brooke : let him go ! let go of my son now ! stephanie : let him go , ridge . if you 're going to be angry with someone , be angry with brooke . because she 's known about it , and she 's lied to you the whole time ! nick : who are you calling ? taylor : phoebe . her cell phone 's out of range . nick : are you worried about her ? taylor : well , after that garbage stephanie said -- nick : will you forget about that old windbag ? coming over here stirring up trouble -- your daughter 's fine . she takes after you , she 's going to be okay . taylor : what 's this ? nick : i noticed you did n't eat much earlier . so i thought i 'd heat you up this soup . open . hmm ? what ? taylor : it 's spicy . nick : just like you , baby . sorry . i 'll get you something else . taylor : no , it 's good . i do n't need anything else . i just need you . just you . can you say the same about me ? ridge : did you know about this ? rick : mom had no idea that phoebe and i were up here . ridge : that 's not what i 'm asking . stephanie : oh , she knows . ridge : tell me , brooke . did you know that your son and my daughter were still involved ? brooke : yes . stephanie : at last , the truth . brooke : i tried to make you see that rick was not a threat to phoebe , and he 's not . stephanie : you should have ended it , brooke . brooke : i tried ! stephanie : oh , please -- phoebe : dad , i know this is really hard for you to understand , and i 'm not even sure brooke understands entirely , but -- i mean , she could see how hard it was for us to let go . ridge : how could you do this ? how could you do this ? how could you not tell me the truth ? brooke : i tried to tell you . i came to your office , and you were too busy being concerned about jarrett and him finding out ! i love phoebe very much . she 's like my own daughter . but i told you before , you can not force them not to feel what they 're feeling . stephanie : oh , for god 's sake . brooke : they needed time to work things out , stephanie . ridge : so you gave it to them . without telling me . brooke , i 'm her father . you had no right to do that ! brooke : and you had no right to threaten to kill rick because he would n't back off ! ridge : come on , you know i did n't really mean that . brooke : and yet i walk in here and you 've got your hands all over him , manhandling him ! stephanie : oh , so that excuses what you 've done ? brooke : do n't even bother trying to understand this , stephanie . stephanie : do n't try and blame other people for your lack of judgment . ridge : the point is , you know what it 's like trying to raise a teenage girl . there 's no manual to go by . there 's no way of knowing if what you 're doing is right . you just have to do what you believe in your heart is best and hope to god that it is . that 's why i ca n't step away , phoebe . and that 's why i wish that you had respected my feelings in all this . as much as you respected theirs . brooke : i need to talk to you in the other room . rick : mom , do n't . brooke : right now ! stephanie : even if she intervenes , it 's too little , too late . she 's lied to you the whole time , and you do n't base a marriage -- a good marriage -- on lies . nick : are we back to that again ? taylor : no , no , we 're not . nick : if stephanie had n't waddled over here with the sole purpose of spewing her opinion about brooke -- taylor : well , there was a time -- nick : but that time has come and gone . and i 've told you that , or words to that effect . what do i have to do to make you believe that ? rick : mom , i 'm sorry , okay ? i 'm sorry . the last thing in the world i wanted was for this to blow up like it has . brooke : you said you 'd be careful . rick : i know that ! mom , we thought that coming up here to this cabin would be the safe thing to do . how was i supposed to know that that battle - ax and ridge would find us up here ? brooke : what matters is that they did . and now stephanie 's determined to turn it into something ugly , when it is n't ! rick : and you know why . because she 's trying to destroy you and ridge just as much as phoebe and me . brooke : ridge is still phoebe 's father . now , i know she 's not a kid anymore , but parents still care about their children when they get older . rick : stop -- stop . i understand you 're a parent , and you get how ridge feels , but i thought you understood how phoebe and i feel . brooke : i do . but ridge thought that you were n't involved anymore . now he finds out that you 're still seeing each other and i knew about it ! rick : what , so that gives him the right to attack me physically ? brooke : no , my god , there is no excuse for that ever ! but ridge comes up here and finds you two in the cabin alone -- how 's he supposed to react ? now , i know that you have the best of intentions . but sometimes , when you meet somebody , and you have these feelings , all of those good intentions just go right out the window . and things happen . i know you care about phoebe . and i know that phoebe cares about you . and you do n't want to see her getting hurt anymore than you want to put her in some kind of bad position , like sneaking around behind her father 's back ! rick : this was her idea , to come up -- brooke : i do n't care whose idea it was ! you are the mature person here , and you should be responsible ! now , i 'm going to tell you what i told you before . break it off with phoebe , now . before it spirals out of control and things get even worse than they are already . stephanie : you owe your father an apology . ridge : mother -- phoebe : dad , grandma 's right . i asked you to treat me like an adult , and i 'm lying and i 'm sneaking around behind your back . i was wrong , and i 'm sorry . ridge : sweetheart , i 'm not exactly blameless in all this either . i know i probably could have handled it a lot better . but when i found out that rick had dragged you up here -- phoebe : dad , he did n't drag me up here . i wanted to be with him . ridge : when you were born , i knew that i would walk through hell and back to protect my little girl from the slightest harm . that 's what parents do . phoebe : i know , and that 's what you 've always done , dad . i mean , when i scraped my knee , you bandaged it . and you were there when i woke up from a nightmare . and you 've always protected me . but when you look at me now , you still see that little girl . and even though part of me will always be that -- your little girl -- you 're wrong about rick . ridge : we 'll talk about it more in the car on the ride home . phoebe : dad , i 'm not leaving without him . brooke : we should let them talk , alone . stephanie : what ? brooke : i trust my son , stephanie . ridge : you 're asking me to leave my daughter up here with this guy after what i walked in on ? brooke : i 'm not asking . thanks for calling dell . what can we build for you ? brooke : rick has some things to say to phoebe , and we 're going to let him . stephanie : is that an ultimatum ? brooke : we 'll drive back in your car , and stephanie can take mine . phoebe : dad , it 's okay . you do n't have to worry . we wo n't -- stephanie : no , you wo n't , young lady . because you 're going to go home with your father . brooke : phoebe and rick , we 'll see you both later . stephanie : are you going to let her turn the tables on you like that ? after she 's lied to you about this whole situation ? taylor : i believe you , nick . nick : tell me again . taylor : i do believe you , it 's just complicated . nick : see , i do n't agree . i think it 's completely uncomplicated . all we have to do is put some duct tape over stephanie 's mouth . whatever happens with forrester and brooke and their relationship has got nothing to do with me and it will not shake my world at all . because i have n't been this happy in -- i ca n't remember when . because of you , because what we 've found together . you know , there 's no games . there 's just no agenda . when i look in your eyes , i believe what i see . and i like your mind and your heart . and i like what i see when i look at you . and i like the way i feel when i touch you -- and kiss you . phoebe : i ca n't believe they found out where we were . i mean , especially since we took different cars . but you know , i think maybe it 's a good thing that my dad knows now -- i mean , i hated lying to him . and i know brooke did too . anyway , i mean , now that everything 's out in the open , it 's a huge relief . we do n't have to hide our feelings anymore . and you feel the same way , right ? rick ? rick ? talk to me . ridge : what the hell am i doing , leaving phoebe up there with that -- i 'm going to turn the car around . brooke : no . they need this time and we 're going to give it to them . rick knows what he has to do . ridge : oh , that 's supposed to ease my mind ? damn it , brooke . why did n't you tell me it was n't over between those two ? brooke : pull over . ridge : what ? brooke : pull over to the side of the road . we are going to get something straight once and for all . so i 'm on that roasted chicken italiano diet . taylor : what are you thinking about ? nick : are you serious ? after sex like that , i 'm not thinking anything . taylor : that 's okay . you can admit it . nick : admit what ? taylor : you were thinking about her . you miss her . nick : her ? taylor : the other love of your life . the marlin . she was your first love , right ? nick : ahh -- yes , yes . gone she is . she will be missed . taylor : i know it wo n't be easy letting her go . nick : no , no , never is . but that is my past . taylor : we 'd better be talking about the boat . nick : okay , one last time . i mean it , one time . brooke is my past , just like the boat is . and do n't think that you 're out of the woods either . as psychopathic as stephanie , she 's going to come to you and she 's going to want you to hook back up with ridge -- taylor : oh , no . no -- nick : you know she will -- taylor : no , no , that 's never going to happen . no way . no . ridge blew it . i found where i want to be . i found the man i want to be with . besides , it 's absolutely ridiculous that ridge would even come to me -- that ridge and brooke would split up at this late date . it 's absurd . nick : do you like talking about this ? taylor : no . nick : then shut up and kiss me . thank you .. ridge : so , what is this tone of yours ? back until now . i did n't want to do this in front of the others . i mean , it was bad enough that stephanie was there . but when i walked in , and i saw your hands on my son -- my god , ridge , that look in your eye -- it 's like you wanted to hit him . i never want to see that look again . ridge : you were the one who was lying to me and i 'm the bad guy ? is that what its come to now ? brooke : i will not tolerate you striking rick . if you 're angry with him , you work it out in words . but i never , ever want to see you attempt to hit my son again . ever . is that clear ? ridge : okay . brooke : okay , what ? ridge : okay , i will not let what happen tonight ever happen again . but i also want you to be aware of something . think about this . what does it say about us , that you feel the only choice you seem to have , is to lie to me ? phoebe : rick , why wo n't you talk to me ? did i do something ? rick : no . phoebe : then what ? is it my grandmother or my dad ? wait , wait , wait . when brooke asked to talk to you alone , what did she say ? rick ? rick ? rick : we put her in an impossible situation , phoebe . phoebe : no . my father put us in an impossible situation . asking us not to feel this way . i mean , now that he knows it was just -- it was way too much to ask , then -- rick : it does n't mean that he 's ever going to change his mind about us . phoebe : no , do n't talk like that . my dad will come around eventually . rick : phoebe , please -- please . phoebe : look , i know , okay ? i know it 's still complicated . but we have -- i mean , it 's not about my grandmother . and if it 's not about my dad , these are our feelings . they 're our lives . okay ? all we 're asking them to do is -- look , okay , your mom will not lose my father over this . all right , yes , he 's angry at her that she did n't tell him , but they 've been through worse than this . i mean , they 'll get through this too . so , if brooke was trying to put you through some guilt trip -- forget about my father . forget about whatever your mother said . we have to stop thinking and worrying about what everyone says . i love you . i mean , i love that thought of us even . please . just love me . | brooke has to separate ridge from rick . stephanie lashes that if ridge wants to be mad at someone , make that brooke as she knew the kids were still seeing each other and did nothing about it . ridge feels betrayed and ca n't believe that brooke would n't respect his feelings the way she seems to respect the kid 's feelings . brooke wo n't back down and insists on speaking to rick alone . she lectures him and advises him to break it off with phoebe before things spiral even further out of control . stephanie harks to ridge this is brooke 's fault and you do n't start a marriage based on lies . she reminds phoebe that she owes her father an apology . phoebe does apologize . she wanted him to treat her like an adult , then she sneaked around behind his back . ridge claims he could have handled it better too . but he and brooke are in opposite camps when it comes to her wanting to leave rick and phoebe there alone to work this out . and she 's not just asking him . stephanie is shocked that ridge would accept brooke turning the tables on him , after lying about this situation . going home , ridge is indecisive and wants to turn the car around and go back . brooke demands that he not , leave the kids alone ; they need this time alone and they are going to give it to them . he 's still incredulous that she knew about this all along . yet she berates him for that look in his eye and she will never tolerate him trying to strike her son again . he surmises she lied to him , yet he 's the bad guy here . rick is sullen and quiet and phoebe tries to persuade him that her dad will come around eventually . he thinks they have put his mother in a very touchy situation . phoebe does n't want him to go on this guilt trip . she says her dad will come around eventually . and his mom wo n't lose ridge because of this . they have to stop worrying about what everyone else says . she begs him to just love her . |
ridge : this is it , logan , right now . the life we always wanted together is right there within our reach . it 's right there . you have to make a decision . do you want a life with me , hope and r.j. ? or do you want a life with nick and that child ? felicia : the flowers are gorgeous . nice choice . thank you . woman : thanks . stephanie : i 'm so happy you 're here . kristen : oh , are you kidding ? i would n't have missed this for the world . stephanie : how are the boys ? kristen : they 're good , yeah . stephanie : good . good . felicia : i knew i 'd get her back here if i said we were having a party . stephanie : that 's all it takes anybody to see 'em .

[ scene_break ] donna : did you just stop by to show me how handsome you look ? eric : that 's exactly why i stopped by -- to hear you say something wonderful to me like that and to say good - bye before i have to go to this thing . donna : oh , god , do n't -- do n't say good - bye . i hate that word . will you just stay with me , please ? eric : you know i want to , and you know i ca n't . donna : ( sighs ) i know . i know . i know . you have an obligation to your family . and i love what a wonderful father you are to your children , but i just do n't know if you know what you 're getting yourself into tonight . eric : you have nothing to worry about , all right ? my heart belongs to you . and this ring on this finger proves it . donna : just be careful , okay ? eric : look , i am well aware that my children will do anything , anything , to keep me with stephanie . and i 'm also aware that this evening is going to be emotional , and , uh , it 's gon na have a big impact on me . donna : yeah , that 's exactly what i 'm afraid of . eric : but , donna , my future is with you , not with stephanie . i 'm going to this party because i want to and because i want to fulfill my obligation to my children and to my family , to stephanie . but when it 's over , i 'm gon na come home to you . donna : ( sighs ) ( whispers ) i hope so . [ scene_break ] nick : what 's going on ? jack : ( crying ) nick : i know he 's not hungry . he 's eaten . his diaper 's dry . bridget : he 's probably just overly tired . nick : yeah ? normally , he sleeps like a champ . i do n't know what 's the problem tonight . what 's up , buddy ? what 's up ? what 's the matter , huh ? bridget : why do n't you let me give it a try ? come here , jack . nick : please . bridget : come here , jack . oh . good boy . nick : ( sighs ) bridget : yeah . come on . come on , baby doll . shh . nick : you 're good . bridget : this is what it should have been like with our little girl . this is what we missed out on . jack : ( hiccupping ) [ scene_break ] brooke : you are and always will be the man of my dreams . it 's you that i want to marry . it 's you that i want to spend the rest of my life with . ridge : i believe you do want that , but there are a few , little , critical details that you need to sort through before we can move forward . brooke : no , no , i - i do n't really need to sort through anything , 'cause i know what i want . i know that i want you and hope and r.j. and i want our lives to start together right now . so let 's get married . let 's just run away and do it . ( laughs ) i 'm serious . in fact , we could go to your parents ' celebration with some wonderful news of our own . ridge : ( laughs ) brooke : ( laughs ) ridge : you want to get married right now ? brooke : yes . yes , right now . and we could take the forrester jet after the party , and we could go anywhere in the world . it would be so incredibly romantic to be whisked away and elope . ( giggles ) so what do you say ? [ scene_break ] katie : okay , i 'm here . what 's the matter ? donna : eric is being ambushed by his family tonight . katie : what do you mean , `` ambushed `` ? donna : it 's eric and stephanie 's anniversary celebration tonight . katie : oh , i see . donna : yeah , and the whole evening is going to be about stephanie and eric 's life together . you know , their -- their memories and their stories . you know , it 's a big , frickin ' forrester family lovefest . ( sighs ) katie : well , you seem pretty convinced that eric is committed to you . why are you so threatened by this party ? donna : because that family will do anything to keep their beloved mother happy . and they are gon na pull out all the stops tonight . [ scene_break ] eric : ( sighs ) felicia : daddy , what do you think ? eric : i think you 've probably outdone yourself putting together this party for your mother and me . that 's what i think . felicia : ( laughs ) you 've got some special guests . eric : kristen ! kristen : ( gasps ) thorne : whoa . eric : now this is the best anniversary gift ever . kristen : no . eric : yes , it is . kristen : god , having you and mom back together -- that is the best gift . eric : yeah . pam : hello , eric . eric : pam , hello . hi . pam : happy anniversary . eric : thank you . well , thanks for being here . what a great surprise . stephanie : i have to warn you . apparently , they have something planned that i do n't know anything about . just putting you on notice . felicia : uh , it 's true . this is going to be an evening that will change our family forever . stephanie : whoa . thorne : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] bridget : ( whispers ) sleep tight . nick : wow , you 're good . you 're like the dog whisperer , only it 's the baby whisperer . you saved the day , or the night , rather . bridget : ( normal voice ) i 'm sure you would have managed just fine without me . nick : ( sighs ) you know , this single parenting -- this is brutal . this is harder than running marone industries . i 'm -- i 'm gon na need some help around here , full time , too . bridget : well , look no further . nick : yeah ? you got somebody in mind ? bridget : me . i 'm here for you , nick . [ scene_break ] brooke : ridge , say something . i just asked you to elope with me . ridge : logan , after weeks of waiting , now all of a sudden , you -- you 're anxious to rush into a marriage . is that ... brooke : ( sighs ) are you having second thoughts about me , about our future ? ridge : do you see why i might be just a little bit cautious here ? you 're obviously still seeing nick . brooke : i 'm only still seeing nick because i 'm concerned about that baby . ( sighs ) ridge , it was n't by choice that i 'm involved in nick 's and this baby 's life . i just happen to be his biological mother , and now because of everything that taylor is going through , i 'm concerned about him . i want to make sure he 's safe and secure and he has everything that he needs . ridge : and nick needed you , too , right ? logan , you do n't see what you 're doing here . i do . you 've got one foot in marone 's door and one foot here . you say that you need us . are you sure that is n't just out of force of habit ? brooke : no . god , ridge , i say that i need you and i want you because i do . that 's really how i feel . ridge : ( sighs ) you need to think about ... if being with me would make you truly happy . or will you always be longing for nick and that child ? these are questions you need to -- to think about and answer , logan , before we can move forward with our life together . [ scene_break ] katie : look , stephanie made a huge sacrifice for our family . she could have sent storm to jail , but she did n't . donna : you do n't think i realize that , katie ? katie : the only thing she wanted in return was to spend her anniversary with eric . donna : we are talking about the man i love . katie : eric is just keeping his end of the bargain . donna : yeah , well , i can only imagine the guilt trip that his family is putting on him right now . i just hope he is not too affected by it . i mean , i ca n't even imagine losing eric to stephanie . ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] kristen : ( speaking indistinctly ) thorne : yeah . pam : i baked some of these lemon bars that you love so much -- no cinnamon . eric : thank you . thank you . i 'm so happy you did . i ca n't wait to dig in . pam : mm . you know , i actually have to get going . i 'm a little exhausted , but i also have to take tiny for a walk . eric : are n't you staying here on the grounds with us ? pam : no , no , i 'm staying in a hotel . eric : well , l - look , thanks for coming . i 'm honored that you would come all the way from chicago for this . thank you . pam : um , eric , listen , be patient with stephanie . just remember what a rough childhood she had . she 's only a product of that upbringing . i know she can be difficult at times , but she loves you so much . anyway ... felicia : ( laughs ) pam : i got ta go . tell steph i 'll -- i 'll be back . eric : all right . all right . felicia : ( laughs ) thorne : ( speaks indistinctly ) felicia : it 's happening . the magic is in the air . thorne : yes , it is . where 's ridge ? has anyone heard from him or brooke ? kristen : no . thorne : they should have been here by now . felicia : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] nick : well , thank you . it 's -- it 's very generous of you to offer , and i - i will definitely need help with jack , but are you sure it wo n't be too hard for you given the fact that we lost a baby together ? bridget : i have thought about that . you know , i 've done -- i 've done some pretty major soul - searching lately , and i 'm probably gon na hate myself for saying this , but maybe the -- the way that jack was conceived ... you know , the mis -- the mistake that was made -- never mind . nick : no . no . no `` never mind . `` what -- what is it ? bridget : i mean , maybe all this was supposed to happen to bring you and me together again . katie and i talked about it , and she 's the one that actually mentioned that perhaps the whole egg mix - up was destined to be . bridget : maybe she was right , nick . for the worst allergies , nick : ( sighs ) i do n't know why any of this happened , bridget . it was a mistake , and there 's really no explanation . all i know is that i 'm a single parent and i 'm alone . bridget : you 're not alone , nick . you have jack . nick : yes . yes , i have jack , and for that , i 'm grateful . bridget : you have been so blessed with a beautiful boy to nurture and to love .

( sighs ) i - i know that it 's traditional for the man to come to the woman , but here i am . i 'm coming to you on bended knee . ridge : ( sighs ) brooke : be my husband , ridge forrester , my husband for as long as we both shall live . ridge : ( laughs ) brooke : ( laughs ) . | ridge asks brooke seriously , if she wants a life with him or with nick and jack ? she assures him that he is the man of her dreams and the man she wants to spend her life with . she suggests they just do it , run away right now and get married . when he 's less than enthusiastic , she questions his hesitation . he tells her that before they move ahead with their lives that she needs to make sure she is not going to have one foot in nick 's door and one in his . can she give up nick and jack ? the anniversary party is beginning to bloom ; kristen surprises her mother by flying in .. as well as pam who brings one of her latest cooking delights . eric takes a few minutes away to see donna and assures her that when the party is over he will come back to her . bridget seems to be just what jack needs to settle down . when nick suggests he will have to get full time help , bridget boldly applies for the job . she wants to be there for nick . in its own crazy way , she thinks all of this might have been destined to happen to bring her and nick back together . |

[ scene_break ] bill : look at me . say it . tell me you believe me . steffy : i do n't want to think you 're capable of that . bill : i did n't do it . steffy : bill , i saw you . you were half out of your mind running away . bill : i just saw amber fall off a cliff . i - i did n't know how to react , so i took off . steffy : so you had nothing to do with that ? bill : did you see me commit a crime ? did you see anything at all ? steffy : bill , you yelled at me . you told me to get out of there . you jumped in your car , you took off , and you did n't even see if i left . bill : i told you to leave . i assumed you would . steffy : you 're wearing all black . you were wearing gloves . bill : did you see me touch amber ? did you see me push her ? no . it did n't happen . steffy : then how do you explain the way you acted ? how do you explain your clothes ? how do you explain leaving me there alone ? your story does n't add up , bill . bill : i 'm telling you the truth . steffy : well , you tore out of there like someone who just committed a crime . bill : i did n't touch her , and i am not going to be held responsible for her death . steffy : bill , i did n't follow your instructions . i did n't leave after you drove off . amber 's cell phone was on the ground at the edge of the lookout , and when i went to go pick it up , i looked over , and guess what i saw . bill : listen to me . steffy : ( gasps ) bill : what you saw was no one . i did not kill amber moore , and i am not going to be held responsible for it . do you understand me ? [ scene_break ] justin : yeah , bill is carrying a heavy load . donna : ever since the paternity test . justin : yeah . donna : if you could have seen him in the office today -- i mean , he was ... he was in a really dark mood . justin : amber has singlehandedly destroyed every dream he had for his son . donna : well , katie says he sees her as a - a - a threat . justin : you know , that 's a dangerous position for amber to be in . no one threatens bill 's family . trust me . donna : look , if -- if it 's true , it 's -- its liam i 'm worried about . he -- he could have been killed when amber 's trailer exploded . justin : makes our life seem almost idyllic . donna : nothing `` almost `` about it , my love . justin : ( chuckles ) donna : ( giggles ) justin : i am so glad we do n't have that problem with our son . donna : yes , thank god our son is not involved with an amber moore . justin : ( chuckles ) donna : ( scoffs ) now ... how can i help you ? justin : oh , well , let 's see . you can handle some contract issues with the union , or you could just simply kiss me again . donna : oh , really ? justin : mm . donna : well , i can do better than that . justin : ( chuckles ) donna : mm . justin : mm . ( knock on door ) donna : mm . justin : mm . marcus : whoa . ( chuckles ) donna : oh . marcus : honeymoon is n't quite over yet , is it ? [ scene_break ] bill : we need to get our story straight . steffy : our story ? bill : about what happened on the edge of that cliff . steffy : bill , there 's something you should know . when i looked over the side of the bluff -- bill : you never looked over the side of the bluff . you were never there . steffy : what ? bill : you were never out the beach house and neither was i . what happened to amber was a terrible accident . steffy : is there any possible way at all she saw you before you hit her ? bill : i did n't hit -- i did n't hit her . and no , she did n't see me . amber is dead . there 's going to be an investigation i do n't want you drawn into that . it 's best you were n't there , steffy . steffy : what about my car , huh ? bill : it 's a private road . nobody saw you . steffy : bill , what about you ? bill : i did n't see a soul my whole way down p.c.h . nobody saw me either . we are in the clear . steffy : so if the police start asking questions , what ? i 'm just gon na lie and cover for you ? bill : look , i 'm trying to protect you , too . i want us both kept out of this . amber is dead . i did n't kill her . there 's no reason to make this more difficult than it already is , steffy . you were n't there . i was n't there . what happened to amber was a tragic accident . [ scene_break ] justin : so how about all three of us go out to dinner ? donna : your favorite sushi place ? justin : huh ? marcus : oh , guys , um , i have a plane to catch . justin : what ? donna : what -- where -- where are you going ? marcus : well , that 's why i came by . i 'm heading back to paris tonight . justin : what ? so soon ? marcus -- marcus : i got a pile of paperwork on my desk , pop . i got ta go . donna : oh , i - i wish you could stay longer . justin : we -- we understand . you 're a busy man . all right . donna : oh , no , of course . of course we do , but -- marcus : um , pop , um , before i go ... justin : hmm ? marcus : is bill around ? i wanted to go in and say `` what 's up `` to him . justin : you know , uh , i do n't think that 'd be a good idea . marcus : why ? justin : he just has n't been himself ever since amber got pregnant with his grandchild . marcus : well , he ca n't be that upset . i mean , he 's lettin ' her stay up in the new beach house in malibu . donna : you know about that ? marcus : i - i 've heard something like that . donna : oh , where did you -- marcus : thomas . thomas told me . justin : let 's make it clear . bill is no fan of amber 's . he blames every thing negative in liam 's life on her . marcus : yeah , but it takes two to tango . justin : yeah , but -- donna : but , marcus , look , this is not the first time amber 's done this . marcus : i know , mom . i heard about her and rick . justin : okay , so how many men has this woman slept with ? she the morals of an alley cat , marcus . donna : ( sighs ) marcus : come on . she ca n't be that bad . justin : so how well do you know amber moore ? [ scene_break ] steffy : you hated amber . bill : she targeted my son . she manipulated a pregnancy . she was making his life a living hell . she almost killed him in an explosion . she was trying to destroy him . steffy : so you decided to kill her . bill : i did n't kill her ... not that i did n't want to . steffy : but what were you doin ' at the house ? bill : i went to see her . steffy : but you did n't see her ? bill : no . she was out on the lookout using her cell phone . steffy : so you went out there all in black . bill : yes , i went out there . steffy : and what happened ? bill , talk to me . bill : all right . i contemplated killing amber . she was trying to destroy my son . but she did not die by my hand . now listen to me . her body 's gon na be found on that beach , and the police are going to start an investigation . and the first place they 're gon na come is to me as the owner of that property , but i ca n't be charged with a crime that i did n't commit , steffy . so i was n't there , and neither were you . that is the cleanest way to handle this . steffy : it 'd be a lot cleaner if you were just honest with me . bill : i am being honest with you . steffy : so when the police start asking questions , be honest with them , too . bill : oh , come on . come on , steffy . do you know what that would mean ? that would mean that we were on the cover of every newspaper and every tabloid for the next six months . now i 'm not gon na let that happen . i do n't want that- not for me , and not for you , either . i did n't do anything . steffy : ( sighs ) bill : i know how this looks . steffy : ( sighs ) bill : i had the means . i had the motive . and , yes , i had the opportunity . but i did not kill amber . now listen to me . the police could arrive here any time , and when they do , and they tell us about amber , we have to act shocked and surprised . can you handle that ? ( knock on door ) bill : that could be the police . i need to know we 're on the same page , steffy . ( knock on door ) bill : steffy ? steffy : ( sighs ) bill : come in . [ scene_break ] justin : i hope you 're not friends with amber moore marcus : hey , you guys know me , i 'm friends with everybody . justin : this woman is trouble . we 're not telling you who to be friends with and who not to be friends with , but you need to stay far away from amber moore . marcus : look , i 'm gon na be in paris , okay ? justin : okay . marcus : and i 'm pretty sure amber 's gon na be with her with the baby daddy . so why are we even talkin ' bout this , okay ? donna : okay . okay . justin : all right . all right . marcus : thank you look , i really do have to go . donna : okay , but you 'll -- you 'll call when you get to paris ? marcus : it 's gon na be pretty early here , mom . donna : i - i do n't care . any time of day ? a mother worries . justin : even when her son 's a grown man . marcus : okay , i 'll text you , all right , so when you wake up , you 'll see it . donna : okay . i miss you when you 're gone . marcus : miss you , too donna : ( sighs ) justin : yeah ? marcus : do n't work too hard . justin : oh , you do the same , all right . you have fun out there . marcus : all right , i will . yeah , you know me . you do n't have to worry about that . okay , take care of each other . justin : yeah , indeed indeed . all right . marcus : all right , cool . justin : hey , and do n't mess around with her types , okay ? donna : ( chuckling ) justin : we do n't want you to end up like liam . marcus : all right .

