it before with… with brooke’s bedroom. And, uh, now we’re doing it again with hope for the future. Now, we have one more thing to share with you, and that is our beautiful showstopper designed by my son, thomas, and modelled by the one, the only, the voice, the face and the name behind hope for the future: Hope logan spencer.

[ Applause ] Okay. Wow. Uh, your turn.

Thomas: Your vision, my design. We brought this to life. Remember what I said, together, we can do anything. Okay.

Hope: Okay.

And the truth is always shining written on my face written on my face breaking free from all my fears wash away the doubts if you try and hold me down I won’t hide this is my time for all my life now you see me my beating heart and soul

[ Applause ]

I’m gonna live, live I’m gonna laugh, laugh I’m gonna love, love I know I can, I can, I know I will, I will this is my time for all my life I’m gonna live, live I’m gonna laugh, laugh I’m gonna love, love

Eric: Well, I think that makes it official. We’ve got a hit on our hands.

Zende: Yes. Yes, we do.

Ridge: I’m proud of you, son.

Thomas: I’m proud of her. Look at her owning that runway. Every last clap and cheer is for her.

[ Applause ]

Hope: Thank you. Thank you. Wow. Wow, this kind of response, it really, truly means a lot. Um, I’m going to be honest, it wasn’t always easy. There were a lot of long nights, blood, sweat and tears and hard work in order to bring this presentation to you here today. Um, but I couldn’t have done it alone. I have so many people I’d like to thank from the sewers to the beautiful models to– to our esteemed ceos, steffy forrester and ridge forrester. Thank you for your belief in hope for the future. My darling son, douglas, and his sister, beth. You two are the biggest supporters that I have, and I love you more than anything in the world. And of course, to my husband, liam. Uh, and our designers. Our brilliant, talented designers. Zende forrester, his energy and his drive was so inspiring. And I would especially like to thank our lead designer, my partner in crime, thomas forrester.

Eric: Very nice. Okay. Ridge, how’d that happen?

Ridge: I was cutting something then I–

Eric: Well, don’t cut things. We are doing a show here. You okay?

Ridge: Yeah. Thanks for your concern. It really means a lot. How are we doing?

Eric: We are good.

Thomas: Mckenzie turn for me.

Mckenzie: Wow. Thomas, you and hope have really outdone yourselves.

Thomas: I just hope the audience feels that way and doesn’t throw me on the chopping block. Uh, grandpa, what do you think?

Eric: What, this? It’s beautiful.

Ridge: Stop messing with it.

Thomas: Okay. All right. I’m leaving it alone. Can I help with anything?

Zende: Nah, don’t worry about it. I have it all under control.

Thomas: Okay.

Eric: You two have done some wonderful work here.

Ridge: I second that.

Zende: Wait until you see thomas’ show stopper.

Thomas: Yeah, I designed it specifically for hope, to bring out all the aspects of her that are so remarkable. I can’t wait to see her walk in it.

Carter: Very nice, very nice.

Steffy: Before it gets crazy here I just– I wanna thank you both for all the hard work you put in with the press and the buyers. There’s a lot of anticipation surrounding hope for the future, and it’s because of the way you pitched it.

Carter: Katie’s the right woman for the job. When she gets passionate about something it’s contagious.

Katie: Well, thank you. But it didn’t feel like work. I believe in hope and her line, and it just seems natural to support it.

Steffy: Well, I love that we’re all doing our best to come together. There’s a lot at stake today. Needs to be a win for hope.

Brooke: How many times are you gonna go over that speech?

Hope: Mom I just– I have a few more edits to make, but I just need everything to be flawless today because this is the biggest preview that hope for the future has ever had.

Brooke: I know. And it’s going to be a success. And you know how I know that? You excel at everything you do. I have complete confidence in you.

Liam: Same here.

Hope: Liam.

Liam: Big day. Huh? I am so proud of you and all you’ve accomplished. You got this.

Hope: You’re exactly what I need today. Right now.

[ Hope laughing ]

Justin: This is such an important day for hope and all of forrester. You know, the press can be savage.

Steffy: You’re telling me.

Justin: Yeah. You know, I still know some of these guys if you need me to put in a word. Maybe point out some of the dirt I still have on them.

Steffy: That’s tempting.

Justin: Uh-huh? But I think your esquire skills are better for business in the long run.

Justin: All right. Just thought I’d ask.

Steffy: Thank you.

Justin: All right. Hey.

Katie: Hey.

Steffy: Hey. Is everything covered on your end?

Katie: Yeah. I just wanna go over the seating chart with you, make sure you don’t wanna make any changes.

Steffy: I trust you as long as you know where everyone belongs.

Katie: All right.

Steffy: Okay.

Katie: Guess I’m good.

Carter: Yes, you are.

[ Katie chuckling ]

Charlie: Special delivery just for you.

Steffy: Hi.

Miranda: Hi. Good to see you.

Steffy: Good to see you.

Miranda: A lot of excitement around this preview.

Jackson: We haven’t heard from hope for the future for a while. I understand your brother thomas is hope’s lead designer?

Steffy: Uh, yes. And he’s done an incredible job.

Jackson: Personally, I thought hope for the future was fading into the sunset.

Steffy: Well, you are in for a huge surprise.

Miranda: I spoke with thomas recently. He seemed totally committed to hope and the line.

Steffy: I couldn’t agree more.

Thomas: Yeah, mom. No, I– I completely understand. Hey, you’re the keynote speaker. That’s incredible.

[ Thomas laughing ] Okay. You’re gonna kill it too. All right, talk to you soon. Okay. Bye.

Ridge: Hey.

Thomas: Okay. Just checking the makeup. Let me see this. Okay. Uh, what am I missing?

Eric: Nothing that I can see.

Zende: I think we’re all good here.

Ridge: You know, there’s a time in every show when you have to give things over to the fashion god. And I don’t mean your grandfather.

Thomas: No, I am– I am missing something. Wait, where’s hope?

Hope: I’m so happy to see you.

Liam: And I am so excited for you. I just, um, I just would– never mind. Doesn’t–

Brooke: I know what you’re thinking. It’s thomas.

Liam: Hm.

Brooke: Uh, honey, liam and I are extremely uncomfortable with the amount of time that you’re spending with him.

Hope: I know that.

Liam: You know already I– I– I don’t like what he’s done. I don’t trust him. And it just, at this point, it feels almost hypocritical to celebrate him.

Hope: Okay. Then you don’t have to. But you– you could be there to support me. And you will be there, right? (Vo) when you live with moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Katie: Well, I need to get back to the pre-show, but really thank you both so much for coming.

Sid: Happy to be here.

Del: Honestly, I was surprised we got the invite.

Katie: Are you kidding? Del and sid, two of the most esteemed fashion reporters in the country? Oh, please.

Del: I meant it. It kind of felt like hope for the future was a leftover fashion line.

Sid: What can we expect from today’s preview?

Katie: Today, hope for the future is retaking its place in the fashion world. But if there’s one thing that you can count on from forrester creations, is to expect the unexpected.

Sid: I’m looking forward to it.

Katie: Good. Thank you so much.

Both: Thank you.

Katie: Thank you.

Carter: You managed to get some of the most influential people in the business here. Nice job, katie.

Katie: Well, it wasn’t just me. Forrester name is like magic. You just have to know how to work it.

Carter: I think today’s gonna be a fantastic day for hope and hope for the future. I predict much celebrating to come.

Katie: Well, I just hope that you stick around for the celebration.

Carter: I wouldn’t miss it. In the meantime–

Katie: Oh, my god. Uh, what was that for?

Carter: Good luck.

Steffy: I just gave miranda and jackson a vip tour.

Katie: Oh, good. Good. Uh, gotta keep the buyers happy.

Steffy: Yeah. There’s a lot of effort gone into hope for the future. Now, it’s up to hope and thomas to pull it off.

Thomas: Okay. Can I have everybody’s attention? First, ladies, you are all incredible. You’re doing a fantastic job. I want you guys to give yourselves a hand.

[ Clapping ] And, uh, go out th and sell this line like you’ve never sold anything before. Okay? We need to blow their minds.

Eric: I don’t think they can miss.

Ridge: The designs are extraordinary, son.

Thomas: Well, that brings me to, uh, number two. Zende. Wow. Man, it has just been incredible to have you by my side and watch your talent just grow and grow and grow. It’s just a– it’s a sight to behold. Thanks, man.

Ridge: Well done, zende.

Eric: Nice.

Zende: Thank you.

Thomas: Let’s do this.

Zende: All right. Nice.

Thomas: And still no hope.

Charlie: Oh, uh, I just saw liam, uh, go in the office of the grand fromage. That’s big cheese en français. Um, I think she’s gonna get the ol’ pep talk, huh?

Thomas: Can’t believe liam decided to grace us with his presence.

Brooke: Well, you don’t need me here for this. So, break a leg, sweetheart.

Hope: Thank you, mom.

Liam: Bye, brooke. So, what do you say? I mean, you’ll be there, right?

Liam: You are such a visionary. And I truly believe that your line is about to become more successful than it ever has been.

Hope: Well, that’s what I want, obviously. But you never know.

Liam: I know. I know. And I’m so happy for all the success you’ve got coming your way. But yeah, you’re right. I– I absolutely had mixed feelings about coming here. I’m your husband. I love you. I wanna support you, not thomas.

Hope: So what are you saying?

Liam: You know– you know this. You– you know how I feel. You know that I don’t trust him. You know, that I– that I hate how much time he’s gotten you to spend with him. And the idea of applauding the two of you as a team, when I firmly believe that he’s abused his position, not only as head designer, but as douglas’ father to become a kind of surrogate husband to you.

Hope: Can we just not? Can we not argue about this right now? Just forget thomas. This is a really, really, really big day for me, and I just– please tell me that you’ll be there for me. I tried everything to remove fabric odors,

Liam: Okay. I mean, game it out for me. Walk me through it. How does this– how does today go?

Hope: What do you mean?

Liam: Well, after the models are finished walking the runway, what happens?

Hope: The usual. I– I go out on stage and I thank everyone.

Liam: Yeah. And then?

Hope: I call thomas out.

Liam: Right. And you two join hands and raise them in victory, right?

Hope: Yeah.

Liam: And everyone in the audience will applaud you and your brilliant lead designer as you two bask in the glow of success. And he’ll probably ask you to stay after, right? To celebrate just the two of you. And he’ll say things to you like, “this is our moment, hope. Yours and mine.” You know I’m right. I mean, do– do you understand what it is you’re asking me to enable?

Hope: I’m asking you to be there on the most critical day of my career.

Liam: And ignore thomas. Ignore him holding your hand. Ignore him gazing into your eyes and living out his fantasy. And I’m asking you, how am I supposed to do that knowing what he’s done to us?

Hope: Why are you making today all about thomas? You understand how important this day is to me. Why can’t you just be there to support me? You can go back to hating thomas tomorrow, but I need you in support of me today.

Douglas: Hey, mom. Aunt donna said you were in here.

Liam: Hey bud–

Hope: Hi.

Douglas: I’m so excited for you and dad.

Katie: Man, these moments before the show, the buzz in the air, the excitement. Feeling that anything can happen, good or bad. I love it. But it makes me nervous, especially today.

Brooke: Tell me about it.

Steffy: The good news, thomas and zende really brought it.

Carter: And the bad?

Steffy: You never know how the audience is gonna react. I love the direction my brother took hope for the future, but it’s not exactly what people have come to expect.

Carter: But isn’t that a good thing? Keep surprising them?

Steffy: Double edged sword. I guess we’ll find out.

Charlie: Almost showtime, boss lady. Good luck.

Steffy: Thanks, charlie.

Charlie: Sure.

Carter: Let’s get to it.

Steffy: All right.

Katie: How is hope?

Brooke: You think we’re nervous, you should see her. There’s a lot at stake for hope today.

Ridge: Hey.

Hope: Hi.

Ridge: Where were you? Everyone’s looking for you.

Hope: Um, I was just trying to talk liam into staying for the preview.

Eric: He’s not saying? Why not?

Hope: Uh, it’s a long story.

Thomas: Because of me. Look, hope, I know that you want liam to be here, but, um, right now we should just focus on the preview. Yeah?

Hope: Yeah, I agree with that 100%.

Eric: All right, let’s go.

[ Thomas laughing ]

Zende: Now or nt’doT. I’ll be right there. Hey. So this is it. This is what all the hard work’s been leading up to. And you seem nervous.

Hope: Uh. And you don’T.

Thomas: Not even a little. ‘Cause I know exactly what’s gonna happen. It’s going to be the most impeccable preview you’ve ever seen. And then in a few minutes, we will experience one of the greatest, most triumphant moments of our lives.

Hope: You seem pretty sure about that.

Thomas: I am. You’ll see.

Hope: All right. Uh, attention, please. Everyone, if I could have your attention, gather around. I just have one final message for everyone, which is to say thank you. Thank you for being a part of hope for the future. You were all amazing and dedicated and committed to this line. I– you never complained about the very long hours and you tolerated the crazy with a lot of good humor, and I appreciate that. But most importantly, the fact that you believe in this line and our message, it means the absolute world to me. So, thank you. I thank each and every one of you for being a part of this. So now, there’s just one thing left to do, which is to go out on that stage and absolutely crush it. So, go have fun everyone.

Thomas: Woo!

[ Clapping ]

[ Audience whispering ]

[ Audience clapping ]

Hope: Hello. Welcome. And thank you for coming. I am very excited to unveil hope for the future’s newest collection. We grow with the times, but what hasn’t changed are the guiding principles that have and always will define this line. Finding one’s strength, courage, empathy, and selflessness. Everyone here on my team, we believe in these core values of hope for the future. And we boldly believe that there is hope for the future. Enjoy the show.

[ Audience clapping ]

[ Cameras clicking ]

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Thomas: Hey, you should be getting dressed, ms. Show stopper.

Hope: No. I– I know. I just, um… I wanted to tell you something.

Thomas: Well, I’m all ears.

Hope: I believe in this line. I believe in its message. I believe in the team of people who help take this from a sketch on a pad of paper and– and help bring it to life. So, I guess what I’m trying to say is, um, I’m really grateful for you because I know I couldn’t have done this without you.

Thomas: It’s not me, it’s us. We can do anything together.

Hope: I agree. But thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thomas: Bring it in.

Paris: Don’t forget to breathe.

Hope: I know. It’s just really important to me. And the preview’s already tomorrow.

Paris: You got this. You are ready.

Petra: Paris is right. The entire hope for the future line is phenomenal. The showroom’s gonna go nuts.

Hope: Thank you. But I mean, I really couldn’t do it without my team. Petra, you look gorgeous. And paris all your help has been amazing. Not to mention thomas’s talent and support.

Steffy: Wait, wait, wait. You closed on all the renewals?

Justin: Was I not supposed to? You told me to get on it.

Steffy: I– I’m just really impressed. I thought you’d do this in like a– a month or so.

Justin: I aim to please.

Steffy: It’s always been your mo, hasn’t it?

Justin: I’m just trying to use my powers for good now.

Steffy: Well keep it up. We notice.

Justin: Thank you. Let you get back to it.

Steffy: Thank you.

Justin: All right. You’re welcome. Hey.

Thomas: Hey. Hope and i are on fire.

Steffy: Better be. Preview is right around the corner.

Thomas: It’s gonna be great. Hope for the future is at the top of its game.

Steffy: Thanks to you.

Thomas: It’s a joint effort, you know. Hope and i have been working very closely around the clock.

Steffy: How’s that going, by the way? Not easy, you know, dealing with hope.

Thomas: No. It’s good. I think we work really well together. You know, the same values and the same taste and you know, it shows in the designs.

Steffy: Yeah. Well, there’s a lot riding on hope for the future. Her line’s gonna be tested.

Thomas: Yeah. Well, you know what? Hope will meet the challenge and then so.

Steffy: Seems like you’re really committed to her and her success.

Thomas: I believe in hope.

Steffy: She obviously thinks you’re talented.

Thomas: Talented and hot.

Steffy: You’re joking, right? Hope thinks you’re hot?

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Okay.

Thomas: I’m not lying to you.

Steffy: So you’re telling me you hope just walked in on you in your underwear? You know, we have a– a locker room, by the way.

Thomas: You know what? Forget I said anything.

Steffy: Like I could ever.

Thomas: I’m serious, stef. We don’t need the whole office gossiping about hope saying that I’m hot. All right? And we won’t want anybody getting the wrong idea.

Steffy: Yeah, well, if finn can keep a secret, so can I.

Thomas: Great.

Finn: Hope thinks you’re hot, huh?

Steffy: I guess hope and paris walked in on my brother in his underwear.

Finn: Ah.

Steffy: Yeah. And I guess they agreed that he’s hot.

Thomas: Okay. Can we just drop it?

Steffy: Just be happy that finn walked in and not hope. I’m sure liam wouldn’t be too thrilled to hear about it.

Hope: Oh, hey, you.

Liam: Hey. Am I, uh, am I interrupting?

Hope: Uh, no. We’re just– we’re finalizing some looks for the preview.

Paris: Yeah. Your girl is gonna kill it, liam. You gotta be so proud of her.

Liam: Oh, always.

Paris: Okay. Well, we’ll let you guys have a minute.

Hope: Okay. But, uh, you’ll give alteration those notes by the end of the day.

Paris: Yeah, having it down there right now.

Petra: And I’ll be back in a bit with the next look.

Hope: Thank you so much ladies. Thank you.

Liam: Good meeting you.

Hope: Bye.

[ Hope squealing ] I’m so happy you’re here. I could use the break. Yes. The day has been really, really crazy.

Liam: Yeah. You’ve been, uh, you’ve been putting in the hours.

Hope: Mm-hmm. And it is exhausting yet exhilarating.

Liam: I am so proud of you. And all your hard work is so obviously paying off and I’m– I’m just– I wanna support you any way I can. I mean, if– if– if I’m being honest, um, this preview can’t be over soon enough just because of all the, you know, day in and day out. You’re with thomas. I feel like I’m on the outside looking in and, um, it’s– it’s not a great feeling.

Steffy: Are you sure it was hope who said you were hot? Not charlie?