[ scene_break ] steffy : amber . what are you doing here ? amber : you okay , bill ? bill : just surprised to see you . amber : so she told you about the accident ? steffy : yeah . yeah . i told him how you took a spill . amber : i damn near got killed . and if i had n't grabbed hold of that branch ( sighs ) thank god you were there to pull me up . bill : you rescued her ? amber : yeah , and not a minute too soon . i mean , i - i she had n't come , i - i would be dead on the beach . ( sighs ) look , bill , i - i do n't mean to sound ungrateful , but you 've got ta get someone out there to trim those trees . i mean , i - i was hit by a flying branch , and it sent me over the edge of life . bill : you must have been petrified . amber : oh , you do n't even know . you do n't even know . you almost lost your grandchild today , and not to mention the mother of it . steffy : how 's the baby ? amber : i guess okay . i 'm gon na go to the doctor and make sure i get checked out . steffy : good . amber : you 're all right ? look . i - i 'm okay now . i - its okay you know , it was a close call , but all 's well that ends well , right ? steffy : look , um , you better not miss your doctor 's appointment . amber : listen , um , when you call tree guys , could you call the satellite guy too ? because i really need wi - fi so i do n't feel so stranded out there . so , um . how 's liam ? is he sick of the hospital ? bill : he is . amber : good . see ? a told you he 'd be okay . um , will you have him give me a call ? i 'm sure he 'd want to know about the accident . okay . i 'd better get goin ' steffy , thank you so much for what you did for me today . i will never forget you , and do n't worry , i 'm fine . me , our baby . there 's nothin ' to worry about , okay ? ( door closes ) bill : why did n't you tell me she survived ? steffy : disappointed ? bill : why did n't you say something ? steffy : it 's not like you gave me a chance , bill . bill : ( sighs ) steffy : you ought to be thanking me , bill . bill : thanking you ? really . steffy : attempted murder is a serious charge . murder would have been worse if killed her . bill : i told you . i did not k -- steffy : i know . i know you did n't do it , i 'm sorry you feel you have to lie to me . bill : i am not lying to you , steffy . steffy : you told me once before that you were contemplating murder . bill : ( sighs ) steffy : i did n't believe you . i did n't think you were serious . i thought it was just some dark fantasy . i 'd never , ever think you could do something like this . bill : i did n't do it . steffy : bill , you bought that house . you knew it was dangerous property . but that did n't stop you from putting amber up there all by herself , cut off from the rest of the world . this was all part of your plan to just get rid of her . bill : my plan was to save my son 's life . steffy : by killing amber ? bill : he wo n't survive amber moore . steffy : oh , bill , you do not give your son enough credit . bill : she has to be stopped ! steffy : not like this ! bill , you know i 'm right . as much as liam hates amber , he would never want her dead . do n't you see how wrong this is ? bill : he is my only son ... my flesh and blood . i never thought i would have a kid . and i am not going to let her destroy him . steffy : bill , this would break your son 's heart if he knew you were thinking this way . please do n't contemplate murder . bill : liam 's part of me . i 'm responsible for him . it 's an instinct that i have never experienced , and the strongest instinct that i have ever felt . i love my son . and i will protect him steffy : bill , you will . you will , but not like this . not with thoughts of murdering someone that you see as a threat . listen to me . as much as you hate amber , as much as you -- you fear for your son , you ca n't think this way . you got ta accept the situation . you can not wish amber dead . i came back from paris because i missed you . ( sniffles ) i could n't get you out of my mind . bill , i need you . ( sniffles ) and you need me . your life is out of control right now , all right ? and you need help . so i 'm gon na help you . you got ta get through this . you can never , ever think this way again do you hear me ? promise me you wo n't . promise me . bill : ( sighs ) okay . steffy : your secret is safe with me . bill : thank you . steffy : come here . | bill is adamant to steffy . amber moore is dead . she was hit by a tree branch and fell over the lookout rail . he did not touch her and he is not going to be held responsible for her death ..... not that he did n't want to kill her . he does n't want steffy caught up in this either , so she is to say she was never there at malibu ; he was never there either . amber had a tragic accident . steffy demands answers why bill was out there in the first place . she knows he was upset about amber being pregnant and blaming his son liam . he declares that he did n't do anything , but if he talks to the police and admits he was there , they will all be in the tabloid headlines for at least six months . he knows the police will be there soon and they both must act surprised . there is a knock at the door and they brace themselves , but it is amber who walks in . |
bill : what we 've experienced , brooke -- the time we spend together , getting to know each other , helping each other -- it 's made me feel things -- brooke : bill . bill : are you gon na deny that you feel it , too ? brooke : no . you 've become very important to me , but -- bill : you do n't have to say any more . i 'm glad i matter to you . brooke : you have no idea . katie : oh , man . finally got him down . everything okay ? brooke : yeah ! i was just telling bill that i 've got to go see hope 'cause there 's something that she wanted to tell liam . katie : what ? brooke : i do n't know . that 's why i have to go find out . katie : okay . well , give her my love , and please , please tell her that if she needs anything , i am just a phone call away . brooke : okay . bill : yeah , and if she needs any distraction , she could come and take will for an afternoon . katie and i could spend some time alone . katie : well , do n't make any promises . i do n't want my son out of my sight for just even a second . [ chuckles ] brooke : okay . well , i 'll check with you later , okay ? katie : okay . bye . bill : really , katie ? not even an afternoon ? katie : please , please do n't start . bill : i just want to spend some time alone with my wife . is that really so wrong ? [ scene_break ] ( flashback ) hope : [ sighs ] okay . promise me that you will marry steffy before the baby 's born . [ sighs ] liam : hey . steffy : hi , you . liam : what are you , uh -- what are you doing ? steffy : just putting stuff back the way i like it . you mind ? liam : no . it 's your house . we can even buy new stuff if you want . steffy : oh , no . i do n't want to do that . oh , but we do need to make the guest room into a nursery . liam : yeah . [ sighs ] about that , um ... steffy : is something wrong ? liam : i think you and i need to have a conversation about where to go from here . [ scene_break ] katie : of course , it 's not wrong for you to want to be with me . that 's the way it should be . bill : okay , great . then i 'm gon na have alison set up nanny interviews . i think i can afford it . katie : it 's not about economics -- it 's about me spending time with will , quality time . bill : we spend plenty of quality time with will . what about quality time for each other ? katie : i was gone . i was gone for important weeks , formative weeks . bill : katie , you ca n't get that time back . katie : but i can try to make it up to him . bill : at our expense ? katie : i hope not ! i do like it that you 're so hot for me . bill : well , then , let me do something about it , and you 'll like it even more . katie : honey , i have to put will first right now , at least until he 's bonded with me . bill : and how long do you suppose that would take ? katie : as long as it takes . please , please do n't be angry . bill : i 'm not angry , katie . frustrated . lonely . i miss my wife . katie : i 'll make it up to you . i promise . but this is what i have to do right now . please just bear with me . bill : do i have a choice ? katie : why do n't you tell me what 's going on with my sister ? she seemed a little off . bill : do you have time to listen ? katie : yeah , of course . you have my undivided attention . [ scene_break ] steffy : i have to be sitting down for this ? how bad is it ? liam : why are you expecting the worst ? steffy : so i 'll be pleasantly surprised when it 's good . okay , i can -- i can tell there 's something important on your mind . you can -- you can talk to me . liam : okay . [ sighs ] i 've been thinking a lot about you and us and the baby . steffy : and you 're freaked out . it 's -- it 's okay . we 're talking life - changing stuff , here . liam : i know . steffy : mm - hmm . liam : and i 'm excited for the future . but it 's ... not the same as it was . it 's not this faraway , distant thing that i can barely wrap my head around anymore . i mean , it 's -- it 's here already . steffy : yeah . liam : it 's right now . it 's -- it 's inside you . and i want to set a wedding date . steffy : you what ? liam : i want to marry you , steffy ... before the baby comes . steffy : [ sighs ] liam : [ chuckles ] steffy : oh . [ scene_break ] brooke : hi , honey . hope : oh , hey , mom . brooke : how did it go with liam ? hope : good . i think he heard me . brooke : what did you say ? hope : i told him to marry steffy . brooke : why in the world would you do that ? [ scene_break ] katie : i know you think i 'm being overprotective . bill : oh , maybe just a little . katie : well , the good news is that he went right back to sleep this time , so now you have my undivided attention . so , why do n't you tell me what you think about this whole taylor and eric relationship ? bill : well , i actually have n't given it too much thought , beyond how it affects brooke . katie : so she thinks that taylor is pulling some kind of power play , like trying to keep brooke and rick and hope in their places , so to speak ? bill : that 's about the size of it . katie : that seems awfully calculating for taylor . i mean , maybe they 're getting together because they 're lonely . it happens . bill : it is pretty quick . katie : maybe they figured why waste time ? i mean , why not enjoy each other while they can ? they 're not getting any younger . bill : yeah , you might not want to float that theory past brooke . i do n't think she 's gon na break out the champagne and wish the lovebirds well . as a matter of fact , she 's gearing up for a fight . and i 'm going to help her . [ scene_break ] steffy : you 're asking me to marry you ? liam : in a completely unromantic way . i 'm sorry about that . steffy : are you kidding ? you have n't been this romantic since you tore up those annulment papers and laid that kiss on me . liam : yeah . i guess we were on the right track back then , too . steffy : yeah . liam : i ca n't help but notice you have n't said yes . steffy : i 'm sorry . i 'm just -- [ sighs ] i 'm -- i 'm just really surprised . i was n't expecting a proposal tonight . liam : makes sense , right ? steffy : that 's what we have to figure out . liam : do , you ... want to marry me ? steffy : more than anything . liam : okay . steffy : if you 're sure it 's what you want . yes , i am the mother of your child , and marrying me is the right thing to do , but we get to make up our own rules , and i 'm happy just the way we are . liam : so is that a no ? steffy : it 's a `` tell me all the all of the reasons why you want to marry me , `` and then i 'll give you an answer . liam : [ chuckles ] ( flashback ) hope : i want you to marry steffy .. before the baby 's born . [ scene_break ] brooke : i do n't understand . why would you encourage liam to marry steffy ? i know that 's not what you want . hope : [ sighs ] if i had my way , steffy would n't be pregnant . but she is . and no matter how much it hurts , she is having liam 's baby . and i know how important it is to liam to raise it with two parents in a stable home . brooke : yes , but he does n't have to be with steffy . you and liam could get married , and you could be the second parent . hope : no , it 's -- it 's not gon na work like that . liam chose to raise his baby with its mother , and it would hurt me so much to know if i did anything to cause any pain to this child . brooke : well , there is another way to look at it . you and liam could get married , and the baby could benefit from all of your love and understanding . unless , of course , it would be too painful for you to help raise steffy 's child . hope : i would do it i heartbeat if that 's what liam wanted . brooke : does he know that ? maybe you should tell him . hope : i ca n't , mom . i have to let him go . [ scene_break ] katie : listen , i totally understand why brooke would n't want taylor to become romantically involved with eric . i mean , stephanie has n't been gone that long . but they 're consenting adults . i do n't really know what she or you , for that matter , could do to come between them . bill : it 's not about coming between them . it 's about brooke reasserting herself at the company . listen , i 'm no expert on taylor , although in some of my dealings with her -- well , i have had to question her professional and personal judgment . having said that , i do n't know what her motives are . maybe she has genuine feelings for eric . maybe she 's just making a power play and using him to position herself and her family at the company . the point is ... brooke has a proven track record . and in business , it 's all about money , and the more money , the stronger the bottom line . brooke is a proven sales generator . katie : that 's very true . the `` brooke 's bedroom `` line was a phenomenon . bill : most profitable line in the company 's history . katie : and belief made the company a lot of money , as well . bill : right . so brooke needs to get back in the game . once she 's generating sales , she ca n't be squeezed out . katie : i think it 's a fantastic idea . bill : you do ? katie : yeah , absolutely . i mean , so much has happened to brooke over this last year . she 's lost ridge . she lost stephanie . i think it would be wonderful for her to throw herself back into something that she does better than anyone else . bill : and if taylor is making a power play , this squashes it . katie : you 're absolutely right . it 's the perfect answer . so what did she say ? bill : well , she was a little reluctant . katie : i 'll talk to her . bill : no need . i talked to her . and now she 's pretty turned on by the idea . she 's agreed . katie : hmm . [ scene_break ] liam : when i , uh -- when i pulled you out of the tub and , uh , saved your life ... [ both laugh ] liam : i had no idea what was coming . i mean , i thought i knew my future . i thought i knew the direction my life was headed in . and then you just came on like wildfire . nothing has been the same ever since . steffy : yeah , well , tenacity is my specialty . [ both laugh ] liam : that , right there . the time i spend with you , steffy , it 's -- it 's fun . you lighten me up . you make me happy . and now you 've given me this incredible gift of a son or a daughter . it 's a family i did n't ask for , i did n't expect , but ... i 'm so grateful to have . i know you do n't like hearing `` it 's the right thing to do , `` but , steffy , us getting married and raising this child together is the right thing to do . and it 's not because i feel obligated . it 's the right thing to do , because it 's what i want . so .. steffy forrester . steffy : [ sighs ] liam : i 'm gon na ask you one more time . will you do me the honor of being my wife ? [ kisses her hand ] steffy : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] hope : liam 's moving on , and i need to do the same and figure out who i am without him . brooke : i can help you with that . you 're a beautiful , strong , principled young woman , smart and talented , wonderful and unique . hope : you are making me sound perfect . thank you for that , but i 'm not . brooke : you are perfect , to me . hope : you have to say that . you 're my mom . brooke : oh , honey , just wait until you get out there . there 's gon na be lots of young men lined up for miles . hope : that might take a minute . i just -- i need to work on myself . [ sighs ] you know , i - i need to -- i need to learn how to have my own back , you know , protect what 's mine , stop being so concerned with the way other people are living and just get my own life in check . brooke : okay , so how do you want to go about all of that ? hope : [ sighs ] well , i 'll start with the re - launch of `` hope for the future . `` you know , i want to get involved in women 's rights and environmental issues . i want to get out into the world and see new people and make new friends . brooke : or reconnect with old ones . i heard that you were spending some time with oliver . hope : oh . yeah . yeah , he 's -- he 's a good guy , and he cares about me a lot . he 's just -- he 's -- he 's just not liam .

liam : seems to be , yeah . sally : yeah . hope : i -- i totally understand . sally : [ sighs ] it was kind of dicey there for a minute . wyatt : huh . liam : yeah , i -- i honestly was n't sure how hope was gon na react to all that stuff flo was saying . wyatt : well , i think it 's a painful subject . liam : yeah , but i think flo 's concern seemed really genuine . wyatt : yeah , i mean , i think so , too . a lot like hope in that way . i mean , ask anyone we knew back in vegas , and they would say flo was always such a kind , generous person . liam : you know , that 's the vibe steffy got , too . sally : flo did a really incredible thing , giving kelly a little sister . liam : yeah , well , it 's incredible for hope , too . i mean , to have phoebe in her life , especially at this time , that 's a blessing . wyatt : right . flo : when i overheard you talking about it , what that night was like for you and how much you miss your baby , it just ... it just really hit me . hope : well , you understand . flo : more than you know . i mean , nothing like what you went through , obviously . you did n't have a choice . i did . hope : but you made a very selfless one . and it 's one that has brought joy to a very dark time in my life . xander : zoe . what is going on ? zoe : something i thought i took care of . i have to go . steffy : mom , the girls are fine . you 're here with us . you see how happy they are . taylor : what about you ? are you as happy as you could be ? steffy : [ sighs ] taylor : you do n't have to hide from me how you feel . i already know what you 're feeling . i just -- i hate it that your children are having to go through what you did . the way brooke used her sexuality to manipulate your father and tore our family apart ... steffy : hope is n't like brooke . taylor : no , no , they 're very different , but hope used her own tactics to take liam away from you . steffy : she did n't take liam away . she 's not keeping kelly away from him . stop doing that . do n't make me out to be the victim , i 'm not . taylor : you 're not living the life you wanted . steffy : neither is liam . neither is hope . you know , i have two beautiful girls , and i get to hold them , and i can watch them grow up . taylor : but you 're doing it alone ! even hope know that 's not the way it should be . i hate that she 's suffering and she 's going through so much pain , and i feel for brooke and the entire family , but hope is right . liam should be here ! he should be here with you , helping you with those little girls . steffy : [ sighs ] taylor : look , i 'm -- i 'm not trying to diminish what you 've accomplished , honey . and it does n't change how impressed i am with your strength and what a wonderful mother you are . and i know you 're not a victim . neither am i . we may have lost liam and ridge , but that does n't define us . it does n't hold us back . we have so much to be grateful for , honey . so many amazing things ahead of us , and we have each other and those two beautiful little girls . and no one can take that away from us . hope : does it bother you if i talk about phoebe ? i just -- i do n't want to say the wrong thing . flo : no , no . i -- i can tell that she really means a lot to you . hope : yeah , she does . sally : should we interrupt ? liam : no , i think this is a good thing , and hope needs someone to talk to , you know ? wyatt : yeah , and , in a way , flo probably feels what hope 's going through . hope : you know , right from the beginning , i felt this incredible bond with phoebe , and it did n't make sense to me , how i could feel so connected to this -- this little stranger , but meeting you , now i understand . you know , when i look at phoebe , i just see this goodness and this warmth , and i see the same in you . flo : i do n't deserve that . hope : trust me , i have the same reaction when people say that about me . flo : when they say that about you , it 's true . hope : i can not think of a more courageous and compassionate act than what you did for phoebe . i mean , you gave her a beautiful future . you have to know that . steffy is a devoted mother , and , honesty , i ca n't think of anyone who could be a better mother to that little angel . flo : you would make a great mother , too . i 'm -- i 'm sorry , i know -- i know that you 're still grieving her loss , but it 's true . i -- i really , really hope that you try again one day . hope : i do n't think so . flo : you -- you have to . i mean , you would be such a great mother . just the way that you talk about phoebe , i can tell . hope : i -- i ca n't go through that again . flo : you 're heartbroken now , but you ca n't give up . hope : maybe that 's just the way it 's meant to be . maybe i 'm not supposed to bring a child into this world . flo : no , no , no , no , no , no , no . please , i mean -- look , i know we just met , you do n't know me , but i -- i -- i can tell . i just -- i just really , really hope you do n't give up . please , please promise me . you 're meant to be a mother . i can tell . i am absolutely certain of it . | flo keeps telling all that all of this is wrong and never should have happened . hope should not be going through this pain ; she does not deserve it . steffy loves what she does for the girls and says she could get up all night and look at them . this gives taylor another opportunity to say again that steffy should not be doing this alone . she knows she has taylor and ridge for support but liam should be here . steffy says and taylor is not the only one ; hope thinks that way too . she is in so much pain and wants to give kelly and phoebe what she wanted for beth . she even took off her ring but liam insisted that she put it back on . hope tells flo that it pains her to say this but their beth is gone and there is nothing anyone can say that will bring her back . flo tells hope that she is glad that she is healing but she can not believe she is saying all of this . hope says she knows she is not the only one with challenges in her life . look what flo had to do to give up her child . sally interrupts and says she needs to go check on the food . the mood shifts and flo does not finish what she originally intended to say . wyatt asks a few questions and one is does he know phoebe 's dad . flo says sorry but the less she says about him the better . hope tells flo that she was touched by a complete stranger although she does not feel flo is a stranger now . |

brooke : i was talking about deacon . ridge : nothing that guy does anymore surprises me . brooke : the way he barged in here ? ridge : you asked him if it was about business . he said `` no . `` ridge : well , he knew we 'd throw him out . brooke : and him talking about the baby . ridge : it got our attention , did n't it ? brooke : how does he even know about it ? ridge : he works at forrester . brooke : so , all of our problems are office gossip ? everybody talks about it ? ridge : everybody but us . jackie : there 's no need to threaten me , deacon . deacon : hey , jackie , i just want you to know where i stand . jackie : yeah , you want to help brooke . well , so do i . deacon : what -- by keeping this secret from her ? jackie : by allowing her to get on with her life . deacon : get on with her life without ridge ? jackie : he 's not the father of her child . the lab ran the tests twice . deacon : it 's kind of a funny thing about those lab results -- you know , they 're a little bit , uh , inconclusive . jackie : dr. paxson was just covering her bases -- that 's all . deacon : and now , you 're going crazy trying to cover yours . jackie : nicky loves brooke . he 's committed to raising his child -- with her . deacon : well , it seems to me like you 're doing just about everything you can to make sure that he has that chance . cheers . jackie : would n't you ? i mean , would n't you ? if your child was on the verge of getting everything that they had always wanted -- everything you 'd wanted for them ? would n't you ? deacon : no . what i would do is want my son to be part of a family with a wife that loves him . but , you know , that 's just me -- i 'm funny that way . jackie : nicky and brooke are starting to reconnect . deacon : oh , right -- reconnect -- which would explain why i saw brooke and ridge stuck together like crazy glue . jackie : he 's having trouble letting go . deacon : yeah , obviously . but that does n't really seem to concern you -- does it ? jackie : of course , i 'm concerned . i care . he is my husband 's child . i hate what this is doing to him . but it would be so wrong of us to give him false hope . deacon : so , you 're not just doing this for nicky . you want what 's best for everyone . jackie : yes , deacon , i do . even you . deacon : you know , i was right about you . you are good , jackie . you 're very good . jackie : deacon , i 'm a very influential woman . so , i could be a very valuable friend to you . deacon : if i keep my mouth shut . jackie : well , let 's just say the marone family -- they place a very high price on discretion . eric : samantha 's going to be very surprised . priscilla : she does n't know i 'm coming ? stephanie : no . she thinks you 're the plane . priscilla : perhaps i should go talk to her on my own . bridget : sam , are you sure that you 're okay with this ? samantha : yes , stephanie would n't have asked me to come if she did n't think it was important . stephanie : sam , sweetheart , your mother is here . samantha : mother . priscilla : hello , my darling . priscilla : samantha , it is so good to see you . samantha : what are you doing here ? priscilla : stephanie called me . samantha : what happened to hong kong ? priscilla : hong kong can wait . let me look at you . you 've changed your hair . not to worry , it will grow . eric : priscilla , you remember my daughter , bridget ? priscilla : you 're all grown up , now . bridget : it 's nice to see you again , mrs. kelly . priscilla : please , call me priscilla . i have n't been mrs. kelly for ages . stephanie : why do n't we go into the living room and sit down . priscilla : thank you . it 's no wonder you feel so comfortable here , samantha . this old house has n't changed a bit . now , would you tell me , what 's going on ? stephanie and eric are very worried about you . bridget : you told her about pucci , right ? priscilla : yes , i heard -- and i know how much you loved that dog . but he was very old . he had a long and happy life . samantha : she -- priscilla : she must have been what -- 12 , 15 ? samantha : you know how old she was , mother ? you gave her to me . priscilla : it was her time , samantha . samantha : her time ? priscilla : there 's nothing you could have done for her . stephanie : well , no , there was n't . but i think samantha understands that . i think the dog was more than just a little puppy to her . it was more like -- like her baby . stephanie : i 'm sorry , sam . priscilla : it 's all right . i think we might just need a moment together . eric : of course -- of course . stephanie : priscilla , why do n't you stay for dinner ? priscilla : oh , that would be lovely . thank you very much . i 'm sure the waterworks will be turned off by then . wo n't they , darling ? thomas : i still do n't get it . caitlin : i know . neither do i. i mean , my dad knows how much fashion means to me . but , he still does n't want me working at forrester . thomas : that does n't make any sense . caitlin : i know . tell me about it . thomas : it 's got ta be personal . caitlin : well , he says he barely knows your family . thomas : stephanie recognized him . caitlin : he says that he used to play soccer against your dad in high school . thomas : like a million years ago . caitlin : yeah . that 's not it . thomas : do n't worry . we 'll figure it out . caitlin : thomas , he might not let me come back to forrester . thomas : but we can still see each other . we can still be friends . caitlin : yeah . i 'd like that . okay , um , i 'd better go . i 'll get grounded forever if i get caught sneaking out of the house . thomas : all right . samantha : you should n't have come . priscilla : stephanie told me you were in trouble . i could n't exactly say no . samantha : right . what would they think ? maybe the kelly 's are n't as perfect as they pretend to be . priscilla : do n't be like that . samantha : sad ? god forbid anyone should see me without a smile on my face . priscilla : is this the way you were acting in front of stephanie ? no wonder she was so concerned about you . samantha : are you ? priscilla : more than you know . i understand how much pucci meant to you . i have n't forgotten . samantha : but you 'd like to , would n't you ? priscilla : how many times do we have to do this ? year after year -- always the same argument . darling , you have to let it go . you have to get over it . samantha : i 'm not going to get over it . i will never get over it , mother ! and i do n't want you to ever say that to me again ! brooke : just the fourth floor ? when will the building inspector get here ? okay , thanks . well , it looks like there might be some structural damage to the third floor ceiling . and i wo n't know how bad it is , until the inspector checks it out . ridge : i 'll stick around . brooke : hmm . i think i 'm going to send everybody home . ridge : logan , you 're not hanging around here by yourself . brooke : i can handle it . ridge : you 're going to shut down over a busted pipe ? brooke : yes . i 'm not going to put my people at risk . i have a responsibility here . i 'm responsible for a lot more than that , are n't i ? this baby , nick -- ridge : logan , logan , logan , hey . i know i upset you earlier before deacon barged in . brooke : ridge , it 's okay . it 's not your fault . it 's just hard . ridge : i do n't want to make it any harder . for either of us . really , i do n't . i just ca n't stay away . i know i should . i 've tried . but it just feels so damn wrong . as much as it hurts to be with you -- it 's much worse being without you . brooke : i feel the same way . ridge : well , then what are we doing ? what are we doing ? you said you -- you said you want to be able to cope . you said you want to be strong . but you just do n't know what else to do . hey , why do n't we get away -- just the two of us -- and just have some time to ourselves , huh ? brooke : ridge , we ca n't do that . it 's not going to help . i mean , we are always going to have your brother 's baby coming between us . i 'm not going to cross that line . it 's killing me . but , i ca n't . deacon : wow ! you really do want to keep brooke and ridge apart , do n't you ? jackie : she 's having a baby with my son . deacon : whoa , whoa , whoa . that 's only according to the paternity test . jackie : which you could have thrown into doubt , but you did n't . deacon : yeah , you know what , do n't get too excited about that , all right ? brooke is in the middle of a crisis -- and it just did n't seem like the right time . jackie : there is never the right time -- to drop a bombshell like that on someone , especially on someone you claim to care about . deacon : you give me a couple of days , jackie . i 'm sure i 'll figure out a way to break it to her -- gently . jackie : i thought we had an understanding . deacon : what we have is a secret . and it 's one i 'm not so sure i want to keep . jackie : you do n't have to blackmail me . blackmail ? deacon : jackie , that 's such an ugly word . i 'm offering you -- my assistance . deacon : you 're going to have to forgive me if i seem a little skeptical . let me hip you to the abc 's of me -- nobody has ever given me anything -- anything in this life -- without it coming with a price . anything that 's of real value -- well , that 's got to be taken . jackie : i promise you -- you keep this secret for me , and you will be handsomely rewarded . deacon : that does seem like a pretty good deal for me . it 's just not so good for ridge and brooke . jackie : questioning the results now would just cause them pain . believe me , deacon . it 's better for everyone , if this never comes out . ridge : goodbye , logan . brooke : good - bye . | brooke asked deacon to her what he had to say . jackie made it sound as though he wanted to work at logan designs . brooke was not too keen on the idea . deacon made sure jackie knew he could still tell brooke about the paternity test . brooke and ridge found the visit from jackie and deacon very odd . jackie told deacon she could be a very good friend she 's very influential . she promised if he kept the secret he would be handsomely rewarded . |

[ scene_break ] oliver : you 're used to getting what you want , are n't you ? steffy : only it 's not gon na happen with you , is it ? oliver : no . i do n't like being put in that position . steffy : what ? having your arm twisted by a girl ? of course , the only girl you 're interested in is my stepsister . what 's the deal with you guys ? just so you know , um , if you 're thinking about getting involved , a little friendly word of warning -- hope 's a logan , and logans are trouble . oliver : in your totally unbiased opinion . steffy : i 'm just saying , if you 're into her , or you could be , just be prepared to share her with a bunch of guys . oliver : ( scoffs ) steffy : that 's a page out of the logan handbook . so you did n't tell me , are you guys an item , or ... oliver : no , not exactly . steffy : so i would n't be stepping on anything if i invited you over to my house for a swim ? oliver : seriously ? steffy : yeah . the pool 's like 90 . you would love it . oliver : sure . i 've always been interested in how the other half lives , especially the forresters . first there 's something i got ta do . steffy : cool . oliver : i know where it is . steffy : yeah . oliver : see ya soon . steffy : bye . and while you 're swimmin ' , i 'll be looking at that video .

( sighs ) now that being said , it would seem silly to get rid of the bedroom ' line . so we 're going to keep it . stephanie : well , you do n't have any say in this . you 're not an owner . brooke : but i am right . and ridge certainly knows that , do n't you , sweetie ? after all , you are c.e.o .

[ scene_break ] nick : love 's not a luxury , bridget . it 's not something you just pick and choose when you want it . it 's a life - or - death deal . and i choose to live . but i 'm not gon na be able to do that without you .

( chuckles ) bridget : okay , but -- but -- but really , if you could turn the clock back ... nick : i do n't want to turn the clock back because i like my life just the way it is . i really do . and no couple , believe me , no couple gets away without having problems . it 's kind of what you do with it , right ? i mean , have n't we found that out ? the only way to face 'em is together . i mean , look at us . i mean , really . i mean , what we 've survived together in the past and recently , i mean , really , would tear most marriages apart . but here we are , choosing to let go of the past , forgive and love one another and move forward . yes ? and nothing , nothing from our past is worth tearing us apart . bridget : ( whispering ) i love you so much . god , i love you so much . [ scene_break ] steffy : i 've got ta hand it to you . even i did n't think you 'd pull a stunt like this -- crashing the owners ' first meeting . brooke : it was n't a stunt . i just wanted to make sure th -- steffy : you continue to be a thorn in my mom 's and my grandmother 's side . they are the owners now . you and your sisters are not , something i made certain of . brooke : i know you do n't want me to be here anymore at forrester creations , but your father does . he knows the contributions that i 've made , and he respects me . steffy : so as a daughter , i should , too ? brooke : ( sighs ) would that be so impossible ? steffy : brooke , please , really , i do n't -- brooke : i am being sincere . i do n't want to battle with you . i want to love you . i want to have that kind of relationship that we used to have . steffy : as long as i stay out of your way , and hope 's , too , right ? brooke : forrester creations is big enough for the both of you , you and hope . steffy : hmm . brooke : and so is your father 's love . steffy : but ? brooke : but if you continue to keep up this feud between the two families , just know whatever you dish out i can take . so can donna and katie . but when it comes to my children , my own flesh and blood , you will not hurt them . you will leave hope alone . do you hear me ? steffy : we , uh , we 're clear . i hear you . steffy : ( exhales deeply ) do n't worry about hope . but if i 'm right , then it 's your other daughter you have to worry about . all i got ta do is get my hands on that video . if it is bridget and owen , as i suspect it is ... ( scoffs ) i own you , brooke . | oliver plays innocent as steffy grills him about the couple in the picture . it looked like bridget and owen making love although they are married to other people and would not do that . she invites him over for a swim that night . she gloats to herself that while he is swimming , she will be looking at the video . donna tries to sneak a lemon bar and pam puts the spritz on big stuff . she 's even going to fumigate the place of all the logan 's . ridge tells stephanie that he 's not going to be sucked into the turf war . brooke wonders if he changed his mind and is dropping the hope line or did someone else change it for him ? all eventually agree that hope will be busy her senior year and then interviewing colleges so her time at forrester could be cut down a bit . brooke is not happy when they discuss dropping the bedroom line . but she has ridge 's ear and playfully convinces him to keep it for now . stephanie and taylor walk out of the meeting . |

[ scene_break ] brooke : still no word . rick : you know babies . they come in their own sweet time . brooke : something you 'll experience not too long from now . rick : yeah , only my wife wo n't be delivering . her sister will be . brooke : and you 'll be just as nervous and excited . rick : i already am . and by the time that big day comes , i 'm gon na be a nervous wreck . brooke : i 'll bet ridge is pretty excited . rick : this is n't his first rodeo . he knows the drill . brooke : he helped deliver r.j . rick : good old ridge -- always there when you need him . it 's just too bad he 's never in it for the long haul . brooke : oh , sweetheart . rick : please , mom . do n't defend the guy . not after everything he 's put you through . brooke : i 've put him through things , too . but we 're different people now . he 's found something special with caroline . rick : yeah , so special he forgot to tell her about the vasectomy he had while he was in paris . i mean , who knows if he would have ever come clean if caroline did n't want a baby so bad . brooke : the point is he did everything to make sure they could have a child together . rick : not before it almost cost him his marriage . well , that , and a lot of unnecessary heartache for caroline . brooke : caroline has been really good for ridge . maybe if i 'd been a little bit more like her ... rick : mom , please . do n't sell yourself short . you 're an amazing woman . any man would be lucky to have you in his life . it 's not your fault that ridge has some sort of perpetual addiction to women . brooke : honey , he 's not like that anymore . rick : yeah , well , he 's still playing games . or least until he fessed up about that vasectomy . brooke : okay . ridge 's vasectomy is not public knowledge . i probably should n't have said anything . rick : and he probably should n't have kept caroline in the dark for so long , but that 's ridge -- always keeping secrets . [ scene_break ] bill : oh , you two need to get busy , as well . wyatt : busy with what ? bill : what do you mean , with what ? you put a ring on her finger . now get her to the altar so you can start , uh , working on the next spencer kid . oh , spencer - forrester , sorry . spencer - forrester . steffy : well , i 'm not sure i 'd call that work . wyatt : oh , i know i would n't call it work . bill : yeah , well , okay , whatever , all right ? just -- stop pussyfooting . do n't let any grass grow . do n't dillydally . katie : okay , i 'm gon na cut him off . steffy : yeah , please do . please . wyatt : did he just say `` dillydally `` ? katie : [ laughs ] wyatt : seriously ? katie : speaking of what you 're talking about , have you made any wedding plans yet ? wyatt : like where and when the ceremony 's gon na be ? steffy : we should probably figure that out . bill : i guess it wo n't be on a mountaintop is aspen , will it ? katie : bill ! wyatt : wow . katie : wow . wyatt : wow . katie : what 's going on ? steffy : no , no , no , it 's -- it 's fine . uh , that 's fine . no sense of just tiptoeing around it . um ... yeah , okay , i was married to liam , and now i 'm engaged to wyatt , but hey , things happen for a reason . wyatt : right . steffy : mm - hmm . katie : yep .

[ scene_break ] thomas : oh , come on . why did n't i get one of these growing up ? eric : that 's your grandmother 's handiwork . from very early on , she was convinced that ridge was going to follow in my footsteps . steffy : [ laughs ] show it to dad . he 'll get a kick out of that . eric : i know . thomas : i 'm sure both parents would get a kick of this . [ scene_break ] brooke : i will admit -- i was surprised when i learned about caroline 's pregnancy . especially because of ridge 's medical condition -- azo ... something or other . rick : i 've never heard of it . brooke : well , ridge did n't either until the doctor told him . anyway , most men would have given up if they heard that they could n't have children , but not ridge . he would n't be denied . and now look . ridge and caroline are having a baby .

steffy : liam did n't betray you . the kiss was planned . it was a manipulation . hope : so thomas told you to kiss liam , and you -- you just went along with it ? steffy : yeah . it was wrong , and i feel terrible . i -- i do n't know why i did it . my instincts took over . hate me if you want , hope , but i had to come clean . i had to tell you the truth . thomas : hope was really listening to you . you know , i think you affected her . how amazing would that be , the three of us a family ? douglas : four with beth . thomas : yeah . exactly . brooke : what about beth ? thomas : oh . nothing . she was just really tired , so we finally got her to sleep . brooke : well , i 'm here now , so ... thomas : okay . great . well , then we 'll get out of your hair . um , unless you have things to do . i mean , we could stay and watch her . brooke : no . i 'm very happy to stay with beth . besides , do n't you have things that you have to do to get ready for the big day ?

why ? shauna : best wishes , welcome to the family , lifetime of happiness . i heard that , uh , thomas ' wedding 's happening asap . ridge : yes , it is . tomorrow . it 's quite a relief . shauna : a relief ? ridge : well , as you know , thomas has been going through a bit of a rough time , but he 's coming out on the other end . he 's getting married to zoe . so that 's -- that 's a relief . and maybe some people will ... stop their suspicions . shauna : some people meaning brooke ? ridge : yeah . brooke . uh , brooke still does n't believe that thomas has moved on from hope . thomas : you 're right . big day tomorrow . long time in the making . brooke : right . let 's go with that . bill : hope . brooke . i -- brooke : bill . hi . bill : i asked at the main house . they told me you were down here . my main man ! how 's my favorite nephew ? hey , buddy , how you doing ? are you good ? douglas : yep . bill : are you positive ? you know what you need to do ? you need to ask this lo -- um , need to ask , uh , your mommy hope to bring you by to see me more often . how about that ?

is he supposedly getting married tomorrow ? brooke : yeah . to zoe . not that i believe that relationship is real . bill : why would you ? that diaper - wearing daddy 's boy has n't been honest about anything in his life . brooke : so you do n't believe him , either . bill : hell , no . anyone who does is a fool . liam : i called you as soon as steffy told me 'cause i wanted you to know right away . i want you to understand just how far thomas will actually go . he 's still lying to you . he is still manipulating you . steffy : thomas has n't moved on . he 's still obsessed with you . hope : well , he 's not the only one . steffy : excuse me ? hope : to not move on ? steffy : i 'm sorry . i -- hope : sorry for what , steffy , that you did n't trap me in a gondola this time ? liam : whoa . hope . thomas is the one who -- hope : forget about thomas . if you want to talk about lies , if you want to talk about manipulations , i ... am looking at the master . tired of clean clothes that just do n't smell clean ? shauna : do you think , if this wedding happens , that broke will still have her doubts about thomas ? ridge : i do n't know why she should . she promised that if thomas moved on , if he married zoe , that she would accept him for who he is , maybe even forgive him . she gave me her word on that . but after what happened today , i 'm not sure that she 's capable of doing that . shauna : sorry . i can see how disappointed you are . hang in there . maybe brooke means what she says . i have a feeling this wedding tomorrow is gon na change everything . brooke : i want to believe thomas . bill : and i want to believe in the tooth fairy , but reality steps in . brooke : yeah , but it would be so much easier , you know , if ridge was right and thomas really was moving on from hope . bill : guess you 'll find out tomorrow . brooke : yeah . maybe thomas will prove us wrong and he will get married to zoe , and then i 'll be relieved 'cause i 'll be able to tell ridge that he was right . bill : tooth fairy , brooke . tooth fairy . brooke : i know . how do you do it ? bill : hmm ? brooke : how do you make me smile , even in the worst of times ? bill : oh . well , is n't it good to know that there are some talents you never lose ? brooke : yeah . well , i appreciate it . and i appreciate you . and i really have been feeling lonely , being the only voice of reason . bill : you 're never alone , brooke . i 'm here for you . i 'll support you . whatever happens at that wedding tomorrow , you 're got a friend in me . vinny : you really think hope will stop it ? thomas : yeah . douglas played his part well , ah , begging her to marry me , making us a family again . vinny : you sound confident . i 'll give you that much . thomas : well , how 's this for confident ? i already designed hope 's wedding dress . vinny : you mean zoe 's , right ? thomas : no . i mean hope 's . uh , i made one for zoe , too . it 's fine . but the one i designed for hope , that one i 'm proud of . i told everyone it 's for hope for the future , but in reality it 's for when we get married again . zoe : married again ? [ chuckles ] thomas , what are you talking about ? thomas : uh , vinny , i got to -- i got to go . i 'll , uh , i 'll call you tomorrow . [ beep ] zoe : so who 's getting , uh , married again ? thomas : [ chuckles ] you , um , you ruined the surprise . we are . well , unless you think it 's just way too cheesy , but tomorrow 's ceremony 's gon na be great , but it 's really for -- for friends and family . i was thinking maybe we could do something a little more intimate , just the two of us , maybe like a renewal of vows on the beach on our honeymoon . zoe : [ laughs ] cheesy ? no . i , uh , love it . thomas : great . awesome . steffy : hope , i am truly sorry . i take full responsibility in my part in that misunderstanding . yes , i got caught up in the moment in that kiss . you can forgive me or not , but you have to forgive liam . this is n't his fault . he was innocent . he was manipulated by thomas and by me . he loves you , hope . you have to forgive liam . you have to . as a caricature artist , ridge : have you always been this way ? shauna : uh , what way ? ridge : glass half full kind of person . shauna : [ chuckles ] well , yeah . what kind of crazy person would want to be a glass half empty ? ridge : not me . but some people thrive on it . shauna : are we talking about brooke again ? ridge : yeah . i just -- i do n't remember her ever being so ... pessimistic about things , you know ? i just do n't -- i do n't know where she went . shauna : if you two are meant to be together , you 're gon na be together . and brooke is so lucky to have you -- your -- your love , your commitment . and i do n't care if she 's a glass half empty person or not . she knows a man like you only comes around once in a lifetime , so do n't you forget that . and do n't forget how special and hot you are . brooke : you 're a good man , bill spencer . bill : will you keep that down ? i 've got a reputation to protect . brooke : my lips are sealed . bill : hmm . brooke : now , i know that you 're busy and you 've got a lot going on , but i appreciate that you would want to stop by and check on me and make sure that i 'm okay . bill : i 'll always look out for you . you do know that , do n't you ? brooke : i do . bill : good . i mean , just because we 're not together anymore does n't mean that i do n't still , uh ... i do n't still care about you . i want to know you 're okay , that you 're happy . we did n't do marriage well , and i 'll never ... understand why . but we did a damn good job of taking care of each other , and i 'll take care of you until the day i die . you got it ? brooke : got it . zoe : so , uh , vinny 's not gon na take you out tonight ? you know , for , like , a little bachelor party or something before you 're tied down to the old ball and chain ? thomas : yeah . uh , no . no , no , no , no , no . i do n't want to show up hung over . tomorrow 's too important of a day . zoe : good . well , in that case , i will be meeting with your grandfather and quinn , just to talk over some various details , so if you have any input , feel free to join . my only input is ... whatever my bride wants , my bride gets . zoe : [ chuckles ] thomas , zoe : [ chuckle ] steffy : please , hope , you have to forgive liam . hope : i do n't have to do anything you say . steffy : he was manipulated . hope : yeah , i 'm beginning to get that . you and your brother teaming up once again . steffy : that 's not how it is . i wanted to believe in my brother . i wanted to believe that he was over you and he was moving on with zoe . yes , it took time , but then i finally -- i finally started to believe . hope : until he called you and told you to kiss liam when i showed up . i mean , did that clue you in ? steffy : i wanted to trust my brother . i wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt . liam : guys , we need to tell zoe about this . steffy : yeah , we do . i do n't know if she 's gon na be receptive , but we have to stop this wedding . and you two need to get back on track . you now know the kiss was n't what you thought . liam : hope , look at me . forget all that . we can be a family again , a family with beth and ... a family with douglas . these are real people , not actors , brooke : it 's just so hard to believe that so many people are willing to look the other way . bill : it makes me freakin ' sick , brooke . i mean , this entire family of clowns is to blame . every single one of them burying their heads in the sand . and ridge is the worst offender . after what thomas did to your daughter , terrorizing her all those months , and this is how he 's treating you ? i mean , it ma -- all right . uh , i 'm not gon na go there . i 'm just sorry that you 've been feeling so alone . and if there 's anything i can do to help take that loneliness away , you let me know . brooke : i -- you 're already doing it , bill . it 's been hard , you know . i just want to be there for my daughter , and i want to protect her . i want to help her through this , and it 's ... i just worry about her , bill . bill : well , of course you do . thomas is a monster . so i really want you to hear me . if ridge will not protect you and your daughter from thomas , i will . if you need me , i 'm here for you . hope : you mean that ? douglas , too ? liam : yeah . steffy : be a family . the two of you , beth , and douglas . hope : what about thomas ? steffy : thomas will always be douglas ' father . but my nephew need stability . thomas ca n't offer that , but you two can . the love you two share , it can get through anything . liam : hope . i 'm sorry that i hurt you when i kissed steffy . that is on me . hey , i proposed to you before that kiss , remember ? i meant every word , and i still do . i -- [ chuckles ] -- i 'm not giving this up . i will keep proposing to you . i will propose to you day after day after day until you say yes because we deserve this . we deserve a family -- a four - member family -- you , me , beth , douglas . we can take thomas down , and then we can protect douglas . we can have that . , you just have to say you 'll do it with me . hope : what are you asking ?

( scoffs ) come on , ridge . of course that 's an ideal situation . they 're on a private jet . she may have been in her lounging pajamas . i do n't know . but this is exactly what i tried to tell you would happen , and it has . ridge : so all this because of the taboo line ? taylor : you know , ridge , really , it 's sad anyway that -- that forrester creations is -- is making a profit from -- from brooke 's disgracing of the whole forrester family . it 's wrong anyway . if anything , this whole thing is encouraging brooke . what is she going to do to top herself next ? ridge : okay so what do you propose ? taylor : i think you should drop the taboo line . that 's the only thing i can think of . i know that thomas would be upset , but i really think it 's the only way to stop this thing from escalating . pull the line , ridge . pull the line today .

[ scene_break ] steffy : i ca n't believe this . thomas : well , i thought i 'd tell you before mom put her own spin on it . steffy : she 's a psychiatrist i think i 'll trust her version . thomas : steffy , come on . steffy : oh , it 's bad enough that you would kiss brooke , the woman who 's caused so much pain for us over the years . god , thomas , she is dad 's wife . what the hell were you thinking ? look , i do n't know what she 's doin you or how she -- thomas : she 's not making me do anything , steffy . there 's no black magic here , no logan curse . give me a little credit . steffy : ( sighs ) thomas : i 'd also appreciate a little support from my sister for once . is that too much to ask ? [ scene_break ] stephanie : taylor . ( chuckles ) i - i do n't know what you want me to say . taylor : ( sighs ) that i 'm right , because you know i am . stephanie : are you sure thomas was n't just trying to get you all riled up ? taylor : thomas did n't even know i was there . he had no idea that i had walked up on the conversation . stephanie : well , when he told you this -- i mean , are you sure -- it just seems to me there 's got to be something more . m - m - maybe it 's something that he did . taylor : well , it 's always so easy to blame the man , is n't it ? it 's always their fault that they find brooke just so beautifully seductive . but i 'm gon na tell you something . it 's something you told me -- that brooke is the one in control here . she knows exactly what she 's doing . and then she leaves these poor men feeling like they lost control a - and they just let it happen . i have no idea why ridge even puts up with her . i - i have no idea why he even stayed with her after what she did with oliver . seriously , i do n't know how she talked her way out of that , but somehow she did and ridge forgave her . but i - i just do n't see that happening this time , because this has to do with his son , and she has asked for forgiveness one too many times . [ scene_break ] ridge : i keep convincing myself that it 'll be different , that you 've learned from whatever the latest scandal is , that you understand you just ca n't keep secrets , yet you continue to do it . if you ca n't confide in your husband , even if you 're an innocent participant , then something is seriously wrong here . brooke : i regret not telling you , ridge . i just thought it would be better if i did n't make it such a big deal . ridge : you knew my concerns about thomas , about the taboo line . as my wife , my partner , his stepmother , how could you not have told me ? hiding these feelings that he 's having , allowing me to think that he 's actually interested in dayzee ... brooke : well , he is . he is interested in her . he 's not interested in me , definitely not that way . and i think that kiss made him realize that . ridge : somehow i doubt that . somehow i think taylor may have been right . brooke : taylor this is all because of her , you know . she kept saying over and over and over again that something was going to happen between me and thomas . you put that out in the universe so many times , and it 's going to happen . what did she expect ? she painted me like i was some kind of forbidden fruit , and thomas wanted to take a bite . okay , look , i ... ( sighs ) i do n't think it was anything . i - i think it may have been a kiss of appreciation . it was a small , little kiss , and i - it was done and over within seconds . i did n't tell you , and that 's where i went wrong . i should have come to you right away , but thomas asked me not to say anything . ridge : well , you should n't have listened to him , not when you know the importance i place on honesty . you promised me no more secrets . brooke , i had a right to now . brooke : i know . i do n't mean to blame thomas . i 'm older and wiser , and i take full responsibility for not coming to you and telling you about that . ridge : why would you possibly think that it would be okay to keep something like that to yourself ? brooke : because i did n't want to hurt you , ridge . i did n't want to upset you and i - i did n't want to jeopardize our relationship or -- or the relationship that you have with your son . and i did n't want you to think that i had led him on somehow . ridge : i would never think that . brooke : everybody else does . ridge : who , you mean taylor ? brooke : yes . ( sighs ) ridge : look , logan , you have the warmest smile , the cutest personality of anybody . the way you giggle , the way you speak -- it has an effect on many men . all right ? taylor knows that . that 's why she was concerned maybe her constant warnings did plant a seed in thomas 's head . i do n't know . all i do know -- that he 's -- if he 's kissing you , it means that he 's been affected , too , by you . you know , he 's a chemical , passionate young man working in an industry where we create electricity , where we thrive on sexual energy . that 's exactly why i needed to be told what happened . when you withhold that kind of information from me , it causes me to make the wrong decisions , not just as a father , but also as the c.e.o . of this damn company . it 's really frustrating that you feel loyalty to him to protect his little secret kiss when you should have felt a much bigger loyalty to me , your husband . logan , i love you , but you know how i feel . brooke : i know . a - and i know i should have come to you right away about this . i just ... i did n't want to make it a big deal . ridge : ( sighs ) brooke : i - i just thought it was kind of innocent . and i was worried about how you would react , and , like i said i did n't want to hurt our relationship or the relationship that you have with your son . not telling you was a mistake . i should have gone to you right away , ridge . i do realize that . can you forgive me ? ( sighs ) ridge , do n't look at me that way . i ... really , it was not a big deal . just tell me that you forgive me . | taylor tells ridge that she knows this is shocking , but thomas and brooke were kissing on the airplane on the way back from paris . he does n't want to believe it , but she fills him in on the details and thinks the only way to stop all of this is to pull the taboo line today . thomas tells brooke they need to pre- empt this and to tell his dad right now . if taylor is already telling him , then let her rant and they will go in and calmly explain what happened . he appreciates brooke 's concern , but he will be fine . he knows how to handle his dad . he runs into steffy first who sees his foul mood and demands that he spill what is wrong . taylor rushes to stephanie 's office and relays her news to her . she does n't know how brooke will talk her way out of this . |

[ scene_break ] nicole : thanks again for helping me get acclimated . otherwise , i would have been wandering around all night , trying to find the linen closet . ivy : oh . well , you have to be careful , because your sister is very protective of her towels . aly : and she really does n't like to share . frankly , i 'm kind of surprised she asked you to stay here . nicole : rick actually extended the invitation . i think maya was cool with it , though . ivy : hmm . nicole : mind if i ask a question ? trying to get a lay of the land . aly : sure . be my guest . nicole : is rick really in love with my sister ?

[ scene_break ] nicole : was that inappropriate ? it 's just he 's rick forrester -- gorgeous , rich , successful . he was married to caroline spencer , who 's , like , everything , but he chooses my sister ? aly : so , you do n't like maya ? nicole : do n't really know her . maya 's been gone from home a long time . rick thinks if i 'm around , there 's a chance for us to bond . he 's really generous , do n't you think ? ivy : yeah . well , uh , he can be . nicole : anyway , i figured , `` why not ? `` maybe us living together will work some magic or something . we 'll see . i 'm just happy to be here in this beautiful house with my big sister .

[ scene_break ] quinn : do you know what brooke had the nerve to say to me ? that she was surprised that you did n't dump me the minute you found out that i slapped her stupid face . and she also told me that i might as well take my engagement ring off because she forbids us from ever getting married -- forbids us ! who even says that ? ! deacon : quinn , who cares what brooke says ? come on , baby . we 're getting married . that 's all that matters . look , i get why you 're upset . i really do . i mean , admittedly , brooke is not the most diplomatic person around , and she , you know , ca n't stand you , but you could be the bigger person . quinn : i am the bigger person . deacon : come on . all i 'm saying is just cut her some slack . she 's going through a rough patch . quinn : cut her some slack ? please . what happened ? did she break a perfectly manicured nail ? deacon : i told you she 's been drinking -- enough to cause me concern . quinn : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] brooke : oh , i 'm sorry that it 's come to divorce . wyatt : yeah . well , the miscarriage changed everything for hope and me . it did n't help that my mother was indirectly involved . i lost hope that very day . it took me a while to realize it . look , i , uh ... i just -- i got to move on with my life , you know ? whatever that is without her . brooke : it 's hard when you 're adrift , losing your place , not knowing how or where to fit in . wyatt : you really get it , do n't you ? brooke : welcome to my life . [ scene_break ] quinn : well , that 's a look i 've grown to intensely dislike . how does brooke have this control over men ? deacon : i told you , it 's not like that . look , i 'm concerned about her . quinn : yeah . you 've made that abundantly clear . i do n't want to talk about brooke anymore ! deacon : i told you she 's been drinking , and that 's never been her thing . yeah , she 'll have a glass of wine here and there , but , i mean , she 's throwing back vodka like a cossack . quinn : yeah . well , you know , i 'm sure it 's a phase and she 'll get over it next time she snares another guy -- not my guy . deacon : okay , look -- maybe i am a little hypersensitive to that , but there 's a reason . i know the signs , all right ? i 've had my own problems with alcohol . the fact that i just said it in the past tense -- it means that i still do . it 's called `` denial . `` see , here 's the thing about me . i can drink for a long time before , you know , it starts to show , before the blackouts and the self- destructive behavior , the rage ... but i 'm an alcoholic . quinn : i - i did n't realize ... deacon : high - functioning , i mean , but , you know , all the same . baby , we 're getting -- we 're getting married . we 're starting a life together . and i want to give this the best shot possible . and in order for me to do that , i got to be clean .

[ scene_break ] maya : i ca n't tell you how much your faith sustains me . but i still ca n't help but wonder ... when everyone was telling you what a bad idea i was ... why did n't you listen ? rick : because they do n't know you . they ca n't speak to who you are ... your honesty , your integrity . only i can do that because you show me every day through your actions and your -- your unwavering support . heck ... you 're about the best idea i 've ever had . maya : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] deacon : i tried aa a couple times . it did n't -- i do n't know . it never took for me . quinn : but you kept going back ? deacon : you never know . i mean , it can work , you know , if you 're in the right place to make the commitment and work the program . one thing i 've learned is that people change for two reasons -- love and fear . and i know i love you , but i 'm also scared that i 'm gon na blow this whole thing if i do n't get clean . i 'm -- i 'm better ... when i 'm clean . believe me -- if there 's a way , i 'll figure out a way to sabotage this if i 'm drinking , and i do n't want to do that . quinn : well , i - i certainly understand that unfortunate tendency . deacon : so , tomorrow i 'm gon na go to a meeting . quinn : okay . right . well , do what you need to do . just know that ... i got you , however you come .

cafe ruse -- you left very quickly , by the way -- jackie : it was just business , nick . just business -- and nothing to talk about , really . it 's all under control . tell me , why did you ask me here ? and please , if it 's to do with cleaning -- i do n't do floors . i do n't do windows . nick : i know , mother . actually , this is something a bit more conspiratory . jackie : oh ? it sounds very intriguing . gon na get me into trouble . nick : would you have it any other way ?