Thomas: Ha! You’re very funny. Look, I– I’m– I’m flattered. It’s no secret what I think of hope.

Steffy: I know. I just don’t want you to get your hopes up.

Thomas: They’re not. My focus is on the line, hope for the future and being an amazing father to my son. That’s it.

Steffy: Good. That should be your top priority.

Thomas: Douglas would love nothing better though.

Finn: Than what?

Thomas: That’s just what he’s been saying lately. You know, he– he loves seeing how well hope and i have been getting along.

Steffy: Okay. Well, there’s a difference between getting along and getting obsessed. Just don’t lose perspective.

Thomas: Yeah.

Finn: I wouldn’t read too much into it.

Thomas: I’m not. Look, I– I– I think the whole thing is sweet, you know. And douglas, he was even saying how– how he wishes that– that hope and me could– could love each other. Kids, huh?

Steffy: There you go again.

Thomas: There you go what?

Steffy: That look.

Thomas: What look?

Steffy: I see that look. I know that look. It’s not a good look.

Thomas: Okay. Relax.

Steffy: I’m not gonna relax. You’ve worked so hard on yourself. I don’t want you to go backwards.

Thomas: I’m not.

Steffy: Be honest.

Thomas: I am!

Steffy: Thomas, do you really think hope’s gonna leave liam to be with you? She’s in a committed marriage.

Finn: And they have a kid together.

Thomas: Well, so do hope and I.

Steffy: Okay. You can’t entertain this. No. Do you have any idea what you’re doing?

Thomas: I’m not doing anything.

Steffy: Thomas, you are in a really good place right now. You have douglas full time. You can’t be obsessed with hope.

Thomas: I’m not obsessed with hope. Okay? And this isn’t about me going after her. She’s the one that said that I’m hot.

Hope: I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself.

Liam: Y– yeah, I know. Of course, you are. That’s not what I’m saying. I know you can take care of yourself.

Hope: Okay. So then there shouldn’t be anything that you’re anxious about when it comes to thomas.

Liam: Okay. But no– but that– see that– when you talk that way, that does worry me because we’ve always been anxious about thomas and for damn good reason. Namely all the terrible things he’s done, some of which have occurred in this very building. Do you remember the roof?

Hope: Oh my gosh.

Liam: With the helicopter when he literally tried to kidnap you and assaulted me?

Tell her how you’ve been

keeping our daughter from her.

Hope: Oh my god.

Liam: I mean, how many tears did we shed when he let us believe that our daughter was dead? This is that guy. It’s the same guy. And you keep saying it’s fine. It’s not fine.

Hope: Liam, people are capable of change.

Liam: And that’s what you said the last time. It turned out he didn’t change. Why are we debating this?

Hope: I don’t know, honestly. But please stop. I know what I’m doing.

Liam: Do you?

Hope: Yes.

Liam: Really? Because your mom sees it. I see it. I mean, like, I know how important it is to you for this preview to be successful. I want it to be successful, but hope, look at what it’s– look at what it’s already cost us. Right? Douglas hasn’t been home in forever. And my god, you’re about to spend the weekend with thomas and our two children. And I’m not invited.

Hope: Oh, I’m sorry because douglas wants to have his parents in the same room together every now and then.

Liam: No. No, that is not what this is. This is thomas using douglas to get closer to you, like he’s always done.

Hope: No, he’s not.

Liam: Yes! Yes, he is. And you just– I don’t know why, but you don’t wanna see it. But this is the same guy. He has not changed.

Hope: What do you want me to do? My preview is tomorrow and thomas is my lead designer. I can’t just switch him out like this.

Liam: Yeah, no, I know. Yeah. I don’t know what I– I don’t even know what I want you to do. I– I– you’re under a lot of pressure and I do get that. I do.

Hope: Do you? Do you really? Because I am so stressed right now that this is the last thing that I need.

Liam: Yeah, you’re right. I’m sorry. I just– I don’t want anything bad to happen. I don’t– I don’t want you to get hurt or worse.

Hope: Liam, listen to me, please. Hey, look at me. Look at me. I’m fine. I need you to trust me. Okay? Nothing bad is going to happen. It’s okay. It’s going to be okay.

Liam: Okay. All right. I’ll tell– uh, how– how about this– how about this? I can be– I really can be good with all of this. I can. If you– if you can just promise me one thing: That after this preview is over and you’ve succeeded phenomenally, you just– you– you just try– try to help me convince douglas to come home. Can you promise me that? (Birds chirping)

Finn: You and thomas are hilarious together. The way you two bicker.

Steffy: I know. I thought we would’ve grown out of it by now. Bet you, uh, are happy you don’t have an annoying little sister.

Finn: No, that wouldn’t be so bad. I kinda feel like I missed out on the whole sibling rivalry thing.

Steffy: I just worry about him. You know, I’m always looking out for him. I try not to be overbearing. But–

Finn: You say overbearing, I say caring.

Steffy: He’s been through a lot and I– I don’t want him to backslide.

Finn: You’re a good sister, steffy.

Steffy: I know I am. But I was really excited for him to leave so I could have some alone time with my hot, sexy husband.

Finn: It’s funny you say that because I was thinking the exact same thing.

Liam: I don’t know what I’m getting. Order whatever you want, by the way. It’s on me.

Bill: That’s still not gonna make up for you missing our meetings this morning.

Liam: I know.

Bill: What was so important that you missed work?

Liam: I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It– it was– I– I got caught up at forrester for one.

Bill: No. No, I’m sorry. That’s my bad. That’s right. It was the– the big fashion preview and being a supportive husband. Good for you.

Liam: Ha! I was trying to be the supportive husband. It’s the whole potential for disaster aspect it’s not sitting great with me.

Bill: Let me guess. What did that wacko thomas do now?

Liam: It’s– you know what? It’s not even something I can put my finger on. It’s just the same damn feeling over and over again at the pit of my stomach where I– I think he’s warming his way deeper and deeper into hope’s life and she doesn’t see it.

Hope: Everything looks great to me. And you’ll be sure to get it to the buyers before the showing?

Justin: Oh yes. It’s pretty boilerplate. I just wanted to update before it went out. Add a few protections for the line.

Hope: Thank you, justin.

Justin: Yes, indeed. I’ll email you once they’re all back inside.

Hope: Perfect.

Justin: Sounds good. All right.

Thomas: You know, I think I’m gonna snip this up a bit, hope if you’re okay with that. Obviously, you get the say.

Hope: Um, I mean, it’s– it’s beautiful, but I say yeah, go for it.

Thomas: Okay. Cool.

Petra: Thomas, you really are super talented.

Thomas: Thanks. But you make my job easy.

Petra: Well, I’m not sure if you have any plans after the preview, but I was thinking maybe we could grab a drink to celebrate?

[ Thomas chuckles softly]

Thomas: Um, you know, actually I– I’ve been so focused on the preview I haven’t as much time with my son as I’d wish, so I’ll probably be tucking him in, but I appreciate the offer.

Petra: No worries. It’s nice to know you’re not just a hot designer, but a– a great dad too.

Hope: Thank you, petra.

Petra: Thanks.

Thomas: Wow.

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: You know, I think we’ve made a lot of progress. Not only on the line, but also as parents.

Thomas: Yeah, me too.

Hope: And I just want you to know that I’ve seen all the progress that you’ve made in the past year, and it doesn’t go unnoticed. I really genuinely appreciate all of your support and enthusiasm and, uh, I don’t know you just– you’ve really grown, not only as an artist, but as a father.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Steffy: I love it when you visit me at work.

Finn: Well, I have the rest of the day off, I was hoping I could talk you into coming home with me.

Steffy: Ugh! I wish.

Finn: We could build a fire. I’ll cook you dinner. Rub your shoulder.

Steffy: Oh, you’re making it impossible for me to say no.

Finn: That’s the goal.

Steffy: As much as I’d love to come home with you, the preview is tomorrow for hope. And as co-ceo, I kinda have to stick around.

Finn: I figured. Just thought I’d give it a shot.

Steffy: Will you at least stay up for me? We can spend some time together.

Finn: Absolutely. I’ll make dinner and keep it warm for you.

Steffy: You really are from another planet.

Finn: Hopefully you won’t have to stay too late.

Steffy: I don’t think so. Hope and thomas seem to be on top of everything. And the way thomas is talking this shift in hope, now they’re getting along and the things hope is saying about thomas, I wonder if liam has any idea.

Bill: You see now you ruined my lunch, I can’t even eat. Well, what is hope thinking about spending an entire weekend with that psycho?

Liam: It’s douglas. It’s– it was douglas’ request. I mean, obviously, hope’s gonna stay in her own room like– like before, but this time it’s the whole weekend.

Bill: Nope! Uh-uh. You cannot let that happen.

Liam: Dad, what am i supposed to say? Douglas wants to spend more family time with his real parents.

Bill: Real– real parents? Douglas is a kid. Since when do kids call the shots? And as far as real parents is concerned, you were a dad to douglas while his father was kissing mannequins.

Liam: I know. I know. Honestly, the truth is, I’m not putting any of this on douglas. This is thomas. This is thomas pulling all the strings.

Bill: And hope is just– just okay letting this happen. She’s fine being a puppet.

Liam: Yeah. She doesn’t see a problem with it. And more than that, she’s just doing what a parent does, which is just all– all she cares about is her kid being happy.

Bill: But this is– this is beyond my, I want my kid happy. This isn’t that. Right? This one can go south. Get dicey real fast.

Liam: You think I don’t know that? I’ve been saying that. I just– no. You know what? If– if we just– if I get through the preview, hopefully, things will go back to normal.

Bill: Liam, there is nothing normal where thomas is concerned.

Thomas: I am totally committed to the line and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you, hope.

Hope: You think we’re ready?

Thomas: For the preview? Yeah.

Hope: Oh gosh, I’m nervous.

Thomas: Don’t be.

Hope: Really? I mean, you’re not even just like a little bit nervous?

Thomas: Well, I mean, yeah, I– I mean, I got the butterflies, but I’m just excited.

Hope: I– look, I know this isn’t my first preview, obviously. Uh, but it just-feels like it’s at such a pivotal moment of my career.

Thomas: We are all set. All right. Katie has invited the most influential people. The buzz is huge.

Hope: Well, we need rave reviews and people to feel inspired. Not to mention all the buyers need to place really big orders.

Thomas: Okay, I understand. I– I know the feeling of being all stressed out, but we’ve got nothing to stress out about. All right? It’s not– not just my confidence in– in my designs, it’s in your vision. This vision that you brought to life. And that vision follows a beautiful, wonderful woman. This woman that’s right in front of me. And I can see that so clearly.

[ Audience clapping ] You out there on the runway, me watching proudly. The show will be flawless. The audience will be blown away. Jaws will drop. Applause will fill the air. It will be one of the greatest moments of our lives.

Hope: I really hope you’re right.

Thomas: I know I’m right. They’ll love you, hope. How can they not? Hey, tomorrow, hope. Tomorrow.

Deacon: What the f–

Sheila: Happy halloween, mr. Sharpe. It’s time for your physical. Nurse sheila carter reporting for duty.

[ Heart beating ]

Sheila: Oh. Seems to be elevating.

Deacon: Huh?

Sheila: Your heart.

Deacon: Cute. What exactly are you doing?

Sheila: Oh. Enjoying my favorite holiday of the year.

Deacon: Well, no surprise there.

Sheila: Oh, come on. What’s the big deal?

Deacon: Well, every day that you’re here, I am harboring a fugitive.

Sheila: Harboring a fugitive?

Deacon: Mm-hmm.

Sheila: Didn’t you hear? I’m supposed to be dead.

Deacon: Oh.

Sheila: At least for now.

Deacon: Hmm.

Sheila: I’ll tell you. I can’t wait to get out there and celebrate with my family. I think it’s gonna have to wait until next year.

Deacon: Wait, wait a second. What do you mean next year? Sheila, you got a one-way trip back to prison if you’re even seen resurfacing.

Sheila: Oh come on, deacon. Don’t underestimate me. I am like a cat. I’ve got nine lives.

Deacon: Don’t you mean nine toes?

Sheila: Okay. So my back might be against the wall right now, but history has proven itself time and time again and I always find a way out. You just watch me.

Eric: All right. Uh, I’ll have carter send this to your legal over at fenmore’s and, uh, that’ll be it. We’re all done. That’s it.

Lauren: That’s it.?

Eric: Yes.

Lauren: I wish all my meetings went this smoothly.

Eric: When lauren fenmore is only here for a quick layover from genoa city, we get it done.

[ Lauren laughing ] This is a wonderful order. Thank you.

Lauren: Oh, it is my pleasure. This new hope for the future line, I mean, it is phenomenal. I have no doubt that it is gonna sell out at fenmore’s and then I’ll be back for some more.

Eric: It’s, uh, it’s halloween. Would you share a halloween cocktail with me before you get back to genoa city?

Lauren: Are you kidding? You read my mind.

Eric: Yes? Good. What do you think we should drink to?

Lauren: Oh, I think we should drink to the fact that halloween is gonna be a lot less spooky now that that witch sheila carter is dead.

[ Door banging ]

[ Doorbell ringing ]

Kids: Trick or treat!

Deacon: All right, look at you guys. Hey, let’s get you some candy here. Huh? This and take this.

Uncle: You guys you gotta show him your moves.

Deacon: Oh, yeah. Let me see. Let’s see. What do you got?

Parent: Show him your moves.

[ Kids yelling ]

Deacon: You’re karate’s awesome. You got a pretty cool uncle too.

Kid: Thank you.

Uncle: Well, we didn’t want you to miss out on all the trick or treating fun.

Deacon: Thanks, buddy. Happy halloween.

Kids: Happy halloween.

Uncle: See you, partner.

Sheila: See? Aren’t you glad I bought candy? They were adorable. I can’t wait to be on the other side of that door.

Deacon: The only other side you’re gonna be seeing is the other side of a prison cell.

Sheila: Oh, you know what? You seem to be forgetting how creative I can be.

Deacon: Uh, kidnapping, identity theft, attempted murder. No. I think I have a pretty good idea.

Sheila: All things that I never set out to do. I– I was just trying to– to make it, all right? My life in genoa city was perfect until lauren fenmore decided to target me, and that’s when everything got screwed up.

Lauren: You keep this up

and you’ll lose big.

Sheila: Are you

threatening me?

Lauren: You’re damn right

I’m threatening you.

You don’t know the meaning

of trouble. You mess with me

and you’re gonna find out.

So why don’t you just stay

away from my husband?

Sheila: ‘Cause I’m really–

Lauren: I’m a very

powerful woman,

and I wouldn’t forget that

if I were you. Now, this

will be your only warning.

You keep your claws away

from my husband or you’re

gonna have to answer to me.

And believe me,

you don’t wanna do that.

Molly: She– sheila, no!

She– she– sheila! Sheila!

Sheila: You deserve–

would you just–

[ Lantern shattering ]

Deacon: Thank god they got out of there okay.

Sheila: But you know what? What about me? She’s the one that started the fire.

Deacon: Sheila, I think it would take a lot more than an inferno to take you down.

Sheila: Okay. Well, the moral is, I– I left genoa city and I started new.

Deacon: You didn’t have a lot of options.

Sheila: We all have options. I answered an ad for a– a corporate nurse at forrester creations, and it turned into so much more.

Eric: I know it sounds

like we’re looking for

a babysitter, but the fact

is, we wouldn’t consider

anyone with credentials

less than yours. The fact is

his current nanny is

a registered nurse as well.

Are you comfortable

with children?

Sheila: Oh, yes. Yes.

I– I love children.

Eric: Well, if you are,

uh, available for a couple

of hours, uh, it wouldn’t be

much longer than that.

Sheila: No, that’s fine,

then. I’d love to watch

your child, mr. Forrester.

And I promise you, he’ll be

in very good hands.

Eric: Thank you, sheila.

Sheila: He wants me.

He really wants me.

[ Sighing ]

Watch out, brooke,

watch out.

[ Record scratching ]

Deacon: And everyone lived happily ever after, not.

Sheila: Okay. Well, the point is, I came here with nothing and I remade myself. I started a whole new glorious chapter, and I will do that again. You just mark my words. You watch me.

Find nutrients.

Find energy.

Eric: You tried to warn me time after time about sheila carter and to no avail. I ended up somehow married to her.

Lauren: Mm. I mean, I’m not normally a person for “I told you so”s, but–

Eric: As accurate as it would be, I had no idea when I hired nurse sheila, how that decision would affect our families.

Lauren: Well, to be fair, I’m sure she left off kidnapping and leaving people to die in a fire from her resume.

Eric: Yeah.

Lauren: And that was before she got to los angeles. What she did to you and stephanie.

Eric: The havoc that she caused to so many people, to anybody in her way.

Lauren: Oh my god. The battles we had.

Sheila: You can’t hurt me.

You’re no ridge.

Not with men and not with

children. Your own son even

thinks I’m his mother.

Lauren: Oh, you bitch!

[ Both grunting ]

[ Glass breaking ]

Lauren: You wouldn’t dare.

Deacon: You really get into this stuff, don’t you?

Sheila: It’s the most wonderful night of the year. Speaking of which, you know, you’re so into those toe jokes I had some chocolate once made. They’re right there. Help yourself.

Deacon: Yeah. Uh, mm, I think I’m gonna pass. Well, I gotta say this for you, you definitely know how to make the most of a situation.

Sheila: You see, you’re catching on. I really feel like I can wiggle myself out of this– this situation the same way I did when I left your girlfriend nikki’s hometown.

Deacon: Uh, she was my ex-wife. And you fled.

Sheila: I left and i started a new chapter in my life that was incredible becoming mrs. Eric forrester. You know, stephanie, she just– she fought me at every turn.

Stephanie: Until you are

mrs. Forrester, you are not

mrs. Forrester, and you’re

gonna be treated as any

other salaried employee

in this company. Secondly,

I own half of this company.

You know, it surprises me

someone as smart as you

is constantly

forgetting that.

Sheila: Well, I fail

to see the relevance as

to who owns the company.

Stephanie: Oh, I suppose

it’s just a bread and butter

issue. I’m the butter

on your bread.