sally : those are the keys . to that interesting office space you provided for us . we 're not going to be needing them anymore . we 're quitting . eric : you 're quitting ? stephanie : because of deacon ? rick : you do n't need him , amber -- not with sally 's know - how and your talent . sally : look , i know we could try working together . we could , for example , take amber 's designs , and make some adjustments , make them more to your liking . but , what would be the point of that ? i learned a long time ago that it is a fruitless thing to try and keep forcing a square peg into a round hole . eric : so , you do n't think you belong here ? sally : be honest , eric . you never really wanted this company , anyway . it was just a means to an end for you . amber : we 're a burden to you , rick -- it 's the last thing i ever wanted to be . rick : you 're sure about this ? amber : we think it 's best for everyone . rick : can we at least give them a severance package , or something , dad ? amber : yeah , i ca n't speak for sally , but i think i 've taken enough from your family , as is . sally : and you better save your money , eric . you may need it when i get back on my game and start stealing your customers away from you again . stephanie : this is a rash decision . there has to be a way to work this out . sally : amber and i have made up our minds . stephanie : even if i ask you to stay ? samantha : did i embarrass you , mother ? did i ruin your perfect little world ? priscilla : you see nothing wrong in what you 've done ? samantha : i was in pain . i needed to get it out . priscilla : after all these years ? samantha : years of lie after lie . priscilla : they served their purpose . samantha : they served your purpose . priscilla : you would have rather stayed in los angeles , while all our friends and neighbors looked down their nose at a teenage girl who did n't know any better than to get herself pregnant ? samantha : it would have been better than the shame i felt covering it up . priscilla : easy for you to say now . you made a mistake -- a foolish mistake -- but , you should be grateful that your father and i were able to help you . samantha : help me ? my baby died ! priscilla : yes . that was a tragedy . but you have to admit you went on and made a wonderful life for yourself . do you think you could 've become a renowned interior designer while caring for a child ? you were free to pursue your dream , darling . samantha : that only became my dream after i lost my child . priscilla : you say that as if you have no pride in what you 've accomplished . when here i am practically bursting whenever i see your work somewhere in the world . samantha : you 're incredible . priscilla : what do you mean ? samantha : it 's all about appearances with you , is n't it ? as long as it looks good on the outside , it does n't matter if you 're falling apart in here . priscilla : samantha , stop being so dramatic . samantha : no , i 'm being honest . like i should have been a long time ago . go on ! go to the airport . get as far away from me and the humiliation i have caused you as you can . nick : now , pay attention . because your participation is going to make or break this whole thing . jackie : ooh , the pressure -- the pressure . nick : first thing i need you to do is to go over to brooke 's house . jackie : brooke 's house . nick : i want you to make sure that marta or rick or somebody is available to watch her little girl , hope , for the evening . jackie : okay . and -- nick : and , that 's it . jackie : that 's it ? that is my pivotal role in this ? nick : it 's important because i want to make sure that brooke 's mind is free for the entire evening . jackie : hmm , what are you going to be doing ? nick : i 'm not telling you . jackie : oh , nicky , please . nick : i 'm not telling you . jackie : i 'm your mother . nick : that 's why i 'm not telling you . jackie : you are no fun ! nick : sorry . the point is for brooke to have some fun . jackie : mm - hmm . i 'm sure she 's going to have a lovely time . no matter what you do . nick : there 's one problem , though . jackie : hmm ? nick : she has n't agreed to go . jackie : hmm ? nick : yet . jackie : so , brooke has n't actually said yes to this arrangement , yet ? nick : no , no . she does n't know anything about the -- the arrangement . jackie : you have n't asked her ? nick : no . i just thought i 'd get her over to the boat , and everything would just take care of itself -- i hope . jackie : if she has any idea of what 's good for her , she 'll let her hair down and just concentrate on having a good time . nick : exactly . well put , mother . i just want to inject a little fun into the situation . jackie : something that 's been in short supply with ridge . nick : this whole situation has completely drained everyone . brooke 's head 's been spinning -- she looks over her shoulder , waiting for the next shoe to drop , constantly . jackie : she certainly does . nick : mother , you know that my heart goes out to forrester . but brooke 's having my child . and that 's what counts . jackie : it 's worth fighting for . brooke : oh , nick , sorry i 'm late . nick : hey -- brooke : oh , jackie ! i did n't know you 'd be here . jackie : well , actually , i am just leaving . i have something rather important to take care of . brooke : is everything all right ? jackie : it will be . if you say yes to absolutely everything that nicky asks of you . bye ! brooke : what was that all about ? [ sighs ] nick : well , you know my mother . that was her subtle way of asking you to spend a little time with me . brooke : oh . so , that 's why you asked me here ? nick : i got everything covered . hope -- marta 's watching her . and as far as your work at the office -- brooke : you did n't cause the flood , did you ? nick : what flood ? brooke : a water main broke yesterday . it 's probably going to take days to clean up . nick : really ? so , you have the whole evening free ? brooke : well , it looks that way . nick : well , and i . it 's time for us to do a little sailing . priscilla : you know how i hate to see you cry . the reason i did n't want you talking about what happened so many years ago -- it has nothing to do with protecting my reputation . samantha : why else would it matter so much to you ? priscilla : you were so devastated when you lost your baby . i never even thought you would pull through . i hated to watch you dredge it up again -- samantha : dredge -- dredge what up ? dredge my anger ? is that it -- you 're afraid i 'm going to take my anger out on you ? priscilla : times were different then , darling . your father and i did what we thought was best for you . samantha : maybe if you 'd taken me someplace else , instead of that clinic -- priscilla : in those days , you did n't take a fine girl in your condition to a prominent manhattan hospital . we took you to the best clinic that we could find . would it help if i apologized to you ? because i am so sorry that you went through what you did . samantha : all the apologies in the world are n't going to bring back my daughter . priscilla : samantha , try not to let this consume you , darling . samantha : you 've got a plane to catch , remember ? priscilla : call me ? i just want to know you 're all right . samantha : good - bye . sally : boy , oh boy , oh boy , highness -- you 're really putting the pressure on me , are n't you ? stephanie : because it 's the wrong decision . it 's a cold world out there . sally : i know . but , unfortunately , i have too much self - respect to be the kind of guest who stays too long at the party . sally : guest ? sally , you 're not a guest -- you 're family . eric : and so are you , amber -- no matter what 's happened between you and rick . rick : look , if you leave , how are you going to get by ? what 're you going to live on ? amber : my pride . i 've been without it for a time . it 'll be nice to have it back again . and , who knows ? maybe it 'll lead me into a new job -- you know , something that i can really shine at . eric : what are you talking about ? you 've been a wonderful designer for us . amber : back when i had inspiration . you know what it 's like to lose that . eric : i know what it 's like to get it back again , too . i hope that 'll happen for you , amber . rick : we all do . sally : hey , you know what , i really got ta beat it out of here -- all these hearts and flowers and sentimental stuff , you know . they 're going to start the waterworks , and it 's gon na wash away all this swell makeup i got on my face . eric : sally -- sally : hmm ? eric : our door is always open to you . stephanie : remember that . sally : and you remember -- that if ever you need a swell new hairdo , you know to call . amber : stephanie , thank you . eric , thank you . for everything you guys have given to me . rick , ah -- sally : come on , honey , we 've got to get going . you know what ? i just heard about a new employment agency , where they handle artistic types like us and i think we ought to drop in and see 'em right now . and you know what else ? that employment agency happens to be right next door -- to the friendliest irish pub in town . perfect . good luck . brooke : what do you mean , do a little sailing ? nick : nothing big -- just like a little evening excursion . a little three - hour tour . brooke : three - hour tour . nick : uh - huh . brooke : you know what happened last time a ship went out on a three - hour tour . nick : well , yeah , that 's an old story . that 's not us , though . you know , some people are meant to live the rest of their lives marooned on an island together . brooke : i do n't think that means us . nick : well , there 's one way to find out . we ca n't keep paddling in the same place , brooke . you 've got to move on . otherwise , people are going to keep getting hurt . and you know what i 'm talking about . what about this child we 're bringing into the world , huh ? you do n't want him starting his life with his future up for grabs . now , look . i 'm going to be straight with you . i 'm asking you . give us a chance . i believe in my heart that there 's something to be had here . your son , rick thinks the same thing , by the way . brooke : rick ? nick : yeah . he came by to see me at the boat and challenged me -- said , `` you ought to get off your butt , and make an honest woman of her . `` brooke : well , that sounds like my son . nick : he said he missed out on having two parents around -- and he did n't want the same for his little brother . he also has the idea that i 'm good for his mom . the question is , what do you think ? there 's a whole ocean of possibilities out there . and i want to help give 'em to you . let me take you there . let it happen . | eric and stephanie discussed priscilla and samantha . priscilla woke samantha from a bad dream to tell her she was leaving . priscilla was very upset samantha told the forrester 's about the family secret . samantha and her mother talked about their issues ( and i hate to say this , but i could n't care less about this story : i do n't know these people ) . |
nick : i ca n't really believe you have to ask me this . bridget : i do . i just need to know that you want to be with me more than any other woman , including my mom . nick : have i done something to make you think that i still have feelings for your mother ? bridget : no , no . nick : well , then why would you bring this up now like this ? bridget : because we 're getting more serious . right ? nick : right . bridget : and -- and that 's great . and as much as i just really want to give into it , i have to go into this with my eyes wide open . nick : but , bridget , you ca n't -- bridget : i know , i know . there 's -- there 's no way to know where this relationship is headed . we could be in this for the long haul , or maybe not . that 's fine . i just ca n't handle falling for another man that 's in love with my mom . nick : come here . now , your mother is married to ridge . they 're raising a family together . bridget : i know , but that does n't mean that you do n't still have feelings for her . i should know . i was married to deacon when he slept with my mom . nick : well , i 'm not deacon . bridget : but you are human . and i could n't blame you if you still had a thing for her . but i 'm not her . i 'm conservative and a thinker . i -- take tonight , for instance , we 're on this romantic date , and here i am -- i 've turned this into a heavy discussion . nick : and there 's no place that i would rather be . bridget : i do n't doubt that . i 'm just -- i 'm just thinking beyond this moment and saving us a lot of pain in the future . so , please , just look into your heart and be honest with me . what if my mom was sitting across from you , right now ? would there still be a part of you that wanted her and wanted to be with her ? [ scene_break ] massimo : jacqueline , what is it ? jackie : oh , i just ca n't believe that my portrait is still there . massimo : oh , yeah , well , there were times i wanted to use it as a dartboard . jackie : i would n't blame you if you 'd chopped it up and burned it . thank you for this evening . massimo : it 's just dinner . jackie : no , it 's not just dinner . for me , it 's much more than that . being back here , where we spent so many wonderful times as a family . before it all went wrong . you know , sometimes i just ca n't face the pain that i must have caused nicky and you . massimo : oh , i do n't see any sense in rehashing that . we 've all moved on , including dominick . oh , speaking of which , do you know that he is seeing bridget forrester ? [ scene_break ] caitlin : that is unbelievable , even for amber . thomas : yeah . tell me about it . caitlin : to go to such lengths , all just to win you back . i mean , seriously , trapping your dad and your stepsister like that . thomas : my dad said amber was bad news , but i could n't see it . it makes me sick . caitlin : sometimes i think that we see what we want to see . i mean , i know it was that way with me and rick . well , i 'm just sad that it took something this awful for you to realize that amber 's not the right one for you . though , i 'm glad that you finally did . thomas : are you now ? caitlin : looks like we 've both took our walks on the wild side . thomas : more like tripped and fell . caitlin : yeah , well , at least it gave us time to grow up a little and see if maybe this is where we belong after all . thomas : with each other , you mean ? caitlin : well , yeah . oh , god . here i go again , thinking our relationship 's more than it actually is . are n't i ? caitlin : i have no one to blame but myself . thomas : for what ? caitlin : for you moving on . thomas : `` moving on `` ? wait , wait a second . caitlin : if i had seen you for who you truly are , then i would have never gotten together with rick , and who knows , maybe we 'd still be together . thomas : uh - huh . and what did n't you see back then that you see now ? caitlin : well , for starters , you 're really thoughtful . i mean , you remembered my favorite drink since the first day we met . thomas : nonfat latte , two sugars . caitlin : yeah . and you can always make me laugh , even when i 've had a really bad day . and i love your smile . thomas : my smile ? hmm . caitlin : yeah . it 's -- why am i telling you all this ? thomas : i do n't know . caitlin : okay . look , my point is , it 's sad that we wasted all that time , because i had a good thing in front of me and i did n't see it . thomas : you 're right . we 've got to stop wasting time . [ scene_break ] massimo : you do n't like bridget ? jackie : oh , no , no , it 's not that . she 's a lovely young woman . massimo : i agree . jackie : it 's just that she 's brooke 's daughter . massimo : i thought you adored brooke . jackie : i do . and so does nicky . massimo , has n't it occurred to you that he may be transferring his feelings from brooke to her daughter ? massimo : honestly ? no . jackie : well , it seems quite obvious to me . massimo : jacqueline , i think our son is pretty much a straight shooter . he does n't play those kind of games . jackie : no , no , not intentionally . but the heart can play very strange tricks on you . i do n't think nicky is aware of what he 's doing . massimo : i think he 's faced up to those facts long ago . however he may have felt about brooke once , he realizes now that she 's lost to him . jackie : massimo , there will always be a connection there . massimo : huh - uh . brooke and ridge are committed to each other , as they should be . i do n't think that 's going to change no matter what you believe or want . so i suggest that you accept it and move on . dominick obviously has . [ scene_break ] nick : bridget , your mother means a lot to me . she 's -- she was the first woman i ever loved . i mean , if you can imagine that , having a first love at my age , but it was . bridget : she knocked down a lot of walls that other women could n't , right ? nick : let 's not forget the main point . and that main point is , we thought we were going to have a child , and i changed . bridget : because of her ? nick : well , that 's pretty powerful , thinking you 're going to bring a new life in the world like that . now , we know how it ended up . but the bond that your mother and i shared , that did n't go away . and i do n't imagine it ever will . bridget : i appreciate your honesty . nick : well , you deserve it , always . bridget : i mean , it 's definitely better to get this out now , before i really fall for you . nick : well , you did n't really let me finish , by the way . bridget : oh , i heard what you -- i know what you said . nick : well , i know what i said , too . i said your mother and i have a bond , a friendship . but that does n't compare for what i feel for you . bridget : are you sure ? nick : oh , i do know what i 'm sure of . i know that when i go to sleep at night , i 'm thinking about you . and when i wake up in the morning , i 'm thinking about you . you 're the smartest , most compassionate , most direct woman i 've ever met . and you may call yourself -- what was it ? -- a thinker , right ? but i find that sexy as hell . bridget : you do ? nick : mm - hmm . and while i 'm at it , one more thing . there is no place or no one i would rather be with right now , including your mother . bridget : you mean that ? nick : yeah . [ scene_break ] thomas : i 've been wanting to do that for a long , long time . maybe even longer than i realized . except i just got caught up in that whole amber thing . caitlin : yeah . amber . thomas : what about her ? caitlin : okay . this may be a stupid question , but what if you 're on the rebound ? thomas : what ? you 've got to be joking . after everything she did ? caitlin : okay , i know . but what about before ? i mean , you guys were really tight . and i know it was n't just about the sex thing . you really cared about her , did n't you ? thomas : yeah , yeah . i thought i could see the real amber . the amber nobody else could see . but now -- i do n't know . was that just an act ? or am i just stupid ? caitlin : no , you 're not stupid . but if it was an act , i think even amber believed it . thomas : the point is , the girl that i loved , or i thought i did , disappeared a long time ago . and i do n't know how it happened , or how i 'm supposed to feel about amber now -- but honestly ? i 'm just glad she 's gone . hey . that 's the brooch i gave you . caitlin : yeah . yeah , i is . i wear it all the time . thomas : oh . i have a confession to make . i actually bought that for you a long time ago , way before the whole rick thing ever happened . caitlin : really ? thomas : yeah , yeah . and i just held onto it . i thought about throwing it away , but i think there 's a part of me that knew this was n't over . no matter how hard i tried , i could never stop caring about you . caitlin : and here we are . thomas : oh , and just so we make this clear , i do n't intend to let you go this time . caitlin : ever .

'cause i 'd like to ask you a question . bridget : yeah , ask me anything you want . nick : how do you feel about forrester ? bridget : you 're not seriously asking me if i still have feelings for ridge , are you ? nick : well , i think that 's fair , do n't you ? bridget : well , yeah . i -- i guess i 'm just shocked that a man like you would have even a smidgen of insecurity . nick : caution . i like to call it caution . bridget : okay . whatever . yeah , i can be as honest with you as you were with me . you know , i ca n't deny that i had strong feelings for ridge , but i -- i just -- i 'm not sure that i knew what those feelings were . i was really confused back then . i was just lost when i was saved . just felt the world go by when breath blew back and on the other side was some sailor skirting foreign waters . `` emily dickinson . nick : oh . of course , i should have known . bridget : it 's about a drowning woman that was saved by a very handsome sailor . nick : `` handsome `` ? bridget : well , that 's just my interpretation . nick : oh , i like this poem of yours . bridget : what i 'm trying to say , in my own weird way , is that it was you that rescued me from that mess . you . your guidance and your strength and you charted a new course for me . and i have n't looked back since . nick : not even a peek ? bridget : no . i 'm way too busy with this handsome sailor in front of me . nick : speaking of charting courses -- not to change the subject , but because i gave you this necklace -- bridget : oh , mm - hmm . nick : will you tell me where we 're going ? bridget : oh , no . nick : please , i do need to know . i want to know . i have to know . bridget : oh , come on , captain , you 're armed with more persuasive powers than that , are n't you ? nick : you think ?

( sighs ) i 'm so sorry to disappoint you . you do forgive me , do n't you ? ridge : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] stephanie : it just does n't make any sense . brooke just turns around and -- well , i mean , just all of a sudden , kisses tom ? taylor : well , actually , it was the other way round . brooke was asleep . stephanie : what ? taylor : well , think about it . can you imagine her on the private jet after the big glorious week of -- of p.r . in -- in paris , and she 's all sprawled out in her lounging pajamas looking all vulnerable ? stephanie : taylor -- taylor : can you imagine that ? stephanie : taylor , please . if she 's asleep , what is there to blame her for ? taylor : because she deliberately kept it a secret from ridge i do n't care if she was asleep . that 's not the point . oh , my gosh , stephanie , can you imagine ? think about this -- she wakes up and -- and sees thomas hovering over her , and -- and -- and ... stephanie : ( sighs ) taylor : his lips are on hers , and she just has this thought -- `` oh , well , this is no big deal . this is nothing to tell my husband . `` that 's not going to fly . i 'm telling -- i know i 've told you before that i -- that i did n't see how ridge could ever forgive her , but this time i know i 'm right . i know i 'm right . remember what he said last time ? stephanie : yes . yes , i remember . he -- if anything happened , he 'd take ... ( sighs ) a flight straight to you . taylor : those were his exact words stephanie : well , is that what this is all about ? is that what you want ? [ scene_break ] dayzee : hello . oh ! hi . thomas : dayzee . how did you know i was down here ? dayzee : i - i did n't , actually . pam : hey . did you find it , sweetie ? it 's , um , right over here . yeah , here it is . dayzee : oh , great . pam : i think this is the shot you want . dayzee : yeah , yeah . pam : now you sure you only want a 5x7 , though ? because you -- you could have an 8x10 . heck , oliver could make a poster size of you . dayzee : ( laughs ) thomas : i take it you 're not here to see me . dayzee : well , you know , it 's a nice surprise , yeah . pam : you know , i - i 'd go with the bigger . that way , marcus could put it up on his wall . dayzee : wow . pam : i 'm sure he does n't have anything up in that paris apartment . dayzee : that 's true . pam : is n't oliver a great photographer ? gosh , i wish he 'd been here when i did that photo shoot with tiny . i mean , bio is a very good photographer , but she just had no way with animals . dayzee : well ... thomas : it 's cute . dayzee : well , yeah . marcus had e - mailed me saying that he was getting homesick , so ... pam : and dayzee made him a little care package . is n't that sweet ? so i reminded her about the photos , and ... dayzee : ( clears throat ) well , yeah , this is just the day that we came to forrester and oliver was messing around with his camera , so , you know , marcus asked if he 'd take a few pictures . pam : dayzee , are you sure that you like that shot the best ? 'cause i really love that shot of you with your arms around marcus . dayzee : oh , no . this is -- this is great , and the 5x7 is actually perfect . you know , marcus is n't gon na be in paris long . i do n't want to make him lug back a big poster so ... pam : suit yourself . thomas : actually , do you guys have a wallet size of this photo ? i 'd really like one . dayzee : ( sighs ) thomas : what ? [ scene_break ] taylor : i 'm married , stephanie . stephanie : so -- but if ridge leaves her and comes running back to you -- taylor : i 'm happily married to whip . stephanie : that 's not what i 'm asking . taylor : the point is we 're talking about ridge , you -- you know , and -- and brooke keeping this secret from him . an -- and he 's made it very clear that he is not going to put up with this . stephanie : ( sighs ) taylor : he 's not tolerating her -- her lies anymore . stephanie : yeah , i know . and it 's not just any little secret . taylor : no , because this one involves something ridiculously inappropriate with his son . [ scene_break ] ridge : this is just a lot to process , logan . brooke : i know . ridge : you should have told me immediately . you should have sided with your husband instead of the kid that kissed you . it would have been a lot less painful . brooke : i 'm sorry . it just seemed like a ... ( sighs ) meaningless kiss . it did n't seem worth getting all upset about . ridge : hmm . brooke : it did n't seem worth the possible damage to your relationship with your son or to our relationship . but keeping it a secret made it worse , and that 's exactly what i did n't want to happen . please believe me . ridge : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] dayzee : did oliver take these ? thomas : yeah . dayzee : ( scoffs ) pam 's right . he 's good . anyone would think you and brooke were a couple . these are hot . thomas : ( sighs ) thank you . dayzee : what 's wrong ? you do n't think so ? thomas : oh , no . they 're great . it 's just ... bad timing , you know ? dayzee : well , what do you mean ? thomas : remember that kiss i told you about on the plane with brooke ? dayzee : yeah . thomas : well , my mom found out , and she 's blowing it all out of proportion . ( scoffs ) dayzee : okay , but i thought you said it was nothing . thomas : exactly . it was a silly kiss . dayzee : okay , well , could this affect your line ? thomas : probably ... ( sighs ) i mean , if she convinces my dad that brooke and i ca n't be in the same room together . dayzee : well , are you concerned ? thomas : no . brooke 's in there making sure he understands that there 's nothing to worry about . ( laughs ) besides , this line means too much to me . i 'm not gon na let my mom 's overactive imagination interfere with things , okay ? dayzee : okay . thomas : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] stephanie : i - i know it seems strange . i mean , for goodness sakes , if you 're asleep and a man kisses you , why would n't you tell your husband ? i understand . taylor : because she knows she 's partly responsible . stephanie : how ? taylor : with every little look she gives him , the -- every little giggle she makes and -- and tease and flirt and , you know , the way she saunters over to him . you saw the -- the video of them in paris together , did n't you ? i saw it . stephanie : yes , and they were flirting , but that 's all part of the p.r . campaign . taylor : no . no , stephanie . this went beyond flirting . she was -- she was trying to make him want her . yes , part of it was for the reporters , but part of it was also sport . you 've seen this . you 've seen it with her thousands of times before , and it always ends up the same way . the poor guy ends up giving in . he does n't even know what hit him . and here we are . we 're -- we 're at the exact same place all over again . can you imagine what kind of power trip she must feel like she 's on , i mean , she -- the ego she must be boosting ? she has got all three forrester men , all the generations lusting after her . and that 's what she wants . she wants to be now with the grandson , and she 's going to succeed if she is n't stopped . [ scene_break ] ridge : i 'm asking thomas to come see me now . brooke : try not to be angry with him . ridge : i 'm not angry . i 'm disappointed ... and concerned . brooke : just remember that he idolizes you , and he respects you very much . ridge : this really hurt me , logan . brooke : i know . i 'm sorry for not telling you . ridge : i know . brooke : ( sighs ) ridge : ( sighs ) brooke : thomas and i both did things to disappoint you . and you could have yelled at me and screamed and gotten angry . ridge : ( sighs ) brooke : but you did n't . you showed me so much love , understanding , patience . please just do that for your son . he just got caught up in the moment , and he made a ... an error in judgment . that 's all . he 'll never repeat it , just as i will never make the mistake of keeping a secret from you again . brooke : i love you . ( door opens ) thomas : dad ? i guess we need to talk . [ scene_break ] brooke : ( sighs ) what are you , the town crier ? taylor : stephanie deserved to know . stephanie : so it 's true , i take it . brooke : well , i 'm not sure anything taylor says is true , but , yes , thomas did kiss me . stephanie : i think i 'm very disappointed in you , the fact that he would kiss you and that you would -- you would n't discuss any of this with his father . brooke : no , i know . i know . that was wrong . i should have gone to ridge right when it happened , but thomas convinced me not to . taylor : do n't you dare try to bring in an innocent young man that you 've been trying to corrupt . stephanie , look in front of you . this is the same woman she 's always been . brooke has n't changed at all . here she is , walking through her day , still trying to -- to cover up her same old trampy behavior . she did n't keep this from ridge so that she could protect his feelings . she did it so she could protect her own backside and maybe even buy a little more time so she could make another hit on my son . brooke : ( sighs ) i 'd like to talk to stephanie alone . taylor : why ? do you need a little face time so you can try to get back into stephanie 's good graces ? i do n't know how you 've managed to snow her the last few months , but ... ( scoffs ) you just sabotaged yourself . stephanie , i do n't now how you can believe another word that comes out of her mouth . brooke : stephanie ? [ scene_break ] thomas : should i come back ? ridge : tell me how this would have happened . thomas : first and foremost , i - i want you to know i 'm sorry . i did n't want to upset you . and i 'm sure mom made it seem like the end of the world , but , really , it was very harmless . ridge : so i hear . thomas : what , brooke explained ? ridge : as much as she could , though it 's hard to explain to your husband how meaningless it is that his son kisses you , and then you choose to keep it from him . thomas : all right , look , that was all me . i convinced her not to tell you . ridge : why ? thomas : is n't it obvious ? dad , i did n't want this . look , you 're hurt . you 're upset . i thought we should avoid that . ridge : you disrespected me . you disrespected my marriage . that 's what this is , and do n't try to whitewash it and make it less than that . thomas : all right , i can see why you could think that . like father , like son , i guess . ridge : excuse me ? thomas : you want to talk disrespect , but you did a lot worse and kissed brooke on the lips when she was married to your dad . i mean , you stole her from him . ridge : i 'm not about to get into that with you , thomas . thomas : right . ridge : it 's a very complicated situation , and i did n't steal brooke from anyone . thomas : okay . all i 'm saying is maybe i 'm just a little bit too much like you . ridge : meaning what ? are you in love with my wife ? thomas : ( scoffs ) i love brooke , after everything she 'd done for me over the years , but , no , i 'm not in love with her . ridge : then why would you kiss her ? is this about me ? some exertion of power ? thomas : no . no . ridge : revenge ? thomas : gosh , do n't be ridiculous . revenge for what ? ridge : i know you 're angry about steffy having shares in the company . thomas : dad , this has nothing to do with steffy . ridge : then what ? help me understand . i need to know what the hell could have made you want to kiss my wife . thomas : why i kissed her -- honestly , i do n't know it was an impulse . i did n't think . ridge : it 's one thing to put on a show or a stunt for the line , but you were alone with her on an airplane . now whether or not it was an attack on me or inappropriate feelings -- thomas : it was neither , dad . it was a beautiful woman sleeping on a plane , and i kissed her . that 's all . ridge : do you not see how inappropriate that was ? thomas : do you regret any of the inappropriate kisses you had when you were my age ? ridge : you were n't making out with some model in the steam room , thomas . thomas : ( sighs ) ridge : you were kissing my wife . thomas : okay . fine . it 's -- it 's different , a little bit outside the box . it was wrong . whatever . look , i - i feel like you 're trying to condemn me for something you got away with . ridge : ( sighs ) well , i 'm trying to help you here . thomas : ( scoffs ) ridge : i 'm trying to get to the bottom of this . you wo n't admit it to me , let alone to your yourself , but i think you 're fighting real feelings for wife . that 's the big deal . thomas : wow . feelings ? like , you mean , feelings of appreciation ? for her -- her beauty ? yeah . ( stammers ) of course i do . i 'm not fighting that . ridge : listen to yourself . thomas : yeah , what , she 's not gorgeous ? i kissed her . i 'm sorry . it wo n't happen again . get over it . ridge : it 's going to get over it , especially with that attitude . thomas : ( scoffs ) i do n't have an attitude . i 'm just being honest with you . is n't that what you 've been asking for this whole time ? ridge : i just ca n't believe your total lack of understanding of what it means to be married . the lack of respect that you 've shown me and my wife ... thomas : it was just a simple kiss . ridge : hmm . and this ... ( sighs ) will be just a simple memo . thomas : what ? ridge : it 's over . your line is done . thomas : `` we thank you for your support of the forrester taboo line . it is with regret that we 're putting it to an end `` ? dad , are you kidding me ? you 're ... you 're cancelling my line ? ridge : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] brooke : stephanie , i 'm sorry if i 've disappointed you , but please do n't let this affect our relationship . stephanie : i do n't want it to , but how do you think this makes me feel ? i mean , has -- have -- have these past few months just been a joke to you ? brooke : no . i love our relationship . i love the fact that , after all these years , i can call you a friend . taylor : after all these years of sleeping through her family -- her husband , her -- her -- her sons , and now you 're doing everything you can to hop into bed with her grandson ? stephanie : ( sighs ) brooke : please ... ( sighs ) do n't listen to taylor . we ca n't let something like this affect our friendship . stephanie : ( sighs ) brooke : fighting your cancer together , everything that we 've experienced downtown , reaching out and helping other people -- our friendship ca n't be affected by who kisses me . stephanie : wait a minute . you do n't really seriously think that you can damn well kiss anybody , any of the men in the family , and not have an impact on the friendship . brooke : okay , stephanie , it was nothing , really . this kiss -- it -- it was meaningless -- nothing ! stephanie : how many times have i heard that ? brooke : i 'm sorry . it will never happen again . taylor : ( scoffs ) brooke : just do n't spend one more minute thinking that i could ever , ever betray ridge like this . stephanie : but that 's exactly the whole point , is n't it ? god , how could you do something so stupid ? ! just when i thought that you 'd change , when i thought you 'd grown up , when i thought you really ... that i could trust you ... god , brooke . tom kisses you , and the whole point of it is you should have gone to his father . you should have discussed it with him immediately . that 's an act of betrayal . if you betray ridge , how do i know you do n't betray me ? ( sighs ) i think you should go . just -- just go away . i do n't want to talk to you anymore . i just do n't want to talk ! ( sighs ) | brooke tells ridge that she feels so sorry for disappointing him by not telling him about the kiss . it was small and insignificant , but she will never keep anything from him again . she hopes he can forgive her . she realizes now keeping it a secret made it worse . he hugs brooke and says this really hurt him , and he needs to see thomas . she asks him to have patience . neither of them will make a mistake like that again . taylor rants to stephanie that this wo n't fly this time . brooke kept yet another secret from ridge . stephanie wonders if that is what taylor really wants ridge to leave brooke and come directly back to taylor . thomas is around when pam shows dayzee some photos that she is making up for marcus to put in his apartment in paris . he 's homesick . thomas confides in dayzee that his mother is here causing a little trouble about the brooke kiss . but he 's not worried about the taboo line ; it 's too important . he steps into his dad 's office and says they need to talk . |

katie : i really am sorry , brooke . brooke : do n't apologize . there 's nothing to apologize for . you were vulnerable , and ridge was there . that 's understandable . but if you think this is going any further , it 's not . katie : it already has . brooke : you 're not sleeping with him , katie . katie : no . no , i - i would n't do that . i 'm not like ... brooke : like what ? like me ? look at you . you 're angry , and you 're acting out . you 're not doing this because you love ridge . you 're doing this to get back at me , and it 's got to stop . [ scene_break ] rick : it 's your decision , dad . hope : i like the idea . aly : well , you 're not exactly objective , hope . hope : neither are you , aly . caroline : well , i love the idea . i mean , a jewelry collection like stephanie 's ? quinn : who would n't want to see it ? pam : we are not a museum . aly : and we 're not in the business of selling jewelry . wyatt : you 're missing the point here . aly : well , by all means , educate us , wyatt . wyatt : [ chuckles ] the stephanie forrester collection is nothing less than a promotional bonanza . it 'll bring customers . it 'll generate huge publicity for us . pam : right , just like the diamond did ... especially after it was stolen . hope : i like the idea . it 's not my call , but i think it 's brilliant . i think we should run with it . caroline : how could anybody object ? look at these . they are scrumptious . i have been lusting after these for years . rick : stephanie always wore these pieces to every major event . it yielded tons of press coverage . these pieces are known . eric ? wyatt : do a search . `` stephanie forrester jewelry . `` you 'll get at least 25 pages of results . aly : well , that does n't mean we have to profit by them . these are sacred family treasures . where is the respect ? my grandma would hate this . rick : dad , you 've heard everyone 's opinion . i think it 's time . so what 's it gon na be ? aly : grandpa , can i say something ? eric : no , aly . i 've heard enough ... from everyone . aly and pam are right -- every piece is precious , particularly to me . the thought of exploiting the extraordinary woman who wore them is abhorrent to me . i could never do that . stephanie was very proud of this collection -- every piece . not because of the attention it brought her . i mean , she could do without that , god knows . she was proud of every piece because she was proud of the man that gave every one of them to her . whenever anybody asked her about them , and when they complimented her about any one of these pieces , she would always say the same thing -- `` eric gave me that . `` if i were to ask stephanie today how she feels about wyatt 's proposal , i know what she would say . she would say , `` well , if it 's gon na be good for the company that you and i spent so many years building for our children and our grandchildren , then , by all means , use them . `` and so we shall . it 's a great idea , wyatt . it furthers our reputation for class and elegance . it preserves stephanie 's legacy , as well , so i - i give this project my blessing , and it has stephanie 's , as well , i 'm sure . caroline : ohh !