Sheila: But eric is the

bread, and I prefer mine

without butter.

Would you let eric and me live

our lives?

Stephanie: Not as

a husband and wife. No. No.

Never. I am never gonna let

that happen. This wedding is

history. And you are finished

with eric. Do you understand?

Finished.

Sheila: But I survived. I survived every vicious attack against me and– and my character. I may not be mrs. Eric forrester anymore, but you know what? I won. I came out on top because I’m still here. I wanna thank you my precious deacon for letting me be here. But it’s not gonna be for much longer. Soon, I’m going to be as free as a bird. You’ll see.

From the #1 fiber brand comes

metamucil gummies.

Lauren: What you and stephanie went through.

Eric: Yeah. You didn’t have it any easier.

Lauren: Oh, no. You and i were both on the receiving end of sheila’s wrath quite a few times.

[ Water splashing ]

Sheila: Die!

No, it is going

to end right here, right now.

And it’s going to start with

you, stephanie. I– I was the victim here. I never meant to do any harm to anyone. I– I just was on my own so much that I– I just– I did some things that I wasn’t very proud of.

I am through playing games

with you, stephanie. Do you

understand me? If you don’t

stop interfering,

you’re going to regret it.

You’re not going anywhere.

[ Stephanie grunting ]

Make sure you stay away

from me. Do you understand?

[ Both screaming ]

You tell any anyone one word

about what happened

last night and I swear

I will pay a little visit

to your precious grandson.

Stephanie: No, you won’T.

Sheila: Oh, yes. Yes.

Stephanie, I will.

Stephanie: You stay away

from that baby.

Sheila: Then you stay

away from my husband.

You make one more move

on him, stephanie, and thomas

won’t live to see his first

birthday. And I swear to god,

I’ll do it. You wanna play

ugly? I wrote the book on it.

And if there’s one thing

you know, stephanie dear,

I make good on my threats. I never meant to hurt anyone. I just wanted to be loved.

Deacon: Sheila, I think that desire to be loved got you in a lot of trouble.

Sheila: Yeah. But I persevered.

Deacon: Yeah. All the way back to this palace. Right? Taking you in as my roommate is gonna go down as one of the dumbest decisions I’ve ever made. But then again, I didn’t really have much of a choice. Now, did I?

Sheila: Yeah. Well, you can relax my precious, because you know what? This is not forever. This is not the end of the road.

Deacon: Sheila, admit it. You’re screwed.

Sheila: Oh my god. Do you know how many times I’ve had somebody tell me that? No. Even lauren and– and stephanie, they tried their hardest and I was damned well determined to not let those bitches take me down. And they didn’T. The best years of my life are yet to come. All right. Mr. Jack-o-lantern.

[ Sheila laughing ] Pretty scary, huh?

Deacon: Oh, yeah. Yeah. You sure as hell are.

[ Sheila laughing ] I’m getting vaccinated with prevnar 20.

Eric: Lauren, this has been wonderful.

Lauren: Yes. And thankfully, no more nasty tricks as far as sheila’s concerned.

Eric: No, no. I think that we can all rest assured, she’s had her final curtain call met with a grizzly end.

Lauren: Oh, dear. Yes.

Eric: We can all rest assured that she’s not gonna be coming around anymore.

Lauren: No.

Eric: Safe trip.

Lauren: Okay. Thank you.

Deacon: Well, I am curious how you envision this resurrection happening.

Sheila: I’m– I’m working on it.

Deacon: Sheila, we both know what happens if you leave this apartment and I’m not baking you a cake with a file in it.

Sheila: I’m going to get forgiveness.

Deacon: From who? From finn? From steffy? From the forrester’s or the logan’s? Are you forgetting what led you to faking your own death?

Sheila: It’s not like I set out to do any of this. If steffy would’ve just given me a chance. You know, let– let me get to know my son and my grandson instead of fighting me at every turn.

Finn: All my life,

I’ve wondered about meeting

you. I needed you today.

Steffy: I– I don’t wanna

hear it anymore. You’re

never gonna be welcome in

my family. So, you might as

well make your way back

to genoa city.

Sheila: You have no idea

the friend that I’ve already

been to you and your mother.

Steffy: You’re never gonna

be a friend, sheila. If you

wanna do something, you can

stay away from me, finn,

thomas, my son, my mother.

Just stay the hell away.

Being loved by you is

a curse. You will never be

part of our lives.

You hear me?

[ Gunshot ]

Finn: Oh!

[ Thud ]

Sheila: No!

Deacon: Sheila, no one can survive this. You’re guilty of a double shooting, of attempted murder, of escaping prison, which by the way, was very cool among other things. But if the forresters find out that you’re alive and they will find out, you’re gonna go to prison for the rest of your life.

Sheila: Oh deacon, deacon, deacon. You haven’t been listening. I’m a survivor. Yes, I’ve had ups and downs and there have been misunderstandings, but I– I– I truly believe people get what they deserve. I deserve another chance. The best is yet to come, so just stay tuned. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You have not seen the last of sheila carter. Not by a long shot. Happy halloween.

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

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

Steffy: Rubbing what in?

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

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

Brooke: For the moment.

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

Brooke: Oh, you’re dismissing me?

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

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

Thomas: That you think I’m hot.

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

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

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

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

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

Thomas: Hope wait, before you go back there.

Hope: Is that it over here?

[ Hope gasping ]

Douglas: Checkmate!

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

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

Liam: Clearly.

Eric: You’re really good at this.

Douglas: Should I tell him?

Donna: Oh, okay.

Eric: Tell me what?

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

Eric: What? Donna? You play chess?

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

Eric: I never would have guessed.

Douglas: Donna is a lot of fun.

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

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

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

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

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

Brooke: Hope says what she feels.

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

Brooke: Wasn’t it?

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

Brooke: Where’s hope right now?

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

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

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

Thomas: Someone downstairs brought it up.

Hope: Why?

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

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

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

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

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

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

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

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

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

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

Douglas: You want me to–

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

Douglas: Do I have to leave?

Eric: No, of course not.

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

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

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

Donna: That’s a great idea. Okay.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Thomas laughing ]

Brooke: Am I interrupting?

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

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

Thomas: Okay.

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

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

Douglas: Yeah.

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

Douglas: We were.

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

Douglas: I do, but…

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

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

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

Steffy: What did brooke want?

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

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

Thomas: When?

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

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

Brooke: Are you really encouraging thomas?

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

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

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

Brooke: So, you have complete faith in thomas?

Hope: Yes.

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

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

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

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

Brooke: Well, it certainly seemed like something.

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

Brooke: And you feel the same way?

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

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

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

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

If you have type 2 diabetes

or high blood pressure…

Hope: I don’t wanna argue about this.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brooke: God.

Hope: Love you!

[ Brooke sighing ]

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

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

Steffy: Relationship?

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

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

Thomas: Ha!

Steffy: Hope! We were just talking about you.

Hope: Oh?

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

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

Thomas: Sure.

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

[ Thomas sighing ]

Hope: So, steffy knows?

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

Hope: Oh, gee, thanks.

Thomas: You’re welcome.

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

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

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

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

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

[ Ringing continues ]

Hope: Okay, sure. Why not?

Thomas: Okay, cool.

[ Ringing continues ]

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

Hope: It’s breathtaking.

Thomas: You’re breathtaking.

Hope: Here, come here.

Thomas: Yeah.

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

Thomas: It was just

a fantasy. Stop.

Hope: Are you okay?

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

Hope: Whoa, okay!

Paris: Hello!

Thomas: I thought I locked that!

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

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

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

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

Paris: Yeah.

Hope: Yeah. All right.

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

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

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

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

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

Brooke: Yeah.

Brooke: Here you go!

Liam: Oh, thank you!

Brooke: Yeah!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thomas: Couldn’t stay away, could you?

Steffy: Oh.

Thomas: Oh, hey, sis.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Paris: Thomas is one sexy man!

Hope: You can say that.

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

Hope: No need for morning coffee, right?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hope: Work.

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

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

Steffy: It’s insanely romantic.

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

[Audio rewinding]

Brooke’s voice: I’d like to

report a child in danger.

Cps agent: And your name,

ma’am?

Thomas: Brooke logan.

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

Thomas: Yeah. So many twists of fate.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thomas: Hey! I thought hope was in here.

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

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

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

Thomas: You trying to make me blush?

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

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

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

Thomas: A couple?

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

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

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

Thomas: Hope really said that?

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

Hope: More than I’ve ever been before.

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

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

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

Hope: Yes, I do.

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

Hope: I love that idea.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hope: I just– I appreciate his support.

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

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

Paris: Okay, I will see you later!

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

Paris: Did I say something about hope?

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

Paris: Would I do that?

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

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

Thomas: I’ll try.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hope: Hey, thomas!

Thomas: Hope!

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

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

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

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

Hope: Wow!

Thomas: What do you think?

Hope: It’s different.

Thomas: Yeah?

Hope: Yeah, is this for the showstopper?

Thomas: Maybe. So, what are your thoughts?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hope: Me?

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

Hope: What do you mean?

Thomas: Do you ever think about my body?

Hope: No. Of course not.

Thomas: That’s not what I heard.

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

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

Hope: It’s not what you think.