brooke : [ sighs ] katie : but we all know you ca n't do that . so i suppose if you want bill , then he 'll take you back . i mean , you were in love with him , right ? brooke : yeah , so that would be great . okay . me and bill , and you and ridge , coexisting happily together , raising our children together . yeah , that 'd be nice , katie . katie : is n't that what you wanted when you took up with my husband -- for me to find someone ? you could be with bill , and i could be with ... whomever ? brooke : i did n't take up with your husband . i actually sent him back to you . katie : thank you . that was really generous of you . brooke : okay , you know what ? you 're -- you 're still angry . i thought you were past all this . katie : i am . brooke : no , obviously , you 're not . this must be your coming - out party . after all those years of living in my shadow , here you are . you have ridge ... or so you think . it 's the perfect payback . katie : this has nothing to do with paying you back ! have n't you been listening ? i 'm in love with him . brooke : you 're not in love with him ! you 're infatuated with him ! katie : it 's more than that for both of us , i assure you . brooke : well , then you are a hypocrite . katie : a hypocrite ? brooke : passing judgment on my behavior , when you 're doing exactly the same thing ! katie : maybe you 're right . i guess i learned it from you -- my protective older sister sleeping with my husband . brooke : so you ruin my wedding , and you just take off with ridge . katie : spin it however you want . the fact is , ridge and i have fallen in love . i know you ca n't imagine it . brooke : you can not have him , katie . i 'm not gon na let that happen . katie : i did not take ridge from you . he came to me of his own free will . brooke : and he 's going to leave you of his own free will ! katie : [ sighs ] brooke : i do n't want you to be alone and bitter . katie : [ scoffs ] brooke : i really hope you 're listening to my warning . katie : do n't you dare talk down to me . you 're not my mother . you want to put me in this little box . you want me safe and sound in my childhood bedroom , looking out my window , watching the world go by . you do n't take me seriously , but you should . ridge and i are going to be together . brooke : you are not gon na get away with this . katie : again , we 'll see . brooke : ridge is going to leave you , and you 're gon na be left picking up the pieces . you do n't need that kind of rejection . katie : why , because of my health ? because of my weak , little heart ? that 's stormie 's heart , brooke . remember him ? the pillar of our family ? i have his heart . and i have ridge 's heart , too . so you do n't have to worry about me . | brooke has calmed down and tells katie there is no need to apologize . she was vulnerable and ridge was there . so it 's understandable , but if she thinks it is going further then she is wrong . katie says but it already has . brooke says no , she said she had not slept with ridge yet . she is not in love with ridge . she is doing this to get back at brooke and that has to stop . katie conveys to brooke that this is not a fantasy . for weeks she kept telling herself that ridge could not feel the same way she did , but he does . he does not see her as the little sister the way she and bill do that needs protecting , that can not stand on her own two feet and needs to be guided . she says ridge sees her as the woman she is today and that feels really good . brooke begs her sister to see this for what it is . she and ridge have a history together . yes they have issues and probably always will , but they love each other and he is not going to leave her for katie . that is just crazy . she begs her sister do not do this . she does not want to see her in pain . ridge is a kind , compassionate man so she can see why katie would develop a crush on him . katie says there she goes again . she is not a fool with a schoolgirl crush . brooke says it also is not what katie thinks it is either . ridge always comes back to her . katie tells her it is not always about brooke . brooke says yes it is about her . katie ruined her wedding with her cheap , stupid little stunt . and now she is trying to steal her husband . it 's sick and disgusting and it 's not going to work . rick and hope and quinn all say they are for the idea , but pam and aly says forrester is not a museum and stephanie 's jewelry should not be displayed . there is no respect and she knows her grandmother would hate this . eric finally says he 's heard enough . the thought of exploiting the extraordinary woman who wore the jewelry is abhorrent to him . she was proud of every piece because she was proud of the man who gave her every one . and he knows exactly what stephanie would say to wyatt 's proposal . if it helped the company , then by all means use them . eric tells wyatt it is a great idea and they will use it . it has his blessing and he is sure stephanie 's as well . all the others clap except pam and aly who just glares at wyatt . aly asks eric why are they doing his . does anyone remember why it was called hftf . hope says yes she does . it was to keep her generation mindful of their individuality and their own responsibility for the future . aly says yes but what does flashy jewelry have to do with that message . eric points out this is not going to be a flashy jewelry display , not at all . aly says it is to wyatt . it 's just another photo op for him and hope just like the diamond . hope says that happened a long time ago and has nothing to do with the stephanie collection . eric says he has heard enough . he adjourns the meeting and tells wyatt good work . when everyone leaves , hope tells eric that she and wyatt would like to talk to him about aly . she tells him that aly has become so aggressive , even to the point of firing wyatt and she got physical with him . wyatt says he has no idea what set her off . eric tells them to keep this to themselves . thorne is aware of it but eric will talk to her . she lost her mother at a very young age and ever since has had a very difficult time . just be patient and do not confront her . aly tells pam that wyatt controls them . they are under his spell . pam agrees that wyatt and his mother are both smoothies . do n't let quinn fool her ; stay away from her . aly feels like pam knows something . pam gets a phone call that she is wanted downstairs so they will talk later . quinn comes out of the shadows and tells aly that she is fighting a losing battle . she knows she is family but the look on eric 's face tells her that he 's not going to tolerate her attitude much longer . aly does n't want to talk to quinn . quinn can understand why as she is the voice of truth . they are going with wyatt 's idea so she needs to stop fighting him or in the end she will just be hurting herself . firmly aly says wyatt is hurting the company , her family 's company ad she ca n't let that happen . eric calls pam and asks her to come in with aly . he wants to know what this is all about with firing wyatt . aly says he is hurting the company and the hftf line . the message is now meaningless because of wyatt and his mother . eric tells her that he wants this to work out for her here but she has to respect his decisions and hope and wyatt 's relationship . |

( pills rattling ) dr. barton : well , when your mother called earlier and explained your situation , i ordered these just in case . it 's an anxiety medication . hope : um , you know what ? i - i do n't -- i do n't know if pills are gon na solve anything . you know , thanks , though . dr. barton : no , but they can certainly ease the tension . brooke : is that really necessary , stacy ? hope : i just ... i do n't know how comfortable i feel about taking pills . dr. barton : oh , wait , i 'm not suggesting that . i 'm not . i -- th - there are just a couple of pills in there , okay ? and this medication 's not gon na knock you out . it 's not gon na make you feel out of control , but it will help ease this pressure that you 're putting on yourself , okay ? so just -- just take them with you . and when you 're with liam , if you feel yourself tensing up , you know ? hope : yeah . i really love him , dr. barton . i ca n't lose him to steffy again . [ scene_break ] steffy : ( sighs ) bill : i would n't do that . steffy : i lost him , bill . why torment the two of them ? liam wants to be with hope . bill : he has n't gotten over you , steffy . steffy : ( sighs ) bill : i doubt he ever will . did you ask him about the big night ? steffy : i could n't help myself . bill : and what did he say ? steffy : not much . bill : did he have that magical glow about him ? i did n't see it . he looked pretty pasty to me . steffy : ( sniffles ) bill : and i know for a fact it was n't the greatest night of his life . steffy : well , he loves her , bill , and i 'm sure they 'll work things out . bill : i 'm not . he loves you , too . do n't give up . do not give him the annulment . stick to the 6-month plan . stick to the divorce . give yourself that time . you could have him again , steffy . [ scene_break ] brooke : honey , you will get through this . it 's just all so new . hope : ( sighs ) brooke : you and liam are so special together . hope : ( sighs ) yeah , but , mom , what am i doing ? it still seems so wrong , and i know that you do n't see it that way . brooke : it is not wrong . you and liam deserve to be together . you have every right to be . steffy stole him from you , and now you have him back . so go home and spend a wonderful night with the man that you love . and do n't let steffy get into your head , okay ? hope : uh - huh . brooke : 'cause that 's exactly what 's happening . hope : yeah . brooke : the only person who can take this away from you is you . do n't let steffy get the best of you . [ scene_break ] steffy : ( sighs ) oh , bill . knowing liam is over there with hope every night . the two of them in bed together , sitting by the fireplace , taking walks on the beach -- i mean , these are the things liam and i used to do , and hope 's taken that . she 's taken my home . she 's taken my man . she 's taken my life , and you just want me to stand by , watch , and wait ? bill : if you love my son like you say you do , then do n't give up . one day , he will come back to you , because hope is not the woman for my son . you are , steffy . | slowly the facts of hope 's first intimate night with liam is revealed . brooke , who is sitting in on the sessions , wants to answer more questions than hope does . dr. barton has to remind her she needs to hear this from hope . hope explains that her mother was a sex symbol and hope chose to not ever be that . it may be coming back to haunt her now and liam deserves better than this . she does n't want another night like last night and needs to fix it . she explains there is an ex or almost ex - wife and she is still controlling things . bill grills liam more on what was supposed to be his night of bliss . steffy learns that liam is at work but hope is n't . she finds liam alone and asks him about last night . she is disappointed to find that he and hope are truly now a couple , so she will sign the annulment papers now . alone she starts to sign when bill comes back in and advises her not to . he wants her to stick to the original plan and wait the six months to give liam time to realize what he is doing and will come back to steffy . despite that she does n't ask for them and is not sure she wants to take them , dr. barton gives hope a bottle of anti- anxiety pills to take when she tenses up . |

[ scene_break ] rick : thank you . what 's that ? maya : rice cakes and tahini . i know . they keep almost forever . rick : is that you when you were little ? maya : um , no . rick : that 's funny . i do n't remember unpacking it . maya : yeah , i , uh ... i just got a frame for it . rick : hmm . thanks for the use of your sofa last night . maya : anytime . really . rick : well , you know , i probably should get going . maya : no , um ... rick , i 'd love if you stayed .

[ scene_break ] eric : we encourage community involvement here . you read the employee handbook , did n't you ? caroline : yes . and there 's being involved and being involved . i mean , you can start a foundation like i did and hire somebody to run it . eric : personal contact is very , very important . it 's the relationships we establish . caroline : i think relationships matter , too . that 's why i 'm here fighting for my relationship with rick . but what chance do we have if he thinks that kindness to strangers is more important than how he treats me ? [ scene_break ] maya : she does look like me , does n't she ? rick : [ chuckles ] yeah . maya : before , i could only see her father 's face in her . now i can hardly draw his face to mind . but my daughter ... even though the last time i held her she was really tiny , i would be able to pick her face out of a hundred little girls . rick : where is she now ? maya : she was adopted . rick : i see . maya : i could n't keep her . rick : maya , there 's no shame in that . maya : i was going to prison . rick : i ... i find it hard to believe that you could do anything very bad . maya : what i 've learned -- most bad things are done by good people . my daughter 's father , he was a good man . i loved him , and i believe he truly loved me . it 's just ... he got lost , is all . the public defender said that i had no chance against a jury , so i took a plea . i told them from the beginning that i was n't guilty , and no one would believe me . finally someone did , and that 's why i 'm here . there were things that i could have said from the beginning that would have let them know that they arrested the wrong person , but i just could n't say it . rick : why not ? maya : i do n't want to make excuses . years ago , i would have said i was protecting other people , but the truth is ... i was a pretty girl who had a little bit of talent and was unrealistic . and i came to l.a. to find pretty , talented , unrealistic girls selling videos and hamburgers and ... drugs and companionship in every doorway and on every street corner . i was trying to do the same thing . but i just could n't .

[ scene_break ] eric : my son and i are very much alike . we 're both single - task people . rick and i both have extraordinary senses of concentration , and we 're very , very capable in that regard . but we can only concentrate on one thing at a time . so , while we are doing that one thing , whatever it is , the people that do n't know us very well and people that do can start to feel a little forgotten . and actually they are for the moment . but that does n't make them one bit less important to us . it 's a flaw we share . caroline : i may not know you well enough to say this , but that sounds like an excuse . eric : my late wife knew me very well , and that 's what she said , too . caroline : nice try , though .

[ laughs ] [ scene_break ] maya : okay , can you just tell me why we got off here ? rick : because if we stayed on the bus , we 'd end up in westwood . i thought you said you needed new clothes . maya : if i could afford to shop on rodeo drive , i would n't be sponging off of dayzee . rick : what 's the harm in looking ? you could be anyone . you could be a countess from spain , a u.n . delegate , and actress , which you are . all right ? maya : yes . that was the idea at one time . rick : then act . act like you 're happy to be out with me and you 're having the time of your life . [ scene_break ] caroline : i 'm beginning to think that l.a. just does n't even agree with me . i mean , first there was thomas , who seemed to have really good intentions and then so easily got sucked into a power trip , and then there was rick , who also seemed to have great intentions and now is surrendering his entire life to those ... less fortunate . eric : caroline , this is really not my issue . caroline : and maybe i 'm a brat , but i just feel like if you ask me out on a date and i do my hair and i put on the heels and the hot , little designer dress , you better take me somewhere to show me off . you know what i mean ? not to a homeless shelter . eric : dayzee 's is not a homeless shelter . caroline : thanks for listening .

[ both laugh ] | rick wakes up on maya 's couch and feels like he 's in a dream . she 's sitting not far from him at a little table putting on her makeup and combing her hair . he smells coffee and she says it is a waft from dayzee 's downstairs . she brings him some rice cakes and tahini , but he says he really ought to be going . she says no ; she 'd really like him to stay . she finds herself pouring her heart out to him about her being in prison , having a little girl that was adopted and then tragically killed before she ever had a chance to hold her . rick is very sympathetic . he ca n't believe she did anything so bad to go to prison , but he says it is no shame to have to have her daughter adopted . carter meets with erik about some legal moves against the internet rip - offs . pam and donna ca n't stop her ; caroline comes into the office in a huff looking for rick . she unloads big time on erik about trying to have a relationship with his son who is never there for her . he reminds her how important their public service . she says she hates to sound like a brat , but the line he is feeding her sounds like an excuse . she rants that when she makes a date with a guy , and goes to the trouble of fixing her hair and putting on heels and a hot little designer dress , then he 'd better take her some place to show her off and not to a homeless shelter . rick treats these unfortunate strangers better than he does her . and by the way , they are less sober and less bathed . |

[ knocks on door ] that is probably your mom ... hope : mm . liam : ... checking up on us . hey ! you 're not brooke ! come on in . tiffany : [ chuckles ] sorry for stopping by so late . hope : oh , tiffany ! hi ! tiffany : hey , hope . these are the new designs for hope for the future . i volunteered to bring them by on my way home . hope : oh , you did n't need to go out of your way . tiffany : ah , it 's nothing . besides , i never got to tell you how sorry i am about your little girl . hope : thank you . tiffany : i should go . liam : um , yeah . drive safe , okay ? tiffany : yep . hope : [ clears throat ] liam : you okay ? hope : i know she meant well . everyone means well when they say how sorry they are , but ... it will always be a reminder that our little girl is n't here . flo : who are you , reese ? you know , i thought you were a good guy , a doctor , someone who brings life into the world , but you 're not . you took a life . you stole a baby from an innocent mother during labor . and for what ? why ? you did it for money ? you did it for money . reese : i needed the money to protect my daughter , my flesh and blood . flo : you did it for a gambling debt because you had a gambling debt . you needed money to pay off a gambling debt . you did it for you ! you created this whole entire situation ! and you sucked me into it , too , and i -- and i tried to help you . it was the worst decision of my life , and you just -- you just asked me to move on , to just -- just forget about it ... how can i possibly forget ? every time i close my eyes , i see hope . i see poor hope , her heart completely ripped out . reese : you do n't think this is killing me , too ? you know who i am , both of you ! sweetheart . baby , i -- i am your father . i 'm not the best father , but i 'm not a monster . i am a good man who -- who got caught up in something he could n't control ! why ? because i was trying to protect you , zoe ! i love you ! baby , i 'm so sorry that i put your in this position , but ... but no one can know . this truth can not get out . sally : do you want to heat up some food ? wyatt : mmm . yeah , i mean , we did just work up an appetite . sally : mm . wyatt : you , ms . spectra , are insatiable ... and it 's totally understandable . i am quite the catch , as well , just so you know . sally : shall i list the reasons why ? wyatt : no , you do not have to . i know how you feel about me . sally : oh , but what i want to say it again ? and then keep saying it . everything that you brought to my life ... wyatt : what about everything that you brought to my life ? your infectious laughter , your fearless spirit ... we 're good , you know , as a couple . for the next , uh , i do n't know millennium or two , beyond ! sally : i believe you whenever you say that . wyatt : good . sally : which is a big deal , considering that i 'd pretty much given up on men . and also myself . wyatt : you know i 'd never let you do that . sally : i know you wouldn't . everything changed when we got together . wyatt : [ chuckles ] sally : the way i feel about myself and my life ... i owe all of that to you . wyatt : [ chuckles ] sally : chicken legs . wyatt : now , why would you do that ? like , you were being all sweet and cute , and then you go ahead call me `` chicken legs ? `` sally : no , i -- wyatt : seriously , i 'm proud of these . these are not chicken legs , okay ? sally : no . no ! the food that we are going to heat up . i want leftover chicken legs . wyatt : oh ! right . that 's -- [ laughs ] from the barbecue . sally : oh , my god . wyatt : that was a miscommunication right there , is what that was . sally : i think so . wyatt : sorry . sally : [ sighs ] do n't be . reese : if i could go back , change that night , but i can't . catalina and the storms , and me alone at that damn clinic . the first mother came in . she had the stillborn . then hope comes in . she 's in active labor . then as i start tending to her , those bastards call demanding their money , threatening you ! and then hope , she 's -- she 's pushing and she 's pushing and pushing , and then she passes out . liam comes in , and i have to do the hardest thing that i have ever done in my life ! i lie to their faces and i put a dead baby in hope 's arms . flo : do you have any idea how awful that is ? reese : of course i do ! but the only thing that i could hear at that moment was those animals threatening to kill my daughter ! i had to do something ! sweetheart , sweetheart , please , look , i -- i 'm so sorry . but i just wanted to protect you . and i swear to you , all i could think of at that moment was keeping you safe . flo : and hope has been devastated ever since . reese : yes ! she is a wonderful woman who did n't deserve that , but she will heal with time . she and liam will have another child ! flo : no ! hope said that she can't . she 's already lost two babies . she does n't want to go through this pain again ! reese : no . no , no , no , no . she has to . look , zoe , you work with her . you -- you work with her . you talk to her , make that your mission . you convince her that she and liam have to have another child , and then maybe that way , she can on with her life like we have to ! okay . [ sighs ] i apologize for involving you in this . but i do n't -- i do n't want to see my beautiful little baby girl go to jail for something that i did . flo : you 're just trying to protect yourself . reese : i do n't want any of us to go to jail ! okay , look , flo ... i -- i know you feel awful , okay ? go back to vegas . put all this out of your head . it 's just torture for you to stay here , okay ? and promise me , zoe , you will talk to hope . do n't let her give up on becoming a mother . convince her to have another child , and then ... and then we will never speak of this again , okay ? not another word . zoe : my dad 's right . flo : what ? zoe : we 'll all go to prison . look , i -- i hate this , too , but i 'll get through to hope , i swear , okay ? she and liam will still have their family . but we -- we ca n't ever talk about this , okay ? no one can ever know . [ sighs ] reese : i love you both . now , we all agree , something horrible happened . but if we open this up ... you 'll go to prison . and i do n't want to see that happen . i believe in you , honey . you talk to hope . you convince her to have another child so she can go on with her life . and you have to go on with yours , too , flo . go back to vegas and forget all of this happened . do we understand each other , sweetheart ? zoe : yes . reese : flo ? okay . i love you . never doubt that , okay ? liam : you , uh -- you want to get ready for bed soon ? it 's been a long day . hope : yeah , it has , but i 'm not sure i could fall asleep . liam : you still flo on the mind ? hope : [ chuckles ] is it strange to say that i want to get to know her better ? liam : no , not really . i mean , you both suffered the same loss , you both know what it 's like to lose a child . it 's not exactly the same circumstance , but still ... hope : she said that she knows i 'm meant to be a mother with such conviction , and i know it 's what you 've been saying to me all along ... liam : well , yeah , i 've been saying it because it 's true . you 're always gon na be beth 's mom . you know that , right ? you 're gon na love and cherish and honor her for the rest of your life . but there 's not a limit to that love . it 's not like it runs out . and there 's certainly not a limit to the love that you have to give a child . i mean , i see it whenever you hold phoebe , the love you obviously have for her . yeah , your heart was ... shattered into a million pieces , but it 's a really big heart . look at me . you are meant to be a mother . there is a child waiting to be loved by you . waiting for you to be his or her mom . flo : i can not believe you . your dad comes in here and just says he 's sorry , like we have n't heard that a million times before . we made a decision to tell the truth , no matter what the consequences . zoe : well , maybe my dad was right , okay ? think about our futures ! do you want to go to prison ? i do n't ! okay , i 'll speak to hope . i 'll get through to her . but you just have to do what my dad says , you -- you have to go back to vegas . flo : i am not going back to vegas ! zoe : okay , okay . but please , please -- not a word . no one can ever know . especially not hope . | flo tells reese that he can not stop her . she is going to tell hope the truth tonight . liam tells hope that he wants to text wyatt about something . but sally grabs wyatt 's phone and wo n't let wyatt have it ... seems they are otherwise occupied in bed . he finally wrestles it away from her and liam was just thanking wyatt again for inviting him and hope over . he thinks it helped her a lot . wyatt says okay enough about the past , how about talking about the future .. hers at spencer . she says they have not ironed out all the details yet . and she knows it will not be called spectra but her aunt wanted her to do what she likes to do best and that is design , so she is okay with the name spencer fashions . she admits everything changed for her the day she met him and her life looks good now . meanwhile hope keeps telling liam that she really likes flo but feels like there is more to her than meets the eye . she just hopes she is not in trouble . tiffany drops by to leave some hftf designs and gives her condolences about losing her baby . hope tells liam later that tiffany meant well . flo tells reese that he pulled her into this scheme of his but no more . he tells both her and zoe that he is not the best father in the world but he also is not a monster so please give up this idea of telling hope the truth . |

[ scene_break ] taylor : ever since ridge left , i 've just been sad and alone . drinking too much . tonight was the absolute worst . stephanie : i can see that . taylor : then hector took my keys , and he gave money to chuck and he said to help me get home . and then he left . and that 's when he walked in . and he was feeling exactly the same way i was . lost . i do n't know , it 's just like , you know -- the first time since ridge walked out on me , it was like somebody finally understood me . and i do n't know , i just -- i do n't know why i did what i did . i just do n't know why i let it happen -- if it was the alcohol or -- i do n't know . but he knew how i was feeling . stephanie : who was he ? taylor : you 're not going to like it . you might hate me . stephanie : oh , sweetheart , now stop . come on , there 's nothing that you could say or do that would make me change my mind about you . you 're my angel . taylor : i went back in . i could n't find chuck anywhere and i had been drinking . i did n't know how i was going to get home . and i do n't know why i did what i did . i went to his place . and then , i do n't know -- i do n't know what happened , but i just -- i fell into his arms . and then we fell on the bed . but nothing happened . stephanie : so we 're just talking about some guy ? taylor : no . it was nick . stephanie : nick ? nick ?

[ scene_break ] dante : still sleeping ? bridget : yeah . you know , after watching dominick , i understand what ridge is fighting for . his family . and his son . dante : it 's not just about the child . he loves her very much . bridget : yeah , i know . dante : but he has n't always been good to her . bridget : no , you 're right . he has n't . dante : that 's why you want your mom to end up with nick . bridget : no , what i want for my mother is to be happy . and what about hope ? she adores nick . she practically thinks of him like a father . after everything they 've been through , they deserve a man they can count on . dante : so do you . look , you made a heck of a sacrifice today . because you know there 's only one woman for nick . and that 's your mother . [ scene_break ] stephanie : you were with nick ? all right , i guess i can understand this . you 're angry with ridge ! i mean , he left you , he went back to brooke , and you decided to hurt him . taylor : i do n't know . nick told me that brooke had chosen to stay with ridge . and then , shortly there after that , he found them in bed together . stephanie : what ? what ? taylor : i do n't know , i guess -- i guess nothing even happened . nick had misinterpreted this whole thing . stephanie : and you were at chuck 's tying one on ? taylor : oh , believe me , i did not expect to see him there . i just -- i wanted somebody to talk to . i just needed someone who understands what i 'm dealing with . stephanie : taylor , this is a huge lapse in judgment . but having said that , honey , i -- i think we can fix this . i do , i think we can straighten it out . i 'll take care of it , all right ? i 'll take care of everything . [ scene_break ] nick : you think you got it all figured out , do n't you , forrester ? ridge : well , you made it awfully easy , nick . valiant effort , though . very dramatic . interrupting our wedding , sweeping the bride off of her feet , only to be rejected in the end . i tried to convince brooke what you were all about . but she always wanted to believe the best of you . now you 've pretty much done all that for me . she finally sees you for what you really are . a waste of time . come on , logan . let 's get out of here . come on , enough of these games . let 's go .

ridge : i hope you were n't calling rick . phoebe : i 'm not calling anyone . i do n't have anyone to call . ridge : sweetie , just because you ca n't see rick does n't mean you ca n't see your friends . phoebe : i do n't feel like it . ridge : i know this has been kind of difficult for you , but i think in the long run , you 're going to find that it 's all going to be for the best . phoebe : i will never believe that . but i understand why you do . i mean , at least you 've been clear from the beginning . it 's just brooke , who did a complete 180 on us . ridge : yeah , well , brooke has n't really handled the situation very well . and she 'd be the first to admit that . phoebe : well , can i admit something ? ridge : sure . phoebe : you have n't hesitated to tell me exactly how you feel about rick , so i want to tell you how i really feel about brooke . [ scene_break ] donna : it 's so sad . rick and phoebe really care for each other . but does that matter to ridge and his family ? they 're only worried about how it 'll look . how it affects them . jackie : does that surprise you ? donna : no , but brooke 's attitude does . i do n't get it . i mean , she was really happy when they started spending time together . jackie : and then ridge put his foot down . donna : well , phoebe is his daughter . he has a right to be concerned . but the way he 's acting , forcing brooke to choose between her fiancé and her son . it 's just -- it 's crazy . jackie : it 's typical ridge is what it is , and we both know where he learned that , do n't we ? from the master , his mother . donna : oh , do n't even get me started on stephanie . jackie : it is her legacy . it 's just this whole ugly pattern , starting all over again . donna : yes . yeah , i see it , too . but brooke does n't . jackie : well , she ca n't , can she ? you take it from me , the bigger the mistake , the harder it is to admit . especially to yourself . donna : she saw it when she was with nick . ridge promised her the world . stephanie gave her half the company . they swore things would be better . i believed it . brooke did n't . jackie : and then nick let her down , and everything changed . donna : they were really happy together , were n't they ? jackie : for awhile . i think that if ridge and brooke were to split up , they could be again . stephanie : well , here 's to the ladies that prowl . how 's the single life , girls ? donna : what do you want , stephanie ? stephanie : nice to see you , too , donna . i just came in for coffee , but now that i see the clientele that 's here , i may never come back . jackie : that 's good . why do n't you leave ? start now . stephanie : have you heard the latest news flash ? your darling nick may actually get his precious brooke back . how about that ?

maya : i do n't know what you 're talking about . but i do have a photo shoot to get ready for . that 's why i stopped by -- to plan a romantic dinner for two ... key word , `` two . `` rick and i have a lot to celebrate . and when i get home from work , i expect you to be gone . nicole : i guess mom and dad were right . maya : excuse me ? nicole : they do n't talk about you a lot , but when they do , it is n't fondly . and instinct always told me that they were wrong , that i should defend you , but if this is how you treat people -- maya : rick 's divorce just came through . what is so offensive about me wanting to celebrate alone with him tonight ? so , go hang out with your friends . crash on their couch , and tomorrow we 'll go apartment - hunting , because living here is not an option . nicole : you 'd better make it an option ... because i 'm starting to like it here -- fancy house on the hill . i 'm not going anywhere . rick : so , that 's it ? these papers are the end of it ? carter : with the remaining waiting period . that 's how it works . i 'll text caroline -- let her know it 's all in order . rick : you know , it 's funny . two simple words start a marriage . it 's so much paperwork to end one . carter : okay , rick . i got to ask . are you sure you want to do this ? eric : rick 's first quarter as ceo . check out the numbers . ridge : i 've seen the numbers . eric : and the following pages are projections for his second . ridge : now , dad , you realize that the whole team worked extremely hard , not just rick . eric : rick gets credit because he 's ceo . and because he makes the tough decisions to keep this company running -- at a profit , i might add . i think it 's pretty important for you all to remember that . ivy : well , these figures are impressive . none of us can argue with them . i just wish ... eric : wish what ? ivy : i wish that rick 's bedside manner was ... eric : he could do better on that . look , i realize i 'm sort of universally adored around here , but that was n't that way at the very beginning . i had to work hard for years to establish good relationships with all our employees . pam : look , eric , i 'll give you that rick is making sort of an effort . he asked for a second lemon bar this morning . eric : there you go . aly : and he seems to be entertaining the idea of my shoe line . eric : of course he is . it 'll be a terrific addition , too . look , i know everybody has issues with rick , but this report proves his worth as c.e.o . i did n't want to see it at first , but his partnership with maya has made all the difference . he 's more confident . he 's a better leader . with rick and maya at the helm , i can see the numbers climbing even higher . carter : rick , if you need to talk ... rick : i 'm fine . carter : really ? 'cause this is a lot . rick : no , what i need is for you to do your job . we 've got a big shoot coming up . i want everybody to pitch in . carter : sure thing . rick : i also need you to pull some contracts for my review . i 'll e - mail you the list . carter : i get it . ings get rou , you make it business as usual , you bury yourself in work . i 've been there . it 's never easy ending a relationship . i ca n't imagine what it 's like to end a marriage . maya : it was kind of rick to open up his home to you and invite you in . but you knew it was only temporary . nicole : does n't have to be . maya : you know what ? let me go get you some cash . i 'm sure that you 're gon na stay with a friend , but just in case you need a hotel ... nicole : i do n't want your money . stop trying to buy me off . maya : i am not trying to -- i am trying to help my little sister . nicole : by kicking me out ? maya : you 're in college ! you should be at the campus , hanging out with your friends . nicole : [ sighs ] maya : you know what ? why wait ? let 's call an agency right now and find someplace closer to ucla . nicole : this is close enough . maya : you 'll be close to campus . you can walk to your classes . all the movies , restaurants -- everything will be right there . nicole : it 's a 10-minute drive . i can deal with the horrendous commute . maya : but you do n't want to deal with me setting a curfew and calling to see if you 're gon na be home for dinner . nicole : who said you 'd have to ? maya : nicole , there is a reason that you chose to go to a college so far away from home . you wanted freedom , did n't you , from our parents ? believe me -- no one understands that more than i do . so , go . get out there . spread your wings . nicole : there 's no reason to escape this place . i like it here . it 's starting to feel like home . so , put your phone down . i 'm not leaving . eric : all right . let 's wrap this up . oliver , i know you have a photo session to get ready for . oliver : yes . i 'm supposed to get a text when maya arrives . i 'm kind of surprised we have n't heard anything by now . did you hear anything about her being late or -- no ? pam : no . eric : well , maybe she 's giving rick a little privacy . aly : um , why would she do that ? eric : out of respect . their divorce came through today . [ cell phone rings ] eric : john , hi . i guess this means you got off the glacier today . good . i 'm glad to hear it . look , just give me a second , will you , please ? listen , let 's , uh -- let 's give rick some respect today . i 'm sure he needs his space , all right ? look , i did n't want this for my son . nobody ever wants their child to go through a divorce . but i think it 's turned out for the best . he and maya are happy together , and he 's running the company really well . i think the two of them are gon na do a great job . john . yeah , i want to hear all about it . what 's going on ? ivy : well , does anyone else feel like gagging ? rick : i 'm not the one who ended things . carter : neither did caroline . rick : you know , i 'd rather not go 10 rounds about this for a change . i mean , she could n't even show her face . carter : she 's in new york . she did n't know the court signed off on this today . maybe you should call her . rick : i have a better idea . here . wait . i think we should propose a toast . carter : yeah ? rick : yeah . caroline and i -- we toasted our marriage . we might as well bookend it as we go our separate ways . carter : you still work together . you 'll be in each other 's lives . rick : to caroline and me . may we find more happiness apart than when we were together . i do n't regret our marriage . carter : i 'm sure she does n't , either . do you ever ask yourself how you -- how you got to this place , how it got so bad ? rick : well ... carter : stupid question . rick : no . it 's not . we both made mistakes . maya : this is my house . i decide who lives here and who does n't live here . nicole : your house ? maya : yes . nicole : rick 's house . i 'm his guest . maya : rick would n't let you stay here against my wishes . nicole : i do n't know . seems like he wants us to get closer . maya : and i want that , too . but that 's not gon na happen if we 're at each other 's throats . nicole : so stop fighting with me . give this a chance . maya : look at this from my perspective . i just moved in here . i 'm just starting my life with rick . it 's too soon for me to have any kind of complications . nicole : i 'm hardly a complication . i wo n't be in your way , and it 's not like you and rick would have the place to yourselves if not for me anyway . ivy and aly live here . maya : yes , and i 'm making arrangements for them to stay somewhere else tonight , too . and long - term , ivy and aly have boyfriends . they 'll move out eventually . nicole : and maybe i will , too -- eventually . in the meantime , why ca n't i enjoy how the other half lives ? take it as a compliment . i want to be like you , skyrocketing to the top of the heap , living with a preppy , well- established family in beverly hills . i mean , look at you , maya -- big - time model , socialite , lady of the manor . think about where you came from . maya : i do n't like to think about that life . i left it for a reason . nicole : and here i am , a reminder of all that you ran away from . might as well get used to it , maya . little sister 's here to stay . pam : well ... he certainly made his position clear . ivy : yep . he sure did . i mean , in eric 's defense , the forecast is looking good . oliver : well , sure . we 're all excited the company 's doing well . but i ca n't be the only one skeptical of rick going forward . are we just gon na pretend like this never happened ? ivy : yeah , seriously . i mean , what does this mean ? is he gon na be c.e.o . forever ? pam : it should be you , ridge . we all feel it . ridge : i appreciate your votes of confidence , but we all know that dad has an issue with me . aly : even though rick 's the one who lied -- covering up his affair with maya ? ridge : that should tell you something . no matter how much rick lies or acts out , dad still trusts him more . rick : the paperwork 's finalized . it 's just the remaining wait period . carter : so , when caroline 's back in the office , how 's that gon na go ? rick : i 'm sure we 'll find a way to work together . hopefully with this out of the way , it 'll be a lot easier . carter : i was there , rick . i presided over your wedding . what i saw that day -- i ca n't imagine anything getting in the way of that love , that kind of connection . are you really ready to throw it all away ? rick : it 's working out the way it 's supposed to . carter : so , it 's just as you expected ? rick : i do n't think anybody expects to get divorced . carter : well , i guess it 's easier for you . you 've been married before . you 've been through the pain and survived . rick : 'cause marriage is easy , right ? you find the one you want to spend your life with , and you stick to those vows . i still believe that it 's possible with the right person . i unfortunately was not that person for caroline . otherwise , she would n't have turned to ridge . she would n't have betrayed me . look , carter , i learned about relationships just like everybody else does -- through your childhood . watching my mother try and try again , hoping , believing ... that each time was gon na be different . maya -- i do n't have to believe . i just know . maya : it 's not that i 'm running from my past . nicole : mm - hmm . maya : no more than anybody else . we grow . we become the person we 're supposed to be . nicole , i never imagined that i 'd have any of this -- a beautiful beverly hills mansion , a relationship with a man that i care about . i am so grateful for rick and all of the opportunities that he 's given me . nicole : just not grateful enough to share . maya : i am trying . i am doing my best . but maybe you could find a little bit of gratitude for the fact that you have stayed here briefly , that we 've reconnected , and that i 'm willing to help you settle somewhere else . nicole : i 'm beyond grateful . i think you could be a little more welcoming , that 's all , considering ... maya : considering what ? i do n't owe you anything , and this attitude is wearing a little thin . nicole : my attitude ? seriously ? you 're the one getting all hostile . and i understand you 're worried i 'll say something in front of rick . that 's the whole reason as to why you 've been so desperate to get rid of me . but the way you 're going about it is all wrong . i 'd be a lot more interested in keeping quiet if you just opened your home to me and showed me a little respect . maya : there 's nothing to keep quiet about . rick knows i went to jail . it 's not a big deal . nicole : you know that 's not what i 'm talking about . maya : i -- there 's nothing -- nicole : i do n't want to hear another complaint about my attitude and no more talk about me moving . i 'm staying , and you better start treating me better , maya . i know your secret -- the one you 've been praying rick never finds out . oliver : i guess i 'll start setting up the photo shoot . pam : so that you can just wait for the lady of the manor to waltz on in whenever she wants ? ivy : yeah , probably with a whole list of demands . she 'll want ice cream sundaes and aly 's foot massages . aly : do n't even , okay ? pam : no , but that 's how it feels , does n't it -- like we 're living in a monarchy ? ivy : yeah . all hail queen maya . pam : and it all happened so fast . aly : and now maya 's sister 's here , too , moving on in . ivy : and it 's not like we can say anything . i mean , we all know exactly how rick 's gon na react if we criticize . ridge : maya 's untouchable . and i can tell it 's not gon na change anytime soon . maya : there 's no secret . i do n't know what you 're talking about . nicole : you 're trying to tell me that rick knows all about your past ? maya : i have n't lied to him . nicole : lies of omission count . maya : what , you want -- want me to tell him every detail of my life ? you want me to bore him with all that ? there is a lot that i do n't know about rick , either . just because something does n't come up in conversation does n't make it a lie . nicole : what i know about you , he 'd never think to bring up . maya : i think we 're done here . and you need to leave before one of us says something we 'll regret . nicole : you have it all , do n't you , maya -- rich boyfriend , big house , high- profile job , modeling , no less ? maya : do n't . do n't you talk about it like it 's something i do n't deserve , like i have n't worked my butt off to get here . nicole : i 'm aware of how hard you 've worked , how much you 've been through , what you 've done for yourself . do n't throw it all away by treating me like garbage . maya : stop ! stop pretending that you have something to hold over my head ! nicole : this ritzy , pretty life , rich and famous family -- it could all be yours . maya : it is mine . rick loves me . nicole : but he does n't know you -- who you really are . i do . i know your secret , and if i tell him -- maya : do n't you tell anyone . you can never tell rick -- not ever . do you understand ?

brooke : ridge is being nice to quinn , and that is a good thing . that is what eric wanted . that is what this family needs . and i certainly do n't need my sister coming up with these dangerous accusations , especially days before my wedding ! i am so disappointed in you . brooke : why , katie ? why would you come to me with something so damaging ? is it bill ? are you still upset with me about that ? katie : no . no , i 'm not . brooke : okay . then , it 's eric . you 're trying to drive a wedge between eric and quinn . i know you 've been spending time over at eric 's when quinn is n't there . katie : that has nothing to do with anything . i do n't feel about eric that way , and even if i did , i would n't spread lies about his wife . you know me better than that . brooke : i do n't know what to think . i do n't even know why you 're doing this . katie : i 'm just telling you what i saw and what i believe . brooke : ridge and quinn having an affair . katie : [ sighs ] brooke : why are you doing this ? are you still upset with me about bill ? i know . it 's ridge , is n't it ? you two were engaged at one time , and now i 'm marrying ridge . i think it 's better that you do n't come with us after all . katie : this has nothing to do with old wounds , okay ? this is about what i saw between the man that you 're going to marry and his father 's wife . i do n't want you going into a marriage without knowing something this destructive . brooke : oh , my god . i am days away from bringing my family back together . this is everything that we worked for , everything that we wanted , everything we waited for ! and i do n't need my sister to do this , to come up with these crazy accusations about my future husband ! god ! show me a little support ! why do n't you stand by me instead of try to tear me down all the time ?

quinn : yeah . you -- you said you 're , uh ... you 're tired , right ? sorry , no , i have n't been listening to you . ivy : should i even try and ask you what 's bothering you again ? quinn : some people just really get on my nerves . and you know what ? i 'll give you a little piece of advice . if you walk by a door and it 's a bit open , you should consider it a bit closed . do n't hang around and eavesdrop . it 's sneaky . it 's really bad form . ivy : quinn , why do i get a sinking feeling about this ? you just left to show ridge a necklace . did something happen again ? eric : i have so much admiration and respect for you , son , the man you 've turned out to be . principled , loyal ... ridge : no . you know what ? i do n't always -- i 'm ... you need to understand something . everything that is good in me , i got from you . and i wake up every day hoping that the good will outweigh the bad . and sometimes , i fall short . eric : you do n't fall short . you 're a man who 's strong with his convictions . you stand up for yourself . i appreciate that in you . and i 'm ecstatic that you and quinn have come up with your own relationship . i think that 's great . ridge : dad , i just want you to be happy . i want you to be happy and at peace . that 's all i want . and if someone can give you that , then they have my vote . eric : come here . come here . ridge : love you , dad . hey . eric : ah , the blushing bride -- or , one of them , anyway . brooke : bad time ? ridge : never a bad time for you . we were just having a moment . brooke : yeah , i could see that . makes me realize that everything is good in our world . quinn : i 'm assuming by your use of the word `` again , `` you 're wondering if something physical happened between me and ridge . ivy : yes . quinn : we had this conversation , ivy . i told you , there 's nothing going on . i would n't betray my husband . and he 's -- he 's not gon na betray brooke or eric . ivy : so , you and ridge did n't kiss ? quinn : [ scoffs ] no . ivy : so , then what 's with the mood ? quinn : katie . always lurking in the fringes , listening , watching ... she 's that nosy neighbor who thinks nothing of popping by whenever she feels like it , for the flimsiest of reasons , even though i 've told her time and again that i 'm not comfortable with her spending time alone with my husband . but does she listen to me ? no , of course not , because she 's precious katie logan , everybody 's pet . ivy : well , not yours , apparently . quinn : i just wish she would stay out of my business . now i just found out that she 's joining us in australia . [ knock on door , door opens ] katie : hi . ivy : katie , hey . katie : hey . all set for australia ? ivy : yeah , well , i 'd better be . i 've been organizing everything with steffy . well , i have a meeting scheduled with rick , so , um ... quinn : go . ivy : mm - hmm . katie : good to see you . quinn : so , katie , did you get those pictures of brooke 's wedding dress ? katie : yeah , i did , i did . quinn : must be really beautiful . katie : it is . well , ridge designed it , so ... no surprise there , right ? quinn : mm . so , do you have something on your mind ? katie : just thinking about australia . quinn : you must be so excited , now that you 're joining us . katie : i am , i am . you know , i would n't miss it . my sister is finally remarrying the man that she 's always been in love with . and she thinks that it 's probably gon na be one of the most meaningful and special days of her life , so ... it really has to go smoothly . quinn : good for brooke . and i hope it does . but what does any of that have to do with me ? brooke : oh , you know what ? in case nobody told you yet today , you look fabulous . eric : thank you . nobody else told me that today . brooke : no ? eric : i feel good , too . i think the two of you would understand this better than anybody else , that when -- when stephanie died , i was n't certain i was ever gon na be happy again . i did n't trust that at all . and now every day is like a new gift i ca n't wait to open . every day -- and it 's because of quinn , this wonderful woman i 've married . i feel like i won the lottery , and even more so now that the family 's come around . i 'm so happy these days . it 's all because of you , you know ? and i thank you for that . you 've stepped out of your comfort zone , and you met quinn halfway and made it possible for everyone else to follow your lead , so thank you . thank you . brooke : katie says she saw you and quinn discussing jewelry for the photo shoot . quinn was modeling a necklace for you . ridge : no one -- i do n't know what kat -- no , she was n't modeling it . she put it on for me so that i could see what it looked like . she 's a good designer . very -- very talented and original . eric : well , i 'm glad you see that . i 'm glad you appreciate her talent . you 're right . she 's very creative . is n't this wonderful , how two people -- two enemies -- can become friends ? look at this . ridge : well , i do n't know about friends , but she just showed me a side of her i did n't see , and -- and , um ... and it was nice . it just took me a while because -- you do n't know this about me , but i 'm a little stubborn sometimes . brooke : [ gasps ] [ mock coughs ] wow . he admits it ! eric : he does , he does . ridge : yes . point is , all i had to do was listen to her story , and i did . and i heard her , and she was sincere , and she was genuine . genuine , like she is with you . she loves you , unconditionally , and you know what ? that does n't happen that much anymore these days . how can i be on the wrong side of that ? eric : thank you . brooke : [ chuckles ] ridge : i do n't want anything to ever come between us again . eric : nothing ever will . never again . we 're father and son . that 's not gon na change , whether we like it or not . brooke : family . i am so happy to be a part of this wacky and wonderful family . i want you both to know that i will never take it for granted . and i really am very grateful . eric : i do n't even remember when she was n't part of this family . do you ? ridge : no , i do n't . i think we 're missing a heartbeat . brooke : [ laughs ] well , this is the golden era for us . eric , you 're madly in love with quinn , and , ridge , you and i are getting married . liam and steffy , too . and the best part of all , we 're all getting along . ridge : how about that . brooke : you and quinn , too . as a matter of fact , i never thought that would happen just a few months ago , right ? ridge : we found common ground . brooke : people will speculate . they 'll come up with all these crazy conclusions , but we do n't need to listen to them , right ? we just need to pull together as a family . eric : a whole new chapter . i want it to be a clean beginning . moving into the future . no more guilt about what happened with quinn . that 's all behind us now . quinn : why would brooke 's wedding day and how perfect or imperfect it might be have anything to do with me ? katie : well , you 've caused a lot of trouble for people that i love , my family . quinn : i do n't do that anymore . katie : you and ridge have been getting along awfully well . quinn : we 're a work in progress . but we 're getting better . thank you . katie : downright chummy , if you ask me . quinn : is there a point to this ? is there a problem that i can help you with ? katie : should i have a problem ? quinn : why do n't you just say what you want to say ? because i 'm dying to hear it . katie : you got really lucky landing eric for a husband . quinn : yeah , i did . katie : i mean , i 'm just making an observation . quinn : yeah , well , you 're in the position to do so . i mean , you 're -- you 're right there , next door , right ? coming over anytime you want . and , see , i think i know why . 'cause you want my husband all to yourself . katie : [ chuckles ] that is ridiculous . quinn : it is ? i mean , you 're not even subtle about it . hanging out with eric whenever you want , no matter how many times i tell you that i do n't want you to . i mean , you and i , we had this woman - to - woman talk -- right ? -- where i told you that -- that i thought it was inappropriate and it made me feel uncomfortable , but did n't listen to me . and now here you are , in my office , and you 're lurking about , making insinuations that are offensive and really just plain wrong . so , what 's your endgame here , katie ? are you trying to make up something in your mind that you can take to eric to turn him against me so you can have him all to yourself ? 'cause i 'm warning you ... do n't . katie : you 're warning me ? that 's interesting . quinn : yeah . see , i 've made a place for myself -- with eric and in his family . i 'm not about to let you take that away from me . so do n't make any more trouble between me and eric , or you 'll regret it . [ sighs ] steffy : bill , i can see hope 's car . she 's almost here . you have to stop this gondola . hope : liam ! steffy : marry me . brooke : i do n't think i ... knew what love was ... until i knew i loved you . stephanie : it all adds up to now . brooke : yes . katie : so able to depend on each other for anything , right ? what a lie ! [ glass shatters ] katie : what a lie , all of it . all of it 's lies ! all of it ! my whole life ! my whole life is nothing but lies ! | katie says she did not want to tell brooke but she can not deny what she saw . ridge touched quinn and it seemed to be just the jewelry as an excuse . brooke barks that ridge would never do that and neither would quinn . that would be really low . quinn discusses it with ridge and says they are good and no one seems to know anything . eric interrupts and she covers that they were just going over the australian shoot . he says he really needs to talk to ridge alone . ridge says it is good to see him around him and wonders if he misses it . eric says not really , no distractions so he likes working at home . it fills his heart that ridge has come around to quinn and he could not be happier to see them working together . quinn tells ivy that she is not in a scary mood and she hates having to keep saying it . she likes ivy 's changes in the jewelry and just wants her to keep doing it . ivy rants on but quinn is not listening to her . quinn tells her if she comes across an open door , do not hang around and eavesdrop ; that is too sneaky . katie tells brooke that she would never come to her like this just before brooke 's wedding if she did not believe what she was saying . brooke still argues that this is ridiculous and it probably has something to do with her spending so much time with eric and she is thinking of him . or maybe it is ridge . she and ridge were engaged at one time and now she wants to stir things up . brooke wants a little support . she just invited her to australia to be in the wedding and now she is spouting all this crazy stuff . katie apologizes . |
[ cellphone rings ] liam : come on , come on , come on , come on , come on . hey . steffy : hi , are you guys busy ? liam : no , not really . what 's up ? steffy : would you and hope be able to come over ? it 's important . liam : yeah . everything okay ? steffy : yeah . yeah . kelly and phoebe are fine . but i need to talk to the both of you . liam : uh , yeah . okay . hope and i will head right over . we 'll see you soon . bye . hey , so ... steffy just called . she said she wants us to come over . hope : are the girls okay ? liam : that 's what i asked . she said they 're fine , but then i do n't know why she would want to talk to us . donna : here you go ! katie : oh , my gosh , thank you so much . i needed caffeine , stat . donna : well , you had a busy morning . katie : i just feel like i 'm so slammed , and i want to get a jump on things . donna : yeah ? well , i noticed , uh , bill came by , took will to school . katie : mm - hmm . donna : they 've been spending more and more time together . katie : yeah , he 's really stepping up as a father . donna : it 's nice for will . nice for you , too . katie : yeah , it is . it 's good . i 'm glad that he 's pulling his weight as a parent , you know ? donna : you look ... extra glam today . katie : i do ? donna : yeah ! yeah . it 's like , uh , the hair , the makeup ... katie : thanks . donna : would n't have anything to do with , uh , seeing someone special today , would it ? bill : this is our first attempt at creating a fashion house at spencer . i want everything to go as seamlessly as possible . wyatt : see ? this is where i get it . dad , sally 's done this before , all right ? she basically revamped spectra fashions from scratch last time . sally : i did , yes , and , uh , it was n't easy . did n't exactly go as planned . i know this is anything but a simple process . bill : far from it . sally : well , thank you , again , for doing this , bill , and if there is anything at all that you need from me , just say the word . justin : yeah , well , there 's still some legal issues we need to sort out . bill : we 're only on phase 1 . wyatt : right , but at least we 're moving forward . justin : slowly but surely . but your father 's attention has been focused elsewhere lately , namely katie and will , which i wholeheartedly approve of . katie : are you talking about bill ? seriously ? donna : i 'm just saying , you look really pretty today , and ... katie : okay . donna : and i notice you 're wearing a new outfit . katie : this is not a new outfit . i have had this dress in my closet for a very long time . and i 'd like to think that i generally pull myself together when i 'm going to the office , not just because i 'm trying to seduce my ex - husband over my son 's bowl of cereal . believe me , i was not thinking about bill when i got ready this morning . & donna : maybe just a teeny little , little bit ? katie : no , not even a teeny , tiny little bit . donna : i guess it 's a total coincidence that you look all glam the morning that bill stops by . katie : [ laughs ] donna : or maybe ... you 're falling for him again , and you just do n't know it yet . katie : [ sighs ] bill : all right , slow your roll there , slick . i do n't need you giving them a play - by - play on my social life . wyatt : wait , now , hold -- hold -- hold on , i -- for what it 's worth , i happen to agree with justin . i think it would be really great if you spent more time with katie and will . justin : see ? it 's not just me . your son is saying the exact same thing . bill : i do n't care what my son says . and do n't you chime in . sally : i was n't going to . you know , but now -- now that you mention it ... bill : okay , all right . look , let me just set you clowns straight . katie and i , we are -- we are proud parents of a fantastic kid , and that 's where it ends . justin : sure . we believe you . wyatt : yeah , no , dad yeah . we totally believe you , like 100 % . steffy : thanks for coming over . hope : of course . liam said it was important . steffy : oh , i hope i did n't make you worry . liam : no , no , not at all , but ... is something going on ? steffy : well , i -- i have some news , and i wanted to share it with you in person because it does n't just affect me , it -- it affects the both of you , too . donna : look , i 've given you my opinion . i think you 're still in love with bill . katie : you know , it 's funny , i do n't remember asking for your opinion . donna : yeah , see , i 'm your older sister , and it 'd be weird if i did n't give you unsolicited advice . katie : listen , i 'm thrilled that bill is stepping up as a father , but that does n't mean that anything has changed between us . donna : because you 're not giving it a chance . katie : honestly , bill and i have been married twice , and both times it did n't work out . donna : third time 's the charm ? katie : [ sighs ] do i have to remind you about everything bill and i have been through together ? donna : no . please . all you have to do is -- is look at yourself when i mention his name . or when you describe what kind of father he is to will . look , you 've gotten really good at hiding it , and i know you 're so used to pushing him away . and he 's not exactly the easiest guy in the world , i know it , and you 're afraid of getting hurt , but , katie ... i can tell there 's still a longing , a yearning for your family to be together again . you know what , whether you want to admit it or not , i know that there is a part of you that still wants to reconcile with bill . and , you know what , i say it would be the smartest thing that you could do . bill : look at you matchmakers . you having a good time ganging up on me ? are you ? justin : well , who knows you better than we do ? bill : let me lay this out for you , all right ? katie and i , we have a mutual respect and admiration for each other . and i think we 're doing a great job raising our kid . leave it at that ! sally : the three of you do make a pretty cute family ... wyatt : yeah . think of how happy will would be . sally : not to mention how happy katie would be . wyatt : mm - hmm . justin : and if you two were n't so hardheaded , you might actually let this thing happen . bill : katie 's not interested in me that way ! and , besides , she -- she just got , you know , rid of that loser , thorne . i 'm sure she 'd like a little space , just to be on her own for a bit . sally : you only live once , boss . just go for it . tell her how you feel ! bill : i 'll tell the three of you how i feel . annoyed . all right , as far as katie 's concerned , i 'm not feeling any kind of way . wyatt : yeah , no , yeah . you 're not fooling anyone . justin : you know , i 've known you for decades , and you 've always worked your best when your family - focused . wyatt is back here at the company . you 're working on your relationship with liam . those are steps in the right direction , bill . so why ca n't you take the next step ? reunite with katie and rebuild your family with will . hope : so , if everything 's okay ... steffy : i know you 're wondering why i called you over here . liam : yeah , i mean , if you need to go somewhere , if you want to , like , run some errands , we can watch kelly and phoebe . steffy : i 'm leaving , but not just for a couple of hours . i 'm heading to europe . i have some presentations over at international , and some meetings with buyers in a few other cities . liam : wow . i mean , i knew you were taking on more at forrester . i just had no idea it was , like .... steffy : yeah , yeah . it all happened really , really quickly . hope : when are you leaving ? steffy : in a couple days . liam : obviously the girls are going with you ? steffy : yeah . yeah . it 's the girls ' first trip . they are my first priority . but i am co - ceo at forrester , and i just want to make sure the company 's running smoothly over there . hope : springtime in paris , i mean , that -- that will be incredible . steffy : yeah , it 'll be busy , but i 'm bringing amelia to help me with the girls , and i 'm hoping my mom can make it out . i know it 's gon na be hard not seeing the girls . they 're gon na miss you . and , you know , it 's not just a business trip . i 'm not just going for me . i 'm hoping my time away will help you , hope . hope : help me ? steffy : maybe a little separation from the girls and me will help you get past the tragedy of losing beth . katie : i 'm not gon na let you try and fix us up , donna . donna : [ scoffs ] that 's not what i 'm doing . katie : that 's exactly what you 're doing . donna : okay , fine . maybe just a little . katie : thank you admitting it . donna : look , i just think it 'd be really beautiful if you and bill found each other again . katie : [ sighs ] look , i know you like a good love story , but my life is not a romance novel . donna : no . but it could be . katie : [ scoffs ] [ cellphone chimes ] bill : all right , well , i , uh , appreciate -- sort of appreciate -- everyone 's concern for my love life , but it 's completely unnecessary . wyatt : this is not just about your love life , dad . justin : it 's about katie , it 's about will . rebuilding your family . wyatt : exactly , and nothing is more important than family . you have been preaching that for as long as i know you , and you 're right . family and friends . right ? it 's all that matters . that 's the most important thing for us . so why not give it another shot , give it another chance , dad ? katie and will is where you belong . [ cellphone chimes ] bill : oh , well . [ laughs ] gon na have to wrap this up . meeting with the mayor at il giardino . wyatt : mm . sally : right , of course . the mayor . bill : yeah , sorry , uh , but i 'm gon na have to run . so while i 'm gone , how about you yentas stop focusing on my personal life and get something done here at spencer publications ? hope : i know you have meetings to attend overseas , but i do n't want you leaving and taking the girls on my account , and then taking them away from liam . steffy : that 's not the only reason i 'm leaving . i thought it would be good for you , so you could have some space so you can heal . liam : i mean , steffy does have a point . maybe a little breather would be helpful , and gives you and me some time together . we can -- we can take a trip , we can -- we can spend some time -- hope : no , i mean , your place is here . liam , your place is with the girls , and if steffy needs to go on a business trip , then you should go with her . steffy : okay , we 've already been through this . you ca n't push us together , hope . hope : i still feel terrible when i think about everything kelly and phoebe are missing out on , having liam around full - time . liam : no way . this is settled . this -- this is not happening . can you stop bringing that up , please ? hope : i am messing everything up . i am keeping you from being a family . liam : no , you 're -- okay . hope : i 'm one of the reasons steffy is taking the girls . steffy : okay , no , no , no . we 're not doing this . we 're not going there again . i 'm taking the girls for a little while . liam will be able to talk to them , he 'll be able to video chat . liam : exactly . steffy : but leaving right now is the best decision for all of us . hope : but the grow so fast at this age . i mean , every week , liam is gon na miss out on so much . steffy : hope , i know you adore phoebe and kelly , but you do not have to worry about them . they 're fine . you need to focus on you . your life . your marriage to liam . ( katy ) i was thrilled to be able to go with my friends to our annual donna : i thought i 'd pop in and say hello . justin : i am so glad that you did . donna : hi ! justin : mwah ! it 's always good to see you . donna : wow , look at you . you look very handsome today . justin : well , thank you . wyatt : okay , you two want to be alone , or anything ? we could probably take off . donna : oh , no , not if you want to hear the good news . justin : what good news ? donna : well , i just came from seeing katie , and i think a reconciliation between her and bill is a possibility . wyatt : that 's funny . i mean , we were literally just talking about that . donna : really ? huh . justin : we 're all for it . sally : did katie say she 'd be into it ? donna : not exactly , but , see , i know my sister , and i can tell she 's hiding her feelings . i think she still has a thing for bill . justin : well , that 's great . let 's hope those two can stay out their way long enough to make it happen . wyatt : [ chuckles ] sally : it would be so nice for will . wyatt : yeah , and let 's face it , who else has the patience to put up with my dad ? donna : [ laughs ] justin : oh , god bless her if she is willing to take your father back . wyatt : right ? donna : yeah , where -- where is bill ? wyatt : oh , he -- he said he had a lunch meeting . donna : oh . where 'd he go ? sally : um , il giardino ? donna : [ scoffs ] wyatt : what ? donna : katie is on her way there , too . sally : huh . wyatt : hmm . katie : hi . bill : katie . hey . katie : um , have you seen brooke ? bill : brooke ? no . katie : i 'm supposed to meet her for lunch , i think . [ laughs ] bill : you think ? katie : well , i -- i am beginning to wonder if i made it for the wrong day because i just do n't remember making plans with her . bill : yeah , i 'm supposed to have a meeting , as well . he 's a busy guy , but normally on time . i do n't know where he is . well , i 'll tell you what , how about , uh , you join me in the meantime ? katie : okay . bill : you know , i 'm not gon na be , uh , too upset if this meeting does n't happen . maybe that means you 'll have lunch with me instead . hope : i just -- i do n't get it . what does you leaving town with the girls have to do with me mourning the loss of my daughter ? steffy : hope , i 've been really worried about you , and i know liam has been , too . you need to get this idea out of your head that you 're keeping a family apart because you 're not . it 's my choice how i want to raise the girls right now , and it 's liam 's choice to be with you . you 're his wife , not me . his place is n't here . liam : my place is with you , hope . hope : in my head , i know what you 're saying make sense , and i get where you 're both coming from , and , yes , in some ways , i do realize that i have been using phoebe to cope with the loss of beth . i -- i do n't know , i still do n't understand this strong connection i have with your child , i ... [ babies crying ] steffy : sounds like the girls . i 'll be right back . liam : i 'll go help you . kelly ! did you have a good nap ? did you have any dreams ? steffy : phoebe , i 'm gon na pass you over to hope . auntie hope . [ giggles ] there you go . aww , there you go . hope : hi ! [ gasps ] hi , pretty girl . steffy : hope , after today , we 're not gon na have this conversation again . you need to stop insisting that liam needs to be with me . take this time to heal . strengthen your marriage , reconnect with liam . maybe even try to start a family . when i lost my baby , i did n't -- i did n't think i could have another child , but ... here i am , a mother of two little girls . when i get back from my trip , i really hope to hear that you 've started to rebuild . hope : i do n't know if i can . steffy : yes , you can . you can , hope . i can see it . i can see it when you hold phoebe . that beautiful maternal instinct to love your own child . there is no doubt in my mind that you are meant to be a mother . liam : no doubt in my mind , either . steffy : when i get back from europe ... i hope that you two find your purpose in life . and that you 're smiling . and , hey , maybe ... you 'll have a little one of your own . a little daughter like phoebe . | steffy calls liam and says it is important if he and hope can come over . he tells hope the girls are fine but ultimately it concerns them . donna wonders if katie 's mood has anything to do with someone special . she thinks she is still in love with bill , but katie quips she does not remember asking for her opinion . donna keeps saying she knows katie wants to put her family back together again and she thinks that is the smartest thing she can do . justin hands out documents to wyatt and sally about the reboot of spectra , now spencer fashions . he tells bill that he works best when he is family minded . he is getting back with both wyatt and liam and working on his relationship with will just fine , so just reunite with katie and make it official . steffy springs it on hope and liam that she is going to europe in a couple of days to help the ceo in the international office . then she adds it is business but it could help hope too in not dwelling on the two girls , but give her some space to really heal . she will be taking the girls with her and she knows liam will miss them . they both agree it will be a good time with paris in springtime . liam tells hope that steffy has a point and they can spend more time with each other . hope wants liam to go with steffy but they both nix that . they can video chat . steffy emphasizes that hope just needs to focus on her marriage with liam . justin welcomes donna to the office and they hug . |