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

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

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

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: Filled with all these memories.

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

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

[ Taylor laughs]

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

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

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

Liam: What was that about?

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

Liam: What the hell?

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

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

Bill: Absolutely.

[ Taylor sighs ]

Taylor: You’re speechless.

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

[ Taylor laughing ]

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

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

Taylor: So, yeah? Yeah?

Ridge: Yeah.

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

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

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

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

Bill: Deacon?

Liam: Yeah.

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

[ Brooke laughs ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ridge: I like this.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: An old place for a new start.

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

[ Both laugh ]

Ridge: Huh.

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

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

Liam: Yes, for this tofu–

Bill: And most evenings as well.

Liam: Most, no, but a good chunk–

Bill: And sometimes spends the night–

Liam: With beth, yes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Liam: Hey, dad.

Bill: Yeah.

Liam: Just… be careful. She’s hurt.

Bill: I know.

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

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

Brooke: It was really, very sweet, really.

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

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

If you have this…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Door opens ]

Liam: Hey! You’re home.

Hope: Uh…

Liam: And you have company.

Deacon: Hey, liam.

Liam: Hey deacon, how’s it goin’?

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

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

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

Liam: Why did you come home, is there–

Deacon: It’s okay, you can tell him.

Liam: Okay… tell me what, guys?

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

Liam: All right.

Hope: Marriage. He proposed.

Liam: Huh.

[ Knocking ]

Brooke: Hi, bill.

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

Brooke: Yeah, I remember.

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

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

Bill: Brooke–

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

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

Ridge: I love this.

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

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

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

Ridge: Yeah.

[ Ridge clears throat ]

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

Deacon: She said no.

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

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

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

Liam: Yeah, except maybe my dad.

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

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

Brooke: I do want that.

Bill: The way that he treats you…

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

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

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

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

[ Brooke sighs ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Brooke: Ridge.

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

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

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

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

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

Steffy: Yeah.

Taylor: We trust him, remember?

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

[ Bill chuckles ] Thank you.

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

Bill: Until he doesn’T.

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

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

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

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

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

Bill: I’m gonna step in.

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

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

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

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

Bill: Another loser unworthy of her.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Taylor: Yeah, she must be devastated.

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

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

Both: Because of her.

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

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

Taylor: Oh, my god. That was brilliant.

[ Both laughing ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bill: It’s what I do.

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

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

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

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

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

Hope: Well, it’s hard not to be.

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

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

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

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

Deacon: Are there any new developments on that front?

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

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

Hope: Dad.

Deacon: Oh, hey, okay.

Hope: Let’s drop it.

Deacon: Pinning it.

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

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

Steffy: Was that dad?

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

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

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

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

Taylor: I did? Really? I–

Steffy: Yeah. You, uh, you– you did.

Taylor: Hm. I didn’t realize that.

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

Taylor: Me?

Steffy: What is going on with you?

Steffy: Are you okay?

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

Steffy: You did a thing?

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

Brooke’s voice: I’d like

to report a child in danger.

His father, thomas forester,

is unstable.

He has a knife.

Brooke: I know you, ridge.

I know there’s something

that you’re not saying.

And I wish you would just…

just say it. Just–

Ridge: Why– why are you

doing this?

Why are you– why are you

pretending that you don’t know

what this is?

Brooke: I don’T.

Ridge: Can you just

be honest and– and say it?

I just need

to hear you say it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bill: A change for the better.

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

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

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

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

Deacon: Me?

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

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

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

Deacon: Because ridge banned me from the premises.

Hope: Mm-hm.

Deacon: What?

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

Steffy: A surprise.

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: For dad?

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

Steffy: Mom, what did you do?

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

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

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

Steffy: Okay. Can I guess?

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

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

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

Steffy: It’s a good idea.

Taylor: It’s a really good idea.

Steffy: What else could it be, then?

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

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

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

Taylor: Do you have a blindfold?

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

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

Brooke: Some paperwork?

Ridge: For the annulment.

Brooke: Annulment?

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

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

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

Ridge: Can you just– can–

Ridge: Carter is gonna be in touch.

Ridge: I’ll always love you.

[ Brooke sighs ] Ridge. Wait. Please.

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

Taylor: Can you see?

Ridge: Uh, no.

Taylor: No? No, okay, step down

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

Ridge: So, that’s why I can’t see.

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

Ridge: Okay.

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

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

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

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

Ridge: Roll with it?

Taylor: Roll…

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

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

Ridge: Oh, god.

[ Both chuckle ]

Taylor: Okay, take it off. Your blindfold.

[ Laughing ]

Ridge: Oh, okay. Good start.

Ridge: The beach house.

Taylor: Mm-hm. Yup.

Ridge: What are we doing here?

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

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

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

Taylor: Ooh, it’s his old house.

[ Keys jingling ]

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

Ridge: Did you buy this place?

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

Taylor: Welcome home, ridge.

[ Door opening ]

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

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

Deacon: I’m sorry, brooke.

Hope: Are– are you okay?

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

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

Brooke: How could you say that?

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

[ Brooke clears throat ]

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

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

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

Thomas: Steffy? I’m here.

Steffy: O– okay. Hi.

Thomas: Hi.

Steffy: Is everything okay?

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

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

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

Steffy: Uh-huh?

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

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

Brooke: He’ll be landing anytime.

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

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

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

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

Katie: Don’t push it.

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

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

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

Katie: Did justin barber just talk about positive energy?

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

Katie: Yeah, of course.

Justin: All right.

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

Justin: Thank you.

Katie: There are plenty

of people around here who think

that you’re amazing, carter.

Carter: Like who?

Carter: What are you plotting in here?

[ Giggling ]

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

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

[ Giggling ]

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

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

Carter: Is that so?

Katie: You haven’t been thinking about me?

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

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

Carter: How is she?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Car door thudding ]

Thomas: Car door. They’re here.

Steffy: Can you not on my coffee table?

Thomas: They’ll never– shh.

Steffy: What are you doing?

Thomas: They’ll never know.

Taylor: Hello!

Ridge: Hey, hey.

Steffy: Hey.

Thomas: Hey, you’re– you’re back.

Taylor: And– and back together?

Thomas: I know. Hah!

Steffy: What!

[ Laughing ]

[ Incoherent chatter ]

Thomas: Mom!

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

[ Laughing ]

Thomas: I almost don’t believe it.

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

Steffy: Forresters. The way we always wanted.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Oh, this is amazing.

[ Thomas chuckling ]

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

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

Justin & carter: All in a day’s work.

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

Justin: Please, never.

Katie: All right, here you go.

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

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

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

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

Carter: And maybe I can help.

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

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

[ Laughing ]

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

[ Laughing ]

Katie: I find that hard to believe.

Carter: It’s true.

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

Carter: You were with bill.

Katie: Not anymore.

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

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

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

Hope: You need me. I’m here.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Forresters laughing ]

Steffy: Here you go. That’s for mom.

Taylor: Thank you.

Steffy: Love birds.

Ridge: Thank you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Ridge gasping ]

[ Laughing]

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

Music (“I swear”) plays

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

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

Carter: No argument here.

Katie: I do have one more question, though.

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

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

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

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

Carter: Mm.

Katie: Which is why I’m curious.

Carter: About me and quinn?

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

Carter: Thanks?

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

Carter: And that idea intrigues you?

Katie: It does. Was the chemistry that hot?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Steffy: Excuse me?

Taylor: Steffy has good stories.

Steffy: Yes, I do.

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

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

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

Ridge: Hey!

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

Ridge: And she didn’t believe me.

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

Ridge: Eh.

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

Ridge: And from me.

Taylor: Yes.

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

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

Taylor: Then stop chasing me.

Ridge: But I’m not that man anymore.

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

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

Ridge: I want to be a better man.

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

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

Taylor: What the hell took you so long?

[ Chuckling ] Cps agent: Child protective services.

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

[ Cell phone beeping ] Brooke logan. Please hurry.

[ Cell phone beeping ]

Brooke: Brooke logan. Please hurry.

[ Taylor & ridge laughing ]

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

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

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

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

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

Brooke: Say what?

Thomas: Brooke didn’t say anything?

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

[ Laughing ]

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

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

Katie: It’s a serious question. What?

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

Katie: Is that really what you’re thinking?

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

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

Katie: Okay.

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

Carter: Beautiful. How sexy.

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

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

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

Steffy: That’s great.

Taylor: And it was beautiful, too.

[ Taylor laughing ]

[ Chatter ]

Steffy: Are we leaving you out?

Ridge: What?

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

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

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

Ridge: Hm.

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

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

Thomas: Another miracle for our family indeed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Door opens ]

Brooke: Ridge?

Liam: No, sorry.

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

Liam: It could still happen.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sheila: But he’s not.

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

Deacon: Watch it.

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

[ Thud ]

Katie: Have you recovered yet?

Carter: From humiliating myself, you mean?

Katie: You didn’t humiliate yourself.

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

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

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

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

Carter: Is that why you kissed me?

Katie: As I recall, you kissed me back.

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

[ Knocking ]

Shauna: Oh, am I interrupting?

Katie: You called shauna for answers?

Shauna: Hi, katie.

Katie: Hey.

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

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

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

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

Deacon: Arrogance and delusional.

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

Deacon: Oh, dollar bill spencer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hope: She’s devastated, steffy.

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

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

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

Laundry truths: The bargain

jug.

[ Carter sighing ]

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

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

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

Katie: Yeah, but is that really true?

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

Carter: She did? What else did she say?

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

Carter: So I’m not crazy.

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

Carter: Still don’t get it.

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

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

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

Sheila: For someone who hates my guts?

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

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

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

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

[ Brooke chuckling ]

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

Liam: Yeah.

Brooke: You and hope are wonderful.

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

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

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

Hope: Do you really despise my mother that much?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Sheila laughing ] Of brooke? Are you serious?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Hope laughing ]

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

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

Music (“I swear”) plays

[ Door closes ]

Carter: Do you think shauna picked up on something?

Katie: How you really feel about quinn?

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

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

Sheila: Oh… oh, someone like you?

Deacon: Yeah, someone like me. Yeah.

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

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

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

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

[ Deacon sighing ]

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

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

Liam: Say what?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Steffy: Just in the nick of time.

Thomas: Thank you.

Assistant: You’re welcome.

Steffy: Thank you.

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

Steffy: Yeah?

Thomas: Yeah. I think we’re ready.

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

Paris: Yeah. Traffic was pretty bad.

Carter: Yeah. What else is new?

Thomas: He’s in aspen with our mother.

Steffy: Our parents are back together.

Katie: What?

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

Hope: I– I wish I could help somehow.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sheila: Oh.

Deacon: Yeah.

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

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

Sheila: Mm-hmm.

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

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: Good.

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

Deacon: I am serious, sheila.

Sheila: Okay. I will abide by your rules.

Deacon: You will?

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: Okay.

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

Deacon: Hmm. Daddy like.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Eric: Just since yesterday, katie.

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

Paris: This is crazy.

Carter: Ridge really ended it with brooke?

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

Thomas: Yep.

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

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

Deacon: Oh, really? Enlighten me.

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

Deacon: You noticed.

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

[ Loud banging on the door ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hope: So has ridge officially asked for a divorce?

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

Hope: You think.

Brooke: I’m assuming. Sorry.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Katie: This doesn’t make any sense.

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

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

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

Carter: How do you know?

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

Paris: Quinn is leaving the company?

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

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

[ Loud banging on the door ]

Bill: Come on, sharpe, open up.

[ Loud banging on the door ] Now.

[ Loud banging on the door ]

Deacon: To what do I owe this displeasure?

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

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

Bill: Am I keeping you from something?

Deacon: Why are you here?

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

Deacon: No more what?

Bill: No longer a couple.

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

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

Deacon: And you’re here for what reason?

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

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

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

Eric: Yes, of course, she did.

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

Eric: That’s all.

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

Eric: No, not a word.

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

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

Thomas: I’m really sorry, man.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brooke: Oh, honey. Thank you. I just–

Deacon: So brooke and ridge are over.

Bill: Hmm. That really surprises you.

Deacon: Doesn’t surprise you?

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

Deacon: Your turf? That’s interesting.

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

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

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

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

Bill: Brooke doesn’t want you, deacon.

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

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

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

Bill: And it will lead her straight to me.

Deacon: Hmm.

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

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

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

Deacon: This guy, man. I’ll tell you.

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

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

Sheila: Did I hear right? Ridge left brooke?

Brooke: Why? Why ridge? Why?

Operator: Child protective

services.

Brooke: Hello?

I’d like to report a child

in danger.

Operator: And your name,

ma’am?

Thomas: Brooke logan.

Please hurry.

[ Audio rewinding ]

Brooke’s voice: Brooke logan

please hurry.

[ Loud bang ]

Steffy: I’m guessing you heard the news.

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

Steffy: What are you implying?

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

Steffy: Operate? What exactly did we do?

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

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

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

Steffy: Okay.

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

[ Upbeat acoustic music ]

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

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

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

Steffy: Hey.

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

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

Thomas: I know.

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

[ Thomas laughs ]

[ Hope sighs ]

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

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

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

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

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

Hope: Yeah.

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

Hope: Let’s go check on my mom.

[ Pouring drink ]

[ Brooke sobbing ]

Liam: No.

Brooke: Liam, I need to

numb the pain, please.

Liam: This is more pain.

Brooke: What happened to us?

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

Carter: Your cell.

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

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

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

Carter: Oh.

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

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

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

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

Katie: Um, you wanna talk?

Carter: If you have time.

Katie: For the coo, I’ll make time.

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

Katie: Okay. Sure. Has quinn reached out?

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

Katie: I’m sorry.

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

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

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

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

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

[ Katie chuckles ]

Steffy: Is the show ready?

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

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

Thomas: Really cute. Really cute.

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

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

Steffy: Oh okay. Good luck with that.

Thomas: Okay. So, tell me everything.

Steffy: Everything?

Thomas: Yes.

Steffy: What do you mean everything?

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

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

[ Thomas sighs ]

Hope: Mom? Oh, mom.

Brooke: Oh, honey.

Hope: Hi.

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

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

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

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

Carter: That was a friendly kiss?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Katie: See?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Phone rings ]

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

Brooke: Get that sweetie. It might be important.

Hope: Hello? Hi. Yeah.

Liam: So, how are you doing?

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

Liam: No, no, I didn’t say anything.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Carter: And are you one of those women?

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

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

Thomas: Definitely.

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

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

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

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

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

Hope: It’s fine. I completely understand.

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

Liam: I won’T.

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

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

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

Liam: Yeah?

Hope: Yeah. What’s going on?

Brooke: Uh, everything’s fine, sweetheart.

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

Carter: Hmm. Catch and release.

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

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

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

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

Katie: Really?

Carter: Yes.

Katie: Thank you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hope: But you didn’T.

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

Hope: Mom.

[ Brooke crying ]

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

Operator: And your name, ma’am?

Thomas: Brooke logan. Please hurry.

[ Audio rewinds ]

Brooke’s voice: Brooke logan please, hurry.

[ Brooke crying ]

Brooke: Okay.

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

Carter: That was a friendly kiss?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Katie: See?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Phone rings ]

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

Brooke: Get that sweetie. It might be important.

Hope: Hello? Hi. Yeah.

Liam: So, how are you doing?

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

Liam: No, no, I didn’t say anything.

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

a severe allergic reaction

to its components,

including egg products,

or after previous dose

of flu vaccine.

Don’t get

flublok quadrivalent

allergic reaction

to its components.

Tell your healthcare

professional

if you’ve had severe muscle

weakness after a flu shot.

People with weakened

may have a lower

vaccine response.

This flu season,

you do have a choice.

Choose the protection

Ask your doctor or pharmacist

which sanofi flu vaccine

is right for you.

Music (“I swear”) plays jaycee tried gain flings for the first time the other day… and forgot where she was.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Carter: And are you one of those women?

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

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

Thomas: Definitely.

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

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

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

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

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

Hope: It’s fine. I completely understand.

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

Liam: I won’T.

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

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

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

Liam: Yeah?

Hope: Yeah. What’s going on?

Brooke: Uh, everything’s fine, sweetheart.

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

Carter: You’re good

Katie: At what?

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

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

Carter: Hmm. Catch and release.

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

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

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

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

Katie: Really?

Carter: Yes.

Katie: Thank you.

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

Steffy: Here’s the thing, it’s probably a cry fest over at brooke’s house. And honestly, part of me does feel bad for her. She has to face that dad chose mom, but she’s gonna get over it. Mom and dad, they’re gonna get married the way it should have been all along. Dad’s done with all the misunderstandings and misbehavior. They’re back together. Today is the day. It’s here. Our parents are back together, thomas. So exciting.

Hope: Did something happen when I was on the phone or?

Brooke: No. Nothing happened, honey. Nothing at all.

Hope: So you– you haven’t heard from ridge yet? He hasn’t given you any sort of explanation?

Brooke: No, no explanation. I mean, I really can’t understand why this man that I know so well would just turn our lives upside down like this with no reason. I mean, and he– he wanted me to say what it was almost like I did something.

Hope: But you didn’T.

Brooke: No, I didn’T. And I don’t know what it could possibly be that would’ve upset him so much. He ran off to aspen without even saying a word to me. And he pledged his life to taylor. I mean, you don’t know how disturbing it is to think that the man that I love is feeling like he’s being betrayed somehow. I– I– I don’t understand any of this, honey. It doesn’t make sense to me. Why? Why is this happening?

Hope: Mom.

[ Brooke crying ]

Brooke: His father,

thomas forster is unstable.

He has a knife.

Operator: And your name,

ma’am?

Thomas: Brooke logan.

Please hurry.

[ Audio rewinds ]

Brooke’s voice: Brooke logan

please, hurry.

[ Brooke crying ]

Brooke: Okay.

[ Relaxing music ]

Taylor: I know!

Steffy: Really?

Taylor: Yup.

Steffy: A pine cone?

Ridge: No, but it–

Taylor: Do not mock the cosmicness of it all. It was, uh, divine pining.

[ Steffy laughs ]

Steffy: Well, I’m just gonna go out on a limb here–

Taylor: Oh, yes!