taylor : honey , are you sure you have to go on this business trip ? steffy : i should have gone before now . but i just wanted to give phoebe some time to settle in . now i have a million things on my list that need attention . taylor : yeah , but what about rick ? i mean , he 's in paris . why ca n't he handle this ? steffy : i 'm co - c.e.o . buyers , suppliers , they need to see me face - to - face occasionally . taylor : yeah , but why now ? steffy , phoebe does need to settle in , not fly halfway across the world . steffy : well , they 're gon na have to get used to my lifestyle . it 's theirs , too . taylor : honey , it 's just that i worry about you . you 're taking on too much . steffy : i 'm fine . i have amelia . she can watch the kids . and i 'm really hoping that you 'll be able to join . taylor : well , of course . i do n't want my little granddaughters to forget who i am . so , what about liam ? does he know about the trip ? steffy : yeah . yeah , i invited hope and liam over to the house . i told them together that i was leaving . ridge : i saw hope 's car pull away , so i thought i 'd come down and check on you . liam : yeah . it 's , uh ... it 's kind of nice whenever she gets out of the house and into the real world . ridge : this is tough on both of you , but the focus is always on hope , so ... how are you ? liam : oh , that 's ... i 'm fine . uh , you know , i 'm just ... waiting for us to get back to some semblance of normalcy , whatever that looks like . i mean , hope is still not quite hope - after - beth but , uh ... at this point , it 's just waiting . ridge : and what happens to your grief while you wait ? liam : uh ... me ? i ... i do n't know . i - i drive up to mulholland and i scream into the abyss . other than that ... ridge : okay . i 'm here if you need me . liam : i know . i appreciate that . uh , have you ... have you talked to steffy ? you know ... ? ridge : talked to steffy about what ? about taking the kids to europe ? liam : yeah . ridge : how do you feel about that ? katie : i just -- i - it 's so weird . i have no memory of making these plans with brooke . bill : i 'm starting to wonder about my own . it 's not like the mayor to be late . katie : yeah . i ca n't say the same for my sister , but she usually texts me . oh ... kay . she did text me . she is out of town on business . so i could n't possibly have made plans for today .

[ laughs ] liam : i mean , hope 's been struggling ever since we lost beth , and she 's doing that thing where she blames herself . ridge : see , i - i hate that . why -- why is she blaming herself for something she had no control over ? liam : exac -- this is what i 'm saying . but the only thing that seems to make her feel any better is time at steffy 's with the girls . in particular , phoebe . so ... you know , steffy and i are getting a little concerned about the level of attachment there . and then you add to that the fact that hope is trying to push steffy and me back together again ... ridge : yeah . steffy told me about that . there 's no chance of that happening , is there ? liam : uh , no . ridge : how do you feel about being separated from kelly ? liam : i do n't love it . but what am i gon na do ? steffy needs to be in europe . but i -- i really appreciate her thinking about hope 's well - being , too . ridge : and that 's not a surprise , really , is it ? liam : of course not . it 's ... it 's a reminder of what a good person steffy is . taylor : i 'm serious . i ca n't believe you would push liam away . what are you thinking ? steffy : that hope might need a little consideration . taylor : what about your daughters ? liam is kelly 's father , and phoebe is attaching to him . those little girls are the ones who need consideration . they need to have a father in their home growing up with them . steffy : i know that you have strong feelings about liam and me . taylor : because you belong together . you should be encouraging liam to be here with his daughters , not pushing him off with hope . steffy : i 'm not getting into this with you . i 'm not . taylor : your two little girls need stability , honey . and i do n't understand why you keep denying how much you love liam , because i know you do . and if you love those little girls , if you want what 's best for them , then fight . fight for your family . donna : well , you must really trust your father again if you are letting sally work for him after everything that 's happened . wyatt : well , look , i - i believe dad has changed a little bit . and i know that sounds crazy , but it 's true . like , he has shifted his focus back to family . like you said , he 's trying to make up for lost time with will . and he 's been there for liam and me lately . um ... obviously i 'm gon na give him a little more credit for his attempts than liam is , but , still . justin : you know , i - i think liam is starting to come around . slowly but surely . sally : it does say a lot , though , that bill 's willing to make things right with me . wyatt : hmm . sally : he does n't have to do that . wyatt : oh , he does if he wants me here . justin : well , hey , it 's a gesture that the old dollar bill would n't have made , right ? donna : and you ca n't forget about will and his relationship with his father . i mean , they 're adorable together , and that makes katie happy . wyatt : i know one of dad 's biggest regrets is not being there for us , like to raise us . but , uh ... he 's got that opportunity with will right now . donna : who knows what could happen over an accidental lunch date ? katie : i can not believe it . bill : what ? my love for my son ? katie : no , not that . that you would do magic . learn magic . i never thought that i would see bill spencer doing magic . [ chuckles ] bill : um ... that would be the great spencerini . katie : oh , my god . [ laughs ] bill : come on ! you 've seen me in front of the board . it 's pure magic , right ? katie : very true . i think it 's pretty great , though . bill : well , i 'm not gon na be headlining in vegas , but for purposes of entertaining will ... katie : no , i mean that you would do this for your son , learn something new just for him . bill : there 's nothing i would n't do for that boy . katie : that 's becoming clear . bill : well , it 's official . i 'm not mad at whoever set this up . katie : heh . neither am i . and the food is delicious . bill : well , so is the company . it always feels good being with you . katie : [ sighs ] bill : thorne 's an idiot . katie : oh ! and we were having such a nice lunch . bill : yeah , i - i 'm not gon na start harping on the guy . i know he 's still dealing with his loss . but what he had with you and will ... you 'd have to be a fool to walk away from that . ridge : now , do n't get me wrong . this is not me making a bid for you and steffy . i 'm just glad you remember what a remarkable woman she is . liam : always will . steffy : mom , i know you 're concerned about the girls and me . you want what 's best for us . and to you , that means a father in the house full time . taylor : specifically liam . steffy : yeah . and that would be wonderful if the circumstances were different . but they 're not . liam is married to hope , and i 'm not about to fight her for her husband . taylor : he was your husband . that only changed because of bill , what he did . your daughters need liam . you and i have already sacrificed way too much . hope and brooke are responsible for all of the losses that we have gone through . steffy : you ca n't compare hope to brooke . taylor : okay , hope may not be as brazen as brooke , but she sure did n't care that bill was the reason that your marriage was in trouble . no , she saw that as a weakness . an opportunity . and she took it . my mom 's pain from moderate bill : having a meal with you brings back memories . katie : [ sighs ] bill : used to be my favorite time of day . sitting down to dinner , comparing notes . katie : yeah , i was always amazed at how quickly you could dial down your intensity . bill : ah ... [ chuckles ] you get all the credit for that . katie : mm . bill : it was your calm and your steadiness . i mean , i am -- i am wound up all the time now . except when i 'm being dad to will . katie : you 're wonderful with him . bill : he 's the light of my life . katie : he does have that effect on people , does n't he ?

[ baby cries on monitor ] [ sighs ] it 's phoebe . i 'm gon na go get her . taylor : [ sighs ] katie : oh , oh . excuse me . um , do you know who set this up ? nope . sorry . katie : okay . thank you . ready ? you okay ? bill : i just got horrible news , katie . i - it 's not about will . katie : what is it ? tell me . taylor : [ crying ] oh , no ! no , no , no ! please , no ! that ca n't be !

[ scene_break ] ridge : it still amazes me what steffy was able to do . brooke : you 're her father . she idolizes you . she would have sold her soul to get that company back for you . ridge : yeah , well , that 's exactly what worries me a little . sometimes she just seems a little overzealous . brooke : ( chuckles ) you can say that again . ridge : i mean , that was okay when spencer had us by the throat , but now that we 've got the company back , she still seems so driven . brooke : mostly to rid all traces of logans from forrester creations , which i 'm trying not to take too personally . ridge : look , it 's not an easy time , i know . brooke : ( sighs ) i still think about the day when we 're eventually all going to be able to work together . i think hope took a baby step in that direction tonight . she agreed to drop off the proofs from the `` hope for the future `` line so stephanie and taylor could take a look , and she did n't even put up a fuss that i was sending her into the enemy camp . but then again , she was on cloud nine because of her date , and anything i asked her , i think she would have said yes . ridge : hmm . maybe that 's what steffy needs right now , too -- a new romance . some young guy her own age that she can , uh , get wrapped up in and have a little fun . [ scene_break ] taylor : of all the young men in l.a. , you and hope are interested in the same one ? steffy : i never said i was interested in oliver . taylor : then why were you kissing him ? steffy : 'cause it kinda , like , just happened . taylor : oh , great . great . when brooke finds out about this from her daughter , we 'll all be hearing about it . steffy : i know . she 'll think i 'm purposely going after oliver as another way of messing with the logans . i know . taylor : oh , my god . you bet she will , and then she 'll cry foul , and i 'm sure she 'll find a way to use it to her advantage . steffy : not if i get to her first . taylor : what does that mean ? steffy : well , i got forrester creations back for the family against all odds , did n't i ? taylor : yes , you did , but now i want you to stop doing battling , okay ? your grandfather and grandmother and your dad and i , we have this whole thing under control , all right ? the logans are out . steffy : mom , the logans will always be causing trouble at forrester in any capacity . you know that . so why do n't i just give them a heave - ho ? i 've got the ammunition to make that happen . so why should n't i use it ?

[ scene_break ] taylor : what do you mean you 've got ammunition ? steffy : information -- something i could use to get brooke out of the company for good . taylor : steffy , i want you to listen to me . i - i know you love your family , and i - i love the way you 're devoted to us . and you 're -- you 're such a beautiful and amazing young woman . i just -- i do n't want this to consume you , okay ? i just -- ( sighs ) i do n't want you doing this . this is n't what you should be doing at your age . you should be out having fun , doing things that make you happy and -- and not concerning yourself with th -- this problem with the logans . just leave it alone . your -- your grandmother and i have got this covered . we can handle it . steffy : you should n't have to handle the logans . they should n't be at forrester . and i can make sure they 're not , mom . taylor : steffy , listen to me . you have got to listen to me . it is time to let this go , okay ? let it go . whatever you know about brooke , just leave it alone . she 's going to self - destruct anyway . she always does . it 's gon na come out , whatever it is . okay ? just leave it alone . just stop letting this eat you alive , and -- and go out and -- and date , and meet a lot of people . date men who are free and they do n't have divided loyalties . steffy : ( chuckles ) mom , do n't worry . if i want oliver , i can get him . [ scene_break ] hope : why do you care so much what i think about you ? oliver : because we 're friends , and i like you . hope : you just like steffy more . oliver : did i say that ? hope : you did n't have to say it . that kiss pretty much said it all . oliver : that kiss never should have happened . hope : yeah , but it did , and i saw it , so now ... oliver : you think i want to be with steffy ? hope : look , oliver , you should know that steffy does n't do anything these days without a reason . i 'm not -- i 'm not saying that she 's using you . but i think it 's pretty clear that she 's got an agenda . oliver : getting back at your mother . hope : of course , if you asked her , she 'd say it 's completely justified , since my mom stole her dad away , wrecked her entire childhood . that is , of course , steffy 's selective memory . but , hey , if you want to hang out with her , go ahead . be my guest . oliver : i do n't want to hang out with steffy . it 's not like that between steffy and me . hope : you 're a guy , oliver . steffy is beautiful and fun and unpredictable . you know , she 's got a dark side . that just makes her more fascinating , does n't it ? oliver : hope -- hope : you know , i 'm really glad i saw what i did before we ever went out again , much less went to the dance together . i mean , it 's not like you really want to go anyway . it 's just a dumb high school dance . oliver : would you stop , please ? i want to go to the dance with you . i want to go out tonight with you . i want you , hope , not steffy . i think we could have something really special . i know we can . will you just give me another chance ? will you give me another chance ? hope : yes , i will . | while stopping by taylor 's to deliver some photo proofs , hope spies olivier kissing steffy . she does n't buy their excuse that it was just a friendly kiss . they trade barbs and hope leaves with oliver close behind . brooke tells ridge that hope seems smitten with this new guy , oliver , a d. j . she 's real excited for hope on her first official date . she hopes he does n't disappoint her . before she can get her car started , oliver catches up with hope and begs her to give him a chance to explain . when taylor comes home , steffy explains why hope was there and left so suddenly . she is not admitting that she is interested in oliver too , but they were kissing . so now hope will go tell brooke and she will think the worst of steffy of going after another guy that is already taken . |

( sighs ) i think just being back here makes me think about a lot of things that have happened to our family , and ... ( inhales sharply ) not all of them have been good . it 's kind of been hard for all of us . but i think it 's -- i think it 's been especially painful for you , because when i came back , you had a lot of hopes for our family , and then your father and i ended up getting divorced . and then some of the choices i made , um ... some of the choices i 've made in men -- people we do n't even really like . ( laughs ) nick and ... well , recently rick . thomas : i 'm just glad you did n't end up with that jerk . when i think of losing phoebe , the sick feeling that i get -- you know , i wonder how rick feels when he 's fooling around with the sister of the girl that he killed . taylor : you 've always been so protective of your sisters . i know how much you love them . i know that . and they know -- they know you love them . and they 've always looked up to you . thomas : why are you talking like this ? taylor : because i know how intensely loyal you are to our family . i know how much your family means to you . thomas : this is about rick , is n't it -- - the things that happened to him ? thomas : you think i did it .

[ massimo chuckles ] massimo : finally , a forrester decision that i can agree with . deacon : oh , come on , massimo . do n't be that way . now you know i 'm a team player , and if you draft me for the marrone team , i promise you , you wo n't be sorry . caitlin : so , i 'm guessing you probably heard all that . thomas : that your dad saved someone 's life ? wow ! caitlin : yes -- but i 'm sure that 's just the beginning of it . thomas : how 's that ? caitlin : you have to understand my dad . to him , his job is way more than just pulling someone out of a burning building . it 's about helping them cope through the trauma that follows . thomas : i do n't get it . caitlin : what do you mean ? your dad clearly rocks . his buddy , paul , at the firehouse says he 's like some kind of legend at the department . caitlin : yeah ? thomas : well , it just does n't jibe with his attitude about forrester creations . he seems like the kind of guy who 'd be thrilled that his daughter 's realizing her dreams . what 's the deal with your dad ? amber : i passed out in the fire . i almost died ! hector : but you did n't . you 're alive -- and you 're healthy . and you have so much to be thankful for . amber : thankful ? my entire life was in that apartment . my entire life was destroyed in that apartment ! all of my memories -- all of my belongings -- there 's nothing left ! hector : except the most important thing -- you . and that 's where you have to focus all of your energy right now -- on yourself . amber : who are you to lecture me ? you were n't even there . hector : yes , i was . amber : you were ? hector : i 'm a fireman , amber . i 'm the one who pulled you out . jackie : darling , you are always saying you can use some more intellectual capital around here . massimo : the key word is `` intellectual . `` look , nick and i appreciate your enthusiasm . but everyone on my management team has a college degree -- most of them have m.b.a.s . what credentials do you have ? deacon : you must know i have the most valuable degree there is -- i graduated from the school of hard knocks . massimo : that might help you get a job baby - sitting some rock star -- or maybe even a glorified bouncer -- but , frankly , it is of little value to my company . jackie : darling , i mean -- i do n't think eric would have hired deacon , if he did n't think he had potential . i mean , he has a breadth of experience -- massimo : jacqueline , you 're being too kind -- just like bridget . you see , our friend , deacon here wormed his way into forrester because bridget 's heart is too big for her own good . and i sure as hell am not going to let you worm your way into marone . so , as far as i 'm concerned , this impromptu meeting is over .

jackie : oh , please . that was just his knee - jerk reaction , that 's all . once he 's had a chance to digest it -- it 'll be fine . deacon : listen , save your breath , all right ? jackie , i do n't beg . and i do n't keep secrets from a woman -- not from a woman that i once cared about . for someone i do n't even know . caitlin : dad 's attitude toward forrester is a little weird . but do n't take it personally , thomas . there 's definitely something else going on with him -- i do n't know . it 's something about that whole world that you and your family are from . thomas : right . the world with the fancy cars and parties . caitlin : no , it 's not that . he 's not against wealthy people . it 's just when they 're closed minded about certain things , he seems to freak out . thomas : but my family 's not like that . caitlin : i know . and i think that , deep down , my dad knows that , too . it 's just the way he 's been acting , though . it 's like he 's reacting to something . something that must 've really hurt him . thomas : like what ? caitlin : i do n't know . he wo n't say much . but whatever it is , thomas , it drives him . i think that 's what makes him so sensitive to people who have gone through tough times -- because he 's been through some , himself . thomas : hard to fault a guy who does so much good . caitlin : i know , he 's really great . i 'm really glad you came by . thomas : but i 'll be making copies all by my lonesome today . caitlin : well , i could n't go with you , anyway . i got ta baby - sit these little guys . thomas : oh , i did n't realize we had company . caitlin : yeah . they 're my brother jimmy 's puppies . thomas : a brother i did n't even know you had , until paul told me about him . a your dad adopted him , right ? caitlin : yeah , jimmy lost his family in a fire . so now we 're his family . he does spend some time with his aunt and uncle . but he pretty much grew up with us . thomas : jimmy 's a lucky kid . caitlin : well , we 're the lucky ones . you must think my family is totally bizarre . thomas : uh -- inspiring is more like it . i hope i get to spend more time with the real mr. ramirez -- and really get to know him . caitlin : yeah . i 'd like that , too . amber : you saved me ?

brooke : oh , if only we could stay in this moment forever -- no worries , no distractions . and this is the one thing that i can truly count on . ridge : ca n't change the world , can we ? just the way we respond to it , i guess . brooke : huh . therein lies a dilemma . i mean , how do you do that without hurting the people that you love the most ? ridge : do n't have an answer for that one . and even if there was an answer , i do n't know that i 've ever found it . is there something you want to share with me ? brooke : it 's bridget . she may be getting back together with nick , and i 'm really worried about her . ridge : well , they two -- they 're two adults that were married to each other , so i 'm sure they can figure out whether they want to be involved or not . ridge : by your expression , you do n't , uh , feel that same way . brooke : she could really get hurt . i did n't realize that she still had feelings for nick . ridge : maybe bridget 's gon na get hurt . you ca n't control her life , logan . is n't this what we were talking about ? brooke : ( sighs ) ridge : maybe you just need to step back and let her find out on her own . i got a meeting with ashley . brooke : ashley ? ridge : yeah , the new fragrance line -- we 're gon na debut it with the fall line . brooke : should n't i be there with you ? ridge : no , no . i 've got it covered . i 'll see you later . rick 's voice : nick is moving on . if you do n't accept that , then ridge will be the one moving on . and -- and who knows ? he could end up with ashley .

[ scene_break ] nick : did i make her happy ? ( clears throat ) ( laughs ) well , we both slept well . katie : well , sleep is good . so , uh , where 's bridget now ? nick : she went to work . she said she had a busy day . katie : do you miss the sea ? nick : do i what ? katie : last night while i was babysitting while you were , um ... well , i - i - i ran across some photos of you on a boat at sea . nick : yeah . yeah , i do miss it sometimes . [ scene_break ] taylor : yeah , the last thing i have to do is find a way to work through all this frustration i have about getting brooke out of my life completely . hi , sweet pea . rick : well , i ca n't say that i blame you . i mean , she 's definitely hurt you countless times , especially when you were married to ridge . taylor : mm - hmm . so now i guess she 's going to ride off into the sunset with him after all . jack : ( fusses ) rick : yeah , i 'm not too sure about that one . ashley : oh , ridge , things are always complicated between brooke and you . there 's nothing new about that . besides , you know , are n't all relationships complicated ? ridge : when you put it like that , i guess they are . ashley : all right , what 's going on ? you can talk to me . frankly , i 'm surprised that brooke has n't dragged you to the altar by now . ridge : oh , it 's not for lack of trying . ashley : oh , yeah ? ridge : the other night , we had another falling - out over the whole nick / taylor / jack episode . she actually got down on one knee and proposed to me . she wanted to get married right there and then . ashley : what 'd you say ? ridge : i said no . it just did n't feel right . bridget : mom , i 'm not just thinking of myself here . i 'm -- i am thinking of you and ridge and what would be best for your relationship . brooke : honey , ridge and i are fine . do n't give it another thought . i just wish you and nick the best , and i pray that he 's not going to let you down . bridget : i have to do this , mom . i have to . i just have to take this chance at finding happiness . [ scene_break ] katie : is it the sea you miss , or is it your other life ? nick : well , i 've been around the sea my whole life . it 's in my blood . katie : that does n't really answer my question . nick : no , i guess not . ( groans ) well , you know , life changes . things change . you just learn to roll with it . katie : hmm . nick : would you like some coffee ? bridget made a pot before she left . katie : sure . thanks . nick : how do you take it ? cream ? sugar ? katie : uh , no , i like it unadorned . nick : why am i not surprised ? you seem like a lady who likes her coffee black . the stronger , the better . katie : hmm . mmm . it 's good , strong . nick : yeah . that 's how bridget likes it . [ scene_break ] ridge : i 'm sorry . you do not need to be involved in my business with brooke . ashley : oh , it 's okay . i mean , i guess everybody needs , um , a friend to talk to . i 'm not gon na go running to brooke and rub it in , not that i would mind that much . yeah , uh ... ridge : ( chuckles ) ashley : i think you need to know something , though . now that you did n't accept brooke 's proposal to run off and elope , you 're probably questioning her feelings , right ? and i do n't blame you . i mean , nobody likes to get hurt . 'cause , you know , when our short engagement ended , i was -- well , i was hurt . um , i guess what i 'm trying to say is that ... um , i 'm not a doormat , okay ? not for you , and not for any man , okay ? ridge : ashley , i realize that . i know that well . you are a tremendous , amazing woman . ( sighs ) i 'm always gon na care for you . ashley : okay . thank you . i 'll always care for you , too . ridge : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] rick : my mom asked ridge to elope with her , but he turned her down . taylor : well , does n't that just serve her right ? as much as i 'd like to stand here and gloat , i think i 'd rather spend my precious time with my baby boy and focus all my attention on you . that 's right . oops . rick : ooh , taylor , speaking of precious time , we have so precious little of it . i arranged to drop the baby off with jackie . taylor : here . oh , already ? rick : i know . i 'm sorry . taylor : no , no , no , no . it 's too soon . oh , i want to spend more time with you . sweetheart , it breaks my heart to leave you . jack : ( grunts ) taylor : i do n't want to be away from you . ( sighs ) thank you . thank you so much for bringing him to me . i do n't know how to thank you enough . rick : you just make sure that jack stays yours for the rest of your life , okay ? taylor : well , that 's exactly what i intend to do . are you sure you 're brooke 's son ? rick : i am , yes . ( laughs ) taylor : hmm . rick : look , taylor , i just -- i want you to know that ever since we -- we kissed , i 've just been consumed with thoughts of you . jack : ( grunts ) taylor : i think your mother would go ballistic if she heard you say that . rick : yes , i know she -- she will . um , she 's not gon na be thrilled when she finds out how i feel about you , but ... jack : ( fussing ) rick : taylor , i 'm a grown man , and i know what i want , and i want you . jack : ( cooing ) [ scene_break ] bridget : so , mom , you 're telling me how committed you are to ridge . you need to make sure that you do n't send any mixed signals to nick . he needs to be clear . so no meetings at insomnia , no holding hands . i need to believe you this time . you 've hurt me too many times in the past . i - i - i do n't want us to go through that again . if i get my heart broken and i lose nick , i can deal with that . but what i ca n't deal with is losing him one more time to you . brooke : honey , i will not interfere . i will not stand between you and nick . that is my promise to you . bridget : 'cause without you in the picture , mom , i think that we can make it this time . things can happen . as a matter of fact , i know it can happen , 'cause there 's no one that 's gon na stand in our way . [ scene_break ] katie : ( sighs ) okay , let 's just , um , cut to it . i - i 'm not really here for my sweater . i - i do n't want any coffee . i just -- i want to know what 's going on . nick : what would you like me to say ? katie : i would like you to say that you had a wonderful time last night , that you and bridget had a fabulous night . nick : we did . katie : okay , how about a little enthusiasm ? nick : you 're awfully nosy . katie : i am not ! nick : you ask a lot of questions . katie : well , i have a vested interest . i am responsible , in a way , for this . i encouraged bridget to come over here and try to get back her life with you . nick : well , maybe you should stay out of other people 's lives . katie : you know , that girl adores you . and she wants nothing more than to have a life with you and -- and -- and make you happy and take care of your son . you guys have so much history together . i just do n't believe that you do n't still have feelings for her . nick : i do have feelings for bridget . katie : ( sighs ) well , are they for real ? because if they 're not , then -- then i have made a big mistake encouraging this . i mean , i -- bridget should run from you as fast as she possibly can . i had you pegged for a stand - up guy , but -- but i 'm afraid that i 've misread things . you would n't sleep with bridget if you still were hung up on brooke , would you ? nick , you would n't do that . | while they play cozy , ridge gets brooke to admit she is concerned about bridget getting involved again with nick . he points out that she has been there before , so she certainly can take care of herself . bridget wakes sleepy- head nick up the next morning and she pours her heart out that last night meant a lot to her . nosy katie stops by nick 's and tries to worm all the details out of nick , if he made bridget happy ? rick pops in on taylor at work and surprises her by bringing jack by . she is very grateful and feels by going to therapy everyday and a.a. that her life is getting back to normal . brooke will not be a part of jack 's life , and brooke will not control hers anymore . |
rick : mom ! hey , mom ! where are you ? you got to get out here and celebrate . brooke : coming !