Steffy: And say it was really romantic. Hey, I’m just like mom, okay? Honestly, though, it– it led you here, where you belong. But just in case, like, how many fingers am I holding up? Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh?

Ridge: Why would you tell her any of this?

Steffy: Did you get hit in the head or just–

Ridge: You know she’s gonna make fun of me. Why are you doing this?

Taylor: Because she’s gonna make fun of you.

Steffy: It’s true. Hey, whatever the reason, you came to your senses. And you realized what you have with mom. And you were open to taking dad back. It’s just really nice. I wish thomas were here.

Taylor: You know what? Let’s call him again.

Steffy: Yeah, let’s do it. Yeah. Love that.

Taylor: I– I think so too. “Out on a limb.” That was so funny. Oh…

Ridge: Goodbye, logan.

Brooke: Don’T.

[ Brooke sobbing ]

Katie: Thank you.

Bill: You’re welcome. Thank you for meeting me. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other without will.

Katie: Hm.

Bill: And I just thought that since he’s away at school, it would be a nice opportunity–

Katie: It’s been a long time, yeah.

Bill: I’m sorry, katie.

Katie: No, you don’t have to keep apologizing. I’ve accepted your apology.

Bill: Yeah, I know that, but I haven’t earned back your trust. It is killing me that I hurt you, that I tore our family apart. You deserved so much more, and I didn’t give it to you. But I can now.

Katie: Bill–

Bill: No, I– I can. I love you. I want my katie back.

Katie: Bill, we’ve been through all of this.

Bill: Things are different now.

Katie: How are they different?

Bill: I’m different. I– I used to tell you all the time that you make me better, that if there’s anything good about me at all, it’s because of you. You soothe the savage beast. But that was wrong of me. It’s not your responsibility to make me better. That’s on me. And– and I have been working to do just that. And it hasn’t been easy. But I’m trying. And if you come back to me, if you give us another chance, you will see that with your own two eyes. I will love you the way that you deserve to be loved.

Wow, bill.

Bill: I know, it sounds like somebody wrote that for me, doesn’t it?

Katie: It kind of does.

Bill: No. No. It’s all me. I’ve developed this freakish gift.

Katie: It’s pretty much what I’ve always dreamed of hearing.

Bill: It’s not a dream. It’s true.

Katie: And I believe you. I believe that it’s true in this moment. But if brooke were available, would it still be true?

Steffy: Leave it to donna to defend brooke after everything she put dad through.

Thomas: Yeah, she definitely

was defending brooke, but I’m

just sad granddad was in the

middle.

Steffy: Enough about brooke. She’s gone. Out of our lives. Speaking of gone, I’m gonna head out.

Thomas: Wait, you’re heading back to L.A. Already?

Steffy: Yeah, I think I should give these two some time alone.

Thomas: Okay.

Steffy: Dad, I know that thomas and I have been a little bit of a pain.

Ridge: A little bit?

Steffy: A little bit, but we– just because we know how great you two are for each other and how right it is to have our family back together.

Thomas: And walking away from all that pain? Putting your trust in a family you can really have faith in? You did good, dad.

Taylor: You did good.

Ridge: Okay.

Bill: Thank you. Katie, if we want to salvage our relationship, we have to look forward, not behind.

Katie: How can we look forward if we don’t deal with what destroys us every time, your love for my sister?

Bill: Katie, come on.

Katie: No… you said that brooke was the great love of your life. If that’s true, then what am I? I– I’m sorry if that’s blunt.

Bill: No, no, you’re– you’re protecting yourself, and I get that. There– there was a time when i had deep feelings for brooke.

Katie: But not anymore?

Bill: I’m sitting here with you. I’m trying to find a way back to what we had. You are my focus, you and will.

Katie: But what about brooke? No, it’s a valid question.

Bill: There– there is no brooke. There’s nothing. She is married to ridge.

Katie: But what if she weren’t? What if she were available? Can you honestly say that you would stay away?

[ Brooke sighs ]

Ridge: You don’t have to rush out of here.

Steffy: Oh, please.

Taylor: No, no, you don’T. You don’T. I’m sure the kids miss you and…

Steffy: Oh, okay. Yeah, I’m– I’m going.

Taylor: I’m– I’m gonna help you. I’ll help you pack.

Steffy: Dad, I love you.

Ridge: I love you more.

Steffy: Oh, I’m so glad you came to your senses. I am.

Taylor: Come on.

[ Phone rings ]

[ Phone beeps ]

Ridge: Thomas, hey, I just talked to you.

Thomas: Hey, dad. Um, can you talk? You alone?

Ridge: I am alone.

Thomas: Yeah, I just wanted to check on you after everything. So, brooke never…

Ridge: No, she did not. Look, I just want her to admit it, that’s all.

Thomas: She still didn’t confess to calling cps on me and trying to separate me from my son?

Ridge: No, she did not. What about you? Did you hear from child services ever?

Thomas: No. Nothing. Look, dad, I know you’re hurting, but walking away from brooke is the best thing you could have done for yourself and your family. And I– I want to thank you. Not only for going back to mom and reuniting our family, but sticking up for me and my relationship with my son. So, forget about brooke. All right? Focus on mom, your life and your future together.

Ridge: Okay. I’ll talk to you soon.

[ Phone beeps ] Some days, it felt like asthma was holding me back.

Katie: I’m not trying to put you on the spot or make you defensive. I’m just… I’m just trying to be realistic.

Bill: People change, katie.

Katie: They do. We both have. Would I like to reconcile with you and be a family again and spend my life with you? Yes, that’s what I’ve always wanted. I know you love me.

Bill: Of course I do.

Katie: But you also love my sister. And that’s something I can’t live with. Goodbye, bill.

[ Phone ringing ]

[ Phone beeps ]

Bill: What is it, othello?

Othello: I’ve got some news you’ll want to hear.

Bill: Is there a problem? Everything okay with steffy and taylor at the house?

Othello: Yeah, yeah, everybody’s good. Well, almost everyone. Brooke is here.

Bill: What? Brooke’s in– in aspen at the house?

Othello: Yeah, and she’s not alone. She wasn’t the only one. Bill, ridge is here as well. But here’s the thing. They didn’t come together.

I showed up just to check on

things, and I saw ridge

and brooke outside,

and it was pretty intense.

Bill: What do you mean? How intense?

Othello: The marriage is over, bill.

Bill: Uh, how could you make that determination?

Othello: Lots of crying. Ridge is in the house right now with steffy and taylor, and they’re looking like one happy little family.

Bill: What about brooke?

Othello: Oh, she left. A contact told me she got on the forrester jet and she headed back to los angeles. That was a while ago, though, so she’s probably gonna be there soon.

Bill: Thanks for the– for the information. I– I appreciate it.

[ Phone beeps ]

[ Intercom beeps ]

Pilot: We’re clear to land.

Welcome home to los angeles,

mrs. Forrester.

[ Brooke sobs gently ]

[ Owl hooting ]

[ Taylor chuckling ]

Taylor: Ridge.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Ridge: Oh, boy. Steffy?

Taylor: Yeah, who else? You know, I– I love our kids, but, um–

Ridge: Yeah, I do too, but it’s nice to be alone.

Taylor: Yeah. We waited a long time for this.

Ridge: Sorry I made you wait.

Taylor: But you’re here now.

Ridge: Uh-huh.

Taylor: I love you.

Ridge: I love you too.

Carter: Hey. Here’s the, uh, final budget for the international campaign. I was able to get you a little more than what you proposed. What’s wrong?

Katie: It’s nothing.

Carter: Well, it doesn’t seem like nothing. Talk to me. I’m your friend. What’s going on?

Katie: I saw bill. And he says that he wants to make up for all of his mistakes and that he wants me back.

Carter: And that’s not a good thing?

Katie: It’s a great thing. I just have to wonder that if my sister were available, would he be standing on her doorstep? I just don’t want to go through that again.

Ridge: I can’t ever lose you again. You bring out the best in me. You know me better than anybody. My logan.

Brooke: Your logan.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Ridge: My mother always

wanted us to be together.

So, what do you think, logan?

Will you marry me?

Brooke: Yes, ridge,

I will marry you.

[ Knock at door ]

Ridge: Okay.

Taylor: Yeah.

[ Ridge exhales sharply ]

[ Taylor chuckles ] Yeah, you’re welcome. That was worth the wait.

[ Taylor laughs ]

Ridge: I’m a lucky man.

Taylor: Yeah, you are. And don’t you forget it. Am I dreaming?

Ridge: I don’t think so.

Taylor: I love you so much.

Ridge: I love you.

Brooke: I want to be alone, bill.

Bill: Ridge let you down again. I’m sorry.

Brooke: Why are you here?

Bill: Because I told you i would always be here for you. I meant it.

Brooke: Ridge left me for taylor. But it just doesn’t make any sense. And I don’t know why. Why?

Thomas: You heard the recording, dad.

Brooke: I’d like to report a child in danger.

Thomas: It was her voice.

Woman: And your name, ma’am?

Brooke: Brooke logan.

Thomas: It was brooke. But it wasn’t you. It was me.

[ Beeping ]

[ Whirring ]

Brooke’s voice: But it wasn’t you. It was me.