[ laughs ] rick : today was priceless . thomas droning on and on , the lights go down , the music comes up , the models come out , and then there you are . bill : i told you we could pull this off . brooke : well , you 've said many things that have turned out to be true . bill : remember that next time you 're tempted to doubt me . brooke : this is so unexpected . [ laughs ] i get to work with my amazingly talented children , and i get to turn this company around and make it profitable again . rick : now , mom , i know that the quarterly profits are n't where they should be -- bill : well , that 's why we had to move . do n't sweat it too much . once we launch brooke 's bedroom , the figures will turn around . brooke : yeah . there 's no way you 're gon na lose the presidency because of the quarterly report . in fact , i think you 're gon na turn out golden . rick : you 're amazing . i got to get back to my office before thomas tries to pull a coup of his own . brooke : okay . rick : great job . seriously . both of you . bill : [ sighs ] brooke : our first joint venture . assuming it was n't a hit and run . bill : do i look like a guy who 's gon na mess with a winning combination ? brooke : [ laughs ] bill : i 'm there for you , brooke . all the way . [ scene_break ] rick : [ chuckles ] it was a joke , but then , uh , here you are . thomas : what ? rick : nothing . what can i help you with , thomas ? thomas : i just wanted to say congratulations . you must be proud . your mommy saved your butt doing what she does best . rick : mm . thomas : taking off her clothes . rick : that was beneath you , but i understand why you 're lashing out . my mother just blew that whole proposal of yours right off the map , so i 'll give you that one , but do n't ever , ever disrespect my mother . thomas : we both know the brooke bedroom relaunch is a bad idea . rick : [ sighs ] thomas : as long as we cling to the past , we 'll never move forward , and we need to , with a new business model because the old one no longer works . i think your first - quarter figures should have told you that . rick : brooke 's bedroom is gon na turn that around . thomas : a 50-year - old woman modeling lingerie . ooh . edgy . meanwhile , my vision will make us more competitive and relevant . rick : you know , maybe , thomas , i mean , maybe ... you should just let go of that dream . because it seems to me that you 're the only one around this place that seems to believe in it . thomas : my vision is the future . and eric will realize that once this throwback line sinks under its own weight . your days as president are numbered . so make your mark while you can . [ scene_break ] donna : did brooke agree ? well , i - i think her being more involved at forrester is a great idea . katie : i do , too . it gives her something to embrace , you know ? donna : and this was bill 's suggestion . katie : yes , my brilliant husband . donna : okay , well , maybe bill is good for brooke . katie : that 's what i 've been trying to tell you . donna : it 's just awfully generous . katie : what do you mean ? donna : oh , i do n't know . most women do n't let brooke near their husbands , let alone encourage a friendship . you must be pretty confident . katie : well , i trust my husband and i trust my sister . [ scene_break ] brooke : [ laughs ] taylor : you just made a complete spectacle of yourself . brooke : well , i thought it went rather well . eric gave the go - ahead for brooke 's bedroom , in spite of your influence . where is he , by the way ? i 'd really like to thank him . taylor : he left to genoa city . brooke : oh . taylor : you know , brooke , you just basically hijacked my son 's presentation . brooke : it was n't personal , taylor . i just needed eric 's attention . taylor : so you stripped down to your underwear ? brooke : [ laughs ] oh , there 's nothing wrong with underwear . it 's not scandalous . i mean , you wear it . for eric , apparently . taylor : [ sighs ] that 's besides the point . that 's not what we 're talking about . bill : no , that 's precisely the point . look , taylor -- brooke 's bedroom is a proven entity . saved the company once . rinse , repeat . we all win . taylor : why do n't you ask thomas if he feels like a winner right now ? [ scene_break ] bill : look , thomas is relatively bright , talented . but he 's also wrong . forrester creations is not about warehousing , click - and - buy . it 's tactile , high - end , classy . taylor : brooke in her skivvies ? yeah . very classy . bill : brooke is going to pull this company up by its bootstraps . she has nothing to be ashamed of . taylor : so , why are you involved in this ? bill : i 'm a shareholder , a financial stake . taylor : really ? brooke : i know you 're disappointed for thomas , but bill is right . this is all about the bottom line . taylor : no , this is about you being an attention junkie . [ scoffs ] this act is 15 years old . you ca n't just dust it off , repackage it , and pretend like it 's something fresh and new . you look like a fool , brooke . a desperate , aging fool . [ scene_break ] rick : if it goes down easier for you to think that i 'm gon na lose my position , feel free . but in the meantime , i believe that that door has my name on it -- not yours . thomas : well , like i said , enjoy it while you can . you think your first- quarter numbers were off ? just wait . your mother is going to sink this place . rick : my mother has never been anything but an asset to this place , and that 's not about to change . brooke 's bedroom is gon na open up a whole new market for us -- sexy , sophisticated women over 40 embracing their sensuality . you know , instead of hoping that it fails , why do n't you do something constructive , like design a new line of your own ? and be grateful that we are moving in the right direction . thomas : you 'd like that , would n't you , if i just took myself out of the running ? well , that 's not gon na happen . 'cause i know what this company needs , and it 's not some retro , embarrassing lingerie line . rick : no , you need to accept it , thomas . your mother made an end run for you by using her new status with eric . it did n't work . move on . [ scene_break ] donna : is everything okay ? katie : oh , yes . sleeping like the angel he is . donna : well , i thought so . katie : really ? donna : it just sounded , you know , like a -- more like a snore than a waking - up thing , but you left before i could say anything . [ both chuckle ] katie : i hear any sound , and it 's like a trigger . bill thinks i 'm overcompensating for being away when i had postpartum depression . donna : is he right ? katie : probably . [ chuckles ] you know , he just -- he just wants more -- more of me , more attention , more ... donna : more sex ? katie : yeah . donna : [ laughs ] katie : maybe i should plan something special . donna : well , count me in for a babysitter , please , 'cause it 's not like my social calendar is jumping or anything . katie : well , i might take you up on that sooner than you think . donna : okay , good . you should . i mean , bill adores you , of course , but , you know , a man has needs . katie : and if i do n't fulfill them , then somebody else will ? donna : well , i - i did not say that . katie : [ sighs ] they kissed . donna : who ? katie : bill and brooke . while i was away . they kissed . donna : [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] brooke : i do n't expect your support . i 'm aware that this galls you on so many levels . taylor : yes , it does . and we 're not doing it . brooke : excuse me ? taylor : eric did n't have time to think about this . he was pressured into it , and he 'll think about it and he 'll realize that this whole relaunch is not only absurd , it 's undignified . bill : that is exactly the kind of thinking that has hobbled this company . undignified ? what does that even mean in today 's day and age ? brooke 's bedroom is the shot in the arm this company needs , and i am behind it 100 % . taylor : well , you would be , i guess . brooke : meaning ? taylor : well , bill 's your number - one fan . that 's becoming painfully obvious . brooke : and eric is yours . so what ? taylor : eric is available . bill : you know , doctor , the more time i spend around you , the more i realize that you could use a few sessions on your own office couch . maybe then you could step back and be objective . deal with that personal baggage you carry around concerning brooke and see the profit potential . brooke : do n't waste your breath . taylor is n't a businesswoman . that 's why she ca n't think like one . this is how it 's going to be . we 're not gon na let forrester creations pinwheel into the future , a future that only thomas can see . there 's not gon na be any discounts , no warehouse outlets . we 're not gon na change the structure of the company . we 're gon na do what works , and what works is brooke 's bedroom . and there 's nothing that you can do to stop us . [ scene_break ] rick : i realize that this is a very frustrating time for you . stephanie made eric c.e.o . , he appointed me president . all your ideas for revamping forrester are falling upon deaf ears . but you are an asset to this company . you 're very talented . you 're forward - thinking , and we need that . and it would be to everyone 's benefit if you would just get on board . caroline : is this a high - level confab , or can a girl interrupt ? i need to speak with you , mr. president . thomas : he 's all yours . rick : think about what i said , thomas . thomas : yeah . caroline : well , he lives , he breathes , he exists . still the handsome guy i 'm crazy about . rick : well , are n't you in a cheery mood . caroline : well , i 'm kind of hoping that you 'll give me a reason to be cheery . rick : there 's a lot going on around here . caroline : and not to mention your second job at dayzee 's . hope we 're not in danger of losing you to the food - service industry . rick : [ chuckles ] not a chance . caroline : good , because then i would miss you even more than i already do . [ scene_break ] donna : okay , okay . i did not hear you right . bill and brooke have been kissing ? katie : once . donna : oh , well , that 's one time too many . please tell me you did not walk in and see this . katie : no , taylor overheard them talking about it , and at first , i did n't want to believe it , and then i confronted brooke . donna : and she admitted it ? katie : more like she did n't deny it . i mean , you know brooke . whatever she 's feeling , it 's always written all over her face . donna : you seem , uh , awfully okay with this . katie : well [ sighs ] i mean , it 's not like they 're carrying on and having some torrid affair , right ? and the thing is , it 's like i feel responsible . the postpartum had me so messed up , and i thought that if bill and brooke connected , then it would be good for will . it seems hypocritical to be angry because they did . besides , they -- they promised that it would never happen again , and i believe them . [ scene_break ] taylor : eric definitely was n't thinking very clearly . you , at your age , parading around in your underwear ? you 're going to make forrester a laughingstock . bill : you really do n't see the appeal ? all right , let me simplify this for you . hope for the future , the way the younger demographic wanted to emulate hope . the older demographic is going to want to look like brooke . and that sound you hear -- shh . ka - ching . taylor : exactly how involved do you plan on being in this venture ? bill : whatever brooke needs , she 's got it . taylor : so let me make sure i 've got it . you and brooke are going to be putting your heads together over bra and panties while your wife is at home dealing with diapers . you have the nerve to call my relationship with eric inappropriate ? this is your sister 's husband . they have a baby together . for goodness ' sakes , brooke . examine what you 're really doing here , and stop yourself before the damage is irreversible . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] caroline : so , thomas ' presentation turned into quite the show . rick : yeah . caroline : your mom looks amazing in lingerie . rick : does n't she , though ? caroline : mm - hmm . rick : it was so cool that eric decided to relaunch the line . caroline : i agree . but right now , i just wanted to show you that brooke is n't the only one here that can rock some lingerie . [ laughs ] it 's yours , rick . just reach out and take it . [ scene_break ] katie : you seem upset . is everything okay ? taylor : uh , no , actually . that 's why i 'm here . katie : what 's going on ? taylor : i was just at forrester . your sister 's up to her old tricks -- flaunting herself in her underwear . katie : what are you talking about ? taylor : do you want to know who she 's with ? she 's with your husband . it is n't good . i know the signs . there is a situation going on with bill and brooke , and it 's going to lead to nothing but heartache ... for you . [ scene_break ] brooke : oh , i swear , that woman is so irritating . bill : what woman ? yeah , that 's right . that 's what i want you to do . forget about taylor . her opinion is irrelevant . you killed it today . brooke 's bedroom is back . brooke : i was a little nervous up there . could you tell ? bill : no , not a bit . are you kidding ? when you were carried out on that bed , standing there in your lingerie , it just looked like another day at the office . brooke : [ laughs ] i thought you were crazy when you said let 's bring back the line , but here we are . it 's really happening . bill : proving that you have to do whatever i tell you . brooke : and i will . well , most things . bill : well , you better strap in , 'cause once production starts , we 're off to the races . brooke : i know . i 'm so excited , and i 'm so happy to be contributing to forrester creations again . this is great . i mean , it makes me feel so alive . bill : [ chuckles ] it looks fantastic on you . brooke : thank you . and i 'm not just doing this for forrester creations . i 'm doing this for my children , too . 'cause my success is their success . and it 's all because of you . you gave me my confidence , you built me up , you supported me , and you believed in me , and now here we are , at the start of this glorious adventure . bill : taking it together . brooke : side - by - side . bill : i 'll be right there . brooke : good , because i still have my doubts , you know , especially when somebody like taylor says , `` at your age . `` bill : you know what ? just let taylor choke on her bitter pills . i mean ... look at you . brooke : [ chuckles ] bill : you 're gorgeous . stunning . dynamic . this line -- it 's gon na go through the roof . it will surpass our expectations , and your children -- their positions will be secure , and you -- you 're gon na be appreciated for the visionary that you are . and i 'm proud to be a part of this , brooke . brooke : i 'm going to depend on you . bill : never hesitate . brooke : [ laughs ] i still ca n't believe this . i 'm just trying to wrap my head around it . my line back in production . you know , if it flies , forrester creations is gon na be on top again . bill : oh , it 'll fly . brooke : brooke 's bedroom . this is so exciting . and with my not - so - secret ...

katie : oh , i did n't notice that ridge was in the room . i do n't see him here . i mean , it 's like you 've locked yourself in this fancy little tower , and you 're hiding behind your armor . who do you talk to ? rick : i talk to maya . katie : right . and she just reflects back to you whatever she thinks you want to hear . you should talk to your family . i 'm worried about your mother . i do n't like the way she sounds . she 's lonely , and loneliness is bad for brooke . it 's like the house is burning down around her , and she 's not sure where to jump ... or how far she 'll fall . maya : this is getting us nowhere . nicole : i just want the truth . maya : what do you know about the truth ? you 've been lying since you showed up on my doorstep . nicole : it was n't like that . i was just as determined as you to make something out of myself . nicole : i studied my butt off , maya . well , computer science is n't some chump major . the harder i tried , the further i got behind , and finally , i had no choice but to drop out . maya : so you show up here . nicole : we 're family . family 's supposed to help each other . is n't that how it works ? maya : i would n't know . i 've been an outcast from mine my whole life . you should 've told us the truth . nicole : look ... the only reason you 're putting this back on me is because you feel the walls closing in . you know . i know . only you ca n't be sure what to do about it . that scares you . maya : do i look scared ? i do n't have anything -- nicole : `` anything to be ashamed of . `` maybe that 's true . i mean , who am i to judge ? but rick ? he thinks you 've been completely honest with him . maya : i have been honest with him . nicole : only you have n't told him everything , have you ?

katie : you know , if you want someone here at forrester that you can count on , why not your mother ? rick : oh . well , you should 've been here when my mother ordered me to stay married to caroline . katie : well , i 'm sure she was in shock . we all were . and she was trying to save your marriage . i hear that the divorce is final , except for the waiting period . rick : yeah , you know , it 's , uh -- it 's been good . it 's closure . yeah , it 's funny , though . what caroline ca n't understand is , once that trust is gone , it 's gone for good . there 's no getting it back . maya : there 's a lot you do n't know about rick and me . you think i set my sights on him because he 's rich and well - connected . it 's not how it was . when i first met rick , i thought he was a waiter . nicole : a waiter ? yeah , right . maya : i was sitting at a coffee shop . he was working as a waiter and did n't let on who he was . when i finally found out , it was too late . i 'd fallen for him . i totally freaked out and ran away . nicole : why ? did n't you think he 'd accept you ? maya : how could i expect that ? i was still trying to accept myself . nicole : i do n't want to cause problems for you and rick . but you kicking me out , i ca n't let you do that ... even if that means i have -- maya : enough . i will not have you blackmailing me , nicole , so either tell me this secret that you say you have or get out . i mean it . no more games . wyatt : all right , well , i should be going . quinn : oh , honey , so soon ? wyatt : tell deacon that -- quinn : that you 're sorry that you missed him ? wyatt : yeah . you know , i 'm still curious . this friend that he 's rescuing ... i 'd like to know more . would n't you ? deacon : brooke , what brought this on ? brooke : katie and bill stopped by . got back from their honeymoon . my sister , she 's so -- she 's so happy . deacon : do n't you understand that 's because of you ? i mean , you did this . you stepped aside and gave your sister and spencer a second chance . you should feel proud about that . brooke : yeah . for once in my life , i did something selfless . deacon : okay . well , why do you want to undo it by climbing into the bottle ? what do you think katie would say if she knew that -- brooke : do n't . do n't tell katie . do n't tell anybody . promise . deacon : brooke , come on . i know the drill . come on . i know that anonymity is the bedrock of a.a . i would never say anything . but we got to get all this stuff out of here -- all of it . it 's just -- it 's too much of a temptation . quinn : honey , i appreciate your concern , but i have complete faith in my fiancé . and whoever his friend is , is lucky to have deacon on his side . brooke : [ sighs ] deacon : all right , brooke , we got to get all of this stuff out of the house . okay . uh ... this goes . this goes . okay . say goodbye . [ sighs ] [ sighs ] okay . uh , where else ? i -- i know . brooke : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] brooke : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] deacon : [ sighs ] is there anything left in the house ? brooke ? brooke : [ sighs ] thank you . [ sighs ] thank you , deacon . deacon : it 's okay . brooke : [ chuckles ] katie : you know , we actually have a lot more in common than you may think . the truth is very important to both of us . rick : i can honestly say i 'd rather be alone than loved by a liar . katie : well , you just might get your wish ... because people are n't perfect . they get afraid , they make mistakes , and sometimes ... people lie . rick : [ sighs ] you know , that philosophy might work for you , aunt katie , but i 'm pretty sure the truth is not part of the spencer code of arms . i do n't have to compromise ... because what maya tells me ... i can believe . maya : well , this big secret you think you know -- now 's your chance . tell me . nicole : i 'd rather hear it from you . maya : just as i suspected . there 's nothing . you just want me to think there -- nicole : please stop . i 'm not the enemy here . maya : you 're certainly not my friend . playing rick , trying your damnedest to intimidate me . and for what ? a modeling gig ? nicole : i just want someone to be honest with me , for once . someone in our family . god knows mom and dad have n't been . maya : what are you talking about ? nicole : the reason they never mentioned you , this sister i had that no one spoke of . i 'd ask about you , and they just turned around like they did n't even hear me . even those times you 'd come over , those few times for my birthday , they 'd barely look at you . only they never explained why . and i know i was a little kid . but how could they act like you never existed and forbid me to reach out to you ? other families did n't do that . so why did mine ? i did n't understand it . i wrote to you , i sent the letters , sent you e - mails ... and you never got back to me . maya : i was n't wanted at home . nicole : who cares about mom and dad ? ! [ voice breaking ] they turned on you , they hurt you ! and , well , you did that to me . i was your little sister . i needed you . i wanted you all those years , growing up , and you were n't there for me . and i wondered why . but now i think i might know . i stumbled across what could be the reason for all of this . i wish you could tell me yourself . the reason i have n't seen you since you left home is because ... you 've been living a whole nother lifestyle . i 've done research , and i know why our parents kept it a secret . maya : [ voice breaking ] what secret ? nicole : you 're not my sister , maya . you 're not `` maya `` at all . you 're myron . you 're my brother . | nicole tells maya that if she is n't ashamed of anything then she can tell her the truth . maya is defensive and says why should she when nicole has not been truthful . she told them she was a college student and played on rick 's sympathy for a place to stay . she says nicole is her little sister and she 'd like them to be close but not if she is going to be controlling and threatening . maya tells her it is time to go but nicole says she is not going anywhere until she knows the truth . katie stops in to see rick and says she is worried about brooke and asks when rick has last seen or talked to her . rick replies that he is giving her a cooling off period since coming back from milan . she was not happy that he broke up with caroline and she is not thrilled about maya . wyatt walks into the loft and finds quinn flipping through a bridal magazine . she jokes these are nothing like her . perhaps she will choose black . wyatt just wants her to slack of a bit and not be in a big hurry to marry . she still has plenty of time . she knows he still has concerns about deacon . meanwhile deacon is trying to talk brooke out of having another drink . she does n't want to talk ; she just wants to block it all out . he says he will stay as long as she needs him to . brooke says one drink is not the end of the world but deacon says it can be . one can simply lead to another . she says she is not an alcoholic but he reminds her that she went to an aa meeting so do not let this beat her . they made a pact that they will lean on each other should she fall off the ladder , so they can do this together . |

[ cellphone chimes ] ... by the way ? brooke : i almost forgot what it was like to be this happy . ridge : that 's what i want for you -- happiness . every hour of every day . brooke : oh . did i mention ? i spoke with hope , and she filled me in on the sweet , little wedding that they had down at the cabin . they 're really excited , and i 'm so thrilled for them , but not as thrilled as i am for us . i really did n't like us being apart , ridge . you over at eric 's and me here alone . ridge : i did n't like it either . brooke : but i know somebody who did like it , and i 'm not talking about thomas . quinn : who knows if brooke and ridge are back together again . shauna : did he spend the night here last night ? quinn : no . but that does n't mean any -- look , even if brooke and ridge have reconcied , it does n't mean that it 's permanent . yes , thomas was the reason that the two of them broke up in the first place and now he 's no longer an option . but come on , those two have such a long history of breaking up and making up . you just need to bide your time . shauna : and what ? what , ridge 's commitment is somehow gon na evaporate ? i mean , no . quinn , we know that 's not gon na happen . i mean , he is all in that relationship . the thing is , though , i do n't know if -- if brooke is . bill : sally 's life is so much better because of you . katie : i just hated the idea of her facing her own death by herself . bill : well , now she 's not . she 's got wyatt in her life in a way that she could n't even imagine just a few days ago . and everything 's turned around at forrester . not only does she have her career back , but ridge is going to feature her designs in the forrester couture line . katie : hmm . and that was something he did n't have to do . bill : is this where i 'm supposed to say what a good guy he is ? katie : would it kill you to say that ? bill : probably . katie : [ chuckles ] bill : but i will acknowledge that he did a nice thing . but it does n't compare to what you 've done . you have made sally 's final days so much better . sally : [ sighs ] wyatt : everything okay ? sally : yeah . yep . everything 's fine . wyatt : is it , like , important ? sally : [ laughs ] no . it was just the president of the sally spectra fan club . wanted to schedule our next meeting . wyatt : oh , really ? can i join ? sally : you are a sally spectra fan ? wyatt : i am a sally spectra superfan . what ? sally : how is it that you always know how to make me smile no matter what ? wyatt : that 's what i 'm here for -- to make you smile . [ laughs ] ridge : [ sighs ] hi . i 've made the decision for us . i 'm not gon na look back anymore , only forward . brooke : yeah ? ridge : these last few months were awful for me -- not being with you . but it made me realize something . it made me realize that our love ... is stronger than ever . so i 'm gon na be with you every day of my life -- in this bed , out of this bed , anywhere . i do n't care . but i 'm committed to you , only you , brooke logan forrester . brooke : [ laughs ] and i 'm committed to you . to us . quinn : you are preaching to the choir where brooke 's character is concerned . that woman worked her way through the forrester family . i mean , no man or son- in - law was off - limits . and then , of course , there was her whole illicit involvement with her sister 's husband . brooke and bill . bill and brooke . i mean , poor katie -- to be betrayed like that by her own sister . i do n't know where she found it in her poor sick heart to ever forgive her . i know i couldn't . i 'm still having a hard time forgiving her for storming into my home , making demands of my husband to get rid of me . is it -- mm - mmm - mmm . i 'm good . i 'm good . i 'm sorry that i got all worked up . shauna : it 's okay . please . i mean , brooke drives me crazy , too , and issuing those ultimatums to ridge about his son and pushing him further and further away . and now ... quinn : now what ? shauna : [ sighs ] i saw something . something that i can not get out of my mind . something that makes me very concerned for ridge . according to her family , katie : i 'm glad you finally realized what an amazing person i am . bill : [ chuckles ] well , you have to be to put up with me . katie : hmm . bill : i know i do n't always make it easy . katie : nothing worth fighting for is ever easy . and i have n't made things easy on you either . all my health scares -- bill : no , katie . katie : no . your love and your support made all the difference . just like wyatt 's love and support will make all the difference for sally . [ cellphone chimes ] wyatt : [ sighs ] what , more rabid devotees from the sally spectra fan club ? sally : [ laughs ] no . no . it 's nothing . wyatt : you sure ? 'cause you seem a little ... sally : i 'm fine . really . everything 's fine . wyatt : uh , i 'm -- i 'm gon na hop in the shower then . do you wan na maybe go for a walk on the beach , get a little vitamin d before heading to work ? [ both laugh ] hey . um ... you 'd tell me if there was something wrong , right ? sally : what could possibly be wrong ? i 'm here with you . wyatt : right . sally : [ sighs ] ridge : i have a little surprise for you . brooke : yeah ? ridge : uh - huh . now , it 's something simple , but it is something that every household needs . brooke : wow . ridge : this , milady , is for you . brooke : ooh . ridge : huh ? brooke : [ laughs ] ridge : no ? it 's a digital picture frame , and it 's gon na be filled with all the memories of our life together . brooke : oh . ridge : what do you think ? brooke : yeah . quinn : what has miss insufferable done now ? shauna : all right . well , like you , i read all the tabloids . endless stories about brooke logan , girl from the valley , seduced her way to the top of the fashion industry , into the forrester family , much to stephanie forrester 's chagrin . quinn : chagrin ? stephanie hated brooke . it was all - out warfare between the two of them . she especially could n't stand how she would relentlessly pursue ridge when he was happily married to taylor . and , of course , as soon as she was able to lure him away , some other dude caught her eye . that woman 's less than committed past to ridge is legendary . shauna : what about bill spencer and her ? quinn : what about them ? shauna : well , i know the tabloid version , but you know the real story . you said that she betrayed her sister with him . betrayed how exactly ? [ cellphone rings ] [ rings ] [ cellphone beeps ] sally : why are you calling me ? dr. escobar : [ sighs ] i had no choice . you would n't answer my texts . sally : there 's no reason to . dr. escobar : there 's every reason . look , come to my office now and -- sally : no . dr. escobar : sally , we have to talk . if you do n't come to me , i 'll be forced to -- sally : look , how many times do i have to tell you ? i 'm not interested in anything that you have to say ? dr. escobar : what you 're doing is wrong . you 're not handling this the way you should . sally : you are supposed to be my doctor , not my life coach . i do n't need this from you . i do not need you harassing me . i have everything under control . just please leave me alone . [ cellphone beeps ] ridge : right ? brooke : i love it . ridge : yeah ? brooke : really , i do . i do . it 's a wonderful way to remind me of our great memories . ridge : and you know what i did ? ridge : i sent a link to everyone in the family so they can upload all the pictures . dad , steffy , everybody . brooke : you did not . ridge : i did . you know what that 's called ? brooke : what ? ridge : technology . brooke : oh . ridge : hmm ? brooke : yeah . well , it 's great . i 'm sure we 're gon na have new memories to add to this lovely picture frame . ridge : hey . brooke : hmm . ridge : i love you so much . brooke : i love you so much . ridge : you know what else this thing can do ? brooke : what ? ridge : check it out . quinn : you wan na know the dirt on brooke and bill and their hot and heavy romance ? shauna : yes . how it happened , why they were involved . i mean , is this why ridge hates bill so much ? quinn : what is this new fascination with brooke and bill ? shauna : i do n't -- i do n't ever wan na be the woman to disrupt a marriage . i do n't wan na come between a husband and wife , even if there is a legitimate reason to . quinn : okay . wait . are we back to brooke and ridge again ? shauna : brooke was right about thomas . he was still obsessed about hope , and ridge knows that and he accepts it , right ? quinn : yeah . shauna : so i am guessing that as we speak , ridge and brooke are probably together right now . quinn : but ? shauna : is she worthy of having ridge ? quinn : oh , i clearly do n't think so . i do n't think you do either . shauna : ridge is an amazing man -- a man that deserves to be appreciated and cherished and respected . you know , the time that he and i spent together , that connection that we had , how can a woman not fall in love with him ? how could i not fall in love with him ? quinn : i know that you are in love with ridge . but i do n't -- what are you getting at ? shauna : i was caught completely off guard . and why i did what i did , i 'm still not sure . watch this . you 'll see . quinn : is that bill and brooke kissing ? [ gasps ] shauna : yes . quinn : oh , my god . when ? shauna : the night before thomas and zoe 's wedding . how can she do this to ridge ? how can she do this ? he loves her . he believes in her . he believes in their marriage . and she 's secluded in a cabin kissing a man that her husband loathes . quinn : oh . shauna : i mean , has she been playing him for a fool all this time ? how committed can she be to ridge when she 's making out with bill ? quinn : [ laughs ] | brooke wakes up in bed alone . she wonders where ridge went . he brings her breakfast in bed . he promises her that thomas will never come between them again . brooke tells him about hope and liam 's wedding . then she brings up shauna . ridge ignores that and promises brooke that he 's committed to her , and she agrees that she is committed to him , too . ridge surprises brooke with a gift - a digital picture frame . he 's going to be loading it with photos of the two of them together . she likes it . he tells her that he sent a link to everyone in the family , so they can send photos to it . at home , quinn fills shauna in on what happened at thomas ' aborted wedding . shauna is most concerned about ridge 's feelings and also asks if he 's back with brooke yet . quinn tries to get her to look on the bright side , saying that brooke and ridge are always breaking up . shauna is not so sure if brooke is committed to her relationship . after some discussion , shauna tells her that she saw something that makes her doubt brooke and worry about ridge . she asks quinn about brooke and bill 's history and then shows her the video she took of them kissing at the cottage . shauna wonders how brooke could do this to ridge . quinn is shocked but pleased . |

phoebe : kinkaid . rick : drew is coming to the wedding from london ? just put him at the table with tommy . they 're old friends . phoebe : ca n't a secretary do this ? rick : no . because they do n't know which vip is going to slit some other vip 's throat because they do n't get along . ridge : hey , phoebe ? could you get me the rodeo drive plans from my office ? our interior designer has all the fitting rooms looking like cubbyholes . and a felt - tip pen , please . phoebe : dad , can you do it ? i mean , we 're only on the ks . ridge : okay , you 're busy . i 'll be right back . phoebe : why ? ridge : why what ? phoebe : why work in here , when you keep finding everything you need 's in your office ? ridge : you 're right . i 'll be in there if you need me . phoebe : we 'll be fine . rick : you can be such a brat sometimes . phoebe : well ? rick : well , i 'm just making a mental note , for future reference . phoebe : he ca n't trust us in my grandfather 's office with at least 50 other people roaming these halls ? rick : come on , who 's next ? phoebe : me . how long am i going to be on your vip list ? if i still am ? [ scene_break ] jackie : well , i suppose the question is , how exactly to arrange it ? donna : well , i can think of another one . is what we 're considering better or worse than what ridge is doing to those kids ? he at least can say he 's acting from fatherly motives , whether he 's right or wrong . jackie : all we 're discussing here is a way to help phoebe and rick follow their true feelings . donna : there 's a little more to it than that . engineering a way so ridge can find them in some intimate situation -- jackie : to confront him with just how wrong he is . donna : to hope he crosses brooke 's line in the sand and she breaks it off with him . jackie : so , do you think he 's good for your sister ? have you forgotten how he toyed with you , and then quite unceremoniously dumped you ? donna : no . jackie : well , then maybe you 're just a little bit worried that if she does get rid of ridge and his family , that she will come back to nicky , and forrester creations , and you will slip down the totem pole ? donna : i am not so completely selfish as all that . but trying to play my own sister like a ping pong ball -- jackie : all we 're doing here is trying to help brooke free herself , so that she can follow her feelings , too . i mean , the only reason that she ran back to ridge was because nicky disappointed her . and now she 's trapped . if you could 've seen nicky last night with her -- the most bitter regret of his life is losing brooke and her family . taylor is a marvelous woman -- marvelous woman -- but she 's just a substitute for what he really wants .
